I can't even update to .62...

PC Companion prompts (roughly translated): "your phone contains unofficial software. Can't be updated"

So you guys all could update but now lost your root?

Weird..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sblob:
It seems like it doesn't work always... I updated without any system changes and lost my root. Any idea when a one click root solution for .62 might be available?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emptyaddress:
Hi,

I have swapped SIM's from O2 and Vodafone, restarted and all those good things.

The update icon remains and on either network I am told I need PC companion.

If I am doing something wrong, do let me know.

Cheers.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcMan09:
yeah,.............
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
Here is what I did. I am on the UK O2 network but I have a SIM unlocked Arc S (bought directly from Sony). I was on a rooted .42 f/w but had made quite a few changes to my /system folder (mods, different themes, etc.) I haven't unlocked my bootloader.

First I downloaded the generic Arc (LT15) .42 ftf and flashed using Flashtool. My phone reported itself as an LT15 and the OTA update failed (it didn't even get as far as displaying the progress gauge after boot). I suspect the generic LT15 .42 ftf was the problem.

So I signed up for a free Wotan account and downloaded the Wotanclient. I then downloaded the "proper" Arc S UK .42 f/w and flashed it. I then rooted using ZergRush and did the .62 OTA update and it worked first time and I still have root. I then restored my apps using Titanium Backup.

HTH.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emptyaddress:
Hi,

I got there in the end.

The magnetometer has hung (faced west regardless of calibration), so I decided to roll back.

I used FlashTool, put on version .42, used the rush rooting tool, then guess what?

The new version of the OS appeared and I was able to upgrade over the air and maintain root.

So, I can only guess the the UK specific version I had (plus some potential fiddling from me) prevented the OTA download.

I'll all good now, but truth be told, no obvious change in performance or battery utilisation.

Cheers
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Excelsior82:
You need to unlock the bootloader, if you can.

If you can't / don't want to unlock the bootloader, stay in .42 is your best option.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
w00t! I just did the exact same thing as you thanks to your post, and I'm now running the latest firmware, rooted, and about to take off all the bloatware too.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zak_k:
Off topic here guys, but how many of you are planning to update to ICS as soon as it's available?

Or would the majority want to make sure there's a way to root it first?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
Personally, given everything that the Arc S does right now and how well it does it, I see no reason to upgrade ever again ;)

Hey all, I searched for this but didn't find anything so far. I'm on a stock rooted rom, hboot 1.4. I have a good wifi connection with my home network and the phone shows a strong signal but randomly I will lose wifi connectivity but still have signal. Wifi sleep policy set to never, best wifi performance checked. Any one else experience this or have any input? Thanks.

We're comin from a pure power source.

[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Try resetting your router. After you backup your router settings of course. Also I'd suggest updating your routers firmware. Sometimes signal degrading happens when routers need to be reset or upgraded to newer firmware. Hopefully that will solve your issue.

so i was looking for some nice earbuds and since i listen to music on my phone a lot at work, though maybe i'd get some with a mic too. klipsch has the S4a available specifically for android (with a single button remote) and aside from that it is identical to the S4i, the 3 button apple version.

since my local bestbuy didnt carry the A's, i was searching the interwebs for success using the I's. in all my searching i found 1 post where someone confirmed the mic of the S4i worked on their android and that they were using ICS. i figured i'd take a chance on them since i had gift card and reward certs to use at bestbuy. i can confirm that the S4i's work with the sensation running ICS 4.03. the phone recognizes the mic and it does in fact work. the two volume buttons do not work (i expected this). the center button plays/pauses music and answers/hangsup phone calls all without 3rd party software. doubleclicking the center button seems to redial the last call. i would suspect that could be addressed by klipsch's app or other 3rd part apps but ive not tested them.

just wanted to post that the S4i earbuds/mic do in fact work on the sensation in case anyone else goes searching for this answer in the future.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I found this to work with my Sol Republic Amps HD as well. The earbuds are meant for ipods, ipads, and iphones, but work on my Senny running Virtuous Sensation 3.0 running ICS.

