hey, my sgs+ can't connect to the pc. it allows batterie loading, but connecting via usb doesn't work. i've tried a reset, reinstalling ROM, the usb modes (kies etc.), i've tried another cable and another pc. what shell i do? :( :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dr.wtf:
what do you want to connect to? for kies i don't know. never used it. otherwise you got to change your usb settings on your phone

btw: this is a development forum... ask somewhere else... the i9000 guys can help you with this too
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sn0vvman:
May be something wrong with your phone usb port, some contacts not work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atzukak:
First of all, you should tell if you are using a stock rom, other problem uses to be the windows driver, it does a wrong installation or gets corrupted sometimes.

Try reinstalling the driver, or if you are on a non oficial rom, try another one, or an oficial one, but remember to save your efs folder first in that case.

Hello ladies and gents. I am trying to find the best ICS rom for the HTC sensation when it comes to the battery life. I understand the roms on here are works in progress, I would just like to find a good rom that isn't too hard on the battery life. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

well, the rom that I used and I personally find the best was virtous inquisition, this rom was all the way 1.5 ghz, and i still got almost 2 days of battery life with medium usage ( lots of texting, few phone calls, a little bit of angry birds) hope I helped!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android78822:
Thanks, I've tried both Seamless blitz and 10.1. When I use them for about medium use, the battery life drops nearly 10 percent withing the hour.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android78822:
Thanks, I've downloaded this ROM, just haven't put it on my phone yet, so I will give it a try. I used Virtous ROMs on my mytouch 4g, and they were great.

I have been using rsd lite 5.3.1 to flash my droid x2. However I just downloaded rsd lite 5.6 for my wife's bionic. Now I noticed I can not open 5.3.1 anymore only rsd lite 5.6 Will this version be ok for my droid x2 or will I have to remove it and re download my old one? Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid X2] DaveRichardson:
5.6 will be fine, no worries.
[HTC Sensation] kkalkan:
As I wrote above, if you have problems here? ICS when you load rom, the screen quality is hdpi. What is the solution if any?
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Literally no one else has had that issue. One of the roms used HDPI images but the screen itself was not. However, it has been updated to no longer have those.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Hi Guys,

Just had my Sony Arc S, love the phone, I previously had a Samsung GS2 and Desire and fiddled about with them rooted custom firmware etc.

Problem is I'm finding the Arc quite confusing here are some questions below hopefully someone can help, btw I have done a lot of reading before posting this but I'm still confused.

1. Is the Sony Arc "S" unlocked with regards to the bootloader?, I have checked with the *#*#7378423#*#* sony give and mine says allowed "yes".

2. I would like to install a better kernel (maybe doom kernel?), can someone recommend one, also im currently on 0.42 should I be going to 0.62?

3. In what order must I unlock bootloader, root, and install kernel or custom rom also how will I get CWM on?

4. Whats the easiest method of unlocking the bootloader, and rooting I have seen zerg one click does this work?

5. Will I have to partition my sd card to use link2sd or any other app to sd app if so what ext and swap do I need?.

Basically I'm really confused the GS2 was a lot more straight forward than the arc, the 0.42, and 0.62 is that the original kernel and if so if I installed doom kernel would it just write over it?.

What I would like is to make my Arc S the best it can be in terms of free space, speed and battery, I really like the Sony OS and dont really think ill be putting a custom rom on there as I like the sony widgets also unless someone can recommend one.

Also I'm looking forward to ICS coming out in march, will I be able to officially upgrade after unlocking the bootloader and rooting?.

Thanks kindly guys for all your help :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
1 . Bootloader is unlockable.. but not unlocked.. you'll need to go here to unlock it.

2. Latest version of doomkernel is very good.. I'm running it overclocked to 1.6Ghz. following the instructions on his thread for that.

3. You should unlock the BL then install the the f/w you want..then install the kernel.. then if it's not pre-rooted.. root it! Think Doomkernel is pre-rooted actually!

4. Not required!

5. If you're using the Android facility to move apps to SD you don't need to partition.. you only need that for link2SD..

Hope that helps!

You should also install the latest version of V6 Supercharger to make your home screen stable and smoother..

There's a few tweaked versions of the SE system on the dev pages if you fancy a try..

The SE stuff is actually dead easy once you've done it a couple of times..

You should also download x10 flashtool which makes it easy flashing roms (standard SE ones from different regions, or tweaked, or completely customised!)

and yes - you'll still be able to upgrade to ICS.. just not through the Sony update service - you'll have to wait til someone posts the new firmware on here (which will usually be within about 5 minutes of it being made live!!)..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Hi Iceman,

We only need goose now LOL.

Im Still a little confused is 0.42 and 0.62 the radio then?, does that mean I can unlock bootloader then upgrade radio to 0.62?.

also how do I install the doomkernel without having clockwork installed must it be done through adb?

with the SE roms you say there are some tweaked ones out there any good ones you have tried?

