Ok, from the top:

New phone purchased on 2.3.2

Rooted using gingerbreak

Deleted some Bloat

Went to update to 2.3.3 and couldnt due to deleted bloat.

Used SEUS to fix phone and update to 2.3.3

Used this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1119074 and followed it to the letter except didnt delete user data.

Ended up rooted on 2.3.3 - Hooray!

Frooze bloat this time so not to incur same problems as last time.

Rebooted phone and then disaster!!!

Phone kept getting to the Sony Ericsson screen then would reset over and over.

Flashed 2.3.2 again - this time including user data.

Set up all my accounts again, installed all my apps, made sure i could send and recieve calls/messages etc.

Tried to root using gingerbreak but it just hangs at the 1st screen for over an hour.

And this is where I am now. Im on 2.3.2, cant seem to root and dont want to update till i can root lol.

I have tried taking the battery out, lewaving for an hour and then doing the root process again to no avail.
[Xperia Play General] killa92:
Hmmm, shouldnt your phone still be rooted? If you play with the boot loader that will be why SEUS wont work. Bit odd really, should just be able to flash .184 2.3.2, ensure boot loader is locked, install and run gingerbread v1.2 exploit without ANY interruption then update OTA
[Xperia Play General] Flipfoot:
Hold the Fort!!!!

Just tried gingerbreak again, as Im reading your post, phone has just re-booted.

Ok, now Im rooted!!

Going for the OTA update now. Fingers crossed!

EDIT: Bugger, need to charge up the phone update won't work when under 50%.

I think I'll be ok now.

Its when i come to the next bit. This time I think I'll delete the bloat but keep a note on what I delete so if i need them back at least i know what to look for, and if all else fails i can use SEUS again. Im NEVER unlocking my bootloader lol!
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Don't delete any boats... What if 2.3.4 comes out and you want to do another ota update? Last thing you want to do is flash back to 2.3.2 and start all over again. Use titanium to freeze the bloatware.
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
Yeah it happens sometimes. I once had to reboot my phone twice and start gingerbreak again before it rooted. I have froze all the bloat i want gone instead of uninstalling. It doesnt free up space on the internal memory but it frees up ram. So reboot is like 1 minute and has the same effects uninstalling would do. No lag e.t.c

Just move your gameloft games to your sd card using titanium backup (free version) will free up internal memory. Saves the trouble of having to reinstall everything when you next want ota update in october. I use Bloat Freezer to freeze the apps i dont want running only £0.61. Does same job as titanium when freezing apps which is £3.83.
[Xperia Play General] killa92:
Yeah freezins apps is next on the list, or even just deleting them aslong as there ALL backed up. Has anybody backed up all of the apps?, would be a good idea for everybody. Some kind of complete SE 2.3.3 complete backup would be useful for everybody. That way people can delete EVERYTHING they want and not have to worry about SEUS as a restore can be completed :) Might do it and upload them all into one if anybody is interested??...
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036249 Yeah all the apps that come on the phone are on that thread. But i havent uninstalled anything just froze as i have said and moved the games to sd and i have 200+ mb on internal memory and 240 mb of ram which is more than enough. I can then just unfreeze all the bloat i froze and do the ota update with no problems.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidance:
Is there a way to disable market notifying new updates availability? I deselected all 'update' options on installed apps. All options are pretty much deselected such as receiving interest based ads.

Prior to the new market update, Android only auto started AlarmService.java (not sure what this does - would start regardless).

Now there's 1 processes and 2 services auto-starting:

PendingNotificationService

ContentSyncService

Market

com.android.vending

I don't need auto-updates or notification so is there any way to stop these services/processes from starting automatically?

Is there like a service I could kill from Titanium Backup Pro?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markkal123:
was running bamf 1.8.6 with launcherpro plus. just flashed this rom - [ROM][07.13.11] Liquid Thunderbread v2.3 Release which is preloaded with launcherpro (but not the plus version). restored my version of LauncherPro Plus from the bamf install with data via titanium backup. now i'm stuck. don't think thunderbread liked the restore.

now i have very limited functionality. i have access to the notification bar. but that's about it. the the power button is not functioning to either power the phone down or reboot into recovery. the hard buttons on the bottom of the phone aren't functioning and have no way to access anything. i basically have a black screen.

**** EDIT ****

ended up having to use ADB to boot into recovery and re-flash thunderbread.

thanks

OK I am finaly setting up google voice and I am good I think except one thing. DO i just stop using long press 1 to access my VM? Or can I set that up to work right too?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootandBoot:
You download the Google voice app onto your phone. Once you get it set up you will no longer need to call out for voicemail, it will all be handled through the app.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morkai Almandragon:
Yeah that much is evident. I was just curious if I can still access my VM through a phone line as before as well.

Also, how do I change the number of rings before my VM engages?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] featherdust:
If you have this bug I don't need to explain anything else. If you don't have it consider yourself lucky.

I have read the other threads on this forum and everyone seems to talk about switching the radio.

I think an easier solution would be to disable the search button.

You could do this possibly by

1) commenting out the search lines in the keyboard file

2) installing buttonremapper by beansoft and swapping the search button for something else like "focus" (Note: buttonremapper is available for free through this site or 99 cents through applications

I haven't rooted my phone yet and would prefer not to go through that if I know it won't work.

Looking for volunteers who have already rooted their phone to try one of the two solutions above and report back on their success.

Thanks

What is the bug?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] featherdust:
Do a google search for "Nexus s Voice search major problem" and you will find the google forum entry.

I can't post a link because I am a noob and it won't let me.

Basically the search button fires at random at times making the phone unuseable
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bart3385:
I don't seem to encounter this yet. Or maybe it has been fixed in 2.3.4?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] featherdust:
It's a problem in 2.3.4 and possibly 2.3.3

It does not hit all the Nexus S in Canada only some.

Very aggrevating
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarv:
I have this bug on FIDO. Phone came with baseband UCKD1. Tried software 2.3.3. and 2.3.4 and no difference.

Goes away if you disable 3G or use WIFI.

I'm having good results with the new radio. I flashed XXKB3 and have not seen the search button fire off in the last 2 days. Have not used WIFI at all either, so I think it's good.

However, issue with FIDO is that this radio will make it look like you're roaming, when in fact you aren't. I believe it has something to do with the older radio not recognizing that ROGERS now owns FIDO...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeramie0:
This drives me INSANE. I'm rooted. I've tried option 2 and it doesn't seem to work for me. I'll give option 1 a try, if someone can tell me the file I'm looking for...?

Thanks!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt99502:
I have the voice search bug as well on an I9020A (AT&T) I purchased recently. I took the risk even after hearing about the bug. Was a solution ever found or has everyone moved on to new phones? The screenshot is attached.

I hate that my phone has this bug. Other than this absolutely glaring bug it is a spectacular phone.

For those that do not know, the bug only occurs on some I9020A (US: AT&T Canada: Rogers) models. When the phone is attempting data transfers over 3G where signal strength is relatively low (on stock ICS ~2 bars or lower), the voice search will randomly fire. When downloading a large file over 3G, this can mean it fires almost constantly and makes the phone unusable. That's about the best description I can give.

EDIT: The voice search bug came back no matter what radio or distro I installed, so I just disabled the search capacitive button.

To do this:

***Enable R/W mode in Root Explorer****

1. Open /system/usr/keylayout on phone using Root Explorer.

2. Open mxt224_ts_input.kl in a Text Editor (long press, find option)

3. Comment out the search line by putting a # at the beginning of the line.

4. Save changes

5. Open cypress_touchkey.kl in a Text Editor

6. Comment out the search line by putting a # at the beginning of the line.

7. Save changes

8. Restart phone

Example edited line:

# key 217 SEARCH VIRTUAL

This works for me since I do not use the search button anyway.

Thanks to stumpy352 for starting a thread on instructions for disabling capacitive buttons.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stormtroopa:
I have some very serious perfomance issues since I switched to CM7. Before CM7 I had the LeeDroid Rom together with app2d+ running on my HTC Desire. It worked very smooth.

Than I decided to swicht to CM7 because of gingerbread. Everything worked smooth again. Then I used S2E to have the app2sd+ feature again (which I do need at any rate). Everything became really slow. Sometimes I have to wait half a minute until a program starts (even small ones). I tried to only have program files on SD and cache on internal memory, but it doesn't matter. I also have big lags with my launcher.

Anybody an explanation, hint or even a solutions to this?

Hi,

is it possible to get the Honeycomb-Style (Theme, Icons) without root?

Or is it neccessary to root the phone and use CM?

I found the "Go Launcher EX" with "Honeycomb" but I don't like the other features like switching the homescreens.

Icons:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.aac.lpphcicons&feature=search_result
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] treUse:
To change the status bar, etc. you need root, you can either use a .zip and flash the theme, or use a ROM which supports the themechooser. This isn't required though as you can create your own theme easily via UOT Kitchen.

My suggestion is:

1. Root your phone.

2. Install either Oxygen or CM7, both includes the themechooser.

3. Download and apply Honeybread HDPI Theme.

4. Enjoy.

This way you won't have to mess with the kitchen or anything, and you'll have the Honeycomb style you're after.

Hope it helps :D

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osx67:
Hi all

I,m a new owner of a Xperia Arc. It's locked for another carrier as mine!

Sometimes ago, with my Xperia x10 witch was locked the same way, I did just root it, install a custom ROM (Wolfbreak, CM6) and it was automatically unlocked...

Why can't do the same thing with Arc?

(It is already rooted with generic 3.0.A..2.181, but unfortunately remain locked!)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluechipJ:
SIM/network locking is completely independent and separate from any firmware. It is also once and permanent, unaffected by any future updates or flashing.

I don't know what you did to the X10, but flashing a firmware doesn't unlock it. You must purchase an unlock code.

In Canada, it's ~$5 USD but that varies depending on carrier and location.

Hello,

I've replaced the stock Samsung lockscreen with a custom one via WidgetLocker, but the one thing superior in the stock one was the music player widget which appears at the top of the lockscreen whenever the player is active.

Are there any equivalent widgets or any way to use the stock one? I haven't found other than the uglier big versions which are simply not pleasing to the eye.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Isadora:
There's a widget called phantom music and if I recall correctly, it hides itself when the player isn't in use. I haven't tried though so can't say whether it works well or not

Seems to work fine enough, even if it's not as nice as the stock TouchWiz one. I've seen it before in screenshots but nobody ever mentioned what it was called. Thanks.

Did you have to buy the app for it to work ? I tried the free version on market and it completely freaks out my Samsung stock music app, it starts skipping to next song in a rapid phase, causing my phone to slowdown, I had to kill the music app and uninstal Phantom to get it back in order. I did notice though that the paid one had support for more music apps, so maybe it is more stable ?
