Hi

I've completed step 1, Step1-rooted.bat, PCC won't allow me to update due to modified software, but when I load up Flashtool, it doesn't 'see' my downloaded firmware [FIRMWARE][6.1.A.2.45] Cz, see attached screenshot...

I'm currently on Firmware 6.1.A.0.452, rooted with unlocked bootloader, I've flashed my phone before without any problems, I really don't understand why Flashtool won't recognise the .ftf files, can anybody please help?

read above fellas, there is a new better root method that works on all ics roms

this method should work as well on .50
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] corum3:
Download your rom from here http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Sony+(Ericsson)/SE+Xperia+S+(LT26i)/STOCK+ROMS/ICS then unzip it into the flashtool/firmwares folder then flash.

Ps try .2.50 its much better (in my opinion), yes its italian but you have all languages.

Hi,

Have anyone tried this on 2.55 (locked bootloader)?

Please let me know. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] youri_69:
Yeah, I want to know that to!

I'm currently on rooted 6.1.A.2.45 and the update for .55 is on pc companion.

Don't want to update if that would cause loss of root...

Hi Guys

This is my first android phone. But from what I know, Android supports true Multi-tasking. However I'm having some issue with it.

Here is the problem:

Suppose I open Google Local.

1) I get the Local's first screen and then browse though the Places and select a place.

2) I look for the direction from Place A to B.

3) I 'Get Direction'.

4) Then I get the Map with Direction and my Location.

Now I press the home button. I assume that this Map would be running in the background any way.

So I go the Recent Apps and hit the Local App again.

Instead of screen in Point 4 ( The Map), it always opens the first Page of Google Local(Point 1). So Now I again have to search the same place again and Get direction to get to the map.

But What I wish is to have this tracking run in the background and when I open Google local again, it shows me the map instead of Local screen.

I know Multitasking works in some app. Like Tapatalk. When ever I open it, it always opens in the same page as I left it. Even after days.

But why is Google Local not acting the same way. :(

Am I doing something wrong?

It does not require root and you can import off a SD card, flash drive, and external hard drive. It's a really smooth interface. I'm not the developer or anything but I made a video review of the application.

Nexus Media Importer works on HTC One X+...

Hi everyone,

I just tried Nexus Media Viewer (the free version of Nexus Media Importer) on a new (locked / non-rooted) HTC One X+ from AT&T. Simply amazing!!! I connected 2 completely different MicroSD cards, 8Gb and 16Gb and they worked. I was able to see their contents on my HOX+. I also tried an IBM wired USB mouse and a Logitech M705 wireless mouse (using a USB dongle); they worked flawlessly and I was able to see a cursor, scroll through screens and select using the mice! Awesome work.

i saw some forum's answers that it just maybe some old sim card -

i was adviced to change my sim card that was made back in 2002 for a new one -

not sure what may have been changed - but since all the phone numbers and messages are in phone (and google) memory

you risk nothing, and this sim change should be free.

i've already ordered mine and it awaits for me in cellular operator office :)

Turn on your hotspot on your cell phone and be done with it. Then if you want your tablet to be your phone, use an app like tablet talk.

Keep seeing posts on forums for hardware addons for the likes of SD card and sim, may not be impossible, needs more research,the SD can be added via rear camera circuitry, but needs 5v feed, this is still being looked into, sim is going to be harder I know but something may turn up, even if it were an external add on would still be worth it.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DdcCabuslay:
Install the x-parts app and through the app install recovery.

To boot into recovery, turn on your phone and in the Sony Ericsson splash screen (not the boot animation, the first screen) and when the LED indicator turns blue, press volume down, then you'll be in recovery.

Next time you post a question use the Q&A forums.

Factory reset shouldn't do any harm. It's just going to delete all your data on phone and restore default settings. Anyway, if you would eventually have some problem, you will be able to fix it with Flashtool.

