[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Maybe you had such good battery life because of the custom ROM? When I had my HTC Thunderbolt, stock ROM have horrendous battery life. The moment I move to custom ROM, I had great battery life. And this is with multiple custom ROMS I have tried.

I am not sure if AT&T supports FD or not, but judging by the link I provided to you, when I typed in the code, the RCC state shows IDLE, and it was recommended to leave FD ON. I am not an expert on FD, so I followed what the "expert" said.

Regarding battery life, it could be just my phone, but with FD ENABLED, I have OK battery life:

1). 12 hours

with

3 hours of display ON (you can check this from the settings)

and

:

- all kind of background stuff running (Wifi, GPS, Twitter app every 1 hour, 3 GMail push accounts, Exchange push accounts, weather every 4 hours, etc.)

- Display 50%

2). Also, when I leave my phone overnight (8 hours) not connected to the charger, the battery only goes down by 3%, this is with the same background stuff running as in no. 1

Maybe this is a deviation of this thread, but I found out the BIGGEST drain is when the screen is ON..my guess is due to the large screen, and not FD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Suzook1:
no for me the matter of a custom rom had nothing to do with it. FD is is in the modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theonedub:
Disabling seems to have increased my battery life. I was attempting to get through a full cycle to compare against my previous results, but I somehow managed to power the phone off 2x and lost my stats. Will definitely post back when I have some concrete results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Suzook1:
theonedub, to confirm you are on stock, no rom or updated modem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theonedub:
100% stock. Didn't slow my data speeds either, was able to pull down 27megs on LTE in the Bay Area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jalshah05:
I have tested it for 2 more days and definitely I see boost in my battery life. I get about 10-11 hours of battery life with the same usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] oort cloud:
I just try the code on my Note in stock dialer and it says it could not process the request. How come you, guys, can do it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theonedub:
Final tally for me was 2days6hr total on time and 3hr16min display time. For me this is an increase of about 8hrs total on time.

via my AT&T Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Suzook1:
This why we need to have the ability to turn this off with custom roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Suzook1:
Any devs out there care to try and make this happen. Its in the stock modem so it should be possible

I have more battery life with fast dormancy disabled , thanks:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
add this to the bottom of your build prop list...here is a tweak I know to enable or disable..

I believe these are correct..please test to confirm...

enable:

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=1

disable:

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0

Found this in my collection, says for better signal?..

Not sure exactly?

ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=1

Fast Dormancy – The Whole Story – XDA Developer TV
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
Sure is in Black Star and I tried it out this week= works great seemingly. Much better battery with it disabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
They featured this on XDA TV. She mentioned that it doesn't work on 4G or LTE. If it's true, but I really wish people would stop propagating that rumor. There's already been a few flame wars over it when people claimed it helped without providing anything concrete. If someone could do a burnout test and include screen shots, and I'm sure it'd help the cause. Cus i'm sure the devs would start throwing it in to build. Props. If this is the case. But the fact that they haven't likely means it isn't universal.

If you're in a 3g only area, I feel bad for you.

To Wish,

I know you're the scientist type, and I appreciate a fellow that's thorough like me. Maybe you could think up a testbed so we can put this to rest. I'd be willing to help if you'd like.

By the way, SwiftKey 3 keeps inserting weird words and punctuation into my sentences, so sorry if I sound like a derp.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lyian:

If youre rooted, download clock sync. Syncs the time to atomic time

Sent from my MikG'd Evo 4g with Swype
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
Cell phones sync their clocks to the cell tower. If you put them into airplane mode for long enough the clock may drift, but this depends on the device itself. Its not a software issue that Google could fix.

Tablets and other android devices without cellular hardware can be synced with an app like clocksync shown above.
[Xperia Arc General] der_erdling:
Hey, i Updates my gf's xperia arc s to Android 4, but now there are two big problems. The first ist, that the persons in the sms app are static, so if she receives a sms, the person from whom she got it isn't on top, but, as all others too, always in the same position. The second problem is, that she can't turn on the mobile network.

