[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DHarman:
Is my operator able to tell when I am using my MDA pro as a wireless 3g/GPRS modem for my laptop etc, as opposed to browsing directly using built in apps? I ask because the T-Mobile bloke in the shop said I had to pay per megabyte if using the device as a modem.

If they can't, I am slightly questioning why I've got my MDA pro. I've already got an hp4700 which in many ways I slightly prefer, and that combined with a bluetooth phone could potentially do everything the mda does, except save me the embarssment of holding a large PDA with a crap speaker to my head when on the phone.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sl9:
It's definitely not easy for them, but it is possible to tell (unlikely they would bother however). Why don't you just upgrade to Web & Walk PRO - it's only about £2 per month more than the standard WnW plan and it DOES allow you to use it as a modem?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mobiler2:
I did it a few times with XdaIIi on GPRS. Speed was still bad and have my VPN drops all the time on PC. Just got the HTC P3600 and want to do the same using HSDPA.

Same issue with the operator: no body know how to set it up. The guys there eventually give up and allow me to browse their intranet to seach for info. Still not working yet.

Hello Android gamers!

I finished this week my first game "Roller Runner", and it is now available on Google play (free).

I did all the art & programming and I had lot of fun to learn C# and Unity! :D

It is a small game, where you have to avoid all the walls while swiping left or right your fingers to control the red ball. The more you swipe in a direction, the more the ball will "fly".

At first some "walls" might look impossible but all of them are not that hard when you learn how to avoid them.

You can download it here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxvitae.rollerrunner

Any feedback is welcome!! :cool:

Roller Runner is Android game is available on google play free. It not a hard when you learn this.

Insanely addictive! I really enjoy this game.

Hi all.. I've had my nexus 4 for quite some time now and loved it..but it's time to upgrade.

Before I got the N4 I was always upgrading to the newest phone but this one stuck with me. A bit too long lol.

Why not wait 6 weeks, and Google follows past releases there will be next nexus product. Nexus 6 or whatever they plan on naming it. The Nexus 4 came out around Halloween 2012 and Nexus 5 came out around Halloween 2013.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasluht:
Yeah waiting for the N6 would be an option. But I would prefer the S5.

If you plan on having the Smartphone for longer, beeing able to change the battery is defenetly worth it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crisisx1:
Tired of the n4, wasn't impressed with the n5. Doubt I'll like the n6.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolqf:
I say wait for the Nexus 6, and if you know you wont like it, just wait for the next Android L smartphone. Android L according to various benchmarks provides a 15- 30% improvement in battery/performance under various circumstances. The S3 nor the G3 will get the OS upgrade for at least 3 months, and probably closer to 6 months... Tag on top the fact that Android L also looks gorgeous... It's a no brainer really.

If you're absolutely set on S5 v G3, then if you believe the next Nexus will be made by LG and will be similar to the G3, then get the G3. If you believe the next Nexus will be made by HTC or another provider, then get the S5. The reason is that S5 has a larger custom rom base, which you may appreciate over the G3, especially if it doesn't have a close Nexus 6 user base to borrow code from.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uchuuu:
Hey, sorry to have to start a new thread but i've done a lot of searching and still got the problem so I was hoping someone here might be able to help me...

Basically I am trying to get my xperia sp to actually function as half-decent music player but the top volume is pathetic (eu volume laws?) and it's pretty worthless as an mp3 player. Tried buying new headphones, expensive tips, all that but it still doesn't cut it. Tried various music players, Poweramp etc. and pumping up the equalizer and pre-amp settings but you don't really get much increase and quality really takes a hit.

So I rooted it (with towel root) with the intention of getting that fauxsound stuff but i've got bootloader unlock allowed: no and as far as i can tell you cant run fauxsound unless you have a compatible kernel and you can't change your kernel with a locked bootloader.

So i guess i'll settle with getting that volume boost mod but for that you need a custom recovery so i tried to install CWM using the installer thats linked on the FAQ page but when i try that it just says "daemon started successfully" and then nothing happens. I disabled all antivirus, things like that, ran as administrator, all that nonsense but no joy.

Short of getting an external sound card for twenty quid and sellotaping it to my phone like an idiot, does anyone out there have a solution that's worked for them?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJMOR:

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matout7:
I am considering buying a Z2 in the next couple of days as a gift for my wife :victory:, it is stylish, with great power

but after reading about the overheating issue( while normal usage, NOT 4K recording) of this phone and the self cracking back glass of it.

I started to have second thoughts about it:confused:

until I read in an article somewhere that this phone uses the heating pipe technology to dissipate heat ( I think the heating issue coming from poor implementation of this tech) and till now (Z3 launch around the corner) sony hasn't commented on :rolleyes:

what about having a normal TPU case on the back of it, since plastic can absorb heat from the back glass cover and dissipate it to the air, since plastic absorb and release heat faster than any glass ( some like DIY, Poor man's heat sink)

and what about rooting the phone and throttle the CPU your self by under-clocking it.

I really like this phone and I want to buy it and Sony was close, really close to craft the perfect android phone but they blew it :eek:

Also I hear that after batch 14w25, those problems disappeared, is that true ???

please help anyone :fingers-crossed:

The phone nowadays is equiped by high-quality glass not just a platis or some kind of easy-break-crytal. Be realistic and reasonable. I can give a list of more than 20 devices I use so far which never crack screen or self dead. NEVER BELIEVE in internet 100%, it is reference.

there is alot in the internet about the self cracking back of sony... with temp suddenly go up/down because of the sudden change in temperature and because of the glass being glass

I don't own a sony, and i am looking forward to buy one... and i am just asking... the argument makes sense to me... and i am not talking about the screen

I am talking about the back glass cover
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thienvandac:
Very well, I lack of the phrase "the back as well". There is no way like that UNLESS you record 4k video for more than 20mins(or gaming bla bla) which cause the temperature up to 50 Celsius degree or more THEN you throw in the water for cooling. THAT is the most stupid thing to do with everything not just phone. Sudden change in temperature from more than 20 Celsius degree(from 50 down to about 30) is causing crack/damage to the item. You can search for it everywhere and maybe from Chemistry or Physic class in high school. Do I say it clear?

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thienvandac:
Just one more to go, do you ever hear and consider the work INSTANT? when you record in cold weather, it slow down the heat up process, when you come out the cold place to hot place, you dont just expose it and leave it. IF you do that, then I have nothing to say, buy other feature phone that can survice you need. USUALLY, people put the phone in their pocket so when they take it out it GRADUALLY heat up (in hot weather), and if you do as I said above that you PUT the phone expose to hot weather for a period (long time) enough EVERY phone will blow your ear/hand. I suggest you search a recently case that using phone while charge causing blow off 2-hand of the owner. Use it wisely otherwise just DON'T. Last post
