[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bavilo:
The best rom is most definitely 2.1.1.C.0.0.

No other custom rom can compete with it. I'm sick of all these Bull**** wannabe custom roms which are copied and pasted along different releases.

EVERY custom rom I have EVER tried for the mini pro has reboot issues amongst other serious problems.

They are ALL CRAP. After over half a year of "tweaking and fixing" these crappy roms, you are left with...even more crap.

Do yourself a favor and flash an official firmware. Slap Launcherpro on it and call it a day.

[Defy General] vgowtham97:
I need a new mobile.I have considered Desire and Defy.The only difference between this two is the processor.Defy has 800MHz Cortex-A8 processor and the desire has 1 GHz Scorpion processor.Which is the best between these two.I need it mainly for gaming.So i need all the latest games to work without any lag.Does heavy games run on Defy without any lag?

Sorry for my Bad English:)
[Defy General] xdaid:
Not an expert in games here... but i can tell you Cortex from TI is much better in terms of performances. I'd go for Defy even if the Qualcomm cpu inside Desire clocks 200mhz more...

EDIT: also consider the PowerVR 530 graphic chip inside the Defy, it's not bad for gaming. AFAIK you can run any game with no problems provided that you download the powerVR version of the game (i mean, forget those Tegra2 or Xperia Play dedicated games)
[Defy General] salingpusa:
For processor of defy, tout can overclock it to 1.2 ghz. for tegra games, download chain fire 3d from market. You have to be rooted to do both.

Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
[Defy General] Izak80:
How does one distinguish between powerVR and Tegra2 versions of games in the Android Market?
[Defy General] xdaid:
Oh don't worry for that, the Android Market (at least the "desktop version") will tell you whether a game is compatible with your device or not. In the mobile version should be even easier since the game won't appear at all.
[Defy General] Izak80:
Ok, then i dont have to think about it, good. Thanks for the info. By the way, bought a wonderful little game today called "They need to be fed", what a fun and addiciting game it turned out to be.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadlondon:
I bought the samsung s2 primarily because of the amazing reviews it got for battery life.

I got mine 2 days ago and right from the start there were problems. I charged the unit three hours and according to the battery meter it had still not charged. then I tried to turn on the phone nevertheless, and it said it had 100% battery life. I then used it for 2 mins and it dropped down to 0% again and powered down. Then on charge back up to 100% in a couple of moments and back down to 0 % mins later. I took the battery out then put it back in - and then it was working fine again.

Now on day two, I've noticed an immense drain when its in use. Check out the screenshots. I think I'd be lucky to get two hours solid use out of it.

Should I return it, or does this look standard?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
The battery needs some time before it reaches it full potential. In the mean time do some searching cause there already are enough battery life threads.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadlondon:
I already searched and read many of the other battery threads but didnt come across anyone who'd experienced the problem I described.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadlondon:
Thanks for your feedback.

I've read through quite a few posts there.

One thing; do we know how long galaxy s2 should be able to be on for if the screen was on the whole time? Is four hours low, or does that sound right??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost77:
50% or less on brightness playing SD video should last more then 7 hours , browsing web however can be 5ish+ .

Screen at 100% and browsing web drains battery fast , 4 sounds about right.

It all depends what and how you doing it ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadlondon:
Well I have it on auto brightness, usually which seems to be around 50%....

and I'm web browsing or just playing around with settings and looking at menus. I'm down to 45% battery and have probably had the screen lit up for maybe 90 mins max??

rest of the time phone has been on idle with wifi on but no network activity...

does this sound below what it shoudl be??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadlondon:
OK I've now attached my screenshot.

Does this battery usage seem normal??

i.e, such extreme drops when the phone is in active use???

All I've been doing is texting, some wifi surfing, and looking at menus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydc:
Search the forum for "Android OS bug". There's no solution yet though. Turning wifi off when you're not using it helps.

Hi there.

I have installed Lite’ning Rom v1.5. Everything is working ok, but yesterday before sleeping I had battery 80 %, today after 6 h it drops to 1 %. I have data transfer turned off, also Gps, WiFi, ... Also before 2 weeks it drops from 100 % to 70 % after some hours with no using.

I have to add, that my battery held up for 4 days once with no particular using.

Any ideas plz?

Thx for answer.

Hi all, just have a small question to ask, will international atrixes (Korean in my case, should've gone for ATT Version) be able to flash CM7 or MIUI or similar custom rom when its out, or its build only for ATT Atrixes?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IrshaadH:
As long as you have an unlocked bootloader, then you will be able to install them. The only catch is you will have to apply a RAM fix.

