I have a rogers sxs and followed the guide to root my sxs with a locked bootloader and after a few tries was successful.
now i reset my sxs before i started, i'm using the LT26_6.1.A.0.452_Generic_CH_1257-3740_ ftf as my daily.
after the update my sxs's battery lasted about 3 hours and has slowly been getting better, but still seems bad. can't get a full day in (8 hours).
also once a day the phone just reboots, i go to open or swipe and it hangs then it just reboots.
has anyone else had issue's like this? could it be the root procedure or an ics issue or both?
thanks for any tips.
So I take it no one else has issue's like mine?

I have the same phone/carrier and firmware, no issues at all. Can get a solid days worth of use before charge, I run a very light setup on my device; not sure if that has a huge difference.
Thanks.

I am on ICS, used the generic CH that was made available in the first thread on rooting ICS.
Thanks.
I was reading about cwm and maybe I will use it to flash a rom and see if it gets any better.
I'm tired off random apps hanging then android asking if I want to wait or force close.
Thanks for the replies.

Ok I have time this weekend to fix my phone but I would like some advice.
Do you think I should start all over again or can I just reset and reflash ics?
If I only flash the same ics will I loose root?
Thanks for any input.

Hello,
I'm new to these forums and android (with my new samsung vibrant)
I've only been using it for 2 weeks and I've only installed a few apps...safe and ones that shouldn't slow my phone down (juicedefender is the main one thats running mostly).
However, after the 1st 2 days or so, my phone started getting really laggy...I was hoping for froyo but it doesn't seem like its coming anytime soon...
What are my options at this point?
I've heard lagfix (idk which one to use) but I hear it could also cause problems?
ex: not being able to OTA update or update smoothly to an android update? or cause problems with apps?
Also, is it possible to UNDO the lag fix completely so that my phone were as if I never applied the lag fix or rooted it?
Thanks so much! I just want to get rid of this lag without having any issues arise regarding the phone / future updates!
Best bet I think, especially if your a newb like me, just go into the market and download ryanza oclf (one click lag fix). It sped my phone up noticeably, not even mentioning the outstanding quadrant scores I get now. Its a pretty simple process, just make sure you can enter recovery mode manually after rooting so you can apply packages/update.zip. And the app has the option to undo everything as well.

Uninstall Juice Defender, doesn't do anything, just keep Wifi off yourself when not in range.

If an update if pushed over the air, it will be here waiting for you to flash it probably 48 hours or so before it is pushed. If not it will be here within the hour, and you can flash at your leisure. We have very good developers on the Vibrant. Eugene373, Sombionix, JustAnotherCrowd, KingKlick, WesGarner, Koush (who seems to be helping with CM6 on Vibrant).
There is a new update for LG optimus one, v10d.
Sent from my LG-P500
Yeah. i did get the notification. Anyone has a changelog and what this brings to the table?
Its most prolly 2.2.2 i guess. But unless it brings some drastic improvements i'll skip. The lag fix kernel is working nicely for me. I dont have any other problems so i guess i'll stick to 2.2 for now.
Yes it has updated to 2.2.2. I did update it and my phone has become very slow. Apps are taking too much time load specially d browser. As of now it won't recommend anyone to upgrade.

I have the same question, did z4root work on this new firmware? I doubt it!
No, it doesn't. So be careful installing it.
Problem updating the phone
I just bought the phone a couple of days back. I wanted to update the phone s/w, from currently v10c, to v 10d. But every time I try and after accepting all the terms and conditions, midway through the process I get a message that the phone don't support S/W update. I have installed all the necessary driver. The programs recognises my phone. It even tells me that there is S/W update available for my phone. What could be the problem? Am I missing any setting on the phone that is restricting it from updating? Help me out please.
Is 2.2.2 faster than 2.2.1? 2.2.1 was way slower than 2.2, I downgraded, then rooted
For all who dread the upgrade on their rooted phones, gingerbreak 1.2 wirks like a charm. Phone is rooted in a manner similar to z4root. Happy rooting!!!

Firstly.. do you have a X10i?
If you do
Then flash the stock rom.
Flash BB.67
Then flash Wolf breaks rom once it's started up crash the server and reboot a few times.
Then flash the TW 007 patch for WB's rom.
Here is the link to the thread that has this fw:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
also i have posted my impressions on this fw on another thread, however i am copy pasting them again here, no prob:
I got it yesterday from xda and to be honest I was not sure whether to update or not, cause of the loss of apps and settings (I have to do them all over again cause I don’t like to back up stuff). I prefer to start fresh when I update. Anyways, to get to the point, the update at first did not seem any different, however after using it for a day it gives the phone a GREATLY improved interface. What I’ve noticed so far:
1. Touch screen is more responsive and the scrolling is smoother (I use launcherPro). I have also tried games like Fruit Ninja, Cut the Rope and Can Knockout 2 and there is a great improve on the touch response without lags or delays. In addition, touch seems more precise.
2. When I wake up the phone and unlock it it does not lag like it did in the previous firmware (.435)
3. Apps and in general everything I tap to open responds faster and has an animation (Not sure if that was from before, I noticed now)
4. I have noticed that the media volume is way higher, I hope I am not mistaken but to me it seems really higher than before. Not sure about the in-call volume though, I cannot really tell any difference, at least not a major one.
5. There is a difference into battery life definitely. I use ATK(Advanced task killer), Autokill set to Screen Off and Security level to Medium. After the upgrade the battery seems to drain slower. However, I cannot tell since I am using the phone for only one day, but i can say that after an normal use of the phone during the day, with several calls, gaming etc. my battery now is down to 73%
That is all i’ve noticed so far. I am not a tester, just a simple user. I have not run any benchmark or similar tests on the phone. I am posting this for the simple users that want to know what to expect from this upgrade.
P.S.: I have removed junk appks and enabled JIT right from the beggining of usage. I figured if I do it before actually use the phone it would reduce the chance for those apps to collect information and save it on the phone, thus improve maybe a bit the speed and space.

