hey guys! i need your help I install this rom specifically bruce2728 zip "cm-10-20120903-bruce2728-pyramid" and said that the front camera work but do not, someone knows that I do?
[General Questions and Answers] Steffenstr:
The build you are trying to install is old and does not have the front camera-fix. Try the new 20121013 build. It has the FFC working. You can flash over the one you have now, but it is recommended that you do a full wipe because your build is 4.1.1. and the latest is 4.1.2.

Good luck!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talbe:
Hi,

I have a problem that started about a week ago and I wasnt able to find any solution. I bought the Galaxy S I 9000 two mounth ago and it worked fine. After a week I decided to root the device and put on it ROM Cynagone mod 7. It worked fine for a while. Now, I am not sure if this is related but a week ago I was in a hotel and didnt have any router so I put the samsung as hot spot and surf a little on my laptop. Then I canceled the hot spot. From then, ever since I am going to surf on the 3G or WiFi on he mobile it will surf for 2-3 minutes and then force close the mobile with no warning.Then when I try to open the mobile I cannot since it has no battary and only when I plug it in to the recharger it will open usually with no battar, but the interesting part is that sometimes it will open with about 70% battary. I made sure that this is not a case of a low battary since even after I had 100% battary it still happans after a few moments when using any application that use the web like facebook or drawsomthing. I tried factory reset and changing the rom to Cynagone mod 10 but had the same issue. The only thing I didnt try is changing the battary since I have no access to different battary but if I will know that it will defanntly fix my mobile I will do so...I cannot take it to garanty since I rooted the device....

Can any one please..help me ??? I realy dont want to give up on this mobile after two month...

Thanks

you can always re flash the stock firmware to use the warranty .

But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.

Than enter recovery to wipe cache, data and dalvik cache too, check if its ok

you can get a rescue kit or a stock firmware from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions

Thank you for your answer. I did what you suggested with no help. I found that this issue is called sleep of death and it happans to a lot of people. No one seems to find anysolution for that.

Do you have any other ideas about how to fix this issue ?

Thanks.

I guess this issue appears only after I am surfing for a while or using application that use the WiFi or 3g.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umbyfish:
hi guys, i have a question for you.

I have to create an app that allows other devices to connect to my android terminal via wifi, without access point, so my device should become an access point to host their connections. i don't have to share the internet connection with them, just have to make them connect directly to me, then they send a UDP packet, and I have to read it, so on my device will have to be an UDP server after the connection creation.

so, any suggestion on how to manage wifi? any step to follow? my android version is 4.0.3

thanks a lot!

Sony xperia U rooting/flashing/upgrading/ROMS

Im now updated/rooted with ICS..

so what are the additional features and apps that can i enjoy on ICS..?

im also happy to know answers for some of my questions..

1) can we again switch back to ginger bread and how..?

2) is upgrading and rooting are same other than official/unofficial thing point..?

3) what is rom and were do i get roms..?

4) what are apps can i enjoy now i mean aft upgrading to ICS..?

5) what are ftf files and their uses..?

i want to learn abt android can u suggest any sites that teaches me from basics..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xtrmshadow:
To answer your questions :

ICS : Is a newer version of android which has alot of benefits over the last one (GB)...like better RAM Managing,faster OS/UI,better browsing,looks alot better,battery lasts more etc.

1)Yes you can switch back to gingerbread ,easy : Just download the GB .ftf file with flashtool.

2)Upgrading is official,rooting isnt : Sony's warranty remains after rooting,just dont unlock your bootloader (Basically.its like a BIOS in a PC)

3)ROM : It means 2 things, 1) Read Only Memory (Not our Case) and 2)OS System (Our Case) : Basically its like Windows for PC,a ROM is a Operative System you can install on your handheld device....why is it called "ROM" ? Because older phones had their OS in a Read ONLY Memory which was very hard to flash/overwrite.Where do you get them ? : All around the web,but the best ones are here in XDA ,under "Xperia U Android Development".

