Hahaha.....

Funny thing is I was probably the biggest blind Verizon fanboy out there. I was scared to switch because of coverage... Latency... Throughout... Dropped calls... Blah blah blah.

Made the switch and couldn't be happier (yes I had unlimited also)

Yes the latency can be higher, but unless your playing a first person shooter I haven't been able to tell the difference.

There is just this sense of freedom you get when you switch, like you are out of the controlling grip of Verizon... Hard to explain but it feels better..

I would at least try Tmobile

That is exactly what I have been doing. I bought my s3 outright from craigslist.. sold my razr maxx.. bascially paid like 30 for my s3.. I am happy with the s3.. so I didn't mind doing that. especially when the announced the iphone5.. lol made me even more happy that I got the s3..

[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
I did the upgrade to ICS and to be honest there's more garbage in it now than before.

I'd like to root it and get rid of the included junk.

Anyone here do it and how much success did you have?

Any problems in the rooting process?

All help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.:cool:

This is Android,not Windows so a pointer or two wouldn't hurt,if you could spare some?:confused:

I've seen those ... but I do appreciate the heads up.
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
I did use the search function.

I WAS curious to talk to the Bell cellphone guys to see if they've done this and if they had,did the regular methods work,or was there any quirks to the process?

By your statement,I would surmise you've done this with a Bell branded Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
Time to bring this one back from the dead.

I've done the bootloader unlock at HTCDev and as soon as I turned the phone back on,it started to broadcast and Bell offered a "security update".

Stupid me,I accepted.

Now when I try the all in one root kit,it restarts and gets to the silver/white screen with the "HTC" logo - no "simply brilliant " underneath.

Either I'm doing something wrong or Bell's "security update" was designed to block this action.

Any ideas appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] RayQ1223:
Hi. I want to use the supercharger script everyday. So I put it as a schedule everyday 3:00AM after I fully charge my phone when I was sleeping. Will anything happen to my device? I'm curios because I only want to charge my phone from 0 - 100%. And when I fully charge it, it reboots for the supercharger thing. And it is interrupted. Can anyone tell me Will anything happen to my device?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
please make it more clear
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] RayQ1223:
I mean when I fully charge my phone then the supercharger script will run which includes superclean( wipe dalvik-cache and reboot) and it will use up battery. That means if the battery goes to 100% - 98% means it will charge again from 98-100. I want my phone to charge from 0-100 because it is good for battery, so if it charge from 98-100 is it bad for the battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
nothing is wrong in charging from 98%-100%

charging from 0%-100% is required when you want to calibrate your battery
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tietganFTW:
It's not exactly bad to charge your phone from 98% - 100%. Just that it is recommended to charge your phone from <20% - 100% at least once a month as it helps to improve your battery lifespan. I charge from about 50% to 100% most of the time, and only charge from 0% to 100% every 2 weeks or when I feel that it is needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] F4uzan:
Don't worry about charging from 98 % to 100%, i charge from 80% - 100% every day (well, not every day, but mostly)

Hello there!

Ive been trying to root my xperia s using the following: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1881850

However, I havnt installed the superuser app ZIP file on my phone since it was also downloadable in play store.

Now:

- Im stuck in CWM recovery mode

- I cant mount USB storage,

- my PC doesnt recognize my phone (yellow triangle with exclamation point saying "MTP USB Device")

- when trying to flash a stock kernel it cannot find my phone

Im using a Sony Xperia S

Please Anyone?

Cant find any solution to this problem, who's in for a lending hand?

Please Anyone some help?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -Harsh-:
Go to dev section, and open the thread for flashtool and check out how to install the drivers manually, many users have that problem, sorry can't paste the link as I am replying from my phone.. Once you have installed the drives just flash back to stock :) All the best

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

And the thread you mentioned is for unlocked bootloader only!! If you have already unlocked the bootloader than why go for that procedure.. It's very old... Directly flash a custom kernel with a Recovery and root :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] torturo:
Thanks for the info!

could you maybe send the link later on? i cant seem to find anything on how to manual install the drivers..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -Harsh-:
Hit thanks instead of saying it :D

And what you gotta do is this..

download http://www.mediafire.com/?lt8ghch95u5abgo

If you open it, there are 2 zip files.

1. open drivers.zip

2. extract it somewhere

3. open device manager (or whatever it's called in English windows)

4. connect your Xperia S in fastboot mode (volume up and plug in USB)

5. in less them 3 seconds, hit right button on S1(something device with exclamation mark)

6. select "update drivers"

7. select somewhere\x64\usbwin folder

8. hit ok.

at this time your Xperia S will be allready out of fastboot mode.

