[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] reddevilx:
I think I've found the solution to the excessive battery consumption.

I own an xperia x8 and a mini. And both suffers of that issue. But the problem was not linear, sometimes formatting was better, sometimes not, sometimes some roms seemed to work better but only for some time and so on. So I wondered if it can depend on sd card, I've tried an older smaller and empty one and bingo, the battery life improved. So I've done several test, and I discovered that the issue depends on the card fragmentation.

Yes, on both phones just defragmenting the card brings the consumption from 10 to 1% /hour.

I hope that this can help someone else and sorry for my bad English.

U mean we need to defrag our sd card?

My friend just gave my brother her Optimus V and according to her a few days ago it stopped getting WiFi access. She had it activated, but won Iphones. He says it was just working on our friends secure network. At our house it connects to WiFi, but has no internet access. I did a reset. Didn't change. Got a new ROM, changed the SD card, wiped data, cache, dalvick, installed new ROM and gaps. Still no internet access. Its an open WiFi which my computer and phone are working fine on

So, do you have access to the router for the problematic wifi network?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkangels6sic6:
Nope. I don't know who's it is but its our main internet connection. And if I had not been miss informed that it did work on others except this one I might not have bothered anyone with it. But if anyone else can figure it out it would still be help full. Every other device can connect to it and this one used to. And it can connect to any other network

Wait, so it does or it does not work on other wifi networks?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkangels6sic6:
The optimus works on every other network except this one. It used to though. And any other device can connect to the network
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post-mortem:
Ok, so if you've deleted cache and all that, and you deleted & re-added the network, and even reflashed a ROM and it still doesn't work, I'd say the next step is the router, which you (apparently) don't have access to. I would like to reset the router, and even check its settings, ideally.

Have you tried a different ROM, or flashing back to stock?

[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
If I format my sd card will Iose all of my saved programs on titanium back up? Thanks!!!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Yes, you will!

First copy all the sd card info onto your PC.

Format to FAT 32.

Put back your music,photos,saves,and backups(titanium,clockworkmod,etc.)

Then,put the card in the phone,and Android will put on the files it needs.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
Could someone please explain how to do this process. Thanks!!!
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you have a card reader just put the sdcard onto it

connect it via usb in the pc and do format from there

it is better

don't forget to copy all your files,data etc in your pc first
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I assume you mean how to copy all the files....

I think you are using 4EXT recovery from other posts (correct me if I'm wrong).

Boot into recovery (because the USB transfer speeds are faster than CM10 that I think you are using)

connect your phone to your computer via USB

mount USB storage, create a new folder on your computer desk top

select all files and folders from the SD card and drag and drop them into the new folder on your desk top that you just created

wait about 10-15 minutes for it to complete

format SD card from the computer

Copy all your files back to the SD card the same way

wait another 10-15 minutes

boot the phone and your apps should find all their related data right where they left it
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
So basically if I was to format my sd card without backing up or saving anything I would just lose all my downloads that are on my sd card and my sd card will be completely clean.Is this all correct.and I will lose everything that I have backed up on titanium back up as well? Thanks in advance!!!
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Yes sadly you will loose everything! I just went through this process myself with a new 64 sd card.I wish you the best. I simply formatted in recovery but I had to pull battery to get to recovery otherwise it said sd card needed to get to recovery.until I formatted it wouldn't recognize my sd card. Once I formatted it was recognized .

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] slnk:
hello all,

I want to make my own custom rom based on the stock 2.3.6.

I've read some tutorials about that but I don't get any informations on how to get a base to work with (a flashable zip with all the rom's files?).

So do I have to flash a original rom to my gio and then backup all the files with some software or something else?

I can try to compile it if it's really necessary but I would be glad if I can avoid it.

I don't want to start with a existing all customised rom like enhanced236, I would like to start from a fresh and clean rom and then share it with the gio communty.

Thanks a lot for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] slnk:
I found something about dsixda.

I'm on the right track?

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
on the right track, but just a note: dsixdsa kitchen is made for HTC, and its a tool, you wont really learn much from it, and it may not be fully compitable
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] MysteryEmotionz:
If you don't want to build from source your gonna have to know how to edit apks n Smali. Your gonna need apktool, smali, & baksmali.

If you want base it off the stock rom just flash the stock rom n make a backup in recovery. You'll need the system folder from that backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] slnk:
Can some one explain me clearely how to get a flashable stock rom zip or give me a link to some good tutorial working for the Gio?

sorry but I can't find something clear about all that.

I've spent a day trying to figure out how to do that but I was not able to make a single working zip :(

dsixda clearly doesn't work for the gio or I'm missing something.

I only need someone to put me on good track to start. I'm only loosing time trying and testing a lot of not so complete tutorial.

thanks a lot
[HTC One X] royoshukrun:
So, I'm a giant fan of Lord's Ice Cold Jelly, but lately I wanted to try out Sense Jellybean for the hell of it. So I go and put hboot 1.28 on my phone and try a few sense roms. Well, I want to get back to Ice Cold Jelly now, but I find that when I flash my kernel and rom my One X gets stuck on the HTC white screen. That's fairly disconcerting for me. Am I unable to flash AOSP roms now because my phone is on hboot 1.28? If that's so, how the hell do I get rid of the new hboot because that sucks. If there are any other alternatives, ideas, anything that could help please let me know, I'd really appreciate it!!

