I'm on Windows 8, and have ADB working fine (was running V6 super charger and the services patch before i came across this)...but don't know for sure what is causing your problem...

I'm not sure about the command lines, as i'm not on an unlocked bootloader (so never run fastboot mode), but it looks like you're getting hung up because of the SEMC flash driver...which i have had problems with before...

One thing Windows 8 is no better at than any other windows OS...is device drivers...I've had all kinds of trouble with different machines and an LT28at...

I would suggest starting by removing the device entirely from your machine through device manager...its not a big deal, it'll only take a few minutes...

USB connectivity set to MTP mode, set USB debugging to ON in dev options, and in xperia uncheck 'install pc companion' (you don't need that messing with anything)...also make sure pc companion is not running for all of this...

Phone on...plug in USB...let windows recognize and install the MTP driver...unplug phone and turn off...

Phone off...plug in USB...let windows install 'Android Device' something or other (forget what it calls that driver)...unplug phone, and leave off...

Phone off...hold volume down...plug in USB while holding volume down...let windows install SEMC Flash Device/S1 Boot Driver. Until i installed my phone on Windows 8 in this exact order, without letting other programs muddy it up...I was getting no where fast...but ever since, its worked great...

After that, you should have no issues with adb or other script services...If you're running PC companion, completely exit it before installing these drivers and when using any cmd prompts...same with flash tool...i don't know exactly what it is, but these phones seem to flip out if too many programs are trying for their attention haha...

also, make sure its not something completely obvious...such as if you're rooted, and super user is sitting behind a locked screen asking for connectivity permission, and you just didn't happen to check...that had me stumped for a good 5 minutes trying to reinstall cwm from a windows batch file yesterday...

THANKS

Thanks a lot for paying attention to this man. i really appreciate jotting down all that. one more question . I'll be doing as u said but u didn't mention anything of the xperia ion driver installation !!! do i need to install them via flashtool or somewhere else ? and if flashtool then why is there no name for xperia ion indrivers in flashtool ?

Thanks in advance buddy
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CronosTech:
HELP

AND YEAH MAN i reinstalled my windows due to some reason so now it is a fresh start and it'll be easier and cleaner this way so now what do u want me to do first ? i tried connecting my ion to my fresh windows 8 with only jdk and sdk installed without any other drivers and without flashtool and it came up like this

View attachment 2184848

so what do u want me to do . if possible tell me in a bit of detail so that i don't spoil things now........:(:(:(:(:):)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
ok bud, we'll figure this out...

to start, what exact phone do you have? is it actually an lt28h? Or is it just a LT28at, or 'i' with the JB .211 for the LT28h? And what are you trying to do, exactly? root the phone and get cwm on there? Or are you trying to do development of your own?

I'd start by deleting that device from your machine...just right click and uninstall device form the screen you just showed...

sdk and jdk, as well as the latest version of Java, shouldn't have any effect on this...

before doing what i posted above...install flash tool...and in the drivers folder...install the flash mode driver...that one is some how tied in with the way windows recognizes flash mode...so if you do that first, you're less likely to run into problems when you force install it (by plugging in the phone, while off, with the volume down pushed in)...it worked for me in the reverse order, but i got a second prompt for the 's1 boot driver' AFTER i installed the flash mode driver from the flash tool driver installer...

you DO NOT need ANY other drivers from that installer...it lists all kinds of different xperia phones...none of them are relevant to the Ion...that is, unless you need the fastboot driver too for an unlocked boot loader...but those are the only 2 you'd need...

after you've installed flash tool and that single driver (remember on windows 8 you have to go through some crazy process to install unsigned drivers...i can walk you through that if need be, you'll need a high level cmd prompt for it)...make sure you've fully closed out of flashtool, and are positive its not running...just do what i initially posted to install the actual phone drivers...

after you get that SEMC flash device/S1 boot driver stuff sorted...you can very easily root the phone and install cwm, with just 2 different scripts...thats all i did, as i'm on an Lt28at with locked boot loader...

I'd do it step by step right now with my Ion, but i totally f'd it up about 3 hours ago (not at all related to this, i was messing with a stock kernel to chase a majorly annoying gps crash/reboot bug...might've gone way too far)...

if you're running development, or need fast boot options...sorry, i'm out of experience at that point...but, if you're looking to get root on an Ion with JB, i can guide you through it very easily...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CronosTech:
OK man thanks a lot for all that explanation . well about your question I have a LT28h with deodexed .211 jb build . And I basically want my system to work out adb and fastboot so I can flash files or root my phone on different Roms. And I want to test some kernels too for which fastboot will be needed too . hope you can help
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
ok. Have you had this specific phone working on a windows 8 equipped machine?

your problem could be as simple as the infamous 'unsigned drivers' problem...flashtool's driver's are noted by windows as 'unlicensed' or 'unsigned'...where Vista and 7 would prompt you to install anyway, 8 requires a few additional steps first...In my case with windows 8...i saw the issues with flashtool, but never received any notification through PC companion...just saw that certain drivers were not installing properly no matter what i tried...sorry, i guess i should've started with this haha...

the SEMC flash device driver is the one windows doesn't get alone with very well...not sure why...

to set up windows to install unsigned drivers, follow this:

http://www.tabletroms.com/forums/vi...how-install-unsigned-drivers-windows-8-a.html

after completed...you can install the flash mode driver from flashtool without issue...and you can also finally get windows to stop flipping out when you connect the phone in either flash mode or fast boot mode...and install the damn driver...

i have no experience with this phone and fastboot mode...but i've done everything else you just mentioned with windows 8...so you'll definitely get this working...

Thanks budy its really work.

