Hi there xda members.

I got the st15i and I have tried some roms but u have found issues at nearly all of. Like battery drain, auto screen open, problem at loader and so on.

I want to find the perfect Rom (ICS) that will have no issues, I want is as stable as the official.

Until now I tried kamarush's Rom but I think it has faster battery drain and kinda weird issues, exempt that I tried the ExMIUI 2.8.10 and I have now that rim but I have the problem at the market, I can't download any app, I am getting an error after long time of waiting to start the download.

So is there any Rom that is based from official without having any mods or tweaks (if some that won't make issues to the phone ), to have just some unnecessary apps removed so the phone can be lighter and the launcher to be like the official one and not like Sony's one.

I opened the topic for locked bootloaders but when I will get my answer I will make it for unlocked ones too .

Sorry fit my English from now if I have something not understandable
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
Real ICS :good: there are 2 version,one is normal and the other one is lite version
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] leonleonleon:
What are the differences in that 2 roms ; are they based on the official ; which launcher do they have ;
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Augustinas:
if like Miui you can install ExMiui v4 rom. realy good rom and stable. on Aroma installer chose locked bootloader
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] leonleonleon:
I am asking fir a Rom that will have the stock isc launcher, trebuche was the name as I remember
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
The lite version is like a clone of the stock Rom,almost all of the content is same (UI,etc.)...the normal version is based on stock Rom,butwith many mod installed in it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ScatteredHell:
Try official ics
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] leonleonleon:
The official is the easiest way. I am searching for a Rom that will be the official but with the unnecessary apps removed and to be with the trebuche loader
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MRU5:
I had to go back to cm7 because my only real problem with ics is about media scan, doesnt refresh and is a pretty bad problem, dont know if someone else have the same problem, but while im over gingerbread, maybe jelly bean would be better, im using a st15
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ScatteredHell:
I dont have that problem in ics.

yeah, jellybean should be better
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] leonleonleon:
How about the cm9 rom. Will that work for locked boot loader?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] john_aldz:
Help with Real MIUI

I'm using Real MIUI by kobzar and for some reason I am not getting the option to select the USB connection mode when I connect my phone to PC.

Any help will be so much appreciated. See screenshot, I am not getting that option and I don't know why.

Already tried:

1. fresh install of everything - no go
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rudjgaard:
If you want a stable rom which is just like the official...why not use the official and use any app to manually remove unnecessary programs? There's also a script to do that http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php...her sd managment tools recognize the sd card?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] john_aldz:
Yes, the SD card is working fine - not a big deal but I really want to have that option if it's possible
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rudjgaard:
Not necessarily, depends on what you delete. There are several lists of system apps that can be removed without causing any issues, in the bloatware removal kit i showed you there's a pretty extensive list of programs safe to remove.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] leonleonleon:
I decided to unlock the bootloader, it's much easier that downgrading, rooting etc.

Is minicm lite stable as the official cm9 ;
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] khicon256:
Let's Unlock BL and u'll have more better choice ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] leonleonleon:
I will do so today or tomorrow.

So does anybody know the differences/stableness between the minicm lite and the official cm9 ;
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deleted member 4736004:
Most stable is stock Rom . No doubt ... but I have also found real ics 5.2.and cm7.2 stable.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] leonleonleon:
Have you tried minicm lite ;

Hello there

Is there any fix for the netflix app , since i cant get any video/image , just sound
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Nope. Been like that since the beginning of our ICS builds.
[Motorola Photon 4G] manybreak:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cirerita:
Hello,

I just bought a refurbished SGH-I777 which seems to be great. It came with Android 2.3.6 and Gingerbread UCKK6, if I'm not mistaken. It was locked so I rooted it to unlock it. It's now Android 2.3.4, Kernel version Siyah 2.6.35.14, Build number UCKH7. It seems to be unlocked. I tried several friends' SIM card and they all were recognized, but when I tried to use mine (a prepaid Tracfone card I was using on an old LG5000G), I'm told the USIM card is not valid and that I need to buy a valid SIM Card. I tried another prepaid Tracfone from a friend and it didn't work, either.

Are prepaid Tracfone SIM cards compatible with this unlocked unit? Or do I need to change some settings in the S2?

thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Rooting and flashing custom roms doesn't unlock the phone for use with other sims. Fyi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cirerita:
As you can see, I'm new to this.

After rooting the unit, I used Helroz app to unlock the phone. Tried several SIM cards and they all seemed to work, save the Tracfone prepaid ones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] techjeep:
Tracfones have special hardware and non-standard SIMs. You can only use a Tracfone SIM on a Tracfone phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cirerita:
Thanks, I didn't know that.

Is there any way to transfer the minutes I have left in that Tracfone SIM to a non-Tracfone card? Or am I stuck with Tracfone until I use up all those minutes?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] techjeep:
It's a closed system. You have to use up the mins with Tracfone or just eat them as a loss.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cirerita:
I guess I'll use it for a while as I have over 400 minutes left.

