THANK YOU!!!! This has been so infuriating! I've read about disabling fastboot in the past, but did not focus on it since I never had this problem. This is actually my daughter's phone. My phone has fastboot disabled, plus I always use Quikboot. I thought that maybe I'd been rooted so long that I must have forgotten all the fundamentals! Great, great thanks!

You are correct. I now have 6.16.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
I've just found out that the temperature sensor of the Play must be acting funny. No matter what app I try to use to measure the CPU temperature, I'm getting senseless values. for example, setCPU shows in its widget that it's 0 °C which makes.no sense. Does anyone have the same issue?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
The same here with setcpu and the battery says zero% left aswell?

Have you tried out minimal text of the market?

It's not really the CPU tmp but the battery tmp, it's just that the CPU is mounted close by. Seen alot of measuring in TMO (forum for Nokia N900) and it was never precise, just estimation.

Why you want to measure it?

Regards Dousan...

E: minimal text works it says 36 degrees on my play, if it's precise I don't know.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
I want to measure it because I want an estimation of how far I can.push the overclocking without overheating the device. I may even try undervolting later, but then I need temperature estimations too.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
I see, well good luck with that :)

Post your findings, that would be interesting ;)

Ohh did you try minimal text?

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Minimalistic text doesn't allow me to access there. You happen to have bought it, haven't you?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Try system Info widget, cpu temp meter works fine for me :p
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
The app doesn't seem to measure CPU temperature... the battery one is measured though. It'll have to do. Thanks!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
sorry it just say temperature :D

Must be new the donation app? I've had my free version since last year when i used it on my Htc DHD and backed it up with titanium and when i got the play i just transfered the tb folder to my play when i got rooted. That might be it that the dev removed some settings from the free version when the donation version hit the market?

I don't have a problem when I use the camcorder and playback movies, but I had a couple of dvds ripped to my PC. I just copied and pasted one to the external sd card just to see how it would play. When I try to play the file, the video is perfect, but the audio doesn't play. Also, when I try to play a video taken with our digital camcorder, it seems like its playing, but no audio/video is heard/seen. Am I supposed to convert these video files before I transfer them for playback on this phone?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] versus68:
Hello !

I'm looking for a way to unlock my SE X10i. Apparently, there is no way to do it for free.

I've found, on some forum, people who recommend Omnius. It would cost 17euros to unlock the phone with this software.

Is there someone here who have already tried it ? Does it works ?

Thanks for your feedbacks!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polycentric:
perhaps it would help!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] versus68:
Finally, my phone was already unlock !! :)

Weird, because french phones are usually locked and you have to ask your provider the code to unlock it (free of charge after 6 months of use).

Fortunately, I tried before test Omnius. I keep the thread open, in case someone tried Omnius and can give some feedbacks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferraripassion:
Remember this requires firmware 2.1 and you will not be able to use any other firmware.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semaster:
It is not true.

Omnius unlock = permanent unlock.

Once you unlock the phone using Omnius you can upgrade the firmware and the phone remains unlocked. Tested OK.

It's supposed to. It appears as "3G" when no data is being used, and when data is actively being sent and received, it switches to "H". If you're in a 4G/HSPA+ area, you'll receive 4G data, don't worry.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hans Schmucker:
Mods, in case this is the wrong forum for this kind of discussion, feel free to move it. I'm a newbie here and the rules are always a bit ambiguous until you get a feel for how that particular community interprets them.

The problem I'm having is this: My phone is rooted and I've written a short application that moves the apk of another application to the SD, replacing it with a dummy file that in turn launches my application.

Moving the data to the SD isn't a problem and neither is moving it back, but informing the OS that it has been moved back is a different matter, as the particular broadcast message needed to inform other applications of the availability is protected by a UID check which will only allow root or system to proceed. While I can spawn a root shell, I haven't found a way to make this shell interact with the Android system, so the broadcast comes from my application which has a non-system UID and is therefoe denied.

I know I could sign my application with the system keys and add it to the shared system UID group, but let's be honest: that's more trouble than it's worth and would require me to re-sign all system applications on any device where I want my little app to run.

So I need a few API calls executed by an application that is already owned by a system user; a mediator which listens for requests from unprivileged applications and, after a user prompt, executes them in its own context.

I'm quite willing to write such a mediator service myself, but I don't want to duplicate work that's already being done... does anybody else know about

a) methods that would make such a mediator unnecessary

b) existing mediator services available on custom ROMs?

Update:

Right now I'm digging through the app_process source code, as it interfaces with the Android runtime from C++, which might allow for executing Android code under the UID of a Linux binary...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jm6001:
I have a few "Digital Copy" movies that I have purchased and of course I had imported them into iTunes.. Now when I put them on my tab they never work.. How can we get these movies working properly? I tried to do some reading and it seems you have to convert the M4V files with converters that cost like 50 bucks.. Is there anyways to do this for FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God you pay for the media and they dont even let you watch it, ridiculous!!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxbat121:
Not sure what exactly you mean by 'digital copy'? If it is the digital copy the comes with DVD or BD disc, they are always DRMed and won't work outside of iTunes (or i devices) or WMP environment. You need to hack the DRM out of those files before you can play them on your tablet.

If it is a digital rip you created yourself, you will have to experiment with different video encode settings. m4v files with proper encoding works just fine.

Either way, you don't need to pay anything. Commercial software can't stripe out DRM (it is illegal) and most free converters can't deal with DRM.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] krips2003:
If it's not drm protected, then install handbrake on your PC or Mac, it's free, and convert it to mp4 or m4v format.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Entropy512:
You can only use those on iTunes/WMP, because they're not really M4V files. They're DRM-laden pseudo-m4v files.

Sorry, you can't use these on your Tab. Blame the media companies, not Samsung.

Handbrake is a free converter that works great but it doesn't do DRM either. (Exception: It can handle the rather weak CSS DRM implemented on DVDs.)

I have had success using DVDFab HD Decrypter to remove the DRM from Blu-Ray movies and then Handbraking the result down to 720p for the Tab.

I know its real world usage that is what we go by for performance but after the new ota all my benchmarks so far are good except linpack. Linpack scores are now almost half what they were before the update. Can anyone else confirm this?

Benchmarks arent everything but as a tool they can give us hints to any problems especially when scores are reduces 50%.

[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
I have the same problem. My linpack went from high 60s to mid 70s down to as low as 29. Usually around 40 now. Also noticed almost every test is inconsistent result.

Antutu score went from 4400 to around 3600 mainly due to float point score being greatly reduced.

I did a factory reset before the update and moved all apps and such to my SD. Once it booted up from ota it also won't pull my apps. Pics and music pulls but apps are nowhere to be found....not a fan of the update.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I know Quadrant is not a good benchmark but mine went down a little after the 2.0.x OTA as well. Was 2100. Now 2000.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
My quadrant actually went down quite a bit as well. I was getting around 2200 consistantly with every one around 2450 every so often. Now I am around 2000 or so and around 2100 on the high end.

I even had one that came in at 1442 and I was like WTF!

I noticed that smartbench is pretty much the same as always.

I am a bit curious to see if anyone else is having these issues as well though. It would seem that at least one other person has noticed it. Anyone else?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
It could be that they are allocating CPU resources differently now and the benchmark programs are not able to dominate one (or both) cores as much as they used to. That might not be a bad thing. I say that because, overall, the phone seems quite a bit snappier after the update. Scrolling seems smoother. Apps seem to open/close faster. Sense 3.0 just seems a little more fluid.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] b.huss2:
i got the same results with linpack. went from 60's to anywhere from 20's to 50's with the occasional 60's if i keep trying. very inconsistent. it doesn't feel slower though. on the plus side it seems my battery is lasting longer.
[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
Whatever they did it doesn't seem to affect real world performance on my phone, just crazy that the benchmarks have dropped so dramatically.
[HTC EVO 3D] jyazzie110:
Benchmarks dont mean a damn thing!___

R.I.P. HD2 hello EVO 3D!!
[HTC EVO 3D] xPSYCHOTRONx:
Im sorry benchmarks may not show how fast real world performance is but they can be helpfull, they can show us issues not shown. Linpack tests cpu calculations right? So after an update the score is cut in half so this could be a hint to an issue unseen by real world usage. I dont care whos faster or whatever but if i saw this happen on my gaming pc id be worried. Just sayin its worth looking into.

After I updated to Froyo, my corporate email no longer synced with my phone. If a new meeting request came in, my calendar would update, but I would need to get the email. Today I tried deleting and re-adding my account. Now it's back to the why it was before the update, I get emails on my phone before my Outlook client gets them.

I went back into my settings and noticed that my Inbox was set to Background sync (Folders.png). It was set to manual before. As you can see from inbox.png, there is no way of changing this setting for the Inbox like there is for other folders (projects.png)

[Defy General] evilsimon:
I installed CM7 7.1 RC1 yesterday and have a question regarding updates. I can see a lot of nighly builds (on quarx site). Can someone write/explain (or point me to thread [couldn't find any]) how to install newer versions (nighlies) over the working CM7?
[Defy General] nosklo:
The basic procedure is as follows:

- Disable USB Debugging

- Reboot to recovery

- When led flashes blue, press volume down

- Select "Custom Recovery", "Stable"

- Select "wipe cache partition" then "wipe data/factory reset"

- Select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select the nightly zip

- Select "Go Back"

- Select "reboot your system now"

Sometimes you don't want to wipe data; Just skip that step. If stuff fails, you can always try wiping data later.
[Defy General] evilsimon:
Great stuff! It's working. Didn't know that it it so straight forward :-).
[Defy General] 5starfish:
if you wanna follow the nightlies you dont have to wipe data on each update. you can keep all the apps and settings by only perform "wipe cache" then go advance and wipe dalvik cache.
[Defy General] chab7:
...and wipe cache, wipe dalvik is important for killing some bugs,as I experienced before install zip and once again after too.

[EVO 4G General] cleric05:
Well, I would format my SD card first, and if u want to partition the SD card, do it through amon_ra, then flash DTa2sd, its already on the shooter ROM but it isn't the newest beta... The newest beta allows for the datasd command, moving a lot of ur data to the SD card, but make sure it SD card is at least a class 6 or higher otherwise this could hinder the snappyness (is that a word?)
