[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcandyman:
Not one response? That's disappointing. I was doing some testing with CM7 today and I could not reproduce the bluetooth breakage that I have experienced every other time. I was trying to isolate what was causing the issue by lashing the rom, then booting, testing, then flashing the RIL, booting, testing, then flashing the gapps package, booting, testing, then re-installing all apps one at a time from titanium backup (the same as I did before) and nothing broke it. Over a full day now and bluetooth is rock solid.

This poses a problem because I don't know WHY it is working. The only variable I actually changed is booting after each thing I flashed. This still will not change issues with any other AOSP roms even if the solution is to flash each separately, because the rest come with gapps installed, and they are broken both before and after a RIL flash.

Also to further convolute things, I started the day testing LeeDroid. Bluetooth would not connect. This is a rom that should have connected just fine.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightlight:
Hi mrcandyman,

I too have noticed that a lot of AOSP roms have (imho) severe BT problems, mainly with connection to earpieces in my case (voice dialling). I have tried AOSP roms on both my desire and sgs2 and had the same problems on both. Flashing back to rooted stock roms has always cured my problems with BT. I am not a dev or programmer so have no idea what or where the problem lies only that stock roms I've tried don't have BT problems and AOSP do.

feeling your pain,

Night....

I am getting:

C:\Flash>fastboot boot recoveryNeo.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)

finished. total time: 0.002s

My device did have an unlocked bootloader, but I relocked it. My phone is rooted. I've not had any luck unlocking the bootloader again though the SE website.

This is what I get when I try and unlock the bootloader again:

C:\Flash>fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xAC38D....XXXX

...

(bootloader) Unlock phone requested

FAILED (remote: oem unlock failed!)

finished. total time: 0.003s

Any advice?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Bin4ry:
Reqeuest new unlock key, but this has nothing to do with the recovery! If you have an locked bootloader it is normal that this wont work.

Regards
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] funkyblue04:
I tried a new unlock key just then. Does not seem to be a way to unlock again, after relocking.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Bin4ry:
Please ask in another thread (re-lock bootloader thread), i want to have this thread clean about problems / suggestions for the recovery itself!

Thanks.

after re-unlock bootloader Clockwork recovery works fine :)

P.S. Or re-unlocking or recovery wipe my data = factory data reset :|

Hmm after boot i dont have a lock screen, power menu shows only one option "switch off", meybe reflash help

OK after reflash 3.0.1.A.0.146 (wifi fix) from WotanServer everything looks OK (missing root :)

P.S. How enter into recovery ? Power + Vol down ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Juevani:
Does this work on Arc??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ZaWoK:
To operate the bootloader has to be unlocked?

If so if we can not enter locked fastboot mode and can not do anything. Is there another option?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Bin4ry:
Only hot boot mode now!

We have release for ARC long time ago :P

No! Unloock needed!

Creating recovery worked fine. Wiping caches worked fine. Stock Neo ROM does not automount ext2. Creating ext2 partition in recovery worked, but my phone did not find it on sd card after booting.

That is on 2.3.3 of course which has kernel to support ext2/3/4.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
Discovered how this recoveryNeo.img CWM is even more awesome.

I messed around with partitions with Minitool and fdisk. Both caused the sd card to become unmountable, even with fdisk showing info about it as:

c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

This CWM either restored partition table or did something else, but it fixed what i have yet no idea how to do it manually.

Is there any chance that this works for hot-booting into recovery on Xperia ray? If not: can I provide you guys with something so that you can make it work for the ray too? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] NeoJeo:
Hello,

That does't work for me, i don't know if i do something wrong.

The SDK is installed, my bootloader is unlocked, "recoveryNeo.img" is in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.

I connect the phone in fastboot, the led turns blue, when i type fastboot devices it recognizes my phone.

But when i type fastboot boot recoveryNeo.img, it says Cannot load ' recoveryNeo.img'

Is that a driver problem ? thanks.

EDIT

: that was just a noob error :D that worked when i did "fastboot boot C:\recoveryNeo.img" after copying the file to C:

Thanks for this nice recovery :D

After intalling Recovery you need app called "xperia reboot" in market search.

Withthis app you can reboot to recovery.It was only solution for me to boot recovery.:cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zwolf1000:

After 2.34 update my phone dont reboot to recovery anymore...with this app. I reinstall 2.3.3 and app reboots fine to recovery. For me right now only solution to boot recovery. "Evrytime i flas via fastboot recovery....its not hard....but it works ALWAYS. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] electricbluejase:
Yeah if I want to use the recovery I fastboot it. Hope there is a install version soon though. :-)

Noob question I guess, but what would be the command to do fastboot from linux? Is it the same? I read somewhere that it is slightly different in linux or mac. I don't want to be using windows
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] taaviu:
Can anyone explain that:

If im 2.3.3 and i installed recovery. Anytime I CAN BOOT directly to into recovery with xperiareboot app. When im 2.3.4 I CANT BOOT directly recovery....evrytime i must install recovery via fastboot and then i get to recovery.