4)Yes,on ICS you can basically enjoy ALL of GB's files + a few more ,like Nova Launcher etc.

5)FTF files are flashable files(Normally ROM's) which you can flash(install) with programs like "Flashtool" ,the advantage of FTF files is that its clean flashing without losing warranty(Unlocking bootloader + CWM),the disadvantage is that mostly FTF files are ONLY original and Genuine ROM's,not Modded ones.

Hope that answers your questions ,if you got any other ones,feel free to ask.

Thanq very much xtrmshadow...really dat was very helpfull to put a step ahead in android...

can u answer some more questions..

1) How to root sony xperia U without voiding warranty...if so tell me the simple and undstable procedure

2) what are the advantages and disadvantages of rooting ..?

3) Does all root their phone..?

4) why rooting is not made official if it deserves much importance..?

thank u very much bro....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xtrmshadow:
You're welcome.

1)To root your phone go to this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460.

And download the latest one v15 ,then just follow the instructions.

2)The advantages are that you will then have Administrator rights over your phone : You can now edit and modify absolutely everything,starting from deleting applications that came with the phone (For exemple : "Video Unlimited" or "Timescape" etc) to gain performance and free memory, and to do more advanced configurations,like Processor modification ,graphical driver changing (Chainfire 3D),build.prop tweaks... but these last few ones i dont advise if you're not an advanced user as you can brick your phone.

Brick = Make your device useless by doing problematic modifications....but if you did not unlock your bootloader,any "Bricks" can be fixed with PC Companion "Repair tool".

3)Not everyone roots their phone. Only people who arent happy with something about the phone (Software) and wants to tweak/modify or change. If you're happy with the phone how it is,i dont advise you root it.

4)Its not official because 60% of android users dont even know how to properly use the phone how it comes from the manufacturer....if you grant them root from the start....they would make a mess of the phone and there would be alot more "RMA" than there are.

The easy answer is : Because most people pretty much shouldnt have root as Android is a very nice ....but in the same time very sensible OS.

One small character error (Put M instead of N) in for exemple,the build.prop file...and the phone becomes useless until you "Repair" it with PC Companion ,or even worse,if its bootloader is unlocked ,totally bricked.

EDIT : Im not sure that you distinguish the diferences between "Rooting" and "Flashing/Upgrading". So in case you didnt get it :

Flash/Upgrade : Is upgrading or flashing another ROM or Android Version.

Rooting : Gaining Administrator rights on your Phone.

If ya need anything more mate,feel free to ask.

I'm going mad here.

I've been trying to root with Bin4rys method for ages. Can't do the flashtool method either. I have Xperia U on ICS flashed with flashtool but it doesn't think my phone is in debugging mode which it is so I can root it.I've tried everything I can think of.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xtrmshadow:
Try Bin4ry's method following these steps :

1)Download v15 .zip

2)Extract it wherever you want.

3)Go to the folder you've extracted.

4)Plug in your phone WITHOUT debugging mode

5)Activate debugging now

6)Right click on "RunMe.bat" and select "Run as administrator"

7)Press 1 on the MSDos Menu ("Normal)

8)Wait...the phone will show up a menu with "Restore" ,,press on the "Restore" button on the bottom of the screen.

9)Now leave the phone on your table and let it finish (Dont unplug the phone yet). It will reboot 2 times.

10)After the 2 reboots,press "Enter" or any key on the Bin4ry MSDOS prompt on your computer.

11)Unplug your phone and you're Done.

Those steps work perfectly,just dont miss any of em.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ollieh84:
Nope. Not working for me. I have followed your instructions and other people's to the letter.

I pressed 1, then enter, then it just says,

demon not running, starting now on port 5037

demon started successfully

then it stays there forever. Nothing happens with the phone or the green script.

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------

I think it's something to do with me flashing ICS with flashtool. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the stock ICS rom. I managed to get root when it was running GB.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neectron:
Try latest flashtool,it has Bin4ry's method integrated into it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] vinaysweetheart007:
Thanks xtrmshadow...i got almost all answers from u..but u dint answered to question no 2 i.e cani i root my xperia u without voiding warranty..?

thanks for everything..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xtrmshadow:
Its a very questionable question .

