[HTC Sensation] Robboftw:
Well the screen isn't designed to ever be pressed that hard. I can only replicate this is the middle of my screen, and I have to press uncomfortably hard for it to do it.
[HTC Sensation] WizardX:
But what about the loose fit of the back cover? You guys feel the same? HTC is going to pickup my phone tomorrow and hopefully they won't ignore my complaints.
[HTC Sensation] bjh2379:
yes I have the loose back cover too. Has like a gap when pressed? Trying to get a exchange from Walmart but no more in stock.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
I am waiting for mine to come in tomorrow, got it with overnight shipping from T-Mobile, but dickheads sent it out via UPS Ground, so tomorrow I should get it, I have the MT4G right now, and I only have dust in the front camera, nowhere in the screeen and I've been pressing everywhere and the screen seems solid on this one.

Ughhh, I really don't want to get a new phone and go through shipping in and out, if I get dust in the one I'm getting tomororw *knock on wood*
[HTC Sensation] WizardX:
Got it back today from HTC but they didn't find anything thats wrong. In my opinion it doesn't feel solid, like other HTC phones do. So I called HTC again and they are going to pick it up again. Hopefully they are going to recognize the problem otherwise this phone has been a waste of money.
[HTC Sensation] Robboftw:
The loose fit is just the design of the phone, it also moves a little bit to accomodate the expansion of the battery in future... apparently.
[HTC Sensation] Moschdog:
I have the same issue surrounding back cover. When typing, I can hear/feel a little movement.

While it really isn't a big deal, something about it is getting to me. I too, will be returning to walmart for replacement.
[HTC Sensation] bcpk:
That is untrue. The phone was not loose initially, only after some time of use and removing/replacing the battery cover a few times.
[HTC Sensation] btiend:
It happened on mine after about a week, so I returned it for another. Same problem again, only you only have to press a little bit more than usual to feel it; just going to stick a piece of paper under the battery to help it a little.
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
regarding the loose back cover, mine also just started getting a bit loose when pushing a bit harder than normal, is that normal for the sensation ?

I would love to upload other links but I will be away from my computer for few hours. If you guys can help out it would be great.:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kdeezy:
Pardon my ignorance but is this 2.3.3?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Yes, its 2.3.3
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kdeezy:
Rootable?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
I have not been able to root this one.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kbadone:
It will eventually get rooted.. I hope!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kdeezy:
Any glaring differences between this and the global generic?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kbadone:
Its 2.3.3 android + Facebook inside + other improvements in performance
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Except the extra apps inside which some people care to have them, there may be some tweaks for NA version but I am not really aware of them.

Compare to 181, this boots up in no time.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mobage:
So far I see one extra app, Google Books. (compare to global generic 145)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AdamUpNorth:

I think I'm getting a rooted version of this at this moment.

Still making sure, will post back in a bit to confirm.

My phone is simlocked to Rogers so no fastboot.

Edit: I can confirm I have 2.3.3 with root because I just installed busybox. =D

[Xperia Arc Android Development] kbadone:
How did you root it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mach1Chris:
Did you have Lt15a - North America Generic 3.0.A.2.181 installed first via flashtool (or stock) and rooted (with Gingerbreak or something) then got an OTA update to 3.0.1.A.0.145 aka 2.3.3 ? If so, that would retain root as per the other thread for root on 2.3.3 with a locked BL...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PhyzX:
I got LT15a Generic US 3.0.A.2.181 installed via some free software then rooted it and OTA update. I'm trying to see if someone is willing to flash their phone with all different firmwares to upload the flashtool version of the firmware for everyone.

But it seems like my thread for it got deleted.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
SO, you had the stock rom .181 installed from rogers, and then you got the OTA update?, or.... you flashed to a generic LT15a .181 rom, an then you did an OTA update?

Interesting if TL15a rom is getting the OTA update. That mean that you could root the .181 american rom, and then get the OTA to .145 and still have a rotted system.

