[Vega Accessories] Angst:
This case costs £ 9.97 now

I have this case and it is an accurate review but at £9.97 it cannot be bettered. I cannot see how you would hold documents in it though. I dont know what the price was before. Also brought the screen protector and docking bay.

Flashed to VegaComb 3.2 build 8.1 bugger to install (bad nand blocks) but totally worth it. The official accessories always seem to be better than third party ones and everything matches.

Price list current as of yesterday

Docking bay £19.99 (what)

Screen Proctor £4.99

Folio Case £9.97

16gb SD Class 2 £24.99

I honestly dont think the Advent Vega can be beat from a price and specifications view point. Hope you all have a wonderful new year.

I'm not sure if this is a common problem across all touch screen phones or just the xperia but I find that if I get any moisture on the screen it becomes absolutely useless. If my hands get a bit sweaty the unlock screen just trips out and goes nuts, does anyone else have this issue?
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Yeah. You are not alone. Another thread was open discussing this not so long ago.
[XPERIA X10 General] chronic86:
take a look here for fix, i am not sure if it is actually moisture causing these problems...

Touch screen will freeze. Also when I touch the screen the notification bar opens.

Anyone having this problem.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sryan1983:
Need more information to help diagnose. Are you rooted? Which rom are you using? Have you dropped your phone recently? Has it gotten wet?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjw111:
Yes rooted, s-off, cm nightly (always wipe)

It was reacting the same way before I rooted. Was hoping that would fix.

Would it be a software or hardware issue. has not been wet or dropped.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] deep_powder2012:
Hi friends, I saw this and knew it would be of interest here. This is a Youtube video of Quadrant being run on a DROID Bionic. It ends up scoring a 2284, which is right in line with what the geniuses here are getting out of thier amazing ROMs and kernels (from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for all your work - all of you - there's too many too name). That 2284 is nothing compared to those 3100+ scores being achieved by that data2loop hack (which I haven't tried myself yet). All this without overclocking yet!? Man, these Tegra 2 devices are just animals!!! I am so glad mine is 100% unlocked (I don't believe this feature is listed on the XOOM ;-) ). Here's the video:

EDIT: The system would not let me post a link because I apparantly haven't posted enough posts yet. My apologies. At any rate, the video can currently be found on Androidandme dot com's home page.

The hardware is great but the software is crap.

Motoblur is the worst skin ever. I played around with my friend's Droid X and it lagged like crazy even though it was not supposed to and with moto's locked boot loader policy, I have to pass this phone up.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] deep_powder2012:
I'm afraid I agree with you 100%. However, with a Tegra 2, Motoblur shouldn't lag the device. That said though, Motorola should just not plague thier products with it, period. Keep a little faith though, there's still a chance that the bootloader is unlocked on the Bionic. If it is, I'm definitely picking one up.

There has been an official announcement that the Bionic will be 100% open source and made for devs. Bootloader will be unlocked.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BlackOtaku:
I call complete and utter bull. If it would have been any Moto phone, it would have been the Atrix. Verizon would never allow an open device on their network. Also, the Android blogs would've been all over it. Not cool man, my heart lept a bit before I had a chance to think. :(

There has been an official announcement that the bootloader has been locked and that if you try tampering with it, the device will enter self destruct mode and blow up with the force of a small nuclear explosion because moto hates you so bad that they not only want to take out you, but anyone within a 5 mile radius of you that might have been influenced by your decision to mess with the allmighty blur!!!

[Motorola Droid Bionic] modal realism:
Remember Cyanogen and many other roms do a filesystem hack to artificially boost your scores. An unreleased phone scoring 2284 without any hacks that fake the score is pretty awesome.

I find it pretty silly people are willing to run hacks like the data2loop or filesystem hack with no real-world performance increase except in certain instances like running a synthetic benchmark.

Unless you know for a fact that your flavor of rom isn't hacked (version 5.1 of the Vegan tab rom on the gtablet I'm pretty sure is not), then it's pretty pointless to compare your scores to an unmodified device.

Yup. Very similar to the Tegra2 SoC except it runs an inferior GPU.

Tegra2 3D isn't available yet to my knowledge, definitely not ready for a Q1 or Q2 release on a device.

[Captivate General] kingcobey78:
Hi,

First of all I hope this has not been covered, I searched but found nothing.

I recently bought an unlocked Captivate from the US, I am in Australia. I put my sim in and all was good. Used it for about 4 weeks and then one day turned it on and said on the screen 'you have entered an incorrect unlock code, please contact service provider.'

Now I never entered a code or even had a chance to enter a code. Now it will not let me use any sim at all or even give me a chance to enter and unlock code, which I have obtained using the one click unlock found in this forum.

