i created a partition of my sd card and wanted to use it to install apps instead of using the internal memory. used link2sd to do it. wen i install an app, it says "linked to sd card" but my internal memory size decreases too.... wat do i do ???
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raayden:
So I decided to write this post because I've haven't find any helpful posts about it. Sometimes I wanna take full advantage of this quad-core device

and enjoy HD games and when I say that I don't mean on sitting on it for 5hours and expect it to run all the games perfect n smooth but I wonder

why on my device (full stock) in games like gta vice city, gta III, real racing 3 even sometimes asphalt 7 I experience frame issues especially gta

vice city which I expected to run smooth when I lower graphics a bit i get so bad frame drops and the games like n. o. v. a 3 and modern combat

4 run perfectly smooth with decent Fps. So first I thought guess gta isn't maybe well optimized for xperia z but then when I searched over YouTube for some gameplay of same games they ran alot smoother on same stock version of xperia z. So what's the difference I've downloaded all the latest versions of these games restarted phone before running and disabled stamina battery mode but still the same thing. Always the same frame issuses and they are not just a little ones sometimes makes game so un enjoyable and leggy especially gta vice city. So I would appreciate any helpful opinion or advice or am I really starting to regret for getting this phone not just because few games Lagg only on my device

there are many other stuff but I won't write about them in this post ( I am running all the games from internal memory not using SD card yet) So

I wonder do I really need to root my phone and flash it with some light pure preformamce custom room to get decent preformamce of this games?

Thanks for reading and looking forward for some helpful answers thanks.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
That highly depends on what apps you have installed into your phone.

Have you test with only the stock rom with default apps ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raayden:
Hmm

I consider about factory reset since to be honest most of my internal memory is filled with games I am testing and I have like only 10%free space

even less but I don't think it affects so much of preformamce of games 1gb of free space should be enough I guess as for other apps I don't really have alot of them downloaded most of them came with the phone itself. Since I am not really into all of the custom roms and all that expert I only thought about factory reset and getting decent class sd card but thought since ppl on YouTube used stock room and got smooth let's say decent

Gameplay guess I should too well. I'll wait for some more replies before factory also I am a bit worried bcs I read a post from one guy that there could some software

Problem with the phone on some1 else post that had the same problem with certain games so I am very thankful on fast thankful advices
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
It's affect the performance of course, also many process may occur if you have a ton of useless app on your phone, seriously 1gb free space? Ridiculous... I can't believe that you need all that space and you play all of your that games all the time.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raayden:
Well the internal memory is 11,73gb with out sd card I've downloaded few hd games and few casual for testing and maybe putting video of gameplay on yt well yeah and one hd game takes 2gb like nova guess I am going for factory reset and I'll try to download gta only and see how it preforms
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
That seems to be a good idea, really :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeoSpaceKing:
The lag in the games what I guess is caused by the underclocking of ur cpu due to the heating and stuff..in my xz,when I start the game everything runs smooth but after an hour or so,when the phone heats up..sometimes I feel a little lag,just a little..I play in a cooler place,the lags reduce a lot..well,every game I've ever played lagged at some point..:p

Hit thanks if I helped you.Sent from my Killer Xperia Z(C6602) using xda premium.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raayden:
Yeah I agree

Yeah i know and I am fine with 1hour of gaming then make pause and let phone cool out its stasifying thought it's a quad-core device of course

It heats up but at me the game lagged even when phone wasn't hot when I started using it after night charging so I'll make factory reset when I catch some free time to day and start from fresh and will try to leave more free internal memory until I get sd card
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shanzh20:
if the phone heats up , just run the phone under the tap for a few mins to cool it down and play on! LOL
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raayden:
ay i finished factory reset and i have installed only gta vice city and it stila laggs

Maybe bcs I havent download it from google store or smthk bcs i dont think its

Software since i can play nova3 and modern combat 4

laggs free or smooth any solution i would rally like to play

Gta vice city with decent fps
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msc3169:
I dont think full HD devices are fully compatible with Vice City yet, if you look at the list of supported devices in playstore there aren't any FHD devices. Its upto the game developer to iron out issues with FHD devices.

Why don't you guys undervolt the cpu to help keep the temps under the threshold and avoid throttling?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeoSpaceKing:
I don't think the stock kernel supports undervolting and I guess we need some other custom kernel probably like Doomkernel..and for that I need to be bootloader unlocked..I don't wanna lose my warranty yet so soon..:p maybe after 6 months or so :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
Ninja edit:

Oh, yes, unlocked bootloader needed.

Anyhow, unlocking the bootloader doesn't mean voiding your warranty forever. You can lock it again before sending the phone for repairs if it ever needs service.

[HTC EVO 3D] rp1226:
Hi Guys,

I'm not new to flashing roms. I've been flashing since the Evo 4G. Currently with my EVO3D, I've had no issues. I was on an AOSP rom (PACMAN and CM 10.1) and I wanted to try a few sense roms. I've tried CoolRoom and stock with no luck. I was able to install Butterz Sense. But now I have a problem, now I can't install any roms at all.

I have tried clearing cache and factory resets.

I've tried changed the HBOOT, I started with 1.5, I went to 1.4, 1.3, now i'm at 1.04 i believe all with no luck. I end up going into a bootloop with all roms.

My current config:

Hboot 1.5

S-Off

4EXT Recovery Touch RC9

Roms I've tried that failed:

PACMAN

CM 10.1

MIUI

COOLROM

Stock

RUU install

Other things I've tried

HBOOT 1.5, 1.4, 1.3, 1.04

TWRP recovery

Fastboot install boot.img

Only working rom:

Butterz Sense

Any help would be great since this is such a bizarre case.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
Try this

Install 4ext recovery touch RC8, wipe data, wipe cache and dalvik, format all partitions except sd card. Repeat all these steps and try flashing ROM. I had similar issues when I installed 4ext RC9 and this helped

[HTC EVO 3D] rp1226:
Thanks,

I'll give it a shot again. I feel like i've done this before...

So I'm back on RC8 for now, wiped a few times, and installing PACMAN....

Still now luck...

Back to Butterz...
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
Try any sense ROM. I Think 1.5 hboot won't install AOSP ROMs, no matter whether you're s-on or s-off. I would recomend 1.49.0007 hboot

Thank you for the request.

I just tried CoolRom with no luck. Locks up at "HTC quietly brilliant"

Back to the drawing board.

[HTC EVO 3D] rp1226:
I'll give it a shot and give an update.

You and me both... I'm banging my head on the wall trying to figure this out. At least i'm not bricked out without a rom that works. I'm fortunate Butterz works for now. But I would love to get back to PAC for CM...

Hopefully will be able to get a new phone soon, but until then I have to live with this. Will post back soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] rp1226:

Copy your sd card to your comp, repartition it using recovery and then try again

You know... I was thinking something similar. I was thinking maybe I should use a different sd card. I have a 32 gb sd card at the moment. I might go home and use my 8 gb card. See if that makes a difference and repartition it!

Let me see.

Download Hboot 1.4 from the following link. http://androidforums.com/cdma-evo-3d-all-things-root/648902-radios-hboot-firmware-all-downloads.html

Put it to the root of your sdcard and rename it it to PG86IMG.zip

Reboot into the boot loader and it will load the zip. I believe you need to be s-off to do this. If you are not, then do the wire trick (do a quick search).

That should do it for you.

Hello Developers

I have a Xperia L running the stock, unrooted 15.0.A.1.31 firmware. It is of Hong Kong customization. Sometimes I notice that the whole statusbar is filled with blurry lines and all the icons on the statusbar (battery, signal, time, etc.) are gone. I am attaching a sample screenshot.

If I pull down the notification bar and pull it up again, everything become normal again. This is nothing serious, but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the problem. Please let me know. Also, if anyone of you had solved this, let me know how to do that.

Please Help:

I purchased above set on 25-01-05 and suddenly on 22-03-05, while talking I found that the telephone part of the mobile pc is frozen. I did soft/hard reset but to no avail. The telephone menu does not come up and even the storage card does not "Restore". I referred the matter to O2 Help Desk and they say that since the set is not in warranty, therefore they want to charge INR 20,000 (approx US$ 450). They would change the mother board and give a warranty of 3 months. I find their charges too steep.

Is there any way that I can get the phone part working. Please help!
[HTC One X] redh4t:
Hello guys,

My phone seems a bit slower than it was before. Opening app takes time and so on. There are 1.6GB FREE on phone storage and 15GB on internal (SD) storage available.

Any suggestions what could i do to speed it up? Tried different roms, sense and now on aosp. Phone by itself works great but when i try to open for example camera360 it lags.

There are bunch of files left of some apps, empty folders and stuff in SD card, maybe that is the case?

Any ways to speed phone up? ROM suggestions please?
[HTC One X] Stefan0vic:
LagFix (free) worked for me :)
[HTC One X] Rafael Cardoso:
Hi!

Well, I had some problems with lag in many roms!

I recommend you to use Blade Elite 1.3.1, but this is just my personal opinion!

Of course, each rom has it's own features, depending on the user. Just chek it ;)

Remember that HTC One x is a powerful quadcore smartphone, so, lags are not so commom, maybe your kernel or something like this..

Best regards! :good:
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
Lag on the OneX, if it has been in use for some time, can be the result of the very poor flash controller.

Try the above mentioned LagFix (fstrim). It's on the Play Store.
[HTC Desire X] nor-ric:
Hi guys,

I'm about to buy this phone for my gf. She likes my One S (the big bro of the Desire X) and wants a mid-range phone, so I've decided to go for the Desire X.

In particular I'd like to ask you if the Desire X comes with the oleophobic, anti-fingerprint screen as the One S. I've found this info nowhere.

Thanks!
[HTC Desire X] nightwalkerkg:
Nope,it's a normal s-lcd screen.
[HTC Desire X] nor-ric:
I see, thanks... Is it very sensitive to fingerprints?
[HTC Desire X] nightwalkerkg:
Well yeah,but you can clean them easy. I use my t-shirt and just wipe them out. There is also an option to buy a anti-fingerprint screen cover.

But i would go with the One S. Screen is better,internal memory is better,camera is better,ram is better,cpu and gpu also. But the price is bigger.

Here is the full spec and you can compare it to DX. http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_s-4574.php
[HTC Desire X] nor-ric:
Yes, I already own a One S! :p

The Desire X would be for my gf, whose budget is no more than 200€. She likes the Sense UI and HTC design, so I think the Desire X is the best (and only) bet. I was just wondering about the anti-fingerprint treatment because it's a really nice thing, especially for a woman.

Thanks a lot anyway! :)

I got a desire X off the advice off the guys here and i love it its a grate phone does everything i want it to do only had one problem with it the screen got the common fault with the dead pixels but htc took my phone fitted a complete new screen and front face of the phone and returned it in a week no questions asked so i would defiantly go for one also my mate has the desire c and when playing videos in a public place you cant hear the audio the desire x you can hear it clearly seems very loud
[HTC Desire X] nor-ric:
Thanks guys! :)
[HTC Desire X] nightwalkerkg:
Yup,the def. go with the DX. Then the screen cover is your only option if you don't want any fingerprints. It's not really expensive.

The phone is really great.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] BlueBerryNinjaX:
Coded up another simple tool today; and, just released it on the play store. The concept of it is simple. It checks to see if a user has root access available to them. That is all.

Q: Why is this even useful?

A: I'm glad you asked! I used to work on phones; and, Android software in-particular for a small repair shop where I live. I used a tool Similar to this when i would root someones phone to verify if root was present or not before I began my work / after I completed the rooting process. I know these can be handy for a tech as a quick tool.

Q: Wouldn't a tool like this just be wiped out during a ROM flash?

A: Yes, which is why its particularly annoying; and, a feature i'm looking into is installing on the SD to prevent this and see how that would help it survive a ROM flash. Which I would love some feedback on btw :)

Q: Well, why do you have two different versions?

A: As of right now, one is a donate version and the free version is ad supported. There is no difference between them aside from that. The differences will start to become apparent as i continue my development. This is just the initial release.

Q: Which Download should I use?

A: Please use the free one and provide me with any kind of feedback here. :good:
