I clicked never as the only time i had a issue with bsod was when i restored my stock from nandroid, i was only getting bsod once a week so since then i am on madaco rom and runs fine :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] noobletsausecakebbq:
Well I was at work today and was trying to slack some time on my nice phone browsing the web and whatnot but the thing kept freezing and randomly loosing all signal. Sometimes it would freeze and be.completely unresponsive only solution to which was to pop out the bat, but.sometimes it would unfreeze and all signal would be lost until I rebooted it several times. Sometimes just the signal would get lost. Also the battery would jump from 40% to 3% and then back to 40%. I SAID NUFF IS NUFF.

I just installed stock stock froyo it came with out of the box and so far I love it. Thing is like a quad core PC running XP. The menu scrolls soooo nicely and smoothly, unlike what I had seen in GB where the menu scrolling was somewhat choppy. I will use this for some time to determine if I got a good working unit (I know I did, I always do %)

I will let everyone know in a few days.
[LG Optimus 2x] mike-o2:
I have mine since the 1st of April and am running the stock ROM since then.

I have used the MoDaCo Performance patch but then updated the Software via LG Upgrade and did not apply the Performance Patch again.

I have had no random reboots.
[LG Optimus 2x] noobletsausecakebbq:
So far so good.

I think cm7 is to blame here.

Battery life seems to have improved a bit as well.

Update: confirmed that cm7 nightly was effing up my fon.
[LG Optimus 2x] weebeast:
Good too hear that your phone works fine now. I tried CM7 and modaco but returned too stock again. It's the best for me at moment:D
[LG Optimus 2x] gp2mv3:
For me the BSOD happens when the phone is in standbye.

On the lg's Website I saw there is an update on the mobile support tools. Does it fix the issues ?

Currently the servers are in maintenance...

Hi

My wife owns an x10I. It's rooted but I want to flash a stable fully working custom ROM, preferred miui.

Current fw is 2. 1-update 1

Baseband version 2. 0. 46

Kernel 2, 6. 29 semcuser @semchost #1

Build number 2. 0. A. 0. 504

Can anyone describe me an easy and safe way to do it?

Any way to backup the current official firmware?

Any stable miui for x 10yet or you would suggest another Rom?
[XPERIA X10 General] rtblittlebrown:
Uggg well the x 10 is practically. Un breakble but you can back that up with recovery (installable. Through flash tool)

Trip miui is pretty stablemediafire.com/?czhu43rb44n0et0
[XPERIA X10 General] aelole:
Thanx m8

Unfortunely no Windows computers at home so I must use a friends one. Is it necessary to upgrade baseband?
[XPERIA X10 General] rtblittlebrown:
It's for bb52 and 49

Um... I think bb46 will work pretty positive
[XPERIA X10 General] aelole:
Thanx again. Will try it tomorrow and report. Hope that my wife will like the change:)
[XPERIA X10 General] aelole:
how do i update baseband?

also can i install xrecovery straigh on xperia?
[HD2 General] gmatriix:
Hello All,

2 questions

(1) I have Android running on my HD2 and I absolutely love the speech to text on the keyboard. I'm not a big text-er but my friends and family are. Is there a way to get that same thing on WM? (maybe some modified rom or something)?

I don't know...this is so helpful...I don't know why WM does not have it. I tried and look at programs like Vlingo (suck) Jott (suck) Tellme (suck) nothing works better that the android stuff. I don't mind using android for now but some of the functionality does not work like Bluetooth and other things.

Just trying to get by until the HTC Sensation comes out.

(2) Anyone know of a better phone coming out for T mobile?

Thanks

[T-Mobile LG G2x] hdxnickka:
Anyone experience this?

I'm playing pocket empires while the phone is plugged in and my battery is still discharging.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
Are you plugged into USB on your computer or AC?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
If you are using more power than what is going in, of course this will happen!

The AC adapter provides the most charge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
Duh you are using the device so of course it is going to discharge..........
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hdxnickka:
It is in the AC wall outlet
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
Before you launch the game, does the little battery icon in the taskbar show charging? Can you see the taskbar while running this game?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hdxnickka:
I can't see the notification bar while playing the game but I made sure that it was charging by turning off the screen and turning it back onto the lock screen which shows that it is charging.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Mine never discharges when playing Pocket Legends but it charges very slowly when using the stock charger which is normal. Now, when I am at work or something I have a AC charger I use that came with my Logitech Wireless Mouse that is obviously more powerful than the stock charger. It can charge my battery from 15% to 100% in about 30 minutes. My advice to you would be to buy a charger with a higher rating.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Are you using the charger that came with the phone or a third-party charger? If using the charger LG provided nothing you do on that phone should drain that battery while plugged in because it outputs 1000mA of power.

If you are using the LG charger you may have a faulty charger or a faulty battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBIGREDDx:
Could you install something like Battery Monitor Widget and check the current drain (mA) while you are playing the game?

(It is made by "3C06" and the free one is fine because I think the only difference in the paid one is no ads.)

EDIT: Also, the most I have managed to pull with my G2x is 756mA, but if you have the screen at a high brightness and are using the speaker, and if the game is using 100% of your CPU, it would probably be possible to use more than 1000mA.

