[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
Thanks, I'll try it. I flashed the new cm7, since I just got tired of sense woes. I read battery life on this was amazing, and I'm hoping it was just a bug with the kernel/rom I was using. Battery stats would've been wiped when I wiped for flashing this ROM, so I'll do a full battery cycle and cross my fingers. My only thought is that maybe, if the battery stats were screwed up enough, it thought it was at 50 or 60% but really it was more like 10%. I remember having issues after I flashed the custom kernel, where before I flashed I was at 70%, and when I rebooted I was at ~10%, and I was like what the hell? So it ended up dying on me, but then I turned it back on and it said 50% or something around there. And then it functioned as normal until it died again, for real that time. Hopefully it was the kernel causing the issue. I'll run a few tests with this and see. If it is the battery, I'll try t-mobile for a warranty replacement of the battery.
[HTC Sensation] nik.taylor:
The battery measurements seem to be really quirky on this phone. When the phone is idle it seems to drain anything from 50ma to 400ma for no particular reason. You cant really rely on the % too closely
[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
Yeah, I've found the percentages to be pretty inaccurate. Hardly an hour and a half on the battery and it's down to 84%. I did play a game for like 10 minutes and the screen has probably been on for 20 or so, so that's not incredibly unreasonable. I'm just waiting for that dropoff to 0%, if that happens again I'm thinking it's hardware, because I'm running an entirely different ROM and kernel right now.
[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
So it just happened again, went from 42 to 14 after reboot, had to remove battery and reinsert to fix. But other people have reported this issue on cm7. So, I'm thinking maybe that it's an issue with android 2.3.5 or the kernel for it, since it's happened on both arhd 4.1 and cm7, both 2.3.5 roms. I'm going to try and flash faux's cm7 kernel over it and see if it fixes it. May or may not, might be a long shot but worth a shot, I'd rather not switch roms for a third time in the same day.

HEY GUYS

i have just brought my son the xperia play for his birthday sunday.

and before he gets it i want to set it up to work the best it can so i would like to know please is there anything i should know or do to get the best out the phone for him. like updates software that should be added or anything like this that you can recommend.

also how.where is the best place to download the games from or is this all done via the phone,

thank you for all and any help
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
Well first thing you probably would want to do is root the phone and get rid of all the bloatware. It will speed up the phone a bunch, then move dalvik cache and that will increase internal memory quite a bit(its pretty pathetic internal memory) and also move as many apps as you can to sd card which will give you a bit more memory. On the gaming issue there are lots of emulators on the market available and games too. Plus you can use the fun& downloads app which is basically a direct source for most of the games. Sorry for no links but just head over to development section and you will find how to do the dalvik cache moving, rooting and everything you'll need to get that baby running the way you want it. Hope this helps you out a bit. Have fun
[Xperia Play General] sut1576:
thank you for the info look slike i have a fair bit of reading to do lol.

but again thanks
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
I would like to ad some info.

Moving dalvik cache on the newest firmware build (2.3.4) is not recomended cuz the cache partition is sized down to a 100mb and can cause you not to be able to download from market as dalvik cache would fill it up to much and leave to little free space.

Haven't tried it myself, just some info i read here in the play subforum i would like to share.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
What model is the xplay you bought? R800i? As long as your phone is not the R800x you can follow the guide here. Which will give you root then just see this thread for what bloat is safe to remove from the phone.

If you uninstall the apps after rooting then you will not be able to ota update to the latest fw since ota requires all the bloat still on the phone. If you freeze the bloat rather than uninstall it still gives you the same effect uninstalling them would (faster boot up e.t.c) but still allows you to receive the latest updates. If you follow the guide above to gain root then ota update you will be on the latest software SE has released.

No need to move the dalvik cache, i have not moved it and i still have enough internal memory to spare.

