Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Ive been using this website to teach myself how to root and unroot almost every phone out there, and I swear I searched for both model name and number but it looks like no one has touched the Viper. All i keep getting is ViperMOD. I know something is available for this phone because the ones I have are rooted. But I need to unroot and it's like that model doesn't even exist. Any help would be appreciated.

The lock symbol means the connection to the site is secure. It has nothing to do with the issue you are having. Try to add the file to your drop box and download it from there.

Hi guys yesterday i installed the latest cyanogenmod 10.1 with latest blade kernel, before i did a full wipe (data, system,cache, dalvik, factory reset). I noticed that my phone lag enough and the battery level down so fast also when the screen is off (like 1% in 2-3 minutes)... i also tried aokp and paranoid android but is the same thing...how can i solve this problem?? My governor is smartmax, min frequency 102 and max 1700.

PS: Sorry for my bad english but i'm italian XD
[HTC One X+] Addicted2xda:
Try to completely exhaust the battery (I know it is a tough call if this is your primary phone...). And then fully charge it while it is in off mode.

do it for 4 - 5 cycles and see if your battery backup improves.
[HTC One X+] roh756:
Simple, either go back to stock or install a different kernel.

What is this icon? I checked the manuals and don't see it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] virus86:
I believe its the GPS/Location icon. There is another thread below asking how to remove/hide it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] km8j:
Why is it showing if GPS is not engaged?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] virus86:
With "Access to my location" on, the icon will have the three curved lines on the right. It doesnt matter which selection you have on under "Location sources".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EVOme:
I wasn't used to seeing that on my N2 because I did the plist edit to remove it. Forgot myself what it was. There are too many things up there on this device. The smart screen eye icon should go on and off when it sees you instead of staying up there and blinking.

if you can save it as BMP or JPG, you can then go to Settings / today. Tick the "use this picure as background" option, then hit Browse and find your image.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hollisterryann:
I would have to say the ibolt xprodock I was iffy about paying $40 but it's so worth it. It fits any case. I'm using it With cygnett workmate. It can fit a note 2 with otterbox and still have room for more. It has charger and automatically starts car dock mode when u download an app for it. This seller I bought from is amazing I had a problem and fixed it and credited me a few bucks back . I wouldn't buy another dock. You can even use it as a dash cam because it keeps camera exposed

Is samsung not making an official car mount for the s4? I was upset when I saw that there wasnt one :(
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Guti1977:
Samsung does have one and it is available at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...TF8&qid=1369347219&sr=8-1&keywords=ECS-K200BE

However you have to pay the Samsung price if you know what I mean :p
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ronin4740:
Another vote for the iBolt dock. Secure, functions well, doesn't obscure the camera, lets the S4 in a Trident Kraken/Otterbox Defender fit, etc... pricey but worth it IMHO.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] SPARK333:
I was looking at that one too. Is there any chance someone has the neo hybrid case and could check to see if the usb can even be connected on the dock?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hollisterryann:
I can confirm that case does not fit charger...only problem I did have you can just change usb on the dock itself tho
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ramk13:
It does not fit, but you can shave down soft plastic of the iBolt connector pretty easily with a x-acto/hobby knife. Or any sharp knife really. Took me 1-2 minutes to do. See my post with pictures here:

http://www.amazon.com/cell-phones-accessories/dp/B002K9IPOC

It mounts securely and it solid and it's easy to clip and unclip the phone one handed. Adjustment is also one handed via push buttons and you can rotate it to and from landscape without changing your adjustments. My S4 will be my third phone to occupy the mount.

I've tried all the better model of car docks and the Craigsdocks dock is by far the best, IMO.

http://www.craigsdocks.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-s4-note-ii-car-dock/

Charges, secure holding. Can put the phone in and remove it, all with one hand. No putting it in the dock and then plugging in the USB cable. Nope, this one is all done in one easy motion with just one hand.

A bit more $$, but it will work with any Samsung Galaxy phone. S2, S3, S4, Note II. So it's pretty much future proof as long as Samsung keeps putting the USB port on the bottom of the phone.

It also works with extended batteries and large cases. And billet aluminum. I just can't really say enough good things about this dock.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
WOW....... umm, I'm very impressed! Going to contact them and see if they'll send me a demo unit to review! GREAT find, thanks for posting
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] swieder711:
The car and desktop docks from Craig look great. A bit pricey. I wonder if the car dock can be attached to my proclips base.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
That's exactly what I was going to do, right flat on the base with industrial strength Velcro tape - don't use screws, just Velcro that thing right to it and it should work just fine that way, the CraigsDock has a very flat base on the back of it and would work great with the flat face of the ProClip vehicle mount! Just make sure to get all the screws set first, obviously, or else you'll have to peal back the one side of Velcro just to get to it. Use Velcro tape and not double-sided tape because then you can't work with it quickly or switch out components when you get a new phone as easily! PROTIP :good:

I really like the iOttie One Touch XL that I just got. It has a very strong suction cup and an easy one click lock/release mechanism.

I got it on a sale from Meritline.

I'd also tried another iOttie that's more compact. While the S4 fits it, it's near the end of the range so it's more of a two handed operation to put the phone in the holder. I much prefer the Easy One Touch linked above.

Evita download isn't even on that page -_- Are you using an evita htc one xl? If not, wrong forum. If so:

download a rom from this Forum section, if you like AOSP, there's a bunch to choose from in Original android development.

download twrp 2.3.3.1 do not use any version above 2.3.3.1

Check MD5 of your downloads, make sure it matches.

Reboot to bootloadrer

fastboot flash recovery twrp2.3.3.1filename.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Select recovery from bootloader

Mount USB storage

Copy your rom over.

wipe cache, dalvik, system, factory reset

Flash your rom zip file

If you are S-OFF or your hboot < 1.14 reboot you're done.

If your hboot >= 1.14 and S-ON extract the boot.img from the rom you downloaded

reboot to bootloader/fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot.img (the one you just extracted from the rom)

I wasn't going to help you at first because this EXACT post is created at least once a day and is easily fixed by reading and understanding what you're doing. Hopefully this is a wakeup call that you should not be rooting your phone without knowing at least the basics.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DerIdiot:
Hey all, quick question.

I have CM10.1 RC2 running and when I put my new SD card into my phone it lists a lot of System Sounds now as well as the music. It didn't do this before I got my new SD card, I am guessing it's because I pulled the card out with the phone running. Is there a way to prevent the phone from finding system sounds (IE: Lock, Unlock etc)?

I read up on the .nomedia option but I use the alarm built into the phone and don't want to have it not go off..

I am using Apollo and ³ (Cubed)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] A Giant Orange:
You could try wiping the dalvik, reinstalling the app, or even copying the alarm sound and selecting it in the clock app, then doing what you said.

[Sony Tablet S] StreamOfLife:
Hello !

I just ordered the 16gb version (no 3g) for about $320 (a lot more expensive here usually). It's one which apparantly was sent back and got a general maintenance. Got it from the German Sony outlet online store. Obviously the first thing Ill do will be checking for errors and sending it back if its not alright.

I will be travelling to asia for about a year as of august and thought it was pretty fitting so I just ordered before they're all gone...

Now I'm wondering a few things!

Will I be able to connect via 3g with an internet dongle like the huawei E137 ?

Can I connect my 2.5" external hdd without additional power? I read almost everywhere that it doesn't work on all the tablets, but I also think I read that the sony usb port is more powerful and can stream over hdmi without additional power. I know that ill need an OTG usb host cable. It's a Samsung s1 mini with 120gb.

The bigger question is however which updates I should install. I read a few threads on here (very confusing with all the sony tablets being in one place...) and couldn't really come to a conclusion.

I don't really play games, except Id maybe like to play some N64 stuff on an emulator. I mainly want to use it to browse the internet, do hostel bookings etc. and watch movies.

Im sorry if these have been asked before, I couldnt find an answer :/
[Sony Tablet S] jumper62:
No you can't connect to 3g. Not sure about HDD.

Note: should have got a xperia tablet z
[Sony Tablet S] jpm168:
Second that. Probably better value down the road seeing as support for this will be abandoned soon probably... if not already.
[Sony Tablet S] StreamOfLife:
It's not possible to connect to the internet via surf stick?

I've seen videos on youtube where people do it with other android tablets. Is that a xts specific problem?

the xperia tablet z is exactly twice the price :/
[Sony Tablet S] lopezk38:
The tablet does not have the drivers to run the dongle. The STS has this issue too. Since the XTZ is made by the Sony Mobile team, and not the Sony Vaio team, it most likely will support dongles... IMO it would be worth paying extra for the XTZ because of the much higher standards the mobile team has, its unlockable bootloader, high res screen, etc.
[Sony Tablet S] StreamOfLife:
Hmm alright, too bad...

Could it be possible someday? With it being able to root now?

I really don't wanna spend another 250€, I can live a month in India with that money :/

I had a look a the tablet in an electronics market here and I think the display is more than enough for me.

Guess I'll have to live with tethering then.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
I'll see if a 3G dongle works with the Xperia Tablet Z.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Instead of a dongle, use a wireless mobile hotspot device. Most are small enough to fit in your pocket, better than having a dongle hanging off your tablet, and there is no hassle with loading device drivers. I don't know what is available in India or Asia, but I'm in the USA and I use a Sierra Wireless Overdrive Pro™ 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot through Virgin Mobile.
[Sony Tablet S] xxliftsupxx:
XTS root, then you can also use a 3G dongle;) Since there's a free app in the Market "UMTS MANAGER";) Try yourself and also works on 4.1.1 with root.

Unfortunately, USB hard drives consume a lot of electricity - are alternative USB sticks it should be paid to the format ... NTFS is otherwise only with root with the help of the free app "Paragon NTFS & HFS" so you can then mount ...
[Sony Tablet S] StreamOfLife:
That sounds like some good news!

I'm still not quite sure whether I should send it back or keep it (hasn't arrived yet but is in transit...would the galaxy tab 10.1" be a better choice? its about the same price here).

Is rooting it risky? Is there any danger to it? Will it be possible with every device or could there be regional differences (mine will be german I guess)?

If I'll be able to root it, that means I can use all the apps there are basically? What about alternate ROMs, will that be possible?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm kind of new to the whole topic, though I did root a smartphone I had :D

Come to think about it, I could use that as a mobile hotspot maybe... Though I'd have the same problems with being dependent on a second battery :/

I think if I'll be able to root it and it'd be able to use all those customized apps that make software things possible that sony tries to forbid or hasnt enabled at least the XTS would be a good choice for me since it's so cheap.
[Sony Tablet S] jimibxl:
You're better buy any other tablet than sony's one.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
Rooting isn't risky - it's what you do with the root which is.

When you root a phone, you place a su binary file in the /system partition.

If your a new to this, you WILL brick your device. Don't mess with system files before asking here first :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Tablet S] jpm168:
If you read here first before firing off crazy commands its prob safe to root, having said that after you do the risk of bricking is high bcuz no custom recovery and boot loader is locked so you cannot just flash a Rom to fix it. If you are not in love with Sony for whatever reason, and depending on what you plan to do with the tablet, I would either save $100 and get a nexus 7 or spend extra $100 and get nexus 10.
[Sony Tablet S] StreamOfLife:
aaaalright you guys. thanks everyone!

sending it back...too bad tho, just got it yesterday and it looks pretty cool. thats not the most important thing for me though.

im leaving in 2 month for my trip, so ill wait another month and see if anything happens on the market. maybe ill get a nexus 10. I had a look at the 7 but its too small (htc one x is pretty big already).

[Sony Tablet S] rdalev:
Huh?
[Sony Tablet S] wintermute000:
He means the Xperia Z phone which has AOSP, root, CWM, heaps of custom ROMs etc.

Sony has defo changed direction, but unfortunately XTS was the last off the old line.

Personally I bought my XTS recently at a stupid good price (210USD) and even w/out root or custom ROMs it is a great tablet, beats buying a china cheapie for sure in terms of build etc. With JB the performance is fine, I can hook up a PS3 controller, the folded curve is great for one handed portrait reading, the only flaw is the wifi shut on sleep (grrrr).
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
For 210 USD this is a great deal. Although people complain a lot, the tablet is generally fine, im using it without root aswell. :)
[Sony Tablet S] rdalev:
Well when you spend $599.00 for the 64GB version + $150.00 for accessories, you might not feel it's such a great deal, especially since the issues, wifi disconnect, game stutter, random reboots, browser freezes and time drift are still prevalent even after the JB update. And add on top of all that Sony, s dismal support, you'll see where I'm coming from!
[Sony Tablet S] Sherl:
So guys suggesting better to buy a Nexus 7 instead of Sony Xperia Tablet S right?

I am getting a better deal on both so price is not a issue now!

I need the better one. Which one you guys suggest then? Nexus 7 or Xperia S?
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
If you're going for the Nexus 7, I'd wait - there is a "version 2" in the works with a faster processor.
[Sony Tablet S] Sherl:
No i am getting a better deal for both which is available in the market!

Whats you suggestion to go with?

Present Nexus 7 or Xperia Tablet S
[Sony Tablet S] jpm168:
Depends on how good of a deal on each :)

I got both, xts has more screen real estate but of course lot less dev support and locked bootloader so no custom ROMs or kernels. N7 has more stuff to play with, smoother experience from the custom stuff and more convenient to carry around in one hand.

As an aside the new Haswell products look like has the potential to be game changers ....
