[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fokkeh:
Hi, this morning everything changed again, I decided to give it one more try with the latest Quarx CM9 nightly (20120330), wiped data, flashed nightly.zip, gapps and kernel but waited with the battery. After that I wiped cache, dalvik and battery stats.

Reboot and battery seems alive? very strange. But I don't want the kind of buggy CM9 builds anymore, so decided to put back my 2 hours old nandroid backup, using Restore.

Strangly, battery problem was back again. ****! Than just for fun I did data/cache/dalvik/battery stats wipe on stock, and that did not help either.

Now I am back on CM9 again, but thats running O.K. (battery is working!) but not stable enough for me. CM7 (cannot remember which build) gave the problem as well.

With the latter in mind I think (and thus agree with you) flashing a fresh SBF will probably solve the problem, but I am not 100% sure. I want to be able to put back my stock setup for possible RMA. My stock is 4.5.1.-134_DFP-74 and I cannot find that one on internet. And I cannot put it back to stock otherwise right?

The one Pranks gave you in your post (4.5.1-134_DFP-1321) is that a deblurred one? Because when I put a new one, I would like it to be a deblurred. I hate all the bloatware.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Puckying:
I have no idea, but I think he said it was from his own defy so I am guessing it the complete original blurred thing.

I redid the cm9 flashing too and now at least it is telling me the battery is charging. But it stays stuck at a big battery icon and a red led is on.

Will see if it goes past that screen with a bit more juice.

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

Yessss, it started up!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fokkeh:
All is fixed. I flashed the proposed stock non-fixed SBF and now running stock 2.3.6 without any battery problems. Excellent :) The SBF is rootable.

I removed BLUR by editing build.prop as proposed somewhere on this forum. you have to perform full wipe after editing the build.prop) I am very happy with me new DEBLURRED stock. Titanium can remove other bloatwhere like "cardiotrainer".

Happy :D
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranks1989:
Cardiotrainer however for me is one of the most imp app!! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roughavoc:
So I have a broken home button, not going to repair it anytime soon as I've been using Button Savior Pro along with GB MIUI fine. I only have it so the button is the home button, no menu comes up

The problem however, when I flashed CheckROM V6, when setting it so the icon is the home button the phsyical lock button doesnt work, it either takes a screen shot or does nothing

I then flashed several ICS ROMS, MIUI, Stock ect ect and the same problem

Just want to know if other users are having this problem also, I know very few will even use this app but still worth asking

Thanks Joe
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
Flash cm9 and then onscreen buttons

Thank you :D
[Nexus S General] HAKA:
I know, I know...a useless thread. But I can't control my excitement! :D

Updated my Nexus S i9023 to 4.0.4 OTA provided by Google.

My first impression: Noticeably faster!

Going to cover everything in points:

1. The time lag between clicking & opening menu items is now negligible, just like Gingerbread.

2. The camera from lockscreen loads up faster.

3. The rotation animation is faster.

4. Battery bug is fixed!

5. 3D apps load up faster...

6. Overall a faster & better update by Google.

7. I think Ice Cream Sandwich was not finished until December, but now it feels a finished/polished product.

Pros:

Animations faster

Whole UI is noticeably smoother

Cons:

Launcher still lags

Kernel is updated, but the version is still old.

Old GB sounds

Want to update?

1. Make sure you are on Stock 4.0.3 and you haven't changed anything in the system. If you have...don't worry...flash the 4.0.3 ROM again from here.

2. Download 4.0.4 IMM76D from here.

The OTA package is around 17MB.

3. Boot into CWM. Flash the 4.0.4, Reboot and you are good to go. :)

Update: The ROM is rootable, download this zip and flash in CWM to root.

You'll surely feel the difference. :)

Some snips coming soon.
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Can i flash the full 4.0.3 on my i9023 running CWM?? Last time i did tjat i was hardbricked...

And if i can get over my trauma to do it again.. what do I wipe? Rubbing aokp b28
[Nexus S General] S7icky:
They also fixed MMS on wind mobile if anyone cares :P
[Nexus S General] HAKA:
u must flash this file...and then flash cwm.
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Ok but i have some trauma.. i flash this file in what? Cwm?
[Nexus S General] HAKA:
yes, flash it in cwm, reboot...flash recovery via fastboot method...reboot and flash 4.0.4
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Ok its still downloading.. in the meantime ill pray that it does reboot when i press reboot system now :o
[Nexus S General] Archon810:
Can someone on a T-Mobile Nexus S confirm whether this works or not please?
[Nexus S General] nitrix:
I get error 7 when i tried. Any idea how to get around it? I'm using a i9023 with stock 4.0.3.
[Nexus S General] dls5375:
I can confirm it does work on T-Mobile nexus s.
[Nexus S General] rasengan82:
Interesting no announcement from Google about this? Are we sure this is official?

[Nexus S General] dinos3:
Any benchmark test ? :D

4.0.3 vs 4.0.4
[Nexus S General] thunderrodriguez:
Is there a way of getting this on the i9020a, specifically for Koodo (Telus)?

Since its an update to 4.0.3, would I have to flash that first and then flash this update?

I read in a different thread that I could flash 4.0.3 and then flash an i9020a radio to get the official ROM working.
[Nexus S General] LKNim:
Yes:(

I did it too, have to backup everything on SDCard
[Nexus S General] kcm117:
Does this also mean it will be available for the Galaxy Nexus?!
[Nexus S General] dinos3:
Yes for CDMA/LTE Galaxy Nexus :)

omg google ****ed up again.

to move files to my nexus take hours the speed move is 100-800 Kb
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickwa76:
Hi people. I unrooted my Note using one of Dr Ketans stock roms and PC Odin. All good. Next connected to Kies to see if I could update. Kies recognised the phone but said that by phone can no longer be updated via Kies. Is that how it is after using Odin? Or is there a work-around for that? Or do I have to update with Odin from now on? Or flash myself when the Note update is released. Advice please. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
If your CSC is not set according your region N/OR Your installed ROM is not yet released for your region, Kies won't recognise it.

e.g. In India Kies released ROM is DDLB2, N previosly it was XXKL3, N before that XXKK3

Now

If at present my Installed ROM is one of abve 3 N my CSC is different

OR

My CSC is set to India but Installed ROM is not 1 of above three

Then Kies says same msg as you said.

So to get update via kies /OTA then

My ROM should be 1 of three (DDLB2/XXKL3/XXKK1 for India) as well my CSC should be set to India(INU), Then only i can get it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickwa76:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colega5:
I have been reading the last 3 days forums all over the internet and called a couple of unlock phone guru's but haven't found any form to unlock my wife's xperia play. she passed away a week ago. I need to contact some of her friends and let them know about this.

please if you know a way to unlock it without losing the contacts info it would mean the world to me.

thanks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Typically devices to access that information on a locked phone are very expensive. I don't think there is an easy way to get past the pass lock. If you know her gmail username and password you could input the wrong code until it gives you the option to unlock via the Google account.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
Why does a part of me seem a bit, I dunno, suspicious about this?

Either way, I haven't got a clue...I'd go with what the guy above me said
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordanooo:
When you set a lock.code you have to set a seperate question and answer such as whats your mothers maiden name/ favourite place

If she was your wife you should know this, try doing that
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam3Sixty:
The funniest thing is there was a guy a while back who was asking almost the same question, but it was his son who had been given the phone and had "messed up" the code and now they couldn't get into it.

If you ARE for real, then take the phone to ur networks shop, u will have proof that she was ur wife, and they will be able to help u, I would have thought this would be the first thing u thought of, NOT making an account on XDA and asking here =/

Whats that I can smell??

(Full apology will be given IF this is actually true!)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
I don't think this is fake. I mean, you would have to be a real low life to use a dead wife as a fake excuse.

My sincerely condolences for your loss, friend.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
Surely you can see where Im coming from though. Why, instead of going to a phone shop, has he asked what basically amounts to a hacking website to sort this out?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
Maybe his local phone shops are as useless as ours is. They don't know jack.

And don't call me Shirley! ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:

I know most phone shops are useless.

[HTC EVO 3D] ooonimrodooo:
Right now you can get an EVO 3D for 129.99 plus $5.00 shipping at Cowboom.com.

It's their deal of the day. I have personally bought two EVO 4Gs from this site recently. One for me and one for my wife. They arrived in great condition. There were no cords or anything with them, but I'm not complaining. You dont get stuck signing a contract and you still get a great phone for cheap.

[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
Not a refurb though, hence no cords/charger or anything with it. These are just used phones they are getting rid of.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuegeaux:
I would like to partition my SD card in order to take advantage of memory tweaks like link2SD and dalvid2cache. I have read that you can use tools like Minitool partition wizard as well as some that are installed when you root your phone. Is there any way I can partition my SD card without having to take it out of the phone? It is kind of a pain to remove covers on the play just to get to the SD card. Besides, I worry that I might break the cover.

