I wanted you guys to put up a link for downloading the baseband 64 LIVE WALKMAN ,

and will not say I've put two similar topics, because even putting you guys did not respond neither : Good:

Well the title says it all, I was charging my phone and was playing prototype in the computer (unrelevant data :p) but it was like 97% of battery, the screen its always on (since i plug it when it has 30%), and i say ok ok 3% more to go, and start to play again :p, later when i get a message of a friend, take the cellphone and the battery was at 84% :eek: so I think it reaches 100% and then (it was still obviusly plugged, and the screen never turns off) it starts to discharge so quickly... somebody are gettin this type of behavior too??? its like the fifth time that happen to me.... or at least i notice that....looks like its a random behavior

I have ICS 4.0.4 but when i have GB happen that too :eek:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ttiimm:
you can try wiping battery stats and see whether that solves your problem
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KidCarter93:
You might be better off asking in here aswell considering that whole thread is about Xperia S battery life.

I have exactly the same problem pretty much all the time. Most of the time I can kind of understand it because I'm a really heavy user of my phone and will normally be playing music, while texting away, being on here and playing a game such as Modern Combat 3 all at the same time.

But even if I'm only using XDA for example, the battery will still start going down while I'm charging. It'll go from full to approx 80% and stay around that mark.

This is one of the many reasons I'm really tempted to get rid of this phone and get the SGS2 instead #_-

Unfourtanely I'm not a root user :(, I have locked bootloader, and right now I know I can get root, but have to go back to GB and right now I feel to lazy to reinstall all my applications and loose my progres on wheres my water :silly:, besides i think when I upgraded to ICS wipe everything... and before that I used to have the problem

:P, well I try to search if someone say already something about that, but in a quick view dont found anything :(, as I understand you were playing and doing other stuff while you were charging the phone, well that happens to me too, it starts to discharge... even if its plugged, specially with games like "Shadowgun" (a very good game BTW :p), doing other stuff I dont have this problem, the only thing its that the charge only take more time...

I think that if you only use XDA app dont happen that, only the charge will be too slow... anyway there is a problem there... but the thing its that im not doing anything and it takes charge to 100% and then starts to discharge :p doing nothing! :eek: did that happen to you?

My sister have a Galaxy SII, its pretty good too, the only thing is that the UI of Samsung its so ugly :p, but the good thing is that there are more dev's and more ROM's to change in the SII that in XPS :(

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KidCarter93:
Yeah even if I'm just using XDA it takes a lot longer to charge than it should do and I know for a fact there's not a problem with my charger because it charges my brother's S2 brilliantly.

And yes mine has the same problem with draining when doing nothing. Battery drain while idle has always been a hot talking point since this phone was released really and it doesn't seem to have gotten too much better than it was to start with.

Not gonna lie though, if I knew about this phones problems when I got it, I would've probably gone for the S2 instead.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] m1st3r1:
why on earth u keep the screen on while charging? it's the biggest drainer. try using battery monitor widget to see the current that coming or going to ur phone.

when the screen on and data on (3G only) my SXS discharge at 250-760 mA if u have 0.75 A charger or 0.85 A charger it's over the discharging current, so it'll discharge. and dont forget that once the phone get above 90% it'll lower it's current input. so with the screen on and ur phone's above 90% u'll discharge faster.

when u in 84% u'll get the current again only when u re-plugged the charger.

IMO, u better turn the screen off, data off while charging. i use EP850 charger (rate 1.5A), with data off i got charging current bout 1200 mA and got lower to 500 mA when hit 90% (it only take bout 1 hour from below 10% battery, did SGS2 can do this :D ). i rarely charge to 100%.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jacker60:
Well, I think that I dont search enough, dont see anybody complainign about this, well yes indeed there is a problem with that, but uhm, well i preffer XPS over SII :p

LOL, well a old practice since I have android, always leave the screen on :p, i dont know I like to see the screen on while I'm charging, can see the hour and the notificactions I have without even touch it :p, never had a problem, but I see that I have to change that habit :rolleyes: I dont want to know how many time will take charge it via USB, like 5 hours I think :eek:

Well thanks for helping me with this doubt :highfive:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] L551:
Heya.

