[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laif:
I have the same problem, but the other way around. I have an I9020T which does not seem to work at all with AT&T. I've made many phone calls to Tmobile, to AT&T, and to Samsung's tech support. I haven't found a resolution, yet. The last thing that was told to me by the AT&T tech support person this evening, was that perhaps I need a newer simcard - one that is fully compatible with this newer model of phone.

I'm also prepared for the possibility that the phone has a hardware defect, however I don't want to send it in for an RMA until I'm absolutely certain.

Samsung (after checking my IMEI) has told me that the phone is definitely sim-unlocked and usable on any carrier.

A couple helpful hints when talking to any tech support person:

Make sure that they cross check your IMEI number. They have a database, and if they can establish some facts about your phone that way, it can really expedite the process.

Also, be aware that tech support people step through flow charts with you, and they usually aren't actually very technically savvy. If you can get them started on a constructive tack - they'll find the right flow chart, and you might get a lot more help than if you simply call up and say "it doesn't work."

[T-Mobile LG G2x] TJBunch1228:
Don't forget that the HTC Ruby is dropping soon too. It is really not any different than the Sensation plus has a better ffc. People will see both on a tmo table and undoubtedly choose the Ruby. Sensation is dead in the water as far as I'm concerned. I do miss the big screen but 4.5" SAMOLED+ should pretty much give me an eyegasm and make me forget about watching Netflix on my old Sensation.

Dear all,

I just got the Nexus S 4G phone from Sprint, and already updated it to 2.3.5 due to the weak signal issue. I noticed that USB tethering is not working since the beginning (2.3.4). I went through Setting, Wireless & network setting, Tethering and portable hotspot, and USB tethering, then enble it. The computer showed that it was connected with the phone, just no internet connection. Could anyone help? Thanks a lot
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtoysrock:
The 2.3.5 update blocked free tethering.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bondseven:
Bigtoysrock,

Thank you very much for your help. I still have two questions.

1) is it the 2.3.5 problem only, or USB tethering is never working with Andriod? I am new to Android, and I didn't get the USB tethering working with 2.3.4 either.

2) I know if I root it, I will get the mobile hot spot working with 3G only. Will the root also give me the USB tethering?

Thanks a lot,
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtoysrock:
As far as I know 2.3.4 worked and not sure on the second question as I don't use the native app for tethering. I do know however that pdanet works for usb tethering. When you root it comes with the one click root package to give you the correct drivers. I would try it for you but I am not on the stock rom.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
If you unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery Peter Alfonso created a flashable zip the fixes native tethering in 2.3.5

I tested it with the wireless native app not the wired but should work for both

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bondseven:
Thank you, Bigtoysrock and Jackslim. I will root it with Peter's method. I will report whether it works with USB tethering. People reported that they have wireless tethering working. However, nobody talks about USB tething, :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
I remember there's a way to usb tether your phone without the need of rooting using proxydroid

I did this when my EVO was replaced with a new one that was unrootable at the time

You can find proxydroid in the market for a free app and use their wiki for details on getting your computer setup

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] raduque:
Learn to code and port the rom yourself, or wait for somebody else to do it for you.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
It's tricky because the Sensation has a higher resolution for a different screen size than our phones, so a direct port wouldn't work very well. What we NEED is a port of THIS!

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I know one dev has expressed an interest in this, but it's not the top thing on his project list and I wouldn't presume to speak for someone else in that context - so the idea is at least being tossed around on some level.

That being said:

7 months ago I knew nothing about coding for Android - I was strictly a user, and barely knew anything about how Android actually worked.

We always welcome new developers of any talent or skill level here, and are happy to help people who take the initiative in learning how to do this stuff.

You should try your hand at it, it's not as hard to get involved as you think. You have a goal - a port of a ROM from one device to another, so learn what it takes to get there.

Start small, learn how to mod one thing on your device successfully, and keep learning in small steps one thing at a time - it's a whole lot of fun and you'll get a lot out of it.

XDA exists not for the end product, but how to get there. The journey is much more prized then the end result.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gixer131:
First off i want to make known that I have been on may different custom roms & just comming from RCmix 234 2.7.

The other day I tried using cwm to restore a previously saved rom that I had backed up & switched to many times before but I would not work. Then today I tried to go back to a previous version through recovery, which I have done in the past. (I Believe I was having superuser issues)

I have tried multiple different roms & the device keeps getting stuck on the white HTC screen before going to the bootloader screen for the particular rom I am trying to install.

I have even started over again by going back to basics.... PD98img, root, s-off, eng-off, install root checker, & rom manager...... up to this point everything is working but If I try to install either via cwm, or through recovery I keep getting nothing but the White HTC Screen

Any ideas before I attempt to put all back to stock again.... & send in for repair?

