For me it was difficult to get consistent results with Quadrant.

Upgrading the app changed results dramatically.

You can run a benchmark now, and again in 5 minutes time and the results can be way different.

It was great at first but frustrating after a while.

For example: (on stock rom)

Original (2053)

Then I updated the app (1773)

Then 12 minutes later (1813)

Obviously many factors are involved but as Foladko and Baste07 suggest - I wouldn't pay too much attention. It's not as cut and dry as for example overclocking a desktop PC.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2IEAILiiTY:
i posted this here cause no one answers my Q&A posts, but here's the story - i was running CM7 on my phone and i was having problems with my phone and decided to restore to stock and unroot via PD15IMG.zip, but i didnt know how to undo gfree cause grankin's instructions are all over the place. so the PD15IMG.zip did it's thing but it says update failed and reboot. so i reboot and the phone goes to the android recovery, not the CWM recovery. what do i do to get back on track, cause its not bricked if i can go to the bootloader and recovery, right? im stuck
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
This may or may not be the issue, but what recovery version are you running?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2IEAILiiTY:
well, it WAS CWM 3.0.0.6 but now it's the stock android recovery, i think i might try installin CWM by adb since s is still off...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
You can use ADB or even fastboot if you have the engineering SPL. Once you have a good recovery installed, it's just a matter of wiping everything and flashing a stable ROM. If CM7 didn't work well for you but you want Gingerbread and the plain Android look, try RoyalGinger.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2IEAILiiTY:
i decided to reroot cause all roms i installed, even after clean wipes, would lag and be unresponsive at times. and what's SPL? i'm kinda new to the android game, but iphones and ipods are a different story...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
The SPL is often referred to as "hboot" or "bootloader". It sounds like you're having enough trouble as it is, so I wouldn't worry about that. If you still have S-OFF, then you're still rooted. I honestly don't think that un-rooting and the re-rooting will solve your problems. It's possible your previous recovery was corrupt, that's why everything you flashed was slow (although apps and setups can also cause that). I would flash CWM 3.0.0.6 via ADB and then try another ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
Or too much of a load for the CPU settings if he has it Under or over clocked... or a bad kernel (aka not one fauxs ;D )
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2IEAILiiTY:
how do i get adb to work in bootloader? cause it obviously wont in the android recovery
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2IEAILiiTY:
i've used faux's and grankin's...it's still bad
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2IEAILiiTY:
just kidding, i figured it out...

but when i try to use the method on unlockr.com (not sure if everyone does it this way) i cant navigate to adb via the command terminal
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
See here for instructions on setting up ADB. You can't use ADB while in your bootloader, that's what fastboot is for. ADB is done with the phone fully booted.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2IEAILiiTY:
alright, the problem right now is, i've figured out how to use usb on my f***ed up phone, but the drivers won't install, and adb is still being a pain in the arse.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
That doesn't tell me much. Do you get an error when running "htcdrivers.exe" during the setup procedure?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2IEAILiiTY:
lol, just kidding. i didn't see your post til i said that. alright, so do i type fastboot devices or whatever from the command menu and then install CWM?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
It is that simple, but only if you have the engineering SPL/hboot/bootloader. Towards the bottom of this post is instructions for flashing that.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2IEAILiiTY:
yea...i didn't take the risk of flashing that when i rooted my phone...will i still be able to flash this recovery img?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Yes, in fact fastboot is the safest way to flash things like recoveries. Once the SPL is installed, boot the phone normally, connect ADB, enter "reboot bootloader", once the phone has booted into the SPL enter "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and press enter. Just remember to have the IMG file in the ADB folder of your computer.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2IEAILiiTY:
so, in order to complete this, do i need the engineering hboot?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Only to do it via fastboot (the safest way). You can also do it from the terminal emulator while the phone is booted normally.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2IEAILiiTY:
my phone is still stuck in the boots and recoveries is the problem. i don't have the engineering hboot and when i try to flash the recovery.img it says writing recovery...failed
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Let me get this straight. You can't boot into your ROM, your recovery image isn't working, and you have the stock bootloader?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
it'll obviously work if i have an engineering hboot, is there a way to change my hboot through fastboot?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
yea, no rom, can't fastboot the clockwork recovery and my bootloader and recovery is stock. is there a way to change my s= to on by gfree and then use PD15IMG.zip to restore? or is there a way to change my hboot from this state to engineering? i just got this phone a couple months ago...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Sorry, but as far as I can tell, that's what is often called a "soft brick". Without a working recovery image or the ability to use fastboot, I don't know where to tell you to go from here. I'm sure someone else can help.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
i can use fastboot, i just want to know is it possible to change my hboot by fastboot or change my s= to on by fastboot?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
You're not understanding me. You cannot use fastboot with the stock bootloader! You must have the engineering bootloader to use it. The fastboot I'm talking about is completely different than the "fastboot" option in the stock ROM's settings menu.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
you're talking about fastboot in the menu when you hold down volume and power, right?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
That just gets you into the bootloader, which you said is stock. With the engineering bootloader, you could use fastboot to flash your recovery, but since your's is stock, you can't.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
so there's no way to reverse the gfree either root either?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
In your situation, since you can't boot into the ROM, you don't have a working recovery, and you don't have the engineering SPL, no. I'm sorry, but I've gone as far as I can with this. I'm repeating myself over and over. From where I sit, I see no way out of this situation. I suggest you start researching, or maybe someone will see this that has an idea.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
what about this idea, in the stock android recovery menu, there's an install from update.zip option, could i like flash a stock rom through that option or no?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
To my knowledge, the stock recovery has no such option. Does it say "ClockworkMod" anywhere on that screen?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
no, but this is what it says "android system recovery <3e>"