I'm due for an upgrade this week, and am deciding between the Ion and the S3.

The S3 is good and all, but I kind of want to save some money and get the Ion. For the price, the specs are quite nice, even without ICS.

So, how do you like the phone? Is the speaker nice and loud?

I'm coming from my little HTC Aria to one of the two mentioned phones.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stiffi2011:
Just got the ion after selling my Galaxy Note which is a lot like the Galaxy S3.

I bought unlocked but I think the upgrade price for the ion makes it a no brainer. I mean you can get it for $49 from best buy.

It is a very capable phone. The camera is better at fixed length then the Note, or the Galaxy Skyrocket, or even the iphone 4s. The zoom is not as good however as the Galaxys. Low lighting isa win for the ion.

The speaker is very loud but lacks bass. That is the same on every phone I've ever had though.

The coolest thing for me is the connections. I can hook it up to the tv via hdmi and see all apps. Not just what apple wants me to see like with the iphone tv out. Now if I ever get my ps3 controller to work ill have pretty much a full game console in my phone .

I can't say its the best phone ever and ill probably end up getting another because thats just what I do but imo the ion is as good as there is right now, especially for the price .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 0000alex0000:
the general speaker is not that great. it makes loud enough but not good enough quality sound

phone speaker is almost NOT loud enough, but the voice quality is fine

camera is actually not as good as X10's, but it has much faster shutter/focus speed.

the screen is super clear but kinda yellowish. better check the screen out before you decide buying the ion

don't expect the phone to be completely smooth even though it is smooth enough. it will be solved if we got android 4.1 update

anyways, for a $50 phone, xperia ion is perfect :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schecter7:
Ion Rocks

I got mine yesterday for $50 from BB (I also have a HTC One X). I'd say Xperia Ion will get you the most bang for your bucks - seriously!.

An amazing sharp screen, LTE, 1 GB RAM, great camera & design, dedicated HDMI port and a lite nice fluid UI - I can't ask for more from a phone with a $50 price tag.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deleted member 1483200:
Well I paid 100 at ATT because I was worried about losing unlimited data going somewhere but still great price for what you get. Screen is amazing. I live the HDMI and with LTE I streamed netflix to my TV with zero buffering screens. I love that I can go anywhere and do that. Also quite the snappy phone with a very nice camera

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SMN23:
My last phone that I had for more than a month was also the Aria (Had the HD2 and then the LG Nitro til I got the Ion) and I'm loving it so far, once I get root it'll be perfect imo.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sniktawm:
I don't have unlimited data, but have the 2gb for $25. I want to go to Best Buy, but I fear they might screw up my plan.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] accts:
Renew contract wont effect phone plan. Just tell the associate you want to keep everything the same. If they cant do it there, they can phone in to Att corp. Let them worry about that, for you feel free to upgrade.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] josemald:
I was able to keep my 200 MB for $15 and my 200 SMS for $5 when upgrading through Best Buy. I saw the salesperson screen, and there was an option to check if the customer wanted to keep their plan. Just make sure it gets checked when you're getting your phone. Also, the salesperson might have to call AT&T, it happened in my case, but it might have been because I have a discount at my school and my account is set as enterprise type.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] erwaso:
Get the ion from best buy. It comes with an 8gb sd card and they'll price match Sam's club $40 price. When I played with it in store the speaker was quite loud with xLoud on and the screen is awesome. Not a fan of amoled, just doesn't look right

There's no AT&T in the Sam's Club where I live. Just Sprint and Verizon. $40 is a really good deal. Maybe I should call around other Sam's Club and see if they carry the Ion

I want to install MiniCM7 2.2.1, I understand that the nAa-13 kernel is required before installing this.

