I meant battery life genious

---------- Post added at 06:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 AM ----------

Mine lasts at most 1 day. With no games, only emails. I wanted SXS to be different. No apple, no samsung. Kinda realised coming from 4s and s2 why people those phone's. I agree that s3 is ugly and SXS is beautiful, but whats the point of having a phone that discharges so quickly. At least my battery life is horrible
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kartikganesh:


Here are a few tips that have really improved my battery life:

Disabled the com.sonyericsson.android.wakelock feature

Not using the stock charger. Used my BB/Samsung charger. Quick charge=Quick Drain !!!

Closing all the running apps before I sleep.

Disable "Auto-Sync"

Delete unwaned apps which I downloaded when I first got the phone (Trust me, there were many)

Use my 3G on an hourly basis to check if I received any messages on Watsapp/FB/Twitter. then disable it.

Force stop "google services framework".

Keep the brightness at 20%.

No launcher.

Upgraded to 6.1.A.2.45.

Disable "Bravia Engine" - There's absolutely no diff in resolution. U can switch it back on incase u wanna watch a movie

I am an Newbie, no any comments and thanks would be appreciated :D

This is a thread where I have given tips on how one can improve the XPS's battery life :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zed011:
There's no reason the battery life should drop that much overnight with the screen off and the phone on standby.If auto sync is off and gps is off it should only drop a few % overnight.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Ok just leave mine on charge every night, why would you not? Its the best time as you're asleep
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] PhilAd:
i cant share the opinion that xsx has a worse battery life.

i do almost the same like i did with my s2 before ...

- checkin facebook/twitter every 10 minutes :D

- writing like 100 whatsapp msg a day

- sometimes about 15 minutes gaming in my breaks at work

- sync activated (3x email adresses, whatsapp, facebook, twitter, ...)

- 3g activated

- listening to spotify almost the whole day (using my bose mie2 headphones)

- when im home and sitting in front of the television i am surfing the web sometimes

it lasts almost a day. i disconnect from the charger at around 6:30am in the morning and i need to charge it at around 10pm. Sometimes when i do not listen to music it lasts longer.

Its the same like my sgs2 before ... sometimes a little bit earler ... sometimes longer ... on weekends sometimes i do not charge my sxs at night using energy saver and it still lasts half a day before it needs to be charged.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] revan17:
I'm sick of people complaining about smartphone's battery in general. If you can get through the day with a full charge, that's all you really need. Just plug it in overnight while you're sleeping and that's that.

Big phones, big screen, big usage. That's that.

I recommend everyone who complains about the battery, and who wants a smartphone to have battery duration like a Nokia 3310, to try the following; disable all communications, leave just 2G for calls and SMS, no auto-sync, no data, no browsing, no videos, no music, no anything. And don't touch the phone unless you're gonna make a call or send a SMS. Use it just like you would use a 10 year old phone. Then you'll get 3 days easy.

If that's not something you are prepared to do, turn everything on and enjoy everything a smartphone offers and charge the damn thing every night. Charge it 3 times a day if need be. Just stop complaining.

Hello. Anyone knowns how to unpack our tablet boot.img and recovery.img? I tryed many methods, but get errors, I think because its for android phones, not for tegra2 devices. Sorry for bad English.
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
ive been doing it for a while now, this guide is great

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

some of the tool links are broken, you can find them or similar tools by googling around. ive used both tools and the hex editor.

EDIT: just uploaded the tools im using. on linux just drop your boot imgae in the same folder as the tools and do

./extract-kernel.pl boot.img

./extract-ramdisk.pl boot.img
[Acer Iconia A500] Tautvaldas:
does it works for native ubuntu bootloader.img? It seems that netham's recovery.img hasn't ramdisk, when i type ./extract-ramdisk.pl recovery.img then i get:

The boot image does not appear to be a valid gzip file at ./extract-ramdisk.pl line 33.

And when i do like this: # ./unpack-bootimg.pl recovery.img

Then i get: Could not find any embedded ramdisk images. Are you sure this is a full boot image?

But it works as well in boot.img's
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
hm.. not sure where this bootloader.img is coming form, this method should work on both a standard boot image, and recovery image, i have only personally tested on a boot image, maybe try the hex method? see what happens?
[Acer Iconia A500] Tautvaldas:
that bootloader.img is netham's recovery.img who boots Linux natively from sdcard/roots.img. I ask because I wand edit where bootimage boots Linux that it can boots from internal memory like Asus tf101 Ubuntu. Sorry for bad English.
[Acer Iconia A500] leilanifxo:
Really????
[Acer Iconia A500] Tautvaldas:
If it possible unpack recovery and boot images then shoud be possible mount them like filesystem "mount -o loop ubuntu.img /mnt" (but other methot because mount -o loop doesn't works with boot images) that we can see what is inside them before unpacking it. it is possible or I'm wrong?

i want to buy a verizon droid razr in u.s that have english and espanol language support only for my cousin but i need it to be with italian language support ,so i was i asking my self can i flash the verizon razr with an unbranded Eu rom that have ita language support and if yes will it be in 100% working order after the flash or i might experience some problematics ie gsm reception, slower gps fixes or else

thanks

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ectodroid:
Doing that will brick the phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bsweetness:
Yep, it will.

The EU rom is for the EU phone. The Verizon phone is different in several ways, and it is not compatible. Besides that, the Verizon RAZR isn't even GSM compatible at this point. It's CDMA/LTE only right now, so you couldn't get it working natively on any network in Europe anyway.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sewershark:
http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_droid_razr_xt912-4101.php

what are you talking about,in the link above they say its gsm

are you guys sure you are giving me correct information about what i am asking? :-)

if i should brick my phone with this process can i recover and go back with the original firmware unbrcking it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
That link is wrong. If you buy an XT912 Droid RAZR, you will have a very expensive paperweight. You need an XT910. There is no GSM support on the XT912. It has the hardware for both CDMA & GSM, but the GSM portion is disabled just like on the Droid Bionic. And no, due to Motorola kernel signatures and partition sizes, the stock ROMs are not cross-compatible.

Feel free not to believe us, it's your money. :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] sewershark:
what about motorola pro the verizon one and photon are they also without gsm?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hondasr:
You will not brick it simple you cant flash it with rds due signature mistmatch unless you have a unlocket bootloader.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chagla:
droid pro was hacked by TBH i think. gsm radio was hacked and then it was working with tmobile/att.

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/11/17/verizon-blocking-att-gsm-bands-on-droid-2-global/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Photon works just fine, it was designed to be a dual mode CDMA/GSM device from the start. No 900mhz UMTS with the Photon, though (And USSD codes don't work).

Sent from my Motorola Electrify
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sewershark:
you are talking about xt912?so it actually have a sim slot,if yes,unlolcked bootloader is a different thing than entering a code for unlocking the phone i suppose . . .

i still havent got the xt912 ,but i found this guide,will it work for the xt912 too in your opinion?

http://droidsky.blogspot.it/2012/03/tutorial-unlock-bootloader-of-xperia-x8.html
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
The SIM slot in the XT912 is for LTE, not GSM.. And 100% no to the "Will the X8 bootloader unlock work" question. Sony Ericsson are a completely different kettle of fish to Motorola. We've just spent months waiting while Kholk and the Eternity Project devs worked on a bypass, the bootloaders currently cannot be unlocked and likely never will be unless Motorola feel charitable.

I hate to say it, but you seriously need to do a lot more research before you waste your money on a CDMA phone that is no use to anyone outside the USA.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] sewershark:
ok then i wont buy the xt910 because its too expensive,neither the xt912 because it wont work

i am going to consider the htc vivid ,lg nitro or atrix 2

is there a way to recocnize any gsm/almost gsm american phone that will not work in europe without asking each time in forums?maybe there is some kind of updated list somewhere . . .i always bought gsm phones from ebay u.s and they always worked ,guess i had been lucky till now

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] DerpyWebber:
Live Wallpapers?

