Anyone got any advise on where I could get one. I need one fairly quick as I have documents on there I need and I couldn't find anywhere in town today. Very specific I know but hey I thought it was worth a shot asking on here :) !

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cybik:
Hello all. I've been culling the internets and XDA for the better part of an hour and I found only anecdotal evidence of people managing to acheive the fact, but never a clear and precise confirmation of what I'm about to ask. I tried to abuse the search but could not find a thing. So I'm asking this here:

Can a Rogers-branded and Rogers-sold Xperia mini pro sk17a (2011 series) be bootloader-unlocked using this method?

Feel free to point at me and laugh.

(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18013064&postcount=44 as a reference for the testpoint)

I would like to know as well. But can't confirm
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and go to Service info\Configuration. If you read

Rooting status:

Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes

Then you can unlock it.

If that's a No, you can't unlock it. Nor via official way, nor via test point method.

In this case you need to use a paid method, like Wotanserver.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eckless:
Hey there folks...this is kind of a more general internet question, but since I have a wi-fi only Xoom, figured there might be others out there in the same boat.

My Xoom is connected to all kinds of Google services (gmail, reader, calendar, etc.).

If I go to a hotel and connect it to the public wi-fi, how "dangerous" is it?

I'm assuming web surfing on public wi-fi, particularly if entering passwords or account numbers, is likely very dangerous if people are sniffing.

But how dangerous is it to have the general Google services going in the background? Are they all more or less encrypted?

(I know another possible answer is "don't worry about it, because if anybody wants to get your stuff, they'll get your stuff. :) )

Any experiences would be helpful...thank you!

would not worry
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zak Jones!:
Yeah, don't worry about it. You're safe by any reasonable definition of the word.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AHinMaine:
It's extremely dangerous. Even if you have ssl turned on for all your google services, there are far too many other types of attacks that are trivial to pull off on a public wifi. Either don't do it at all, or do it with a vpn. For example, if you have a home wireless router that's capable of openwrt or ddwrt, set it up with ipsec/l2tp vpn and remote into it. Not perfect, but a hell of a lot safer than freeballing on a public wifi.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrushdog:
Tether off your phone or connect to vpn first. Everytime I find an open network first thing I do is...

su
bt5
airmon-ng start wlan1
airodump-ng -w opendump wlan1

But that's just me :cool:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liftman-:
unless you ssl all your packets all the way to their destination, they can be collected on any router they bounce thru and reassembled and analyzed, after they leave your tunnel, they are wide open for inspection.

just like when the government was collecting all them phone calls a few years back,

I would be more concerned from side loading a app or a malicious app from the market.

don't worry about hopping on your friend's router or the router at McDonald's, unless your the james bond type lol

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AHinMaine:
Partially correct, though a naive statement regardless. The whole the-government-can-see-it-no-matter-what-so-why-bother approach may be valid if you're talking about swapping state secrets and plotting against world leaders. It does nothing if you're simply trying to keep your accounts safe from thieves of any sort.

Keep in mind that thieves almost always need people to click links, so they love to start by breaking into people's social accounts. People are much more likely to click a malicious link from a friend than a stranger. So while on the surface it may not seem like a big deal if your facebook account gets hacked, you're letting apathy put every one of the people in your contact list at risk.

[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
I've had my Titan for nearly 5 months now. I am hoping Titan's battery isn't that crap as I think. However, since last 1 week what I've seen is my LED goes green to indicate that my phone is charged. It shows 100% in battery saver menu. However, if I restart my phone while it's plugged in the charger even after green LED, then after the reboot my battery is down to 89-91% mark. Either the battery calibration has gone wonky or the LED doesn't recognise the real battery levels.

It would really help if anyone who charges their phone during the coming week, could restart their phone while plugged in as soon as you see green LED and then see if anything changes in your battery stats?

I've noticed my phone does last an hour or two longer if I charge after this reboot till it's 100%. It could well be a placebo effect for me. But might help if others see the same too. :)
[HTC Titan] ROCOAFZ:
The calibration is a little wacked. Here is my example - i charge it for 5 hours and it says 100%... but it only lasts about 7 hours and i can tell throughout the day that it drains faster. If i charge it for 8 i get closer to 13 with heavy web and game use. At 5 hours it turns green also ... but it seems as though it still charges more when left plugged in longer.

