[Xperia Arc General] sennyqtek:
When did you update?

I also want to update and I read on the sony ericsson fb site that it is available though on my phone it self, PC Companion or SE Update Service it keeps telling me I have the most recent firmware..
[Xperia Arc General] kristofke:
Yesterday, I connected my phone to the Pc companion for transfering some files and I was prompted by the program to update the software.

But I had a similar issue like yours with my previous SE phone (the satio); everybody was able to update except for me. But when I reinstalled the Pc companion a day later it worked, maybe it helps for you...
[Xperia Arc General] tomo100brt:
Why didn't you try SEUS?
[Xperia Arc General] kristofke:
Same problem, it displayed the message that there was no update available. Only when I reinstalled the pc compagnion the update for my Satio worked. The reason behind this is something that still puzzles me :p

That's why I was so surprised to see that when I connected my Arc to the companion an update prompt popped up immediately :D
[Xperia Arc General] sennyqtek:
I reinstalled a half an hour ago... Will try update tomorrow... Hope it works. Thanks for the advice!
[Xperia Arc General] sennyqtek:
I reinstalled pc companion but still no luck...

I contacted the SE facebook site and they told me to mail the SI number... Does anyone know why they would need this number? Could it be that my phone blocks the update?
[Xperia Arc General] sennyqtek:
I still wasn't able to update to 2.3.3. Contacted SE and they told me I will have to go to a service point of SE and they will update it for me... So what could I be doing wrong? I tried SEUS, PC Companion and OTA. I had to give them my SI number but still I have to go to a service point. Anybody else had the same experience?
[Xperia Arc General] gunawan-1:
Yes. I am really with batt performance after update to android 2.3.3. Now my arc last for more than 1 day. Usually it last less than 20 hours according to my usually use. Thanks to android 2.3.3.

I saw there are a lot of questions (and various answers) about how to upgrade to Gingerbread using kies in UK, France, etc.... while Kies is not showing us the pop-up to upgrade yet.

The Spooffw application of LuffarJoh allows us to do it anyway but it is a bit tricky.

So for newbies or for the ones who do not want to search during hours before getting the complete steps to follow, here is a link summerizing everything (including rooting the Android 2.3) in a complete How-To: How-to update your Androphone to 2.3 Gingerbread with Kies

Hope it will help many people.

Have a nice day.

I'm fast from a noob, but I never actually understood the reason for EXT4. Could someone explain?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
Well I'm just going to come out and say this... it's faster then ext3. :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
yea u definitly will notice ext4 based kernels are alot faster
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RANDYRKELLY:
Mmmm ok ok. But what's the difference? I can just load trinity Froyo kernel and it will bee EXT4? Cause I know that the stock its EXT 3

Crack powered G2X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
yes if u load the ext4 kernel it will convert to ext4, and be much faster:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RANDYRKELLY:
Going to give it a try. nandroid then install!

Nividia powered G2X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
I read before that you must backup an ext3 kernel to restore to.

And that every time you flash a new rom, you must first restore the ext3 kernel.

Is this still true? I read on the latest CWM patch notes and it says that you can flash between ext3 and ext4 and ext4 and ext3. Does this mean that there is no longer a need to restore an ext3 backup?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
i tested this just to see i flashed an ext4 kernel over my ext3 rom ran the rom for a little bit then i flashed an ext3 kernel back over and rebooted everything went fine , then from there i did a restore of a backup i had and it ran fine, then to go even further i flashed the ext4 kernel over ext3 and restored a backup and everything was fine idk whu people are having problems but to answer your question i always do as u posted just because ive always done it like that and never had problems, so yea bro i would just do as u posted:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RANDYRKELLY:
Well I loaded up trinity kernel ext4 over stock. And man what a difference. Used top only get 2730 on quadrant. Now I get 3865. Do even though quadrant its not as accurate its a noticeable difference

Alright, just made the jump to an ext4 kernel and wow this thing is speedy!

Does performance, and stability change with EXT4? like what I'm trying to say is does EXT4 cause more bugs r issues then EXT3? What kind of enhancement make it way better
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeanclaudevandamme:
I don't know how to clear notifications for my SGS2 and is there like a trick to forcibly wipe all notifications and make them stay wiped?

