Jack_R1 is a super help when u need it.

What u need to know is those post are on sticky for a reason, if it is unsafe it would have been remove, and ppl have actually succeeded in unlocking and rooting based on those post. yes there will always be one or 2 error, but it was solve somewhere in those page. I did the instructions in page 1 and found solutions to my errors in between page 40-50 and another solution in another totally different post. Google will be your friend.

Everyone is afraid, who isn't. i flash my phone when it was just 3 months old, and it was my 1st touch screen android phone.

Based on what i read that u should try to avoid HTCdev(bet there is a post somewhere saying why).

Try to read the sticky, find which method is best that u can understand and is most suitable with ur device then go with it, when u encounter and error, try the search button, if u still are not able to find the solution then create a post.

Ppl here are genuinely willing to help when u done all that u could.

There is also a sticky explaining the meaning words if you do not understand any(which honestly i do not understand before flashing).

Take your time, there is no competition/time limit, Find a day when u have nothing to do. Read through, and make sure u follow each step accordingly. i miss one step which force me to pull out my battery, twice. But after the horror ordeal i am now flashing between roms every now and then and enjoying it.

Cheer and try to be polite.
[HTC Desire S] AEGEAN_GR:
Thanks man.I was waiting for that kind of answer and not like Jack's.Well the only reason i didnt want to follow the guide which in my case is Zergrush is because i am afraid that if i press something wrong the phone will get bricked and dont know how to fix it.Thats why i asked for an alternative.And sorry for not beeing so polite but i I Swear to God i have done so much reading that it only made me be more afraid than i was before.

quote by Jack_R1

[1]You can't be bothered reading, can you? It's so much easier to open 10 threads with questions that are answered 100000 times, than to sit and just read, is it?

-Actually he is right, there is no need to question the guides, it is research and proven by those OP(s) and also ppl like us who have successfully rooted it.

-So you found some ppl posted their issue, I believe most of their issue were solved and they posted about it.

-you can search for your error code in the forum with the search option either by thread or post.

[2]Read them and try to understand, what each part and each command is doing, and what it's needed for.

-He is actually guiding you, each step is a process, once u take ur time to read and understand and break down the process you will find that it isn't so complicated. And if u bum into an issue within any of those step u can simply find the solution(s) in a later post. (i actually wish some one told me that before i started, i have no idea what i was doing when i started)

-With that in note, read whether ur phone is branded, if it needs a goldcard, zergrush or some other, because some process are not necessary while others may be a must.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papaniz:
Hi guys,

sorry if you seen this same post somewhere else, I accidently posted in wrong section. So few hours ago, being the idiot I obviously am, I forgot my Legend outside on my deck, and tonight, mother nature also decided to teach me a cruel lesson and shed rain on top of my poor now damaged Legend. So far I can't do much to the phone, but I do still have my warranty with HTC, but the problem is, it's rooted and I need to know if there's anyway to unroot it right now being in the system it is? The trackpad still works, touch screen however, is now messed up and swipes down for the notification icon whenever I swipe sideways though. Feel free to criticize me. I think I deserve quite a bit of it.

EDIT:

Good news! This morning the touch screen is much more responsive, just the notification swipe is not working now. But it's a start. Any idea how to unroot? Thanks guys.

can the free 50gb from dropbox stack up?

this is my 3rd gs3 i given the other 2 to my relative the first one i manage to get the 50 gb from my main account, i wonder if i can use the other 2 and get 100 gb more? or even i login the 3 gs3 to my main account in dropbox i will only get the 50 gb from 1 mobile and ignore the other 2 gs3 even i log in both of the two
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lootes:
You will only get 50gb per account. Also, I read a few weeks back that if you give the phone away/sell it, the person that receives it will not get the 50gb upgrade as it will already have been used.

the +50gb will only be good for 2 years, after that it will expire (that's what i read). wonder what will happen when it expires and you got a lot of files in there. :)

Get to Google Play site . Sign in with Google account went to apps to run. Got error saying “You haven’t accessed to the Google Play Store app”

Trying to run “Play Store app “ and got an message : “You must add an account to the device to continue Do you want to add one now”(YES/NO) Click Yes. Window disappears and nothing further happens. No option to enter application specific

2. Your tab is bought from China so you have to flash international rom.

[HTC One X] theROMinator:
Hey, everyone!

I purchased my international One X a week ago. I am loving it but I just learned that HTC does not offer a warranty for my device since it's been purchased through a third party (Amazon). Has anyone here purchased a warranty from squaretrade; does it apply even though I virtually have no warranty? Please share your experiences with me, $600 is an expensive investment if there's no warranty whatsoever.
[HTC One X] colts187:
I am pretty sure that they honor warranties for models bought through expansys and networkingrus and the like, so i don't see what the big deal would be. Amazon does clearly state No Warranty in their title description so that may be true. If so, that sucks, good luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gzwaal:
I was using Gingerbread 2.3.4 and enter the Software Update option on the Settings Menu.

There was a Software Update available and started downloading, then it began to install, until it was finished. After rebooting itself, the initial "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" screen appears (since is rooted, appears with the Warning signal also) and it won't go beyond that screen.

I tried Recovery Mode, Wipe cache, Wipe Data/Factory Settings, etc, and it won't go further.

I download Heimdall, detects the device, but when it tries to connect, it says that there was an error "Claiming Interface Failed!". I search for an error like this one, and turns out the USB Debugging has to be ON in order to access the device when connected to the USB port.

Since I cannot get by the initial screen, I cannot set ON the USB Debugging option.

Is there a way to enable this from a Terminal or Command window? I am using Mac OS X.

Any help? I searched the website without any luck.

Thanks a lot!

