How does it perform? Worthwhile?

Seen a number of variations of the phone, wonder which is best and why. From a radios aspect looks like Verizon -01 is best having the most CDMA and GSM radios. Verizon has also released the Android 9 which is nice. Next is the Sprint -02 phone, it also has both sets of radios, but not as many...

Does anyone have instructions or information on the replacement of the factory screen protector? I know Motorola can replace the screen protector and some folks have had it done for free. Does going this route requires any proof of purchase or other requirements. I've seen a youtube video...

Have pogo, want to know if it's possible to throttle stock. Pogo doesn't like root, and the root with magisk isn't something I really want to do. Think pogo may eventually figure a way to detect it too.

I ran unroot and the phone reports as not being rooted, however Pokemon go is still complaining. TWRP is still installed. If I uninstall TWRP will that do the trick? If not, how do I go back to stock? I saw instructions on going back to stock, says to just install _complete. From Autoprime's...

Has anyone been able to find published tmax temps for the Snapdragon 801? Doesn't look like Qualcomm publishes these numbers. I'm hitting peak temps in the 80's running Antutu.

I'm looking to get the LG G3 heat under control. Under nominal load I'm getting in the 50'sC with a ambient temp of 76F If I run Pokémon Go, temps get up into the 70'sC. I'd like to do something along the lines of undervolting or underclocking the phone. Problem is I'm running 30e which...

I've been looking at the extended batteries from powerbear and the like. None of them list which battery cells they use in their batteries. I've also seen a lot of complaints of the batteries dying at the 3 to 6 month mark. Does anyone know which batteries use high quality battery cells...

Would this phone work well with Pokémon go? Wanted to hear from players. Want to know if battery drain, GPS, heat, or GPU are issues. I've read some conflicting accounts. Wanted to know if running MM stock would be fine. If any particular mods are needed.

Considering a Note 4. Want to know what the common issues are with this phone and if these issues can be fixed. For example: + Is battery life an issue with Marshmallow? + Does bloatware cause issues when running stock? + Any hardware issues, buggy hardware? - Are there key issues with...

Found this link describing how to get other ROMS on XT910S. Wanted to know if this is legit, does it work well? Haven't found much about this version of Razr on the sites. http://xt910ks.blogspot.com/

I believe this is a XT910 from Korea, didn't find much info. on the phone. Does it matter? Can I take Root and upload a U.S. ROM? I've found some relevant info. here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644681 Regards, Mike

I found an app that claims to measure internal storage speed. It's Sandisk Memory Zone available on Google Play. I was pretty surprised at the speed it's reporting. I'd like to know what type of speeds other Xperia Mini Pro owners are getting from this tool. Regards, Mike

Is there a way to watch CPU or I/O demand of applications on the android. It's pretty obvious when one app goes rogue, but what if you phone isn't totally slowed, but something is off. Any way to help identify which apps. require the more resource to then consider removal? Mike

I'm using the moveapps app and it works fine. However, there are a few challenges. 1: Not all apps can be moved. 2: Apps go offline if you mount the SD card as a volume on the PC. Is there a way to address either one of these issues? I saw some posts about adding some additional partitions...

Was reading a thread on why ICS. Some mentioned better photos and uncompressed jpg files. When I first bought the phone, it was recommended to try 3rd party camera apps because they didn't compress the jpg. I gave those a try, and yes photos weren't compressed, but I saw little benefit. Can...

Wanted to know if there's any way to reduce the GPS power consumption. Essentially, if I don't have the phone plugged in, power will not last. Not to mention the phone gets very hot. Is it due to the real-time map download? Could maps be downloaded for an area ahead of time to save on power...

I see lists of those that can, but I second guess those not on the list that look innocuous. I have one called download, update center, ect... I'm thinking may have some impact if I remove them. Figure the don't remove list has to be shorter than the removable list. Mike

Anyone know how to fix this? I tried a reinstall of the PC Companion software, but that didn't do any good. Regards, Mike

I've been running rooted GB .62. For the most part, it's been working fine, except for one key feature. GPS If I try to turn on GPS the phone will automatically turn off the data traffic. This is a problem since I need both data traffic and GPS for navigation. I've found that in some cases...

I've been using a nook color for some time and one thing I really like is the screen. How would you guys say the Galaxy 5 compares in screen quality? Colors/Viewing Angles? Regards, Mike

Tried installing CWM on Xperia Pro with GB .62 rooted with the instructions on the forum. Tried installing CWM and it installs, but doesn't seem to be working. Any reason why it doesn't work? Regards, Mike

Anyone have a good compilation of Galaxy player info.? I'm wondering about a few things. 1: How well does it root? 2: Can it go to ICS? 3: Any particular cons to the model? 4: How good is the screen, 4.0 vs. 5.0 5: Can it be soft rooted a la B&N Nook. Regards, Mike

Anyone know the best settings for APN AT&T U.S. for the Mini Pro? Apparently there's a specific setup for the LTE users, but it doesn't seem to work for MiniPro. I also saw settings for wap. and isp.. Regards, Mike

After a few tries, I finally was able to downgrade my ICS Mini Pro to GB .58 root then to .62. Things seem to be right, but a few odd things have happened. 1: Data connectivity seems to stop for no good reason. For example, I enabled GPS and data decided to stop working. Had to do a reset...

not sure what went wrong, but I'm getting lots of forced closed errors. What I did. I went back to GB .58, did a flash and unchecked Wipe data. this caused lots of errors. I figured I should go back to ICS, did another flash in the same way, again I'm getting the errors :(. Anyone know how...

If I do the downgrade using Flashtool, will the phone retain the "data" and "apps"? When I say data I mean photos and files. I see an option for wiping data is check off, I'm assuming this is temporary O/S stuff. Regards, Mike

Anyone know how to get this to work better? Anytime I'm in doors, sometimes when in a car I can't get a GPS lock. Regards, Mike

I've seen a few posts mentioning a best set of steps to root Mini Pro. I don't see it in the guide, it simply mentions different root options. Is there a guide that indicates first rooting GB and backing up to get ready to root or install ICS? Also, I'd love to see an option similar to what...

What are the thoughts on ICS on minipro? Regards, Mike

Anyone know if SK17a can do HSPA+? From what I've read it has HSUPA and it seems this is some how related to HSPA+. Is it just a matter of a software update? Mike

Don't have much experience with this, but was surprised at the number of times I lost GPS signal. I was driving in an area with no tree coverage on a clear day. Why would the GPS signal drop multiple times? Mike

Just recently tried 360 Camera app. Looks pretty cool, however I'm not certain it has full control of the camera. Question: The app has the ability to save photos as high quality, medium quality, ect... I see the saved image size is in fact larger, but the PQ doesn't appear to be any...

I've been struggling with the SK17 picture quality. I've been very underwhelmed, the nr is very heavy handed and in general even under the best light conditions produces low quality pictures. Then it dawned on me, there must be a picture fineness setting. Meaning, how much detail do you want...

I've been taking some test shots with the mini pro camera, and I have to say I'm a bit let down. Turns out the camera is a bit slower than I initially thought, and the pictures come out to be a pixelly mess. I thought the dithering artifacts where only due to low light scenes, but it turns out...

Wanted to know from those getting 2 days out of the mini pro, what are your systems settings to make this possible. 1: I have my screen to less than 50%, can only still manage a day. 2: Do you guys turn off 3G HDSPA? 3: Does wifi use more or less battery than HDSPA? 4: Any of you using a...

Here's my basic bullet review. I've had the Xperia mini pro 2 for a few days and want to share my initial opinions. All the good and bad in one short list. Pros: 1: Size: What I was waiting for in a smart phone, I really dreaded the idea of carrying around a large phone on my belt...

Saw a few threads mentioning there are issues with Gingerbread and outlook e-mail. Anyone know how to get it working? I tried touchdown, it helped me sync the calendar, but not the e-mails. Mike

Wanted to know if a particular ROM has better battery life than the others. Supposedly Gingerbread has battery life improvements; I'd like to know if it translates real world. Regards, Mike

Any guides detailing differences in ROMs and Rooting options? I'd like to know if upgrading to certain ROMs will end up in loss of phone functionality, such as the camera. Looking for best battery saving options too. Mike

Hello all, need a new phone after my previous one met an untimely death. Found this phone searching the web, it's pretty close to the kind of phone I'd like to use. Have a few questions. 1: Is this phone recognized by the AT&T network as a smart phone? I currently don't have a data plan, and...

Anyone have the story on why we don't have DSP support on Froyo, Honeycomb ect...? I've seen a few comments referring to the DSP, but haven't seen any mention of DSP chip specifics. Does anyone know the actual DSP chip model/specs.? Just curious, if we ever do get the DSP support, will it...
