I can't recommend wiget locker high enough for using the volume buttons or camera button for waking the phone - works perfectly.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 3Shirts:
Not necessarily true. The Nexus S home buttons were capacitive just like the Xperia but CM9 had an option to wake the device on with them.

It may well be just as possible on the Xperia, just needs someone to make it work like the CyanogenMod team did with the Nexus S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] floepie:
Wouldn't that be an additional drain on the battery to keep those buttons active during standby? Wake by volume keys would be far more useful, and do-able.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Booomber:
Power button - camera button - volume buttons... meh... it's still not the same as home button :P

It's more natural to press home button and then unlock the phone...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hadramos:
I agree and that was the bottom of my subject :)

If is done with the Nexus S, we must be able to do for our Xperia S...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] scottiepp:
I like using volume button because I can wake the phone up by one hand. With my small hand now press the power button by one hand is not comfortable.

Double click on volume button would be good too.

Can you try using another launcher ro check if volume buttons are responding when screen is locked...

Does anyone have any ideas what i can use to be able to get this data on my pc? Seems a ball ache having internal hard fixed memory!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitcherj:
Hey All,

I'm a Sprint Nexus S 4G user/Nook Color user, been around for a while, I've flashed a number of custom ROMs to my devices so I've been around the block a few times when it comes to doing all of this.

I'll be receiving a AT&T SGH-I987 (7" Galaxy Tab) soon, so I figured I'd start doing some research on the subject of installing custom ROMs on it so that I'm well informed before I blow it up.

I'm not an AT&T customer, so I'll probably just use the Wi-Fi capabilities of the device for the time being (unless Sprint upsets me and I move to a GSM carrier).

I'm fairly certain the device will be in stock condition when I receive it, so let's make that assumption for the time being.

I presume the first thing I'll do is check whether it's running 2.2 (Froyo) or 2.3 (Gingerbread).

If it's running 2.2, I'll want to check to see if the bootloader is signed/locked, and if it's locked, I'll need to unlock the bootloader using the patch here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=888071

If it's running 2.3, it sounds like I can pretty much just root the device with the following guide and go from there.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=812367

After that, I'm wide open to flash pretty much any ROM from what I can tell.

I've got enough Android devices around, so I was thinking about buying the media dock for this one and leaving it connected to the TV as a web browsing device, amongst other things.

Because of that, I'll probably try (though it will take some serious self control) not to throw Ice Cream Sandwich (AOKP or CM9) on it - keeping in mind that TV out isn't yet working in either of these ROMs (the biggest reason to go the ICS route would be for the bluetooth keyboard/mouse support...).

Looks like as of January 2012, Overcome 4.1.0 supports HDMI output, so at least I'd be able to get it up to 2.3.6.

Any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas the community can throw my way?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Sounds like you have it covered. If you start at teamovercome.net you can get the stock safe gingerbread, tools, and instructions. The stock safe gingerbread is rooted and has the CWR in the kernel. From that base you can go anywhere.

When I try to flash the overcome kernel v4.0.0 tar file, odin reported fail and

I can't boot the tab (I think I soft bricked it) the screen only showed a figure of cellphone and a pc with an exclamation inbetween.

Hey All,

Everything went well!

One small hangup that may be helpful to others - when the instructions on the teamovercome page say to "sync with kies at least once" - you don't have to transfer data or anything, it just means have kies open, connect the tab, and make sure the drivers install successfully.

The bootloader patch went well - my device only allows installing signed firmwares, but that's fine.

Ran with teamovercome 4.1.0 for a while, but decided since I don't have a dock with HDMI for it yet that I'd give humberos a try.

Very simple install - copied the three zips to internal storage, flashed with CWM as instructed, boom.

Very nice guys, thanks for all of your help!

the transition is good gives you a feel of ICS like feature..especially the music where Google music was in place of the stock player..

When you switch on the tab you are greeted by the overcome logo (nice)

the notification tab was give a nice overhaul and good looking widgets

overall good performace but the gyroscope mechanism seems not to work here..

