[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chriszo:
I remember that there was another way to root the stock rom with a little windows batch file that works like a little restore file for the phone.

You can find the link in this forum or here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

For this tool you just need one of the supported firmwares, then you start it and choose your option for the device like 1 for "normal".

The phone will ask you to restore the data that appears on the touchscreen. If it works the batch file will show you the result, otherwise the programm will run "forever". And of course it doesnt work with my device, but what is such wrong the original stock? Does it also has to do with the bootloader??? Or do I just have the wrong firmware (6.1.A.2.55) ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Tread3r:
I am using Windows 7 and I have used flashtool. I believe the drivers are correct because,as you said, the blue LED does show and stay while I fastboot my phone. Same goes for the green LED when I go to flashboot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Tread3r:
I have rooted my phone. But since I factory reset it, I unrooted it to start fresh. Everything on my phone is stock again because I want to eliminate any variables that would otherwise mess up the bootloader unlocking process. which I still have yet to achieve :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
First, unlock your bl. Then root. I done that on my old Arc S and it works great.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chriszo:
@ Tread3r:

Yes the drivers are installed correctly, because the phone starts into fastboot and flashboot with each the right light.

Thats the great problem with our devices. I did it nearly the same way and Ive got a similar problem, as the first answers describe in this post. Actual the original stock rom is installed on my Sony and all works correctly, but its just a short-term workaround ;)

The bootloader unlockind process still end in an error message and that is my problem.

@ Vatih:

Nice try, but this is our problem... :/

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

I cant believe it myself, but the alternative way works, althought I cant read anythink in the tool because of the language...

I've got the superuser app and root permissions and all works.

This link helped me: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39498268

It's the tool for the "new" firmware, .55, the latest from sony.

Hope, its also succesfully with your devices ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chriszo:
I solved our problem. My bootloader is now open :D

I did it with the unlock, flashtool tool of this forum that helps you to open the bootloader and flash kernels and roms.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2087337

Seems like just the code was wrong.

It worked with the first try :D

But be careful, although its just the bootloader, all data will be deleted. My phone is empty again :/ Of course I've got some backups...

[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Search for the thread "rollback to v10h...", something like that, jump to post #7, remember, those .dz files are euro_open, after flash you'll need to re-flash to your original version. Follow the instructions carefully and you should not have problems. Good luck.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] nemesishaven:
This might be causing some issues: the Wind Mobile 4x's model number is P880g. All other 4x are P880. No one has successfully flashed a P880 rom onto a P880g.

Go ahead and follow RuedasLocas's advice, but you can ONLY use Wind Mobile dz or kdz (Technically you could use a Videotron one, but I don't know why you'd want to).

Can't help you with CWM/rooting, cause I haven't bothered to root my P880g.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmkozak:
Frequently, after fully charging, I unplug charger, and N4 still shows "charging 100%". Rebooting solves the problem, but any ideas of a better cure? I only remember this happening after 4.2.2. Is this a known issue that I've missed? Don't have a lot of apps, so I'm not sure if it could be an app. I haven't added any apps before this started. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravitysandwich:
Seems like a bug. Try custom roms and kernels. If this isn't fixed flash the Google images and rma it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
How about we try a less extreme method and just factory reset the thing first?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmkozak:
Thanks. Would you know if the reset will get me back to 4.2.1, or if 4.2.2 is "embedded" as my OS?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMNein:
A factory reset/wipe data just wipes YOUR DATA, and reverts back to the base installation, which in your case will be 4.2.2
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzhexuan:
Just since yesterday, my phone has consumed battery really fast.. usually i would have only finish one set of battery in a day, but i'm experiencing battery drainage of like ~30% in 1.5hours, and that's even without using my phone (sleep mode).. my phone seems to heat up very easily, and i could feel my phone's heat most of the time in my pocket..

i dont think it's the battery's problem as i have tried with my spare battery, and both battery displayed the same problem.. so it seems that the problem might lies in my phone..

