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

I've got a problem of connectivity with my new operator (Free Mobile).

When I connect to its network, sometimes I'm rejected (SIM not authorized message), sometimes it works but I don't receive any data at all (call include).

Rarely I can download a few things for about 2 minutes.

With this operator I can also connect to a competitor network (Orange). On this network everything works well.

These 2 networks are 3G ones.

A friend suscribed to the same operator and have no problem with it. So we switched our SIMs to see if it was linked to my subscription or to my phone. He had no problem with my SIM while I encountered exactly the same problem with his.

Is that possible that some baseband drivers are not adapted to this new operator as they have bought a new frequency range (frequencies that were not available before in France) ?

If anybody here have a xperia arc (or arc s) have suscribed Free Mobile, I would be happy to have some feedback (is it working on Free Mobile network ? If so, what is the kernel / rom / baseband used ?)

Thanks !

Edit :

I've now installed CM7 kernel + rom and patched baseband (64).

Problem still here...

I'm still interested in other Free Mobile users feedback :)

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if there's a way to force ICS to let a program run in the background? I tried endomondo last night, and in a 30 minute session it only recorded 45 seconds...Seems ICS put it to sleep or something :S
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] polik1:
Hello to xda-forum's community!

I've bought new unbranded SE Xperia Mini Pro and it's my first Android device. I'm new to this forum and Android phones, but I'm aware of possibilities custom mods provides. I want to change stock Android to cyanogenmod 7.1.0.2 from official cyangoenmod site. But before I'll try all this I have couple questions for you:

1) Should I update my phone's official firmware before unlocking bootloader and flashing cyanogenmod 7.1.0.2?

2) Is there any option to make a full copy of my official Android before trying to flsh new one? I heard about NANDroid backup available in bootloader, but will it restore Sony Ericsson's Android if anything will go wrong?

3)What is the difference between mods and kernels? I assume I will flash new rom (cyanogenmod 7.1.0.2), but what will be the kernel?

4) How can I prevent bootloop problem during flashing cyanogenmod 7.1.0.2? From what I've read, it's a pretty big problem and nobody presented a full solution, in fact there wasn't any help at all. I searched a bit on other Sony Ericsson Xperia's forums, and this problem is not exclusive for Xperia Mini Pro, but appears in i.e. Xperia Neo, Xperia Mini etc. People claim that removing AntHalService.apk from zip archive (update-cm-7.1.0.2-XperiaMiniPro-SK17i-signed.zip/system/app) made flashing new stable cyanogenmod possible. But I don't know what to tkink about removing one of system apps. I have no idea what is it doing and if it's safe. What do you think?

4) Is everything working in this cyanogenmod 7.1.0.2 release?

5) What's the difference between cyanogenmod 7.1.0.2 from official site and the cyanogenmod 7.2 made by freexperia team? It's completely new cyanogen or maybe they're upgrading version 7.1.0.2? Or maybe they're making their own version of cyanogenmod and that's why it's still in development and some things arent fully working now?

I really hope someone will help me. Have a nice day ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SwissGeeK:
1) Yes you should update to the latest firmware .62 because the latest FXP106 requires the latest baseband to work properly.

2) Yes, once you have access to CWM, you can backup your rom.

3) I don't understand what you mean by "mod", you mean like a visual mod, like a .zip file you flash in CWM? A kernel is "a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level". People flash kernel for extra function, like CWM, Root, and Overclocking.

4) I never had any bootloop with custom ROMs, you just need to follow the instructions step by step and everything should work perfect.

4bis) Yes the phone is very functional with Cyanogenmod. Screen, 3G, Camera everything seems to works good, at least for me.

5) Freexperia Team makes both versions to my knowledge. 7.2 is an RC version, it has the latest fixes, changes.

Hope I answered your questions. If I were you, since you are new to Android phones, I would not try to switch to Cyanogenmod for the moment. Get used to your phone before doing anything serious (Cyanogenmod requires an unlocked bootloader, meaning you lose your warranty). Read information, threads, on your phone and Android to learn how things work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] polik1:
I think I'll take your advice and won't try serious things right now. But I have couple more questions, it will be great if you'll answer ;)

1) I see FXP106 requires the latest firmware, but there are some things not working properly in this version (i.e. radio), propobably because it's a RC. So are there things not working in latest stable cyanogenmod 7.1.0.2 from wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide? I prefer older release where everything is running than new but buggy.

2) Should I update my firmware to the newest one in order to install cyanogenmod from the above link? I still hesitate to do this because there is no way (at least for now) to root latest baseband .64 and rooting seems to be less complicated operation than flashing new rom.

3) In my previous post I asked about the difference between rom and kernel.

4) There's something I don't understand in the guide I linked. At first I'm unlocking the bootloader. Can I make a full backup of my firmware just after this point? Or should I update the kernel (via step with boot.img) and then make a backup?

5) Is it possible to boot firmware after step with updating the kernel? I mean, can I boot the phone after this step?

6) If I follow the above guide, at which point am I rooting the phone?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SwissGeeK:
I'll try my best to answer your questions. :)

1) Honestly I didn't try Cyanogenmod much time but the latest FXP ROMs worked great for me, no major bugs and pretty stable! I would prefer the latest release if I were you.

2) Anyways if you want Cyanogenmod, you NEED an unlocked bootloader. That will make the ROOT process easy. First you ROOT your device to get access to recovery with a new kernel then you will flash the ROM. And yes you should upgrade to the latest version for Cyanogenmod.

3) ROM = it's the complete system, think of it like installing the OS on your computer. KERNEL = the drivers that allow software and hardware to interact.

4) Once you unlock you bootloader, you will be able to flash a custom kernel that will give you access to recovery (CWM) and there you will be able to perform a backup.

5) Once you flash a new kernel, it depends. If it's a kernel for stock ROM yes you can boot right away. But Cyanogenmod used a different kernel.

6) If you follow the guide, you are rooting your phone at the moment you flash a kernel that gives you root access.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BudgyN1:
Hope you enjoy your Xperia Mini Pro! I'm loving mine

1)Yes, you should update your phone to the lastest firmware. It worked for me when I did it

2)Yes there is, after you unlocked the bootloader and flashed a kernel on, in the ClockWorkRecovery Mod, there is a "backup or restore" option to backup the Xperia Mini Pro stock ROM

3)ROMs is the UI your phone will be using for example HTC Sense is HTC Sense UI and Kernel is the driver for yours phone software and hardware to interact and process

4)I tried to flash CyanogenMod 7.1.0.2 and I got stuck on the bootloading screen, I did many methods and such and I couldn't stop the looping. Plus the Official CyanogenMod team has given a statement or a bug fix to fix it. Though CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 works but has many bugs to fix out, the biggest one is that Vibration doesn't work.

5)The FreeXperia teams works more on the Mini phones then the Official CyanogenMod team because the CyanogenMod team, usually ports the ROM from another phone and then does all the bugs fixes. While the FreeXperia Team, works fully with the Mini and Mini Pro phones, building a ROM around the phone instead of a port. (Thats what I heard, not fully sure)

If your new to the Android community, do not root or flash a ROM without getting to know how it all works. Plus it will void your warranty. Hope all this helps

[HTC Sensation] spockmeat:
Hey guys, I've been modding phones since the razer days so i have some grip on what im doing here yet im a bit vexxed at the current situation.

I Carefully rooted and upgraded my sensation to onceICS rom using revoltonary tool, the appropriate firmware and an eventual radio update(just in case)

Since installing that rom i have had NO 4g connectivity. Ive been stuck in 3g dispite having 4g on the stock rom in the same location...

UPDATE i just RUU'd back to stock and i have 4G again. Is it possible that the oneICS rom is botched? Im hesitant to redo the root/custom rom process again if im going to lose 4g but i really dont see how this would affect it lol.

PS Yes, i did a speed test before and after. On th stock rom i hit about 10mps at my window and on the custom roms i was hitting 1.6mps..
[HTC Sensation] DDeveryday:
Were the two speed tested in the same location?? I have flashed almost everything posted on the development section(Always bored at work), and i never had this issue.
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
T-Mobile 4g is still 3g, but your phone's hardware has to support a higher speed, which it does.

The 4g icon is actually lying, because its still based on 3g tech, just a faster back end. You're still getting your 4g speeds.

Did you miss the part where he said "but your phone's hardware has to support a higher speed"? Nexus did not have hardware support for higher speeds, Sensation does.

It could be the Rom... Been seeing some complains about their signal strength is low when in ICS... That's why I'm still hesitant to upgrade... Try other Rom... I could be wrong though...

you missed the point completely. The nexus s doesn't support hspa+, so you'll never get any of the hspa+ speeds regardless of what you do.

The sensation, does. And the 4g/h icon is meaningless, as long as you're getting normal speeds. But the phone has to support hspa+ to get hspa+ speeds.

What can I do?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andersonphotographics:
I've had my prime for 3 weeks now (UK version BC0KA) and is suffering from the random reboots (approx 4/5 times a day) and the BT/WiFi issue.I've been following the .13 upgrade threads with interest, and it seems that the charge state is a relevant factor when doing updates. When I received my prime I did the OTA 4.0.3 update straight away i.e. before fully charging the tablet or docking - there was no reference to this in the manual delivered with the device.

I am now questioning whether the charge state was relevant to the success (or otherwise) of the OTA 4.0.3 update ? I'm also wondering whether the .13 update will overarch any issues from the previous update OR whether I somehow need to do a fresh install of 4.0.3.

My device has not been rooted and I have no intention of doing so (I think !!)

Apologies if I've missed it somewhere on the forum, but with so much conflicting info and opinions on this matter, it would be useful if there was a definitive sticky with a correct sequence for upgrades i.e 1. factory reset / cold boot / power switch + vol down before and / or after updating ? 2. charge state required ? 3. charger plugged in ? 4. docked ? 5. statement regarding ability to roll back to previous state if problem are encountered.

Hope someone with more knowledge of these things is able to oblige. We are expecting the .13 update anytime soon here in the UK - and I simply dont know whether to install it or sort out any potential 4.0.3 installation issues first.
