I have to say that if someone has such a strong opinion I cannot understand how they ended up on this forum and in this thread.

If that statement is true - I'm not arguing that it isn't and I'm entitled to disagree - then I cannot understand why someone more informed than anyone on these forums would bother to read them.

[One (M7) General] BastoJ:
I currently have a Lumia 800 and I'm moving over to the HTC One so I guess I'm in a similar situation to you. I think as much as I really do like the WP interface and it's rather fantastic integration with Exchange I also feel like a change. Whether I will live to regret it (if I do I can always sell it and get the next Lumia flagship) or not I'm not really sure but as I've had two Windows Phones now I want to try something a little different.

Having said that until I saw the HTC One I was fairly set on getting a Lumia 920 so for me at least the brilliant look and feel of the phone, the clean and modern look of Sense 5 and the unique features on the One really convinced me to look at something different. So I guess if you're like me then perhaps you'll grow a bit tired of using the same iOS interface you've been using for years and want to give something new a go.

[One (M7) General] tdingene:
I switched from my iPhone 5 after having had every iPhone since the 3G. Android never seemed polished enough for me and I could never find an android phone which matched the iPhone in terms of hardware and build quality until the One that is... I finally jumped ship primarily because I really wanted a bigger screen and the iPhone just looks tiny nowadays

I am very happy with the One but there are some things I miss. Notifications work better in ios imo. Notification centre gives you much more flexibility to decide what appears on your lock screen, what in the shade and every app can have a unread counter in it's icon. Background notifications also use less power because of the way ios does notifications.

On the other hand android is just so much more flexible and I am having so much fun playing with it.

Battery life at least matches my iPhone 5 if not beats it. I'm not achieving anywhere close to the battery life I've seen others get on this forum but that's probably because I leave everything enabled and have apps do background notifications having come from ios and not having to worry about those things.

Basically it depends on personal preference both have advantages and disadvantages. I mainly just wanted a change after all these years with iPhone. I am a bit worried about having any problems with my phone because not being able to just take it to the apple store is a big downside.

[One (M7) General] Scootmien:
Everything I express below is purely my opinion and I am not stating anything as a global fact. I'm just getting that out int he open at the beginning before I am accused of making sweeping generalisations and calling them facts.

I have both the iPhone 5 and the HTC One now (picked it up yesterday) ad they are obviously very different phones with different approaches. I used the iPhone as my personal device and had a Galaxy S2 (and S3, which I didn't like) as my work device. I've now relegated the iPhone to my work device and will use the HTC as my personal device.

I think the screen is way better on the HTC, which is no mean feat as the Retina display on the iPhone is still very good. On the HTC, the sound is better, it has a bigger screen, and the OS is just as slick (but very different to iOS and that is something you will need to get used to).

It is still too early to tell if my battery life will be any good on the HTC as i've had it for less than a day and most of yesterday was spent with the screen on as I set it up and copied music to it from my PC.

You can back up your iPhone and sync your HTC to the backup and transfer over all your contacts, mails, messages etc to the HTC, which makes the transition rfom iPhone to HTC very easy, although the software itself is a bit crappy.

Android has come on in leaps and bounds since my first Android device using Gingerbread (yeah, late to the game). I used to espouse that if you wanted a phone that 'just works' without any fuss, then the iPhone was for you, and I still do believe that to a certain extent however Android is now rapidly closing the gap on that particular opinion. The HTC is fast, smooth and relatively easy to use, certainly no more difficult than it is navigating where certain toggles are in iOS. iOS is more locked down, making it both easier to do things as you are not lost in a sea of customisation and it has a constant uniform layout and is also its downfall because you lack that customisation. I do maintain that in my opinion, the iPhone is perfect for someone that doesn't really want anything over and above the basic smartphone requirements (mail, messages, calls, internet etc) and an Android device is better for someone that wants more granularity in the control of their device.