I will def take your advice and install V6 Supercharger to hopefully make it run smoother.

I came from having the GS2 which I loved but I sold it on for £310 and got a very reasonable contract with the arc s, tbh I love the look of the phone and the SE OS, it is IMO much nicer than touchwiz, but I do find it lags slightly when there are lots of widgets on screen.

Anyway thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
Hi - I'm only using stock SE firmware, which I'm then tweaking myself - with things like v6, removing unwanted system apps etc (using titanium).

.42 and .62 are the firmware versions... there are also basebands which control the radio and they end with . numbers too.. but you needn't worry too much about that initially.

once you've unlocked the boot loader you can download the kernel and put it in your adb folder on your PC.. then type fastboot flash boot filename.img (where filename.img is the actual name of the kernel you've downloaded and stored in your adb folder).. this will flash the kernal onto your phone...

V6 is awesome.. I've selected the options make the launcher "bulletproof" and "balanced 3" for the memory management.. The only thing that holds the arc back from being as good as the SGS2 is the lack of memory (which is why V6 is so good as it sorts out the memory management really well).

(PS - you can be my wing man anytime!)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Haha (you can be mine LOL!)

Right things starting to clear up slowly LOL, I've just connected my phone now and PC companion is asking me to upgrade to 0.62, should I do that first then unlock bootloader then kernel, I think i'll be like you and just tweak the stock rom rather than installing a new one as I think there's not many out there that are hugely improved.

I like the idea of removing all the crap apps though and will look into that as long as I dont **** anything up LOL.

Thanks again buddy
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
No worries.. go for the upgrade.. it'll be easier than doing it after you've unlocked the BL..

If you use titanium you can freeze stuff before you remove it altogether to make sure the phone works ok without it!.

Just one thing I've thought of.. is your Arc S unbranded? you may not be able to unlock the BL via the SE unlock tool if it is BRANDED..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Yes the phone is unbranded, a little worried as some peps are stressing when they upgraded to 0.62 with regards to rooting, this is really whats confusing me, dont want to upgrade then not be able to root or unlock BL etc thats why I asked

didnt know that about titanium thats handy! lets me mess about LOL
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
don't worry about rooting... if you unlock the BL and instlall doomkernel v18 you'll have root.. I'm running .62 and fully rooted via the kernel...

in any case you can always use flashtool to change the firmware back to .42 if you want to!.. flashtool works in the same way as SEUS or PC Companion, only it allows you to choose which firmware to install..

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

The bootloader and kernel sit "beneath" the firmware (.42/ .62) so it's not affected by what's above it in the stack.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Brilliant thanks for clearing that up iceman, so its upgrade to 0.62 then off to unlock BL, install doomkernel v18 via adb, custom rom if wanted or remain on stock and install supercharger, then titanium backup freeze apps trial and error then time to get rid of crap apps thorugh file explorer.

Sounds good, hopefully it will all go well.

All your help was much appreciated
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
No problem. You can also uninstall apps through titanium too (including system apps)... It's pretty powerful!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Well managed to upgrade to .62 and unlock BL, install Doom Kernel and wifi modules and have started to remove some bloatware using Flo's tut, was just wondering if the following apps could be removed?

facebook music and vids & games & apps

livewire manager

video unlimited

Also had a look at the tut for super charger v6 and looks really compilcated is it def worth having on the phone?

Finally if I was to do a full reset after removing bloatware would .62, doomkernel, root etc all still be there and would removing bloatware cause anything like bootloops etc?, just want to be on the safe side just in case I need to restart the phone.

Thanks Iceman
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
I'd keep the liveware manager.. the others you can get rid of..

V6 looks quite complex, but if you just step through it it's not so bad... a mate of mine did a detailed tut for it here... might help.. you probably only need section 3 though!

If you did a factory reset it would leave the kernel and .62 firmware, think the bloatware would stay gone too..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Hi iceman,

I've pretty much done everything to my phone apart from the supercharger, thanks for the link i've looked into it and it doesnt seem that hard but i've come up against a problem.

I recently bought a gold sim card number from ebay and ported it from vodafone to my current sim virgin, the number got ported so when I phone it comes up with my new gold number, but my arc keeps on displaying my old number in the contacts and its really confusing me so I've tried everything, battery out, simcard out etc etc this didnt work. So I decided to full factory reset the phone and reset everything as well, it did as you said on your previous post and kept 0.62, doom kernel and most of the junk apps were gone but not all, anyways on testing everything was ok apart from the wifi not connecting and also the home key doesnt work??.

So again i've tried factory reset, putting all the junk apps back in, battery out and even flashing doomkernel again but nothing, i'm kinda wishing I was back on stock right now LOL.

I know these may be tricky problems but do you have any advice with regards to the sim card number and also the home button and wifi problem?, ps home button does function as it works in CWM.

Thanks a lot

Hi! First I think I can help you about Wi-Fi. Did you forgot to instal MODULES for DooMKernel (v15 onwards)? :D Don't know what your homebuton problem might be.

And my questions:

1.Can I change baseband from -36 to -64 at any time, or must I flash whole ROM or Kernel again?

2.Will I be able to uninstall V6 Supercharger if I want to?

3.How could I made whole backup of my ROM (using arconium 6.1)?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
1. Yes, just flash thecrequiered libs

2. Yes, there's an uninstall option.

3. Using clockwordmod recovery
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
The phone number problem is an android issue - nothing to do with the phone per se... you'll need to put your new sim card into a different non-android phone and update the "my phone number" settings... (I used my old Samsung Tocco!)..

Wifi - you may need to re-install the wifi libs as per SEK610i's suggestion..

Regarding home button... mmm.. never seen that before!.. have you got root explorer or other file manager?

Have a look in here... /system/usr/keylayout/pm8058-keypad.kl

does key102 say "home wake_dropped" next to it? it should!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Hey Iceman,

Thanks for the reply, I had modules installed for wifi. Didnt know that about a ported number only problem no old phones LOL, nevermind will have to just add a new my number 2 or something.

Anyways managed to sort the home key issue, after installing arconium 7.02 beta, I installed arconium 6.01 and all works well.

I should have done this at the start rather than delete the junk apps myself as arc 6.01 works really well.

Infact I have setcpu installed the phone is on brazilian wax and it is as smooth as the GS2 now, even with a big live wallpaper for the background.

So I'm really happy now, I also installed volume + to try and sort out some sound issued im having basically the microphone is a little crackly and vibrates when listening to some songs and youtube vids, volume + has improved it a bit, I know its not my phone as my previous arc s also had it and I sent it back thinking it was faulty, although that was also restarting itself from time to time too.

Anyway thanks very much for all your help you've been a star mate!.

Hi Iceman,

Any chance you could help please?,

Just managed to create my own Rom I know unbelievable right?, well I used bits and bobs from the Arc rom, used dooms kernel, and bits from themes and new s apps etc and tweaked a bit with lovely new themes and voila perfect.

problem is being too much of a smart arse I formatted my sd card just as I was about to install an updated leaner rom that i'd made, so i decided I would just connect the phone up to fastboot and install the rom from there.

Well I thought the system command was to install a rom, so i typed fastboot flash system "my roms name and .zip at the end it erased then wrote quite quickly and alarm bells started to ring cos I thought no way thats installed a rom.

Anyways I just get doom kernels logo now and nothing else it wont go further for me to get into CWM.

Although its allowing me into fastboot so hopefully its not bricked.

I'll post this question in main thread also, as I'm stressed LOL!

Cheers

Does anyone have or know of a mouse friendly theme. I use my little bluetooth mouse a lot while I am at my desk. But there are a lot of places where I cant go backwards without hitting the back arrow on the phone. Or to get to the desktop I need to hit the home icon on the front of the phone. I am running ICS AOSP while I am at work so I can have the mouse feature. At home I run sense, till I can find a Sense rom with the mouse feature. Is there one out there?

Sorry for asking a noob question, but I just wanna get things clear.

Currently my SGS2 is rooted (just rooted) and is on the stock rom. We all know ICS for SGS2 will be released pretty soon so, once I have updated my phone to the new ICS, will my phone be unrooted ?

Also will I be able to OTA update while rooted?

Thanks for the help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Unless the ICS ROM you install is pre-rooted, in all likelihood, yes, you will lose root.

I'm not sure OTA is even implemented... but if you're just rooted, that shouldn't affect your ability to use OTA if it's there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnBonchie:
Thanks for quick reply.

One more question, once if I've updated to ICS, i do have to wait for the new files before the ICS can be rooted right? I just can't use the same files and method that I used before to get my phone rooted? Correct me if I'm wrong
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Yes - do NOT use the same files and method. At best, it just won't work. At worst, you will cause huge issues with your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
If you are talking about updating via Kies then yes you will loose root.Also OTA.To re-root you can use the CF-Root method as before as long as you match the root kernel with your stock kernel.OTA updates work if you are rooted but dont work if you have a custom ROM installed.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Flashing any new firmware, unless that new firmware comes rooted, yes, you will lose root. And though it's your choice to try a leaked ICS, just be aware - anything out at this point, as stated is a LEAK. (i.e. NO guarantees as to stability)

I for one, do not plan on going anywhere near an ICS ROM until official ICS is released by Samsung somewhere, for a ROM chef to use as a base.

Stable for one person is not stable for another. Only way to know for you is to back your phone up and try yourself.
