[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rantanplan1980:
I thought that I was no longer a noob after having rooted and used custom ROMs on my Desire Z and Nexus S but the Xperia Play is (apparently) very different.

My device is rooted with Doomkernel and I was under the impression that this would also give me CWM. So I booted with power + vol+, no CWM. Booted with power + vol-, no CWM. Booted with rommanager -> boot into CWM, no CWM.

I'm on .69 by the way.

What am I missing here?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonY960:
this is for doomkernels GB & ICS
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rantanplan1980:
Thank you good sir!

I think Auto-CWM might be interfering, because the back-button isn't doing what it's supposed to do.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonY960:
with auto-CWM app and fxp kernel you can enter CWM recovery by pressing volume key when the light turned on :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rantanplan1980:
Perfect, thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoKushan:
Hi, all.

I apologise if this is a weird/stupid question or if it's in the wrong place but I'm relatively new to Android development in general and I'm just looking to get a feel for what is possible and what isn't.

I know that the stuff regarding the secure element inside certain phones is kept on a strictly need-to-know basis and Google only lets certain people have access, but how about the apps that are running on the phone, such as Google Wallet?

What I mean is, is it possible to write an App that communicates with something like Google Wallet (not necessarily this app specifically) instead of an NFC device? At its simplest, when you pass your phone over a credit card terminal, it communicates via the NFC chip to the wallet application. What I'm looking to do is bypass that terminal and just communicate directly with the app via another app, sending the necessary commands directly. Is this possible? (If so, I'm not looking for a how-to, just if it's doable or not).

I know it might be complicated and there's a lot to learn, APDU commands and all that - that's fine, but as I said above I'm a bit of an Android n00b and I don't want to put a lot of effort into building a test app and learning all the API commands if what I want to do isn't possible.

If someone could chime in with their knowledge, I'd be very appreciative.

FYI: I work in the credit card industry, but my company doesn't deal with mobile (yet) and I'm putting the feelers out for what is and isn't possible in that area.

Thanks in advance!

Please ask questions in the Q&A forum, not development.

Thread moved.

Also, OP - this may help

https://developers.google.com/in-app-payments/docs/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoKushan:
Sorry, my mistake.

Also that link is about in app payments, I'm not looking into doing anything like that. Rather I need to communicate specifically with the applets that are stored on the SE within the phone. I presumed this would be through whatever app installed them (i.e. google wallet) but I feel I may be mistaken on that.

[HTC One X] C56X:
Guys, in sleep mode, even with WiFi & Auto Sync OFF, the battery drains almost 10% through the whole night.

Last night it drained from 99% to 91% through the night without any usage.:confused:

Can someone throw some light on this issue?
[HTC One X] muamers:
2 possible scenarios: 1. You just sleep to much :D 2. You have a app installed (taskmanager battery saver?) that dont let your HOX sleep well ;)
[HTC One X] C56X:
That, I do :D

I have installed a battery widget app from the market. Do you think this is what is causing the drain?
[HTC One X] muamers:
If it is just a widget and not a battery saver, then no, i dont think so. Are you sure it is just a widget?

Do you have some other system-tuner-apps installed ?
[HTC One X] C56X:
Yep; all it is, is a battery widget that I installed from the market. Here is the link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.geekyouup.android.widgets.battery

I don't believe so. I am not rooted and running stock everything.

EDIT: Oh, wait a minute. I just went through the list of apps that I've downloaded, and I have an app called Lookout. Here is the link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout
[HTC One X] muamers:
No idea what could drain it then...instal a battery monitor app and see what app dont let it sleep ;)
[HTC One X] C56X:
Any suggestions?
[HTC One X] muamers:
Yes, THIS one ;)
[HTC One X] C56X:
Thanks, but is there a tutorial on how to use this? Seems complex to me.
[HTC One X] eyosen:
BetterBatteryStats is what I use.

My 2 cents.
[HTC One X] C56X:
Any similar free apps?
[HTC One X] DanRZ:
Hello, betterbatterystats is one of the most useful apps to check what drains your battery.

Basically you only check "Process wakelocks" and see which application "wakes" too often your phone.

Charge your phone and just before going to sleep, remove the charger.

BetterBatteryStats will take this action to start logging wakelocks ( default behaviour )

and in the morning, open BBS and see what process use too many wakelocks.

;)
[HTC One X] eyosen:
@C56X

BBS is the tool for what you need.
[HTC One X] C56X:
@DanRZ, eyosen, thanks; however, I've never paid for apps. Isn't there something similar in the market, that does almost the same job as BBS?
[HTC One X] eyosen:
Did a quick check but didn't see one.

I strongly believe paying for applications that really add value to your phone to help developers continue their apps. Compared to the time you save by finding out which app is consuming battery the price tag of the applications is next to nothing.
[HTC One X] anubis1980:
I used betterybatterystats and it showed me that bluetooth was enabled. No where else did it show this, i restarted the phone and its no longer enabled. worth downloading if you have issues with the battery!
[HTC One X] joseph.davidow:
Hi all,

I unlocked my boot loader and flashed clockworkmod Recovery V5.8.2.7.

