[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaneshir0:
For those who are familiar with CM7 or have done the process on an ARC

I'm stuck where i got fastboot installed... i've launched the command "fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img"

Now is just pending > < waiting for device >

I've plugged my device prior to launchingthe command as recommended in the CM7 Guide for Xperia Arc

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Arc:_Full_Update_Guide

but i dont know why it wont recognize it or kick in.

My Arc's bootloader has been unlocked (thx to alejandrissimo)

I need some guide here please.

Thank you all for your time ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beranchoi:
put cm7 kernel in fastboot folder then press open comand prom here type fastbot flash boot bot.img
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRoot:
I have tried that problem too... I tried it on another computer and then it worked... Make sure you have the right drivers which are modified :-)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaneshir0:
modified drivers? is it possible to send me a link to this?

thanks Den
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaneshir0:
So i got the drivers ....

everything is working..but.....

its looping now.... gets to the screen to ask you to touch the android icon to continue..but no reaction.

this is the stable zip i'm using .> update-cm-7.1.0.2-XperiaArc-LT15i-signed.zip

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=anzu

any ideas?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiker122:
I am no expert in this subject - but had a similar issue when I flashed CM7 a couple of months ago.

Had the same loop on "touch android" screen, but for some odd reason I had luck flashing the .1 stable ROM, which worked perfectly fine.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaneshir0:
Thanks Stiker...

but i found that the .1 is stable ..but did you have the lower keyboard problem?

i've also encountered the loosing signal problem too :(

did you get them working? if so, could y ou possibly tell me?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiker122:
I used the ROM for about a week or so, and did not encounter any problems, neither with signal or keyboard.

As far as the keyboard goes, have you tried installing other keyboards on the device?

I don't know what might be causing the signal loss problem - is the phone running in GSM only mode?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaneshir0:
update >>

uploaded CM 7102 successfully on a rogers ARC....(unlocked bootloader of course)

thank you all ....

Hey guys, Im looking for a way to make the phone not wake up when the keyboard is open. I am very fidgety, and open and close the keyboard in my pocket, then I find numerous apps open and/or placing unintended calls. What can I do to make the device not wake up when I slide out the keyboard?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gattman:
The only way I've found is to turn on a pin or pattern lock in the security settings.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] qtipextra:
Yeah that's the only thing I have found too. I wish I could just disable it completely though. Not to mention battery drain when the screen is turned on. Plus, I like to be able to access my device quickly, and passwords or pattern locks don't exactly help that out haha.

I followed all the direction in the sticky from developmentand made sure to make a backup of my stock Rom so that I could always get back to something stable and guess what....it wouldn't boot.

I was running WC's 3.5 Rom and need to get back to stock. Didn't work. Tried a couple times and now I flashed

Wc again just to get my phone booted. Any ideas?

You need to flash the stock kernel in fastboot.

Can you guys suggest me a free outgoing call blocker for my phone? I need it specially for the accidentally dialled numbers by kids.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Willanhanyard:
I have heard people say the pentile screens make edges look jagged etc. Is this true? I mean at something like 280+ppi I wouldn't think it would look jagged at all! Is it true?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
It varies by device. I've not used a Note, but it should be similar to a Galaxy Nexus. The colors are visibly greener than the Super AMOLED+ (non-pentile) displays I've used, but the Nexus at least does not have the jagged edge issues that appear on the RAZR and some of the other qHD displays I've used. I don't know if it's because of the higher resolution/pixel density or some other property of the subpixel matrix, but I've never heard that particular criticism of a Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
Not at this PPI.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kotaro_14:
Agreed, only of you zoom in super super close on text.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
Also something to keep in mind is that pentile offers better outdoor performance and battery life
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ap3604:
Just so I know, why is that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] emcnelly:
For the same reason people say it looks "bad" because it has less sub pixels so it will use less power. Though at this pixel density you would have to have a microscope because on my captivate you would have to be viewing red on black and be obnoxiously close to see it. Also it has better outdoor visibility because it can I believe get brighter then non pentile displays. For more info Google is amazing. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hausman:
I have PenTile on my Photon 4G and while I can certainly see it, it doesn't bother me. When the brightness is turned way up you notice it more. I agree that at 1280x800 on a 5.3" display you're not going to notice it.

As others noted, PenTile RGBW has the advantage of offering more brightness for less power (due to the "W", I believe?) but it depends on the screen. The Droid 4 is PenTile, yet it is significantly darker than my Photon 4G (also PenTile) - both are Moto phones, so I was surprised by that difference. The Photon has the brightest, most outdoor-readable display (non-reflective) I have ever seen.

I can't recall reading anything other than "awesome" to describe the Note screen, though, so I think there's nothing to worry about here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
The brightness of a LCD screen (almost all Moto Droid phones are PenTile LCD) is determined by the backlite light source, not the screen pixel layout. To LCD screens, the power usage is constant regardless of the screen pixels on of off unless you can also turn the backlite light down.

AMOLED doesn't have a backlite light source. It depends on each pixels to emit light itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
Yeah, I forgot that there are multiple PenTile layouts. Most Moto phones are RGBW, while the Note screen is RGBG, so it doesn't have the same outdoor visibility/brightness advantage.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] maddog986:
How about a positive thread with no flames please :)

I can not wait for custom roms once we get a boot unlocker tool. All my Android devices are running some sort of custom rom that makes the system so much more smoother and optimized. To many companies these days are adding to much bloatware and tracking that just slows everything down.

I love my Prime and i cant imagine how much better it will get. With a great developer (or team) im sure they can add features that we all wish for everyday.

Wooohooo! Go Prime! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] XHolyPuffX:
Indeed..and we'll be able to fix any crazy bugs ourselves.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] THunDA:
Hell yea! I can't wait too.. its so freaking fast stock.. I can only imagine what it will be like when some of the talented devs on here get to cooking for it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cmotion:
Hells yes! Anybody know of any devs who either have a Prime or have stated interest developing once the bootloader is unlocked?

I have been running scotts rom for a while, but I just shattered my screen on my E3D yesterday. When I receive my new one tomorrow I will try out his rom. I am hoping that it doesn't come with the Hboot 1.5, I declined it being activated on arrival to help alleviate it. I am on it right now and it sucks to flash stuff. I hate being tethered to a PC to do anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] josuetenista:
I think the Prime has a lot of potential. I actually own a Xoom and a Prime and the xoom sometimes is much smoother than the prime because it's running a custom rom and kernel (overclocke to 1.5ghz) and still has great battery. I think the devs could fix all the transformer prime bugs very easy
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jahmelm:
[Edit] so what do i need to replace within my phone in order to make it so that the phone doesnt burn out the batteries? Please help :(

So about a week ago my original stock battery started draining excessively, i thought that since i had it for more than a year that it was normal. So i went online and bought a new one from amazon.

When the new one got here i could tell it was a fake, but it was cheap so i didn't complain and it got mostly positive reviews so i just went with it. not even a week with the battery and it failed just like my old one.

One thing i noticed was on bother batteries it had gotten a small smudge/burned looking mark on the golden rectangular connectors. Is this a normal mark, does anyone else have it?

Any advice would be great, I dont want to go out and buy a new battery if it's my phone thats the problem. (btw im also using the stock charger)

I also have tried other chargers, complete wipes, changing roms, all failed. And if the phone ever does turn on its only to cwm recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blahbl4hblah:
When you got the new battery did you let it drain then charge it over night?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jahmelm:
no, when i got the new battery, i didnt charge it for the first day, it was around 80 percent in the morning. i charged it as soon as it was at around 20 percent later that day.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blahbl4hblah:
Try to calibrate it, drain it all the way to the point it doesn't charge then charge it while the phone is off for 8 hours then go into recovery and wipe battery stats and then reboot phone. Keep doing it for a few times
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jahmelm:
Alright i'll leave it charging tonight, i actually have it charging right now, its blinking orange as usual when it has no power.

Btw i didnt mention this, before it died when ever it was charging it would show that it;s charging but go down as if it wasnt being charged. then when disconnected it'll just die.

And do you mind to check to see if ur battery's golden rectangular ports on the bottom look burned? both of my batteries are like that. (btw when plugged in tha battery doesnt get hot)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jahmelm:
Sorry to bump, but considering that the phone is burning out the batteries (the above advice didnt work, i tried to delete the battery stats but phone shut down and wont boot up any longer) what parts would i need to replace to make the phone not burn out the battery?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android_Monsters:
Take it to a cell phone repair store and get an analysis. If you decide to get it repaired there they take the analysis fee out of the total
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android_Monsters:
I got mine fixed for 70 total with a new battery. It was playing golf with me in pouring rain

Thanks haha, i was thinking of doing it myself for the learning experience, but i guess that'll be the best thing to do instead of potentially messing up my phone by trying it myself. xP

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamachoInc:
I recently flashed	[ROM][ICS] Team Eos ICS 1.0.0 yesterday and did not have any problems till today. I dont know why but now when I turn on my Xoom I have this message (Encryption Unsuccessful; Encryption was interrupted and cant complete. As a result, the data on your tablet is no longer accessible. To resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset. When you set up your tablet after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account.).... I clicked the reset button on that screen and tab restarted and right back to that message. I went into recovery and did a full wipe and restarted again but still same message. I went back to recovery and try to do a restore and this message (E: Can't mount /sdcard) same message comes up if i try to go to Install zip from sdcard. Someone Please Help me. I don't know what else to do.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStickMan:
Go back to step 1, and try again. Your data is gone anyway, you have nothing to lose.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamachoInc:
I've done over and over again. Still the same.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStickMan:
What was your step 1? I'm saying, flash the recovery honeycomb ROM's from motorola.

This flashes over everything.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmeyal:
Hi,

I Have the same Problem.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llama-power:
well, since all your data is most likely lost, I'd just restart from scratch. I wouldn't flash a stock rom though, I'd just try to do the "fastboot oem unlock" again (as well as everything afterwards: install cwm, root, flash rom). I've been told that "fastboot oem unlock" will do one hell of a job resetting your xoom;-)

also, do you guys have an sdcard inserted into your xoom when you start CWM? If it says it can't mount /sdcard within cwm, it's talking about the sdcard, not about the internal storage which is being mounted as /sdcard when you boot your xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmeyal:
Hi

Yes, I have an sdcard inside. the recovery is clockworkmod v4.0.0.4.

When i tried to apply update from sd card i get the error "e:cant mount /sdcard/update.zip

maybe i need to install a new recovery again?

Xoom Issue

I have been running fine on an ICS ROM for quite a while. Yesterday I took out my normal SD card and put another one in to get some pictures off of it. When I got the card seated smoke started coming out of that area on the Xoom. I was able to eject the card and get it out. I powered the Xoom off instantly in case something was going on. I am able to power it back up at this time but I'm sure I will have to send it into Motorola now. It is still under warranty. Is there anyway to get back to stock without using an SD card?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmeyal:
OK guys

I FIX IT!!

the steps are.

1. install ADB tools

2. start the xoom into recovery

3. fallow the thread "[Root] Universal Xoom Root - ANY XOOM ANY UPDATE"

here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242241

4. do all the steps again (even if your xoom is rooting and have an open bootolader.)

5. reboot and...you have the SDcard working again.

6. from here' its easy..

have a good luck
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshhendry:
Now if someone can figure this out for me without being able to use the SD card slot it would be great. I can't put an SD card in my Xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llama-power:
are you sure you wrecked your sd card slot and not your sd-card? does that card still work in other devices like your computer?

there should be a way to revert to stock using rsd lite (a motorola tool to flash the device) and a .sbf-file (that's an image with the original firmware), but the links i've found so far are dead:-(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshhendry:
Yeah I'm sure it is the SD slot. It started smoking and I had to eject the card out. I'm not brave enought to try another SD card in it.

As for RSD Lite I have used it many times with my Droid X so I know exactly what you are talking about. I was just assuming that the Xoom would work differently even though it is Motorola also.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjamocha:
First did your try to Encrypt a Custom ROM? It won't work, as it only encrypts with the stock goo in it. Second ... did you flash the correct ROM for your Device? If it was the wrong ROM, the right ROM might be an easy fix. Try to install CWM again maybe it got corrupted then try run restore. Anywho -

Hope you have a Backup - Lock BootLoader, Unroot, .... will return you to stock, then Unlock BootLoader - Reroot & start fresh and put all of your goodies back. ;)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llama-power:
Just try the SD card that was in your xoom in another device. I'd first look if it looks burnt, if it doesn't, put it into a cheap uSD-Card-Reader and plug that one into a cheap usb-charger (so to not wreck my computer;)) and if that doesn't explode, I'd plug that sd-card-reader into my pc to see if it works.

Yes, RSD lite should work with the xoom exactly as with your Droid X. Problem is just that you need the matching .sbf-file

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sang0ku999:
So I wanted to give my opinion of what is the best Rom I have tested so far,

I have the Hardware .10 of the CMDA Galaxy nexus.

I pretty much tried all the roms - and a few different kernals, and the top performing rom for battery life and speed were

GummyNex 7.6

was always the best for me

than I would say Codename was a hair behind it in performance.

and

Kang and Miuis were just not my dig for me.

Now this new rom came out and Called Darkside 1.1v and im acctually really impressed it seems to be even faster than gummynex, and better battery life.

only negitives I have to say about it, it has far alot less options to play around with than all the other roms, so you have to live with what it comes with. But so far I would really recommend Darkside 1.1v if you any of you are looking for something that works really well without the tweaking Id say give it a whirl. :)
