[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blackkzero:
the first time that this happens to me, I uninstall some memory hungry apps, like stock email and others. Then, I disable the most things that I don't use normally, like gps, and set the brightness to lower levels. And finally, charge the battery to 100% and clean the stats. If all this fails, try to install from scratch (full charge > stock rom > custom kernel > full wipe > custom rom > full charge > clean battery stats). I don't if is correct, but this works in my case. Hope it helps :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] arief.satriyo:
I experience the same problem too, only worst the battery drained up to 0,5% /minute everytime 3G (HSDPA) connection is used. I already make full wipe of battery stats too.

As I remember this problem never occur when using stock kernel 2.1.A.0.6, but I do notice there is notable improvement of 3G performance using NAA kernel 2.1.9

So It can be safely assumed that the reason of the battery drain is caused by the use of 3G in NAA kernel which consume more power (albeit with better 3G performance)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterJoefus:
I recently rooted my kindle fire using KFU .9, at which point the kindle rebooted, but it was stuck on the yellow-fire-triangle screen. Via the KFU, I changed the boot mode to fast reboot, and now the kindle just reboots over and over whenever it's attached to the computer. This happens so fast, the computer cannot recognize it so I cannot seem to fix the problem.

Please help!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiddlefaddle:
Try booting into TWRP... the computer should recognize it then.. if the computer does not then uninstall your device drivers in computer management and reinstall them... KFU should recognise your fire then... tell your kindle to reboot in normal mode using KFU.. this worked for me. Hope it helps you.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterJoefus:
The kindle isn't connected to the computer long enough for it to be recognized, so I can't update the drivers. Also, I can't boot into TWRP because the device is constantly turning on and shutting off.

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

*NOTE*

while the kindle is constantly restarting, I am sometimes able to get the power button to turn from green to orange, as if it were going to boot to TWRP, but then the cycle continues. I don't know if this is helpful.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluesHawk:
Connect your kindle and use install_drivers.bat to make sure your drivers are updated. You won't be able to see your kindle in device manager most likely when it's stuck in fastboot. Next, Start up KFU and go to bootmode and select normal. When KFU is waiting for your device perform a hard reset (hold power for 30 seconds). This should kick your kindle into normal bootmode. This method worked for me when I was stuck in a fastboot loop trying to install TWRP the first time so hopefully it helps you
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterJoefus:
When I try to install the drivers, the install wizard says I have the most up-to-date drivers, but windows said the drivers couldn't be installed because the device was unplugged.

I tried to use KFU anyway and hold the power button for 30 seconds, but the device kept booting in the mean time and KFU was unable to find the device.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Justin:
When you install the driver, pick the driver located in the KFU folder under drivers>kindle
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b63:
when it is booting every 3-5 sec then it is most likely that the battery is down

I have had the kindle plugged into the wall for a few hours, but when it's connected to the wall charger, it continues to constantly reboot. I suppose I can let it charge for a few hours and see if that helps

I use Zeam launcher and i notice is very unpopular, in my opinion is pretty great. Is very minimal, only the essentials and although simplistic it looks beautiful. With an ICS theme or rom it looks in my opinion perfect, I encourage it.

Not sure why you needed to make changes to settings.db. I grabbed the latest tether apk from here and, once rooted with the new method on .902, wifi tether just worked. No other changes were needed.

Whats the difference between Lightning Zap, Adrenaline Shot and Thunderbolt tweaks? What do they really do? Which one is better? Ain't ROM's snappy enough? Why would you flash any of these tweaks? Can you use them all together, I mean since they are there, the three combined must to the holy-smoking-hot-too-fast-snappy-as-hell phone... you get my point...? Thanks for any response.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
The scripts are all pretty much the same. It's the values that have been changed to suit our, and many others, preferences. Each tweak set performs different things such as, set cpu thresh hold, power saving, smooth and responsiveness, mounts/remounts, tcp enhancements, clean up processes, and many more. They are all a matter of preference depending on what you do as the end user. But all are designed with the thought in mind, "How can I make this phone better?" Thunderbolt is a universal tweak, meaning it works on most phones, where as me a dsexton designed our scripts to work with the sgs4g foremost. Although, dsexton has his univerrsal scripts for most other phones, I stick strickly to the sgs4g; however, I have had many people with other devices, install Lightning Zap with no issues and report back amazing results.

Here is some guidance to push the .apk. It tells you how to do it using Super Manager.

The directions are telling you to rename the current .apk just in case (JIC) something goes wrong with the new .apk, you can delete the new .apk you pushed and name the old .apk to it's original name and use.

I can answer this one

FB are my initials.

In hexadecimal notation you can use numbers and the letters a b c d e and f. If you convert the hexadecimal number "FB" to decimal notation you get 251.

So,

FB = 251

FB is 251

You can try converting numbers here:

Try typing "FB" in the hexadecimal box and click convert.

stupid questions go here, right?

so, I know there's a very good reason and I could start by reading the kernel dev guide that raverx3x and fbis251 have posted, but i'm hoping someone can just lay the answer out for me: why is BLN hard to add to existing kernel source? I've been sticking with froyo, with my only real reason being that I am reliant upon bln to stop me from compulsively checking my phone like an asshole.... just wondering what the difficulties are--i know if it were simple, it'd be done, but i'd rather have a complicated answer than no idea whatsoever ;x My thanks in advance to all you good folks at XDA who are knowledgeable, friendly, and qualified to answer this and every other question :)

I haven't found a good patch to look at yet since we'd need other parts of vooodoo to have BLN support.

sign an update.zip

Hi all. Way back in the day, we a problem on our sgs4g where we couldn't flahs an update.zip because it failed to verify signature. Well, it has come back to haunt me on my fancy new POS sony tablet s. (I have tried getting help in th sony tab s forum btw, with no luck). They say the kernel we have is unrootable because nobody can figure out the exploit. Since kernels are a bit above my level, I wrote a flashing script. The problem is, I cannot sign the update.zip I made. Can anyone here offer some assistance.

FYI, as usual sony has a crazy encryption on their OTA flashable updates, but someone has manage to decrypt it. I cannot flash any OTA updates as they are numbered in the build.prop (I have the latest honeycomb (3.2.1 release 2)update so I cannot update my device and downgrading is not possible without root).

Samsung Stratosphere 4G Am I really rooted?

Hi All, basically my stupid question is just as the title suggests. Is my phone really rooted? I have the Superuser app there, but everytime I try to use an app that requires root priveleges, I get a not enough privileges error! The apps I have tried are Titanium Backup and ROM Manager and Barnacle Wifi Tether. Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks in advance....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Go to the market and search for 'Root Checker Basic'. That will be able to tell you for sure if you are rooted. Having Superuser I would assume so.

Go to Market, hit menu My Apps, select Superuser and see if it needs an update. Then you can go into the Superuser app, hit menu, then Preferences, scroll to the bottom and verify you have the latest version - Superuser v3.07 (41). Also verify your Su binary is v3.0.3.2.

Lastly, do you have BusyBox installed? One way to check is to go to Market, search for 'BusyBox' by Stephen (Stericson) and download. It will tell you if you have BusyBox and whether there is a more current version available, and if so, update your version for you.

See if any of that helps and let us know.

EDIT: Ooops! Samsung Stratosphere 4G? This is the Samsung Galaxy S 4G Forum. Though those suggestions may help.

Thankfully, I can recover with the Heimdall one-click found here. However, I really need to get rid of whatever is chewing through my battery life.

I have no trouble at all flashing via Heimdall (I'm aware that Odin and Heimdall are mutually exclusive) so it's a little bit of a pain to reset everything to give Odin a turn to fix things. But it would be totally worth it to get the gremlin remover to work.

Also is there a fully working ICS for SG4G... I asked the tmobile employee when it will be available he didnt know when exactly an official OTA will be made available, although he did mention something about Jellybean being the next update after ICS...

There are clear directions to root, ROM recommendations and more if you follow the first link in my signature.

No ICS yet. You could have found that by search and seeing others getting flamed for asking - it has been asked over and over.

Best ROM is really subjective. Some are more stable than others and the more stable GB ROM's are included in the guide.

Heres a question:

In ODIN, what does the reformat option do?

Why do you say not to ever check it, and in what situation WOULD you want to use it?

If were trying to remove all gremlins from our phone, why wouldn't we use this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Do you mean "Re-partition"? That will completely wipe your phone. If you don't include the pit file (from my understanding) your phone will be HARD BRICKED.

I am not sure how it re-partitions your phone (what format). But I know our SGS4G has a fwe partitions of it's own. If you have the unbrickable mod or a riff box, try checking it the next time you use it (don't foget to include the pit) and let us know what happened... Or just use 1-Click Gremlin Remover and all those pesky little varmits will be gone!lol

Yes sorry, I meant the repartition box. So if we have the pit file, why not repartition?
