[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamud.q:
same question here ?? how to make icon size look like xperia ZU ??
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fards:
try changing the resolution of the launcher?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamud.q:
I did and change it from 460 to 331 dpi , and now I have a small icon like on xperia z but there is a lot of space in home screen that can't be used?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroInfinity:
The icon size cannot be the same size as the ZU due to obvious screen difference (5" vs 6.4")

the dpi changes the space and how things look on your phone. That also includes icons.

Actually, 320dpi is the correct XZU dpi for OUR 5" 1080p screen. 480dpi is our stock. 320dpi is using the same icon size as the XZU, the reason why it looks smaller is because obviously our screen is not 6.4" and so we can't have everything looking 100% like XZU. That's just insane lol

if you want big icons, either use a different 3rd party launcher which allows you to do that, change dpi back to 480 and stop complaining about it on the stock launcher or live with the fact that you can't change icon size in stock launcher.

320dpi with the size of XZU screen is impossible without an actual 6.4" screen lol.

It's just like saying, TabletUI/PhabletUI looks too small on my 5" phone but looks big/normal on my 10" tablet! what should I do? ROFL.

P.S XZU has a ppi of 344ppi which means it should use 320dpi XHDPI (eXtra High Density) Our XZ has a higher PPI Density of 441ppi which means DPI will be XXHDPI (eXtra-eXtra High Density) When our XZ use XHDPI, by nature of the screen and ppi, it will look small and there isn't much you can do about that (except from changing icon size in 3rd party launchers)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamud.q:
thanks , I get it now .
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianrobbie:
Sorry, thought I'd better pop back in. I set my DPI to 320 and, like above, found I had a lot of space either side of the screen I couldn't use. I changed my screen resolution to 600 x 1024 and that helped. I can now get 7 icons (including app drawer) along the dock and can use the entire screen to place apps/widgets etc. Icons are a tad small but still very use able.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamud.q:
you will face a problem with Sony widget , can it be fixed ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianrobbie:
So far I haven't come across any problems. I didn't change the system DPI. Only the settings for Xperia Home launcher. And also for Browser.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianrobbie:
Just to show the widgets use the full screen. This is the Flipboard widget stretched to full.

[Micromax A110] ibshar:
And i don't see why anyone would want to do this, it's just killing your phone by overloading it with a Desktop OS in a VM!

Also perhaps providing credit to the person that did all the hard work might be a good idea :rolleyes:.......

Oh and its not a VM guys, it uses chroot which means native ARM linux running with the Android kernel, within Android.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoteboyTech:
Guys, I know it's Hard but is it worth buying the Galaxy S4??? Or I should go to HTC One, or any other android phone??>.

BTW I heard it has lags.. gets over-heated from the CPU side??..

What's your opinion about the i9500 (cause that's only availaible at my place).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Engineer:
S4 is the way to go

I9500 is a fantastic device. Go for it.

What you mentioned are issues prevalent with some of the devices (depends on your luck) and could happen even If you buy any other brand.

The Overheating issue is there on both S4 and HTC one, which occurs while gaming not while using it for day to day activities.

Buy it from an authorized dealer.

Press Thanks if I helped.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
I have used I9500 and using HTC one both are very good u can get any one of it if u want lag free device HTC one is for u

And u want more features u should go with S4

.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabre31:
I have both phones and HTC one does heat quicker and battery is not as good. But phone and screen looks much better then galaxy s4. HTC one has no SD card and no removable battery which some people don't like. Both are great phones. HTC one is much smoother and not laggy as sgs4 but if you apply custom roms that lag goes away.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appimaness:
first - what phone do you have right now?

for me if the phone doesn't have SDcard slot it's worthless so this is my reject on the HTC one

and you can always root and change the startup apps running on the phone background to reduce lag. keep in mind that if you are conservative user - you can keep your S4 running with free 700mb RAM
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Debsguy100402:
I've have both. More features on the S4 and there are settings to get rid of the lag. Both cameras are good I like the screen on the HTC One better though. The SD card and removable battery are nice too. :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] GaEul:
No credits? I think that some of the system apps were taken from other custom roms.

