[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gjusmc:
I've been trying to unlock the bootloader on my R800i using the instructions on the sony unlockbootloader site. My phone isn't locked to any carrier, it says the bootloader is unlockable, and when I put it into fastboot mode with the search key while plugging in I get the blue light and I get a device that shows up under device manager as S1Boot Fastboot. I've installed the android sdk along with google usb driver 4.0 and the android_winusb.inf file from the site. It keeps telling me that no drivers were found when i manually try to install the driver though, also tried downloading fastboot usb drivers from a few other places (also to no avail). Keep getting the waiting for devices message without this driver being installed.

Anyone have any ideas why this driver won't install for me?

Running Windows Vista SP2 and using my SE Xperia Play R800i.

Appreciate any help.

Has anyone else tried this out?

I used to use it on my fascinate running gingerbread and it made a seemingly huge difference. It has been updated for ICS. I'm running it at the moment, and it seems to be making a difference to me (running AOKP build 33).

Also running the 3g booster script and that seems to have made a difference as well. Almost 1.25meg 3g download speeds, which I have NEVER seen in my area.

If you're bored and looking for something to do, try it out =]

V6 Supercharger usually slows down and bugs the E4GT. However the 3G Supercharger works great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pclev99:
my thoughts

I tried the 3g turbocharger and 6v super changer heck even the wifi afterburner on E4GT and had mixed results the 3g turbo charger did seem to work for a while but if I updated my profile or any thing its like it canceled it out. The supercharger seem to make the phone a little more snappy with redrawing the home screenand launcher but wasn't to good for any of the games i play and it showed a good bit of lag in GPU testing where I didn't have it before. the afterburner DID how ever pick up my wifi speed though my phone I did 3 back to back test with out and 3 with with picked up and 5MB a second with it. I don't use any of them now just running blazer 4.1 which is pretty fast and smooth and that's way I don't but it was fun to mess with.

Hi there,

My contract is up for renewal soon and I want a new phone. I have been using my Motorola Milestone 2 (aka Droid 2) for 18 months now. Now I'd like something that has:

- Physical QWERTY keyboard (a MUST)

- Dual-core or higher

- Removable battery

And available in the UK. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
Xperia Pro have everything you want, except dual core.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lisali:
Hi - yes, I looked at Xperia Pro, but Motorola Milestone 2 has really been bugging me with its one core. Soooo sloooooow, especially as I run a lot of apps at the same time and dual-core really makes a difference there. So not sure what to do now. :confused::confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
There is the Milestone 3, the international version of the Droid 3, its similar to your Milestone 2 except the 3 comes with a 4" screen, dual core 1ghz processor. The Droid 4 is out now though, not sure if there is a Milestone 4, but the Droid 4 doesn't have a removable battery.

Here is an article with good QWERTY phones:

http://www.androidauthority.com/best-keyboard-qwerty-android-phones-2012-55315/

From this list the Samsung Captivate Glide also looks good, not sure if its available there it is GSM though so it would work. Compared to the Milestone 3 it has more RAM 1GB vs 512 in the Milestone 3, both 4" screens but Milestone 3 is slightly better resolution. Milestone 3 has a 5 row keyboard with dedicated # keys, versus 4 row on the Samsung. The Samsung probably will get official ICS and there are no guarantees on the Droid 3 getting official ICS at this point.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
I think what kills Motorola is that they don't update their devices. And Xperia Pro is a really good device. It's not filled with companies bloatware (Sony customization is pretty much visual). Every Xperia device has unlockable bootloader, so it's easy to install custom ROMs and root (that remove any other remanecent bloatware).

And I am a Xperia fan, so I always recommend it hahaha
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lisali:
Hi there - thanks so much for your fantastic reply! Yes - I looked at Droid 4, but non-removable battery kills it for me. Smartphones need so much juice, and the only way I can get my Milestone 2 to last a whole day is to have two extra charged batteries with me at all times. I have looked at the AndoridAutority article a few times. Samsung Captivate Glide does look good, but it does not seem to be available in the UK at all. :mad:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lisali:
I totally agree - that is one of the reasons I am trying, if possible, to choose a non-Motorola phone this time. Their customer service is rude and incompetent. They do not update their devices and the bootloaders are indeed locked, so that sucks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
Yes, the software side of Motorola phones is pretty bad. Their hardware is decent but bootloaders are locked. They also don't support device for very long. Couple that with the non-removable batteries they are using now and my next device will likely not be a Motorola. Not sure what brand I will buy but I still have over a year until my contract is up so we will see what happens by then. I was hoping the Google-Motorola buyout would make them more dev friendly but nothing has happened yet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lisali:
I am looking at Samsung Captivate Glide now. I could buy it from the USA and have friends send it over to me. The issues I have are:

Hi Guys,

the batterylife of my play is .. how i call it "serious"

Today at 2am as i going to bed, my play hat 3% Battery.

As i wake up 5 hours later it has 3% again.

Is the battery defect or what is this? =D

Your battery's fine. My battery % often goes "up" overnight. I'm on JokaWild Rom + Doomkernel v13 3013 which does have a very good battery life, but not infinite :)

Maybe the indicator takes a while to catch up coming out of deep sleep or something.

If you flash between ROMs it's worth recalibrating the battery, if not you can get the "increase" in battery life.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Selim873:
It all also depends on how you use your phone. I can make mine last from 6:45am to up to 3am. (I have kind of a fixed schedule, don't judge me lol)

• I have the brightness at 50% or so at all times, I can't see the screen if it's too dim.

• When not checking Facebook or playing Draw Something, anything data related, turn data and wifi off in the wireless and network settings. Don't do airplane mode because you might want to call or text, for MMS Messaging, 3/4G will turn on and back off when the message is sent or received. My 3G Signal is decent, when I'm at home, I have Wifi on unless my connection craps out, unless I'm playing Xbox, since I tether while plugged to AC power, XBL performs better on my 3G Plan apparently...

• Keep phone on silent with vibrate on at all times.

It may vary between third party batteries, roms and kernels.

I'm using a locked R800x with DarkForest 3.0.5.

I always use titanium pro. It backups the apps AND their data.

Pulling the entire system folder and reinstalling manually later is a lot of hassle, and you might lose data/settings that titanium keeps.

Plus when you move to a new device, or if you have more than one, you can hotswap the SD card and transfer backups between devices.

Hi

I'm a noob, thanks in advance for your patience/help.

I got a Galaxy Note yesterday. All was fine until I tried to log in to Tweetcaster using wifi. The app wouldn't connect to twitter so that I could put my details in. When I disconnected from the wifi, it worked fine. Other apps and the browser seem to work alright using wifi. The browser will not, however, load the twitter mobile page when I'm on wifi. I downloaded another twitter app and that wouldn't work using wifi either. All the apps and the twitter site will load when I disconnect wifi.

If I try to post a tweet, it'll just show the loading screen for ages and then it'll say "network error". I can't refresh my twitter feed either. If I disconnect wifi, it'll work.

My old phone (HTC Desire) and my laptop both use the wifi fine and twitter works on both of them.

The router is a netgear n150.

So I'm not sure if the problem is the phone, twitter or the router.

Things I've tried to fix it:

- Factory reset the phone (didn't work)

- Factory reset the router (didn't work)

- Changed the channel the router uses (didn't work)

- Checked for firmware/software updates on the phone (didn't work)

- Installed and ran the Fix My Wifi app (didn't work)

I'm really not very skilled when it comes to routers and stuff, so you'll have to dumb it down for me.

Thanks in advance for your help! :-)
