Hi,

I cant really see the pictureproperly of failed repair efforts and other than showing your new x10 is working, im a little confused as to what we are meant to be seeing. Only so much detail a 4" screen will show. Would you mind explaining a little please? Sorry dont mean to sound stupid....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
I'm pretty sure it was some kind of failed JTAG attempt. Behind the sticker with the IMEI and such, there are some debugging pinouts for recovering bricks, etc, using some form JTAG method, I'm not exactly sure how SETOOL works. It involves soldering directly to the board, and, as such, can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

In the pic, you can see the pinouts that have been soldered to.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droooid:
I could not find an answer using search, so my apologies if this was previously answered.

I just purchased an unlocked SGSII (International version) and wondering if anyone had success getting it working with AT&T? I tried using a SIM from my Galaxy S/Captivate phone and changed the bands to 850/1900 in ServiceMode to no avail.

Can someone post working settings for phone and data use? Also, do I need to call AT&T to "activate" my new phone?

I added the APN like the posts you referenced, but the S2 still says GPRS and mobile network state 'Connecting'. My captivate just uses the SIM APN settings and gets UMTS/HSDPA.

Mobile network settings:

Use packet data - Enabled

Network mode - GSM/WCDMA (Auto)

Access Points -

APN: phone

MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

APN type: internet+mms

Sorry I should have been more descriptive in my original post. Baseband version is XXKH3 and I tried Cognition ROM to see if a different ROM/modem would help. Someone lead me to the Service Mode menu (*#*#197328640#*#*) to try changing Debug>Phone Control>Network Control>Band Selection from Automatic to just the AT&T frequencies, but that does not change the status.

Please excuse the noobness. Any ideas? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droooid:
Just an update.. it seems that the "International" version I'm using is the Korean/Olleh branded model (SHW-M250K). A couple of threads mentioned that it only works single (900) or dual band (900/2100) UMTS, which would explain why it is only connecting via GPRS.

[HTC Sensation] jonio298:
Hello XDA Forum! :D I hope everyone is enjoying their sensation 4g as much as I am. I really want root it to take advantage of the extended battery life and I would love to try out some roms. I just have a few questions to start off.

1. I bought my device without an upgrade or contract (i'm still paying for it) so I would like to know about the risks of bricking my phone. I bricked my last phone (mytouch 3g) and I really don't want that to happen again!

2. The usb drives on my current computer are not functioning. I know about ADB wifi and I was wondering if I could root my device through that.

3. What roms would everyone recommend?

Are you currently running Windows 7? You can just install Windows 8 on another partition and browse the partition with music in Windows Explorer. If you're upgrading (not recommended), then you can just upgrade and keep everything intact.

As soon as i connect my phone to kies, it pops out me this link that says a new upgrade is availeable. As i click on it. It says do i want to backup my files etc. Anyways. I tried both ways.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHildebrandt:
Hello all.... I have the opportunity to trade my Dell Streak 5 (unlocked), for a Galaxy Tab (7-inch version). It's a US aTnT version running stock firmware. I'd really like to have it..... but I would need it to work as a phone (using headphone), and on T-Mobile.

I don't have a grasp of the nuts and bolts in these matters, and upon some light research, I see this process could easily overwhelm me.... Question is this: Would it be worth the trouble to root, enable phone feature and then unlock it or should I just keep looking? Thanks all!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjIsD:
I just got on to see the same thing. I have unlocked rooted T-Mobile Galaxy S tab but have left T-Mobile and am with AT&T now and anted to use my tab. I was hoping to find somethng here before just sticking my new sim in. Chances are I'll do try it regardless. I'll post what happens once I do unless I read otherwise.
[Galaxy Tab General] 0okami:
The good:

-Screen quality looks good.

-Build feels solid.

- its quite thin.

The bad:

-No micro SDHC slot. >_<

I got a 16gb thinking it had it and that would add the 32bit card i had laying around ... Not happening. So this unit might go back in favor for a 32 gb model.

-To me, it feels a bit big. So, I might be looking at the 7.7 when it releases.

- hmm... Its a bit too thin.

Touchwiz -

I wonder if there is a way to get rid of it and run stock honeycomb. or at least speed up the animations from default settings.

