Dear

I have more question again.

Cause my phone got some problem,So i send it back to sony.But I have unlock the bootloader.So they don't repair my phone.

After I contact the customer service,it seems that the rom cause some problem in my phone.

So does it have any official rom released and can be download??

I know "krabappel2548" have release the rom .But I still want to try the official one.

Maybe any guys can help.

and I still don't know how to relock the boot loader.

Still maybe you can help again.

thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
The link above didn't work? Try that tutorial for locking bootloader.

About returning to stock, the software update does do that for you if you lock the bootloader,at least for others. It seems the easiest method. Just lock the bootloader and run a software update with PC Companion. You'll end up good as new.
[General Questions and Answers] kyrathy:
Dear

the tutorial doesn't have sola ftf.So I cannot relock the bootloader.I have PM to DooMLoRD several days ago. But doesn't have response.

Since my phone is out of warranty, i only can flash the non-official rom.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
I can't find a working tool for locking bootloader. Xperia SSpeed is a good rom, and doomlord will surely solve this issue. Don't worry, you will get warranty back most likely soon.
[General Questions and Answers] kyrathy:
I know.I'm trying to flash the Xperia SSpeed.but got some problems.

And you just said I will got my warranty back.what does this mean???

Cause my phone have send to sony and got it back.The sony customer service say that My phone's IMEI have log the system(for unlock boot-loader,the official way),so my phone doesn't have warranty.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Oops

Forgot Sony keep a log. I've been unrooting to restore warranty too much.
[General Questions and Answers] kyrathy:
Dear

still feel a little confused.

you mean when i unroot my phone,if my phone still got some problem, I can sent it back to sony.Because sony doesn't keep any log??
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
I don't have a Sony.

You can not unroot your phone and send to Sony, because you used official method to unlock bootloader. They will see on their system you did this. Sorry.

My phones come with bootloader already unlocked so I'm used to unrooting before sending back. They are not Sony though.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Maybe I can help with your problems flashing sspeed rom instead?
[General Questions and Answers] kyrathy:
today, I flash the sspeed rom success. But my phone still have some problem.like screen touch , slow and no response.

cause that, so i want to unroot and flash official rom .and try to send back to sony.

I think my phone may got hardware error. It's really sad to me.

[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
It's worth a try I think. Good luck.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
It's fake

That capacity is too high for the price,it is most likely LiPo than LiIon

The seller has never sold anything expensive and spells poorly.

Avoid it and buy something like mugen power,or so.True extended batteries achieve more charge by thickening your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] kyrathy:
yap....I tried...and failed.

So many problem i got.><
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Too bad. Looks like you're stuck with it in it's current condition.

But I prefer being rooted anyway,stock firmware is never truly optimised. A few updates to sspeed and you'll hate official ics for being boring :cool:
[General Questions and Answers] kyrathy:
last night,I flash the kernel.

And then my phone is back.

Now it's official rom.I'll send it back to sony again.

screen still have problem.

thanks a lot.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
No problem.

It does sound like something is broken. Hope they fix it...maybe for a fee?
[General Questions and Answers] kyrathy:
last time,i send it back to sony.cause i unlock boot loader, so they charge for $8400 (about us$ 250 ~300).this time , i send it back again. and not yet recieve any information.

the one I'm afraid is maybe they have log of my phone's imei,and no any free warranty.

So, just wait lo.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Maybe they'll charge less this time...:mad: $250 is exorbitant for repair I think! That's a new phone!
[General Questions and Answers] kyrathy:
sigh~~~><

I send it back to senao(I bought my phone at there ),They said it changed the code when I flash.(but i don't know what code.)

So it's out of warranty.

Really pity.

now i only can falsh the non-official rom.And hope it can improve the problem.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Too bad,but at least the rom is stable, so only more features now.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guardante:
Hi guys.

O have a Defy+ phone with Android 2.3.6 onboard

(4.5.1-134_DFP-231)

Pls help me. I cant fully understand how to flash any custom ROM on it?

Root and 2ndinit installed, but i can't install CM9 or AOKP rom for example.

I am booting to 2ndinit, entering recovery, do nandroid backup, do full wipe flash zip from SDcard, flash kernel( from this thread), and finally reboot. And got continious reboots.

