[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bodisson:
Class 10? That card might be just too fast for your hardware.

I'm using Sandisk 32GB Class 4 and never had any problems.

I have tried some Class 6 and Class 8 cards with very various results.

Only class 8 card I found correctly working in my device was Memorex, but it was only 4GB.

So I gave up on fast cards...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
its fake or corrupt,did you buy the samsung off a retailer , you always test flash with h2testw before you use it, speed is not the issue,i got a class 10 32gb i had many 16,256,4gb fakes, only 3.7 gb usable droped down to 1kb write then windows couldnt read the storage so you reformat again.

[General Topics] MissionImprobable:
It seems that this is one piece of hardware that fails on everything from Droids to Samsungs to iPhones around or before the two year mark. I know it doesn't happen to every device but it seems to happen to a lot under heavy usage. Is this simply something that can't be helped or is it a vast conspiracy by manufacturers to make sure that we keep buying new devices?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
You can see it here after checking it out. i'm curious ... is this what comes pre-installed on our Ion's? if so... anyone thinking *esp after seeing a pic of it* that this might be why it is so infuriatingly hard to push the soft keys at the bottom of the screen.... idk... just what i was thinking when i saw this.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
That's not what comes on the ion.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
Good to know. Do u feel like putting this overtop would be overkill? Or make the buttons harder to press? I'm only considering it BC of the anti glare and anti smudge. ... please if anyone tries this out report your findings.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
If those two things are important to you then I would say its worth a try. I'm fine with the way the stock screen is and don't really like the way it anti-glare screen protectors reduce the screen quality IMHO. If you do get it please post a review of it though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] harrypalmero:
I bought the screen protector from AT&T the day I bought my Ion. I applied it directly over the factory installed screen protector. At $25 it is a little pricey but I really like it. It has a matte finish that your fingers glide over very smoothly. I haven't had any problems with the soft keys on the bottom. It does slightly reduce the quality of the screen, but I like the protection that it provides.

It is much better than the orange peel effect of the Zagg Invisible Shield that I previously used on my x10. This protector is removable and washable. There is a cutout for the AT&T logo but it hides the Sony logo. I wish it was the other way around. All in all, it is a nice addition to the phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
mind posting a couple pics with the screen protector on your phone with the screen on... trying to get an idea of what it looks like.. and i agree... big time BS it covers up sony's logo... if i were sony i'd have a bone to pick with att over that move...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ameranuck:
Both my wife and I have the Ion and the AT&T screen protector, and about the only thing that annoys me about it is that the softkeys are difficult to engage when the phone is laying flat. There's almost no problem getting them to respond when the phone is in any other position. This may be inherent to softkeys and the screen protector is just bringing that flaw more to the surface. I do wish that Sony had stuck with the keys it had on the X10. Loved those.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
Don't know I you saw but someone posted a great tip for making sure you don't have to hit any soft buttons twice. And its simple. If you slide your finger over the button instead of press on it. I put my finger on the light up line below and slide up. Like a gesture. Works great and I like the way it feels. With some practice Im able to make super fast back key presses without failure.

Which screen protector is good if you want to preserve the screens quality?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KEB64:
I'm torn between putting on a screen protector or not. I'm getting some small scratches from (what else) sand that I get in my pockets from work. I really dislike having such a great screen and having to put anything on it. I bought an incipio case that came with a screen protector and haven't really looked at it yet.

Oh, and then there's the dig I've already put in it from a bedside drop. The nice thing about that is it's right on the edge of the display where the black meets the viewing area.

I'm okay with my phones getting a little knocked around. At the end of their cycle its okay for them to look used. Kinda like a well worn tool. My best phones always ended up like that.

OEM screen protector in Xperia ION

Xperia ION (and some other recent Sonys) come with OEM plastic screen protector, which is easily scratchable. And it looks pretty ugly: you will know this as soon as you remove it. Yes, it is removable. I watched a youtube video where a girl, who is a mobile phone fanatic, demonstrated with a pin how easily one can scratch the screen. I, myself, bought a used Xperia about a month ago and for quite a bit of a discount because screen had many scratches. Then I read that Xperia had scratch proof glass, and I couldn't understand why there were so many scratches on it. So, after watching the video, I removed the ugly plastic: I used scalpel on the right upper corner just to lift off the screen protector and then removed it with my hand. And my Xperia got new life: beautiful clean glass... And by the way, the screen and colors are much brighter, not to mention that touch is much easier now. I am at a loss as to why Sony would put such a horrible plastic on top of a beautiful glass screen...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndronePro:
Hello

I'm currently attempting to use Datagram sockets to send data from a client (android) and receive it on a server (PC). I've followed quite a few different tutorials and I'm still not able to get any results. I've been focusing on the server (as it's behind a router) to see if that is the cause of the problem. I've set a text field to return the Local I.P. once the socket is created but I'm just getting 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0. Could this be because the java server is being run from Eclipse? Or is there something router related don't know? Here's my server code for clarity.

and the window class, just in case.

EDIT: I was able to pass the value to my computer. I should have been using the Private I.P. Address assigned by the router (since both client and server are on the network.) I do not know why the socket.getLocalAddress() isn't working though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danam:
Hi,

I have stock ICS CDMA RAZR, rooted, and I am trying to figure out 3.5 services.