You can still grab Yongzh's emulators for free from here. Other than that the android market has everything you could want.
[Xperia Play General] sut1576:
wow thank you for all that info Mozza2k11,

a few questions thou if you dont mind. how do i know what version i have i dont know if its the 800i or 800x.

my phone is on contract to T-mobile can i still root the phone? after reading your comments i think if i can do all this i will just freeze the apps instead of removing so the phone wil still update.

what is rooting yoru phone?

thanks
[Xperia Play General] antEris:
If you have t-mobile its not the x. My advice is this though. Unless your interested in tinkering with your sons phone all the time / think he would have fun tinkering. Don't root it. While root can give you incresed functionality, it can and will however break functions on the phone from time to time.

This is something you'll need to be aware of.

Of course, if you do. Have fun, cause its awesome!
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
If when on the home screen you press the menu key (3rd from the left) then go > Settings > About phone. Its says model number (in my case R800i).

Rooting your phone gives you admin rights basically the same as you would get on a pc (allowing you to access to all files). Once rooted you can use apps you normally could not have such as titanium backup, adfree (blocks pop up, ads in free games its very handy) e.t.c

You can root any xplay with the guide i posted in my last post execpt the r800x, it doesnt matter what carrier you are on.

Tbh mate i dont know how old your son is or if he is into modifiying his phone. If you just run the ota update (settings > about phone > software update) or use pc companion and get the latest software on. He should be good to go for now. This was my first android phone and i didnt root my phone till i had it for a month or so and it still worked great.

If you decide to root the phone look @ my posts in this thread mainly the one towards the bottom for an easier to follow guide.
[Xperia Play General] sut1576:
thank you so much for your help.

i have been told by a friend to install " snappz market " is this good idea or should i stay away from it. must be honest not to sure what it is

if i root the phone so it runs faster by removing some of the crap am i right in thinking i cant ota update? but if i freeze the crap i dont want/use then i will still get the same performance increase and still be able to update?

so if im understanding correct it make sense to just freeze all instead of remove nothing,

sorry if im asking newbie questions
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
Never even heard of snappz market. Id just stick with android market it has everything you could need.

You cannot ota update if you uninstall the bloat (remove it fully from the phone). If you freeze the bloat it stops it from running but is still hidden on the phone and allows you to ota update. Once an update is out just unfreeze the bloat, run the ota and then refreeze what you had frozen before.

I freeze all the bloat i dont want running now (from the safe apps to remove list). I previously uninstalled them and when the update came out it would not apply so i had to reinstall the software on my phone. Wiping all my apps, game saves e.t.c.

So freezing bloat saves you from having to reinstall the software to get back the stuff you might have uninstalled. Plus you get the benefits of the bloat not running, better battery life e.t.c

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crobs808:
I have a Google Voice number local to my area code that forward to my pbxes.org account, which in turn takes the call and sends it to my phone via the SipDroid app. I can make incoming/outgoing calls all day long for free, but have a problem with call quality.

I have linked two voicemail files. I placed a call from SipDroid out to the same number in both cases, but one was done over WiFi and the other over 3G (2-3 bars, average signal). The WiFi one is acceptable, but the 3G one is not. Listen for yourself (For the message, I read one of the opening paragraphs from the US Declaration of Independence, same on both so you can compare accurately.)

Setup: Google Voice number -> pbxes.org -> SipDroid app

Wifi VOIP Voicemail: http://www.corusa.com/public/voip-wifi.wav

3G VOIP Voicemail: http://www.corusa.com/public/voip-3g.wav

Now, with that said you need to understand my intent. I am wanting to use my Google Voice number for work, as my off-hours support phone, so I do not accrue charges on my personal cell plan (not covered by employer, and they do not provide work mobile phones). So, since I am usually on the go, I will not be connected to WiFi, thus I need a reliable VOIP option that will get acceptable call quality over 3G. There are multiple options out there, and I do not have a problem with a monthly fee, but they all come with caveats. For example, if I got an "Online Number" from Skype, and just forwarded my Google Voice number to that, it would work through the Skype app, no SIP app needed; however, the Skype voicemail cannot be disabled, so I can no longer use the Google Voice app to easily see my support calls/messages from my home screen. I have use the Skype app (or website) to listen to voicemails. Skype would solve my quality problem (based on reviews of other users that use it over 3G), but introduce the new voicemail issue. The setup I have now (GV->pbxes->SipDroid) allows me to use the GV voicemail, but quality is lacking...catch 22. Is there a better more reliable solution out there for VOIP on Android? I am fine with paying

