Do you both have the same network operator? I can easily say that my ray has better reception than my girlfriends x10 mini pro. Some exterior phone protections weaken the reception as well.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jurgised1:
Yes - same operator. My Ray has rubber case on it, but I've checked signal strength with it and without it. No real difference.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ridho1:
Try to install newest version of baseband.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jjdoctor:
All I can say it I never saw a mobile like Ray with such good signals... much much better signals than my HTC Sensation and HTC Desire I had previously... in fact gud signals was one of major reasons I got this Xperia Ray
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] desirez_pete:
The Ray has absolutely terrible wifi reception though. It won't even pick up routers when its right next to the phone whereas my Desire Z could from a pretty far distance. Only major let down.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kyrius:
With ICS wifi reception improved considerably.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jurgised1:
Using 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-64 , guess it's the latest one...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] borg17a:
Nope, 66 is the newest baseband! Have a look http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24650629&postcount=15!

I don't know, whether the signal strength is better now, but the batterylife is much longer!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] albagani:
for me,

sometime the signal is great..greater than other devices...

but some other time, at certain area, it has no signals at all while other devices have it although we are using the same network operator...

but i don't really care about it cuz i think the signals is so much better than my previous device...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
My Ray is actually rather poor when going indoor first floor. But once I step outside or going to second floor, it goes 100% instantly.. So..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deviantelf:
I had "dumb phone" Sony Ericsson k850i (which amusingly enough used to be called a "smart phone" lol), an x10 and now Ray and they all get the same signal on AT&T in the same places. Most places I am it's full signal, a handful get less... but has been consistent across devices.

I only used the x10 (not mini or pro) as my main phone for less than 6 months (free upgrade w/ contract for refurbished) and still tinker with it but for my hands I felt it was nifty but big and clunky, so I bought an unlocked Ray (2-3 months ago). I've lived/worked and hung out in the same places, so I figure it's a pretty good comparison.

TLDR: no problems with signal for me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] desaturated:
Yep, my ray is having low signal reception too.. that yellow triangle always appears. I think is a hardware bugs :( to bad. I want too switch xperia P but still don't believe they already fix the bugs for signal prob. and. xperia p is not on coming for ICS in the few weeks later. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] misterhoney:
I've notice while using the cell tower polling monitor of the Llama application that my Ray drops the signal. It shows in the log as Cell: -1:-1:-1 (ignored) No signal/Unknown. I live and work in a big city were the signal strength is very strong and were there are 4 to 6 cell towers all around me (at work or at home).

The lost of signal is very short (a second or two) but actually drop a call once.

I have base band 203028D-64 and running Android version 2.3.4.

Since I don't want to update to version 4.0.3 as there is too many people complaining about lagging problems. I will try to update the base band to 203028D-66 and come back here for results with the Llama log.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
If you can, update to 4.0.4.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] misterhoney:
How's 4.0.4? Is it better than 2.3.4? I don't want my phone to be slower and have problems with WiFi connectivity.

Don' remove Sim Toolkit.apk

I have to reinstall ROM due to signal problem after removing sim toolkit.apk
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] misterhoney:
While searching on how to ugrade the baseband for my ST18a, I came across another thread about this issue on the Sony's Forum.

If you go to Menu - Wireless & network setting - Mobile Network - Network Mode and change to GSM only, it will give you better reception.

I have tested and validated it with the "Network Signal Info" & Llama App.

The reception signal improved dramatically and no drop calls yet.

Notice you will be on the 2G network if you have a Data Plan (which is not my case) but you can always change the network back to WCDMA-GSM when you need faster data download speeds.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] foggyflute:
Ray have average gsm and a little weak wifi. It eat a lot of battery when operate in basement or center of large building.

Not great but not much to complain :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sucker for sony's:
Signal strength all depends on what carrier you use and how many towers they have in the area and also your surroundings.

Hey guys I've been rooting and flashing for a while now but never have really needed to push or install an app to this directory. I'm trying to install the new ics messaging app from the market but can't seem to get it. I'm using root explorer to move it to system/app and I tried disabling the stock messaging app but I always get force closes when I try and click on thread in the new ics messaging app....any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
What ics messaging app?

---------- Post added at 03:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 AM ----------

Anyway to push. U can shutdown phone boot to cwm. Mount system. Open cmd prompt on your pc . And type adb push [ yourfile path and name] /system/app

Then adb reboot

And it sounds like an incompatible app your trying to use.

[General Questions and Answers] MarlonKaye:
My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace.

1. If a phone is running stock ROM and unrooted, how can I wipe the dalvik cache?

Does the 'wipe cache partition' in recovery refer to the Dalvik cache? Does it

clean the Dalvik cache?

2. Are there other caches in my phone that needs 'cleaning' or is Dalvik the only cache in there?

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] dante_07:
Well, I'm not sure, but I think that you need root access to can clean dalvik
[General Questions and Answers] Limitz Cash:
Why do you need to clear the cache? I think you need a custom recovery and maybe root also. I could be wrong.
[General Questions and Answers] psygitt:
Dalvik cache is in advanced menu, in recovery. Maybe you need root, dont know since i first rooted
[General Questions and Answers] Decifra:
There are basically 2 different caches that should be wiped when you are flashing between ROM's (or experiencing issues), the cache and the Dalvik cache. They are accessed from your recovery method (you need root) and depending which one you are using they are accessed differently, the 2 most famous (imo) are clockword and AmonRa. Now, if you are not rooted then the only way to clear your cache is by factory resetting your phone (which will erase everything). I know this clears your data and settings but not sure if it clears all the caches...

It has a lot more functions, as long as you do a little reading on the FAQ's you can't really go wrong.

I need to send my T-Mobile branded DHD to htc for a warranty repair and i need to revert to stock.

I have a couple of questions about that:

1) If i just run a RUU i will still be S-OFF, so what do i have to do before i run the RUU? Something special to do because ENG S-OFF?

2) What about SuperCID? I think i needed to change it during S-OFF Process (i don't remember, sorry)

3) What RUU can i use? I already reverted my HTC Flyer and there i needed the exact RUU which it was delivered with (i think because of the HBOOT version of GB / HC). As i don't know what the delivery Software version was (buyed it when it just came out) i don't know which RUU i need.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
When you say installed base and then essentials do you mean you restored apps use some sort of backup??

When you install the base only restore apps via the market. Do NOT restore any app data!

If you reflash roms and have done a proper wipe then and tried this multiple times with different roms and the same thing happens, it must be a certain app causing your phone to stay awake.

Another thing you can try is delete everything but your essentials on your internal and sd card. Maybe something on there has some settings that is causing problems (very unlikely but no harm in clearing up the sd card or trying it)

Good luck;)

I think that you will find that this is a known "bug" from google source if slim is using android 4.0.3

I suggest that you read the slim ics 3.2 thread or use the search function as you may find that it is a 'feature' of 4.0.3

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blainstorm:

With base and essential i mean the package from slim ics. You have to install first the base and then the essentials in cwm. The apps i installs from play store. I use the 4.04 ics base :-(

I thing it was the shazam widget or beautiful widgets. . .

Thanks a lot for your help. I hope my info will help someone
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karidek:
Drain is caused by a ROM you're using, not restored data etc.

I highly recommend latest CM9 nightly build, I've never seen huge battery life like this ROM.

You can also reduce your apps installed on phone - they are also killing battery by some background processes and similar stuff.

My phone on CM9 after 10-12h (full day) with Wi-Fi and HSDPA on usually has 50% after whole day. I never had similar score on any other ROM before (since Android 2.2).

PS. I've got only 40 apps installed (data from Play Store).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blainstorm:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
For those on glitch make sure you download NSTools from play market and activate deep idle (I think under settings within the app)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blainstorm:
For those on the devil kernel deep idle is possible, too. With ns tools. . . And i think in cwm, too.

Hi Blainstorm,

I have the same problem. My phone, Android OS drain 70% battery use when it stand by.

I see you fixed it. But i have some question:

- You use Titanium Backup to backup and remove all app? or downloaded app?

- How did you reset battery stats in cmw? Can you guide me?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sokre988:
Hello,

I have huge battery drain by android OS too, but I sort of fixed it.