I just received the update from HTC:

1.28.720.10 to 1.29.720.10 for Asia India. When clicking on the file to update, the phone reset itself and the clockworkmod recovery screen appeared with an error.

So I was unable to update the phone.

I have uploaded a screenshot with all the info.

The phone is an HTC One X unlocked version bought from amazon (Made in India)

I am not sure what other information is required so if you need anything just let me know and I will update.
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
You need to flash a stock recovery prior OTA update. The update will fail with a CWM recovery installed.
[HTC One X] eyosen:
I think you also have to re-lock your phone after restoring your stock recovery.
[HTC One X] joseph.davidow:
is there any other way then to update the ota updates?
[HTC One X] dr9722:
Flash a custom rom instead. Most devs have all the latest OTA updates in there builds anyway. As soon as a new OTA update is available then the Devs will update there roms.
[HTC One X] eyosen:
If you would like to stay with stock kernel and ROM, there is no other way.

Even if you choose to flash a custom ROM, you will need to do these steps anytime you would like to go back to stock ROM delivered in the form of an RUU.

See this thread for installing RUU's after custom ROM
[HTC One X] joseph.davidow:
Can you recommend a decent guide how to flash a custom rom and a good custom rom to use.

Thank you all for your quick responses.
[HTC One X] eyosen:
You can find what's available in this sticky thread.

As for recommending, I would suggest you check out the OP pages for different ROMs and read up on the latest posts in each thread. This will give you an idea on what the ROM looks like, the features it supports and the level of support you will be getting for each ROM.

[HTC One X] tiltman71:
Thanks for the link, how do i install the update, do i have to be rooted to do so?

Thanks again.
[HTC One X] eyosen:
NO. Your phone should have the original recovery on it and, if it's unlocked, it has to be relocked to get the RUU to install.
[HTC One X] tiltman71:
ok, my phone has s-off, so i will look into it.

Thanks again
[HTC One X] eyosen:
So you are among the lucky few. Hats off to you. :D

I don't know what it's like to have s-off but normally install stock recovery before rellocking. Otherwise, you will be stuck.

[HTC One X] joseph.davidow:
I flashed a stock recovery and relocked the phone. I then downloaded the update and started to install it. The phone turned itself off and a logo appeared of a download sign but then after a few seconds it changed to an exclamation mark and stayed like that.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoccX8:
wait, this swap, what is it actually? xD
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lloir:
Taken from the Cyanogen wiki

Swap is, in short, virtual RAM. With swap, a small portion of the hard drive is set aside and used like RAM. The computer will attempt to keep as much information as possible in RAM until the RAM is full. At that point, the computer will begin moving inactive blocks of memory (called pages) to the hard disk, freeing up RAM for active processes. If one of the pages on the hard disk needs to be accessed again, it will be moved back into RAM, and a different inactive page in RAM will be moved onto the hard disk ('swapped'). The trade off is disks and SD cards are considerably slower than physical RAM, so when something needs to be swapped, there is a noticeable performance hit.

Unlike traditional swap, Android's Memory Manager kills inactive processes to free up memory. Android signals to the process, then the process will usually write out a small bit of specific information about its state (for example, Google Maps may write out the map view coordinates; Browser might write the URL of the page being viewed) and then the process exits. When you next access that application, it is restarted: the application is loaded from storage, and retrieves the state information that it saved when it last closed. In some applications, this makes it seem as if the application never closed at all. This is not much different from traditional swap, except that Android apps are specially programed to write out very specific information, making Android's Memory Manager more efficient that swap.

plz help
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
Your Problem is, you had Safestrap installed before. I bet now you don't have enough space in your Preinstall Folder. If I'm right, that folder is bigger on CDMA Devices and used for Safestrap. If you uninstall Safestrap, that folder is still filled and you got no free Space for Bootstrap. I'm not sure about that, but I know Guys got Bootstrap working after they deleted the crap in this Folder. Before you try that, charge your battery and got RSD ready to go ;)

I'll post you an Screenshot of my Preinstall Folder, so you can compare.

BTW: I'm running an Leak

[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
1. Not for Mac. You run an Android, that's against Apple philosophy :p

2. When there's nothing deleted on your Phone (especially System Apps) you should be able to get the OTA. Just save your Root with Rootkeeper (Store) and temp. unroot before you run the Update. Not sure about the Safestrap stuff that's now on your Phone. Maybe that could make trouble.

[Galaxy S II General] hawken84:
I have always had iPhones, but I was always intrigued to try an Android. A few months ago I sold my iPhone 4 because it was running really slow on iOS 5 and I was just wanting a change overall.

I bought a white Galaxy S2 I9100 Virgin Mobile phone, and unlocked it to use with Fido.This was easy! I researched everything there is to know about Android, tried out all the ROM's from Stock to AOSP to AOKP to CM9 etc. and all the different Kernals, modems etc. I've really learned everything I need to know to honestly say, I prefer iOS. My old iPhone was just a 4 but I have just put my S2 on Craigslist to trade for a 4S.