What are the best set CPU settings for speed and battery
[HTC EVO 3D] SouthernEvo:
With root being so new , there is going to be more tweaking and adjustments made as development progresses . I tried the standard (Conservative with stock clock speeds) and a screen off profile set to the lower end of the stock setting 384 (I believe) . It resulted in a lag and hesitation when unlocking the phone initially but would smooth out in roughly 1-2 seconds . I followed the previous thinking that was applied to Net's kernels on the EVO4G . I think at this point is better to sit tight and wait alittle longer for better and advanced kernels come out that address this issue . Most of these devs have been burning a **** ton of midnight oil to get roms out since root is now out to the public . Give them time they will get there , alot of hard work is going on in the background and the finished products show it . The devs here are awesome and I envy them for their abilities . Just give them some time.
[Atrix 4G General] arikyeo:
I can't seem to find a section for ATRIX. I don't like the idea of not having to stick with stock ROM and my HD2 is failing.. If you don't know, ATRIX is available in other parts of the world or at least in Singapore which is where I stay..

[Atrix 4G General] sauronith:
That's called an international Motorola atrix, and we have stuff for that.
[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
Despite the name, there is no such thing as a "4G" atrix. Its only labeled such because the US carrier AT&T is calling HSPA+ 4G even though its not. Just make sure any tweaks or roms you install are compatible with the international version of the Atrix and you should be ok.

I don't know if anybody has seen this yet.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/26/kingmax-flaunts-worlds-first-64gb-microsd-card/

http://www.kingmax.com/product_info.asp?fid=151&mid=185&cid=187&id=2104

I know that the max size that the 3D and most mobile products on the market right now can accept is 32GB but how hard would it be to change something around to make it accept a larger size. I remember back when I had the Titan or Touch Pro there was a program or script that you could run to let the phone see the new 16GB MicroSD cards when they came out.
[HTC EVO 3D] southern87:
That be interesting to be done. But How much does a 64GB one cost lol?
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
That seems very likely as it appears to only be a difference in filesystem (exFAT) as the physical interface/standard is identical.
[HTC EVO 3D] klbjr:
I don't know. They haven't released it to the public yet. Soon I hope. Probably gonna be about $200 that's what the first 32GB ones cost and a Class 10 costs about $100 now.

I hope so cause I need one for the 3D and one for my tablet. These 3D ROMS are huge!
[HTC EVO 3D] xjman:
Yeah, its sdxc. I doubt that is even going to function in anything for a while.

The largest sd card I've seen is 128gb
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
we can use the card if we can use exFAT.

SDHC (SD 2.0 standard) has a size limitation of 2.0TB, thus artificially limited....blah blah blah SD 3.0..... and now we are at SD4.0 whose standard calls for much higher transfer rates as well. If this card does not have the (much) higher transfer rates then it is a "SD 3.5" (not an actual standard) stop-gap measure...a hack.

So, yes, our phones either can or will support SDXC cards as high as 2TB, as file systems allow.

edit: I was wrong about classification, it is certainly standard SD 3.0
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
I still got 21gb left with music I need and all the apps, so I'm good with 32gb, i probably be down 15gb with roms and stuff but i don't see the need for it (myself)

If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d :P
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
The good thing about this is it should drive down the cost if the 32gb cards as these 64gb's hit the market. Probably not right away, but over time the prices will start dropping.

Sent from a Revolutionary, TWRP'd & s-off EVO 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] klbjr:
Specs from their site:

‧SD3.0

‧Capacity：64GB

‧Speed：Class6/Class10

‧Dimension：15 mm x11 mm x1.0mm

‧Wear leveling algorithm to maximize product lifetime

‧Built-in Error Correction Code that auto corrects data

‧Energy efficient, extends mobile devices’ battery lifetime

So it says its SD3.0 What are the 32 GB Class 10's on the market now?
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
SD2.0 (aka SDHC) I believe. But that is the upper limit of the standard. Keep in mind that these cards still operate as standard block devices at the hardware level. So SD3.0 is pretty much the same as SD2.0 except at larger capacities aka SDXC. There is nothing separating SD2.0 and SD3.0 cards except size which is artificially restricted based on file system...thanks to Microsoft.

SD4.0 is where we get SSD like speeds. EDIT: and those will not work in our devices...maybe at lower speeds, but not 100mbit/s

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xtacy!:
A similar guide/tutorial/how-to has been posted before (Here). Perhaps not as detailed as yours but nonetheless, it's been done. And do give credit to the necessary people. :)

But good job on taking the time and writing this up. I'm sure a lot of Neo users will appreciate it.

