[Sony Tablet S] badasschris:
Hi I have seen in reviews that the sd card is just for transfering data is this true? e.g. if I put some videos or other files I will have to transfer them to internal storage before opening them?
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
No sir.

U can play videos directly from ur sd card using third party apps.

sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
[Sony Tablet S] badasschris:
Thanks so is that the same for any app? e.g. read ebooks / comics or play mp3s all off the sd card?

The reviews got me worried there but if they just mean you cant install to sd then there is no problem as who is going to need more than 4gb for that.
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
You can store data on the external sd card and some apps will allow you to choose where it looks for data (vidoes, mp3s, etc.) but you can't install/access apps from the external sdcard. Hopefully ICS will address that issue, but Sony will probably hijack it once again.

Hi guys, where can i get the old firmware? I flashed the new firmware to install the new ICS 4.0.3 Sense rom. I didn't like it, so i restored my old ROM. And now i keep getting random reboots which i never get before.

Try downloading the orgional rom for your phone and flashing it using the ruu exe file. This will restore the phone back to the orgional bootloader and radio and rom!

Can i just flash the PG58IMG.zip from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
[HTC Sensation] newr:
When we flash the RUU...does it remove Root? I installed a custom ICS ROM to try but didn't like it, so I did a NAND restore, but I think the firmware was still updated to the one that was needed to do the ICS, and I find the battery is draining quickly. So I would like to revert back to where it was.

I had though a NAND restore will restore everything including the HBOOT version and the radio...but guess not? So should I just do a RUU thing then?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Oomike:
I think the pd58img ur referring to is for CWM not the firmware or radio which is what ur looking for. If you want complete retail stock then find the gingerbread 2.3.4 RUU. If ur looking for 2.3.4/5 customer roms the just flash the rom u want. GB works fine with its firmware. Backwards compatible.
[HTC Sensation] DDeveryday:
The situation have been getting worse and worse everyday. Now, I couldn't even use my phone for 2 minutes without it rebooting itself. I have tried different ROMs with the same result. And i have already flashed the latest T-mobile firmware which i got from this thread.

And I'm sure its the firmware that's causing the problem. Because the first time booting into android after flashing the ICS firmware, the phone froze during the boot screen.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dajoip:
I recently wanted to try a different ROM, so I backed up all my apps with Titanium Backup and then did a Nandroid with Amon Ra. After playing with the new ROM for a few hours, I decided I didn't like it and wanted to return to my previous setup. I tried restoring from the Nandroid 3 times, but I kept getting sent into a bootloop. So I cut my loss and just flashed the same ROM again and figured I'd just restore my apps and set everything up again (I've done this so many times, it doesn't even take me that long anymore). However, after setting everything back up again and restoring my apps, I realized that several of my apps hadn't backed up for some reason and I was restoring from versions several months old (some of these were games that I'd made considerable progress in).

Is there any way of extracting apps from a Nandroid and replacing my current version with them (assuming the Nandroid isn't corrupt and the app files are valid - not sure this is a reasonable assumption, since the phone wouldn't restore to this backup, but I figure it's worth a try...).

Thanks in advance!

Dave
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dajoip:
Anybody?

I just tried following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=890508, but it didn't have very good instructions once the files were extracted. I didn't find any of my apps in the /app folder, instead the only files I found were in the data.img file and then in the data folder. I tried copying the folder I found onto my phone, but the app crashed as long as I used this replaced folder.

Any suggestions?

[Motorola Droid 3] elodie01:
My OEM Hong Kong Milestone 3 (ME863) just got a 28 MB OTA update today. System is now 2.3.6. No mention of what this update brings anywhere....... Kind of weird.

Anyway, looks slightly more smooth. Camera app slightly quicker... No idea of the improvements except that. Need more time to tell about the battery life and the bugs I had before (GPS bug).

If anyone has more info, please share. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
So XT862 officially has oldest android :(
[Motorola Droid 3] DeadChex:
Not sure exactly how to do this, but could you check to see if the OTA has an unlocked bootloader? If it does that would mean some progress, if not, back to square 1!
[Motorola Droid 3] songwillie:
GPS bugs? Elodie1, care to clarify what do you mean by the GPS bug?

I have the ME863 that the GPS fail to work at all. I cannot see a single satelite with the GPS Status app, even with AGPS turn on. What GPS bug are you experiencing?
[Motorola Droid 3] elodie01:
Sometimes (not all the time), GPS would not work at all. It's turned on, but the logo does not appear when I launch Maps. And of course, my phone doesn't can't locate me correctly. Same thing with any app.

