[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] r0bot:
I know our Xperia S JB updates are due around April, but how likely is it that Sony will eventual release an alpha ROM like they did recently for the Xperia T? This move seems to help mainly the custom ROM communities as the drivers are available for the devs to work with.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I'd say 30% change, at max.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xyrer:
Well, cm10 for xperia s works really well, I have paranoid android running and it's awesome, lacking 1080p video recording and fm radio, both things I never used before anyway, apart from that there's a couple of bugs, hdmi is spotty and I've had 1 random reboot in more than a week, fairly acceptable.

So, if you want jellybean for Xperia S while you wait for the official rom, you may as well go with the freexperia cm10, or paranoid android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pauler1:
I'd Like to begin by apologizing for making a post about something that may already have been addressed but I'm in a bit of a jam and I hope someone can help me as soon as possible. Yesterday my old phone died and I had to get a new one right away for some club/business meetings I have so i picked up a used g2x on craigslist (Stupid Mistake). The phone looked fine and I tested the speaker i didn't actually try to make a call (Stupid Mistake #2). So when I try to make a call the phone makes this weird "Ticking"(Only way i can describe it) sound and I can't make or receive a call the call connects but all i can hear is the weird ticking. It does this on both T Mobile and over Google voice. Video sound and music are fine through both the speaker and head phone jack. The phone was rooted running ICS 4.0.4 EaglesBlood ROM and is on CWM recovery. I'm new to this phone as my old phone was a Samsung vibrant so any help with this would be much appreciated as I assume there's no way to "Odin back to stock" for this phone and I'm hoping this isn't hardware related and that someone can help me out. I'd try to figure this out for myself but im hurrying to try to contact people through google voice so I'm on a bit of a time crunch. Thanks In advance for any assistance. It is much appreciated.

Sounds like a baseband problem. If you're new to the phone, this would be the least complicated method: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sibbor.getril&hl=en.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pauler1:
I tried that app it said my ril/baseband didnt match (v21e ril / M6600A-SCAUNTZ baseband) it changed my ril to LG-P999-V21y but that didn't solve the problem. Thanks for the help though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] russell956956:
What ROM are you running and what baseband does it have?(give me the date, ex. July 2012, etc.)

But from what i can see with what you provided, you just have to flash the baseband fix by Owain, just search around in the development forum and you should find it. If not ill post a link.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pauler1:
The Rom is EBloodMod build 5

Baseband is M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1 [Mar 11 2012 10:00:00]MP:

Download the program from: WindowsAndroid

Run as administrator and install the program.

Install Gapps:

1. Download gapps for ICS HERE.

2. Unzip the gapps.

3. Find the system folder that was unzipped, then go into the apps folder. Copy all of the apks

4. Go to C:\SocketeQ\windowsandroid_root\system\apps

5. Paste all of the apks in that directory.

6. Restart Windowsandroid

7. Enjoy gapps.

Note: You will now be able to add a Google account and get into Google Play but there is not really anything in the Play Store at this time.

Note #2: There have been reports that, this may not work on AMD processors. Intel seem to work just fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] knoxploration:
Very cool. Like you say, little you can do with it so far and very regular crashes even just using Play Store and built-in apps, but definitely one to keep an eye on.

Are you running it as an administrator? If so try removing the program from Add or Remove programs. Then going to your C: drive and delete the file SocketeQ. Re install the program, once it is installed open WindowsAndroid first. Then close it and install the Gapps after running it one time. See if that helps anything.

I can replicate all of those problems on my intel machine. I would also add that it requires a fairly large resolution to run in tablet mode, and there are no home row buttons available in the phone mode.

Looking forward to seeing this work, god knows I have spent enough money in the play store, now that I don't have a android device as a main device, it would be nice to get my moneys worth.

There is a fix to this??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] uhsarp:
I had the same problem. The stock browser seems to be clueless about where to store. I had to circumvent by downloading ES file explorer which also installs a download manager. Any download in the browser can be intercepted by this solving the problem.

Also, How can I root this? I've been breaking my head over it. Someone more knowledgeable.. please help!!!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sg_sam:
Hello Champs.. I am first time user to this forum so pls excuse any idiot questions if it may seem.

I tried to go through threads to find answers but got completely confused, so though to put my question in simple words here.

I have Desire HD running task killer and Juice defender ultimate with extreme power saving option set and also optimized settings but still my phone don't last more than a day of normal usage. I just check emails, read news and call.. I do not play games and use any CPU intensive app. Phone is not rooted and running 2.3.5v of android

One of my friends told me after flashing ROM, battery power is improved by 40% in case of his tablet, so I am wondering if there is any suggestion for me to use for my Desire HD mobile. I have tried all options at application and settings level to improve the battery life.

As I am not too techincal in this field, if someone could write me few high level steps from start to end to get better battery life ROM and / or jellybean on Desire HD, I'll try to find out low level details of those steps in this forum and root (and flash) my mobile.

My sole requirement is to get as much battery as possible and if possible, some latest android version (4.1 or 4.2) to avail the new features.

Also, would there be an option to take the snapshot of current mobile setup in case if rooting / flashing goes wrong, I could revert back to the current version without loosing settings / data.

Thanks for your help.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkid123:
two things, go to settings>about phone> battery

Or something like that. Take screenshots of your battery consumption, and the amount of time for each. Without that we can't know what's really causing your battery drain.

That said, a day of use will pretty much wind down your phone, the DHD has a very poor battery, decent sized screen, and most modern smartphones don't last terribly long anyways. However, you said you weren't using it too hard, so I'm not sure what it could be

As for juice defender, make sure that the intervals are set to no less than 15 minutes. 10 minutes pushing it. if you set it to 5 minutes, your phone will constantly be waking up from sleep (ultra battery saving mode), and constantly enabling and re-enabling radio. That'll cause more drain than it will save. At 15 you'll notice definitive increases, and at greater your battery will only get better.

Get rid of the task killer, or disable autotask killer and keep task killing to an absolute minimum. Never kill all your user apps at once. Kill only very large resource hogs (e.g. after playing a game, kill it). An autotask killer is very bad for your phone, and for your battery. Linux naturally tries to keep as many processes 'running' or cached in the background, using up a lot of your ram- it makes multitasking better, so in linux this is a good thing. With windows, it does the opposite, and if you run out of RAM you're screwed. A task killer will try to ruin that behavior, and in the end both performance and battery life will suck. It hurts battery life because after you kill that app, it'll just restart itself in the background- using more CPU therefore battery. Plus it also wakes your phone up from sleep when it needs it. I would only recommend a task killer for a phone with 512mb of RAM.

If it's an older battery, you could also have lost a lot of it's charge. I recommend installing battery monitor widget, and letting it run in the background. It'll estimate your mAH (battery capacity). If it's over 1,000, you're fine. If it's around 800, not bad, still doable. If it's at around 600, I would recommend going in for a replacement battery. I'm using an Anker 1500 (amazon), and I highly recommend it. Mugen 1600 is very good one, but it'll cost you a lot more money. I would not recommend an original HTC one.

finally, installing a custom ROM may or may not help battery life. With HTC Sense based ROMs, I've noticed a battery increase. In AOSP (unmodded, as google intended) gingerbread ROMs, you'll also notice a battery increase. With AOSP ICS, JB4.1.2 and 4.2.1 battery life is hit and miss, some ROMs will get you better battery, some will get you worse. You'll need to experiment around with it.

Also, yes you can backup everything after you install a custom recovery. I recommend looking up AAHK (advanced ace hack kit) on google and youtube, as well as rooting and S-OFF in general on youtube.
