I was test it with Service Setting Menu ( *#*#7378423#*#*) and bellow result.

I make line from top to bottom,but the line break on untouchable area that i said.On top screen and on right bottom.

I was update firmware to 4.0.2.A.0.62 but that cannot fix the problem.

Sometimes i have problem too with my home,back and menu key.Its gonna crazy vibrate when heat about 45 celcius.

I have read another thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1387605 ) that have simillar problem with me,but that on Xperia Mini.Can it apply on my Xperia Active and how?

Have i put my xperia active to dealer for fix it?

Thanks

i have a friend with a mini and he just took the phone to the service center for recalibration.

if your comfortable doing the steps indicated in the thread then go ahead,

but if units is still under warranty i would recommend just taking it to the service center.

Hello there, i have the same problem.with my touchscreen...i also had the same problem with the back buttons etc. But i sent it to a service centre,and (as the receipt says) they changed the shield can...it was getting overheat and the back button was presswd on it's own... I thnk you should send it to a service centre ;)

I thnk i.helped you :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Titanicology:
How long will it take if I send mine also
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Depends on the shop.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Titanicology:
How long did it take for the guys who experienced it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Titanicology:
I need some answer. Thank you! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Syris:
I work in a PhoneHouse (cellphone shop) and normally takes around 2-3 weeks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Be patient, it will take some time before people check this thread and post the answer.

As I said, it depends on the shop, how many other phones need to be repaired, if the parts are available etc.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4y0:
Hi guys,

Current situation

I haven't been able to use my phone for a good day now and I been busy reading guides, trying out stuff for a bunch of hours now. I thought it was time to ask you guys. Currently this is the only thing I'm able to do:

When I boot normally its stuck on the black screen with Samsung Galaxy Note on it.

When I boot with volume down, a screen popups up if I'm sure than press volume up. After that I'm in ODIN mode (says so with red letters in the left top). Below that it says: PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7000 , CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO , CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL.

In the middle of the screen below the Android guy it says: Downloading... Do not turn of target !! (I'm not really sure if its suposed to say downloading there, while its not downloading anything?)

What I did so far

I came from a gingerbread Rocket ROM and decided to try out the ICS Stunner rom. I downloaded the ROM and read the install discription. I pretty much went into CWM right away to install the zip (rom) from SD card. It did work and ofcourse everything was still there cause I didnt wipe anything. But I noticed that a bunch of things didn't work and a lot of programs where crashing. I assumed I must have missed a step so I decided to go with the 'Squeaky Clean' install, which was posted on the team-passion website.

This was the last time I was able to get into CWM and connect my phone true USB with my laptop. Because I did the following steps:

Reboot in to ClockworkMod Recovery.

Format the following:

- Wipe Data/Factory Reset

- Wipe Cache Partition

**Enter 'Mounts and Storage'**

- Format everything it will allow you to

**Go Back, enter 'Advanced'**

-Wipe Dalvik Cache

-Wipe Battery Stats

**Go Back to main menu, reboot system**

The next step on that list is: Remove your battery and boot up into 'Download Mode'. But the only mode I am getting into is the ODIN MODE where it already says 'Downloading...'. When I try to flash using ODIN, it isn't able to setup the connection. It does identify that the phone is connected because the ID:COM is yellow on 0:[COM3]. It didn't before, but after reading somewere that it might help to install Kies for the drivers it did.

Also tried "InitialCFRootFlasher" and "DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su" but both arent able to establish the connection. Just like ODIN.

What I'd like to do

I'd prefer going with the ICS Stunner ROM, seeing thats how this all started. But currently I'd settle for anything working, because being phoneless for a day is pretty anoying hehe.

What do you guys suggest?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisahara:
I really don't know how u understood the process. But just don't screw this. Go download any of the pre rooted odex rom -link in my signature - and flash it via odin.

Or any rootable rom from dr ketan's thread - link in my signature - and follow the steps mentioned there to the Dot slowly and calmly. Just get to GB and rooted. Then report here. Will tell u how to go to ics stunner after that.

BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4y0:
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm currently downloading one of the prerooted roms from your signature. However it would suprise me if ODIN allows me to install these seeing it can't really connect to the phone. Am I suposed to be in the 'Downloading... Do not turn of target !!' screen on my phone, while connected to laptop true USB?