There's also the Google Callback app, that I have been trying to avoid at all costs, since it is kind of hokey, and I tried the GrooVe IP app, but it has a lot of echo for the person I am calling, and no setting change could fix it.

p.s. - I will be updating my phone from the DroidX (3G only) to the Bionic (4G). If you think that will make a difference, and make all my concerns moot, then just say so, and that's what I'll do ;)

Thanks!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snrb Labs:
Since you mentioned GrooVe IP, figured I'd respond. Did you try the echo canceler setting in the GrooVe IP audio/echo settings? Enabling that should get rid of echo heard by the person you're talking to. And/Or reducing the mic gain & speaker volume.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crobs808:
Already tried that, and every option in between, including the manual millisecond settings.

Viber has amazing quality...not sure if you can use it over 3g or 4g though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crobs808:
Viber is not a true VOIP solution, as you can only call other people using the Viber app. Here's an excerpt from the Viber FAQ...

Q: Can I call people who don't have Viber?

A: Yes, if the person you're calling doesn't have Viber, the call will be placed like *regular call, but don't forget to invite your friends to Viber so your next call is free ;). *Regular calls are calls placed through your cell phone service provider, using your cell phone rate plan.

That's pointless...I need to call any phone number (land line, mobile, cell, work, etc) in the USA from my Google voice number using only a 3G/4G connection. I really need to find that one or two providers that use a low enough bitrate for voice that can work fine on 3G without being echoey or choppy (this is why I posted the 3G sample voice-mail above). I would just install the Google Voice callback app, but I do not have a 'Friends & Family' option for my cell plan to add my GV number to, which is essential for that to be feasible.

Is this really not something a lot of people have dealt with? I know I am not the first person in the world who has tried to call via VOIP over 3G - the technology has been around forever. Anyway, still need an answer if anyone has one :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harukint:
I'm also an early adapter of GV voip service.

I'm using Dell streak 7 (dual core 512 mb ram, horrible software config, honeycomb 3.2)

I manage to have stable voip quality with clear portable 4g hotspot connected through wifi. Unlimited calls and data, pretty cool. However, talking through a bluetooth device and 3GHSPA+ have been horrible. My friends keep complaining about bad call quality until I find this issues. If calling through wifi (I use groove ip) with internal mic and speaker, everything is fine. I guess it's either due to bad hardware coding of the streak 7 or due to the narrow bandwith of the bluetooth 2.1 or 3G. I'm not familiar with the tech details of streak 7.

I'm gonna try the new nexus 7 and sony xperia z ultra to see if any issues above can be solved.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
Just keep on charging it. It's no different from the lithium batteries since they started releasing it for mobile phones. Leaving it charged overnight does it no harm (been through 5 android phones and encountered no problem). Either way if anything happens to it and you're using an original battery it's still covered by warranty. You should always keep your battery ideally topped up anyway. Lithium batteries like being charged above 20% and around 80%.

ADDING THE LINK HERE NOW : https://www.dropbox.com/s/it4ji9mlohfgagf/NexusOne-rescue-tools.zip

And please, a THANKS would be great if this helped you.

For some reason the phone one day just didn't boot. Was stuck on X logo.

We have tried alot... can't get into recovery, so flashed custom recovery, both RA and CWM... can't get into any of them, just stuck on X.

The phone was stock, and unrooted.

We managed to unlock bootloader via fastboot and root it.

Tried the PASSIMG.ZIP method - not working.

Any ideas?

.... please? =(

EDIT: Problem solved! Send me a PM if you're in the same seat, and i could send you all the files you need.

Oh, all you need is your FASTBOOT to work, no need for ADB, since it didn't work for me either.

EDIT #2:

The reason is that i have a file (ADB, and all the *.img's) needed on my server, and don't wanna post the link here so that's why i have done it thru PM.