Hi all,

I've got a XDA2s with Tomtom v 3.07 (build 422) and a Rikaline GPS 6010 receiver.

For some reason they do not work well together! I need to reset, change comport and do some other things to get Tomtom and the receiver to lock on the satellites. (even when the receiver / Tomtom is seeing more than enough satellites!

once locker all is working fine. Even if I exit Tomtom, and start it straight up again.

When I try Tomtom again (some time later) it will again not lock, and I need to do all kind of tricks to get it to work again.

Anyone here who knows what might be wrong?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] tikkel:
I am working with the same combination, and never had this experience. Did you try to remove and reinstall the software?

Did you select the right gps receiver in Tomtom?
[HTC Desire S] helloween3:
Hey guys,

Returned to xda after a long long time, had even forgotten my previous username/password so made a new id!

Quick question, which is the best current rom for desire s? By best I mean the one which is stable, the most lag-free and hang-free, and if possible, has a good battery life.

I've been on sabsa prime for a long long time now and it had a very crappy battery life and it hangs like a massive saturday morning hangover.

How is the [ROM][16 July][4.0.4][Sense 4.1 Full][OTA|HUB|Tweaks|v1.1.0 ModPack] SVHD v1.7.3 rom? I've done a quick browse through the dev forum and it seems to be the better one.

Any quick help would be much appreciate. I'll flash after the first 5 or so recommendations asap
[HTC Desire S] ifti786:
These type of 'best' rom posts are not permitted on xda as you will get 10 different answers from 10 different people and can cause arguments. Please do not make these threads on xda.
[HTC Desire S] helloween3:
I understand but how else am I supposed to figure out which rom I should use. I mean I can't go around installing every single rom and keeping it for a number of days to test them. that would take too much time.

one of the purposes of the fourm is to help people, right?

Can I request the mods to lock this thread, after exactly 10 replies? That would serve both purposes. Thanks
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Actually, the sole purpose of XDA is Development. It is not a helpdesk for noobs - if you disagree with that view then that shows you haven't done much searching and reading yet.

Pick 3 or 4 of the ROMs which look best to you, install each one, test it and then move on to the next - that is exactly what we all do with our devices. The only person who can judge a ROM is you - some ROMs might work well for one person so they recommend, but you hate it or it kills one of your applications. Benchmarks are useless and serve no real-world purpose.

Just download, flash, try and see what suits you.
[HTC Desire S] helloween3:
I understand what you're saying. I'd like to add that I'm in fact not a noob and have tried about 7-8 different roms on my desire s in a period of 3 or 4 months, towards the end of last year. I have a job now and no time for these things so I was just looking for a quick fix. Just some decent reviews from people who use the roms on these forums.

Please STOP posting here, you're ruining this thread and you're doing exactly what the first reply warned about.

If anyone wants to say a sentence or two about a specific rom, please post, otherwise don't.

IF the mods have a problem, then lock it. I strongly request you to leave it open for 10-12 replies and then lock it but it's up to you.

Good day.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
You ARE a noob or you wouldn't have created this thread contrary to the rules of XDA. Most of us on here have jobs, but we still fit in our addiction to flashing and to helping other users around real life as best we can.

I was trying to explain further, to your befuddled mind, why you had been told by [MENTION=4944247]ifti786[/MENTION] that this thread was not a good idea.

...

You can "strongly request" all you like, but I don't think it's going to get you very far. Reporting this thread now :rolleyes:

[Sony Xperia ZL] einfachgaer:
Then you create a folder on your PC which is accessible from the network. With es file explorer you can access it and copy files.

See screenshot

If you want to copy files from your PC to your phone you could make a ftp server with es file explorer.

Atleast that's the way I copy files when they are not too big because cable is faster in copying.

I hope I could help you...

