[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Why So Serious?:
Hi Guys,

My XS has been behaving strangely the past couple of weeks and I was wondering whether anyone had an idea as to why it might be.

I'm running STOCK Three UK .75 firmware, no root, no boot unlock.

1. When waking the screen up by pressing the power button I noticed that rather than my standard lock screen, I had the old X10 lock screen load up instead. I probably wouldn't have noticed had the clock not been so different to the Xperia S stock clock... but it shocked me since these were OLD software UI elements that must be on my XS somewhere, and something caused them to render rather than the current UI.

2. When swiping to a different home screen I've noticed the screen black out temporarily before continuing with the animation and loading the next home screen. I'm not a widget intensive user... I've got clock and google search on one screen, "tool" toggles and track ID on another, and accuweather on the third.

3. Facebook images flickering and sometimes staying greyed out. Wifi connection is strong so it's not a connectivity issue... it seems to be a graphical issue, as with the rest of the problems. Facebook news feed sometimes stays completely black, though the UI elements are rendered at the top perfectly.

4. General increased lag across the UI as a whole.

Rebooting hasn't helped... removing a number of apps I thought might be causing issues hasn't helped. Any idea what has happened to my XS all of a sudden?! Seems to me like whatever is rendering graphics is having a problem.

Is it likely to be firmware related or a problem with the graphics chip? Maybe a bad app? The official Three UK ICS is available to me if that might solve the problem?

Cheers.

Try a factory reset before upgrading.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Why So Serious?:
Factory reset hasn't affected the symptoms at all. I'm wondering whether my gpu is struggling? Is there any way to test its performance?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
All you can do is flash another firmware or update to ics,if the symptoms still there than you have to send it to service.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] huntedsoul:
I have also encounter the few problem as you have mentioned on .75 (generic uk)

But after upgarding to ics it has completely gone. Try upgrading it to ics, I'm sure that 3 have already rolled out ICS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pixy132:
The first one is a common problem experienced in GB fw. Sony fixed it when they upgrade the fw to ICS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 3stage:
maybe try running a benchmark app like antutu benchmark and see how your device compares to other using stock rom etc
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Why So Serious?:
Thanks guys.

I ran an Antutu Benchmark check and it came out at the same levels to other stock users so I guess there's nothing majorly wrong.

I'll flash ICS and be done with it I think.

Cheers again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 3stage:
at least its not a hardware issue fella, good luck sorting it, post back if it sorts your issues maybe beneficial to someone else

Lloir is not the only one who request this theme... Make it TWO!

I've been searching for a Donut/Eclair launcher that works on ICS or even JB for ages.
[HTC One V] sohamssd:
:eek: why would anyone want that?? Is that even possible?
[HTC One V] JalmiNyondong1933:
I personally think that its really cool. Plus, if you are a HTC Veteran (someone who own more than 5 HTC devices) or someone who own early Android version device, you will probably miss its launcher, skin etc.
[HTC One V] sbkjuggalo:
Yea there r people out there that like that, there is a go launcher ex theme that I've seen for there messaging app that is a old screen block style black and green theme called.... something 1998. Ill look around for u guys and see what I can do. Or get someone to do on some other forums it would be nice to help someone out that is more advanced then I and maybe get a thank u out of it I've helped a few and I just get screwed but that's life

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Talal916:
Hey guys, I am a Nexus S 4G user looking to buy a new (used) phone. I've been researching phones for about a month now, and it eventually came down to the Droid RAZR and the HTC EVO 4G LTE/HTC ONE X. I've decided to go with the RAZR simply because I'm really liking the slimness of it. Now I'm here to ask you guys what issues do I need to know about the RAZR and what should I be wary of when buying it. Also, if there are any ex-Nexus S users in the RAZR community, could you please let me know what you found lacking in the phone compared to the Nexus S? As far as I can see, NFC is the only let down, but I only used it once or twice. Thanks in advance!:good:

Edit: Sorry, just realized I posted in the wrong section. Please forgive my noon self, and move this to the Q&A mods please?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BakaPhoenix:
Since you are coming from the nexus s, if you are used to flash roms kernel etc, forget them. The razr have a lockedbootloader and few dev so is a bit a let down from this point of view.

If you don't care about modding then is a really good phone, is slim, very well build with a good reception. Someone say that the wifi is not that great i find it normal. The camera is not as good as many other phone.

Compared to the newest phone (like the htc one x or the galaxy s3) is slower but if you don't play game is still a fast phone.