No,rooting should not void your warranty.

I repeat ..."Should" , Sony said that only if you Unlock the bootloader,then you void your warranty,but they did not say anything about root....not that yes and nor that no.

Most people who bricked their rooted device had it repaired without any problem by the warranty.

So i cant say a 100% sure answer but ill say :

Its 85% safe to root and not void your warranty.

It depends on you really,but as i said,mostly its ok.

Respect
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ollieh84:
I have been using the latest flashtool. v0.9.8.0

Flashtool says phone isn't connected in debugging mode, which it is.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xtrmshadow:
Thats why you should use Bin4ry's method,and follow my instructions from this Thread on Page 1.

PS : If flashtool says phone isnt connected,you're probably missing some drivers. Go to the flashtool folder -> drivers folder -> execute the installer.

And select ALL the drivers,then install them and then try again.

Respect
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ollieh84:
Way ahead of you. I checked all the drivers on flashtool and installed them all to be sure. I have tried Bin4rys method about 20 times now and it doesn't work.

[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
As most of the config are same is there any possibility we can port one x + battery in to our one x by changing the case or by using the same case. That's the only one I need from one x +
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

It depends. If the battery isn't the same size then no it isn't going to be possible as physically it will not fit.

Even if the same size, the charging circuit may not fully charge the battery so the extra capacity isn't realised easily in the current model.

Regards

Phil
[HTC One X] BenPope:
That's not how battery charging works. It would charge fine.
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

Not if the maximum voltage for a full charge is different. Typically lithium ion charges to 4.1 to 4.2 volt depending on the battery and design, the lower full charge voltage will favour longevity over capacity, the higher voltage utilises the full capacity of the cell but stresses the cell more lowering it's life time.

If the HTC One X+ battery is designed to be pushed to a slightly higher voltage to achieve the higher capacity fully, and/or being allowed to drop to a lower voltage during it's duty to get the extra, then the charging circuitry in the HTC One X will not realise the full extra capacity, it will charge fine, but the extra capacity will not be seen.

If the max/min duty voltages are the same, then it will charge just fine to full capacity, assuming the data connections are identical between the cell and the phone that is. However in this case it is more likely the extra capacity is then achieved by a bigger battery, so it will not fit. The FCC information already shows a different placement arrangement for the antennas so the internals are arranged differently and what we are probably looking at is a slightly bigger battery.

Another issue if it fits and works is the charging will take longer. For safety the charging circuit in the phone has a safety timer calibrated to work with the original battery, if the charging takes longer than expected (as it would with the higher capacity battery) the charging is halted to avoid the potential for an explosion, so unless this timer is also changed, or is set automatically by data supplied from the inbuilt battery protection circuit, it might prove problematic charging the higher capacity battery, especially from flat to full, as the safety timer will terminate the charge before the battery is fully charged.

Regards

Phil
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I strongly suspect that the charge voltage is the same and any timer is unlikely to kick in as it will have plenty of headroom.

The difference is most likely due to physical size or perhaps an improved charge density.
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
We can order one x+ battery and case if it charges well and works good right . Are you sure it won't works ?
[HTC One X] Jamekerr:
I have doubts that htc will make the battery interchangeable as they would suspect that one x owners would attempt a battery swap.
[HTC One X] kreindler:
Anyhow the battery will not be, at least theoretically, interchangeable, as you aren't supposed to open the housing.

So that wouldn't be a worry.

Phil, what you say regarding a timer is total nonsense.... If u keep your phone plugged in and play a game in the meantime, charging can take also the whole day, because you're using the battery in the meantime.. BUT it is charging!! Charging does not interrupt after a specified amount of time..