My contract is up and my upgrade is now in full effect. I currently have the nexus s 4G and the nexus tablet so needless to say i am a fan of the nexus line. That being said my contract is up and i am really looking at getting the SIII. Wanted to get feedback from this forum on whether or not they still love their phone after being out for several months yet or do you think it is worth waiting (for who nows how long, probably end of this year) for google to release the new nexus phone? what do you like about the SIII, what do you not like? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MadFlava:
Buy mine for a little more than you could get it for with your upgrade and keep your upgrade for the next Nexus when you call sell off the S3. Problem solved :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MadFlava:
Im selling my Sprint SGS3. I was saying he could buy it and keep his upgrade intact in case A) He wants to cancel or B) Something better eventually comes along.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ButtaKnife:
I wanted to hold out for the next Nexus, but after seeing the S3 and its specs I couldn't wait any longer. Granted, I was sick of the horrid camera on my EVO 3D, but I still feel like whatever the Nexus has for specs will be pretty comparable to the S3. If you have more willpower than I do, it might be worth waiting. If you can't wait, the S3 is fantastic. (Ignore my posts about battery life - I'm pretty sure I'm at fault and I haven't figured out why. :D)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
I was forced to use my upgrade when the sIII was out but I wish I had the next nexus
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akns:
It looks like you're selling yours for $450 though... How is that "a little more than you could get it for with your upgrade"?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
Depends on whether you want a Motorola nexus or not. After the lawsuit Samsung lost, they may not be making another mobile device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MadFlava:
Its way cheaper than walking in and buying it off contract.

Not to mention Im throwing in an SD card and it has an Invisible Shield HD on it. You couldnt walk out of Best Buy much under $300 after you add in tax. Hell, Ill pay the shipping at $450.00.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
So you think Samsung will stop making mobile phones because of this? Good Lord, I hope you're wrong, that seems a bit much.

But to the OP, if you wait it out, your next question will be "get nexus now or wait for SGS IV" assuming what KB said isn't true of course.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xTmDarren:
right.... so the number 1 selling cellphone company in the world is going to stop because of Apple.. The only thing I see coming from this is Samsung will stop help making the Iphone 6 when it comes out next year (Not the Iphone 5 coming in a few weeks).. Which I think has already been confirmed..

You are are about as clueless as your name sounds...wake up get informed before making stupid remarks like this.

Calm down man. I guess I should have put some smileys. My comment was purely sarcastic in the sense of being disgusted in the outcome of the lawsuit. Opinion is opinion, not fact. I sincerely hope it doesn't come to this but as I read somewhere, it wouldn't hurt Samsung to stop making cell devices as their profits can come from their many other products.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bondosho:
I was going to wait, but jumped at the S3. I'm happy with my decision.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pacifik.fuzion:
the S III is a good phone. matter of fact it's a really, really good phone but nothing gets the development that a nexus gets. chances are the new nexus will have specs equal to or slightly better than the S III. you could have the best of both worlds by waiting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FL0OD:
Wait. Although this phone is still new to date there isn't much AOSP development. With out that this phone is nice but.... TouchWiz other than bells and whistles makes this phone, slow. I have had cm10 and aokp on this device and it's a totally different animal. I guess I understand why people like TouchWiz but it really takes away from this phones true potential. Just really depends on whether you want a phone based on performance or one based on glitz and glam. I would not be surprised to see a quad core in the next nexus with the 4G lte chips becoming available. Something else to consider.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
The nice thing about TW phones is you have the choice...you can always put AOSP on here, but you couldn't go vice versa on a Nexus phone. If you despise TW that much, then you wouldn't want it anyway, but there's no question the Galaxy series phones ALWAYS have the best hardware when made. You can always change software, but you can't really change the hardware.

The biggest question in my mind is will the next Nexus have the new A15 processor. If it does, it'll be a mighty big upgrade. If not, it won't be that impressive from a hardware standpoint, maybe up to par with what the SIII already has, but six months later.

New processor tech like this only comes out maybe once every three or so years I believe. If the Nexus has a dual A15, it'll smoke anything else out without a shadow of a doubt. Then I think some people, myself included, would be a little bummed about getting the SIII when we did. Heck, I had my upgrade for a year and a half before I finally got the SIII, and I'm glad I did. This phone is freaking awesome, but my only disappointment was it didn't come with the A15.

The other thing is will they release a new Nexus without a new OS? I don't think they can possibly release another OS this fall. I think like 60 some percent of phones are still running Gingerbread which would mean those phones are running three version old software. Not exactly an ideal situation for Google in my opinion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jbluna:
Remember there's hundreds of android products around the world from high end to low end. These things simply just take time. Remember when froyo was the majority and gingerbread was the minority? Well look it now. And also alot of older phones just dont have the right processing power/hardware to run ics properly
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I do remember, but that was about a year and a half ago. I'm saying if they release a new OS with the next Nexus as they usually do, I bet less than 30% of phones will be on ICS+ when that comes around and that's three months away. ICS was a major upgrade so I understand not all phones can handle it when they throw all the carrier crap on there as well, but they need to change something IMO if they ever want to battle the ugly 'fragmentation' argument.