EDIT2: Also, the Service Manual says "maximum charging current is set around 945mA."

So I think any usage above that number will drain your battery even when plugged in. But I am not certain.

Hi i just bought like 2 hours ago an xperia play, i used the gingerbreak app to root my device but after 30 minutes or so the phone turned off then i saw that i had the superuser app but when i tried to use the titanium thing it says im not rooted....i did it like 4 times and nothing, can anybody help me, bootloader locked and r800i model, tnx

UPDATE: I hitnk i found the problem, i had to install busybox from market and now works fine!!! tnx to me xD
[Xperia Play General] ace518:
I havn't been able to get gingerbreak to work. I've let gingerbreak run for upwards of 45 minutes. How long did it take for you to get it to root?
[Xperia Play General] dusanzk:
I had this problem, tried a different MicroSD card, started Gingerbreak, waited about 5 minutes, the phone rebooted and it was rooted.

Note: Some people are saying that using Gingerbreak wipes all the data off your MicroSD card (even though it didn't happen to me). Just a heads up.
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
plus you also need to have busybox installed for titanium backup to do anything:) and it doesnt wipe anything from the sd card either
[Xperia Play General] ace518:
First thing I do when I install TiBu is hit the problems? button and let it get busybox. I've tried 2 SD's so far.... Trying with a third one now. I just want root so I can move some games data (angry birds) over from my last android phone.
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
Try formatting the sd card in your computer then pop it back in and try gingerbreak again it took me like 4 or 5 times before it finally worked perfect
[Xperia Play General] galarond:
yeah well i had to root it like 5 times even my xplay was frozen twice and some other issues i though like twice thta my phone was bricked but well now is rooted had to pull battery a couple of times too. 1of my tries to root took more than 1hour, amazing

I don't have an SD card slot on my pc. are there any utilities for android (preferably gui driven in the market) for formatting an sd card on the phone?

Edit: Formatted it in CWM on my Captivate
[Xperia Play General] zaith1234:
So I am trying gingerbreak and I am now on to trying 2nd SD card. One thing I have noticed is that as soon as I press root it unmount's the SD card. Both SD's were formatted before trying.

I guess what I am asking is the unmount a normal thing that should happen when running the app? or should I put the formatted SD card in and not mount it?

Well then do not let me discourage you. Best of luck and all that. Also, try turning off/on wifi. I remember reading some posts saying it worked better with that off/on . Not sure why or how it would affect it, but definitely worth the shot.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Gingerbreak doesnt work with 2.3.3 so only use it for 2.3.2.

It does work but you will have to be very patient.

I left mine running and returned every hour, it took around 3 hours for mine to root.

Leave it overnight and it will work.

Dont forget to install busybox after rooting. You can do this from the titanium menu. (if memory serves me correctly)
[Xperia Play General] Gamzmaster:
i will try the wifi thing.... Thanks!

3 Hours? thats ALOT of time lol
[Xperia Play General] Gamzmaster:
Ok, dsswosh is right!! Its just about time!!! 55 mins and root is DONE!!! It may take alot of time but it defenitly WORKS!!! I repeat.... 55 MINUTES!!!
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Lol, it takes less time to actually unlock the BL's, download CM7 or kanzone's img and flash any of those than rooting with Gingerbreak.
[Xperia Play General] Gamzmaster:
But that voids the warranty, right?
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Yes it voids the warranty unlocking the bootloader, and if you try to to update your phone to 2.3.3 via the official Sony ways you will also brick your phone. It's not a "might" brick your phone, it's a "WILL" brick your phone.

I will say this and some people here might want to read this - 2.3.3 UN-ROOTED works better than 2.3.2 ROOTED. The phone is faster, the battery lasts longer. The only downside is you obviously cant remove your bloatware, and some Gameloft games do not seem to work on 2.3.3

For this reason i have left my phone UN-ROOTED and am using 2.3.3. I am very happy with the performance. Games are alot smoother than a rooted 2.3.2.

Keep that in mind.
[Xperia Play General] nickzero:
In not having any problems with speed. Your just limiting yourself. You need to turn on usb debugging from

Settings-Applications-Development-Usb Debugging

You dint need to plug in a usb cable at all.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
I disagree. Unrooted 2.3.3 has a lower battery life than 2.3.2 in my experience. In fact, in the Spanish forums I visit, there is a widespread agreement on that experience as well. And certainly, I don't root my phone mainly for speed: I do it because otherwise it's not my phone. Noone would accept to be sold a PC without administrative rights, so phones shouldn't be any different.
[Xperia Play General] Gamzmaster:
Well, if you root in 2.3.2 and update to 2.3.3 the phone wont brick, i did it myself, im on 2.3.3 with root!
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Because you didnt unlock your bootloader.

- Upgrading to 2.3.3 if you root 2.3.2 via Gingerbread will not brick your phone.

- Unlocking your bootloader, rooting 2.3.2 then updating to 2.3.3 will brick your phone.
[Xperia Play General] Gamzmaster:
Oh, ok!! Nice to know.

