[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armands64:
Hello. everyone!

This my first thread!:D

So a question about the warranty: I have a X8 with nAa 11 kernel, ICS, unlocked bootloader, and root.

If i flashed the stock kernel back, re-locked bootloader nad flashed back to stock android with loosing root via SEUS, will i have my warranty.

My first android phone was HTC Tatto, it is still rooted, and i had to give to warranty service, because of my non-working charging port, and they fixed it! :eek:

So i think they probably wont fix it because of the noticable new stock image and custom rom.They wont see the superuser app.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
WRONG SECTION - this is the GENERAL board, not the "Q&A"

*Waits for Colossus to close the thread*

As an answer - if you completely restore back to Stock Kernel / Locked boot loader / Stock ROM it's very unlikely they will notice you had it rooted and a custom kernel running - unless it's a W8 and you flashed the X8 Stock ROM; even a blind one won't miss that something's not right here.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbso:
If you flashed all those things back to normal then take a look at this next part:

If you rooted a month ago (or less than that) you should be alright.

If you rooted 2-3 months ago then Maybe a chance

If you rooted 4+ months then there isn't much hope

and if you rooted 1 year ago, yer screwed.

Hope it helped P.S like b.jay said, if you have a w8 and flashed stock x8, they will be wandering where walkman and stuff etc is.....

Lol, true, hope i got the post squeezed in early enough :)

@Wilbso,

Why would it matter how long ago you rooted your phone?

What difference does it make if I rooted it 4 months ago as if I rooted it a week ago?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rahat34:
i think there will be no problem when you do this....my phone had some hardware problem last month and i gave it to service centre...they never saw a differnce and repared it....i just flashed my stock kernel and went back to 2.1 rom...it was still rooted and bootloader was unlocked :D...i bought my phone in dec2010

ps;my phone is still not repaired...it has touch bugs :(..idiot se
[Eee Pad Transformer General] garpunkal:
Hi,

Anyone else having the following issues with ICS (stock, rooted):

Locked screen, using power button doesn't work

Reboot and stuck on Asus Logo?

both resulting in pressing on and power up to restart..

seems like this update isn't fully tested. I haven't done a full wipe, I simply updated through OTA... should I try this? If I do, can I do an ADB backup and restore?

Thanks folks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
its most likely because you were rooted and did modifications that caused the OTA to fail and mess something up.

The OTA itself was tested by ASUS, its you who did mods to the tablet that made the OTA fail for you. You'll most likely have to wipe and start all over. Or just DL a custom ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fonix232:
I wiped, totally cleaned the system, installed WW latest full blob then the update, and it occured. Just to note, my only mod was root, nothing else.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
WTF? You have errors. You no you didn't wipe.....Always Wipe. Always. ..Always... IF you don't and then get errors. wipe. Seriously....Wipe it. lol did I mention you should have wiped it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] garpunkal:
All I did was root... that shouldn't affect the OTA, especially as the OTA unrooted my device anyway!

I'll wipe now and let you know the outcomes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
'

Why did you do this; installed WW latest full blob then the update

Full wipe and then install the Full ICS WW. Thats all that should be needed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] garpunkal:
so if I'm using stock rom and recovery... whats the best way to wipe.. through recovery or just through rom?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514658

OPTION B:

FULL version

In recovery do a full system reset. Delete that mofo.

Then install the Full US ICS zip.

:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] garpunkal:
can I use adb backup to restore all my apps and settings if I go for option B?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
I wouldn't. Atleast not right away. You have an issue. You don't no whats causing it. First Wipe and then reinstall. If after that you can't make the problem appear again, I would do a nandroid, and then attempt the restore of your apps. If no issues; Profit. But if you find issues after you can then restore to the nand and go through your apps one at a time to figure it out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] garpunkal:
ok.

I still can't understand why this OTA on stock (rooted but unmodified) has problems.

I shouldn't have to wipe it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
I have no real answers for you.

But I would assume its cause ICS updates the framework and countless other stuff that can't just be "updated". You would have thought they would have made the OTA auto Wipe. I would have. I could be completely off tho. Maybe its just broke. Lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fonix232:
- No ICS blob currently available

- This is the exact way everyone (I mean, every home user, without development background, etcetera, the "noobs") did it, who got the errors

So basically I did how officially it's done.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

You're wrong. Asus made it in a way it shouldn't affect the system, yet, in some cases it does.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
Well I said I could be wrong. :)

I wouldn't have done it that way.

On other Devices I have if you mess with the framework you have to full wipe. You can't just update. But, really what do I know. Im just a retard truely.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Toast95135:
I bet people (non tech saavy) would throw a fit if the update did a full wipe, even if it had a warning beforehand.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
But I bet they would have still updated. :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] garpunkal:
I swear Asus should fix these problems and they are more OTA updates issues and not the fact I didn't wipe.

Other people must be having these problems?!!?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
I had no real issues with ICS when I was running it. I just preffered OC and UV.

Once a kustom kernel is available I'll switch for good.

That said, there are a few threads with issues. Give a look through the first 4 pages for so.....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] garpunkal:
just reading a few of the other forums threads and loads of people are having these issues...

:( confused why it's not been fully tested...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
lol, you'd have to contact ASUS for that question and then you'd get some engrish answer about highly tested awesome upgrade.

Hello everyone,

I've found an internesting app called permissions denied. There is a free and paid edition available.

With this app you can take a look on a permissions ''required'' for certain app. You can also disable those permissions.

But becasue of that, app needs to be used wisely to avoid any bootloops or force closes.

I've disabled some permissions on Facebook app - they don't need to read/write my sms content.. :)

Hello: My X10 keeps shutting down for no reason. It worked fine for several months then starting shutting down on its own. Is there anything I can use to monitor my cell to determine what is causing it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcb1:
are you overclocked??
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stew32:
No, I decided to never overclock. I'm using SE stock 2.3.3 however, it is rooted. It seems like some updated app is not functioning correctly and started shutting down the phone. I just want to find out what app is causing it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rando991:
Has anyone noticed that sometimes after unplugging the charging cable, the red Charging/Notification Light stays on? It will go out when the screen goes black, but comes back on when you active the screen again. Like the on off has gotten reversed. Rebooting fixes it, but was wondering if something in the charging process is causing it?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rando991:
Stock EL30, Rooted, using Launcher Pro, but saw this on TW as well. It's not all the time. I would mention widgets, but my wife has experienced same with different widgets running. We both have Media Hub, SNSService and the DRMs frozen in Titanium, We both have Lookout and Battery Notifier (Big Text) running...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORDFIRE00:
Pull battery off and leave it off for like 2 mins. Then put it back in and see what happens. As far as ur lookout, uninstall it and replace it with "zoner". Its a lot better than lookout.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinslwc:
Funny you mention this. Both my phone (Marcusant MTD v3, launcher pro) and my wife's phone (cleanGB BML 1.something, TW launcher) do this from time to time. It will usually fix itself without having to reboot, but is something strange. We are both on EI22 based ROMs and still on EI22 modems. I wonder if that has something to do with it...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rando991:
That's right, it's only occasionally that this happens and I too have fixed it by replugging and unplugging the usb cable, but that hasn't worked 100% of the time. Once I thought if you replugged it and let it change to blue after full charge, pulling after this change would fix it, but it didn't work the last time...

Any good?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
It's only a 50mah gain even if it is good, not worth it IMO.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
The thing is I got this phone second hand from EBay $130. Got it broken due to owner says the phone is VERY slow... A rom reinstall fixed that..

The battery is from 5/3/11.. It's almost a year.. Me myself put like 70 cycles on it already. Idk how many cycles he did, but considering 7 months from the previous owner, that must be a lot of cycles prob 200?

A lot of other 1980mAh and other 2430mAh are no where that capacity... I'm just wondering which one I should buy..

1980mAh Andida, 2430mAh gold battery, or this Anker

Or should i get this http://www.ebay.com/itm/GOLD-2430MA...ccessories&hash=item3cbe03dc56#ht_1346wt_1139
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Your battery doesn't even start to decline until around 500 cycles, at least that was the way it was on the iPhone, I'm assuming it's somewhere near the same for this phone if not more.

If all you need is a stock battery I would go with a trusted one that you know for sure won't fry your phone. I think T-Mo sells G2x OEM replacement batteries on their site, and also Seidio makes an Innocell 1750 mah which is no bigger than stock, don't know if it is better than stock but it is 10$ cheaper and I trust seidio a lot more than Andida, that gold battery that has no brand, or anker.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
Right now my battery running ICS at 1.52Ghz last around 7hours?

Around 4 hours screen(MIN Frequency when screen off) off 3 hours screen on with wifi browsing web. No texting nor phone.

No sync

And I think that's terrible. I'm not even texting, or syncing my google acc.

Seidio is pretty expensive

G2x OEm sell for $50
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Seidio is 40 and OEM is 50, for a reason.

The battery is due to ICS, the ICS roms have not been optimized yet and thus you will face problems such as bad battery life, bad memory consumption, etc...

Try it on a GB rom, such as Eaglesblood which has been known to give exceptional battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
Actually I'll run the AnTuTu Tester for battery...

this reduces error. As signal changes when I go different places... I'll compare my score with everyone's else. :O
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Okay, but trust me, ICS is the reason you're having bad battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
I'll switch back to GB tonight and see how it is...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
Can't decide between EB or HFP :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
I think they're basically the same, but EB looks like stock Gingerbread while HFP has some nice customization's to it's UI (that may lower battery life.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
Went back to GB. Tried it for 90minutes.. My battery drain is a lot less. o_o

Though, I miss ICS. :|
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Told ya, haha.

In time, ICS battery life will probably poop on GB battery life. Just be patient.

