I am just seeing if anyone would swap their Arc S / Arc for a Nexus S ?

it is in excellent condition comes in original box and has headphones with it

the bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted with recovery

PHOTOS are in this thread

let me know ;)
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
Hi - I'm not in the market for a new phone.. but I am curious as to what you don't like about it and why you prefer the arc s?
[Xperia Arc General] chiefy009:
prefer the looks of the arc s or even arc the nexus s is a big old lump but has loads of development

I prefer to look good ;-)
[Xperia Arc General] waynekirby:
I agree, why not wait out for Xperia S buddy? :D
[Xperia Arc General] doomed151:
and the Nexus S already got ICS.

Hey friends,

I am having a little trouble using pathsaver to stock from eclipse 2.1.

drivers and all are installed.

using the newest version linked in a thread below

in charge mode/usb debug mode

when I run the script it just hangs at phase 1.

Any ideas? or a better way for getting to a rooted 893?

Try using R3l3AS3DRoot and For3v3r Root first, then use Path Saver.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cchaos:
Hi all.

I need/want to bootloader unlock my friends X10 that is (currently) running the latest stock firmware. It is currently running 3.0.1.G.0.75 Orange UK branded firmware, but by the time Im done with ready for flashing kernels and ROMs, it will be running 3.0.1.G.0.75 generic UK (either by editing the build.prop or flashing it with flashtool should multiupload.com suddenly become online again - but thats minor details as far as I can tell)

Unfortunately when my friend brought the phone, it was SIM locked (to orange as far as Im aware (its a white one and "supposed" to be "orange exclusive")) so I have unlocked it using Omnius as my friend uses O2.

After discovering how much nicer my X10 Mini Pro is with a custom ROM on it, he too has decided to take to the custom ROM route.

However, most of the ROMs now appear to rely on a custom kernel or an unlocked bootloader for obvious reasons.

I have installed the latest flashtool (Flashtool version 0.6.7.0), and noticed about the "plugins>unlock bootloader" . Even more curious, I decided to open the folder where it is installed, and noticed in the custom\features\UnlockBL\files\qsd8250 directory, there is a file called qsd8250bootwrite_omniusSL (along with setool's and SEMC's ones obviously) and what appears to be various scripts, which I assume checks for the type of certificate, then flashes what it needs to the phone.

My main questions are:

1 If I unlock using flashtool, would the radio signals stop working?

2 Will this affect the unlock status of the phone? Example: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19322815&postcount=224

I have tried searching for just about anything to do with omnius and bootloader unlocking, but only to find that Ive gotten lost in so many threads saying different things, Im not sure what to believe any more :confused:

I know this is for a different chipset (well, its a different phone) but just a taste of what I have found out:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cchaos:
Almost a year later, and the phone now being mine (and Ive got plenty of spare phones), I decided to take a "risk" on the above phone using Flashtool version 0.9.10.1:

1 Its unlocked the bootloader fine as far as I can tell; I havent actually installed a custom kernel (or a custom ROM for that matter) yet as I have yet to choose one - and yes I know theres a custom kernel already in flashtool. I dont seem to have any problems with signal on the phone using the stock firmware.

2 Phone seems to have kept unlocked. However at the moment I dont have another SIM to test it with, but the service menu certainly suggests that it hasnt lost its unlock.

Hope this helps someone else!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassman198721:
Can someone please help me with my horrible battery life on my infuse? I cant make it a whole day on my phone. I don't play games on it at all during the day because I work. The only thing I do is make calls and text. I had 100% battery this morning at 6:00am and it is now 1:30pm and I am down to 12%. I am running the latest version of catyrom on my phone and it was supposed to increase the battery life. My phone is less than a year old (probably only 6 months old if that) so the battery on it should not be shot. Any help would be awesome!

THANKS!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Should not be like that. All the uckl2 base ROM have very good battery life.