While that argument doesn't apply here at XDA, we only make up a fraction of the market.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jyams:
Many articles yesterday on specs for new Nexus phone. Good news? Not much. Basically same phone with minor upgrade, with less internal storage but with a microSD slot. I'm surprised it will be the same size screen as existing Nexus. Thought they would at least go as big as the S III. Oh well, hurry up and wait.

"SamMobile has supposedly acquired leak specifications for the next Nexus smartphone from Samsung codenamed "Superior." Also labeled as the GT-I9260, it will feature a dual-core ARM A9-based SoC clocked at 1.5 GHZ, 16 GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot for extra storage, an 8MP rear-facing camera with flash, a 1.9MP front-facing camera with HD video recording, and a 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED screen."

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bitbang3r:
If history is any guide, the next Samsung Nexus will be "this year's phone, with last year's hardware specs" by the time Sprint finally gets it. In other words, a reheated & rehashed GS3 in a new case, released a month before the GS4 arrives to make it look like an antique.

Just once, I'd like to see a new Nexus like the original N1, released with bleeding-edge hardware that totally blows away everything else & raises the new hardware baseline so high, every phone that came before it intantly becomes an obsolete relic.

We haven't had a phone like that in *years* -- A no-compromise, no "value-engineering cost-cutting" phone with the fastest CPU commercially available, the biggest & best screen money can buy, two rear cameras with full documentation (for 3d, or pseudo-HDR, or whatever cool use somebody can think of), a big honking 4200mAH battery, and maybe even a pogo pin-connected internal I2C + power bus, so we could have things like a snap-on alternate rear shell with slide-out keyboard (or gamepad) and more Li-ion goodness stuffed into every cubic millimeter.

But no, it was not meant to be. We'll wake up, and see that the next Nexus is just another "me too" 1.5ghz quad with a gig or two of ram, middle-of-the-road cameras, average battery good for ~4-6 hours of active unthrottled use, and mid-grade display that neither sucks nor inspires. Sigh.

What he has done and what he said are 2 different aspects in life. It wasn't the smartest thing that he has said in life I am sure However; it was an incorrect statement regardless of "who" he is!

Had you made this clear I never would have said what I said, nothing personal at all! From a business stand point multiple streams of income are always great to have. Shutting down a stream of income that you are dominating is never good for business, and will cause their stock to fall. That not only makes no sense but would be a bad idea for investors unless you were losing money.....ask Rimm!

GS3

Honestly you can wait and wait because there will always be something bigger and better but I will tell you the GS3 is super fast and if you want to get even more speed then you can load up some Jelly beans.

Good luck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MadFlava:
I saw leaked specs for the next Nexus somewhere last week and its a step up from the old one but its still not up to S3 standards. The processor was slightly faster and theyre replacing the screen, that was about it. Ill have to see if I can dig them up again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FL0OD:
We can only hope that is just a nexus redo and not the "new" nexus. And really if you aren't going to run this anti TW you will never see this phones true potential. Hopefully we will see more AOSP development for this phone. TW with Jelly Bean is still TW. Garbage in, garbage out.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jbluna:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] air2k57:
I think the reasons nexus one was so good due to everything else sucking. Back then, every android phone was bloated and slow. I felt as if I had to root just to be able to use it, and even then, still slow. Nexus one set a baseline for android, just months after it was released other manufacturers began to catch up. Now, you do have devices with amazing hardware, so really, speed is there. The main thing that sets it apart is software, and updates. CDMA is an afterthought though, nexus is being released way late and software updates are way behind. Galaxy nexus on jellybean is freakin fast, faster than most other phones day to day.

If only Google would finally step up the camera, then I'd be happy. Although, if these leaked specs are true, no reason to buy it over galaxy nexus, pretty much same phone, wouldn't be much performance difference at all.

Why would you want a quad anyways?! Yes, benchmarks will look amazing, but day to day performance? Eh, don't buy it. Android runs great, so long that you keep software stock and not bloat it.

Look at the pos slider sprint just got, the sanyo one. Horrible specs, but has ICS. Runs really good actually, other than screen sucking that is.
