[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] droidlord4:
I had unlocked my bootloader and after rooting I flashed a custom X-MoD R7 rom. But now that I want to upgrade to another rom, I simply am not being able to boot into recovery mode. The led doesn't blink at all during phone start up and the boot into recovery mode option provided by X-MoD doesnt work as well. Please help.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Have you flashed the right kernel? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] droidlord4:
Yes I have. Got it with the rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mnishamk:
If you want to flash some other rom, try any other kernel supporting the new rom. Flash it and boot into its recovery. And then flash the rom.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
I'm not sure how many of you are using the stock OEM charger that comes with the Z. I''ve been using a generic 5v USB wall charger which I've used on many many phones for a while but a few nights ago I decided to use the Sony Z OEM charger (which comes in the box) and put my Z on charge over night.

In the morning I noticed, that the OEM charger only charged my Z about 5% extra over 7-8 hours while I was sleeping. However if I use any other USB charger, or connect it to my laptop or desktop PC, it charges very quick - I plugged it into my work PC this morning and it was full in less than an hour...

Anyone else out there having a similar experience? Its almost as if the stock OEM charger is underpowered, or faulty...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekygrl:
I would suggest you have a faulty charger as my OEM unit is very quick to charge from the wall.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovemyarc:
Anddd there is a catch. There is something I've noticed. If the phone gets hot, phone doesn't charge at all, even it's connected to the charger.

So while playing a game or browsing via 3G/Wifi, phone stops charging.

But while normal texting and stuff it keeps getting charged :)

In my opinion, Sony has done a great job for keeping the hardware safe at any cost.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
Actually I solved the problem today. I have a Nillkin hard case on my Z. Its an awesome case, but the design of it prevents me from inserting the Micro USB into the slot 100%, so it was probably popping out during the night..

I need to find a slim fit Micro USB cable now... All the ones in my house are too big! Alternatively I will have to mod the case.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad331:
As you all know, S4 I9500 comes with a pair of 4 cores that can't run at the same time (as of now). When not on heavy duty, the four A7 1.2GHz cores are used, and that can sometimes be too slow for me. So I am using SetCPU to lock the frequency to 1.6GHz, but SetCPU hasn't been updated/optimized for the S4, as it only identifies the four A15 1.6GHz cores. Therefore I do not know what exactly it is doing, is it overriding Samsung's way of switching between CPU sets, or is it working at all? Any suggestions on tweaking the I9500 CPU? Please tell me if you know any CPU apps compatible with it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdogg:
Locking the A15 chips on all the time would be a mistake. They use more power than the A7 cores, so battery would take a punch! I feel they handel the switch over pretty well, although CPUspy tells me that i've only used 1.6ghz for a few seconds over the course of a day. Although i've not run games or anything intensive.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad331:
Thank you for your reply. My point is that we are relatively oblivious about what's going on with the cores since no software is specifically compatible with monitoring/configuring the chipset. The thing is, a lot of apps run very laggy and have low frame rates on S4, force GPU rendering fixes most of the problem, but the crackyness of flipping through eBook reader apps are unbearable. I hope in the future there will be apps/roms that can take control of this CPU with great potential.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
There are no compatibility issues, all CPU related apps work perfectly.

I've made topics explaining this over a month ago before the phone was even released. Everything beyond 600MHz are the big cores, everything at and below are the little ones. The little ones are mapped at a virtual frequency at half of the real clock, so 600 means 1200.

There's nothing more to it than that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad331:
OMG thank you! That was very helpful
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
like andreilux said what you have to do is set the minimum frequency above 600(if you still need it ) so that a15 cores will be on all the time. If in case you switch on the a15 cores all the time do let us know about the avg battery drain.

[General Questions and Answers] SilverSnack:
Hey guys, Im new to this site and pretty new to the Android operating system. I just got myself a Gionee E3, Dont say it doesn't exist or anything because its not on the website. Its not released yet in many places and Im in China where Im pretty sure they are moving the stock first. There is a video of it on youtube, just search "Gionee E3". Basically, its an amazing phone for the price you pay for in hardware specs (I think) but the problem is the Gionee stuff that comes with it. Im unable to do anything related to google accounts much less download from the Play Store. The current version is 4.2.1 and I've read that other people with Gionee issues in the past have had to root their phone and install custom firmwares and all that just to get google play store working. Now, Im ok with that, just that there aren't any instructions for this particular phone out yet, in the mean time, anyone know of any other methods I can try? Please?? :(

[General Questions and Answers] albinkc:
Five simple steps:

Step 1: Root your phone using One-Click root or any other free software

Step 2: Install Root explorer apk from apkmania. Note: Place the apk file on your sd card. If you have a file manager, use it to open the apk. If you don't have a file manager, Open the web browser and type: file:///sdcard/ (name of the apk file).apk

Step 3: Install System Tuner pro apk. This allows you to uninstall all the crappy apps you don't need.

Step 4: Install google play store apk. Available on-line.This app allows you to officially download all the apps.