Regards!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Sipi1302:
Me too cant boot directly in recovery.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
IDK why but we can't cold boot recovery on 2.3.4. I haven't used recovery when I was on 2.3.3, but on 2.3.4 I need to flash it first too.

It's not a that big problem, since if I'm modding, I'm always busy on my computer.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] taaviu:
But how to explaine that..?

With 2.3.3 i dont need flash recovery and with 2.3.4 i must install every time?

I read a post on the Arc forum saying that DooMKernel has CWM buiklt in. On 2.3.4 we don't have a working DooMKernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] taaviu:
So if i unlock bootloader, then flash prerooted 2.3.3 and doomlord v8 kernel....after that i have already CWM. :)

Thats nice!

Tomorrow i test it.

Taavi
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
But you were on 2.3.3 already isn't it? You wanted to use doomlord kernel I read earlier and thus you were still on 2.3.3, but you've updated recently?

After switching ROMS, designing my homescreen taskes most of the time. I guess you already use Titanium Backup?

I also don't want CM7, but I'm curious about MIUI. Would be nice if that came to the Neo.

I don't switch ROMs too often and try to do it only when absolutely necessary. Normally it keeps me busy the whole afternoon :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] taaviu:
Yees :)

Agree.

MIUI is to my "wishlist"

Titanium i use only for testing what apps i can freez and delete, because my purpuse is get this stock rom superfast and i leave only that what i need. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] taaviu:

How to Connect phone in fastboot mode???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] electricbluejase:
* turn off the phone.

* hold the menu (far right) key.

* connect USB cable.

If successful you will get a blue led. Which means you are in fastboot mode. :)

I have seen a few threads lately looking for handwriting note taking apps and this got me wondering about handwriting recognition on my tablet. Having tried a few I can thoroughly recommend Diopen Handwriting and Keyboard. It is quite accurate and works just as well with either my Acase stylus or finger. Diopen supports gestures for inserting a space, deleting, splitting and joining words and correction. Give it a go.

Oh, and yes I wrote this post with it :D
[Atrix 4G General] rawfa:
I've just updated my Atrix to Gingerbread and all almost all my complaints about the Atrix are now gone! There are some things that do not please me though.

Here is a quick sum up of my experience so far:

Positive

- Lag between homescreens after you wake up the phone. Before Gingerbread I've tried ALL the major launchers and there was lag with ALL of them. With Gingerbread the lag is gone! Zeam Launcher is a beauty to use.

- The agenda/calendar app is close to perfection now. Really really excellent.

- The Gallery is very good.

- The dock and the look are very cool.

Could use improvement

- The music player really needs to allow you to organize your music by folder.

Step backwards.

- The Gingerbread keyboard is great but I really cannot understand why they took a step backwards and removed a great feature. With froyo once you clicked for some seconds on a letter you would get a pop up rectangle with all options regarding this letter (the same letter with accents, etc). The rectangle would stay there until you've selected your choice. But with Gingerbread you have to keep pressing the letter and then slide your finger to the option you want to select in the rectangle. This sucks! The keyboard would be just perfect if it weren't for this.

Still the same

- I thought that Motorola would finally allow you to decide for your self how many homescreens you need instead of still forcing you to have the number of homescreens that think it's right.
[Atrix 4G General] Souai:
hmm, so far for me...

advantages of gingerbread

more free ram on bootup

games run slightly smoother (im assuming better drivers)

disadvantages

menus now have white background with black text. on an lcd screen, this can increase battery consumption notably compared to the previous white text on black background.

icons seem too large for my liking

doesnt feel as smooth as froyo in some areas

when typing with froyo, if you pressed once on an area in the text but missed your target, you could press and hold and a mini magnifying glass would pop up to help you place your text marker more easily. with gingerbread, this is replaced by just a little marker. just a minor annoyance imo.
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
We have white sub pixels, so doesn't that help battery consumption? That's just what I've read thoughout the forum. This is qHD, not just a regular HTC LCD
[Atrix 4G General] rawfa:
The keyboard thing is really what's beyond my comprehension. Why would they take a step backwards?! Why? I even checked the settings to see if there was a way to change this but apparently there isn't. This may not be a big deal to english speakers but for languages like portuguese that have toons of accents it was a super useful asset. I hope Motorola fixes this.
[Atrix 4G General] wirednix:
You can download different keyboards, right?

