[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jimnguyen87:
Hi All,

Actually, i was trying to update my xperia s firmware from .67 to .73 by using flashtool but after i connected my phone to the computer in flashmode (green led), the green led just stayed for about 10 seconds and then turn to red led and out of the flash mode automatically. And in Flashtool, it said device disconnected so the flash process was stopped immediately. I dont know what is wrong with my phone. Please help!!!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
You need to wait when you press the flash button till you see a message telling you to connect the phone.

After thay connect your phone by pressing vol down+ plug the cable.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jimnguyen87:
Yes, i did that. After a notification of flashtool show saying to connect phone to computer, i press vol down + plug cable, the phone showed the blue led and the flashtool show "phone connected in flashmode and "preparing to flash" but after 10 seconds, the blue led turn to red led and the phone is out of flash mode so flashtool stopped the process. thats so weird...:(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
You need to press volume down not up and will be green led not blue.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lal pradeep:
Flashmode help try it

try installing the drivers from directory of flashtool installation

for eg, for me c/flashtool/drivers/flashtool-drivers.exe

install the exe file select all the drivers and then try to enter in flasmode:)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckberg:
Hey guys, I got a Nexus a few months ago and passed the Epic to the g/f (which I regret). Anyway, I have AOKP 35.1 on it and she is having issues. Maybe I forgot some Epic flashing routes.

The phone has EI22 baseband and I am looking to find the best g/f friendly rom (one where I can flash for her and have zero problems).

What do you think is the safest set up?

*Its been a while since I flashed on the Epic. I am on EI22 and I see EL30 is the newest build for GB. Do I need to use odin to get that, or can I just flash on top of EI22?

**I see FC09, is that the newest official?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazfanatic:
Try cm7 or the peoples rom. The peoples is TW based it really is a matter of taste. I have my wife on CM7 which she loves she hates TW.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckberg:
She prefers TW, and I was thinking the Peoples Rom. Where i get lost is all of the MTD, BML stuff. I dont remember having all of those options before.

What is the process to go to the Peoples from where I am? AOKP with EI22... I think EXT4 (is there a way to check?)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
If you're on aokp you are on mtd... fc09 is the newest ota release... if she likes tw then clean gb el30 (she will be bugged by update message) or the peoples rom 2.2 (fc09) would be the best way to go...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Backup with Titanium Backup, download The People's ROM v2.2 MTD, wipe data, cache and Dalvik. Flash, choose to use or not use the Sprint Connections Optimizer, sign in to her Google account to sync contacts, restore her third party apps and only data she absolutely has to have...like Angry Birds high score or something...lol.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckberg:
You guys are awesome. I think that is why I miss the Epic. Thanks for the help, I will follow your instructions and get it rockin.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Stock :p

Seriously you have no idea what responsibility your taking on Keeping the phone rooted.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freedomfighter2006:
I agree with UBER 100%. If you're okay with being lectured each time her phone freezes or needs updated... Go for it, but your better off having her be pissed at Sprint for her phone issues than you.

I've put my wife's Epic back to Stock and life has been better. Just looking out for my brothers on XDA.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
What?!?! Lol... I have my wifes evo rooted, and that phone is WAY harder to maintain than this one... just put on clean gb... completely stable and she will have no problems... after flashing clean gb head over to general and grab the flashable build.prop update and you're good to go....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
The People never have to worry about updates.

TPR 2.2!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazfanatic:
CM7 and call it a day no maintenance needed. And my wife loves it she hates stock.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Lol I would've suggested that, but it seems some phones just don't get along with tpr very well... if it was for him I would've suggested that... but to minimalize possible issue for a g/f or wife... clean gb takes the cake...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
So far all issues were resolved with clean installs, V 6 Supercharger or turning off the Optimizer because of bad 4G due to Sprint. 3000 downloads strong, seems pretty solid to me but I may be biased.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Idk... I've never had not 1 problem... so not biased, truthful! I jusst didn't want him to put tpr on and then have to worry bout the supercharger and all that... but op, like I said, I have had not 1 problem with tpr, so if you'd rather her be on the latest, go with tpr cuz like kenny said,, all issues (if you even run into any) can be solved VERY easily....

Cm9 beta 3 with the touch wiz theme has been very good on my gfs phone
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane6374:
I fully endorse this statement for the reasons mentioned in this thread. Seriously, my gf and I almost broke up over her rooted phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Lol... no offense but if you almost broke up over a rooted phone the relationship musnt have been to great... my wifes phone is rooted and when something messes up she just asks me to fix it... if you don't mind fixing her phone all the time if she messes something up, you should be good to go (depending on if your girl blows things out of proportion or not)... no offense to anybody on any of this... if somebody loves you, they won't bite your head off for something going wrong with a phone!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane6374:
She just gets nasty over some stupid crap sometimes. Plus, she travels a lot so I don't get much chance to work on the phone. Anyway, that was a year ago.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
My lady likes to run whatever I am on. I find this useful for troubleshooting. If I can't recreate an issue on both, it's not a real issue. I made her sit on stock unrooted for a few days last month when she got a replacement phone from dropping it, and she couldn't wait to get back on an ICS rom. She made it through the random reboots on gb leaks, so anything out these days is easy for her to handle. It really depends on the individual. My techy ways have rubbed off on her over the years lol. She is smart enough to use her ipod (i know...) on wifi with a free messaging app to ask for help in the few situations that confuse her. She's a looker, does laundry, is a great mother, works, and cooks extremely well too! Needless to say we are getting married this July. I'm not sure exactly why I waited 14 years to ask her when I say it like that lol.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCRocks:
I cant agree with this strongly enough, though I may not have gone as far as saying no root.