What the phone, and also any other phone has, is a circuit which is stopping the charge when battery is full. How does it know the battery is full? This circuit is not in the phone but in the battery:)

Regarding the charging voltages and so - again nonsense... The voltage of a battery is fixed. It does not vary at all or if it does it is a measuring error. Nor does the charging voltage. This is again fixed.

(of course nothing is perfect, they can vary, but with 1% or even less, must be a tolerable error.)

When charging a battery what may vary and it depends on the charger is the electrical current's intensity (measured in amperes).

Putting a battery with a higher capacity in the phone will have the following results:

1. Longer battery life

2. Slower charge

But if the battery has the same voltage (and i think it does) it will work, and it will charge fully!!

Most probably htc is using the same voltage on all their phones...

If this is true, the only thing that could stop us from changing the battery will be the form factor of it....
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Charging lithium ion batteries is two phase; firstly, constant current, where the voltage is variable, and then constant voltage, where the current is variable.
[HTC One X] kreindler:
Thx mate:D well still... From experience with other phones where i changed my battery- i don't think the charging process will be an issue... Usually a manufacturer uses the same process of charging with all phones or at least similar models.... I swapped li-ion batteries with li-pol and had no issue at all:)

So if form factor will be the same, in my opinion it will work!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myevilside4u:
Pre-requisites:

1. Rooted Device:

You need root access to android device for this process. Besides here, there are several advantages of rooting and the application used in this process requires root access. If you are interested in backups, ROMsand kernels, chances are, you are already rooted. (Seriously, you are missing the best things about Android if you haven’t rooted your phone.)

Anyways, if you are not rooted, take a look at the list of various rooting tools for Android that we have compiled earlier.

If your phone is rooted, proceed to the next step. If it isn’t – go get yourself a root!

2. Custom Recovery

You cannot do a backup of the OS while its running. The Nandroid backup process is carried out through recovery. The boot loader within the recovery enables you to take a backup of the OS while it’s not running.

ClockworkMod recovery is the most popular recovery. Install ClockworkMod recovery using Android ROM Manager and your preliminary setup is complete. You may install alternate recoveries as well, but you need premium version of ROM Manager for the app to work with any recovery other than ClockworkMod.

Steps to Perform a Nandroid Backup via Recovery and ROM Manager:

Backup and Restore via Recovery:

1. Boot into Recovery.

One way to boot into recovery is to run the ROM Manager app and choose the option to ‘Reboot into Recovery’. Else you can use CM7’s handy button combination chart for manual boot into recovery.

Personally, I prefer to use Quick Boot app for the purpose. It gives you one touch option to Reboot, boot into Recovery or Bootloader and simply Power Off.

2. Select ‘Backup and Restore’ from the recovery screen.

Once you are in recovery, scroll down to the option ‘Backup and Recovery’ and select it. You can scroll up/down through the menu using the volume buttons and select options using the power button.

3. Start the backup.

Once you are on the Nandroid screen, select ‘Backup’ to start the backup process. You have the option to restore backup on the same screen.

Be patient. The backup process may take a while.

4. Transfer the backup to your computer.

Once you reboot, you can see the backup in the ‘clockworkmod/backup/timestamp’ directory on your SD card. The contents of the backed up folder as seen in the below image.

Save this folder on your PC safely.

So, I'm pretty sure I bricked my phone. Any help turning this around would help greatly. Here's how I got here. Plan was to Flash CyanogenMod 10. I rooted with no problems. Installed clockwork Mod on my phone. Created a backup of the stock Rom through ClockWork. Then backed up data to my removable SD card. I moved the CM-10 zip to the phone. Launched into recovery. Ran zip and it completed. On first boot got stuck on the CyanogenMod splash screen. After toying around with it (I believe clearing data in recovery). I finally got it to boot and went to install the Google apps zip the same way. That's when the real trouble started, now I can only get it to show the Samsung boot screen and then a blank screen.

I have attempted several How-to unbrick threads. However, the same thing happens to each one. I'll get them to work through Odin, but the phone will restart and go back to the same screen.

Thank you in advance for any help!
