[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marius18br:
hello. this is a log story, so i will try to get to the point as quickly as i can.

i have a xperia arc lt15i locked on SFR France, it came with 3.0.A.2.184 branded sfr out of the box. when i inserted an unsupported sim card (orange) it always asked me the sim-unlock code (i never tried a random code). after a while, an update became available for my device 3.0.1.A.0.145 i think, so i updated the software via pc companion. the problem is that after this update, when i insert a unsupported sim card it always says "please insert sim card and restart the phone". and i really need to unlock the phone because i ordered the unlock code. i'm on the generic uk version now, and still have the same problem.

anyone else experienced the same issue? can someone give me an advice please? how can i unlock my phone now? i'm desperate...

How does one going about changing the boot animation on the Thrill 4G? I have the cell rooted, running Thriller 1.1.0, not really thrilled with the default boot animation.
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
Dont worry its stupid easy... Take your new bootanimation.zip and put it on your sdcard.... Using a file explorer that can work with the root... For example root explorer... Long press the new bootanimation.zip and select Copy.. then navigat e to system/media and if using root explorer click the button at the top of the screen and mount as r/w and paste it there... Overwrite the original... Backup if you want... Then long click and press permisions and make sure all boxes are checked... Just to be safe... Then mount back to r/o... Done...

Thanx Trek, that's what i was thinking, just wanted to be sure...
[LG Thrill 4G] CoryMac913:
Running root explorer, cannot get the system/media folder to mount r/w, nor the /system
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Did you grant it superuser permissions?
[LG Thrill 4G] CoryMac913:
Root Explorer has been granted Superuser Permissions comes up when i open it
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
That is interesting... You can always use adb if you want... Or flash the new doomed froyo rom by urabewe that I helped theme... It has a nice boot animation

Sent from my LG Thrill 4G...
[LG Thrill 4G] Cthater:
You could also get the boot animation installer on the market. Its got a ton of different boot animations and a reboot option in the settings menu for once you've picked the animation you want. I personally love the app and its only $1.
[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
Why not just put it in "/data/local"?

I believe NO ROOT is required.

[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
I have started a new flashable zip boot animation thread. There are a few over there already. You can request to have one made if you don't know how to make one yourself. Just point me to the boot animation and I'll make it.

All you have to do is download zip, put on sd card if not already there. Go into CWM and flash like you would a rom. BOOM! New boot animation
[LG Thrill 4G] RootTheNoob:
Or you could just place it on your phone or sdcard and boot into CWM and flash the zip package. 0_o!
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
It has to be a flashable zip... you can't just flash any zip file you want. If its just bootanimation.zip then all it contains is the boot animation.

One of the roms I had on my Captivate had the Telenav GPS Navigator app included. Is there a way to install this app without flashing a new rom? I have rooted my AT&T SGS2 with the original rom.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
no, the free version gives you spoken turn-by-turn directions and you can sync it with your telenav account online (ie. favorite address, etc...) but you lose the traffic updates and some other extra features unless you sign up for the $10/month fee.

I got this phone yesterday. I can't wait to root this phone, so that I can delete apps that I don't want.
[Focus General] wideguy:
Hello All.

My Focus ended up in the washer... i got it out, yanked the battery, set it in a bag of rice for three days and hoped.

Phone seems to have come back, all features appear to work. (WOOT!)

Only issue is the screen is very dim. It was bright when it first booted. Seemed fine for a few minutes.. then flickered and went dim.

I already disassembled, removed and replaced the screen connector to see if it was just a dirty contact. No luck.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
To me, it looks like some water got to the digitizer.

However, I'm not an expert, but from what you describe plus what you did, that seems to be the case.
[Focus General] wideguy:
Thanks. Little more info ... I don't know if it helps... but when I go into diagnostics, for the screen, Setting *#0*#, I can see red and Blue, but green is practically non existent.

Also, is there a "Backlight" like in a LCD screen, a set of CCFL's or similar I could replace or is is the digitizer assembly a sealed factory piece?

Thanks again.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I see. Afaik, the blue color is the first to go on a SAmoled digitizer, as being the most sensitive. Then green. However, the lack of green indicates that something has gone wrong. You can have a look here, maybe it helps, but there is no backlight in SAmoled and I think you need to get the whole piece... There is one thread here.
[Focus General] rbrsddn:
Put your phone in a bag of white rice for a couple of days to dry it out, then see if that helped. A friends son dropped his phone in water, tried that, and it recovered.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
That's what he said he did, read 1st post carefully.

@wideguy: I hope you get it sorted, man.

