[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9andar:
Which log do you use, PC Companion, SEUS, Flashtool...?

Do you have a CWM recovery ?

If you don't know how (or are afraid) to use flashtool...

You can do that :

1/ Launch SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) HERE

or PC Compagnion HERE

2/ Turn off your phone, remove the battery over 5 seconds, replace it.

3/ Hold the right button (the one with the arrow) and plug your phone on your computer with usb (It calls flashmode)

4/ The green led must be light on and SEUS or PCC recognize your phone...

5/ Now you just have to follow the instructions to install a stock rom.

If it doesn't help, you can use flashtool... A great tuto HERE Thanx to Crowds

With it you can unlocked the bootloader and install a new kernel with CWM recovery inside...

Install a new rom, root your phone... ans so more stuffs...

I hope it helps...

I am having the same problem with my Xperia Neo, i tried to connect my phone to PC Companion and it says. "PC Companion was unable to connect to your phone, please disconnect and connect again"

My phone is just sitting there with the words "Sony Ericsson" flashing on and off, I fear that my phone is bricked but im not 100% sure, if there is anything that can be done please help!!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9andar:
Can you explain more what you're doing ?

Do you did that :

Launch Pc Compagnion

Plug the phone

Mount the sd card

EDIT : Sorry i read too fast your post... Your phone can't turn on you're stuck on the bootlogo of SONY ERICSSON...

Do you plug the phone in flashmode ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afshin_ms:
Some of the custom roms are flashed with xrecovery or cwm,

Now what kind of rom did you want to flash?

Maybe you went wrong that in procedures said "flash the rom".

Put out the battery then put in and turn your device on then restore your previous rom then try again and install(flash) new rom.

Good luck.

Samsung may unveil a 10-inch Galaxy Note later this month

So those pictures of guys holding 10 inch tablets to their head making believe they are making a phone call which look funny may not be so funny after all?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ap3604:
Of course you will have the idiots coming on this thread criticizing it but the main idea of Android holds true regardless... its always nice to have options :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jessejames111981:
from what I read it makes more sense its a galaxy tab 10.1 with the s-pen, maybe slightly upgraded specs depending if this is supposed to be a next gen tab or a step between showing off the s-pen on a tablet which is something I think people will like
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
o yea it will be funny lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] urbanshadow:
I've read rumors about it. At this stage it's just speculations but if it does come out i doubt it will be a phone. Maybe just a 10'' tablet with a stylus. Which in my opinion would be awesome!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mt6272:
Suffice it to say the note 10 inch is announced at MWC this month,

1) What do you think it will be priced at? (unsubsidized)

2) When will it hit the shelves? How long is samsung known to wait between announcing something and releasing it?
[HTC EVO 3D] the258:
As the title states

I an issue with a Evo 3D. A friend brought me his Evo 3D for me to work on.

My friend 'rooted' his Evo3D through some steps up on youtube that claims root for the 1.5 hboot with S-ON. He then later DL Rom Manager and flashed the freEVO ROM. Now its only useful for WIFI, connected media/google talk/phone dialer/contacts do not work, they all say 'Could not launch the requested activity.'. I have tried factory resetting but it resets to the same issue, cant flash any other rom since there is no actual recovery.

Havent messed with the phone at all but now it gives a message when it boots up. System UIDs Inconsistent

UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.

and a 'im feeling lucky' button, then 4 FCs after that.

I have been given some advice on another thread but Im not that knowledgeable when it comes to ADB. I wanted to know if someone on here would be willing to work on this phone, I can ship out and give a donation for their hard work.

Anyone?
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
No need to ship. As long as you know how to start adb your good. Download the twrp 2.0 recovery img. Boot your phone into bootloader. Then select the fastboot option. Flash the recovery img through fastboot(I believe its fastboot flash c:/recovery.img or whatever you named it and where ever its located) and reboot. BOOM you have your recovery. Flash a Rom and get crackalatin'

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byxl:
Hi guys,

I have just successfully installed Cyanogen 7.1 on my Legend. I've been searching a little here and there regarding configurations, clocking & such. Found this very clear guide on how to overclock a Legend:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794829

However, when I navigated to Settings-> CyanogenMod settings-> Performance-> CPU settings

I found a built in option to set both max & min CPU frequency......so I'm wondering, is it still needed to follow the guide I linked or can I overclock the phone by just changing the CPU frequencies in the menu I found?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asovse1:
Yeah, you could do it your way, but with overclocking, you'll be finding yourself switching back and forth often.

Use SetCPU. It's not free on the market, but free for XDA forum users.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byxl:
So I fixed SetCPU on the phone, but I have absolutely no clue how to use it (I'm quite the newb when it comes to this). Is there any guide on how to use the application? Perhaps even for Legend specifically?

Also, is there a point in chaning my kernel version?

Right now, and I never changed it, I have:

2.6.32.17
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyRq:
What's not to understand in SetCPU? Tap autodetect and set your clocks. If you're unable to perform such a task, then don't even try to overclock.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byxl:
There's a whole lot not to understand when seeing the application for the first time. And IF there would be a guide, catching up and understanding the application would go faster.

I'm sure you were new to overclocking at some point aswell cyRq. Or perhaps you're a born OC-genious? :eek:

Anyway, I managed to figure out how to use it.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyRq:
Actually I've had a couple of awards/points on hwbot.org if you're really asking me about OC...

A genius? Not really. But I obtained a magical skill called reading (sometimes I can even write).

But seriously...good to hear that you've managed to figure things out. Good look and don't smoke your phone.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlaY0:
What's wrong with this guide???

Sometimes I wonder what would happen to this society in time. People fortunate enough to have everything at their disposal act as they were blind, def and cripled. Pitty.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byxl:
I thought the purpose of a Q&A section is for dumb people to ask dumb questions? If you don't agree with/can't handle that without spamming question marks & express your fear of future society, then why bother to look in these threads at all?

I never saw the guide you reffered to, and obviously I already knew from the start that there is guides out there. I was asking if any kind soul had the power to link a good one. I could've searched for & found a guide myself, hell I learnt the goddam application without one.

I was asking for a friendly advice is all.

zzzzzzzzzZ(z)

--> oh, & calm down :X cool senior members acting all arrogant, now that's a pitty
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlaY0:
Spam is yours... repeating the same question over and over again. I answered you clear and simple with a link to a guide that has been there since I don't remember how long.

Q&A is definitely not storage for duplicate questions. And I certainly don't see any arogance in my answer which I'm sure will help someone.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byxl:
Alright alright. In the end it comes down to me not wanting to sabotage my phone by lack of experience.

Your post was helpful, however slightly spiced with condescension. But that's alright, my bad for expecting anything else on the internet.

I put "setcpu" into Google's search box and 1st hit was that guide...

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byxl:
Okok, once again I stand corrected.

Don't worry mate, I knew it was a lazy question. And as I wrote earlier; I am aware that there is a whole bunch of guides for setcpu out there. My only thought was that there might be some specific configurations for HTC Legend alone that could be made, and perhaps there would be a guide for that. Which is the reason for why I opened this thread under HTC Legend section in the first place.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daaavey:
I have the Optimus 2X, which seems to struggle playing flash videos that are higher than 480p, yet the Motorola Atrix which also uses the Tegra 2 SoC manages to play 720p flash videos smoothly.

Could this be caused by LG not optimizing the software properly? Would a custom ROM possibly fix this problem?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] askbahar:
I don't think. Flash uses a lot of hardware resources, most probably its a hardware issue.

Still you can try a modified ROM and if not satisfied, revert back to your factory rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daaavey:
That's what I was thinking. But it's weird how the Atrix which has the same CPU and GPU can do it with no problems.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
My LG G2x (almost the same device :p) can play 720p videos smoothly. Are you sure it's not your internet connection at fault?

P.S. - Yes, custom roms are able to improve the performance of devices.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djghost_:
I would consider checking if the actual ROM you are using, isn't messed up (try a clean installation and see if it continues to stutter the videos).

Also managing your apps on your device would improve (in some situations, like too less system memory to finish the rendering <- NOT sure of that one) performance.

Check the background apps - maybe you are running too many background apps, which occupie memory, and in conclusion you have too less memory to work smoothly.

And as it is for your question for the custom ROM and improoved performance - definately YES. For example HTC HD2 with stock rom of WM is way slower than a custom Adroid 2.3 GB on the same device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daaavey:
Yeah I think my internet connection should be good enough.

It's incredibly odd though - over at GSMArena.com they had a 3 phone review featuring the Galaxy S, Galaxy SII and the Optimus 2X, and they found that the Samsungs were both able to handle 720p with no problems (the SII could handle 1080p as well), but the Optimus 2X could only go up to 480p.

This is particularly interesting to me because the Galaxy S should be much weaker than the Optimus 2X in terms of hardware.

I just did an upgrade from 2.2.2 to 2.3.4 through LG, and did a factory reset shortly after.

Perhaps I'll try CM9 after its finalized.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] askbahar:
FYI: There is a problem in the CM9 camera app which does not support video more than 480p for Galaxy SII. I have replaced the camera app with Gingerbread one and solved the problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] infinitemethod:
Not sure if you guys are happy/unhappy with your Sprint service, but they're hiking up the price for shared lines/business accounts. By them doing this, it voids your contract. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

http://nerdtechnics.com/2012/02/sprint-making-price-changes-in-shared-plans/

I am personally jumping ship because of my 3G data has become almost useless in my area. There's been a tower outage for going on 6 months now.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Known this for about a month now. This is how I got out of Sprint last month.

[HTC EVO 3D] infinitemethod:
Did you see it reported somewhere or do you check your account often for those messages at the bottom? I just noticed this last night! This change basically raises my account balance about $25!
[HTC EVO 3D] fsalazar504:
I've been thinking for a while now of jumping ship but im curious what plans you guys found out there that are comparable to sprints data plans? I was looking into verizon and found that I would pay almost $40 bucks higher for some of their plans similar to my sprints unlimited data plans. God, these carriers are getting ridiculous with the plan hikes...
[HTC EVO 3D] infinitemethod:
Not sure how much data you use, sounds like a lot, but Verizon is currently doing, instead of 2GB of data for $30, their doing 4GB for $30. I am about to port my numbers to Verizon.

Using Amazon Wireless I can get 3 Galaxy Nexus' and 2 Thunderbolts for a total of $299.99 out the door. And the plan is the exact same that I have with Sprint, 700 shared min., unlimited text, $30 each line for 4GB of data for $279.99/month, just about what I was paying for Sprint's. Of course Verizon isn't unlimited, but I'll gladly take that over their ****ty network in my area.
[HTC EVO 3D] kellybrf:
how are you paying $280 at sprint? 5 lines with 1500 shared and unlimited everything is only $220

as for the op, unless theyre making a second change this shouldnt be a way to get out of your contract. the price remains the same, but instead of $130/$0 for the first two lines it is now $110/$20. for those with nvp discounts that will result in a small loss, but keep in mind nvp is not part of your contract and those rates are subject to change anyway. as always people will complain enough and some will get out of contract, but sprint has no responsibility to let you out.
[HTC EVO 3D] notasimpleway:
Did you get out of your contract because of this change?

Has anyone else? I'm about to call if so.

You're correct about it not being much different, but I've spoken with a retention rep. and they said this change does void my contract. They changed the pricing of the original plan I have and also changed the pricing on Line 2 which was free previously. Reguardless if my account stays the same pricing wise, they can't change the pricing of a plan and/or line without it voiding contract. You just have to notify them within 30 days of said change to be able to opt out of ETF fees.

Tell them you aren't happy that they changed the pricing on your plan and line 2. That's what I said and it worked for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
"Due to recent material changes in the contract which would make me pay extra monthly, I'd like to ask that you cancel my contract and get out without early termination fees."

Be nice since they are human too, and I guarantee you that they will be nice back with smooth sailing.

Oh and to answer the OP and other's questions...

My info: http://slickdeals.net/f/3839688-SPRINT-Changing-T-C-again-Feb-2012-Get-out-of-Contract-ETF-free

They've been wanting to do it since last month, and it's this month that they are making the changes. If they tell you that you will not be affected, just hang up and try again because that is 100% false, those who are getting discounts on the first line WILL be affected.
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
Thank you guys :-) if we cancel the plan are the phones unusable after we do this?
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Nope, they are yours to keep since you are no longer under the contract for the phones. Since they waive the ETFs on your lines, they are yours to use or sell...

I sold my EVO 3D in a heartbeat since prices are quickly falling...lol
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
Who did you go with?
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
I just got off the phone with sprint. Basically there is no price increase for the plan. The family plan is decreasing $20 therefore compensating for the $20 for the second line. The only increase is if you have a discount and it will no longer apply to the 2nd phone. I did confirm with the rep that this does void the contract and we would be able to get out without paying the ETF's. I really don't have much problems with Sprint except the decrease in 3G speeds with the evo 3d. Going to look at prices at Verizon and might witch to the Galaxy Nexus.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

Just curious, if I choose to cancel, how would I go about porting my number to a different carrier? If they cancel my lines, you are no longer able to port the numbers.
[HTC EVO 3D] infinitemethod:
If you do end up switching, the Galaxy Nexus is $99.99 from Amazon Wireless instead of $299.99 through a Verizon Store/Online.
[HTC EVO 3D] infinitemethod:
You just call Sprint to make sure that your lines have the EFT's off them and are ready to port. I just did this and once the numbers have been ported, your Sprint contract is cancelled from that point.
[HTC EVO 3D] hajalie24:
When would be the last day to do this? I don't want to get locked into a new contract for 2 years when quad core phones are around the corner...
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
The guy on the phone told me I have until 3/15. I'm looking in verizon now. Might get 2 Galaxy Nexus from Amazon.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
I went with T-Mobile and rocking my entire family with Android phones while paying $20 dollars less a month.