Some apps also like wp7 news clips off about 1 to 2 percent battery everytime i run them. (it brings in feeds from 20 different websites (estimate, i didn't count) so it's worth it but i check it a lot.
[HTC Titan] evolutionqy7:
Could be wrong but as far as im aware that over charge protection. Your phone shouldnt really be charged 100%. 90-95% should be the sweet spot. Generally when i first noticed that i used to restart the phone and charge it to 100% but my battery life actually got less than just letting the phone decide when its enough
[HTC Titan] link68759:
My titan has recently been getting more and more life from the battery; upwards of two days. I turned off wifi and I got 4 days 4 hours, died just some hours ago (I don't game much, but I do listen to music).

I've been getting into the habit of charging it when it gets below 5%, not every night like I used to. So it'll be 30% at night sometimes, and it'll last me another day with light/average usage (as opposed to my previous mindset where anything below 50% is a no go).
[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
It might not work to leave till last 5% especially for someone like me who travels a lot. Don't you fear at times that your phone might faint when you really want to use it? As soon as my phone goes in battery saver mode I plug it in. Maybe that 90% limit as a reason. Over riding it helped me but if I did not over ride the following cycle then my battery performance seemed awful! Very strange working indeed.

Sent from my TITAN X310e using Board Express Pro
[HTC Titan] link68759:
If I plan on using it AND I know I'm going out where there is potentially no USB to charge with, I bring my portable USB battey charger and/or one of my other phones. However, I don't mind not having a phone with me at all times, so if it dies, it dies. Still, I just got it to last 4 days, so if you don't watch videos or play games frequently, charging every three days is unheard of for a smartphone!

The battery's health relies on charging it properly, and I value keeping this up over having it charged when convenient for me. Battery saver kicks in at 20% I think, and with battery saver, you'll get almost another day with light usage, so charging when battery saver turns on is probably really hurting your battery.

I generally unplug my phone when I notice the LED turns green (even if I'm going to bed for the night I'll unplug it). I have never had such amazing battery life with any other phone, but I also have never taken such lengths to improve battery life either.
[HTC Titan] Simmo3D:
Why don't you pick up a brand new HTC Evo 3D battery off eBay or something and use that? Its a 1730mAh battery compared to Titans 1600mAh and works fine in the Titan.
[HTC Titan] kevm14:
Deep discharging a Li-Ion is worse for it than frequent charging. Temperature also is very important and I haven't noticed the battery get hot when sitting on the charger after the light turns green.

the Crown for the moment between cyanolucky-cyanogenmod-smartlucky.

is for Estebansannin and those working on the Dronix project.

and all tribute for porting to the Roman THE ROMA(Italy) Lucky76

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sachintha chaminda:
My device is stable at only 691Mhz.some of our phones are stable at 710 Mhz also.

Overclocking make the phone fast but it make's the phone unstable that is because overclocking a mobile phone isn's sutable.overclocking in a littele range it doesn't matter.

(in pc it has cooling fans so pc processor does not get over heat but phone gets over heated )

you can make the phone stable using some mod in kernal.(I think)

One of my friend did that for his xperia ray,overclocked to a high rate (i dont rember), was using for about two days and he got his phone's processor RIP / K.O.

In the last he had to sell his phone for parts :(
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockyrobin:
I've been reading the thread in the dev forum about the leaked Chinese sbf that is Froyo based but with BL6 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1486731

I was thinking - would this allow a Defy+ owner with either a BL5 or BL6 flashed sbf to flash the chinese BL6 Froyo SBF and then install Quarx Froyo Kernel builds of ICS?

It's been a while since Epsylon's Gingerbread ICS builds have been updated and was wondering if this would be an opportunity for us Defy+ owners to hop onto the Froyo kernel builds. Perhaps even could be the precursor to development of ICS for both the MB525 and MB526 being merged into one build so the dev's can pool together and work on just the one build.