I did think that for the most part, Android devices weren't as good looking as the iPhone in design and build. This is certainly no longer the case. The new crop of phones are stunningly good in those areas. From the BB Z10 to the Xperia Z to the new HTC One, they are all beautifully designed and put together so this old theory of mine doesn't hold water any more. If you are a hipster, then you will still want the iPhone, if you aren't but are still bothered by looks, the HTC One still looks as good, if not better than the iPhone design.

Horses for courses.

At the end of the day it will come down to personal preference but I honestly think you can't go wrong with either device.
[One (M7) General] Sindroid:
Nice discussion.. I was at the same crossroad after i smashed my Sensation. Been using both back and forth and i was considering the iPhone 5, but then i saw The One and fell in love.. Why buy the iPhone when i know that it will be the same phone as what i had last time. With nothing new at all. And would i bother wait ages for jailbreak to come out.. I thought, screw the iPhone.. I would most likely not own one again.

Hi all,

I've been trying to flash ROMs on my phone using my external SD card but it always fails with unable to open zip file. I can flash this properly in my internal SD card though.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Everything I flash is on my external. Sounds like what you use to copy the files isn't doing it properly. I use root explorer to move the files between internal and external before flashing. Double check the file sizes.

I used to use oi file manager. It copies and pastes the file fine but can't move them. You would always get "unable to move some files" but the file would be "moved"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mdiaz33685:
it works fine for me, I always flash from my external...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Waledac:
My Xperia P is 7 months old and does not have any warranty...

Recently i noticed that something is leaking from illumination bar , but my phone was never in contact with water, so there is not a single chance that water has entered , the leakage is not giving any problem to keys , the keys are working fine but the leakage is growing I guess :crying:

could this lead to any big issue???

here are the images
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bangalter89:
Are you sure it is a leak? Is it static or does it move? Because if it doesn't change as you move the phone, it may not be a leak.

If you look closely, you'll see that the illumination bar is not a solid part, its a top piece glued to a low piece. It might not have been properly glued, and with time it becomes worse.

If it is not any liquid in there, and it doesn't mess with the soft keys, i don't suggest to try and fix it yourself, cause it might get even worse. Just try to look past it, like a dead pixel or so ;)

I don't think it will lead you to any major problem. The worse that could happen is that if it gets a lot further unglued the lower part of the illumination bar can become a bit wobbly
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Strike_Riku:
Can't post any pictures as my main camera is crap :L.

On my Xperia U, it did that on both sides the 2nd day I had it. It's not water, and it won't get any worse. The glue seems like a plausible idea. When I hard bricked it for the third time, I sent it off for repair. My guess is it sat in a Warehouse for a week, as it took ages to come back. Anyway, when I was finally reunited with it after a month or so, it had gone. Like invisible to the eye. I was so surprised I thought they had replaced more then the chip this time. They said they didn't, so I was just great full they swapped the LED bar. After 30 mins of this rooting, flashing and doing a Nandroid, it had come back. So it seems that it was the heat.

My advice if you can't stand it is to keep it cold WHENEVER you aren't using it.

But that's just me... ;)

Sent from my To-Be Bricked U

Have you got a old Xperia sitting around? Bring them to us!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Waledac:
It is static and i guess the thing whatever it is increases in area
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bangalter89:
If it is static, i bet that it is a glue problem. And the heat, like Strike_Riku mentioned, might be a plausible explanation.

I love my Xperia P, even more than my girlfriend's iPhone 4S, but i've got to say, this is the kind of thing that makes the difference and gives value to the extra cash you pay for an Apple product. Poor manufacture is one of the cons of this phone. I'm not having this exact problem, but still it is of some concern. My bottom cap after just 2 weeks of use has started to move, instead of being firmly attached to the body of the phone. And i guess that it will get worse.

This is just the kind of thing that you'll have to get used to.

Without warranty, there is not much you can do without some risk to your soft keys.

But if you do want to slightly risk it, you could try to heat to that area with a hot air blower or a hair dryer, in hope of solving it by the glue melting again and pressing the two halves of the bar, getting it properly glued.