I have tried flashing this kernel but get the error: ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"

My phone details are:

Xperia X8i (E15i)

Firmware: 2.1 update1

Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015

Kernel: 2.6.29 SEMCuser@SEMCHost#1

Build no. 2.1.1.C.0.O

I tried installing the mini CM7 rom without the nAa-13 kernel and this soft bricked my phone. I had to download a stock 2.1 rom and reflash it.

Anyone know where I am going wrong?

Thanks in advance

You have to unlock your bootloader first before you can flash custom kernels.

[Motorola Droid 4] strakajagr:
In an attempt to go from ICS 206 to 215, I followed the instructions step by step and using the utility, when I get to the step where it says instill zip file from SD card, I navigate to "D4.6.16.215.zip", apply it, and it says update aborted.

My phone will now no longer boot beyond the M Dual Core screen. It is simply blank. Does anyone have any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 4] icebear8:
i was about 5mins away from doing the same thing you did before glad i saw this gonna, i'm gonna wait until you find a fix (im on .213)
[Motorola Droid 4] strakajagr:
Well I'm back working again, but it's still on 206 even though I went through the flashing process to 215. I haven't even thought about updating my phone since installing 206 when it came out. I have read many threads that talk about "unsticking" to get from 206 to 208, but they're over a month old. I can't follow the instructions associated with unsticking because a) they're written for the razr and thus are ridiculously confusing, and b) the one thread that tries to explain how to use unstuckICS for D4 users makes even less sense.

I posted about where to get unstuckICS on another forum and someone directed me back to the Droid4withICSfix-rootLITE tool, which I already had. Step 16 seems to flash (with a TON of error that are supposedly to be expected) but then I can't apply any zip updates. All attempts abort.

This is all so maddening because nothing I try is working. At least my phone isn't a paper weigh. So I have that going for me... which is nice.
[Motorola Droid 4] strakajagr:
Literally the tool does nothing. I run it. Everything in step 16 essentially errors out. Ultimately the phone reboots having accomplished zero. I am "stuck" on 206.
[Motorola Droid 4] icebear8:
here is a boot.img i got from Droid forums https://www.dropbox.com/s/zwl0e6jx767aksb/boot-6-16-215.img try using this one and rename it to ICSFIX
[Motorola Droid 4] strakajagr:
Tried that. Same result. I have to believe this has something to do with the 206 build that I'm on, though I don't know why that latest utility doesn't address this since the 206 sticking thing seems to be a problem that was addressed so long ago.
[Motorola Droid 4] icebear8:
\how did you get back to normal when you soft bricked? so i know i can get back if i get the same problem. i might try this just to see if it works for me

VRZ_XT894_6.5.1-167_DR4-1_M1-219_1FF_01.xml.zip this is the fastboot GB 219 files correct? my files are all over the place lol
[Motorola Droid 4] strakajagr:
I just booted to recovery and did a data wipe/factory reset, and I was back to stock 206. I didn't use that xml file because I'm not upgrading from GB.
[Motorola Droid 4] icebear8:
well i just bricked my self on the update lol
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Not sure why you guys are having trouble. I used the tool yesterday to go from 213 to 215. Basically we are flashing the GB files, then the boot.img for 215, letting it reboot and attempt to update, it will stick at the moto boot logo, then flashing the update in stock recovery. The only thing that might be of issue is if you are running safestrap, menu 16 is designed to not over write your data. I haven't tried running safestrap and using menu 16 to update. You can try the old method of flashing the GB files, Flashing the boot.img and then recovery update flash.
[Motorola Droid 4] mrAdvo:
In terms of names - are you using boot.img or ICSFIX.img for the name of boot on .215?
[Motorola Droid 4] strakajagr:
Right, but you're not dealing with upgrading from 206, which is supposedly the pain in the ass build to upgrade from.
[Motorola Droid 4] mrAdvo:
I`m going to update from 213 to 215, and still need an anwer: ICFIX.img or boot.img?

