[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Kirandev:
I do know there are many debates around the Web about whether to use mobile protective or not.

Personally I love my TX without case.

What do you guys think about xperia's build design when it comes to drop resistant and the quality.

I apologize if this thread should have been posted under Q&A thread. Please move if need to be.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Arcano:
I have a T, not a TX, and I don't use any kind of case. I don't like phone cases as a general rule.

I'm usually careful with my devices, so I've never needed one (touching wood...).

The T (and I suppose the TX) seem pretty solid; mine is 5 months old and looks like new.

I'm sorry, I don't understand why you posted that link. I wasn't asking a question, was just trying to have a discussion with the users.

hmm,

is this a question

"What do you guys think about xperia's build design when it comes to drop resistant and the quality"

Or is this a question

"Do you use a protective case for xperia"

hmm....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
I am using a case currently. It makes my T look less sexy because now it looks fat and has no curves (much like a fat lady :P). But yeah I dropped my phone from below chest height back-first onto a tiled floor and nothing happened. Soo build quality should be good.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curiousmike:
It defaults to 'interactive'.

While sitting at the settings screen, it's running at 1500MHz ( it has a minimum of 396 MHz.)

I would expect sitting at the settings screen, it would be 396MHz.

I tried 'Powersave', and that set the CPU to 396MHz at the settings screen.

But doing anything else on the device felt sluggish, like it wasn't ramping up the MHz based on load.

Is there an Intel Speedstep equivalent setting? i.e, scale the CPU speed based on CPU load?

Or is that what 'interactive' is doing and I'm reading it all wrong?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Re: In CM, how should Performance-&gt;Processor be set?

Both on demand and interactive scale based on CPU load. They just use different algorithms to decide what to set it to. I use the default interactive.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Surge1223:
I know there are a lot of posts on this topic but the solutions offered differ depending on the ROM and recovery used. I've read somethings about cwm blobs and so i tried the .nomedia method in the backup root folder but media server still uses 27% of my battery. If you were on say a stock, deodexed, rooted ROM, what general methods would you use to fix this? Also, between custom recovery, custom kernel, and choice of ROM which most likely contributes the most to media server battery drain? Sorry if theses are a lot of questions in one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pdkreitler:
I'm also having an issue with Mediaserver.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Surge1223:
Any devs or unix-familiar people with any suggestions/reference links or input? Or does it really happen for a lot of different reasons, in which case there'd be no easy general solutions other than trial and error?

Error - http://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/mobile/OeHaSW0zJ8U <-- Same as here.

I have the GSM GNex on EE in the UK, rooted with XenonHD and Franco kernel.

All my music is stored upon the Cloud, and I don't want to store it on my GNex because of space issues, as my collection is 8GB and growing, I don't want to worry about space on my phone. I can play music over WiFi and on my laptop, but experience the 'Music Playback Error' when streaming over 3G. I've played about with settings, cleared GMusic data and cache, changed roms and kernels and also my hosts file. I have read all of the forums committed to this error on the internet, but none finish in a solution to solve it completely.

Has anyone experienced this error, and have any advice on how to remedy it?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiddystorms:
I need some help. I want to make all of the pain go away and send this POS out the window of my vehicle. It has been a cause of so much frustration over the last year.

Most recently, I installed Santods excellent official ICS deodexed debloated ROM. I didn't notice the issue I'm having now before I installed that ROM, but I have since installed another ROM (Jellyblur) and my issue has not disappeared. It started when I was using my camera... i noticed a long delay after I impatiently hit a button while it was thinking. it shutdown. upon restarting, battery went from fully charged to maybe 20%. A couple pictures later and it shutdown again and upon restarting showed maybe 3%. It's not just the camera that causes it... GPS, browsing, calls etc. can all trigger this behavior. After showing a battery level of 3%, I plug it in and it is instantaneously at 65% or 72% etc., but never showing that its in need of a full recharge.

Is there a chance I screwed up something that "tells" the battery it's time to shutdown? Here are some logs from the most recent episode.

Like it was said you have a bad battery. Get a new one and all will be good again
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiddystorms:
Here's why I am still reluctant to believe it's the battery.

1. I was getting a full day of normal use out of it the day before I installed the new ROM.

2. After achieving a total drain of the battery, upon plugging back in , it shows the charge is already at + 50%.

disclaimer: I have no prior experience with owning a smart phone and dealing with batteries, so I have no idea how they are supposed to act. Limited experience flashing ROMS and no real knowledge of common problems that can occur when flashing etc. etc.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ang1dust:
2 Things to consider. The rezound battery is all that is available atm and it is rated at 1640mah vs our 1400 mah.

A new battery is usually not more than 20 dollars

If you are having these problems ensure you are following the suggested directions.

Install ICS Radios

4ext Recovery

Wipe all except sd card

install rom

I have returned to GB rom and i stay on the ICS Radios with 0 problems. So no matter what rom you install i would suggest the new ICS radios. I have installed the new radios in 3 other phones besides my own with 0 problems crossing ICS radio with GB ROM.

For the past few weeks I have been happily using PPC 2003 with no real problems. Yesterday I receieved a annoying spam sms text message.. I deleted the text and my phone suddendly crashed!! I tried soft resetting but no joy.. so I tried hard reset but to my horror the screen showed GSM ERROR in the bootloader (I was a bit worried).. I tried to restart teh GSM but it kept failing. I then tried the soft reset and the 'Windows Test only screen was displayed but the XDA model number and radio stack version were not. The Unit version of PPC 2003 was displayed however.. Anyway basically the xda did not an expensive brick I thought!!. I tried downloading the ROM again via SD card method but no joy.. I also tried installing an old ROM but still no joy.

Anyway I slept on the problem and decided to maybe do some drastic measures i.e the sodlering e.t.c After waking up the XDA was flat as a fart!! so i plugged it into the mains and to my suprise it worked!! not sure what I had reset by letting it go flat but it did the trick.

anyway I've seen other people with the similar problems.. hope this gives a bit of hope to you guys.

can anybody explain the problem though...i.e why it happened.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Question: are you in the target audience for high-end intelligence methods or in the target audience to have a completely new and evel exploits tested against you?

The fact that it was a spam makes me wonder: they may have tried something with the User Data Header which looks more obnoxious on a Nokia or so, and inadvertently crashed the Radio Stack on your box. If this is the case, the interesting question is whether this provides what called an 'arbitrary code' buffer overflow. If (big IF) so, one can hack our Modem parts remotely. If this is the case, the attacker would still need to hack the main processor from the modem part over a few serial lines. But this would be an interesting challenge, and when succeeded, one would get a major round of applause at a hacker convention.

Let's not all go nuts, but lets be aware of strange RSU crashes: Once is an accident, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] gdavies100:
The fact that I received a spam SMS (I believe) has no bearing on the problem I encountered. I seriously don't think that the text mesasage was the cause of the fault but just an incident that occured leading up to the fault.. I'm sure that somebody telling me I had won 10K and asking me to ring a £1.90 per min number didn't intensionally add code to the text to crash the xda.

As you said there seems to be a problem with the radio stack.. which could be related to opening a text or deleting it or something totally different.

For the records I'm using O2 v21 of the radio stack.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkinners:
half hour ago, it was ALL good.

15 or 20 mins ago when I was texting. suddenly the hardware buttons touch vibration refuse to work (volume rocker, long press power button, menu, back)

the vibration motor is 100% normal. I still have UI haptic feedback. like sidebar, dialer key press and all other UI haptic feedback all working fine.

Only the hardware button touch won't trigger vibration.

I tried to refresh the rom, kernel but still the same.

I know I could flash the stock rom and test but it would be a lot of effort. So I figure I'd ask here if anyone have this same problem before or have any idea if this

is hardware failure or just software problem?

I want to know if I need to sent my phone back to Samsung to get service.

Thanks in advance.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philmg:
well, I am using a win xp machine for fastboot. so I don't have the same issues. fastboot works fine, so that I use the normal fastboot process to flash the system and the recovery kernel.

I finally got it to work again by flashing the newest TWRP instead of CWM. It seems CWM does not yet work on the latest firmware.

I followed this guide for flashing TWRP with fastboot. This version actually also just asked me, if I want to root the device, I clicked yes and it was rooted. Perfect.

Hi, I installed CWM custom recovery, and took several backups. I wanted to check that the backups worked so I tried to restore them. This just made my phone not boot (it sticks at the second screen which says "Samsung GT-i5500". (I can recover from this by re-flashing the stock ROM, but this still leaves me with some useless backups.)

Is there some way I can try to debug to see where it is going wrong? I have tried to use ADB logcat (from the android SDK) but it doesnt report anything ("still waiting for device").

I dont get any errors reported during the backup or the restore.

What I used...

Odin 4.28

Custom recovery: ClockworkMod-Galaxy5-v0.5.tar (When it runs it reports that it is version v4.0.1.5)

Closed down Keis.

Leave Odin controls at defaults and just add the OPS file and the above file for 'one package'

When doing restore I have run, from the recovery menu: clear cache, data reset, clear dalvik cache.

and then select the restore option
