[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
To be honest I think it does affect all devices. I say this because I was away on business when 404 came out. Where I was I was in a lot of cinder block buildings and frequently without full signal. I had hspa and umts during that time but it wasn't a 21 or 42 mbps area like where I live. I often dropped signal on 404 that I didn't when I had 403 there. Now, after coming home back to my area that has a better coverage and such, I've not had one drop in signal. I really think its dependent on the towers and saturation whether you have the problem or not. I would still like to see a fix from Google. In the process of gaining battery life, I think they messed up smart reflex in respect to how it powers the antenna.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Lol, he must have misunderstood you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
No, it was a typo and I corrected it.

I meant to say, apparently, you do not. As in, he believes it only takes 20 days to diagnose, text, and implement a fix, which is funny ;)

No fix is diagnosed day 1.

There is time to needed to find the problem.

There is time needed to create a fix.

There is time needed to properly test it, else other bugs show up.

Developers do not work 7 days a week.

Not every Android developer will be assigned to the fix.

There is time needed to ramp up an OTA again in two flavors, ICL53FD_to_IMM76D, and IMM76D_to_whateverthebuildnamewillbe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
No it does not.

It does not affect CDMA devices, and I have found some GSM users on this forum it does not affect. Folks here just think that XDA is the hub of the world, and therefore if there is a large amount of issues being noted, it must be everyone. Because you know...everyone posts on XDA and other phone geek sites. I am not saying the bug isn't real, just that it isn't happening to EVERYONE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It still could be the radios. There is a reason they change radios with each release.

For example, 4.0.4 by itself for CDMA users does not see a signal improvement. 4.0.4 radios on a 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 rom does not see signal improvements. However, 4.0.4 rom and 4.0.4 leaked radio firmware sees a signal improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It was a typo, but you knew that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luftrofl:
:( reading is difficult..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Some people have reported getting the IMM76I update starting about an hour ago, so for those with the issue, it may help you.

He was saying it with sarcasm. You should probably learn what that means before replying.

He wasn't being sarcastic. Nice try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Sure is, considering I said several times it was a typo and you still didn't comprehend.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Boardwalk30:
Ok guys, i've found a few threads on this, but i am trying to get some up-to-date insight from developers, because i'm fresh out of ideas.

The file "charge_full_design"

in

/sys/devices/platform/cpcap_battery/powersupply/battery/

reports 1500 for me (Droid X2)

which is the mAh on the stock DX2 battery

However, I have a 3200 mAh extended battery installed. My phone goes down to 1% in a days use and stays there for 12-36 hours. Some people report their phone accurately reporting the remaining percentage when using a stock battery, but that seems to be when it is an official OEM battery from their respective handset makers. My thought process on this is that the OEM batteries report to the system exactly the full mAh, whereas off brand ones do not. This is where i feel that if we could manually tell the system the correct mAh, we could resolve the issue of inaccurate battery readings.

I fear, however, after multiple attempts by me and other members of the Android community to change the file, and the subsequent failures, that the file may be an output file that the system reports it's estimate of the mAh to, and not any sort of input to the system itself.

Well, sorry if it was TL;DR, but thank you for reading if you did, and I would love some insight.

Oh, and here are some ways that people have tried to change it.

Manually push with ADB

Simple text-edit change with Root Explorer

People have talked about an Update.zip, as the issue may be the file is currently in use by the system while the phone is turned on, but all attempts of that have failed. This may be an issue of an incorrectly made Update.zip, but the problem/idea persist.

Thanks again! All insight is appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Boardwalk30:
I attempted to create an update.zip to install a modified version of the file while the system is off, however i can't actually copy the original to any other directory. This could be a route that may work, if we could get the original file (pull out of an sbf maybe?).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] minotauri:
Been working on a couple fix ideas for this since UltraCfg is no longer working in the UCLD2 leak.

From what I can tell, UltraCfg made an entry in settings.db which can be enabled or disabled. This entry is TETHERING_ALWAYS_ON_MODE = enabled/disabled. Steps to manually do this are shown in post #2.

Also: Tethering Manager & UltraCfg were active; and WifiDirect, Wifi Sharing, and Wifi Sharing Manager are frozen.

Please let me know if any of this works and we can continue to improve this. I'm not sure how stable it is.