now that's weird. did you delete any apks from the phone? if yes make sure you didn't delete the wrong ones. you can either restore them if you have made a backup of them or reflash...
So did it work out? I have a X10a that I flashed to generic firmware and it says X10i now. I am in the USA and wondering if it would work here..

Technically this update is regional, not global, so there could be battery and signal issues if it is not designed for your region. Not enough senior USA X10a members have reported their results trying this German firmware on X10A yet. Try it, if you have trouble flash back, and report back on xda.
Works fine southeast North America x10a

Hey guys, seriously, I am really a fan of Sony or SE stuff. Got an Arc, an Arc S afterwards and now an additional Sony Tablet S. Latter worked so well until I did this stupid ICS update, the official one.
My tablet was rooted before, of course I lost that. That's not the problem, but I cannot use my tablet anymore. It is very slow, crashed quite often, loses its icons, i.e. it replaces the original icons with the android icon...and so on.
I tried to read all the topics here about ICS and official updates bla bla bla...
I just got one simple question:
Is there any ICS available which is working properly, with root access??? It should just be as stable as Honeycomb was.
I don't wanna own a tablet but not using it...and right now, I am quite depressed!
Thanks in advance for your help.
There's nothing you can do about replacing your firmware at the moment as our ics is not rootable.
If you haven't already, you should try doing a factory data reset. Clean things up and start again. My tab is very stable.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
No offence at all - I think that's the price paid for rooting. I have no problem at all with my tablet s that is not rooted before and affer the upgrade to ICS.
Yeah, rooting this tab is still playing with fire.. There's so many bricked tabs and other troubles that makes me not to root it for now.. And I'm not the dummy user, I have rooted all my other devices but not this one cause I don't get much confidence in the current process

Same here. My HC 3.2.1r2 tablet is rooted, but I'm now not sure I should've. It seems less stable and I certainly won't be upgrading to ICS until we get some more stability out of it.
Hello,
I have Sola for 6 months by now and it was a hell of a phone till i decided to upgrade to ICS. After that, my performance decreased signifcantly and I can't even do simple tasks. Tasks which a low end phone can do, even better then mine, such as the simple Galaxy Y S5360. And, yes, i get pissed when I look this phone behaving better then mine.
I tried to downgrade to GB, to upgrade to ICS, install a custom ROM of ICS and etc. Lately i tried Munjeni JellyBean, and after that, eXperience Innovation ROM. All of them have a good performance, but still, they do poorly then the Galaxy Y.
I miss my performance and i want to ask you guys, how the hell can i have my phone acting like a real dual-core phone?
Hope you guys can help me
Thanks

The jb roms are not really stable yet. You can try experience v2 rom which is ics based rom and then if you have an unlocked bootloader u can change kernels or even oc ur device. And also what di you mean by slower?

I mean that i can't even multitask with dolphin browser and some other app without having major slowliness in the phone. Or anything that my phone can possibly do (by his specs) and is not being able to do it. I have to uninstall Facebook app and Messenger app cause they crap the hell out of my phone.
Won't the GB experience would be faster/more efficient? Can't you guys reccomend me any "THE ****" rom for Sola? I mean...a kernel and a rom that can really bring me the experience of having a good phone (again).

Root it and debloat it asap. It would fly on and won't get back to Earth then, I bet.
Back up always before doing stuff
Before even thinking about installing new roms, kernels,mods, tweaks.. anything be sure that you've backed up using recovery and have saved it not only on your phone but your pc also.. that way if anything f***s up, all you need to do is restore and your saved.
Okay, i need your guys help again.
My phone did great till now, but its kinda slow already. So, i want to upgrade the kernel/rom/whatever to make it fly again. Would you guys recommend me some updates?
I was thinking of "eXperience Innovation" or maybe "Ultimate Rom V11". Those roms will make my phone better? As i said previously, I just need my phone behaving like a dual-core powerful phone as it is.
Thanks :cyclops:
Install cm9 or cm10.1. best roms for our phones, hands down
I suggest that you must try project xvr rom, its more stable and really smooth, no problem with multitasking, etc.
