[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faizkalwar:
before this problem udev already set..

LT18i on ubuntu10.4 64bit whenever i use lsusb command in debug mode it don't show my Arc S (Lt18i) but adb work perfectly (debugg mode) like adb logcat, adb shell etc... But How I don't know but it is working perfectly.

The real problem is fastboot mod lsusb don't show device and and don't work. Just <waiting for device>..

Windows 7 everything working perfectly no problem at all. So I don't think it is hardware related something I must had done wrong in Ubuntu.

Hey once again its me!

Just a few questions away from flashing Virtuous Affinity 2.05.0!

1. I have made a backup using 4Ext, does that mean i still have to make one with Nandroid?

2. Whats with all these radios? Can I use the radio

--------------------------------------

for Virtuous Affinity?

3. Would this guide to flash something by Vampire36 be ok?

4. Anything Else?
[HTC Incredible S] uqadwe:
1. No

2. Try not to change your radio if it works fine, but if you decide to it anyway avoid to downgrade, it will brick your phone

3. I do the following steps : -reboot to recovery

->backup(you already done this step)

-format all partitions(except SDcard)

-install zip from SDcard

-reboot system

4. No

and wat are kernels and would i need to update mine?

I am using Virtuous Affinity, and i never flashed an alternative kernel.
[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
Thanks, But ...

Thanks,

and which recovery did you use.

I had CWM but changed to ext4 recovery because heard it's easier and user friendly. So if i used ext4 recovery what would be the steps?

and for future reference how would i remove ext4 recovery and go back to CWM if I wanted to?
[HTC Incredible S] uqadwe:
I use 4ext, i like it to more then CWM. The steps are from my first post in this thread.

If you want to return to CWM the easiest way is to install Rom Manager from Play Store and install it from there.
[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
ok so your method is 100% safe and guaranteed success?

EDIT: What happens if i get into a bootloop (where i get stuck at the HTC screen), do i just boot into recovery and flash my backup?
[HTC Incredible S] uqadwe:
nothing is 100% safe, but that's the way i would do a change of rom/recovery

No offense, this is my last response, you have to try to read/search the forum for the answers you need. And you don't need to thank me on every post(appreciated but not needed).

I don't say that vampire36's method is wrong, i never tried it. I think my method does the job. I flash a minimum of five rom's per week(still no problems).
[Droid X General] Äptiva:
So I know a lot of people have actually had this issue, but I am not entirely sure that it's a hardware failure in my case.

Recently, I flashed ONLY the .15p radio without the .621 using Goose306's .605 AIO Updater which works great to take you from Froyo to GB and updates the radio to the .15p which to my understanding is only flashable on a froyo kernel.

Now after SBFing to the 340, then flashing the 15p radio, and finally going back to CM9 4/24/12 rc2, I noticed my camera no longer worked. I figured being that it's an ICS build, it may have just been something they rebroke. I rebooted into CWM, wiped data, cache, and dalvik, and following someone's advice, formatted system, data, and cache seperately. Then I flashed Liberty 3 2.0 Gold. While doing so, I decided to mount the /pds partition. HOWEVER I DID NOT FORMAT THIS PARTITION. I was nervous about it in the first place and did some reading only to see if I format this partition, I would lose wifi, radio, BT, and possibly more. My wifi works great still. radio is still 15p, and I never try BT as I have nothing to test it with. Even after using the RSD Lite method to go back to the .340, .596, .602, .605 I still have no camera. The camera app does not fc at all but it also doesn't take pictures. Shutter sound is enabled, but when I try to take a picture, the sound doesn't play. I did SBF assuming like the rookie I am that it would fix it. No dice.

Now I would like to troubleshoot my phone to see if it's possible I have corrupted a file that is fixable.

Where would be the best place to start?

What software or apps should I use?

If it is truly a software issue, how would I go about fixing it? (I know it would be dependant on what is really wrong in this case).

Basically I don't want to buy a replacement camera module just to figure out that it really is a software problem.

Thanks XDA for the time and keep doing what you're doing. We're counting on you!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Logseman:
While we wait for the Xperia U to have its own forum, we can do like the P guys and burglarize the Xperia S thread for a while.

The phone has picked some serious steam in Spain, because one carrier has launched a very aggressive campaign of phone subsidies which actually makes this phone free if you pay a 24 month contract which amounts to 10 dollars per month. With that subsidy, the subsidized phone costs actually less in the long run than the sim-unlocked one. Given that it totally destroys the likes of Oprimus L3, Galaxy Ace and other low end phones, it's flying from the shelves. In my case, I'm trading my Sensation with one of those phones. It's a pity, as I won't be able to run custom firmware or anything, but I think the trade off is acceptable.