Known Issues & Limitations:

1. Only tested by me so far.

2. Not sure if it stable yet. I've had issues keeping wifi tethering active.

3. Any time you connect phone to PC via USB, it disables Debugging and activates Tethering.

4. USB Debugging is disabled on reboot.

5. Not an easy patch for the novice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] minotauri:
I used sqllite editor which is $2.99 in the market. If you dont want to pay and you can survive some terminal shell grinding, here's a free method using sqlite3. For whatever reason, it's not installed by default in our ROMs.

1. Download sqlite3.zip attached. Unzip and put it in /system/bin.

-- quickest method is to unzip. then use adb.

adb mount
adb push sqlite3 /system/bin
adb chmod 771 /system/bin/sqlite3

2. Next we are going to make a copy of our settings.db file as settings.dbx. Again, in adb.

adb shell
>su
>cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
>cp settings.db settings.dbx

3. Dont close your terminal. Now that we have a copy, we will now edit it with sqlite3. Assuming you did a clean data wipe when you first installed the UCLD2 rom do this:

echo "insert into system (name, value) values('TETHER_ALWAYS_ON_MODE','enabled');"|sqlite3 settings.dbx

4. Now we have inserted the new tethering setting! Now we need to backup your original settings and replace it with this modified one.

mv settings.db settings.bak
mv settings.dbx settings.db

5. DONE! Now you may need to reboot.

reboot

Now, I'm not 100% sure this will work, but I never wiped my data from the UCAL4 ROMs to this new one, so my settings never changed. You will also need Tethering Manager. The one issue with having this mode on is that you will get automatically switched to usb tethering when you connect your phone to computer.

If you ever want to disable, follow steps above except use this command in step 3:

echo "update system set value = 'disabled' where name = 'TETHERING_ALWAYS_ON_MODE';"|sqlite3 /settings.dbx

Went with Eclipse 2.2 with Titanium theme. Solid so far.

Now, the true test: battery life!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] znel52:
yep the ics roms are actually ics. they have no hardware acceleration yet though so flash doesn't work. also depending on what area your in ppl have problems with data drops. when it drops you gotta reboot to get it back. we need to get an official moto update with a better kernel and ics drivers to get it really solid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
I was recently walking around and found this different looking towers by them.. Based on what I read they are independent and have towers all across the U.S.A. They claim to own 3,200 towers on their website towerco.com but according to a article they acquired 3,300 towers.

It all gets very spicy though.. according to the 2008 article Sprint and TowerCo had a leasing agreement that they would support sprint by giving them access to towers with CDMA, iDen,>> WIMAX <<..

Source = http://www.towerco.com/simplicityfound/company/print.aspx?id=3d0e6cbd-71b7-4a18-b50e-1344895bc235

Doesn't ClearWire supply the WiMax towers? Very sketchy I must say.

Apparently in my area 90255. Most towers are TowerCO owned. Assuming sprint rents the towers from them... lol! Oh well.. sorry for the spam, just wanted to see feedback from other users.

Enter flashmode for flashtool

Hey....i don't think you need to switch it to MSC mode for flashing.... did you try to enter flashmode by holding "Volume down" button while inserting the USB cable into the phone ? Are you trying to flash it via Flashtool ( it is the easiest way ) ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tenea:
Yes, I tried to flash it with flashtool, but it won't recognize the phone, holding volume down while inserting usb, and the mini led light up orange, so... what else can I do? .. thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zariin:
Did You switch the phone off before that?

Procedure is:

1) Switch off the phone (remove battery if needed)

2) Press "volume down" and hold

3) Put he USB cable in.

Do You see driver installation dialog running in windows? wait until it finishes.

4) Start the flashtool

5) Flash the ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tenea:
Yes, I did exactly the same, but it doesn't install the drivers
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zariin:
Then You need to install either Sony PC companion or form the Sony develeoper site the proper drivers.

Sony PC Companion You find here

Pc companion will install all the SE xperia drivers You need.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] crazy_4_and1:
You have drivers in Flashtool folder under : \flashtool\drivers install them , and accept all of the installation requests by Windows . Or install official drivers from Sony or from Google's SDK source .

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mangatparamveer:
This may help you 90%... just try it

I also have bricked up my Xperia Neo V

I tried many tools but no one helped.....

Finally I got back my bricked phone back by doing following things....

download all the needed things you need to update phone with wotan X tool unlock, you will need

1. X_Unlock_Tool_Setup_Wotan

2. WotanClient

3. USBFlashDriver

you can get all these from wotan website.

also create an account on wotan website. NO NEED TO BUY ANY CREDITS

install all above mentioned tools.

then run X UNLOCK TOOL

then follow on screen instructions untill you get an error that you don't have sufficient credits.

NOTE THAT NOW YOUR PHONE HAS GOT A SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE FROM THIS TOOL. BUT THE POSITIVE ASPECT IS THAT YOU CAN NOW FLASH ANY ftf FILE USING FLASH TOOL. SIM LOCK WILL BE REMOVED AFTER THE WHOLE PROCESS.

now flash the desired firmware on your phone.

power up your phone

if it power ups successfully, then your phone will not detect your SIM card.

finally use S1 tool to remove SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE.

CLICK THANKS IF IT WORKS;)

:)BEST OF LUCK:)

Same issue

I am using an Unlocked Bootloader Xperia Ray and it got bricked when I tried to flash in Cyanogen mod 7 for Xperia Ray...

Now I am trying to flash stock roms using Flashtool but it is requiring me to be in Flasmode which obviously I can't do it. I have done the steps but it wont recognize my phone.

I am also trying to figure how to flash a kernel but every kernel that I download comes in an *.img format but FLASH TOOLs require FTF file to flash the kernel.. how can I do it?

Use fastboot mode instead of flashtool mode in flashtool

Charging Battery

Friend. I believe your problem is the lack of battery power so it does not recognize him try charging the battery in another machine and then later try to get into fastboot mode ..... I hope this helps.

Once long ago I had this same problem but it was a motorola E398 she had just the battery. So do not recognize.

yes
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pikpok:
No, it will flash your kernel with any filename.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mangatparamveer:
just give it try....!

if you just want to unbrick your phone, just try what I have written in post number 17, you will really get your phone back to running state,..... if you don't have any flashtool firmwares, then you could also use SEUS to update your phone, don't worry that SEUS would not work with unlocked bootloader. It will work as I have tried it several times on Xperia Neo V

remember that SEUS will only work after you get error, "error that you don't have sufficient credits" , as posted in 17th post.

and regarding custom Kernels, boot.img can be installed with phone only in fastboot mode.

*i've try change cable, re-attach the battery*

any ideas how make this phone readable by flashtool again?

thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Maybe reinstall drivers. For that go to flashtool installation folder>drivers, there you can install drivers. Just install all that are provided there. And maybe install pc companion, because pc companion brings drivers with it. But when you try flashing make sure pc companion or seus aren't running (not in background,too). After install drivers again try again, maybe restart pc and try again...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] herumi555:
ok, thanks.

But this one confuses me. My Xperia Ray is not rooted. I can't enter into flashmode even though I've already installed the required drivers from flashtool folder, I've even installed pc companion and SEUS to make sure that all the drivers are installed.

bro my only quetion is

DID the led is green

when u connect POWERED OFF device (...pressing vol DOWN ) to PC??? (bcuz THIS SHOULD work EVERY TIME no matters of drivers/ installed stuff /or running tools else etc, the drivers only MAKE the BRIDGE workin, so i would be good if i even know that ur device GET INTO flashmode, huh??????? )
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jager02:
It doesn't turned green when i try to connect it through flashmode..So I supposed it's not in flashmode. And when I open flashtool nothing happens, it should say "your device is connected via flashmode" but it's not so I couldn't flash ftf.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
hmm, okay.. sounds not good, i mean flashmode work ALSO without drivers/flashtool etc , but only ON phone.. the tools mentioned bfore are only bridges between device so we can /flash stuff. but if u say the phone itself even goes not into flashmode THAN other stuff cant help. like u sayd u may get a output its conected but it will fail. im not big experienced in bricked devices but if flashmode dont work (on device) and fastboot also not (i dunno if u can even acess it.. (unlocked bootloader only)) i would say its dead... sory that i may can thelp u i would do it when i can ..-_- but without (one of) thus i cant do nothing with device...
