thank's i have reflashd my phone white 0.42.ce.ftf but it reboot's 5times befor starting and fota is brickt
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MarkMRL:
I found the kernel you were talking about, 7.4.4.

I flashed it and now it seems like I can OC up to 1.6.

Which frequency is the safest and most stable? 1.4 seemed to be safe as I used it for a couple of days.

Also, I noticed that for whatever reason, after I flash a new kernel some of the crapware such as McAfee and Uefa.com come back. I wonder why, but they are uninstallable so not a problem.

how to unlock bootloader of xperia mini st15i

- with safest way plss help me (firmware is 4.0.A.2.377)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well, choose whatever you like then. as general, the safe upper limit is 1.4Ghz. Above that, either it will cause hangup or hot devices or cpu reduced lifetime.

Yeah the bloatware returns but no biggie.

OK! Just Done Root!

previously i have a .62 firmware on my ray, because there's no root on .62 i followed some guide to downgrade to .42 to root. however i could not download anything on the market after the root. so i re-upgraded to .62 via pc companion. can somebody explain what was wrong with my phone not being able to download on the market? and by the way now my market stays on being just "market", not updating itself to playstore automatically. did i made something wrong with my phone? any answer would be greatly appreciated. thanks all.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
you need to give more detail on what you did, what software you used and how you flashed the phone.

Thanks!

For the market to update to Play Store, you need to have a strong network, open the Market (at Home) and let it stay for about ten 10 minutes. Then restart the phone, it will be automatically updated.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
On Gingerbread, someone said that we can do it with autoproxy.apk from Play Store. in ICS it's unneeded though, already embedded as an option when connecting to Wifi.

xperia ray root bootloop

Hello,

I have Xperia Ray 4.0.2.A.0.42 from TMobile CZ and it gone mad :) What I did:

1) rooted using Easy rooting toolkit (v4.0) - no errors

2) used Titanium Backup to Backup and Uninstall FB related APPs, Tetris Demo, Chinese KB and POBoxTouch. Titanim was giving me warning that some files have bad access rights - I let him to repair.

3) edited /system/build.prop using ES File Manager - just changed ro.camera.sound.forced from 1 to 0 - actually this was main reason to root device

4) restarted - RAY changed my green theme back to default blue theme

6) sometimes it reboots automatically again before I am able to unlock phone, sometimes it stays on locked screen and reboots after unlock

I find out turning on "Flight Mode" before unlocking phone prevents reboot with 50% success - it looks it reboots when I should enter SIM PIN.

So I can get to phone sometimes however UI is very laggy and "home" (com.sonyericsson.home) app crashes very often and it reboots randomly - luckily not that very often.

I googled and found some info about app crash and permissions.

I googled and found ROM Manager has option Fix Permissions.

I installed ROM Manager and started Fix Permission - nothing reported.

I installed CWM using SE Extreme Tweak Installer v1.8 - no errors.

I started ROM Manager and Fix Permissions - long report.

I rebooted - unfortunately problems remains.

I booted to CWM recovery and executed Wipe Cache Partition and Wipe Dalvik Cache.

I rebooted - unfortunately problems remains.

I probably did something wrong - I would like to know what :)

Is my only way to repair this mad RAY Flashtool now?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Better for you to force update the device from SE PC Companion and then redo all of your mod.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bitskull:

Hi. First. I already search and not found for solution. My ray BL unlocked and rooted. Then I tried to update to 2.3.4 via OTA and bricked. Already fix it. Decided to stay at 2.3.3 and wait for ICS. But the problem is I still got the "could not install" notification.

How to remove the notification and remove the ota update files?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Try deleting update center.apk either using titanium backup or root explorer if you mean the notification on the ray.

But I'm not sure what you mean:rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] r-care:
my problem is:

1-i unlocked bootloader w/o losing DRM

2-rooted

3-then got notification to update to 2.3.4 via OTA

4-after download the OTA files, my xperia ray restart and bricked.

5-already fix the brick

6-still got notification "could not install" every time i restart my phone

so, i think all the OTA files still in my internal memory (somewhere). i just need the specific location of the files and what files should i delete to make the notification of "could not install" dissappear.

thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Ah I c. Only way I can think of now is backup your Rom, then try doing a factory reset. If that doesn't do it, then restore again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
is your BL still unlocked, OTA will not install on the ray if the BL is unlocked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] r-care:
well, nice idea.

i know ota will not install, thats why i decided to stay on 2.3.3 and remove the ota files. i will re-lock the BL once the ICS for ray available

I just got my friends ray and it has a display problem

The thing is ; The display lights up but nothing can be seen on screen :/

After shaking it a bit it SOMETIMES shows the display

No cracks or anything on the display:O

Any fix ? :)

Im guessing its hardware but ill just use wotan server for a try :)

EDIT: I remove the battery when the screen goes dark and put it in again

And it works fine :O

Maybe a deep sleep glitch or something ? That prevents screen from lighting/displaying when awakened

EDIT : 2 after insereting battery and starting phone, screen stil not displaying ;(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
you might as well just lock the bootloader now, the ICS update should arrival anytime soon.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] El Brillantinas:
...Or what?

