1.If you want a ROM with Overclock you need to Root and Unlocked Bootloader

2.I'm Using Flush78 ICS Exclusive edition for mini and I'm Happy with it so fa

Is that helping? If Yes please press the THANKS button :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GiwrgosP-:
Is it safe to unlock the bootloader?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SS-4050:
Yes but it will void the Warranty
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
If you unlock your bootloader it will void your warranty.

You can do it with testpoint method or very easy official by sony :)

I would use cyanogenmod 9 with the cm9 kernel! It's like on the galaxy nexus (like a vanilla rom)...

Hey,

As you can read in the title: my WiFi connection is so bad compared to my gfs iPhone and I wanted to ask what I can do to improve mine.

I barely get 1-2 bars sometimes I even lose complete signal I my room while the iPhone has 4/5 bars all the time.

I'm from Germany running cm10 nightly with jq1 modem - any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downhere:
Are you comparing just the bars or the real speed?

BTW: Modem doesn't have anything to do with WiFi as the kernel provides WiFi support.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rest0ck:
Yeah I don't know how to see the real connection on iPhone but I can clearly see that I lose my connection while she's got 5 bars ..

Oh okay I thought the modem is important for the WiFi connection.. so is there anything I can do except for changing the kernel ? Because there are just ~2 that works with my rom ( if devil had updated yet).

Rest0ck

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
I keep seeing questions pertaining to charging and/or heat with our batteries. I myself had this problem and Google extensively until I found the cause.

First, it's NOT your charger. It's NOT your phone. It is in fact the nfc technology in the battery. Unlike the NS4G, the GNEX nfc chip is inside the actual battery. You cannot use someone else's charger. You cannot put a non-nfc battery in your phone. You cannot put your battery in a non-nfc phone, and even risk problems if you use a non-oem nfc battery/phone except the ones they were originally paired with. You cannot use a gsm nfc battery with a cdma one. Doing any of the above will potentially cause all the issues people are having and even render the nfc capability useless and then a replacement phone is required unless you don't want to use that feature.

The battery has a "key" of sorts that has been "programmed" to the original device. If a battery with a different "key" is inserted the battery is unable to read the information properly. If you use a charger other than the original one you risk a different amp/voltage than the battery is supposed to have so the next time you put your charger in it won't work. Does anyone remember the NS4G not charging if you used a charger other than Samsung? Once the nfc is ruined, it cannot be fixed..the chip is inside the battery. Luckily I didn't "break" my chip and was able to charge it fully then wipe the stats and go back to my original charger without further issues. Included are some links I came up with for reference. http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-t/430774-non-oem-battery-upgrade.html

http://www.galaxynexusforum.com/for...-interchangeable-between-hspa-lte-models.html

http://www.talkandroid.com/77193-nf...s-battery-secure-tokens-may-cause-nfc-issues/

Yes...there are different devices talked about in these links but the point I'm trying to show isn't the phones. It's the common denominator nfc and the issues they all are having. I had the charge and overheat problem back in April/May. My phone would get so hot it was practically burning me. It would say not charging when plugged in and would have to power cycle then charge to make it work. I tried other chargers and eventually they stopped working also. I don't have this issue anymore. I googled this stuff months ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Cool story bro to the website.

It's proven that the NFC chip is in the motherboard of the Nexus, battery is just holding the NFC antenna
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:

And no, i did not say you're retarded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
i said i was retarded. Those ones aren't the original ones i read back when i had the issue. Saw them and thought they might be relevant. All i know is I didn't have the battery issues I did until I couldn't find my charger and used an lg one and included my extender. Still refuses to charge of I add the extra cord. My phone would get so hot i could feel it thru my otterbox and it would say not charging. Wasn't discharging, but wasn't charging either. Discovered i had to power cycle before i plugged it in and then not wake the screen for it to charge and not get hot. Charged it fully one day with power off, did the battery calibration thing, and went back to my original cord. Had to use a different one the other day and same thing started. Repeated above fix and am golden again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gargamel1:
If that's the problem shouldn't you be able to turn off nfc while its charging then back on again when its done charging. The voltage and amperage shouldn't be diffident enough when using two stock phone chargers that have the same connection type. I'm not an expert I'm just taking an educated guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
actually, i do believe i just saw something on that. At the time tho, I just wanted to get it to charge and googled nfc battery along with some stuff off the battery. These are what Google returned.

And i don't use any other charger but let anyone use mine.

The cord yeah but not the pluggie part
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
The battery only holds the NFC antenna, the actual NFC chip is inside the phone. Using different chargers won't affect anything. The OEM charger will change it's amperage overtime as the battery is closer to being fully charged. It'll also only take as much power as it needs, so the difference in amperage/voltage is irrelevant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
I had an issue. I googled it. Issue resolved. Noticed large amounts of other people having same issues. Posted my findings thinking it could be useful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
As was stated by the other posters, the NFC chip is in the GNex, the NFC antenna is in the battery. NFC will NOT work without the antenna.

phonearena.com is not a reliable source of accurate information.

Hey there,

So I was using eqdkp a few days back and when I press the search button, the app opens up no doubt. But its a Chinese app so whenever I search it searches on some Chinese search site and I rarely get what I'm looking for. If I use .sense the search button doesn't open up anything at all. I am unable to set it as Google search when I press the button.

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks.

I have 8gb sdcard which is partitioned into 6.3gb+700mb( to use link2sd).. Now my problem is, in the folder

/sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails/ there are two files named .thumbdataxxxxxxxxx which is around 500mb each.. No matter how many times I delete them they are created automatically in few hours.. Because of this my sdcard free space is 0.0byte.. I have only a few gallery pics. The size of the photos are 100 to 200mb only.. Is this kind of virus?? I'm using zoner antivirus it didn't detect any virus..

What should I do now..? :confused:

Some one please help me..:o

My phone is Rooted with stock ics 4.0.4
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SS-4050:
CMIIW but the ext partition must be less then 1GB? Try partition it with 900mb
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
Sorry old info.. Now my ext partition is 700mb only...

Noob question - what is sdcard class n what does it indicate n how can we find the class ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SS-4050:
SD Card Class is to determine the SD Card Write and Read Speed,The Higher the Class the better it is

Just ask the dealer...lol
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
yeah i know that .. but how can i find the class of sdcard that i am using now??? i fear the problem is caused by the sdcard itself??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SS-4050:
I doesn't know how to Find it on the SD card (Mine only have Manufacturer logo and SD Card capacity)

Don't think too negative its bad for your Mind and Brain
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kuisma:
Run the shell command "lsof" to see what process using/creating this file.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
Mine also have only the manufacturer name n capacity....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
I'm New to this... How to run it ?:confused: Could you please expand?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kuisma:
Open a shell on your phone, preferable "adb shell", but I guess "ConnectBot" or similar is good enough.

Become root (using Link2SD, I assume you've got root).

Run the command "lsof", best is to do this once you see the file is growing. So try deleting it, and wait for it to re-appear. Due to the size of the file, it must be written to for a long time before it fills up the SDcard. Now run "lsof" (stands for "LiSt Open Files".

root@Xperia:/ # lsof > /sdcard/files.txt

Now open the file "files.txt" in your favourite editor and search for a line containing the file name.

It may look like:

com.andro 7817 app_54 32 ??? ??? ??? ??? /system/fonts/DroidNaskh-Regular.ttf

The first number "7817" is the process number owning the file in question (here /system/fonts/DroidNaskh-Regular.ttf, but you are looking for thubdata). See what process this is using "ps":

root@Xperia:/ # ps 7817
USER PID PPID VSIZE RSS WCHAN PC NAME
app_54 7817 166 283756 24068 ffffffff 2aabc3f0 S com.android.calendar

Ah... calendar...! Now you what what app create this file, and you can continue the investigation of this app!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
I can't run connectbot as root.... It doesn't prompt superuser.. So when I run lsof command as $ it shows access denied...:(:banghead:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kuisma:
No "su" command?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
After running the su command I got root...then followed ur steps...it shows android.process.media

What shall I do now??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kuisma:
Ok, this is a system process. I guess you've got some image with an invalid embedded thumbnail. Move all images from your device to your computer and see if the problem goes away. In this case, at least one of your images is broken, and you'll have to find which. Move all movies as well to be of the safe side.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
Thanks....Ok I will try it... But isn't there any easy way to find that file...coz I have got nearly 1000 photos
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kuisma:
You can find it within 10 operations. Divide and conquer.

First move all the pictures to verify the error goes away. If not, I was wrong, and we'll have to try something else.

If the error goes away, restore half of the pictures, i.e. 500 of them. Did the error occur again? Remove half of the half again, i.e. 250 etc. By dividing by half all the time, you will get down to one single picture in 10 steps.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
Kk thanks dude.. What if still the problem persists?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kuisma:
Still persists after you first move all the pictures from the phone? Then we'll have to try something else, but try this first, ok? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
Ok.. Thanks for your help :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
Finally. It is solved, this was caused by the app audio manager(a.k.a Hide it pro)

When I uninstalled it the problem is gone
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kuisma:
I think this app only triggered the error, not actually was the cause of it. The file is generated by OS code creating the thumbnails, and this is not a part of an app, but called upon by an app. Keep this in mind if it re-appears using some other app.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
I used another app to hide my pictures and :what: the problem occured again...so I uninstalled it and using .nomedia to hide my files :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kuisma:
I still think you should put some effort in finding out which of your lovely girls containing the invalid embedded thumbnail, getting rid of the problem once and for all. ;)

One solution is to simply strip all your images of the thumbnail data.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
it would be a tiresome job(nearly impossible) as i have nearly 10000+ images:D

putting the file .nomedia in a folder pictures folder seems to work very well but not with all folders... in some folder i have put .nomedia file yet the pitures are shown in Gallery... what to do ???? is there a limit in using number of .nomedia files???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kuisma:
I'm of course talking about writing a script looping through all the images, stripping the exif data.

A nice exercise in script programming, wouldn't you say?

There's another good reason of doing this. The problematic exif data may be an exploit (virus) threatening vulnerable programs in you phone and/or computer.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
I don't have pc with me All the time... Only in holidays

So I m finding ways to correct in my phone itself
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kuisma:
But you only have to do this once. Once the offending exif data is removed from the picture(s) in question, everything is A-ok.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:
Is there any android app to do it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kuisma:
NOW you are just being lazy. :p It's as easy for you as for me to search in Google Play for such an app ...

But well, I've already looked. As far I can see, the only app for this isn't working very well, and can't process entire directories but only one picture at a time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ariftwister:

[General Questions and Answers] LuciferAust:
I've been looking for a tablet with a screen size of 12inches+. Yet can't seem to find any.... (apart from the 13 inch one from Toshiba (Excite).

I am just wondering why it would be difficult to make an android tablet at this size (screen resolution issues in ICS, etc)? And wouldn't the Chinese manufacturers like to sell something like this (much higher profit margins, as Samsung, etc ain't making tablets this big).
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Tablets were made to be portable. Making tablets of such sizes would eliminate that purpose. There are no compatibility problems, its just this being a fact. Sales on such tablets would not be high and this can be easily seen for Toshiba's Excite tab. Just look at it's sales compared to the Nexus 7 (the Nexus destroys it).
[General Questions and Answers] thebobp:
Non-ipads aren't selling all that well in general, and at that size the market would be marginal at best.

As Theon says, 11-12 inches probably pushes it in terms of portability.