Cos basically:

1) t-mobile uk voicemail is chargeable, so i switched to hullomail

2) t-mobile uk then sent me a voicemail to apparently reset up the voicemail with them. **** that, waste of my 10p to dial the notification.

3) I want something to wipe notifications next time t-mobile pulls this dirty little trick.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ted A:
I now can upgrade my DROID X to a newer phone.

Is the Verizon Droid Charge worthy as a replacement to Droid X? I keep reading about some of the growing pain on rooting the VDC, which I can understand. Beyond that, despite a better screen, is VDC's hardware close enough in term of its performance specifically on these three major criteria, i.e. GPS antenna, battery life and responsiveness, when you compare it with DX? Or, will I suffer from it due to the noticeable difference in poorer performance of those things? Discuss.

Note that my only reason to even pick VDC is for the 4G speed as I'm quite happy with DX hardware.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
You and I are in the same boat. Although I don't have a Charge in my possession, I have decided to get it as an upgrade to my X, and here is why.

I initially got the Xperia Play as an upgrade, and had it for a day, and got rid of it because I didn't like many aspects of it.

That got me looking at an alternative upgrade, so I looked at all the 4g phones. Knowing data tiering is right around the corner, I feel this was a good move on my part. Anyway, after playing with the thunderbolt, Charge, and Revolution, I felt none of the phones were perfect for me, but the Charge was the best. I also feel it is an upgrade over my DX running team black hats Gingerbread.

The camera isn't quite as good as the Thunderbolt. The colors are... off, but resolution is better than the X by a little.

Game speed is faster. While I was at the vzw store looking at the phones, I downloaded Dungeon Defenders and played Deeper Well on insane. Faster than the Droid X by far, and what a wonderful screen!!! Not to freaking mention I was able to download the entire game over 4G faster than I could at home with Comcast/wifi. (20min) That's a freaking bonus right there buddy!

I think it will be a nice upgrade, but I wont know for a week, so ask me again then. ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
Its alot better. The possessor is an a new hummingbird so it handles battery better. The screen is super amoled plus. Once you install the lagfix its fast. And finally 4g is 4g
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
If you can go without an upgrade, then I say stick it out for the next best phone. If you need an upgrade but don't necessarily need 4G LTE, go Droid X2, imo. Beast of a phone. I just don't like how it's sans 4G LTE.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ShotgunSam:
I upgraded from the DX to the DC primarily because I wanted to be grandfathered in to unlimited 4G when they make the change. I chose the DC over the Tbolt because of the battery life and the battery life to me does seem better than my DX.

from a performance stand point, I would not have upgraded just for the hardware originally. I might have waited it out for the Bionic BUT that being said, there is a noticeable difference in the performance of the 2 phones and I for one like the feel of the charge as opposed to the feel of the X.

Though the dev community is just now starting out, I find ROM flashing and such to be so much easier on the Charge, primarily because you don't have to deal with the bootstrapper and all that mess.

Overall, i'd say your decision has to come down to priorities, my priority was 4G unlimited (assuming that VZW will grandfather people in). If you want straight up hardware and performance, possibly hold out to the Bionic or go with the DX2 (I would've have gone with it except I couldn't see the point in getting a new phone that couldn't do 4G). Better battery life IMO go with the DC.

I am extremely happy with with all aspects of the DC over my X.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] saddog5523:
I'm totally new to anything that has to do with hacking or rooting or anything like that. So feel free to throw the 'noob' term around a bit. :D I have a Motorola Droid 1 that's running 2.2.2 and has a build number FRG83G. I would love to root it, but am not really sure on how to do it safely and securely. In a way it scares me, but I want to do it nonetheless. Could someone point me in the general direction of a step by step guide that I can follow that has had positive results? Also, when I root my phone, does it keep the phone number and contacts and everything that is on there right now? Or is that something I will need to back-up somehow? I'm guessing you do a full back-up before you begin the process which I believe is called a 'nandroid', but please correct me if I'm wrong. I would like to learn this inside and out.

Thanks!

