[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Have you rooted in the past?

Have you installed a recovery?

The phone does not come with a factory installed recovery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baz@gmx.co.uk:
Yes, it sounds like you have not installed recovery, in which case flashtool is your best bet, but you will wipe the phone if you flash an ftf.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pavkoni:
doesn't the phone need to be with debugging mode switched on to use flashtool? i had a look at a few threads but all of them say that i have to have debugging on. i cant access my phone so that's a bit of a problem...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Yes it does...my only suggestion now is to take it back to the shop. If you forgot the unlock they must have a way of factory resetting the handset

EDIT, My mistake, the only thing you can do in flashtool with usb debugging off is flash stock FTF's
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
Well, the phone does come with a stock recovery that does miss out on all the great CWMR features but should offer wiping facilities. Every Android device does or should. Doesn't it?

For flashmode, usb debugging is not needed, as the phone boots into a state separated and independent of the OS and kernel.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
xperia phones do not come with a built in recovery.

Flashtool does not require you to be in usb dubbing mode in order to flash.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pavkoni:
right..i tried to flash it using the latest(i think) version of flashtool (0.9.9.0)..downloaded an ftf file and tried but i can't make it work. when it asks me to boot the phone it shows me the instructions for xperia x10, so i dont know whats the combination of buttons in order to boot it. help would be much appreciated. thanks :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baz@gmx.co.uk:
Read the instructions on Greg's q&a thread, all in one guide. It's easy to follow and there are numerous explanations on how to use flashtool.

Make sure you have placed an ftf in the firmware folder for flashtool and follow the instructions on Greg's guide.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Yes, the Q&A thread is a good read.

But with the latest flashtool you can drag and drop ftf files into the open window withoout having them in the firmware folder.

You get a picture of the x10 because flashtool was originally developed for the x10 but the instructions to enter flashmode are found in the q7a thread. Icould tell you here but that will mean you miss the opportunity to read the first 3 posts in that thread that have most (If not all) your questions answered.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pavkoni:
i did it...thanks guys

Excellent :) Please mark your thread title as (Solved) as per forum guidelines by Avrs, keeps things tidy and people will know a solution was found :)

My battery life so far. WiFi on while at apartment since I have spotty connection. Used GPS for about 20 min and listened to Pandora for 1.75hrs. Brightness auto at 40%. Using fast dormancy .apk enabled.

I feel like this is pretty good batt life for moderate usage. Maybe this will give some sort of base to someone who feels they have a bad battery.

Ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

You have to show screen on time the 1 use of battery
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ketchup4life:
Screen on time is there on one of the better battery stats pictures (last one and towards the end of the picture). It is at 2 hours 4 minutes at that percentage point.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] antheezy:
Wait isn't fast dormancy suppose to be .apk disabled? Its enabled by default meaning your suppose to disable to actually disable fast dormancy.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ketchup4life:
Haha ya, you are correct! My mistake! I meant that it was installed and being used.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] carrett:
Ahhh, deep sleep at last.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jsmizzle:
This is all stock no mods whatsoever. Screen time is all web browsing. 40% brightness. Maybe an hour on 4g and the rest on WiFi. Bluetooth on but not connected. Don't know if this is normal. Wish it were better. If any of you guys are getting better let me know. I can still return for another.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ketchup4life:
That's normal, 6.5hrs of screen on time with wifi on and the phone being on for about 7.5hrs is good. If you are getting 3-5hrs throughout a day, I myself, consider that fine.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xbutchx:
35 hrs and still @ 9%

I'm having no issues. I did a "conditioning" week and have been pleased so far. I'll admit its fairly light usage, but better than any other phone I've had.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DaWongOne:
What is the" conditioning week". I feel that my current OG is not getting the battery life that my first one did
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xbutchx:
Basically, as soon as I pulled it out of the box, I drain the battery until it turns itself off, then recharge from there. I do this cycle for at least a full week...drain to empty, charge to full.....I actually did it for about 10 days with this device. Essentially, I treat it like an old ni-cad battery for that first week.

There is absolutely NO science or expertise behind this. I know a lot of people say that lithium batteries don't require it and it doesn't affect it, but its something I do....and it definitely can't hurt.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] trincisor:
Except only that it does hurt Li-on and Li-Po batteries

There is an article on battery University about this
[AT&T LG Optimus G] blenkows:
My battery life has been awesome so far. I don't charge my phone at night so I like to go to sleep with it how it is. I consistently lose maybe 1% a night. Standby on my GS3 killed my battery.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] carrett:
Back to stock. Battery still amazing.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bmasiero:
Hello All,

I had a TPT with rooted ThinkPadTablet_A400_03_007_132_WE.

Yesterday I installed CWM from here and made a backup of the ICS using the standard dup format.

Then went on to install CM10.

All worked fine and CM10 seems great.

However, I forgot to do a TitaniumBackup of the apps in ICS.

So I went back to CWM to restore the backup ICS.

