Jelly Bean would be slow on our phones if official update was done. Sony will push own Timescape UI inside instead of Butter UI, so we don't get any performance improvements in UI.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] loCe45:
It's a shame, but it was expected... :(

Yeah, i also expect 2012 xperias will probably get Jelly Bean update around this time next year (+/- couple months), just before Key Lime Pie comes out :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gihan798114:
but google successfully made JB for nexus S right? it has the same specs as the xperia 2011 lineup :( sooo sad :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] smurfin_cervus:
I wonder....

does anyone remember Xperia x10i? the funniest was they came from Donut 1.6 to GingerBread 2.3. they've got 3 official FW update.. and me guess we still have a chance.. Our device is not low range since we have 512 ram inside. and some of Xperia 2012 family also have the same type.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rolo143:
I was expecting this. They won't update 2011 xperia phones to JB. But they will update 2012 xperias. If I buy another phone, it won't be a Sony. Maybe a Nexus 7 but not a Sony. I was very disappointed with the ICS update. Can't imagine a JB for our phones, maybe to slow...

Long live to Gingerbread! xD
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] porcupine02:
I dont't think Timescape has anything to do with Butter :confused:

Anyway, I'm not surprised, but they could change their minds if community presses them enough. As I remember, HTC upgraded Desire to GB even though they said phone was underpowered (for sense bloatware).

I wasn't really expecting that our 2011 Xperia phones would get 4.1. But I'm going to flash a custom rom when it's available :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sandy7:
who cares about their update...cyanogenmod 10 alpha has rolled out..have to tell its much more faster than GB..wait for fue for days l get the beta version of bug free ...just waiting to get beta cm10.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pfonck:
The thing is that to be able to create stable custom roms you need support from the manufacturer. Without proper source code or hardware drivers/libraries that suit the new OS developers have to tack everything together which greatly increases the chances of bugs.

IMHO the least thing Sony could do is provide a proper hardware layer to developers to give them a solid base to work from. Nobody really needs the Sony customisations anyway so they could actually save a lot of development time there.

Personally I'd wish all android phones came with AOSP, like what Apple and Microsoft do. It saves the manufacturers a lot of development and opens the way for more frequent/longer OS updates.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nikitenich:
All hope of custom rom:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xdevilium:
**** Sony, where's Ericsson when we need him?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ManthanRB:
Correct.:)

Nicely Explained Brother:good:

Here is example!

1.Bravia Engine wont work without proper supported lib files

2.Same will happen with xLoud

But we can force SONY to give us JB update

If majority of all the customers keep on telling them about the update for 2011 Family, after all customers are the only strength of any COMPANY

What say guys?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zerorated24:
Yeah yeah yeah! As what I have expected from SONY!

Come on guys! This isnt the first time so stop relying on this b*llsh*t company. We have the developers here and they are even better than those "INCOMPETENT" developers from Sony.

So stop crying over spilled milk and just wait for JB port to our devices :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xdevilium:
Well... There is :D

And i agree, Not only the developers here are better, they also keep updating us with Alpha, Nightly and Beta builds all the time, and they're also open for suggestions ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pfonck:
I don't know why people keel slagging off Sony as a company?

Personally I buy an SE phone for the hardware (who else makes a tiny phone with a useable hardware keyboard?) while knowing you can optimise the thing to personal taste by modding the firmware and using apps.

As for updates the Mini Pro got 200% of what it's predecessor got (the X10 Mini Pro which only got Eclair).

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RED (Y):
OK so here is the story- i was using HTC EVO 4G for 2.5 years now,Exchange 2003 mail box connected,no problems.I was able to see html links in the mail body even in the mail settings it says "Plain Text" and it's greyed-out. HTML render works. Got my new HTC EVO 4G LTE- all same settings,same mail box,same situation with "Plain text" option,BUT no HTML! So if need to follow link from my e-mail i have to copy and paste it to the browser instead of simply clicking on the link. Did some google search-a lot of people keep telling that "HTML won't work with Exchange 2003" but some how i was able to see live links on the 4G but not on the 4G LTE? WTF? Is there any kind of workaround for this thing? I'm ok with built in mail client and don't really want to buy 3rd part app because of the HTML links are dead in exchange,just want it to be same as my old phone. Any ideas? :eek:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sert57:
Hello!

