[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jcol5786:
In the quest for better battery life I have followed the helpful thread here and made a couple of discoveries. First my phone never goes into deep sleep. The lowest it goes is 384 MHZ. Using BBS it see that I have a constant msm_otg kernel wakelock. I have searched but cannot find much info about the cause of this wakelock except a mention that it has something to do with USB connectivity. I am running the stock rom version 4.0.4 on the Rogers network. I also cannot connect my phone to my computer any longer using a USB cable. I have tried different computers and different cables. I have reload Kies drivers and clicked USB debugging off and on. When I plug the USB cable into the phone I get the beep sound but no indication from the computer or the phone that a USB device has been connected. Keis does not see the phone either. This used to work however I do not connect to USB very often but I'm starting to think my wakelock and loss of USB connectivity may be related. I'm thinking I might have a hardware issue with the USB connector. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a rooted Galaxy Ace Plus S7500 with custom recovery, will I be able to update to jelly bean (android 4.1) once it is out? The official one by my carrier I mean.

I realize this should be in the Development section, but I don't have enough posts to be able to create there.

Using: Galaxy Nexus (GSM) Maguro

CyanogenMod 10 9/24 Nightly, default kernel, nothing changed.

I am try to get the LED notifications to work, but only certain applications will trigger the light to blink. Default shows up for applications I haven't added (white). Sometimes GMail will trigger. I haven't gotten calender events to work or Messanger.

Rebooted. Re-flashed. Still not working.

Is anyone else having this issue?

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuaziRandom:
Alright, I'm new around here. I searched around a lot on the forums, but didn't find a similar problem.

Phone model: Motorola Defy XT (XT535)

Carrier: It's GSM. So, it doesn't matter, does it?

I found many threads talking about the rooting process of Defy XT, and some of them did help me conduct it without problems. I did meddle around for some time after rooting; Eventually I thought I will change the stock ROM (GB - 2.3.7).

The problem is that, I couldn't find a tested (official/unofficial) ClockworkMod recovery for use with Defy XT. I could do with installing some Chinese release of ICS for Defy XT (SBF), but, I wanted to try CM10; it appeared more fascinating. So, anyway, I thought I could use Koushik's custom recovery build script on his website (builder.clockworkmod.com). So, I did the process of obtaining the stock "recovery.img", plugging it in that script, and obtained a new custom-built CWM. The real problem which I am not able to come out of is now - After flashing it, on the next reboot, it is going into the "MBM-flash mode", and it throws out an "error 0301", and doesn't go further than that. In this mode, I gathered that it will be able to communicate to a computer (RSD lite) over USB, and so, I installed it and was able to detect the device, but I'm not able to find out, what to do next to get it back to normal working condition.

Since that error screen I see now is basically a flashing tool, I was thinking, reflashing the recovery partition with the stock "recovery.img" (have a back up) should solve the problem. But, I'm not able to find out how to do it...

If there is anyone else who has faced a similar problem and found a solution, it would be really good of you to share it. Or, if there is anyone who knows how to work with RSD lite, could you suggest a method to flash the "recovery" section only through this software? (I'm guessing an XML file should be enough, but I don't know how to write it; format).

Hopefully I'll get speedy replies :) .

Samsung has been aware of it for a few months, and the latest firmware fixed it. So any ROM at least based off of that wouldn't have the vulnerability either.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Th3R1pp3r:
Hey fellow Xperia S owners / Sony Android phone owners.

Last Friday night I lost my beloved Xperia S, and I'm still suffering.. I know the Sony Xperia S is not perfect by any means but I loved mine. I loved the looks with the transparent antenna strip, I loved the HDMI connection separate from the USB connection (Charging while Viewing Netflix for ex.) and even though I had a small show of yellow tint issue, it was not something that bothered me at all. I also loved the fact that is not a common phone (I'm yet to find someone else in person with one). Last but not least I had also familiarized with the phone, it's firmwares, ICS running fine finally, and this xda-developers Xperia S Forum of course.

So right now I'm stuck with the Phone I was given for free from my Carrier, an LG Optimus L5 (crappy phone), even though it has ICS, it's so inferior that it only makes me miss my Xperia S even more :(

Ok so I need to get me a new phone, and I can say I rather have another Sony phone, so I see that there are already a few models that are coming out soon: Xperia T (Flagship, Skinny Design) and Xperia V(Love the Water-resistant aspect, but Lacks on Front Camera Resolution) , but Like I've said before I really loved the Transparent Antenna Strip, and loved having the Illumination Bar App which would Blink Fast for a Missed Call, or Slow for a new SMS; So I'm also aware of the existence of the Sony Xperia SL (Overclocked CPU to 1.7Ghz compared to the 1.5Ghz on the Xperia S but still an S3 vs The S4 on the newer models T and V), but I can't find any reviews or benchmarks of the Xperia SL making it even harder for me to decide.

