Changing roms frequently - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Is changing my rom frequently harmful for my ray??

in long run, yes. flash memory got a read/write cycle limit too until it fails.
but that could be years before it actually happen, by that time u probably consider getting a new phone, or already got one. to quote from wikipedia
Some allow up to 100,000 write/erase cycles

U have a very contagious disease called ORD. (its true).
The long run which anonymous said would be really long. So its not much of an issue.

Im just curious but can frequent flashing of kernel lead to bad block sector? I saw some owner of xperia mdpi had these problem and unable to flash kernel eventhough their device is bootloader unlocked?
Soory for op for misleading your topic but i guest it related. Flashing rom and kernel

I do it frequently but I don't face any problem in it. May be it because I seldom stuck in bootlop or soft and hardbrick
Thank me if I do sth useful

Should i?

The arc(normal one) arrived cheap(589usd), i dont have the money but by december i will, should i upgrade to it? Or should i save my money and wait for a better upgrade?
My x10 is in top condition, no problems and i got a sgs1 as a backup phone brand new that i got in exchange of my old milestone
But the arc is so cool(or at least seems like it since i havent tested it)

Bad choice..
The arc is not worth it and has some build quality issues.
Keep your Money!
Soon we will have some new models (Several Dual Cores), and by the next year, expect some quads...

The body has been cracking for many users by the proximity sensor and se is trying to deny it.
Go to the arc forums and read the huge thread in general.
The x10 has build issues too, especially when it comes to the micro usb port. Many can't charge or flash radios or upgrade
That would be a dumb decision if you ask me specially for you who have a X10 & SG in good condition, Wait for a phone that beside looking cool actually worth the money & feel like an upgrade
i would keep my money and wait for a real upgrade next year, especially if you have 2 phones in great condition.
Yes, both phones are perfect, guess i got a (got to have the latest) fever going on
But with my x10 running 2.3 its not that outdated, and sgs still runs 2.1 but i dont even use it, i didnt planned to have it, i got it cause the store couldnt replace the milestone, its only a backup in case the x10 screws. At least is the amoled one

Change the file system, install a custom Rom and see how a truly good phone works

[HELP] Phone gets stuck

So i have a LWW (WT19i), I recently rooted it and flashed it.
I installed this rom about two weeks ago with CWM
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490166
i currently have my phone rooted and using MIUI, roottoolbox, titaniumbackup and stuff....
The weird thing is that, in the description of the ROM it says that unlocked bootloader is required,
but it was working perfectly with my locked bootloader, until yesterday.
The phone started crashing and freezing out of nowhere, apparently it had something to do with overclocking it
because I disabeled the overclocking and it worked a bit faster but just... not like it was working a week ago
it freezes sometimes, google chrome takes like two eternitys to load.
maybe it is because of the bootloader thingy??? i don't know...
and why did it work in the first place?!?!
does it mean CM works also?
so i guess the only thing i have to do is get a full wipe and install the ROM again? or maybe some other ROM
i really want to install CM9 it seems really interesting, but.... freaking bootloader....
So i'm kind of lost... i'm really lost.... apparently i can't use CM9.1 or MIUI because i dont have unlocked bootloader, but they work anyhow?
and i can't unlock it, i really have no idea how to do it. i've read like 158932 different tutorials and they are all different
some tell me i can't do it, it won't ever work and i should drown in my tears for all eternity, and others tell me i have to download freaking eclipse
and start programing in java...
i just get lost with that many incoherence....
I really want to install a nice and comfortable rom so i can rest and use the phone
im just tired of flashing and rooting and reflashing.
....CM9... 10?... looks nice.....
so, are there any sugestions ???? what should i do?
should i just reinstall MIUI what if it gets slow again ?
also... can someone please for the love of Godzilla explain me how can i unlock my bootloader ?? if it is possible
you guys probably get this a lot but sorry for my poor english...
thanks a lot
bye

Does you phone has Sim lock? ok so u can check this by hiting the *#*#7378423#*#* and go to service info/ SIM lock. see the pic? if it has any lock, you can try this it may work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675718 good luck and anything just let us know
From my opinion its impossible to unlock bootloader if its not allowed. If you want the taste of custom rom then change the phone

WiFi problem

Hello friends is there any way to increase the WiFi connectivity?? I'm currently using Real ICS lite r4 and kernal panic.
My friend uses the laptop's WiFi greatly all the time but my st15i can't even connect to the WiFi.. I thought laptops have high connectivity than mobile but his Samsung galaxy ace also connects to WiFi and he can browse with ease(though he can't download). The WiFi is common WiFi in our hostel campus, its security is open but we have to input the ip address manualy in order to connect. So is there any app for that? Or is there any tweaks?

