[Motorola Droid RAZR] Azure1203:
Friend of mine gave me a Droid Razr from Rogers to try and fix. Phone would constantly reboot, but not at a specific interval. This all happened while it was on stock firmware. No upgrade available from Rogers, so I couldn't try that, plus factory reset/wiping cache didn't work either. Friend said I should do whatever possible, so I flashed the "The Artic" ROM. Everything works perfectly. No reboot, nothing.

It is a Rogers phone, and I need to unlock it, and when I put in the microSIM from a different provider, nothing comes up asking for SIM unlock. When I go into phone status, everything says unknown, including the IMEI.

The baseband box says unknown as well.

Anything I can do?

When I try to go *#06# the box comes up for IMEI, but it doesn't have anything on it. Corrupt IMEI?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gdmuscle:
How long ago did he get the Razr I hope he didn't get the two I returned as defective? LOL.... The two I got the first one having this random shutdown issue for some strange reason it would just turn off by itself. I can't seem to track the problem down since it was factory reset and nothing install but still did this. The second one just completely turned itself off and wouldn't come back on. The third did the same as the first but I managed to send it to Motorola for repair and they reflashed it, seems ok so far. I'm wondering if the Rogers Firmware has something to do with this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Azure1203:
I have no idea how long ago he got it. His warranty was out though, so Rogers wouldn't take it back.

Either way, apparently I don't have an 'EFS' folder. I used Root Explorer to check and there is nothing there.

How would I go about fixing that?

The weird thing is I can use WIFI on it. I thought it stored the WIFI addresses in the EFS folder?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Azure1203:
Or perhaps Motorola phones don't have EFS folders. Anyone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Azure1203:
Did a factory reset, no EFS folder.

Originally when I got the phone, before I flashed any kind of ROM I put in a foreign SIM card and the 'network unlock' box never came up.

I'm beginning to wonder if the EFS folder was gone to begin with.

Because I just checked again, and its not there. Not even after a factory reset.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Azure1203:
Yeah, not sure what else I can do. Went back to stock 2.3.5 and installed after market radio, and both times it says unknown IMEI. I think this phone is pretty much hooped.
[LG Optimus Black] meddistar:
Is there a overclock already or is anyone working on it?

Is this cpu overclockable ? And how much ?
[LG Optimus Black] jimakos29:
up to 1.2 ghz but not sure if there is a kernel for gb. on froyo though you can go up to that number safely
[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:
Maybe something changed since then..

Is there a way to overclock the OB on GB?
[LG Optimus Black] dflt:
No, new nova kernel promised oc but it is delayed.
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
Zeus v6 has one

[LG Optimus Black] niko34:
Yes with zeus you can but use with caution the overclock is bad for android you reduce the life time of phone

Sent from LG-P970
[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:
i'm running zeus v6 right now..

going to try the overclock, just for fun..

already tried 1100 mhz, nice increase on benchmark but the feeling is the same..

just going to try some speeds but will probably stay on safe speed.
[LG Optimus Black] Duarte777:
I did overclock with zeus V6 up to 1.2 GHz, but the maximum is 1.3 ghz, but not appropriate to use this speed, I think ...

But the difference is not much.
[LG Optimus Black] niko34:
With oc and antutu i've 2997 score

[LG Optimus Black] denclaud:
Guys I'm quite new to oc, previously I just tried it in nova so I just want to ask if it can do some to damage to the phone on long term basis? Or basically it is safe as long as you stay in the safe range ( 1.1-1.2)?
[LG Optimus Black] hackerse7en:
processor

U used nova for some time and i even overclocked mine to 1.2 after i used cm7 for a long time and about 3 monts ago my phone sudendly dont pass of LG logo i tried everything including kdz method and nothing work, i send it to warranty when he came the girl of the store say he just got a new processor, the old one didn t work, since that day i think a lot before overclock him again:(
[LG Optimus Black] niko34:
You must verify the temp (°c) before o/c when the phone is too hot the o/c damage it. And i think 1,2Ghz isn't very stable.

