As expected the Xperia Mint looks a lot better than Eldar made out:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/08/07/more-live-photos-of-the-sony-xperia-t-lt30p/
The bottom bezel for the Xperia logo is way to big, but otherwise it looks decent. Not sure about the rubberised/matte plastic back cover, but I have heard it is plastic to allow for a larger battery which is good news. They received a lot of complaints about the Xperia P because the battery life is poor because of the small battery (1300mAh) which in turn is due to the aluminium casing.
The design is definitely more distinct than the Galaxy S3, but not as good as the Xperia S or the Lumia 900.

What rom/phone do you use? I'm reading the media scanning error is common for JB roms
Woa woa woa, I guess I should have mentioned that the developer puts it on XDA for free. Hope you didn't buy =x

Looks like a boring black slab to me.
I'm actually not even using a rom. I'm using a rooted stock ICS Galaxy S III with CWM installed. I've heard some people having the same problem with ICS though.
Yea reminds me of the S2. Boring.
Oh OK. At least in regards to JB, I read that a big problem is a directory on your SD/internal memory with tons of files in it. Like some game folder that might install thousands of 1kb files = no good.
That makes me so glad I don't play games on my phone.
I know. I didn't have the heart to tell him.
Sony should just use the Apple fake Sony prototype phone design.
Hah, thanks. I was going to buy it tonight. I might still pay for it.
Shame me Android gaf.
I'd pay for it depending on how incredibly useful I find it.
I didn't pay for it though since I didn't know how it worked.

Yea, they are all there
And they show up when I use 3rd party alarm clock apps.......but I prefer the standard app
It's a little bit too bland I think. The galaxy S3 is bland as fuck but it has a color that identifies it amongst a lot of other phones. They had something good going with the Xperia S and its lower end lookalikes but I'm assuming that design prevents them from using larger screens and batteries.As expected the Xperia Mint looks a lot better than Eldar made out:

The Ion looks worse but I thought the silver trim around the phone was a nice touch. Is this it for their phones this year or will there be another high end phone?
edit:looking at this on a larger screen, there's just no way around it-one of the two logos has to go. Ideally, keep XPERIA on the front and stick the sony logo on the back. That, or change the positioning like that one asian phone. I don't like how the sony logo fonts look propped up against the earpiece.
You have to view the wakelocks and then basically google the process that's causing the problem, and then figure it out from there.
Weird, you can download Ringdroid apk from here and use that, which some people report works for your case.

I recommend Alarm Clock Plus. I don't know what the JB app does, but this app is great. So many features for my alarms.

720p and 1GB memory and a battery bigger than Galaxy Note's. That's actually pretty impressive. The MTK dualcoure soc is comparable to the Tegra 2 dualcore, both are in the weaker end of the dualcore spectrum.
If this phone has a cheap replacable battery for sale I would consider it better phone than Galaxy Nexus.
I am actually looking forward to this chassis inside a fake iPhone 5 now.

you couldn't get them to trade it in for a tablet or something?
Nah. It took them forever for it to link it up with my account and the last thing I want to do is tell them I don't want it. Also, a tablet would be around $600, and my parents got the 4S for $150.

Ah..I thought Google Nav was built in the iOS Google Maps. I checked it on my ipad and it didn't talk back :|
I hear iOS 6 is getting it's own maps with voice directions. You won't have to wait that long.
I've bought several Chinese phones over the years...
Support from the manufacturer seems minimal though.
Build quality is...not that great. But I wouldn't say it's worse than equivalently priced non-contract devices in the US, and you'll get a lot more performance out of a Chinese phone at that same price point.
Some of these phones have Chinese ROM developing communities. A lot of them hang out here - http://bbs.hiapk.com/. Just open it up in Chrome and click translate.

no flash, no 4G LTE, tiny 3.5 "screen, less ram, no customization, locked echo system, it's a year old, etc all that for the same price... 199.99$

Lol NERDS!
So I'm interested in getting an Oyua-like Android box to plug to my TV, the x86 system I'm currently using is a bit loud and a fanless solution would be preferred.
Does anyone here currently use one of these? Is there a specific model with an active community on something like XDA? My only requirements is that it runs ICS and has drivers to handle video decoding.