9. wait for windows to install drivers

10. wait another couple of seconds, and plug Xperia S in fastboot mode again
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] torturo:
thanks again ;) plus thanks button is in full effect atm, i just got it connected but it connects as S1boot Fastboot. What to do from here on out? Sorry for the noobie question, i just dont want to make this any worse then it already is.

Yeah, but I'm wondering if this behavior with the stock firmware/modem firmware normal?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amosljl1995:
I experience this yesterday, however, after calling up my Carrier, they manage to do a refresh on my network regarding the APN.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
How exactly did they do that? At their end or at your end?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
It happened again. I was monitoring the service menu and it didn't even attempt to have a status of "connecting" when I enable mobile data, it stayed at "disconnected". I then enabled and disabled flight mode while monitoring the service menu and it immediately had a status of "connecting" and then "connected".

With this observation, there's got to be something wrong with the phone, really. If this is NORMAL, then I can accept it but if it is an isolated case then I will be very worries. Is this grounds for claiming my warranty now? Or will a better modem firmware solve this issue?

Please help me.

well xml can put another SIM in your phone and check how gprs is having . similarly you can put your SIM in another phone and check. by doing this you can make sure whether it's a problem with your phone or carrier

What's xml? But I only have one microSIM and one phone that accepts microSIM. I've read that this was a common problem for the S2?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaidev.s:
xml was a typo , sorry , lol . you can use micro SIM adapter and check. well I'm from India , here getting a SIM card is very easy , I had this problem with my s3 , when I tried with a different SIM card from a different carrier I found that gprs was working normally.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
Really? You had the same exact problem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaidev.s:
yes , first I changed my modem but the problem was still there , then I changed my carrier and found that it was working the way it should. I had problems with getting push messags delivered because the gprs connection went off .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
Are you saying that the connection went off whilr it is turned ON? For my case, the problem only happens randomly wherein it doesn't connect when I enable mobile data but once is connected it stays connected no matter what.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
I just got a new SIM from my provider but the problem is still present. I just experienced it now. After being disconnected from mobile data overnight, I tried enabling mobile data and it won't connect. As usual, the trick to solve it was to enable disable flight mode.

So any more possible solutions here?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaidev.s:
should have tried with SIM from a different carrier then only of can say whether it's a carrier problem or not
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
Can't do that because my phone's carrier–locked.

I highly doubt it's the carrier that's the problem because as I've said it is not even "attempting" to connect. What do you think?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaidev.s:
in that case you can do a hard reset of your phone and check. you have to do backup before performing full wipe . you have to key in *2767*3855#. this will do a full wipe , once you key in this there is no turning back.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
Already did that even before making this thread. Although I did the othet method of wiping which is to reset to factory default in settings but these have the same effect.

Anything else? :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaidev.s:
you can try flashing your modem
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
Did you also do that to solve the problem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaidev.s:
yes , flash modem

Hii guys sorry for being such a noob .. but I am very confused here.. I am not able to install a custom Rom in my beloved xperia arc my phone just stuck on sony logo.. I tell u what i did.. first of all i rooted my phone by flashing rootable kernel then rooted my phone with doomlord

Method then I installed CWM..but the problem is no matter which custom ROM I install in my phone with CWM phone just stuck on sony logo :(

Plz tell what i did wrong..

P. S. My phone was on latest ver of ICS
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panda0:
Unlocked bootloader, right?

Well... I started flashing with the FXP CM based roms. I suppose that this is exactly what you did, but since you didn't tell the steps you followed, I'm gonna write down how I did the first time:

With an FXP CM based rom (eg: FXP CM 10) , the steps, basically are:

- Extract the boot.img (own kernel of the FXP roms) of the .zip and put the .zip in the sdcard

- Flash the kernel in fastboot mode:

( fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img

fastboot -i 0xfce flash reboot

unplug the usb and start hiting volume controls to enter in CWM)

- Wipe data and cache

- Install the .zip (rom)

- Reboot and enjoy

Hope it works for you.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivekrules:
Aactually I am not. Able to flash kernel image with fastboot.. I mean with flashtool I am not Able to flash kernel image.. flashtool is showing error that my phone is not rooted.. but it actually is..

And suppose if i want to install ROM( jelly sandwich) can u tell me the procedure from the scratch, I ll really appreciate it.. coz I am trying for 2 days with negative result...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panda0:
I'm noob too, so unfortunately I can't help in the most effective way.

The only apparent difference between our phones (from what I understood from your post) is that I unlocked the bootloader. I read here in XDA that some roms just need this while others not.

"can u tell me the procedure from the scratch, I ll really appreciate it" - You mean unlock the BL?

