[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] emmanueldmc:
I have 6.1.A.2.45 version of ICS on my Xperia S and my question is that every time I start off the phone after I get a notice saying: Updating android: Optimizing # of applications ... This always happens to me each to start the phone. and it's annoying because it takes longer to start.

I have the phone rooted with CWM v2 for locked bootloaders
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Its a bug, just factory reset if it bothers you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] emmanueldmc:
Its a root, cwm or rom bug?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DekinGBar:
It depends on what have you flasged,moded lately.It is occurring at specific mods....

Hit Thanks if I helped :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] emmanueldmc:
Its very strange because i only install the root and CWM, Nothing else more.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Yasharkhan:
No..its a mod u must have installed.. Flash ur rom again if it bugs u too much
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RawkBob:
I noticed my phone did that when i "cleaned the dalvik cache" using titanium backup as the sony roms seem to create a 0kb file in the dalvik cache folder which tells the phone to to not rebuild the cache.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] emmanueldmc:
Any solution?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kin9nothin9:
this is not a bug this always happen in all ICS rom when u clean dalvik cache as far as i remember

I guess JB too does the same when u clean davlik cache

try booting your phone without clearing devlik cache

if that happened then there is a problem

hope i helped
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] emmanueldmc:
then we can never clean the Dalvink Cache? because once that happens to me I could not start the phone without me optimize these applications again and again ... :crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kin9nothin9:
wait you optimizing them.........the system optimizes them on its own as if freshly installed

yeah it is annoying the more apps you have the more it takes times

I am noob at Linux distros but it seems like the prefetch file used in windows(cannt be sure about this )

you dont have to clear dalvink cache daily just do it when you find your phone laggy or heavy like you do with battery status when you find your battery life is not as it supposed to be
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] moe18:
same problem here but with 6.1.A.2.50 KA SSpeed18, perform a factory reset wipe data and dalvick but nothing, then decide to change rom

and now with Dark Passion Paranoid Android 2.52 JB Beta (wipe dalvick and factory reset) problem still there
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kin9nothin9:
I have official stock ICS and kernel just rooted and installed cwm v2

and whenever i clean dalvik cache it re-optimizes application

there is a definition about dalvik cache on wiki search it on google since i still cannt post the link

so dont worry and this is not a bug this optimization is in all roms base on 4.x.x versions as far as i know

it is a bit annoying i know but cannt do anything about it i guess

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] M2Iceman:
Ok, ready to pull the trigger on a Note 2 but having the ET4G and the issues with reception, Im a little hesitant on Sammy phones now.. I love my Epic T but low up and download speeds kill me. Im missing calls and its not showing up in my call log and texts messages too. I have friends who have the GS3 and some love it and some hate it. Two friends can sit side by side with their SG3 and have totally different reception, I dont get it. I hear the radio and antenna are the same from the GS3 but wondering if the size of the antenna in the Note 2 has changed and if so, is that change enough to help reception issues?

Any input from those who just got one would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinaldistic:
I haven't seen lte, but 3g is just as good as you can get on Sprint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
I too have the epic touch, a d then the s3.

Although I cannot comment on note 2,because I don't have it yet, the s3's radio is much better than epic touch.

Instant gps lock and no LOS
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kelvala:
I too have the E4G and have just been patiently waiting....I almost jumped on the SIII, but thought I would wait. I think GN2 is what I have been waiting for.

The missed calls (never ringing), daily lock ups and reboots are driving me crazy!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] betthacd:
I picked mine up this morning, I'm very happy with reception so far, seeing a lot of improvement over my old epic 4g, and the download speeds seem a tad inproved in my commonly trodden areas
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] theoner1:
I cannot hold a steady 3g data connection. Network mode is set to cdma/lte/evdo and it keep bouncing on and off for 3g. just came from the Evo lte and that phone at the same spot can hold a 3g eHDRP or Evdo just fine. Going to see if sprint can reprovision this phone for me. If this is a normal thing with samsung phone then I have no choice but to return it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LaloHigh:
Let us know the outcome please. Haven't jump ship yet thou, just reading a lot cause I don't want to have the LTE connection issue like the evlte.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] theoner1:
Update:

Phone is now connecting better after switiching perferred roaming from automatic to sprint only. All my previous phone have no problem when set to automatic roaming. Well at least now my data is not dropping like it was. My real test by putting it on sprint only (home on samsung's phone) is to see if it will connect to LTE where's LTE is available. I will find out after work when I'm on my way home since I get no LTE connection here at work.

[General Questions and Answers] bry7:
I currently have a EVO 3D unlocked/S-OFF. I was curious if someone can explain this question to me? My guess is that it connects to the 'next' network and it might or might not get data/voice and try another.
[General Questions and Answers] droiddawg:
Is it the sprint version of the EVO 3d or a gsm? If sprint, what is your PRL number?
[General Questions and Answers] bry7:
I have the Sprint version of the EVO 3D. I am currently running a custom ROM (DisarmedToaster CM10) with no support for PRL that I know of. I have other ROM's with PRL support but I do not really run them. I just would like to know how a custom ROM makes the decision to roam and what network to try to roam on.
[General Questions and Answers] droiddawg:
The PRL itself determines who you roam on and where it happens. While your rom may not display a PRL, the PRL is still on your phone actively working. AOSP roms like AOKP and CM are not be able to update a PRL so its good to have a compact or "senseless" rom to flash to do such updates since an AOSP rom makes you lose vital tools such as EPST.

