Malibu,

Technically any SD card can record HD, the problems start when you get above 20Mbps. If the write speed isnt high enough you will get stuttering and choppiness. This is further amplified if you modify your camera to record at 40Mbps (obviously much better picture quality) and that is where my concern lies. You mention your other phone has similar to a class 6 write speed, would you mind testing the internal memory on your Gnex? Also, do you have a GSM or CDMA version of the Gnex?

Ok great, this is exactly the data I am looking for! Have you modified your HD video settings, and if so, how were the results?

Hi all. I have just bought an xperia mini pro sk17i (firmware .58) and i am trying to root it using this thread indications: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409269

I am defenitley stuck at point 1: 1. Make sure you have installed adb drivers (If you don't know ADB installation use any of these links LINK 1 , LINK 2 )

I did everything that was written in LINK 1 but no adb driver has been installed. I have currently the device connected to the pc through usb and the device manager of windows 7 is like this:

I tried to tell windows the driver is in the folder "google usb driver" (i downloaded this archive:www.mediafire.com/?xt1dmy3iz8humgb) but no way ... any help?!?!:confused::confused:

EDIT: since the first time i have connected the device to the pc i did not launch PC Companion i re-did everything from the beginning but this time i told the phone to install PC Companion. The result is that now i can see the xperia mini pro in windows'7 device manager like this:

. I hope this is a good sign ...

So I just dl'd the newest adreno 200 drivers but have no idea how to install/flash it. Is it even worth the effort? Sorry if its a noob question I couldn't find anything else on it.

Pleasantly Mad.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennyboy78:
you have to go in manually and install to the folders theyre supposed to go to. i think these are mainly for ics for full hardware acceleration although the devs did a pretty good job getting hardware acceleration. so if a file in the zip you downloaded says "system" then another folder within it like "lib" you put that in the rom you want to put that in.

if i helped you please hit the thanks button:)

Flashtool with bricked phone..

Wait for the experts to reply on this thread..maybe they can help you

Maybe this will help

-Open flashtool,

-Hold back botton while connecting your phone to pc..

-Wait for flashtool to detect your phone(lucky for you if flashtool can detect your phone

-Then flash official firmware..(the ftf file)

If this won't work.

You need to go to service center or cellphone repair shops

And pay to fix your phone

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vctrku:
Hey, at times, I have noticed that when I go to check my battery status, the "awake" part shows as a completely solid bar. That means there are lots of applications running in the background zapping my battery power. I have tried using task killers to stop those applications, but it still shows my phone being awake all the time, even though I have had my screen off for most of it. I think I read somewhere that when the phone has the screen off for a while, it would put itself in idle mode, shutting down other applications to save battery, that that never happens to me. I press the power button and the screen turns off, but that is the only battery saving I am doing with that. Is there any way I can put the phone into a sleep like state when I want? I do not want to turn my phone off all the time as I obviously need to use it, but I just do not want that much battery loss when I have the screen off. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Arc community! :D

I am enjoying ICS on my Arc S and I really prefer it to GB. But I just would like to launch a couple of ideas to further improve the Ice Cream Experience on our Sony (Ericsson) devices:

Finally fast-capture has been implemented on Arc! As you know, just press and hold for a while power button + camera key to get direct access to the camera, and that's damn fast! By the way... is it possible to tweak this function to enable camera only pressing the camera key?

I thought Gallery on ICS would have implemented reach details when you zoom at 100% your photos, but unfortunately this is not true. Is it possible to tweak the Sony Gallery in order to provide richer photo details during zoom like QuickPic does?

Thanks in advance, I hope some dev could listen and help me :p

Actually, ICS Gallery does display images at full-size. You just need to wait for it to fully load.

It is actually possible to get direct access to the camera by only pressing the camera key ;) ! Just push on it for like 1sec and it starts. But not just the camera focus button, you have to hear/feel the "click" twice! My Arc does it, so your Arc S will probably do the same. And i'm on ICS too ;)

its all about the variety and customization. different people have different taste.

stock/official == released by samsung via kies or updates.

custom === modded stock roms with different themes/tweaks/apps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
CM roms are based on offical android, the type you find on Google Android handest, and are optimised for performance with a shed load of features.

Samsung roms are based on stock, often with bloatware removed and optimised for performance, like packing new kernels, deodexing, zipaligning, busybox not to mention root. They will also have additional functionality over stock samsung in the form of mods.

Try them out, you'll notice the biggest difference with Cyanogenmod roms compared to stock samsung based roms.

More snake oil... Improving your battery life tenfold with sysctl.conf changes when the radio dominates idle battery usage and screen dominates screen-on battery usage = bull****.

Maybe you can improve it a little - but tenfold? Bull****, and a ridiculously exaggerated claim like that makes me distrust any of the changes made.

I'm more than happy with the Note's battery life to be honest. It's certainly better than the Sensation and One X I had previously.

I finished completely charging my Galaxy Note at 02:00 BST. After I got up at 07:00 BST, the battery level was at 86%. I switched off the Wi-Fi, force stopped Skype and WhatsApp (these are the only 2 apps I have installed so far!) before plugging the device to charge.

Background data and Auto-sync in Accounts and sync was turned off ages ago.

Before posting this message, I switched on the Wi-Fi to chat with my cousin via WhatsApp for 20 minutes. Now the Wi-Fi and WhatsApp are inactive. At the moment of typing this message, my battery level is 42%.

I have tried force stopping some of the pre-installed apps such as AccuWeather, ApMobile etc but the effort has been futile. I am aware that I need to root my device in order to get rid of the bloatwares. I am having another issue with the Auto brightness feature which I have described in another thread. I have not ventured into the realm of rooting until now because I may decide to send my device to Samsung's service centre.

I cannot figure out for myself whether my battery or my device itself has a flaw or whether it is normal and there is nothing wrong.

Which ROM are you running?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airtower:
I've been running CM nightlies as long as they've been available for my device (Samsung Captivate). After each flash though, I have to go in through Titanium Backup and uninstall a number of system apps (mail, exchange services, music, DSP manager, news & weather, dev tools) that I do not use for various reasons. I know the ROM runs fine without these elements, as I've been removing them for years now. Manually removing them wasn't such an issue until my phone received a TWRP recovery, which effectively gets me much closer to a "one-click" nightly update making the manual cleanup more of a burden to my lazy lifestyle. :D

My question is, I'd like to create a CWM flashable zip that contains only an update script that removes the system apk's that I specify. Using TWRP I'd like to be able to flash the update, the kernel, and my custom "cleanup" zip in that order. I know the path to all the subject apks, but I know little about scripting or creating CWM zips. Can anyone point me in the right direction to do so? I know my way around a bash script, but I'm not even sure if that's relevant.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoadXY:
Why not open the zip on you pc with, for example Winrar, and remove the apk files from system\app ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atarii:
Good source is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17684719

To remove files you'll want:

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p22", "/system");
delete("/system/app/blah.apk");
unmount("/system");

Your mount command will probably be different, so check the CM update-script for the equivalent one