Many thanks in advance.

Ok Now.... i have been able to restore the old backup I have using recovery, I attempted through rom manager but it would only just opened recovery so I attempted to flash any zip from a new rom...... but why wont it work as it would before? It only freezes on the white htc screen
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gixer131:
HTC White Screen

Anyone know why when trying to flash a new rom that it hangs @ the HTC White Screen?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gixer131:
System Partitions?

Since I all of a sudden cannot reboot after flashing a rom.... does my system partition free space of only 14.8MiB be the cause of why it wont boot fully when asked to re-boot from recovery?

Am I forever stuck with the backup I created weeks ago, its the only rom that goes to the boot img of the rom which is just past the white htc screen.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gixer131:
Thanks for helping.

Well I hope I solved it.... somehow Recovery seems changed to mabey a new version, & it seems that the roms I was using were ext3 roms & I was led to believe I needed the ext4 full wipes which modded my configuration to ext4.

Switched configuration back to ext3 & now roms boot up past the white screen.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowman110:
i have the same problem with this rom RCMmid3d Bliss i stuck in splash screen..i tried the recoveries 4ext and clockworkmod but at all i stuck there..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gixer131:
I found a fix.... restore your saved rom, assuming you have one.

1) Update cwm to the newest version

2) reboot into recovery & find the format ext3 option & format to ext3

3) Choose whichever rom you like (I went back to RCMIX 3D 234 V2.7) Install

4) Reboot & be rid of that pesky issue

Please hit the thanks if this helped!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stilleh:
Nice find!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jess086:
the 3.5 sense roms are temperamental at best to some users right now, though capy of rcmix with his new update seems to be working well just keep in mind its truly a beta still. as for issues with flashing and getting the roms to fully boot is mostly a recovery issue and that only. as long as u r not only wiping all before the flash, but also formatting everything there should be very little to nothing left that could cause any issues at all. i recommend first using ext4 for recovery especially if that is the type of roms u r using. if the rom doesn't format the system to ext4 and u have wiped with cwm recovery u could of reverted back to ext 3 and now your rom is going to loop or lock up for sure. u can always flash new version of ext4 if ur back ups don't restore also, this happenes if a rom manager update is an issue with ext4 and on a few of the old non-final versions. good luck, though u seem to be back up and running already

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ahm09:
well i tried it, and im sorry to say that ... but it doent change anything :confused:

Let me here give you and example of how bad is this phone battery situation is .

I have an HTC HD2 running android 2.3.3 and it has a 1GHZ processor which is the same with the xperia mini pro i bought , on the other hand the HD2 has 4.3" screen while the mini pro is only 3" so I already nticed after using the mini pro that its consuming so much battery than the HD2 but i wanted to be more specific so below are the details

HD2 Battery is 1230mA, xperia mini pro 1200mA ( Almost the same )

so I left both of them in idle for 8 hours ( wifi is on both have the same apps like facebook , google+, twitter, with the same update settings, )

the HD2 dropped from 82% to 71% in 8 hours in idle (Lost 11% )

The mini pro dropped from 100% to 50% in 8 hours in idle ( lost 50%) :eek:

for me this is a big gap between the two devices and to be honest i expected the HD2 to have a shorted battery life conidering its much more powerfull device and its 2 years old with the same 2 years old battery.

and i also noticed that during the test:

the HD2 never exceeded 10mAh consumption at all

the mini pro rarely went below 50mAh and the minimum was 26mAh

so i guess there is something that eats the battery during the idle time and it is taking alot of it comparing the two devices.

in fact when i bought the mini pro i wanted smaller device that will have a better battery life , but now its totally the opposit which make me confused.:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Smiley76:
Maybe very little actually.. but I'm gonna keep at manual.. no need to auto scan when I'm locked to one operator anyway.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Smiley76:
I have been struggling a bit too with battery life. But with my current settings I have 21hours since charge and I'm on 65%. (so thats about 2.1% each hour) But thats not standby only. I have been using connectbot, some browsing, facebooking, whatsapp.

wifi on all the time and push enabled for activesyncemail, facebook+googleplus+twitter notifications, whatsapp messages and gmail.

I have disabled 3G and set my operator manually and most important of all I have unchecked the Allow wireless network-option in Location and security.

Did attach two screenshots showing the battery usage. I had to connect the USB-cable to take those (with ddms) so it did charge for a minute or so (same thing abit earlier so it shows a small charge period for 1-2 min)

A bit funny also that it shows battery gain in two places (which wasn't when I had the device USB-plugged) and also it looks like something has been keeping the phone awake while the screen hasn't been on.