So that is the situation, I would like to know what other fellow XDA members would do in my case and/or what are the recommendations.

Sony Xperia T

Sony Xperia V

Sony Xperia SL

Sony Xperia S

Other ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
How do you lost it? I can't see someone losing a phone lol. But that doesn't matter. I'd pick up the Xperia T

"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AwesomeTurtle:
He probably misplaced it and cannot for the life of him recall where he might have left it. I've done that with an MP3 player or two.

I'd get another S. If the V becomes available by the time you make your decision (and it's reasonably priced), consider the V.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Th3R1pp3r:
I don't even want think about it but I got really f*cked up in party @ a club on Friday and I sat on a couch and had the phone on my lap and I guess I just dropped it on the floor when I leaned to the side to throw up :banghead: .. so there you go, that's what happened :thumbdown:

I would like to know if the CPU running at 1.7GHz on the Xperia SL helps on making the ICS OS smoother without hiccups and makes the phone more responsive, and also if the speed bump drains the battery a lot faster than the Xperia S. But I can't find any info on it :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
On, I see. That's bad... I really don't know... I guess the performance will be slightly better, but dunno about battery

Motorola Razr HD: good and solid design, big battery, skin close to stock Android.

Nokia Lumia 920: beautiful unique design, good camera, cool new technologies (IMO most are gimmick but you may think differently), good screen.

iPhone5: beautiful beautiful beautiful and classy design (I really cant get enough of how pretty it is), good screen, good camera.

Honestly if I had the money I'd buy all of them :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mharckk:
you know what i would go for the xperia T. having SL is like and S with overclocked cpu, nevermind the transparent strip, go fot the T its an S4 krait :).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] viiv:
Xperia SL in silver...prettiest one among the bunch
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gnashville:
Xperia T

I would go for the Xperia T or TX if you have to upgrade soon. The device looks very solid, and Sony has learned from the S.

If the V is available to you and the price is right, that's my second pick.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stevebdroid:
If I lost my Xperia, I would get a galaxy s (the original one) root and flash jb, change the battery, my wife has that now, easy 2 days with daily use (she uses it for work). Would be a good backup for when ur looking for another phone :) cheap as well, if u lose phones a lot :) has a nice screen and light :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] revan17:
In the future, unless you're loaded and can afford to buy a new phone every few months, install something like Cerberus anti-theft on it. You have a high chance of finding it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] x3Evo:
I suggest Xperia SL... But if you want a waterproofed version of the Xperia S + extended memory... Get Xperia Acro S.... I tried 64GB micro SD on my Acro S and it still works like a charm... With root. Haha 32gb external memory cap under sony acro s is FULSE!

I would probably buy a P if I lost mine
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] realfelix:
get the T, end of the story really.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
Depends on your demand of usage. Though i'll get the new Xperia T. Bond is the game :cool: lol nah seriously! it beats S3 n HTC on some serious level plus i have my faith on the new gen snapdragon chipsets & surely the battery can always be tweaked! my Xperia S runs for about 16-17hrs with normal usage so Mr.T can run longer or even perform better and definitely faster! Else, i will wait for the announced S4 PRO LG optimus G (Quads+2150mAh battery) but then again, i never actually liked the way LG looks. Xperia is the beauty with brain :cool:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] romiltherock:
I would suggest HTC One X. HTC have a great UI and overall a good package. If you are a Sony loyalist, I woudl suggest Xperia T/Tx, Xperia V no doubt is the best but you know they are going to price it around Apple. Sony should stop thinking that they enjoy Apple's brand value. thjats was a decade ago. The only reason why Xperia V is a flop is the hefty price tag.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] keewanchoapsss:
The Xperia T and TX are the flagships. The V is classed as the mid-range device, however it does use all of the major components the T/TX use, even the CPU is better a little. But it does lack LTE like the TX. So, some differences. T/TX has a bigger screen too which always indicates a flagship.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Galaxen:
Go for Xperia V... and this is why http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/08/30/is-the-sony-xperia-v-the-real-new-flagship/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Xperia V isnt coming till december. Go for Xperia T.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Th3R1pp3r:
Thanks guys for all the feedback and suggestions!

This is exactly what I want, to see what others would do.

Ok so right now I think that even though the Xperia V has my attention, the problem is that first the phone will be hard to find online at least till the end of the year and I don't know if I could wait 2+ months to get myself a new phone, also that having just a VGA Front camera is a downgrade from my lost Xperia S and I used to do Video Calls with Skype every now and then of course receiving praise for the video quality; also the missing Camera Button is a bummer, and lastly the price is supposed to be over US$650 which is not attractive at all.

As hard it might seem but I'm not that excited about the Xperia T. Maybe the Xperia TX would appeal to me more with the it's thinner aspect and also what I heard about the Xperia logo lighting up, etc.

But something negative to me from the new Xperia phones(T,TX,V) is that they no longer feature a separate HDMI connection which wouldn't let me charge my phone with my Portable Charger (ANKER Battery Pack) and watch Netflix, etc on a TV simultaneously for example .

So there comes the Xperia SL, I really loved the looks of my lost Xperia S with its Transparent Strip, the screen of course, and the fact that it's now part of the Android Open Development program just like the Nexus will help prolong its lifetime. I know it's missing the S4 Krait CPU but I believe that the extra 200 MHz should make the experience smoother compared to the Xperia S, and my original plan was to ride the Xperia S till at least next summer.and skip this new Xperia line all together and wait for the next generation's offering.

I understand that you can't really be constantly worrying about having the fastest and #1 cellphone out there because that will only last a few weeks and then something better, faster, with cooler features will be out; I also don't believe that the Benchmarks should determine how good or bad a phone is (and this is coming from an Old-school Computer Geek, Overclocking Addict and 3D Gamer).

So wrapping things up, I think I could hold off a couple of weeks until I make my final decision, I would like to see the Xperia TX available online and it's price, and also hope to find a review or some sort of user comments on their experience with the Xperia SL just to make sure that there's no Yellow Tint issue and that the faster processor doesn't drain the battery like crazy. And if every thing about it seems fine I think it will be my main option or the Xperia TX just so I don't have to spend a month+ relying on this scrappy LG Optimus L5 phone.

Do I sound crazy to you guys? :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] x3Evo:
Haha good choice... Though I still pick Acro S instead...

If you want to xperience the full xperia s which is LT26 series.... I'll still consider LT26w.

If I were you.... My option would be:

1. Xperia S (sounds crazy but i'd get a second one)

2. Acro S (LT26w)

3. Xperia SL (LT26ii)

4. Xperia T / TX

5. Xperia V

Xperia V, also to whoever said HTC one x, have you tried it yourself?

Xperia by far have the the best display in the market with the amazing 343 ppi @ 4.3 inch, no way an Xperia user will be able to put up after that with the garbage One X display, seriously, garbage display to say the least.

The Xperia V is going to be king, and worth the wait.

Also LG nexus sounds sexy with the s4 pro monster cpu.No clue what display it will have but for me the display is the most important factor.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbodysmallbrain:
i was wondering because i would like to get rid of touch wiz and sprint id and the easiest way seems to be installing custom firmware. i ran it by a friend who said sprint might boot me from the network if they try a OTA update and it shows i don't have stock :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisbass:
Not going to happen. The only "bad" thing about OTAs are that you can except them but they'll fail because of custom recovery. There are no other adverse effects with sprint or otherwise. Also, when they send out OTAs they can't tell if you have a custom firmware or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbodysmallbrain:
thanks this is great news
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhySoSerious_058:
they can refuse to fix your phone if it fails and had custom software, but that's all, i have tried triangle away using blazer rom but it fails so i am running the risk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spoonydx:
Can they?

Probably. Their contracts are written in such a way as to protect the company, and they can probably find a reason to boot you without you installing CM10.

But WILL they?

Definitely not. As WhySoSerious_058 stated above, they won't service your phone, as rooting / roming voids your warranty, but it's been my experience thus far that you can just restore to unrooted stock if you ever have to take it in for service.

They want your continued patronage. I have been a Sprint customer for 11 years, and ran CyanogenMod on my o.g. Evo 4G, and now am running it on my GSIII. Totally worth it, in my opinion, but your mileage may vary. CM10 is far from finished at this point, and the nightlys might fix some problems while simultaneously creating others. You lose the features of TouchWiz, but gain all the functionality of AOSP. Wonderful trade-off for me, but it might not be for everyone. I highly recommend it, provided you know what you're getting into - but be prepared to be become addicted to it :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Not true. There is a widely-circulated internal Sprint memo that officially tells employees to treat rooted, non-stock phones just like a stock, unrooted phone. Check Google. If you have a hardware problem that is 100% non-related to rooting/installing custom ROMs, like light bleed or a bad radio, Sprint employees are advised to ignore the software and treat all phones equally.

Now, not all Sprint stores follow the policy. Some employees are either unaware of the memo or just don't care about it, and they might hassle you. But they will never deny you your cell service because of your ROM, and they're not supposed to deny repair service because of your ROM, either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbodysmallbrain:
well i have a tablet running a build i made myself of cm10 and love it. also i don't like touchwiz and other bloatware preinstalled from sprint so i don't mind losing touchwiz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spoonydx:
Oh really? I hadn't heard about that! That's fanstasic :D Go Sprint!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] youngnex:
I agree with Endless. Ive never been dumb enough to go into any carrier store with a modded rom asking for Warranty or something. Ive only brought it when ive bricked it, but they can turn it on to confirm. ;)

So, moral of the story.... if you can't turn it on, dont worry about it. But, if you are running CM10 you dont need support from Sprint, unless its phone reception or something along those lines. You have us for support....oh and google ;)
