Sorry, I'm not hysterical, but i can't hear this is a feature.

It's a reply without sense at all, placed there for unknown reason.

To say that the phone becomes too hot is absurd, because a Gps can run for hours and hours, is its specific way to work and the reason for which it was invented.

I feel teased from this reply.

My attitude isn't discouraging.

i just searched the thread you are linked, but the problem is different

that method increases the performance and is based on agps

in my case i have to disable Agps, and not overperforms it to get faster the fix or to find more satelites.

And like i said before, is not only one case, but probably most of 2011 xperia have this issue, officially recognized by Sony.

Now is better to reply here only if someone has got interesting informations about the bug.

Other post will be reported to moderators and deleted.

Interesting informations #1 - You are asking questions in the General forum instead of Q&A, This means you have a bug or a feature??

Hi, Does anyone know of a way to enable the long press of the power key to restart/reboot the phone? ( without upgrading the android version )

Right now if I long press the "phone options" menu pops up but it never actually reboots like my Galaxy Mini running 2.3.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Came across Six-Guns on Google Play. Downloaded it and discovered it's completely Play optimised. I've only had a quick play but it seems like a pretty decent Red Dead Redemption clone.

It's free but unfortunately seems to be a pay2win type game
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
Thank you kindly
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Nice!

Only problem is that the right touchpad seems to trigger rolling and shooting at random times... that could get to be a real problem.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Ahh so it controls just like that pile of **** Splinter Cell
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Naaaah, its WAY better than splinter cell even with those few issues. Aside from those little screw-ups, it plays like gameloft's *good* shooters.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Michealtbh:
I noticed this also happens with the on screen controls
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] romcio47:
Anyway another sh*tty optimization, I hope they will improve controls in next releases
[HTC Incredible S] MrSenne:
Hello,

Since I've bought my Incredible S about 8 months ago, I've been experiencing this problem. Somethimes, when I'm writing a message, there is 1 letter that doesn't work, if I press on it, it chooses the letter besides it. If I exit the app and reopen it, everything is fine. So its only the keyboard that's acting weird.

I had this on the standard 2.3.3 and 2.3.5 and now on 4.0.3 with the Virtuous Quatrro ROM.

Now I'm using the default ICS keyboard, on Gingerbread I used Better Keyboard.

Does anyone know a sollution?

Just to notice, my phone was send to HTC for repair somewhere around Octobre last year, and they replaced the whole front, including the screen. 2 weeks before that, they replaced the motherboard. So I still had the problem after the repair. And I think it's not software related, bevause it's just when I'm typing something, and not when I'm scrolling trough menu's or something like that.
[HTC Incredible S] SandySemenov:
Had the same problem. And I have a solution: don't notice it :)

I know its irritating sometimes, but that's not a real problem, so take it easy ;)
[HTC Incredible S] MrSenne:
Well, half the times I'm writing a message there is at least one key not working, and I have to reopen the app, it's quite frustrating... :(
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
I have had that problem with my mum's Wildfire S as well.

But then i realized that the phone had not been rebooted in a while.

Restarting the phone did the trick so i assumed that there were too many programs running in the background.

However, now after i guess a couple of months, the problem still persists albeit at a very minor stage.
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Either lock the screen then unlock it. Or reboot the phone.

Both methods work for me when I get this issue. I use the lockscreen when I need my phone but if I've got a 5mins spare ill reboot.
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
The funny part is when this issue occurs, sliding the lock screen also seems impossible
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Then lockscreen and unlock it again and all is fixed? ..... when I have issues with lock screen I just lock and re-unlock then it fixes it.

Does that work for you?
[HTC Incredible S] MrSenne:
Locking and unlocking the lockscreen helpes, but there has to be a permanent sollution for this right?
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Not that I know of. ....are you using just stock lockscreen etc or do you have 3rd party apps like widget locker?
[HTC Incredible S] MrSenne:
The stock ICS lockscreen.
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Ahh. Could try a clean install of a different rom see if it happens? Tbh I'm just learning to live with it I get it once a week even less than that sometimes.
[HTC Incredible S] MrSenne:
I get it like 20 times a day so it's pretty annoying..
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Ahh then I honestly have no idea. I get it nown and again so it doesn't bother me too much.

All I can say it maybe try a different rom or kernel. Other than that I'm unsure maybe something internally it knackered as a worst case scenario.
[HTC Incredible S] shiftyllama:
I had this problem aswell. It started out in the same way as yours just being a tad un responsive, but slowly got worse. What it turned out to be was that digitizer was faulty as I replaced the digitizer myself and the problem was solved. As you say that the screen etc has been replaced before this could well be the case. I would recommend getting in done professionally as it isn't an easy job. Look on the market for a touch screen test app and see if you have any dead spots.
[HTC Incredible S] m4rk84:
i've had the unresponsive lockscreen issue when using cm7 and cm7 based roms, then today i checked set cpu and i had a profile for screen off - a low clock speed with conservative governor. Changed to interactive and slightly high clock speeds and dont seem to be facing the issue any more....at least its been okay for the past 6 hours...hope this helps :-)
[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
I find if you lock the phone and wipe the screen until it's nice and clean it fixes this problem. It could be caused by a buildup of finger oils on the screen, or from your face after making a call. Not to sure though.
[HTC Incredible S] SandySemenov:
I don't think its a reason, coz I've never heard about dirty screen lockscreen problems :)
[HTC Incredible S] suaji:

CWM in recovery?

Are you running from CWM app or using CWM in recovery mode? I always boot into recovery mode before flashing ROMS - it seems to be the most reliable way.

Also make sure you clear your caches before flashing the ROM (there's lots of posts in the development section about this) Hopefully a few searches in there will help you find a solution. Good luck!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weng_cas:
yes i am running cwm in recovery mode. i even did the proper way to wipe. format/system, format/data, format/cache. but still the problem occurs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempusFudgeIt:
And you must be rooted, so shouldn't have permissions error. Try running a permissions fixer like SU Update Fixer (free on Market), then retry flash, to see if that helps?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gedster314:
What are you currently running for a Rom and Kerenel? I have had this happen a couple of times on Epic4GT. There are some compatibility issues with various versions of CWR and how the rom was packaged.

The first version of Checkrom I tried failed on me too. Then last night I decided to try again and it worked. I was on a stock KK2 rom with Abyss 4.2 kernel and one of the Touch CWR and it worked fine for me this time. Maybe try flashing the Abyss Kerenel and then try flashing the Checkrom again.

Edit

Clear Cache and Delvic cache (under Advanced) before flashing a kerenel. I have seen boot loops if you do not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weng_cas:
there's a new rom CheckROM NoteHD™ v6 i will try this instead. maybe this will work..hopefully!

I was tempted to let the update go through to see what it did, but I'm currently driving from San Francisco to yuma, AZ and need my phone for navigation/music purposes and didn't want to kill my phone for the rest of my trip if something went wrong.

I am curious to know what it does though, if anyone's brave enough to risk losing root, or updates by accident :-)

Hi guys, I'm wondering if i should get this transformer prime tablet. I've been reading alot of reviews thats its amazing and i don't doubt that, but also have been reading about the issues its been having (Wifi, GPS, Reboots). So im not sure if i should go ahead and make this purchase. Im posting in this thread cause obviously its about the tablet so you guys if not all many should own one. I would highly appreciate any feedback or recommendation from your part. Thanks in advance :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Okay, first, there are a TON of threads on whether the Prime is a good tablet to buy. Searching and browsing is strongly recommended.

Second, that said, I'd say that if you want to use it in your car as a GPS device in place of your smartphone or a dedicated navigation unit, then don't get it. If you don't, then get it--you'll love it to pieces.

Well I have been all day searching and reading other posts, and yeah i'm more inclined in getting it now. About the GPS i don't really use it on my phone either so its not a big deal.

My WiFi on my prime is better then my Inspire 4g, my Toshiba Thrive(all plastic) and my desktop running a 3 external antenna setup. I haven't seen any of the other issues that people talk about in my C1 serial Prime so idk what all the fuss is about.

Basically, if you have to use the prime at a location with very weak wifi signals, it might be a bit worse than other devices. Otherwise, wifi works great.

Hi all

Hello to fellow desire S users and XDA teams... Im just new to the desire S, but have a galaxy s, so Im not new to flashing a Rom, but I know the proces is very different on each phone.

While I can understand the process of flashing the Desire S rom (read up on it basically :) ), Im not sure how the versions of the RUUs are titled, so what is the latest UK stock ROM for the S.

My phone is supposed to be Virgin UK, but from what I can tell in the settings its actually unlocked: Carrier :- No information".

Many thanks and Respect to the devs

Night
[HTC Desire S] NightOrchid:
OK... Ive been reading around the forum..

There are quite a few links to different lists..