Any tips as the best pay-as-you-go plans here in the US? I don't need a monthly plan of any sort as I really don't use the phone that much. I would need something similar to Tracfone, but compatible with my S II.

Looks like Straight Talk is compatible, but I think a monthly plan of $30 (or more) is required.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] techjeep:
I don't know of any minute based BYOD services. Best case is a non-contract monthly plan. Simple mobile is another option, but you'll only get Edge data on an AT&T phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] budfarmer420:
I'm running straight talk on my GS2 and getting HSPA+15 all day every day. $60 kit from their website that included SIM and one month of unlimited everything. Best purchase I ever made for my GS2!

P.S. The monthly plan is $45! Cheaper than AT&T by a long shot

Hi guys I am looking for a charging dock for my Samsung galaxy s 3. However, this is the problem I want a dock that would fit my phone with an otterbox on it. I have the commuter series otterbox. Most of the dock I found say that they would fit with cases. But would the dock fit my case. I am not really in a hurry but I would like to get one before Christmas.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Curious!:
When I first installed apps to my infinity, the play store was fine. After i performed three or four factory resets, now market stucks at downloading apps at some point. If one app gets stuck at `Downloading` , that`s it: you can`t install it from the store anymore. It always gets stuck

Sometimes it follows this pattern

one app gets stuck --> cancel download manuall

the next one installs fine

the next gets stuck --> cancel download manually

the next installs fine

so on and so forth

Do you experience this? do you have any suggestions?

I tried rooting and replacing the play-store apk

trying to download with 3g connection. with wifi or ethernet but no luck

I have tried one more hard reset but again ....
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Are you getting an error message?

Sometimes what helps is --in settings-accts/sync-- removing your Google account, then in apps/all-- force close the play store, clear cache and data, then go back to open play store--it will make you sign-in again. Then you should be able to download your apps successfully. Do you have it set to auto-update? That could cause a bottleneck if you have a lot updating at the same time.

Hello everyone,

I am new here and french, so i am already sorry for my bad english !

I have a transformer prime and i am looking for the good process to root it and change the stock ROM.

So, whats' your opinion and advices :

- for the best root process ?

- what are the apps for root ?

- for the best custom ROM (easy to use, good performance) ?

Sorry if another thread has the same topic !

Have a nice day,

Matthieu
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Hi Mattieu,

You will probably be told by some that you should have searched first but unless you know what you are searching for it is kind of difficult since I see this is your first post. You need to decide how far you would like to go with this to be honest. First you can root your stock rom, you can install a custom rom, you can unlock your bootloader (this voids your warrenty) but after that you can install a custom recovery do backups and install custom roms. Also you will be in a position to use nvflash which will allow you to recvoer from most software bricks.

Rooting and playing with roms with no nand backup can be slightly dangerous but like I say you need to decide on your comfort level first.... Also if you go beyond the stock rom you may not be able to get any ota updates depending on what you do. If you unlock you definately cannot get ota updates but as soon as there is an offical release of a new rom, the developers have a custom version within a couple of weeks to a month...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GS_Dan:
This is great for rooting. Simple as pie.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratman6161:
As mentioned the device is easy to root. I have stuck with the Asus ROM and have not unlocked but I have rooted and used Titanium Backup to freeze apps (including system apps) that you don't think you need. This is a really safe approach for a beginner because frozen apps can be easily restored. This is important when working with system apps. On my Droid 3 phone for example, there were some system apps that I didn't think I needed but when I froze them I found that I actually did need them (i.e. it caused something else to break). Rooting also will let you overclock if you want to.

The other point is that the release of the Asus Android 4.1 release is probably imminent, though we don't know exactly when - it should be soon. Personally I'm going to stick with what I've got until after that happens just to give the new Asus rom a chance. You will not get this update if you unlock, though the custom ROM developers will probably have their own version of it out not too long after the stock release. Still, I'm taking a wait and see approach for the time being.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] huhhh:
Thx for your responses !

So, i should wait for the new ROM stock version (jellybean isn't it ?). OK

But i can already root the tablet, there's no link with the ROM ?

And before running the root, i should use titanium backup to save my actual configuration, in order to restore it if there's a problem ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jitin02:
Just wanted to share my ****ty experience with Sony support so thought of making a thread where all can share there's.

Apologize if its made by someone somewhere

So here's mine

1 month back send mail to Sony support when there was problem with signal drop and camera blue spot and I am still receiving mails for them saying to visit service center. Receive 3 mails from them saying same. They really suck. Though the problem was solved here on xda.

And if visit service center the technician sucks at knowledge and way of taking

Btw. Talking about Indian support

Where are you from :-/ !!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] acefiredx:
After calling Sony several times, I finally spoke to a person that understood what I meant by unlock bootloader(Yes, most of them had no idea what I was talking about, I even used simple terms such as developer unlock phone officially from Sony website etc)

The person said that they will fix the yellow tint since its a hardware issue. What is NOT covered after unlock bootloader is phone internals such as CPU or motherboard damage. They said they have put me in queue to send my phone in for repairs.

