Strange. Maybe it's my fingers. I don't know. I never thought they were unresponsive in the first place though, I just had to press a little higher.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
So from what I can find the International T and the Japan TX both have the base-bands to support T Mobile or maybe its radios but they have the 1700/2100 and 1900/2100. So 4G should work if its available. But both devices will run you over $500 or more if you can find one. You also have two very interesting devices coming that Sony thinks is going to change the game. I am very curious to see what happens with the new 5" device.

Is it not possible that Sony could barrow from tech in the PS3 and build a super chip for the phones?? I guess by now thats old tech so would not apply with the current quads we see in the newer devices.

Much better screen brightness on Ion

I received my LT28at Ion last week and had a chance to take it with me to our local AT&T store to see the new Xperia TL. While the TL is nice, I prefer the design, build, look and feel of the Ion considerably more. The most apparent difference, however, was with respect to screen brightness. Simply put, my Ion screen was WAY brighter than the TL. Even with the TL's brightness manually set to 100%, my Ion screen at 50% brightness was still considerably brighter. For these reasons, I will stick with the Ion.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Something must have been wrong with that TL then. I have both devices and when both are set to 100% they look just about the same. Ion has slightly deeper colors but brightness is on par with the TL.

[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Ok so I've lurked here for awhile. This is my first post I believe. Any ways I used to have the original atrix 4G and loved it minus the battery. Had it for a little over a year till I bricked it. Ended using an iPhone for a little while but now I'm back and got the atrix hd. I noticed now though that I can't watch videos embedded in pages in such. And I can't find the flash player in the market... What's going on lol. Any help would be great. Also I've seen some talk of a razr maxx battery swap. Is there any instructions out there? Thank you in advance.
[Motorola Atrix HD] popfan:
To get flash, you need to go to adobe.com then get downloads, then you should be able to get android download, then it takes you to a hidden piece of play store where you can download it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] ML417:
If you are still using the same google account that you had with your Atrix 4g, go to my apps and find it there. Adobe removed it from the play store and only people who purchased it before can download it
[Motorola Atrix HD] mandrsn1:
You can install flash here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.flashplayer&feature=more_from_developer
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Thanks guys and that kinda worked. But the volume is real low and some videos it still just downloads. Any ideas
[Motorola Atrix HD] gabo_e30:
Ive noticed that Some browsers download it ( opera) and others play it (chrome). U should try a different browser maybe that helps.
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Sweet that worked. I guess firefox doesn't like it. Now a new question what's the best task killer? Seems my phone is always running slow and advanced task killer and android booster both won't auto kill.
[Motorola Atrix HD] gabo_e30:
Well, Android 4.0 has an task killer itself. Just hold down the multitasking button (the squares) or home button on older phones and it will show recent apps. Once they appear swipe to either side and that closes the app.
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
But a bunch of apps or open using my ram that I haven't even used since getting the phone.
[Motorola Atrix HD] heifeif:
Got "app cache cleaner"...happy with it!

Auto cleaning and one tap widget...
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Thanks for the tip.
[Motorola Atrix HD] gabo_e30:
One tap cache cleaner works too
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
thats how android works ... if you get a taskiller, it will still open them, and then get killed by your taskkiller, then opened again, killed again and so on

the end result is worse battery...
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Iono it just seems my atrix 4G ran faster.
[HTC One X] Roberto_Sampaio:
Hi !

Had somebody experience a phone dead for a while?

I just tried to wakeup the cel and it didnt wakeup...

I realized it was turned off and tried to turn it on... the battery was full, but it was completely dead...

I tried to go to bootloader and no sucess...

I tried to "kick it" and nothing...

After some seconds it turn on itself... WTF!

Could it be a bad contact ????

Any guess ?

Tx...
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Could be due a freeze.

You use a custom rom?

Sounds like a sleep of death.
[HTC One X] Roberto_Sampaio:
Sounds like a sleep of death?

What is it? I didn't like... Sound very bad...kkk

Yes I'm usinga a custom ROM... Viperx 2.7.0 and faux kernel...

Well, it happened once... Lets wait for another surprise...
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Well that means something crashed very badly or it slept too deep if you want it that way.. Check that you don't use a overclock kernel variant from faux..
[HTC One X] Roberto_Sampaio:
Yes I use faux overclocked kernel... But I never had freezing problems....
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Could be one reason.. Maybe another app is the issue
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] DannyBiker:
So I've been testing CM9 for quite a while now and can't help notice the battery life has been reduced heavily compared to Honeycomb 3.x.

Now, I don't mind that my battery life gets a bit shorter as ICS brings more features and might be more power hungry. But I went from my tab being able to hold a charge in standby mode in 3 weeks to barely 3 days. And if I use it more heavily, it barely holds a day, which is worse than my Motorola Atrix and that's just not normal.

Now, I've been discussing this with pershoot and for him it must coming from something I do. Honestly I don't see what. In the Honeycomb days, I used to have so many apps installed (may 100-150) and battery life was fine. In CM9, I'm running 50 apps, the essential ones. All the apps that could be power hungry have those settings set to off. No push notifications, very large updates intervals (a day) or none when possible. Also, I run most on these apps on my Atrix (which has more apps installed) and my battery life is way better on the Atrix.

In usage itself, I don't see any change, it seems the tab consumes the same amount of battery than before. It's the sleeping battery life that is terrible. In my case, in sleep mode, wifi is off, brightness is set to Auto and data is off (not the signal itself but I tried to take off the SIM and the battery life is the same).

Honestly, not having to care about charging every day is a must feature for a tablet.

I'm running now RS125 ICS, based on stock and the issue is also there. So I wouldn't say it's something related to CM9 but more on how ICS behaves with our tab.

