people wondering where if been and why don't complain ?

Actualy i do but i don't do it on this forum because it won't fix anything, because this is not sony's forum.

posting about bugs here is pointless sony won't get to known about it and fix it.

---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

ranting here is pointless and waste of time.

devs here can't help with locked tablet probably not intrested either.

Has anyone rooted from new JB stock update?

Also, has anyone tried any other launchers that don't require root access (e.g., Nova Launcher)?

===== My Current Devices =====

HTC One 64gb - not rooted (yet)

Sony Xperia S Tablet 16gb (32gb SD card) - stock JB 4.1.1

apex launcher if tryit but then i got random shutdown during sleep probably because can't disable stock home launcher which takes probably 25% ram.

I got 4.1 and the wifi dropout issue :( I thought 4.1 was meant to resolve this....

If the system is screen off and sleeping for awhile, wifi is dead when I turn it back on. I do not have to reboot though (can toggle off/on).

advanced wifi lock fixes this but it kills the battery.

Anybody got any suggestions?
[Sony Tablet S] dex9mm:
Ive only just started getting that issue after I updated to officail ota

along with the ocasional black line flicker when im scrolling

Wifi issue seems better with root and a cpu seting tweaks

Anyone else noticed that ClearAudio+ isn't working?

Not working for me with either headphones or speaker.
[Java for Android App Development] tfellas:
I have an idea for a game called six 'degrees of separation'

basically you pick 2 actors/actress with a connection of 4 other actors or actresses between them

for example

if the challenge is Tom Cruise to Dan Akroid

(1) Tom Cruise->(2) Morgan Freeman in Oblivion, Morgan Freeman -> (3)Jim Carrey in Bruce Almighty, Jim Carrey -> (4)Cameron Diaz in The Mask

Cameron Diaz->(5) Eddie Murphy in Shrek, Eddie Murphy->(6)Dan Akroid in Trading Places

rules:

not repeating of films or actors and no tv shows JUST FILMS!!, everything else

is this possible to make if so how? I am a completely new to Android App programming.

A way I thought might work if all possible (and let me know if not) was to somehow grab the data from say IMDB picks the (1) and (6) and then the user types in the (2),(3),(4),(6) and the films there in and there is a check to see if its correct and if so great in not guess again.

Pseudo code

if (actor 2 and film 2 = film 1 and actor 1) // or something to that effect.

{

//continue

}

else

{

//try again

}

thanks in advance
[Java for Android App Development] patedit:
Your idea is playing around with Six Degrees of Kevin Baco (see here) -you probably already knew this, this is just for future readers! (hello future readers!:D-.

There are many services similar to what you offer (example, example 2, example 3, ...) Btw, I just saw that the last example has an Android app as well.

Once said that, your question is kind of vague, isn't it? It is shocking to read "So, guys, I have this idea in mind, how can I do it?". Do what?

The idea is reasonable and you can perfectly implement it. The 'how' is up to you, but that is not part of Android coding.

I'd suggest you to start here, it is an open movie database and they tell you how to gather information from it. Take a look also here and google a little.

You'll learn a lot, good luck :good:

-movie game

I was aware of that game, this is something me and mates play but we have to think of the 6 people

-Basically i want to have 6 image holders (1 and 6) populated with 2 random actors and 2-4 empty and then the user types in answer and then there is a check to see if it is correct.

I am not new to programming just programming for android, I wanted to know the sytanx

[Java for Android App Development] tfellas:
connecting to a database

for the purpose of development I downloaded 6 images from IMDB and put them in my 'drawable-hdpi' folder along with a generic place holder image. I want to things to happen. I have 6 ImageView's. 1 and 6 are two actors picked at random and placed the other 4 are the placeholder image how do I:

1. on a button press, change pictures 1 and 6 at random from the 6 six images i uploaded with no repeat error such as will ferrel -> will ferrel. can I create a database with them in?

2. when the user presses the place holder image they can choose or search (from the same database) for an actor and then that image is replaced with the actor picture

thanks in advance
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Tachi91:
So bought the att verison full price... No account so I called att for the unlock code. Waiting period is up to a month to get the code. Is there another way? Well since the whole online unlocking service is out of the question. Thank you officials on Pennsylvania ave
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] olly666:
I would have a look into that... Every time I've bought an off contract device from a carrier I've walked out the door with it unlocked. The deal is that they'll unlock it once your contract is complete and paid off. Since you don't have one, they're obligated to do it. If they're being dicks about it, call or email the executive customer service (google it). If you get desperate in the meantime you can probably do it through the bootloader tool, but don't quote me on that.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Tachi91:
Apparently since the whole 'AT&T exclusive' comes into play the unlock code is not available even to the reps at the exe office.

