[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShyamSasi:
Galaxy S such device have less customization so it's similar to the vanilla Gingerbread and they are port from older Samsung devices which is quiet easy for a developer becuase most of the drivers and other frameworks are the same. But Xperia Arc we have lot of new customization like EXMOR sensor, etc. which we need drivers for, and lot of those drivers are not public so developers are working hard to get that working. And porting other ROM are very difficult and time consuming process.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rYuuk:
Thanks for the reply , now I got it. Can u tell me one thing , that y devs are trying to port cm 7 first ,y not any other ROM? Is this means that cm 7 is best ?

Also if they are successful in getting drivers in CM 7. Then could these drivers be used in making other ROMS ?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShyamSasi:
Yes. CM7 is the best custom ROM. Other ROM there won't be much difference same CM7 based few apps add or removed, zip align, custom theme etc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreyGhostRos:
Yeah..

Xperia has a few new things.. Exmor R sensor.. The thing behind the great camera we have :D

Even the Radio had changes for which the CM drivers not compatible.. which I think they recently fixed in FreeXperia and CM..

CM gets fixed cos it is one of the most used custom ROMs and supports a lot of devices.. A lot of the other ROMs are just small changes over stock and a few others build over CM ..

I am a noob, so please forgive me if this is in the wrong place, or already out there, but i havent found anything i can reply too, or related to this model.

I have rooted with superonelick2.1.1

running android market 3.1.3

everything is fine, but I cannot download some apps. The market says "device is not compatible with this item".

I found a post in the market help stating it is due to the screen size and or version., but the factory OS 2.2 should be fine.

I am looking for a workround. The market must be reading a signature somewhere on the device. The market "website" detects it as "T-mobile mid1024".

I did see an XDA post about a phone instructing to format cache partition with CWM. I am not using clockwork mod as of yet as I have read it will brick this device.

Thanks

[HTC EVO 3D] Meanee:
My phone started to show erratic touchscreen behavior. A lot of times, it makes it look like something is touching it slightly above back button.

Sense zooms out when I touch the screen, email goes "back" and a lot of times, impossible to unlock it. Reflashed back to stock, same thing. Works fine for 5-10 minutes and then starts these issues again.

Any tips on what I can do?
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Its a frequent problem with a lot of handsets, try a different kernel besides the stock one. I returned mine because of that, and the replacement had the same problem

Some of the cooked kernels eliminated the issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] wasupwithuman:
Wife had the same problem returned it and new phone is fine
[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
This may sound stupid but make sure your screen is clean if it gets to funky it confuses the multi touch
[HTC EVO 3D] Meanee:
Screen is clean. Made sure of it. I guess I will take it to Sprint store tomorrow and hope I won't get 1.50 hboot replacement.
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
Same thing here, started yesterday. No matter what ROM I put on the phone. RUU back and back to S-ON, same thing happening. That was last night, now today I am ready to take to Sprint and I can't get it mess up now! Phone was pretty much useless last night, and fine today, frustrating! As soon as it screws up I am heading back to Sprint with my S-ON self for a replacement!
[HTC EVO 3D] beyond882001:
This happened to me 2 days ago, I tried everything. My problem started when I dropped my phone with a tpu case. Nothing happened and I thought I was in the clear but my touchscreen stopped responding in the center of my screen. It was if the screen had a contact always being touched. I was going to put it up on xda but when i got to the sprint store they exchanged it no questions asked. For reference I downloaded touch test and multitouch test and showed them at the sprint store. The person at the repair center did say he saw about 10 EVO 3d with this problem. I thought I was going to be SOL
[HTC Desire S] burleanu:
Hy to all

Does anybody of you have noticed that the device wakes up alone the display for a fraction of a second every 30 seconds. Have seen this thing happening in one evening, watching tv with light off. What is strange, is doing only when gsm is on, for example if I activate flight mode it stops.

Another strange phenomen is that, as far as I read the current widget the ma consumed in flight mode are bigger then in normal, with radio on. E.g. 16ma in normal with mobile data and WiFi off, only gsm on and around 60-80 ma in flight mode.

Can somebody explain how and why, and how I can trace that.

The phone is on default, so no S-off or route or anything, and also no branding, is bought on Vodafone but clean.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Hello, I'm afraid that I can't explain the screen flicker you're suffering from and I don't get it myself, but, I know that others have complained about it before, so there are existing threads that cover this, although I don't recall anyone linking it to only to when GSM is on, so you may have made some progress there :) !

Airplane mode....there is something very wrong on all our devices here as I find that Air plane mode consumes about five times the power that normal mode does. In fact on mine phone and wi-fi consumes five time less power than Airplane mode - which is just stupid. :eek::(

I use Battery Monitor Widget over current widget as I find that CW clocks mA figures twice as high as BMW, you can use the maths function in CW to half the readings if you like the application. With phone and wi-fi idling my phone consumes about 6mA on CW = 12mA. In airplane mode the device consumes 35mA. :mad: Again there are plenty of other threads where this has been discussed but to my knowledge no one has yet solved it.