There are few tweaks in tiwlan.ini. Check my tutorial in my sig.
That's all you can do. The max you can get from your phone, you would have to do deep kernel editing to make the wifi stronger, at the same time hoping to not f**k it up.

Checked it, its already changed to the values you mentioned , bro...:banghead:
No luck..
(btw I'm using a custom rom)
I actually tried many custom ROM and Custom Kernal still I can't use the WiFi....
Im worried that often flashing Kernal and Rom degrades my mobile.. Is it true? Is there limit for flashing?

I think that's maybe a bit true but not so to be counting on every change you make to your phone. I have friends that test ROM's with their Xperia mini Pro and use them as main phone and they have no problem with battery life or device. So you can try out Kernels and ROM's but be careful in the way you do it
Good Luck!

Hmmmmm does often using your phone corrupt your memory card? Does often using your computer corrupt your hard drive? You can't really say! Failure of a memory storage device depends on numerous factors. Every memory storage device fails someday but that someday is unpredictable and that day must be atleast few years away (you are not going to use the same phone for another 6 years, are you???)

[SGS3] very deep sleep and cant wake up

I am not sure this was posted or not, however if it has, please point me to the right direction as I am not able to find it.
Situation:-
Using the phone as per normal. It auto lock or manual lock it. Wanna unlock/wake up the phone it doesnt. This happened once in awhile not sure when as unable to determine the cause as sometimes running a game and I lock it and sometimes lock it without running anything i.e. back to home. To wake up, I reboot the phone by long pressing on/off button. Was using CheckRom ICS... And at one occurance the phone really died on me and unable to reboot no matter what I did. Sent in to SC and got back a new Motherboard.
Now it is happening again. Now in JB 4.1.2 (OmegaRom). The phone just fell in to a deep sleep and cant wake up unless I reboot the phone. I hope I dont get the forever slumber/sudden death situation again.
Anyone can give guidance or advise on how to check what is the matter or anyone having the same experience?
Flash back to stock and check if it occurs. If it does use triangle away and send it back in mate

Even I love my s3 but I love note 2 even more and I am buying a note 2....the main reason I am selling it is if it conk out one day here in India it's very difficult to claim warranty we really need to slug it out with Samsung India and I don't have the time or patience to do that...

happened to me too
I don't recall it happened to me while using stock touchwiz roms.
However, since I've moved to AOSP roms (first AOKP M1 and then JellyBam), it happened to me 3 or 4 times now.
Do you get it also on touchwiz roms? Which OmegaRom are you using?
Wich kernel are using my mates? Maybe that is problem, combination firmware and kernel...
Regards
using latest OmegaRom... as mentioned... first happened in CheckROm and even in Wanam...
Was using siyah kernel... so now testing Perseus and see wtr this happened or not...
Just happened when I have monster warlord running and locked it.. when I unlock... it happened again... must be something like not enuf ram or went into deep sleep... very strange indeed. Nevertheless change to Perseus to test out different kernel for now...

Download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check&hl=en and post the screenshot. It might be SDS
Same happened with my phone. Go to see what it's up to and suddenly its not responding. The only option is to hold power down until it reboots.
It would also do it on in coming calls and managed to delete a text which arrived shortly before it froze.
Hoped upgrading to the latest firmware would help, didn't. Going without root, nope. Freezing apps in Titanium, still no joy.
Finally this morning I had enough and went for a full wipe. Very little installed but no problems since.
Would suggest doing the same, especially if you plan to sell the phone anyway.

