Data wipe and Dalvik cache

because if u don't, u'll stock on booting kernel (Tested with doomkernel v21)

javad داداش , u should test more things abt ur rom, dude . . .

-------------------------------

How is battery life with this rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iAchilles:
Never Mind, I fixed it by myself ... ;)

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

As u know it's based on Stock Rom + some battery tweaks ( i guest) ...

so at least it'll give u better battery life than stock Rom :D

& there is another thing that battery life is really depends on what kernel u r using (ofcource it depends on ROM too) !! ;)

GoOd luck

@ iAchilles > appwidgetpicker

I have a problem with Asphalt 6, it doesn't work. It has force close when I start a race.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iAchilles:
I tested it for u, and there isn't any problem with this Game on this rom ...

Actually, i think the MAJOR thing abt this rom is FULL WIPE which didn't mentioned !! and if u didn't do that u will face with some problems like Stocking on booting, playing buggy some game or apps, ... :rolleyes::o (Ofcource it's not true for all devices but Most devices like mine:))

so if u did it (full wipe) already, so u have to check ur Asphalt 6's SD data !! because on my device it works perfectly :D

good lcuk ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Azev:
I have made full wipe and wipe dalvik cache. The phone won't boot so i made full wipe and dalvik cache wipe, after it boots. I will make a test with flashing .62 rom, full wipe and after flash this rom...

Hey guys, my xperia had a softbrick and i couldn't update it with PC Companion.

So i tried flashtool and it worked.

I re-tried PCcomanion again and the "repair" option also worked now.

However, after i repaired it and put my phone on, the default language was set to russian or something. And i have to scroll all the way to the top to select English (united kingdom)

I was wondering how i could reset my language so when i factory reset or flash back to stock 2.1, My default language would be english.

Please reply soon.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolussimo:
IMO You should look at build.prop file in system folder. There is something like ro.product.locale.language= and ro.product.locale.region= . Also there is something like SI code in stock 2.1 firmware. (SI code will tell You about branding firmware etc.)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CorePrideX8:

I have a very big problem with my sd-card. Its 8gb. When my phone is just powered on, it says: sd-card is unmounted. This is ery annoying, because I cant use it this way.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
Is it just me or is this phone the phone with the worst battery life ever seen on any device.

Seeing gingerbread on this phone is already annoying enough but the battery life is completely useless.

Considering that it has sealed in battery, we're truly stuffed. Can't understand it at all. Don't they test these phones.

I went to bed last night with the battery at 98% and woke up to find it this morning at 63%. Just ridiculous.

And like I said nothing can be done about it,
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Malner27:
What fw version r you running?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
It's just you :)

what firmware are you running? how long have you had the phone? If you are at .73 you should have no problems, even at update .67 its not too bad, so it's you... unless you sleep for 2 days :).

Also, there's also a battery thread, which isn't even on the second page of this section yet. Or did you make this just to start a whine

thread? ;)

I am running .73 firmaware & have no battery problem.. 16-17 hours with heavy use is more than enough when everything is on auto update.. In my sleep time, battery goes down just 3-4%.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] laziepig:
same here after update (.73) it lasted more than 8hrs (heavy usage). 7:00am unplugged and came back home around 7:00pm with 20% left. Standby during sleeping now takes around 3-4% in sleep mode compare to 30-35% on firmware .63 or .62 (i forgot)

The Xperia Ray had a awesome battery, on that note

Firmware does improve battery, gingerbread did wonders for the X10, but like everyone said the latest firmware does fix the battery, I had to charge midday when I first got my XS because the battery would drop very quick with heavy usage and half a day with moderate use, now it's last all day till bed time, thou it still can be improved.

The XperiaS may be said to be sealed and non-replaceable officially, but for the record, those patient and McGyver enough may find there way into the battery... There's a YouTube video of a guy that managed to get in after just a couple screws.

You can flash to .73 without the official update.You can flash to .73 via Flashtool (nonrooted or rooted, depending on your bootloader) .Remember to make a copy of your build.prop.

The .73 update has been flashable for a long while now. The only difference is the junk that comes along with it.

What are doing here at xda?

Go to development section,grab Flashtools and flash the firmware that you want.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
Well I left home with both sxs and x10 at 100%.

The x10 still at 97 while the sxs has dropped to 81. Both devices with similar settings. .67 just sucks big time. I think it should be illegal to sell a phone with this type of battery life. If. 73 as you all say improves battery life, then why oh why it's not universally available. Seeing as that's a major fix.

Well it looks like we're in for another choppy ride with SE as far as software is concerned anyway. I seriously hope this phone doesn't go the same way as the x10. It's started in a similar fashion with dated software. Lets hope things improve.

Yea, it's very hard to brick an Xperia....with usually everything that goes wrong, you could always reflash. The link you posted was just someone messing with something to see how far he could push it I guess. With only firmware flashing there's a very small margin of error (if even, its like...3 clicks? not even typing)

My Xperis S is six hours unplugged. The battery status is 34 % after medium usage (1 hour web surfing via wifi, 1 hour navigation, 30 minutes music with bt, five minutes talking).

One more sad thing: the battery life is only 25 hours in standby mode (screen off, only 2g on- 4% accu off per hour-terrible)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] olaf63:
Its not normal, try an hard reset with power and vol up until three vibrations, or install another rom. .73leaving selected the two wipes, and after a couple of days if still so bad, send it to service.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sssache:
Try to activate from the app Power Saver the power saver mode and see how much does it take in an hour of standby. Check even the battery status to see what is using the battery so much. I had the same problem and for me it was the google+ that was draining the battery. I'm sure that some app is synchronizing something all the time in your Xperia S...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hpsauce37:
I have found that by disabling google photo upload and sync that my battery lasts much longer. I unplugged my phone at 6am, it is checking 2 email accounts every 30 mins and twitter every 15 mins.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hpsauce37:
Go into settings, accounts and sync, click on your google account and you will then see the options there, just untick what you don't want. I take a lot of photos with my phone for my work and found that with it trying to upload and sync them when I'm away from home and on my phone network it just eats the battery. All I do is every so often when I am home and on my WiFi I click the option to upload them and then switch it off again when done.

Hope this helps

My battery was rather bad with .67, lasted 8-10hrs in normal* use. Upgraded to .73 and now after 23hrs, approx. same use, there's still 55% left. It takes a couple of charges to "calibrate" and settle down. What I've noticed is that it drops quite quickly from 100% to about 90% and then slows down.

Screen is obviously the biggest batterythief.

I'm quite satisfied with this.

*) My normal use is some gaming (1hr), reading gReader-Currents-feedly-ReadItLater-etc (1hr), mailing and calling (5-10 each), some surfing and other stuff.

It took 1h 39m from 16% to 100% (last %, 99 to 100 took 9 minutes!)

Top 5:

I'm not actually sure what the differences are... Is there any?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Cholek3:
The main difference you should be looking at is... much better battery management. If you flash using FlashTool, make sure you untick "Wipe user data", so all apps, including those from UK Generic" firmware will still be there. So more or less you are not loosing anything.

The only difference I have noticed was Roaming options.

In UK generic you can choose between Roaming off, National Roaming and International Roaming.

In Central Europe there is only Roaming On and Off.

Regarding battery, you need to spend a bit of time setting up the workings of the phone,the stock powersave option will turn everything off between hours you choose then on auto it will turn off your choice of things WiFi etc when it reaches a certain level also juice defender is a massive help and the battery does improve over time after more charges and drains,