Cheers!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Vorsprung:
Actually, I did link directly to the thread you wrote, because it was one of my starting points. And to be rigorous, the steps enumerated there are from here, but with the firmware for Neo. The real credit goes to the programmers of Gingerbreak, Flashtool etc.

Like I said, I was just gathering information and detailing them, I don't take credit for anything other than taking the time to write the post.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xtacy!:
Yup, I had actually included that initially i.e. that most of us already know these steps from the original thread but then wanted to give you credit for doing what you did. :)

And when I said give credit where it is due, I meant the actual people behind the programs and kistigun for his tutorial.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcindpol:
guys after i root my neo according to this guide the ota firmware i get will be unbranded? right?

By the way thanks for the guide, i might use it one day after i gain more knowledge about those things...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xtacy!:
If you've flashed the generic firmware, then yes, you would be unbranded BUT you will still be locked to your network until you purchase the unlock key.

Unbranding would remove all your network specific apps (part of bloatware).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Vorsprung:
An OTA update won't remove the branding, but flashing will. It's what I describe in step 5.

I was just like you a couple of days ago, but I managed to learn all this over the weekend and did all I described here. (and a few things more :D ) Don't rush into it. Read everything coherent and helpful you can find first.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Vorsprung:
Thanks for the info. I didn't have any network locks or branding on mine, but it's good to know that for future reference.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcindpol:
ok i think i understand now, but just to clarify:

if i flash generic (unbranded?) and then do the OTA or Pc Companion update, the update i get will also be unbranded?.

also will all the future updates be unbranded too?

Another question: since my neo is Irish Vodafone branded phone, which generic software i should flash in step 5?

Thanks a lot for help and please do not get annoyed by my questions as i am totally noob when it comes to those things:), also sorry for my poor English...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Vorsprung:
The answer should be yes to both questions. Once you've debranded your phone, it will not get "rebranded" (except if you flash it with a branded firmware). The generic firmware linked here is of course without any branding.

You could use the generic one, but you will lose the branding. I'm guessing you don't have a problem with that. :)

You're welcome! I'm not exactly experienced myself, so I don't guarantee that my answers are 100% accurate and correct...

I don't think your English is bad at all. Don't you speak English in Ireland? :)

Can anybody give more details on the branding issue?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcindpol:
Thanks a lot for the answers:)

hehe yes people in general speak English here in Ireland but lets not forget there are thousands of emigrants from around the world living here too, i am one of them:)

Can you please also write which generic firmware should i flash, UK, World or any other? (perhaps there is IE one?), and will it affect the frequency of getting future official updates from SE? (yes i want to get rid of Vodafone from my phone and stay with a 100% SE official firmware).

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] xtacy!:
Once you flash a generic firmware, future updates will all be generic updates as well.

Some of the plus points that I can see of having a generic firmware is that

a) updates are rolled out faster (as compared to branded firmware).

b) you get rid of a lot of junk that network providers seem to put in i.e. bloatware.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcindpol:
OK I am now on generic, unbranded Global International 1247-0875_R11C , of course 2.3.3, however I did not root my phone and used SEUS instead OTA.

Did you use the generic firmware linked in my original post? If not, try using it. If yes...then I don't know. Try doing a hard reset ( = taking out the battery while the phone is running and waiting a moment, then putting it back and restarting) and checking for updates again or try doing everything again.

Maybe someone else on this forum can help?

Please report back if you were successful.

If I just got the phone brand new out of the box and the only thing I've done is inserted my sim card which has contacts and haven't downloaded or installed anything else then what do I lose if I flash with wotanserver and don't make a backup?

Also can I use PC companion to make a backup or does it have to be using something like Backupmaster on the android market?

Does the wotanserver flash wipe SD card data as well or do I not need to worry about losing that?

Thanks, I flash again with this method and now I have 2.3.4 version with root.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] MoridinBG:
Any alternative method for 2.3.4? I have a (brown) pre-release Xperia Pro (Neo with a keyboard) and as it is updated via EMMA and not OTA or PC Companion I am unable to revert to 2.3.2.

In 2.3.3 I was able to "adb root", which was enough for my needs, but since the latest update is the firmware with which the phone is going to launch, adb reboot is disabled...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Vorsprung:
I'm not sure what EMMA is, but why can't you just flash it with FlashTool?

I am not familiar with other ways to flash the Neo, or the Pro.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] MoridinBG:
I can't mainly because there are no images for the Pro (MK16i) for flashtool. And it's a brown signed phone, which needs firmware signed with brown (engineering) keys.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] MoridinBG:
