[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlambrecht:
Sorry for doublepost.

I have reached a new checkpoint.

Flashed the rom, booted the x10, left it overnight, now I have a strange thing.

I try to power the phone on, and the LED flashes red 3 times and nothing happens.

I read that that is the sign of an empty battery, is that the case?

Thanks!

PS: When flashed, the battery had 100% (charged in another x10)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slikk76:
Led flashing red 3 times is just a dead battery. I have same problem as you, not booting up, vibes when u press power button, green light flashes then nothing..... seems like i tried everything. SEUS fails to restore my phone, tried 3 diffrerent flashtools with this firmware:X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200.ftf and sometimes it succeeds, sometimes it fails at "flashing userdata.sin". No matter what i try it just wont boot... NO SE logo just black screen....

Hi guys, I'm a photographer going on a trip soon so the quicker we can solve this the better.

Basically my HTC gallery no longer detects any changes I make to my picture folders or location.

It does not:

*Detect newly added photo folders

*Detect changes made to the location of a current folder

No matter where i put the photos, it doesn't show up in gallery.

Please help. I have done SD rescan but no luck.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agoattamer:
Have you turned fastboot off? Then reboot your phone. Or go to settings > SD & phone storage > unmount your sd card > remount your sd card. I would keep fastboot turned off.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leong428:
That seems to have solved it if any one has this problem in the future

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koningwatermaker:
Hi ya'll,

Just bought a Galaxy S II, was inspired by a colleague of mine who has the Galaxy S II.

He told me about rooting, flashing etc. So he told me to go to XDA.

Yesterday I almost read the whole forum over the SII. Rooted my device etc.

Now I have the Lightning ROM and the Launcher Pro and overclocked my device to 1504 Mhz.

So far so good. Really like the Forum already, there are a lot of simple checklists to follow so even noobs like me can have a start with customizing Android phones. =D

No I wanted to delete my Samsung Apps, but I read that some apps are needed for the device to run. So my question is. Is there some kind of list that tells me what apps I can delete and witch I can't without breaking my new SII.. xD

Apriciated the help. Thanks!

Joe, Koning.

EDIT: Sorry, already found it! For the one's who are new here too; It is in the apps forum direction..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anisbombaywala:

would you mind telling me if you removed "Social Hub"

I am trying to figure out if removing Social Hub was the cause of this problem...

There is no unlocking sprint phones, and you can only switch to Boost Mobile or Cricket Mobile. And that requires special instructions, and usually doesn't work 100%
[Motorola Droid 3] bfranclemont:
I am being denied posting abilities on that thread because I don't have 10 posts yet, soo....

Question on the file that was uploaded, when i unrar it to its .zip format, the file is titled "Blur_Version.5.5.959.XT862.Verizon.en.US.zip" not "5.6.890" - how is this the real official OTA then?

And, it is also larger than the leaked 5.6.890 from earlier this month. Is it really legit, and if so, why is the .zip file titled wrong? Sounds fishy IMO.

EDIT: I was wrong, it's the same size as the previous leak. I'm still confused on the naming tho.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
It's named after the system it updates.
[Motorola Droid 3] MadderThanMad:
Noob question

How do I apply the "official 5.6.890 (download link)" update to my phone? I can get into CWM recovery but when I choose to apply update the only options are /sdcard/update.zip or no. I assume I have to rename but want confirmation that I'm doing this the right way before proceeding.

[Motorola Droid 3] dlucio:
adding this, is this update for XT862 only or it can be also for XT860, i own 862 but you shall be clear

also can anyone post md5 so we can be 100% sure?
[Motorola Droid 3] joeyx2:
I seen someone on the official post in development forums that it is the same MD5
[Motorola Droid 3] bfranclemont:
update does work

Thanks for the replies. I couldn't wait for VZW to decide when my time has come so I downloaded and installed the leaked "official OTA" last night anyway. I didn't have any bloatware frozen or removed. I just root access. The update works great so far. :D

after the update:

Root access was removed. GTalk with video is now enabled and battery statistics actually make sense now (shows Android OS as the highest usage, along with others i was used to seeing on my D1).

I never noticed any "Blue" hue in my photos prior to updating so i don't have any feedback on that.

My physical keyboard hasn't had any "stickykeys" at all so far. Prior to the update, it was happening almost every time i used it. So to those who blame it on a hardware issue... not sure if you're all correct on that. :confused:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Well, this has been happening for about two days now. My mobile network will drop out and I have to toggle airplane mode to get it back - only to have it drop about 5 minutes later. It's getting really annoying. I am rooted, but that is it. Nothing is frozen or removed.

Anyone else having this issue? I'm wondering if it's Verizon in my area. I'm going to SBF (FTZ) later tonight to see if it fixes it.

Thanks.

EDIT: Not Verizon. Other work peeps who have Verizon have perfect service.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Does anybody know the *228 way of activating a SIM based phone? I'm guessing it has to do with flashing the radio FTZ file via RSDlite.

Also bumping this. Data seems to drop whenever the screen shuts off. I have zero applications installed that would do this - plus I checked my battery and data settings.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] stedrocklp:
I noticed this also. Sometimes it just drops out and airplane mode will get it to jump back on data. I also have a Thunderbolt which doesn't have this issue so it not a problem with service/towers. I had this issue on the earlier builds of gingerbread Roms for the OG Droid but I'm not sure how the Dev's addressed it. In time I'm sure it will get worked out. There is no way of reactivating 4G LTE phones as they "reactivate" every time you reboot the phone. *228 is strictly for 3G phones as you most likely already know but the only similar solution is a reboot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Yep, know that about the *228. Probably going to FTZ tonight - the full one. Hopefully this fixes it. I'll report back.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RoyVegasPinoy:
This might fall into one of Verizon's list of known bugs for the bionic at release.

"Subcategory: 4G/3G Service - Data Connectivity *Marginal 4G to 3G transition: Loss of data connectivity - The device may display 3G service indication but no data connections are possible. Short term work around: The user will need to power cycle the device or enable/disable Airplane Mode. Planned Resolution: A fix for this issue is under review and will be included in the first post launch maintenance release software for this device. The tentative release date is early November 2011."
[Motorola Droid Bionic] itjohn:
Sadly this is a known issue and was told this by a verizon engineer AFTER buying the phone. Data drops and data loses will be part of the ota that is suppose to be released eventually, couldn't give me an eta though. Personally I have had the issue when switching from 3g to 4g, example would be driving to work. Sometimes you need to simply turnoff then on the radio (easiest to use airplane mode widget) to get it to reconnect but in some extreme cases a complete factory reset/wipe is needed. That is what happened in my case. If I would have known that this was going to be the case I probably would have gotten the Dinc2 but oh-well, refuse to pay restocking fee.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wanderfowl:
This happens all the time for me, usually when I first wake up or when I've been on WiFi for a while with data off. I've gotten around this issue (reliably and without powering down or airplane mode toggling 20 times) by:

1) Disabling Juice Defender (temporarily) so that my data will run even with WiFi 2) Ensuring that data is enabled (in Settings)

3) Dialing *#*#4636#*#*

4) Opening "Phone", then tapping "Turn off Radio" at the bottom of the page

5) Tapping "Turn on Radio" again

6) Hitting Back or Home to get back to your home screen

In just a moment, when the radio comes back up, you should find Mobile Data re-enabled. I know Airplane mode should do the same thing, but I've found this more reliable and quicker.

Edit: Turns out that I was using a bad airplane mode widget. When I started using Widgetsoid, Airplane mode worked fine, no need for debug mode. Ignore the above :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] harpdoc:
I read on another forum that it depends on the phone, so I took mine back to Verizon after multiple episodes of losing data until I restarted the phone. They were reluctant to exchange it and said there was a 90% chance that I'd still lose data due to switching between 3g/4g. The rep said that all of their 4g phones did it. I stuck to my guns and got a replacement. A week later I haven't lost data once. Maybe I've just gotten lucky, maybe it's just coincidence, but my experience certainly seems to back up the conclusion that not all Bionics have the problem.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] itjohn:
I actually heard that and did the same thing as well and after receiving the new phone all was great for about 3 days then I had a total loss of data, no 3g or 4g and no way to get it back.. That's when I was told to perform a factory reset. Only way to fix it. So I said screw it and rooted my phone and now keep nandroid backups. I hope you have better luck then me... Cross those fingers.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] itjohn:
Easier way is simply toggling airplane mode instead of going into debug
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wanderfowl:
Yeah, I realized that the widget I was using wasn't really toggling it. Switching to Widgetsoid made airplane mode work like a charm. Thanks for inspiring me to follow up a bit :)

Bionic 3g/4g is not working (DROP) "FIX"

After searching around a few days for solution n test many apk and many many methods... Finally found the fix.

Just download "BionicTCP" from market (Play Store) (REQUIRES ROOT), and click on "Large TCP Buffers". It makes my Bionic xt875 3G/4G NO DROP AT ALL.

[Xperia Play General] White_Pointer:
Hello,

So I'm about to take the plunge and pick up an Xperia Play in the next few days. With it I'm planning on getting a 32GB microSD (class 4) card. What I'm concerned about though is whether I can fully utilise the card.

What I mean is, is that I've read that some apps can not be directly installed onto the SD card, forcing you to first install them onto the pitifully small internal storage before moving them over to the card. Other apps can not be moved to the SD card AT ALL, creating situations where you may actually run out of internal space and not even have enough to apply phone/OS updates. This has me slightly worried. What's the point in buying a nice big SD card if I can't fully utilise it?