I'll flash again this night, and see if I can get the OTA update.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PhyzX:
No I flashed the generic US .181 rom to get the OTA update. Does anyone know how to extract the firmware from the phone to upload as flashtool file (.tft)?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kbadone:
I believe member Nimche (2nd post) has a good knowledge about the process. He converted my files to .tft

What I did is I repaired the phone through SEUS and after it downloaded the two required files I copied them from this directory:

C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs

you should have there two files, one about 16 MB and the other around 130-160MB
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Problem is with repair you will lose root access. You may have to pull system which I am not good @. never tried it actually.

I was on Generic US 181 but OTA never popped...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AdamUpNorth:
Would someone mind posting the build.prop from the NA Rom (181 or 145. I'd like to compare with the global Rom. Thx.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] AdamUpNorth:
Hey Nimche. I thought I could extract the build.prop of the 181 or 145 using your posted ftf files and Flashtool but it doesn't look like I can. Do you have the build.prop from the NA generic from either handy? I want to see if it's different from the Global 145 (LT15i) rom I installed.

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] omegacell:
I flashed this ROM successfully but the phone says "Safe Mode" in the bottom left corner. How do I get out of this mode?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
crazy enough, I flashed my system with Jerpelea custom rom (CM7) and after went to 2.3.3 rooted lt15i. when you have open bootloader you have a better chance @ breaking your phone. I am going to stay on lt15i 2.3.3 since I am going to test out his CM7
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AdamUpNorth:
Nice! Fingers crossed for custom roms!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Found what you wanted - had it saved on my SD.

Cheers,
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AdamUpNorth:
Sweet corn! Thanks Nimche. I'm going to compare tonight and see if there's anything major.

-Sent from my Awesome Arc (LT15a v2.3.3 Global Generic)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AdamUpNorth:
Hmmm.... there was only one thing that seemed to be different. The US build.prop had this line....

ro.semc.enable.fast_dormancy=false

...but the World Generic didn't.

I did a quick search and saw that some folks had data problems on the rogers network when Apple introduce fast dormancy on the iPhone. Coincidentally, I had a weird issue on my phone today that matches what others were talking about (good signal but no data transfer). It went away so I thought it was a fluke Maybe it wasn't. I'm going to see if I have this issue again. May need to add this line to my build.prop and test if the issue happens again.

Does anyone have the Rogers build.prop handy to compare?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mobage:
That sucks. Fast Dormancy is good for saving battery life.

I would like to know this as well, I did a quick search and couldn't find anything relating to Rogers and fast dormancy.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Photobias:
Is it possible to convert an LT15i to a working LT15a with this method?

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mach1Chris:
I checked my build.prop on my rogers branded arc and it's set to true fyi....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AdamUpNorth:
Photobias, my understanding is that you'd be able to install the firmware but it wouldn't do much more than change the "i" to an "a". The supported frequencies wouldn't change. The reason why a lot of "a" users install "i" firmware is because the updates from SE come out earlier for this firmwares. I don't think there's a benefit to installing an "a" firmware on a "i" Arc.

-Sent from my Awesome Arc (LT15a v2.3.3 Global Generic)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AdamUpNorth:
Really? That's interesting. So the generic NA firmware has it disabled but Rogers has it enabled. I guess that means that the Rogers network supports Fast Dormancy.

Anyone using the generic US firmware on Rogers have any connection issues ?

Is there a difference between generic US .181 and north america generic 181? I just flashed to North America generic and there is no OTA update nor SEUS update....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
two difference that I know:

1) name of your phone in setting is different instead of lt15a says (i)

2) some extra apps which you can find them anyways

as far as function, nothing that I am aware of.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mach1Chris:
Thanks for the reply. Maybe I'm missing something, but the only .181 firmware I can find on here is North America generic... where is everyone finding .181 US generic?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
There is not US Generic since the phone is not even out in the US... NA Generic 181 which I posted and there is Rogers branded ROM as well.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PhyzX:
I posted a tutorial of how to get the US generic 181 actually
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Photobias:
So basically, there is no way to work 3g with a LT15i in America, (LT15a zone)?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kbadone:
Yes there is a US Generic .181, its posted at davinciteam site

LT15a 3.0.A.2.181 0001,0002,0003,0004 CUSTOMIZED US/MIDNIGHT BLUE WORLD-1-2-5
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mach1Chris:
Thanks for the reply. That's what I thought which is why I flashed NA Generic however PhyzX was very clear that he used US Generic. Seems that wotan server method he used has the US Generic but I haven't seen an ftf for it yet... only one I saw was your NA Generic 181 which explains the discrepancy/confusion.

PhyzX: Thanks for posting the tutorial. I was looking for an ftf package, didn't realize you got your 181 through wotan server as well. That explains it then: If you debrand to US Generic 181 using Wotan Server, there is an OTA update available. If you debrand to NA Generic 181 using the ftf file, there is no OTA update available yet.

Also, cannot seem to find anything about fast dormancy in the World Generic.... is it by default set to true if not explicitly stated or false?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DemonicHawk:
I would assume that is the case, since on my arc, it switches from H to 3G after about 5-7 seconds of inactivity.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BluechipJ:
(Hardware) Radios are fixed. Flashing an "i" firmware onto an "a" phone will NOT give you "i"-frequency 3G/H support in an "i" zone on your "a" phone and vice versa.

However, firmwares since 2.1 have contained both software radios so you CAN use any firmware on any phone. e.g. useful if a newer firmware hasn't been released in your region.

On every firmware I've used, my arc only switches to H (3.5G) only when I'm accessing data. Otherwise, it throttles back to 3G to save power.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Delete please
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BluechipJ:
I've been trying to decrypt/repackage the Wotan files, but so far, all the created .FTF files just stall when flashing system.sin.

It'd be nice to be able to flash the US Generic directly. (Also confirming that flashing the North American generic doesn't allow for an over-the-air update on my Rogers arc.)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
Try to flash the files on WinXP SP3, For me all firmwares gets stalled on System.sin on seven x64
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Photobias:
Excuse me... but I didn't understand... if I flash an "i" Arc, with an "a" rom, will 3g work in a "a" 3g country?

Thank you very much.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BluechipJ:
... facepalm. NO.

"a" phone:

"i" firmware in an "i" zone = No 3G.

"i" firmware in an "a" zone = 3G.

"a" firmware in an "i" zone = No 3G.

"a" firmware in an "a" zone = 3G.

"i" phone:

"i" firmware in an "i" zone = 3G.

"i" firmware in an "a" zone = No 3G.

"a" firmware in an "i" zone = 3G.

"a" firmware in an "a" zone = No 3G.

The firmware DOES NOT make your phone 3G-capable in another zone.

The radio on your phone is FIXED and does not change with software.

"i" phones ONLY have 3G in "i" zones and "a" phones ONLY have 3G in "a" zones, regardless of what firmware you're using.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] enrique71:
@BluechipJ,

Very true. I hava a Rogers unlocked Arc on LT15i firmware on AT&T and I get 3G/H without any issues ..

"a" phone: "i" firmware in an "a" zone = 3G.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbns:
I'm running the awesome das BAMF ROM 2.0-5 with the MR2 radio. The camera on this ROM runs much smoother when max CPU frequency is set at 1.4 ghz. Is it generally safe to leave my phone overclocked at 1.4 GHz indefinitely? Particularly for a daily driver/ primary and only phone? It seems to run this so far, but I don't know enough about long term effects of overclocking. Thanks everyone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the kid escobar:
I overclocked my Eris for over a year. 1.4 ghz is safe as a general rule because it can run stable up to 1.8. If you use SetCPU you can set profiles to underclock when the screen is off, below a certain battery level, etc. Just remember that if you flashed imoseyon's kernel, you need to run the speedtweak.sh script in a terminal emulator and run option 13 if you are using SetCPU after selecting voltage options.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbns:
I'm thinking I'll stick to whatever kernel is in the das bamf 2.0-5 ROM. Easy drop down menus :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbns:
Also, if a kernel runs stable at a certain frequency (say 1.8 ghz), does it follow that the processor hardware itself will also be OK? In other words, if I can run at 1.8 ghz stable and deal with the battery life associated with it, will my phone last through my two-year contract or will I wake up one morning a year from now and find the phone has turned into a marshmallow?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the kid escobar:
Well obviously there is risk involved, but a processor either runs fine, or it wont run at all. Personally I run at 1.6 Max right now, only because its not worth the risk, with the minimal gains to run it at 1.8. In terms of the longevity, well sometimes you gotta just take the plunge bud, that's the fun in android.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iastonish:
You won't really notice any performance difference with anything over 1.4 ghz.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
I have been running imoseyon's kernels at 1.4 max & 245 min ever since he implemented speedtweak. No overheating, reboots or other weirdness. Ymmv, each phone has different tolerances. But as long as you don't o/c the min frequency (i.e., you're not constantly at 1.9 or 1.4 ghz) you will probably be fine.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gimp1045:
same here, imo's kernels have made this phone what it should be. it has incredible battery life compared to stock.