S4's battery life kills over the S3's..

But if you're in a tight budget, you can get the i9305 instead and buy an extended battery
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andymihail:
If buget is not a problem, than I suggest you should choose an S4 instead of the older S3 version. There are many things to be taken into account, great display, better battery life and so on...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshehab:
So all recommending S4 GT-I9505 , because the good battery life time , right ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andymihail:
Battery life time is of course dependant on the way you use your phone. I have also an S2 and with the stock 1600 battery was just not enough for one day of normal usage. After I replaced the battery with a 2000 one (400 mAh difference) , I was entirely pleased.

Au contraire, with my S4 GT-I9505 I don't feel the need to get a better / larger battery, as the stock one is enough for my needs which includes surfing the Web, emails, gaming, music and so on.

Now, between i9305 and i9505 you have 500 mAh difference. Sure, the screen will eat some more juice, but even so...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshehab:
thanks for reply, this from the battery life time perspective , from hardware perspective does it worth to pay more for GT-I9505, actually my using from mobile is mostly calls and web surfing that;s all ...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
If you don't care about super sharp images, airview and using those gestures to browse through the websites you visit I would probably buy the S3.... There is no real difference between the 2 other than that. The 2gb ram is nice but not so noticeable when using your phone ( I believe the S3 I9305 may have come with 2gb) but the internal memory is really eaten up with the apps you will never use. What I'd do, and take into account the sluggishness of demo units, is go and try them out at a phone store and see what they're like. In the end it is your decision and YOU have to live with it...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eejee:
It all depends on your preferences. I suggest you search the YouTube channel for s3 s4 comparisons. There are plenty of them.

It would be cool to see some glow in the dark TPU cases. They could easily make some lumibrite cases that would glow super bright for hours. This stuff is so bright for the first few minutes of coming in from a sunny day you would not need to use the torch (flashlight) feature on your phone.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] petterekman:
Well, after being infected with this uncurable decease called "Polish-o-mania" a while back, I just decided that the matte finish of my S100 cover wasn't just enough for me.

Also, the fact that my friend recently polished his SE T610 cover probably didn't make me NOT want to polish it... :P

Now, since I'm quite new into this polishing-thingy, I don't have the stuff at home to make it really, really nice, but I'm gonna go shopping tomorrow for some better polishing fluids.

Now, this is my equipment:

-A plastic bucket with water.

-An eraser

-Some sheets of grinding paper (P320, P800, P1200, P2000, waterproof)

-A tube with metalpolish (this is now what is limiting my finish...) and a piece of cloth.

And for the procedure: (remeber to use a lot of water and clean the cover during!)

-Take some 320 grain paper, wrap it around the eraser, and start grinding away. Go in one direction (ex. up and down along the back cover) until you've grinded away all of the matte surface.

-Then you go up a little (i did go to 800 grain) in grinding paper, and start to grind some more, but in a 90 degree angle to what you just grinded. And when you've grinded off all of the scratches from the previous sanding, go up in paper and rotate 90 degrees again.

-When I had grinded it down with 2000 paper, I took the metalpolish, and started rubbing away. And after rubbing a little, I took a clean cloth, and wiped it off.

Voila! A nice, shiny, reflective batterycover!

Now, the problem is that I want the fron cover as shiny, but since I don't want to do it while mounted to the phone, I wonder if anyone could advise to how to remove the front cover?

I unscrewed the torx-screws (4) which held the phone together, but as I started to pull things apart, it seemed to me as if all the inner workings of the phone are attached to the front cover.

But if someone knows (I've tried googling and searching through forums about this...) IF you can separate the front cover from the rest of the phone, and HOW to do it, I would appreciate it greatly!

I will attach some pics, but they are of Nokia 7610 quality, and not at such a high finish as I want it. As I said earlier, I now need finer polishing-liquids... But I hope you get the idea!

(It is at least shiny enough to read a magazine in it's reflection...)

Cheers, and I hope someone can help me with dis-assemblying!