Will update once I'v got it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisahara:
Yup u need to be in that mode. The odin on your PC should show the Com port as yellow. If it doesnt then there is some drivers problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4y0:
It is connected yeah, the com port is shown as yellow. After loading any rom in PDA, Phone or Bootloader and only checking auto reboot and f. reset time this is what happens:

<ID:0/003> Added!!

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

And thats where its hanging, nothing on the phone screen is changing.

I don't remember the screen saying 'Downloading..' last time I flashed something. It's already saying that when I enter the screen, when its not downloading anything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4y0:
Apparently I'm not able to make edits yet here so heres another post after figuring out how to load these files:

It is connected yeah, the com port is shown as yellow. After loading the three files in ODIN under PDA, PHONE and CSC just like on the screenshot in your signature. And only checking 'Auto reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' the following happens:

<ID:0/003> Added!!

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000XXLA6.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> MODEM.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> CSC_N7000XEULA1_XEU.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4y0:
Done! I'm still not sure what went wrong, I think placing the files in the wrong place in ODIN. Got a tip from someone how to place them and they worked in one go. Pretty weird cause I was using the same setup as the XDA guide post.

Main problem is solved now, I'll have to look into the ICS thing now. :) Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisahara:
Sorry was away so couldnt reply. The setup shown i xda should work perfectly. Anyways its good to know that you got all things settled. You can install the ICS Stunner (no touchwiz and no samsung apps) if you so want. Remember to backup your data as you will have to wipe data for going to ICS. From rooted GB install mobile odin then download the lp1 repack from my signature and after all that is done reboot to recovery clear caches and data and flash stunner (download the latest build by clicking Stunner in my signature) clear caches and data and reboot.

* Triangle away is required only when you flash lp1 through PC Odin.*
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4y0:
Ended up using the mobile odin application, works like a charm.

Thanks for your help!

You are welcome. Glad it all worked for you. Hitting some thanks button will be good too :D LOL

Hi all,

anyone knows how to make a full backup of a stock ROM of the Galaxy nexus? I want to make a recovery backup before start to hack and unlock bootloader, if it's possible...

Thanks for any answer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Culex316:
Make a nandroid backup with Clockwork mod. Search for guides in the forum
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voidthedroid:
^ wont really help as the OP stated before root. Check this out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420351 should be what you are looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you are running 4.0.2 or 4.0.2, root using this method, then install CWM, and do a full backup.

The method posted just before mine will not give you a full backup.

I haved Backupped and now I am ready to flash the yakju build... Thank you for all!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Just know that the radio and bootloader aren't backed up so those you're gonna have to flash manually if you ever wanna go back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deedend:
I have used 3 different methods for the backup, the 3 described above; I have a img of efs partition, various img of the various partitions (included another copy of efs), and a .ba file. Finally I have a backup maded with CWM... I hope that in the unlucky case of a brick it will be enough.

Hey guys,

Had the One X for two weeks. The screen in particular is really sharp and nice. Though it uses tegra 3, the amount of lag can still be seen.. and the battery really sucks. Rooted and custom roms doesnt solve all this so...

Have any of you guys used both and can comment if its worth the trade?(Have a friend that wants to trade). I really like Sony and its software optimisations (have the tablet s and used a arc previously )

Please share some opinions on this.

Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nl2008:
You should change to Xperia S like i did. I'm regret to buy one X. My Xperia S never have any yellow tint issue, just perfect :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ItsMyMama:
Just exactly how bad is this? Is it really visible or something minor?

Care to eleaborate on why the xperia is better?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
It's not most of us, its 50/50 of the registered users on the forum...

I still have my 12w8 phone, and my partner as well, and we have no sign of yellow tint (both phones above 40 multiple times)

It's pretty much a lottery if you get the yellow tint, but if you do (unless you order the phone from ebay or so) you can get it fixed/replaced.

The signs can vary, to a light blotch to rather large. Sony has in most countries acknowledged the problem, and will fix it under warranty.

Anyways, in the screen problem thread, there's info with pictures around. It seems to not be limited by batch number, and the problems vary between the devices.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] somemadcaaant:
I highly highly doubt it's 50% of the phones in current rotation thru out the world, the One X has this issue also, more likely its as Sony has stated a small percentage that has this screen glitch which u can take back for a clean swap.

