[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dagalufh:
Any news about this? I feel that mine is dropping rather fast aswell..

Saturday i installed 6.1, installed applications and used the phone.. At a total screen was on for 4 hours... After a total of 5 hours, the phone was down to 15% battery...

Does application installation take that much or is something not quite right? I feel that i had more batterytime with 5.2.4..

Now i can basically see the battery values dropping while using the phone.. I have current widget and sometimes when i start the screen and go to home screen it says way above 500mA, is this right?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chu_:
Well i don't have any issues, while using ARHD 6.1 with the recommended Radio
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dagalufh:
How have you managed to have Display use up so little battery?

Mine always has about 75% and up, at the least...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chu_:
I use Autobrightness with no Mod for lower Autobrightness.

I have nothing changed.

Flashed recommended Radio.

Flashed ARHD 6.1.

Done.

As you can see some harder Battery drops, while i was playing some Games. All time WLAN on. But i used it als always and had a very nice Battery expand.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dagalufh:
Hmm, How much time is your display turned on? as i said, this saturday after i had flashed i emptied the battery in about 5 hours with screen on 4 of those.. Feels like the screen is taking alot of battery but i guess.. I had full brightness, not auto..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chu_:
I don't know exactly but i would say display was active vor 15h+.

Autosync runs every 3h.

If you freshly flashed, it will take some time to stabilize. So maybe drain it until its empty/almost empty(10%) then get a full charge. Try to reboot and watch again. If you still have problems you schould install current widget and let i generate log. where you can see how much it drain if display is off and/or phone is standby.

If I put on screen from standby and check current widget i have 3mA/5mA. So if display is off the drain is very low.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
Do the drivers work?

Now is the problem updating the firmware?

If that is the problem now, can somebody with an 800i help out, i have the 800x and we don't have such things as MTP :p
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast_furious69:
Hi the problem still be the dam semc usb drivers for flashing the mobile only that because without them no way firmware upgrade even sharing files to se site...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
Extracted = installed? Cuz you need to install them on your pc.

Some people have had issues connecting in MTP mode. If you have installed the drivers then try to unmount the sdcard prior to connecting the phone to your pc.

Sorry man now it recognized like a camera dammm android drivers. Any suggestions?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
@fast_forious69 i just reread your first post. If you just want root then you should use flashtool to flash the UK generic .184 FW. Then root with gingerbreak and then without doing anything else update OTA to the newest 4.0.A.2.368 (2.3.3). The only way to preserve root when updating is OTA.

Further more you won't be able to root the new firmware if you upgrade without doing the above, unless you also unlock you bootloader. If you just want root there's no need for that imo. You can can always unlock later if you want to do other mods like custom Rom/kernel etc.

Anyway download flashtool and extract it to your desktop. Then install the drivers that comes with the tool (ggsetup.exe). Then download the UK generic .184 FW, extract it and put it in the firmware folder that came with flashtool. Hit x10FlashTool.exe. In the window that opens press flash and choose your FW and then tick 'wipe data' and then ok and just follow the instructions. This will wipe all userdata on the phone apps, bookmarks, sms, saved games states etc.

If you're already on .145 or .184 (2.3.2) then just download gingerbreak and root and then strait after boot update OTA. (I take that you bootloader is locked otherwise don't do any official updates hence it will brick your phone).

Sorry man it wanst for you but to another user before you :-o
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
Lol then it must be me. Well I'm a guy aswell... :p

Anyway mate you'll end up with the newest FW update if you follow my guide above (xLoud, themes etc. You won't loose warrenty for using flashtool on the other hand afaik you will when rooting or unlocking bootloader. That can be ereased by unrooting and locking again. Then nobody should know. Atleast i got my device serviced under warrenty that way :)

Either way you're welcome and you choose what you'll do. If you can't make pc companion work then you'll have the flashtool way to do it...

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast_furious69:
Hi mate Dousan, i've read your advice but not sure if i'll try to do it the phone is about one month, i've try the firmware way with Pc compainon it says my phone is with the latest update firmware ?!?!?! 2.3.3 wich i confirm in the menu of the Xperia now i'm in a dilema if is really necessary to flash it with the tools you recomend and loose my info contacts, etc... because i cant update the damn phone with sony ericsson OTA backup ! it only backup the bookmarks !!! don't backup my contacts calendar etc.

i've even reinstall Windows XP nothing now is a digital camera (MTP mode) only works acess the phone in MSC mode so only acess the SD card, a bit weird this android phone i've talk with some other guys in another foruns they say windows 7 it's better but my money now is not enough to buy a new pc, just don't no what to do .... maybe take the mobile to the store a see what's better.

by the way is the new things good Xloud new themes etc. ?

thx mate
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
The xloud is cool, the speakers are nice, loud and crisp now. Good sound. About the themes.. Meh, I only se the background change really, it's not like cm7 theme chooser nor the one I know from HTC. There's some other stuff too, apps and small tweaks. Haven't really gone through the phone and compared.

