[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randyrubb:
Hello,

I searched for my 9020A the forum for several updats on 4.0.3 because the calendar crashed always and did not well sync.

Any Update i found here or via RomManager did not work in terms of the Signal. There was no Network found. instead of Bars just a blank gray triangle.

I originally had the "cm_crespo-ota-eng.kalimochoaz.a18.p1" on it and this worked fine ecxept the calender.

With the new rollout of the new 4.0.x I thought i found the Original one and updates this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1398186, I know now, it was wrong.

Now my info looks like

Name HERRING

HW Version Rev16

Bootloader Version I9020xxKL1

Baseband Vers. I9020xxKI1

Carrier Info ATT

Unlocked

System info:

4.0.3,

Kernel:

3.0.8-gb55e9ac

android-build@apa28#1

Build Nummer IML74K

Status about Signal:

Network unknown

Signalstrenght -111dBM 1ASU

Network GPRS:1

The Rom runs but also NO Signal (as described before with other ROM's)

Back in the Bootloader Mode:

Bootloader yes, Recovery always the Android with the open Belly and big acclamation mark. After pressing long enough (very uncontrolled the left +/. button) i get a menu.

From there i try to load another zip, but it stops after first searching SD card, then open the zip and then abort the process

Is there anything what i can do, I'm sure it is but I just need some help

Thanks a lot in advance
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Check out this thread and flash a radio for your i9020a. This will hopefully get reception back for you ;)

As for the bootloader: Stock ROMs replace the bootloader each boot. To change this you need root and rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to /etc/install-recovery.sh.bak

Once you flash a custom bootloader again, it won't be replaced.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randyrubb:
Problem solved THANKS

thanks, everything worked after i found the right files Recovery and SU. About the Radio, I tried a few and it works. But I still play a little wich radio version is best.

Update on the calendar issue witch brought me into this at all. calendar crashed again. I exported all calendar items on google, deleted all entries renamed the calnder (was the main calendar you can't delete) and imported the appointments back in.

:) everything smooth and great now :-)

Thanks again for the HELP
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Glad to help and good work getting your calendar issue fixed, something i'll keep in mind if it ever happens to me :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] laz0r:
So the scrolling on the notification bar feels about the same no matter which ROM I choose. It is kind of bugging me that when I scroll quickly it is noticeably laggy. This leads me to believe that it isn't some performance setting but some kind of cap. Also, it isn't simple lag because you can watch the screen refresh at seemingly equal intervals when you drag the notification bar. I OCD on the smoothness of scrolling on everything but especially about the notification bar drop down.

Any Ideas?

Edit: So I think there is a soft cap of 60fps and this could possibly be the cause. Is it possible there is a cap specifically for the notification bar? I unpacked the SystemUI.apk just looking around because I am interested in learning more about android but realized that until I learn more about androids functions and syntax there is almost no point. I did look through the StatusBarService file and found where I believe it is tracking the finger and moving the status bar and I did not notice any specific cap in this location. I assume it would be further along into the system.

After all that trouble (not so much trouble to me but w/e) I think it is probably just a system FPS cap that I hope isn't in the kernel. It is not in the build.prop like on some phones or if that changed for some reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Envious_Data:
hope this helps

you can Remove the FPS cap entirely

Debug.gr.swapinterval=0

off=0

Lower fps but no cap = Dyn

on = 1

if its still lagging then you could try finding Force GPU rendering (use 2d Hw accel in apps) (it should be in developer options)

if that doesn't work try adding "persist.sys.use_16bpp_alpha=1" to your build.props and if those don't work , try them all together if you didn't already

[Kindle Fire General] asb2164:
Do a forum search in the Kindle Fire section with the words "Unsigned Drivers" and you will get many results.
[Kindle Fire General] MrBishop:
Go to device manager uninstall adb drivers, then right click the install driver bat and run as a admin..
[Kindle Fire General] xerxes76:
In my case, these unsigned drivers are not able to be installed under Windows XP. I tried many times, I rebooted Windows, but always it failed due to unsigned drivers.

