[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihabit:
Hi.

I'm a noob myself but you can find posts on how to root your phone. ( I did the easy way). http://www.droidforums.net/forum/thunderbolt-hacks/141936-auto-root-unroot-htc-thunderbolt.html

And i've flashed every rom out there for the thunderbolt. My favorite one by far is this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1110820

Its the fastest one, stable, reliable, great on battery. Its the best.

The developer is doing a great job fixing all the small issues.

As for now the only issue is the camcorder but he just posted that he fixed it.

Beside that it is just great.

Sense 3.0, Netflix, skype, talk....you name it....everything is there.

maybe you shouldn't start with this one.... I miss flashing new roms . now I really have no reason to do it.

This rom is the best!!!!

"there are no updates available for your phone"
[HTC Sensation] Lilburd:
That's the Taiwanese software version, and so far we're all still waiting for it.
[HTC Sensation] saganomics:
I've got the same software as well. It's funny, a phone made by a company in Taiwan and the home country gets the update way after everywhere else.

707 and 708 are live, maybe this is next? Fingers crossed.
[HTC Sensation] william31518:
i got mine today! i manually check mine and WOOT its here!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Did a factory reset all is running better!!!

Has anyone else noticed this?

Batter is lasting longer. Phone also more responsive.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
Thanks for sharing, others have reported similar results. Thankfully mine is fine as it is. Stock ROM rooted.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
I was wondering, since I'm rooted running stock ROM and I wanted to do a factory reset, can I just reset to factory settings and still be rooted or do I have to root again?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] drumsforjs:
You'll lose root if you wipe your internal and external SD card.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
but doing factory reset will erase both? I used superoneclick and I thought it was permanent root? What are ppl talking about when they say they want to return phone to tmobile but they have to unroot. Can't they just factory reset then? and if I just factory reset while I'm rooted will it damage the phone in anyway?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Mine was still rooted.

Superuser was in APP drawer after factory reset.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
So I can just go straight to settings> privacy> factory reset, click it and it'll delete all my installed apps, revert me back to how it was out of the box, but still be rooted with the necessary apps like superuser installed?

I got to many apps no memory and somethings draining my battery quick, so definitely I need to reformat...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] derekedw:
Correct. ROOT is a part of SYSTEM. SYSTEM doesn't get touched during a reset, only DATA.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
+1 yes sir;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Battery is running way better. I am getting 10-12 hours on a full charge, Using it in the same ways I was using it before the factory reset. I also mostly on WI-FI at home and at work.

Tonight I try just my phones data no WI-FI. That way I see if the 4G kills the battery quicker.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmandros:
This happened for me also. I can get about 30 with light use and about 20 or so with my typical use. Prior to the reset I was only getting about 10 to 13
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
The most I get is 20 hours.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redishbrown:
If you do not do a backup does that matter as far as apps? I would assume that once you log back into your account you'll have access to those apps. I don't have any custom settings just running rooted stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I used APP MONSTER and TITANIUM BACKUP. I also made manual backup from my phone and memory card to my laptop.

I like APP MONSTER, Because it has a setting to make a backup of APP every time you install a APP.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
I went through with this, and my battery last way longer because I don't have all those apps. Infact without Juice Defender, I'm getting even better battery life. I also reformatted both internal and external memory. The phone feels bare, and I'm just gonna install things I actually find useful.

Again I notice better battery life without Juice defender, don't know if juice defender was draining more battery or not but better battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I am aslo running only what's needed also. I have apps backup in my SD card. That I can install at any time.

No rebooting yet or phone being unresponsive.

It did freeze once because it was really hot @ 120°F.
[Xperia Play General] ammarcool12:
the title says it all...

is there a way to root our plays running 2.3.3 without loosing all apps,data reflashing the whole firmware etc?

like is there some app or something which can give us root access?

2.3.3

locked bootloader

r800i

-Ammar:cool:
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
No. You cannot root on 2.3.3 you will have to backup all the data you dont want to loose. Titanium backup lets you do 1 free backup of each apps data. So as long as the data backups ok you should be fine with the free version. MyPhoneExplorer Client will let you back up text messages e.t.c. Then you will have to flash 2.3.2 then root then do ota to get back to 2.3.3.
[Xperia Play General] ammarcool12:
Even if I do backup with mybackup pro after flashing the 2.3.2 firmware I dont think the OTA updates are available in the UAE because I coudnt update via OTA the last time the update was available
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
If you flash the 2.3.2 generic uk from the guides then your 2.3.3 update will come from the uk not UAE. Plus i just realised you cannot use titanium since you dont have root. But should work with mybackup pro i guess (i have never used it)
[Xperia Play General] ammarcool12:
Hmm ok will try this soon...hope it works
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
I havent been able to send pictures with Handcent in while.

Anyone else have this or even better, knows how to fix it?

Info:

Decrap 1.1

ASOP LS/Power Menu/Battery MOD

I do have all the stock messaging stuff frozen...but it doesn't change anything.
[LG Revolution] iomthd:
Having issues with gosms also
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Unfreeze stock messaging. Disable notifications in stock messaging program.

