service center and style shop is two different department, one is a showroom, the other is the repair center.

And about returning the phone to any service center, well it doesn't work that way, most countries dont accept import unit, you can only return your phone if your phone is officially registered to that particular country, some one may need to ask sony how to deal with this situation.

although if your unit is a european version, you should be able to return the phone in any countries within the european union.

correct me if i'm wrong

Do you know where in Kent?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] moonset:
I know the shop is different, but I suppose they are still under Sony? so maybe they should send the faulty product to their repair centre in their own way. Sending a phone by post seems a bit risky. And you sort of need to explain VERY WELL of your situation, otherwise they might just think they have got a random phone from someone.

And I live in UK, bought my phone in UK, it's a UK version. So the second problem isn't a problem.

No, I used the online chat on SonyMobile website. Then the agent sent me a link (specific for me I think) which is a form to fill in. then an email should be sent to you after you submit the form which includes the address to be sent to.

Not sure if you can just walk in the repair centre for repair even if you know the address.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RiotRick:
Somebody on a dutch forum (tweaker.net) already phoned ThePhoneHouse in another city. They already knew about the problem and said it was no problem to exchange the phone. Bring it in in with the box + all accessoires and they will swap it for a new one. And they have plenty in stock.

They couldn't tell if the current stock doesn't have this problem. But if you get another phone with the same problem, you can exchange it again, no problem.

I have had 3 and all have had the same issue to some extent.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RiotRick:
The one I have now has it very bad. My colleague also has an xperia s, the one he has is perfectly fine. We cannot see any yellow tinting on it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] eRixx:
Lol. That would be me :)

I have the phone in my hands right now. Nothing wrong with it so far, but it took about a week for the yellowing to show up the last time. Fingers crossed.

Something i did notice was the build quality. It seems a bit better with this one. No squeaky back-cover and the power button is much more rigid.

:p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dibdin:
I hope too once I get an email back from Sony telling nee what I need to do. Are you going to be sending yours off?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kms108:
yes, they are the same company, but a large company like this have different department and they follow procedures, they only deal with stuff which is related to there job descriptions and that is related to their department, the only thing they can do is give you the address or nearest services centre, whether the service centre will accept a imported unit for repair all remains in the sole descretion of the department. I know that if hong kong sony service centre accept a imported unit for repair there is a service charge for inspection and parts at extra cost, this gives you an idea how they work, but there are exceptions from countries to countries.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] moonset:
Mine isn't that bad so I think I will wait a bit.

And I have a feeling that the customer service person wasn't informed about the yellow tints issue... He was like talking about a general repair problem for any devices... and the link he gave me is for Sony Ericsson... there isn't a option for Xperia S (a drop-down list of all models).

And it's probably too early for Sony to have some "fixed" display for repairing I guess.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kms108:
I will demand a exchange and not a repair.:p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dibdin:
When I receive an email from Sony, I will post back what they said. The yellow tint/yellow spot on my display may not be as bad as some others but the fact that my display has it makes me very unhappy.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kms108:
The point is , it's not whether it has a little or alot of the tint, the main point is, it has it and you just keep thinking about it, even that you keep on saying you can accept it.:p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] awf:
Well gentleman after 3 weeks I have the yellow spot issue too however very slight on the bottom and top right corner a small circle.. When the phone cools down it disappears :@ :'(

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u3b54:
I'm on the hunt for a ROM that has proper proxy support that isn't one of the ICS ones. Most of the Sense based roms have the ability to add a proxy server under advanced WiFi prefs, but this only seems to work in the browser (and unreliably as far as I can tell); I need to be able to all outbound traffic via my network's proxy server.

Any ideas? (So far I've explored MildWild Oxygen, Leedroid, Runnymede, Redux 2ZM, and Nick's Phone 1.1)

what version of superuser app and what version of busybox are installed?

--edit--

are the apps force closing, but after they initially launch successfully?

in other words... the problem is not with granting root permission , but simply with stability?

try this...

go in the settings of superuser app and enable logging;

try to launch the apps that you are having problems with;

check superuser log to see if root permission was granted when apps were launched;

if permissions were granted the problem is not root access....

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ken2kold:
Ok i have a quick question about the Galaxy 5.0. My question is how to take it apart if i ever have any issues (repairs)? I own alot of electronics so its just in my nature to know how to take things apart "IF THEY NEED TO BE". I am a proud galaxy owner but just like any other mp3 such as the ipod touch we may come across disassembling. So any info would be helpful but video would solve my question.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
First, take out the SD card and unplug it from everything obviously.

There's 3 screws around the top and bottom. Two are under little white stickers, one is in the SD slot. If you carefully lift the stickers off with a razor blade you can put them back where they were.

Once you have the screws out, the back cover snaps off but it's pretty difficult. I usually work the plastic clips around the edge with my thumbnails. I start on the long sides of it, then move to the top, then the top corners. Once you pop the top end off, then work down to the bottom end while watching out for the headphone and usb ports.

The corners are pretty difficult to get undone, especially without a screwdriver.

Reinstalling the back cover is cake though, snap it together and 3 screws back in. Gotta pay attention to the headphone jack though, and there's a little chrome trim ring that goes around the headphone jack that sits in the back of the cover that you wanna make sure you don't lose.