Try a reflash. I would go into cwm, wipe data, wrote cache, wipe dalvik, fix permission, go to mount, wipe system, data and cache. Re flash ...i would try Another uckl2 base ROM then go back to caty if battery seems better
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garbagedump481:
Buy Juicedefender Ultimate, set it up whichever way works for you. I couldn't tell you about Catyrom and the JD AOSP helper compatibility.

Buy and set up SetCPU to downclock your CPU when your screen is off, and when your phone's charge goes under a certain amount. Change your governor to conservative, ondemand, or smartass. Those will help. You could try undervolting, but be wary of doing it too much.

Look at your battery useage history and work out your app issues from there.

A faster microSD card wouldn't hurt, class 4, 6, or 10 would be better than a class 2, if you're even using a microSD card. Faster read/write means less time reading/writing.

If you need even more power, you could always go to 2G networks if Catyrom allows you to use them. From my experience, it will interfere with speakers on other devices. I have ~8 pairs of speakers in my office, and the interference drives all my co-workers nuts.

And you could always carry a spare battery, which isn't the best of options, but it's a sure fire way to go on :p

Reduce the number of widgets you use, reduce the number of screens you have, remove redundancy in your apps, and turn off live wallpapers.

Turn off auto brightness, and set it down to lowest valuable that is useable, then bump it up just a bit more. Then set your timeout to something conservative such as 15 or 30seconds or 1 minute.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassman198721:
Thanks! I downloaded juicedefender and setcpu both. I had seen juicedefender in the market but was a little questionable about what it does. but I will see what and how good it does tomorrow. I have my phone charging right now so I will upload a pic of my battery life tomorrow around 3 so we can see how my phone is doing. When I looked at the battery usage when I plugged in my phone it was on for 7h 34m 24s on battery and when I plugged it in I had 6% battery. I really hope that this works. like I said all I do is text and call during the day.

Thanks again!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garbagedump481:
JuiceDefender, to put it shortly, will kill your data connection/wifi/gps automatically and will enable them again on a schedule.

Those won't interfere with your texting or calling, but it will interfere slightly with your MMS. You'll have to wait for data to be re-enabled to download pictures/videos.

You can set up a schedule for work to be on a more frequent basis than the one when you're not at work, and once you set the battery threshold and the "ignore on low battery" function, it will stop all schedules once the battery reaches that point.

It will re-enable data/wifi when you turn your screen on so you can use it.

That's about most of what it does and it does work very well.

If you'd like, you can get cheap spare batteries from ebay. They mostly ship from China so they take up to a month to get to you, but they're very inexpensive. I just got my 2200 mAh battery (it fits just like the stock one) and it's not even broken in yet. It's 2 PM where I am and I unplugged my phone at ~8. I'm still above 65%. I don't tend to have very restricted battery use like some folks, but I do look for ways to reduce the battery waste. Most of my stuff works when the phone is in idle/deep sleep. I haven't done much of anything today with the exception of a very few calls and a few texts, a little surfing, and I downloaded a CM7 update from the CM7 port's thread.

When it's been broken in it should do better. CM7 isn't as battery friendly as some other ROMs but I like it very much so far. I have been furiously debating whether or not to move to Zeus ROM, as it seems like the big boy's Infuse ROM right now but I can't tuck away CM7 just yet :p

EDIT: Another, probably very minor, battery saver would be to download and install Adfree. It reroutes all outbound requests for advertisements to the device itself, so those don't download data and you don't see ads. Instead of them possibly keeping your scheduled data connection on for longer while they download (or pumping up your data useage), they never go outbound because they don't require internet access once checked against the HOSTS file.

Also don't forget to do what qkster advised. Bad flashes do happen, and you could have just had a bad flash.

Bassman--What does about phone say is eating the battery?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sexyallknight:
I have never gotten what I thought was decent battery life out of this phone... I work as a field tech so this phone is my office... Serendipity gave me the best battery life of any rom I've tried and I've tried several.

When I first got it I used Infused rom I would average 3 to 4 batteries a day. When I went GB roms that dropped drastically to 1-2... Serendipity would get me through the work day (8-10hrs) and home w/ a little to spare. Lately I have been bouncing back and forth between caty and zeus averaging 2+ batteries a day.

