a few minutes ago I've tried to root my sk17i. try to flash kerner with neo v from 4.0.3 but flashtool give me some error. few week ago I've tried to flash ICS with flashtool and also got an error. FLASHTOOL IS A PIECE OF ****!!!!!!!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] anivesh93:
what kind of error?

can you elaborate?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nidhish91:
Cant figure out whats wrong but I am not able to root. Everything fails. I made sure everything is proper but still the same.

P.S: I flashed the required kernal and then tried it so that thing is taken into consideration too.

Edit: Nevermind, I had the old runme.bat. My neoV is now rooted. Thanks for the files.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] QuaQuaRaQuaQua:
I have a NEO and it was on GB until today. The GB was rooted, and i had maaaany apps linked to SD by link2sd.

Today i upgraded the phone with PC Companion. I am now on ICS 4.1.B.0.431.

I am not able to Root the phone with just hitting the "root-button" in FlashTool.

Another post shows how to fix this by flashing GB and then root the phone. But, by flashing GB all the apps would be lost..

Is there any hope to see any tool flasing build 4.1.B.0.431??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SXUsr:
Did you try this tool before making your post?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] QuaQuaRaQuaQua:
Yeah, but flashtool stops at "waiting for device"

When I boot the phone and start Super User it states that the SU binaries are missing..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SXUsr:
This isn't the flashtool is it, connect your phone, run the bat, and off you go, after following the instructions....

[Xperia Arc Android Development] anivesh93:
if you are flashing the kernel only,the phone will not boot up..

[Xperia Arc Android Development] SXUsr:
Have you installed the Android SDK?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] QuaQuaRaQuaQua:
Yup..

(I Have been rooting the HD2 since the first SD-releases, so i'm not to unfamiliar with rooting / cwm / kernels. I also have a X10 with ICS, and the SGS3 rooted)

But this NEO drives me crazy after the Sony ICS upgrade. :silly:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SXUsr:
Have you seen THIS thread yet? Might be as well flashing that ROM and going from there.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] QuaQuaRaQuaQua:
I am trying to avoid flashing a ROM because then i'd loose everything on the phone.

Thanks for the reply anyways. I probably should nag over there in that NEO thread, and leave you ARC-folks alone, :laugh:

DoomLord !!! you are AWESOME.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Rooted my Xperia Ray 4.0.4

I was using stock ROM (4.0.4), updated by SEUS for around 10 days. Frustrated with too many bloatwares and very low free RAM, i decided to root my device and take all the advantages of rooting.

First i flashed the 4.0.3 kernel using Flashtool.

Then used the instruction in first post by DoomLord.

Then again flashed back the 4.0.4 kernel.

Works like a charm.

Thank you DoomLord again.

here's a weird one..

when using the wall charger that came w/ my phone, instead of charging the battery its actually draining it, the battery icon says its charging/plugged w/ power but after leaving it plugged in eventually it died out, but if i plug it in my pc it charges w/ no problem..

pls help me or enlighten me as to whats happening...

thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
Strange. It should be the other way around. USB 2.0 sockets push 500mah which isnt enough to charge the S while the wall chargers provided are 800/850. Perhaps a dud socket? Try another and if not your charger is fúcked.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 2ji8888:
yeah, i think its my effin charger, i plugged it in a diff outlet still same, i tried using it to charge my iphone its not working as well. thanks for the help.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
For me it discharges faster than it charges. It may charge off yours but typically it'll be very slow or not at all. Some ports push more AFAIK, but the standard is 500max.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pezo:
I also noticed that, if I have WiFi on, the phone actually discharges when connected to the PC (when used anyway).

I don't know how much current is provided though, never measured it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stpx:
If charging through USB is fine then it might be that the charger is shorting the battery + and - through some resistance.

Try another charger and see if it helps , and replace the faulty one. You don't want to break your battery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RiotRick:
On my laptop usb port it will charge just fine. Slower than the normal charger but it does work.

On my desktop pc otoh it drains more than it charges. So there probably is a difference in output on the usb ports.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
If you were using "front ports" these are often underpowered compared to ones mounted on the mobo(back of case, or all laptop ones).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
I connect my phone via my front ports and it charged just fine actually...

I am behind the computer quite a bit and my phone keeps its battery and charges when attached, even when I'm installing a bunch of apps (I tend to browse the market via my browser and pick up apps as i go) I still don't discharge...

It could be a voltage issue with your ports, but with my frontal ports I notice no problems...but anyways, this isn't about the ports, this is about the OP's charger.

To me, it seems like your charger is faulty.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] schalmers:
Hi,

I wrote about a similar issue I was having with the phone discharging when connected to USB.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1573336

From what I could tell in my tests that I did the issue is when the phone is connected to the PC and THEN the PC goes into Standby mode. Even on a powered USB hub the phone charging mechanism does not reset correctly and continue charging but begins discharging.

I would have loved if someone else could have tried to reproduce what I wrote in that thread but no one responded. For me the only solution is to charge directly with the AC power and not through the USB as my PC goes in and out of standby regularly.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electrash:
Phone charghed with USB will drain batery faster then phone charged with wall charghed.

It was thread in xperia arc about that, the test bring that conlcution.

So i recomend to charge with wall for better batery efecienty.

Which rom is the best .. ??
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] headbanger666:
its depending on your desire..

but if you like stock rom but performance inclued..

you can try rom sony hd :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] alkunjo:
I think the best for customrom now is Cyanmobile, it's really smooth I've ever tried :D But for stockrom you may try the latest version cz Iit has been fixed the problem from the previous version CMIIW
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Svennen:
For me it's kittenlinux because it's clean and have Squad kernel with lots of Governors and stuff. Can't be better.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] boaxfux:
I think mebitek's CM7.2 RC1 ROM is the best. It is stable, it is customization and has a great sound quality(Can use DSP Manager, Beats, and BraviaMegaBass, simultaneously).
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Trublood_:
I like cyanmobile, it has great performance, no bugs and very amount of customization. But I also like (and I'm using now) MIUI, because of its beautiful interface and SO smooth system.

hey, new xperia play and android user here!

after reading some posts in the Play threads, here are my questions that i hope to clarification with :)

1) what is stock rom? is it the first ever rom that come with the phone?

2) what gps is the best to work in Play? Papago?

3) which rooting method will work? because some posted that the rooting method is not working on new devices

thanks!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
Stock is the ROM made by the original manufacturer, in this case Sony.

For GPS I like the Google maps/nav. It's free, it comes with the phone, and it works well.

ZergRush works on firmware lower than the .62 build, so as long as yours isn't newer and your drivers are installed correctly it should work.

Hi all,

This should probably be in imilka's thread, but I can't post there as a new user. Since upgrading to his CM9 V.02, titanium refuses to open, and when I uninstall I can't reinstall from market, which gives the error 'Insufficient storage available'. I can install other apps fine from market, I have more than enough memory, I tried wiping market data and cache, and I even tried wiping dalvik cache and reflashing gapps from CWM. No luck. Can't install the apk from non market sources either, where the error is similarly to do with freeing up memory. I wiping titanium files from the sd, and searched for more in the root dir, but couldn't find any.

Running out of options for this one indispensable app - please help!

Thank you

Weird issue indeed. Installs just fine on my CM9.

Have you tried copying the .apk file to /data/app/ (+ reboot)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] REVERSiN:
try using an application to set the install location on the external SD and check if it gives you the same message, this is probably caused due to lack of space a common issue in android.

Thanks for your very helpful replies, guys. I went back to the data/app folder and found a com.keramidas file (or something like that) which I deleted. Now installs from market no problems.

CM9 V6 is one of the best, or is the best roms out there. You should really give it a go. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399035

You may also need the v19 kernel for customization of performance and your personal tweaks.

If you experience problems make sure you do a clean install. Meaning you need to: Go to recovery, than mounts and storage: format system, format data, format cache, format boot. Install CM9 v6, install gapps, reboot. Flash the kernel after your first reboot or theme.

my phone is weird, it won't sleep...there are like only seconds on deep sleep under cpy spy

I am currently on CM 9 ICS 4.04 rom, I've tried other roms and it's the same thing! My phone would sleep like a baby then it suddenly doesn't sleep anymore...I know it's not services that keeps it awake because it has done that on a fresh install without any apps installed (sync off). I am about to send it to samsung for repair? But before I do that I want to double check it's not a software problem!

If anyone can help it would be greately appreciated!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I got them. Would be nice to have a longer log, but try disabling (or changing the settings of) exchange syncing (eMail app). This is known for chewing data and battery and is likely the cause for your wakelock.

I have an updated log...and this time my phone was a mess...it continues charge and not charge making it stay awake...the charging battery is keep flashing to a charge and non charge state
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Intermittent charging is a serious issue and this needs to be sorted seperately. I can't get anything out of this log because half of the information is there solely because of charging problems.

Charge the phone to full, turn off wifi and then leave the phone UNPLUGGED overnight. When you wake up, turn on the screen and grab the log, then post that up.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imppy:
Thanks so it is definitely a charging issue....is the battery drain also linked to that? Should I send my phone to repair? And what should I tell them?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
It's possible but not certain, i don't have a log while you're NOT charging to say either way (and even then it's not guaranteed, obviously). Get me that overnight log and i might be able to shed some more light.

As for the charging problem, have you tried different cables? Different power sources? Does it constantly charge (not on-off-on etc) if you keep the cable held to the phone and in other positions/angles? Most likely if it is not a cable/source issue, it is the usb port on the phone giving way which should be covered under warranty with no dramas.

Do check one thing for me too. Charge the phone to near full (note the %) and turn the phone off. Don't charge it, just leave the battery in the phone and leave it sitting there, off, overnight. After that turn on the phone and note the % again and let me know.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imppy:
This log was overnight and it didn't have the on-off-on USB charging problem and was unplugged from the charger 100% to 70 % in 7 hours.android is was like 70%...it had half and half deep sleep and 100mhz

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Do this for me. Go into BetterBatteryStats, click more and click Raw Alarms and tell me if anything in there is woken up, say, over 100 times. Same with Raw Kernel Wakelocks (xxx/xxx/xxx X.X%, any above 100). There might not be any there, just to make sure.

Also, one last thing, open up a terminal emulator (or adb shell) and type:

su
dumpsys batteryinfo > /sdcard/batteryinfo.txt

And then paste the batteryinfo.txt here. Unless it is something deeper than any typical process this may have something to do with that final check i told you about before (or maybe not at all).

Your log shows nothing out of the ordinary at all except for the large awake time. Sorry for the extra commands, i assumed they wouldn't be necessary and still don't know if they will be.

btw, for this batteryinfo log it might be easier to add it as an attachment .txt file, it might be quite lengthy.

Edit: If you don't mind (some personal information may be written during this, namely IMEI/serial and other possibly identifiable data), maybe just dumpsys > /sdcard/dumpsys.txt. This is a fairly comprehensive log of just about everything going on and how it is set up. If you don't want to do this it is fine of course, or you could PM it to me so it's not public (don't post it here). It's not necessary and it would be a downright pain to try and go through everything in it, but everything holds the slightest chance of finding something tangible to work with. It'll be at least 1MB i'd say if you decide to do it so will take a little bit to create.

i'm so confuessed, is it a charging port problem or battery problem? :/ I'm going to call samsung to get a repair ticket, but it would be nice to know the actual problem so they don't repair the wrong things!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
It looks like the phone thinks it's still plugged in to the charger (was it, at all?). Odd results and not exactly sure how to explain them. You can have a look at line 390 - 400; namely vbus_present (this is a charging wakelock) and suspend_backoff (dunno what this is, idle mode maybe?). This would account for the awake time. I can probably think of various ways to test this but too much trouble here.

Right now it could still be anything. Maybe purely software, maybe the phone thinks it's charging (this happened to another user today, in fact), maybe it's an internal hardware issue. Wish i could be more specific but i can't really. However some more things to try:

Turn off phone

Plug into charger (<1min should be fine)

Unplug from charger

Is the charging screen still on?

Also, possibly try switching on fastcharge mode (a kernel that supports it and NSTools should suffice) and see if this makes a difference. And do let me know about the overnight drain while OFF if possible, my own personal reasons more than anything else. Sorry i can't really help you more than this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imppy:
thanks a lot

when I did ->

Turn off phone

Plug into charger (<1min should be fine)

Unplug from charger

Is the charging screen still on?

charging screen is not on.

I think it is not a software problem because I have factory reset and it is still the same! I think it's mostly the phone thinking it is charging making it ideling (100mhz) instead of deep sleep (0mzh)...that explains how come when the screen is off and not charging it stays at 100mhz and thus the battery drain...thanks for your analyze, I think this is the problem! don't know how to explain it to samsung though...if they replace both USB port and battery it'll be nice

I don't want to try custom roms at the moment because I want to send it to samsung for it to fix...so let's just say this is the problem!