A simple

reboot

actually fix this... But it is quite annoying since it makes you waste several minutes.
[Motorola Droid 3] elodie01:
But, if you're in HK and you think your problem is more a hardware problem, you should bring your phone to the Moto tech centre, they can usually fix it within one day if you bring it in the morning... and they lend you a phone of course.
[Motorola Droid 3] songwillie:
I see, i guess my problem is different from yours then. Unfortunately I'm not in Hong Kong, I'm sending it back to the seller and hopefully he'll be able fix it or send it back to Hong Kong to fix it.

Don't know how fast it can be fixed though :(
[Motorola Droid 3] elodie01:
I see. Anyway, I can now confirm this update does not fix this GPS bug (despite the fact it has been reported by several users on the Motorola forums since the very beginning).

I am happy that the system seems to be slightly more smooth. But I am astonished by how little Moto seems to care. E.g. what would it cost to add the same camera shortcut than on the Razr? Hello Moto! This is basically the very same lockscreen and system! So let's not talk about Smart Actions (but since they are one of the very few things that will differentiate D4 from D3, so let's not care about the D3 early adopters...)
[Motorola Droid 3] llau2000:
Bought that new MS-3 yesterday and got that OTA update on my way back. Everything seems good even with the GPS navigation program. I can't find any problem so far. I traded in my HTC Sensation which is a total disappointment !
[Motorola Droid 3] songwillie:
Say... ME863 owners, one thing that I found to be inconvenient, is that the Milestone3 can't do video call directly through 3G. It needs to be done through an app.

Have you all tried it?

I'm sure it's not an android limitation, because Samsung Galaxy S can video call without an App. Maybe Motorola don't think it's worth to support this function?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronis_BR:
Hi fellows,

I have been looking and I think Motorola and Vivo have released an update for motorola RAZR. You can see at this site: http://direct.motorola.com/PRL/Soft...R&strCable=Micro USB Data Cable&strURL=No URL

Unfortunately, when I download the software and install it, it recognizes my device and starts to search for updates. After more than 40 minutes, it says that an update is available but, when I continue, it shows an error message and tells to reconnect / reboot my Motorola. I have done these procedures many times, but I can't update it.

[General Questions and Answers] aarmath:
Dude very easy -

Go to "Settings" then go to "Applications" then go to "Development".

Check the options (Which means a Green Tick should be present in the option box) for "USB Debugging" & "Allow Mock Locations".

Thats it!

Also yeah, ensure that you do batch process on your Titanium app. I guess its present in the Pro version.
[General Questions and Answers] Kagadar:
Install a terminal emulator application from the android market.

Start it.

Type in (press return between each line):

su

cp /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/*.memo*.apk /system/app

If you get an error about system being read only, you need to type in:

mount -o remount,rw /system

then try

cp /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/*.memo*.apk /system/app

again.

Its important that you don't put extra spaces in, you get the spelling right, and that you put spaces where there are spaces.

You can also do this through ADB if you prefer to copy paste the commands. If you don't know how to use ADB, look it up in the forums for your particular device.

[General Questions and Answers] ancym:
Also trying to restore memo apk (but I don't have the file, so was unable to try this).

Might work for you...

From the Titanium Backup wiki Howto section part 4:

(sry, cant post link as I am a noob)

" Restoring "Memo 1.0" data (com.sec.android.app.memo) from SGS to SGS2

First of all, just to be safe: Launch Titanium Backup Pro and wipe data for the Memo app

Launch the Memo app once, which will create an empty database (and default settings) automatically

Switch back to Titanium Backup Pro

Enable "System data migration" in the Titanium Backup preferences (because Samsung's Memo database format has changed)

Restore "data only" for your Memo app Yay! Now your memos are restored to your new (previously empty) Memo database. However, some data columns (which didn't exist in the older Memo database) have the default value, which makes the new Memo app believe that every memo was deleted. Awesome work Samsung! Anyway, here's how to fix it:

su /data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/sqlite3 /data/data/com.sec.android.app.memo/databases/Memo.db UPDATE memo SET delete_flag = 'false', locked = 'false', synch_t = 0;

Close the shell and launch the Memo app."

Also, there is more info if you search the TB wiki for ' restore system apps'

Now, i need to find memo.apk... In the meantime using AK notepad from catch.com

thnx, but i better try something that is already tested :)

yup, something like that. actually it was so easy as long we familiar with rootexplorer things. these for more accurately step:

> navigate to /system/media using rootexplorer (don't forget to mount system as R/W)

> delete "poweron.ogg" file or backup it (usually by renamed it to poweron.ogg.bak)

> done!

> or i'd like to suggest to customize it with your own sound file that already converted n renamed as poweron.ogg n replaced or backup the original sound file. recommended to set permission as same as the original (just copy by looking the original)

This is to keep Root, it has nothing to do with S-On. You can have an unlocked bootloader but you still need root access. They can unlock your bootloader leave you with S-On and patch up the root, this protects against that. Confirmed on multiple devices that you still keep Root access even moving up to ICS, Jcase did this with Transformer Prime.
