[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] averygagaanroid:
So at the moment I have a couple of phones that I really want to buy and the XS is one of them. It is the best financially apparently but there are a few things I need to know. Hopefully y'all can help me. Thanks a lot ! :)

1) Does the white version attract dirt easily and if so is it easy to wipe it off? I know I can just get a case for it but since on the front there is a large area under the capacitive buttons and Im gonna touch that area a lot so I want to know. (Mini rant: why does it have so many visible seams, make the phone look a tard cheap)

2) How is the yellow screen issue? Has it been improved/ fixed? If I have it do you reckon it's gonna be easy to have Sony fixed it? I live in Australia btw

3) Battery life? I saw a lot of people having issues with the ICS update. My normal usage is 2-3 hours checking social networking sites, web-browsing, 2-3 hours of music, probably 15 minutes of games. Do you reckon if it's gonna be enough to last me?

4) Does this phone have any issue with getting coverage? In my house the coverage is terrible for most carriers. I had an HTC sensation and my mom has an s2 and they seem to not be able to hold on to signal any long.

5) So what do the colours look like w/out the Mobile Bravia Engine? I reckon I wont turn it on to preserve battery but I want to know how much it's gonna affect the quality of the screen. And in so many videos the colours do look a bit washed out...

6) How's the GPS? I dont drive but I use apps that use GPS.

That's all. Thanks again :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
1) I have the white one. It does attract a quite high quantity of dirt. The back is easy to clean. Just use a smooth humid cloth on it. For the lens, it's easier to clean it removing the back cover. The Xperia Logo on the bottom, and on the Camera, HDMI and USB logos on the sides also get dirty quite easily. The dust enters the little "depression" and get stuck in there. If someone knows a good way to clean this, please let me know.

2)It's been quite a long time since the start of the production. Until batch 14, almost all devices had it, on batches 15 and 16 it almost has gone. We must be on batches 30 or 40 by now, so no need to worry.

3)I think it's enough for me, and should be enough for you. Check the battery thread, and look at my posts to see my results.

4)Well, my carrier sucks for that. I badly can enter a corridor on my school without loosing signal. But I also had this with my old X10 MP. I think the coverage is good (not so good now, as I'm using Turkey FW, with a different baseband, but it doesn't make it unusable)

5)I always kept it on, so I can't tell the difference, really. Most people seems to have problems since the first ICS update (I also have this problem, but the screen is still awesome)

6)GPS for that is good for me. I also don't drive (heck, I'm 15 years old), but it is really accurate (with internet connection it's even better, as it have A-GPS)

Hope I helped.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] averygagaanroid:
Thanks for the reply.

About the batches, do you know how to check what batch it is? Since in Australia the Xperia S doesnt sell very well (I know it since Im working for a phone company now), so I reckon there are a lot of old stock sticking around.

And what is the problem you're talking about? Sorry I should have done my research but Im dong my assignment now and the threads are HUGE o.O

Thanks again !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
The only way I know is to open the back cover of the phone. On it, there is white sticker with info about the phone. On the right side, there is the phone model (LT26i), another info and something like this, 12Wxx, where xx is the batch, W is week and 12 is year. Mine is W10, so I have the yellow spot. Sadly can't trade as Sony Brazil is horrible.

The problem, I meant is that the Bravia Engine isn't working for most on the ICS update.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] averygagaanroid:
No more inputs from anyone?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kdroid79:
Hey there,

1. I have the black xps, my friend owns the white version. It does attract quite a bit of dirt but using a case should solve the problem. (recommend nillkin hard case)

2. Yellow screen issue - my first xps had the defect, returned it to the service centre within a week of purchase and got a replacement in 2 weeks. The batch I now have is 12w16. So if it's possible for you to find out the production batch, I recommend you get anything beyond w14.

3. Battery life - immensely dropped after the ics update. Gb battery life was amazing (I'm referring to stock firmware). The issue is due to the phone unable to get enough deep sleep when the screen is off. (culprits being - alarm manager and power saver app, they keep restarting). On stock ics, with 3G constantly on, Wifi for a few hours, display on for about 3 hours, music for 30mins,auto sync on throughout - i get about 12-15 hours of battery life. With auto sync off, I get 3-4 hours more battery life.

4. About network signal etc. The phone doesn't have any issues. But if you're in a low coverage area, it's going to drain your battery even further. One bug I've noticed is that after a few hours or sometimes a day, my data connectivity just refuses to work, in spite of it showing active with the H/3G symbol. Only solution is a restart.

5. I keep my bravia engine off most of the time, honestly I can't really tell the difference cause the screen is one of the best in the market. Love the clarity.

6. Gps - no issues. Fast and accurate.

Hope this helped you.

Cheers!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] heeroyun:
1. I used to own a XS before upgrade to the Acro S. A white one to be exact. I used a case all the time so there was little dirt to be worry about. I'm sure you'll feel the same. The 3 touch buttons on the front was horrid though.

2. If you buy a brand new one around this time, I doubt you will ever encounter this issue.

3. Battery do fine for me. It's about 3 hours of screen time, not very impressive but not bad at all.

4. Coverage is good. I've ever lost any signal.

5. You'll see a bit different in color, less vivid to be exact but you'll get used to it in tme.

6.GPS is fast and accurate.

Hope this help.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darth5zaft:
1)I have the older batch, so am having a yellow tint. Will send it for repair when I do have the time. As long as the bootloader is unlocked sony will gladly repaired it for you.

2)sony has said that bravia engine dont impact battery life, so u don't really need to turn it down

3)GPS is really really good, even without A-GPS( data off). Lock into position in seconds!. Must be the whole glonass thing,as other droids I use with data off,will need some time to few minutes to find me.

4)battery life,well as bad as most droids, 5 hours of screen time would drain it almost flat. But fast charging work as advertise, so plug it iN whenever possible,30 minits of charging could get it up around 50%.

5) call signal are really good, well at least I can comform it's better than samsung note,gio & s2.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xellotath:
Hi all,

I'm experiencing a complete break down that requires reboot every time when I try to transfer some files to a USB key connected via adapter.

I can transfer small files no problem, but when trying an avi file roughly 2GB in size the progress meter in the status bar will get to 15 or 16% then stop, and the whole phone will become unresponsive, even after unplugging the usb cable. I've tried leaving it run for over an hour in case the file was transferring during the hang, but it didn't transfer.

I'm on a sim-free i9300 bought in UK, using AOKP milestone 6 with Siyah 1.5, and the usb key is NTFS.

Thanks

How to flash ATT firmware on Bell Atrix HD without bricking?

Someone please let me know how to flash ATT firmware on Bell Atrix HD without bricking. Bell doesn't release any updated. My battery drains so fast even after turning-off all wireless hardware. I can't see battery consumption details. I'm stuck with BELL while I live in the U.S.
[Motorola Atrix HD] kobos311:
Seriously with the bell and Att this phone has been a pain in the assignment for all developers Ho even attempted to get root and who are working on the bootloader some of us nearly bricked trying to figure out the damn device and now you want us to show you how not too so u can flash bell or Att on the vis versa so with that said...

Hello everyone,

I have downloaded and installed the beats audio app from the market, and my phone got bricked(@least i should thnk so, im a noob, not sure how its supposed to look like lol). Anyways, i took it to a phone repair shop, and the guy fixed it in about an hour, i was so happy that i did not notice the big question mark inside the battery"?"... and it now seems like my battery wont charge over 6-7%. Should i use RSD lite to restore the battery settings? Hope someone can help...

Thanks .
[Motorola Atrix HD] SirHoover2010:
Well first things first, NEVER pay someone when we can help you :) and if that guy fixed it correctly then there is no reason for the battery not to charge. Just rsd flash it and buy this http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm for future bricks lol

BTW rsd will NOT work unless you have at least 75% battery, you will rebrick your phone if it goes to "low battery" before if gets completely flashed. Buy that adapter first then do it.

I am trying to flash with RSD 5.7 and it keeps erroring on the first line telling I have a USB error. I have tried 3 different cables to my best port on my computer. I just don't know what else to try.

[Motorola Atrix HD] popfan:
Yea, deleting drivers did it, which is weird since I had reinstalled them twice before.

Is there a primary website where RSD Lite is kept updated and you can see it progression?
[Motorola Atrix HD] SirHoover2010:
I dont think so
[Motorola Atrix HD] Neroga:
I was unable to flash back to 115. Keeps giving me GPT downgrade protection..

--edit--

I was trying to reflash 144 so I could start over and do the jb leak but it kept giving me errors. I used the modified XML which seemed to work but didn't wipe system which I heavily modified. This still left me unable to do the jb update. I added back the line in the XML for wiping system and it worked perfectly. Successfully updated to jb.
[Motorola Atrix HD] SirHoover2010:
Okay so I know you can't straight up RSD flash bell files to AT&T, but is there anyway to modify these files for it to work. Bell can be unlocked if understand correctly and then you can put AT&T back onto the phone. So if that works we could all have unlocked bootloaders.

