Not possible for developers :) When developing an app, the handset will be 'always on', charging, and being used for 8hrs+ all at the same time!

Addictive Japanese quasi-RPG games are a separate matter though.. ;)

Pocket legends is a killer. On it for five min n phone got really really hot. Checked temp n it was 44 degrees... Not good
[Galaxy S II General] thawizard:
i'm getting worried after reading here. last time i used with google navigation and charging same time, battery heat went over 50°c and it was really hot..

and that was just for one hour google navigation. :(
[Galaxy S II General] gfgodoy:
This may have happened to me. I had a Nexus S, got into navigation, while car charging... Made a stop, and when I turned my car on I noticed my nexus was DEAD :( Bad news is nobody could fix it.

Got a SGS2 about a month a go.

Wont EVER use that car charger anymore, and wont use the cellphone while charging unless it is a must.
[Galaxy S II General] FredericGervais:
I had the same problem after like 5 charging.

I then made it charge with a battery (for traveling)

the problem was gone after that
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Had happened to me to the first day i used the device. dint kill the device, but the battery used to discharge even when i had plugged it to computer usb. the device was hot too. i tried switching off the device and let it charge up. it did get charged. then i switched on the device (while the device still plugged in to usb) the the device stared and still went on discharging on charging. there were no applications running though. so later i just went to task manager and tapped clear memory the RAM tab. that solved it. the device stopped discharging. Had kept the display brightness to 100% the first day :-P Now its 10 to 20%

Got so much worried when the battery used to discharge while charging! thought i had a defective piece lol.
[Galaxy S II General] Shadey1:
Today mine started doing the unable to charge too hot or cold battery message, I nearly had a heart attack, I only just had the damn thing replaced due to water damage! (which I swear wasn't me as it's been kept in pristine condition!).

It was on charge via USB when it started saying that, from my car and about every minute it told me it wanted to go into KIES and disable the bluetooth like the charge was resetting over and over. Got home and started to charge via my pc usb and it's fine. Fingers crossed it does the same on the mains charger.

im running mikg 1.03 rom. just installed paypal app and i login, then it keeps asking for superuser permissions, then crashes the app.

why would it ask for that? anyone else have that issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
PayPal asking for root? Hmm that sounds fishy and very weird. I'm using the app on my phone and always have been and its never asked for superuser access. Im running cm7 but it works the same on my rooted gb ota backup also.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
Some app's check for root and don't allow certain features to avoid any security issues. Like the blockbuster app in the market. It will ask for root and give you an error message that if your phone is rooted, you can't watch DRM protected titles.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Did you download the official PayPal app? If it's a different one, you may want to uninstall it.

PayPal doesn't need SU permissions for anything, so I'd definitely deny it access. If it's not the official app, I'd uninstall it then change your PayPal password. Sounds super fishy to me.

(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonefixdfw:
i think i did. it says paypal, company says paypal mobile and it has 250k + downloads.

i did deny the SU though of course.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Be careful man you could get your bank account info stolen if an app gains root permissions; especially an app like PayPal lol.

If you deny these programs SU access, then they shouldn't detect that you're rooted and function normally, amiright?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
Nope, wrong actually.... it just doesn't give them SU permissions but they can still tell it's rooted.
[Xperia Play General] starbearer:
Here's my story:-

So I unlocked the bootloader and while rooting I bricked my play, so i got it back by installing flash tool and modding with UK generic.ftf file.

Now after using this firmware everything was fine until I clicked on software update(about phone-->softwareupdate) on mobile itself thru 3g.

So it downloaded a 51mb file and it was updating wen it swithed on, i thought thats normal but it didnt come back on for 30-40 mins and then i switched it on but nothing happened, so i took off the battery and restarted and nothing happened.

Now here's that I did and I know:-

Flashed almost 3-4 times with uk.ftf nothing....

opened the uk.ftf flashed only the loader.sin.....nothing...

flashed with the new firmware(I guess the US version with 2.3.3)....nothing...

.....My fone's start button is acting strange, wen i press that button for switching it on a green lite blinks and the fone vibrates and then again a green lite blinks but the fone wudnt start, you can keep pressing the start button on top but it wud do the same keep vibrating after every 3-4sec....nothing happens.

So I guess as I was using the UK.ftf and updated my fone here(I stay in India so obviously my fone would have had asain firmware and I was now using the uk firmware) so that mite have locked/dead/bricked my play....or is there any way out.....?

