I'm more interested in underclocking for battery life. Will they do that as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GalaxyS3IsMeh:
Yeah they will. Down to .3 ghz i believe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] harry_fine:
Can either of these be installed as zip files using CWM on a rooted phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xSyKo:
With apps like setcpu you can choose what ghz, high and low
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] harry_fine:
But I thought that the kernel had to support it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
Yes the kernel must support it and the one linked does, but you need to use an app to set speeds or set then in ramdisk.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrfunnyguyky:
So Sprint is partially launching its 800MHz network in September. I'm trying to find if it is actually up now. Does anyone know how to view the current frequency the phone is using? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmchssc:
Sprint hasn't deployed 800 MHz anywhere on more than a few towers except in the Chicago market. Even in that market, it's unlikely for you to be close to a tower broadcasting that frequency.

But just for reference, dial ##DEBUG#, enter the code 777462, go to the first listing mentioning 1x, and look for the line labeled "Band". Most Sprint service is on band 1. Roaming can be either band 1 or 0. Sprint 800 MHz service is on band 10.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wizky911:
777462 is invalid
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
The correct unlock code is 777468. (If that is too hard to remember, just enter SPRINT)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RPerry435:
##debug# does nothing for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shook187:
Correct me if I'm wrong but our phones will never see 800 MHz. The LTE radio it has, isn't built to pick up that frequency.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
I believe that is correct for LTE. But the OP is writing about 1x service on 800 MHz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ydoucare:
I've been on 800 mhz here in NW Indiana for the past 2 or 3 weeks. I'm on the southeastern edge of the Chicago market. All the towers in my area are NV complete for 3G according to S4GRU's maps, and I can confirm that since I can see the RRUs mounted behind the antennas. I've seen 800 come and go a couple times, but it's been on solid here at my house for the past couple weeks. I live in the sticks, 5.2 miles exact from the tower (with LoS) i'm connecting to, and my signal went from around -92 to -97 dbm on 1900 to -83 to -88 dbm on 800 mhz. Significant increase.

I Just got home was going to listen to an audiobook, and I'm getting the very same problem. Are you running stock or custom ROM? I'm going to restore a few NAND backup's to see if its a software issue, or if my speakers just crapped out.

UPDATE: It turns out to be the speakers ;( I've unrooted and headed over to my local staples for exchange. I read where other users are getting the same defect. Good luck.

Ok im no newbie. Far from actually. But i cannot for the life of me flash any generic ftf file. The drivers installed on my computer once usb debugging was turned on. Flashtool sees my device, when I click check drivers it shows my device id. Even adb recognizes device. When attempting to flash a ftf file it starts off fine, once I unplug usb, turn off device, hold power down, reconnect usb it aborts shortly after.

Are there drivers im not installing or are not aware of? Am I doing something wrong? Please help

Update got it fixed. Now running ics. Thanks guys
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Um start the flash with your phone off and unplugged. Wait till flashtool tells you to plug the phone in then hold the volume down button and plug in the USB. It should start the process then.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iceman99393:
Interesting as I thought that the device needed to be detected initially by fasttools, but if it's off how can it recognize USB debugging or model, etc? All that is useless I guess?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
Flashtool will recognize your phone right off, but you still need to install the flashing drivers for it to flash firmware. If you haven't already, go to the drivers folder in flashtool and run the exe.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iceman99393:
I've installed all drivers, also had phone off first then plugged in after it told me to. Still said flash aborted. Im at a loss.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
Try redownloading flashtool and reinstall the drivers exe.

One thing at a time to eliminate in basic trouble shooting.

Do I flash every driver in flash tool or just certain ones?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
You install drivers when windows detects the device you don't flash them.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iceman99393:
I know that windows will automatically install the drivers for my ion... But

I was under the impression I had to install the drivers from the flashtool/drivers/flashtool drivers. where it lists all those devices and then it has flashmode and fastboot drivers. Am I wrong?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
Windows installs the adb drivers (which are needed to run the root scripts), this is separate from the flashtool drivers. You only need to run the exe in flashtool/drivers/, it will install the correct drivers from the lt28. Make sure you have the most recent version of flashtools.

Sent from Rooted LT28at with ICS.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iceman99393:
So all I do is open the exe file under flashtool/drivers, but do not check or install anything in there? Im sorry guys but I find the ion forums to be scattered mess of info
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
Yes, just run the exe as has been stated numerous times.

Many others have completed this process with out issue. There are a ton of post and a video made so the information is here you just need to read...all of it.

This is a new phone with no dev support at the moment. We're all figuring it out. If you need simple then the ion may not be for you.

S1 boot drivers. That seems to be my problem. Is it needed? It fails on install
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
This is what I did to get mine working.

1- Install the newest Flash Tool. 9.0 I think it is.

2- Use the exe file in Flash Tools driver folder. I loaded all the 2012 drivers and the ADB as well as the fastboot driver. If you need other drivers then load them to.

3- Now connect the device with it on and let the driver load. Disconnect, turn off, and connect in flash mode. Let that driver install.

4- Now set up your flash and connect the device in flash mode and it should take off.

5- Enjoy your device :)

6- Just to add if you go to ICS and gain root make sure to install busybox as the one in the root method is not recognized and will cause issues if going back to GB. It creates a system mount r/w error. I just used Jrummys installer on the market.

As for the forums being a mess it does seem that way at first but it is actually allot cleaner than most I have been in. Keep in mind our Dev section is empty for a reason. The ones that are here are doing what they can with how much they know. In time we should see allot more and with Sony being the one who locked the device I would think once the device is being pulled for newer stuff we may get a unlock from Sony. Maybe lol.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iceman99393:
I wound up getting everything working. I am now on ICS. Thanks for your impatience.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
Not completely empty, I got some good stuff there!! :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:

Java exception when flashing xpera ION

Hi Guys

I am having a different problem with the 9.6 flash tool when attempting to update my Xperia ION to ICS 4.04.

I enabled debug logging and basically the log shows the following:

flash process started

flash in progress

The phone LED is green.

then the tool seems to stop doing anything and the progress bar remains at 0 percent.

I also get the following in stderr.log:

Not sure man. Haven't seen that happen yet. What version of windows are you using?

Sent from my Sony Xperia S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] GoodgeStreet:
Windows 7 64-bit

I did try the flashtool 32-bit and 64-bit versions. No difference in behaviour.

One detail about the sequence:

The first thing I see is the progress bar never goes above 0 percent and the debug messages just show this "reply" stuff I pasted earlier.

I waited like 15 mins for it to do something then disconnected the USB cable. I guess that's why it says device is no longer responsive.

Its probably worth getting a full flashtool log for successful attempt on an xperia ion and comparing to see what is exactly missing.

What do you think

thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Are you sure you have the drivers loaded and why is it saying x10flash??? I don't ever recall seeing it say anything about x10.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] GoodgeStreet:
I guess this x10flash message is just the name of the Java library/module and doesn't necessarily mean the flashtool has misdetected the phone.

I am gonna look for a successful flashtool log with full debug messages enabled.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] GoodgeStreet:
I've also forgotten to mention that it is an unlocked prototype phone with a very old firmware on it: 6.0.c.1.257

Hi

I used an older version of the flashtool to continue my investigation - version 0.9.0 instead of 0.9.6.

I reinstalled the ADB, flash and USB MTB drivers.I also cleared the Mtp app cache and data.
