[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
eh, i don't know really, i never really had an issue with it in the 1st place, but i guess it was a serious issue to the majority of the community, but it seems like it's just like it was before, working A-OK:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
My problem is that it is no where near as strong as my Evo was. Using wireless N router so it has some serious saturation. This thing still only gets 2 or 3 bars when I am -10ft away where my Evo was full bars around the whole house. Not to mention this bluetooth thing is really getting annoying.

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
hmmm, well, i never really pay attention to the bars as they are never accurate, my 3d gets pretty much full bars when my photon doesn't and they'll sit right next to each other, but they are still getting the same speeds, so i don't know, i'm more of a, it's working fine, the bars are just making you self-conscious kinda thing :D

P.S. i'm using a wireless N router
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Have you tried walking away from the router with both and seeing which one disconnects first?

I would be interested in that test :)

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
Eh, I can try real quick, let ya know in a minute
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Awesome! Although you will prolly need to go outside for this test :P

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
Well, the test is complete, and goes like this

From the basement right next to the router, both photon and 3D have full bar connection, as I went up one floor, the photon connection went to 1-2 bars, and 3D stayed full, same result when I got back to my room, neither phone lost It's connection to WiFi, but here's the kicker, the 3D was connected at 5Mbps while the photon was at 6, interesting don't ya think :)

Once Click Methond worked like a charm to regain root.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Moguledyouth:
All I have done is root using the One Click and it tells me the software update failed both times I have tried it. I don't have a custom recovery of any kind and I rather not wipe my entire phone for updates. Is there an easy way to unroot? That's all I have done yet for some reason the update has issues with it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ianford10:
Well it appears im having a couple of issues.

I flashed the stock recovery and then tried the update and it failed.

Flashed the no puddin sbf and got failed to boot 2, flashed puddin again and booted but still unable to install update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mdeezy:
This thread has a video on how to unroot --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1250697&highlight=unroot
[Motorola Photon 4G] Moguledyouth:
Thanks but no thanks, I DON'T want to wipe my entire device. I was hoping there would be something less drastic than wiping my entire device just to unroot. Can't someone come up with a one click that goes in and removes the root files and sets the permissions back the way they were stock?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mdeezy:
My bad I didn't think about that. I would assume that could be done however I haven't seen any mention of it here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] wotlos:
Sure, if anyone has the time and/or desire to.

Update

So I figured out what my problem was. I had used a program to freeze some of the junk sys apps on the phone, I unfroze everything and reran the update and all is working now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jorjitoc:
I was rooted via photon-torpedo method but did not have a custom rom nor did I unlock my bootloader. The update failed three times for me. I used RSDLite to flash the SBF (as instructed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202666). After running RSDLite it checked for the update when it booted back up and it successfully flashed the update on the first try.

I can confirm that it didn't erase data or my settings and I was able to re-root using Photon-torpedo method (the files were still there on my phone, just had to re-run them).

I wasn't having problems with wifi so I can't speak to any changes on that the update may have fixed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] snoopy1e11:
What about just stock rooted no apps removed my bl is unlocked n im rooted but running stock 45.2.5 will it work i havent tried yet
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I was asking the same question, and from all the answers I got, you have to relock your bootloader to do the update. Which is why I'm torn. I don't really wanna have to do all that **** again, cause it was kinda a pain in the ass the first time. But again, that's what I was told, you'll have to relock/unroot, update then reroot and unlock again. So it's up to you. I think all the update fixes is a WIFI error? Which I have, but not THAT worried about. And someone made mention of GPS?
[Motorola Photon 4G] justforflashing:
As long as you're not unlocked it will work. You will lose root tho which is simple to get back
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
not to be rude, but please read the entire thread, i've already answered this question :) but yes, if your just rooted then you can update fine, just need to re-root
[Motorola Photon 4G] justforflashing:
Why do people feel the need to post multiple threads of the SAME THING!?

There was already a thread open with this update posted. The OP of this thread doesn't even have the update even linked...it's just a DISCUSSION post...which I would assume should have went into the discussion forum. Just tired of having to filter thru multiple threads of the same thing!

(no offense to the OP of this thread) just sayin...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcchristopher:
For anyone who is contemplating installing this update, I had only previously rooted using the All-In-One One-Click method and ...

a) the update was applied successfully,

and b) I was able to re-root using the same method in a minute.

Life is good ...
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
I am bone stock w/ root using the 1 click.. the update failed to install for me 2 times..