So to sum up, if you can find it at a good price then is worth buying it (considering it you don't care modding, if you are buying android for modding then i suggest you to forget motorola)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Talal916:
Ow, is it really that bad? I feel so stupid now for not checking the development for the RAZR. Guess I'm just a spoiled Nexus user :p When you say the camera isn't as good as some phones, how would you compare it to baseline phones such as the iPhone 4S and Galaxy Nexus/S2? Also if you've had any experience with the Nexus S camera, can you please tell me how the RAZR's camera compares to that? Thank you soo much for the help especially for warning me about the boot loader issue though! :banghead:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] eyriiii:
no the camera is decent and is like/or better than IP4S,sgs2 etc...specially with ICS
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Talal916:
How is the video recording and image stabilization? I was watching some camera test videos on Youtube, and the RAZR's camera looked really shaky?

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eyriiii:
I guess u are seing reviews when RAZR had GB? They have improved the camera a lot with ICS update imo
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iBolski:
There IS development for the RAZR. Yes, it doesn't have an unlocked bootloader, but KEXEC is in development which will allow loading of new kernels. Currently, it's main issue is that CPU1 stays offline for some reason when booting up modified kernels.

Otherwise, there is a pretty good development community out there. CM9 is out for the RAZR as is MIUI. There are other ROMs as well. Again, it's not like the Galaxy which has an unlocked bootloader, but quality-wise, the phone is awesome. Excellent radios, fast and responsive and just thin like a razor! ;)

If you can, you might want to look at getting the RAZR MAXX. Much better battery life than the Original (OG) RAZR. I have the OG RAZR and I can get pretty good battery life IF I don't play games. But, with some tweaking, I've been able to keep it going all day at work if I limit my use to texting, checking emails and some web surfing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTIMKV:
I suggest you spent a little more to get a Maxx. The extra battery really worth it because LTE is much, much more power hungry than 3G. Here in NJ I saw several listing for Maxx asking 350, and Razr for 275.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Talal916:
Thank you guys for the help! I'll definitely take the MAXX into consideration as battery life is a big point for me. As for the lack of development on the RAZR, I'll keep my Nexus around as a backup phone in case the development gets too slow.

By the way, does the RAZR/MAXX have any known defects or issues that I should check out when buying used?

Thanks again for all the help!:thumbup:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mkarps:
I just bought one used and should have tested the speaker as it was faulty. Swapped it out of my OG Razr though and ordered one on ebay. I got a mint maxx off craigslist for 300 yesterday.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mkarps:
I agree also there is lots of development for the razr locked bootloader or not.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Talal916:
I read your post after buying the phone but your right, I should've tested the speaker. Thank God though everything seems to work perfectly. The closest Maxx was about an hour away , so I settled on the base RAZR in white, mint condition for $250.

Is rooting easy on this phone compared to the Nexus phones? I think I'll play with it for a few days before I root it and flash it to metropcs. :D

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eyriiii:
very easy, check out the development section
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
The RAZR camera isn't that good. It comes out blurry sometimes. Pictures only come out decent in sunlight. And from time to time I experience lag. It's very annoying.

But going to a Motorola I knew I was sacrificing things. Now I got a reliable wireless radio phone and great battery in the RAZR Maxx and ICS, closest to stock ICS that isn't a google phone or a custom rom!

I had a Galaxy S2 on Sprint before this phone. That phone's camera kills the RAZR in video recording and taking still pictures. And I never EVER had lag on the GS2. My big beef with that phone was it had the worst wireless radio on it combined with Sprint's network, sucks.

Hey Guys:

I have a Qmobile A5 running on android 2.3.4 with a kernel version 2.6.35.7 and I cannot find anyway to root it. I have tried multiple methods but none of them have worked yet.

My phone is also running system recovery 3e so it gives messages of signature verification failed. I tried ROM Manager to download the clockwordmod but my phone is not supported.

So any ideas on the rooting or signature verification? Plus if I could get a link and some instructions on how to install clockwork mod manually I would really appreciate it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gesange:
Try using super one click, but download and install your phone drivers to your PC first:

After installing drivers, start the application (Run as administrator) and press `Root" button.

Wait for it to finish, and allow installation of busybox if it asks.

Enjoy!

So you understand, your not rooting Android, you rooting the hboot section of the phone.