In general, don't expect much from live wallpapers on the Wildfire (or any other low-spec phone, really). Even if you can get it to run (screen res may be the issue here, it's probably the biggest one with most of the live wallpapers I've used), it will sap your performance (remember, we don't have a GPU!), and (unless it's rather simple), not even run smoothly.

Yeah I guess you're right...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tsmt971@yahoo:
Have anyone tried to install the CMW or root the Transformer Prime by using Blob Tools?

Here are the steps that may be used:

1/ Download the latest build from Asus like WW_epaduser9_4_2_21_updatelauncher.zip

2/ Extract zip file to get the blob then using the tools from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1068548 to unpack it.

3/ Replace the blob.SOS (recovery.img) with the ClockWorkMod recovery v5.8.1.8.img or ClockWorkMod recovery v5.8.2.0.img

4/ Repack the blob then flash SKU and Update version of SOP manually.

Please share your experience if you have tried this way.

If possible I think we are able to put su into the Blob.APP (System.img) to root the .21.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deathmo:
I am no expert in this, but must the update not be right signed with locked bootloader?

If it isnt the Prime refuses to update.

Cause some people have tried to flash kernel this way and the Prime refused to update.

Dont get me wrong.

I dont say that it isnt possibel somehow, but as I said befor. " I am no expert in this. "
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
I agree, this would most likely fail the validation check done by the tablet and not allow it to update. The only way this would be possible would be for somebody to leak the key that is used to encrypt the updates by ASUS and we would then be able to sign anything we wanted (including other ROMS) and have it update successfully without unlocking the device.

If this was possible, it would have been easy enough to just modify a value in one of the files and use the same root method that I created for the first ICS release.

why not use the power button?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jecohi:
Any method? Power button also great... Just tired to use soft button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Most custom roms have this option if you go into camera, then go to settings, then Camera Settings (more), then Power Shutter toggled on On. I have attached my Camera.apk that has this option, but you have to push it to /system/app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jecohi:
Thx dude yeah I can use it

But I found that it is inconvenience to use power button since it will make the phone sleep or even off

So the question is here how can I use volume buttons to capture photos with stock rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FredFS456:
What do you mean using the power button will make the phone sleep? The camera app disables the power button as a 'lock button' when in 'power shutter' mode. When you press the camera button, it just takes a picture and doesn't do anything else. If you want to lock the phone, just press home then power. It's just one more button press.

I had S710e and my mate and I bought it on the same day, same store, same everything.

Still I was unable to O/C over 1.5Ghz and some ROMs weren't stable for me. He (being the bigger nerd,lol) explained that every CPU is differnt and every phone can act little differently when NOT using all stock. HTC has made same phones (even if same S710e) from different parts. Cpu can be made in different factory and so on. Phone is made to be stable in Stock ROM and 1Ghz. If you bypass that you might encounter problems but it is not HTC's fault if you can't O/C.

Bad News?: Gameloft has lost their damn minds!

RS2012 being Xperia PLAY Optimized isn't exactly *new* news, but if you've seen it on the Google Play Store, you probably have also been hit by the "This item cannot be installed in your device's country." prompt. It's now available in the Gameloft Wapshop for the NA region to get! ...and it's actually not a bad game at all!

Not only have they refused to learn the lesson about cheaply taking advantage of the non-SD transferable "data" portion to suck away at our phone storage, and ignored the importance of efficient data consumption; but they've gotten worse than ever.

I halfway don't even wanna add this to the xperiaplaygamer database because that'd inadvertently be like saying this kinda of crap is okay. Fortunate for them, I'm just psyched enough about Xperia Play nearing the 300 game mark to add it anyway. It's really a shame that Gameloft didn't just pack that 40ish MB of fluff on the SD with the rest, because this game really is nice. Great camera angles, smooth controls, EXP/level up system, nice graphics, and even decent voicework for the announcer.

There are games that look AND play better than everything Gameloft ever made that manage to suck from the SD and leave the phone storage alone (save for a couple hundred KBs) why can't Gameloft just follow suit? Surely they're tired of being called incompetent.