I also loved the look and many things about the Synergy rom - but for whatever reason it ran like a dog on my phone. Lots of people have great luck with it - but it really bogged down my phone. I think the last version I tried was like 255 though and they've released a few new ones since then

Hi,

I have a couple of question and would appreciate an answer to any of them;

Will the announcement of the nexus prime in the uk happen on the 18th of October?

When are HTC going to announce the Amaze 4g/Ruby in the UK?

Will the HTC Vigor be released in the UK? When will it be announced?

Is the best phone i can currently buy the Galaxy S2?

Thanks for any help in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] mr.flibble:
The successor to the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250 is being announced on the 19th October.

It reportedly goes on sale in the UK on the 27th October.

i9100 is currently the most powerful handset you can buy but the HTC Sensation has a higher resolution screen (960x540 vs 800x480). The i9250 will be better than the two in both CPU/GPU power and screen resolution (1280x720).

As soon as the i9250 goes on sale, I expect prices for the i9100 to plummet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pumacat311:
I recently purchased this awesome phone and it has been flashed to metro.. My daily phone is An Epic 4G on boost, so as soon as flashing to boost becomes possible I will be doing that.. My question is that I want to root this phone and I also need to delete the main Google account on it, and I was told that if I do a factory reset I will lose the flash.. With my Epic on boost, I could data and cache wipe from recovery and flash rom after rom and never lose my boost flash.. So I'm really looking for some pointers, best root method that will allow me to keep metro, and then a way to erase the original Google account on the phone.. thanks in advance for any help given.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
to remove the main Google account just add another google account and then delete the old one.

You could add the account by going into your gmail and

hit menu

click accounts

click add acount

add your account and it will sync up

or

you could go to the main setting of the phone and go to accounts & sync

hit ADD account

select google

then follow steps

once added go back and select the old google acct and hit Remove acct

Rooting shouldnt remove your flash the only thing that it will do is delete your mms settings for metro (i could be wrong so make sure first)

Hope this helps...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pumacat311:
You can't delete the Google account that was used to setup the phone no matter how many accounts you add.. Not through the phone, haven't tried online but I haven't been able to delete from any android phone, always had to wipe data from can which causes much less damage to flash info that the factory reset option in settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
i delete my extra google account from my phone all the time but never tried to delete the one it was set up with but figured it would be the same process. Try login in your account online and see if its possible there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
Perhaps I am missing something obvious but is there a way to specify the interval in which Active-sync updates? I am pretty sure this is a push service but it would be great to be able to have Active-sync only update once every X hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i dont think you can do this, outside of turning off your data and turning it back on periodically for the phone to re-sync/update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
Thank you for the reply. I wish we could set an interval. I am having some wake locks issues with Event Log Manager (Google Services). Turning off Active-sync solved the issue but now I am not getting calendar updates, etc. Perhaps I can use Tasker to set a schedule when I turn on and off Active-sync?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
The exchange activesync let you chose sync schedules. But the GMail sync doesn't. I wish there is such option not for sync every x hours (which does not necessary save battery) but to turn off sync at night.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
I am curious why you think having Activesync work on schedule wouldnt necessarily save battery? In my case, Active-sync is causing quite a bit of wake lock which drains the battery. I imagine putting this task on a schedule instead of having an "always on" connection should save battery, unless of course the app needed to schedule this consumes more battery or if the very act of starting up Active-sync consumes more battery....oh man this isnt as clear cut to me as I originally thought!

In terms of you want to do, you could use a profile scheduler program to turn off Active-sync at night. I use and app called "Profile Scheduler".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
push sync actually works pretty efficiently. More so than polling for emails every so often. I have 4 accounts (one GMail, one corp. exchange and 2 hotmail accounts) all use push sync for emails, contacts and calendars. It uses no more than 2% battery per hour.

Unless you stretch out the schedule to once or twice a day, you won't see much battery improvements.

All I wanted is silent the phone automatically during my sleep at night :) And so far Gmail is the only one that won't let me do it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NiXXeD:
I'm guessing they get tons of email or something. If you really get so much email that both push and pull styles are killing battery then perhaps you should turn any form of sync off. It's not the phone's fault though, that's just how the cookie crumbles!

Speakerphone Echo

I'm having the same problem on my AT&T Galaxy S3. Person on other end of line experienced terrible echo when I turn speakerphone on. I don't have the issue on my stock ICS ROM only on the custom JB ROM's I have tried: CM 10 M2, AOKP M1, AOCP newest build etc... I'm assuming all these ROM's share some common code. It's definitely the the case as I have tried taking it off and on with no effect. If you have found a solution., I'm all ears. Thanks!
