4ext from day 1. Hasn't failed me yet. I keep it updated too.
[HTC Sensation] Clem360:
4ext

I think 4ext is the most widely used recovery. SmartFlash makes it stand out.

Has anyone come across a keyboard case that would work well for lap use when sitting on the couch or in a recliner? I frequently like to write code from the couch, and I would like to do that with my Nexus instead of dragging out a laptop.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Varekai:
This is what I use for that, tho it's not a case.

[Nexus 10 Accessories] heywire:
Just to follow up on this... I ended up purchasing the Logitech keyboard case (made by Zagg) for the Galaxy Note 10.1. The Nexus fits in the slot on the keyboard case perfectly. It does not fit face down as a case, as to be expected, but I knew that prior to purchasing. I'm sitting here typing at a pretty normal speed sitting on my couch. The tablet is quite secure, no worry of it sliding out of the case as I move around. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to use their Nexus 10 like a laptop on their lap. Hopefully Logitech makes this model for the Nexus, then it would double as a case as well.

Has any one got this issue with the gps not working or stoped yet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] astromud:
Yes! My GPS periodically stops working, every 3-5 days, and the only way I have found to get it back is to reboot. I have googled the issue and turned up nothing. Running on stock ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MisterEdF:
I have had this problem 2 or 3 times so far over the last couple weeks. Have had zero GPS problems for months. I am rooted and find that if I reset and redownload the A-GPS data it fixes it until it happens again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] domin8:
Yeah mine does not work either
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] astromud:
I tried clearing AGPS data with GPS Status, but didn't seem to help, only a reboot did the trick for me.

We'll see how long I make it this time after the reboot from the multi app update.
[Motorola Droid X2] G2uypie:
What is your favorite Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean ROM? Is it stable too?

I've downloaded a few ROMS and none of them have been up to my expectations.

I've used:

CM10 A2

Paranoid Android
[Motorola Droid X2] ROMFlashah:
CM10 is the most stable JB ROM we have right now. Not sure what your expectations are, but it's not likely for there to ever be any *truly* stable and 100% functioning ICS/JB ROMS for this phone. If you want stability and functionality, you'll have to stick with GB.
[Motorola Droid X2] G2uypie:
I'm not a fan of the stock GB. I need my DX2 until April, so i'm looking for something I can use with almost all functionality. I've given CM10 a go but theres a few features I need that arent stable enough. I got bored of using eclipse, and i'm not liking MIUI right now.

Sorry for being picky, lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] Christato71:
I am currently running CM10 Alpha 2 and, as mentioned above, it is very stable. It is also my daily driver. Every once and awhile there are a few quirks, but that's to be expected.
[Motorola Droid X2] G2uypie:
I'll give it another run I guess. I just need to watch my battery because i find myself charging 3 times a day with it.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I think the problem is that you have "expectations" lol. These ROMs are never going to be perfect like they are on other devices. The core of these ROMs and this phone is still Gingerbread so its pretty much like running Windows 8 on a computer that is only meant for windows XP. It will not be perfect. (best analogy I could think of. lol). Basically, we should be lucky to even have ICS or Jelly Bean because Motorola has decided to just keep our DX2 on Gingerbread.

That said, I am running Jelly Bean AOKP. There are issues that some may find to be a deal breaker. But its easy to live with it when you learn how to work around them.
[Motorola Droid X2] G2uypie:
I'm going to look through a few more ROMs and see if there are any I like. I'll probably have to stick with Eclipse.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
The night Dragon put out Cm9 I damn near **** myself. That was my first go with ICS. It was FRIGGIN SWEEET

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ennajmy:
Hello Everyone

I tried to find a solution without troubling anyone, so I searched a lot and a lot of threads all over the internent with no hope . I have tried as many possiblesolutions as I could find even those which are not meant for xperia play. I will explain everythingvery clearly for those who want to help or even try to ...

The Problem :

My Xperia Play suddenly

doesn't get pass the Sony Ericsson text at the boot screen

which appearsas soon as you turn on the device. It

keeps hanging

on that white text on that black background for hours

until I pull out the battery

. I then found out that

if I connect my charger before turning on the device

it will boot normally as usual

. I also found out that

as soon as I disconnect the charger cable , the phone will immediately turn off

. Another important issue is that even when I mamange to boot the phone normally by the charger ,

the screen does not respond to my touch

even in CWM touch recovery in Doomkernel . Despite that , I can operate the phone completely using the key pad . That means the phone is full functional except for the " boot " and " touch " problems.

What I have done so far :

- I flashed different stock firmware FTF several time via Flash Mode

including .42 , .58 enhanced , and .62 using flashtool with flashing ending in success each and everytime .

