Recently I installed on my Sony Ericsson Live with walkman (WT19a) several games.

Most of the games are running great without any lags (Guerilla Bob, Wind-Up Knight, Angry Birds etc.), but I got a weird problem with Fruit Ninja and Muffin Knight.

Every time I start one of them, at the first two minutes the games lag A LOT, but if I start to play, go back to the level selection menu and wait 2 minutes - suddenly the games are working great without lags.

Have anyone experience such an issue?

I've already reinstall the game and updated to the latest phone build (4.0.2.A.0.58) + closed unnecsery apps on the phone.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] neroyoung:
If you are using old version of fruit ninja then it will lag as they are on phone memory...

Get latest one then it won't lag

I tried it on my XMP

Hi everyone,

I’m using CM7 for a month now and very appreciate it ! I’m a bit of a noob in the Android & Linux world and so I wanted to have more information about a few things that I’m reading regularly. I’m looking for papers, blog posts, wiki sources or your personal tips and tricks about : :confused:

- In what consist porting a ROM to a device ? I mean for instance in what consists the porting of the ICS sources to a mod as Cyanogenmod 9 for a specific device ? (I’m using the Motorola Defy)

- What is building a ROM? And what are Nightlies ?

- What are the main difficulties in porting sources to other devices?

- How does rooting of a device works? What is modified in the device?

- How is the bootmenu installed ? What is modified to have access to that menu during the booting ?

I’m asking because I was looking for technical information and found nothing !

So, if you could help with all kinds of information and sources, do not hesitate !

Thank you everyone !:)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
For boot menu, the logwrapper binary is changed to a new file. That file is one of the first things run by the kernel, and this binary is used to hook in and light the blue LED, and listen for a button press. It then starts the boot menu for real if you press the down button, and displays it on the screen.

Rooting is exploiting of a vulnerability in the device, in order to gain root (superuser/administrator) access, and thus full control of the running system. You then leave a binary in place to allow further access as root without issues (su binary), and Superuser.apk to control root access on a per-app basis.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sorgue311:
Thank you for answering.

Do you know what kind of vulnerability is exploited ?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Yes. psneuter is the standard root exploit the one click tools use

I've had my Desire HD for almost a year now and it's a great phone and has served me well but once again the new year has rolled around and my annual phone savings have started to swell so I'm looking to get a new phone.

The only phone at the minute that seems like a formidable upgrade from my desire HD and has caught my eye is the Galaxy Note, my main question however is:

Should I part with my money now or wait to see what 2012 has to offer?

Any replies/suggestions/opinions are appreciated, thankyou.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FinancialWar:
I heard that there's going to be a very fast phone coming in 2015.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mainspring:
I'd wait. quad core phones should be rolling out within the next few months.

unless you get a super good deal on a dual core phones out now, and don't need to have your new phone asap, really no reason not to wait just a couple months or so.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00king.c0w:
now why the heck would one need a quad core? one more way to uncharge your phone?!

ptt: if you don't need the best cam, i would def. lay down your money now on the GNex, best phone i ever owned... and the pure Google Android experience is awesome in my opinion :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltocliousus:
I'm not a massive fan of the nexus, just not my cup of tea design wise, if I'm to get a new one it'd be the note hands down.

I think I'll stick with my desire HD for now and get one of those lovely £10 a month GiffGaff simcards, upgrading so soon is a bit silly considering I only want the note because of it's superior browsing experience, everything else is just buffer.

Thanks anyway guys.

No matter when you buy, the next generation will be out a month later.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike21pr:
If you want the best futureproofing ATM, Galaxy Nexus is the best choice. But if you are into the HTC experience since you had the DHD so long, HTC should announce their Tegra 3 quad core phones shortly after CES, in case you want to look out for that as well
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bacchus69:
I'm personally going to wait to see the selection of tegra 3 devices that come out or are announced over the next 4 or 5 months before making a purchase decision. My CM7 Touchpad will do for now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirai0nikki:
I think it's better to wait for quad-core phones.

After a couple of days pass there'll be CES! I think a lot of great quad-cores (actually not only quad-core devices) will be shown at the exhibition. So, there'll be much more devices that can 'catch your eye' and more options to choose from :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david.reichert:
They're out to get you

No matter what you do, the manufacturers are all out to get you in the end. You buy one now, 3 months later, there's something new that's out that you can't just get an "upgrade" to your existing phone for.

Samsung is a classic example. They could deploy ICS to the Galaxy S, but instead of just doing it and giving their customers what they want, they make them go out and buy the S2 (which is a fine device... ), but it only helps the carriers lock people into another 3 year contract, when they only had a year in to begin with.

It's a serious cramp in consumer leverage. :mad:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Janitor Mop:
Wait till Cortex A15 processors (and Qualcomm's Krait architecture) come out.

The only quad core devices that will be coming out in the next roughly 3 months will all likely be Tegra 3, which IMO has a lackluster GPU and is A9. Tegra 3 definitely is pretty nice, but I think A15 chips with more powerful GPUs will be much better than Tegra 3.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
I think it's safe to say that the Galaxy S3 is going to be something special. I'd wait to see just how good it is rather than buying now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean88:
I agree, the new S3 will be something. Wait mid year and see what gets announced.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGarak:
S3 will no doubt be fantastic specs wise but I just don't like the plastic construction and the lack of a bit of weight in Samsung phones and I know I'm not alone in that, so will probably be buying the HTC Edge, although if it's disappointing or not right for some reason I'll probably just try to find a good 32GB Gnex deal, can't justify spending the €500-600 most are looking for on Ebay for the 16GB model atm.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_noobie:
Yes. That's true and that is exactly what causes the low resale value of an android phone, IMHO.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerys71:
hey I love the pace and the low resale value of android phones

otherwise I would never have my S2 on boost

I could never afford the phone otherwise

so you manufacturers keep cranking them out please because I don't do contracts

I cannot wait until the next batch of phones comes out because then I can grab a couple of extra S2's on craigslist

I am flat out impressed with a galaxy s 2 the only thing is really lacks is not enough resolution for the screen

for most things including games and videos you cannot notice the resolution lacking but the interface is too crowded things are too large I found lcd resolution allows me to change the dpi too an affective 160 dpi which simulates a 1200x720 screen resolution much much better

if a new galaxy s 3 has a 720 resolution screen keeps the SAMOLED screen feature I will buy it

otherwise I am perfectly happy with a S2's amazing feature set
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleach168:
If you're in America, don't wait for the S3. We most likely won't get them until late 2012 unless you fork over $800 for the international version.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihellion:
Just my humble opinion, but quad cores are a bit early to adopt, there isn't going to me much application support utilizing all four cores till they flood the market, and there was already a bunch of new dual cores announced at CES - granted it's only the first day.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duch89:
I think you better wait and buy something more worthwhile
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B055:
you better wait for SGS 3..i think it will be good
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZZDoug:
A slight exageration

Ok maybe more than just a month, but the next new thing is always just around the corner. It's been this way a long time with computers in general and phones are really just in their beginning years as computing machines. Look at it this way, the sooner you buy something now the sooner you will be buying the next thing soon enough.

Hello.

I changed ROM on my phone and when restoring the messages (SMS) with Titanium Backup it didn't work. Well this was not the end of the world but I had some numbers in one SMS that I would really want.

Is it possible to open one of the Titanium Backup files on a computer and read the SMS content there?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigworm50:
any luck?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
I didn't think titanium backup, could backup sms, never seen a settingor batch command....... Are you 100% sure it backed up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigworm50:
It does, it is in the list as [sms/mms/apn phone] or something like that. It restores your text messages. However it caused com.phone.android to crash repeatedly nd then reboot the phone.

I assume there is a conflict restoring a 2.3.6 backup onto ics. Which is why I was hoping to extract a few important items from the files.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Ok I think this still only the app not the text, but yes it would cause a conflict trying to restore a on to a different file system,

could you use a sms backup from play store.

Sorry not really helped
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0frills:
Yes, you can. Look for a file named like this in your TB folder:

com.android.providers.telephony-20131007-041401.tar.gz

Inside, you will see:

data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

This is a sqlite3 database containing all the SMS and MMS's.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peteed1985:
Ok I just bought a TF101 2nd hand today and since I have not much experience with android i'm stumped.

Is there a way to tell if an android device like this is rooted? If it was rooted in the past and the old owner hit the restore to defaults option to remove all his data would that remove a root?

Reason I ask is theres an app installed on the device called superuser that says the device must be rooted to use it.

Also how can I update the device to ICS? The ASUS website says "Android 3.2 Honeycomb O.S.(4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgradable)" but theres nothing on the site to say how to get the 4.0 ICS on the device and nothing says that its not out yet so i'm led to believe I should be able to update to ICS now somehow.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
The simplest way to tell if your tablet is rooted is to download Terminal Emulator from the market and when it opens type "su". If it ask you to approve the app with a little "SU" window then it is rooted. If it's not you need to remove Superuser.apk via the Android SDK/ADB. before you can re-root.

And 4.0 Is not out for our device yet. You cannot upgrade to it yet. Once 4.0 is released to the Prime and a /system dump has been done i'm sure we'll see custom built OSs for it but nothing as of right now. Honestly i wish they would stick with a Tablet UI and a Phone UI. Once 4.0 becomes main stream, and on both Tabs and Phones it'll be a sad day.

One of the main reasons i didn't go with iOS was the UI is the same on Tablets and phones. I went with an Android phones/tabs because the phone and Tablet UI is so different.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peteed1985:
thx for all that :)

Hate when companies do stupid stuff like that and list stuff on their sites that isn't true like that, confuses the hell out of ya.

Kinda wasn't asking so I could reroot or anything since I have no reason to root.

White ones can be stuck pixels.

Just search for "pixel" in the market, some apps there will try and flash the pixels to be unstuck.

Leave your phone flashing for a few nights, if it still doesnt go away, then it is not fixable, and you will need to send it away for replacement.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philminator:
Well I've googled quite a few key words to see if I could get the answers to my questions and I haven't found too much yet. I have a Bell Galaxy SII that's rooted 2.3.3 Android version. I ended up flashing my kernel long ago as well which gives me the yellow triangle now I don't care about that but i want to make my phone like it was when it came out of the box. I have the original firmware and kernel. What im confused about is there is Odin to flash this and that and then there's dumping the files on your phone and using Clockwordmod. what's the difference? which should I use and what do I flash first? the original Kernel then firmware? or other way around? or does it matter? youtube is nice and all but it shows customs unroots for branded S2's not mine which is Bell im having issues with my tethering disconnecting me from my computer so I think it's best if I revert back to factory since all I do is make phone calls and tether. Thanks guys

In this version, more system apps are removed, some are themed and some apps are updated. So it's definately recommended to wipe System. (I think it's even in the updater-script.)

so if i go to cm7 rom or ics rom, the amazon firmware update thingy will dissappear? is it a seperate thing? so when i install the ics rom, it just becomes a android device and no more amazon stuffs? because im afraid that amazon will update their firmware and prevent root access permenately. so i really want to move on to different rom quick before they update again.

and also

is the ics rom working nicely?

only video and sound not working?

ive heard that they didnt fix the notification thingy or the landscape mode bug, wifi turned on makes the clock 1008mhz.

and i really want bluetooth support and volume button at the bottom so that you can adjust easier .