Not exactly Android specific, but not sure where else to ask..
My Thrive tablet takes a full-size SD card. I bought one to use with it, but 80% of the time that I tried copying/changing files on it, it said the card was write-protected. The lock switch on the side was not on lock. It was incredibly frustrating trying to get data on/off the card.
Is this a known problem and are there SD card that will not have this problem? The card in question was a 32GB Sandisc card. I'm really worried about buying another card since this has been so frustrating to deal with and I really don't want to have to return another card.

See quaere's post above.
I'd be pretty wary buying one, but 180 USD is pretty cheap - it's practically half the price of a Galaxy Nexus so I am tempted.
Apple's marketing is bar none, tier one
We literally have to rip the programing out of him right in the store, he was DEAD SET on getting a black ip4s when he walked in.
"most of my friends had one"
they had the ip4s out and he was ready to pay for it and choosing cases
until he asked me and a sales rep what phone we would both get for the 199$ range right now.
He walked out with the SG3.
Everything went better than expected : P
I didn't like it because it wasn't a nexus phone but it's got nicer specs than my gnex though
and expandable SD card memory, one annoyance I noticed was he kept hitting the 2 side buttons on the SGIII.
My sister and I had that problem too until we got the Incipio Silicrylic case.
Before I had the s3 I had an Optimus T and this was a nice upgrade to say the least.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So the International One X is getting it's own update soon (similar to the One X AT&T update that hit recently) with Sense 4.1. An early build leaked, and XDA obviously already has a hold of it like always.
Anyways it seems to really fix the Tegra 3 issues. Supposedly they added an extra 2 hours of battery life with the screen on. Also they optimized for the chipset better. Granted it's not really a great benchmark, but people said the quadrant score went from 5100 to 5900. So yeah SOMETHING happened. Also has the general round of bug fixes the AT&T version got along with a bump to 4.0.4 ICS.
Phandroid Article
Sense 4.1 RUU has been leaked (version number 2.15.401.5) , and after some testing, we found the following fixes:
- Live wallpaper lag has been fixed
- There’s a dedicated button in the Camera app to switch between Front/Backward facing cameras. (earlier you’d have to go into the menu for that.)
- A dedicated button to switch tabs in the browser. (You’d have to go into the menu for that, too)
- Complete removal of all 3D-Effects in the launcher leading to a completely lag-free experience.
- Probably the most important- Rebased on Android 4.0.4
- Added ability to remap the recent apps button/ Long-press recent apps/ Long-press Home as Menu. (yes, it removes the Virtual menu bar) under Settings->Display, Gestures and Buttons
- New, blazing fast kernel. We mean it. It scored a pretty impressive 5900+ in Quadrant benchmark (compared to 5100+ on Sense 4)
- Wifi-dropping/ Icon showing weak signal Fixes.
- Better Battery life- 5 Hour+ Screen-on time as compared to a measly 3 Hour+ on Sense 4.
PS: I really think the GS3 releasing has helped normally slow and unwilling HTC to try and step it up with the One Series after launch as the GS3 is killing them.

HTC has been on a quick descent into the "other" category of Android handset makers after they burned all the good will the Desire/Desire HD gave them. I would assume shareholders and the profitability of their company is pushing this as everyone knew the One X had a limited window until the GS3 launched.
The One X is a beautiful piece of hardware... i would love for them to be in the Nexus game again, as its superior in every way that matters IMO to the US GS3... except for the skin (which they are admittedly working to fix)

You wont be forced off it if you pay full price for the phone. I got a GS3 preorder with Verizon so that I can lock in unlimited and get it at upgrade price. One last phone before buying off contract in the future. Based on the performance of the Gnex, I anticipate I will buy less than year old future Gnex or Galaxy devices unlocked and use them with my unlimited data.
Does anybody have any experience editing .psd files for homescreens?
More specifically, I do not have photoshop and I want to edit this picture. I do have GIMP though.
And change two of the icons on the middle row and the far right one on the dock. Can anybody give me a run down on how to do this or is such a long process that I just have to dive into the internet and spend the day learning how to edit three little icons?!