Or maybe it can't be unlocked and I am mistake.

I am running at&t software on my (unlocked BL) Bell AHD... i just downloaded the at&t XML file and JUST flashed boot.img and system.img.ext4 -in that order- from the at&t xml(thanks to mattlgroff). Do this using fastboot. The code for this is:

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img.ext4

U have to have the fastboot file on the same folder as the boot and system.img and run cmd from there

Then got into stock recovery and wiped cache and data. Rebooted and restored with mybackup pro.

I prefer the at&t software bc the camera is better( has HDR) and the battery stats are complete...

1. rooted it & boot unlocked it & installed safe strap recovey via apk file no problem all working good. 2. downloaded a cust rom to put on it, 3. went into safe strap & created new rom slot but i wanted most space for apps n such so i went with a 3g but it didn't have enough space so i wiped n deleted stock rom on stock rom slot, had made a back up but i thought it was on sd but it was on internal memory so when i wiped stock rom slot i guess i wiped n formated everything. 4. i was able to install a custom on rom slot 1 i created with space after deleting stock rom & it booted up & work fine but it wouldn't find sd card storage so the camera wouldn't work. 4. i deleted that rom & put on at&t mexico retail rom but wouldn't get 4g so it had to go & then i installed bell untested rom it worked but i figured i would just go back to stock. 5. I downloaded stock att jb 4.1.1 rom uninstalled safe strap recovery but i did so with out first deleting rom slot 1 so i guess that created a memory problem & after i uninstalled safe strap & removed apk app. I rebooted phone but it just stayed stuck on boot unloader screen, im guessing because i deleted stock rom & all info. 6. got phone into fast boot mode by powering off & holding vol up & down/press power key selected fast boot was able to use abd to flash cwm recovery imgage onto phone, but i couldn't use fastboot abd mode to flash a stock att 4.1.1 rom it just failed, 7. even tryed using rsd lite tool but that failed too, its weired that i was able to flash cwm onto phone but not stock rom. 8. I booted into cwm by powering off & hold vol keys & pwr key again selected recovery & it loaded into cwm. 9. so i tryed to flash a zip rom thru flash from sd but it didn't show up, it only showed safestrap recovery & twpr or something like that so i thought maybe it was a memory issue so i used cwm to wipe, erase & format system, rebooted into cwm & now it was gone but still couldn't find zip from sd but i did find it under external sd, kinda weird? 10. so i flash zip rom by finding zip file under external sd but after i rebooted it stayed @ boot unlocker screen. 11. tryed flashing stock rom some more by using rsd lite & myth tools but keeps on failing. 12. even went as far as trying to selecting the factory setting things by using vol & pwr keys. 13. read a lot of info where it said to delete 2 files from xml unter stock zip rom after its extracted. 14. if i plug phone into usb on computer it attempts to install drivers but fails & it also makes ding thingy sound when pluged in & unpluged, 15. its like phone is not reading or responding, idk lol under devices its listed as usb input device when plugged in?, i think i trashed this pretty bad u think theres any hope or am i screwed sideways with no lube lol!!! =( I think this explains all in a nut shell, u can call me if thats better or instant or video message lol. ty ron.:crying:
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
Not sure how much help I can be but you might want to start completely from scratch.

Are you able to boot into cwm at all? If you are and you can access your SD card, try wiping data, cache, Dalvik, mount system, install rom, fix permissions, and re-boot. If it still doesn't boot, maybe try a stock AT&T or Bell rom and see what happens.

Did you create a cwm backup of your working rom?
[Motorola Atrix HD] QkTreasures:
yes im able to get into cwm & can wipe data & all, even was able to install/flash a rom from external sd card but when i went to reboot it just stayed @ moto dual core technology screen? do u think if i try to side load a rom thru adb fastboot that might work?

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ----------

omg im such an idiot, i got it figured out lol i didn't mount system in cwm before i flashed zip rom file, so i just wiped data, cache, davik cache, mounted system, installed zip from sd, fix permissions, rebooted & im done 3 days worth of hell & it was this dam simple!!!! ty to everyone on here. but question if i wanted to can i flash a stock at&t or bell rom using cwm recovery because i tryed & it failed or do i have to rename or edit a file or such?

I have downloaded and installed what i think is Fastboot and ADB drivers for the device but it still shows that yellow exclamation mark.