Here comes the problem.

At restoration, CWM breaks saying it cannot restore system data.

I then cleared cache/data/dalvik and tried again to restore ICS. No luck.

So I´m stuck with CM10 now. Does anyone have an idea how I could recover my ICS installation.

If not, I want to recover it to backup the app I bought through the Lenovo store, which I can no longer reinstall in CM10. Any ideas how I could achieve that?

Thanks a lot,

Bruno

I can recieve messages from facebook through data but i cant do any outgoing things like access google play log in to facebook search the web etc. I have to use wifi. Prior to that i was running wanam rom. And i wanted to try out arhd. And i noticed the problem there so i switch back to wanam and the problem still persist. Aldo i dont know if it has anything to do with it but the enable/disable apn and apn protocol options in mobile networks on phone is grayed out. Maybe a bootloader problem? If so how so how do i fix it? Otherwise how do i fix thisnissue? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
You may have flashed a new modem when you were playing with custom ROMs, check the sticky thread for advice on radio firmware and how to replace yours.

Also check your RIL matches your radio version, GETRIL from the play store may help you identify/solve the problem - but make sure you understand what you are doing before you flash anything.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merbiyatch:
as far as flashing rooting iam well informed on that matter. well, in regards to flashing modems. im on wanam 4.3 to be exact lj5, there is an optionin aroma to update modem etc. i always choose to do so and all was good. now trying out the arhd 15.2 to be exact (also lj5), DOES NOT have the option in aroma to update modem. and if it does it automatically i dont think it would make any difference since both roms i flashed is both based on lj5.

on a the side note i did flash the new lk4 rom from wanam just to test it out. used it for 2 days. all went well but wanted to go back to lj5, just because but even after reverting back to lj5 my data/apn was still still working fine. ( note that i did this prior to OP incident.)

btw i dont know anything about RIL etc.

Since the Nexus 7 was updated to Android 4.2x it's suffered a Bluetooth audio cutout problem when streaming music via wifi or 3g.

Accidentally left my phone in CWM Touch recovery screen most of the night and when I rebooted the phone my vibration motor wasn't functioning properly.

I still get the vibration when I restart the phone, and haptic feedback when I entered an aroma install in the recovery screen.

I tried a nandroid restore and flashed the newest nightly and the problem still occurs.

Help?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cheeyeen:
I was searching around for solutions to help me with my massive battery drain in CM10 A4 for these 2 days and I realised little emphasis had been put on "wakelocks" in our i9003 forums; so I thought some discussion here would be nice to help all of us, especially relatively new people like me.

A detailed explanation can be found in ahalford's thread; and also in the XDA wiki. Below is just what I managed to sort out for our device, specifically CM10 A4 (not sure about applicability in other ROMs).

Wakelocks are identifiable via BetterBatteryStats and I would like to mention a few of them that I could identify (and if possible, solve). My purpose here is just to share some info that I managed to find and if possible provide some guide based on my own experience.

In CM10 A4, I uninstalled:

Google Search

Google Maps

News & weather

Google Backup Transport

CM Wallpapers

Android Live Wallpapers and its associated LWPs

Spare Parts

GTalk

Movie Studio

Certificate Installer

Wakelocks identified:

1. RILJ

Easiest way to solve: Flash the fixed kernel by loSconosciuto. Personally tested it on CM10A4, and SlimBean v3.1; both worked. Just screen off/on and the signals will return.

Alternatively, put the phone to Airplane Mode (I left my WiFi on), reboot. Then leave it to screen off for some minutes, and turn off the Airplane Mode. The signal bars may not return as of yet; so just DC and reconnect the WiFi. Signal bars return, RILJ stopped. :victory:

2. GTALK_ASYNC_CONN_com.google.android.gsf.gtalkservice UNSOLVED

Attempts: Removed GTalk (but problem persisted); Auto-Sync off; and disabled location settings.

Also worth to mention it occurred only when WiFi was on; didn't test it on mobile data (I don't have one).

Attempts of freezing apps: (Still investigating)

Search Application Provider

Network Location

com.android.backupconfirm

Google xxxx Sync (Contacts, Calendar, etc)

* Others recommended to sign out from Google account, and re-add (but I have no experience on this).

* Also somebody was talking about disabling GTalk-related services in

Google Framework Services

using Autorun Manager (or similar); but it didn't work for me.

3. AudioOut_2

Perhaps not a wakelock. If the time matches time of you opening any games/app that produce sound; it should be normal and should stop after exiting application.

* Saw a thread that this may happen if the app did not exit properly (e.g. here)

Any input/discussion would be greatly appreciated.

Will update more whenever I have time! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nicsptl:
I think for 2nd wakeclocks you have to turnoff Auto-sync from setting.Double check your setting.Though there is not perticular button to turnoff Autosync in CM10 you have to use widgets to turnoff autosync.

And go to Play store settings disable all tick.That may be solve second one.:)