But i'll update the first post and just delete the link, so when anyone needs it they can PM me.

So far (2012-02-10) 14 phones confirmed back up running, including mine. Got 2 unconfirmed, and just sent 5 PM's to guys with the same problem.

*** PM ME FOR THE LINK TO THE *.ZIP ***

Unzip, open an command promt, and:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot flash system system.img

do the commands in that order, and when you are done reboot the phone

and see if it boots.

if NOT: keep on flashing ONLY the boot.img again and again until it

boots. it seems like the boot partition is corrupted and may need alot

of flashing until it works.

i think i flashed like 100 times before it booted. =)

There is also another recovery in that zip... RA's recovery. You can also try that one, no harm done!

Once you get it to boot, you will have FroYo 2.2 installed.

If you got it to boot with recovery.img just let android update to latest (2.3.7?)

If you have RA's recovery, just flash back recovery.img or you wont be able to upgrade to 2.3.7 "the stock way" :)

I've been in a similar situation before and just kept fastboot flashing system, recovery, and boot, and eventually I recovered the phone...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I assume since you mentioned that you unlocked the bootloader, that you can get into fastboot? If so, flash a custom recovery (I'd recommend CWM since it includes an option to wipe the system partition) and boot into it.

fastboot flash recovery "c:\location\to\recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery "c:\location\to\recovery.img

If you can get that far, wipe your /system partition and do a factory reset. Then install CM7 (or whatever ROM you want) and gapps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrBira:
Thanks!

But we have tried to fastboot system.img, boot.img and recovery.img

Still stuck on X.

Is that code any different perhaps?

I can't try that now, that's why i ask instead of try it =)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
All the commands that I posted are supposed to do is install a custom recovery and then boot into it. From recovery, you need to wipe your device by wiping the /system partition and doing a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. Then install whatever ROM you want to.

I've never tried using fastboot to install the system image, so I can't comment on that at all.

Hi guys,

I know this has been covered, but the info is rather fragmented and hard to follow for me.

I have a pretty fresh 1.3 rooted with MN (properly and working great).

I have the limited app visibility in Market (version 3.1.5). I have installed LCD Resolution, Root Explorer and LCDDensity. I've tried to tinker with the density in the LCD apps, but it seems my NC is already at 160.

I have looked at my build.prop file and I have the following lines that reference density.

# ro.sf.lcd_density=240

ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi-169.33333

ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi-169.33333

I would really like to get my market back so I can use this as a tablet.

Who can help me out with the steps? I'm not a super novice at this, but I'm not an 'expert' by any stretch.

Thanks
[Nook Color General] hikersc:
I have read numerous posts but have yet to find anyone with a rooted, stock 1.3 with a fully populated Market. At this point, I know of no known fix.

I am hoping that one of the developer types will take this issue on and find the key. My thinking is that now that there is a CM7 fix and fully working market with rooted, stock 1.2, that the answer is out there some where for a stock rooted 1.3.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
I don't have a rooted NC but with my CM7 (nb200 or later), it set to 160 dpi by default.

All you have to do is clear Market (v3.1.5) data (not the cache, not the Market Updater) then get back in (sign in and re-accept their term).

That's it.

You should get fully functioning Market (Apps, Books, Games, Movies)
[Nook Color General] 1fzfe:
I just finished rooting a coworkers v1.3 Nook and have this same issue. There is about 95% market visibility. I have tried most everything imaginable (build prop edits, lcd density hacks, uninstalling the market update) and can't access that final 5%. This includes things like facebook, twitter and opera or dolphin browser to name a few. For now I have side loaded a few of these but it would be nice to have them in the market. Movies, books etc all show up fine. Its just this handful of apps that are a problem. I do not have this issue on my CM7 or v1.2 setups. Very frustrating.
[Nook Color General] boxcar8028:
with the dpi at 160 my market 3.1.5 has been working fine. i can see all apps including facebook, twitter, opera and dolphin. have you try clearing market's data and cache? maybe this will help.