It’s pretty simple, you will need a rooted Verizon Note 2 and also use a modified Wifi Tether app.

Step 1. Download and install the modified Wifi Tether app:

Step 2. Run the Wifi Tether app and choose “Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)” for Device-Profile.

Step 3. Choose “Netd-Ndc (master)” for Setup Method.

Step 4. Make sure “Send Netd Max Client Cmd” is checked ON.

Step 5. And also make sure “Routing Fix” is checked ON.

Step 6. You can setup SSID and wifi encryption if you’d like. Once everything set up, simply start the Wifi Tether and try connecting to it from your computer or another wifi device.

it also work on other cell phone.

Hi

I am using GT i9500 stock firmware. I think my battety drains really fast

Any suggeations ??

Here are my battery stats

View attachment 2183788
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadeshmagic:
Well honestly speaking.....according to the screen shot.....your battery life is pretty good....i mean its run over 18hrs with 50%....thats really good

Anyway if you want more battery life...try these out

1. All your radios ( Wifi, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth,etc) are huge battery killers....use them only if you need to....i know mobile data and wifi are always needed.....so i suggest you use wifi over mobile data....the usual battery consumption is higher on 3G and 4G rather than wifi.

2. All the smart settings (smart pause,stay,scroll,and rotate) cause battery drainage too....so if you want to consume every last drop...i suggest to keep only the necessary ones on.

3. Same can be said about air gestures and air view.....the related sensors are always on....they are constantly monitoring whether you are going to use the motions....so keep only the essentials on.

4. Dont keep all your apps opened.....long press the home key and swipe away all the unnecessary opened apps....because this can prolong battery life as well.

5. There are little things like haptic feedback....keyboard vibrations and sounds....lock screen and dial pad sounds as well as others i may not have mentioned....these individually don't amount to a huge battery drain...but when all of these little elements are combined....they could waste a considerable amount of battery.

6. Even screen brightness tends to drain the battery...i suggest auto brightness or ...you need to keep sliding the brightness bar to reduce the excessive back-light. Also auto rotation is another one of those tiny battery killers.

7. Auto syncing data all the time leads to a huge battery drain....so i suggest you switch it off when not in use....you could save a bit more juice.

8. Use power saving mode to get even better battery life....it reduces the CPU level and slightly dims the screen.....and of course offs haptic feedback....these can be useful....especially if the CPU is running at a lower level...its battery consumption is less.

9.Dont drain your battery to 0%....i suggest you to to start charging at about 15-20%.....over discharging the battery can be harmful to your battery life...also dont over charge the battery for too long. The thing is...with these new Li-ion batteries....they installed a circuit that prevents the battery from over charging...but we should also not do it just cause we can right? If its charged to a 100% take it off the charger.

10. Well if you are still not happy with your battery life....check the XDA forums...they have really good tutorials regarding this.....also i suggest using 3rd party applications such as juice defender to aid you to get better battery life.....

Well as i did mention earlier.....you already have have pretty decent battery life....but one must try to get the maximum right? So yeah....hope this helped you...hope it gave you some idea as to what you are dealing with....good luck :)

And in that 22 hours..7 hours my cell is idle coz I am sleeping. And as of now in 1.5 houts my battery has drained about 10 percent. I used facebook for 5 mins 1 or 2 calle for abt 2 min each and 20 min music
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc_ecko28:
Yoir screen time?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberT3:
Your battery life seems just fine to me. And if you do the calculation 1.5h = 10% it means that your battery would last more than 10h with that usage, so getting about 4h of screen time (thats average for me) is definitely possible
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadeshmagic:
While you may not have done anything major....and you may have followed my steps....but it could also be the apps you use.....they maybe working in the background hogging your battery life....honestly it all comes down to the way each person uses his phone.....plus anyway your battery life seems to be pretty good anyway..... :)

Hi

If anyone can help with this I would be very grateful, I have two N7000's. One is loaded with Ultimate Rom and the other with Carbon Rom. I really liked some of the features of the Ultimate Rom that are not present on Carbon Rom.

The first is the widgets Ultimate Rom came with, I really like the music player widget and I can't find this anywhere on the Android market, does anyone know what it is called or know where a link to the APK can be found? Same goes for the stock weather/clock widget.

Secondly I know the framework for TW is different but is there anyway to get the SNote, SPlanner and screen shot functions to work with Carbon Rom? If not are there any decents alternatives?

Any help would really be appreciated :)

The only time difference is that if you every need to flash a PIT file, you'll need the one for the 32gb version. Or your phone will have the memory partition of a 16gb version.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Thank you everybody that answered.

Yes, that was to be expected - but currently the difference from 16GB to 32GB is about 150 (EUR or USD, depending on your zone), while a 64GB microSD is just 50, so you are basically paying 12x the price/GB :rolleyes:

So let me rephrase:

- are you using anything that really fills your internalSD partition?

- is there anything to dual-boot the S4? since on S3 that was one of my main internalSD uses, and even with that I never got to less than 4GB free!

- are the 32GB eMMC versions faster in any way?

- are the 32GB eMMC versions better in any way at error correction?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zibri:
They are NOT the same kind of flash.

Try to speed test both and you will see why.

Internal flash read/writes at about 50 mb/s while external sdcard write at about 10 (class 10) or less.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Of course internal vs external are not the same :rolleyes:

I was actually asking if internal 16GB is the same (speed, reliability / error correction) as internal 32GB!

Oh, and extra-note - there is a 64GB Sandisk extreme that claims 90mb/s read and 40mb/s write or so (non-phone tests) - I doubt S3 can get/keep those rates on it and it is twice more expensive than the 64GB Sandisk Ultra - which in very real-world tests is around 20mb/s read, over 10 mb/s write.
