[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kag8:
finally got the phone. love it. but it sure lags a lot.

needs a custom rom real bad. was thinking of asking cyanogenmod to setup a donation thing and if we all donated 10$ and after 100 owners they can buy it and start developing. I'm sure loads of people will gladly donate even the Japanese and Australian users.

EDIT: Finally cut my sim card to fit the slot, but now phone says it is locked! Anyone know how I can unlock it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrixl:
Yes, you need to go to a DoCoMo shop with a valid Japanese ID card, and ask for the sim unlock. Costs 3150 yen. There's no other method AFAIK...

Very few of these online Keitai sellers sell unlocked phones, even though now DoCoMo can unlock their models released starting April 1 2011.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auru:
Agree with you.

It's also heating too fast while Wi-Fi working.

I like this phone for camera and 4.7 screen and waterresist but I'm a bit dissapointed during using this phone. Why Docomo don't give updates outside Japan? maybe new firmware could help with battery use and heating, but I need to have a deal with the first firmware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
Overheating

I suppose that in my case a factor seriously contributing to the phone overheating is the silicon case. After an hour of game play I can barely hold it - but not just the bottom, the display is also very hot...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackwp:
Hi folks, I am in NZ and I am getting much better battery life than this.

Basically heat = power (electricity is 100% efficient at generating heat) so if it is getting hot you are using battery.

I run WiFi and 3G all day, as I run a SIP client, and I use my browser regularly, email sync turned on and a RDP remote desktop app, but I can usually get through the day on a charge.

Things that use big battery are...

1. GPS apps (turn off gps when not being used)

2. Gamming (to be expected)

3. Not running the right frequencies for you provider . If The phone is transmitting to a weak or distant point it will use a lot of battery (and get hot). Check your operators frequencies and turn off the ones not needed (3g or gsm) under Mobile network settings.

I know there is a lot of focus on the Docomo 'bloat ware' but to be fair it doesnt really use any battery and tends to sit in the background doing nothing and as the phone has tons of memory it really doesnt matter.

BTW, I actually really like the "Home" theme that comes with the phone. Switch to it as it is actually pretty nice and way better than the Docomo default one (settings-applications-home applications).

I also use the "3D" enabled bamboo wallpaper which looks really impressive to my mates :-)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
That's some achievement!

Yeah, I don't use GPS but I do play this addictive shooting game for roughly 30-50 minutes a day, which is the most battery draining thing. When not at home and have time to kills or need to find some info, I use the browser obviously. Any usage of the phone where the screen is on and it is actively transmitting is petty heavy on the battery.

I must run 3G/GSM AUTO because there are a couple of spots in town where 3G is out. However, after talking to my carrier's reps yesterday, I got them to increase the signal from the tower nearest to my flat as the phone kept switching between GSM and 3G sitting on my desk. It's fine now, it doesn't lose 3G signal, and battery life should improve.

Yeah, guess you're right. It's just annoying to see such a long list of apps which you didn't start and which seem/are pretty useless.

Me too! I like the "Home" theme best. The Palette UI is horrible. I also tried the ICS launcher, and while is appears to work nicely flipping the screens, the app drawer is laggy - I compare the speed with which the icons "arrive" from "outside the screen" and then are "dispersed" when exiting to my friend's Galaxy SII where he's flashed a custom ROM - and it's like his phone has at least an extra processing core :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BTatHome:
Wish someone would come up with a custom ROM for this phone. I just want a pretty standard build of android :(

I'm close to selling up as I think we western users may end up not being able to get the impeding update .... Or I'll end up with it full of the DoCoMo trash.

How many people have had experience with reflashing these handsets with ROM's ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
I think someone will figure out the URL to spoof in order to update the phone outside of Japan (same method as for updating the SH-12C). Otherwise, find someone who lives in Japan and has the same phone and is willing to perform the update for you (for some fee).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryu Kenshin:
My phone's just returned from Japan after boot loop incident. There, I've to pay hefty price for motherboard replacement because Docomo doesn't produce SH-01D anymore. :(

By the way, after my phone's been recovered, Docomo update it to build 01.00.02. Now I cannot root my phone by anyway i know of. Funny! :o
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interfreak:
I've purchased the SH-06D, which is similar to the SH-01D.

Any progress on root?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryu Kenshin:
This is your solution, use google translate for japanese, it's pretty close to my SH-01D guide on page 13: http://itsuki.ddo.jp/gadget/index.php?SH-06D:good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BTatHome:
Is there any specific reason for me to try and root my SH-01D at the moment. Rooting other devices has usually been specifically to allow me to put another ROM on the device. As I don't know of any ROM,what would be the advantage for me to root my phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryu Kenshin:
Root SH-01D will let you install some apps that need root like market changer, or root explorer, ... But SH-01D doesn't have any rom or recovery, there's no way to access recovery or download mode also. :laugh:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trution:
I don't dare to root it. >.< Unless theres a rom for me to flash to. IF its samsung HTC etc, i only dare to do it.