I took the fone to Sony service centre, :mad: they caught it with EMMA that this fone has a modified software and got puzzled, so i was trying to fool them until one of them called the head office and confirmed...:(

Any help is greatly appreciated.

----I know I can ask this somewhere else too on a diff thread----

but it dint allow me:confused:
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
You cant update the play via software update if you have unlocked the bootloader! It bricks the phone and as of now there is no fix, well, not that I know of!
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
There was a million warnings all over the place about this happening.
[Xperia Play General] starbearer:
So I know of the warnings, but just forgot that I updated my play with a diff firmware, anyways this wouldnt help.

But thanks to you both for the prompt response, how abou if im sending the play to sony service centre they would charge me money for it coz its outta warranty, but they would just upload it with the asain firmware, correct?

If that happens, il try to make an dump outta it so that others cud benefit...

or maybe an asia bootloader if I cud find 1, I guess by doing so I can still get the fone to switch thru loader and then flash another ftf, sounds crazy tho..dont know yet?
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
There is a fix to the point of restoring it without the phone part, which sounds like it is going to get fixed soon. keep your fingers crossed. for the fix look at the other bricked threads.
[Xperia Play General] starbearer:
Thanks for the info....hope so...but im selling off the play once its switched on lol

just bought myself samsung s2 galaxy...way fast..

Tho i had a dream for play, i finished it, sad tho for bricking it...

btw , can you point me to which thread are you referring to?

Thanks
[Xperia Play General] metcard:
Someone really needs to put a big fat warning at the top and bottom of those rooting/bootloader guides that doing an update after unlocking the bootloader will brick the phone.

and that's why when u bring it to the shop, ur legally an idiot who doesn't know what happened to the phone while saying..."wtf is bootloader and root? never heard..??."
[Xperia Play General] starbearer:
Dude idiotic wud be wen u dint know anything, anyways i was trying to fool that Sony cetre guy until he called the H.O...but never mind I will be going tomm to give the device to them, tho when enquired, he just gave a statment with a hint, they will lock the bootloader>repair it(s/f etc loading)>unlock it again...:eek:

So justifying!! yes, there is way to lock it again, we just dont know it how for now.

Il try bribing him:rolleyes: wont work but need my fone back asap.

Also, I dont now where I read or heard that if u cud change ur fone's IMEI number , one part of bootloader gets locked tho bcoz EMMA wont recognize that ....i dont know if thats possible lolz, but for the sake its illegal changing ur IMEI...I cud do that ( ireturned 2 dead on arrival plays before i got this 3rd one, mayb 3 was a bad number)
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I would stick to my story and say it died when you tried an update.

[Xoom General] docabe:
I apologize if this has been posted elsewhere.

I went online to my Verizon Wireless account today to change the data plan on my XOOM, and under the Data Plans page, I was given the option to upgrade my plan to a 4G plan.

The page informs me that I must upgrade my Xoom to 4G to do so, but it does allow me to select one of two 4G plans: 5GB for $50 or 10GB for $80.

This option was not there one week ago when I wanted to price out other data plans

Maybe the upgrade is coming soon.......?
[Xoom General] T0LLPHR33:
I read another post today where it had a link to an article stating that there was a XOOM owner that had received 4G Hardware Upgrade Email from Motorola stating that he should be receiving a box w/necessary packaging to mail the tablet back to Motorola to receive the necessary 4G Sim hardware and software update...myself and I'm sure majority of the XOOM owners have yet to receive this email but when I do I will be sure to post up...Furthermore in the article they say that the 4G upgrade is good timing since the other 4G LTE tablet is set to release on Wednesday...

here's that link I was referring to earlier - Moto XOOM 4G Upgrade

as far as the 4G data plan goes...I do know that you need the minimum 5GB data plan to use the 4G service...I opted for the 5GB instead of the 10GB...mostly cause if I ever need to go beyond the 5GB limit I'm definitely not paying $10 per GB over my amount but I can just tether to my phone since that's still grandfathered in my unlimited data plan...

If anyone likes docks for their devices (I don't) here is a good choise for the play. It also comes with 3 free gameloft games.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Logseman:
The dock is extremely expensive for its sparse functions and the game pronotion is going already without the need to buy anything. Great job, Sony.