I took a call from my wife and she could hear me fine with the earphones, so the Amps HD is a keeper for me as well. :)
[HTC Sensation] Mike9200:
I just wanna clear this up but the klipsch s4i and any mic'd headphones will work for any android phone (mic and sound) but volume control/track change buttons will never work for android phones if headphones are IOS specific (and Vice-versa)

- Regular headphones have a 2-banded input plug

-Mic'd headphones and android OK 3-button headphones have a 3-banded input

-Mic'd Iphone headphones with 3-button control have a 4-banded input plug and the extra band tends to pull on your 3.5mm headphone input so be careful about pulling out/plugging in your headphones fast (if your careful and slow u will not cause any harm to your phone :] )

I mention all of this because i've heard android phones (the input plug) have the ability to utilize 4-band 3-button headsets but android software makes this impossible. So one day you may get an update and all of the buttons on your s4i(s) may work. but this is baseless speculation ive heard and I would really like to know if this is true or not also :p

anyways congrats on the new headphones and hope that all makes sense
[HTC Sensation] Turbo Brian:
good info. i only posted this because i found many ppl online saying the mic wouldnt work on their android with the s4i.
[HTC Sensation] cap'n awesome:
So... I have the beats urbeats headphones with a 3 button remote and 4 banded plug in my Galaxy Nexus. It works flawlessly with the back, forward, and pause buttons all working properly.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnzt42yd:
have removed other apps however trying to remove kies air , polaris office and samsung im, phone is rooted, looked in /data/app and /preload :) , once deleted no instances of off .apks (when i do a search for them using root explorer :D . So why is it if i do factory reset these apps suddenly re-appear (:confused: once deleted in previous ics releases they stayed gone). anyone know where they are hidding what i am missing ??? advice welcomed
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kachrukamble:
Have you deleted in this manner >root explorer/system/app> delete?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
From what I read, there is essentially an image of your firmware saved in the system memory somewhere; that image will contain everything in your firmware before you start mucking with it, including any apps you remove. When you factory reset, anything in that image gets put back, so you'd have to remove/re-freeze/whatever any apps you removed before the factory reset.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
becuase when you do a factory reset after the reset it does a quick reinstall of all apps the the default csc that you have.. and those must be in it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Izzint that what I just said? ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnzt42yd:
i follow what youir saying, however i find it strange that nothing else that i have removed (mostly samsung bloatware hubs and few other apps ) on checking they havent seem to "reapear" only these three apps following what you have said and your line surley these should also have reinstalled ? iv gone as far as wipeing cache through cwm and as stated factory reset as well but these three just refuse to die / go away so once again ...can anyone tell me where they are hiding
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Hmm. That IS strange. But sounds like it should only be an issue when you do a factory reset, right? How many times do you do a factory reset that this becomes that big of a pain?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hey

Flashed this any everything works apart from my phone cant find any network nor data signal. Tried flashing different kernals and modems but nothing works. Some people have had the same problem but no luck either.

Does anyone have any idea's how to fix this?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Enter network settings manually is the normal first step .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks will give it a shot :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
No voice NOR data signal? Sounds like the modems that came with the ROM you flashed aren't compatible with your network. Try the modem thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
So if i found a t mobile modem for example then flashed that, it should work?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Yes. Provided you're meaning T-mobile Europe. (NOT T-mobile USA)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Sweet! Let the hunt begin :) thank you for your help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Just be sure you use I9100 modems. Don't use modems intended for any other models of phone...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
hmm not having too much luck finding a t-mobile modem. Know where i could potentially find one ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Shipped modem thread.

Doesn't seem to be anything that specifies which are used by T-Mobile of any particular country though. You could ask around and see if any T-Mobile users in your country can tell you what modems they are using in their phone.

I don't find a "hydroxygen mod v1" ROM when I search. Are you referring to "HydrOG3NMOD V1.2"? If so, it may be better for you to post in that thread asking if any other users of that ROM are experiencing the same issue. Maybe some additional steps are necessary.

But if you don't get help there, I'd suggest you reflash a stock ROM first (from Intratech's official stock firmware thread) and make sure you get voice/data signal. Then reflash whatever ROM you're looking at, but remove "modem.bin" from the package before flashing so you retain the modems that work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks alot man :) really helped and sorry my bad. Meant the one you posted the link too
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradoxxx:
Hi there.

The ROM doesn't flash modem, as this is user based preference.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] LucasMN:
I recieved my Bionic on Tuesday and so far so good, quite an upgrade from the Original Droid. I haven't noticed any of the issues you guys talk about (loosing data connection, doesn't wake up, poor battery life).

I'm a somewhat heavy user, I work in IT and I'm on my phone constantly.Yesterday I had 10% battery life left after 27 hours of use on the standard battery. I am rooted, but still on 893.

Anyway, I'm here to ask if anyone has a generic stand that they're using for the Bionic? It doesn't need to have charging, hdmi, or other capabilities. I just want to be able to set my phone in it while I'm at my desk so I don't keep dropping stuff on it. I know a lot of the tablet guys use a picture frame stand or a plate stand and that works good. Anyone recommend something like that for this phone?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] unbesorgt:
I'm a big fan of these smartphone coasters. At $4.95 a pop you can't beat the price. They fit the Bionic perfectly and you can still plug in a charger if needed. I have one on my desk at work and one at home.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] LucasMN:
Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. I ordered one up.
[HTC Sensation] cwsen:
As you know, ICS supports folder function on screen. So I created couple folders on my home screens by drag app on top of another to create folders. Now on my home screen I had more then 8 folders, and many apps in every folders.

And, the ICS ROM got frequent upgrade with great developers in XDA. Thanks you! But in many cases, it need to do wipe before ROM upgrade. Then I will lost all my folder settings.

How can I backup my folder settings? Then after ROM upgrade, and apps installed, I can restore my folder settings and don't need to create it again one by one? Appreciate your expertise~

Try backing up your homescreen with mybackup. It might get you in trouble though..

Can anyone tell me how to change my 1.17 hboot. To runvirtuous quattro or will it change when I flash the 3.24 firm ware. Is there a guide?
[HTC Sensation] stormy_gale:
Hi -

FW 324 will change your Hboot to version 1.27.0000... But ensure the rom you're going to flash will work with this firmware...

This links ( [Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on ) has a guide ( step 2 ) to install recovery & lots of other very useful information. If this is the first time you've flashed a rom have a good read of the various guides on the forum...

[Xperia Play General] micahbzrk:
I own a Sony Xperia Play r800i unlocked on T-mobile US and I also own a HTC Sensation 4G.

Now the Sensation of course has a slightly bigger screen at 4.3 inches and the screen is a bit darker being QHD vs the Play's LCD i believe.

But I am trying to decide which phone I should keep and which phone I should sell and i was playing with both phones at the same time and I noticed that my Sensation is sometimes right on spar speedwise and often times behind the Xperia Play.

Which is baffling b/c the Sensation is 1.2 GhZ dualcore vs the Play's 1GHZ single-core.

Example:

Launching both HTC Contacts & Sony Contacts, the Play always loads the same contact faster. Sense tends to have to "load" the contact for a second or two when the play automatically launches it.

I'm using Go launcher on both with the same theme and the rotate times on both phones is equal though at times the play tends to rotate faster and the app drawer opens faster.

But the Speed of the browser is what baffled me the most. Now the Sensation is 4G so i didn't use T-mobile network speed. I used my own wifi connection to test the browsers.

I went to 3 different sites with both phones at the same time and loaded the pages. Flash was enabled on both phones and the Play loaded faster. Granted the Sensation did start showing pictures and text first by the end of the load times, the play loaded faster.

So how is this possible that a 1GHZ phone can best a Dualcore phone? I wish I still had my Galaxy S2 to test it.

Have you tried your phone against Dual-core phones?

Personally i am a bit torn on which to keep.

The Play does work out of the box the way it should however the Cameras on the front and back are awful though the Sensation is only slightly better....

The Sensation is an attractive device with a slightly brighter and bigger screen but at the same time it can be slow and the call quality is not great at all tbh.