Even owning the phone 100% AT&T still finds a way to **** you over.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Tachi91:
AT&T wouldn't give it to me, but online websites did.

do you know how to decrease the response time?

my W8 has bad response time while playing Temple Run game.

also it take 1-2 seconds to turn on the screen when pressing the power button after phone was sleeping.

can you make the notification bar open while we at the lock screen?

things that could be better :

hey guys, does your w8 home key supports wake up screen function?

if you've rooted your phone could anyone check qwerty.kl under /system/usr/keylayout

to see if key 102 home has WAKE_DROPPED after it
[Android General] amstel:
no WAKE_DROPPED

there is only HOME after this key
[Android General] chenbq:
seems like home button does not support wake up screen function, simply add WAKE_DROPPED after home. I think it can make home button supports wake up function. still waiting for my w7 quad core. haha

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

for 4.2 rom, i think you can flash thl w7 quad core firmware. they have exactly same specs. except screen size, all physical buttons are same as well.

w7 quad core rom can be downloaded from thl official website.
[Android General] amstel:
if I'll try that, do I need to change the screen size value inside the rom?

will it be easy enough to get back to the old rom if any problem occurs?
[Android General] chenbq:
haven't checked with w8, and im still waiting for w7. don't think it will cause any problem, for screen size it does not matter, as physical pixels are exactly same 1280*720. the problem now is if you got official w8 firmware and has recovery, everything can be reversible. if you don't have w8 official rom, don't risk it. could you plz try if you can wake up your phone by home button, if it does not support. try to put wake_dropped after, which i;ve mentioned above in the forum somewhere. and let me know. thanks a lot.
[Android General] ch-vox:
Last March 27th, an official from ThL wrote me this answer :

We are sorry to inform you that we havn't have the 4.2 Android ROM for ThL W8 mobile phone. Because the 4.2 Android ROM is not so stable now.

why is that?
[Android General] C3C076:
Cores are online according to system load. You wouldn't want to run them all online all the time. It would drain your battery.

I'm trying to figure how to unlock the fps to 60

Really hard to find something about it
[Android General] C3C076:
Eastcom W1 ROM my GravityMod is based on runs at 46 fps on original w1 device. 30 fps on ours. The only difference is the kernel used. That makes me think it's something at kernel level. Nothing we can do about... W1 original kernel doesn't work on W8 (black screen) so cannot be used and that's why I had to use the original one.
[Android General] -fluffy-:
question

how mutch have u modify in this rom

is it ur own or a copycat just modify a Little

have u deodexed it urself

framerate can be set in media XML just have to find it like in htc
[Android General] C3C076:
As written in OP. It's pure W1 stock with some of my addons on top. No drastic changes. I deodexed it myself.

Regarding FPS. I mean UI FPS (Project butter), not media FPS. These are 2 different things...
[Android General] enricogiovamazing:
Thank you so much! i can't wait for this phone!!!
[Android General] chenbq:
guys beware the difference between 8p64 and 8p32 is the actual rom size. which is 64Gbits (8g)and 32Gbits(4g).
[Android General] C3C076:
Makes no difference when custom rom is flashable via recovery...

Care should be taken only in case of flashing bin files via SP Flash Tool...

THL W8+ Power Button error

Noob here.

Having a serious problem with my new THL W8+

Phone worked like a dream for 1 week.

Now when I press the power button to 'sleep', it sleeps fine.

Pressing the power button again, phone still sleeps...except the 'Menu' and 'Back' buttons light up, I can hear the volume up and down keys and I can even touch the now blank screen and hear the sounds of dialing a number etc. Really odd.

This 'bug' can happen at random up to 10 times per day, which forces me to reset the phone each time.

I have factory reset the phone twice, re-installed apps and the phone works again as it should, perfectly, for a day or two and then POW!

It must be a display error. I went into Settings, disabled 'Daydream'.....changed the Auto-Lock settings etc and still no change.

I have been through all the forums and have no ideas left.

Now I am in Engineering Mode but I don't want to fiddle with anything I am unsure about.

I am looking at Hardware Testing/Display and Non-Sleep Mode.

Does anyone have any idea what it may be? Any help greatly appreciated in advance.

Kindest regards,
[Android General] -fluffy-:

its sound like a driver problem i hade same prob wiht my htc an it was driver problems

had to wipe everything and go back to 1.5
[Android General] C3C076:
Did you upgrade to 1.6 before upgrading to 1.7? If no then this is the reason. Incremental updates must be flashed in correct order and you can't skip any of them... Anyway, this is a different situation than what they have since incremental updates are installed from recovery, not sp flash tool.

Also, are you using some 3rd party mods/tweaks?