Just remember, ANYTHING that goes wrong will be your fault, even if it has nothing to do with the phone itself (ie: tower down for upgrade, facebook update breaks the app, etc)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
I'm going to bypass all the posts and comment on what I think should be obvious... AOKP, CM9, anything ICS is BETA for our dear Epic 4G. NEVER give someone who isn't tech-savvy one of those roms. Your gf will find every obscure problem it could have (ideal testing for the AOKP team, bad for you).

FC09 is the latest. Most of the FC09 roms are pretty stable. Use one of those. Nothing else. Keep it simple buddy. :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjben:
It seems you have plenty of replies with the right answers. FC09, mtd.

And the most proper response is of course - Never root and flash your wife's/girlfriends phone for her.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Seems many people that have replied have INSANE females in their life. Just sayin... if your g/f or wife or whatever your significant other may be isn't a crazy bat who is going to flip out over a PHONE then root it and put on anything fc09... as random said anything ics is beta and she's gonna have problems along the line somewhere... but on the other hand, my wife just got an epic (her evo busted) and she is running cm9 and loving it... even with her texts not sending sometimes and data being unreliable sometimes, she still loves it... so really I'm trying to say, just because you all have INSANE g/f who would flip on you because of a phone, not every female is like that... and my wife isn't tech savvy at all... just saying....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckberg:
Yeah, I was just having a great time with AOKP on my Nexus S and should have thought that through better.

So far Peoples Rom with a new pink wallpaper has kept her happy.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCRocks:
IMO, is less "insane GF" than it is "technically challenged GF" that causes the endless frustrations with a modded ROM.

For most of those here, we understand the difference between a problem with the ROM, or a problem with a cell tower, or an app that was broken by an update, or the many other issues that come across in daily use.

For someone that doesn't understand this, a missing/moved icon, broken app, dropped call, force close, all get blamed on the "ROM" no matter what the actual cause is. There may not be anything wrong with the phone's setup at all, it could be totally a google or carrier issue, but its still the phone that gets the blame.

I tend to call it "the iPhone affect". Individuals that are using what is, in essence, a mini-computer, yet only see it as a phone. As such, when problems occur, it is a "phone" problem, as the whole rest of the picture is just not understood by the user.

IMO, for these groups of people, the best build is rooted stock. Remove the bloat ware, install SU, and leave just about everything else untouched. This is why, IMO, clean GB is one of the best choices for the GF, even over some of the more polished and themed out ROMs. The phone looks just like every other stock phone (think iPhone again), yet you are able to do a few little things (like remove bloatware, and install Ad Free) that brings forth minor improvements, without the reworking of the GUI that changes the appearance of the phone to a non-stock look.

This was the first thing that came to my mind when I read the OP.
[EVO 4G General] ReapersDeath:
So, this is currently i think sprints best phone. But my main question, is it going to be upgraded to android 4.0? Its currently only 2.3 and with its hardware and what not, will it be upgraded? cant find it on Google or bing or anything.

Oh and bringing this up because i don't think il upgrade to the EVO LTE.. Il probably go to the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G. Best phone ive ever seen
[EVO 4G General] evo-t:
By far the best. I have one. ICS is in the process. They are working more bugs out. If you haven't seen it yet it is themed with touchwiz still... Not sure when the ota is, but it will be getting pushed out. If you go to sammobil.com you can see the current rdf too.
[EVO 4G General] thlinx:
Isn't 4G going away?
[EVO 4G General] NaterTots:

[EVO 4G General] ronson17:
I upgraded from the OG evo and am thoroughly impressed. And I wad going to wait for the evo lte but is 4g will only be available some places so they'll still be stuck on 3g

My Juicy Orange
[EVO 4G General] cas8180:
I am kind of in this situation as well. I am having the upgrade itch. However I dont even think I am eligible yet but not like that would stop me. I look at the new LTE and it looks nice but effectively for me it would be just a fancy 3G phone I am not getting LTE anytime soon so I am stuck with WiMax which is fine it works great for me and my area. I currently have a EVO 3D and OG EVO. My EVO 3D already has the ICS leak and its pretty solid. Least the ROM flavor that I am running. I am just wondering if its worth to migrate over to the SG 2? What the dev community like? Anything like the EVO series? Or should I just give into the hot trend and grab the EVO LTE just because its cool....
[EVO 4G General] ReapersDeath:
Go galaxy. Sense is just boring to me now and 4g only works in 20% of places in the US. Watch reviews on the Samsung galaxy s 2 epic touch 4g. It has a really cool user interface and is so smooth and it IS the holy grail of android. LTE is just a weird looking sense and new clock.. can get the same thing with swags SOS X Rom. The point of upgrading is a new phone. Not the same thing as before. And Samsung is working in android 4.0 as an update

Alright guys if verizon is going to end unlimited data for all users even grandfathered in ones i say we dont go down without a fight!! :D Next month or every month for that matter lets try to get as many people as possible to use as much data as possible!! :eek: (that is unlimited of course) Lets eat up as much data as possible and make verizon think twice about messing with the worlds largest LTE network!! Lets tether,surf, stream and eat data away!! Anybody with me????