I don't think it's working for everyone that is just stock/rooted/locked...
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
Did you do the hdmi webtop hack? If so then it will probably fail. Just head over to Yay 4 Juggs thread and grab RSD Lite, the drivers, and the CM5 SBF. Follow the instructions and flash the SBF (make sure to backup any data you wish to keep to your sdcard prior to doing this.) Once the flash is complete you will have lost all your modifications and will be able to do the update. This is what I did and I'm unlocked, unrooted, and running a custom rom. It all worked out just fine for me and I was able to unlock the phone, install custom recovery and make a nandroid backup of the newest ota update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
Stock but rooted using AIO failed for me too. Had to RSD. It seems random for some people.
[Motorola Photon 4G] GUARDIANBD:

[Motorola Photon 4G] laraiza:
Don't know if anyone noticed but I believe there was an update possibly with the stock video player with this update. I notice the icon looked different but I couldn't notice any other differences since I usually use quick pics media player.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lexcell:
I used the update and my WiFi is remarkably faster. A tad bit more faster 4G as well. I did pre and after tests to compare. A few other lags and bugs are now remedied. Had a small sync issue with email. I have 7 boxes and the device was hence confused at times.

Update: Combing thru the update, it looks like there should be some WiMax/4G as well as VPN improvements as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flipper12:
Highly probable. Although the official release notes state that improvements were only to address WiFi issues, there are usually additional minor enhancements/modifications/revisions that they may include but not provide notes to the public about.

Used this last weekend during the games. Great app design and awesome for keeping up with player stats during the game. Only issue was that the app updates live stats slowly. It does not appear to be real time stats. There is an update interval of about 15 minutes I think.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jon_Mull:
So i have been reading and seeing alot of people wanting a rom that ports honey comb to be compatible with the g2x... ive been reading all about how google hasnt released this yet and probably wont be releasing up until icecream sandwhich is released. But this is where my question forms, to port honey comb to be compatible with our device the source code needs to be found, the same source code used in development of apps for the 3.0+ os correct? i might of stumbled accross something but i doubt its a new find as im sure this topics been searched very throughly. Could someone please reply to inform me of what information is needed to begin development of a rom that ports honey comb to our phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
It was tried in the nexus one forum, there is a port but unfortunately not fully working you might want to search for it very interesting stuff and they managed to get pretty far along.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
As much as we would all like something new, honeycomb is for tablets. Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but it doesn't make alot of sense to me to port something meant for tablets and have to change EVERYTHING to now make it fit a phone. Not to mention the apps made for honeycomb are made for a big screen, which again we won't have.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jon_Mull:
dont get me wrong GB is fine with me till ICS comes out, i just read about people making new roms and there always being a honeycomb port request. and for the stated problem of the apps on honeycomb are meant for larger screens, would it not just make since to adjust the resolution in the framework down to 190 when the rom is being made rather than leave it up to the end user to do it? this is all just thoughts, and i wanted to see if i found the correct source code for whomever decides they want to attempt to build a rom off honeycomb, as stated i do not have the developing know how as of now to do such a build.
[Motorola Droid X2] TransX2:
Whenever I get photos off the internet with higher resolutions than 1080 x 960 and crop them to that resolution they come out a little blurry. I've seen other wallpapers that were very sharp so I know its not this display. Should I crop them to the correct aspect ratio then scale them to 1080 x 960 or what? A response would be much appreciated.
[Motorola Droid X2] navenedrob:
You want to crop them, not scale them. Scaling them will distort and compress the pixels, making it lose quality. Your probably saving the jpg at a low quality, save it at 100%, it really won't hurt anything :).

So I downloaded "android system info" and under cpu on processors I am getting a "1". Same thing when I downloaded the quadrant app. What are y'all getting?
[Motorola Photon 4G] abowlby:
There is actually only one processor...which has dual cores, right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yeah. Quad Cores are still single processors with four cores. But all in all still a single processor.
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
Ok that cleared the android system info app but in the quadrant it had "core:1" is that also the same? I was getting worried that maybe only one was working. Thanks for the replies.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
1 processor, 2 cores.

However, dual core phones only use one core at a time so it will only show it as 1 until the load increases to the point where your device starts using the 2nd core.

You're a genius! Lol thanks for the clearing that up.

I tried searching to install custom kernel , i couldnt find one.

1.) should i have to install/flash the custom kernel while i am at V5s and then flash V5c over it ? or how to proceed ?

2.) anyone on ULBL + custom kernel and find any significant or notable performance increase / stability ?

3.)Also can someone tell me how to remove "GET GAMES" , "EXTENSION SEARCH" & "MEDIA SERVER"(If possible) .

4.) Also is there a way to freeze "setup guide"

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ogbert_theNerd:
1) You can flash a custom kernel now, you don't need to flash v5.0c first

2) I get pretty good battery life with Freekernel and I suppose overclock would mean faster performance, but I don't personally use high frequencies.

3) Use Titanium Backup

4) I think Titanium Backup Pro would be able to
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveen_reloaded:
Thanks a lot first for replying.

1.)select a custom kernel ftf file and flash while in V5s ? and then flash a V5c after ?

do i need to check for signal / radio working after flashing a custom kernel or any other kind of procedure ? I tried searching but there is no proper installation instruction given . thats i posted here.