I hope you can help me :) thx
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:
Big problem is Ics final verison is for ARC S ...try custom rom :D
[Xperia Arc General] DdcCabuslay:
Are the APNs set in the mobile network settings? You might need to set them up again, since they're not transferred, unless they were backed up.
[Xperia Arc General] arpith.fbi:
Wrong Section

[Xperia Arc General] der_erdling:
What ist APN? Where can i find it? And it you don't mind, could you make a screenshot? Because English isn't my native language and I'm not sure if I can find it :)

Thank you :)

Edit: Now both works again! Sms works again without me doing something, and for the mobile network I went to the Telekom site and there you can send yourself a configuration sms for the mobile web, what I did, and then it worked again :)

Thx for your help :)

Guys I need help!

I'm trying to help a family member out with their Galaxy Ace, all of his txt msg have disappeared from the phone.

We have tried downloading everything from the simcard using sim manager, but no txt messages are there.

I am presuming that the ace stores txt to internal storage? Any idea where?

Do you have any idea how I cant recover his text msg for him? There are some important txts and he hasn't backed up.

Thanks guys.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] K.A.:
No the ace stores it to SD card...

Atleast mine are..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] madpete:
Thanks.

Any idea where on the sd they are stored? File format etc?

Anyone know of any software to read them or recover?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] K.A.:
if the messages have disappeared mostly they have been deleted and thus you cant find them on your phone..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] madpete:
that's the thing tho, they haven't been deleted by the user...they just disappeared.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS56ZWdvZ2dsZXMuc21zc3luYyJd

Set it to back up your SMS to your Gmail, like I did. Backs up any SMS as soon as its received or sent. Works wonders.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] K.A.:
Yeah so they might have been deleted..what did you do on the Ace?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
ummm i think i saw on stock android messaging an option to delete old message automatically, and its activated by default. maybe thats what causing this case of sudden sms disappear.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] madpete:
Think we found the problem guys, sd card has died and is only semi readable.

I have software for data recovery, and its just flagged it up.

Doh!

Thanks for your help guys.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] K.A.:
yup there is an option but it doesnt delete all messages you can set a limit like after 100 or 500 or whatever limit u choose the older messages start getting deleted but only till the messages are within the limit again..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EATtablets:
Has anyone had a problem with ASUS App Backup like this? I ran a backup last night just before downgrading to .15 so I could root the Prime, wiped data, then ran a restore. Appbackup (couldn't use Titanium as not rooted) says 'success' for all data, but nothing's actually restored.

I've tried clearing data as suggested in the app itself, along with uninstalling and reinstalling a load of stuff. Should I just accept it's all gone, or is there a way to look inside the backup file from something else and see what's in there?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] detta123:
I have the same exact problem. Glad I am not the only one!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EATtablets:
Odd isn't it? I ended up getting most of what I needed from an old backup in the end. I didn't realise the backup file was too big - 300MBish backed up turned into a file almost a gig in size, I wonder if that had anything to do with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rlanza1054:
I can't restore any file. I originally thought it was my password but then I ran a small backup test.

Here is what I posted on some other sites:

I backed up my apps using Asus's App Backup Program.

But when I try to restore an app, it won't open file no matter what password I try to enter, which I never set a password to begin with.

I tested this issue by just backing up one app with no password set and then trying to restore and once again it won't open the file.

Thank

Rob
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rlanza1054:
Hi, I want to know if you ever happen to fix your issue with Asus' Backup App. I continue to have issues, even with doing simple one file backups. I can't open any file to restore.

I finally called Asus and opened case (case# 1866051) but they immediately wanted me to perform a 'wipe' first. I guess after that they will want to try a factory reset.

But I complained that I spent too much time setting my 300 for the look and settings that I like and that I need to backup everything first.

Of course, I can't backup using Asus' Backup app, since that is unable to restore. It is the issue!