Since the EVO 3D, I switched to the Galaxy SII and have no regret whatsoever.

This is the average speeds I get here in my small town where if I was on Sprint, I'd be lucky to get 300kbps...if I go to populated towns then my speeds are 10mbps on average and thats not even the 42mbps hspa+ enabled.
[HTC EVO 3D] infinitemethod:
Wow, can't wait to be done with Sprint! Finally get some decent data usage going.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Check this coverage map.

http://compass.t-mobile.com/Default.aspx

Say no when it prompts you if you are a Representative. This is a more comprehensive map that is accurate. If your town is deep magenta colored, then most likely you'll be in good hands.

EDIT: Since it states that you are in Lansing (Not too far from me actually about 2 hours away lol) and it looks like you'll get waaaaay better data speeds then me. I've never seen so much dark magenta around a city.

And shop around, I went with T-Mobile since I was getting the most bang for my buck when I could've easily with went AT&T or Verizon.
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
I was just speaking to a verizon rep and they told me that if you go through Amazon, you lock yourself into 2 contracts and 2 ETF's. 1 from Amazon and 1 from Verizon. Is this true?
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
That's if you cancel your Verizon service before a certain period. Amazon will charge you a ETF if you get out of your contract before 6 months I think. Don't quote me on it though, since it is coming from memory.
[HTC EVO 3D] bee976:
If i have 4 lines will they cancel the ETFs on all 4 lines?
[HTC EVO 3D] infinitemethod:
Not sure if this is true or not and I honestly don't care because Verizon has amazing 3G and 4G speeds in my area and that is my main reason for wanting out of Sprint. They're having terrible time with the upkeep of their towers and just lack of getting anything rolling on the LTE front, I am sick of paying $10 premium data on 5 phones per month with nothing to show for it.

And I am also ok with that because I can get 3 Nexus' for $300 dollars instead of $900 through Verizon. I was with Sprint for a decade, I don't plan on leaving Verizon for years.
[HTC EVO 3D] infinitemethod:
As long as you have a family/business shared plan, then yes they will. From what I was told, anything involving changing of the plan whatsoever on Sprint's end, voids the contract for 30 days. The problem is they're very subtle and shady about letting people know. Thank god for this forum and the internet for allowing me to find out that information. I would've never seen it at the very bottom of my Sprint bill.
[HTC EVO 3D] notasimpleway:
Think they will let me "fulfill" my contract and go month to month? I am hoping Sprint gets their $$%^ together soon and data speeds go back up so I don't want to leave them just yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
I wouldn't count on it. Most people who went through this said the representative did NOT allow them to go month to month basis. You can always ask though no harm in doing that except rejection. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] infinitemethod:
Oh man, thanks for showing me this. I've just been focusing on Verizon since I know their LTE is pretty strong in Lansing. Will have to do some more research!
[HTC EVO 3D] infinitemethod:
I was just curious for people that have ported over numbers from one carrier to another.... I've never done this. I contacted Sprint to make sure that the EFT's were waived, so we're good on that front.

So say I order those 5 phone's from Amazon with the plan and what not. Are the numbers already ported, do I have to wait until the phones get here, call Verizon and port, or do I have to go into a Verizon Store? Appreciate the help!
[HTC EVO 3D] ozzie1p:
What's the chances that you can get out of the contract and go month to month? Or do you have to completely remove service. I'd like to go t-mobile but want to wait to see what comes out this summer.
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
As already mentioned, you have 30 days to cancel.
[HTC EVO 3D] infinitemethod:
I believe they give you a cut off date to port your numbers over. If you don't port by whatever date, then I think you're back into your contract. Someone chime in if I am wrong!
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
People don't seem to realize that for Sprint to make their services better, it needs to make more money.

So for everyone that leaves saying that they'll come back after Sprint pulls it together, they're just making the problem even worse. Without realizing it.
[HTC EVO 3D] infinitemethod:
I do agree, however, they've been draining me of $10 dollar premium data charges on 5 lines for 2 years. My area has only gotten worse, especially with the release of the iPhone 4S. I am sick of paying for something that doesn't exist and the way things have been going, will more than likely never exist.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Oh well, that's how capitalism works more or less. I have no loyalties or sympathy for companies since in the end, they just care about my money.