What are:

1. ModemStatsService

2. Motorola Input

3. Homescreen -- I am just using the stock homescreen, and never saw a separate process in the past unless using a launcher.

3.5 Maps is always running, probably due to google location services, but often even when I haven't used a map or any apps there seems to be two instances of maps running -- it appears twice in the running services list.

and, yes, I googled this first unsuccessfully.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] PatrickC:
Where are you seeing these services? I want to know so I can see if they're running in my ROM, or if they should be running :)

The first sounds like it's the Modem Updater

The second sounds like MotoBlur

The third sounds like it could be either the actual homescreen or the app drawer

The fourth sounds like you have "Maps" and "Navigation" running, with both masquing as "Maps" for some reason.. Maybe?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CaFFeiNe666:
first one is about connection, i think it's something that help battery statistics

2 probably keyboard, os something related an input (something about touchscreen)

3 in gb there was no separate process, and you couldn't change home without helping software (home manager) now is a normal launcher, you can change it without problems, so i think they made an indipendent process

maps depends, many apps use maps sdk to work (for example almost anything uses position, fuel apps etc) it's called as a service for this reason, geolocalization also needs maps if i don't get wrong...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danam:
these are in "running services" with ICS, stock. they come up on boot, and the two maps seem to come up after awhile even if I don't initiate any apps.

If anyone knows whether I can freeze the modemstats or Motorola Input, I'd appreciate it. I find that the fewer things 'running' on boot that I have no immediate need for, the longer my battery lasts.

thanks for your ideas.

I can't access download mode. It stuck on the booting screen.

All I have is just a disabled android system recovery like pics below.

Whenever I wanted to flash another rom, it got error "Installation aborted" with status 7.

What should I do?

I have searched and read a lot before I create this post. I am sorry if there is any part I missed to search.

Please help me.

Sorry for my English.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaaan:
Its not hard bricked. You should be able to access the download mode. Please do some more research on how to access the download mode.

Don't be a noob. Be a newbie..!!

Details here.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace King 34:
Its not hard bricked.

its just soft bricked.

if you can access the recovery mode and you have any zip file of any Custom ROM,then you can flash the ROM using recovery.

Go to recovery,

select install zip from SD card and then navigate to the

custom ROM zip file and select yes when asked to flash and then you will be good to go.

be sure to watch tutorials on how to flash zip files using recovery.

Otherwise if you can access the download mode by pressing volume down+home button+power button then you can flash Stock ROM through Odin multidownloader and get your ace back to work.

Hey,

I have a US Prime. However, i live in Europe, and in here, many Wi-Fi Hotspots use the 13/14 channels of the wi-fi spectrum. Since those channels are forbidden in US, my Prime can't connect to these networks....

How can i change the allowed channels on Prime? (without rooting)

tks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
I don't think you can do it without root but the commands to activate them over adb are as follows.

The 3.184 kernel is made by KeiranFTW

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766892

To enable Root access and be able to install this app you need to do 3 things.

1- READ! this wiki from DooMLoRD about rooting

Read the first 8 posts of the above page if you have no idea what you are going to do.

If you think you've understood it all, you can continue with the next 2 things on your own risk!

I will not be responsible for any damage you might do to your phone by using the information in this post.

2- Unlock your bootloader

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

3- Flash a rooted Kernel:

- advanced stock kernel - by DooMLoRD

- SSpeed Kernel v6.1 - by krabappel2548

Be aware, these Kernels are only for the .564 stock roms.

If you want a custom rom you can find them here > KA02/KA03 Sspeed - by krabappel2548

This is something you'll have to do on your own risk!

I do not provide support or take any responsibility if anything goes wrong.

Compatibility Issue

For those getting a This item is not compatible with your device message:

If you use a custom ROM the most likely the Cook has changed something in your build.prop file which Google Play checks to see if your device is compatible.

To fix this do the following:

1- go and get your build.prop out of the /system/ folder

2- Open it in Notepad++ (or similar) and find this line:

ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/ST25i_1262-1658/ST25i:2.3.7/*************

3- now change the red part into:

6.0.B.3.184/R7P_zw:user/release-keys

so you'll get something like:

ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/ST25i_1262-1658/ST25i:2.3.7/6.0.B.3.184/R7P_zw:user/release-keys

4- save this back in your system folder and set the right permissions:

5- reboot your phone and the google play's compatibility is restored again.

Warranty

As stated when you unlock the bootloader:

This

may

void your warranty and/or any warranty from your operator.

So depending on your local operator it could void your warranty.

For those wanting more info check here > Sony Forum

From personal experience I can tell that BASE in Germany doesn't seem to care.

2 days after I unlocked the bootloader and put on a custom ROM my girlfriends phone dropped and the glass was broken.

Without relocking (not possible) or reverting to the Stock Rom we send it back to get repaired. We had to send it back without the rearcover and battery.

1.5 weeks later we got a brand new (!) phone back from BASE/Sony. So no problems there :)

My guess is (but no guarantee) that since this is a 'cheap' phone it's to expensive to let somebody repeat it so they just send a new one.

So I think that operators/sony will not complain about the unlocked bootloader as long as you don't send it back for software-issues (since this can be caused by wrongfully unlocking/rooting/custom roms etc)
