Use that battery app that turn off data while at night...juice defender or something
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
Juice Defender is your friend!! It can disable everything for you when the screen is off, but will turn on your radios at a predetermined interval to do things like grab mail, update weather, etc.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8cpaiw:
Hi I'm new here.

I have xperia x8 and would like to know did i rooted or did I not rooted my phone.

I downloaded superoneclick...follow instructions but didnt make backup with xrecovery or anything else.

my phone wanted superuser permission for some battery thing ....

and one more thing!

Do I have to install some custom ROM for android 2.2 or I already have 2.2?

because in settings->about phone->firmware version is 2.1-update1

->build number is 2.1.1.A.0.6

pls help
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
The easiest way would be to open the "Terminal" (if not installed -> this is what you're looking for) and type 'su'.

If the su binary exists and works you're most likely rooted.

The build string of 2.1.1.A.0.6 means you got the genuine Sony Ericsson Android 2.1 series ROM.

Android 2.1 ("Eclair") - 2.1.x

Android 2.2 ("Froyo") - 2.2.x

Android 2.3 ("Gingerbread") - 2.3.x

Finally, yes you need to install a custom ROM in order to run Android 2.2 (i.e. FroyoPro 2.4 by lrakkarl) or Android 2.3 (i.e. GingerDX by doixanh)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8cpaiw:
ok i downloaded it and type su nothing happened han i tryed with 'su' nothing happened...

i saw i have icon of superuser android guy with one eye covered

what know?

I:confused::( am ashame to ask but how to install custom ROM?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
Type su and press enter (the button bottom and right in the keyboard) the $ icon will turn to # if you are rooted and it will tell sth like "access denied" if you are not.

If you have superuser and you haven't downloaded from market you are rooted.

If you want to know how to install a custom rom just use the search button and you will find a lot of threads! :-)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8cpaiw:
tnx!

my phone is rooted :cool:

it is #

i cant go in xrecovery

i got 3 files (1 rar other 2 are something else) in instructions:is to copy that 3 files into system/bin folder

i did that and turn off and on my mobile phone press back key and nothing happened.Any help for this?

i also downloaded floyo-1.0 ->what is that(its a custom ROM) but which one?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
No, I was talking about these ROMs (at the time of writing) here:

FroyoPro v2.4 by lrakkarl

GingerDX v022 by doixanh (Recommended)

Note about GingerDX Downloads:

The download links in doixanh's post are dead at the moment. Click the Link in my signature for GingerDX downloads ... but read on first.

Now, as for xRecovery:

To make it easy for you. Click the link in my signature and hop into the "Recoveries" folder. Download the "xRecovery_Installer_v0.1.apk", copy it onto the SD card of your phone (connect in USB-Storage mode and copy the file).

By using a File Manager like Root Browser Lite you then install the APK from your SD card.

One it has been installed you will find the "xRecovery Installer" icon in the list of apps - tap it, follow instructions to install xRecovery.

Once you installed xRecovery continue like this ...

Download GingerDX v013 AND GingerDX v022 as well as the ModulesStockKernel AddOn (you find everything in my MediaFire folder).

Copy all three files onto your SD card.

Once the files are copied ...

Reboot the phone and keep on pressing the "BACK" button once the "Sony Ericsson" logo shows up to get into xRecovery.

In there you select to flash a custom zip, navigate to the GingerDX v013 ZIP on your SD card and flash it.

Once that ROM has been flashed reboot.

Once the "Sony Ericsson" logo shows up again keep on tapping onto the screen to get into ClockworkMod recovery (do NOT boot up yet)!

In there you do almost the same as before ...

Select to flash a custom zip, navigate to the GingerDX v022 ZIP on your SD card and flash it.

Once the flash has been done you select to flash a custom ZIP again and flash the ModulesStockKernel ZIP.

Once that is done you select "Full Wipe (Factory Reset)" and then you are free to reboot into GingerDX v022.

In case of questions, post.

ok tnx but now i have different problem :mad::confused:

i installed xrecovery and busybox(need installation) and root explorer

and then ,when i wanted to install busy box it said i don't have superuser permission??

brfore that as you can se in my earlier post when i write su its #

but now is su:must be suid to work properly

help

i try unroot(via superoneclick)but program has frozen.....

i try to root it again then this appears:it seems your device is rooted

HELP pls?

sorrry for bad language
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
It said you don't have superuser permission? Or it open superuser and ask for permission?

Just hit allow!

*If the cursor is # you are rooted for sure, you don't have to reroot it.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8cpaiw:
no no!!!

i tried to install busybox but it told me that I dont have superuser permission

and in terminal emulator when type su this appears: it seems your device is rooted

and i tried to unroot but when it comes to some point(installing busybox temporeraly-step change mode ) proggram freeze
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agenty1609:
Everytime I've used SuperOneClick its has installed busybox as part of the rooting process. Just try rooting your phone again and put the output from the log in this thread if you're still having issues. This is normally a very straight forward process.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8cpaiw:
i removed busybox(from market)from my phone and rerooted ,succesfull but than i went to terminal emulator and type su ......no #!!!!!!!

I am going to reroot one more time if a failed i am going to factory data erase!

:o:o
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agenty1609:
I'd say re-root your phone with SuperOneClick again. Once you believe that it is rooted, go to the market and search for an app with "root" in its name (e.g. something like "root memory manager" - Or any program that states root access is needed). Install the app and then load it up, it should then popup asking to allow superuser acsess, click "Allow" - The App should load as intended.... This means your phone IS roooted! (Click yes on the popup to allow root access too the app, job done!)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8cpaiw:
ok i am going to try that but now i must go!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
seems like you have to reroot it.

pay attention to the installation of busybox:

[YOUTUBE]LHxLVlhCWLM[/YOUTUBE]

if this dont fix your problem then as you said do a full wipe and try again!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
@mario1024

The xRecovery Installer (the APK I recommended to you) installs everything you need - the xRecovery Installer will put busybox, chargemon and xrecovery.tar into the system ... you, of course, need to have root.

If you have problems rooting with SuperOneClick ...

Download Flashtool v0.2.9.1 (again, see the link in my Sig and hop into the "Flashtool" folder).

Boot your phone, enable USB-Debugging, connect to phone to the computer in "Charging mode".

- Start Flashtool

- Press the "Root" button

A automatic reboot will follow!

Once the phone rebooted...

Connect in "Charging mode" again.

- Press the "Ask root perm" button and look at your phone.

You will get a popup from Superuser to grant su permissions.

Confirm the request!

- Now click the "xRecovery" button to inject xRecovery into your phone.

Done - rooted and xRecovery in one go.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8cpaiw:
I did everything but when I rooted and press ask root perms nothing happened just my phone turn off and on(i install xrecovery after rooting)

is there something like xrecovery? alternative?

and btw tnx
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8cpaiw:
sorry i write wrong

i did everything (ask root perms and then xrecovery) yey

what now?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
No, there's no alternative to xRecovery.

EDIT: Not entirely true ... there's the x8toolbox by puppet13th that's able to inject Dual Recovery (xRecovery AND ClockworkMod recovery) - though you need root for x8toolbox to do its job.

Anyhow, since you are trying for quite a few attempts now: To be on the safe side, as the thing that happened was not the intended outcome, try to restore back to plain Stock ROM and re-try from there.

Using a clean Stock ROM may lead to what we want without troubles.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
I am a little confused... If I am understanding well you did the whole thing but what do you mean"what now?"?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Now continue with flashing a custom ROM ...

I already put the steps on how to flash GingerDX in a two-step process into a previous post.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8cpaiw:
so now i need to clean this and install that custom ROM(160mb)which will take me to start all over again :)

or install that x8toolbox-beta5????
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Like I wrote in the PM to you ...

Since xRecovery does not work for you:

- Flash back to a clean Stock ROM and re-try from there.

Download the "Unbrick" guide from my "Sony Ericsson" folder on MediaFire and follow steps in there to flash a clean Stock ROM with Flashtool, root, and inject xRecovery.

I wrote that guide quite a while ago as I accidentally soft-bricked by X8 with a bad flash of GingerDX (yap, s**t happens) and improved it over time to make it as easy to follow as somehow possible.

Once you achieved the goal to have root and a working xRecovery decide what you want to do ...

If you want a Gingerbread ROM follow the two-step procedure to flash GingerDX.

If you want a Froyo ROM disregard the part of my guide dealing with FroyoPro v1.1 as that ROM is now succeeded by FroyoPro v2.4 and requires to be flashed with CWM, not xRecovery.

In this case you may want to use x8toolbox (find the thread by puppet13th in the development section) to inject "Dual Recovery" (xRecovery AND ClockworkMod recovery). Then follow the installation instructions in the FroyoPro v2.4 thread by larkkarl (also in the development section).
[Sony Tablet S] dtaylorr:
A survey from Sony popped up on my tablet this morning.

If you are having issues with your tablet or just want to share your thoughts, this is a great opportunity. Took about ten minutes.

The few items I mentioned were:

1- The computer style charger and the inability to charge via the USB port.

2- Lack of HDMI post.

3- Being unable to play content off of the SD Card.

4- There needs to be better cameras and a flash on at least the rear facing one.

I also mentioned on the plus side:

1- The form of the tablet is awesome.

2- The screen is nice, crisp and clear.

3- Very quick and capable.
[Sony Tablet S] Kermit33:
You can play the contents from the SD card without transferring them with the app File Manager.:)
[Sony Tablet S] Lunat1c:
Yes and u can even mount it as an internal SD and play it with what ever u want. The issue is/was that it hasnt been done by default.

But back the topic:

I cant wait to get that popup and tell them what incompetent retar..... :P

Tbh, I love this tablet, but the support has been more than awful. The WiFi issue alone almost caused me to give it back. (The supports ingenious solution was to keep it alive i.e. display on, as long as I need it :rolleyes:)

Root and (hopefully soon) unlocked bootloader will give us the ability to fix many issues by ourself. And this'll be the 2nd part of my survey...the impudence of makin it so hard to root.

Personally I dont see any reason for preventing those things. Everyone knows they'll void the warranty if they do it...so let us! ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocke_lulle:
Hi

I have a question about the multitasking on the sgs. Right now I have been running ~4,5 days without a system-restart and now my multitasking ability is kind of non-existent. It is difficult to have two apps running at the same time. When I switch between apps they most probably need to be reopened again. And the contacs-app always needs to be reopened, it never sticks in the memory. I am using a stripped down jw1 odex rom(surface), about 40 apps installed and two widgets running. Im using thunderbolt 2.5.1 script and a kernel(midnight) with lmk set to 65mb.

Its been a long time since I had my sgs running such a long time without restart so I havent thought about this before but now I realised that it is kind of annoying. It's like the system eats up all the ram.

Is there anyone else that have the same multitasking behavior on their phone?

Thanks

My phone will not vibrate for a phone call or notification in any mode other than vibrate/silent mode. Anyone else having this issue? also, even with vibration intensity set to maximum, it is extremely low compared to the way it was with Gingerbread. It would really help if you guys tell me what you're experiencing so that I know if its my physical phone, or just the ics builds fault. Thanks.

There are a few other bugs, but there is a detailed fb17 bug list thread you can check out.

Haven't tried. I already had contact photos set up before, and they just carried over without any extra effort. The same should've happened for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] e92dream:
To the vibrating issue... I use vibrate all of the time and went from fb17 to fb21 to blends fb21 hoping there was a fix for this and the other issues. The vib issue was there with every one of them. I ended up being weak and went back to GB. But I did read in the galaxy 2 threads that some people tried sound manager app and that worked. Didn't know if anyone on an ICS rom wanted to try that out on our e4gt's.

Haha... No problem man. Nice to know that worked and now i'm debating going back to ics.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
More thanks for mentioning Sound manager, e92dream. That worked and resolved the biggest problem I've had with FB21 so far. Yes, GPS is finnicky and there are a few other issues, but they're all avoidable. That one was the biggest impact.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
Well if feeling the vibration is very important to you, I wouldn't go back just yet, because the intensity is extremely weak compared to the way it originally was.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] e92dream:
Yeah. I'm on Calkulin's 2.9.1 & definitely missed this ROM. It's very stable for my daily uses. Can't wait til he has a custom ICS rom. Anyways, did sound manager with the volume at all? I didn't mention it but my volume didn't seem as loud either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] e92dream:
No problem. The vibration/sound and SMS/mms issues were killing me but I found a work around for the messaging. I'm not familiar with system and script editing so I had no clue how to tackle the vib/sound issue. Every app I tried said the system vibration was disabled so I gave up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
There wasn't any issue with my volume. Its just as loud as it was on gb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkeena0305:

Maybe I'm just being paranoid then.

[HTC Rezound] RKight:
I bought mine in a corporate store 11 days ago and decided to call and see what could be done. The price is online only meaning my only option would be to return the phone to the corporate store (and pay the $35 restocking fee) then order online (and possibly get stuck with the $35 activation fee, which the store waived for me). If you ordered your phone online, it seems they are perfectly willing and able to do a price match and refund the difference.

Oh and +1 on this. I went from a Samsung Captivate to this and am extremely happy with my decision. I was going to get the GNex but I don't see any real advantage to it other than coming with ICS...and I wasn't very happy with Samsung after all the GPS issues the Captivate had. My Captivate would lose GPS lock in a car that was moving over 30 mph on any ROM, stock or otherwise, while my Rezound successfully got a 7 satellite lock in the most underground part of my walk-out basement. Of course that's just one of many great things about this phone. Lol

[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Might jump on this. Just got my upgrade on the 16th but I'm waiting on mwc to see if any quad core phones are hitting Verizon within the next few months. Hopefully HTC, too. I know the One X is supposed to be announced with the tegra 3 and if it's coming to Verizon I may just have to hold out for it.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I'm curious if quad cores will actually make any real world difference in the phones performance especially since the Rezound runs on one core 99% of the time??
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Since the tegra 3 has an idle core and the LTE modem integrated right into the chip, there should be a pretty big improvement in battery life. That's really my only concern. since I'll be locked into a 2 year contract I'm sure somewhere in that time we'll be able to fully utilize all 4 cores by then. If the cores aren't utilized then I'll take the increase in battery life I'd it's better than dual core, till something else that improves battery life comes.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Appearently the Tegra 3 still uses the 40nm process for their chips will the next generation Snapdragon S4 will be using a 28nm. This means a smaller chip and less battery consumption.

I know benchmarks aren't everything but this is still pretty darn impressive considering this is a dual-core chip.

[HTC Rezound] the_passenger:
damn, just bought another one 17days ago.
[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
It's just the opposite. Building the same circuit with smaller gates will consume more power, due to increased gate leakage (quantum tunnelling). They compensate by using more sophisticated power control (shutting down unused portions of the IC), dynamic frequency scaling, multi-supply voltages (different voltages to different parts of the IC, depending on how fast they need to run), and process improvements (better materials). Much of that mitigation is already in use.

They decrease process size for two reasons - to put more functionality into the same space, and to increase yields (lower price/increase profit). It's not done to improve power efficiency.

What will ultimately result in better power consumption is a move to LTE for both voice and data. LTE is more spectrally efficient, and that, along with being able to remove the need for dual radios, will make things much better. That, of course, can't really happen until VZW has their entire network upgraded to LTE.
[HTC Rezound] Romans8vs1:
I bought my rezound on the first of February. Called Verizon on my way home today and the first rep credited my account without any problem. Very cool!
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
$80 on Wirefly.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Nope pretty much no difference at all for everyday usage. Also probably no difference on current apps and future apps unless they really take advantage of the extra cores. TBH dual core is unecessary still for the current usage of our phones.

Linpack is trash. Now if it ACTUALLY gives double the performance in load times (which I highly doubt) and there's like virtually no difference between the 220 and 225. Not much of an upgrade TBH from our current chipset, but not a bad thing to have if you're in the market for a new device. If anything it'll mean less heat and in theory it should be less power consumption. But heck these things don't always work as they're intended too.

I really doubt there will be huge improvements in battery life. Battery technology is years behind our current tech. You're technically not "locked" if you don't like your current device, you can always just sell it, and buy what you want at full retail :cool:. Carriers are good at creating the illusion you're stuck with what you buy for 20 months. I highly doubt any android apps or the OS will be fully utilizing 2+ cores any time soon... Hell look at the PC world!
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Yea, I know there is very little (if any) real world speed difference between my Wife's highly tricked out one core Droid Charge and my dual core Rezound.

They run similar Antutu scores and if you lay them side by side and do the exact same thing on both phones simultaneously you will be hard pressed to pick one as a clear cut speed winner.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
still doesn't beat the price I got on Amazon Thanksgiving week: 1 penny!!!
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
GB Rezzy @ 1.8 ghz hit over 7k on Antut same with ICS Rezzy @ 1.7. I doubt a single core Charge will get near that :D. But for everyday usage load speeds not too much of a difference. I know web browsing even on GB was smoother thanks to the second core. But I'm pretty sure a single core device web browsing probably will just be as smooth on ICS. Everyday usage I agree it's not much of a difference for now.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Probably not, but the Rez isn't stable at that speed for any length of time without bootlooping either so it's rather immaterial.
