OK I have cm7 and my phone can't hold a charge, will be on the charger all night at 38% and wake up 7hrs later 44% and the phone is super hot like burning hot... I tried everything vipermod, v6 supercharger, juice defender, undercloxk, everything.... Any reason why my phone takes almost 2days just to completely recharge????

I agree, sounds like a bad battery, but have you tried calibrating it?

Also, have you tried a different kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luist4498:
Believe it or not, it may be the cord on your charger. I had this exact same problem with an OEM HTC Ebay charger i bought. I tried new battery and was about to try new phone when i decided to try a different charger and that was it! Every time i try that charger it happens again!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DatBSlim:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper001:
I placed this in Q/A instead of general cause..... it's a question that's been bugging me since the beginning of all this X8 Modding stuff.

The question is Why did you buy the Xperia X8 when after, rooting and unlocking, a lot of people will want to install an HTC sense ROM or basically Clone the look of the HTC sense UI?

Why not buy the HTC Wildfire S? same proc speed, same GPU, TRUE DUAL Touch Capacitive screen, 512 ROM, 512 RAM (418 useable) and upto 32GB SD Support and Built in Android 2.3. and ofcourse SENSE UI 2.1.

BTW, this question is really valid only for those who bought their X8's after May2011.:D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProXperia:
hi

i live in iran and htc wildfireS in my country is 320 Rial

but xperia x8 is only 180 Rial !!!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper001:
That's actually a good reason. Price.... but, with the wildfire S which is less than double the price of the X8 you don't have to root and hence lose your waranty, and more than double the benefits of the X8. (RAM,ROM,True DT, Ginger ROM, etc)

Not dissing anyone or their decision on getting the X8, coz i love my X8 too and believe it or not, i like the original SE UI compared to HTC Sense. That was actually the reason why i got the X8 against the original Wildfire, and that was almost year ago. :D when the price of the X8 is actually more than the original Wildfire.

But my Question remains, with all the benefits of the Wildfire S, aside from price. Why get the X8?

and, Why put in Sense UI?

'Coz, to me it doesn't make sense...:D:D:D

.....Just asking.....
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapocszoltan:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper001:
Very good of you ;)

But i believe that yes, in the heart of it all, it comes to looks. Compared to the others, SE phones are probably the sexiest phones around, bar none.

i mean, if you didn't know the specs and you had the current superphones (Atrix, Sensation and S2) side by side with the ARC or NEO, what will you buy? :D

I would probably still choose smartphones in the Xperia base because they look awesome and their specs are pretty good too. :)

Hope that helps.:)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper001:
The funny thing about the new xperia's is that SE is now helping with the development if 3rd party ROMs. :D Bold move, but I guess they learned their lesson from the F&ups of 2009-2010. ie the Arc is what the X10 should have been.

Hardware wise, they have to catch-up on the Super Smart Phone and tablet bandwagon.

[General Questions and Answers] rockreactor:
Hello. Well i got a Galaxy S2 and think of doing one step forward, but first i would

like to clear a few things in my mind. So here are my questions.

1) I read about secure and insecure kernels. What is the difference ? That on a secure kernel

the user has no root access while on an insecure the user has full access to the entire system ?

2) What is an insecure/original kernel ? Are those give to public by Samsung, therefor

called original ?

3) Lets asume i want to make that step and root my phone with Odin. What kernel do

i choose ? There are so many available online. I download just any? I have to take

into consideration the current kernel and firmware i have on my phone right now?

I see on xda GT-I9100_BOKE3_insecure,GT-I9100_BOKE3_insecure, GT-I9100_BOKG2_insecure

and many others. How do i know which one i need ?

4) It looks that Odin and adding a new kernel is not enough to root. There are applications

like SuperOneClick, that root the device, but what is the point in adding a new kernel.

5) After rooting, do i have to be careful installing any kind of applications? I mean

i dont want applications to be installed and not to be able to remove them in case i would

unroot my mobile.

6) Let's say i've done my job (changing some configuration files) and there is no reason

for me to have my phone root anymore. I just unroot it with SuperOneClick. But what happens

with the kernel and firmware? How to i reset them to default ? Again how do i know which

kernel or firmware i have to install again. Is there any topic for that in our forum?

7) Another topic is Samsung updates. Right now, if there is an available update, i get informed by

Kies. After rooting and adding a new kernel, will i still get notifications or i will

have to do all the updates manualy ?

8) As last, after rooting is it possible to get it 100% back to the stage where it was before rooting the device?

Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

I've just created this app (in fact I haven't choose an icon and a name xD).

The app let you to control your CPU clock and governor. The widget lets you choose the CPU profile with just one click.

The quickest CPU control application. Switch easily and fast between CPU profiles by tapping the widget on your homescreen or using the app.

You can create multiple CPU profiles. You want to play and need more power? Overclock your CPU! Need more battery life? You can easily double it.

You can choose the right profile whit just one tap, whenever you want.

Features:

-unlimited number of profiles

-fast and clean

-no RAM or CPU eaten

-FREE!

I attach some screens (better than words) and the .apk

EDIT:

this is just a full functionally pre-release. I will release the app in Android Market soon.

EDIT2:

I forgot to advise, as you all surely know, that mess with overclock CAN KILL YOUR HAMSTER! I'm not responsable of any damage.

EDIT3:

I've attached a debug version, that print the errors on a file in SDCARD/logFile.txt . If you have some error and want to help me, please send me the file :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
Hi folks,

How are you getting on with your S2, still happy, any buyers remorse?

Is the camera pink spot still an issue?

I'm contemplating buying the S2 or possibly the HTC Sensation, but I'm leaning slightly more towards the Samsung at the moment. I've had a HTC Desire which was great but I've just returned my 3rd HTC Incredible S due to poor phone signal issues. I do very much like the Sense interface and that's making my decision a little difficult.

I suggest you absolutely do not get a Sensation. Mine went back to the repair centre 3 times with dust under the screen. The build feels hefty but the actual hardware - from the screen to the camera to the cellular transmitter to the loudspeaker - is inferior. The only thing with the S2 is that it doesn't feel as substantial in the hand; though the S2 form factor certainly makes it easier to text on in my opinion. I have also ordered an iPhone 4S. Three in fact. Have you SEEN how much these things go for on eBay when they sell out? ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoni1980:
They don't seem to have much concern for product longevity and they take too many design punts which evidently have potentially catastrophic repercussions. They also release FAR too many devices per year. It completely cheapens the brand. No one makes the consumer feel more confident in their purchase than Apple. You KNOW you will get great product support and you KNOW your phone wont be out of date and forgotten about in six months. At least Samsung tend to stick to a flagship phone for about a year. I just don't know why HTC can't make a decent phone with great tech and stick with it. It's like they're constantly on the run rather than constantly trying to improve.

I must say the Galaxy S II offers the most satisfying Android experience, ever! I have never used an Android so smooth that it is on par with Apple's! I still like Apple for their quality from the OS and phone. If you like to play games then go for the iPhone.

The 4S almost matches the S II but the front facing camera ia still the old one compared to S II's 2MP.

As for the S II, the device can get rather warm on extended gameplay. I don't know if you get that on the iPhone as well.