What am i doing wrong?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelbygreen:
are you wiping cache and dalvik cache after you install the rom? try this and it should boot. Also for CM9 dont install the bootloader. It did not work when I tried to install the bootloader, but fine when I installed without it.

I would try the latest CM7.2 from quartx I have the apr release and its fast, stable and I have had no trouble with it. Well apart from the baseband switcher in the options would not save the changes so had to install the app for it.

here is the link if you are not sure where to get it from

http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/?C=M;O=D

just put it on the root of SD card

boot into recovery (2ndinit or CM)

you can back up your data if you want (but sounds like you have done this so the file should still be there)

factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache

go to zip from sd and file from sd and zip the new ROM

wipe cache and dalvik catch

reboot.

Oh you can install gapps straight after CM7.2 as well if you want gapps on your phone

here is the latest gapps for CM7

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guardante:
Thanks, man, i'll try it. Will post a review later.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelbygreen:
yeah if you install gapps you can do this straight after the CM7.2 flash

so once cm7.2 says its finished

go back and into install from sd select the gapps zip

install that (only about 9mb so wont take long)

then clear cache and dalvik cache

reboot.

All these ROMS might take upto 10mins to boot first up but thats normal.

if you installed Gapps it will ask you for your account details. Gapps only installs google play app and the google sync for your phone and contacts so it cant resync your contacts (there is a option to sync your apps.

I would choose not to do this as I ended up with 40 apps and most I didnt want lol. If you go into google play and hit the menu button (bottom left on the phone) and select my apps they will have all the apps you have installed and you can select the ones you want instead of having them all install at once then removing the crap ones.

I run V6 supercharger script and have the power control widget on the main screen so I leave everything off and set network to 2g unless I need it and I get 3 days out of the phone easy usually have like 20% left after day 3. So cant complain about battery.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guardante:
WOW!Thet's...cool!I'll try to install in in a couple of hours!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelbygreen:
yeah not sure if its the script that helps or what. I dont use the phone to much few short calls a day and hook it up to the car stereo when I am driving around. I would get to know the ROM first if you like it mod it further. but always do a nandroid backup first. If something happens then you can always revert back.

CM9 looks good and all but to me the usability of cm7.2 far outweighs the cm9. I have modded mine own theme to so its not like you are stuck with whats installed at first boot.

here are some screens of mine :P
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guardante:
Works great man!thank you! started in 2 minutes.fast smooth and ver-very customizable! Now will deeply explore CM7.2!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelbygreen:
glad you like it. Its the best ROM so far I have tried and I been threw ICS, whiterabbit and a few others but all have problems in everyday use and I wanted something that you dont have to keep restarting things coz they freeze all the time.

cm7.2 has worked for everything I have tried so far.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] toxicthunder:
I am a staunch MX Player loyalist, but that doesn't deter me (and all of us) from exploring other alternatives. :D

One of Samsung Galaxy SIII 's most (over)hyped features has been the new pop-up video style. They say it will allow users to read messages etc without having to pause or exit from whatever they are watching. Only time will tell how successful the idea is.

But for those wanting to have a go at the same, I found this generic Video Player App on the Play Store which in a way accomplishes the same. The Galaxy Note, with its large screen should be the most appropriate device to check out this app on. Though haven't explored it yet, but so far so good.

The app called Super Video, Floating & Popup (couldn't they come up with a more boring name? :confused:) can be found

here

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantelog:
Ive been flashing roms for over a year now, but this problem still bugs me..

Google maps will always default me in England, so if i share a location with someone, i always get .com.uk

or if i use voice search on google car home, i always get results from America.

all i want todo is get my phone to know its in Australia, and only show search stuff from Australia,. and block everything else. unless i specifically type UK or US in the search bar...

:confused:

Thanks very much
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00ndu:
Look for a localized rom to flash perhaps?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantelog:
then after that, should i be able to flash any rom and itll be localised for au?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00ndu:
I think it is always better to find a customized rom for your region, and not others.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantelog:
huh? customised for a region? i never thought there was such a thing..

why would my phone think im in uk?? csc?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Modem may be better some networks .

CSC is region specific .

Questio

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantelog:
so your saying i should flash a modem from my region?

or csc?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Your choice .

Modem try them all some work better for some regions .