2.) to ULBL , do i have to be in any specific kernel ? mine is not network locked. also ULBL will prevent me from using SEUS for further updates ? or incase if something goes wrong , SEUS is the final hope to flash to a stock GB and get back to WB or any custom ROM`s now.

3,4.) Will Do with TB . I wanted to know freezing them wont affect the phone working right ? particularly "setup guide"

Again thanks for the reply
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ogbert_theNerd:
Before anything else, is your sim unlocked? If you used anything other than SEtool2 to unlock your sim, I don't think there is a method to unlock your bootloader yet. This link describes the steps and requirements. Follow those steps and you'll only need to downgrade your kernel to unlock bootloader. Then you can upgrade back to GB kernel.

Now if you can unlock bootloader, I assume you're tying to flash DoomKernel 5.0. Flashing custom kernel ftf file requires unlocked bootloader. If you've already unlocked, you can just flash that ftf. You don't need to mess with WB v5.0c at all. The only difference between WB's roms is that 5.0c already has DoomKernel 4.0b. Doom also provides wifi modules that you can flash via Xrecovery for working wifi.

If you have any problems, there's a tool to relock your bootloader.

I don't think freezing setup guide will affect anything, but I am not sure.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveen_reloaded:
really thanks for the reply.

I ran s1 tool and got the following

i think mine is not simlocked right ?

i will wait for ULBL for sometime .

can you tell me how to proceed to get custom kernel , either Doom`s or zKernel currently from WB V5 s . always WB used to say to boot and get the signal and then proceed to next step in some cases .

what exactly is the procedure to get a custom kernel on a WB V5 s.

Thanks for helping me out.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ogbert_theNerd:
If you're not going to mess with unlocked bootloader, it makes things a lot easier. You can just install a custom kernel through Xrecovery or just flash WB v5.0c over your v5.0s.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveen_reloaded:
actually last time i flashed V5c over 4.04 and ended up with bootscreenlock up.

thats why i wanted to know the exact procedure. when i flashed the wrong ROM over stock kernel last time , volpad told me to clear dalvik cache and reboot so that it will work , he too said V5c has its own Doom`s kernel , but it didnt work for me. I ended up using SEUS to get into Stock GB and get back to WB V5s now.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ogbert_theNerd:
Then your phone could just be incompatible with Doomkernel. The same thing happened to me actually. I installed v5.0c over v4.0.4c and ended up in a lock up. I took the battery out, put it back in, started up the phone again, spammed back button to get into Xrecovery and installed Goro's kernel. My phone then booted up normally. Since, you're on v5.0s, just install a kernel that's not Doomkernel through Xrecovery.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveen_reloaded:
well i didnt install V5c over V4c . I did a flash of V5c over V4s :(.

sorry for askingagain n again , since i am not quite clear.

V5s doesnt support custom kernel right ?

so if i flash a custom kernel then V5s wont be compatible right ? then i have to flash V5c over the flashed custom kernel right ?:confused::confused:

also do i need to to boot in to see if signal/radio works and get back to flashing other things , procedure like that ? ?:(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ogbert_theNerd:
None of that matters. Think of it this way, v5.0c is just v5.0s that already has Doomkernel installed. If you flash Doomkernel onto a v5.0s, then you effectively have v5.0c; however, since Doomkernel causes your phone to lock up, you'll have to choose another kernel. Here's Goro's kernel, which I have had luck with. Doomkernel FS series should also work, but it doesn't have OC/UV.

So try this:

1) flash WB v5.0s (which you already have, correct?)

2) reboot and check for signal, if you are concerned

3) reboot into Xrecovery and make a back-up, if you want

4) now flash whichever kernel you choose

5) reboot, of course if it everything boots up then you're good to go
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveen_reloaded:
Really thanks a lot ...

I think your reply here will serve as "HOW-TO" for many who seek how to install Custom Kernel and ROM.

yes i am on WB V5s now

one last question :o. After custom kernel (i will go with Goroh`s Kernel itself) installation , and after rebooting , should i have to flash V5c ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ogbert_theNerd:
No, do not flash v5.0c. That would overwrite everything and you'll get locked boot screens again.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveen_reloaded:
thanks for clearing the doubt. so if WB updates his ROM , which version should i choose next time ? s or c ROM ?:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ogbert_theNerd:
S-version should always be safe, but you would have to reflash a custom kernel afterwards. C-version may or may not be okay. Depends on what custom kernel Wolfbreak decides to go with in the future or if Doom adjusts his kernel. During bootup, Doomkernel briefly peaks at 1.228Ghz, which causes some devices to freeze or lock up. If you're unsure, you should go with S-version.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveen_reloaded:
thanks a lot. this might be normal , but last time Custom kernel in V5c ran few codes art boot-up and after that the lock-up occured , might be the problem you are saying here , peak of frequency.

thanks a lot for taking time and replying for each question.

will flash a custom kernel and report back with PM to you.

again , really thanks for all the help.:)