Anyway, i wonder you guys, as SH-01D owners, how do you manage to maintain a charge of your phone for the whole day? Like, do you guys always put ur phone setting under "Emergency" Eco mode? And many battery saving apps? THe phone seem to deplete real real fast. And theres no compatible larger batteries (Other than the one 80mAh bigger) battery. Seem like everyone bought this phone also bought an external battery pack.

I do hope to have a clean rom, free from docomo etc etc for this phone. And Softbank already got ICS out of the box for same model ( 102SH) compared to docomo's.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
If I expect to use the phone a lot, I take the charger with me - there's always a socket somewhere in the rooms I teach in :) But I hardly ever have to be away from home or a place where I can charge it for more than 6-7 hours. I don't use any of the eco modes, and I have data sync ON at all times.

Sadly the portable-solar-large-capacity-battery-charger (4500 mAh) I've got doesn't work with Sharp Androids - it works with other brands and it also works with the SH-01B but I have no intention on spending even more money on extra or external batteries.

Hope ICS will improve battery life.

I haven't attempted to root it. Has anyone who's rooted it - and disabled some of the built in apps that run all the time - noticed any improvement in battery life?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BTatHome:
Just two reasons for me to not use the SH-01D everyday. First the battery doesn't last long enough (on marginal signal I get even worse battery life), and the bloatware that exists. Even after trimming the apps to cleanup the interface there is still too much running, and the DCM interface is just not nice for me. Saving used a HTC One X for a while I would love the SH-01D with a standard ICS interface, even better if a Sense version could be shoehorned into it ;)

Battery saving tip

Hi all,

In an attempt to discover where my battery life is going I have been running an app called 'System monitor' and also 'Battery Mix' and I have discovered where all our battery goes.

These apps log CPU usage per app.

The culprit is "PhonebookService". This guy is using 30% of CPU for long periods of time doing heavens knows what. (this makes your phone warm)

This is a Sharp app and if you root your phone you can stop it, but I haven't wanted to risk bricking my phone and have been waiting of ICS.

So...what I have done is used an app called DX Toolbox (free)

This app allows you to create 'blacklist apps' so that every time you turm off the screen it will kill the apps in the blacklist.

PhonebookService will re-spawn but by putting it in the black list I am keeping it under control and this means that I get through a whole day now easy.

Hope this helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryu Kenshin:
Hey, never touch phonebook app or you end up a brick like me, this app has many errors in it and only fix in 01.00.08 build. By the way, it hardly code to the system to support Docomo services so disable it means trouble. :silly:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackwp:
Thanks for the feedback. That is why I don't want to root the phone.

Phonebook seems to run ok for an hour, or so, and then goes 'spastic'.

By auto killing Phonebook each time I turn the screen off it seems to keep it under control. I think the system restarts it again immediately, which is why the phone keeps on working just fine, but it is definitely helping my battery.

Because it has restarted it doesn't pound my CPU and that I can see from the logs of the monitoring apps.

I wish I could get a newer build. I'm still on 01.00.01
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berniebennybernard:
Didn't this phone just come out like six months ago? How is it at the end of its product cycle already?!

I'm waiting for the ICS update to come faster.. I am going to send it to Japan to Kyoto Exports so he can update it for me. I bought a pocket charger off him, and he replied to all my emails, so I believe he is very reputable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interfreak:
You should be able to upgrade to ICS over the air, I don't think you'd need to send it back to Japan.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BTatHome:
Fingers crossed that is true, but not seen anything yet to confirm that 100%
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berniebennybernard:
I've been told that the ICS update requires all the previous updates, and that requires a live Docomo SIM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interfreak:
That doesn't make sense...who told you this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
Of course it does make sense. The logic is no different from the logic applied for all other Sharp Android phones that have received an OS upgrade, whether on SoftBank, on Docomo, or AU. Which is why the only phone that was successfully upgraded without sending to Japan was the SH-12C - and all thanks so a couple of guys who elaborated this clever method of spoofing the DNS/URLs being checked and tricking the phone into thinking it already had the minor updates before it could proceed to the major.

It will either be another trick of that [SH-12C] sort for us, who aren't in Japan, or sending it to Japan.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interfreak:
Hmmm I'd bet that the SH-01D and SH-06D will be able to update to ICS over normal WiFi...

Well know within a few weeks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martindesu:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
The difference here is that the tablet isn't carrier-branded, it's a Sharp gadget. Whereas the SH-01D and others aren't really Sharp, they are Docomo, which is made by Sharp. This changes things.

Plus, if you will notice, this update procedure isn't available for the Docomo tablet, which is the same model, just has a different model number (SH-07C).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trution:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BTatHome:
Unfortunately the phone would have to be much more successful to get that kind of support.

Shame as its awesome hardware, seriously let down by the amount of trash on the phone for those not using DoCoMo sim cards.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martindesu:
Even though I am using a Docomo SIM card, there is still a ton of trash. This phonebook service app is seriously annoying, for example.

Only people whose phones are on Docomo and in Japan. And that's just a minor update, which fixes a problem with IR communication and a problem with SDXC cards (which is strange because the SH-01D only supports up to 32GB cards).

don't have to be

in Japan or on SoftBank to install it. But that's SoftBank and a new model... Already released models, such as the SH-01D, are probably hard-coded not to "see" the available updates unless running on the home carrier network.
