[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhi.a3s:
This is basicly related to network.It happens only while using 2G not on 3G.so put your phone to 3G mode only.

Otherwise disabling home button also solves this problem.

Try searching how to disable home button on xda.

Anyone use this feature on their S2? Its on Sammy based ROMs. I noticed if you enable it, it makes the phone run noticeably slower, which is presumably good to prolong battery life.

Haven't had a good use of it, as I only discovered it yesterday, but does anyone else?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
Yes, of course.. It's a feature of JB. But what's your question about it?:p

Sent from the Matrix
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olyloh6696:
Its also present on ICS :)

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, but my question was, do people find it makes a noticeable improvement to battery life?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubAholic:
Also on gb :)

And i think it underclocks your cpu, so basicly yes
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Its only meant to be used when your battery is running low.

You can switch it on when say your battery is at 30%.

But as you know that will hinder the phones full potential.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olyloh6696:
Yes, I have seen that there are two options, for system and custom power saving.

When I choose system, it underclocks the CPU, but when I choose custom, it doesn't control the CPU, only the data connectivity options.

Just wondering how much extra juice you guys have managed to squeeze out of it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olyloh6696:
Yeah, I know its primarily meant to be used with low battery, but sometimes when I go on long journeys, and no access to a charger, it may be useful.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -iNCEPTiON-:
I always keep that on .. does it make any difference ??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olyloh6696:
You tell me. Do you notice any battery difference with it on or off?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -iNCEPTiON-:
I have not checked it when its off as I told I keep it on lol

This is my battery stats with power saving mode always on
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olyloh6696:
Ah, we must have very different usage!

I see you're on the leaked JB which drains battery faster.

On stock ICS, without power saver, I can push to 3 hours 20 minutes screen on time. Medium brightness.

Hi, I just developed an app and wanted to share it with the community, maybe it's not useful to all but somebody will see it useful.

With this app you can store 4 location and recover it later. This location can be your car, moto, your hotel or even a boat. You can change their label to whatever you want for example a where do you taste the best coffee or where do you saw a nice store.

The app allows you to store your parking information and display it in a desktop widget (and if you are in the latest version of android you can have it in your lockscreen)

You can travel to each location by foot, driving or using public transport just one click far away.

Install xperia play drivers first

Please note the .ftf is thr firmware you are going to flash.

The kernel is .img eg(doomkernelv14.img)

Before you flash a firmware of kernel you must install some drivers for the xperia PLAY.

Go to flashtool /drivers

Install the two xperia play drivers

Then you can start flashing firmwares and whatever

Greetings Folks!!!

I m a noob at rooted androids, so please forgive my idiocy.

I hv recently rooted my Neo V (stock firmware 4.0.4 - 587) and am hoping to install some custom ROM. I read that I need CWM in place first. So installed X-Parts, installed the CWM by pvyParts, and rebooted my phone. While reboot, I saw the blue led glow on Sony logo, and tried hitting home key, but the phone never went in recovery mode. I tried multiple reboots with different hardware keys, but no good. Tried reinstalling X-Parts, stilll nogo. Although, I can go into recovery mode via X-Parts tools menu just fine. Only the recovery mode wont start by hitting hardware keys. Any idea?

PS:- I hv installed Rom Mgr as well, but not sure if I need it to work with X-Parts.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
Keep tappin the screen when you see the sony logo and blue led..or u could just keep wipin the screen at that point ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] acemccloud1:
Thanks a lot LoneWanderer!!! Worked like a charm!!! And here I was, tapping all possible hardware buttons on my Neo V, because that's what all the sites asked me to do. Thanks again mate!!! :good: Already hit the "Thanks" button for you ;)

Now, moving on to the second part of my query. I have installed ROM Manager as well (I will admit that I am not sure if X-Parts & ROM Manager work independent of each other). I booted into recovery mode successfully now, and went through the "Backup" option in "Backup & Restore" menu, and it backed up all my system & data files (went on for like 7 - 8 mins). I am not sure if this is the same as taking a backup of you ROM (which can be used to restore your phone to a previous state i.e. as it was before you installed a custom ROM on it). Some help would be nice.Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
yea..i found that as i was wipin the screen when rebootin lol :D

the backup in recovery will backup everythin..the entire rom..apps..data..everythin and yes it can be used to restore to previous state(ie restore to the point where u took the backup).. and always make a backup before tryin a new mod/theme.. :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] acemccloud1:
Does that mean this CWM (5.5.0.4, I believe) installed thru X-Parts can be used without having any need of ROM Manager (at least for backing up & restoring ROMs, and installing custom ROMs)?