then one of the options says apply sdcard:update.zip
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I don't know what you're able to do there. You can try flashing whatever you want. You can keep root by flashing a ROM like CM7. Then once you can boot into a ROM, you can flash a custom recovery and your problem will be solved.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
i'll try it, but i'm skeptical about it...this sucks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I just remembered that the stock recovery can only flash signed images (I think), so in that case your only option would be to flash the stock ROM. At least try a custom ROM first though.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
Sounds like you need the part7backup file in order for the pd5img.zip to work
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
i have it but i don't know how to undo gfree from where i'm stuck
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
i don't know where to get the original signed stock rom

Here is the little bit modified version of bootanimation from system dump of Xperia Play.

This boot animation has been modified to run in loop and give better effect on DHD as I didn't like the one which came from dump... :)

As usual try at your on risk I am not responsible for anything....

Use root explorer to copy the bootanimation file into /system/media, or use adb to pust the file....reboot and enjoy...

Also attached is the splash screen matching to bootanimation.

Unzip the splash and copy the splash img to same folder as fastboot. connect the phone in fast boot mode and run "fastboot flash splash1 splash.img" to use the new splash screen.

Hi All

I very rarely post much on these forums but am hoping for anyone reading this if you can help a little in the following:

As some may know the Hillsborough Anniversary is again fast approaching, on April 15th 1989 96 Liverpool Fans tragically lost their lives that day and after a long & frustrating 22 years the families of those lost are still fighting for the justice that they and the 96 lost deserve, for more information regarding this please follow this link: Welcome to The Hillsborough Justice Campaign

Shortly following the disaster The Sun, one of the biggest selling tabloid newspapers in the UK printed many lies about that tragic day, putting the blame squarely on Liverpool fans and their supposed atrocious behavior, of course all those were sick, vile lies and since that day, Liverpool fans & Liverpudlians including the Everton fanbase have seeked to Boycott that vile newspaper whom still have yet to make any form of sincere apology.

If I can ask for one simple favour; Stephen Smith is a very talented music artist who recently released his album 'Next Train to Nowhere' on the album contains the song 'Liar, Liar' of which he has just released Monday gone (April 4th) in attempt to get it into the charts for the week leading upto the Hillsborough Disaster & there's also been a campaign by fellow Liverpool fans to help get the song into the charts and to raise awareness of not only the lies told by The Sun but to maybe even bring that deserved justice to those family members that one step closer to reality.

We ask that for just a paltry sum of 0.79p to download the song of which as mentioned above can really help bring awareness of the tragedy and what befalled it to a much wider audience and push that fight for justice one step closer to completion.

Not only will you be massively helping families who are still grieving to this day as they still have yet to receive the closure their loved ones deserved but the song in itself is worth purchasing alone written & performed by an exepetionally talented musician.

All proceeds from Liar Liar will be donated to the Hillsborough Family Support Group, Hope for Hillsborough and the Hillsborough Justice Campaign.

Here are the download links:

On that sad day, my grandfather, auntie, two uncles and my uncles friend went to watch their team play a game. Only four returned home again.