I've only just got my Defy+ so am not well clued up on this- would be grateful for other more experienced owners take on the above before I try and brick my phone!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labsin:
I think you can use this if you haven't flashed a bld 7 rom. Keep in mind that it is a bld 6 rom so you can never flash a bld 5 rom afterward directly. Also, there aren't many people who have tried it No garanty.

But with a defy+ you can always flash a bld 6 defy+ rom if it didn't work.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockyrobin:
I think my Defy+ was last flashed with a BLD5 rom so will have to think carefully if I want to go up to 6 first. I've snagged the Chinese SBF and a Froyo 2.2 CEE Nandroid so will keep an eye on that thread and see what feedback comes of trying this. I did notice one person has already tried this and says their running WIUI which I could never try being on a >=BLD5 rom.

I would like to check what BLD my current ROM has me set at. Is there a way to examine the sbf to find this out? I've tried googling for an answer but am struggling to come up with anything.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labsin:
In settings > about phone you can find the build number.

You can find the links to the threat of you rom here:

Thanks for the heads up on how to find the smg build number.

I split the sbf with http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=550748&d=1300980924 and ran the smg checking script from http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=835336&d=1325246979 against the files and found the last time I flashed my phone I must have already upped my BL to 6.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labsin:
Then you can try the sbf without risk (apart form losing data of course) as you can always just flash your current rom again and you'll be back.

when I Had Windows 6.5 on My HD2 The battery didn't drain so fast

Now I installed NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a NAND and the battery is holding for 1 day standby so it is draining fast What Can I Do ? Is there a better alternative to the NexusHD2 for my Needs i only use the hd2 for few calls and messages and sometimes i browse the internet i don't need alot of apps or stuff. i'm new so i need some explanation :rolleyes: Thanks

Thank You
[HD2 General] Matteo-M:
No Help :(
[HD2 General] Getrid:
Hi Matteo-M,

from what I've read here on the forum the standard clou for getting rid of the battery drainage problem is to format your sd card (

slow format option on the PC!

), because during the reading process your phone keeps hanging on bad formated blocks over and over again - this leads to high battery consumption. Please try the forum search tool next time, there are already a few threads dealing with this topic.

Regards

Getrid

For anyone who doesn't know what Evolve is, it is software that allows you to:

- Talk to players in-game

- Use different chat protocols and talk to players in-game (AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Xfire, Steam, etc)

- Has VOIP and VPN

- And much more

It is geared more for gamers, however, it also has aspects that you can use for business and etc (the VOIP and VPN are quite nice).

Evolve itself also uses the XMPP chat protocol, so it is possible to also chat to your friends and join groups via your smart phone or tablet (I use Xabber from Android Market).

Not sure how many people here are gamers though, but if you haven't used Evolve yet, you should give it a shot, I think you'll be quite impressed :)

Hi GN owners...

As soon as the GSM version is available in the US, I plan on retiring my Nexus S and move up to a Galaxy Nexus. My question is this...does the GN support 5 GHz WiFi via either 802.11n or 802.11a? 2.4 GHz is very crowded at my apartment complex. Of all of the WiFi-enabled devices I have, only my tablet supports 5 GHz. Any future devices I buy will need to have 5 GHz support as well so if the GN doesn't support it, I may get something else.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You're gonna be waiting for a while... there is absolutely no indication of when/if this will happen.

I'd like more confirmation, but my phone has no issue connecting to my university's WiFi when I'm on campus, and all of those access points are 5ghz to my understanding (could be dual band 2.4ghz also I suppose).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I can confirm 5Ghz wifi on the SGN, that is how I connect to my home wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Once Verizon's exclusivity deal runs out, I'd bet money that the GSM version will be available here in short order.

I would almost guarantee they are dual band. I can't see a university forsaking 2.4 GHz considering how little support OEMs offer for 5 GHz at this point.

Hey guys, I've been struggling with this for a while. I am on the 2.3.5 Electrify ROM, so it says that my carrier is U.S. Cellular.

I'm trying to change that so the text says "Sprint".

I have tried almost everything I can think of.

I did an ADB pull of the framework-res.apk, decompiled it, hex edited the eri.xml file (changed out the "U.S. Cellular" with "Sprint "), saved it, recompiled the APK, then pushed that to the phone.

Tried all of the carrier name changing .apks, but none of them work.
