hi

i have the O2 xda mini S

and it seems to have a mind of it's own, as it won't connect to MSN messenger when i want it to, some times it does, sometimes it doesn't,

the message i get is "temporary conditions currently prevent connecting to the pocket MSN service"

which i've heard is a common problem with these factory fresh XDA Mins S'.

i've downloaded the firmware from the o2 website and flashed the unit, and at 1st it seemed ok, but a few days later the problem came back, and now it's not having any of it.

i've phoned O2 up about this problem, and they seem to be as much help as a wet paper bag! i've gone through all the gprs settings with them.

They say, seen as i can conenct to the interent through GPRS via internet explorer then the unit it's self is funtioning fine, even though messenger doesn't, so they told me to contact Microsoft, yeah right!

has any one got any ideas or fixs that would cure this predicument of mine?

i would be most greatful.

i'm on

Hey guys, currently I am using CWM (Clockwork mod Recovery),

How can i remove it and install the new TWRP recovery ??

any help ?? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskor:
Just install new recovery (TWRP) as ROM from current recovery (CWM)

After installing reboot to new recovery
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shagadelic:
I am trying it a bit detailed...;)

You do not really remove the old one, just flash the new one over it. And how you flash it depends on your image.

Zip´s (.zip) you can flash with your current recovery direct on your phone, and tar files (.tar) or the unpacked images (.img) you have to flash with odin or something similar from your computer.

No way to remove noise. If you can replace your mobile, exchange with a116. I myself did same from flipkart. Else Use low ISO in camera settings. More ISO captures more light and more noise. Also set sharpness to low.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lasswellt:
Just throwing this out there, but are CM and TW ROMs intended to be in Android Development and only ASOP be in Original Android Development? It's difficult to determine sometimes whether a ROM is a CM, TW, or ASOP ROM as they're kind of intermixed within the Android Development. I'd think that CM and ASOP ROMs should be posted in the Original Android Development forum?

i do know there's a directory, but thanks to everyone developing for the S4 on Sprint!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Bielinsk:
Original development is anything based off of google code. AOSP such as CM

Anything based off the sprint TW rom goes in the other folder.

Yes, there are some in places they shouldn't be.

Developers are not always clearly indicating what the base of their rom is.

ASOP. Is The Same As CM. I See Difference. But A Big Difference With TW. Is The Bomb!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] socos25:
I think some of the ASOP/CM roms that are not in original are Kangs from someone else, or a different phone all together.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DJMaj07:
Just an FYI guys, it's AOSP (not ASOP). Android Open Source Project.

I like to think that ROMs built from source belong in Original Dev. That means CM, AOSP.

Everything else goes in Android Dev. But sometimes it can get a little hazy.

pulser_g2 made some good distinctions regarding what should go where:

my bad, that's my dyslexia kicking in there, :D

one thing that maybe as a suggestion is that the ROM devs can put in the subject line [AOSP] [TW] [CM], etc with what the base of the ROM is? I know there's not too many sprint ROMs out there, but those that do exist it's still a little difficult to search for each.

Well nope. I seriously believe there is no such thing at this point. Pretty sad.

Its really hitting me now that I have really been looking, that there is literally no accessories beyond simple basics made for the Nexus 5. What is the deal with that? Nothing. It's pretty crazy. I see all these other devices with insane accessories for every imaginable situation and am in shock. And then go to look for the same for the Nexus 5 and sure enough. Nothing.

He was sad because they don't let him keep the best smartphone of this year.

Haha Very true and I actually commented on his video saying you should be doing a proper review than this.

[Xperia Z2 General] omersak:
Excellent new Russian review of the Z2 (use google translate):

http://hi-tech.mail.ru/review/Sony_Xpera_Z2-rev.html

The screen measurements seem fantastic, especially after adjustment with the built in white balance tool

At 100% brightness, battery ran for almost 9 hours in the 1080p run-down test - more than the HTC One (8 hours) but less than the sAMOLED of the S5 (10 hours). Not that bad conisdering that video playback is sAMOLED's strength and that it doesn't go as bright.

Camera seems drab - but mostly in a good, not-overly-processed way - though they say that it's inferior to the S5.
[Xperia Z2 General] schecter7:
Battery life is actually excellent considering the fact that it has an RGB screen compared to s5's pentile screen. Pentile has way less subpixels to be powered by the battery.

Camera also seems significantly improved over z1 and better than s5 by a long shot especially in lowlight conditions which is my primary usage. No wonder DXO Mark ranked z2 as the best cameraphone.

[Xperia Z2 General] Ramsey:
Thanks for posting the reviews guys. The phone seems awesome. I love its build quality, water-proof body, stereo speakers and rapid performance.

Nearly everything about it is top-notch other than the camera. I was looking at the Clove review and the Russian website review and I saw that it fails when taking landscape shots, in my opinion. As soon as I zoom in I see how blurry and smudgy it is. The details are washed out and not present. Weird blur going on. I can't read text while on an S4 I could read text that is pretty far. The Z2 has very nice indoor shots and close shots as well as macro shots. Very nice results but that's not all the shots I take :(. It has a bigger sensor than the S5 and S4, why isn't Sony using that to their advantage :/...

It's also strange that on one side of a picture the quality is good and on the other side the quality is bad. I can't believe most Sony sensors still have that problem in smartphones.

My wife has an old semi-pro Sony digital camera and the results are awesome. It shows that Sony is not improving a lot in its smartphone camera department.

Now, I don't know if this has to do with hardware or software optimization.

I really wanted this to be my next phone but I think I'll have to just go with Nokia's next flagship (with xenon flash, high MP, and OIS) even though I love Android way more than WP (Wife has a WP device and we both don't like it much but I'm sure 8.1 update is a much improved one).

Before anyone says "Go buy a DSLR if you want quality pictures.." know that I do have a Nikon D3000 DSLR but I want to carry only one device at a time and I know that high quality pictures in smartphones are possible because Nokia has showed us that with the N8, 808, and 1020.
[Xperia Z2 General] SuperMarioGalaxy:

CNET review :

They really liked the phone, they mentioned the phone takes very cold photos with the automatic mode and you'll do better adjusting the camera yourself, they mentioned battery life was hit and miss, they got 8 hours of playback out of the phone :'( in their review of the galaxy s5 they got 15 hours out of it

[Xperia Z2 General] Siema89:
And choppy gameplay because it throttles like mad? No, thank you.
[Xperia Z2 General] omersak:
Not really though. Here's what they wrote:

"From full, the battery had dropped to 23 percent remaining after looping a video file at half brightness for eight and a half hours. That's not at all bad, and you can reasonably expect it to add at least a couple of hours on top of that before the battery dies completely -- something I'll be testing further over the coming days (I'll update this review with the results)"

So it's more like 10.5 hours, which is better than the 9.5ish hours that the M8 managed. Note that the sAMOLED in the S5 means that it'll win these video loop tests every day of the week - that's it's strength. But have a look at real-world battery stats for both phones here on xda - it's seems that it's behind both the Z2 and M8.

Another 5 star review for the Z2:
