[Xperia Play General] turbocrow:
So I will be buying a Sony Xperia play hopefully which is two months old and on orange. No box just phone and charger and the back-light is broken.

Will I be able to get it repaired for free because of its age ? I will be able to fix it but I prefer the company doing it. Thanks
[Xperia Play General] turbocrow:
anyone I also need it on O2 thanks.
[Xperia Play General] SkaterOllie795:
You might. It depends as Sony can be strict to sending phones back for a warranty.

Here's a helpful link http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/835/2/1192957031/LimitedWarranty_R1c_EN.pdf

Read the part wrote under the heading "Conditions"

I recently send my Play back for warranty even though I bought it second hand so I wouldn't worry about the part which says that you need a proof of purchase. Just make sure you don't mention that you got it from someone else ;)

We received our Samsung Galaxy II phones a few days ago.

My wife had a Swiftkey and Swiftkey X keyboard apps in her Amazon appstore account. She installed Swiftkey X, and she was presented with an "update" that showed Swiftkey (not the X; apparently this is an issue with Amazon appstore based on Swiftkey site). Thinking that it was an update to the Swiftkey X, she apparently applied it, and immediately there were number of FC notices (she remembers seeing TWLauncher among them) and a spontaneous reboot of the phone. Then, she couldn't get online either through WiFi or 4G. At that point she gave the phone to me to fix it :rolleyes:

Comparing her phone side by side with mine it is very clear that there's an issue with network connectivity. While mine flies through the pages, market downloads, etc. either on WiFi or 4G, hers get stock for 3-5 seconds before opening pages or sometimes just displays a "webpage cannot be found" or "connection error".

I went ahead and did a factory restore, but that seems to only delete user account, personal files, etc. if I understand it correctly. Moreover, the issue is still there after the restore. So, is there a way to restore the system files to stock as well? Can it be done without rooting, or does it require loading a fresh ROM?

Sorry for the lengthy message and thanks in advance!

Everything goes back to stock.

You need to either:

1. Root

2. Install CWM through ROM Manager

3. Flash this

Or:

1. ODIN flash CWM

2. Flash this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
Dude. That's a half ass way, it doesn't take you to stock. First of all its deodexed.. Just a sec

This is the only proper way to go back to stock THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenderidol:
Thanks again for the replies. So, I'm going to have to root it and put a stock image back I gues... I was hoping that SII had a fail safe similar to Nook Color where you can easily go back to stock if something was not right.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
you dont have to root it to run the odin package :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenderidol:
Oh, sorry about that. I'm a newbie for the SII rooting/modding (did quite a bit with Nook Color), and I need to do some reading first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] voidthedroid:
Smart man!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenderidol:
:D

Alright, I'm halfway through. The rooting process for the SII is little different than NC, but the principles are the same.

By the way, is it safe to assume that some conflict between SwiftKey and SwiftKey X caused the problem on her phone? The reason I ask is because I'd like to put SwiftKey X on my SII (it has multi-language support) and I dont want to deal with the same issue if it was the culprit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenderidol:
I believe I did enough reading at this point :)

Since this doesn't involve rooting (now I understand it), I'd like to get an "OK" from the guru before proceeding with the following "as newbie as it gets" steps:

1.	Install Odin (v1.85)

2.	Install Kies for the recent GSII drivers

3.	Make sure Windows recognizes the phone in ODIN (seeing <ID:0/004> Added!! in the message box)

4.	Turn off the phone

5.	Turn on the phone by holding both the Vol-up and Vol-down buttons and plug the USB cable in while still holding both buttons

6.	Select volume up button to proceed to download mode

7.	Start Odin

8.	Check the PDA button in Odin and browse to “T989UVKID_HOME_SGH-T989user_CL594724_REV00.tar.md5” file

9.	Click Start in Odin and let it flash

10.	Once it completes and reboots…..

Is that it? At Step 10, it should boot into a 100% T-Mo stock, right? Just to be sure, I’ll perform a factory reset after that point and start all over with the user files, apps, etc.

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
Sounds good. But if you look in the stickied threads top of this forum the drivers for our phone are posted. No need to install kies but that does work also
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
The "factory reset" you used IS the fail safe. The parts that "factory reset" doesn't remove is the part that won't be messed up unless you are rooted. So I don't even know how you touched /system etc without rooting...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenderidol:
Thanks a lot!

Just finished flashing the stock image and everything worked as expected. This was also a good practice to learn how to restore it to stock in case something goes bad.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenderidol:
The issue was created after installing a 3rd party keyboard and -by accident- applying an update that was supposed to be for a slightly different version, which resulted in numerous force closes and random reboots immediately. I might be wrong here, but that indicates that more than just the user files were affected, since deleting just user files via factory reset didn't help the network problem. However, flashing the stock image -without rooting- took care of the problem.

hi everyone im new to the forum and wanted to say my god i love this forum ,all you guys help each other and im glad to be part of this forum .=) i have the htc evo 4g and its rooted .i just flashed miui rom and love it ,however,i wanted to know how i can load the call of duty bootanimation to this rom if possible .and i have 3 roms backed up that are all 3 the same how can i delete 2 of them thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
1. Download the animation, re-name it to bootanimation

2. Place it on the root of your sd card, using a root file explorer [es file explorer, root explorer, ect] move it to /system/media and overwrite the existing one

3. Use a file manager to explore your sd card. You'll see a folder called clockwork if on cwm recovery, or nandroid if on amon ra. Open then folder and you'll see all your backups. Simply delete the ones you don't want
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g35slammed:
i have the miui rom .i have done this before and still wont work .can i delete everything i see with bootanimation? and just download a link with bootanimation and put it on my sd card ? and i figured out how to delete the back ups i did not want anymore thanks a bunch .i am using nandroid back up
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Check for the /data/local folder for the bootanimation.zip [ I haven't used MIUI, but its either in /system/media or /data/local]
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g35slammed:
i went to date /local/using root explorer and get 3 folders one folder says parent folder second folder says download third folder says tmp now i go to systems and i see a folder called bootanimation.zip is that the folder im doing it as i type to you
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You're in /system/media? What is the path exactly?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g35slammed:
root eplorere its mounted as r/o i go to system and i see bootanimation .zip and i scroll down to media and if i open media i see audio bootanimation than bootanimation.zip than cod-bootanimation-aosp which is the bootanimation i want on my evo than gadget than lockscreen and so on
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You need to delete the original bootanimation.zip, then rename cod-bootanimation-aosp to bootanimation [should still be .zip], reboot, and you should be good.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g35slammed:
the cod bootanimation-aosp does not say zip next to it .does that mean its not zipped ? how do i know the bootanimation.zip is the original one ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g35slammed:
looking at the bootanimation folders i have about 3 folders with the name bootanimation if i long press the folder it saids i can zip the folder
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Also make sure you're mounted as r/w. Long press it and hit rename, it should still be .zip, just doesn't show on the preview. Then do what I said previously.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g35slammed:
i just switched it to r/w and i can only find the bootanimation file under s/d card and when i open the folder this is what it shows five files 1 file is parent folder 2 folder DS-STORE THIRD FILE ANDROID FOURTH FILE BOOTANIMATION.ZIP FIFTH FILE DESC.TXT WHEN I CLICK ON FOURTH FILE WHICH IS BOOTANIMATION.ZIP I GET THIS PARENT FOLDER TWO DS-STORE FOLDERS THAT HAVE A LITTLE YELLOW STAR ON THEM .NEXT FOLDER META-NF AND SYSTEM HOW CAN I START THE PROCESS FROM SCRATCH

I was following some guy called zeromax on youtube .i did what he said to do and still not worked
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well you saw all those folders because you opened the bootanimation.zip zip, which you don't need to.

1. from the sd card, copy the renamed cod bootanimation, that has been renamed to bootanimation.zip

2. go to /system/media, delete the bootanimation.zip in there

3. paste your bootanimation.zip in its place, done.

My post 2 above is the 'restart' from the beginning.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
On MIUI you apply boot animations through the Theme Manager. You can either pm me a link to the animation and I'll make you a mtz to apply through theme manager, or you can follow the normal directions. If you do it the same way you would do it on any other rom, you have to go into theme manager afterwards and reapply the default animation. You would do so by going to customize at the bottom of the main screen, then choose boot animation and select the default one. You may need to choose another before you're given the option to apply the default. If you don't have one then youcan download one from the theme manager.

MIUI is different from other roms in many ways, but theming is much easier as well. If you ever need help getting certain things working on MIUI, feel free to pm me. I've been running it for over six months and know it better than I know stock Android or Sense.

Edit: You can also place the boot animation in /data/system/theme/boots, name it bootanimation.zip, set permissions to rw-r--r--, and reboot. Applying through theme manager is easiest if you're not familiar with modifying system files. As I already mentioned, I'd be happy to make an mtz for you.

your the man dude .wow i finaly got it with what you said to do my god but it has no sound lol is that normal .im happy i was able to do this lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You can add the boot sound through the Theme Manager. If you have the mp3, open theme manager. Select customize at the bottom, select boot sound, then choose the music app to find the sound.

I replied to your pm, do you still need me to make the theme? It's best to have the theme on hand. It'll take less than 15 minutes for me to make it, so if you want it just respond to my pm. I get notification that way, I might forget to check the thread.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeandjaimie:
Okay here's the deal.. I currently have an HTC Desire, and I recently tried the SGSII.. My desire is a FREAKING TANK! I cant hurt it no matter what I do, including sending it flying across the room more times then I care to admit.. the glass has one tiny light scratch from when it spent a day in my pocket with my keys.. The SGSII on the other hand, I dropped it (rather gently) from my pocket the day I got it, and the case got a huge ugly gouge!

We've all seen the video of the guy taking his keys to the glass, which is what you should be able to do with any smartphone, but how does the actual case housing stand up? anyone got any stories of terrible incidents it survived unblemished?

I am hard on my phones.. I dont deny it, so I want something that will handle a beating and I'm kinda skeptical of Samsung after my experience with the SGSII.

P.S. my alternate is the Amaze

I too had a Desire and I have to say I am very pleased with the build quality of the GN. I can't say I've thrown my brand new phone across the room or even dropped it yet (I'm not the most accident prone) but it seems to be a sturdy piece of kit!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If you were unimpressed by the build quality/durability of the SGSII casing, not much is going to change with your feelings on the GN. Its built pretty much out of the same materials. You're best off sticking with an extra case if you get it.

Dropping it on carpet just proves that the screen/internals won't break from a hard fall. I think what OP is referring to in the case of his old SGSII is big gouges or scratches in the casing, which the GN will probably suffer from the same way.

Yes I was referring to actually dropping it.. Every other week my desire gets knocked off the living room table, or the like. I don't actively throw it or go out of my way to be rough, but we have an active house, And things happen. I guess I'll have to look into a very slim case, as I usually just toss it in my Jeans front pocket And go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Good to know.. but with my luck, having an extra case on hand in case of a disaster would jinx me. Then if I dropped it the screen would probably shatter...lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kam187:
Well there was that thread where a guy cracked his screen.

The bit that worried me was when a second guy posted his cracked too. He put it in his pocket as normal, got to work and the screen was cracked :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Sounds like BS to me. There had to be something in his pocket putting a lot of pressure on the glass. And he must wear some skin tight jeans for that to happen... or something bashed his phone.

I always put my phones in my jeans pocket. OG Droid, and Nexus S. Always keep that pocket empty but my phone.

Thats because part of the 512mb is used for the gpu. So if 345 is used by system then 167mb is used for the gpu. Thus it looks like its little. But trust me it boosts your graphics intensive stuff.

[Android General] timginter:
Ok. My first post, so hello everyone, I'm the new noob on this forum ;) If you don't know what I'm talking about - see the damn movie, noob :P

To the gist:

1) I noticed a couple of similar topics on phone-specific forums, went through them (unbelievable how much flaming and bs is there on this forum, by the way), but it seemed like most of them were purely guessing as to what may be the cause of drainage. If I missed something I'll be grateful for links

2) I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S2, but I post it here since I noticed other phones with Android (including those with new Gingerbread) have the same issue - the battery is being drained enormously when the phone signal is poor, so I think it might be an OS issue rather than a particular device

I had SGS2 for almost 2 month now and only today did I notice a huge drop in battery life. From 5 to 6 days (this is not the thread for battery life tips. Send me a PM if you want to know how and what I did to get it last so long or I can post another topic on the SGS2 forum and explain everything I've done to my phone, just don't spam this thread) to around 1 day (it's been 22,5 hours and the battery level is 27%)

The only thing that changed is my phone signal - I live in the centre of a town so usually the signal strength is good, but I had a really windy weather and I guess something got destroyed, as I had to try around 5 times even to send a text message. Anyways, this is where the guessing part comes in - with usually 5, 6 days on a battery I can pretty much rule out everything else than phone signal since I don't use anything else (hubs social, music, etc. uninstalled, voice search and voice command uninstalled, StreetView uninstalled, etc. All via TitaniumBackup)

Spec (not sure what might me useful, posted what think may be the basics):

- Android 2.3.5

- Baseband: I9100XXKI4

- Kernel: 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.0.5+ninpo@titan #20

- VillainRom 3.0

- Free version of LauncherPro

- I have wifi, gps, bluetooth off, I turn them on only when I need them; same with data network mode, but I hardly ever use it and I didn't turn it on today anyway

- no fancy widgets, no fancy processes in the background

- I used my phone as I usually do - some calls, messages, some music, bit of market and web browsing on wifi

The question is not about battery life itself or battery saving tips but about how the Android system handles signal searching and what does it do when the signal is weak. I assume similar battery drainage would occur in every-day situations, f.e. while using the tube, tunnels or living in some mobile-network ****-hole :P

Any ideas on a specific cause? Any on how it may be improved? I'm not thinking about software-side, like turning on "Flight mode" or some apps (though I'll be grateful for any ideas). I mean more of an OS solution, maybe something will help to improve Android further

Hey, everyone. Using your AMAZING n00b guide and overall lurking of this website for several months since January I've done quite a few awesome things with this phone. Currently I am running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0-Ba2tF-Olympus (any further information how I got there can be provided if necessary). I'm having a slight issue though. I've noticed that sometimes I'll randomly have no data or cellular service what-so-ever. To gain access to data and cellular service at that point I will then have to restart the phone, wait for it to boot, turn on WiFi, wait for that to connect, use an application like Browser or Facebook to test connectivity, if data transmits then I'm good, then AND ONLY after I go through all that can I disable WiFi and connect through regular data and cellular channels. I was wondering if this has happened to any of you and if anyone had any idea on how to fix it?

If you need clarification I'd be more than happy to try and sort my explanation out for you.

Thank you all in advance and I hope to hear from you soon!