Have the same problem with mine, using the latest wanam stock rom and every now and again the phone will either just restart or lock with the screen off (led notification will keep blinking however).
Just trying the official Vodafone rom now through Odin. If this doesn't solve it I think the phone will have to go back.
To note: issue appeared after installing some root apps. Notably adfree and beats drivers. Anybody else have either installed?

When did it happen? Was it around Wednesday last week? Just thinking that maybe an updated app or something?
I have now updated again using kies with the official 4.1.2. I have no problems with restarts when using the stock apps. I have however had issues with the google servers and now believe this to have been the main reason for the crashes earlier (Christmas new phone activation traffic?).
Out of interest, have you been running adfree or the beats audio driver? I had mine working all day yesterday, installed both and then the hangs started coming back again.
Also worth noting that adfree now states that a newer version is available when loading up, but non exists (that i know of?)

I do run AdFree, and yeah, I saw the notice about the new version - it's a different app entirely... still called AdFree, uninstall the old one, and install the new one. Not sure why they did that.
I'm at a loss - I just reinstalled XELL4, and it's still doing it. Short of doing a full wipe and starting afresh (which I really can't be bothered with), I don't know what else to try. Was working fine up until now.

DON'T INSTALL SetCPU!!

As the title says, don't do it.
I did it, and limited the cpu to 300mhz while the screen was off, then it didn't charge out of the blue.
Restarted it, boot loops.
Now I'm repairing through Companion, and that's a PITA, since I will lose every single thing I had on internal memory.:crying::crying:
quick edit: phone doesn't turn on at all, even after repairing it. I don't know what to do.

you need to do a full repair. return to stock. Perhaps even flash the .510 FTF...
- I use setCPU, and give max at 2000 (only 150mhz below max) and works fine. Max temp is now 78 degrees... before it was high 80's...
I actually set it to 300mhz just for the screen off...
Tried to repair it through PC Companion, Sony Bridge, and finally used SUS.
The process goes on smoothly, until i unplug the phone and it keeps boot looping.
By the way, the loop shows the Sony logo, sometimes it briefly fashes the same logo on the top or bottom of the screen, sometimes it flashes just a dotted line, sometimes the logo fades away.
I'm contacting the repair centre once it's open.
I thought Sony devices were almost unbrickable, well I guess i found a fu#%ing way to brick it.
An what if I had unlocked the bootloader? In this state you can't even relock it I guess.
I'm so pissed off right now.

Select flash mode, flash your ftf (make sure to check wipe data)
should do it

I honestly could have done that, but I didn't have the right ftf (they all were for 6802 and the ones for the 6833 were offline), and I actually went for warranty for the back cover that was lifting on the lower right corner too...

Flashtool should fix the problem since the phone only bootloops. If it doesn't boot at all then the CPU is the problem.

I'm advising none.
This device doesn't need an extended battery life.
You always get more than one day even with extensive use...
Don't mess with CPU settings, wait for a dedicated kernel with dedicated settings.

Dear Togari Owners,
On my Xperia Z(yuga), from completely bricked phone, I can flash kernel with recovery via fastboot. When you have recovery, you can flash rom like CM, via adb sideload. In this situation you can copy any important files to your PC easily. - Recover bricked phone and needed files from internal storage. After that you can flash back stock rom via flashtool.
My question: Can you do the same steps on your Xperia Z Ultra?

I don't understand how you address your post to "Honami lovers" and in the end ask a question about the Z Ultra (Togari)...
Anyway, I'm guess you could flash via flashtool and restore the device, but I didn't have the time and I had another hardware related problem anyway.
Oh and by the way, all the aforementioned steps you described are only possible with an unlocked bootloader, which I didn't have at the time.

You can't understand me, because I'm stupid and I made one big mistake. :banghead:
Also, forget my 2000years old research, cause your bootloader is locked

SetCPU can be installed and work just fine, only thing is to know how to use it. This is unfair to troll about this app that work well, it give bad image for the dev and the true problem do not come from the app but from the user.
And with any app modifying CPU freq and voltage there is one almighty rule "while testing never enable set on boot" or you need to have an unlocked bootloader and adb experience for can safely remove the app and its settings without having to wipe and flash and in some case need to flash the boot.img.