This is my first time posting, i normally am able to solve problems by looking through the forums, but this time not so i created an account and posted.

Any help that could be offered would be greatly appreciated.

The Story:

I have had the nook for around a year running CM7 or CM9, and last semester i took a programming class and programmed apps for android and ran them on my nook. i got acquainted to adb and am somewhat familiar with it. i remember when i started the serial number which adb used to Id the device was normal, but then around halfway through it simply became a string of zeros. so that is when the device lost its serial number I assume. Sadly this is not the main issue. :(

A week or so ago i was attempting to return my nook back to the stock Rom, and got it booting fine but it would not register because it was missing the serial number and Mac address. I looked through the forums and tried to fix it. i figured out it was stored in partition 2. looking in to it i could easy reflash other roms and they would work fine, and i tried restoring an old backup i had, which did not fix the problem ( i didn't think they affect that partition at all). eventually i stumbled upon lepinars repair partitions zip, and with nothing else working, i flashed the repair partition 2 zip in hopes the backup from partition 3 would have the correct serial number in it and restore the serial number. This put my device in a recovery bootloop. i am able to boot into cwm and talk to the device over adb, and i can flash new roms, but it will ONLY boot into recovery, no matter what rom it is ( i have tried CM7, CM9, sdcard install of CM7, and stock 1.0.1) . i figured out that it is because of a file on the mmcblk0p2 which i think was BCB, but there might be some other things affecting it.

So now you know what has happened, can anyone help me? I would like to get a Rom to boot into the normal mode, and then restore serial number / mac address so that it could be registered.

Once again, Thank you so much.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
The problem is that without a valid serial number on partition 2, no rom will boot even if the recovery flag is set properly. It will just keep going to recovery.

If you have adb working, look at p2 and see if you have a devconf folder. If you do, look in it to see what files are there. There should be simple text files that have data in them. Like SerialNumber that has a 16 digit serial number in it (but the file is 17 bytes long so must have a linefeed on the end.) MACAddress is another, with a 12 digit number and no linefeed. 17 files total. All of them with rw-rw---- permissions.

Those files are usually backed up in partition 3 in a file named rombackup.zip. Unzip that zip manually and place them all in the devconf folder in partition 2. Set permissions as above.

Also you said you flashed my repair zip. Did it give you the message that it completed successfully? I have it set to abort if everything is not right.

Edit: Your serial number is stamped on the little flap that covers the micro SD card. It is also on your box the NC came in. If you cannot find the SerialNumber file in the backup zip, you could try manually creating it and putting in the right place.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sert57:
Thanks. A week ago i was more familiar with this because i had just done a day or two of reading, but sadly a bit has slipped my mind.

ADB is working just fine when i boot into CWM, but i am having trouble finding partition 2. For some reason I recall a rom folder on the root level, but when i do an ls while in adb shell, all i see is this:

boot etc sd-ext

cache init sdcard

data init.rc sys

datadata proc system

default.prop res tmp

dev root ueventd.goldfish.rc

emmc sbin ueventd.rc

more random info:( still in adb shell)

when i do an fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 7944 MB, 7944011776 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 965 cylinders

/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 282 965 5494198+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

just in case any of that helps.

i have heard of partition two being /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 but that is not a directory, or at least it appears so to me and i cannot get any files from it. I recall when the nook was booting fine i did look into the rom folder and the serial number was there and was correct, but in the settings/about Tablet it was simply a string of zeros.

when i try to pull the rombackup.zip from p3, i get the error message "adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p3/rombackup.zip

remote object '/dev/block/mmcblk0p3/rombackup.zip' does not exist" , so i am assuming i am barking up the wrong tree there.

when i flashed the repair zip there were no error messages and i am fairly certain it completed successfully as i was not alarmed and simply tried to reboot it as normal. after I flashed the repair zip it would not boot into anything but recovery, and this is when the more serious issue ( it seems to me) arose.