Besides, that, its looking great.
[Galaxy Tab General] 0okami:
Update of first day use.

I noticed some stutter when swiping side to side and going through menus... Sometimes it felt sluggish.

So, I got rid of that touchwiz... I replaced it with ADWlauncher EX.

(No GoLauncher EX for this - i cant find it in market?)

The device feels unleashed now. Its really smooth and fast. (wallpaper is not aligned anymore but I will fix that later my self)

Its a WORLD of difference i tell you.
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:
I read few thread and tried like Calibrating Battery, Clearing battery stacks etc. I'm has flashed the ftf file and Pre-rooted image. The draining issue only happens if the WiFi is On. If I turn off the WiFi it works just fine. Otherwise the device will get heated and the battery will go down like crazy, Within 1 hour around 10% goes down when the phone is in idle. I turned off all the sync. I re-flashed the firmware as well still no luck. I only have Launcher Pro and Widget locker installed rest is stock. I removed few apps like Fun download etc. I also freezed Maps using Titanium backup. My only theory it could be a buggy kernel because it didn't happen in the previous build. But I also tired with DoomKernel (test version) no luck. I'm kinda scared to flash the old firmware back because I see lot of RED Light issues. What else you think could be the problem?
[Xperia Arc General] Abaddon:
try the stock kernel. remove unwanted apps from system or freeze them via titanium backup

try the manual network search instead of auto. and lastly try the stock kernel
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:
Just a little reluctant to lose the root :(
[Xperia Arc General] lupu666ro:
i have exactly the same problem with a NEO, all stock no root no nothing, there is for sure a problem with this firmware.
[Xperia Arc General] eface:
I'm still on the 2.3.3, but i have noticed a similar effect. This was caused in my case by my email program (com.android.email). By killing the service, the batterydrain went to normal. By starting email again, the batterydrain goes to around 10% per hour and a warm phone. Also there is a lot of bandwidth used!!! up to 20 mb per hour.

I finally got off my lazy ass and jus tremoved all my email accounts and am re-adding them now one by one. Up until so far, it does seem to work.
[Xperia Arc General] lupu666ro:
in my case, on the neo the bigges power consumption is coming from the android system, and i cannot stop that process :)

Everything else is fine...!!! I don't think that just keeping the wifi on causes such a battery drain for me, but yes if i keep surfing and keep my display on the whole time then it drains around 15-20% an hour...!!! Is that a problem...!!!
[Xperia Arc General] Mesho Arc:
I have the same issue, it started on .368 firmware.

now I'm getting weird battery status readings, for ex: when charged to 100% after few hours of not using it reaches 60~50%, I turn it off, pull out the battery and put back in then turn it back on, it shows 80~70%

im having serious wifi problems, anyone know a safe method to flash back? i just got my phone replaced to, i dont want to run into the 0% battery issue again
[Xperia Arc General] crimilde:
I have the exact same battery issues since .368. For example, I unplugged the phone 24 minutes ago at 100% and now it's down to 97% on stock kernel (.283) and with the screen off the whole time....

I tried the stock kernel as well. Still the same problem. I really like to know if it's hardware or software. :(
[Xperia Arc General] scampy:
I am having the same problem, with lots of heat generated when making calls so much it makes my ear sweat onto the screen. Also there is a huge amount of heat generated when i use data, the battery reduces at 1 % / minute when using data, and also quite a bit when im using the music player also. I hadnt noticed this before as i wasnt using it for every day use because it was sim locked. im scared to go back firmwares because of the 0% battery issue. Im not interestd in root is it ok just to flash back and not root?

I have the same problem, I turn off the phone charge unplug turn on the phone and charge again, also if you are running a battery app turn it off before charging
[Xperia Arc General] crimilde:
Thanks for the reply.

There are just the system apps, the keyboard, the clock widget, music player equalizer, e-mail client and setcpu... basically the same apps as before, as I didn't do any major change since I was on .145.

I checked for maps and it wasn't running.

I guess the battery life is indeed poorer since the last two updates, but at least they have better RAM management than in .145.

