Yep me too but never lose my hope... will retry later and i think to make a petition but we're all in different country so different service of sony. But if someone are interresting pm me and we will see if it's releasable
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
In the past Sony have only backed down when we have found our own ways of unlocking the bootloader.

The xperia range was never meant to be unlocked and the official unlocking was only released by sony after Blagus and the_laser found a way to unlock the device unnoficially. With the tightening of exploits and the unremovable battery my guess is that sony will not allow any more devices to be unlocked than they already do.

Many carriers (AT&T for example) actively do not want sony to unlock it. Furthermore, secutity has forced the removal of certain drm keys when unlocking so that certain functions of the phone no longer work.

A petition will do no good, IMHO, what we need is our own way to unlock irrespective of the whims of sony and/or carrier.

Untill then, be carefull which device you buy and which carrier you use.

ok but it's strange spanish guy can do that with their sony center or it's a joke
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vinss68:
it's a little expansive but go on SEtool forum , apparently some people unlock their bootloader but you can't make it when you want because you need s1server online.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] davidmarcoes:
Not a joke at all, members of spanish forum htcmania.com pressured Movistar to totally unlock their Xperia terminals once finished the contract, and finally they gotted (in fact they got for all spanish operators, mine is Vodafone tied). Thats the reason we need to provide a valid simunlock code when we request Sony for unlock our bootloaders.

Hi. Christmas is approaching and we promised our son to buy him an ipad or laptop. He is undecided what to buy. I know that mostly it depends on what you need it for however I would like some suggestions from you. And I have one question about the ipad. Can you play java and shockwave games such as the games in facebook on the ipad?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] speedyink:
No, you can't play Facebook games on the iPad. The only alternative is trying to find the same game in the app store.

iPad is good for strictly internet browsing, maybe looking at pictures, or watching movies (if you can successfully transfer them to the device with the oh so awesome iTunes)

A laptop will do everything, being a full fledged computer.

iPad is easier to use though for the things it can do (except transferring stuff to it), so if he just plans on browsing the internet (without flash or shockwave content), and basic stuff like that than the iPad

If he wants to be able to do everything he can do on the computer the iPad will seem lacking.

I've found a number of help of how to make the nvFlash files to make my Infinity unbrickable. But I cannot seem to find any concise instructions on what to do with the 8 files I end up with. I've saved them all over my system. But I do know how to use them. Could someone point me in the right direction?

I was unlocked, rooted, ICS, using TWRP 2.3.1. I can get into recovery, and I can get into Fastboot.

My tablet is stuck at the logo with the spinning icon, and shutting it down only starts up again. The tablet is also getting a little warm. The only way to fully shut it off is to use TWRP to power off.

Thanks, in advance. I'm panic-ing. :crying:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
You don't need NvFlash to recover from that, just flash an official Ics or JB rom from recovery. Also try a factory reset from recovery, but i guess it won't work, maybe you tried to install something that is messing with you sytem files or some mod (dpi change, beats audio, chainfire,,etc) ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Reggie777:
Thanks for the reply. I'm just overjoyed you didn't say it was hopeless. :highfive:

Sorry to be such a noob, but how do I flash an official ICS or JB rom from recovery? I was on ICS and wouldn't mind going up to JB. But when I went to the Asus site to download the update, I could not find my SKU [?] among them. I think mine is ILM. So where could I find an official JB rom without the SKU limitation? Also, when you say a "factory reset", I am assuming you mean a clean wipe? I hadn't tried that.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZakooZ:
It's compatible with your device

It's important because it adds a lot of new functionality to your phone, like swap, cifs, cpu governors, i/o governors, undervolting, and various other tweaks

You can install it by flashing any custom ROM

wich of them

Hi

I want to use it too.

But i have a question.

A few weeks ago i flashed Rafael's kernel, after a few days the phone rebooted during a call and bootlooped. I had to flash with odin back to stock kernel.

As i read, Rafael made a version with E3 recovery.

Which is better for my phone? E3, CWM or RZ recovery version?

I have a stock ROM, baseband XXLA2.

I use ext3 with Link2SD.

I think there are no more important infos.

I, too, my girlfriend has this phone and the kernel 201210210105 and the cell restarts on call .. how do I put the stock kernel? and I can no longer use DroidWall (iptables) but link2sd still work?

I would try the final version but I did not understand the warning
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morrisx:
Hi,

You can flash back to stock kernel, when you flash the whole stock rom.

The first warning? Me too :) can not understand.

The second: when you want to restore a backup, which you backuped with an earlier version of the kernel, then you will (soft)brick your phone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidnow:
Hi brother,

You can flash the E3 one....the CWM and RZR have some ext 4 problems. Rafael himself recommends the E3 version. There is a bug in the kernel...(rebooting). He will look into the matter as and when he gets time. Till then if you dont have problems with a few reboots, then use the kernel or stay with the stock one. :thumbup:
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morrisx:
Hi,

Thanks for your answer :)

I just want to try swaping, but the stock kernel doesn't supports it :(

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kipsijus:
Yes, that kernel has problems with random reboots and there is no solution at this moment. However, the issue is not as bad as it may seem as "random" literally means random - you might get 3 days of stability and then 3 reboots on the 4th day. Anyway this is a relatively minor inconvenience and will be sorted out soon I'm sure. You can always go back to the stock kernel through Odin

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

Oh and if you do flash Rafael kernel, get the E3 version, the one that doesn't format system partitions to ext4. Or else you risk of soft bricking the phone on any of those random reboots I mentioned in the earlier post. Totally not cool

That's beccause you use CWM or RZR recovory instead of E3(stock recovory).

After a few days of testing this is howto avoid reboots on s5830i with Rafael's kernel:

1. Disable 156MHz frequency - allow to scale CPU from 312 to 832Mhz. Best way to do this is to install "No frills CPU control" from google play

2. (optional) Increase voltage in kernel sources and re-compile it. This is easy if You have Ubuntu as scripts are prepared for this system. My values can be found in one of my previous posts.

After doing this I had no single reboot. Works 100%. I'm not sure if step 1 without step 2 will help much, but can guarantee that doing both will solve Your problems.

Quick backgroud (what I suspect):

1. Not every phone is ready for low voltages introduced by rafael. Some of them needs higher voltage - this is first source of reboots

2. It looks that some of s5830i does not like 156MHz, especially during call. Rafael has added this frequency for longer battery life, but as we can see it was not a good move for all the phones.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kipsijus:
I can confirm this, after disabling 150mhz speed the phone got mostly stable. Still reboots sometimes under heavy app load but that is to be expected I guess, it might be caused by programs too

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dNik17:
the type is intentional *honest

If your installing it with the CWM recovery you need your file system to be EXT4, by default the 5830i is RFS file format. If you try with CWM you get boot loop or stuck at boot screen without loop.

There is a .zip file update you can use to convert the phone to EXT4 in the Galaxy Y forums its called Ext4_Converter-signed.zip search it there for download. You need to (or at least I did have to) flash the CWM kernel with ODIN (as PDA **do not select re-partition) After the kernel is flashed then format System/Data/Cache with the installed CWM that comes up after flashing and then select a rom .zip to install.* (see below) Then you need to flash the modules.zip file to solve problem and add functionality e.g. headset not working etc.

The e3 version (stock recovery) works only on RFS but is perfect to use with stock rom to get the benefits of the kernel without reformatting your file system.

Side note to return to RFS. Flash stock rom with the .pit file clicking re-partition.

hope this helps =) if so maybe a thanks would be nice!

See above about converting system to EXT4 as simply flashing the kernel does not make it EXT4 you need to convert then reformat.

Has anyone else plugged their S3 into a high-quality pair of headphones or other soundsystem? Is the quality poor for you? I've tried Spotify (with quality set to High) and YouTube (on HD), and with both apps, the output to my headphones is very "dry" (it sounds like it's coming from an old radio). Any attempts to mess with the equalizer only result in worse-sounding audio.

Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me? I'm running a Telus ROM on a U.S. AT&T phone, so I'm trying to find out if that's the problem or not...

I tried plugging in the headphones a couple times to test the jack and had the same results, and I switched between PowerAMP and Google Music to see if it was an app thing.

I normally use BT for my audio, but I also use the headphone jack to plug into my car system. Yesterday I used the white Samsung headphones for the first time. I noticed that at very low volumes, there was bad hiss and musical artifacts. However, I never hear that with my BT headphones, and I never hear it in the car using the headphone jack. Granted, with the car the volume on the S3 is much higher that when I have the headphones, which may have something to do with it. I use poweramp as my music player.

The audio hardware on the GS3 is excellent. At least as good, probably better, than any of my other portable devices(laptop, sansas, ipod, half a dozen random phones. I have a pretty good ear and Denon AHD2000 headphones.

I have had problems with custom ROMs and audio quality. Serenity specifically. It would sound okay and then for no reason start sounding like a telephone in the 70's.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] superballz00:
Not sure if I have a bad headphone jack or if the loud hiss is normal. It feels like the gain is set way too high and causes sensitive headphones produce a very loud hiss. When using it with my Fischer Audio DBA-02 (43Ω / 108dB), I can hear a very noticeable even with the volume at 0 with music playing. The hiss is close to twice as loud as the HP out on my 5yrs old laptop with the volume at 1. It is also a little louder than my normal listening level even with the volume at 1. I've also noticed distortion at very quiet parts of songs. This can clearly be heard when there's just a piano playing quietly. These don't seem to be as big as a problem with less sensitive headphones. The hiss is half as loud with the stock Captivate headphones and very much acceptable with the stock S3 headphones. The hiss is almost silent with my HiFiMan RE262 (150Ω / 95dB).

Is the hiss on the S3 louder than your other phones? Mines is by far the loudest out of all the phones I've tried so far. I just want to make sure before I bring my DBA-02 to the store to test it with another S3. The hiss with the headphone out on my Captivate is probably 20dB quieter at stock settings and 40dB quieter (pretty much silent) with the headphone amp set to -57dB in Voodoo Sound.