I probably am simply doing something wrong here, still the same situation on my end.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
you have to mount the partitions...

rom should have been automatically mounted to /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 but you can try to manually do it:

adb shell busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /rom

adb shell mkdir /backup

adb shell busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /backup

adb pull /backup/rombackup.zip

unzip rombackup to a folder..

push the files to /rom/devconf
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sert57:
DizzyDen -

Thank you for telling me about the partition mounting. this explains a lot.

i had to create the /rom folder as it was not there. when i mounted it and did an ls -a command, in /rom there was only a BCB file. in /backup there was only factory.zip and an empty folder called lost+found. so there was no rombackup.zip for me to pull and extract.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
That probably is why my repair failed. Try creating the SerialNumber file I mentioned in my last post and put it in the folder devconf. You may have to make that directory first. Mkdir /rom/devconf.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sert57:
I successfully created the file SerialNumber and it was 17 bytes, i moved it to /rom/devconf and looked at its permissions, and for some reason a chmod wouldn't let me remove rwx from others and x from user and group, so the permissions were rwxrwxrwx (not sure if this would create an issue). i tried to re-install the repair zip. the text displayed is

(after finding, opening, and installing update)

Repair /rom partition (P2)

found /factory - be patient this could take a while

Done.

This is the same message i received earlier when i did this. so no failure message but i guess it aborted or something. After this is done the devconf folder is gone. rom is still there and i mount it, and once mounted the only file in Rom is the BCB file.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I did some testing and the SerialNumber file by itself is not enough to get it going. There are 16 others and one or more may be critical. I will keep playing and see if I can find which one it needs. I don't know why you don't have that backup file. It is really critical. I modified my partition 2 zip to give a little more information to the user.

Edit: I did some more testing and it booted only to recovery when I removed a file named BootCnt. It is a file with four bytes in it which are all null (00's). Try making one and pushing it to /rom/devconf and see if it will boot. There is also another file named BootCount also with four null characters, but it is still there and it is not booting to the rom. I think that is the one for 8 failed boots. (When I rebooted again it was ok, that file was back).

Edit2: I think I found it. There is a file named DeviceID that is identical to the SerialNumber file. When I delete that file it will no longer boot to a rom, only recovery. Try putting that file in /rom/devconf. I deleted everything in that folder but BootCnt and DeviceID and it booted to the rom.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sert57:
Thank you so much!! The nook is finally able to boot successfully to a ROM. Major problem finished! I was originally intending to return it to stock, but I am not sure if that is now possible as I am missing all but 2 of the very important files. I'll give an update when I get closer to getting stock back. Hopefully it will work, but we will see. Thanks for helping me get at least this far.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sert57:
That would be spectacular if you could provide that. I'm still attempting leapinlars download ( 3 failed times, WiFi here is VERY slow right now). Let you know what happens.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sert57:
So I installed 1.4.3 to the nook. it got stuck at the silver n screen, so i did a volume up, power, and n button reset. after this it reset to factory and intalled an update. it booted sucessfully to the stock firmware. now when i try to register it it is missing the model number and mac address. im assuming i am just supposed to create the two files for the nook and place them in /rom/devconf. Could some more assistance be had for me about what goes into the files and such? Mac address has been missing since the problem began, so that is nothing new, but this is the first time ive booted to stock that model number was not there.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Model number is BNRV200 in ModelNumber. Product ID begins with P11 and ends with a linefeed and is 11 bytes total in ProductID. Event Type is Manufactured in EventType. Date manufactured is just a date. Mine was 01/29/2011 in DateManufactured. Device attribute is New in DeviceAttribute for me. MAC address is a 12 digit number in hex in MACAddress. Main board serial number is a 12 digit alphanumeric number in MainboardSN. Mine starts with QI11M. Backlight is a 6 digit alphanumeric number in backlight. Mine is 1476AY. Ean is a 13 digit number in ean. Mine starts with 97814005. There is an empty Platform file. There is BootCnt and BootCount, both with four nulls (00). There is a SerialNumber file identical to DeviceID. There are three other files. WiFiBackupCalibration with 468 bytes, PublicKey with 333 bytes and HashOfPrivateKey with 28 bytes.