Now, I know things are possible if you root the phone, but I'm not interested in doing that (I know, call me weird if you want, but I have no interest in rooting the phone when I get it). What I want to know is, can I do the following things

without

rooting the phone?

- Move certain apps/games to the SD card (I realise some vital apps can't be moved for technical reasons)

- Force the phone to install new apps/games directly onto the SD card

Thanks in advance for your time!
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
firstly, this is Gingerbread, and with Gingerbread means we are given the full authority to install apps on the phone or on the SD card. The problem comes from developers themselves. Whether an app is installed in the internal memory or the SD card is solely determined by the developer because of a string/command they have to put on their application's manifest files. that string gives us the option, so if they have not included that string on their apk's (like Asphalt 6 for example with a size of 29MB!!!), we will have no choice to select where to install it--with a default location on the internal memory! :mad:

This one is a good read on what i'm trying to say:

http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives/2011/02/02/android-force-moving-apps-to-an-sd-card/

there is a hack however, something like pm SetInstallLocation 2 through adb, it's somewhere here.. something like THIS it changes/forces the install location to SD card.. ;)
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Use link2sd. I have 370 apps installed and still have 239mb of internal storage:D
[Xperia Play General] White_Pointer:
Except link2sd requires root access...
[Xperia Play General] White_Pointer:
So there's basically nothing I can do about this without rooting the phone or fiddling with the adb? That if the app or game doesn't provide the option or where to install, I'm stuck?

Balls.

There must be a solution...how are you guys not running out of space on this thing?
[Xperia Play General] Azeazezar:
most, if not all of us have rooted our phone.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
The facts are, without root access you don't have enough control over your phone to do it. And if you don't want to use adb, you might as well sell your play and buy a feature phone, because thats all you have atm lol
[Xperia Play General] brochador:
Create a partition of your SD card then use link2sd.. For now maybe you don't have interest on rooting your phone but after a few days you will realize how important for us to have root access.. :D
[Xperia Play General] White_Pointer:
I thought the whole point of Android (as opposed to, say, iOS) is to give the user control. If I can't do something as simple as moving apps to an sd card without rooting the phone, it seems Android has failed in that regard. Even my 2 year old Omnia 2, running the dated Windows mobile 6.1 OS, allows me to choose where to install things and allows me full access to the file manager to move data where I want without ever needing to root it.

I'll probably still get a Play, and maybe adb is an option, but it still seems an annoyance to enable the option which should be there already.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Your missing the point, root isnt a bad thing or a hack, google always ment to supply android rooted like any linux distro. But they took root away from the end user to protect them. Malware wise a unrooted phone is a safe phone. It's then the end users problem if they root there phone and have all there passwords stolen. There is no comeback on google. The nexus phones are easy to root because google makes it easy, phones made by companies like HTC are harder to root because they want to protect there software. Although HTC and Sony have made a U-turn recently, allowing for end users to now bootloader unlock there phones and even supporting 3rd party rom developers.
[Xperia Play General] White_Pointer:
Unfortunately rooting a phone isn't quite as simple as logging in as the root user in linux. If you could "log in" to your phone as root to perform certain actions such as moving apps to an sd card, and then "log out" when you are done, back into your regular phone user mode, then it would be a different story. As it stands now, you get one thing wrong in the root process and you could lose vital functionality, or in the worst case can brick your phone.

I don't call that "protecting the end user", I personally think that whole concept is a load of bull. If they wanted to really protect the end user they'd make it easy to log in as root, but require the user to contact support for the password or something and get them to accept a T&A first so they understand the implications of it. That way the phone doesn't permanently stay in "rooted" mode, and you only need the root access temporarily so your chances of contracting any Malware are slim.

Doesn't that make a lot more sense?
[Xperia Play General] paxChristos:
Here's the ADB Hack:

Install Android SDK, download the recommened files.

Open up command prompt (if you're in windows) goto adb, its located [drive installed on, normally C]:\[wherever you installed it, i.e. program files, or if you unzipped it, unzip folder]\android-sdk_r12-windows\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools (where you have it installed might differ from mine. If you don't have the android sdk library, this makes it worth it.)

when you get to the folder you have adb located, and your phone is plugged in (USB Debuging needs to be turned on (settings -> application -> development)),

type:

adb shell

(you'll have to wait a little bit)

when you see the command prompt change to "#"

then type:

pm setInstallLocation 2

reboot

you don't need root, and it's easy to do :P

If you have a .85/.86 bootloader and used the root.sh method you can use the PD15IMG.zip to unroot and s-on the phone.

if you used the ./gfree method you need ADB or terminal access.