[Networking] luke1333:
maybe they will change their minds if so many users start needlessly draining their LTE
[Networking] alpha-niner64:
How would using more data help? All it does is further justify their "alleged" claims that data congestion affects everyone. If you want to make a difference, leave Verizon. Pay the ETF and switch to pre-paid.
[Networking] luke1333:
its rebelling to verizon and IT WONT help at all it wil make things worse and get them to change their mind......maybe lol
[Networking] giant22000:
ETF will not apply. If they terminate your unlimited data during your contract, you'll have the option to leave without ETF which is exactly what I plan to do. Already looking elsewhere so I won't be without for long. I'm fixing to get on the prepaid gravy train....
[Networking] Reilly1812:
kidding right? all you'll do is justify them changing their tiers so that you get less for the same dollars. only one solution and that is to leave the best provider and try a lesser service. not a great option IMHO.

Awesome man
[Networking] luke1333:
No I ain't. They grandfathered us in then screw us over. Screw them then they are going to tiered no matter what supposedly let's screw them over till then
[Networking] 4ktvs:
I can use 300Gb in a month if I wanted to and if I had a maxx, 500GB or more. ( Only the battery is the big limit to how much I could use)

Any way with that said, I would wait to see if they go back on this first and if not. Screw them

the end
[Networking] MrObvious:
How soon will it be before I can leave without ETF? I'm thinking of leaving them anyway.
[Networking] 4ktvs:
They are not doing this intill you "upgrade" so no geting out of ETF with this.
[Networking] Rob4828:
Doesnt matter if Sprint does this because Sprint is slow as hell anyways if you can't connect to 4g

Speeds depends on location..my location I get above 100kilobyes a seconds which is good enough

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] glmooreky:
I've search the forums high and low and can't seem to find any solution, answer or work around. I flashed the CNA rom ICS 4.0.4 "[ROM]^[CodeName:Android]^[4.0.4]^[4.29.12] Alpha 2 test" and also tried AOKP Build 35. Both roms have the same issue.

It seems I can't set any ringtones for my contacts. It allows me to choose them but when I get a call it plays what ever the default ringtone is set to instead of the contact selected one.

Is there a work around for this problem, or is just a a bug that I have to deal with?

If its a question then it goes into the Q (Question) & A (Answer) section of the forum in which you reside. Its not that hard. Also there is no reason to flame either as a simple thread reported post or simply reporting the post will get actioned just as fast and I wont have to clean up a mess while moving.

Hello XDAForum. Recently being too impatient to wait for the official release of ICS for my LG G2x, I flashed Hellfire Sandwich 1.7 (Clean) onto my phone. However now the Phone application is having problems. When I try to call a phone, both phones hear this "HWA HWA HWA HWA HWA HWA HWA HWA..." sound. The "HWA HWA..." sound starts during dialing so I know it's my phone. And when the sound is going on, both sides can't send any sounds nor hear any sounds other than the "HWA HWA HWA..." Am I the only one with this problem? And if so, what can I do to fix it? Thanks in advance. :D

There are V21y basebands out the ass on this forum which is just clutter! Go look at the threads on other phones they are handled and controlled and clutter free no duplicates, this one well obviously not so much. Don't hijack this thread already if you have any complaints or anything about how I do things in this forum, complain to a moderator (if they exist for this phone) or send me a pm... I understand I come off as a **** but I also say what's on everyone's mind as long as they aren't some super good doer who is just around to help, I am but I'm also here to learn!!!! And all I learn from this forum is people can't read and are lazy...

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent ICS Blue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] housry23:
well, it depends on what radio you are on. We can't answer that for you. You would have to flash the radio to find out. Some have had luck with the latest radios, while others have not. Supposedly, there is a firmware update coming from Samsung on the 22nd to fix these issues. We'll see. Another way to fix your issues is to go to a Verizon store or call them and politely complain until you get them to send you a new one. If you are within your 14 day return period, just take it in and exchange it until you get one that works properly. Fortunately, I haven't had any problems with mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] broad_st_bully:
I was having absolutely horrible service as you are...call Sprint and tell them your calls are dropping, texts aren't going though and nothing works and they'll walk you through how to reset it...I did that today after wasting 3 hours at the Sprint store only to be told "there was a network /tower problem", which there wasn't...called Sprint, talked to one of the techs & he straightened everything out.