Also, I read somewhere that link2SD required non nand-locked (or S-off) to work. Is this true? Does this even apply to the play?

btw, I am using a rooted, stock 2.3.3 R800at
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonKnight13:
Mount the sdcard to Windows & run Minitool Partition Wizard. Resize the FAT32 partition & make an EXT4 partition of any size you'd like. Unmount it from from the PC & run Link2SD.

Link2SD doesn't require S-OFF for the Play.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuegeaux:
To mount it, is it just the normal state when you plug in the usb cord to the PC? ie, mass storage mode? or do I need to unmount the sd card in settings somewhere first. Just want to make sure I get the order right.

What would a good size ext4 partition be on a 16 gb card?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonKnight13:
Mass storage mode is fine. Doing so in CWM is probably better though since the OS isn't trying to access anything.

2~4GB should be fine.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuegeaux:
Can I use CWM if I only have root? I haven't done anything other than just root via zergrush and use titanium to backup/remove a few apps.

Also, on sort of a side note, is there any program that will sync the contents of my SD card (all of them) with a corresponding folder on my PC? I know SD cards can die on you, so I would like to perform this sync on a regular basis to try and prevent phone throwing when the SD card dies.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savage24x:
ROM Manager.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuegeaux:
I hate to be the guy that asks a lot of questions that should be obvious, but how does ROM Manager answer my above questions? I hope that doesn't come across as rude, I meant it from my ignorant standpoint. I looked up the app on Google Play, and it sounds like it is used for backing up your current ROM, loading new ones, and a couple of other ROM related features.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonKnight13:
If you get CWM installed, you can mount the sdcard while in recovery.

Use SyncToy to do the syncing

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuegeaux:
What's the difference between Rom Manager and CWM? Thanks again!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonKnight13:
ROM Manager = Android app that works with CWM. Installs CWM on phones that support it. Xperia Play isn't supported for CWM installation from the ROM Manager but the other features within it do work.

CWM = recovery image that boots when invoked via ROM Manager or at the bootloader/kernel.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuegeaux:
Ah, so I use Rom Manager to invoke CWM-like functionality, one of which is to mount SD card when the system is able to access it, right?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonKnight13:
No... you need to get into recovery mode to access CWM properly. The ROM Manager can reboot the phone to get into that mode.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuegeaux:
I downloaded ROM Manager from the market. I see two options in ROM Manager that I think are what you are talking about. The first one is under Recovery->Reboot into Recovery. The second one is Utitilities->Partition SD Card. Can I just check the Parition SD Card option or do I need to Reboot into recovery first? Also, above Reboot into Recovery, there is an option which says "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. You must have the ClockwordMod Recovery installed to flash and restory ROMs!" But you said that the Xperia Play does not support this. I assume that I don't need to do this. (but, for future reference, I can't use ROM Manager to flash ROMs, right?)

First off, do I even need minitool Partition wizard if ROM Manager will do it for me using the Partition SD card option? Will that let me do ext4 as well as FAT32 and select differing sizes?

Second, if Partition SD card will not do what I want it to do, or do it fully, then what are the steps to do? My thought is plug phone into PC. Use ROM Manager to reboot into Recovery (using ROM Manager option). Once PC detects SD card, use Minitool Partition wizard to reformat/partition SD card with FAT32 for main portion and EXT4 for seperate portion for Link2SD use.

Will EXT4 also work for the dalvik2cache tweak?

Sorry for all of the questions and thanks again for all the help!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonKnight13:
You need to have CWM installed that's made specifically for the Play. It CAN'T be installed from the ROM Manager.

Use this app to install it

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler

The Partition SD Card option will erase everything on the SD card & it creates a small EXT2 or EXT3 partition. I don't recommend using it.

Use the Minitool & do as I recommended earlier on...

Don't mix dalvik2cache with any sdext script... I recommend using Link2SD or mount2SD apps for utilizing the ext4 partition to move the dalvik-cache.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuegeaux:
I will test these things out when I get home today, or maybe this weekend if I can't find free time before then.

One thing I noticed when I went to the thread mentioned in the Xperia CWM app is that in big red letters it says "Do NOT use this recovery if you are not using stock 2.3 firmware". I guess that means when ICS comes out from Sony, we won't be able to upgrade through ROM Manager, right? This also means that going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 would be okay using this version of CWM, right?

Also, if I wanted to upgrade to a 2.3.4 build, then ROM manager is the way to go, right?

Thanks again!!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonKnight13:
I can't use the ROM Manager with ICS until something changes. Upgrading through CWM is always possible though, just as long as you know that spamming the home key (about 10 times) at system startup will get you into it.

Yes, ROM Manager/CWM Recovery can take care of any upgrades that don't involve flashmode or fastboot mode (ftf, img, & sin files).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuegeaux:
Thanks again for all of your help. I find myself having more questions about ROMs, but that is kinda hijacking my own thread. Plus, I don't think I am ready to flash any ROMs just yet. I don't know, it just makes me kinda nervous doing that, plus it is a big pain having to redownload all of my apps and setting things up again.

I will try and partition my SD card soon and report back with the results.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonKnight13:
Use Titanium Backup to capture all of your settings with the apps. Quite simple to achieve.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuegeaux:
All right, so I finally repartitioned my SD card. I had to use FAT32 for the second partition because Link2SD did not recognize the EXT4 partition. I did make the mistake of not putting it as primary, but I fixed this and it still didn't work.

It looks like all is working, but I can't seem to link the davlik cache over, though it acts like there is none. Could I clean up the davlik cache and would that make any problems? It just seems like there is still a lot of memory being used and I can't figure out where it is coming from.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leafwarbler:
connect your sd card to computer and use minitool partition wizard to partition your card. it is so convenient and easy to operate.

I have a defy with a red lens that was running cyanogenmod 7.1. I hadn't used it in a while and when I started it up it was having multiple issues that reflashing didn't fix. I followed some bad advise from another site and tried to flash back to TMO official froyo rom. obviously that screwed up my phone and now I am stuck in a boot loop. What I need to know is what rom i can safely flash to and then be able to reroot and flash back to cyanogen or another custom rom.

Ive tried both Rogue and Roach's recoveries.

Every time i backup and restore (i wipe first), it is always successful.

Upon a reboot, it hangs at the very first Asus screen, never gets to the animation.

Ive always had success nandroiding my hero, nexus and evo 3d but cannot get a restore to work on my Transformer.

Kinda frustrating but im getting good at starting fresh. (Fast anyways)

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acdcking12345:
After you restore the backup, then flash a kernel. That will allow it to boot up normally..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongzilla:
Is that the proper way to restore?

I realize that will probably work as I have to fastboot flash boot.img every rom change on my 3D

That means I need a flashable zip of each kernel of every nandroid I make in order to restore? Or fastboot the kernel.

There has to be something I'm missing or an easier way.?

Anyone?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
The only time you need to flash a kernel would be restoring back to HC from ICS as CWM doesn't restore the kernel. I have been jumping from ROM to ROM testing which one I like and no problems nandroid restoring my backup. I'm using Team Rouge version recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongzilla:
I have some weird issues then.

I'm assuming the best bet for me as of now would to restore then immediately flash the rom on top of the restore.
[HTC One X] Cicinho:
Whats the difference? I just ordered the one X but discovered there is a one XL forum. Is that just a different variant of it like Samsung did with the first Galaxy S ranges or is it a different phone?
[HTC One X] twistedh:
Google it man :-)

The one xl is essentially the one s with the dual processor but bigger and has LTE a.k.a 4g Internet
[HTC One X] Cicinho:
Thanks man. Last sentence was all I needed to know.
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
And you should have done the first sentence lol
[HTC One X] bimmerboii:
Not only a difference in processor but storage as well. One X comes with 32gb while One XL comes with 16gb
[HTC One X] orb3000:
Regarding what the benchmarks says about s4 being faster than tegra 3. dual cores are on the way out...
[HTC One X] Cicinho:
It took 2 seconds for twistedh to respond to me and tell me what he already knew. I did google it but it brought up a lot of crap and there was no x v xl reviews. I did not want to read through the individual specs of both phones and compare them myself as I did not have the time.

Not only will this thread serve helpful for other members who come here and have the same query. It saved me a bit of time hunting down both phones specs and twistedh had no problem taking 2 seconds out of his time to tell me what he already knew.

Why dont you just relax. I know the same topic appearing can be a pain in the ass but I did not see this topic anywhere else in the forum.
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Was no offense at all.. Sry if it looks like it was one.

I am relaxed for sure.

But you know these guys preferring to ask everything little peace which they want to know instead doing a little google search... I hate those guys somehow.

If I really want to know something I am doing some research and then I ask here :)

Again it was no offense, if you picked it up as one I am sorry man.

For the reasons you have I understand you for sure.

Which one will you get now btw.. One x right?!