The events of that day are widely reported and I've never heard them speak of their ordeal.

One of my earliest memories of my uncle was him on crutches for so long afterwards.

[Omnia 7 General] Ogner:
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i8700.htm

Just installed the 4 files from 2010 November CSC_Cetus_Europe_I8700XENJK1

This is the Dutch i8700 Omnia 7 files. Phone is unbricked. Wondered if the first one CSC_I8700DTMJJ6 was for UK.

This what I put on my email to expansys.com:

Product is 100% faulty. WP7 constantly crashes, reboots, apps fail to install , load etc. Updated WP7 via Zune to Nodo. Then free apps would install but paid apps won’t. At one pont Zune (PC software) wouldn’t connect to Omnia 7 Tried soft resets, hard resets, system recovery from Zune. Then Phone bricked. Managed to unbrick using:

http://www.winrumors.com/got-a-bricked-samsung-omnia-7-windows-phone-heres-the-fix/

Still very very unstable and unusable. The ambient light sensor doesn’t work automatically. Outlook crashes all the times, Marketplace often doesn’t load up. EU Wonpro adaptor plug is faulty. Phone was set up in Deutsche with T-Mobile DE, Vodafone DE and E-Plus De settings. German booklet etc.

I have spent 9 hours dealing with this nightmare. I would like a full refund please

I will never touch Samsung again. They were the only company that wrote firmware which caused Windows Phones to brick during the initial February 2011 update to the WP7 updater.
[Omnia 7 General] Sab8th:
I believe the issue lies with MS rather than Samsung. Yes, Samsung wrote the firmware, but MS wrote the software and dictated the update method.

There weren't many Samsung phones effected (proportionally) in the scheme of things. In your event the carrier who transmitted the data, or the manufacturer (Samsung) ought to be held to account and supply you with a new phone.

You have my sympathies (not that they hold much currency). I've had no problems with my O7, and have nodo'd it using the cut off network mthod.
[Omnia 7 General] Ogner:
Thanks matey. I ordered the 16GB EU from eXpansys on Tuesday and it turned up yesterday at about 2.00pm. I had the HTC HD7 from launch day until I sold it in January. My only phone is an overclocked Palm Pre and I gave away an unbranded HTC Desire to my dear old mum.

These are the things I liked about the Omnia 7:

1. Cool looking with gorilla glass front and aluminium back door.

2. 16GB of NAND storage.

3. Super AMOLED display. My dad has the Galaxy S.

4. The price looked good. £329.99 sim free (unbranded).

I think I just got a lemon. The HD7 was flawless (apart from the well known Marketplace sometimes crashes when loading bug). Anyway there's nothing wrong with my Pre. I'm returning the Omnia 7 for a refund.
[Omnia 7 General] TheAperture:
From your OP, it looks as though you've told the vendor that you've installed a firmware that wasn't deployed by the normal update mechanism.

I suspect in doing so, you've violated your warranty which may well hamper your attempt to get a full refund.
[Omnia 7 General] Ogner:
I don't think so. I updated 7004 to the February 2011 update via Zune. I then updated 7008 to 7390 NoDo. I was still getting constant instability I then attempted (after many soft resets and hard restore) to do a full recovery via Zune. The Phone froze halfway through the process.

The Phone had the put USB cable on the screen. I attempted to run system recovery but it wouldn't work.

I then put the Phone in download mode and installed a 7004 from samfirmware.com. I tested it. The Phone boots up but is still ultra unstable. It is a Lemon (that means a DOA or faulty product). I am entitled to a full refund. The company is UK based and listed on London Stock Exchange. I got in touch with them later a few hours after I received the Phone.

If anything eXpansys and Samsung owe me not just a full refund but the cost of 9 hours of my time trying to fix this handset. The phone was faulty out of the box. I tried everything to fix the software side of the phone. I suspect there is a hardware problem. Maybe loose soldering on the circuit board or the NAND chip. Who knows. I'm not opening the case. It's not my problem. I'm back on my Palm Pre.

Hey,

I've uploaded this nice looking Digital Clock Widget from the Xperia Arc for you guys.

Grab the Widget here.

It's tested on WolfBreak his CyanogenMod 6.1.3 v06. (I'm a tester of his ROM)

It should work ony every 2.2 ROM.

Just report me if it works on your ROM and I will put it here in the start post.

To install it just open the .apk file with a file manager such like Astro File Manager.

Succes & Regards,