Enviado desde mi R800i
[Xperia Play Accessories] gwaine:
I thought the same thing logseman...you still have to hook it up to a stereo so I don't really see too much of a point.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Red_Kop:
How much is it mate?
[Xperia Play Accessories] Logseman:
20 euro in Amazon.de, plus postage. It is stylish, but such a price is excessive.
[Xperia Play Accessories] svenk919:
You do get a charger with it. Still a bit expensive especially since it won't work when you use a case :(
[Xperia Play Accessories] bardiel13:
i would have bought it if it had an HDMI out
[Xperia Play Accessories] thomassafca:
I got the Multimedia Dock and I just love it :D
[Xperia Play Accessories] Laird_Attwood:
I'm tempted in the dock but there is no way on earth it's worth the money! cheapest i've seen it in the UK is £17.99 (from sites i've heard of)
[Xperia Play Accessories] digitalpirate:
It list eternal legacy but I don't see it in the store?
[Xperia Play Accessories] Miles Wolf:
No, when you connect the Xplay to the dock you can use the phone speakers if you want.

I have the dock and I use it for having the Xplay as alarm clock, really useful.
[Xperia Play Accessories] TehH4rRy:
I can see this being useful say if you're on a long journey and you can stick your phone in the dock and watch a movie or play a game (connect up a wiimote and you're sorted)

Tempted by this. Price however not so much
[Xperia Play Accessories] Novaglarion:
wiimote?

You know this phone has a built in gamepad right?:confused:
[Xperia Play Accessories] TehH4rRy:
Heh yes, but my N64oid doesn't let me map the touch pads. Can't play Orcarina of time without the C buttons ;)
[Xperia Play Accessories] svenk919:
For a lot of games it works to map some C buttons and use the touch screen for the less used c buttons. N64oid can display only the C buttons on the touch screen if you want (in the lower right corner even).
[Xperia Play Accessories] typikal82:
So that's about $30 US? Not bad considering the dock itself is $30 on Amazon in the US already. Guess I'll wait for this pack... it is coming to the States, right?
[Xperia Play Accessories] chokonen888:
Was like $60ish here in Japan but I love docks and happy I got this one. Works great as an alarm :)
[Xperia Play Accessories] J4r3dP:
How are you guys handling the analog for n64oid.... Us it possible to map it to our analog pads?

Sorry if it seems random I was trying to quote the above quote but I'm new to this app haha.
[Xperia Play Accessories] typikal82:
I just started using it right now. I mapped the Dpad controls to the Dpad, just left the analog on screen.

c buttons are CL-Vol Up, CU-Vol Down, CR-Triangle, CD-Square

Z button is Select. everything else is the usual.

If this thing had speakers, it would be on a delivery van heading here.

So i got my multimedia dock and just wondering what the audio options are via the dock settings....

I have my stereo connected to it and it is still not lettling me access those settings.
[Xperia Play Accessories] ryocoon:
I believe it just uses the headphone jack for audio passhtrough while in the dock, correct? If so, that option will be grayed out. Those options are in the OS based upon if it is a data pass-through that supplies the audio (like phones that their MicroUSB port is also an HDMI port).
[General Questions and Answers] noblerinthemind:
Sorry for the lame post but what the heck -

My deal:

Verizon (US), off contract.

Want to tether to my Nook(CM7) so it seems like 4G would be good.

If possible, want a battery that will last me at least a day,2 would be great.

boot-loader not locked - or work around.

Not completely obsolete in 2 years.

Considering Droid Charge v. changing carriers to Sprint and getting Epic 4g. Charge is 200 bucks which seems way too much but it has a good battery (supposedly).

I thought about the Incredible 2 but 1) Not 4G and 2) locked. Same with Droid X2.

Opinions/Advice mucho appreciado'ed!
[General Questions and Answers] k_nivesout:
Charge or thunderbolt are the only 2 that meet your requirements I think.

Edit: Also LG revolution.
[General Questions and Answers] rosshalz:
I hear thunderbolt does not disappoint!!! besides... it's from HTC and I've always been a fan of their build quality....
[General Questions and Answers] sunny143:
i had one

I second @rosshalz
[General Questions and Answers] noblerinthemind:
Thanks folks!

Well I just saw the specs on the HTC Evo 3d. Wow. Unlocked, dual 1.2ghz, 1730miAh battery. I actually see the 3d as a minus but with it's other specs I think I'm going to switch providers to Sprint, wait a couple of weeks and go for it.

Plus it's cheaper for me (with Sprint credits) than Verizon's offerings.

I can't see any downsides.

Hi all

I was wondering why battery usage graph says phone has been once and while "awake" though "screen on" says it has been off?

