[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HearthC0re:
Done both of those multiple times in the past. does not change a thing.

It's the same behaviour back on Stock, om CM7/9, Stock ICS Beta and MIUIv3 (haven't tested the v4).

Clearing the cache does do nothing without a reboot, while a reboot most of the time fixes it allready.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
Probably a hardware fault. Maybe the connection with the camera is loose, or the part itself could be broken.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyink:
I think that is what's up with mine, as I said, on rare occasions it will work, then if I flip to the back cam and back to the front I get the cant connect message. Loose ribbon cable or something methinks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HearthC0re:
So.. Taking it apart and trying to fix it seems to be the only way for now.

Bummer, that there is no analytic software for purposes like this, yet.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savage24x:
It's soldered in place. Bad contacts then.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyink:
Sweet, sounds fun to fix.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrusalmighty:
As far as a way of checking & knowing if it's broken u can try *#*#7378423#*#* to enter service menu from phone dialer. At least that's the service menu number for r800i, I think Verizon's r800x was different number. You can check almost all parts of the phone But I don't remember if front & rear camera had an option.

Sent from my ICS KA twizz-elve
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyink:
I punch in that number, and at the very last digit (*) it erases everyting I just typed, but doesn't go to a service menu. Might be an ICS beta thing though..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HearthC0re:
Nope, getting the same on CM7 R800i.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayka:
Hi! I've been having some issues like the ones previously described (camera cannot connect, etc): most of the time the front camera doesn't work and when it actually does the image quality is awful. I tried using what you said to access service menu ( *#*#7378423#*#*) and it worked. It does have a rear & front camera option. Main camera works just fine. However, when I try to test the front camera it doesn't work. Is there any way to fix this like reinstalling the camera apk?

If so, where can I get the camera apk?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
you would need the service menu apk in /system/app for the service menu to work
[HTC One X] DazNoonan:
I just wondered is there any way of viewing the words the phone has saved as I've been typing as I have noticed a few times I've saved ones I didn't mean too. I would like to remove these from the dictionary if its possible?
[HTC One X] ZeroRilix:
This might help. This is in Sense 3.6, and is possibly similar in 4.0. Won't hurt to try anyway. Go to Settings-Language & Keyboard-and select the 3 line button in the right side next to Touch Input. It will be at the very bottom
[HTC One X] DazNoonan:
Thanks; I will try this on my replacement when it arrives later today and hopefully it will be the same for Sense 4.0
[HTC One X] pnnorth:
It's settings, language and keyboard, HTC sense input, personal dictionary and then edit personal dictionary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
I know some Verizon phones have this, but does anyone know how to disable LTE and force hspa on our note? Just would be a serious boost for battery life when LTE isn't needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Saurom ROM has that capability. You'll need to root and flash a ROM to get this afaik. I'm on Saurom 7.0 and it's functional.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Thanks for the reply. Was hoping i didnt need to root/flash atm. Do you notice battery life improvements with this mod?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Personally, I don't ever turn off LTE considering that the way it's supposed to work is that while in a non LTE market, it defaults to HSPA+ anyway. And I've read that the lack of LTE doesn't interfere with battery life. Maybe I'll try for a day and see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Yeah mine does drop to hspa inside some buildings but LTE blankets my entire county and surrounding ones. Basically I was just curious if forcing it to use hspa would conserve battery (in theory, it should). I'm surprised there aren't more threads addressing this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Korrupt1:
I'd like to figure this out too. I was using my Note with my old S2 sim card for a couple months (bought the Note used), and didn't know there was an upgraded SIM card for LTE users. Since upgrading to the LTE Sim chip, my signal bars are around 50% signal strength and I think it is the culprit to draining my battery so quickly. When I used the HSPA+ chip I always had full signal strength.