Some of these you can make and some you can put phony info in them. Others, I don't know.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sert57:
Could you provide more info on obtaining the Mac address and how to write it? After that I should be good, but we will see.

[edit]

install cm7.2 and it was in the settings, so i copied it down and put it on the device. reverting back to stock, i will see if it takes. i am assuming by your description the semicolons are not placed in the MACAddress file, so i did not do it.

[edit2]

looks like all i need is the hashprivatekey. when i went to the factory area a few were null, but that one said Not Okay. is there any way i can create this file? i tried registering but it would not, so i am assuming this is needed.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Unblock your private messaging on XDA. I want to send you a message. Or send me a private message with your email address in it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sert57:
ok. it boots fine. when i register it will not let me, with the typical error, i look into the details and everything is green except battery percentage (which is low) and username which is nonexistant. when i check the factory tab it says that the battery type and backlight are !null, so i dont thing that would affect it. besides that i have everything.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
One more thing to try. You can reset some of your settings like wifi calibration, etc by following this procedure. It may just re-populate some of those files in devconf. Use the one that resets things. Back up devconf first though.

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Factory_Mode/Skip_Out_of_Box_Experience
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sert57:
done that a few times. it doesnt really do anything but erase known wifi networks. would the fact its missing battery type and backlight mean anything for registration?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I would not think so. But I have a Nook Tablet that has different things in devconf, like BatteryType is MCNAIR and Backlight is 070B16730338ZN4AC15-4J8D6Y01577C5. (Notice it has a capital B in the name. I think I made a mistake in the earlier post.) The Tablet I think has the same screen as the newer Nook Colors.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordfish123:
I got my galaxy nexus yesterday. The wifi reception is very poor. I compared it with my 2 yr old phone( Samsung Galaxy Spica). When both phonesare at the same place, my galaxy nexus shows atleast 10db difference. I tested this in both ICS and JB. Tried changing auto to 2.4mghz. Issue is not resolved.

Even on my router dd-wrt interface it shows the reception power of both my phones. Galaxy nexus shows less.

Any solution for this or is this a faulty hardware. Problem is this is a international version without local have warranty. So no way of getting a replacement
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aL_aSeeR:
I noticed same problem on my GN however I guess it is something to do with battery consumption. It will try to reduce WIFI strigth if the network coverage is poor to reduce battery drain.

However, although the signal is poor I am still connected and hence I don't think it is serious issue... so ignore just like I did :cowboy:
[Nexus 7 General] Nxxx:
So I just got done on the phone with Google and was extra pissed this morning. I explained how I preordered the N7 and it came after I went and got one (defective) from Sam's Club. The guy was pretty sympathetic and explained that the N7 wasn't supposed to be sold in retail stores until July 22nd! Apparently one guy made a mistake that let one store (Wouldn't tell me what store) start selling the N7. Other retailers said that if _____ is selling the N7, we should too.

Pretty crazy that this whole mess was because of ONE PERSON.

He also said I was the first person that he'd talked to that has had two defective devices. He went on by saying that out of all the N7s only 1% are defective. Sounds like TOTAL BS.
[Nexus 7 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
im pretty sure he told you that just to get you off the phone...

But i know a few stores like Adorama and Ebuyer started selling the Nexus 7 around 5th or 11th.. then Google supposedly told them to go back to pre-order

Google messed up by not having enough of stock and hiring people off the street to ship these things