Hello everyone. Sorry to even waste your time, but I am in need of help with my HTC Vivid. I am on an unrooted, locked bootloader, and I have been trying to upgrade to the newest ICS OTA update that I missed with the dialer code.

I have downloaded the PH39IMG.zip, and it updated my HBoot to 1.85.0024. This is where I am stuck. The phone will only show HTC on startup, and then goes black. Again I am on an unrooted HTC Vivid. Any help would be hugly appreciated. Please help out a simpleton.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
Did you run the PH39IMG file twice? it needs to run the file twice to complete updating the HBOOT. In any case, and this goes for all who are not very familiar with Vivid flashing, USE THE RUU!

In your current state, try to boot into bootloader (you probably already know the process, but it is power + vol down from power off state) Once you have booted into bootloader, you can proceed and upgrade to stock ICS. If you decided to run custom roms after, it is easy and much much less likely to brick your phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bend32:
Hallelujah

Thanks so much guys. Those were helpful tips, and I have ICS running now. Thanks again. Have a good one.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GSLEON3:
To the OP, your device is in no way bricked. Those that say otherwise do not understand Qualcomm architecture & the different layers of firmware.

You are in emergency Dload mode. Something I am very familiar with since I was forcing my device into this mode purposely while working on S-Off a few months ago.

Wit proper & full memory mapping, this can be fixed using a terminal emulator & the Qualcomm Snapdragon developer suite. I won't waste my time, but if you are still having issues & are in Dload still via USB, let me know.

To the naysayers, look up a little old project called FrankenKaiser. I have been in QC_Dload many times & am still using my device today. Much depends on how far the update got & what radio/HBoot & rom version (GB or ICS) you have flashed or partially flashed. I consider you lucky as this is a technical soft-brick.

The trick that is really cool is that from dload, you can write raw data into RAM. Just like I did when fixing Kaisers. If you had the AT&T original rom on your device, you may be in luck, as I have that somewhere between 40 & 60% memory mapped. This allows you to write the SPL from Hboot into ram, making your device think it has hboot, which allows you to then run hboot from ram, using it to re-install a real hboot onto the chip. The downside is that I was working with an S-Off hboot when doing this, but unless QC made some serious changes, it still may work.

Let me know where you are at, if you still have the device & it's status & I will see if I can dig up the S3 memory map. Otherwise, you can sped 30 - 50 & jtag the unit. Either way, you will need to be patient, have some knowledge of arm architecture & adb/fastboot type commands (understand what setting flags means, variables, & basic command (CMD) abilities. You must be precise when loading anything this way or it is big trouble.

Having a device in emergency dload can be a cool thing or a frightening thing depending on your experience. Fortunately, I had a lot of Kaisers & used them to try new things with Oli, Cmonex & Jocky, so I know exactly what it means & what it is doing (looking for). If still there, you can access & give radio commands or even send bytes to radio (rdata), allowing you to unsecure the device radio (2 bytes), which is one step in S-Off.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rajbsn:
Wow!! This is great news! I have a bricked Vivid and when I connect it to the laptop and start QPST tool it shows that it's in Down Load mode.

Greetings everyone!

I've been doing massive 'net research on rooting my MT4G, and the one site that kept popping up was this one. So, I read the 'what to do..' thread and will discover my chipset and such later (my place of employment is (barely) on a 2G network). I've had my phone for 13 mos now without too many problems, running Go Launcher as opposed to Sense, and the Go sms.

Looks like I have some reading to do here, and hopefully with 13 mos or so with this phone I'll be able to lend some advice back.

One thing that troubles me is that in the last few months, I've noticed an increase in the 'Recovered from an abnormal reset' messages. I haven't read everything yet, but if anyone can lend an idea on this one, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks,

You're probably right on the factory reset. I've been pondering that one for a while, and have just been a little lazy about it. Then again I might hold off until I'm decided on whether to root or not, which won't take long either.