I've read report of other people complaining (with the 10.1 also) so I wonder if it's a general issue. Could you please fill the poll so we can see if there's an issue and if so, how could we identify it ?

Don't hesitate to describe your tab usage and battery life !

Thanks !
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] XaMaB:
For me worsts battery life was with the official 3.0.1. 3.1 was big improvement. 3.2 and 4.x were a little bit better than 3.1.

Got gmail and exchange push notifications turned on, but most of the time the tab is connected to the wi-fi, not to the 3G network

Attached is my personal stand-by record on the 10.1v. I think it was with one of the first pershoot's CM9 roms
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] pinibo:
Hi Danny,

Same for me. Especially the standby mode I see a battery drain.

By the way, somehow my battery usage is not working since I moved to the official ICS ...

I created the SDCard partitions using ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.0, now when I try to take a Nandroid backup,it works through all the partitions, until sd-ext and gives the following error ::rolleyes:

I have a 512 MB Ext .Phone recognizes the sd-ext without any problem. I have mounted and configured it using S2E.

WTH is going wrong ?Any ideas ?

Thanks
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
S2E here, too - how did you partition the card - CWM? (I'd guess usually that shouldn't lead into problems...)

Did you also mount the partition manually in CWM? (I'm pretty sure that I didn't - but that's still an open question / if I have to / should) - what CWM version?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
Yep,obviously,I used CWM 5.0.2.0 for the partition of the card.

I am using CWM 5.0.2.0 for the Nandroid backup and I have also tried via ROM manager to no avail.

SD-Ext is already mounted

Hbu?Have you achieved the Nandroid backup(including ext) without any problem ?What CWM did you use ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
I just don't understand why CWM can't back it up when it was created by itslef.

Does CWM 5.0.2.0 supports ext3/4 ?

I am pretty sure I created ext3 partiton using it and now when I mount my SD card via ADB,it shows the file system as ext2:eek:
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wasimk32:
Have you made nandroid with cwm 5.0.2.0 ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
Yep
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wasimk32:
Then surely it looks some issue with your SD-ext,I would recommend you to repartition using minitool partition wizard,For now you could use app extractor app to restore your apps/data from nandroid.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quack75:
you can try cwm 5.0.2.8 (the latest available) this is the link of the tread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566677

I know that the recovery have some problems creating / formatting partitions ext (eg creates ext4 but reformat in ext3 when you wipe), then I suggest GParted utility on the ubuntu live cd to partition the microsd.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
BTW,I have already backed up my applications using TB and the app data should be in internal memory as it was not moved to ext.

I just want to have the recovery fixed to backup.:eek:

You can't just copy the whole SD card on the PC as it can't read the sdext# directory.:rolleyes:

Most of the people recommend CWM for the partiton of the card and they didn't have any problem with that.Which recovery did you use ?

Doh! I am clueless
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quack75:
tb save the app to a folder on fat32 (microsd) You must backup this partition before reformatting the entire micro sd or use gparted to erase/formatting only the ext partition
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
I try to flash the recovery first.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quack75:

I have already backed up my SD card on PC.

I prefer FASTBOOT;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wasimk32:
I had been using cwm 5.0.2.8 for a long time with no issues while backing up and restoring nandroid including sd-ext.

But due to mirroring bug in temporary 2.5.0.7 with 5.0.2.8,i downgraded to v5.0.2.0.

From then I started to have problems in restoring nandroids made previously with v5.0.2.8.I did everything again(partitioning,backup and restore) with 5.0.2.0,and it all started to work as before again.

So,I jumped to a conclusion that if you create sd-ext with specific cwm version then you should use the same version to backup or restore nandroids.

I know this sounds silly but proved to be good in my case.I might be wrong though. :D
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quack75:
my experience with cwm 5.0.2.8 I restore old backups made with 4.0.1.4 without any problems and found it very useful for advanced restore

Nothing happens after that(waited for 30 mints) and when i try to reboot the device it gets stuck on htc logo for few mints and then boot into recovery.:mad:

Doh!Seriously,I am fed up with this ****.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wasimk32:
best bet is to re partition.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
sorry for the late reply :rolleyes:

I'm using 4.0.1.4 - by accident because of that wrong PC49IMG file in the index thread and I'm really too lazy to update.

Re. your problems: There are a few reports that CWM (all versions) sometimes fails with wiping/formatting (or does it a bit dirty) so I'd guess this very likely could also happen with partitioning (if I'm correct the partitions will be wiped and formatted also, then). I really would just repartition again - and afterwards I'd do a complete wipe/format of the sd-ext - just to make sure...

Keep in mind that a sdcard is not a hard drive...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quack75:
Hello, first calm down, you have just installed a recovery

second probably the trouble (as you have already said) is the card, the formatting you? if you do not want to lose the data on your ext partition with gparted can copy them like a fat partition

even if given the situation I suggest you start from scratch. deep Formatting

partition with ubuntu live cd and flash the rom (I understand that will not boot up right? The ext partition is recognized as the first boot). There is a possibility that the micro sd does not work well anyway good luck I hope I can help you

Hi All,

This is going to sound weird, but I have tried everything and im still stuck. I have gone through the searches but unable to find a solution.

I have an i9300 International (Australian, through Optus), and it's fine except for one issue. When i flash and run a Cyanogenmod build, or basically any NON-Official (Paranoid Android, AOKP and even AOSP) ROM WiFi just REFUSES to connect to any access points. On offical ROM's (from any region) its fine.

I have tried multiple access points, every WiFi encryption, including Open, but it just does not connect. It can see WiFi networks however. I have tried multiple CM builds and others, but once again only Official ROM's work.

Has anyone else experienced this? And found a solution?