Also, i have noticed that recently my phone takes quite a long time to respond to certain commands, like when i tapped my phone with the NFC tag to bring out the media player, it takes like 10mins later to automatically play the song (prior to this problem, almost immediately)

i also read up about the Sudden Death issue in SGS3, and i'm afraid that this might be the pre-bricked syndrome, and i would like to backup my data and apps.. does anyone know of a good and reliable app for backup?

*i didnt root my phone or flashing any roms

Sv: [Q] Battery draining issue

Sounds like you got some pretty nasty wakelocks, use BetterBatteryStats and try to locate the issue. Or something is wrong with the set-up of your phone. Check and recheck!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
without root it will be difficult to (1) find the battery drainer and (2) backup data.

should you decide to root you could use BetterBatteryStats as mentioned and for backups (1) Titanium Backup (Apps & data) and (2) a CWM nandroid (full phone backup with anything on it).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewilley:
I have got exactly the same problems as you, it started a few days ago so I'm guessing some app update has screwed something. The symptoms I'm seeing are:

Battery drains from 100% to flat in about 4 hours without any phone use and while screen is off (normally lasts easily 24 hours).

Phone is warm to the touch (not hot, but warm) even when idle.

Long delays in processing Bluetooth button presses through to my audio app (~45 seconds for PowerAmp to respond), and also similar with my three-button cabled headset button presses.

15-30 second delays in updating widget icons on homepages (e.g. wi-fi on/off icon status changing, NFC Task Launcher's 'last used' wording on the widget, etc).

Delays in clock updating (the system clock in the upper-right of info bar).

Battery info for Android System shows the "Stay awake" time is almost as long as the current "phone on battery" time. So something seems to be wakelocking and stopping it going to sleep properly.

I'm going to check more now to see if I can find the culprit, but if anyone knows anything about this, please could they post here too? Thanks.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
One clue for some identical posts may be an app not sourced from the market is in fact a trojan .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewilley:
It's always possible, but I doubt it. I'm pretty careful about the source of what I install and check that apps are the genuine item rather than trojan copies. I do install some betas from known xda developers, but I trust them fully. Nothing new was installed around the time when this started anyway.

Attached wakelock info is for the last 3 hours since phone was charged. I'm aware of a possible DHCP-searching issue with the wlan_rx_wake process, but this problem occurs just as badly with wi-fi turned off too - and as I said, this battery drain issue has only been happening for a few days.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewilley:
I wonder what we all have in common then, as it sounds like whatever happened hit us all at around the same time? I'm guessing it's being caused by an app update, I'll see if I can list what has updated on my phone in the last 7 days.

Andre
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewilley:
OK, I just checked what apps updated themselves during this time period (from 16 March onward, checked using Quick System Info Pro) and they are as follows:

22 March: BBC News, Bubble Blast, Facebook, NFC Task Launcher*, Ustream, CurrentWidget, Angry Birds (Space), AndChat

23 March: Samsung Account*, SCloudStarter, HD Widgets

24 March: Adobe Reader, Compass, Whats App, Flipboard*, Titanium Backup, Nobel Dialer, Angry Birds (Star Wars), Angry Birds (Seasons), PowerAmp

25 March: Google+*, FourSquare

Mostly fairly common apps, but maybe there's something in there that might help?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashmont:
I am glad I'm not the only one - my apps in red. I first noticed this problem on Saturday 23rd and it's driving me nuts. I'm only getting 5 hours of use out of the phone because something is preventing it from going into deep sleep. In addition to the phone getting warm as others have said, I have also noticed some other issues:

sms messages take ages to send

clicking the keyboard switcher in the notifications takes ages to show list

clicking refresh on weather widget takes ages before gps icon appears and weather info hardly ever updates. However if you click on the weather widget and open up the full screen it refreshes quickly.