Or it could do the exact opposite, and make it worse :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
How can you not have warranty? Everyone gets warranty from Sony for 1 year it's the manufacturer warranty, but I have similar thing you described here, isn't that big a deal, doubt they'll do anything for you
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Waledac:
Becoz i have unlocked bootloader
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bong0x00:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gaganvj197:
Bro, I too poste a thread for it yesterday.

I too have the Same Xperia P Silver and the same Plastic Cover :D

I am having the same issue u are having, But the Glue leak is more of center in my Case. The Glue leak Has covered my Center Home button, I wish i could post images but Forum wont Allow till i reach the 10 posts Mark!

I am having warranty and havent unlocked my fone yet and i can give it to the service center!

Would the fone be replaced or the Illumination bar itself?:confused:

And It can take max a month too, to get it replaced. I am confused whether to give it or not, the Glue leak is gradually increasing!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rahulns.xe:
My Xperia P also have the exact same issue. When i press the bar from both sides it will go away , but after some time it comes back. I think the glue between the bar is going off. I also dont have the warranty. :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Waledac:
if u are having warranty then u should go to service centre , and i think they will change the illumination bar not the phone
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] aayush_neov:
I am also having the same problem. But giving it to service centre is not a useful decision.

First , they will consider it as a design, not a flaw :P

Second, even if they change the strip , then the problem will arise again.

my past experience with service centre is not good. they will surely give more scratches to your phone, than you currently have :(

you can buy spare strip from here :

I'm searching for a way to boot directly into APX-mode from CWM-recovery and normal Android.

Any ideas?

I had my Home key go out on me, so I thought I was done flashing my K1. I finally tried CWM ROM Manager, from the Play store. I had to buy the Premium version to be able to flash more than one file. It works great. You have to tell it you have a custom recovery.

DLNA/uPNP.. There are plenty of apps on both end to do the job. On the Android side, it will use your existing movie player(s) with a client in the middle to do the DLNA browsing.

Xmbc would be a good start

I used an NFS Server. Cifs didn't worked very well for me... It always hangs with cifs.

And yes, I mounted the Server shares on 4.2.2.... this is possible with my kernel...
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
network share folders, use a server app like some said, or just a file manager app to see shared folders on the network and mx player to play
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
.. um, or again, just install a DLNA server. It's not hard people. Don't have to worry about NFS, CIFS, various network filesystems... It just works.
[Nexus 7 General] eksasol:
Two easy solution. Just buy an Asus router with UPnP support, such as the RT-N16. It have usb connection in the back. Connect your harddrive to it, then log into the router menu and enable UPnP. Only thing about this is for some reason when unplug the harddrive to add more files, it didn't update the new files int he library afterward, I had to delete the library files for it to do scan all over.

Or if you want to do it from the PC, there are many apps, but you can use XBMC, add folders to the Videos library, then enable UPnP in the Settings. But you have to keep your PC on all the time.

On your Nexus 7, download XBMC hardware accelerated test build, search for UPnP devices in the Videos section. Or download VPlayer + the UPnP plugin.

Also I want to note XBMC hardware accelerated build have more codecs support than MX Player.

The best solution is to buy an Ouya, connect a harddrive directly to the Ouya, then connect the Ouya to the TV and watch the movie on a larger screen.
[Nexus 7 General] Alejandrissimo:

By far, the easiest way to "stream" your videos is using Archos Videoplayer

Its fully hardware accelerated, doesnt require any kind of server to be running on your pc, doesnt have the limitations of DLNA, doesnt need special CIF applications to be installed to see samba shares. Doesnt need any external player like xbmc to hardware accelerate

It simply connects to whichever windows samba share you created on your network with all your videos, index all the videos in the share, automatically collects movieposters and subtitles, and play the videos of almost any format, including HD rips in mkv, with dts or ac3 audio and subtitles over WiFi

you need both the player

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.archos.mediacenter.videofree&feature=search_result

and the codecs for various audio like dts and ac3