See here in this post regarding screen battery usage this is CW versus BMW is discussed

EDIT: the airplane issue doesn't appear to be RADIO related either as I've now used every radio there is including the latest one just leaked earlier today and the problem is still there - no change, so it's got to be ROM or kernel! Do people on non Sense ROMS, with non HTC stock kernels still suffer this problem?
[HTC Desire S] mzr9mm:
I have the same issue with the screen flickering, it does not bother me that much but I noticed it. I looked around for a fix but came up with nothing.

If anyone knows how to fix this please post a reply.

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
I have said this in another similar post before....

Screen flicker can be caused by some Apps requiring the privilage to prevent the device from sleeping (basically a "Wake Lock"). If an App requiring that privilage has not be written properly, it causes the screen to flash on briefly, then back off again.

Whilst you may not find it annoying, it does actually increase wear on the backlight, as well as causes a spike in power consumption. Any momentary spike on the battery is a bad thing!

Take a look at what Apps you're running, find those which require the permission to prevent the device from sleeping, and begin either Force Closing them, or temporarily uninstalling them (one by one) until the Screen Flicker stops.

If you remove a certain App and the flickering stops, you know what the culpret is and you can report the bug to its devleoper(s)!
[HTC Desire S] burleanu:
Come back with the same question

Hi all,

I came now back with the same question - screen flicker during sleep.

What do you find on your device?

I had been trying nearly all the roms available, and from what I had seen all do the same, from stock to the alfa tests with ICS.

I curios does nobody notice that, its only me?

No mater what applications are running or not (I kill them all - via running services not task manager) but the screen is still doing. I start to believe is normal for android, something the same like the consumption in airplane mode bigger then with the phone active (another thing completely abnormal).

Wryly is no solution for this.

PS. Just for my curiosity, regarding airplane mode, the tablets with no phone/3G capability, consume the same? I mean more then the one with 3G, when they sleep?

Respects!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
The screen wake problem is well established now, and described by many users...and as far as i can see it only affects some devices (for example, ben_pyett is on Endymion - same as me, but hasn't reported a similar issue - and he's a pretty astute observer IMO). There was a thread where we had discussed it at length but i don't know where it's lost in all the cacophony on XDA.

EDIT : Found it!:D

AFAIK, it doesn't affect battery life, as i have stellar battery performance. And i'm almost always on Endymion, which is where i see this screen flash thingy mostly.
[General Questions and Answers] ajeesh.m:
Hi all

i have W8. and i tried couple of custom roms designed for X8.

floyo 1.0 was the last one i tried with success.

Yesterday i tried HTC salsa. Then the issue began.

my SD card is not getting detected in phone and i cant access card by usb cable.

The card is working fine. i connected to pc using card reader.

and copied another rom cm7-138. then rebooted phone and installed cm7 from

xrecovery. ----Xrecovery is able to access sd card----

but again after the installation was over, i cant access sd card from my android.

still xrecovery can access it.

using SEUS i flashed back to factory os. then everything is working fine.

any idea what the issue might be ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tosh_:
Hi. Got a GSII from T-Mobile a few days ago and (obviously) went ahead and rooted it. Then I noticed I had a dead pixel and T-Mob are going to swap it over since I'm within the 7 day period. I have unrooted and used the GS jig to reset the insecure kernel download number. I then downloaded a secure kernal and flashed using Odin.

In my settings, however, it still says:

Baseband version: I9100BOKG1

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606root@DELL101 #2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.BOKG2

Would anyone be able to tell me how I get that information to show I have an untampered with device? I feel like I'm missing something pretty simple (or it can't be done)

Thanks :)

ps - sorry if this has been discussed before.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparksltd:
What is the kernel you used to flash back to stock?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Flash a full stock rom not a kernel .

Reset rom counter to zero with usb jig .

Thats all you need to do .

They might query KG2 firmware with KE2 kernel instead of matching KG2 kernel .

[LG Optimus 2x] fcuk90:
it is a wise choice ? i heard there so many problem with o2x but it is the cheapest dual core phone out there.
[LG Optimus 2x] CyranoB:
I was just thinking to do the opposite! Upgrade from the o2x to a nexus s...

It may be a dual core but with the official firmware only one core is visible. Plus all the problems with the radio and regular reboots...

Latest roms based on GB leak seem better so far. So there's maybe hope at the end of the tunnel.

CM is still not stable enough and is missing some features.

I would wait if I were you.
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
i would do it, stock rom is okay if you install launcher pro, but i use cm7 and for me its very stable and 100 times better then other roms. and i never had a rebort or any other problems.
[LG Optimus 2x] rudeboy150:
Yea I'm on a ox2 from a samsung galaxy s and its worked out well on cm7 so im happy with it
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Not even close to being true. :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] diesel2k:
Upgrade from nexus s to 2x??? Once the 2x receives gingerbread the nexus will probably be running ice cream sandwich.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
And then the people on CM will get it pretty soon after, not a huge deal.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Indeed true :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
So final solution having one more core for cheap price is always good deal.
[LG Optimus 2x] enigma00:
The opposite wouldn't be an upgrade.

You are not even making any sense. "Only one core is visible"? Visible to what? Maybe some outdated app may not represent it correctly, but rest assured that both cores are working.

CM *is* stable. In fact, the nightly builds have been more stable than the so-called "official" ROMs from certain OEMs. Missing features? There are only 2: the A2DP BT profile and FM Radio.
[LG Optimus 2x] drcorwe:
The myth that Android 2.2 makes more cores than one useless is continually perpetuated. It's incorrect as you pointed out, and people should check their facts.

However, CM is not stable on my O2x. It often black-screens when charging with wall charger, and sometimes black-screens for no apparent reason. Other issues for me are that the sound quality for the other party is plain awful, regardless of what basebands and RILs I've tried. Using BT headset fixes that however.

This might be my device that's defective (regarding the crashes, the phone sound quality is quite known), and yesterday I installed the latest stock for my region (EURO Open) to see if that indeed is the case. The latest stock here (10D) doesn't feel very slow, and the phone sound quality has greatly improved.
[LG Optimus 2x] enigma00:
I should probably count my blessings because I have not seen the issues you describe, with either the stock ROM or CM.

I can speculate HW issues (e.g. LG's manufacturing defect, nVidia's or other suppliers' defect, or just plain ol' HW revisions) just based on the fact that some never had it while the others continue to experience the problems.
[LG Optimus 2x] CyranoB:
Let me re-phrase: "using a o2x with a stock rom doesn't feel like using a dual core phone."

With the original rom, the o2x is far less snappy than a Nexus S. LG O2X can show up a better hardware on paper, but the crappy software implementation makes it feel far less snappy.

CM is still not stable for my setup Phone/Baseband/Provider. I always had diverse problems, from nightly #1 to #127 (didn't test them all of course). Now this is not to criticize CM: they never pretended to be stable and are for sure doing a incredible job with what they've been given. But someone coming from Nexus S cannot expect the same level of stability. It's up to you to see if you can live with it or not.
[LG Optimus 2x] fcuk90:
well . i guess i need to wait and see first .

yeah nexus s is fast and stable , load it with any custom roms , it is great .

thanks for you all comment and reply , it is because o2x is the cheapest dual core phone out there.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
Cant we just put the samsung's rom from the galaxy r on it? ahaha:p
[LG Optimus 2x] whc:
Personally I went from O2X to SGSII to NS and now back to O2X.

NS (Nexus S) of the tree I had, none where ok, first flash not working scratching sound on phone. Second allot of pixel errors. Third one pixel error bad built quality. After all the O2X is a great combo of features, great built quality, and gingerbread just around the corner, would not hesitate a bit getting the O2X over the NS.

I'm searching for those people who have root their phones.. if you are the guy and willing to help me... please email me... I just need your help for about 10mins only... PLZ

ANYONE root his phone already? I need Help...

Very easy...

Steps: You need to

1. root your phone first..

2. install ASTRO File Manager (by metago) or other else

3. install SMS Backup & Restore created by Ritesh Sahu

4. backup all your messages by using SMS Backup & Restore and name the backup file as 1.xml

5. using ASTRO, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ and you will see a db file called mmssms.db (it is the file where all your messages stored in the phone)

6. copy the mmssms.db to your sd card (anywhere, as long as you can remember where it is)

7. copy the MMSSMS.DB (my db file, will be sent to you later if you can help) and paste it in the /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

8. then go to messaging, check if my messages can be shown at there

9. if yes, please backup it by using SMS Backup & Restore and name the backup file as 2.xml

10. then by using ASTRO file manager, go to /mnt/sdcard/SMSBackupRestore, you will see 2 xml files, (1.xml & 2.xml)

11. please send the 2.xml file to me, thank you.

12. Recovery! go to messaging, delete all messages (my messages), then restore it by using SMS Backup & Restore, choose 1.xml

13. If failed, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/, replace the db file by your own mmssms.db file which is stated in step 6...

Anyone can help me?

Some of the messages inside are my beloved messages. I wanna keep it..

if you can help, add me in Facebook (Kh Coon)

or reply me at here...
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:

[Xperia Arc General] Nirak:
to backup you sms messages you don't need root afaik, just download the app (SMS Backup & Restore from Ritesh Sahu) from the market and give it a go.