Clicking the software update button to check for firmware updates takes ages to show the popup.

sometimes the screen doesn't turn on instantly on pressing the power button

most other things are performing at normal speed

I have tried various things but still haven't nailed the problem. I used BBS to see what was causing the wakelocks and it had Google+ AlarmManager and LocationServices at the top. I disabled both of these and it helped a bit, but after doing this BBS had a list of partial wakelocks which didn't add up to the total time the phone was awake. I tried uninstalling Facebook and BBC News and that didn't really make much difference.

UPDATE - just uninstalled HD Widgets and keyboard select popup,weather update, software update are now instant again. Maybe this is the problem with battery drain too. I didn't try that before because I'm not actually using any of the widgets so I'll see how it goes...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashmont:
Solved by uninstalling HD Widgets

Seems to have done the trick. Spends much more time in deep sleep now and gpsd is now top of the list on the Battery usage whereas before it was Google+. Hopefully HD Widgets will release an update soon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewilley:
Great news. I've just removed HD Widgets from my phone too (I've used Beautiful Widgets for some time now so it was a waste of space anyway) and certainly the responsiveness of widgets is much faster, and headset button controls are working instantly again. Battery life I'll know in the morning, as with car Bluetooth controls, but it's certainly looking promising so far.

Andre
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anboni:
I believe removing HD Widgets did the trick. First I uninstalled all apps that I didn't need or hadn't used in a while. Secondly I tried to uninstalling all Samsung apps, but as I am not rooted, no success. Sammy apps was my prime suspect as they had just updated. None of it changed the battery drain. I also had battery drain of about 20-25% per hour without phone usage.

It was HD Widgets that was causing problems, uninstalling helped. Afterwards, I can now see the battery curve steepness flattened quite dramatically afterwards. The awake process bar in the battery explanation is no longer solid. The phone made it through the night without any problems.

Thank you guys, much appreciated :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk0lm4n:
:good: and world is safe again :)

everything back to normal
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewilley:
HD Widgets have just released version 3.9.1 according to Google Play, which is trying to address the battery drain issue. If anyone here has not yet uninstalled the app, could they try this update first and see if that resolves the problem as the devs are looking for confirmation?

(I can confirm that the March 23 update to HD Widgets was definitely the killer by the way - after I removed it last night, my phone had only dropped to 90% battery this morning after 7 hours asleep, and responsiveness and control buttons are all back to normal)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
Your brain is going in the right direction.

You need to be rooted and have a custom recovery installed, usually twrp is recommended
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Its like a regular ROM but it will flash a base ROM from the dev them Tue aroma installer basically flashed all the options you added. Its a build you own ROM deal and works well for multi carrier ROMs and dev who want to give people more choice and avoid requests to save them some haadaches.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the_summer:
Hi,

I am trying to apply the preempt_rt patches[2] in order to test the realtime performance of native code on an android device in a study project. The device I have for testing is the Galaxy Nexus.

People here seem to have managed to do that with a Xoom[1].

My starting point was the kernel of the current official (4.2.2) Android release (android-omap-tuna-3.0-jb-mr1.1). According to the version string it is based on linux 3.0.31, so I tried to patch it with the corresponding rt-patchset. Except for a few rejects that went fine. Most of them I could get fixed manually.

My problem atm is that there seem to be quite some backports from newer (3.3/3.4?) kernels, especially for the file "include/linux/plist.h" and "kernel/rtmutex.c" which change some function-declarations. Today I managed to compile the kernel with the "CONFIG_PREEMPT_BASIC" option set, but when I try to boot the phone it gets stuck during the Google-bootscreen. It does not show up as an adb device, so I can't get any output from the device.

For me the question is, how much of the Kernel is actually still 3.0.31, maybe it would be more suitable to use the rt_patches for more recent Linux-kernels?

I was also thinking about trying to patch the kernel the GNex was released with, because this one may be closer to the original Linux kernel (I checked, plist.h and rtmutex.c are not the original ones as well)?

Maybe someone else has a better idea what to test, because I am not overly familiar with all the different subbranches and development trees of Android yet. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Jan

PS: I would have posted this in the development section, but wasn't permitted to. Maybe a mod could move it?
