First question regarding porting here i think? nvm..

i will switch to ISC soon when KA08 arrives
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] innocence07:
are u saying that image quility in ICS is better... i dont think so as i used ka14 based on .562 and i must say image is still decades away from iphone 4 shame on SE they put on false commercial just to sell product no wonder they got flop in the mobile industry ahaha good for them LoL :cool::cool::cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wbgenetic:
How's everything coming along guys ? Any progress here with the new ICS ? Any updates on the quality issue :?

Would love to get a better picture quality out of our Xperias ... :S
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vargens:
ICS 4.0.4 deliver worse pics then gingerbread.. so i use gingerbread for only pics, and ics for the rest..sad but true
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wbgenetic:
Unfortunately this might be closer to the truth ...

my question is - is it possible to make the driver come out with chroma subsampling off or at least 1x1 instead of 2x2 - but best thing is to have it switched off ...

or use apk from another phone producing better images ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zakk87:
maybe someone can use ICS camera libraries?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wbgenetic:
I believe it is the same when using ICS and making photos with it ... quality remains the same - the issue comes from the way the signal is encoded and compressed ...
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
hi all,

from the last 2 weeks or so, i am experiencing a sudden drain in the battery whenever gprs is enabled on my phone...if i disable gprs then the battery lasts for more than 7 -8 hours..and with gprs ON, it last for less than 1 hour. please let me there is a way to ascertain that it is a battery (hardware) problem or a ROM problem OR kernel problem.

Model no. GT-I5801

Firmware Version - 2.2

Baseband version - I5801DDJP2

Kernel version - 2.6.32.9

root@SE-S605#2

Build number-FROYO.DDJP4

please let me know if any other information is required.
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
try different kernel.i suggest gemod 1.7 lite.it lasts for me about 2-3 days with medium use
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
Thanks peter,

can you please let me know if this kernel supports the froyo stock ROM that I have?
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
i strongly believe yes, you are welcome :D

make sure u get the froyo version cuz ther is an cm7 one
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
what is the difference between them?

There are different kernels listed on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1234591&page=1

FuguMod

CF-ROOT

G3MOD-Froyo

Simplicity Kernel

Dual Boot

FuguMod Ultra

G3MOD-CM6.2

G3MOD Kernel Pack

Which one should I select....gemod 1.7 lite is not listed here?
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
sry i ment g3mod :P this one is non overclocked and for me its life is 2 days plus for sure:) just calibrate your batery by letting it from full to completly dry since you dont have a rooted rom :)

just flash it in recovery
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
Thanks peter. I will flash with the kernel that you have provided and let you know if it resolves the issue. can you please let me know if it is listed in the list that I have provided above.

also, i have rooted my phone so for rooted phones, is there any other procedure to flash kernel other than that listed on the link that i have pasted in my previous thread?
[Galaxy 3 General] sidzcool:
Hey even I face battery issue ... I flashed from custom to stock for battery but still no luck .. now I m on Viveks rom testing different kernels. I will test 1.7 now
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
since you have rooted use battery calibration from market(free) for better calibration and instant.it is in your list *G3mod* but its an older version(seems better to me at least for the battery).

to flash it,the easiest way is through recovery.it make no difference the flashing way:)

so now flash it,charge to full(until the phone tells you,not just 100%) and use the calibration app.thats it.let me know how it is:)

p.s im on 5h 12m display,32m voice calls,2h 24m wifi and 2d 11h 21m unplugged and still 28% battery left :o

p.s.2 are you using gallery 3d for your pictures?its know for battery drain,better use quickpic(on market,free) and ofc set brightness to minimum :)
[Galaxy 3 General] sidzcool:
Are u on stock rom or custom???
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
im on kirillos 8.1 but i have this kind of battery power in every rom i ve tried with this kernel :)
[Galaxy 3 General] sidzcool:
Hmmm so u r using 1.7 on kyrillos 8.1. How was the g3mod 2.0 performance in battery/?
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
at start it seemed worse than it was:p

was almost ok but compairing to 1.7 it was ****:P

maybe its just me dunno,but my phone seems to love 1.7 :D
[Galaxy 3 General] sidzcool:
Hmmm I m on 1.7 now. I m getting 6-10 hrs of heavy usage sometimes even less that :-( so I think it's something to do with battery cos it's pretty old now :-(
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
sry i cant help u more :\ i have my phone for almost half a year if u mean thats old...

anyway good luck and have fun :)
[Galaxy 3 General] sidzcool:
Its okie mine is almost a yr old. I think it's time to change the battery
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
Hey Peter,

Can you please let me know the exact steps to flash 1.7 kernel using odin and which version of odin to use as I searched for both on google but didn't get detailed steps to do this and also, there are many versions of odin available?

I only got the following on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1252698

Just apply update.zip from Recovery or flash tar file using ODIN.

applying update.zip from Recovery is not working for me as cwm is not installed on my phone so I want to use odin to do the same thing...
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
when the phone is off try to press up+down volume buttons and home key and power button to get in recovery.if it doesnt work download I5800_Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.252 for odin(there should be somewhere in xda) and unfortunantly 1.7 is not i g3mod list anymore but try from here http://code.google.com/p/g3modteam/...mmary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount g3mod_froyo_v1.9_lite.tar(make sure its the .tar cause the zip wont flash)

1.9 is also good enough:)
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
peter,

you have attached g3mod 1.7 in your previous post. I will use that one.

can you please let me know, which file I need to select after selecting one package from the zip file in odin?
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
the 1.7 i had attached is only for recovery flash

for odin that one cant be used :\
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
Thanks Peter. Actually, I have flashed my phone with Indroid 6.0 ROM and it is good..then I got an option in recovery mode to flash kernel through which I successfully flashed this kernel (g3mod). How did you come to know that this kernel cn only be flashed through recovery mode and not through odin?

Also, for those kernel that can be flahed through odin, which file I need to select after selecting one package from the zip file in odin?
[Galaxy 3 General] sidzcool:
Well its because in recovery mode only zip files can be installed/flashed while in Odin only tar files. G3 mod kernel give both the files for user's preference. :-)
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
take from here tha flashing tools http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063940&highlight=stock

tick one package and the only field available is the .ops file

rdy to flash :)

about the kernel is as the guy above said:p
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
Thanks peter. I already flashed my phone with Indroid 6.0 and then flashed kernel with g3mod lite...now, I am calibrating the battery manually...does it works or should I caliberate using the battery caliberating app?

Also, how can I check if particular kernel is compatible with particular custom ROM?

OR every kernel is compatible with almost every custom ROM of same android version?
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
just use the app its the same(be sure to be 100% not just not charging more(100% in lockscreen))

these kernels,including the one i sent you, are made for froyo(all custom are froyo except from cm7) and have different versions for cm7 so its ok for almost all :)
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
what is cm7 version.....is it the name of dev who developed the kernel or kernel for gingerbread?
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
cm7 is a very popular custom rom.about cm7 and our phone is a custom rom (the only gingerbread 2.3.5) which need different kernel
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
ohh...just to confirm that cm7 is gingerbread 2.3.5 ROM?
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
cm7 exists for maaaaaaaaaaaaaaany phones thats why its so popular.the one for galaxy 3 is especially 2.3.5 check the developers section for more :)
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
thanks peter :)
[Galaxy 3 General] peter_baz:
you are wellcome :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BurnRubber90:
I'm getting one of them next week and i can't decide which one i should get.

I Want something i can play good 3D games on , and a phone that has many ROMS to choose from. This is an upgrade from my old crappy Moto Cliq. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BurnRubber90:
Anyone can help me deciding please? :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
If you liked your previous device, then you may want to go with the Atrix. If you want to have a newer feeling device, then go with the Sensation. Based on what you requested (roms and 3D games), then I would suggest the Sensation.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dataslycer:
the sensation would definitely be better for u plus the atrix needs a lot more effort if u wanna customize it with cyanogenmod or anything because of the locked bootloader.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doost650:
I keep searching for the official playstation games in the market of my Xperia Play and I can't fine them at all? But when i search for them from my web browser on my PC they come up but they say that "This Item is not available for your carrier"?? They were last night, I bought one from my phone?? Any reason why this would happen?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aranium:
Open playstation pocket and there will be a search button at the top right. Just click it and there will be 7 official psone games to buy.

Sent from my rooted R800a 2.3.3 BL locked
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doost650:
Thanks that helped!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
It took me a week to find that lol, they need to make it a little more obvious IMO
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doost650:
Now I'm having the problem again!! Everytime I click on the search button in the Playstation Pocket app it shows all the available PSone games but when I go to buy one it still says that the Item is not available to my carrier?? It was available last night now all of a sudden there all not 0_o

Edit: Nevermind I just restarted the phone and all is well again.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
just saw this

http://www.acsyndicate.net/verizon-motorola-droid-bionic-taken-off-the-shelves/

what the hell?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Wow wtf..

10char
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
Still available for sale on their website. Until other sources start reporting this I'll give it the same reaction I would give someone who told me they saw a UFO.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Haha nice...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] necroscopev:
Any other sites confirm this yet?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
hmm.. I was just at a Verizon store paying my bill and noticed that the Bionic wasn't on display anymore.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
The bionic was never on display at my store, even when it first came out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
Yup. Went into a Verizon store last week to buy a case, no Bionic in sight. Look, I'm not poking fun at the article but it just doesn't make any sense to me. Last night while I watched my Jets kick the crap out of Miami I saw 2 bionic commercials. They've invested way too much time and money to pull the plug.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Yep. And they advertised for like 5+ months before the release too..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
they had 2 Bionic's on display ay my store & no more. I was just at a Radio Shack right now to and they did not have the Bionic on display either. I asked about it and they said they took it down and wont be carrying it anymore(but did not know why). They did mention the RAZR though & pre-orders starting on the 27th.

[EDIT]: I just went into Best Buy Mobile(yes I am in a mall) and they did still have the Bionic on display. They aren't aware of it being discontinued but also did not know anything about the RAZR nor did they know the RAZR exsists......
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Hmm..here's a way of thinking...

They will be taking away the bionic from all sales locations after only a short period of sales.

They will start releasing all kinds of new and better phones...

Then out of nowhere....

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL BIONIC OWNERS!

The Bionic was being held back by a secret development group and has THIS THIS and THIS features that NO OTHER PHONE HAS AND NEVER WILL HAVE!

(see here to get these features installed onto your bionic)

This was being secretly planned from the time the bionic was even first created.

So another congrats to all of you who purchased the Bionic which was part of our secret test program that nobody knew about!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dadsterflip:
They better be giving us free early upgrades.

Or

Unlock bootloader since they won't be carrying it if this was the reason.

This would be the shortest Droid run ever. Well Droid Eris?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dadsterflip:
Read the new update on the website. It was pulled because of fullfillment issues.

Nothing else. Can't keep up with the orders as they say.

So we can rest easy at the moment
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
that's bloody b.s. I haven't gotten a Bionic just yet(was about to until the RAZR news today)... but then now I hear that this RAZR is going to have a non-removable battery. so what the hell... take away the Bionic for the RAZR and then we can't upgrade the batteries?!. what kind of b.s. is Motorola pulling?...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mitch8892:
They aren't pulling the plug, they can't keep up with the orders already placed. Read the update on the mydroidworld page.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dadsterflip:
Read what I post above you post.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] alodar1:
Hmm...I was in the store today at 5-I sh. Still there and still for sale. I showed the mgr this thread. She laughed..she said we sell alot of bionics.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...nic-pulled-shelves-temporarily-due-stock.html

Right there is a tip that the Droid Bionic has proven to be in such high demand that Verizon can't keep enough of a supply in their own stores.

Granted, you may get lucky and find a Best Buy, Walmart, or Radio Shack that has a few laying around. This news incident is ONLY for Verizon retail outlets.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rootuser3.0:
Wow so can we get a refund on the faulty device
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CC Lemon:
Did you even read the thread?

At what point did anyone even claim the device to be faulty? Read over the thread. Nothing is wrong with the bionic and there is no reason to believe it is being dropped already.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rootuser3.0:
I'm just speculating tough Guy why pull the plug on a new device unless something is wrong with it. Why even start a thread with that title is misleading. Chill relax grab a beer and a bi*ch and make her choke on the stick
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
If you actually read the thread, as was already pointed out, you'd know the answer.

Because this site is always on the cutting edge. A lot of times all details aren't available when a story first breaks - but thanks to the great user community, we eventually do get the rest of the story.

But anyway, please let us know how you make out getting that refund for your "faulty" device, I know I won't be able to sleep at night until this is resolved for you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TheBiles:
Well they just announced two phones that crush the Bionic for the same price that the Bionic launched at that will be available in under a month, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it gone.

Sent from my Droid Bionic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wanderfowl:
I'm not so sure about that. The Bionic is still the most flexible phone on the market at this performance level, as the Razr lacks a user-serviceable or extended battery, and the GNex lacks an SD slot. So, if you want a phone with 48 GB on board which lasts all day, the Bionic is still your only choice.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jesziicuh:
i could care less what the stores decide to do im.

only thing is i would like the phone to get into other peoples hand so we can get some devolpment such an awesome phone and the devs did great with the roms n tweaks.

i came from an evo which had a huge community and many roms so i would definitely like to see the same for my bionic.

but anyways super happy with my rooted bionic

we just need that pesky bootloader unplocked :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] JillyBohnson:
VZW offers a trade in value & I was curious after reading this. Compared the bionic to the HTC thunderbolt, both in same condition...

Tbolt - $130

Bionic -$112

Why is the bolt with more? I know this is VZW setting the price, but still.

https://www.trade-in.vzw.com/Home.aspx
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
Maybe its so they'll have more bolts to replace all the warranty claims, I went through 6 bolts before they sent me a bionic
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
From my experiences, HTC Androids typically have more roms than other manufacturers have. I believe the reason is that the framework between their various devices is very similar to each other. I'm sure other members could give more specific details than I can, but I believe that's the basics of it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
There was as many roms for the Droid X as my t bolt. Also the framework on the X was the same until gingerbread, then it was the same with all gingerbread roms and updates. With the thunderbolt I had a hard time porting from one Rom/update to the next because the framework had changed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AtLemacks:
I am going to throw my 2 cents in. Verizon wants to still make $$ off the device you JUST recently bought. If they up the trade in value people will jump ship to a new phone sooner and they will take a hit. Like I posted in another thread on the X2 forum, Verizon spends $350/ea everytime you send a phone in for Warranty to refurb it. It could just cost less to refurb a Bionic than a Bolt.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
let's just say to hell with all this Android b.s. and get the iphone 4S.

common dudes.. one word...

SIRI

⌐_⌐ ......
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mngdew:
wtf. Does this mean VZW has sold unsellable item to their customers?

If so, VZW must issue a recall of already sold Bionics all long with refund and reinstate of upgrades.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
Wait, what?!?

Why is no one reading this thread???

It "may" be temporarily pulled due to demand.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dakota0206:
Which is more pathetic, that you can't read, or that you're too lazy to?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sir_Eagle:
Most of you people crack me up. Who cares if they quit selling them for whatever reason, I got mine and it works fine, beats the hell out of my last phone (Eris). There is always a better one coming out, big deal. And I got mine 4 days ago at a Verizon corporate store.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BFirebird101:
So if I want the galaxy nexus could I trade get it for 2 year activation price or something like that?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pablocasiano:
I've been looking at the bionic,its fast as hell,I'm up for an upgrade too,I should buy it,the razor looks sexy but its all locked up,battery can't be upgraded,not good.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosit1:
If you're like me, a servicable battery is not a question, it's a feature. I need to be able to interchange batteries to make it throughout the day, or else I die of juice.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cstrife999:
I thought it was common knowledge by now but I guess not. They can't keep up with demand and are pulling floor units until they can restock.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
They don't crush the Bionic. The hardware bumps are quite insignificant and won't "outdate" the Bionic. Hell all the new Android phones are outdated, the moment they come out derp. I mean damn shelf life for smartphones used to be a year, now thanks to Android it's dropped down to 6 months for "offical carrier life time". I wouldn't be surprised if it's dropped down to 2-3 months now. Just because it's not the carriers "flag ship" anymore does it make it a bad phone? Everyone that buys Android knows this by now, there will always be something with marginally better hardware specs, or something that's supposed to be better by leaps and bound on paper. But then when the phone that's supposed to destory them comes out and it's barely better than what you have. Android just pumps hardware and hope it renders the software issues not as noticeable.

It is very tiring to see device after device after device come out yes. But honestly 100-200 mhz isn't going to be light and day in terms of performance. I do hope that ICS will change the face of the game and we see massive performance improvements. Hopefully then wont see phone after phone after phone with small bumps in hardware to try to make up for software deficiency. I could care less about the AMOLED screen vs the bionic display, I've experienced both and can live with either or. Built in battery yuck, no SD card da fuq? NFC do not care until I can use it to pay everywhere.

The emotional cycle of an Android phone buyer.

Get's new "flagship phone" :D ---> few months passes still happy:p---> Hears/sees rumors of another high end device:( ---> Questions themself about their purchase :confused: ---> Sees rumors are true,and thinks hey maybe the specs are identical and is in denial :eek: --> seems minor bumps in hardware are true and rages :mad:. The never ending cycle of Android.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
Yet I "bought" one via dfill cause of a special offer like 2 days ago derp.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cvmaas:
The Bionic is dead, this has nothing to do with supply issues, as is clear by the number of people who have purchased a Bionic recently. This is a face saving measure on VZW's part to avoid losing customers on the next Upgrade cycle. Moto dropped the ball this year and rolled out their improvements incrementally. The Razr is Moto's 4th "flagship" phone to be sold this year, while VZW got rid of the 1 year contracts! (Jan-April: Droid X, May-Aug: Droid X2, Sept-Oct: Bionic, Nov-Dec: Razr)

By selling the Bionic now, when just 1 week after its return date ends the Nexus and Razr will be launched is suicide. We are trying to play this off by saying "there is always something better in a couple months", but this is different. That something better was from another manufacturer, or on another carrier. No other manufacturer on any other carrier has had 4 "flagship" phones available in less than a year.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
Bionic dead? <MOD EDIT>