R800x with VERIZON

Please excuse this inexperienced question and bump..

I got my unlock code (generous thanks to you guys). I've tried to run gingerbreakv1.2 and left it as long as 30 min, and nothing seems to happen.

Someone mentioned that VERIZON doesn't work. I bought this xperia play R800x off EBAY. Seller is in U.S. and I'm in Canada. I quickly learned it doesn't work with my mobile provider (FIDO/ROGERS)

I'm trying to run the CMD code and with props to ashergray for the code + some pointers on the next step + some videos/tutorials I've been looking through, I get an " access is denied" when I type;

"C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot.exe"

I hacked my 1st and 2nd generation RAZR (v3 and v3i) pretty easily (mind you that was some time ago)...but this guy is proving to be a challenge.

Any feedback is appreciated! Thank you in advance.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
If your using windows vista/7. You can open the sdk\tools folder in windows explorer. Hold shift and right click on a blank part of the window, you will see and option in the contex menu that says "open command windows here". Click on that ;)

I got to a window in CMD with LOTS of options. This is a lil new to me, so I`m not sure how to proceed.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
You have your bootloader unlock key right?

well type in the command prompt:

fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY

but replace the "key" part with your bootloader unlock key :)
[Xperia Play General] nina.gardener:
GREAT! One step closer...but now it says "waiting for device"

Here's where I may totally embarrass myself.

I learned I need to have the phone turned OFF then;

turn it on with the USB cable and holding the SEACH button.

I heard somewhere the power button at the top needs to be BLUE. Mine is GREEN.

(does that make any difference?)

While the phone is off (with the USB plugged in), when I press any button I get the battery+lightning bolt icon (charging?).

When I turn the phone ON, I get to the main screen and turn on USB mode but that only accesses the SD card.

EDIT: I shut it down (CMD) to try som'n, and now when I try to get back to fastboot.exe it says it's not a win32 application. This is a very humbling experience.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bheckel:
I have found by browsing many people saying that the new Android software 2.2 (I have a new Android phone and have version 2.2.2) is unrootable. I am wondering if this means that this software will never be rootable or if this means that the rooting software is just not available yet. Can I look forward to rooting this phone in the future without buying the S-OFF hardware?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] samnir:
Hell nor heaven has any help for you, use the search tool please, froyo or 2.2 has been rootable for a long time and is by no means the latest. The latest ones are Gingerbread for android phones 2.3 or Honeycomb for Tablets. 3.0. Rooting is also device sepecific not release specific.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bheckel:
no root option on aria

Of course I searched for root options, but it seems that there are few root options for some models, including the HTC Aria that I have. The latest posts on the Aria forum suggest that the new 2.2. update is still not rootable. But perhaps I am not using the optimal keywords for my search? If you have any constructive suggestions for how to search the forums, I would appreciate it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Theonew:
That only applies to the HTC Aria. Since of the android 2.2.2 update for it, there was an update of the bootloader in that update. The bootloader is locked causing it to be not yet rootable until now. You may expect to see it rootable in the future, but not yet.

P.S. - When you see anything like that said, it is only being said for the device that forum is about (Not in General terms).

ALL

versions of android are rootable so far... but just not necessarily on all devices e.g. HTC Aria... so far.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gusar321:
A locked bootloader and being able to root the phone are two different things. A locked bootloader limits what sort of system you can start. Root is about privileges in the actual system once it has started. The "root" account is equivalent to the Windows "Administrator" account - you can do whatever, whereas normal accounts can't.

As an example, the Motorola Defy has a locked bootloader, so you can start only Motorola-provided kernels. But rooting the Defy is not a problem. As to what rooting actually brings you, well, certain apps require root privileges and will not work without them.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Hi!

The annoying sounds of my internal/external SD mounting/unmounting whenever I rebooted or changed my usb settings were driving me crazy and I ran across this line in my build.prop

It was set to 1 so I changed the value to 0 and rebooted. The sweet sound of silence!

Find this string in your build.prop and change it to 0, or manually add the string if it isn't there:

persist.service.mount.playsnd=0

Then reboot and enjoy the silence!

For those who don't know, build.prop is located in the /system folder and can be easily edited with Root Explorer. Root Explorer will also automatically back up your original build.prop

*EDIT* NFHimself also let me know you should be able to enter "setprop persist.service.mount.playsnd 0" from adb or in android terminal to add the value. You will have to su first to have root access. Thanks for the info!

I am not sure what added it to mine to be honest. It was either Greyblur or the Cool Blue theme (which I think contains files from Gladiatrix).

[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

One thing about the persist properties is that they persist through reboots. So, all you need to do is a "setprop persist.service.mount.playsnd 0" from adb or a android terminal and you are ready to go. No need to edit prop files.

Works fine, good job finding it. :)

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Just to clarify:

GladiAtrix was originally the only place that contained this, so if you don't have that or any of the mods that came after it installed, the line won't be in your build.prop. You can add it anywhere you like, it doesn't really matter as long as it's on it's own line.

Also, thanks for making a separate thread about this, but could you throw credit for finding it up? Thanks!

edit:

Need to assume root first, I do believe. If it does work without, disregard!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
