Thing is, im seeing most (if not all) Lag issues with games by Gameloft. Common denominator?

Anybody experience lag with any other game publisher? Dead trigger plays beautifully btw

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ales47:
Is there a way to flash a kernel from the phone.on cyanognen wiki it says that you can flash kernel (only .img files).but firstly all custom kerlnels here come in ftf format and seconly would that even work? I just think that flashing kernel from the phone would be a lot easyer than through a pc.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
No, you can't. Its phone dependent what you can do and the 2010 xperia phones can't. It could be added in but it would probably take a lot of work and JTAG

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DrKrFfXx:
Recently I've been noticing an increment in battery usage while playing music, at first, I thought it was because I upgraded my earphones (from Sennheiser CX300 to Shure SE215), but it doesn't seem to be the case, as I still have the older ones and the problem remains.

So I just started monitoring, well, the CPU usage, I started Google Play Music (but the integrated Player on ICS also suffers from the same problem), and let CPU spy log 13~ minutes of music playing while the screen was locked and off. Things get worst with the screen on and actually using the phone, simple tasks as webpages loading makes the music skip badly.

Is this kind of CPU usage normal while you're just playing music?

Oh, and I'm on stock ICS on a Xperia S.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amfirbek92:
Absolutely not..my cpu is in deep sleep often when playing music..see what processes are running..and what governor do u use?is ur phone rooted?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DrKrFfXx:
Well, my phone is rooted, and I have the governor set to conservative in CPU Master or whatever it's called.

About the running proceses, I don't think there is anything draining the battery all by itself, because it's only when playing music that I see suspicious CPU usage. Otherwise, my phone enters deep sleep mode when locked.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amfirbek92:
Wait..this values are when listenning to music and phone locked or u use it??

Then what kernel u have? Try change kernel.. i use KSSpeed kernel here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28510568

With pegasusq governor ;) and it's batt and temp and cpu friendly
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DrKrFfXx:
Those values are while just playing music and the screen is locked.

I have stock kernel, since my bootloader is locked.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amfirbek92:
Recheck the processes(am sure the prob is here) and u can try kernels..i gave u my opinion ;) gd luck
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DrKrFfXx:
I'll recheck everything, but I don't think I can use another kernel since my bootloader is locked, can I?

Thanks for the help.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amfirbek92:
Sure not..donno how? I can help u too ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DrKrFfXx:
Well, just an update for my issue. I have deleted (deleted files, not formatted) every media file of my phone (had well over 1900 songs, bazillion of photos and well, some other stuff), and reorganized my songlist with just the basics songs (468 as of now), and no photos.

CPU consumption went down to this level:

It's no where near deep sleep levels, but I can feel the phone being more responsive, and well, those 15 min of music played drained 1% of my battery according to battery stats, compared to the 8-9% the previous 13 or so minuted drained.

I can only imagine the problem being related to the amount of files the mediaserver process had to index, a file being corrupted and was being checked continuously or something the likes of that.

I'll continue researching.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumgum89:
A while back I installed CM7 on my backflip when i still used to it (now have Atrix 2) , now I want to start modding it again but it wouldnt turn on, I left it charging for a while and it would just show the white M screen, then a black screen (which was still lit up) and then completely off, then again and again and again etc. on one of those boots i pressed the J and D on my keyboard and unplugged it from the wall and hooked it up to my computer, flashed RSD lite with 2.1 and now it sometimes makes it all the way booting up and after like using it for 5-10 seconds, bam, restarts, I think it is a problem with the software too not a battey issue ( i know the BF has an issue with the battery that makes it restart ), because when I booted up into recovery mode to do a factory reset the phone wouldn't restart like it would the other times, been trying to fix this for two days with two different batterys but sadly no success, any idea how I can fix this? I love my backflip and hope it isnt lost forever. Also when I boot it up after flashing with RSD lite it doesnt show me the android setup screen just normal 2.1 boot, then 5 seconds later restarts

Please Help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertydvorakascii:
I have the same problem. It appears to only occur when using chargers that check resistance on the data pins to determine output current. My old iphone charger causes a boot loop, even with a full battery, while the included Motorola 550 mAH charger works fine, for example. Have you tried a different charger?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CeloKO:
Does anybody ever had this problem?

when you use the S pen with S Memo, if you leave the zoom level of the note in the pattern is ok, but if you increase the level of zoom and write with the pen, it writes in a different position on the screen.

The letters/lines are drawn far from the pen while writing/drawing during zoom, but it snap to the right place as soon as pen is removed from the screen.

Does anybody know how to fix it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Meda:
have you a cover with a magnet?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CeloKO:
No, no cover. The RocketRom v6 works fine but the v7 and above has this problem :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Meda:
try this: go to the application, choose smemo and clear cache and data.

otherwise, try to reinstall .apk

maybe, you could try to clear cache and dalvik from cwm (only if you have an advanced recovery)

EDIT: I verify similar problem. I tried to write pushing the button on the pen and after the problem disappeared.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Meda:
UPDATE

I used the rubber of the app to clean the screen and after the problem disappeared.