I've read in a Chinese forum that the way to get in Flash mode is by keeping pressed VolDown while connecting the device to the computer. The latest Flashtool seems to recognize it. Once I get the phone I'll try to make an FTF file with whatever comes out of SEUS.

Is there anyone else with the phone who wishes to speak their wisdom?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] poo-tang:
My opinion

Had a play with both the P and U the other day and can safely say I made right choice with the S. Yes fastboot or flash mode is either hold vol up or down. The u looks ok and is a nice size ( looks like a mobile disco ) but the lag is horrid, why Sony did you use nova. And the P is so close to the S (size, looks) but yet so far away from the standard and specs (like getting the car you want but getting the cheapest package without aircon or electric windows). All I can say is good luck and hope you don't miss your Xperia play to much @logseman

Is this a joke or the xperia U has 4GB storage with no memory card?????????
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
We should not moan about the specs of the U, it's a low end device meant for people who want just a messaging phone with access to applications.

Not everyone has the need for the high end speced out phones you know.

Gingerbread is the only real drawback of the phone. It's tired and needs to be retired.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] karthiknr:
Lol,unfortunately that is true. Don't know how Sony missed out on this when it came to the U..;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Logseman:
While the MWC videos are not as dramatic as you're portraying, lag is not a huge issue for me anymore, as I won't be playing many games on this fellow.

Thanks for the good wishes. I hope I'll be able to contribute a little bit here as I did in the Play forum :-)

The phone does have 4 GB of accessible storage. It's the way Sony has to tell you "Buy the P". I'm not too bothered as we have a roomy system partition unlike in the Xperia Play.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] karthiknr:
Double post,extremely sorry.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] karthiknr:
Isn't the U supposed to be getting an ICS update as well? Is it as bad as you guys are saying it is?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Logseman:
The U will be getting ICS. The videos I've seen were convincing for me, and people have not complained about lag where I'm reading reports. It's true that GB is a let down, and I hope ICS will unleash the phone's real power.

You see, I just am not comfortable with the Sensation, it's nice but it heats way too much and the battery life is crud. This little feller should hold the line a wee bit longer.

Swypesation
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
Actually the xperia U just goes to show that sony has lost any business sense. Why would someone who wants a messaging phone with access to applications buy a dual core phone anyways? A single core phone with a bigger screen would actually be a better phone for that purpose.

Imagine people buying this phone without looking up it's specs, it's gonna happen and it's only gonna hurt the sony brand. And quite frankly cant blame people for that, I really wouldnt ever expect such a ridiculous limitation in a phone like this.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
@ALL: It's actually 8GB, with at least (sic!) 4GB available to the user.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] karthiknr:
That is still a big let-down.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] a4rocks:
Poor marketing choice indeed. I am personally a Sony fan now but can't help noticing that the Japanese don't really have a good business sense. 16GB is also a limitation but only some people will be irked by that and the rest of the public will be fine with it. 8GB is unacceptable but 4GB is simply intolerable. Everyone who has a decent music collection will run out of space too quick. I am personally in favour of making the phone thicker and giving a bit more additional internal storage space, removable battery and a microSD card slot

I don't see why not. Mali 400 MP GPU on the XU is plenty powerful. Almost as powerful as the Adreno 220 on our XS :) Plus it has to deal with a lower screen resolution (FWVGA)

well im a proud owner of one :P

good camera, decent quality...perfect for a quick snap....

great video recording...very nice 720p videos...

no lags what so ever....ui is fine...

VERY GOOD 3d performance..... both psx emulators and n64 emulators work at a steady 50-60fps on both with graphics intensive roms...(spiderman, mario 64,revolt)

gta 3 runs flawlessly with zero lags...

quadrant scores it above the galaxy nexus.

good sound quality, decently loud speakers.

battery lasts 1.5 days with some 3d gaming and browsing and music.

u can get an xperia s battery for it (same battery model)...even 1900mah batteries are available one ebay.com (model: ba600)

total 8gb internal storage. 4gb user-accessable, 2gb for android, 2gb for apps.

usb otg works great...tried my joystick on it :P

looks sexy!

i thinks its perfect in every way...for its price range atleast.

only thing is storage. but i plan to keep my music and movies in a pendrive, and carry it with me...and plug it in when i need to...sounds convenient actualy :P

other than that it blows its competitors out of the water!

trust me worth buying...

the only thing it needs is root....anyone willing to help me root it?

In order to root the thing, a rooted system image must be installed, as long as no software exploit can be used. Installing system images requires the bootloader to be unlocked.

but i do have enough knowledge !

im guessing the process would be to dump /system and then put in the root files....then flash using fastboot and then just install su app....

am i rite? or does it have some security measure on fastboot? not used to sony fones so dont know the root proccess...samsung is easier that way :P

can anyone help? do i have 2 officialy unlock it first?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
The xperia U chipset is in no way similar to the galaxy S2, they are worlds apart. The name of the GPU being the same doesnt tell anything, the galaxy S3 also has a mali400 GPU.

Screen is small but obviously the phone is for those who want a very compact phone. Anyways with just 2GB android storage you can only install 2 HD games at a time and that is provided you have nothing else stored. So it kinda becomes irrelevant how good it can play games when there just isnt enough space. What baffles me to no ends is that the difference between 8GB and 16GB memory is like $10 so why sony tried to cut cost in something so critical even when the cost saved isnt all that big.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Logseman:
It's not cost cutting, it's differentiation. Could you honestly distinguish the Xperia P from the U if they had the same internal memory? The White Magic display doesn't command the premium that Sony charges. They need more stuff to lure purple towards the higher end phones.

Unreal3000, in order to access the fastboot mode, you have to switch off the phone and connect it to your computer while you hold the Volume Up button.

Swypesation
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
I am sure I can.

3.5" VGA screen vs 4" qHD screen.

512MB vs 1GB Ram.

8MP vs 5MP camera.

720p vs 1080p recording.

All of the above shortcomings of the U are justified as they dont severely hamper the phone experience and are features that cost money. But 8 vs 16GB should never be a premium feature infact 16GB is cutting it short to begin with, 8GB is a disaster. Do you know the xperia U has the least amount of possible storage ever on an android phone? That tells you how bad sony messed up here.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Logseman:
Are Sony's sources out for the devices?

Swypesation
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unreal3000:
my point is that the gpu is the same as the sgs2. im not saying that they will have the same performance as each other, but saying that the 3d perfomance should be similar, as both should be clocked at the same stock speed, same res screen, as compared to the sgs3 which has an oc mali400 gpu.

ofcourse the sgs2 has an exynos cpu which is definitly better than ours.....

so fastboot works out of the box? no bootloader unlocking first? no sources released for the device yet...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Logseman:
If you have not unlocked the bootloader,fastboot works... But only to let you unlock the device.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] limestar:
Hey,

I have been using the U since last Friday. Actually I find it better than S and P to use. Now I usually use either a Note, One X or One S as my daily driver however I found U was a great little phone. Decent camera, battery lasted me all day and all my music is on Google Music so I didn't care about the storage. Enough space for pictures and apps. Lot's less lag than the P and S as well.

This will def become my weekend phone when I don't need the powerhouses.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
The galaxy S2 has a much higher quadrant score than what you posted so I would think the GPU might be clocked a bit higher. As I said the name of the GPU being the same counts for little. My nexus S has same GPU as galaxy nexus doesnt mean it can even touch it in real world performance.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SEFanX10i:
^

See you must understand that just because U has a similar to GPU to the Galaxy S2 doesn't mean they will both have identical performance (especially in Quadrant which measures a lot of other things more than the GPU)

The Xperia U and Galaxy S2/Note/GS3 all have Mali 400 MP GPU but they are not the exact same. Galaxy s2 and note have the Mali 400 MP4 which is the quad variant whereas the U probably has a Mali 400 MP1 (single core) or maybe MP2 at best.

So obviously the GPU performance between the U and GS2 won't be the same but yes they both use a similar ( not exact same) GPU.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Logseman:
You can only access the fastboot mode by default if your phone is sim-unlocked. If it comes branded from Movistar or any other carrier, fastboot will be disabled and you have to wait until Omnius/SETool supports unlocking the new devices.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unreal3000:
i just meant that we should expect some really good performance... the U is based on a power saving novathore chipset. gpu probably clocked lower.... but still.... and ours is probably mali400-mp1....sorry on my part :P i thought sgs2 had a mp1 too :P someone asked for camera samples...sorry forgot :P first thing 2morrow :P got my otg cable.....works with everything :P joystick,keyboard, wireless mouse :P wired gamepad :P

I have an Xperia S and Xperia U, have to say that slowly I´m falling in love with Xperia U.

I never play games in a phone (drains battery like hell), what I most do is: read mails / calls / whatsapp / music (online radios & about 2gb of songs) and that's it, for movies, games, facebook I use a tablet (because, for me, even 4.7" is small to play games or watch a movie).

im the power consumption error is a software limitation and could be removed by a kernel dev :P usb devices (which arnt self-powered) are a bit tricky...

logitech usb gamepad= ok!

ps3 dualshock controller=power consumtion....

logitech attack 3 joystick= ok :P