Thanks!
[HTC One X] BenPope:
There are only a limited number of kernels that work with aosp based ROMs and hboot 1.28.

You can't get rid of hboot 1.28 without S-Off, which can't be done.

Keep in mind that GPS doesn't work in AOSP or CM10 roms with the new hboot
[HTC One X] Byrkoet:
Is it possible to revert to HBOOT 1.23 if you're on 1.28?

Pretty odd question if it is common to someone, though I have been reading that it isn't, so I wanted a clear answer. :)
[HTC One X] BenPope:
You read correctly, it isn't.

Could you perhaps explain why, good sir?

I would like to know if it is possible to play/pause/skip song by using the handsfree button when using Aurora ROM. This worked fine with cyanogen mod 7.2 and it is AMAZINGLY useful, but it doesnt work with Aurora. I remember seeing this posted somewhere in the forum and i think it is possible.

[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Not sure if our bootloader can handle it. You can only boot from sdcard if it fails to load U-boot or X-loader from internal flash memory (according to OMAP, Lg might've changed this).

You need a different X-loader or U-boot if you wan't to force it to boot from sd.

Not 100% sure about all this. If you get anywhere please don't keep it to yourself. :)

Linux's minimum requirements aren't met by our phone so it might lag seriously if you do get it working

thanks! :D
[HTC Desire X] MaartenXDA:
Nope, not at all.
[HTC Desire X] phuxus:
After 4 Weeks the Problems started...

...first of all, iam coming from the HTC Desire handset. A solid, powerfull, less memory brave smartphone at least for 2 years.

Switched to Desire X because of the lack of memory on my Desire, although root and sd-ext.

I was very impressed of this low budget device, it did a precious impression onto me, but now i know why HTC is losing marketshare and the earnings decreases.

The device itself, even without the backside attached creaks on the upper left and right corner - ok i would life with that, but there are constant reboots and state an error report, while my device is on standby and stored in my pocket - maybe there is too much pressure applied while i tie up my shoes, but my old desire took it without any problems.

The main problem is the screen, i got an array of faulty pixels - so iam heading to my retailer to get this device repaired and then sold.

Nexus 4 iam coming, although i loved the handy size....

Attached pictures of the upper left corner taken with a One S through a magnifying glass...
[HTC Desire X] MoshPuiu:
no problem

I also have a Desire S, now my wife is using it.

Until now I don't have any problem, it's smoother and I think it eats less battery than Desire S (both stock ROM).

Waiting for full Sense that i miss from Desire S :crying:
[HTC Desire X] Goldbaer:
Unfortunately I recognized one problem.

After every shutdown and restart of the phone I miss some apps on the screen or in my favourite folder.

Like most of my other apps I transferred them with Titanium Backup from my old phone (Desire).

I cannot see, why these few apps (Financial Times App, Paradise Island, Blast Monkeys, Bad Piggies) behave like this and the others not. Maybe it is associated with root, maybe not...
[HTC Desire X] MaartenXDA:
Yep, have the same problem, it's because those apps are installed on the SD-card, and the phone doesn't link them to the screen when booting.
[HTC Desire X] Goldbaer:
That means theres no way to change that behaviour (without another rom)?
[HTC Desire X] MaartenXDA:
Not that i know, sorry

Why should another launcher solve the problem?

The apps will stay on the SD-card, why should the behaviour change?
[HTC Desire X] adirucio:
The only problem is the small number of developers writing ROMs. :silly:

Because they use other methods for the shortcuts. Just try it and give us feedback. I don't have the problem on my desire x so it's up to you.

Depends on what version of Android you have. I like Holo & Apex launcher for 4.0.x and up. For Android 2.3.x I use miuihome/miui launcher or GoLauncher. If you like effects, you can go with spbShell 3D launcher. It's nice for the futuristic and 3D feel, but it lacks in other key features that other launchers have.

For ics I prefer the touchwiz launcher. You have to flash a zip to make it work right, but its the smoothest launcher I've ever used.

Following that for jb I prefer atom launcher, followed by apex. Atom is decently smooth, and has tons of eye candy.

If I'm on gb I like either adw or go. Adw is fast and light, and looks okay. Plus it let's me theme my phone to look like the nexus s. Go is slightly heavier(not an issue on our device usually) but it has the most features for any launcher you can think of.

I like miui v4, but it lacks certain features I find important (organize folder contents by name)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SG2HDLTE:
Hi,

before I start, I wanna say I have read many threads and used the search function but I still couldnt solve my problem.

I have the I9100G and I was testing different roms, like cm10, supernexus and jelly bam and always the latest versions.

My problem is, when I used mobile internet with my provider, my phone lost its APN settings from time to time. A reboot could bring up the APN settings back and I could use the internet again.

So I was installing APN backup and restore and I think it kinda helped me (also did the integration into the system with titanium backup). now the APN settings do not suddenly disappear but my phone goes into the pin code menu from time to time. from what I read I assume it is because of lost signals.

Then I tried with GetRil and I matched my basedband with RIL (XXLPV).

However, the problem is still there. Whenever I am not using 3G (e.g. internet via wi-fi), the phone is okay, but if i have 3G on for some time my phone asks for the pin code.

What I could do is of course to disable the pin code, but because of security issues i dont wanna do that and the problem wouldnt be really solved.

I would appreciate any help or idea what might cause my trouble.

Thanx