I guess to answer your question originally, the rom doesn't use the prl, your phone does. Your phone's network status and PRL determine whether you roam or not. Download a senseless rom or small sense 3.0 rom, do a back up of your current rom and flash this because maybe you need to update your PRL to maybe a corporate one. There is a prl thread on the 3d forums somewhere with a PRL claimed to be a corporate that allows roaming without it being counted as roaming. Then you can restore your old rom.

Hope that helps.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopDroid:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiesB:
Just what you prefer.

I suggest you go to a phonestore and play around with some devices because everyone's opinion is different. Some will say you have to buy Sony, others will say you need Samsung, htc, etc...

Choose what you like the most yourself, and don't go by other people opinions.

(This is what I did when I bought my Xperia S)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pumå:
Well, TiesB basically said what I also would suggest. Go to phonestores and take a closer look to the phones which have drawn your attention.

The good thing about Android is that there are many phones with different hardware. Everyone has different preferences. Look at your own preferences and take the phone which matches most.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
I have four options for you:

1) Samsung Galaxy S3 (Too mainstream for me. Great phone anyway)

2) Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (If you are okay with the extra large screen, its a winner in term of specs, raw power, battery life)

3) HTC One X+ or XL (not sure if its available on the US yet)

4) Sony Xperia T (Sony's flagship device. Pretty nice IMO.)

With either of these, you will be satisfied. I have noted that there is a current trend of devs moving to Xperia devices, mostly because seems like Sony is making great phones lately and they are becoming dev-friendly. Just my .02
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zwindchung:
How much budget do you have? If you are going for high end phone, I think you should buy the new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as it performs well and has satisfying battery life...If you don't like the gigantic 5.5 inch screen, then your second choice should be Iphone 5 or Galaxy S3...These are my recommendations, hope they help :D:victory:

New Version of Google Wallet

I had a Rooted Sprint GS3 and Google Wallet worked flawlessly. There was an "Unsupported Device" banner at the top of the app but it worked. Rooting does not interfere with Wallet working. It may be because of some new software issue with our new Note 2's and the older versions of GW. I was reading that Google Wallet has an "update coming soon" Let's hope this fixes the problem.

There's more info on the Google Wallet website. I have under 10 post so I can't post the link.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazy talk:
the N2's (atleast the T-mobile version) appear to be missing some libs and whatnot. can someone with a sprint device try changing their Build.Prop to a GSM Galaxy Nexus and let me know if they get stuck at the same point we are?

Also, the CWM zip should be perfectly safe to flash on your CDMA variants. but make a backup just incase.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ogdobber:
hey guys just a little insight.

there are only a handful of devices actually supported by google wallet.

the note 2, sgs3 (non-sprint), and nexus s (non-sprint) are NOT supported

however, we were able to get wallet to work on all variants of the sgs3 and nexus s. To do this you MUST be rooted. Once google wallet is up and running, there is a banner at the top that says "device not supported" this banner is merely a root "warning"

Now, on these unsupported devices, the wallet apk from the market won't work because it has a device check. and if your device isn't one of the one oficially supported by wallet, there will be errors.

If you have a device other than the above mentioned, you need to use a wallet apk modified to bypass the "device check". Paul over at modaco is a trusted member of the android community and has been patching the wallet apk for some time.

a flashable version of his wallet apk can be found here

Another "trick" is to change the build.prop to that of a supported device. Wallet can then be downloaded from Play...but it won't equate into a working wallet. So in reality, this is only useful to add your credit cards to gw on your "non-official" device. If the build.prop is not changed back to the stock values, then problems will arise.

If you install the Modaco wallet version and it still doesn't work, then the libs most likely aren't correct, and the only answer is to wait until a (note 2) rom is released that has the smx enabled (again, info on the smx/libs can be read about in the above link)

Sprint has been the biggest supporter of google wallet, so expect an update for the note 2 from them first that has the necessary files to support google wallet

Libs from another samsung device will NOT work, so don't bother trying
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
Now, on these unsupported devices, the wallet apk from the market won't work because it has a device check. and if your device isn't one of the one oficially supported by wallet, there will be errors.

eligible devices (officially)

-nexus s (sprint)

-galaxy nexus (sprint)

-galaxy victory (sprint)

-galaxy nexus gsm (play ed)

-sgs3 (sprint,metro, us cell)

-lg viper (sprint)

-lg optimus elite (sprint)

-htc evo (sprint)

-nexus 7

-galaxy victory (sprint)

With this kind of list, I would expect the Note 2 to be added right away. Excellent. Good job Sprint. I'm surprised.