(sorry, =P)

I just did this test. The result was I can't unlock the bootloader of my Xperia Ray, it's not allowed.

I won't fall again into such a big risk. I just bricked a Xperia X8 two months ago trying to unlock the bootloader. Now it's a useless piece of... Phone.

Im looking forward to root and installing custom ROMs without needing to unlock the bootloader. What methods are available for me?

Unable to update via PC Companion (after root + mod)

Hello all, I've done most of the stuff described in this Ray forum, except that I keeped the Sony ROM .62 to be exact. (Unlocked boot loader, rooted, Clockwork Rom manager, Super-user, etc.)

I was just verifying if the ICS update was finally available throught PC Companion and seen that there was an update, yeah. Ok, I know it's not yet ICS but still : I get the message from PCComp that it can't update the Ray...

-Can anyone give me an explanation about why it's not possible to update "something" (I don't even know what it wants to update?)

-Will I have the same problem when it's time to update to the official ICS update ?

-How do I solve that issue ?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] joeTaco:
Sony's recent blog posts here and here are making me a bit less excited for ICS. They're saying that the 2011 Xperias don't have enough RAM to run stock ICS smoothly, and there might be some other issues as well.

Since plenty of users here are using ICS-based ROMs already, I have a question for you folks:

How are your phones performing - in terms of speed, smoothness, stability, and battery life - compared with GB?

The thing is, I like that Sony is treating us like adults with this kind of technical blog post, but I'm unsure why they chose to complain about ICS being RAM-hungry if Xperia users are already having smooth performance on ICS. And that's the impression I've had here so far.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KristianKenneth:
There is a custom ROM by team xperia which can be installed over stock kernel. It is in xperia arc but can be installed in all 2011 models. The ROM is gb. I am using Miui v4 which promises to be compatible with ICS stock kernel. You can install it once ICS is out.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Because users who'd like to unlock bootloader just for ICS Beta are most likely tech savvy, so they won't left the ICS Beta only @stock condition. We are applying many tweaks and as you can see so many custom ROM here are fast because the ROMs are ripped from all Sony bloatware. Put that in mind when Sony announce something in their blog. They don't talk only to us, they talk to general consumers who don't want to have a hassle while they keep downloading hundreds of apps from Market.

Occasional lags in games

Guys, recently I noticed that when playing a game (type of game doesn't matter - all of them runs smooth) I experience occasional lags. It looks like that: I'm playing a game and it suddenly Pauses (opens a game menu with a pause). I suspect some process in the background launches and takes high system resources. I can hit Resume and then continue playing, but sometimes it's pain in the ass, because it repeats every minute or even after few seconds.

Any idea what can cause such behavior? How can I troubleshoot that? I'm using Ray / Stock-based: kernel/rom Repack by 4pda.ru team with CPU OCed to 1,4 GHz.

Regards.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Try to change cpu governor to performance. Or you should freeze any other online service and turn off data/wifi while playing.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] longu:

now i'm using ICS JJ's Hybrid ROM

with sirkay's ICS 1x6 Xray Kernel v2 + Touch Recovery

the problem is that my pc companion detect the phone as Arc and not Ray...

in different thread, i've been suggested to check my build.prop...

i've check it and i found that one of the code

ro.semc.product.model=MT15i

i've change it to ST18i but it doesn't change anything.

pc companion still detect it as Arc...so what is actually happening??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] longu:
Changing the governor didn't help. Same issue.

It doesn't look like the processor problem. As I said: games works rather smooth but suddenly games opens the pause menu. It looks to me as some background process is taking the resources. I just don't know how to troubleshoot it.

It happens even while playing Angry Birds Seasons which isn't too demanding game for Xperia Ray.

Any more ideas?

just a note, but not related to the ray, the official ICS has been released in hong kong for the samsung GS2, but too much crashing and laggs, people are queuing up waiting for samsung to downgrade back to GB.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Baseband is the software that control radio communication. For majority of ROM, no changes of baseband is required, unless it's a major update, like 2.3.3 FW of Sony jumped into 4.0.3 ICS Beta, it's not possible because some related software configuration might be not compatible.
