[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
I love being able to adjust the gamma on my pc to make blacks darker. Has anyone figured out how to do this for Android yet? My one big knock on the Note 10.1 is that blacks look kind of gray to me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
For anyone interested I have noticed that the Maxthon HD browser does blacks better than most.

Funny how something as simple as gamma adjustment seems to be the third rail of Android. What makes this so difficult?

Hi Folks,

Greg Sullivan from Pocketop Keyboard ( http://www.pocketop.net ) is seeking interested parties in assisting with development of a driver for our IR keyboard.

We're a relative new comer to the market, based in Vancouver Canada, and are seeking interested parties in helping us develop a driver for the XDA.

We currently work on the PocketPC 2000 & 2002 platforms. We work via RAW IR.

Please write to gsullivan@pocketopinc.com

Apologies :) in advance if this is not the appropriate place to post.

What about your VERY BAD customer support?

Hello, I was quite happy to see your post on the forum. And this is because I AM VERY MAD ON YOUR COMPANY!!!!

I am trying to contact your company to get help in obtaining the drivers for my device, but got no help of any kind.

Shame on your company, as it is advertized as customer friendly, but actually it does not supports it's customers once they paid.

So you have small hardware, with very bad drivers (hanging the XDA I tried it on) and extremely bad customer supports.

:!: POTENTIAL BUYER OF THIS DEVICE - BEWARE!!!!!! DO NOT GET FOOLED :!: :!: :!:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Wojtek:
Any good lawyer around for easy case?

Last week I finally got email stating that they are sorry for big delay, and instead of support I have to buy my driver first.

I OBJECT TO THIS - and this is why:

1 I bought the hardware that was advertized as compatible with XDA, and as having drivers for it, tailored for my device.

2 Drivers were supposed to enable working with the device - while they are not really working, as they usually crash the machine when input is provided or simply do not load at all.

3 The drivers included on CD with the device DO NOT WORK AT ALL, and producer is/have been warning customers not to use them, as device will need hard reset. I think this is violation of most basic quality rules.

4 Now I cannot get access to ANY drivers on producers webpage nor cannot get them using customer support, so I state it is IMPOSSIBLE TO USE the device I bought from them.

5 Customer support was not respondin to customer queries for months. They simply ignored any input.

:!: Some people may say -> they are going to develop their drivers now, as they charge for them now - my reply - all new customers should get a big sticker on box saying "You will have to pay more to actually use this device, but buy it already and put on the shelf". All existing customers should receive proper customer support, as they bought the device with promise of having it included

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Arun Av:
What the.. :what:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
I wouldn't doubt it.

Sony is pushing our phones down the trash can and there's nothing we can do except for boycotting their brand and relying on 3rd party developers to keep our phones up to date.

Even the ICS update was painfully half-assed. The most ironic move: the Live With Walkman didnt even get the Walkman player on ICS.

WHAT THE HELL!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] predatOr:
It's just a rumor guys...

And a company has its market strategies...

Sony split up from Ericsson... And has started from base after then...

You simply can't expect them to update old phones to the latest of Android... When they got a complete new brand chain to concentrate at...

Though they should have updated Arc and ArcS (being high end phones)

But updating JB to entry level droids isn't beneficial for them. Our phones are entry level smartphones for a reason.

PREDATOR95 ->->->->a.k.a. ->-> predatOr
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
If the "slipt-up" from Ericsson frees Sony from any responsability, then why did they even bother to upgrade the 2011 handsets (except for xplay) to ICS? One point down.

So this is their strategy, their modus operandi, and they won't be changing anytime soon huh? Then why would we, as consumers, support their crappy way of treating their own customers?

I, for one, am willing to boycott Sony for this. I expected better value for my money. It's not like there are no alternatives in the market.

And yes, it's a rumor, but a very plausible one, considering the XJ already got it's piece of cake. All we got left to do is thank sony for spitting on us.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] predatOr:
That's upon you... If you like them or not as a consumer...

Sony never promised of updating 2011 with JB

Value for money you say... In 11K (rupees) ... The price range of Xperia mdpi aren't you getting value for money...

1Ghz chipset, HD camera, BE, and all other awesome stuff

And on top of it you want JB... there's no end to man's greed:rolleyes:

Tell me any other smartphone in the range which has such great specifications...

Which other company provided JB update in entry level droids...?

You want superb hardware along with regular stable software updates like the Nexus,

Here's an advice... Spend some bucks...

Not releasing JB for Arc/ArcS is unjustified and cruel...

But for Xperia mdpi... Its just asking too much... :cool:

PREDATOR95 ->->->->a.k.a. ->-> predatOr
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
Oh wow, now I'm the bad guy, the greedy, the unsatisfied spoiled brat.

Think about it, dude, the Arc S has the exact same chipset as it's MDPI siblings. Upgrading the Arc S and not the little ones would be worse IMO.

Also, please stop dissing our MDPI Xperias, we're not less deserving than anyone.

Thank you.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] amnher:
Look at what happened to the xperia 2012 flagship? Delayed update, sounds familiar
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zengraviz:
hahah that's silly, tipo with 800mhz processor want to run in jb.

compare it to xperia 2011 which mostly got 1Ghz, that's will be more awesomer than that tipo. Tipo doesn't deserve to get the jb update!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Arun Av:
Hey guys come on,cool down!! We will get JB. There's Cyanogenmod and lots of good brains here to port great features and all to MDPI. Who needs Sony JB man? I bet (and I wish 4m my heart) that those JB updates for 2012 devices may hav bugs too,like we hav in stock ics. All those bloatwares and all..admit it,even if we had got jb,we wud hav modded,unlockd and get bored of it at certain point. We hav CM ..which is gonna giv us a stable update soon as we see 4m their progress. MIUI v5 has also been ported to Xperia Play..so we can even xpect that smday. There r lots of flavors for us guys.. Ofcourse it'd b great to hav sony jb as base or mayb the media apps..but let's accept, it'd hav bugs. So, thank you Sony for only one thing, the awesome devices of us. And for the upgrades and updates, it's ok..we don't care. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mnishamk:
@pixelado

I think we got great value for money on the hardware itself. I don't see the specs on any 2011 phones for this much money. And our dev section is fully packed, so I don't care much about the jb update. Only downside is those with locked bootloader can't enjoy it.

But still considering that tipo has lower spec than ours, I think tipo getting jb and us not getting it is unfair( I am not complaining though).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] predatOr:
Xperia E has poor hardware specs but yet its launched directly on JB.

Time plays major factor guys...

And Tipo isn't getting JB... its just a fake Rumor nothing else. :)

PREDATOR95 ->->->->a.k.a. ->-> predatOr
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
It's not always about processor/gpu :rolleyes: .

At the most basic level tipo is "superior" to us.

The 2011 lineup is more similar to the nexus one (yaffs2+ kernel 2.6.x ).Our phones are equipped with raw nand flash.

The 2012 lineup is more similar to nexus S and GNexus (ext4 + kernel 3.0.x).they have emmc based nand flash which allows hardware wear levelling.

Mostly gb was introduced with nexus s and the android archi was modified with it (with assumptions that future Android devices will ship with emmc with hw wear levelling )...android OS upgrades is updated/designed w.r.t to the newest nexus devices .

So technically we are three generations down .

Plus Sony is running two update cycles already ....one for gb and one for ics....

Plus 90 % don't care which OS is running as long as it is running

Xperia 2011 devices may be the only raw nand based device who have the official ICS update...

If operating system is a must

Get a nexus.

Its not a "slap" or whatever . Its reality. Its not feasible economically and technically to spend resources on a 2 year old lineup with hardware constraints of a three year old hardware .

If anything, complain to Google for not providing ics/jb/kernel 3.x to nexus one...might have been easier to work for Sony devs
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
Well, I do care. An offical JB release would finally bring us what's missing from FXPs CM10: new 3.x kernel and new camera drivers/blobs. Remember how FXP's CM9 improved when the official ICS came out? Now imagine that happening to CM10. I'm not saying it's bad, but it could be much better.

I should know, I run CM10 as a daily driver on my XMP.

I've always wanted to hear this from Sony itself: they sold us old, non-future-proof hardware and got away with it.

I agree with mnishamk to some extent. Yes, we did get quite a bang for the buck, but now I'm starting to seel sorry for those who bought the "flagships" back in the day (Arc S, Play, and the like).

Thanks for shedding some light on this though, it's always good to know :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BlackArtsInc:
Come on.Just the same reactions all over again.I remember when I used to have an X8 people were mad about not getting official ICS.Now its the same with 2011 xPERIAs and JB.If Sony's update policy isn't clear to you by now I don't think it's their problem.As for CM10 I still think it's great but nowhere near the stock ICS firmware as far as bugs and everyday stability is concerned.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
I doubt they got away with it.

I think xperia 2011 was a brilliant move by Sony !

Let's take a look at facts periodically.

November 2010 nexus S was released with gb

People were sad that it didn't ship with a card slot .

Sony must be deciding at the chipset

Android 3.0 was a tablet os so it wasn't taken in consideration.

Gb ran smoothly on nexus one and dual core proc. was an overkill .

They must have decided to keep hw as similar to the nexi so they can upgrade smoothly.

Nexus one was better option since it had sd card support.

So they kept one chipset for all phones and focused on other features like camera,design and others ...

In april they released the lineup and it was best bang for buck for mid end .

Latest os ,good camera,awesome music,good design and so on..

In november google trolled n1 users (and xperia 2011 users) by cutting them of the upgrade cycle...

Here is where sony got hit...they had to release the ics update to prevent backlash from high end users even if it was not feasible.

Since the chipset is same ,we got update likewise...

And sony earned a lot of brownie points :)

Now here is the funny part ..

Samsung galaxy S is similar to nexus s yet they didn't provide with the ICS update

The xperia are one generation down similar to nexus one and yet we received the ics update which is overkill

Sony just got trolled by google :rofl:

I bet we would have got kernel 3.x if n1 had ics update :) but sadly it isn't so.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmmmm.....

Why do we need to talk about this again???

accept that FACT that we will never get OFFICIAL JB update from Sony....its not about 2011 lineup has a better spec than 2012 lineup but it all about MARKETING STRATEGY!!!

2011 lineup is the last of it kind made by Sony Ericsson....now there only SONY....The company name is the solid proof that they have decided not to give more support to our lineup....They now focusing on their 2012 lineup which has only SONY name into it..

"Why We Need To Give JB Update To 2011 Lineup When We Are Now Focusing On 2012 Lineup"

Whether if it just a rumors or the real deal, accept the FACT that 2011 will NEVER GET OFFICIAL JB UPDATE!!!

You can make petition, boycott the brand or do what ever you think you can to make SONY heard your voices but in the end, you will get NOTHING.....

Like it or not by end of this year, our 2011 lineup may end up or will be becoming A LEGACY devices in this or any other forum....

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] m.syahril.niezam:
Let them be...

If you love SONY so much, buy their products...

Hate with your device not getting Software Updates, buy the device that SONY support the updates... XPERIA S

If you hate them, sell the product that you owned branded with SONY

If you love to keep up with the Android evolution from GB, HC, JB and etc. , buy the Google Nexus devices.

If you cannot keep up with the Android evolution, then, just used what devices you got right now.. MODS and ROMS are made for the people who want to stay with their devices. (or dont use Android OS, buy iPhone there will always be updates for their OS) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

there is nothing for you to complain because every month, new devices will be release. and they will never stop.. Admit it.

The only things that can keep the devices updated for a year and a half or more is the DEVs out there that share their works with us...

LOVE THE DEVs AND XDA :fingers-crossed:

I'm just pointed out the obvious from my point of view.. nothing else
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lsander:
so for what?

just think they have problem with making bugfree ics so jelly bean will work worse. Now we have our amazing devs that gives us great updates, I think that cm is better than sony update, because is lighter.

So I think that ics is enough for us. I found that sony ics works so slower than any custom rom made by devs. One thing they should do is working kernel update to 3.4 and will be best. But they won't so my advice:

STOP talking about sony do that, don't or is bad. If you don't like sell your xperia and buy nexus. I allways buy sony ericsson (now sony) and newer will buy another brand because it is for me best. I don't need updates worse than previous version

I totally agree with you. But big step back is that Sony didn't give us official fixes for major problems like LED Notification and kernel update. We have still in beta-like ICS. Other devices (all brands) doesn't seems to have this.