According to TechRadar UK:

Sony Xperia S release date confirmed

Mobile phones News

By John McCann

UK release date and price confirmed

The Sony Xperia S will be released on 5 March and will be priced at £429.99 (inc VAT) SIM-free.

After several outings over the past couple of months the Xperia S was finally released at CES 2012, under the "Sony" banner, however the handset on display clearly had Sony Ericsson splashed across the front.

As already announced, O2 and Three will be carrying the handset and Phones4U will offer the exclusive white version. T-Mobile and Orange have now jumped on the Xperia S band wagon, but it doesn't look like Vodafone is planning to range it.

Worth the hype?

The Xperia S certainly has some impressive stats, boasting a 4.3-inch LCD HD touchscreen, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 12MP camera and 720p video recording.

However, with several quad-core phones mooted for release this year, will enough people be drawn in to Sony's offering or have they left it to late to join the dual-core party?

We think the Xperia S is a decent phone with strong features, but Sony may have just missed the boat this time. Are you tempted?
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
I'm not really tempted atm, but that might change :D

There are already the same phones out, nothing new, just another 2.3 dualcore phone.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Sony Ericsson never did anything new in terms of hardware. What they excelled in is software quality and hardware design. And it sure looks like Sony did something great with the software this time, and the Xperia S (like all other Xperia phones) really does look like.no.other ^^
[Xperia Arc General] soldiers33:
well im definitly tempted and Im surprised its so cheap. Will probably get this a couple months after release. Sony Arc was around £600 on release this is twice as good and almost half price.
[Xperia Arc General] tyrand3:
may be because no more ericsson so they can reduce the cost.:D
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Well, I think if you live outside of the EU you do not have to pay VAT. So that brings the price down to GBP 389 (approximately $600) which is what I paid for the Arc on SonyStyle USA.
[Xperia Arc General] sl8125:
I am in. This should be my next phone. Looking forward for the release
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:
Xperia S might arrive on 30 January in the UK.

(http://tinyurl.com/7g67d2y)
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
The article also states:

I would highly doubt that it would be released before March. Japan will receive it next month.
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:
Yeah .. :)
[Xperia Arc General] superlimau:
What stand out from the rest will be the pixel density and access to PlayStation store for music and videos. Dual core or quad core, if the OS/apps doesn't utilize, its redunance.

Sent from my LT15i
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
I agree.....
[Xperia Arc General] Diffleks:
nice update but Samsung release quad core soon :)
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Maybe but, Ice Cream Sandwich does not support quad core. So what is the use? Just to drain battery?! :p
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:
Actually it won't. Newer chips require less power than older chips regardless of cores
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Oh, that's really good to know. I did not know that so, thanks! :)

However, my point still stands, if ICS 4.0 can not take advantage of the extra chips then, what is the use? Also, people might say "Well, it's for future use". But, do we know for a fact that the next Android version will support quad cores? IMHO, the lifespan of a smartphone is 24 months. After that, it becomes obsolete.
[Xperia Arc General] Diffleks:
now and day, hehehe maybe developers of smartphones thinks what is impossible to possible :D

agree, and i think ICS for the older smartphone will be permanent

Sony Xperia S jogs past the FCC carrying AT&T 3G radios

Sony Xperia S jogs past the FCC carrying AT&T 3G radios.

This is great news! At least for me! :D Hope Sony Style USA sells it soon after its release.
[Xperia Arc General] ndrs:
i'm really looking forward to this phone.

i especially like the design. it's pretty clean.
[Xperia Arc General] fajarep:
is really good phone..., i'm really want it...., please make unlocked bootloader as default...., so we can make xperia S more powerfull
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Why as default?

Unlocking takes ~5 mins
[Xperia Arc General] Cholek3:
Unlock by default would be a very bad idea. Imagine people doing something with phone without knowing the bootloader is unlocked. Bricked and then warranty claims.
[Xperia Arc General] fajarep:
The reason, to easy make it as stock(based on my experience with optimus 2x, really easy to make it stock, and prevent waranty void because unlock bootloader process...
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Yeah, I do not agree with being unlocked by default. That may cause a lot of problems for a lot of people! :) :p
[Xperia Arc General] Felimenta97:
I think he meant unlocklable in the launch. Let's say it launch on March 5. Sony Ericsson launches the bootloader unlock tool in the day one of Xperia S life.
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Oh OK, I see. Well, if it is not released on the day of release, I am sure it will not be far behind.
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Play delays its launch of the Sony Xperia S

As expected, Play delays its launch of the Sony Xperia S.

According to ubergizmo Sony Ericsson Xperia NX up for pre-order next week
[Xperia Arc General] awf:
After several HTC and the worst dual core phone LG O2X happy to say goodbye to that one...

Yep this is going to be the next one an impressive phone and display for a remarkable low price here in the Netherlands :)

Quad core phones I find it all rather funny, first let the O/S run a dual core phone at full speed first lol just marketing and hype...
[Xperia Arc General] Cholek3:
Well said my friend, it is all true. give him beer, people.
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Well, it is my next phone too. Just waiting for the time of release. We are two weeks away now! :)
[Xperia Arc General] alankstiyo:
ok my question now is, where to buy and import to mexico xD¡¡ or at least the US
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Hopefully Sony Style USA will sell it. If not then I am sure e-bay, Amazon or Newegg will.
[Xperia Arc General] alankstiyo:
great!!!! seriously can't wait for it.

been using a o3d for like 5 months or less, and trust me, sony has a better interface plus fb inside experience make any non sony phone to suck

about the Ion i'm not sure if it's good or bad that AT&T will have it exclusively

I think wit the new firmware .69 we will have sony logo and cool xperia boot animation...

just like in Xperia s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbb8j...eature=related
[Xperia Arc General] DdcCabuslay:
I saw the video of the Xperia s boot just a moment ago but now the link is malformed apparently lol

But considering that SE isn't SE anymore, the boot animation looked nice and simple. Would like to have it on my arc ASAP

I'd love to see the Xperia s when it launches here in Canada. Won't be buying it though because I bought my Xperia arc in December lol. I'll just use themes to give myself the Xperia s look and feel on my arc

EDIT

I found the boot animation on YouTube but since I can't put links because I'm a noob

Search up Xperia S boot speed

Well, you would have to wait for a couple of more weeks as the phone has not been released yet! :)
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Well, I just checked the Sony Mobile U.S. website and there is no word on the Xperia S "coming soon". It only shows the ION as coming soon. I don't think this is good news for those of us waiting to get our hands on it here in the USA!

Also, search for Hamsterwuff on Imageshack to pull some sample images off of the rear camera of the Xperia S. I haven't had any front camera samples uploaded anywhere that's not Facebook XP

In support of the notion of an Xperia S subforum! =D
[Xperia Arc General] Booomber:
I pre ordered this phone for 3649 DKK (416£ or 490€) and will receive it march 6.

I've been realy happy with my Arc so far. It's so stable and i have battery time on 3 days now. But the show must go on. Too bad the xperia S dosn't come with qaud core. But atleast it's a 1,5 dual core.

My concern is: How can i copy my userdata from my rooted arc to the xperia S. So i don't have to start all over in all my games. I mean i spent alot of time completing all thoose levels. :S

Is there a backup program or something to use. On iphone it's pretty simple as far as i know you sync your userdata with your pc. So if your get a new phone or update the OS. You just sync it again. Pretty easy and simple. As far as i know there is no such thing for android yet. You can back up your apps. But all what it does is download the apps again. Userdata is not saved anywhere.

So what to do?
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
Would be great to know too.

What about Titanium Backup or Astro one?
[Xperia Arc General] Cholek3:
Do a copy of everything in Titanium Backup, copy TB folder from SD to PC, when you get a phone copy folder from PC to internal memory of Xperia S, install Titanium Backup and restore apps and games. I was thinking about doing such thing, unless I am wrong, so please correct me.

Although I would not restore everything. Remember it is completely different device and everything may not be working correctly. I will stick to games and "outside" major apps, thats all. All system apps I would re-configure again.
[Xperia Arc General] RaZoR1179:
If SE goes in the same direction as now, the new S will be probably my new terminal.

: )
[Xperia Arc General] alankstiyo:
where can I buy it to import it to mexico xD
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
e-bay, Amazon or Newegg are your best bets I think.

[Xperia Arc General] DjDarkDragon:
Does anybody know if the Xperia S has the same "changed" jackport ass the Xperia Arc and Arc S?

Or have they changed this to the same ass Samsung Galaxy S2 has?

I think it's similar to iDevices ones.

[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Xperia ION to be available GLOBALLY!

According to engadget Xperia S and Xperia Ion will be available globally! Great news! :)
[Xperia Arc General] alankstiyo:
it seems that in mexico it'll be available by the middle of the year, expecting to be around 700 dlls or more :S

good bye optimus 3d XD

note: this phone will be compatible with at&t (US) but will be completely locked (sim and fw)
[Xperia Arc General] Booomber:
Great. Thanks. Few questions tho.

I downloaded titanium backup *root.

I granted root.

I took a backup of my games.

I copied the titanium backup folder from the SD-Card to my pc.

And now i have to wait for the new phone.

1. So when i get it do i then need root on the xperia s to be able to restore the apps from titanium backup?

2. To restore apps. Do i then need to download the apps from market first and then restore? Or will titanium backup restore the full app with all the userdata?
[Xperia Arc General] Cholek3:
1. Titanium Backup to work properly requires root, so you will have to wait. Unless you use i.e. My Backup pro, same procedure I think. I always use both, just in case. :)

2. No, you can just retore your backups, no need to download it again. BUT... you might have to do it in case, when something is not working properly (Forced closes), because of different device.
[Xperia Arc General] DjDarkDragon:
The Xperia Arc, Arc S and I think the rest of the Sony Ericsson line of Xperia phones/android phones, has an inverted Jack connector (if im not mistaking it is like this: Mix on Sony Ericsson is Headphones in other phones and Headphones in Sony Ericsson is Mic in other phones).

This makes ex. the Jays aJays One+ headset come up ass "Not suported" when you connect it to the phone..

On other Producers this is not a problem..(eksept Nokia that has the same as SE)

This means that you have to have an "3,5mm soundadapter converter" connected betveen the phone and the headseth.

Sadly the 3,5mm soundadapter converters on the market is BAD quality ones.

So I really hope Sony has gone for the "normal" connections that is used by most brands.

Would make the Sony Xperia S even more awesome..hehe.

Hope this made you oundersand what I was talking aboute.

PS: Sorry for my kind of clumsy way of explaining..English isnt my normal language so Im no master in writing in English.hehe.
[Xperia Arc General] wing_zero8556:
On xperiablog its confirmed to have the more common type of 3.5mm jack
[Xperia Arc General] Cholek3:
Basically they have changed it in 2012 phones. So my headset from X10 won't work fully on ma Xperia S.:( And I liked it, because I could disconnect head phones from a microphone lead. Does anybody know, what sort of headset is with Xperia S? Is it detacheable one or in one piece? Or depends on market?

And also, still can't find anywhere... Does S support USB OTG?
[Xperia Arc General] Booomber:
Thanks. :) i took backup now with both program. All tho i didnt buy anything. Could try My Backup for 30 days for free. I only took backup of my games and my contacts. Now i just have to wait for the phone and to somebody find a way to root it. Only on more week Weeee :)

Btw.

Do anyone know if it comes with a screenprotector allready placed on the screen? Just like with the Arc.

And do anyone know if they put some smarttags in the box in some areas?
[Xperia Arc General] baptistepaz:
Great, I'll be waiting for this new sony phone! I really don't know why they didn't integrate gorilla glass to the 2012 models...
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
I believe it will have other technology for durable screen.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] adam79:
Is there a voice/sound recorder that allows u to save files onto the phone's storage? The connector for my SD card broke, so I can't use it to read or write. For some reason the warranty doesn't cover this issue, so I'm stuck with a great phone that can no longer do the things that make it great. Please help.. need some good news for a change!

Thanks,
