[General Questions and Answers] exzibit7:
The One S has Snapdragon S4 processor rather than the S3 of Xperia S. That's the main reason why the One S is faster I guess and the main reason I was opting for it before.

But later I heard the news that in India the One S is going to launch with an S3 processor with overclocked 1.7ghz!! (Source) But still its not an S4! :mad:

Really a shameful decision by Htc :mad:

The processor was the only place where it had outranked SXS, and now its not even that. That's why I am thinking of buying SXS rather.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
My opinion was to get the Sensation instead.

The sensation has a bigger screen,but manageable. People will tell you the bravia display is brilliant but there's a price, that screen is a battery guzzler. And Sony don't give much battery.

The Sony has fixed memory.

HTC are built solid. You'll have that phone forever.

Battery pull. I do it all the time when I mess up. You can't do that on a SXS.
[General Questions and Answers] exzibit7:
Are you talking about just the Sensation or the Sensation XE/XL? And don't you think these devices are old now? I mean in some time they will become completely out dated.

And for the SXS besides the battery life and the yellow tint problem(which sony replaces for free) are there any other serious issues?

I'd get galaxy note , International unlocked version as onsale on ebay for 459 USD over aweek ago. I would wait and catch the SALES.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
I was talking about the XE. It is a well clocked dual core phone,and was built as a flagship device. The XL has only cosmetic updates but if they matter to you, you can consider it.

These phones they'd like to make you think they're outdated, but they're not. HTC gave the XE ics,and $150 earbuds. I'm not an audiophile so I don't care if there's better buds in that price range coz again, they came free. Big discount. It has Sense 3.6 which is Stable(4.0 was something new and has issues) so only the one update when you open the box and your phone will be perfectly userble. Sony take forever to update,and sometimes not at all.(PLAY anyone?) And their phones don't stay flagship too long(arc-arc s-xperia s gap) and the original arc was abandoned to 2011 waiting list. Sense > Timescape.

I like using my phone abit before resorting to xda.So if I we're to suggest phones

1. Galaxy S2

2.HTC sensation XE

3.Galaxy Note

4.Sony Xperia S

5.Droid RAZR MAXX.

Hi everyone, especially our great developers!

I saw the new screenshots of Mozilla's in-development HTML-5 Web OS, "Boot to Gecko" and it certainly seems awesome, clean and sleek!

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/b2g/

I was wondering if anyone has thought of making it work on our Xperia Arc. Sure, it is not a dual-core device, but since it can run Android 4 just fine, couldn't it also be capable of running B2G?

It would be great to see another OS working on the Arc. (B2G, MeeGo, Tizen in a couple of months :) , Ubuntu Phone, etc..)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rock.n.dave:
Hi all!

I've recently updated my Xperia Arc to the new ICS 4.0.4 release (4.1.B.0.431) via SEUS.

One of the main reason why I was expecting this update was the possibility of encrypting the SD card natively, as far as I know, provided by Google from Honeycomb and ICS. I think google has take too much time to do this, since old WM, BB, or even Palm devices had this capability since years ago.

This is a very important option for me (and I guess it should be for anyone) bearing in mind the big amount of sensitive data we usually store on SD card, even more important in a device with only 340MB free memory, in which lots of programs and data must be stored in the SD card.

Nevertheless, I've discovered that, after the update, the option is not present... I don't know the reason, I've asked to Sony about that, but I'm still waiting for an answer.

Do you guys know if they haven't included this option, if it's hidden, if it will be included lately...? I haven't found any info in the forum... Am I the only one that really miss this option? What happens if I loose my phone? It's pin protected, but what about the photos and work documents stored in the Card?

Regards.

[Q] SUT LR does'nt install & also the importance of flashing RC3 or sharp before CM9

Hello I'm stuck :confused: SUT LR does not install I'm on Windows 7 x64, while installing i get an error that says ''unexpected error'' I do have the ADB, java SDK kit and everything but why does this happen? I also tried renaming the RC3's .nb0 file and flashing it via stock recovery but doesn't work, I'm right now on FR's MIUI 2.3.16, cant i directly flash the CM9 directly? Please do reply looking for answers everywhere:(:(:(:(:(
[Huawei Ideos X6] CacingKalung:
1. Device in download mode

2. Flash using SUT 1.8.2

If you have already done that, well... use windows 32 bit :). May be with win32 bit on virtual machine.
[Huawei Ideos X6] superviked:
Sir the application that is ''SUTLR.msi'' doesn't install at all and why am I unable to flash it via sd card even after renaming it firmware.nb0?
[Huawei Ideos X6] CacingKalung:
1. There is also SUTLR.exe if you don't want to install msi installer from microsoft.

2. Are you sure has changed the cwm recovery image to stock recovery?

3. And also consider to redownload rc3 again, your downloaded file could be corrupted. Just check the md5 file to make sure it's ok.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I never get a prompt to of anything with the FXX_PR3_NV xml file.

I've walked through the instructions several times. What confuses me the most is the step to install the SUTLR file then select the xml file then essentially install the SUTLR file again? This seems redundant (but either way) it does not prompt me for anything, it just runs directly through the install.

thoughts?

This is for a DEFY XT557
[Huawei Ideos X6] vivekb:
To install xml file, you should connect your device in download mode..... What I remembered about flashing process of defy, it never include installation of sut lr file again.

I just wanted to start off by thanking drk.hd and invisiblek for all of their hard work on the ROM and I love it. However there is a problem that I got with the latest build and I can't post in that thread because of the 10 post requirement. With that said, I have been getting massive battery drain overnight the past 2 nights and I was wondering if anyone knows a way to fix that. Last night I went from 67% down to 14% and the night before was even worse, 74% down to 4%. Does anyone know a way to fix that? It's the same problem I had with AOKP and Abduction and I didn't have that problem with the previous CM9 builds. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drahcir0789:
I do have those off. I actually had no problem on build 8 and I had amazing battery life and I've been using it the exact same way. I flashed over build 8 with 9 and then I started getting this massive battery drain over night. Weird thing is that it doesn't happen during the day only when the phone is idle for a long period of time.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drahcir0789:
Thanks for the response Tiny. Unfortunately, both of those apps are freezing up my phone and forcing a reboot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drahcir0789:
I just resorted to a full wipe and hopefully that works out. Will report back tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
If they are freezing your phone there are other problems. Since you said you just wiped or will wipe hopefully that will fix it but it won't tell why.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drahcir0789:
You're right Tiny. After the wipe it seems to be back to a normal battery drain again as in build 8. The real test will come tomorrow though when I wake up. And the weird thing is that the apps work now after the full wipe. I still have a nandroid backup of the build 8 I flashed over if you want to do some tests with it to see what might have gone wrong.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drahcir0789:
Ok so it seemed that it was one of the apps that made my battery drain like crazy. I installed badass battery monitor again because I had a 12% drain in an hour at one point with it being idle with the screen taking up 40% of the usage. I uninstalled the last app that I installed which was the Videocam Illusion and I got only an 11% drain over night so it seemed like that fixed it.

Hello all,

I have searched the various posts and threads relating to my issue but have not been able to find and answer so here it goes.

I am all of sudden having a tethering issue with my s2. I used to be able to tether my laptops and any other cell phone to my s2 as a wifi hotspot. I am rooted with the stock 2.3.4 rom. uckh7, kernal version 2.6.3.5.7 that has CWM. I have titanium backup pro installed and have always had the tethering mangager app frozen. Now my laptops and other phones will show connected to my s2 network but will not connect to internet even after rebooting ipad and laptops.. I can connect ok using usb tethering. I have tried configuring the hotspot app with and without security, tried various passwords with and without alpha numerical sequences, I have tried FoxFi, and the latest WiFi tether app, and all have same results. I have removed the tether manager completly using TB and still same. I also performed a restore from CWM and still the same. I have not performed a factory reset yet because I believe all that does is remove all user data, not change the system data. I don't want to bring it to an ATT service store because I don't want an exchange unit that will more than likely have the 2.36 rom.

I don't know if I should try to reflash with the stock 2.3.4 or what??

I am at a loss right now.. Sorry for being so wordy, I just didn't want to forget anything if i could.

Any and all thoughts, advise, recommendations appreciated

I have unfrozen tethering manager, unistalled it thru tb and reinstalled. If I try to use mobile hotspot without tethering manager frozen or uninstalled I get the warning that my account is not provisioned for tethering. If I freeze or uninstall the tethering manager than I can use the mobile hotspot and other devices see my network and connect, but no data is transferred.

Should I just reflash the stock 2.3.4 rom?