The phone is rooted but was working fine when rooted originally.

Can someone help? I can still use phone with wifi just not sim. I have tried a hard reset and that still has the same problem. I have tried flashing it back to an older rom, same deal.

What can I do? I can't even enter an unlock code to get it unlocked.
[Captivate General] nacixem:
All sim based devices have a PUK code...contact your provider, ask for it and then try to unlock your phone till it ask for it...then you can reset it...that'd what I would do.

[Droid X General] EsotericPunk:
Hello all, I have a question about the gorilla glass on the DX. In your opinions, do we need a screen protector or not? I'd love to just have the glass front but also don't want to harm the phone. Also, exactly how many gorillas were sacrificed to make each glass screen? I want to rub it in PETA's face.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
To use a screen protector...or not to use a screen protector.. that IS the question...

Um.. I think its more of a personal preference... Do you tend to be harsh on phones? Or do you take care of them.... That is probably some of the thinking you should put into the matter.

I have had my X for around 7 months, and I take it all over. I have not scratched my screen at all... Its really if you are overly worried about it getting scratched... If so, why not spend a few bucks to protect your precious investment! :)
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
I NEVER rocked screen protectors until I got my X... and that wasn't until I saw a scratch on a friends.....

My advice would be if you are going to get one, get a good one like steinhell or however you spell it.

If you get their top of the line it s also good at fighting against fingerprints.
[Droid X General] mattmartin77:
+1 for sysadmin

and elevendy6 gorillas were sacrificed
[Droid X General] tsanuri:
If you are going to keep the phone in a jeans pocket I would say get the protector.

The SGP crystal clear you can't even tell it is there.

How easy is it to get a piece of sand in your pocket and it is harder than the glass.

http://chemistry.about.com/od/geochemistry/a/mohsscale.htm
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
get anti-glare ones, they show less fingerprints
[Droid X General] amasse:
Never used a screen protector or case. Never even bothered to take care of my phone. No marks on it whatsoever and I got it on launch day. Get a screen protector if you want to crappy looking layer of scratched up plastic over your screen. Get a case if you want your phone to be all scratched up.

Cases and screen protectors both do more harm than good.
[Droid X General] buckarooholiday:
My Droid X has proven very sturdy. It's been dropped, kept in random pockets exclusively (with keys occasionally) and has no scratches on the glass. The only damage to the body is a couple of minor dents in either upper corner, which have to be pointed out, and scratches on the back "M" logo.

I typically use a two-piece plastic shell, because I like the way it looks and it offers a little protection when dropped. I tried the Zagg Invisi-shield, as well.

I can't recommend the Invisi-shield, though. It went on with a little work and it felt fine to the touch. It was also only slightly more smudge prone than the glass itself. However, I scratched the protector the day after installation with a paper napkin. A couple weeks later, and a few bucks for shipping, my replacement shield was delivered with a tiny scratch in the center of the front side.

I say run without protection.
[Droid X General] jgraham4598:
I have had my X since it came out. I briefly had the crappy Verizon screen protector/antiglare film on. I keep my phone in my pocket with the glass against my leg and have had no problems. For Christmas I got the Seidio surface combo case. So it isn't in my pocket as much anymore.
[Droid X General] preusstang:
Ive had my X since before froyo with no protection whatsoever. I carry it like jgraham with the glass against my leg. I've dropped this thing on blacktop and facedown on concrete. Not a scratch on the screen. I have some nasty battle scars on the little ridge that protrudes up past the screen though.

I can't stand the screen protectors. I don't like the look or feel of them. If you destroy the glass somehow, just pay the $50 deductable or whatever. Well worth it to me.
[Droid X General] BBJohnnyT:
I also recommend the Seidio Crystal Clear protector. It's much more invisible, and less friction, than the Zagg InvisibleShield. It's also much cheaper (you get a 2-pack for almost 1/2 the price of one InvisibleShield).

I've been using the Seidio for a few months now and it works great. I can't even tell it's on my phone, except it collects smudges a bit more than the naked glass. But a quick wipe on my shirt removes them. Cheap insurance in my book.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sangweb:
Hi expert,

Has anyone successfully JB PS3 using the following link?

http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Droid_Eris

I cannot get it to work, just curious if anyone successfully done it would like to share how you accomplish this. There are 2 steps that I have question on, they are:

Fastboot should say < waiting for device >, I don't get this message, I only received boot image loaded OK

insmod /sdcard/psfreedom.ko returns error message "cannot insert psfreedom.ko file exists"

I've been reading the last 3 days and still unable to get this loaded, is there a more up to date instruction for eris? TIA.
[Droid Eris Android Development] joffen12:
psfreedom.ko