Well the work lies in flashing with flashtool, then root and then OTA. For me it's no biggie, but then again I've flashed my phones for the last three years now and things has been more complex than this and also easier. All is relative and what is easy for me could be difficult for and vice versa :)

If you don't feel comfy about doing it then don't. Take it to a certified SE shop and let them do it for you.

Regards Dousan...

Ohh and always glad to help out where I can :)

hi

my streak is heavy bricked

my computer was freeze during loading stock recovery.

now streak is like brick. computer can't find him.

i tried streakflash volume up+plug usb, but computer can't find any new device.

is something what i can to do, before sending to service?

many thanks for help.
[Streak 5 General] curl66:
there is a streak unbricking guide in the streak Q&A here at xda
[Streak 5 General] wojtas29:
Can you show me this guide please.

because i don't know what you mean
[Streak 5 General] djscopesofm:
dw dude all hope is not lost..

ive bricked my streak b4.. pretty badly like u said.. if u do enough searching around ull find a guide.. i did.. just dont remember where

good luck
[Streak 5 General] mitzilla:
Google multi recovery flasher. Load it on your C drive and open it in cmd. Start your Streak in Fastboot, connect the two via usb, then in the DOS screen select the recovery you want to try. You might want to scan over the instructions that come with it, but its pretty simple and worked on the first try for me.

Good luck!
[Streak 5 General] wojtas29:
did you read what i write?

power button does not work.

is not possible to turn on device, is not possible to get fastboot mode.

on board: Steakdroid 2.3

phone is bricked due pc failure during loading stock recovery.

what i can to do before sending this brick to service?

-just send, warranty will be probably valid.

-create other damage for masking unsuccessful flash
[Streak 5 General] Alahdal:
What does happen when you connect to the wall charger, does it recognize the charger. If your answer is no, then your device is totally bricked and the only way is to resurrect it using JTAG. BUT BUT, it is not sure that your mobile will be total functional i.e. you will not be able to use the SIM card. The device will be as WiFi only. Hence, it is better to send it to service if it is still under warranty.
[Streak 5 General] awexdasome:
Brick not!

OMG! your Dell streak is not brick dude. QDLtool is your best friend, now go and learn how to use it.

Here is the link: http://streakdroid.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=2

Download streakflash.zip and unzip to your desktop

Download qdtooll-to-309-repairtool.zip and unzip to your desktop

With Dell Streak in off mode, press and hold Volume up while plug in your data cable (I know you have done this ... yeah .. yeah)

Start up QDLTool.exe in unzipped folder streakflash and select RUN.

(should you get driver error then search, download and install then start again)

Start up QDLTool.exe in unzipped folder qdtooll-to-309-repairtool and select RUN.

On completion, Dell will boot into Android 2.2

Job Done.

FYi, my Dell Streak was in various dead conditions (including what your is now - by accidentally removed my data cable while flashing a new Rom LOL) and every times I was able to recovered with QDLTool.

If this is beyond then you are better of return it to base for service. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!
[Streak 5 General] muteman3:
streakflah obviously that can not be used. My advice is service. They would hardly know it is flash. Format your memory card on another device before sending it.
[Streak 5 General] awexdasome:
Not necessary, issue maybe drivers corrupted on the PC. Pressing volume up while inserting the data cable will have no response on the PC apart from a beep sound. It is only until QDLTool prompted Driver error otherwise.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
I have a couple of software problems on my Transformer, running HC3.2 (WW), wondered if anyone else is also seeing them, and if they know solutions.

1/ When using Google Music, the album art is constantly flashing, never ending. I have cleared the application cache and it fixes it for a short while, but then the problem returns. The application is barely usable because of this :-(

2/ When using Movie Studio, I can't seem to import any video, I have tried files in MOV format recorded on a helmetcam I have, and I have even tried video taken from my Android phone (HTC Legend), none of them import.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaperzero:
if im not mistaken the flashing screens in google music is due to the MP3 ID tags. do a forum search. you just need to reformat the ID tags

as for the other problem sorry haven't played around with that app yet
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyz3:
I will try this but i do want to add some other specifics for this problem with me. Google Music works great on my phone. My wife who has the Acer 500 and uses the same music files which is roughly about 10k in music - her gmusic works fine- even on her phone. Would the ID tags from the same music collect work on some devices and not on the the TF.

I am willing to try anything as this problem doesn;t always happen on my TF but enough to be a pain for someone who is always listening to music.

Because the amount of music is large does anyone have any suggestions on ID tag software which will be totally automated (as i wont have time to manually change things) especially if that is not the problem.