Might add I received my phone as a hand me down from someone at work. He only used it for a few weeks but kept it stock.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
On any rooted ROM, i usually use tibu and delete buddy now, facebook, att, tether manager, devive update manager, etc..every possible background crap.

Every user is different, but with just calls and text, is not unusual for me to have 2-3 days before a charge.

2. Minimum Screen Brightness Settings

3. Minimum Screen Timeout setting.

4. Dont install Widgets based apps on home-screen

5. Kill the un-necessary background apps from Task Manager.

6. Use black theme in apps.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] PVD04:
Something I've found helps a lot is rebooting every morning. I'm running Zeus and noticed that the first day after a reboot I get great battery life (light- to medium-use would leave the battery at 50% after 12 hours). By the second or third day, I'd barely make it through the day. Since I've started rebooting every morning my battery life has been great. I also used BetterBatteryStats to help figure out which apps were keeping my phone awake. I learned that the Stocks app runs in the background waking the phone regardless of settings. Juice Defender is really a waste of time - you'll get better battery life by figuring out what's killing your battery and getting rid of it than having Juice Defender disable all of your phone's features when the screen is off(while using battery itself).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hardslog:
Man your battery life shouldn't be that bad. If it isn't a bad ROM flash then you could have a bad battery. Sometimes batteries die after a few months.

I did a lot of testing for apps and whatnot to try and see if I could maximize battery life. I tried all the juice defender and similar apps and didn't really like how they were killing off my services when the screen was off.

I found out that the main killers of my battery life were specific apps. When I used email apps with IMAP push services I noticed that they would kill my battery because they kept preventing my device from sleeping. I sometimes need about 18 hours in a day before I can charge so I really wanted to maxmize the battery as much as I could. I monitor new apps when I install them. Some seem sneaky so the battery stats might say that the app is only using something like 4% but it is also making the Android OS keep alive and use a higher percentage. I have about 70 apps installed but deleted most of the apps that seemed to kill my battery. In an 18 hour day now it is common for me to have at least 50% or more battery left over. It did take me a while to get this kind of battery life though. I was getting pretty frustrated for a while.

I'm running stock GB 2.3.3 (Rogers) and I am on the Bell network in the Great White North.

not that the Bionic is a bad phone but

You have an upgrade,

I'd use it on the Razr, Razr MAXX or galaxy nexus. If its the money, the Razr is a better and newer phone for $200 and i believe its bogo right now (or will be if i remember reading right)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Little812:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] balaams_ass:
I've owned a Dinc2 then a Bionic then a Galaxy Nexus. If this update fixes the data craptivity then the only reason to buy a Nexus is it's unlocked bootloader and ICS. If you don't care about such things then I would take the Bionic over the Dinc2. Want more detail PM me.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iheartarcee:
I think for the lower price the bionics is a great deal over the razr or nexus. Its nearly the same phone as the razr and the only reason for a nexus over a bionic is the unlocked bootloader. I say go for the bionic and save some money.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
If you're able to get a Rezound, I would get that instead of a Bionic, or anything Motorola. Much better Rom Development community on HTC than Motorola. I'm not a fan of the 3 button setup that the Nexus has (I've had an Android for 3 years and got used to the 4 buttons too much to change)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Little812:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Little812:
Update, working a deal that puts a stock bionic on my hands for $75 + the incredible 2. I keep my upgrade and wait for ICS love for the bionic.

How much of a deal breaker is not having the boot loader locked? Noob question...... Why is that important to have unlocked?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
Not having a bootloader makes things more difficult. I don't believe its the only reason for the amount of development though. The bionic suffers a lot from Verizon showing it up with the Razr and the nexus not too long after it was released. If the bionic wouldn't have been.delayed so long, I'm sure we would have seen more development than we have.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Little812:
New phone every month kinda deal I guess. The 4g lte is tempting.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 86shelby:
In retrospect, I would avoid the bionic like the plague....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
Lets see what Motorola brings us with ics. I've read rumors that it may come with the option to unlock the bootloader. While I don't necessarily believe that, with Google taking over and them announcing unlocked bootloaders for Europe, its not entirely unbelievable. If it comes to be true, development will really take off.