HTC to announce Snapdragon S4 Pro next month

Rumored Leak Pic:
The 1st Rumor all comes from this Stuff.TV "Exclusive"...
These arent the first rumours weve heard about HTCs follow-up to the One X (above), but they are the most extensive. Our trusty mole at the Taiwanese phone maker has dropped a load of specs our way, including the One X IIs codename HTC Endeavour C2.
Alongside that encouraging codename, our source details a 1.7GHz quad-core processor beating in the Endeavour C2s chest, plus an improved battery, a new colour (were not sure which) and bundled UrBeats earphones.
Were told the HTC Endeavour C2 is compatible with the One Xs accessories, suggesting its design blueprint hasnt fallen far from the tree.
On the software side HTC is adding ClearVoice to improve call quality and the Endeavour C2 will be the companys first phone to run HTC Watch 2, the latest version of its video-on-demand offering.
Finally, we have some vague price and release date details, with UK network deals offering the phone for around £5 more a month than the One X and the HTC Endeavour C2 expected to hit shelves on or before October 1st.

2nd rumor comes from the Mobile Indian...
HTC to announce Snapdragon S4 Pro next month
By Nilabh Jha, The Mobile Indian, New Delhi, August 08, 2012
The phone will have a 1.5 GHz quad core processor from Qualcomm, 2 GB RAM, and a 4.7 inch screen.
Qualcomm recently announced its first quad core mobile processor with Snapdragon S4 Pro, which boasts the best benchmarking scores amongst mobile processors.
And now, according to The Gadget Site, the first smartphone to get the processor will be from HTC. Most likely, it will be the flagship phone from HTC One and boasts a 4.7 inch screen with 720p resolution, and processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, Adreno 320 graphics processing unit and 2 GB of RAM. The device might be named HTC One XXL.
According to leaked screenshots the phone will also have an 8 megapixel rear and a 1.8 megapixel front camera. The smartphone is expected to be announced during the IFA 2012 event which is to be held from August 31 to September 5 in Berlin, Germany.
HTC has always had a close relationship with Qualcomm; they were the first to debut the Snapdragon S1 chipset years ago with Desire and were also the first to bring the S4 (in HTC One X) this year.
Qualcomm introduced its first quad core chip after almost a year of Nvidia introducing its Tegra 3 chipset. However, Qualcomm at that time had said that Android is not optimised for quad core processors and therefore it decided to soup up its dual core Snapdragon S4, which apparently had better performance than the Tegra 3.
The technical reason behind the astonishing lead in performance is the Krait core Qualcomm used for the S4. Compared to the Cortex A9 that other manufacturers use, including Samsung for its Exynos processor, the S4 Pro also uses an Adreno 320 GPU, which the company claims will double the speed of its past model.
Qualcomm has in fact begun selling a $1299 (Rs 72,000) tablet for developers running the S4 Pro, but it is for developers to create apps for the new processor. However, it also leads us to think that there will be tablets dotting the market based on this chip. We expect tablets to be announced at the IFA 2012 too.
In the ever changing tech world, Qualcomm currently sits on top above the others. Nvidia and Intel both garnered some attention in the past, but it was short-lived. The single core Atom processor by Intel initially seemed impressive but phones based on that processor received little coverage. As Qualcomm plans to reveal the S4 Pro at IFA 2012, Android enthusiasts hold their breath hopefully for the next monstrous processor.

Rumored Leak Pic:
Yeah I've looked at it on a friends computer before and its extremely overwhelming but I figured if I had to I could sit down and learn. It appears not!
If you would take a look I would really appreciate it, it would finalize my phone homescreen which I've been trying to do for six months now. The .rar with the .psd inside it can be found at this mediafire link its in the sources folder. Password for folder access is: ezacx.deviantart.com
Essentially I want to change the lock grey icon into a camera icon, the magnifying glass into a navigation icon. Want to change the 0.7Camera to say 0.7Music with Spotify and Soundhound as text beneath, and switch the purple dock icon to a messaging one.
I really don't expect you to do any of that work to be honest, its a lot to ask.