I don't know exactly whats wrong with your device. But you can try a factory reset or something like this. Or if this don't work just flash CM9 with Wipe again.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LordJeremy:
Hi all,

since 10062012 (and now also beta9) the rom wasn't very smooth for me. The launcher laggs a little and scrolling is slow. 13052012 was very fast and smooth so I don't know what's the problem. Just want to ask, is anybody else experiencing this problem, or is there something I can do about it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] FrankyDoodle:
Overclock, change governor
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LordJeremy:
Already overclocked to 825, governor smartassV2, still laggs. Don't you have the same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] warface123:
change governor to lagfree
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LordJeremy:
well, it doesn't lag much anymore. But it is still slow. if you compare with 13052012 it's much slower. I watched a video of someone with a galaxy ace with beta 9, and his rom goes speedy. Don't know the reason....
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] warface123:
overclock to like 900 mhz or 921
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LordJeremy:
Then my phone will reboot. max for me is 825.... So this rom won't be smooth unless I overclock to 900?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] emyaz:
do all full wipe before install

sorry for my bad englisch :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LordJeremy:
Here is the way I installed the rom:

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache

install rom

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

Could there be something wrong with it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] wojtek267:
I heard some people also have this problem. Maybe you should just wait to new release? Nota bene, are you sure you've got the same settings like on previous nightly?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] alkspo:
use v6 supercharger + loopy smoothness tweak, it made my gio super fast/smooth on my gio, but i changed back to 2.36 because i needed the camera recording :x
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LordJeremy:
yep, I do this with every rom. But if someone else doesn't have this problem, please share your way of installing. maybe it's the baseband. I use S5660XXKT7 (the dutch latest firmware). What baseband do you guys use?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] wojtek267:
Way of installing nor baseband don't depend on speed
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LordJeremy:
somehow regained my speed with the use of s2e, moved everything to the sd except for the applications data. If I move that too, what would be the improvement (yes, I know I'll get more internal space then but is it faster?)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] wojtek267:
All I knkw is that internal memory is faster than SD. Try, maybe it will be successful, but scores won't be amazing
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] hanpro:
Wipe data, factory reset will help your phone work smooth :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] emyaz:
can you share the link to "loopy smoothness tweak" :)

Sorry for my bad englisch :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LordJeremy:
Well, I somehow managed to get things a little bit smooth, so I guess this discussion comes to an end. So... I got a off-topic question, but I guess it's better than opening a new tread here ;). Will flashing from stock to custom give you better peformance/stability? Instead of flashing a custom firmware over a custom firmware? (like one with much bugs to another one with bugs for example?) I always had the idea that flashing from stock is better. Can this be corrected?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] wojtek267:
Doesn't matter if you do wipe

Recently i've been trying to install a new ICS rom on to my phone for which i have to first install the kCernel-CM9-v03.ftf file through flashtool....

but the problem is that when ever i try flashing the kernel, the following error shows up on the log :

ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"

to flash the kernel I first copy/pasted the ftf file in the firmwares folder in flashtool... and then went into recovery mode on my phone... but that doesn't seem to work anymore...

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitefang3456:
Hello, is your problem still there or solved? If not solved, try use older flashtool version to flash KCernel by placing inside its subfolder "firmware"..should work properly. You can get the flashtool link i recommended in newcomer thread. :)

Btw, not necessary flashing kernels means unlocked bootloader. Locked bootloader also can flash kernels exp Azuzu's. And if you curious to check bootloader status under my newcomer link too. Hope helps. Cheers.

Whitefang
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankan1:
As whitefang said you must be sure if you have unlock bootloader to flash kernel for UB (unlock bootloader).

To check that use s1tool (link in his tutorial - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27437237&postcount=4 )

To flash kernel You must go into flashmode (phone turn off, press 'back' key and then plug to the PC) but as i say, be sure that you have UB.

Hi guys ! Sorry for noob question. Is there any way to have galaxy nexus virtual button besides flashing PARANOIDANDROID ROM ? Thank you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad387:
Well, you are going to have to flash a ROM I think to get it, but I don't know if Paranoid Android is the only option. But, frankly, why do you want virtual buttons? I like having physical/capacitive touch buttons on my Note. Doesn't really bother me too much. But, regardless, Paranoid Android is a great ROM to test out anyway so you should probably give it a go if you are willing to flash it that is.

Thanks for posting but you do realise ROM chefs in sensation:

1. Cant use OTA for another device

[HTC Sensation] torxx:
1. You can use it, if you are a good dev :)

2. They are currenty based on C2 yes but it's surely not the Desire C. Ville C2 is the One S as well, only with another processor (S3 Qualcomm). It actually should help you a lot..

and previous dev use Htc ville for base of sense 4 rom :laugh:

thats because at the time the ville base was all that was available, now the there is the c2 base which is the best fit at the moment because the chipset it is based on and screen res matches the sensation, coming from the ville base to the ville c2 base fixed a whole load of issues with sense 4 roms, seems a backward step to go back to a base which doesnt work aswell as the base being used currently for sense 4 roms for our sensations. buh ah well something is better than nothing, il let teh devs deal with this