I´m on CM9 ICS 4.0.3 and latest devil kernel 2_0.94

LiveOC-ed 10% and in total OC 1.32GHz, deep idle enabled, some voltages tweaks, smartassV2 governor (sheduler cfq) and this is how much juice I loose over night.

PS. I have also Airplane over night enabled in JuiceDefender.

In first picture:

Signal from mobile network -same as Wi-fi

Wi-Fi -8h15min

Awake -1h58min

Screen On -4min

Charging - /

So, my advice to you is install NSTools and Jucie Defeneder and tweak your settings and you´ll have no problems. ;)

Re: Ics leak tweeks

TO SPEED UP PHONE AND BOOST PERFORMANCE. On the new ics leak.

You must be rooted to do some of these tweeks..

1. Use titanium backup or the app of your choice to freeze or uninstall unwanted or misbehaving apps. You can find a list of apps that come preinstalled (bloatware) that is known to be safe to freeze or uninstall by searching the dev section.

2. Uninstall any and all task killers or task managers. After research I find they do more harm and slow down performance and kill battery life than they help. By freezing or uninstalling misbehaving apps in step one you don't have to worry about apps running in the background eating up your data. And besides ics has a really nice data manager built in.

3. Install apex launcher from the market. I can't explain why but using this launcher with ics instead of the stock tw launcher sped my phone up considerably and totally eliminated that little bit of lag that was in it when exiting apps and scrolling screens. Not to mention apex has a lot of freeking really cool features you can't do with the stock tw launcher. Like add another shortcut icon on the dock bar and the ability to scroll 5 dock bars full of shortcuts you can add. And the home screen allows for another whole row of icons and much much more. But best of it made my phone ALOT FREAKIN FASTER....

BATTERY DRAIN ISSUES.

I found going from gingerbread to ics was a bigger strain on my battery a way bigger strain. So far this trick has helped a lot but I'm still looking for other ways to go with this to improve it even more. So if you have any tricks up your sleeve feel free to post please. So here is what I've found so far...

I used rom manager from the market but I'm sure there are other free apps that can do this again far as I know you need to be rooted to do this...

1. Wipe battery stats. After installing any new rom or even updating an existing you should always wipe battery stats. This helped my phone tremendousley.

2. Find a app that monitors your battery stats. I use badass battery monitory. I don't like the name but it will tell you which apps are draining your battery and allow you to make necasarry changes. There is a free version on the market but I'm using the paid one.

I posted this info I've learned to maybe help someone else. It helped my phone a bunch but each phone is different and what works for one may not for another so I make no guarantees. For info on rooting see the link at the beginning of this thread it worked for me. Anyone that has learned other tweaks please post. And if this is in the wrong section I'm sorry. I just started using the app and not my pc to access xda and I'm trying to figure the app out still which is laid out weird and the search option just plain sux...

Hello to all.

Recently i bought a certain dual-sim android china phone. So far so good. The problem is this : i'm trying to install various apps from the market and all i get is "incompatible with the system". The phones info indicates that it has android version 2.3.6 but when i use any android info app the version is indicated as 2.2.1. So i am confused which version i actually have (i guess it's 2.2.1). In either case, i cannot understand why i keep receiving the "incompatible with the system" message. FYI this message comes when i try to install apps like skype or viber...i actually was able to install whatsapp.

The phone has also these specs : Hardware: MT6516 E1K, Processor : ARM926EJ-S rev 5 (v5l).

Any help would be appreciated!

[Kindle Fire General] Thepooch:
Kinda depends on what your really looking for if you just want a fresh look then I would recommend side loading a launcher like go launcher or adw that way you can still make full use of the amazon market and with voodoo root keeper amazon video works fine if you rom your kindle then you can just use the Google android market with launcher you can have both what I do to make use of both is keep a backup of my rooted stock 6.2.1 and flip back and forth via twrp to stock or my favorite rom of the moment by just restoring a backup . Always make a fresh backup so you don't loose changes of apps that occur with one or the other sounds like a hassle but works for me. You may find once you rom your kindle you rarely go back to stock. Make sure you do full wipes when swapping and everything will run smooth. I'm sure that others have ways they work around being able to make full use of both the amazon market and the Google android market but I'm happy with my method and the diversity I get from trying lots of different roms:-)