Also, how'z that "Jelly Sandwich 7.4" ROM working out for your Neo V? Is it stable & fast? Any Pros & Cons you noticed? If it's good, I would like to give it a go. However, most of the procedures I noticed in the install instructions in the threads for these custom ROMs are very short (precise for a knowledgeable guy, but not very elaborate for a noob :confused: ). I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction to get some detailed step-by-step instructions to install a custom ROM on my Neo V. Thanks again mate!!! :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
yup CWM does all that..backup..restore and flashin custom roms..

JS7.4 is nice..fast and smooth..best part, free ram after boot is 200+:D and sways between 180-160mb..after some usage..its a stock based one..so evrythin works fine..has stock icons..themes...no force closes..or crashes..the latest JS is 8.5 though(but with custom icons which werent to my liking :p)

well different roms have slightly different instructions..which are mentioned in their resp threads...just follow them precisely..and install thru CWM..and yes they are short..but there isnt anythin more to them.. :)

And if ur bootloader is locked..and ur plannin to install JS..then dont follow the instructions given by the Dev..search for the ones given by Pandemic in the thread... :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] acemccloud1:
Thanks for the tip mate!!! I m still goin thru the learning phase about rooting, flashing etc. but loving it so far. Due to my lack of knowledge on the matter and the risk involved (of bricking my phone), I think its best to clarify everything first, before doing anything stupid :eek:

Keeping my fingers crossed :fingers-crossed: and hoping for the best :good:

Don't do an OTA update if you have a custom recovery !

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] offspin2040:
How To Access The Metro Apps Folder​

Windows 8 introduces a new type of apps called metro apps or modern apps.These apps can be installed with a tap from the windows store.This system works out great for the average consumer but its a nuisance for power users.And since most of the xda devs are power users I decided to write this guide to accessing the metro apps.The metro apps are installed in C/Program Files?Windowsapps/ This folder is hidden and locked away to prevent users from modding the apps.However there is a way to access the folder which I am going to describe in detail here.This procedure is really simple and there is absolutely no need to go into the command line like how I read in some other tuts I found on the web.

STEP 1

The Windowsapps folder is a hidden folder so first of all you will need to go to the control panel and display it in small icons view.Then go to folder options and tick the option that says show hidden files,folders and drives.After doing this click apply and ok and exit.Now when you navigate to c program files,you should be able to see a folder named windowsapps.It will appear in white.

STEP 2

Now double click on the folder.It will not open.Instead,you will get a warning saying that you currently don't have access to this folder.Click continue.Another warning will pop up saying that permission to open the folder has been denied.Click on the security Tab Link.

STEP 3

In the security tab,click on continue.A box will open which will list all the permission holders of the windowsapps folder.It will display TrustedInstaller as the owner.Click Change.A box will open up.Change The Owner to your name and click check names,correct it if you have written the wrong name.Click Ok.The permission will be changed.Check replace owner on subcontainers and objects too.

STEP 4

Now you will need to restart windows explorer for the changes to be effective.Now,you have complete access to the windowsapps folder.:victory:

USES

Now that you have got access to the folder,There are a great many things you can do..Ill list some of them to increase productivity.

1.Delete Preinstalled Useless Apps

2.Read the Source Code

3.Modify/Play around with the apps

etc etc

Enjoy Guys....Hope I helped.......:)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
This has been posted here since at least the Win8 RTM, possibly before. Please search before posting. Also, I would expect a "power user" to already have "Show hidden files and folders" enabled and to be familiar with NT and NTFS permissions systems. Oh, and getting to Folder Options is way simpler than going through Control Panel; you can either open it right from the Explorer ribbon (View -> Options) or just via Start search.

Also, be aware that "Metro" is not the actual name of the interface anymore (officially); some metro transit agency apparently raised a legal fuss over it. The new name is (in classic Microsoft branding failure style) "Windows Store apps" although you'll occasionally hear "modern" used too. When I'm feeling snarky (at least 70% of the time I'm on this site) I call it TIFKAM (The Interface Formerly Known As Metro).
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] IIIMJRIII:
modifying metro app

i modified the code in one of my app's java script files, but it does not affect the app itself... just to check i even made the whole code a comment (with /*....*/) and still the app ran normally... why?

in the other hand if i touch the .css code or the html code the app crushes, even if i only want to change the color code.... why?

i will be thankful if someone could answer these two questions for me, it will help me alot....

thanks in advance

What kind of help are you expecting ? Tho it's obviously not what you want to hear, it doesn't sound like it's a firmware issue that might mean it's (relatively) easily fixable.

If its under warranty, send it in to Samsung/authorised repairer & hope they don't care or don't notice you've been running non-stock firmware on the phone. You never know, they might fix it under warranty. If they won't, then you can look at having it JTAG'd or repaired locally by a 3rd party repairer given that will probably be cheaper than having Samsung/authorised repairer fix it if they do decide to charge you.

Anything anyone here tells you to try is just delaying having your phone fixed/depriving you of your phone for as long as you delay having it fixed.