Here are some reasons:

Apps: The Apple Store has a much higher quality selection of apps, and I find that too many apps I used are just not available in the Play Store, and no suitable replacements or alternatives exist. While there are a lot of apps in Play, I find the overall quality lower.

Tweaks: I was always jail-broken so using Cydia, there was always a million tweaks and themes you can find to truly customize the phone. I heard Android you could customize even more but that's just not the case - the themes just change a few colors, but Winterboard Retina themes for iOS completely change the look of the OS. I had an Animated HTC Weather Clock Widget on my iPhone that blew away any widget available for Android that I've seen.

Smoothness: No matter what ROM or Kernal I have installed, Android is just jerky and inconsistent when scrolling and swiping, in comparison. iOS and any app installed on it always worked as smooth as silk and even though my i4 was getting sluggish, it still ran smoother than I have seen my S2 run.

Keyboard: No matter what custom keyboard I have installed on my S2, I am constantly making mistakes and the auto correct is completely wrong every single time, no matter what I add in the custom dictionary. iOS was much faster typing for me.

Email:The built in Email in iOS blows away everything I have tried on Android so far, and nothing has the features of it or ease of use.

Sound Quality: iPhone has an iPod inside of it, so obviously this wins in the audio department. Even with Poweramp or Player Pro installed, this does not even compare to iOS music player.

Those are just the main reasons, but I feel I just miss iOS and wish to go back as soon as possible. It's been a good experience with Android. I think there would be some things I miss from Android that I was never able to do on iOS.

On Android I can download Torrents! That feature is amazing right there.

On my S2 I can swap out batteries and add extra storage - that is a no go on iPhone and I have been loving the fact that I can just pack a few spare batteries and not worry about being close to a plugin all day.

Maybe I'll wait until the iPhone 5 comes out in September because I can technically get a new contract in September, but I am actually eager to switch back at this point. It's been a good couple months, but I just miss my iPhone plain and simple.

I'd love to hear peoples thoughts, especially those who have had both an S2 and an iPhone.
[Galaxy S II General] Fille84:
Lots of bull**** going on here I would say.

First of all you have to be kidding me when you say that an iphone is more customizable than an android phone... I have also had booth iphone 3gs and the iphone 4 and the soundquality when listening to music is not better on the iphone, no ****ing way.

But I have to agree with you about that the quality of the apps is better in appstore than in google play, but its getting better and better.
[Galaxy S II General] hawken84:
Well, the 3GS is significantly less overall than the 4 and especially the 4S so that's the not the greatest comparison.
[Galaxy S II General] NaLogo:
Plus, the iPods certainly aren't known for their great sound quality. Most of them got a pretty high harmonic distortion rate.

The rest you said is mostly bs as well. I had both a 4S and my S2 for a while and finally choose the S2.
[Galaxy S II General] hawken84:
lol, well enlighten me on why the S2 is better? Maybe I'm missing something.
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
Each to thier own but..

- Play Store has just as many apps as iStore and is predicted to be twice as large in 2 yrs. (At current rate of growth) I find it hard to believe you didn't find a suitable replacement app for what you were looking for.

- You're restricted with what you can and can't do with Apple. They control YOU. They control YOUR PHONE. That I do not feel with Android and I do not like someone dictating to me what I can and can not do with the hardware I bought.

- You were obviously trying all the wrong ROMs and TWEAKS then.

- Keyboard, are you serious?

- What's your gauge for better sound? Are you saying songs sound better? How is that possible when both have a standard 3.5mm earphone jack? Change your headphones then? Encode the mp3 to 320kbps?

I too have had iPhone's up until I bought a HTC Desire with Android installed 2 yrs ago. I'll never look back.

Anyway, seeya... wouldn't wanna be ya :)

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

Please do tell us your gauge for iPhone audio quality being better than the S2's?
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Are you ****ing kidding me?

No alternatives to iOS apps??Less customization?!?!??!
[Galaxy S II General] jowett69:
Apple as only got one phone(yes I know different models) Android got too many and that's the problem! not all Apps work the same on different phones.
[Galaxy S II General] hawken84:
Well I jailbreak my iPhones so Apple has no control, and I can truly do anything I want to tweak and customize the features of iOS.

I have tried all the "best" ROM's.

I think the overall sound was clearer and louder, I would listen as %70 and on my S2 it's %100 usually lol. And I used the same mp3's and headphones on both phones.
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
Oh and the reason Play Store doesn't have as good of a quality as iStore is because Apple check every app before it is uploaded to iTunes, Google doesn't. The apps on Play Store will only get better as developers get better. How can a developer learn if he can't even get his app on the Market because you got a bunch of power hungry maniacs running the business?

EDIT: typo hungry*
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
So you can do all the customization on some icon of the app drawer....

And you didn't even try voodoo louder....