This can affected nearly all phones.

Cant really comment on the battery performance of the One X but the screen lag happens in all phones, more then likely future roms will lesson the signs of any lag as they experiment with it more, why not give the phone a few months u haven't had it anywhere near long enough to make these kinds of judgments imo.

The Xperia S and One X are great phones, top of the line and brand new.

No screen issues on my XPS 12w9 version here.

-smc
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
that's why i said "Registered users on the forum" ;)

There was a poll done on the forum and it was about 50%, and yea I agree, it isn't anywhere near a majority.

I believe Sony even said it was a small percentage, and it could even be that the percentage on the forum is about the only people experiencing it or even noticing it :P who knows.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] idtyu:
If hardware specification ( which is crazy for a phone ) , maybe camera and HTC sense is important for you , don't switch.

But anything else , Xperia wins . The reception(signal) , GPS , screen , sound ( however you will have to play around a bit with the eq) , user-friendliness ( that depends, for me , a LED notification light, the timescape, and the Xperia UI is something i cannot live without) and of course developer support ( which HTC locks its bootloader, and rooting your device will still void your warranty if i am not wrong. Sony doesn't, they will just restore it back ... ) .

But hardware specification still matters to a lot, people have the mentality that quad-core on a phone is so very essential ...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ItsMyMama:
I like sense tbh. But the software just cant take full advantage of Tegra 3 + the ram.

ROMs will make a difference but HTC themselves thinks that the battery is normal. This is what turns me off.. future updates may or may not improve battery unlike the Xperia which I heard has updates to improve battery.

I guess I will go to the store to see the yellow tint and compare both..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] belek1979:
I think One uses 5th core 2 operate a phone. tegra runs in a stress, I guess...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kitsVA:
I used both for a week or two extensively and ended selling both. One X felt too huge, boring look, Sense belongs to Windows Mobile 6.5 world. While there are ways to make it faster and smoother with other launchers and ROMs, i prefer the stock to be one of the best options like Xperia.

Xperia S felt too long than it needs to be for its screen size, too thick, Capacitive buttons that need practice to get right, and the cover to USB port is meaningless.

Waiting for Xperia P even though the dimensions are again too big for 4"screen. I just love/prefer Sony designs and UI.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electrash:
Xperia S is a way faster then One X and less battery cosumption.

To prove that, watch on youtube Xperia S VS HTC One X.

Camera is faster on sxs, browsing is faster on sxs (just to mention we still dont have ICS)

which improve this to things a LOT.

Yellow tint issue

Guys, what i noticed about the yellow tint issue. If you have a device from 12W11 and higher, you won't have the yellow tint issue. Most devices beneath have that issue ****.

If you open your batterycover you'll see an number. for example 12w09 you will most chance of a yellow tinted screen :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dibdin:
I had one 12W11 which had both the hotspot and yellow tint. Other users have experienced yellow tint with batches of a later date than W11 too
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kdroid79:
i had a xps from batch 12w12 - yellow tint at the bottom and the top corners. i think at the end of the day its like a coin flip, you either get the tint or not. still waiting on my replacement.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Razje:
I have the Xperia S and my girlfriend has the One X.

Both great phones, but i'm a tiny bit disappointed by the One X

I don't know if it's because of Sense or because of the optimization from HTC.

But it feels like the One X has more lag and stutters than the Xperia S.

Xperia S is always so smooth, it almost never lags or stutters in any way.

And imo the Xperia S has great batterylife for such a powerfull phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] im_iceman:
Sony will replace if you get the yellow tint problem.. Don't worry about that.. I know a couple of people who had both and have both sold the HTC.. Can't go wrong with the Sony.. Quad core seems to add nothing.. and kills the battery!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alfa Kenny One:
Well then i am lucky then.. In dutch forums i can conclude most people complain about the yellow tint and their devices are from 12w11 beneath:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DooMLoRD:
well i would suggest u first check what u want in a device... if u want a brilliant screen great camera and dont worry too much about "tons of custom roms" then the obvious choice is Xperia S...

what are u looking for in the device?

i have 12w11 and dont have yellow tint issues...

battery life of the One X is HORRIBLE... even though it has 1800mAh battery it suck it like crazy... i got fedup and gave the One X to my bro to use :p

to be honest the camera and screen of Xperia S are WAY better than One X

Android cant take full advantage of the hardware... just recently it has started using dual-cores properly...

