Hi,

I have a xperia neo....with rooted stock firmware .62 and unlocked bootloader (testpoint method)...I have taken a nandroid backup of it

I just wanted to try out ics...so planning to update using PCcompanion

Before updating...i just want to know

1. whether it's possible to downgrade to gb through cwm nandroid restore? Do I need to flash the kernel for .62 after the nandroid restore ?

2. will root access be restored after the downgrade? Since .62 is cannot be rooted, I'll have to flash .42 to get root access

I don't want to start restoring all the installed apps...hence thinking of using nandroid backup against flashtool

SIMPLEST WAY TO DOWNGRADE TO 2.3.4 factory firmware

...Hi, hope i can help you after i spent myself days looking to root or flash my device, with no luck. There is just 3 simple steps to follow and you are done. Trust me its working fine:

1. Go To: (http thing) i cant link as new user...//androidadvices.com/downgrade-sony-xperia-arc-official-gingerbread-23-firmware/2/ and download 2 files (flashtool and Xperia Arc S firmware package... works for xperia arc, arc s, pro, etc). This is the Gingerbread 2.3.4

2. Unzip, install and start (as admin) Flashtool, then COPY XPERIA ARC S FIRMWARE PACK (is a .ftf file) INTO Installed Flashtool, FIRMWARE Folder (PASTE inside), START FLASH, choose FLASHMODE, follow on screen steps.

P.S. When restart your phone in FLASHMODE: With the phone turned off, press and HOLD BACK button, while connect USB, next seconds, you'll get the GREEN Light(phone) and flashing begins.

3. ENJOY your new installed GINGERBREAD 2.3.4 Firmware

P.S. ...NO ROOT REQUIRED... ...and yes, i know there are more than 3 steps... so? still works great. GOOD LUCK :)
[HTC Desire S] Gill:
Please can someone tell me what the Fast Book function is for on the HTC Desire S Android 2.3.5 – Under Settings-Power-Fast Boot. Is there any real advantage to booting up this way other than the speed? Does this drain the battery quicker. The function says, “Not recommendd with some Market apps.” Any advice would be much appreciated.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
This is like hibernate on windows.

Some apps needed the phone to be rebooted for changes to take effect, hence don't work with fastboot.

well not cause battery drain

Swyped from my Desire S waiting for Kernel 3, WAKE UP HTC
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
It is basically a sleep mode where your phone does not switch off completely, but foes into a hibernation mode. This allows you to boot up faster as the os does not have to load all over again. But the disadvantage is that it does nor switch off the phone completely and so a little power is still consumed while sleeping, just like on a computer. Best to leave it turned off. I can't see any real use for it, except when you are really low on battery and want to conserve it by turning it off but don't want to spend a lot of battery when turning it on again for use, which happens on a full system boot up. Don't overthink it, just leave it turned off.

Cheers.

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I leave it turned off, as the advanced power menus in most ROMs has the hibernate function to use separately

I find it extremely useful, and I will probably even go to say, it was one of the main drawing points to buying this phone. I miss the feature on Reaper :(

I use it throughout the day, I can quickly boot up my phone in a couple of seconds, but at night I switch it off completely.
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Yeah, This along with Flip for Speaker & Quiet ringer on pick up were marketed as THE “Sense” features !

To the OP, turn it OFF {Recommended} ! Turn on whenever & if required ...:)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Off topic, but does the alarm still work when the phone is in hibernation?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Lowveld added the latter to UCS, one reason I'm using Reaper :D

Unfortunately not :(
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Sorry, but still can't see any use for it, it uses battery, alarms don't work, causes novice users to remove battery and brick their phones

It's not like the phone takes now than a few minutes to wake from off

What's the point....

hi.i unknowing checked fastboot option under power options.my htc m8 is not switching on.i have tried all power button and volume button trick but no response.even no led notification on charging.kindly help
[HTC Desire S] W60:
This shouldn't happen. I'm not sure, but it looks like this might be a hardware problem, for example a problem with the ROM, some corrupted piece of code that is not executed when the phone was on hibernation, but has to be executed when the phone was completely turned off.

Have you tried taking the battery out for a few seconds?

And another idea, maybe you'll get more relevant replies if you posted this in the sub-forum dedicated to your particular model. This forum is about HTC Desire S.

When I try to install any apk from explorer or market i get an error: "not enought space avaliable in device" (in spanish something similar), but i´ve got 2.5 gb free memory.

If i uninstall an app then i can install another one, seems like there was a limite with number of apps installed in my device. I´ve got more than 350 apps installed, yes i know it´s a lot, but i´ve got enought space for more why can´t install more?.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] velow:
Thought since ICS there was no limit in number of apps installed, since desappeared partitions in internal storage, which there used to be in honeycomb, etc....where there was a limit of space for apps partition.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
I doubt it's an app limit in ICS. For some reason, that space is unusable to you. Sounds like you would just have to uninstall some apps to make room for more. If you want to clear cache on all of your apps it should give you enough room for another app or 3.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robproctor:
Please forgive me if my reply is incorrect, but first are you sure this isnt ghe error letting you know there is no more space on your home screen, which would mean it installed but its just not showing the icon anywhere other than the app drawer, i know its probably not but i figured i would mention. And finaly what is the size of the app you arr trying to install? Also it may be that android requires at least a gig or two of free space to run for temp files and such, again i may be wrong its just a guess.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] velow:
The size of the app does not matter, i´ve proved with diferents apps with diferents sizes, and the same happened, even if i uninstall a big app and try to install 2 apps smaller, i can install only one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
You might have conflicting apps. For example, if you tried to install an update or another version of the same app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] velow:
First time it happens was installing an app, android proccess for installing packets closed itself, Prime rebooted itself, and since then i get that message of lack of space when trying to install any app. May be a cassuality? But first app that maybe caused everything was a new app, so no problems about updates conflictions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] velow:
No, the app is not installed, does not show neither the home screen nor the app drawer. About the temp files use, in the past i had less free space with less installed apps and never had this problem. And there is no relation with the size of the app to install, i,ve tried with less than 1mb apps, and if i uninstall an app for example of 34mb i only get to install another one, if i try to install 2 apps of 1mb i only can install one of them.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Awizzle:
The micro USB port on my infuse is getting really loose. Its to the point where if I pick my phone up.while its plugged in and even just check my phone it will fall out shortly after picking it up. Is there anything I can do to try to fix it? Would Samsung do anything about it? I haven't even had it a year yet.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Yeah, join the club. :p I had the same problem. I started charging it with the cable to the slightly older model of this. http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digit...Portable/dp/B0041OSAZS/ref=dp_cp_ob_e_title_1 It was a little bit nicer quality than the one that it came with. I would maybe get some backup batteries with a charger. I ordered http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1800mAh...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1335451042&sr=1-2 Then you would no longer have to worry about charging with the cable if you didn't want to. For data transfers you just have to be really careful and don't hit it. I'm actually in the process with Best Buy to getting a new phone. Their black tie plan is covering me and getting me a refurbished phone. But those are your options. ;) Good luck..

And just for the record, I ordered them with a jig thinking that would fix my phone. All that I know is they both charge, and I only bothered trying one of them with put my phone into a bootloop very well. ;)

Thanks >> :rolleyes:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I used to connect using cable before even for little data. But now I have a folder called temp in my dropbox, and use that for transferring little little files (unto 100 MB or so) and use wifi to get that data from db to my phone. Saves on battery too cos connecting cable for little times multiple times could take its toll on battery too, not just the port.

No problems with my USB port, however I have been battery swapping since December. I also transfer data via drop box or airdroid. I'm really loving drop box, my wife takes pictures and video of the kids while I'm out of town on business and they automatically get uploaded. Works out pretty well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bubonic78:
You could always try to get it back to stock and send it in. It has a year manufacture warranty on it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] okiegryphon:
I had the same problem. Got to the point it wouldn't charge. Called AT&T. After some troubleshooting, they determined I should take to my local service center. It was replaced with a new (refurb) phone. Of course I had to get it completely back to stock. So far happy with the new one. Updated it with stock Gingerbread. Will stay with that for a while. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Awizzle:
I've been using dropbox too for data, but it's the charging or charging it in the car that's annoying. Like when using it fir GPS and having the cable pop out all the time makes it annoying. I might try calling att and seeing if I can get anything done under warranty. Should have some time to deal with them soon. Thanks for the ideas.
[General Questions and Answers] Shadowideas:
Hey, I am in desperate need of help... Or at least my phone is.

I had my GT-S5830 rooted, and I had customized it to how I wanted it :) Then, I moved and replaced a font (Clockopia.ttf)... This disabled the lock screen and sent my device in to a boot loop.

So, as I had done before, I loaded up Odin Multi-Downloader v4.38 and proceeded flashing the Europe FW rom file.

It crashed halfway through, and now I can not get into RECOVERY. The only 3 screens I can get is:

"Downloading..."

"Dload Emergency Mode (ARM9)"

"Phone - (!) - Computer"

I have tried flashing recovery, I have tried hard resetting, I have tried using One Click Unbrick.

When in download mode, Odin comes up with:

<1> big partition!

<1> big partition!

<1> big partition!

<1> big partition!

<0> download MIBIB

then stops... I have left for hours.

I really hope someone can help... I spent a lot of money (or what I see as a lot of money) on this phone.

Thanks, Alex.

[General Questions and Answers] eneix22:
installing applications.... do you download it from the App world or from mobile sites?

for unzipping the files, you'll be needing your PC (and of course, winzip or winrar)... and install Blackberry Desktop Software (around 600MB) to move the unzipped files to your phone, after that just look for a .jad or .cod file

Must've hurt.

4EXT Recovery does give you an option to reformat. try going to: "Wipe | Format" then choose the option "format all partitions (except sdcard)". Once this is completed flash your ROM and Kernel and reboot.

[TouchPad General] dung8604:
I highly doubt it. 2 different OS's, 2 different frameworks. Even so, why would you want to? There are a ton of keyboards in the android market that shouldn't run you more than a few bucks. Give them a try, you might like them.

look for tablet keyboard, or hacker keyboard in the market. I use A.I. type thumb keyboard which can be configured to look nearly the same as the webos one, and has an extra row of number keys on the top.
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
I agree with the OP in the sense that I love the webOS keyboard. I havent found a keyboard on android that is better. I use go keyboard though with the pad plugin. Its the best I have found so far.
[TouchPad General] DJ1994:
I use thumb keyboard I know of tons of key boards I just can't type as flawlessly as with the one on web os I don't know what it is about it I have just never found and equal. Btw i spent about an hour and a half configuring my thumb keyboard
[TouchPad General] zanderman112:
I agree with the OP. The webOS keyboard is by far the best I've ever used. Nome of the keyboards available on the play store are good enough, so I've stuck with the ICS keyboard. But if someone ported the webOS keyboard, that'd be awesome.

And that ^^ is just silly. It doesn't matter what frameworks they're run on. Its called "porting"

Hello everyone!

I recently got myself a HTC P3300, and I'm facing some problems. The most urgent one is:

When I installed sdhcArtemis.cab, the option WiFi stopped showing up, so, I have no option to connect in any way. How can I solve this? I tried instaling SDHCArtemisbacktonormal.cab, installing WM5Storage, uninstalling both, and no results.. :confused:

EDIT: SOLVED. Deleted some files created today, on the Windows folder, uninstalled everything, and it came back to life.

Other problems are:

- Can't watch videos on youtube. What should I do?

- Sometimes, when I want to make a call, it gives me a "operation failed" warning. I have to do a soft reset to solve that.

Here's what has happened....

I purchased my SGS2 Saturday April 14th, I rooted it same day, I flashed TDJ Warefare. I noticed on the 4th day after getting my phone my calls started to drop like crazy. Like every other call was dropping or they couldn't hear me. So I called Tmo they walked me through troubleshooting, that didn't help. Took it back to the store where I purchased it this past weekend the sales rep said it sounds like it's a bad sim card. Ok so they changed my sim (of course I rooted again tried Jugganuats this time) and the phone was working fine until yesterday it starting dropping calls. SO I took the phone back and they switched it with a new one.

I would like to know from you all should I try rooting again?

Please don't flame me for asking this question or if it's in the wrong section of the forum.

I would just like your honest opinion as to what If I should or not and if I do, is there a solution to the dropped calls????

Thanks all :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android_Monsters:
Rooting has nothing to do with your dropped calls. your first phone was defective.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] g33kChic:
I did :) I have a new one now. I was asking should I root again? I just don't want my calls to start dropping again.

Let me ask you since it's not the rooting what do you think it could be?? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SGSdabbler:
Did you do a factory reset before taking it back?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android4sunny:
Rooting will not affect the signal or radio. Would suggest that, stay on stock ROM for a week or so and see if you get drop calls. If not, then try another ROM and if you get drop calls after that so it has to do with the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] g33kChic:
Yes I unrooted, factory reset and format internal sdcard just to be on the safe side. I didnt any personal stuff on there. ;)

When is sprint going to upgrade their 3G to compete with at&T? The average AT&T 3G connection IS FAR FASTER THAN SPRINTS SO CALLED 4G NETWORK. :) With verizon, I get 50+M down and 12M up! THEY have a real 4G network.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cordy:
I do find the comparison amusing. It's two-sided. 1. It's T-Mobile trying to prove that it doesn't need the iPhone because it has superior phones. and 2. Because only AT&T is the only comparison that actually uses HSPA+ like them. Funny thing is they can get away with that marketing because they never once said they were comparing 4G services, they even state "two different phones, two different networks". Truth be told if they compared the Galaxy SII for Sprint or even AT&T's LTE version the results wouldn't look as favorable even if their psuedo 4G is better than Sprints 4G Wimax. The marketing works in their favor as most people just see what's put in front of them, everyone else actually takes the time to do a little research before they make a purchase like that.

Actually, the iPhone 4S is the 5th Generation iPhone. The iPhone 4 was the 4th generation.

Also, sprint or Verizon can't make their 3G as fast as AT&T. That is one of the downfalls of cdma. Gsm 3G is faster in general. Cdma 3G tops out around 3Mbps while gsm can get up to 5Mbps and possibly a little more.