Sorry for my english ,i'm french

Send with Zeus v6 the lightning power in you're P970
[LG Optimus Black] champzzz:
If you're on zeus go to Terminal Emulator then type su to gain superuser access, now type zeus and there it is the Zeus Script, there you can overclock and do other tweaks to your phone.

Hope it helps!
[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:
thank you but the answer was already given..
[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
i think personally the maximum to oc zeus v6 would be up till 1250, i tried pushing it to 1300 and got bootloop
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Did anyone already set it to lets say 1.2 ghz, then reboot a couple of times, since dvfs should set higher voltages then and then set an even higher frequency? Maybe this would allow you, to go even higher :)
[LG Optimus Black] mdfaisal:
with v20o stock rom with deleted bloatwares, my antutu score is 2550 -2600...

dont ask for quadrant... haha
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
yeah but with 1.2ghz i guess i saw someone having 3300+ :P

since i got a bootloop, i stopped oc-ing :P

(will try in holidays) ;)
[LG Optimus Black] jes0411:
I have it overclocked to 1180 with zeus v6, higher values make my phone to reboot and crash apps. My best score in antutu is 3038.

[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
I want to buy a phone that can do widescreen photography with a minimal budget and the xperia neo seems to fit best. Xperia ray has too small a screen for my liking so thats not an option.

Anyways researching the xperia neo I have encountered one big problem, it seems it's display is quite reflective and not as good as the xperia arc outdoors?? Can anyone please confirm if this is the case?

Bad performance outdoors is a complete deal breaker for me. However I have used xperia arc and I found it's display to have excellent outdoor performance. I assumed the xperia neo would be the same but seems like it isnt from the reviews. :confused:

One reviewer noted that it's screen is recessed unlike the arc which brings more reflectivity.
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Don't know about the screens but I'd say get the Arc if the budget allows it.

Bigger screen, looks better and has more devs like (not 100% sure about devs).
[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
It cracks. :(

I cant take chances because we dont have any SE service centers here, we get no warranty so if my arc cracks then I'll just have to live with it.

Plus there are a couple of other issues I have with the arc. I want a phone with a camera button and the one on the arc I find as good as not having one at all. Secondly the placement of the sensor at the back is going to cause some trouble as well. The neo has perfect placement and what seems like a fairly comfortable camera button.

Plus it's also noticeably cheaper so I wont be paying the same money for a smaller screen. :)
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Then get the Neo if you find it so much better
[Xperia Arc General] taaviu:
If you want camera then BUY camera...if you want phone..then buy phone. Trust me...you don't get 2in1 good phone and camera together ;)
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
I have both, and both have their advantages and problems.

Arc:

+ Display is much better both in colors (warmer, everything looks quite cold on the Neo)

+ Display has more brightness and better in hard sunlight

- Camera position is annoying from time to time

- Shutter key is hard to press

Neo:

+ Better shutter key

+ Better camera placement

- Display has colder tones

- Display not as bright or legible in sunlight

The difference is small, but I think I'd prefer the Neo as a cameraphone simply because of the better camera placement and shutter button.
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
Use the disable auto brightness app from the market, or flash MIUI, and the Neo's display will become very bright too.

I agree with your last point. I've had phones with a corner placed camera before, and the lens is much easier to cover. (Only when holding it with two hands in landscape though).
[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
I never said it's so much better. :)

The deal breaker for me more than anything are the cracks, the price difference isnt huge.
[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
Shouldnt the auto brightness make it go maximum bright under sunlight? Or does the auto brightness puts a cap on maximum brightness as well?

Whats the latest version for the neo? With the neo V the automatic brightness is disabled at 100% brightness, is that feature not available on the neo?
[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
I realise phone camera shortcomings and I do have a fairly good sony cybershot camera but I really cant be bothered to carry it around everywhere and thus many a times I am in a situation where I have no camera and a crappy phone.
[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
I wont be rooting my phone, I am not that sort of a power user. I know for sure the neo V disables auto brightness at 100% and has a really bright screen. It would totally suck if sony hasnt brought this feature to the neo, I mean it's a software thing afterall so it cant be a problem for them can it. :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Neo and Neo V are identical aside the camera sensor. If you put the brightness on the Neo on 100% it'll just use the maximum brightness at all times.
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
Auto brightness is indeed disabled when brightness is at 100%, but if you install the disable auto brighness app, the brightness seems like 2 times as high when you set it at 100%. So yes, the brightness is limited without the auto brightness app.
[Xperia Arc General] Ritmasz:
I feel no problems with shutter key on my Arc S.
[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
Now isnt that just stupid sony ericsson. :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
The display test of xperia neo on gsmarena reveals a 100% brightness of 513nits which is quite remarkable. How come other websites were saying that the display is dim? What gives this is so confusing.