very good decision!

the video regarding browser is not accurate

quad core is a HUGE battery hog... even while calling the device HEATS up a LOT!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Goobacks:
I love my xperia s, have no issues so far, and no yellow that I can tell. But that said I want a one x to play with. So if anybody wants to trade for my xperia s let me know ;) lol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ItsMyMama:
I wouldnt care a lot about custom ROMs. Though its fun to flash :D

What I'm looking for:

-Nice screen

-Battery life thats decent (HOX cant even read the battery properly)

-Nice camera

-Nice deisgn

-Fast web browsing.

So whats your opinion on this? I noticed you have both since you made a kernel for the hox and xs.

Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
The One X is a beautiful phone. Better processor, LTE, "unibody" construction. Unfortunately the Canadian version of the phone is only in white, and I do not want that. I've only seen the HSPA+ ones available for import so that bugged me too.

In the end, I bought the Canadian XPERIA S for 499. Which is going to be cheaper than importing the One X.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
The screen on the XPS is better than the One X in pixel density, but some say it is not as good in contrast/color. For me it is much better then the overkill AMOLED on Samsungs. Battery life is better by a margin on the XPS, mostly because of less cores and less HTC Sense. The camera is hands down better on the XPS, Sony has years of experience in digital imaging. The design is your personal choice. I like both phones though, they're just different. The browser is great on the XPS and it has the WebGL patchset Sony developed, which allows it to run 3D graphics inside the page.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] emorej:
The battery of one x has improve a lot since they released frimware 1.28 last week,and on standby the phone is the best overnight i lost 3% only after i fully charge it.im getting max of 22

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] GT35pro:
Check the One X forum section. They have lots of quality control issues, from yellow tint to flickering screens to faulty batteries.

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Did you use it? ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ItsMyMama:
I guess I should try a demo then. And I agree about AMOLED. Had the sgs2, comparing it to the one x, it exaggerates the colors, doesn't feel natural.

@GT35prp

My set luckily doesn't have any flickering issues. The yellow tint is also really minor. Though I agree on the battery part..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] belek1979:
the point is when HTC One X switch from one core to quad cores? if only when playing games or running specific apps then usual using of phone would be very slow :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
I don't have a Tegra 3 phone, but I spent some time with the dev board on Linux. Mostly it uses the coprocessor when the device is sleeping or when the load is very low. It engages two cores when under average load and only uses the remaining two when the two are overloaded.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] abd_alazeez2002:
i think it all depend on u

what u really expect from one of both phones
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bustervic:
I thought about swapping to the Canadian One X too, but I am a firm believer that a phone stops being easy to handle in the 4.3-4.5 range (too big for pockets etc)

The LTE, 4.7 screen with the 1800 battery is shameful IMO, at the best of times it is still going to be a battery hog. And 16gb of storage (9.6 you can actually use) is shameful for a flagship device.

The Sony just works, reliable, good mix of size, battery and speed.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ItsMyMama:
One last question,

How's the battery life when browsing on 3G?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonmorris:
Hasn't Sony changed the headphone port so iPhone headphones will work with it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ItsMyMama:
Hows browsing on 3G? Important factor as it drains too fast on the one x
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bustervic:
Software doesn't support the 3 button remote... so dumb. For me only one of the 2 failings on this device. The other is the really fragile matte coating.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] im_iceman:
Yes.. it was last years range that used OMTP.. this year they have switched to CTIA.. which is the same as iphone..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
Not quite sure what to make of this.

Well like you admitted, it was a rant.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] daoutlawz:
I think a good overall review from someone with experience with all the phones I was considering...

I have a galaxy note which just died, I don't have warranty because it was an international purchase..am really considering the xperia s especially considering the cost will be the same as repairing the note..

Question for you would be would you rather repair the note or buy a new xperia s considering you've had experience with both?

The main drama I had with the note was the awkward placement of power/volume buttons and the lack of one handed operations but that screen I'm missing soooo badly...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Eyados:
i want to ask you the same question,

Should i change to HTC one x?

you faced any problem since you bought the one x? because i m not happy with the SXS and looking for another brand.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ItsMyMama:
The only problem would be battery life..

On a separate note, why aren't you happy with your Xperia S?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Eyados:
