JB runs great. Battery life is worse than ics, but still good. Performance is good, and you can overclock if you need more power.

Go for original S2....its better than plus... Original was a flagship and plus is intended as midranger..u get less at everything in plus (i think its a minus)..mayb they did the math wrong...;)

don't buy plus!

take the galaxy s2 not the plus !

because is more easy to root this phone then the galaxy s2 plus !

actually I bought this phone for gaming purposes :victory: why? first of all my samsung galaxy player/wifi 5.0 only has 512mb ram (150mb free) Drastic DS which is a very good DS emulator is running like a fat dude on that tab so I was wondering if a higher ram would actually solve the problem, I was against lenovo p770 (has 1gb ram and dual core but has very powerful battery lifespan) or samsung s2 i9100 (which has a more powerful cam) I decided to take on samsung since it's more customizable and when I got home to try the Emulator... well it was freakin FASTER than i expected :D the DS emulator requires 150mb free (but i think it requires even more since i was playing with 190mb free on the tab) it emulates good set of heavy 3D graphical games too :D

I noticed that my Verizon Galaxy S4 is much dimmer compared to my Galaxy Nexus at any matched brightness, especially full.

The Nexus just has that blinding brightness at full and the S4 doesn't, especially next to each other.

Is everyone else with both phones seeing the same?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
you must be on crack or have a bad screen. full brightness on both and my nexus barely looks like its on compared to the brightness of the S4. i even put it up next to my friends N2 and it blew his away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mutelight:
Your phone is defective if the Nexus looks brighter than the S IV. My S III was a lot brighter than the Galaxy Nexus, my Note II brighter than both and my S IV brighter than all of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] darek65:
This might help (from Gizmodo site)

"The Galaxy S4 uses one innovative approach to overcome this—when Automatic Brightness is turned on, the Peak Brightness becomes significantly brighter in high ambient lighting than is possible with Manual Brightness, up to as high as 475 cd/m2, which is 34 percent higher than is possible with Manual Brightness."

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] just4747:
Both phones are on manual brightness, s4 has the auto tone turned off and screen mode turned to dynamic. Yes, the galaxy nexus is slightly brighter at max than the gs4 at full...esp the whites. I cant imagine it's defective or different than others...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
It's pretty damned bright. I usually just crank the brightness...this is the first Android device I have used that I prefer autobrightness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] guts311:
GS4 Dimmer Than Galaxy Nexus at Full Brightness

Here are some pics I snapped of both phones at full brightness with no auto-anything on and GS4 is on Dynamic for Screen mode (and no auto tone).

GS4 is on the right. Notice how the GNex is slightly brighter in all cases (and even more so in person- the whites just really blow out bright and are blinding white).

Is this normal or not? Do you think this comes down to difference in screens/hardware suppliers? GNex is on newest AOKP too if that matters for screen settings/calibration at all.

The GS4 is plenty bright to me but I question things when comparing these:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] christianstudebaker:
If it is indeed not as bright as the nexus, then it may be a faulty phone. The brightness of the phone or lack there of, should not make you question it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] barondebxl:
No way! The Gnexus is almost impossible to read outside, the S4 cannot possibly be worse.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kbowman:
The S4 screen is a few iterations newer than the gnex. I sure hope its better in the sun.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mutelight:
Which weather widget are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] guts311:
It's GO Weather EX w/ the Outside theme.

So no one else has this same outcome when comparing their gs4 to their gnex??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
The colors in that picture from the galaxy nexus look completely washed out and dull. Side by side my S4 blows away the nexus screen on brightness, color and clarity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] guts311:
So everyone else who has compared, the Gnex never looks brighter than their S4 at max like it does in mine? Honestly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
Nope. My S4 blows away my gnex
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] guts311:
I'm not talking about the colors or sharpness or clarity or anything, just brightness. The S4 is better at all those other things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
Same answer bud. Sorry. Blows it away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] just4747:
Hey this is guts311 again (OP), on a different user name.

Thanks for the feedback. Dansan, can you possibly post a similar comparison pic with the two phones for me to see what I am supposed to be seeing at max on both? I would really appreciate it.

Are any else's menu and back buttons also fairly dull at all times except for in the dark? I can always see them when they are lit up, but sometimes they are too dim even in decent light. Maybe this is all related.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
I'm not home right now but when I get home late tonight I'll take a picture for ya.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bululu:
Hello!

Please forgive me if i ask the wrong way here.

I would like to migrate from (rooted) ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.2.2 Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my xperia mini st15i.

I remember me rooting it using gingerbread and flashtool a year ago, but i cant remember how i updated to stock ics. Most probably using the flashtool.

Now i have the problem that i cannot enter recover mode by pressing Volume down when turning on.

The system just starts into some safe mode.

Reading the last 4 hours arround makes me think that there is a cwm missing, but all tries to install cwm on my 4.0.4 phone fail (eg using x-parts).

Do you have a tip or advise how i can migrate from 4.0.4 to 4.2.2?

best regards,

b
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
First of all, you need an unlocked bootloader to flash any rom like 4.1 or 4.2. So unlock it and then go on ;)

Now you choose the 4.2.2 rom (I guess cm10.1) and open the zip, flash the kernel boot.img from inside the zip using flashtool (or the fastboot.exe) and then install the rom :)

If I were you I'd first read many guides like for example my bootloader unlocking guide or my guide how to install a custom kernel/rom :good:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bululu:
Thank you so much for your advice. I managed it to unlock the bootloader, even the automatic software (#2 in your tut) didnt recieve the unlock code. I had to get it per email from sony.

At restart it seems that all data was lost, and i am now ready to go to CM 10.1.

So if i understand you correctly, this is what i have to do now:

1) flash he boot.img from the shu_cm-10.1-20130519-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip - This will install CWM

2) when the mobile restarts i am now able to enter the cwm and install the zip which is on the sd-card

3) Enjoy 4.2.2

Is this correct?

best regards,

B
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Yes, first you copy the cm10.1.zip and the gapps (google apps) for android 4.2.2 on your sdcard. Then you flash the boot.img for cm10.1 (from inside the zip) on phone and reboot in cwm (pressing volume down randomly or when the notification led lights up) ;)

Now you are in cwm, there you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and then install zip from sdcard - choose zip - choose cm10.1, let it install. Afterwards you choose the gapps.zip. When the installation has finished, just reboot and enjoy android 4.2.2 :good:

Too bad - i think i bricked my phone in doing that.

I flashed the boot.img as said and tried to restart and enter cwm.

But the only thing that happens is the LED is pink and the screen switches on but stays black.

What did i wrong?

Lucky it seems still possible to enter fast flash mode and the flashtools recognize the phone
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bululu:
In the meanwhile i was able to flash a stock GB .42 and root it.

I tried to install cwm using x-parts but x-parts freezes during the installation and i get a notification that is has to be force-ended.

So i am struggling at installation of the cwm on my st15i.

I never thought that it is so nasty...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mnishamk:
Instead of using flashtool, use some batch tools (like in my sig) to flash the kernel (boot.img) that came with cm rom.

Then try booting it, when fxp logo appears, press vol down.

If it didn't work, try some custom kernels like lupus or mesa and try again.

Regards

N
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Which boot.img did you use? The one for mini (smultron)? :)

Btw let's go on via PM, we can try to solve it in German, maybe that's easier. We can post the solution in the end here ;)

Btw for the next time you have a question, please post it in Q&A section :good:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
The just wait until it's online again or try FXP cm10 again for smultron. Then flash the right gapps for 4.1.2 ;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bululu:
Finally i made it to 4.2.2 on the xperia st15i using CM10.1 from mike, and i am superhappy.

It really was all about the wrong image, and not finding the correct one, because goo.im was offline.

I love xda-dev :highfive: and its helpful community!

Hello,

When I want to unlock my phone, display is not responding - I push power button, but the display just wont light on. I thought that the phone is just switched off/discharged battery, but I tried to call to my phone, and it started to ring, but the display was still black. After rebooting the phone, everything is okay.

Today it happend 3 times, so screen of battery details is provided in attachment. Plot is pretty interesting, I do not know what does it mean...It looks like battery level dropped to 0, eventhough the phone was still on.(I could call to this phone and it rang). I havent noticed any overheating.

I tried:

- stock ROMS - XXLPY, XXLPZ, XXLQ4, XXLQB, XXLQE (stock kernels, no ROOT)

- custom kernels - Cocafe from 4.2 to 6.2

- custom ROMS - CM10

->same issue everywhere

I tried many factory resets, tried to wipe data, clear cache, clear dalvik cache, without success.

This issue used to happen once a week, sometimes it happens twice a day.

Have you experienced this issue too?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3cr0w:
That kind of chart is when you power off the phone yourself - thin hole for reboot and wider for power off during charging or sth with more noticeable time span.

Based on that chart I would say 5 reboots happened in those almost 4 hours - be it you did it yourself or phone froze and rebooted itself.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodaven:
It happened to me like 3 o 4 times since I have this phone, I had to reboot it to make it work again when that happened.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slavo#:
I am forced to reboot phone too. But have you thought what might cause this issue?

Yes, you are right. I rebooted phone 2 times indepedently. But those 3 wide holes are caused by this issue. The phone was not plugged to charger, it was just laying on the table. If the phone would self-reboot, probably I would notice samsung logo during reboot.

Still I cannot imagine what would be the reason for this behaviour. My guess is bad battery, as I tried various ROMS/kernels, it looks like it is not a software issue from my point of view.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rahul125125:
Same problem..

Ot switch off automatically. .

It's been about a year and came back to check up on the latest offerings from the hard working folks here.

I am currently running

Android version 4.1.1

Kernel 3.1.10 android@uranus

CleanRom 2.3

TWRP 2.2.2.3

I would like to get current on all. Should I follow the steps as if my device was brand new and starting from scratch or is there a more preferred way to go about it with my situation?

Thanks folks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
We're now on 4.2.1, here are current version of software you use:

Android: 4.2.1, as I said

CleanROM changed into CleanROM Inheritance - Xenogenesis, stable 4.6 should come out in a few days

For kernel you have some optoins: MaxKernel, Hundsbuah 3.0.6 or _that kernel.

TWRP - 2.5.0.0

You should visit Development section and check kernels out, also look for instructions on how to upgrade. Bootloader update is essential before rom update, keep that in mind.

Also, this is tf700 General, you have Q&A section for that kind of topics :confused:

[HTC EVO 3D] onagoodday:
Hi all I have a VM EVO V with S-OFF, HBOOT - 1.58.5858, Radio 1.09. To make a long story short I ran the battery on my phone till it died at 0%. After it died I kept trying to charge it using a usb cable and turn it on but my work computer wasn't providing enough juice I think. I came home and then used a wall charger and charged it to 100% (green light) and tried turning it on but its stuck on the Beats boot up screen now. Should also mention I'm running Smooth Criminal v2.3 rom. I did not do any flashing of any kernals or roms or radios or anything before becoming stuck on the boot up. Phone has been rock solid stable for several months till now. I've tried pulling battery out & rebooting etc. Going into Recovery clearing cache & dalvik.

I also made a nandroid backup and tried restoring that but its still stuck on Beats boot up logo. Is there anyway I can still recover from my stuck boot? I would really like to keep my current data/install if possible. I just don't understand how the low battery could have corrupted my rom. Any help would be appreciated thanks all!
[HTC EVO 3D] onagoodday:
Just found a quick and dirty way outa the situation. Found an app called "AppExtractor v2.0" on android marketplace that extracts sms/mms, contacts, app (APK + DATA) from nandroid backups. Just ended up doing factory reset/clearing all then reflashing the same rom and then install the app and recovering all data that way. Good option for those who get stuck in bootloop/phone won't boot up just go to recovery make a nandroid backup then just reflash and use this app to recover data that way!

[HTC Droid DNA] noahsark3:
My S-Off DNA is just under 6 months old and the battery, on all roms, lasts less that 6 hours on STANDBY. WiFi/data both on and off makes very little difference, and I tried freezing/uninstalling any apps that were not included in the ROM. So far, this problem has occurred on Hatka, NOS, Flyhalf's CM10.1, and Pio's PAC.

I use a wireless charger intermittently, which I have noticed heats up the phone sometimes. Perhaps that damaged the battery? This problem happened very suddenly. It does not correlate with any flashes, the purchase of the wireless charger, bootloader unlock, or change in location.

At this point I feel as if I should try for a replacement, unless anyone here has an idea for a software issue that's causing the problem (I have not run stock in several months, would going completely back to stock reset something?). Anything offered is appreciated.
[HTC Droid DNA] rfarrah:
i would go completely back to stock and try charging only via the supplied charger - see if it makes a difference. If it doesn't, you may have a defective handset. Also, check to see what is working in the background and check your deep sleep times. HTH

Hello :)

After a week of searching and trying to root my xtouch x817 i failed to get the drivers to work.

However 5 minutes ago i managed to root it :)

So here is what i did

I downloaded moborobo program and got the drivers from it however it was not working

so i went to c:\windows\users\{your user}\.android\ and i made a file named adb_usb.ini

and in that folder i added 0x2207

and finnaly usind ADB DEVICES command i detected my device with a weird serial number

which is

0123456789ABCDEF

and finally i downloaded bin4ry root tool

and i selected the first option and I DID NOT RESTORE

and it worked :)

That's great brother, I got this tablet sometime ago, sadly my son has broken it's WiFi, most probably hardware issue. I need to root it to be able to use reverse tethering on the device through USB. I have a little bit of experience rooting, I have two other rooted androids in the house, but could you please help me with Bin4ry Root Tool as I have never used it?

Specially with X817.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ananjaser1211:

I did not use Bin4ry tool for long time but i guess it is shown in the window how to do the root

it is super easy to use don,t worry

you will see a cable connected to a sort of sticker it is golden colored

the wifi is poor because the gold cable is probably cutted

Dear Adnan,

I search whole web and found that you are the only one who claim to root Xtouch x817 tablet. If this is correct, would you like to describe it further (how you do that). Actually i have 2 piece of this tablet and both looks bricked to me. i want to know how i can restore them on factory settings.

Regards,

Xinixi
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ananjaser1211:
Hey, well it was pretty straight forward. the table uses no security methods or whatsoever like locked bootloaders etc. so we can root it using any generic tool. for example. Bin4ry root tool .which is the one i used .

I did alot of searches and saw people use generic android drivers . the trick was. download generic drivers using any android managing tool such as moborobo or Wondershare MobileGo for android. then let it install the drivers . and then you need to navigate to

c:\windows\users\{your user}\.android\

inside it you will find this file "adb_usb.ini"

If not then make one.

type this in it 0x2207 and save the file

then enabled USB Debugging

and opened bin4ry and rooted it using that tool

the hard part is to get the drivers working. thats it

about your bricked device, check their site

to download the firmware and the tool. they got a really good manual to restore the tablet