It's OKAY but eh.

I wish I could root them both to see which is better but no clue where to begin.

Have you tried your phone against Dual-core phones?
[Xperia Play General] Sniper Spr3e:
if your having trouble choosing then you arent really thinking about the main advantage of the play (the game pad) wish is amazing and makes this the best phone i could get.

while a phone may appear to be better on paper doesnt make it better i gladly choose the play over a galaxy s2.

let me use an example

playing emulated sonic 1 on gensoid

sensation

screen first

4.3 inch screen but you lose some of this due to using the screen for buttons so it you can see all of it constantly so the screen losses upto a inch in the corners where your fingers are covering the on screen buttons.

processor

no benefit of the dual core at all as even a 600mhz arm6 single core can emulate it perfectly

x play

full use of the 4 inch screen as fingers are on a dedicated touch pad which makes playing 3v easier and nicer

processor

1ghz single core i havent had any issues playing any games even n64 ones. a freind has a galaxy s2 with dead space and the gameplay is just as smooth as it.

touch pad

its just simply amazing for games that are compatible
[Xperia Play General] micahbzrk:
Oh i did forget to list that as a Pro. The Gamepad is a plus to me(though it isn't good at playing for long periods of times)

I play Gameboid on my Sensation and while the screen is bigger, the buttons are white thus they tend to blend in with my screen so it is hard to see the game controls.....

I honestly can't even remember what it was about the Play I hated in the first place.....Aside from this horrible camera. Like i literally can not remember. I just got both phones about 2 weeks ago and I have 17 days to return the play back to Amazon. I brought the Sensation off Ebay so I am sort of stuck with it unless I sell it to eat the cost of the play(I'll still be out like 100 bucks though...eh)

Is it true AND Confirmed playstation suite is coming to our phones in the next couple of weeks? Or is it still a rumor?

What all will that bring to the phone?
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Keep the Xperia Play. The camera is not that bad 5 megapixel and 720p video recording as well as physical buttons !

Trust me the physical buttons makes all the difference when playing games you don't wanna be covering half of the screen when playing games do ya ? :D
[Xperia Play General] Sniper Spr3e:
while playstation suite isnt confirmed you can safely bet it will come to us since we are the flagship device and the biggest audience they have
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Agreed it will come :)
[Xperia Play General] KeiranFTW:
If you don't want your sensation I could take it off your hands for you :)

lol, I would have gotten one but I don't have enough money sadly.
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
It has no gamepad, why compare it?

If you want to be one of the people us play owners are so famous for laughing at them by all means.

While your thumb is covering me on your screen i will be shooting you in the face
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Exactly ;)

I repaired the glass and LCD in an HTC Sensation 4G and got to play around with it for a few days and I was impressed! I seriously asked the owner if he'd trade for my Xperia PLAY. He turned me down despite having played it more than I did (was mu coworker for a couple months; Sensation was broken the entire time and he never let me fix it until his HTC MyTouch 3G also broke).
[General Questions and Answers] zuben el genubi:
"Factory wipe will only reset it back to how it was when you got the device... with all those apps. I know in ICS it lets you all but remove apps like hides them and kills them but your device doesn't have ICS."

Quote from another post. Will someone please explain this? What do you mean kills them?

I have an Acer tablet that is due for ICS, and most of the other stuff that comes with it isn't exactly interesting. If the camera works, it works. If I can run the apps I want, fine. If it will do what I want, fine.

I'm debating about rooting it, just to get rid of all the extra junk and buy what I want. (Built in vid player will not play FLV), so have to get another. I don't mind buying one if I like it.

I want to give the tablet to a family member eventually, and I don't think they'd want root.

That leads to another thing I don't like. Why can't the mfg let you know you can't use the SD card like you can on a phone? Right now, I also have a Coby 7024 and I swap the card between them.

I have a rooted Galaxy phone - did the upgrade to GB, had to reroot, and wasn't that impressed. Plus I lost Gallery and sounds. (got them back) I don't use the social type apps, so TB froze or deleted them. I use the phone as a reference center.