Did you copy psfreedom.ko file to your sdcard
[Droid Eris Android Development] Retrogress:
do you have fastboot on? make sure you have the right root

wonder if having clockwork or RA recovery makes a difference...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chevelle1768:
Why not just use psfSM from www.klutsh.com

Works on my Eris.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sangweb:
Yes, I have the psfreedom.ko on my root of sd card and I think I do have fastboot on because the command fastboot devices return my phone id.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sangweb:
I went to the site but not sure what am I suppose to look for, I've downloaded the img file for eris, what am I suppose to do with it? TIA.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Marisa:
For what it's worth, very soon you won't be needing any device to jailbreak the PS3, the master key was discovered and most if not all future developments will be signed code making the jailbreak method obsolete.

There's already a working 3.55 custom firmware, though many homebrews still need to update to use it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chevelle1768:
Its a recovery img just like Clockwork and Amon_Ra's. Its actually based off of Clockwork. So just flash it to your recovery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sangweb:
To verify, I have to run the following commands except replace the recover-ra with the image I've just downloaded:

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

adb push recovery-ra-eris.img /sdcard

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-ra-eris.img

Am I right? Thx.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chevelle1768:
Just these
[Droid Eris Android Development] sangweb:
Thanks Chev, looks like I can see it on the recovery menu. I'll test it out once I get home. The only thing I see is I get the following error when I flash the image:

mtd: read error at 0x00000000 (Out of memory)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chevelle1768:
Are you running Vista or Windows7? If so, run the command prompt with Admin rights.

Otherwise do this:
[Droid Eris Android Development] sangweb:
No, I ran it on XP but I can see the PS3 jailbreak option now, there are 3 JB option right? PL3, PSFreedom, or Hermes, so I can just select any to boot my ps3 in JB mode, do you know if these payloads has spoof on them?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chevelle1768:
I don't believe any of them do. But you can download the other PL3 payloads from the same site also. Then just extract them to you sdcard.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sangweb:
Hi Chev, thanks for all your help, I think I got enough information to go home and mess around with my ps3, I hope it'll work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Retrogress:
anywhere we can read up on this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sangweb:
FYI, I was able to run the JB last night and it works great, test out some games and got GT5 working so far but it does take a long time to load my GT5 to the HD. I am happy now that I don't have to switch games out for my kids any more :-).

Sup you guys, I'm thinking about trading in my Vibrant for a G2. Should I do it? I don't care about the keyboard as I wont be using it. Just love the build quality of the phone and that its a stock android phone. But if y'all had a vibrant, would you change for the G2?
[G2 and Desire Z General] thedarkpassenger:
I made tmobile give me the g2 after having my vibrant replaced 4 times. Couldn't be happier

I also went from vibrant to G2, by choice, hands down G2 is the superior device
[G2 and Desire Z General] saywhat4118:
Man I am so happy with this G2. 1.8ghz overclock?? That's just bananaz. Has to be the fastest android phone I have owned and I have owned many of them. Vibrant, epic, captivate, Evo, nexus, G1, mytouch3G and now the G2. G2, to me, also has the best build quality too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rUsTyRuSs:
^^^ Same here! If the build quality isn't enough to persuade someone, all of the dev support (CM in particular) the G2 has and will receive, will push you over the edge. Hands down the best phone I have owned!! (My girl hates it though...:p)

[G2 and Desire Z General] Gigamaster89:
Expected answers here :)

I have both in front of me right now. Comparing my vibrant running Nero (without lagfix) to stock G2 I prefer the bigger screen and multimedia playback as well as better speakers. Speed difference is negligible. The only thing better about the G2 is gps and notification led.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fablife:
Meh...I had both (before I had to send the SGS back again for repair)...I would also add...

1. G2 for me has been WAY MORE dependable (I've had issues with my G2, but nothing like the ones with the SGS)

2. Again, for me - G2 was faster based on my usage (even with the slower processor)

3. G2 is much easier to manage from a software aspect. G2 drivers and device seems to be more responsive and easier to manage connecting to the computer. (Kies is a nightmare)

I too miss the SA 4" screen, sleek, lightweight form factor. but if I I have to get it replaced every week due to failed hardware or software - its not worth it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dustrho:
TMO gave you a free G2 because you had your Vibrant replaced four times? I went through five MT4Gs before switching to the G2, but I didn't get mine for free. How in the hell did you accomplish that?
[G2 and Desire Z General] PoisonWolf:
You got to use your puh-puh-puh-puh-puh-puh-poker face.

Haha
[G2 and Desire Z General] lsxrx7:
lol you out of your mind

if you like the HTC G2 build quality keep the G2

there is no build quality at all to the vibrant