Hey ive been toying around for Widgetlocker for almost an hour. I placed a couple zip files in the themes directory, ive even also unzipped the zip files in the themes directory, and when i go into widgetlocker (even by pressing refresh themes), i can only select from the default 5 themes..

Anyone run into this problem? When i try opening the zip file from my file manager, it says no file is associated to zip (and my search to associate it was futile aswell). I was able to download a zip from the browser, then i opened it with Widgetlocker, and i was in the tool mode but still couldnt find the theme. (i saw in a youtube video a person got a popup to install the theme when widgetlocker opened, something I never got)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
When you place a theme in sdcard/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/themes

you do not unzip any of the files widget locker reads them only as zip files.

You can get the stock 1500 mah battery for about £8.50 (pounds sterling), maybe cheaper where you are from an LG official supplier (check your country's LG website for a parts supplier).

These 1980/2430 batteries really are hit and miss btw. As long as you accept that you may get a rubbish one, or you may get a good one.. then cool.

This may be of interest to us AT&T users who have been throttled. Thought I'd share.

Essentially guy wins against AT&T in small claims court since a class action is not allowed. He won $850.

http://articles.businessinsider.com...7_1_data-plan-data-users-smartphone-customers
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Very good news!

Perhaps AT&T was too late by pulling their unlimited plans, they got too many customers already with these plans.

As we know when there is one, there are many, so let's see how AT&T gonna screw us more because of that. quiet frankly I'd rather have slower (decent, even 3G would suffice) speed all along, rather then have maximum LTE speed half of the month before I get into 5% and then dialup the rest.

Also this one funny: "it's all you can eat crack, until you like a lot of crack, and then you gotta pay more" - nice analogy

http://youtu.be/4o5kBC8Alp8

I think I already posted this somewhere else, but just to recap:

Last month on 15th I received a warning text message that I'm getting close to 5%, I was at 7gb (no LTE). On 23rd with no notification they throttled me to 10kb/sec or less, I had to refresh every site several times before they open without timeout...so one week I was on dialup.

Beginning of month they added LTE in our area and on 17th I got same text message while I was only at 3gb!!!! On 23rd I checked my account and guess what? It said I was at 760mb... My billing period ends on 2nd of the month, so either they dropped a ball, or the usage reset was due to me trying out HSPA apn setting for one day between 17th and 23th...coincidence?

P.S.

I wonder ever since I got first 5% warning message the current usage number under my account are showed in red all the time, even when it's 0, I'm pretty sure before they were green...is that indicates I'm in their **** list?

I have been having issues with my touch screen on my evo. I dropped it in water a while back for like 5 seconds but I dried it and it worked fine till today. I have a band across the bottom that wont register touches. I took it apart, and tested it and it worked, but when I put the screws back in it quit again. pixels are fine, just touch. And when I get it to work, If I put the back cover on it quits, and sometimes if i press the back of the phone it registers touches on the front...weird right?

I actually have been having some problems too. Started about a month ago. Nothing to do with water though. I came across some people talking about this in the following link...

Theres nothing really you can do except try to get a replacement and hop they dont figure out it took a swim.

If you cant find the answer , it basically states that the Evo 3D has a defect with its touch screen. Im actaully unrooting mine now to take it back to best buy (where I took out my insurance plan). Much better that Sprints coverage. Its a few dollars more a month and you have to provide a credit card but so work it.

Hope this helps a little.

[HTC EVO 3D] jclendineng:
Hmm I got my evo off eBay. They won't replace it if I don't have a sprint account correct?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
What carrier do you use the device on? If Sprint, they might be willing to look at it. Actually, whatever carrier you are using for service on the device *might* be willing to take a look at it for free. If not, they might be willing to take a look at it for a specific charge/estimate fee.

Really depends on the store/technician as to what they're "willing" to do.

Otherwise, sounds like you have experience taking the device apart and experimenting. Might be worth getting a new digitizer off ebay and swapping.

Although, before you start throwing parts at the issue, would be worth hoping you can find more details. Unfortunately, most users swap the devices out for replacements so many hardware issues don't get a lot of attention for troubleshooting.

The only thought which occurred to me that wasn't covered in the previous posts was the issues sounds almost as if a short/ground was being created somewhere registering the false touches for a particular area. Perhaps the cable is crimped or being pinched in some area?

Hope that helps and keep us updated! Good luck!

Ive got your answer guys! its the screen digitalizier had the same exact problems for months to the point of throwing it, sometimes i would put a new rom on it and it would fix it for a couple hours and then it would come back I called a cell phone repair place in st louis called. CRP they have local shops and a website you can send it in. It takes about 2 hours if you have a shop around you or send it off. Call around to see if you have any cell phone repair shops near you Ok by now, you guys are dieing too know the price right, $89.99 plus tax for local repair was my price. Beware you can buy this part from amazon with a kit for $25 and theres video guides online too but unless your use to this kind of work ,pay for a shop to do it or buy the whole lcd screen which is over a hundred dollars anyway. I hope my advice helped you guys because im so happy to have my 3vo running like new again.
