[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Matchstick:
I'm currently getting dreadful wifi stability on my SK17i Mini Pro while connected to my work PEAP wifi hotspot.

I've been poking around and I've noticed that the Mini Pro appears to always connect with a 54Mbps link speed and doesn't reduce it when the connection proves unreliable (by comparison my HTC Evo 3D is using a 19Mbps connection to exactly the same AP and is pretty much rock steady).

So I'm wondering if there's an easy way to force the Mini Pro to use a lower link speed (without altering the AP's settings, which I have no control over) ?

Does this app backup saved games such as tapfish and guns n glory ww2 and how do you restore when flashing a new rom?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
Yeah it does, then you just re-download the app and restore your data but I have had problems with it restoring the saved information. I have only tried the free version, maybe the paid one works better
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wolfepakt:
Or you can create a flashable zip from within the app that you can then flash in recovery after you flash your ROM.

(this does work on the sk4g right?)

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] neoissuperman:
The paid one is totally worth it. Resoring is MUCH easier.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loxxy:
Work colleague has nailed her Desire, only boots as far as the HBOOT screen, cant use volume rocker to select fastboot, recovery, clear storage or simlock.

Have followed various threads, downloaded Android SDK, AlphaRev etc etc which dont recognise the device has been connected, all tried without HTC sync drivers installed and uninstalled, even HTC Desire 2.3 RUU rom update attempted.

Colleague advises it is rooted, i suspect this is not the case, out of my comfort zone - will leave handset charging - will it take a charge from HBOOT menu using microusb mains charger ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
poweroff, hold back & power. It should boot into fastboot. then run the 2.3 RUU
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Please try to keep subject lines descriptive. "Desire help" in a Desire help forum doesn't give much to go on. You may not attract helpful members as they want to know a brief synopsis of the issue before opening a thread.

I only opened the thread to type this tbh.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loxxy:
apologies, unable to use volume up or down to select

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.93.001

MICROP-031d

RADIO-5.11.05.2

So looks like S-ON is enabled after all, ah well
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Just to clarify, S-OFF and root are two different things.

It does sound like either a hardware of software issue, possibly the latter.

Like Bortak suggests, it may be worth running a RUU from fastboot (ROM Upgrade utility) from a PC to wipe and completely set everything as default.

If Hboot still broken, probably hardware but should be good for a warranty return.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loxxy:
Ok shes fessed up shes dropped it a few times lol

I suspect battery is not holding its charge unable to flash with HTC RUU constantly advises under 30% battery charge, stuck on bootloader screen.

Handset is missing the rear cover and has a dirty big scratch across the screen... yes my thoughts.

Unable to detect handset in linux environment (vmware)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Sometimes with certain issues, the battery does report that. Only other way is to get a PB99IMG.zip on the root of the SD card. Hboot prompts to install but you need volume button functionality to work.

I am betting it is a hardware issue though, due to accidental damage.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SielickiN:
Basically this phone has been crashing and both att stores I went to said since I made the purchase through web id have to do an exchange. Which I am through the first 30 day exchange program. Got another MB860 in the mail. Im concerned though, because this one has previously been unlocked and rooted (now is neither) but from what I've reqd it physically blows a fuse. will they check it and bill me when they notice?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SielickiN:
I realize how dumb or a mistake this was so you don't need to tell me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malfuncion:
The insurance claims for AT&T are done though a 3rd party, Asurion. More than likely you wont get billed if it was back to "factory" when you sent it in. These people dont put them under the microscope, they are moving too many units to really do it. From my personal experience they take the ones that are repairable and refurb, the others they toss. If the phone was salvagable, they send them back out into the wild. My g/f's warranty replacement already had the pudding applied, which more than likley leads me to believe it was a screen defect unit (when I got it I went through the fastboot steps of doing pudding and got already unlocked screen without flashing the pudding sbf).

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you are alright.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SielickiN:
Thanks for the fast response. I hope you are right. When I power the phone on it doesn't have the "unlocked" text so the only way they could actually tell would be to check the fuse (either physically looking at it or qwerying it through software). But I hope you're right.

[HTC Desire S] ferro_sk:
Hello all,

I have 2 questions please

1.) Is there any (hidden) service menu available on HTC Desire S? I mean some service mode menu like you can access i.e. on ZTE phones by typing some special code in phone dialer... In such service menu there are tools for checking/calibration all phone sensors, etc.

2.) or, Is there any Proximity sensor calibration tool available that is working on Desire S? I found proximity recalibrator developed for Desire HD (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=951858) but this one is not working with Desire S at least when running stock kernel... (btw, anyone succeeded in running it on DS with custom ROM?)

I'm looking for the calibration tool because I had the issue with my proximity sensor and I had no other option as to send my DS to HTC service centre to check/re-calibrate the sensor... Maybe, in future I could fix such issue by myself with appropriate tool if any ;-)

thanks

Fero.

Great phone but it is thirsty for battery..

Are theyre any threads or tricks tips to lengthen the life ..I have had many phones and found mods that work except for the photon!!!

I am rooted thats it but bootloader is still locked! Possibly a kernel flash? Or rom?

You can install joker kernel and undervolt as well as putting profiles thru setcpu. Lower screen brightness all the way down. Just a few if the top of my head.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lojak29:
Can i flash roms and kernels with only being rooted? Or do i need to unlock?

And whats being used on photon?

Does rom manager have cwm built in or does photon require a flashable cwm or bootstrap?

Seems everything is not as easy as was on the evo.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
He has both options locked and unlocked and I don't think ron manager works for the photon

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruggs1234:
I have an unrooted HTC Desire locked to Virgin running 2.22.351.3.

I use Twonkey server on my laptop and Skifta or Imediashare on my phone.

What I would like to do is play avi files stored on my Desire over my dlna network onto my tv. But I understand I cant do this as the Desire does not natively support avi's, so the dlna software doesnt see the avi files. (something to do with "Android registry" not being set to deal with avi's). MP4's work fine as does music and mpegs.

My backup LG GT540 does work ok, as it natively supports avi's. Very frustrating!

Now, I love my Desire, so, before I go and buy a Samsung Galaxy S2 (which will work, apparently), is there ANY way to get avi's to work over dlna. (P.S. I dont want to convert the videos)

Many thanks in advance.

how come i cannt get the lumia to work as a normal usb hard drive?

also if i have a song/mp3 file why cant i set it as a ring tone?
[Nokia Lumia 800] lumpaywk:
Neither of these features is supported in windows phone. You can get around the ringtone issue with apps but i keep mine on silent so i cant recommend any.

As for the storage issue its one of the prices you pay just like vpn but Microsoft do have a suggestions site you can add you vote to get these added. Personally i don't think they will add mass storage as they want to move more to cloud based but there you go. I wouldn't let it put you off but rather you can buy a usb memory stick for about £15 and then you wont also have to take a usb cable around with you.
[Nokia Lumia 800] andy_con:
wow really thats poor, very poor. so i have a choice of like 20 crappy ring tones only

Since then though i dont think i have ever got this love for ringtones at all. I think its just me. Either way i didnt mean to give the impression you where stuck with whats on there but rather you just needed to go about it in a different way. That phone also had a scroller on the side it really did rock cant beleive i forget what it was.

I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem. Out of the blue my phone has started going black when making a call rather than waiting for me to put it next to my ear. If I turn it on the proximity sensor still doesn't work, and my face will just start pressing buttons is I don't manager turn the screen off. Any ideas on how to fix this? The phone is stock.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MillionManMosh:
Are you using some kind of bulky case, or a screen protector that covers the light and proximity sensors (to the right of the earpiece)? If so, that's usually the cause.

If not, you probably have a faulty sensor cluster.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronash:
Hello,

I tried flashing this ROM. Something went wrong, not quite remember what - I think it was the verification.

As a result (I had to wipe before installing), my screen got stuck on the G1 screen. I followed these instructions, and installed the linked DREAIMG-RC29.zip. When I rebooted my phone, I was asked to sign in to my Google account, an operation which failed because I'm not on an Internet plan (3G).

I tried installing other ROMs but they all failed for one reason or another - mostly verification issues. I have no idea why, I've rooted my phone and everything.

In any case, I'd like to use a newer version of Android whatsoever, so logging in isn't really the problem (although right now it is because I cannot use the phone).

Thank you for your help.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] executionist:
Recently after installing battery monitor widget I was able to see exactly how much battery was being used every 5 minutes.

After a reboot the phone will usually use 2mA-6mA every 5 minutes but if I receive a text message this jumps to around 45mA and the drain remains on 45mA per 5 minutes. During calls the drain is around 110mA per 5 mins which makes me think that 45mA is really alot for the phone to be using while idle. What I end up doing is rebooting the phone after every text message which has started to annoy me right now.

Also I did try freeing ram and killing all apps but the drain will just not drop to the 2mA.

Has anyone got some tips or a workaround to this problem?