- I flashed different kernels via Fastboot Mode

including DoomlordKernel v14 (GB ) , DoomlordKernel v3 ( ICS ) , and Lupusv11 ( ICS)

- I have accessed CWM recovery

serveral times and formated each and everything that could be formatted including data , system , cache ..etc

- I have also tried flashing different ROMs

such as NXT 1.3 and Markpython XPlay ICS

- I have put phone in a rice bag

in case it had moister or water damage !

- I have disassemble the phone completely

part by part and found nothing damaged so I cleaned it and ressambeled it again

- I have left the phone for days without turning it on

. I also tried keeping the battery out for several hours.

- I have used a replacement new battery

just in case it was my battery has a problem.

-

I relocked my bootloader and repaired my phone via Sony Update Service

and the repairing process endedin success.

The results so far :

Nothing changed at all

. After doing all of the above and repeating it. I even did more things I can't remember now.

Everything is still the same

.

The phone is stuck at SE text at boot screen

and if connected to charger then turned on it will boot normally but the touch screen doesn't respond for some reason I can't figure out , although the digitizer is intact.

What I am doing now :

- I have no more trick to try and

I am totally depressed about this ZOMBIE Xperia Play

which is half working and half borken.

Thank you very much for your time and for trying to help

I am waiting for your suggestions ...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
For your touch screen problem, I doubt that the digitizer is damaged. As for your booting issue, I'm not sure.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickholtus:
looks like the battery doesn't give enough power to the phone
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ennajmy:
Maybe it is invisabely damaged . However, if I can't fix my boot issue , getting a replacement digitizer is just a waste of money.

I tried using a new battery the other day at the phone's shop and the same thing happened . The phone just

doesn't continue to boot and get stuck at Sony Ericsson text.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ennajmy:
The power turns on and the screen turns on when the I power the device. The problem is booting into the system.

It get stuck at Sony Ericsson text . However, it's very mysterious why the phone turns off when the charger is disconnected , perhaps the real question is : how come the battery powers the device but can not boot it and keep it running ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
You didn't say what version is your xperia play is. Is it R800x, R800i, R800a, R800at? If you have the xperia play CDMA version you cant use GSM kernel or roms.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel_Nabs:
I dropped my phone (after replacing the housing) and had the same thing happen to me. Opened it up again and the digitizer cable was loose. Fixed it for me.

EDIT- My phone would turn on without the need of the cable, but i couldnt mount my sd card/enter mtp unless i connected the usb cable prior to turning it on (so my issue was slightly different).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ennajmy:
It's R800i , and it is used to work normally. I also tried stock kernel and nothing changes ... the problem persists.

Thanks for trying to helo.

I already opened up my device and disconnected the digitizer cable and reconnected it and the touch was

still not working but I'll try it again as soon as I fix my boot issue. The phone doesn't boot to the system

unless connected to the charger prior to turning it on.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ennajmy:
my phone is only 6 months old ... It runs perfectly when connected to charger but as soon as I disconnect it the phone turns off ... using a new battery doesn't solve the problem ... what could it be that causing this ?!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Gamer:
Final Solution to your problem

You will have to use odin. Just connect it to a laptop/desktop and run Odin. It will fix your problem and if this doesnt work you will have to send it to a Sony centre in your neighborhood. But I am sure odin will fix it. I had a similar problem once. So try odin.

Click thanks if you appreciate this

Download link to odin http://www.android.gs/download-odin-3-07/
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ennajmy:
I never used this program before . I thought it was flashtool equivalent for samsung phones. I guess I was wrong. I really appreciate your help . Could you please explain more about the process. Give me steps to follow... Thank you very much I really appreciate your great help.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
I'm pretty sure Odin is only for Samsung phones as the phone has to be in "download mode" for anything to work and well Sony devices don't have a download mode
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerfries:
Odin is only for Samsung phones, and I'm having an issue quite similar with my Play R800at. I just got it from a friend. It boots, continues up to ATT screen, then resets. I can't figure out how to boot into recovery, I can't find flashtool, I'm completely lost. I should have stuck with my S3.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Well Sony xperia devices don't have a stock recovery...so it should go into fast boot if you take the battery out and hold search on the phone,plug the USB into the PC and the phone led should turn blue and bam your in fast boot
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerfries:
I did fix the boot loop issue. If you download the Sony pc companion, hold the back button and plug the usb in at the same time, it will download a repaired version of the latest firmware and fix the boot loop.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArranJB04:
Just wondering but did anyone solve the initial issue as the same thing has happened to my xperia r800i
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olokos:
1. Flash ftf with flashtool

2. Flash gb/ics/jb kernel

3. Flash gb/ics/jb rom via the kernel recovery

It should do it but kernel has to match the ROM.

Example: if i want to flash jb rom then I have to flash jb kernel.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArranJB04:
The flashtool gets stuck on 2 percent how do I fix it?

Odp: Totally Depressed : My Xperia Play is Stuck at Sony Ericsson Text at Boot Screen

Try to flash it again.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
Update to latest flashtool then flash it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quiksilver669:
Hi,

I am also in the same boat as yourself; Xperia Stuck in boot, plug it in and it works, but touchscreen is not responsive.

Today I just managed to solve the boot part. Used flashtool on a non-windows 8 system and now my phone is up and running, except for the touchscreen part which is still there.

I have tried everything you did too, except for disassembling the device. I want to try everything else first before I do something like that.

I was wondering if you've resolved this issue, you might want to share details on how you did it.

I am not ready to give up on my phone.

So please, if there's anybody out there that has a suggestion on what should I do. Be my God.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maeur1:
Holy moley, I was in the same situation, but what i did was i ordered a replacement digitizer, REPLACE YOUR DIGITIZER. It will work perfectly, I dont know why, but it wasnt able to initialize the touchscreen and so it failed to boot, but after replacing it, it works perfectly. Try this. Hope it helps.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SIMUSHI:
Its the flex cable that is damaged.. I had the same problem after replacing it, it worked
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saqibkhan:
[MENTION=4950972]Ennajmy[/MENTION]

its either the Digitizer or the Flex Cable.. Try the flex first.. its only 4 dollars.. available on aliexpress .. then go for the digitizer.. you hav spares in any case even if doesn't work. most probably should. or else the motherboard is gone.
[HTC One X] paulinodf:
I'm so upset...

I bought my new HOX 3 days ago and was enjoyining it so much... So today I was going to answer a call and the phone dropped on the floor. It wasn't a very bad drop, and I thought nothing had happened. But when I checked, there was a huge crack on the screen. The LCD is perfect, but still there was a crack.

there are so many videos of people using HOX as a hammer, scratching the screen with knifes/etc and nothing happens! I simple drop cracked it! Unbelievable!

The worse part is that I live in Brazil and bought the HOX in NY... no warranty at all.

What do you guys suggest?

Do I have to buy a new screen (with LCD) or just the glass? How can I be sure they're original?

Thanks =/
[HTC One X] peedub:
Doesn't sound good. From what I've read, the glass and the LCD are glued together. Replacing it yourself sounds pretty difficult!
[Defy General] 4cidj4y:
Hey guys,

just some thoughts on our beloved device.

Seems this christmas a lot of users are just switching to a newer device. It is a subjecive observation for sure, but as I started following the forums this summer (meaning 2012) and finally gathered enough "self-esteem" to "hack" my defy+ and flash a non-official software I noticed it is getting really silent on the forums right now. There are a lot of good reasons for that. Could be that this device just isn't able to catch up with all the official updates. I mean, everything after 2.3.6 was only possible through the help of voluntary developers. It is a miracle to have the latest versions of Android on this phone. And if you think about it (not aiming to reduse the effort of the community) it was mainly because of the leading (and voluntary) example of Quarx.

It is just how it goes. Now, a lot of users, being driven by their inhabited impulse of jelaousy just switch to a younger device. The media promotes it. The companies pay for it. My question is: why? I bought this device (defy+) in winter 2011 (one year ago). And advertising tells me it is time to get a new one? Are you nuts? I like things that pay out. This must be a joke. It is already a "outdated device"? Only because Motorola itself doesn't want to give an update? I am convinced, that if we the users don't change our attitude, then companies can play with us as if we were puppets until we die. But is the technique really outdated? Why do we need an upgrade? To get faster downloads at the bus stop? To get a faster connection at work (although there are already to pcs, that we could use). What are we practically using these new devices for? Is there such a big need to pay for these upgrades that advertising suggests if we don't really have a use for them?

The main thing, they are usefull for is communication. And do we really need the newest hardware for that? The defy is very capable of dealing with our needs! And for the software there might be an even better choice than sticking to Google's.

With seeing that developement of alternative software for the defy is diminishing, I would like to point to the developers that spend so much effort on this device to just take a break and then go into the developement of the Firefox OS with at least the same or even bigger ambition that you have put to Google's crap (Google still crap btw, we do not really know and can't really expect what they are working for to achieve but humanitarian goals aren't it).