So I need to find something else that will backup my settings so that I can't restore my unit to how it looks and is set.

I am rooted so I can using Titanium Backup. But I wish there was something else that I would not need root to use, that can backup my settings. Does anyone know if anything, that can do that without the need for root?

Also, I need to 'unroot' my device first before I start playing around with 'wipes and factory resets' I can't have that get in the way of all of this.

And in the end, if they offer to replace my 300, I need to send it back without any of the root stuff on it.

Please let me know if you've fixed your App Backup app and about any other backup programs that I can use that don't need root what will backup my settings.

Thanks!

Rob

Hello everyone !

I'm a new member of this fu**ing awesome forum. I've to confess something, I'm brazilian and my english is so basic, but I need to ask one thing and think that here is the best place to asking it.

My Milestone 2 have not a working touch screen, so I need a ROM that I could receive and answer calls, unlock my phone by slide or some move with keyboard.. a special accessibility pack.

Someone could help me?

I appreciate the commitment already.

Hey guys, this is my first thread here at XDA and sorry if some people get exited seeing the title but this is just a very small guide on how to make your ace look like Xperia S (Just the Home Screen / Widgets / CM7 Theme)

I'm a huge fan of Xperia UI and i've been trying ROMs like Gingercruzt, XperiaTized but each ROM isnt perfect yet Gingercruzt was stopped and CoolCatGetHome still working on XperiaTized to make it perfect.

So with all other resources i tried something else and here are the screenshots

Edit 1 (MMS & Wallpapers)

The Mms.apk is extracted from Gingercruzt 2.2 by nims11 and is working good with Miracle V4.

Edit 2: Updated Theme (Themed browser, Themed phone, Themed contacts, 85% transparent Statusbar, Bug Fixes and others), Music

Music1.apk (Credits: Nims11)

Music2.apk (Credits: CoolCatGetHome)

Im a huge fan of Miracle ROM by itasoulas so i installed this rom and removed launcher pro added Xperia Home Launcher, Added Widgets, Changed Font, Changed CM7 Theme.

Getting Started,

Xperia S Home Launcher by ra3al (Updated Launcher 29 May 2012)

WidgetPicker by ra3al (Required to install other Widgets)

Weather Widget by ra3al

Clock Widget by ra3al

Quick Tools by ra3al

Photo Widget by ra3al

Xperia S CM7 Theme by Chris95X8 & Achep

Xperia S Font by Chris95X8 (Flash the Zip File)

Edit 1: MMS.apk and Wallpapers

Xperia Modded MMS by nims11 (Take a backup of mms.apk in System/app. Now move the provided app to System/app and replace with the existing app and reboot)

Xperia New and Old Wallpapers with CosmicFlow Live Wallpaper by I Dont Remember :eek:

Edit 2: Other Xperia CM7 Themes

Xperia CM7 Theme & XperiaArc CM7 Theme by kevin2716

Edit 3: Updated Theme and Music.apk (Install as normal apk but i recommend rename to music.apk and moving it to System/app and replace with existing app beacuse i hate multiple players)

Music1.apk by nims11

Music2.apk by CoolCatGetHome

All the above work is not mine, Please thank the respective Dev for their amazing work

Credits:

ra3al,

Chris95X8,

Achep,

itasoulas,

nims11 for Mms.apk and Music1.apk,

CoolCatGetHome for Music2.apk

nims11 and CoolCatGetHome for their Sony Ports which made me a huge fan of Xperia UI.

NOTE:

This post is strictly for newbies like me.

The CM7 Theme is still under progress all other layouts look like the default CM7 Theme.

I'm still trying to find better resources for Xperia S Font and Xperia S Lockscreen.

This ain't my work.

If I'm wrong at any point please correct me.

Just two questions:

1) are these contents working on any CM 7.2?

2) is the launcher required to make widgets work? or you can use those on any launcher?

1) They should work on all CM7 ROMs

2) You need to have the Launcher and WidgetPicker for these amazing widgets to work