Thanks for your suggestions.

take a look at this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1259712

ah also i do remember that if i had the tablet docked and an SD card present in the card reader or USB stick it will keep flashing. its like the media scanner was going nuts trying to scan the other media.

edit again :p

ok managed to make it flash again. but this time the music is placed in the sd card of the keyboard dock.

seems its like the media scanner is not able to properly populate the archive and keeps refreshing over and over again @_@ reminds me of my old Motoxt720 rom with a funky media scanner
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyz3:
check and see if all the music on your SD have all the album art, if not try album art grabber and fix.

I have about 10k music in Gmusic and about 1500 on my SD card- There were about 25 that did not have album art. I figured i would try this first before dealing with ID tags etc.

I have had the random music flashes for a longtime and after a few nudges from people to diff threads i tried the album art and it seemed to stop right after doing it.

Now that could be a total coincidence but worth noting. I will report back if anything changes..

So lets hope you wont here from me on this subject anymore.:D
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Ok the main reason why I wanted to create this thread was due to following reasons that people complain about after they flash roms...

1. Many a time the rom gets stuck on HTC screen (bootloop) while the same works right for others

2. You get the same kernel and radio yet you find your cell to have more battery drain than others

3. Finally some strange fcs and restarts which works perfect for others...

So this is basically one of the most perfect way to flash a custom rom and is a way to help people who face such issues...

Please follow these steps in the same order (I'm shouting) :

1. Boot into recovery

2. Format System (not wipe option but format option !!!)

3. Format Data

4. Format Cache then Format Boot

5. Wipe Data/Factory reset (1st option in wipe/format menu)

6. Wipe Dalvik Cache

Next if you have some wiping utility like Full Wipe 1.5 Ext4 for Saga.zip...run that by selecting install zip from sd card and installing the zip...

7. Now install zip from sd card and flash the rom

8. If any kernel flash it as well

9. Now reboot (Note don't flash any tweaks like transparent notification except gapps if required)

10. Now setup your phone

11. Reboot into recovery

12. Now go into advanced fix permissions and then any tweaks you want (Note whether mentioned or not always wipe Dalvik Cache before installing tweak zip)

13. Voila everything would work perfect 100%....:) :) :)

Tips :

1. If by chance you stuck on HTC screen while flashing a particular rom then go into recovery again and flash a rom that was present on your cell previously.

2. Reboot into the rom (No need to setup)

3. Now reboot again into recovery...follow the above steps and flash the new rom again...It would work 100%.

* As per the latest posts by google engineers wiping affects the battery in no way...So these steps [ ] can be safely skipped...

[ 4. Finally a tip after you install a new rom recalibrate the battery....always...

Simple way :

i) Use the phone till battery < 10%

ii) Now charge it till it gives green light and shows 100% battery (some roms shows green at 90% so check if battery is 100%)

iii) Now switch off the phone and charge again till it becomes green again (generally it should in 2-3 min)

iv) Finally boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.

v) Done ]

But in case of battery drain you can just use good battery analyzers and check which particular app is causing it...

Also check the gps and sync settings for all apps that need internet which often proves the culprit as they are often set to auto sync by default...

Hope this guide helps and everyone can flash roms easily without any issues (except the ones present in rom :P :P :P) and you will get the best battery, speed and performance with this method...:)

Please feel free to ask in case of any doubts !!! :) :) :)

Thanks for this, I am sure it will help many people who wants to flash a custom ROM for the first time.

I know I would have appreciated it the first time I did it :p
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Well done

Can I suggest that you ask that your GUIDE be added to this [GUIDE] A Complete Tutorial for the Beginners and Others sticky thread so that it doesn't get lost and becomes a benefit for all, Although I'd suggest that it's simply referenced from that post rather than being copied into it so that you can still be the owner (OP) of the thread and have the ability to amend and edit it where you see fit.

Yup sure would do dat bro...:) :) :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Nice guide. I have one question though - if you're stuck on the HTC screen after a bad flash, (some may call it boot-loop) how can you go into recovery mode? Till recently, i just pulled the battery, put my phone in boatloader mode and went into recovery. Now, with the risk of pulling battery, i wanna know an alternate way to enter recovery, bootloader mode, or simply turning the phone off while on the HTC screen.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Thanx i hope it does...Ppl still find probs flashing from 1 rom to another...hope this would help them :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Here's an alternate and easy way to calibrate the battery -

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=search_result

Use this app. No need to go into recovery

-Charge the phone to 100%

-Then, without unplugging charger, click the "Battery Calibration" button.

-It'll give you a CALIBRATION SUCCESSFUL message. Then, unplug your charger.

@ben_pyett The key combo just reboots the phone. In a bootloop, it's of no use. I need to turn the phone off, or enter boatloader mode or enter recovery mode.