Thanks for your contribution, I owe you a lot.
[Defy General] niksy+:
Oh, man, how much do I agree on this! Very much! :cool:

Anyhows... I do agree with you, brother and I both bought DEFY's last winter and I don't see an ACTUAL reason to replace it... Yes, I would love a bigger screen, better camera, faster CPU, more RAM... But the truth is I don't need any of those, as the DEFY does everything I need. Texting, surfing, gaming, multimedia... I'm not going to change it soon. And I do hope developers will stick with it for a little while longer :)

Cheers, buddy! ;)

[Continuum General] zombiehack:
So my Continuum decided to go down in a blaze of WTFery, and I decided to just wipe and reinstall everything. Bad move, because now I've been poking at this for 2 days now, and have downloaded a bevy of files to try to fix it. My goal originally was to move up to EG04, but I'll settle for Froyo and whatever the f**** works now!

As it stands now:

I've just flashed cwm_recovery_test4_adryn through Odin, and have the red update.zip on the SD card, when I try to do anything in recovery I get lots of can't mount.

Any help would be appreciated! I'm downgraded to my OG Droid on CM7 for the moment, but the battery is awful.
[Continuum General] roaddog665:
I assume you've already tried flashing a rom with the correct Pit file? There are others on here that know a whole lot more than me about memory blocks, mounting,partitions, etc..., but that's were I'd start. And I'd start with the stock ec09 rom and pit.

And did the phone fail after flashing something, or just during normal use?
[Continuum General] zombiehack:
I tried the PIT file with the EC07 ROM and it wouldn't work, but this one took! Thank you!

It started having a bunch of FCs while I was doing anything, seemed like a one of issue but I wanted to try the GB leak and I got greedy.

I hate wanting to mess with it more, but can you help with root on this too? I was going to use ciscogee's EC09 Stock Rooted+Deodex CWM package, but I don't know which CWM to flash and the link is down for the package.
[Continuum General] roaddog665:
EC07 was a little before my time here, but I think there was some issues with some pit files not working. Glad you got it up and running. The CWM you need is in the development forum in the [recovery] [EC09]. It's linked in the op. If the link is down there let me know, I THINK I have the zip saved on my laptop.

And since I've had to edit this post twice now, I'm going to stop giving you any advice! Been up all night with a sick kid, so I can't tell my head from my a$$ right now... Dont want to tell you something wrong! :D

[Continuum General] Jaggar345:
Here is what I did when I soft bricked and got out of it. First, I was able to get into download mode luckly but nothing would boot. I went to the continuum data base and grabed the Dl17 files and flashed them. The device booted and from there I was able to take OTA updates back to froyo. Try doing that. If you need any of the files I have them all and can send them to you. Let me know.
[Continuum General] zombiehack:
Roaddog665 got me up and running back on stock EC09, now I'm just working on getting CWM back and finding an EC09 ROM to flash.

So I used this recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1057072

http://www.imnuts.org/downloads/continuum/I400_CWM.tar.md5 and now I can't boot again, still getting the can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (file exists) error. I've looked online and it seems like it's related to LagFix recovery? I'm dead ended again. Any thoughts?
[Continuum General] roaddog665:
https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/I400_CWM.tar.tar?w=6ffeabd4

Here is the recovery I have for ec09.

I'd Odin the ec09 rom and pit, get it running and then Odin this file... Should get you set up.

Sent from my SCH-I400
[Continuum General] Jaggar345:
Make sure you use the cyan recovery and not the red one, the cyan one doesnt have any issues. The red one might be causing the file error issue. It looks like the cyan link is dead but luckly I think I might have it. Pm me your email and I can send it to you because the forum doesnt allow me to attatch it. I know this recovery works because I use this one.

I went ahead and uploaded it for you.

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2xihCrRYu81aXVteWxreS0xX3c Grab it from hereand flash it via odin. Hopefully this is the fix.

---------- Post added at 06:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 AM ----------

Flash it in the pit section.
[Continuum General] zombiehack:
I'm not sure I understand, do you mean put that CWM file in the PIT section in Odin, or put the PIT file I used to flash the odexed ROM in the PIT box and the CWM file in the PDA section?

In other news the ROM I flashed has root already, so that's one thing done! I would like to have CWM for backup but realistically I think I'm buying the Galaxy Nexus soon(ish), so I don't know that it would be necessary. The flashing with the PIT file and the EC09 ROM worked to get me back up and running, so thanks everybody that helped!

Roaddog665, thank you, and now I have to watch the WWE Attitude era DVD to get Road Dogg Jessie James and Billy Gunn's promo out of my head! "Laaaaadies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages! D-Generation X proudly brings to you..."
[Continuum General] Jaggar345:
Hold on I'm trying to remember where you usually flash a recovery in odin I haven't changed mine in a really long time. I believe it's the pda section not the pit section don't quote me on it. I would just flash that recovery to your device as its the most stable one and I know it works because I'm running it. When I get home I can check on that for you and I will repost it so. Just hold off and I will post back.