It's easy, but may void the warranty... Go here: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

(Note: In my case I didn't install the sdk, but I just can't find the tutorial that I followed to unlock the BL... Anyway, the tutorial that I've used was in portuguese... Not much help for you I guess

Note2: In the middle of the process, you'll have to inform your IMEI in the sony website... Use just the first 14 digits).

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpfnzl:
1. unlock the boot loader

2. Download a custom kernel for your current version of android ie: GB/ICS i suggest DoomLord.

3.Put the kernel ( .img ) into the same folder as you have fastboot/adb

4. Power the phone into fastboot: Power down your phone. Press and hold the menu button then plug in your usb cable (the light on the side will be blue)

open a CMD window in the same folder as fastboot/adb and type the commant:

fastboot flash boot NAME OF FILE.img

push enter.

Once the install is complete (a couple of second) you will have root and custom recovery.

Make sure your phone version is rootable

There are guides available in the General section, I suggest you read them if this is your first root.

Good Luck.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] nightingaie:
Hi is there

I have bought a chinese xt910 and has no complaints except for the lack of gapps. Another thread suggested flashing a rom using fastboot files, and the same thread suggested to keep my current rom because it is pretty good. My system version is 67.213.906.XT910.ChinaRetail.en.CN.

I cannot obtain root in any method (I've tried about 5 or 6) and I am not entirely noob at this either. After contacting another member he told me that my phone was rooted in some old unconventional method that prevents any further rooting (some permission problem).

My question is, is there any way to flash gapps without root or installing a different rom?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JustLok:
I've been on ICS & JB roms for quite some time now, but the lack of 4G speeds are really killing me. I see when I revert back to GB, it's like night and day speed wise. I do miss the eye candy most of all, but I prefer the speed over it right now.

I've checked the E4GT Wiki w/the Roms, and even searched Google to no avail, the only links (even from Phantom's own site) are dead for the GB version of Blazer 4.1. I downloaded someone's mod off of Blazer, but I've been running into some problems regarding app installs-- even from a fresh install off of EL26, wiping everything before flashing-- and I wonder if using the original Blazer version would make any difference.

I know some people are still on GB now, and hope that one of them would still have that rom in their system & wouldn't mind uploading it here or elsewhere so I can have a copy as well. I heard great things about it and want to try it out. I'm currently on the GB version of Blu Kuban but I don't like the theme so much (the blue is nice, but the black on black is a bit hard to navigate-- maybe someone would have some advice on that as well?).

TIA!

Background:

I ordered the XGear Spectre Tempered Glass Screen protector back on August 16th (1st Version). Upon receiving it I noticed the infamous dots (which didn’t bother me really), the rainbowing and most annoying of all, the proximity sensor issue. Since then the protector has gone through 2 revisions, I will be talking about the latest one. I dealt with the very first one for about 5 days and finally I got fed up and took it off because I couldn’t end a phone call in the dark without holding it directly in front of a light or pulling the battery.

Pics of first version notice small dots for proximity sensor:

Shortly after returning the XGear product, Spigen released their Glas screen protector which is very similar, they actually cut out the glass and also use clear glass around the “SAMSUNG” logo so it shows through (nice touch) also they include bumpers to raise up your home button (its still recessed but the colors match, Im using the white screen protector on a blue phone). However theirs is plagued by an insensitivity on the screen, as if it doesn’t sit perfectly flush, the only complaint but a HUGE ONE. I use swift key for those curious and I had to slow down my text speed to a hunt and peck method basically. They finally acknowledged the fault in their product and I am in the process of getting a refund.

Spigens version (notice "SAMSUNG" is "cut out" on theirs:

Unboxing:

After unboxing the newest iteration of the XGear Spectre I immediately noticed that the proximity sensor is now a cutout in the glass per se, its actually still covered but its all clear now instead of two small holes, also there are no dots on it what-so-ever.

Installation:

I installed it in a steamed room to calm the dust and after doing this about 3 times ive learned how to apply it near flawlessly.

Results:

I can say that so far I am more then pleased with the protector. There are NO sensitivity issues (Im back to texting full speed), NO proximity sensor issues (Tested in a dark room, called myself from the my home phone, proximity sensor worked flawlessly), there are NO dots (looks like a solid piece of glass) and there is NO rainbowing. I recommend this one over Spigen's.

Another small tidbit, XGear’s protector actually covers more of the screen. It may be difficult to see in the pictures but it almost touches my Spigen case, whereas the Spigen screen protector left a few millimeters all the way around (not a huge deal but something I thought I would mention because I prefer it covering as much of the screen as possible).

Final XGear Spectre:

Thanks again pmoradi2002 for giving me one of the first looks at this newest Spectre.