Maybe one of them has the features you want.
[Atrix 4G General] rawfa:
Yes, I know, but it's just a shame that Motorola had such a great keyboard and had to go and change it for the worst.
[Atrix 4G General] RogerPodacter:
This is an lcd screen so the color has no effect on power usage at all. Only on amoled screens does black color drain less power than white. So the new color makes no difference.
[Atrix 4G General] Souai:
i read a while ago a thread on allaboutmaemo or allaboutmeego that they tested the battery life difference between samsung galaxy s (lcd vs amoled) and they found that white backgrounds did increase battery consumption. although its not as bad of an increase when compared to amoled.
[Atrix 4G General] MARCuS MARCuS MARCuS:
A white background will use slightly more power than a black background as all of the sub-pixels in the screen need a continuous charge to stay in the "on" position. However, I seriously doubt that the affect on power consumption would be anything other than negligible unless you are in the menus 24/7.

I do prefer a black background with white text though.

Hopefully it at least uses the SGS blue marker, which IMO was way better than the magnifying glass anyway...
[Atrix 4G General] GM1:
Just delete/remove it and re-pair it. Should work fine then.
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
it does, i dont think its that bad compared to the magnifying glass. just doesnt look as kool..

Homescreen scrolling is still slow. I love the new look but I keep going back to launcherpro. Seriously, why can they just make it smooth like launcherpro?
[Atrix 4G General] Tenfore:
Upgrade was successful on first attempt. After 5-minutes use... app icons appear to be larger - have not checked if there is a setting for that. I thought I heard that we would be able to get more icons per screen so maybe there is a setting. Contacts application appears to work differently and contact details are not as compact as previously. Weather Channel app took some time to load but I see it is up now. I like the new look of the alert bar. Anyway that's after only 5-minutes of playing around.

i like the white menus alot, its different. all android is usually black which gets boring. if you dont like it theme it.

i just hate how the homescreen lags :)
[Atrix 4G General] Tenfore:
Looks like you need to select your default storage for new contacts: Contacts -> More -> Settings -> Contact Storage.

Also seems that you can no longer scroll the contacts page left and right as you could previously.
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
Pal, you have your facts wrong.

On LCDs white or black (or any color combination) don't matter at all because pixels are not light up individually like AMOLED screens, LCDs use a backlight panel that lights up no matter what color is represented on the screen (separate layer), to prove that, turn on your Atrix and on the M Logo you can see that the black background is not 100% black, but dark grey and some light escapes from the top bezel if looked at an angle!

On AMOLEDS there's no backlight panel since individual pixels light up, thus blacks do save some energy (also the reason why AMOLEDS have better contrast ratio than LCDs.

However I do prefer LCDs over AMOLEDS since AMOLEDS degrade over time because they're made of organic chemicals, with Blue color being the most degrading color. Some people report a 'Burn-In' effect if used extensively. I've seen this problem on several AMOLEDS and Super AMOLEDS.

Cheers!

For people not happy with the motorola keyboard, download the stock gingerbread keyboard free on the market. Superior in all ways in my opinion.
[Atrix 4G General] ptbyjason:
I felt the same way until I found the profiles section. Hit the menu button when on the home screen and select profiles. I feel like I have 3 different phones now with 7 screens each. I have work mode, home mode, and a mode for reading news and forums and such. Maybe it was in froyo, but I never noticed it. One of my favorite features now.
[Atrix 4G General] RogerPodacter:
correct. i too am kinda sick of amoled screens cause i feel they are power hogs, inefficient. yes black colors use less power consumption. but in everyday use you NEVER come across all dark colors. on my n1 i am tired of worrying about using only dark colors, it never works. and from tests, white webpages destroy battery way faster than regular lcd screens. so i'm enjoying atrix for now..
[Atrix 4G General] atlana:
I think you're buying into the SLCD-panic-marketing-hype, AMOLEDs have a "life-cycle" (that is, lifetime of their light-output degrading down to 50% from original) is 5000 hours @ 1000 cd/m² brightness, and 12000 hours @ 100 cd/m².

now 1000 cd/m² is some damn BRIGHT lit screen! On top of that it come the factor of temperature the AMOLED operates at. cool/room-temperate AMOLEDs last a lot longer than very warm/hot AMOLED operating screens.

In addition, such "official technical specs" are usually extrapolated at shortest lifecycles, so you can expect to last it quite longer under "normal/consumer use".

If you've watched movies on an AMOLED and LCD on your smart-phones, you'll notice a major difference in colors (especially facial ones), which are in AMOLED much 'truer'.

Not to mention that SAMSUNG is (unfortunately) currently the only major AMOLED manufacturer that's out there, which makes it rather unfeasible for the manufacturing competition.
[Atrix 4G General] RogerPodacter:
My nexus one has burn in of the keyboard and status bar and clock icons. Just from normal use for a year. Many others have the same issue in threads posted there. I think that type issue is what he referred to regarding amoled screens. Personally I think they are power hogs from the tons of testing I've done. But that's with old nexus one, not newer efficient super amoled and plus.
[Atrix 4G General] squarejp:
Actually the white background in Pentile display uses less power and allows more backlight to be emitted out. This is RGBWhite subpixel rendering which turns off the polarizer for the white light.

The black screen also has issues of ghosting.