Its true, the app need a fix.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CeloKO:
Yes, and after that if you write and zoom again the problem returns.

I'm returning to Rocket v6. I use S Memo everytime...:rolleyes:

thanks anyway

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camattin:
Does anyone know how to get a hold of the 'feature' in the stock AT&T rom that lets it automatically authenticate/login to AT&T wifi hotspots? I've tried a few of the 3rd party apps and none of them have been successful. It'd be ideal to have that functionality available after having moved on to CM7.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jcclark:
Was told to move post to this forum. Any help is appreciated.

Does anyone know what the radio version for the C Spire Galaxy S II (SCH-R760)? Accidentally flashed a US Cellular mod with the Samsung update tool and after restore, my data is down. I'm thinking I need to find a ROM to install the stock radio.

If I am an idiot, and this could be caused by another issue, please call me out on it.

Much thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Do you still have talk and text? If so it sounds like your data keys might be bad/erased.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jcclark:
What should my next step be in that case? That a job for c spire, or can i fix that with the right info?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timmons98:
Did this get fixed?

Was you able to get your phone back up and running?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
C Spire should be able to fix it by flashing their ROM.... but can you elaborate on what you flashed by update? Just flashing a ROM shouldn't change the data settings as far as I recall. (Certainly someone on a ported Boost or other MVNO phone would know).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timmons98:
I think what killed his data was flashing with a kernel that wasn't built to work on the Cspire carrier network, not the ROM itself. On all of the walkthrus I find. They have you flash with an FF18 or FF24 kernel to root the device. After that I think the data is lost.

That is my theory on it since I am reluctant to flash my SCH-R760 by Cspire. I really would love to have jellybean
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
Every since I've rooted the battery in this phone reminds me of my galaxy nexus and that's the reason I sold my galaxy nexus. I have tryed synergy ROM and cm10 with same results. Every 2 mins it drops a percent. I miss the battery life without the phone being rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wera750:
How long did you riun the respective Rom's?

sent from my unlocked bootloader Sg3 :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
Synergy for 2 days, cm for the last 12 hours
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Might just be a defective battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thebrink:
root alone wouldn't do this, synergy rom/CM10 might - if you want to "go back" you should only simply have to flash a stock root rom again.

you should probably verify that the screen is turning off, or check the battery life statistics under settings. It could be a bad battery calibration perhaps? Probably should let the battery run down/charge up to calibrate (not sure if that's how it really works on phones but it works for laptops)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
Yeah when I charged yesterday it only took a hour and a half from 0-100 I ran it down today to O and charged up again took 3 hours this time and its not dropping as fast very weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alexinna:
You can try BetterBatteryStats to find out what if anything is draining battery.

Did you try to factory reset your phone? You probably need to return stock ROM first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
I oded factory 2 days ago
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidGraphix:
I bet it is your battery. My battery has always been great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mav3rick478:
Sounds like a bad battery because when I rooted battery was the same and since the unlock battery has gotten even better! Kind of scary if you think about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] egore93:
My was doing that also. I use Synergy 1.7 now and use setcpu and have presets with screen off max 348 min 348 and I get killer battery. I also charge my phone when it is powered down. If you charge at night with the power on the phone stops charging at 100% so you may lose 8%. Your phone will do a trickle down to catch up to the normal reading. So you will lose 1% every couple minutes when you are on it till it catches itself. Yesterday I had tow hours and twenty six minutes of screen time with 13hrs on the battery and still had 46% battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chip594:
The general rule of thumb is that a Rom usually takes anywhere between 3 - 5 battery cycles before they Rom settles down and the battery normalizes

[HTC Rezound] Eddie Hicks:
***edit---title should read SIM not DIM***

In spite of the fact that I have a SIM card installed, every time I boot my Rezound I get the following error message "A sim card is needed to operate this phone. Please turn off your phone and insert your SIM card". I recently rooted and unlocked my phone and this situation seem to start happening soon after. I'm not using a custom ROM. After the error message the phone finishes booting up and works without any issues. Though I did get a couple of unexplained reboots this past week. I tried removing the battery and re-seating the SIM card several times which has no effect. Does that sound like a SIM card issue,an app issue or the phone itself? So far the phone is working in-spite of the error message but I'm concerned it is the beginning of a worst problem. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Might be an issue with the battery cover itself. Try cleaning the contacts.

[Asus Transformer TF700] JON123123:
I just want to make sure that rooting this tablet doesn’t unlock the bootloader? I am not ready to void the warranty yet, although in a month or two I’ll probably be bored with it and will end up unlocking it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Rooting doesn't unlock it, there is no exploit for unlocking the Infinity, so you would have to use the unlocking tool by ASUS where you will see some precautions, questions, agreements, etc., so no worries of confusing the two.

See, however, this thread on the thing we've been discussing lately.

Thanks for the info. And thanks for the link to the thread. I was looking at that early yesterday and was going to work on doing something about it this afternoon.
[HTC One S] phositadc:
I've tried the following:

1) Installing HTC Sync Manager and HTC Sync (the older version of Sync Manager)

2) Installing the drivers included with hasoon's All-in-One Toolkit.