What does that awake graph tell you actually? That S2 has been doing something behind the scenes or what?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxysuperpad:
I have the EXACT same issue but have yet to find a solution (though, I am on the Nexus S 4G)! I think this is what is causing me unnecessary battery drain since I am assuming that the blue bars associated with Screen On and Awake should correspond almost exactly.

While I know this post has not been helpful to you, I just wanted to tell you that you aren't alone. Hopefully someone will help us out soon.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotemakerman:

[Captivate General] poolemit:
I installed serendipity 7, however, it looks like I'm affected by the suspend battery drain bug: code.google.com/p/android/issue/detail?id=11126 (aka 'Android OS' process uses high percentage of battery)

So back to 2.2 it is for me .. either cognition or serendipity 6.4. I assume I'll need to downgrade the bootloaders. Which version of Odin should I use and do I need to touch the filesystem at all?

thanks!
[Captivate General] bigbooty:
You can use Icezers safe method to go back to stock (search). This will let you keep the gb boot loaders and you can use the latest cog or serendipity 6.4, no problems. Or odin one click back to stock, but you lose the gb boot loaders.
[Captivate General] 88EVGAFTW:
I would just flash to stock ODIN then flash your 2.2 rom of choice. That's how I did it to go to gingerbread
[Captivate General] bames:
+1

just completed process myself
[Captivate General] Sarius24:
So are you saying that it would be unsafe to just flash back to 6.4? Cause I have VII and I was actually thinking of downgrading before but would that be dangerous?
[Captivate General] slapnutz:
One general rule across most ROM threads is to flash back to stock for a cleaner install. Probably not always necessary, but recommended. Using ODIN for JF6 only takes 5-10 minutes (on my machine anyway). I'd rather do that than the alternative, spend an hour or two trying to flash the right software to get it done.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
How many of these "How do I flash back from Y to X ROM?" threads do we need? There must be a couple dozen of them in here.:rolleyes:
[Captivate General] zelendel:
There are many threads that show you how to flash back to 2.2. No need for another thread.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
Hi All,

I have been thinking about this idea for a long time however now due to my job responsibilities might not be able to work myself hence posting what i have in mind and hopefully some developer can pick it and work on it.

We have Recovery and some PoC on recovery as boot loader what i propose is

1) Have recovery loaded everytime os is booting.

2) givea 5 sec boot timer if no key pressed during that time continue with normal operation

3) if key pressed then show a list of options

Boot base os

Boot custom ->/system/dualboot/system.ext2

Boot Recovery

Reboot

Shutdown

4) This list should be controlled by either scanning manually or using some sort of config file

5) if recovery selected actuall recovery operations could start.

NOTE: this work needs understanding of C programming hardware level.

if needed Z's thread contains the Xrecovery source for starter.

MoD : its development related concept for betterment for phone, i hope this is not wrong forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budco2000:
First week I got SGS2 it sent and received pictures messages right out of the box. I didn't have to mess with no APN settings. After a week, no matter what I do, I can't send no MMS messages. just says "message failed". If i take the sim card out of my SGS2 and put it in my HTC Inspire, or my Samsung captivate MMS works with no problems both ways (send & receive) Stick the SIM back in the Galaxy 2 and get the "sending failed" again. The APN settings on the SGS2 match the same APN settings as the captivate and Inspire.

I've re-flashed back to original firmware that came on Galaxy S2, I've also flashed the VILLIAN ROM, the Angelo-M ROM, and I'm currently back on the lightning ROM which is my favorite and still no damn MMS messages and I've tried like 4 different MMS APN's. Like i said above, the APN settings on the SGS2, match the APN settings on my inspire, captivate, and my girlfriends samsung infuse, and if i stick my SIM in any of the above mentioned devices, MMS goes right through. I can send and receive regular text, just no picture messages. My message center number is +13123149810 but that is just for regular texting and not MMS. My mobile data on the SGS2 is working as i get 8.8 down and 2.2 up, If anyone has anything to try I'm sure up for options.

When I do try to send an MMS, the H+ icon comes on and the arrows start to light up like its doing something, then fails. The only other mods i've done is added the following lines to the build prop, but they were there before and MMS still worked

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28

ro.ril.hsupa.category=9

ro.ril.hsxpa=3

Well I have fixed the problem. This is the only phone that i ever had to have my contact numbers start with a 1 then area code. I edited all my contacts and put 1 plus area code plus phone number, and it's working perfect now.
