Not rooted. Is this AT&T or Verizon?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipflop104:
Neither, it's from EE in the UK and is the i9505

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
unrooted, locked, Xperia Ion LT28at, ATT ICS (not sure of the latest version number, the update came just last week)

Last thursday i received the notice for an update from AT&T for my Ion. It was a ~3.8Mb file, and the phone seemed to go through the update process perfectly fine.

Friday i noticed the phone lasting an abnormally long time, though. The battery seemed to get a very noticeable bump in life between charging. No complaints, so i didn't look into it. After nearly 40 hours of not charging (and some fairly 'normal' use, a few calls, texts, some browsing, etc.) the phone was down around 35% and i charged it before bed. The 35% was what was surprising, as i'd often skip a day between charges without much trouble...its just the 2nd day i'd be hanging around 3%, not 35...

So it charged fine, no issues, left it on there for about 2 hours. checked it the next morning (it was not charging over night)/ Then i noticed what was going on. The phone would stay at 100% for nearly 10 hours? This is illustrated in the status section of settings, as well as through my battery widget thing, and it seems to line up with the battery icon in the notification bar as well. Also, its not like each percentage takes that long. After it finally breaches 100% down to 99%, the indicated battery level changes like it used to.

So it seems to be some pretty off in terms of scaling. I purposely drained the phone to see what was happening. As soon as the phone hits about 29% its over. No warnings, no anything. It just does its dead battery boot down. If i reboot before recharging...it gets through the boot process mostly, but shuts off within a few seconds of 'preparing internal storage'. Then it has to charge for a few minutes before i can boot it again, in which case its already reading 34+% in a matter of minutes.

I've read all the debates on battery status wiping on rooted devices, but none of the people doing that seemed to have this problem. Its usually a phone that will say 100% then drop to 60 or something as soon as the plug is removed. I did a few hours of research and couldn't find one example of what i'm having haha, but sorry if i missed something obvious.

I apologize for the length, just trying to be as specific as possible, and any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm up for anything as far as reflashing, rooting, whatever. I just figured i'd wait for all that until the JB update next month, rather than doing some of it twice. Has anyone come across anything close to this, though?

Thanks, and here is a screen shot of the battery status. Look how many hours it too to drop from 100 to 99...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
It's a OTA update bug. Update your phone with PC Companion or SUS.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
thanks man, thats what i figured.

I'll reflash it around lunch today and report back. should be fine, overall battery life has not changed at all. Still get 14 hours of regular use.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
So the only option i had through PC companion was a 'repair', as it was simply saying my phone was up to date otherwise.

Ran the repair, which reinstalled 6.1.0.111 AT&T ICS firmware...and it doesn't seem to have changed anything. Phone hasn't been charged in nearly 24 hours other than when it was plugged into my PC for the repair...and its held 100% for 50 minutes so far, which is definitely not accurate.

I'm downloading the newest version of flashtool now, going to go back to the original ICS version before this update...and see if that changes anything.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
EDIT: you can see the original quote in the post below.

recently got off the phone with AT&T about returning my refurbished Ion, which i ended up not needing. The new tech had listened to the recorded info i was given, and claimed it was inaccurate, and that there is no internal evidence of a mass returning of Ion's...This isn't really important, just didn't want to cloud up any future searches if someone happens to run into a similar battery bug.

to reiterate. Battery status was messed up, phone was turning off at ~30% posted battery level. tried flashing, rooting, etc. no luck. Was given a refurb'd ion, with instructions on what to do to return my bugged device. First thing was simply booting the phone without a sim card (and then doing a full factory reset and storage format coming after). the sim-less boot up wiped the bug. may be coincidence, may be not.

in either case, i've been fine ever since with the original Ion. So if you end up with a goofy battery status, the rooting and battery recalc thing didn't work for me...at least didn't do anything for multiple charge cycles...but it went away immediately with a simless boot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Parastie:
While it's great that she was able to help you, her description of the cause is a flat out lie. It doesn't make any sense for the chip to become corroded or that cleaning contacts would help if we could only remove our battery. This isn't the 1980's with leaking batteries and copper contacts. While it could be a chip issue, her reasoning is wrong.

I'd also like to point out that if this was as big of an issue as she claimed then I think tech websites would have picked up on it and reported.

I haven't seen anyone with the international versions reporting the issue, which leads me to think it's an at&t issue. Or at least that's my hope. We just have to wait and see.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
I should've emphasized a little more that the reason for the problem didn't sound all that accurate, but she was dead on with explaining the symptoms, which was enough for me...So i did take the warranty claim, as apposed to just messing with it more...

Agreed though, thats what i was getting at earlier...if the problem really is as bad as she said, it wouldn't stay so quiet in various forums. We would've definitely hear of it by now.

interestingly, i had no luck finding the OTA .111 update when i tried to returned the phone to stock for return. I could only find .111 through PC companion, even though the day before the OTA prompted me immediately...they might have pulled it down?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Parastie:
That's possible. I haven't been prompted for the update, but I'm sim unlocked and in Poland. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
So its been a weird week, smart phone wise, for sure...

Friday night i got the replacement Ion in the mail from AT&T. I didn't mess with anything until yesterday afternoon, when i had a few free hours to transfer everything over.

My original Ion was at about 40% battery. I figured i'd send it back to them 'close' to when it does its 30% shut down thing. I took out the sim card and SD card, and turned it back on to connect to my PC to finish getting any residual pictures/files off the internal storage...and finish with a 'sim-less factory reset', per the AT&T directions.

This Ion had been reset multiple times, had been reflashed at least 5 times...rooted, unrooted, then rooted again...etc...the ONLY thing i had not tried...was removing the sim card and turning on the phone (it had been out several times, just never started it)...and at this point the phone was still on the newest .111 AT&T ics build. I just never thought of that, i guess...

figures...as soon as the phone started without a sim, the battery icon flashes...disappears...then reappears at ~10%...which is exactly where it should've been...I checked the battery status in settings and it showed that cliff, only this time falling from 40 to 10% and holding...normally it would fall from 30 to 0, and then go straight up to 30 again as soon as charging starts...

I have no idea if this was just a coincidence, but i had rebooted this phone so many times i figured it would've reset by now. 24 hours later and its remained ok for now...kind of happy though, i'd rather keep my 'worn in' ion than the replacement haha...
[General Questions and Answers] cciemd:
Hi,

I've tried to search for an answer to this but haven't successfully found the answer. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to add a single NID (I think that is the right term) to a Sprint PRL?

My problem is that I get abysmal Sprint voice service at work. Data service is irrelevant as there is WiFi available. US Cellular voice service is fantastic as they actually have a tower inside the building. In the past I've used Roam Control on rooted devices to force roaming at work. This has worked great, but I would prefer to just add the appropriate information to the PRL. I'm switching to an HTC One and it is not currently supported by Roam Control, and editing the PRL would allow me to forego rooting the device.

Thanks in advance!

[Defy General] ryboto:
So, I've got the ugly duckling of the Defy line(but I love it), the Defy Pro XT560. I was able to root using some adapted steps from a Motorola Motoluxe procedure(http://bruno.tuy.com.br/blog/?p=173, not in english). I'm wondering if anyone knows if this would mean there's a chance the phones are similar enough to possibly, maybe, someday get an updated ROM on the thing?
[Defy General] Mavasilisk:
Similar? Not. Screens are not similar, hardware keyboard. I dont think its possible cuz of the screen resolution. It will be a pain in the "face".
[Defy General] ryboto:
I don't know enough about it. Apps seem to work fine with the resolution...is there a good guide for rom cooking somewhere? Maybe I'll play around myself since I doubt I can find anything that'll work with the phone.
[Defy General] Mavasilisk:
Most of the apps are able to run on many devices cuz they support different resolution. It has nothing to do with the ROM.
[Defy General] ryboto:
What is the fundamental issue with a different resolution?
[Defy General] Mavasilisk:
Check some ROM porting guide. Its written there that you have to choose ROMs with the same resolution cuz it will be easier to port. It means that u cant use the same ROM on 2 different phones with different resolution.
[Defy General] ryboto:
Well, there must be a guide somewhere on how to cook a rom....I'd like to at least try, given that once the next version comes out, GB will be 4 versions behind...
[Defy General] superdave:
I have a 2ndinit CM 7.2 port just about complete. Everything except the camera works and I'm pretty close on that. This is using stock kernel, I have not looked into 2ndboot yet. I'm also waiting on the kernel source from motorola. If there's intrerest still, one I get the cam working ill post it.
[Defy General] Henry2005:
Yes, we are very interesting with CM7 ROM - I had used it on my ChaCha and it was very nice. But, I believe that if I want to install custom ROM, I must have CWM Recovery (custom recovery) already installed, isn't it?

Sorry for my bad English :rolleyes:.
[Defy General] superdave:
CWM is installed using the Bootmenu installer. Right now I am running CM 7.2 off my SD card so I can dual boot. To access bootmenu cleanly I am currently using battery_charger mode,but, I have been able to get into CM7.2 using the first run service vpnmanagerpm. also. I still need to get the camera working, but, hope to have something up soon.
[Defy General] Henry2005:
Thanks for the reply.

OK, if you already have running CM7.2 on Moto Defy Pro it's very good news, so one problem is camera, isn't it?
[Defy General] clxer:
Do you have a cwm recovery for xt560?
[Defy General] jmmelbau:
Excited to see this. Definitely still at least some interest.
[Defy General] superdave:
Yeah, cwm works using 2ndinit. The rom is pretty stable, but, I still have not got the camera going. I'm closer though Everything else works and runs really fast off the sdcard. If I'm stuck too much longer, ill take a break and get a version without the cam posted.
[Defy General] retr13:
the same old faces everywhere:)

will watch closely for this topic
[Defy General] superdave:
Created a new thread with the rom here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49394355
[Defy General] retr13:
not all of us can post there

maybe you should look into particulars(and post them) about instructions in number 2 and installing 2ndinit
[Defy General] superdave:
Ok, sorry about that. The bootmenu installer takes care of installing the initial 2ndinit for you. The rom has 2ndinit built in for future boots. You just need to connect your rooted phone and run the batch file.
[Defy General] retr13:
maybe others can say something

tryied with and without adb, with and wihout drivers, with two different phones and with 2 xp pc.

maybe something is't right with installer, or it is necessary use other os or to install something for it to work?
[Defy General] superdave:
The installer needs to access adb. So either set your path to include the adb location or copy adb to the same directory as the installer script.
[Defy General] Henry2005:
I tried this. I flashed CM7, but now I have light keyboard and word "android" on the screen and nothing. I wiped all data, cache and so on... Any ideas?
[Defy General] retr13:
same problem but not at once after flashing

one battery cycle most of it was relativily fine, but since power off and plug in charger - phone gone in bootmenu, and from there to cm loading with no result and no reaction to anything(power button etc)

another wipe cache seems to be "solve" a problel. but same consistency is clear

was impressed by ammount of ram and rom memory availabale, and very useful flexible setting for a lot of things

also, there was few problems, bugs etc - i should mention them, or it some kind of fyi topic?

[HTC Droid DNA] sn1p3r6992:
So the past two days I have used my old galaxy nexus to play around with aosp again. Yesterday I put my SIM back into my DNA and I can't get 4g. I have installed different kernels, wiped EVERYTHING, refitted the SIM 1000 times and still nothing. Guess what? 4g works fine on the nexus. Also, when using an app that allows me to access the phone info screen, lte only option gives me 4g with no hiccups. But when I change back to anything else I can't get 4g.

New SIM?

I saw an old thread about it but not many answers.

EDIT: new SIM fixed it.
[HTC Droid DNA] kkeller87:
Thanks for sharing. I literally just did the same thing. I guess I'll be going to get a new sim today.

Will this happen every time I use my nexus?

Edit- new SIM fixed it for me too.

Unfortunately it looks like we can't get Adobe Flash Player support in the stock browser and some other browsers as well. The HTC One had a setting in the native browser that let you toggle it on really quickly.

However with a little bit of work, you can find yourself enjoying Adobe Flash on a browser that may be new to you.

Go to the Play Store and install "Boat Browser".

Go to settings > more > security > unknown sources (enable it)

Navigate to http://flash.cricketusers.com (I own this site and put this download here for use with ICS+ devices).

Install Adobe Flash Player

Open the application at the end of the install. It should give you the option of which browser to use. Choose "Boat Browser". It should open into a settings page.

Test Adobe Flash Player within Boat Browser on any flash enabled page.

Flash failed on: Stock Browser, Dolphin Browser.

Others are untested by myself.

KitKat 4.4 Update

I don't have the S4 with me anymore, but below is a video of flash player being installed on my wife's Nexus 5.

Install the modified APK and use Dolphin Browser with JetPack enabled. That should help with the stability aspect of it. Enable flash inside Dolphin.

The modified flash apk has been placed at: http://flash2.cricketusers.com