Step 5: Go out and Explore. :good:

About Gionee Elife E3

I'll try my best to help you :-

About Battery Life on Gionee E3 - Decent Battery , Nothing to worry lasts one day​

Gionee Elife E3 Pro's & Con's -

​

:good: Pros -

Display is very bright , vivid , and crisp

Build Quality

Quad Core Chipset

Touch Responce

Signal's Were Awesome

Authentic Chinese Phone (No Rebranding like micromax does)

Battery is Decent , Not too much and not too low

Black Levels are Awesome

Graphics on Games Look Awesome...!!

Can Be Rooted Now..!

Cons -

1. Gaming Performance - This is the most frustrating thing that i found out as this mobile scores awesome on benchmarks .

I was facing many issues playing even the casual games like fruit ninja . I don't know what was causing this issue but the game was lagging . But on the other side a game like Dead Trigger Played awesomely..!

Also i was facing a lil bit of frame drops in games like

Subway Surfures

Temple Run 1 & 2

Asphalt 7

But on the other side Front line Commando Played Awesomely

I am still a little bit confused and thinking what is causing these issues. So i installed nova launcher , rooted my phone , deleted all the useless crap that gionee puts on this phone , and installed some task killers and an app named trickster mod (mobile needs to be rooted)

and did some tweakings in the app trickster mod and then the games that i mentioned played awesomely but for the time when the application trickster mod is running and each time u lock and unlock the phone u will need to launch this app to regain the access to the awesome performance.

2. No custom roms available yet

3. Heating issue near the camera when playing high end games

4. Camera Crashes Sometimes (Rare Times)

5. Screen Blacking Out and To do a Battery Pull (Rare)

That's pretty much u will need to know before buying this device. :)

Overall a good device ,

Some things Gionee needs to fix like Making their UI more simplistic and stock

Increasing the gaming performance by changing some software of the phone in their further updates

Removing the Pre-Loaded Crapware

Thanks & Regards

Hi guys,

It's me again with a noob question I jus wanna upgrade my One S (C2) to jellybean but I ve read reviews that JB was with bugs and beats audio is gone after update and camera performance is not so good..... Is it so? And is there any procedure to backup my Rom and revert back to my ICS which I am very much satisfied with :)

Hellooooooo can anyone reply me plssssssssssssssssssss
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
Make a backup in twrp, then flash a custom JB rom. Don't like it, just restore backup.

Remember to always flash the boot.img in fastboot (for roms AND backups.)

[HTC One S] revosa:
Thanks a lot but will I get my beats audio even after JB update
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
Yeah, of course...where you hear that?

HTC_One_S | S-OFF | ViperOneS_2.2.0 | Black-Blue_Sense_Theme | ElementalX_4.2
[HTC One S] NQNH:
maybe he is talking about an aosp rom.

upgrading his phone to jellybean , but not the official one, maye cm10.1 or sth like that.

this would be the reason for no beats audio and bad camera performance.

but there are enough sound packages (awesome beats, ac!d audio mod) which brings you your beats drivers back.

for the bad camera there is no solution because of lack of image sense drivers for aosp roms.

otherwise there are official jb roms too, which has sense, beats and the original camera.

try the official ruu, or sense custom roms like viper, trickdroid...
[HTC One S] revosa:
Actually my friend updated his one s with JB stock and lost his Beats audio while playing music. So even am feared of losing it:(

you should use the odexed version, because the stock rom is odex.

oh ok but sorry for asking such noob questions but can u tell me how to do a nandroid backup(I ve never done before) or is there any step by step process here in our forum to guide me to backup and recover my Stock Roms????? Please dont hesitate am sorry :):):)
[HTC One S] NQNH:
:D you dont have to apologize.

okay, here is the way to go... (the easiest simpliest way is on the bottom :P)

I hope you know how to boot your phone into the bootloader (disable fastboot in power settings, turn off phone, and press volume down und power button at the same time and keep it press till your bootloader appears)

okay... I think you have a locked bootloader right?

Unlock it via htc.dev, select "other supported phones" and follow the step by step instructions.

http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader

if you are unlocked I strongly recommend you to s-off your device, it makes many things easier for you (flashing etc.)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155135

take enough time for reading yourself through the guides, maybe it looks difficult but if you follow every step carefully the whole procedure (unlock + s-off) should take ~20-30min.

after s-offing your device you have to flash a custom recovery.

http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/100

take the img for the s3 variant.

place this img in your adb folder

open the command line and type in

"fastboot flash recovery [recoveryname].img" (you have to be in your bootloader menu and in "fastboot USB" mode.

you get this when you press the power button if the blue "HBOOT" is selected.

now you have custom recovery

boot your phone to your recovery (turn off, press powerbutton+volume down, navigate with your volume buttons to recovery and press power)

then go to "backup" and the rest is self-explaining :)

if this whole procedure is to risky for you ...

... you can simply install an app which shows you the battery in percentage in your status bar ololol