Adam
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dand930:
I am in a very similar situation as you, with a couple mess ups by using Superoneclick (total noob). I also feel like my back up did not work, as I can't find a way to flash the stock ROM again. I might start from scratch with a system reboot, so it's no big deal. I would just like to:

1. root safely

2. flash a ROM that would allow me to over/underclock and freeze annoying apps (tethering would be nice too)

3. if i must, flash a kernel that will allow me to do #2.

I am only posting because someone has a similar question as me :D

Thank you!

Thats how I rooted mine. The whole process is actually not even as long as the video. Read the description, download the files and the programs needed and follow the simple directions.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
Or you cAn use z4root. It is too easy to use. Btw its an app you run on ur phone so no recovery and stuff
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] splashattack:
on 2.2.2? it didnt work for me all the times i tried it on the latest firmware. it just closed out of z4 and returned me to my homescreen, without root
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] saddog5523:
Well I finally decided to root yesterday. It was surprisingly easy. I used superoneclick that I found on here for my phone, and hit the root button and all it took was like 2 minutes. :) I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this phone now. I have the CPU ondemand from 250MHz - 700MHz and it's pretty quick. But last night I might have gone a little too far on my first day... I installed CyanogenMod-7.0.3-Droid to my phone using ROM Manager. I did a backup and everything so I can go back if I want, but it seems to have deleted all of my apps that I had on my phone, even Android Market. :confused: Does anyone know if this ROM even supports Market apps? I downloaded a Market apk off of Droid Forums and installed it on my phone, but everytime I try to open it, it immediately closes. So that leaves me thinking that this ROM is strictly for non-market apps. Also, if anyone can answer this question for me. Under Wireless & network settings --> Mobile networks, it has 'National data roaming' which says that 'This will allow you to use a different network provider in your country.'. And under 'System select' the options are: Home only, Affiliated Networks, and Automatic. Does this mean that if I check the box for 'National data roaming' and choose 'Affiliated Networks' that my phone will use other network towers to give me greater phone signal? I may be going the wrong way with this, but it sure is aggravating when you're driving down the road and lose all signal and look up and a cell phone tower is sitting a half mile from you. This would be absolutely amazing if this was true. I just haven't the time to go try it myself right now. So any help with these questions would be appreciated. :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
You probably need to flash Google Apps for Gingerbread to get your Market and whatnot. Also, uninstall the market you found on droidforums.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] saddog5523:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
If you love edge do it hehe
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pr0necr0:
If im not mistaken, the phones run on different bands and you wont get 3/4g. So like Rjan said, if you love Edge then by all means do the swap.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] silver258:
Are you guys sure about the edge thing and also spec wise which is better
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tankmorph:
Absolutely. If you unlock both phones and swap, neither of you will get more than EDGE data speeds. Good luck with that.

The LG G2x is garbage, by the way. I know from experience.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] silver258:
ok im going to take your guys word for it because i am sure ou all have much more experience with this than I thank you all i guess here is where i say infuse for life lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
sometimes t-mo phones work on att but not the other way around. you have to check the bands for each and the bands that carriers use. t-mo uses some unique bands. sometimes you can use a canadiain modem.bin to get something wirking on att. sometimes the antennas are tuned and you cant force the radio into an att band.

so although you will have talk and edge, it is hard to say you would be able to use 3g and hspa/+ even after mods to the phone.

as far as what specs better, well the g2x has been known to have color bleed issues on the screen. if the screen is important to you the infuse specs better in that area by far. the g2x specs better in the processor and has 1080p video capture. infuse has support for more codecs.

other than that you just have to see the real word performance. the infuse has great audio hardware. but there is no ability to change recoding level presets(waiting for voodoo sound to be released for the infuse). i have no idea what audio is like on the lg. also im not sure about lg but samsungs usually take great photo's in low light conditions.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dsmwookie:
So the Infuse will not receive 3g on T-mo's network? Or was it just the LG that would suffer?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
i do not believe the infuse will have 3g/4g on t-mo. i am uncertain about the g2x because i have heard that the vibrant works on att.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
This has been answered. You cannot connect USB on Sata port and sata port to usb.

Att and T-Mobile have different frequency band on 3g.