It's been almost 2 months and I am still waiting for my turn to repair my phone.

I called them up 2months ago they said I couldn't send it in now as there was no stock of the screen.and the shipment would be arriving next week. A week later I called and they said still no stock, next shipment in 2 weeks. Well, it's already 2 months and I'm not sure if I will ever get a chance to even repair the tint.

Honestly, poor customer service. Phone technical support staff don't know what is bootloader and they can't get their schedule right on when is the freaking shipment coming in.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] red.leader87:
My original sxs had a hardware fault where while updating to ics via pcc the update stalled at around 25%. I never had access to the phone again, despite being able to successfully flash back to stock gb, bootloop. This was within a few hrs of receiving the phone.

I was initially advised by my carrier to call Sony support and doing so I was immediately put on to a guy who understood what I was on about, thankfully....however the local service centre wasn't actually Sony rather a decorated mobile phone repair company. Several phone calls later and I discovered that my phone wasn't officially supported on their website when filing my details to see them, or send the phone in. More phone calls later I was advised to just come in-store for the fix. By this stage I was exhausted with worry, frustration and disappointment...

Ended up calling my carrier and claiming a Early Life Failure. They sent me a satchel, I called courier, deemed irreparable, got new phone sent... All took about 3 weeks.

So I worry about Sony's support but I'm hoping this will improve over time. From Melbourne, Australia.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jitin02:
In my experience HTC support has full knowledge. Even if it is Bootloader even if it is unlocking. Whatever. You name it and they are ducking there to help.

But htc sucks in UI and Sony rocks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] artisticcheese:
Hello,

Anybody knows how can I check if phone is under warranty or not? I'm on company sponsored account so I don't have access to online tool, all I have in my possesion is phone itself. Is there any tool or something which based on IMEI of the phone will find this information?

Thanks,

G
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
The phone has a 1 year factory/samsung warranty for sure and phone isn't a year old yet so you have that at least...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ditto-trolling:
hey, im in the same situation as you, i have an account with a Corporate and didn't get the phone from Telus but from a dealership that is in Montreal, and i was wondering the same thing. You have one (1) warranty on the phone and you can check the status on Samsung site and register your phone to see the Warranty status.

hope this helps... i'm unfortunately without my phone since i HARD BRICK it. lol and its now at Samsung at this moment and will know soon if they fix it or not. lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
May sound too simple, but call your provider and ask.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nexii:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] deserthi:
I called ATT to ask about warranty and was told that they have no responsibity because I am using my phone on Straight Talk. Samsung has the one year warranty I guess.

If I was using it on ATT they I guess they would take care of it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Then call Samsung and ask. Or register your phone on Samsung website.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] entropism:
Pretty much. One of the downsides of using a prepaid service is having to go through the manufacturer, or having to buy a 3rd party warranty like Squaretrade. On the other hand, you're paying $45/month, so no complaining allowed. :D

My teenage daughter is prone to dropping her phone. She has already trashed the screens of 2 iPods. I'm going for the Trident case from all the stuff I'm read so far. But it's a bit boring for her.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UMXXWK/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

She's more into bling.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QY1QHQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

I can wrap the entire phone in acrylic armor protection. I've already done the mall kiosk screen protector.

If I go with the extended Hyperion battery,

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00885RTG2/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

I have not seen any kind of cases that can accomodate. Any ideas?

I can't see me convincing her to use this:

MY EYES!!!!!!

That monstrosity of a case.... jeez!

You could go with the slim anker battery or the "gold" battery extensively reviewed here instead of a 3500mah if you want it to still be able to fit in a case.

The trident case is really the best as far as protection for this phone, and with the rubber trident logo on the back, it provides a really great non-slip grip on the back of the phone. I can put it on my dashboard and it doesn't slide anywhere. That said, if she's used to the multitude of crazy/wacky/sparkly cases available on the iphone, I can see why the simple elegance of the Trident case might not be for her.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] txmtb:
Go with the Trident case and let her "bedazzle" it herself, then she will have an original case no one else has.

Best suggestion. Ever. They even have it in pink lol.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Anker battery and trident case works for me, i've dropped it a few times without issue.

Going for an extended battery which requires a new, thicker backplate will virtually eliminate all protective case options.

Why not get a Trident case and put glitter and sparkles on it?

Yea I have had a friends mom buy a normal case and get it bedazzled.

I tried volume plus a week ago for the fist time and wow did it make my speakers vibrate. After some more ROM flashing i decieded to flash nexuslouderv3 and it worked. I got sorta greedy and used that with volume plus and the sound went back to stock. I tried flashing with one of them being used and vice versa but no luck. I even formatted my system and data but no luck. Anyone have suggestions?

Trinity has the same thing too. The volume boost is only for headphones anyway.

Are you saying louderv3 working but then stop functioning after trying to use volume+? If so disable volume + and make sure your musical effects (in settings>sound) is not set to volume+.