Neither works. Both methods result in a device labeled "E:" showing up under "Portable Devices" in Device Manager, but adb devices shows no devices, and if I choose on the phone to use it as a disk drive, it does not show up under My Computer.

I previously had a Galaxy Nexus and I had the adb usb drivers installed for that. The only thing I can think of is that the computer is somehow still defaulting to those drivers instead of using the HTC drivers, but I don't know how to solve that problem, if that is even the problem.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Oh, and I also had the android-sdk installed for my Galaxy Nexus. Any chance that completely uninstalling it would help?
[HTC One S] -=W1S3=-:
I had the same problem but i just figured out how to make my PC to see the HTC One S

(My Windows 7 is in Italian, so I don't know the exact translation for the links)

Start -> Right click on Computer -> Manage -> Devices -> Select the HTC Android Phone USB Device you will have in "DVD/CD-ROM", right click on it and "Deactivate" it, then you have to right click the other HTC Android Phone USB Device you will have under "Disc units" or something like that and right click it, then "Software update" (I repeat, I don't know how the buttons will be in English since I'm on Italian windows, but it'd be similar) and select the second button "Search driver software in my computer" then again the button below "Choose manually" and then just click on "Disc unit" and finally "Next" and it should work...

Hope it helped!
[HTC One S] Charkatak:
Try this first:

Install drivers on you PC, as you have done. Also don't forget to enable "Debugging mode" in settings. After that, when you connect phone to PC, don't select anyhing, leave it at default of "just charging".

If after the above it still won't work, then you will have to:

1) Uninstall the drivers that you installed from the toolkit.

2) You will need to change how windows handles installation of drivers, once the device is connected.

a) Right click on "Computer", then properties.

b) From the left, click on Advances System Settings

c) Click on Hardware tab.

d) Click on the second button "Device Installation Settings"

e) If you have "Yes..." selected, select "No" instead.

f) Now select "Install driver from Win Update if it is not found on my computer and save!

3) Restart you PC

4) Go to the Hasoon's All-in-One Toolkit folder and install HTC drivers again. Just make sure your phone isn't connected at this time.

5) After intallation is done, just connect you phone. Make sure "debbuging icon" is present on the phones notification bar and that is it, you don't need to enable usb storage mode.

Hope it helps.

Turn your ;phone into gsm mode in call settings set a screen lock and go turn your screen off wait 15 secs and then instead of entering screen lock go to emergency dial and enter #073887* and then call it it will ask for unlock code and where did you buy your code and is your photon for usa sprint because i need to unlock mine too thanks

Unlocking 2.3.5

Just kinda curious here, is there any efforts to crack the bootloader?

At these point I no longer have faith whatsoever at Motorola, but I still trust the dev here in XDA. If there's any word that there's some dev working on to unlock the bootloader on this phone, I'll be most likely keep my photon. Otherwise i might've start to look for another :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
I feel pretty confident in stating that we will never see an unlocked bootloader for 2.3.5 ota. Ever since moto and google abandoned us people have been leaving in masses. Had we gotten ICS and seen our JB roms enter complete stages of stability I believe the Photons popularity would have skyrocketed, bringing more interested devs to the table. But as it stands, our little beast of a phone is dying. The photon was released in July of 2011. By August of 2013, there will be next to no one left.
[Motorola Photon 4G] galeshka:
Well that's kinda s*ck. Been playing around with Joker ICS on my previous mopho, and it's really great actually. Motolola should've at least allow us to unlock the bootloader if they won't provide ICS/JB. Till then, I guess no more motolola for me. Kinda s*ck too, cos their build quality actually better than most other android manufacturer. Oh well...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dragonmoon07:

Why can't we downgrade 2.3.5 to 2.3.4

I've looked around the forum and see it can't be downgraded but i haven't found any technical reasons why it can't.

so can someone let me know if i can restore my photon 2.3.5 to a 2.3.4 full nandroid backup. from what i seen a full nandroid does a deep backup but i'm unsure if it also rewrites the bootstrap.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
Probably didn't look hard enough then. There's a software fuse on the locked bootloader that prevents an unlock. The boot loader is signed by Motorola and cannot be reversed. You cannot downgrade your bootloader. You cannot unlock if you are on a 2.3.5 photon.

That being said. If you made a bootstrap recovery, it will only replace your system and other files and you will probably need to flash some modules to get WiFi and some other things to work if they screw up
[Motorola Photon 4G] zervon36:
Bootstrap recovery restores old bootloader?

Thanks for the quick reply, does the bootstrap recovery restore the old bootloader?
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
No
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dragonmoon07:
Could we ask a few devs at Google to spend 5 minutes and unlock? Google devs are good enough to that or at least yell at Motorola maybe?
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
It might be worth a try your idea but I'm not sure of anyone that could help. From what I've heard, we'd need a new unlocked bootloader engineered with the updated signature version. We'd have to ask an engineer at Moto to leak that, that's if it even exists