CSC not required enter network settings manually .

Default settings will not change if something is coded into firmware that says US its always going to default to the location .Likewise GPS.conf file is default USA time server . Build prop is often default US and so on .

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

But s-off is only so you can flash stuff through recovery and not fast boot .and some devices came s-off from factory . What I'm iffy about as well is do I run the ruu from bell again that's gingerbread then do the ota ? Because h-boot I thought couldn't be downgraded ? I hope a dev sees this .I hate People having to put up with All the echoing in the phone calls

With stock Bell ics ota, it does not feedback anymore with phonecalls

Sent from my HTC Raider 4G LTE running ICS.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohcho:
So you did go back to S-ON before you OTA updated to ICS? (too much jargon :) )

Did you unlock the bootloader and flash a recovery after? Did you install the other kernel from the supertool and did you get root?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ideaLduK:
I havent S-ON prior to do this, it worked perfectly. I only relocked BL with fastboot oem lock then RUUed then OTAed. After that I reunlocked BL and, flashed twrp recovery and flashed my rom (already rooted :p)

Sent from my HTC Raider 4G LTE running ICS.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohcho:
So it seems when you flashed a custom rom, it's the rom that gives you root access?

I'm on the stock OTA but can't get root. Should I flash another kernel?

I don't necessarily want to run a custom rom but want root.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ideaLduK:
If i was you and i wanted to get root, id do it manually instead of doing it via supertool. Look in the stickies of the dev subforum to get the procedure. Otherwise PM me maybe i can help you

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Hunt3r.j2:
IF YOU ARE S-ON UNLOCKED: FLASH THE STOCK RECOVERY AND RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER, THEN RUN THE RUU IN FASTBOOT.

IF YOU ARE S-OFF: RUN THE RUU IN FASTBOOT.

Yes, caps is necessary. S-OFF is convenient in many ways.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ideaLduK:
Totally agree with that. Otherwise, your phone could be transformed into a BRICK.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Driodl:
*warning* noob content!

I used the Vivid_All-In-One_Kit_v1.2 to unlock, root, and install the clockwork recovery.

The OTA ICS update fails - it just goes into fastboot and that's it.

So I'm guessing I need to install the original recovery?

I tried finding that, but have been unsuccessful, any help provided is welcome.

Do I also need to apply the stock RUU? Where do I find that one?

On my old Legend HTC support actually supplied me with the stock RUU.....

I have bought GS3 2 days ago from Dubai the GS3 is amazing, this phone is the smoothest android phone I have ever used.

The only problem I have noticed with the battery it never reaches 100% it only reaches 99% when trying to get a full charge

So far I get with this battery nearly 8 hours and 30 mins to 9 hours with heavy usage, my phone is still unrooted so I didn't have a chance to try any juice defending apps.
[Galaxy S III General] gaspernemec:
I dont think anything is wrong with that....mw galaxy s doesnt reach 100% eighter...i think it has something to do with android protecting battery from overcharging

Thanks for sharing your experience. Out of all my experience i can tell after few charges you would get a better battery life, up to 15% increase.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
guys dont forget,if you need better battery life your first charge cycle should be a complete one without any interruption.
[Galaxy S III General] miahegypt:
for a full charge cycle do i have to discharge the battery to 0% or just 1-5%
[Galaxy S III General] vasp3690:
should that be with the phone off as well? i have read that as well.

thanks for sharing. 8.30 hours of heavy use is respectable(if you can define heavy use it will be better though), but i had managed to get that with HOS on heavy use, even less so im confident it should be fine!

So confident i have already pre ordered a second battery as well! haha
[Galaxy S III General] Sc0rp10:
I have been using the phone heavily since the past 12 hours which includes constant connection to 3g or wifi networks, app downloads, navigation for about half an hour, half hour of calls, 20+ texts, about an hour of streaming YouTube to my tv using twonky and I'm still at 35%.

And since the device is new so all my friends and colleagues have been checking out its sound, video and camera.

I haven't even been through my first full cycle yet and the results for me are pretty satisfactory so far.

Also it was connected to the car Bluetooth for about 45 mins and I had 15 mins of calls during that time.

"It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) the battery every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the battery's life (

this does not apply to Li-Ion batteries, which do not require conditioning
