whether its correct or not is another story. but thats okay... i have working data now. No i didnt change my plan like some of the people who got dooped into having a 4g data plan and paying out the wazoo for it. i still have unlimited 3g so i am still happy with the data transfer rates i get. though sometime a little fast would be great. i can still beat quite a few 4g phones with downloads and thats just after simple modding. so im happy. but thank you all in response to my previous posts and the information that you have contributed to the forum. it gives alot of us members (senior,noob,veteran, devs) all insight into things we may or may have not known about or not known alot about.

This is the way it will be until we have an ATT ICS rom to work from.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chadw1985:
I understand the post from before. I have the H above my signal. So yea 4G works. No LTE. But its 5.8 mbps with SpeedTest app. Very Fast!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
I usually get around 9 mbps up on mine. We dont have LTE yet in my area.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chadw1985:

I am in AT&T running rooted ICS, should I flash the Baseband from the AT&T Custom Firmware OR the Generic .111 ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] accts:
You said rooted. Didn't you start with .111 firmware and exclude bb when flash .233 ? Then no need to reflash .111. Also you said getting 20mb LTE. You're fine - dont have to do anything else.

If your phone already connects to LTE and is working OK, no baseband change needed.

I'll try flashing the AT&T firmware baseband and see what happens.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ayushextreme:
These are the most difficult steps to root ive seen. so many requirements. But thanks for the work ganesh. To install CWM, i have to follow this guide first right?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
you don't need to install cwm seperately. It is already included in the rooting toolkit.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] q-and-p:
Hi ion users.

will you know that use to get root about adb restore?

Japan localize Xperia T (Xperia GX) and Acro S are using that method after rooted.

I'm going to try it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 44Blackhawk:
I used the method in the video http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30393316&postcount=89. It worked great on the at&t ion that I got 2 days ago from BestBuy. I used the at&t stock gb firmware and the chinese ics found in the stock firmware thread. I now have a rooted phone running ics with cwm working. I got an error the first time I flashed ics, just tried a second time and it went just fine. My biggest challenge was getting into settings the first time to change the chinese language to english!

UPDATE: I found that I didn't have tethering. I went back to at&t stock firmware and started the whole process over. This time I flashed .111 and excluded baseband before flashing ics. I now have tethering and H seems to be a little faster than it was before. I can't comment on LTE as I don't have that service near me. Also CWM seems to just be able to scroll through the menu (both before and now). I'm thinking its because I can't unlock the BL. Anyone with a locked BL have CWM working right?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] q-and-p:
"Rootingkit for XPERIA acro HD ICS Ver1.01" is wonderful tool for ion (LT28h).

Your ion can be get root as same as Xperia acro HD.

It's very simple. You operate Backup&Restore and bat file.

(Sorry I don't reach 10 post. Can't link. Please Google search it.)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
Yes cwm is working, you have to have recovery v4, which is in the cwm thread. That is unless you used the updated rootkit than you're cwm should be good to go. I've made several backups and restored and have installed mods from zip.

If you didn't know

camera button = select

Vol buttons = scroll

Power button= back

There is a CWM thread and it's a good read. Cwm has nothing to do with bl, it didn't work initially because the mounts were wrong I believe.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
You can also use the following:

menu key to scroll down

home key to select

back key to go back
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 44Blackhawk:
Thanks, I didn't know. Coming from an atrix 4g, I kept trying to use the power button! Works fine now.

The instruction here is to Flash ICS into my 6.0.F.0.111 LT28i Xperia Ion Generic International.

How about if I want to keep Gingerbread? Do I skip the Flash ICS Part and flash the same Stock ROM?

Questions on Stock ROM?

a) Is this the same ROM and OS in my current Xperia Ion LT28i Gingerbread, i.e., I will not lose anything pre-installed by Sony?

b) I only want to root, is flashing ROM essential?

GB + Root requires Unlocking the Bootloader which I will not really want.

I read that the Xperia S Rooting method with (Locked Bootloader) works.

http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...for-xperia-s-devices-with-locked-bootloaders/

Will this same method work for Xperia Ion?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
I won't be able to tell you as I had not done it myself.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] childoftheworld:
OK. I'll review all the information.

Maybe some questions:

a) Why is ICS needed to root an Xperia Ion without Unlocking the Bootloader? Is this ROM a rooted custom ROM or is this ROM from Sony?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
Both roms are Sony stock. I believe the root exploit only works on ics.

Maybe someone with GB rooted can make a cwm backup and you could try that, maybe.

The ics is stock Sony and is very nice. No problems for me on ics, I even have tether/ hotspot. Easy to root& install.

None of this is permanent. You can always go back 100% stock with Sony pcc

from my LT28at rooted & eating an Ice Cream Sandwich ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] childoftheworld:
Pardon the noob here.

a) What is a "CWM Backup"?

b) The ICS Sony Stock? What does it include? All the pre-loaded Sony Applications? Timescape?

c) After flashing to ICS, will I have to reload all my applications & data or are they all not touched?

d) You have an LT28at, I have an LT28i Generic International, what will I lose? I have Chinese & Japanese + Stock Xperia Keyboards... etc.

e) I have my MS Exchange Admin apply policies to my phone, should I remove my Exchange Account on my phone before doing these. Exchange policy locks 2 out of 4 device lock methods (pattern lock and none), encrypts my phone and requires a device lock after 20 minutes.

f) Does Sony have a Stock ROM yet for LT28i Generic International - Ice Cream Sandwich?

Thanks

I wouldn't do any thing until you have a good grasp in the info.

I use ti -backup to back up apps and data. When its time to restore I use play store to reinstall apps and use ti -backup only for data. And only certain data, like email app data, text data, browser bookmarks.

Sometimes apps & data from 2.3 dont like going on 4.0 so I dont do a complete app & data restore

The best way is to start fresh no restores, but that sucks big time :(

Without knowing how may units were sold and how many defective units there were no one can answer this accurately. Some things to keep in mind.

1. This forum is full of people that are connoisseurs of electronic devices.

2. The people that are happy with their devices do not complain.

As a sample data point. I know of 7 people that bought the nexus 7. 6 from the playstore and one from Game Stop. None of them have defects. So I would guess the odds are low that you will get a defective device. But with there is an inherent margin of defects in any production run.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] unleashed12:
Dont, the nexus is actually an inferior phone to the one x in a lot of ways. Firstly the camera. And secondly its using a last gen snapdragon processor. Wayy more heat and lesser performance. And dont expect the nexus to even come close to the hox in battery life (owned both phones)

the only thing the nexus has on the hox is jellybean, but that isnt worth all the cons.

Total ripoff trade for you imo.

Lg nitro hd standby time

I was forced to to update my rooted nitro when I got the boot loop problem. I was using android 2.3.5 and when I update it installed android 4.0.4

Thank god I was able to recover my phone since I was unable to put it in safe mode or complete a factory reset.

The tool LG tool I used installed 4.0.4 without (CIQ) carrier IQ which the at&t 2.3.5 had.

The only time I got good standby time with 2.3.5 was with other battery apps, I managed to get 64.5 hrs standby.

Now since updating on my first day testing the new 4.0.4 I got 45.5 standby with 15% left.

Second test I have got 85 hrs and 36 min with 95% deep sleep with 23% battery left.

I have heard people complain that ics battery time is worse than before, but I think its much better.

I don't even think a battery app can give me better standby time than what I got now.

I turn everything off except for airplane mode/volume.