It's really not difficult at all, just be patient with it.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] henk5066:
This is just to clarify, the screen is working, it is the capacitive buttons at the bottom (back home and menu) that are broken correct?

If yes then there are a few easy solutions

Use pacman rom/aokp/paranoid android rom and enable soft buttons (all three are variants of cyanogenmod with extra features.)

download from the play store a app that enables soft buttons

either way allows you to use software buttons instead of the capacitive ones, provided your touch screen works.

Hey all,

I just loaded up FC07 TAR from Calk's thread into Mobile Odin and hit flash firmware. It seems to be stuck on "Flashing.... Rebooting into recovery" for about 3-4 minutes now. (seems frozen)

Thanks in advance.

Yeah I have advice ... it doesn't work on our phone. :D

I've tried flashing both modem.bin files (pulled from a ZIP) and modem.tar files, and I haven't been able to get any of them to flash. Mobile Odin goes through the process that seems successful, but upon reboot the baseband doesn't change. Also, the modem flash happens way too fast, which indicates that it didn't do anything.

Chainfire knows about it. For now, you'll need to use CWM or PC Odin to flash your modem.

Thanks man! That's the answer I was looking for! :P

[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
I signed up! I bet it is GB 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. With minor bug fixes...
[Motorola Droid X2] strifejester:
I was thinking the same as litetaker. Moto and VZW just released some bug-fixes for the D2 and something else if I remember right. Probably the same with the X2. One thing I don't get is that they complain the LTE in the Tegra devices like the XOOM is what is holding up ICS since the WiFi version has it already. Basically the X2 is just a smaller XOOM and since it only has the CDMA portion why can't it run ICS. The Specs of my X2 are better than my Nexus S 4G and I have my ROM running 4.0.3 on that without issue. Being Tegra based they can't blame that unless there is something in the CDMA holding it up.
[Motorola Droid X2] pepz187:

[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:

[Motorola Droid X2] Gottoon:
I signed up today as well... I am thinking the same thing... it has to be a bug fix update.

I can't see them getting ICS out this quickly considering it was only about a month ago when it was put on the 'might be considered list'.

Motorola might move that fast enough to get it done... but VZW is slow.

Thanks for the heads-up, I hadn't read about this issue until seeing your post. Motorola clearly hates their customer base, viewing them as sheep to callously monetize.

I don't mean to go all Richard Stallman here, but Moto can't be trusted--they let us know that with the locked bootloader. That said, the DX2 is my last device...and NO way will I be a part of this soak test.

[Motorola Droid X2] gaad0701:
Well I am signed up and ready to go. I will let you guys know as soon as I can once it happens, I am not too worried since I know a guy that works at a retail store for Verizon and if it hard bricks I have a backup phone to rely on until he can get me a new X2.

Lets all hope and pray it is ICS though, who knows? Maybe Motorola feels bad for raping us with a locked boot loader and feels like giving us a little break for once.......:rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
It won't be ICS. I'm sure this is either an official 2.3.5 or possibly 2.3.6 update. The problem with 2.3.6 is there isn't a way to root it, from what I understand.

In any case, I signed up for it as well, but I'm probably going to hold off on applying it. I have Eclipse 2.1 running just fine, so I'm going to wait and see what this update is.

But, I highly doubt they have ICS ready to go for this phone. As it is, I got an email back from Motorola from my BBB complaint and they stated that ICS is not slated for the X2. I just got that email last week after constantly harping Motorola for status on unlocking the bootloader and getting ICS for the X2.
[Motorola Droid X2] gaad0701:
I remember reading that post on here. I agree that it is probably a lost cause and that they are leaving a lot of untapped potential in our phones. :(

On another note, out of pure curiosity, do you think that one could obtain this soak from the leaked 2.3.5 on here? I wonder if it would take still since it is not an official version.... :confused:

Stupid Motorola! :mad:
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Don't know. Again, we don't know if this soak test is for 2.3.5, 2.3.6 or something else. Until either you or someone else applies it, we won't know. If it's a 2.3.5 upgrade, I would assume it's different from what has been obtained from the Cheesecake project (at least I would HOPE they would have fixed the WiFi issue that nags a lot of people).
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
That 2.3.5 leak should of been no where close to final version besides that was leaked last year and its been months. That update also fixed sooo much :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid X2] gaad0701:
I hear that, I have not done a soak test before so I was not sure how it worked. That is why I asked if people thought it would work with the leaked 2.3.5

Does the soak come as a link in an email or something? Or do they send it to specific devices based on the information we provide in the survey when we sign up for it?

Sorry for going awry on this. I am just curious and bored at work..... :p
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
It's a selective ota based on your meid. You will get an email beforehand. I will get it but I will allow the DL then say "later" to the next popup. Then go to /cache and change the .zip to zipp. Else it will keep nagging you. I'm gonna wait to see if rooting is an issue.

[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
No, you'll have to go back to 2.3.4, no rooting. Apparently, it will check for that. In fact, you can't have any of the stock apps frozen or removed. In other words, you'll have to SBF back to stock 2.3.4 and not root.

They stated in the survey you have to take that you MUST have your phone ready to go BEFORE they send out the soak test or else, you'll miss the update and they won't send it again. So, for those looking to do it, you should be on stock 2.3.4 right now and not rooted. I have an issue with that. Who knows when they'll send it out.