The neo has a contrast of above 1500 at gsmarena review, thats pretty unbelievable surely they have got something wrong?

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_neo-review-595p2.php

Btw can you tell me how reflective the display is regardless of brightness?
[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
I think I might have figured this out. In the xperia arc review at gsmarena they show a max brightness of just 134 for xperia neo. They hadnt yet reviewed the neo. One month later they give a full review to neo and it's max brightness is off the roof.

Was there some software problem that was later fixed? Maybe most of the reviews talking about poor sunlight performance had the version which was seriously crippled with brightness?
[Xperia Arc General] J_B204:
I use the widgetsoid widget to control the brightness (AUTO) on my ARC and it works really well.

As for the cracks - had my phone for over 4 months and not a single crack at all.

Have found the camera very good in good light and ok in poorer light. Yes the button is tricky so I use the 'touch' screen option.

Only downside (from any camera phone) is that there isn't any optical zoom but there is nothing you can do about it.

Hope this helps!
[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
I am totally buying the neo if it's display is actually what it seems like at gsmarena.

0.31 black with 513 brightness, no other non sony phone can do this with an LCD.

I need more xperia neo owners to comment please and especially those who have used both arc and neo.
[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
Nevermind I bumped into this thread and it seems like gsmarena got some magical units and most other people dont experience such brightness levels.

[G1 General] tagm:
Hi all,

Personally I still love my G1. It is the 1st Android phone so historically something that is interesting on its own.

I assume most of the G1 owners on this forum are having the same geekish interests as me and I was wondering what you are doing with the device that you concider 'cool' and can impress fellow geeks :)

Some things I think are impressive:

1. Having a rooted device with a custom very stable and fast Gingerbread firmware (ezgingerbread)

2. The droid2600 and Frodo C64 emulators that run great on the G1 with its keyboard.

3. Haven't done this myself yet, but seeing videos of debian run on the G1 was pretty impressive.

4. Eventhough it is probably not ready for daily use but having ICS on the G1 is amazing.
[G1 General] Sirfearoth:
My G1 is running debian for a while now. But it mostly sits in drawer now, I just bring myself to sell it. No matter how much my wife nags at me.
[G1 General] tagm:
How well does it run? I guess you can't use it as a phone if you started debian?
[G1 General] frankdrey:
I am using Frayo

And I use it mainly for forums and IRC and stuff
[G1 General] tagm:
Running a customized rom you created yourself does belong in the 'wish I could say that' category.

Compiling programs from source does seem to be possible for the lesser educated with the scriptset smitna has created. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1444792

Not as cool as creating your own rom, but you have to start somewhere :)
[G1 General] chongox:
I been using it mainly to try roms and stuff,

but every time a friend lost or have no phone, until they get a proper.

I give it to them to use it

and to try to convert them to android

so I use it for educational porposes

Im using frayo too (thanks )
[G1 General] frankdrey:
What do you mean?

I am really honestly using Frayo....

Froyobylaszlo is /the/ best G1 ROM and I use my mod for the (few) features it adds

Did I say I used that script?

Well...no, I didn't

And I can compile a ROM on my own from source thank you very much.

I just don't really see the need anymore since froyobylaszlo is as good as it gets

And instead of working my way up from aosp, learning along the way since I don't know a lot, I decided to just mod in features I like

And no I didn't use some scripts or rom kitchen

I tried using an apk compiler and a theme kitchen thing to fix certain problems, but then I decided against it...

Also, as of now I'm stopping working on my ROM and MOD and am gonna go for some pure PC development to work on my skills

I'm not too sure what you were trying to say but that's my response:D

If I misunderstood you, sorry:)

Edit: I think I did....now I'm debating wheter I should delete the above....

Sorry:P

Just ignore it all...I though you were saying that I shouldn't advertise here (I'm not btw:P I'm actually using it to post even)

And I thought you said I used that script and didn't do anything

Well, if you want to jumpstart into rom development with modding,, just open up the rom with winrar/7zip and start looking around

And at the google source website you can find how to compile a rom

The second option may require some programming skills
[G1 General] tagm:
Nice ideas. Might do some research, thx!

Was indeed giving you a compliment for your rom modding, maybe my indirect approach was not clear enough (I am not a native English speaker... that probably doesn't help as well) :)
[G1 General] frankdrey:
Oh ok thanks:D

Sorry bout that...http://forums.androidcentral.com/hacking/6037-general-rom-faq.html

This is very useful

Go to "building a rom"

Idk if the link works, its been strange for me, so just scroll down to it

Whenever you edit a rom, you have to sign it...

That link has the files and directions

Also,
[G1 General] kyle_engineer:
I've just had fun experimenting with my G1. I didn't root it myself, but I have learned a lot since I got it. I ran through about 10 or 15 different roms until I found one that I like personally (Ginger yoshi) and customized it the way I wanted. I think the coolest thing that I did on it running a SNES emulator (although I only did it once because of ridiculous lag). I started toying around with DOS box but that didn't go anywhere. I wasn't able to do much with it because it is my primary phone and it got extremely annoying to have to fix it every time I messed something up.

Anyway, it was tons of fun... then it broke :'( And now I'm getting my friend to give me his for free! :D and the fun will continue.

[LG Revolution] abarthle:
Hey Guys, I've posted in other conversations about bad battery life with blitzkrieg and it seems pretty split down the middle between those who experience good battery life and those who don't. I did follow the advice and wait several days after I re-flashed blitz and my battery has yet to level out. I keep background data off at night when I go to bed, I went to bed with 93% battery left and woke up 7 hours later with a 23% battery life - while the phone was at rest.

I also have a problem about once every two days my phone will freeze up and restart. When it happens it just gets froze on screen and the whole phone vibrates for 20-30 seconds and then restarts.

Has anyone experiences these problems and found a solution to them? Should I change my settings at all?

I really don't want to get an extended battery but with the life my phone is currently getting I don't see much more of an option.

Thanks guys,
[LG Revolution] Cal8192:
The phone freeze/reboot is a known issue with no known resolution. Before I dropped my last phone it had that problem consistently from stock v4 through every variant of the ota updates, revolt roms, gingervolt roms, kennels, scripts, no scripts, blah blah etc.

Now, however, I picked up a second Revo and have run it through gb and flashed gv 1.3, blitz 2.1 and various scripts and tweaks virtually mirroring my old device. I did that Monday morning and haven't had a single instance yet! These guys here do awesome work..

As for the battery draining, I haven't put my extended battery back on this phone yet because I was curious how the stock would perform with these mods. For the first couple days I was discharging at an even 10% an hour. Yesterday and today its dropped to 7.5%. Why? No damn idea. But I can live with that.

So, nothing terribly helpful here but just a disclaimer that your mileage may vary and a nod to the devs here doing kickass work. Good enough that I actively went looking for another Revo instead of fussing with a second line upgrade. That speaks volumes.
[LG Revolution] abarthle:
Oh yeah I'm not dissing the devs at all they're great!

The revo is a strange device all the reboots due to GPS and airplane mode I'm sure is a hardware fault because every revo I've had has done it and I'm on my third. I love blitz and can't live without my overclock lol I'm just wondering if there's special settings or CPU governors I'm not using that would help.
[LG Revolution] Cal8192:
I've used CPU Master and am on ROM toolbox now. Can't say I've seen a significant difference between the two as far as battery goes. I've used both ondemand and smoothass, same deal.

I did have some luck limiting reboots on my first by bumping up the min to 768 but haven't needed to bother on this phone so its 2 something. No extra settings or anything. : )