I can use tethering ok with my rooted captivate running Cog 5 gingerbread rom ok.

any thoughts??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cepsbow:
Full wipe is going to be easier than bug hunting. And yes, a full wipe does clear out ROM settings and files which brings it back to its "default" state. To do a full wipe make sure you:

1.Wipe data/factory reset

2.Wipe Cache

Under Advanced in CWM

3.Wipe Dalvik Cache

4.Wipe /system

You should flash jivy's kernel cleaning script as well before flashing entropy's kernel (mostly just a good practice to have). Hopefully this will clear up your issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrwhsskers:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrwhsskers:
quick question regarding wiping and clearing cache, etc.

will I loose root after cleaning??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cepsbow:
No, as long as the rom you're already on is rooted it will stay. Again this just resets THE ROM to default essentially. The personal data on your internal SD will be for the most part untouched, just the app data will be gone, and a essentially fresh rom install.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrwhsskers:
I wiped, did reset, cleaned existing kernel, installed entropy's kernel. Tried again but still no devices could get data signal thru my hotspot although the connected to my network. I was playing with a coworkers phone later and his phone was able to connect and receive data. I noted at that time that my phone was only on 3g data not 4g. As soon as I moved the position of my phone to where it received a 4g signal then my coworkers phone would no longer receive data thru my network??? any significance to that????

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrwhsskers:
:thanks for all the responses. Finally solved. On a whim I went into mobile network settings, went into APNs and hit "reset to default" and retried the mobile hotspot again and now everything works, all my devices now receive data and can connect to internet again.

Hi again, well so i successfully flashed the rom and its smooooothhh as butter. Except that when i try to compose a new message and type a contact in the recipient line, it looks as if it comes up blank box. At first i thought that maybe i had to import my contacts on to the phone it self rather then just on the sim card. When i tried again nothing changed but i touched the box that pops up this time when i write a contact and apparently the font works, it seems as if its white text on white back but i changed the background and its still invisible. So basically im just wondering if is this just me or does anyone else have this problem. Also i was curious if maybe there was something i could flash so i could have the original messaging app for the sidekick and not the android one. Much thanks for the help

I may have not really explained my problem so ill try and do it again; you know when your typing a new message and you want to, for example send it to your friend George, so you type G-e-o and basically a box appears under to try and auto complete what you were typing. Basically the box itself appears but the content inside is invisible

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
The Sidekick's stock messaging app is heavily integrated with the zipwip and t-mobile software that rom developers are desperate to rip out.

The answer in all cases is to use apk tools to get at some source code and make the neccessary changes yourself.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] theinsd:
Yeah basically its a white on white and it shows up when highlighted. Also i ended up flashing the Cm merged V2.1 first to test it out.

Yeah i figured that original message app is much slower then android but i like it more for some reason and it lets me block people on texting haha. Do you think their is a easy "noob" way of getting it like with a apk download or zip flash already out?

Hi,

I recently bought Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 on ebay. After receiving it I realized that it has a custom ROM installed on it. Now I cannot update my Galaxy SII using Kies. So, I decided why not flash it to stock ICS firmware.

as fas as I understand I need to flash my phone using ODIN with a stock ICS firmware (I choose the first one from Nordic countries from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 ).

Now what if I think of rooting it ? I mean I want to unlock super user privileges. As far as I understand I choose SiyahKernel v3.2.7.2 (from http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/). Just like the way I flashed using ODIN. I repeat it with this .tar file from SiyahKernel v3.2.7.2. Is that it ?

Can anyone verify it ?

There is almost no visible diffrences between kernels. at least in normal mode.(siyah has its own CWM, way better than other CWM versions).

Siyah Kernel eliminates some of logging processes and unusefull procedures of android, so it gives you better battery life. specially in idle mode.(about 1 percent for 7-8 hour) and I feel CF-kernels are more battery consuming than stock kernels.

Also Siyah gives you advanced control over hardware, and has a dual boot option.(two different ROM of same version. both ICS or both GB). for best results you should download EX Tweaks from market.

CF-Root kernel from Chainfire is only a rooted stock kernel with a few extras (such as SuperSU, BusyBox, CWM recovery, CWM Manager app, etc.).

Have a look at CF-Root thread for detailed information => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root

SiyahKernel from gokhanmoral is completely different, as it is a custom kernel with a lot of patched, parts from other kernels/linux sources/other phones/individually developed code/etc.

See corresponding thread for further information => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1555259

If you want to stay "stock" but rooted, then flash the corresponding CF-Root kernel for your stock ROM.

Happy flashing !

P.S.:

Use TriangleAway app from Chainfire to remove the yellow triangle and reset the counter after flashing an insecure kernel, such as CF-Root or Siyah.

And as soon as your phone is rooted, you can use Mobile Odin app from Chainfire to flash stock ROMs, kernels and other part of the firmware with an on-device app - without the yellow triangle and without increasing the counter.