But as you say it's not very often down to 10mAh as you get on the HD2. (3rd screenshot)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ahm09:
WOW i really envy you now , i should find whats making mine drop that fast in idle while yours can last that long while using it. i will check the settings you specified and report back the results :(

I attached a screenshot of the HD2 idle usage
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GoBBLeS:
Wifi

I've found that the culprit for mine is the Wifi.

I went from ~8 hours to 32,5 hours(is just about to turn itself off) by turning wifi off and on only when I used it.

This is with me watching a 40 min mkv show, and playing myth defence for 30 minutes and a little talk and sms and searching the market.

Wifi location function has been off from the start.

It's a bit weird because on the x10 mini it turned off wifi when the screen timed out and it held for about the same time, so maybe it's a "feature" they forgot to implement on this phone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jtdc:
On normal usage mine lasts max of 2 days and thats pushing it. Normal use means I do browsing on it via wifi for maybe 10 minutes at a time per hour I guess. Will sync to wifi every 15 mins for 1 minute then off (via Green Power app). To help the thing, I am downclocked to 122Mhz on idle, max to 800+ on load via SetCPU, always on minimum brightness. Playing with autostarts too to disable apps to run and eat memory as well.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ahm09:
Something is draining the battery during the sleep and i cant find it. :mad:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jtdc:
Yes, this thing happens to me, 30% them immediately 1% and stays on for maybe 2-3 mins then dies (when in heavy use). I will recalibrate the battery stats when the phone is fully cycle charged (drained to dead, and charge on AC overnight). Hopefully should fix the issue.

Check the battery usage what consumes it (Settings, About Phone, Battery use).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Smiley76:
yeah. it died again at about 10%, I did plug the charger and switched on the phone and it went directly to 10% again. Unplugged it and it died after a few mins. Did pull out the battery and inserted it again and now it started to behave correctly starting from 1%.

Another thing I have noticed is that when it reaches 100% it starts to discharge until it goes down to 95% then it charges again (quite normal behavior) but the phone still shows 100%. So it could be down at 95% when you disconnect it but it starts to tick down from 100%. I did check the kernel source and it was a comment there that it should show 100% while still charging in that mode.

It's possible to see the real value when using adb logcat|grep charge and also betterbatterystats shows the real value instead of the 100%.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jtdc:
thanks for the tip will try that. i get that same thing too, dies at 30% but when charged, it goes up at 30% immediately hehe... well, i didn't went to extent remove the battery though. what i do know is to have "Battery Monitor" sound some notification at 3425mA. At that rating, that just means I have some time to look for the cable and charge it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tulient:
Side by side, the st15i screen is significantly brighter than the st18i screen at the same brightness level. Though the st18i has a higher resolution, its colors appear more washed out, in a way though that is easy on the eyes. The st15i seems to be brighter and perhaps that is hurting the battery life.

Upon further testing, it appears the auto brightness feature of the stock rom is doing this.

With both devices in a dark environment, the st18i appeared brighter, with the same brightness settings.

Unfortunately, there doesnt seem to be a way to turn off auto brightness on the stock rom.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jtdc:
Correct. That is the expected life. But I noticed that maybe we can extend it more (dunno how long) when we plug it to AC charger like for an hour or two, even after the phone went 100%. I will try this when got the chance (ie. coming from phone turning off due to finished battery). Reason is I set an alarm notification when phone reach 100% and then I take it off the charger hehe...

I have been using Cyanogen since CM6 and I have gotten to a point where I absolutely hate it. My GPS is hit or miss (usually miss), and 90% of the time I get a call I end up missing it due to my screen not waking up. I wont even get started on the FC's

So I am on the hunt for another good rom, there is only a few things I'm looking for in a rom other than what stated above to be working. GB of course, not a fan of sense roms, and it has to look clean. I am admittedly very picky about how my ui looks, currently I am using the Matted blues theme, with ADW EX and I exclusively use the hidden panel with a wood dock look to it, and I use the Faenza icon theme.

Im open to any and all suggestions, even if it is a sense rom, just help with a link to a SBC kernel along with it, because I know nothing of sense kernels. And I'm even open to MIUI if its finally stable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
If you wana stay on AOSP, you could try decks rom [a cleaned up version of CM7], salvage mod [bare bone AOSP], or MIUI...AOSP with a twist. If you want a sense rom, I'd go with the synergy-kingdom sense 3.0 rom.

As for kernels, for AOSP, I strongly recommend the Tiamat kernel, along with the vipermod. :) PM if you need anything else. :)