Motorola really should unlock the bootloader and allow this phone to live up to its name.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Little812:
Bit the bullet and made the deal.

Wow there is some serious bloat on this phone!

Refurbished BIONIC only $30 on upgrade...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Little812:
Yea saved my upgrade. Not disapointed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] knucklesmckay:
I would trade your Bionic for the Rezound. I had an Inc2 and loved it. Wish I went to Rezound instead of Bionic. If you are into installing roms, the Bionic is not for you. Development is dead here. Motorola killed this phone. Also there is a booby trap waiting for you around every corner with an encrypted bootloader phone if you want to mod it.

If you aren't going to mod/ rom it performs pretty well. I now get data drops every day just about (which I didn't before), but they are only for a couple minutes I guess. Restart connections app from the market helps.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Little812:
Now rooted and set up, staying on stock ROM and froze bloat. Progress so far...

I purchased Tegrak Ultimate, and I have SetCPU as well. Right now I am running Calkulin's ROM with Stock EL29 kernel. Trying to figure out Tegrak, but I'm not so savvey with knowing voltages and stuff like that.

I can OC up to 1.47ghz with Tegrak's presets, but I wanted to try and get it up to 1.6ghz OC. I know you have to adjust the voltages, but I can't figure out what I need to do to make it stable, the phone just freezes everytime I try and figure it out. Can anyone give me some knowledge?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
It all depends on the kernel you're running. Tegrak is for stock kernels, while SetCPU is for custom kernels. Tegrak allows you to slightly overclock the stock kernel, as well as adjust voltages and change your governor. As you've found, the highest you can go with Tegrak is 1.462 (if I recall correctly). If you want to go higher, you will need to run a custom kernel, such as Steady Hawkin's Team Rogue offerings (like "Gunslinger" or "Hitman"), and use SetCPU. On Calkulin's ROM, having SetCPU installed will disable his battery saving script, which underclocks the CPU at certain battery levels so keep that in mind. I doubt that will matter to you though as you're interested in overclocking not underclocking.

For voltages, I tend to boost the top two CPU steps by 25mv then test for stability. If I have issues then I boost by another 25mv and so on until it's stable (assuming I can get it stable). I'm not big on overclocking this phone though, as I really find no reason to do so. In fact I underclock the top end to 1000mhz and everything I do on the phone still flies.

Honestly though, I don't find Tegrak all that great for overclocking. It's nice for underclocking and changing your governor on a stock GS2 kernel, but not so much for overclocking. That's just me though. Others may find it suits them just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I find that Tegrak is great for undervolting the stock kernel. It allows you to undervolt both internal and core voltages as well as undervolt the GPU and adjust scheduler and governors. If you interested in staying at the stock clock speed and undervolting then Tegrak paired with the stock rogue repack kernel is the way to go.

If you are wanting to overclock and undervolt then programs like setcpu, voltage control, or pimp my CPU paired with the Gunslinger or Whitman kernel are the way to go. As for the programs they all do about the same thing. The only real difference is voltage control uses a script to load you clock/voltage settings and the others have to load at startup and run. So its all preferences. Also both pimp my CPU and setcpu are available for free on xda under the apps section of android development.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
I am also running "Gunslinger", I use Tegrak Ultimate to fine tune my o/c after I load the "Overclock Module" and can go about 1.67 at 1.475v before all hell breaks loose if I go higher on o/c or votage. I also use Tegrak to o/c my GPU I have that running at 400mhz at 1100mv. Now I use System Tuner Pro, for freezing apps you can also set votage it also has more tweaks then Tegrak and will show o/c on what ever Tegrak is set at, but System Pro does not have GPU o/c, so I use each other Tegrak/System Pro to really fine tune the GS2 and get the most out of it, if you know what I mean.
