[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr3ach3r777:
i try to unlock my bootloader with this Automatic bootloader UNLOCK/ROOT for AT&T 1.26/1.57/1.83/4.5.91 [UPDATE 07/31/11] i found in the tread now i get fail to boot 0x1000 SVF 105:1:2 how can i go back to stock 2.3.6 help me please .i can still get into fast boot. my phone was on 2.3.6/ 4.5.141 when i try to unlock the bootloader with this method
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheeparecurious:
It sounds like Nottach ran into a similar problem when unlocking his:

He tried holding the power + volume up buttons WHILE inserting the battery, and the hardware gods smiled & the phone booted into fastboot to finish the unlock procedure.

On edit: You say you now have fastboot access? So long as that's true, it's not a "hard brick" yet. If you haven't finished unlocking the bootloader, the next step is to issue the "fastboot oem unlock" command & finish it out. I do believe you'll have to flash a fruitcake or another rom to get your phone back and functional.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
I switched from a Galaxy S II and the browser on it was super smooth like the iPhone. Now that I have the Galaxy Nexus I'm noticing it's laggy and stuttery at times with both the stock and Chrome browser. I'm on the GSM model and have hardware acceleration checked in the developer settings. I am running the Android Revolution HD 2.1.5 Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adreno:
It is h/a browsing on the Galaxy Nexus. Use a different ROM and if its not a ROM issue you have a defective unit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stellar:
Just bumped into this thread through XDA app, I don't have a GNex but I'm using ICS on my NS4G and I'm pretty sure it is what it is, no way to get around the stutters every now and then. I think the browsers awesome coming from stock gingerbread but just my opinion.

Maybe a future update will optimize the browser more but who knows lol

PS: its not that your phone is defective, its a software issue and if

flashing different ROMS doesn't fix the stutters or lag then it just assures that its how ICS's browser works :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
The GN is the first android phone that has hardware accelerated browser, aside from the galaxy s1 and s2 custom jobs by samsung. In fairness the GN does show the new tile method, and it is silky smooth because of it on most websites. But yes it does stutter on a few sites. But its worlds better with the new hardware acceleration than prior.

Chrome though was laggy for me so i dont use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
Don't use Android Revolution. The browser speed is much improved in 4.0.3.

I came from a SGS2 and the browser in 4.0.3 is just as good. Doesn't have the same bouncy pinch to zoom but 'meh'.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
Ok thanks. What rom would you recommend?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thracks:
AOKP.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
Yes there is GPU acceleration in stock.

Setting > developer options> Force GPU rendering

There COULD BE some problems with certain apps but I have encountered none. Btw, running stock 4.02 here and there's no lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JFMFT:
Keep in mind the sheer pixels this phone is pushing. Based on the specific implementation Android 4.0 uses for hardware acceleration across the entire OS (and any 3rd party apps that support it), I am wholly convinced that the phone's slow (relatively speaking) GPU is at fault here. The CPU is plenty fast, but the GPS is a bit of a slouch compared to other SoC's GPUs.

I'm sure a phone with an OMAP 4470, or late this year/early 2013 with OMAP 5xxx (or Krait processors or Tegra 4 "Wayne") would be virtually lag-free because of the huge bump all of those processors have in their GPUs. Just an educated guess, though. Pushing a 720p resolution is hard work, even when lots of the work is offloaded to the GPU.

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

Also, FWIW, I have no lag or issues in my browser (Chrome for Android 4.0+), and my phone is not overclocked (the GPU is, though).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
Thanks for your input. If the iPhone 4 is able to scroll smoothly then so should the GN. It's smooth but there shouldn't be any jerkiness for a Google flagship phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkeypaws:
So would you guys recommend chrome beta over say maxthon browser or stock? Sorry I'm new to gnex community.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
The stock browser is GPU accelerated by default.

People compare all browsers to the one in iOS, yet never consider to take Flash off. iOS browser with Flash would chug, I am sure of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Not needed for browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
I have plug-ins set to "on demand".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] philipdeane:
Try turning off Force GPU rendering, browsing feels smoother to me on stock 4.0.2 with it off.

If both browsers are already hw accelerated, I would imagine turning it off saves a little bit of memory.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
Take your iphone open the browser and enter engadget.com and while it loads press your finger on the screen and hold it for about a minute or two... Ideally try to scroll the webpage while it loads. In the meantime do the same on your galaxy nexus and see which 1 will load the webpage faster. Iphone is storing everything in the memory that's why it is so smooth. However, because Iphone has to store this in a memory any other actions that will interrupt this process will make iphone unable to load the page. There was an explanation somewhere on the Internet how hardware acceleration is working on iphone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You also have issues with sites I do not, per your other thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
What rom and kernel are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
We have a team rom in testing, with a basic overclocked kernel I built. But I can tell you that we have not dropped any unicorns into the kernel or rom that would boost this kind of performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dailycupofjoe:
My flash is set on demand and its still stuttery compared to my old iPhone 4/iPad. Not sure what you're talking about.

Are there any optimized browsers that work flawlessly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Well I don't have stuttering, so I don't know what you are talking about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
both stock and chrome are smooth as hell for me....im on aokp 25....my browser also blows away my friend's iPhone4S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
What kernal are you using? Are you using nova launcher or the stock launcher?

Does Spare Parts (from the Market) show anything useful, Partial Wakelocks.
[HTC Sensation] dobah:
There is something you can try.

reboot your phone just to have a starting point

open terminal or adb and run the following command:

logcat | grep -i wakelock > /sdcard/wakelock.txt &

This will keep running until you kill the command or reboot your phone so remember to kill it. Below is a sample of my logcat with wakelock.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
Ok so how long do u have to see some good battery im on my 3rd charge and its been lasting me 6 to 7 hours but i have only text and some surf and a bit of gaming i am on the latest stock rom rooted and i have hotspot hack and sprint boot that i installed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cpcormier3:
That's pretty terrible even if it's not conditioned yet. Especially because it sounds like you have only light use. You may want to take it back and replace the battery. Either that or you're in an area with terrible signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
No i have full bars
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Did you let the battery completely drain and then charge to 100% after you bought your phone?

Sent from The iPhone killer, Epic 4G Touch using XDA premium.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
I let it drain and did full charge but i charge it while it was on
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nebbeh:
Take it back and get a new one. I just bought one on friday and even with heavy use my battery has lasted 20+ hours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cpcormier3:
Sounds like a bad battery then. Happened to me on another phone. I just asked for a new battery and they gave it to me no problem.

I don't even have full bars and I get a minimum of 12 hours on pretty semi heavy use. I don't use wifi and I get at least 3-3.5 hours of screen on time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cpcormier3:
Basically you shouldn't have to worry about battery life if your only using the phone "normally".....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
thanks im just gonna ask for another batteryi like this phone its just battery issue that all
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deedscreen:
Same thing with me:

Guess I'll get a new battery....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
Do i have to go to the repair store to ask for it or can i go where i bought the phone in sales store only official sprint store?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
A sales only store is unlikely to have any batteries on hand, we hoard a ton of new and used ones at my store, but we're a repair store...we're always getting folks coming from sales only stores for batteries.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
I just talk to the sales store and they wanna look into my phone and im rooted i just want them to check the battery by it self grr
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cpcormier3:
Yeah even when i'm in a crappy service area I still get at least 12 hours of medium use, with at least 2 hours of screen on time. I'm using the stock ROM as well. I have 2 email accounts on push. And don't use wifi
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cpcormier3:
Just tell them you're in a hurry and don't have time. They just gave me a new one and then I was on my way...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
Cool thanks ill try that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deedscreen:
Good luck...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
Omg i got a new battery but had to pay for it but oh well i got with external battery ut omg god i see the difference on the first one the percent will go dows every min now is like there for a while
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ajs2677:
Excellent news, glad it worked out. Where did you end up getting your battery? And if you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
Apps like Facebook would drain my battery really fast. I use friendcaster now. Also make sure your not using the wireless location in the gps setting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Wtf?! You've had the phone for less than a week and they made you PAY for a replacement? That's f'ed up! If the repair center wanted to charge you, I'd leave there, go back home and get all the **** that you got with the phone. Next I'd go back to the retail store and heavily suggest they give me a new replacement because this phone is not working correctly. If they give you grief then bluff them and tell them you want to return the phone (its still within the initial return period) and cancel your service because I'll be damned if I have to pay for a replacement part that was faulty and the phone is days old. You can also say that you'll report on the survey your story and give all failing marks.

Sorry if I sound like a **** but that's complete bull**** that they would make you pay for a replacement battery when the original is bad and the phone is less than a week old. Insurance or not, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Also don't let them try to pass the buck and tell you to send it into Samsung. I would tell the agent that I understand it personally isn't their fault, but you would greatly appreciate it if they work with you on this and get you a swap out replacement at no charge. You don't want anything extra, just a new working battery to replace faulty one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
What's an extra few minutes Odin flashing back to stock? Or hell, use autoroot to remove root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
as been reported and confirmed here endless times, rooting your phone does NOT do anything to your rights to get defective stuff replaced...

it doesn't mean a thing if you've rooted your phone, and you are having a problem like you are having...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
i got it from the official sprint store sales one and they charge me 60 bucks beacuse its the one with the charge adapter that charge the batterie by it self
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Oh so they probably said they don't have batteries to swap out but you could buy this. If you have the bad battery still, if it were me, unroot or Odin flash to stock and take it to the repair center. You might luck out and get a replacement battery out of them. Btw, the charger and battery for our phone that sprint sells, the charger won't charge extended life batteries in it because the contacts are on the wrong side.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I had good luck with blazer and calkulin rooms for better than stock battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
I got the standard battery by the way the stock battery started working turns out that if i close my apps down all the time it will make it run down faster lol oops
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
How did you determine that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
Because it lasted more the 5 hours
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
OK.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SMARTPHONEPC:
I finally checked out the SGNote today in an AT&T store for an hour (both it & a case fits in my pockets & feels fine in my hand/s but the huge screen is startling at first then I started getting used to it) but they did not yet make the S-Pen available to play with (fearing people would steal it I guess).

One thing I did not see was Settings->Display-Screen Mode->"Dynamic, Standard, Movie"?

A Google now turned up:

http://phandroid.com/2012/02/18/samsung-galaxy-note-review/

"One of things sadly missing from the Note (and is present in the Epic 4G Touch) was the Screen Mode option in the display settings. Not exactly sure why all Samsung SAMOLED devices don’t have this option but it was disappointing to see this left out of the Note. Being able to turn down/max out the amount of color saturation on your SAMOLED device is one of the best ideas since.. well, SAMOLED."

WTF? :eek: :rolleyes: Why? -Thanx

I know there are no programs to root the lg optimus 3d running android 2.3.5

v20c. Is it not possible to still manually root them? Or is there some need to change the exploits or make a new one in order for this to work?
[LG Optimus 3D] salsadoom:
At present, no. But I have a feeling in the next few weeks we'll see some roots. I think the guys page is vulnfactory.org - someone already contacted him about this and he thinks it looked pretty easy. The guys on vacation at the moment but from the sounds of it.. This guys pretty sharp and doesn't think much of lg's security.

Good for us :)
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
hi huys, i found these different news from the web..that we can unlock our x8's bootloader with manufacture date of11w29 onwards...

im not sure if these guides work, but i want to hear your opinions about this news..

these are the guides to unlock our phone using alternative security bypass or testpoint method...

#1. i think this is paid version>>>>>>here

#2. i think this is free>>>>>here

#2 is tested on 2011 phones, but i dont know if it also works on aour lovely x8

here is the video>>>>>here

these are the news about the latest ways to unlock our bootloader, but it has not been confirmed yet..

let us post updates here or similar news...

im not responsible if anything happens to your phone..

SO WHAT DO YOU SAY?GIVE US YOUR OPINIONS..LET US SHARE IDEAS..:)

kind regards,

baiclark
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
up for this!
[XPERIA X8 General] Xmaster8:
Some say that from 29-34 you can unlock (50-50% it will work ok) but after 34 they say you can throw your phone to trash can if you try.

Are you sure my x8 is 11w35 so i can't unlock bootlooder
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
"-testpoint altbypass method will work now for msm7227-based phones,which using MCUs with fixed security bug.

that means, resurrection cables will work for MCUs with fixed security bug.

- fixed problem with FOTA upgrade for msm8x55-based phones, unlocked by altbypass"

this is what the_laser said...

so it is possible to unlcok our x8 by using testpoint method...

it's just that, nobody hasn't tried it yet..

i want to try it but i don't know where to find the testpoint of our x8..

anyways, i'm still searching how it is really done..

kind regards,

[XPERIA X8 General] daddy_rhon:
lols!Me too i success w/o hesitation,but when i know tha im w31 i did not do that again,the problem is everytime i get brick i can't use any ftf,after flashing that,instead of sonyericsson appear,it is unique logo instead like punctuation mark with a phone under inside the triangle,i forgot some details,now i will not try it again to unlock because it is always my phone goes turning off when i plug the usb...
[XPERIA X8 General] B.Jay:
That's the well-kept secret...

I worked out that it's a simple UART TX/RX connection, but the question remains unanswered about which testpoints need to be used. The only hint I found so far was in the changelog of Omnius where they walk about "Testpoint pictures updated".

In short, all we need are either the testpoint pictures or a detailed description to where we need to wiretap.
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
exactly...this method has been tested for the 2011 devices like Neo, Arc,etc, and that the testpoint for those phones has also been located...

to all devs out there, do you know where the testpoint of our x8 is?:)..we would be glad to share it with us...and i would be willing to try this method..:D

kind regards,

baiclark
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
found the picture of the testpoint

but still i dont know which one...the labels are not clear..

i can see 4,5,6,7 and 8 labeled on the testpoints

here you go!

View attachment 917089
[XPERIA X8 General] B.Jay:
Could that be the "SEPORT Testmatrix"?

EDIT: YES, IT IS!

In the Schematics Manual...

On the SECONDARY SIDE page (page 3) the area in question is labeled as TP2300

On page 11, left side - 8 Pins - that's TP2300

Here you have the pinout out of the Manual:

AUDIO1 ------- (1) ----> FML

AUDIO2 ------- (2) ----> AUX_OUT

ON ----------- (3) ----> ON_MPP3-4

HW_SERVICE --- (4) ----> WE2_N_R <-- Taps into a line of the NAND circuit (p8, bottom left, EBI2_WE_N)

SW_SERVICE --- (5) ----> SOFT_SERVICE <-- Connects to M3/MPP13 of PM7540 (Audio)

DTMS --------- (6) ----> UIM1_M_RESET <-- Connects to P2_IO-devices (I2C Bus there)

DFMS --------- (7) ----> UIM1_M_DATA <-- Connects to P2_IO-devices (I2C Bus there)

GND ---------- (8) ----> GND <-- Connects to common ground

EDIT 2: Need to have a second look into the Schematics Manual later the day to track down to where the pins starting with pin 4 go to ... Pin 1 through 3 don't seem to be of greater interest at all, Pin 4+ (as documented in the picture) seem to be the highly interesting ones.

If you need the Manual, it's in my "Service Manuals" folder on MediaFire.
[XPERIA X8 General] B.Jay:
Yes ... you need to read the code like this

<year>W<week>

The first two numbers are the last two digits of the year.

10 --> 2010

11 --> 2011

12 --> 2012

The "W" means "Week"

The last two numbers are the week of the year ... so something between 01 and 52 ;)
