[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
On my Sony KDL tv the option is

Home Button

Setup/Hdmi Set Up/Control For HDMI = On

Yes HDMI 3 was just the 3rd HDMI input on the TV meaning the HDMI control is not exclusive to HDMI input 1

There is an option on the XS too that needs to be checked about Remote Control.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

One other thing I noticed today, when you run the TV launcher if you scroll the icons with your finger on the screen before using the tv remote then the remote wont work. I had to press the home tab on the phone to close tv launcher and re run it then dont touch the screen with your finger, try the tv remote first.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] denaz:
I had the same issue with my sony kdl.

The first thing i had to do was to update the tv firmware!

Then, what i did was to plug the xperia to the tv via hdmi and launch the tv app.

Then on the tv i've launched the "discover hdmi peripheals". The tv saw the phone and then i was able to use the remote to control the phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Subhan222:
Ok I think I got few things to try on by the time I get home.

Also how to update tv firmware.

I would like to do that if it resolves everything.

Thanks to all of you. :-)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Subhan222:
tried almost everything but no luck :(

Here is the outcome:

My KDL40D3500 only has 2 HDMI sockets

On my remote (RM-ED009) I do not have any Home key.

I guess the MENU key is equivalent to that.

Menu-->Settings-->Set-up-->HDMI Setup contains following

HDMI Control ------------- ON

Auto Device Off ---------- ON

Auto TV On -------------- ON

Device List Update

HDMI Device List

there is nothin appeared in HDMI Device List even after doing Device List Update.

Second thing is as below:

Menu --> External Inputs --> HDMI Device Selection (greyed out when xperia is not connected)

When connected i select this option and it displays a list saying Player 1 (only in the list)

also sometimes player 1 and Player 2, which is same as the text appears on the left hand top corner of the TV.

Even i select, it says on the bottom right hand corner.

"Launching. Please wait."

then after couple of seconds

"Communication failed. please check your cable or connection."

Also i am surprise i cannot see any specific setting to BRAVIA as well.

The only thing left is to update the firmware of Sony KDL, but i dont know how to do that. looking on internet for this, if anyone knows how to update it ?

On xperia option about remote control is checked.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
Very odd :confused:

When I connect my phone to the tv the tv says "Cell Phone" does yours?

Dont forget once you run the tv launcher (the screen with a few apps along the bottom and music player at the top not your normal phone home screen) dont touch the screen again, it seems you can either use the remote or your finger not both. If you use your finger you have to repeat the connection process without touching the screen for the remote to work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Subhan222:
Mine does not detect it at all. so nothing like cell phone

Only this happens when i connect phone

"Menu --> External Inputs --> HDMI Device Selection (greyed out when xperia is not connected)

When connected i select this option and it displays a list saying Player 1 (only in the list)

also sometimes player 1 and Player 2, which is same as the text appears on the left hand top corner of the TV."

i think i should give up, xperia s is not worth wasting time.

"on ur face SONY"

btw my phone also developed "yellow tint" on screen if used intensively for about 5-10 mins

this is apparently happened to lot of other user... see talk.sonymobile and search for "yellow tint"
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] w. junior:
Any news?

Same here. I have a KLV-37NL14A and I can not control the XS using the remote control. The TV does not recognize the XS when I update the list on the menu.

Hello Subhan222,

In order for your issue to be resolved you will need to use a high speed HDMI cable in order for it to work. If you need any other assistance please use our eSupport website at esupport.sony.com

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Subhan222:
Hi... Not sure how u took my words but I mean to say high speed hdmi cable cannot be a solution for that. I know it works on many tv and my tv model is mentioned above. I also know it doesn't work on many tv's but I think behind this concept is to make every bravia technology virtually linked. My tv is bravia n made by Sony. If it is not supported on this tv I loose my trust on Sony. No big deal but it would be ideal to work in that. Not buying Sony product again. I have had every popular thing Sony has made but I think it's time to move on. Thanks Sony. N you guys to responding to old thread. I was already given up. Lols

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentuckyglider:
I haven't been able to find a solution from searching online, so I thought I'd check here.

I have a rooted Sanyo Zio running Android 2.2, kernel 2.6.32.9-perf, on Ting's service (a recently opened Sprint affiliate). Every so often, particularly when in poor reception, I receive notifications along the lines of:

[triangular caution sign]

Error Code 2048:

Network Busy.

Please try again.

Error Code 3000: Server Busy is also common.

These don't bother me much, as Ting just came out of beta and is working on ironing problems out.

However, these error codes are accompanied by an annoying chirp tone, which I want to disable. I've dug through the /system/media/audio folders looking for it, and can't find it. Does anyone know where this particular notification sound is, so I can kill it?

I've contacted Ting support to see if they can resolve these errors on their end, but they may not be able to help since I've rooted the phone.

I have tried installing all of the files, and failed. Has anyone else tried this out? Thanks in advance

I got this working on my galaxy tab 7.0 plus by simply following the directions. I GUI is pretty useless though. I know Ubuntu was interested at somepoint in a netbook or tablet UI. does that exist for android?
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
Tried it and it worked. When you run the terminal command sh ubuntu.sh, it will tell you in the first read out like so:

I'm using Incredikernel beta 6.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
before i installed ubuntu, i went into Rezound Toolkit and installed the "Inkredikernel".and then i installed ubuntu on my HTC Rezound following the instructions in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbunTRzEQCI and it works fine for me.

Tip: after you download "ubuntu.zip", create a folder called "ubuntu" and extract the ubuntu ZIP into the ubuntu folder you created, and THEN you can transfer to your SDcard.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidyeah:
Hey Guys,

I've installed the HyDrOG3N-ICS on my friends S II. I wanted to update the ROM so I've wiped everything and yes it was kind of dumb, I didn't do an update. So the problem is there is a problem with the Recovery that I can't mount the USB. So I've read on XDA that there is a Recovery where it is fixed. So I flashed it with Odin. But after the Recoveryupdate I couldn't mount the USB aswell, and I decided to mount the SD card with another smartphone. After I transferred the ROM's zipfile to his SD card, I wanted to flash it with the recovery. But its saying something like this: (copied from another thread cause I dont have to original message right now)

So I think with the "Fix" from the CWM I overflashed the correct kernel and I can't install the package because the CWM thinks I'm a different device than a S II. I've tried reflashing a few CF-Root kernels, but I dont really know the correct one since I can't boot the phone.

I hope you can help me there. It's kinda urgent because he needs his phone until tuesday. I have faith in XDA.

Greetings from germany and happy easter days

Download this rom, exctract it and you`ll got a tar file, boot in download mode(power+home button+vol down), open odin on you pc, connect you phone to pc, click PDA button on odin, choose that tar file, click start. After will reboot. Done

Video camera glitches

Same sort. of snags, refocussing during videos but worst keeps hanging at end of video recording screen goes black an phone hangs. Requires a reboot to sort.
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
Tested it indoor and outdoor, got a videoclip of 30sec where the focus goes blurry and back 5 times... *sigh*
[HTC One X] eeeeeee:
I don't know too much about cameras but I think they did a foolish thing with the focus.

Maybe I'm just going to sound really stupid, since I don't know a thing about cameras, but i would be glad if someone corrected me here.

The situation is that their algorithm decides there's a need for a re-focus, fine, so there's a question whether this algorithm can be improved or not, lets leave it for now.

What htc does, when the refocus is needed, they loop all the states of the focus and choose the best one .. That is wrong in my opinion, because it takes time from our video.

I believe they could try only two more states, one above and one under the current focus state, if the picture doesn't improve in either of them, there's no point in trying the others.

Hey there, I am creating a custom rom based in 2.3.6 (samsung). The rom is based in another Custom Rom and I have noticed that it has no wallpapers. I mean, that u press menu button in homescreen, then wallpaper, and the only option is Gallery, and I should also see "wallpapers" option.

I want to give that option in my rom so I decompiled base rom, extracted TwWallpaperChooser.apk, and introduced it into my rom's system app folder. That didn't solve the problem so I opened it and modify some .jpg files in res/drawable-hdpi, compiled again and insterted, but nothing.

Not all flash drives work. Mostly low-powered and low capacity ones only work. Try connecting to a powered hub, it should work, including external hard disk drives. (This is for the guy above me)

My other device, a cheap generic chinese tablet works with every flash drive I throw at it, 500Gb portable hard drive even. And it is connected directly, not via a powered hub. And any file system (NTFS, Fat, Fat32); ext and hfs/+ not tried.

Regarding how long is safe using usb otg, I have been watching movies from full battery down to empty usually 2 full-length movies and have no problems with it using xperia arc. Maybe that's the reason it won't charge and host at the same time. To protect the hardware. Once the phone is out of juice, you'll be forced to stop.

Hope that answers the perennial question of "How long is safe?" I have seen at almost all usb otg/host threads. ;)