Im sure ill find it.
[HTC Desire S] Saipro:
I'd prefer you make a "Gold card" prior to flashing an RUU unless you're up to the task of recovering from a soft-brick. Beyond that, it really doesn't matter whichever RUU you flash

NB: I've flashed most RUUs aside the Chinese ones - without a Gold Card. Don't know if I've been having a lucky run but my phone was bought off the open market (unbound to any particular carrier). If that helps.

Edit: And here's a direct link to the ROMs (as hosted by XDA member Football)

[HTC Desire S] NightOrchid:
Thanks for the reply.. I wasnt sure whether that question was a bit of a "Thats been answered so many times on here" kinda one, so I figured no one would reply.

I did a OTA update last night and my Software Info says:

Android: 235 / Sense ver: 3.0 / Software No: 2.13.351.6 / Kernel: 2.8.35.10...Fri Oct 7 2011 / Baseband: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M,

it looks like theres a newer 235 out now.

I also tried both Orange UK and O2 UK SIM cards and both recieved a signal, so it looks like it is Virgin software installed but the phone itself is unlocked.

So Ill look at a more uptodate EU / UK firmare.

Many thanks and, I am new to the Desire S, so any other advice would be great

EDIT:

Do I have the latest one... File factory says their EU one (1month, 2 weeks) is 2.10.401.9.. is that correct?.
[HTC Desire S] mountain_maniac:
Which RUU

I have a Vodafone branded HTC desire s. I need a RUU to downgrade HBOOT, but I only see one option for RUU, which is RUU_Saga_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03. I know this RUU is for Vodafone, but I'm scared of using it incase it changes my radio, i understand it shouldn't make it unusable, as its still on Vodafone, but I don't want to break my phone. My current radio version is 3822.10.08.04_M.

Any Vodafone users used this RUU? Success stories please :-D And any helpful comments :-)
[HTC Desire S] bjlabuk:
If you look at the Software No.the third group of numbers stands for the version:

Example 1.28.401.1, 1.47.401.4, 2.10.401.4, 2.10.401.5, 2.10.401.8

401 - clean European unbranded version

405 – World Wide English generic version

720 - version for India

707 - Asian version

111 - T-Mobile version

206 - O2 UK version

etc....

Going by you latest OTA your software No is 2.13.351.6 which would suggest that 351 stands for the Virgin UK version.

When using RUU’s (ROM Upgrade Utilities) they will only upgrade the Image version from one with an older Software Number to one with a newer Software Number. They will not downgrade (which I guess is why they are called what they are!) .

To downgraded your Hboot you need to look at the developers section where you will find plenty of guidance.

bjlabuk
[HTC Desire S] NightOrchid:
Looks like mine is outdated then. Many Thanks for the info bjlabuk. Ill make up a Gold Card. I also noticed My radio version is the same as EU 401, so thats great.

Is there any other download links apart from File Factory.. 28k/s (5 h) what a nightmare.

Also, Ive noticed my memory is quite full - only 125MB left.. Is that normal? I thought it had 768MB.

On the galaxy S, you can boot into a recovery mode to erase the Cache and OS partition and to remove old OS files, does the Desire S have something like that, Is that why my RAM is filled up, old files?.

Thank you. I also wish to know if using the RUU listed In my previous post will mess with my radio, or will it not matter as it is still Vodafone?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hangampalli:
I'm been playing with ICS Roms on my captivate for the past few days (Team ICSSGS and Dark Knight ICS) and for a while, everything works perfectly. Installs fine, smooth, but after a while of customizing and installing apps, the phone starts going to hell.

I start to get all these force closes, app's don't open and then when I reboot the phone, it just doesn't go past the boot animation. (remember this is post install) I've wiped user data/installed other roms and I'm still having the problem.

I'm also experiencing these bugs which may or may not be related:

- Market/Play Store only allows me to download one app after a time. If I try to install more than one, I get a "Invalid package file" error.

- I get a message in the notification area that says I have low space (which isn't true)

- Also, when I was playing Modern Combat 2, all of these things in the background started force closing. Some were apps (widgets, gtalk, etc.), most others were background processes.

I understand this all alpha/beta builds, so bugs should happen, but I haven't seen anyone else report it. (unless I missed it....went through more than 50 pages)

Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong.

FYI, was coming from Serendipity Froyo Rom. I used GB bootloaders from here:

If all you see as real development is aokp and cm, you arent paying attention. BAMF Paradigm is 100% aokp free and 99% cm free.

The only things we borrowed was the T9 dialer and some of the cm overclocking settings.

If you have used it, you know it is a clone of neither. Aokp has more cm code in their rom than we do.

I am sure there are other original roms out there as well.