but to answer the OP's question, i can't see why leaving it o/c'ed to 1.4 indefinitely will harm anything. like sublimaze mentioned, as long as you don't bump up the min freq, your phone won't be running at 1.4 the whole time. it only gets up that high when an app or system function needs the processing power.

on a side note, even if you did put your min freq at 1.4, i still don't think it would hurt anything, it would just murder your battery quickly
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] calebu2:
I picked up a stylus for my flyer on Thursday in England (GBP40 was slightly cheaper than $80). It's barely Sunday and somehow the battery is completely dead on the stylus. And AAAA batteries are not as easy to come by as other battery types.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what causes the pen to run down the battery? It doesn't have an on/off switch. I'd hope it isn't drawing any power when the screen is turned off.

I got a leather nook case with a front pocket that holds the pen and a few other accessories. I hope it isn't the proximity of the pen to the screen that causes it to run down.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jah:
Battery should last a year. You might find that one of the two buttons may be pressed by accident and that could lead to a discharge.

My Flyer is over 3 weeks old and I use the stylus every day and no issues with the battery.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dolmangar:
The included battery may also have been discharged when you got it. If it happens with a new battery then I would start to wonder if something was wrong.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] calebu2:
Strangely, the pen started working again. Not sure what was wrong with it before. Hope its not a dodgy pen...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DonalDuck47:
I have the same problem here

I have the same problem. However I am on my 5th AAAA battery and have already tried the 6 AAAA from a 9v battery. None of them lasted more than one or two weeks. As you might understand that is both very annoying and frustrating. I'm not living in the Us and have only a shop that sells AAAA nearby. So those AAAA may come discharged, but at least the ones from the 9v battery should work, right? Maybe it's from the pen? A friend bought it at Best Buy like 6 months ago and don't have the box or the receipt. What should I do? Buy a new pen (- I dislike this option A LOT!) ?

I thought about buying rechargeable AAAA batteries, but the only ones I found were this ones, on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AAAA-Rechargeable-Batteries-X-2-Charger-new-/320689614333?pt=US_Batteries&hash=item4aaa972dfd#ht_1676wt_1139.They don't exactly inspire thrust, so once again what do you recommend I do?

Thanks in advance,

DD47
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
If you look closely the tip on the pen moves back when pressed to the screen.

That is how it makes contact with the battery.

On my flyer if I press the pen very lightly on the screen it will not write.

Until I press hard enough to move the tip back into the body.

Perhaps your tip is stuck making contact or is getting pushed back when you store it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DonalDuck47:
Well, either you're wrong or my pen is malfunctioning. I put in a new AAAA battery, and used for a couple of minutes: everything worked fine - This was Day 1. In both days 2 and 3, I didn't use the pen. It was just standing there, no nibs or buttons being pressed. Day 4 - I go to the Notes App, and I start writing with the pen. I am able to write one sentence right and then the pens starts writing before it touches the screen. And I know from experience that after this starts happening the battery won't last a week. And it won't work properly again.

So, what should I do? Do I need to buy a new pen (as I said I'm not very keen on this option...) ?

Thanks in advance,

DD47
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
Quick question is your flyer in a case and are you charging it when this happens?

If so try unplugging it then touch the side with your finger (the metal part).

This could be a static discharge
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DonalDuck47:
My Flyer was in a case, but at no time charging...

Any other suggestion?

Thanks,

DD47
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
Because the pen is writing before touching the screen, that sounds like static discharge.

Try taking it out of the case and holding the metal back while writing