Are there any mods anyone knows of or ways to update any custom rom? I'm currently trying out the BlackStar ICS Rom.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Canadian ROMs have the Network Mode menu in settings. I don't believe it comes from the Radio so it must come from the settings.apk. Here is the settings.apk from the Rogers ICS ROM and it is already deodexed. Do a nand backup. Then copy this file to your system/app folder overwriting the one included in the ROM. Fix permissions and reboot your phone. You should then have the Network Mode menu in your settings. Let me know if it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I'm pulling the trigger now. . .

I'll let you know infive if it worked, ten if it didn't.

This could be GREAT!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Please do. I suspected this would work for some time now. When I installed the KOB4LT mod awhile back it installed the settings.apk from the GSII and it worked fine except there was no settings for the s-pen. Should work on any of the ICS NOTE stock deodexed ROMs. And if your stock ROM is not deodexed just delete or rename both the settings.apk and the settings.odex too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mutantblack:
This would be interesting. Definitely helpful since so many reviews said LTE kills battery faster than 3G.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
This is why I went with the Rogers stock ROM instead of the ATT version. Network Mode, HotSpot allowed, and no carrier ID on notification bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Daaarn!

Same restricted crud. I wiped before I rebooted. Well, I'll gladly be your test dummy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
That sux. Was hoping it would look like this: Maybe you need the modem too?? It can't be that hard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I am going to flash the modem you linked then reapply the settings.apk

Oh wait. . .I fixed it:

Back in 30 minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
I knew there was a simple solution. lol :silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Ok rogers modem and settings.apk onboard.

No toggle (crap)

No sounds (startup, system, notifications, music player, browser)

Any adjustment to a system setting freezes phone for 15 seconds

Laggy

Good modem (signal strength, fast wifi)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
There is good news. You are on the right track. I can *#2263# and get:

So this modem gives the band selection option (you already know that). But I haven't seen that menu in months!

I'm going to put back my original settings.apk.

turn off lte att note

i came across this thread as im looking for a desktop widget to turn lte off on my att note 3.

theres a few reasons for this. I hadnt thought about battery life until i read this but it cant help but increase battery life. this is because lte and hsm are two different radios. the gsm will always be on to controll the phone and sms functions and i believe the mms functions.

but simply here in the bay are most areas hspap seems to be faster.

lte upload is always faster and it penetrates buildings better. but i switch back and forth and do tests all the time.

this is a very urban area and hspap seems to have 5 bars a lot more than lte.

7.1

ill do a random test for you from where im typing this.

hspap 7.13 down 1.10 up. 5 bars. lte 4.12 down 3.76 up. 3 bars.

and as soon as i get to two bars lte seems to throttle below 1 down and stays at 3 up.

whereas hspap never goes below 6 down until its lost reception.

so anyhow i switch between the two without a rom by doing this

*#*#4636#*#*

device then i change the radio from lte/gsm auto to gsm auto.

that works immediately

now all that im lacking is a simpler one click way to change the setting.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TheOneAndOnlyDude:
Hi all!

have been reading in this (awesome) forum for a while now. so first, thanks for the great work!

at the moment i own a ZTE blade with CM7 and its getting old. so i wanted to buy a new phone. sadly, all the new and great phones are massively big. i dont want to have to bua a manpurse ;) so, the ray is one of the few phones that actually are small and where the community support (xda!) is great :)

the question is, is it intelligent/reasonable to buy a ray now? or should i wait? the xperia U is almost released and it has a dual core and nicer design (imo) but it also has a weaker battery and the worst part: no SD card slot.

as i want to use the phone as my mediaplayer as well, the 4gb of memory the U offers could be a bit of a pain.

so, my question:

is the ray that awesome that i should buy it now? or is there an alternative that you would recommend? what i expect from a phone:

small

nice screen resolution (>= 800x480)

reasonable battery

custom roms!

hope somebody can help me :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] melander:
IMHO, i would suggest you wait and see once Xperia U has been released and see it perform first.

if you are really sticking with the Sony brand and the listed specifications is what you prefer, the Xperia U is the closest one in comparison.

some downside (comparing it to ray) is the lower resolution camera 5MP, no SD card (4GB is not enough, at least 8GB or more), battery capacity is really low (not sure why?)

if i would choose my next Sony phone, I would go with the Xperia P.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Derzis:
Sony Experia U compared to Sony Ericsson Experia Ray

- better processor (dual core) and GPU (Mali400)

- no SD card slot

- lower quality camera

- smaller battery life

the decisive questions are

- how much better is the NovaThor U8500 CPU compared to Qualcomm Snapdragon SM8255 ?

- is the 8mpix ExmorR camera of Ray so much better than the simple 5mpix camera of U?

but even the NovaThor U8500 CPU is getting old...

so this is a hard decision, Experia Sola has the sd card but it will cost 50 euro more than Ray

here you can see Sola and Ray side by side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9gO11MG6ss
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TheOneAndOnlyDude:
future support for sola?

hi,

yes, the question is, how will the sola or U perform compared to the ray, because the ray is awesomely small.

this may be hard to answer, but would you think that it is likely that the Sola or U will get community support and custom roms like the 2011 xperia line?

the sola would be my fallback device. it is still reasonably small and has the sd slot. sadly a bad battery as well.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Camera quality cannot be said like this, it needs to be checked by comparing 2 photos.

Battery life needs to be tested also, as this information on websites are about phone in perfect conditions.

And how do you confirm that Mali400 is better than Adreno 205?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Derzis:
yes, of course and even more than the 2011 experia line

i think the 2012 experia line will be even more successfull with the community then the 2011 line

Mali400 is definitely better than Adreno 205, Samsung Galaxy S II uses the Mali400

"ARM's Mali-400 MP4 is the Fastest Smartphone GPU" http://www.anandtech.com/show/4760/arms-mali400-mp4-is-the-fastest-smartphone-gpufor-now

NovaThor uses a less powerfull version of Mali 400 than Samsung Galaxy S II

even Samsung I9070 Galaxy S Advance will use the same NovaThor 8500

but of course Mali400 and Adreno 205 are old now, in autumn new GPU will come Mali 604 vs Adreno 320

even Mali 604 is already old since it was announced in 2010 so in 2013 we get Mali 658

Xperia SX seems to be a real Xperia Ray successor: small & powerful. The problem is that international version is not announced yet. At the moment it's only available in Japan. But is probably worth waiting...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nehasingh:
Xperia Ray is the best smartphone, i'm the crispy display and far better battery backup. The phone was announced in 2011 and if you have never purchased it yet then i would like to suggest you Xperia U. Limitation with storage but good phone with looks and powerful configuration. :cowboy:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andrasandhi:
if i thinking about xperia U, i thinkings :

"is that too bad for a phone w/o sd slot?"

"how about future mod about this phone?" (like how can i backup my phone using CMW. but who knows....XDA devs are awesome)

"how far google can support this phone in the future?" (i believes that google will update this phone to JB)

For mostly users (dont really care about novathor,snapdragon or else), this may like some phone with best performance in its class (regarding from price n specs).

Xperia U's targeted for user whos like using cloudstorage more (the future ways) than natively sdcard.

USB OTG, dont forget that.

Xperia Sola Is most convenient one to your option

also remember that XDA users and developers will move to 2012 line

and Ray is 2011 ,by the time this devices will lose attention

or ,I think It's best if you waited for Google 5 Devices

I think those will be great options ,also will have the top XDA support + Google support

Do you wanna back your information up before installing a new firmware?

Don't worry, your phone is NOT bricked, not even soft-bricked. As long as you can still reach download mode (volume down, home, power) or recovery mode (volume up, home, power) everything is cool.

Try to get into recovery mode and wipe cache partition + dalvik cache (advanced). Also try to disable any init.d scripts which might be executed on start up.