Why? Programs like go sms and hand cent are not messaging replacement programs. The rely on the stock messaging framework to work themselves. Let me know if that works.
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
No Handcent got an update a few months ago so it could be a stock replacement. You have to check it in the settings though.

Little Buddy Sr.
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up.
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
With the new update I don't see that option anymore...and now it stopped working again even with the stock messaging app unfrozen.

Anyone else seeing this?

2.3.4 gives me good battery life
[Galaxy S II General] shiningscar:
Yep.. Definite improvement in the battery life! Have been on 2.3.4 since morning.

However, I still need to check the drain overnight.

On 2.3.3, the overnight drain for me was atleast 12-13% with Packet Data. WiFi and GPS Off!
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
2,3,3 KF3 overnight drain 3% Wifi On Data off GPS off .

KF3 Kernel KE7 modem Villain 1.4 rom .

[Galaxy S II General] yajur:
packet data is main cause for 12-13% drain can u try that with wifi on?
[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
You missed to show the "display on time" in the video. I e press display in the battery menu and read the actual time there.

That is the most important thing to judge if this is good or bad.

Do you know the "display on time" in this case?

I typically get 4h "display on time" in one charge with mixed usage. But of course this depends, if you make a lot of call with display off or play mp3's a lot with display off then you get less display on time of course. And the display brightness affects this too of course (I'm using auto brightness)
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Yet another battery thread like we don't have enough already lol
[Galaxy S II General] amukilla:
what was your display time on?

cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] yajur:
it 3hr and 33min i have not played any mp3 songs on these 2 days
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Hmm, which is imo low. I always get 4 hrs 15 mins minimum and almost 5 hours maximum time.
[Galaxy S II General] Subah:
What is the truth about the battery ?

some body said it is stay with me more than one day

and other said from 4 to 6 hours

:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] yajur:
but 3hrs + voice call and 6min video call

during the voice call i this display will be off may be that cause to drain my battrie soon.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
3 hours of voice call is good but not great and and its not a deciding factor as the screen was off in those hours. I am not saying your back up is bad but I don't think there is any improvement in 2.3.4 from 2.3.3.

Regards.

[Galaxy S II General] rutu3:
Is 2.3.4 officially available for download in india ?
[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
Sounds pretty normal, especially since this is during two days, so you get more idle drain.

Many factors affect this, e g signal strength during voice/data connection and display brightness.
[Galaxy S II General] rudolf895:
@yajur

have you changed your screen density?
[Galaxy S II General] shiningscar:
Tried putting Packet Data, GPS and Wi-Fi all Off.

Battery was 25% when I went to bed.

However, when I woke up, poof! phone's switched off!

The battery drain is decent whilst browsing and making calls, but is insanely large on standby. Any suggestions?

Does Advanced Task Killer consume a lot of battery?

I'm on 2.3.4 , using VillainROM 2.0.
[Galaxy S II General] jbdeq:
I also have achieved 2 days on battery. Not sure exactly how though. Seems achievable through removing certain apps..
[Galaxy S II General] Pume:
It's, at least for me, easily achievable. Light to medium usage, no long game sessions at the ****ter and turning the push exchange to manual does the trick :)

I don't even know what these files are but I hope it helps lol
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
Why do people even have the verizon version of the play? In my opinion I doubt that root will ever happen nevermind unlocking the bootloader for those phones, the amount of time and effort it would take would be crazy. I would personally get a different one
[Xperia Play General] icebear8:
We have them because att sucks in my area, and it was the only option I can get that I can pay the lease :/ I really wanted a play and thats the only one I can get for 50$ it was this or the droid x2 which... sometimes I think I should of got or waited for the droid bionic
[Xperia Play General] JasonKnight:
because all in all it is a really nice phone, on par with the other 1GHz phones out there on the Verizon network just sacrificed 2-8GB of internal storage for a slide out controller.

Motorola locked out their bootloader but you still see people attempting to get past them, what makes this phone any different? OMG it has a GAMEPAD.

Either someone will figure it out or not, no use *****ing about what people picked, it was their decision. I am surprised my old piece of crap Eris had the following it did. Someone will figure it out. As this was mentioned before, for there being 1 CDMA model to the what 8 GSM versions it will just take a little longer then normal.

Or the GSM side will just spit in the CDMA side of it's face and attempt to forget about it, Either way it is still an amazing phone.
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
My wife got a Droid 3 and I was green with envy.... dual core OMAP... HDMI out... (no 4g in our area yet)... HUGE internal memory... amazing keyboard... until I tried to play Nova on it using the touch screen controls... :cool:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piesis:
Hi to all,

After droping my phone a few times, I had many black pixels wich were increased while charging and then decreased again. I also had Newton circles and if there was pressure for some time the digitizer appeared stuck and was not responcing untill were pulled with tape or by "kissing" the stuck spot. I bought from e-bay a digitizer and a lcd screen(Item number:	280609930728), replaced them both (for the digitizer i used hair dryer and the inclueded opening tool to seperate the digitizer and UHU glue to glue the new one).LCD is working fine but I tried to align the digitizer but it was looping, I also tried programs to do that from pc, still not getting ressults, I tried to reset the numbers from registry and they returned, I also got loosen the screws by 1/4 of a turn and nothing happened. I did not hard reset but something tells me that it won't help. Any ideas?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluechipJ:
I've been trying to flash custom 2.2 ROMs onto a friend's X10a and have repeatedly encountered "com.android.phone" crashes. (I've previously flashed many ROMs so I've been through the usual debugs: crash system server, etc.)

The baseband flash is successful (no "unknown baseband" issues) and WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth all work.

I've tried the following combinations of Iris (Froyo) v1.7.3 on:

Firmware 504: .49, .52, .54

Firmware 435: .61, .67

All wipes (system, cache, data, Dalvik, battery) are performed before flashing the custom ZIP. System server is crashed at least 3 times on each trial to allow the ROM to settle and radio to activate but no dice. :-(

Scenarios tested:

No SIM: loads fine

- power off, insert non-data SIM, boot: repeated com.android.phone crashes, ROM unusable (crash system server, factory reset, no effect)

Non-data SIM: repeated com.android.phone crashes, ROM unusable

- connect to WiFi, restart, still com.android.phone crashes despite working browser and other Internet applications

Data SIM: loads fine

- restart with non-data SIM: com.android.phone crashes

- restart with data SIM: fully functional

- activate airplane mode, restart with non-data SIM, no crashes

- deactivate airplane mode, repeated crashes, unusable

Any help or insight is appreciated.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] apax:
i've been a windows phone for a long time and i finally changed to a infuse android phone and i'm new to this platform...still learning everything.. its alot different,..

my first question, on the email inbox, is there a way to delete several email at a time or just one by one?

secondly, is there any apps for hotspots thats free to use cuz the one that comes with at&t, you need to paid monthly...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
If you root your device and remove one of the apps, you can tether regardless of whether your account is provisioned for it.

Or, all of the alternative ROMs in the development section remove this app for you.

Yes, that's right - removing an app ADDS features, the app is there to impose restrictions. I forget it's name as I'm running a custom ROM (Infused 1.5.0)
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
giving this a go now. ill report back ;-)

Cant seem to get this to work. i just type viperbloat in adb or terminal emualtor and it says not found. then i type /sdcard/viperbloat and i get permission denied?
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
ran through terminal emulator and just removed safe bloatware and recommended. no errors and ill report back how it does for my battery life. there is a option that says no recommended and i followed it because i didnt want to start from scratch. So far i give this app a thumbs up.

Thanks for the hard work.
[HTC Sensation] -viperboy-:
Did you run the .bat file? Run it again.

And I assume you guys have the same deal as the EVO 3D and we are using /vendor for /system (symlink)? That's how I have it setup is to push it to /vendor/bin and chmod. Please let me know.
[HTC Sensation] bpear96:
what exactly did you type in terminal emu?
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
are you temp rooted already? and when u run the bat file wait till it says press any button to continue than type su in terminal emulator to see if u have permission after that type viperbloat and the app should pop up.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
i typed viperbloat and i got the above screenshot but in white/blue.

If you are seeing /vendor/bin, something is wrong. Download the .bat from another browser just to be safe. As far as the .zip, what error do you get?

No need, the .zip does it for you... atleast, it should. It's coded to.

Here's a screenie for your reference..

This is done via 3.1.3.bat

Oh, yeah not having busybox would affect you. Didn't even think about that as most people have it. Sorry about your problems!

I didn't know that I don't have it till I went to download busybox installer and it says I don't have any installed. But TB says I have the latest version, that's why I thought I had it. Thx for this great app, had over 100+ mb even after so many apps staying in background.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
I just erased everything and rebooted my phone and started from scratch...everything works for me.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
What I think would be nice is a list of "things" that people have disabled WITH an explanation as to what effect it has on the phone. Some are obvious, others are not.

Some people recommend deleting anything and everything because they hate all that sense 3.0 has to offer. Others simply dont like the bloatware.

For example, I dont like my phone wanting to sync facebook. Disabling facebook took care of that, but say I really like the option to take a picture and email it to someone as easily as I can with this phone? These mass lists that people post more than likely disable a process that would ruin that picture to email ability. See where I am going?

Seems irresponsible to recommend so many "kills" without knowing WHAT you are killing. No?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
All you have to do is read thru the options while running viperbloat thru ur phone. It will tell u what's safe and what's not safe. Options #1-4
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
SAFE? Safe for what? As in, your phone wont crash? How about safe for the apps I use? ;-) See what I am saying? I havent used this yet, but if it does indeed explain what apps will fail, then I am all for it.

For instance, google maps needs network location ( I believe). I dont like network location running in the background, restarting despite me stopping it, but disabling it might cause google maps to stop.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
safe as in your phone wont explode:D

but seriously when u pick the options it gives u a run through of what it plans on deleting. i removed everything that was safe option wise and than i played around with my phone to see if i got any error messages. everything was fine. its just based on personal preference of what u want and dont want.