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
You should be able to rename to boot.img and upgrade from .213 to .215. As for the .206 upgrade you may have to follow the full upgrade process outlined in the ics upgrade thread in which you have to flash the gb fastboot before upgrading to the next build. It seems to have worked for most people going from leak to leak.
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
If your using the modified D4 tool I made then you should name it ICSFIX. However I think we can shorten the process further and will try to work on that tonight.
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
Wait, are you saying that you can just flash the boot.img without having to fastboot GB?! Cause if that is the case, I wasted a ton of time last night going from 213 --> 215 :D
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Going by the tool you would have to flash the fastboot of the GB files then proceed to flash the current leak. Same as with all the previous leaks. What I meant by flashing it as boot.img is that name format should work, tho jsnweitzel said that with his tool it should be named as icsfix.img instead. he replied right after I had posted and I'd go with his response since it is his code/tool. lol
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
Ok, I was just afraid for a moment I had wasted a bunch of nail-biting time or something :D

I think a lot of people get tripped up at the boot.img --> ICSFIX.img step. Especially because the instructions tell you to rename it to ICSFIX, not ICSFIX.img (which Windows may or may not do for you automatically, depending on your settings).

That being said, it is still incredibly easy to move from one leak to the other with the utility, it is incredibly awesome.(Thanks jsnweitzel!)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
Well I tried cm9 and latest 4.0.4 from Germany... In both I had a screen yellowish tint blinking issue... After flashing stock 4.0.4 I managed to root it via Dr . Ketan method... And also got cwm but cwm won't stick

That said I was looking forward to flash a safe kernel but I was afraid of doing it via cwm because I handle 4.0.4 as non safe (super brick bug infested) so I didn't dare to do so... So with no other option but Odin I didn't want to activate the binary counter because I wanted to return the phone because the yellow screen issue..

In was OMG how can I get rid of this w/o bricking my phone.. Well I have downloaded abyss kernel then momentary flashed cwm and then flashed abyss... When I rebooted the recovery a counter started and freaked me out... I let it count to 10.000 and got tired of it... I thought my phone was dead...

Then I turned it off and did the recovery sequence and it booted into the red cwm(abyss recovery) then wiped everything from there and installed a custom gb rom.

.. Luckily everything went fine and the custom rom booted perfectly.. In fact I'm using it right now checkrom notehd v6 its smooth as hell...

I can not reproduce the yellowish tint here and will try stock gb tomorrow and see if I can get the issue running... I'm worried because if I can't get the issue in gb then I can't claim warranty because it clearly says that I lose it if I change the software and it says the phone comes with android 2.3.6 so that means I'm stuck with gb..

I rebooted into Odin mode to see if something happened to the binary counter..

. And well everything seems fine but but but... I'm really worried about the screen issue as I proved its not hardware issue... How can I claim my warranty?

And wow what a pain in the ass to get rid of 4.0.4 without voiding warranty... :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Final5k:
to get back to gb you just have to flash any gb rom through odin... There was not need to go through the custom kernel for downgrade. .also on Ics, as long as you don't factory reset/wipe you are safe from any brick provided you know what you are doing with the phone and what apps you are installing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
Yeah but as there is some roms that performs full wipe or non wipe and I'm not really sure that's the case for the stock roms from sammobile and or if Odin do a factory reset before flashing I was scared as hell

Noone provides clear steps here for doing things... So I followed what seemed more logical... Wich was getting a safe kernel to wipe without increasing the binary counter

Those "how to upgrade" guides should include at least a link for the safest way to "how to downgrade"

Nvm the point it's still the screen issue I want to know why it happens un ics and not in gb at least in this custom rom... I'm on... I want to change my phone but if I can not prove the issue I can not get a replacement