Anyways, I have a computer around most of the time (either at home or at work) so I can always charge it, but it's a bit frustrating to see the battery go down like hell when I'm not even doing much with the phone. I mean even a friend of mine who owns an SGS II has slightly better battery life, and that's a dual-core...
[Xperia Arc General] lupu666ro:
i'm all on stock and have this problem, and i'm sure this is a kernel/firmware problem that everybody has, just that they didn't realize it yet.... hope they will bring a new firmware out soon that will fix this.

[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
It's not great news. I am still on .145 and battery life is AMAZING.
[Xperia Arc General] adiktz:
Don't have anything like battery app installed...!!!
[Xperia Arc General] hygge:
This could be due to changes in the battery drivers algoritm on how it calculates each percentage. It might have been changed to have 100% at absolute battery max instead of having it hit 100% before the battery is actually fully charged. The charge current will drop and get lower and lower as the battery is getting full. It could continue for many hours if the driver would let it but it is not healthy for a lithium battery to be charged to its absolute max capacity.

This is one of the reasons you see the charging stopping and restarting all the time, the batterys life would shorten significantly if you kept the charge on the battery continously.

I am sure your battery is fine. The battery is continously calibrated everytime it is fully charged or discharged. Try to let the phone discharge to 0% and let it shutdown, then put it back on the charger and charge it up to 100%. That should have your battery callibrated.

Do not put too much into how long the phone stays at 100 before dropping to 99.

I would say 15-20% per hour with screen on the whole time plus wifi and surfing sounds good. The screen itself consumes even at the lower settings 10-15% per hour.

totally agree!

Hi

My arc (2.3.4 ,doomkernel v10 test) runs 17 hours average use ,mostly web and xda, not brilliant but does the day

When first flashed 2.3.4 it was 10 hours ,so I fully charged it ,wiped battery stats,let it die,then fully recharged and now have extra 7 hours

Prob not the solution for everyone but worth a shot
[Xperia Arc General] realfelix:
you all should try the following as it helped for me :

1. Charge your battery while OFFLINE to 100%(or when you think it reached 100, if not go into Android OS and continue charging).

2. Let the battery run down to 50%, shut the phone down take out the battery leave it for 5 mins until it gets cold, reinsert it and charge to 100%(while OFFLINE).

3. Let the phone run down the battery(do NOT use it aggressively e.g. playing alot of games, web browsing etc. just use it as normal).

4. When the battery reaches 10% or lower shut the phone down take out the battery and charge it to 100% again as this will set the cells properly.

Afterwards you can use your phone as normal but the best thing is to charge the phone while OFFLINE in all situations and when hit to 100 start it up and remove it directly from the charger.

Press thanks if this helped you out !
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:
Mine battery is a problem only when I turn on Wifi i.e. the phone will get heated especially near camera then the battery will drain like hell. But if I turn off Wifi and use data then oit only use 2% in standby mode after 8 hours.
[Xperia Arc General] realfelix:
Then for you it's software related.. where you comin from? and did you already try to flash another rom? like the nordic version or the generic world one?
[Xperia Arc General] lupu666ro:
as i said i have the same problem on my neo, but from what i see here people don't really understand the problem, i am sure that this is a generic problem that everybody has, and that can be tested by checking the power consumption of the android system in battery stats, charge the phone full, turn wi-fi on and connect to a hotspot and don't touch the phone for an hour, then check battery stats and you will see the biggest consumption from android system that keeps the phone awake when wi-fi is on, if wi-fi is off then there is no problem.
[Xperia Arc General] adiktz:
Thanks...!!! I appreciate the share...!!!

That ensures my battery is good...!!!
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:
I'm using generic world. Could someone give me the link for nordic version
[Xperia Arc General] hygge:
You are welcome :)

You can enter the service menu and check the battery health and general condition. You have under service tests an option called something like Test battery health. It will show approximately how much capacity it is rated at and its condition, it should show 15000000uAh and good state. This will drop as the battery is getting older and worn out or if your calibration is wrong.

I had mine show 13950000uAh until I let it drop to 0% and let it run until it turned off automatically, then put it back on the charger and charged it up to 100%, that changed my battery health back to 15000000uAh.

And as mentioned above, let it drain to 0% at light usage as heavy usage might make voltage spikes drop for short periods and make the phone believe the battery is empty while it still has some juice left.

It is normal for the battery driver to continuously update the calibration as the lithium battery capacity will decrease over time, the calibration is usually done when it is drained or charged to max.