[HTC Sensation] johnerz:
Check your phone is keeping good time as this may be an issue

Also are you getting intermittant reception issues?

pull the battery whilst switched on leave it for a couple of minutes then put it back/switch on this will refresh you network connection and may also help

Lastly try a different sim and see if the problem goes away - it can on rare occasions be the sim :)

Does anyone experience some stuttering when playing music on the xperia S using the walkman app and Bluetooth after upgrading to ICS? This is really bugging me... The stuttering is quite serious and seem to happen whenever the phone is doing some memory draining activities or simply unlocking from the lock screen.

I updated the phone using Sony update service.

I have tried some third party apps like double twist and the problem is also there...

Do anyone also experience the same problem?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bub Murray:
Yes, I do.

I upgraded to ICS by manually flashing via fastboot adb.

I use my XS in my car over bluetooth stereo. I does stutter a lot and bothers me even more.

Regardless which app I use...

( I mostly use music folder player)

Xperia S ICS stock
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Matt1408:
For me it stutters initially but then it starts being stable.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
the walkman app consumes an insane mount of memory :/

so ya... the memory comes in the red zone when playing audio! hopefully sony will fix the memory management soon, because it's pretty bad.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Mine did it before ics!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lacour:
I noticed it too, when I was listening to music with my MW600. Especially when I unlock my XS or browsing through my phone.

Before ICS, I had no stutter. It was just fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] richteralan:
With my limited amount of build.prop reading of different devices, I found the Dalvik VM heap size = 128MB is insane.

I never seen any device like that. The most is 64MB I think is plenty.

Quote random internet beta-tester said about the heap size:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zeefung:
I have tried to do a "reset settings" from the phone (without wiping user data). It does not work.

I have posted an enquiry in the sonymobile forum and someone just says that I should repair my phone using Sony Update Service when in fact the SUS just tells me that I have the latest software and ask me to "exit".

Today I have tried using bluetooth headset, phone's screen-off, and in a windy situation - the music playing just stutters like crazy.

I have also used cabled headset - I can only say there is "nearly no" stuttering, but not a completely no - it also stutters sometimes.

If this problem is not resolved by Sony anytime soon I think I'm surely downgrading back to Gingerbread.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] richteralan:
You are right. It is 256MB. Just checked mine. I think it is quite ridiculous.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
I changed the values in build.prop to max growth 32mb and max 64mb, will see how it turns out :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hush66:
Keep us updated on the results! I'm going to hold off upgrading to ICS if it's going to adversely affect music playback, as I rely heavily on my Xperia S to listen to music.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Mine did it on GB and on ICS being blue tooth connected to a parrot hands free. But if I disable the music so it's connected for calls only, but then audio jack plug my fone into my stereo its all fine, so I assume it's not the music player, but either the bluetooth or the parrot?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zeefung:
Um... if I do not use bluetooth and use a cable headset, it is true that stuttering becomes "rare" ... but I can still experience some very occasional "stuttering" and that is already enough annoying...

With bluetooth connected, the stuttering becomes crazy..

I am definitely going to downgrade to GB tonight; am very disappointed with the upgrade and the fact that this issue appears to be not tested at all
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] realfelix:
ive got the same problem.. sometimes it is really bad, especially when browsing or being in facebook the music stutters continously while the processor is working hard.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
I changed the dalvik values in the build.prop and I must say, the average free ram is now 220mb...

sometimes it goes a bit below 200, but it's always around 220mb :laugh: it wasn't like that before.. I had like 150mb max free :crying:

the launcher is also less laggy
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hush66:
And there's no more stuttering music? Or did you not experience stuttering music before you changed the values?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
I do... but can't test that right now :crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
If this solves problems once you've tested it please tell us what to change and to what values etc :-)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zeefung:
Yes, please tell us what can be done, many many thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
well you can try it yourself ;)

go with ES File explorer / root explorer to /system/

open build.prop

change:

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthsizelimit= from 64m to 32m

dalvik.vm.heapsize= from 256m to 64m

save & reboot

it won't harm your phone :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Does it work tho?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
in terms of free ram: yes, haven't been under the 200mb border! (that was 140~150mb average before)

music stuttering: don't know yet... going home in an hour or smth so will test it then ;)

Edit:

I can confirm it is working! At least for me, I got an average of 190mb free while playing audio! It was around 100mb before :o and I haven't heard a single stutter in the past 15 min! :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zeefung:
Oh, sounds great... I suppose I need to root my phone first before I can edit the build.prop file?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
At the end will be fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
i think 64/128m setting might be better for systemUI crashes.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
Yes 64 is enough for the system but if you play big games increasing the dalvik vm will be better.

64/128 still gets stuttering when connected to bluetooth

Should I try 64/64?

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

Or 32/64 or 32/128?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
Try 32/64.

But I think audio stuttering is kernel related.

I try this and getting xperia home crash a lot, maybe cause I have a lot of widget, gonna try 64/128 one
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
So we need a developer genius to fix it? Bloody Sony! Y don't they test these things!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
32/64 isn't enough for the launcher

64/128 seems to be working fine.

stuttering COULD be kernel related, but since the governor is ondemand stock I doubt that. You could try to install setcpu and set the kernel at conservative governor.. that might help because it keeps the cpu freq a bit higher on all times.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Does it work fine with those figures connected in bluetooth tho?

And as it still stutters should i put my values back to stock or leave them 64/128?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
What would 64/64 do?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
I am currently sat in my van, connected to the parrot by bluetooth, but I've turned off the option for media so its only for phone calls, then I've audio jack'd my fone into the front of my stereo so its playing as aux in instead and there's no skipping what so ever! It's only through bluetooth!
