I'm having the same problem. I took it to the Sprint store and took it for 2 hours. When I came back they said the battery is fine and they cleaned out the charging port. He also said they won't replace it because it's rooted. I played dumb was like "Root? What does that mean":rolleyes: When the guy asked if someone did something to my phone I said my boyfriend did something but I didn't know what. I asked it it can be unrooted and he said maybe. Whatever. I'm unrooting it tonight and taking it back to get a new replacement since I'm still having issues with the port. When I get a new one I'm going to sit in Starbucks next door to root it. My boyfriend couldn't root himself out of a paper bag.

Hahah, what a girl! ^^

BTW, I have no problems at all with my GNEX, but I think the microUSB port is too easy to break. After two years my old phone can not be charged anymore, because the microUSB port does not keep as the connector inside. I have to find a good position every time!

Mine is okay for now, but I do worry about it because it feels kinda fragile. That's why I'm getting the official dock. It's expensive, but the fact that it uses pogo pins means I can save using the USB port for more important things.

Hi.

I have flashed stock ROM for my Xperia Play R800i to R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic.ftf

but after enabling USB Debugging and Unknown sources, no matter what I do flash tool will always say this:

25/038/2012 10:38:38 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
25/038/2012 10:38:38 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

With ADB, devices list is always empty.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoneofgod:
Phone works fine but I cannot root anymore.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoneofgod:
Sorry for bumping this, but still no luck.

It seems like USB Debugging does work because my PC detects the ADB device when I plug my phone in.

I have all drivers installed, as I did before, but I still can't get my device to display using "adb devices"

Any help would be great.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Blu3Fr0g:
I am an IT Consultant and I like to keep my client network documentation on my View but that also leaves a gaping security hole because Android lacks real security. Before I got the view, I used Dropbox and Truecrypt to keep a container in sync between my main computer and my traveling notebook and a thumbdrive so that I always have access to these documents. Up until last night, I was unable to access a TrueCrypt container within Android, when I found EDS Lite which purports to be able to open the file.

So I installed Dropbox and EDS Lite but I am unable to figure out how to get Dropbox to sync the container to the View and then where to find the container using EDS Lite. I have tried google to no avail as I cannot find a dropbox folder. Anyone want to give me a heads up as to what I am missing? :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Easy.

Use Cheetah Sync for Files/Folders

or

FolderSync

Nice find. Thanks for the response. :) These might just be the droids I am looking for... :P
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] pierx:
you can find the synced files (mark favorite on dropbox first) on sd folder android/data/com.dropbox.android/yourfiles. then add container in EDS.

There's also called cryptonite. Here's the link about truecrypt porting

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Blu3Fr0g:
TrueCrypt

I like the idea of truecrypt volumes on the device, as this allows for them to automatically 'lock' the volume when the device is locked and to not unlock it even if the device is unlocked and to require the pass phrase to unlock it. Everyone should be this paranoid about the security of their devices especially in wake of the court decision that a simple traffic stop is enough to allow a police officer to activate your phone and look through it. Even if no citation or charges are issued and consent is not needed. They cannot force you to unlock it or to give them the pin / password / pattern to unlock it. There are dozens of new laws enacted each year and there is always the chance you are awry of some law that could land you potential jail time. You never know what could turn up in the background of a picture on your phone that The facial recognition is a joke as it can be activated by holding the phone in front of someone's face. You should always refuse a search of your person or vehicle and you should always exercise your right to an attorney and exercise your 5th amendment rights. I really want a fingerprint reader on my phone like I have had on my notebooks for a decade.

When I run quickpic on my Xperia S, it takes ages to show folders with pictures. Really, it takes 12 seconds until folders start to appear. It happens every time I launch quickpic.

@bomeeck: this is not normal, I think you have to uninstall and install again quickpic, on my Xperia S it is 2 sec to load the different folders (about 20) and it is very fast to navigate between pictures (more than 1300). Once new install done, let quick pic tae the necessary time to create the index...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RemixAngel:
So I've been reading forums like every day since the 12th(launch in Canada), when I got my phone. So it's not like I came right on to ask questions without reading anything.

2 questions.

First is:

About half a week ago-a week ago I was reading about someone having frequent crashes and didn't really think much of it because my phone was working fine. People suggested backup and restore with pc companion, as well as taking it back to the dealer for replacement ect ect. Moral of the story is mine is now randomly giving me errors asking me to force-quit. like maybe 3-5 times a day? Is this common for an android device? Should I even be worried at all?(Not really sure what I should be expecting in reference to what other people are experiencing.)

Secondly:

So I've read a bit about debranding, would that be an option with a locked bootloader, and would that remove all of the bloatware shoved down my throat by my carrier? If so, which debranding pack(not sure on the terminology here=/) would be best to use if wanting to be as light as possible. Would a factory reset afterwards remove the debranding?

Extra Info: Unfortunately because Rogers in Canada owns the rights to selling Sony Ericsson's even purchasing the XpS directly from the Sony store(which I did)($500 Cad. +12% sales tax) limits you to a carrier lock via Rogers. (and a locked bootloader) Unit comes stock with .73.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zimbashka:
For second question answear is that you can debrand with locked bootloader with no problem (you just can not instal custom roms).

So far lightest would be Nordic software and personally I like to use UK generic where all unnessary apps can be deleted .

Factory reset would not remove debranding ( just resets settings and all of your customizations).

If you want to sim unlock your phone it is not difficult just order unlock code. I got mine for $5 from ebay, received code in one hour, now using it with fido.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RemixAngel:
Hmm you're with fido now? Wouldn't the unlock code be the be the same?O.o Care to share?

Thanks for the information on debranding.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zimbashka:
Unlock code depends on imei number of your phone.

I can share mine but it will not be accepted by your phone since unlock code is unique to each phone. Once you try to insert anything other then rogers sim card your phone will ask for unlock code, you have only 10 tries, after that phone will be permanently locked to rogers, so make sure you submit your imei correctly in order to receive correct unlock code.

In ebay just type unlock code rogers sony ericsson , the seller i used was freedommobile they charged me $5.49+taxx, see no point paying more then that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RemixAngel:
Wow yeah.. I had no idea you only had like 10 tries. Can that be reset that counter via custom ROMing? I understand that custom ROMing sometimes unlocks, I was more or less asking out of curiosity.

Also.. If doing a factory reset wouldn't re-brand, Would doing a backup and restore via PC companion rebrand my unit? Or would that just restore back to the back to the base of what ever I used to debrand it with?

Uk Generic eh? Sounds like it would also be my cup of tea. I'm sure it's posted here, I'll use the search feature when I get home.

Thank you so much for your imput and follow up my friend.

If you ever want advice about digital cameras (professional/consumer) let me know, I'm a hobbist and sell them for a living. =]
[HTC Sensation] Joca14:
Hi.

2 questions about Sensation XE. I am new to this phone.

The current ROM is Android Revolution HD 6.5.1 by mike1986,

I do not know how it was installed as there is no HBoot option on Vol-Power ??

So how can I upgrade or even do OTA as there seems to be no option on phone??

Second question is the previous reported sounds stopping working, has this been fixed with newer roms or is it a hardware fault??

I've been late for work cause of it already. Can't seem to find recent answers to this.

Thanks for help..

;)
[HTC Sensation] D00mSlayer:
There are few bugs.

Step 1. Get the new version of the Rom. Android revolution HD (or ARHD) is on v6.3.3 I guess. I personally like InsertCoin roms by baadnws.

Step 2. Save it on the root of your sd card and go into recovery (vol down + power button)

Step 3. Do a full wipe (format data + cache + dalvik cache)

Step 4. Scroll to "install from sd card" option in your recovery. And select the latest version you downloaded. Follow on screen instructions.

You're good to go.

I suggest you go for insertcoin roms by baadnws and show-p1984's kernel, best combo ever. Battery saver I must say.

Don't forget to hit thanks ;)

If you need help, pm me.
[HTC Sensation] D00mSlayer:
Before all this, you must get the latest firmware and flash it through recovery. Sorry I didn't mention that. My bad. :)
[HTC Sensation] Joca14:
Thanks for your help but I don't think phone has been rooted / s-off or anything.

Nothing happens when I hold V- with power button, it just boots normally but it has a custom rom? How is that possible?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

In settings/power,make sure fastboot is unticked.

Then ,try again.

Hold volume down+power button together.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Joca14:
Thank you. That has cleared my path. I can now see recovery menu. Will now prepare for new Rom.

I've succesfully upgraded my HTC HD2 from WM6.5 to "HTC HD2 - GingerBread 2.1 (Android v2.3.2)"

.

How do I now replace/upgrade the Android v2.3.2 with the latest "FroyoStone_Sense_V3.2" for HTC HD2 ?

All the notes I find only shows how to upgrade directly from WM to Android v3.2, and not to upgrade Android to a higher Android version

The file names inside the v2.3.2 and v3.2 zip files are completely different.

All you had to do was download the .zip file for the ROM, copy it to your SD card, if you did not download the .zip with your HD2. Then boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery or whatever custom Recovery you have on your HD2. Then wipe your delvick cache, your cache, and data then flash the ROM using the recovery.

first, download the attached file below and place it in your SD card (not in folder)

second, turn off your phone and go to recovery mode by pressing volume up + power button + home button all at the same time

use the volume up and down keys as your scroll keys

and choose "update from sd card"

now you will be asked to choose a file to install after that select the "update.zip" that you have placed on your sd and just reboot the phone

you are rooted when you see a "superuser app" (installed) in the app drawer

here's an analogy:

an unrooted phone is like a pc user logged on as a "guest user"

guest users have very limited pc control.

meanwhile a rooted phone is like a pc user logged on as "administrator"

you can install programs and almost anything without restrictions

just follow the rooting process but this time after "applying update from sd card"

you should choose the "skin1980cwm.zip" instead

after choosing, it will bring you to another interface (has yellow fonts)

using the volume up and down key, scroll to the "back up and restore" option and just choose "back up"
