Hi everybody,

sorry for posting here but i'm too newb to post on django topic. I need 10 messages.

I'm on Django X1.1 12OC.

(same prob on NOOC).

Here is my problem, when i want to call someone, my screen goes black and no way to stop the call or use the phone to find something during the call... It stays black :(

Am i the only one ?

Before flash, i made full wipe...

Hi, iam new to Sony but did have htc wildfire I've rooted and overclocked, iam about to root Sony Xperia mini but I've noticed someone say theres 2 different methods depending on your bootloader I've done that *# code and checked it says yes so what iam wondering and wanting to find out is how to check the bootloader is locked or unlocked, iam on .62 software iam looking to downgrade, root then update, any help would be appreciated thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Connect it to flashtool and look at the Bootloader Status: ROOTED or ROOTABLE. ROOTED means the bootloader is unlocked ;)

Or you type *#*#7378423#*#* and go to service info -> configuration -> rooting status:

bootloader unlocked: yes [obviously it's unlocked :p ]

bootloader unlock allowed: yes [unlockable]

bootloader unlock allowed: no [not unlockable, only with a paid method]
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bonkers007:
Ok thank you, iam sure its locked and with *# I get yes so that means its unlockable, all I wanna do is delete standard apps that come on phone. So should I use and follow your method for locked bootloader? Do I just flash straight over the .62, thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bonkers007:
Sorry also where u say

MAKE SURE PC COMPANION OR SONY UPDATE SERVICE ISN'T RUNNING IN BACKGROUND WHILE YOU ARE FLASHING!!! DON'T USE THIS METHOD IF YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED, OTHERWISE YOUR DEVICE WILL BRICK!! (Unlocked bootloader can't do updates over the air, but flashing won't destroy your phone on unlocked bootloader!)

Is that on pc? Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Yes this is on PC :)

Yes just follow the guide to root it and afterwards you can delete all unwanted apps :good:

Hello, I have some questions, and need some advice and help - Thank You

Firstly, i am new to android, and recently got a new phone, running ICS. However im having some problems.

My Phone has 1gb RAM

I haven't installed much, and I have Disabled most of the pre installed rubbish.

Yet, it always says, 490MB USED RAM? Why is this? I even calculated the stuff i had running and it was around 290-310mb MAX, So why is so much RAM Being used? ( This is after I have installed and killed apps, i installed Advance Task Killer and Task Manager)

Secondly, Hard Drive space is no issue, i have 1.9gb free internet and USB sotre is i think around 8gb, when installing apps, Do You recommended to move them USB Storage or keep them in internal ( if i put them in USB Storage is there a chance of them being/working slower.

and Finally the biggest and main problem, How do i stop my phone from Sleeping? Its driving me crazy! After a while (when i am not using it) the phone goes into sleep mode, when i want to use it i cant, wake it up from my buttons, i have to use the power button right at the top, is there a way to alter this?

Thank You

I was taking a look at iFixIt's teardown of the Kindle Fire HD and was wondering if it was possible in any way to add additional memory to the inside of the kindle fire. It's pretty cramped space but not understanding the logistics myself I am not sure what would be necessary to do such a thing and whether it would require much space. Thought a discussion on it though might be interesting.

Increased Storage Kindle Fire HD 7"

Great Question!

The Kindle Fire HD 7" is a sealed unit, although our team has been able to open

the Kindle Fire HD. The upgrade is difficult and has found to not be cost

effective. We are working on a USB Driver which will allow you to add external

storage through the USB Port on the Kindle. Until we (or someone else) are successful

this will have to be placed on the back burner.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbanghyung:
Thanks for the reply. External sounds great! That's too bad there isn't an internal option. But I can imagine that could get be complicated.

I'm familiar with electronics and soldering and have modded other things in the past. Any resources you could point me to that could help me understand a little more hardware wise in this thing?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prokennexusa:
Kindle 7" HD Hardware

So far nothing that we are aware of, although we will be offering some hardware info

and videos within the next 6 months. There is a plastic tool that allows the frame

to be pried open, I just can not remember where we got it. This is how we opened

the Kindle Fire HD 7". Once you are inside, you can replace the internal SD Card

but it is a lot of work, just FYI.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbanghyung:
tools

Here is the tool -> ifixit .com /Tools/Plastic-Opening-Tools/IF145-000

Sounds promising. I'll investigate further. Wonder what type of sdcard. Does it need to be desoldered off? Also, what is the max size it will take? Some questions to answer before jumping into this one.

If I can answer these questions and it is feasible, I'll make a video on how to do it for others. (After I get mine working of course :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prokennexusa:
Upgrade Internal Storage

That is the tool! So you have one, great. First flip over the

Kindle HD on a towel or something else to protect the LCD.

The back will be exposed, now pry the speaker grill off starting

at the Right Hand Side (carefully). The grill will pop off the Kindle.

This may expose enough to get the job done otherwise, flip the

Kindle exposing the LCD Screen. Carefully, Very carefully

pry open the Kindle (using the tool) starting on the Left Side

where there is no inputs. Slowly prying to the top, then the

Right Side, finally to the bottom. The Kindle top will begin

to lift off the frame. Once you are open, the rest will be

obvious. The motherboard was build by Texas Instruments

and is basted on the OMAP4460. You can take a peek at

the technical documentation here: http://www.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12843&contentId=53243

The core operating system is ICS 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich)

if you are on software version 7.2.3. Having said all this you

can install up to 32 GB guaranteed, maybe 64 GB (OMAP4460

Chipset supports 64 GB).

Just what I want!

This is just what I want to be able to do on my Kindle Fire HD 7" so I can play videos stored on an external 64gb flash drive via an OTG cable. Will your solution require rooting the Kindle? I don't have any Android devices so this is all a bit of a mystery to me but I'm a fast learner!

I was trying to find a solution using something like "Stickmount" or "Nexus Media Importer" (or a Kindle version if available) which I understand doesn't require rooting but as I don't have any other Android devices, I can't even buy the Nexus one to try it. (I've seen the instructions on other threads here to install the Google Play app. Does the Kindle have to be rooted to use Google Play?)

Apologies for all the questions!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prokennexusa:
Add Storage to Kindle Fire HD

skindlies,

Thank you for the questions, this is how we learn so never apologize for asking questions.

Yes, most of the storage options will require Root, so follow our tutorial link below, we

will get you Root on the Kindle. The application Stickmount was designed for the Nexus

7 and 10, it does not work on the Kindle or the Nexus 4. Nexus Media Importer allows you

to import and stream music, video, photos and documents from a USB flash drive or SD

card connected to your Nexus 7 & 10, Galaxy Nexus, Xoom or other Android 3.2+

devices with USB Host support. This application will not work on the Kindle since

no one has designed a USB Host Device for the Kindle Fire HD. The potential options

in the future will be a USB Adapter or NAS Client (Network Attached Storage), no

one has designed these options as of yet. We are working on a Universal NAS

Client Software, we should have this available to the public in about 2 months.

Finally, yes, the Kindle does need to be Rooted to install Google Play. Just

follow our tutorial below. If you get stuck, we offer free unlimited support

through the XDA Threads and through email.

mrkhigh,

Actually my Kindle 8.9" has a SD Card socket and I just upgraded the SD Card to 64GB. So our

office Kindle HD 8.9" has 64GB of storage. What made it challenging was Mirroring the boot

partitions so the Kindle would boot. This is how we installed a Beta Copy of Jelly Bean, do

not get excited, it was terrible, very unstable and not reasonable for public use. We are

about 4 to 6 months away from a custom ROM.

SD Card Upgarde Amazon Kindle 8.9"

enricong,

Let me tell you something about Amazon: One series of 8.9" may have an SD Card slot, the next has the

SD Card soldered to the board, the next has an SD Card that is sealed with Black Epoxy with no chance to

removal. So, I can not guarantee anything. Remember Amazon built these with the thought they would

never be opened just like the Nexus 7 and 10. Just open it, what do you have to loose?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prokennexusa:
Kindle Fire Storage Upgrade

bbanghyung,

Very interesting, they have placed a shield over the chip in a effort to keep prying hands away from upgraded!

Even if there is a socket below the shield, it is not worth taking a chance with overheating the SD Card while

uncovering the SD Chip. There is enough space for a socket but it is clear, these devices are non serviceable.

The first 8.9" series has a socket, no cover. I'll bet the latest 8.9" has a cover over the socket. This explains

why Amazon replaces all the bad units when the are sent back to Amazon for repair - they were not designed

to be serviced, period.

This might help progress

Hi guys,

I am also interested in developing this, I think I may give it a go on my own, but help is always good!

Here are some basics I have so far:

The original chip could be replaced by the equivalent: KLMBG4GEAC-B001 which is a 32gb version of the same 8gb chip

This could be soldered but since the chip looks like this -->(link missing because of xda rules), it may be hard to hit that many solder joints.

As a different approach we could get standard microsd slot for about $4 and then use a emmc reader like this (link missing because of xda rules), get the chip we need for $34 @ (link missing because of xda rules)or equivalent (or tell samsung we are doing development and they'll just ship us one for free, thats what we do at work). Solder the chip to the reader, plug the reader into the sd card and solder 4 wires from the reader to the sd card expansion slot on the OMAP4460. Thoughts? :D

Sorry for the link weirdness xda won't let me post them since I am a new user. PM me for info or illl post 6 more times and edit this.
