[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ichigo786:
Hi, can someone tell me if the Darkforest 3.0.5 stock rom has everything working just like a stock rom ? gamepad, touch etc

Also is the battery life any good or should i change kernels?

Lastly i am going to format my sd card and do the Links2sd as mentioned above, i wanted to know if installing the Darkforest is as simple as just placing it on my external SD booting up to CWM and then flashing the ROM...?

thank you for any help (and for the help already given greatly appreciate it)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
yes to all (doomlord kernel is best )
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShahinTehShiz:
Hey, I'm in the same position, and was wondering if someone could link me to CWM for locked bootloaders, and to Darkforest 3.0.5? Also what would I have to do if a newer version of Darkforest comes out?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShahinTehShiz:
Anyone? Sorry to be a pest >.<
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
maybe make your own thread? but go on the market and look for something like cwm recovery installer xperia.

Unlocking your Bootloader is well worth doing.

Bought a Kingston 16GB SDHC Class 10 card for my Desire a while ago, and found out it is not a happy match. Simply too unreliable. Went back to the good ol' trusted Transcend 8GB SDHC Class 6 card.

Anyone got any experience with the Transcend 16GB SDHC Class 10 card on the Desire?
[Desire Accessories] bightf:
Hi,

I have a Kignston µSDHC 16Go class 10 and I'm very happy with it. What do you mean with "unreliable ?"
[Desire Accessories] siliconaddict:
My device was becoming noticably slower with this card instead of faster, and I got read errors continuously in apps like media players, Astro File Explorer en Root Explorer. Possibly it was becoming slower because of the read errors.

A chkdisk on Windows 7 continuously gave errors and a chkdsk on EXT4 Recovery sometimes was even unable to fix errors on it.

Reformatting only helped for a short while, then the read errors would reoccur.

So I finally gave up on it and trashed it.

I read everywhere that the Desire is very picky when it comes to memory cards.
[Desire Accessories] bightf:
Well, it seems like your kingston card was dead, it shouldn't give any error on a chkdsk.

Did you know you can get it exchanged from Kingston under warranty ? It has a lifetime warranty. I had to do it for mine because the first one I had was defective from the beginning, I couldn't format it at all.

Trust me, I have this card and it works flawlessly since I got it exchanged !
[Desire Accessories] siliconaddict:
I did exchange it already, the 1st one truly was crap, far worse than the 2nd one, the 2nd one was slightly better but still crap. So I decided to ditch Kingston altogether.

Lexar cards

I've had good luck with a lexar class 10 32gb cards. No one I know has any transcend cards though.
[Desire Accessories] gen_scheisskopf:
I can't use Transcend micro SDHC 16 GB class 4- I had to pull the battery almost always after using an app that accessed SD (camera, gallery, music player etc)
[Desire Accessories] greenie25:
I've found that samsung has been a dream with good speeds and no issues (as of yet...). As for the Kingston i got a class 4 card and that worked fine for me.

Rooted my phone yesterday an now on stock 4.0.2(rooted ), before i rooted my phone i had it for approximately one billing cycle, in this first month the first 2 or 3 days it was great the next 2 or 3 days i was dropping signal frequently then after that my signal never dropped again no grey bars with no 3g none of that, I root my phone yesterday an today i drop service from like 7 pm till now 330 am, just grey bars no 3g signal i went in an out of airplane mode a couple times nothing read that there were outages this morning so i didn't look to much into it,i took a nap around 9pm an just woke up an saw the phone still in the no data stage so i just turned it off an back on an now i have 3g, did i do something wrong with root, i was particularly happy with my service and speeds now i can't hold on to 3g i know it's only been one day and it's hard to come to a conclusion but just looking into what you guys think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mataro:
Did you do full wipe before and or after root? Also check the thread where you got your ROM and send message of issue to that ROM dev.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Did you root it (i.e., gain admin/root access on stock firmware and install superuser) or did you completely wipe stock and install a custom firmware not made by Google?

As you may or may not understand: Those two are not the same. The symptoms you mention can't come from merely rooting your phone, as you claim to have done.

Not to be nitpicky about it, but if you cannot accurately portray what you have done, it's hard to pinpoint what the problem may be.

Right now your statement makes about as much sense as "I rooted my phone yesterday, and today the donuts came with strawberries".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Henrock11:
I had similar issue last night....I woke up around 6am to find that I had no network connection and my battery was down to 5% (mind u I went to sleep at midnight with 57% battery left), and I figured it had to do with the radios looking for a signal. I'm rooted running the 4.0.4 rom update.

Anyway, Thanks for your help.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] masterjet:
Try to unlock with setool2 - cost money
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mrozik1990:
I'm sorry that digging up the subject, but I can not even start a new one.

Is now a way of unlocking x10 mini for free? In Poland it costs ~17$ while you can buy a working one with full box for ~58$ so it's not profitable :eek:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mak Manoj:
I wanna do screencaptures and make videos. wats s the best tool !? help !!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GladiatoRiley:
If you have an HTC device, you can hod down the power button and press the home button at the same time.

If you don't, you can download No Root Screenshot It (Market Link) or a similar app from the Android Market.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
Screencast, on android market, is best if you have your phone rooted as it also allows you to video whatever your doing on phone as well as screen capture whereas the screenshot app previously mentioned will not do video.

But you will need a rooted phone to use screencast.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mak Manoj:
i checked SCREENCAST on market. Its showing its incompatible on my phone. Mine is a SE Xperia X8. Is der any app for my phone like screencast that does video screen capture ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcben09:
After countless hours of research, I decided to unlock my bootloader and to root my Motorola Atrix 4G. With success, I was happy to have everything working and installed the Darkside Custom Rom. I let a friend borrow my phone, and they saw the AT&T system update and they decided to install it. They bring back the phone and the system update has finished and was installing. The phone powers off and starts to install the update. 10% into the install, it stops, and I got the little green droid man with the /!\ behind him. I take out my battery, place it back in after 30seconds. It powers on, boots up, powers off and tries to load the update again. I restart it, but this time quickly going into RomManager and starting it up in Recovery Mode. I go to restore the phone using the file I backed up from the TitaniumBackUp app, everything backs up except the system. I plug my phone into my laptop, and everything is in the folder. I performed a system/factory reset, downloaded the last Gingerbread update, but nothing helps. Anything I try to load it says "Installation aborted". No matter if it's the original update or a ROM I download. Looking up other forums, I notice others that have downloaded the Darkside ROM have had the same; if not similar issues. I apologize for the length of this message, but I wanted to put in as much detail as I could so you know exactly what the issue is. I look forward to hearing from someone, and thank you in advance!!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickdeal:
You probably need to sbf it back to a stock ROM and start over. I had a similar problem when I first got my Atrix and the AT&T update first came out. I had already rooted it and didn't unlock the bootloader yet. It tried to update and bricked the phone. Got AT&T to give me another though as I had just got the thing.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcben09:
Thanks a ton! How would I go about doing that?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickdeal:
You need to download motorola RSD app to you computer. Search XDA for stock firmwares and download one. You will then need to use the button combo to get in to RSD. Connect the phone to your computer and make sure it recognizes. I had an issue where one of my laptops would not recognize the phone for anything. I had to use a different laptop. Once it's done you should be back to stock. The bootloader should be unlocked still. Just root and flash your ROM of choice.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rammstein_08:
Hey guys,i have a Streak 5 from a market near by.i bought it very cheap since the LCD was cracked.i don't know his history.

so,i got a new LCD from ebay,replaced it easy.but when i tried to start the phone it's stuck at DELL logo.i tried flashing it with several versions of android using fastboot to install the recovery and put the update.pkg on the sd but when i hit "software upgrade via update,pkg on sd card" the screen goes black and that's all.it stays black forever.also,when i hold the camera& power button i get this for a split second:

TE Fail.Try again.

2nd TE = 48

TE pass

(sometimes instead of 48 is 500 or 50)

please help.i have spent hours on forums trying to figure this out..
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkl_uk:
This is a hardware issue and cannot be solved with help from this website.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pj737:
Sorry for another battery thread but I went through all 10+ pages of the other one and not a single poster mentioned anything about how horrific the battery life is when using the phone to talk to others.

I had my phone for 4 days so far and this is what's reported in the "About phone"... "Status" log:

Note that the total time on the battery from full charge is 7 hours (remaining life is 32%)

Voice Calls - 52% (ONLY 2 HOURS TALK TIME!!!)

Display - 32% (I use the dimmest setting)

Media Server - 4%

Android System - 3%

Cell Standby - 2%

Android OS - 2%

Messaging - 2%

Gmail - 2%

This includes approx 5 minutes of surfing the web and I played three songs on the native music player. I did nothing else with the phone except text and read/send emails through Gmail.

I'm a heavy phone user and according to the specs I'm seeing (68% discharge with 2 hours of talking)... the phone will be at 0% after ~3 hours of talk time. And Samsung's website states 13.5 hours on 3G and 26 hours (!!!) on 2G. Yes, I understand that manufacturers are infamous for overstating battery expectancy when it comes to talk time but by 300%+? That's just ridiculous.

I'm a very heavy phone user and my line of work sometimes doesn't allow access to convenient power for hours at a time. Coming from a Blackberry, 5-6 hours of talk time was standard... and I rarely had issues with my phone dying prematurely/before the end of a work day. And to make matters worse, the chargers I've used (including the one that came with the phone) barely keeps the phone battery balanced when I'm on a call. In fact, even when plugged in/charging and on a phone call... I noticed a few times that the battery was still being drained!

Today, I purchased the two-pack Hyperion batteries w/charger from Amazon. I'm hoping that the battery I have is defective... because 3 hours of talk time is absolutely unacceptable. I'll report back after receiving and testing the new batteries.

In the meantime, any other heavy talkers having similar battery problems?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] u921333:
Holy crap you can make phone calls on this thing. Finding new features everyday!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
Lmao :D

To the op, don't know about anyone else but any previous android phone I've had would loose a ton of battery from a 2 hr phone call or 2 hrs worth of calls thruout the day, so I don't think the note is to blame, if you call that much might want to invest in an extended battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jwood55812:
^^ This, any Android phone I've had, this has been par for the course. Hopefully after a week of breaking it in it gets slightly better!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Uncle Irish:
They way I use my phone, if I can get 10 hours from a charge, I'm more than happy. I run my business from my phone. Since Monday, I'm averaging about 9 hours on a charge

Email - 200+

RDP - 30 mins minimum

Spiceworks - all day

SMS/MMS - hundreds

Web - 30 mins minimum

Calls - 2 hours+

GPS - some days yes, some days no, depends on where I have to go

Homerun Battle 3D - 30 mins minimum

Music - headphones any time I'm not talking on the phone

Using about 2.5 - 3 hours screen time. After the first week, I expect to get another hour or two out of it once things settle down and I have no more setup or adjustments to make. Since I use my phone for everything, I carry a car charger and a USB cable everywhere just so I am prepared.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
:D I had a similar thought. It took me a while to make a test call to make sure it works. I hate when people call my phone. I usually use voice for emergencies and people who don't text/email.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] randomnameftw:
LOL!

Thought the battery life was good, on my old international note. You did mention

you're a heavy talker, plus the LTE radio doesn't help. Buying those extra batteries

should help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] u921333:
Plus we all have to admit we do look funny with this thing on side of our faces :). But still so so worth it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sakanagai:
Not sure why people keep saying this. I have no idea why people have to look in the mirror to make/take a phone call.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrDSL:
agreed...i think the people with those silly bluetooth thingys hanging off their ear looks funny.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Personally I would rather buy a portable external charger like this, than deal with ripping the back cover off to swap the Note's battery.

http://www.cellphoneshop.net/microusbackup.html?CAWELAID=968304514

Not sure I would get this exact model, getting one with a cord or one you can plug a standard USB cord into might be more useful, then again this is compact.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] camaroz28:
I had at least 2 hours of talk time yesterday, and my call usage was only like 30% and screen was somewhere in the teens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] inconceivable:
Just about every phone except for BlackBerry seems to kill the battery when your actually talking on it. My Samsung Focus, Inspire, iPhone and Streak all can't handle phone calls for very long. My Bold was the only phone that could handle a conference call over an hour, but the sacrifice was that callign was the only thing it could actually do well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pj737:
Apparently I am one of the only (or at least few) people that actually use their note to talk frequently to others.

Apple advertises 8 hours talk time for their iphones. People get 5-8 hours.

Blackberry advertises 6.5 hours for their Touch phones. I got about 5 hours.

Samsung boasts a 13.5 hour talk time on their Note. I get 3 hours.

I'm surprised there aren't more people disgusted by this blatant false advertising. I was hoping to have a phone that not only lasts me through the day... but through the evening as I often go out after work. And those "13.5-hour" specs got me a bit excited... if I could achieve only half that I would be very pleased. And because this thing charges so painfully slow (about 15%-20% per HOUR of charge) it's impossible to get it rejuvenated for an evening of moderate use after work. Battery swapping will be my only option... and the back cover isn't exactly easy to remove and replace.

As far as I'm concerned, the Note's battery is a huge fail. It's either way too small (mAh) or the phone is incredibly inefficient (or both). Very disappointed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
I get 40% per hour, while it is on but not being used. Haven't tried while off yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] greyhulk:
I made around a two hour call last night using a bluetooth headset and I'm pretty sure I only dropped about 20% or so on battery.

That being said, I rarely make calls on my smartphone, so I could care less about talk time.

Battery life has been great overall for me. No complaints here.

For me, the ledge above the earpiece cuts into my earlobe. I bought a Jawbone Icon and love it. The noise cancellation kicks all kinds of ass.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
Honesty my son uses my note make calls some times and he is 11 and i dont think that it looks funny when he is talking on it.

and as for the battery drain i was on a call for 1.5 hours str8 yesterday and i lost 20 percent...so that means if it were fully charged i would be on par to get 6 plus hours of phone time.

i do have a screen off setting and a call setting that underclocks my phone while talking. so that may help :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Willthrill:
So 13.5 on 3G not lte? Also I would imagine that is straight talk time nothing else.... And from the looks of it you use it for more than just talk.... How much screen time is on?

[XPERIA X8 General] zomer331:
Why are You bored?

You don't have still to install the new one, just install one and stay one him.

Just before make a backup of contact, massage and else.

The customs roms are really very smooth/ JUST better in statistic.

Just install some stable rom like: Achotjan Semc Debrand Engine or FireDroid 1.0

For me stock rom are much boring than custom rom & less feature...

what? your bored of what our brilliant devs have made? -.-

you like 2.1? wow this just keeps getting weirder.....

use SEUS or PCC (pc companion> PCC)

or a backup in recovery

EDIT: i forgot to say, when people brick their phones, they have to restore back to stock (hard brick). so technically this question has been asked before ;)

I still have the flickering screen problem after .14update. Does anyone have the problem? I am wondering if Asus will fix this problem with future update...The flickering screen is really annoying to me..

Edit: Because of flickering, I no longer use ezpdf reader and switched to "My Library". Then flickering occurred when it was just standing by....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MOD64:
I didn't see this issue until after I upgraded to ICS... I only see it when I use the live wallpaper... lets hope our friend Gary and Asus can figure this out an fix the problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ultraman666:
Just wait for the custom roms that will come out since the bootloader unlock is out. The Dev's will get all the issues ironed out and make this a great tablet for sure.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaypm:
have you been able to isolate what applications or events trigger the screen flickering?

it is my belief that the screen flickering issues are caused by bugs in the video drivers. certain applications seem to be causing memory corruption of some sort that leads to this flickering. in my case i am seeing specific applications trigger the issue, and a reboot always fixes it. i am quite sure this is not a hardware problem given those characteristics.

i'm thinking that the best way to address this is to identify some easily reproducible steps, provide this info to Gary and hope this gets passed on to asus/nvidia engineers so that they can identify and fix the bugs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] franky_402:
i rarely seen the issue before the last update, now its constantly, i just did a fresh boot and the very first 10 seconds was the screen flickering.. Pretty annoying i might add. Bcokas here

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
The only time I see Flickering Screen seems to be using Firefox Browser and I think the App itself causing most if not all the problem.

+1 i have also seen firefox trigger the flickering multiple times
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sp3cia1_K:
After the ICS update I get horrible flickering, screen tearing, and artifacting in the youtube app in power save mode. Like to the point where it will lock up, turn off and restart itself. Interestingly enough tho, that does not happen in balanced mode or performance mode. Any idea as too why?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] myeepad:
Once you used the customer rom, the warranty on your prime will be forfeited. At that time, flickering or not, you have to pay to fix that. Be careful when you do that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xxbeanxx:
I read somewhere that the screen refresh rate is dropped to 35Hz when in power saving mode. Perhaps that's why?
