Acro S stability

Hello

Im proudly owner of acro s from two days ago. But I had to sacrifice guaranty of the phone cos it is not eligible for my country. Now i have 5 days to test it on any malfunctions which can be caused by manufacturing process.

I have tried an-tutu, all benchs and test and i passed. Got 8000 on antutu.

Tried stability test https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...te_review=true

and i had problems with cpu +gpu test. Im having crash on my xperia acro s during this test but render continues, just all counters stopped. It took me a white to notice that. Any way when i try to close the app it says to me that is not responding and i need to kill it. After I kill it i got results with 0 errors on both tests but I have only 5-10 passes so it is unclear to me what is causing the problem. IS it beta development of the app or my gpu.

Another thing that led me to heavy testing is that I have noticed some strange flickering once when i was opening reply option on twitter app.

Can someone suggest me some good testing software so i can be sure that i have bought device with no mistakes and malfuncitons?

Thank you in advance!

hello, just a question. every time i made a mistake in flashing rom (stuck at sony logo, boot loops,) i always return to stock and then flash all over again the custom rom. is there any way on how i can return to my custom rom if i experience again bootloops or stuck at sony logo? it gives me pain in doing all over again the same steps.

thanks!

Hi

I've tried to root my Sony Xperia Arc S and I got some problems. The phone is fine, it's not completely rooted yet, but in some way my touch screen went crazy. I'll try to explain as good as I can...

There's a small light blue/white circle that appears when I'm touching my screen. It seems like this circle shows where my finger. For exampel, it turns white when I press my finger against my screen and it appears two small circles when I'm "zooming" and "pinching out". So I really can't start an application by directly pressing at the icon, I need to scroll this small circle down to the icon of the application and then tap. Does this make any sense at all?

I've tried to restore my phone but the problem is still there. Please please please help me!

I'm sorry for my bad english.

Hi

I no longer own Arc S, but I remember having the same problem. Go and do a solid look through the options in your phone's settings. I might be wrong but I remember that this can be easily turned off in debugging/programmer options or something like this.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rapsoulis:
Hello again,

so I've managed to Unlock my bootloader (which I realised was a thing I had to do and hadn't done). I've flashed to 2.45 and managed to gain root access.

My new problem is that I can't flash any custom ROM!

What I've tried:

First round

1) Flashtool, fastboot mode

2) Flash Kernel, select kernel

3) Selecting OpenSEMC - OTA v0.6 boot.img

4)a) Phone boots but won't go further than OpenSEMC boot screen - I just get a black screen and nothing more.

4)b) I've also tried to boot into recovery - succesfully - and from there Wipe Darvik/Cache/System and flash from there the .zip file. But unfortunately I can't do anything because I get an error (something about partition failed).

Second round

Tried the same things using fastboot.exe and CMD and commands. But unfortunately I had the same results.

Any help is very welcomed! Thank you!

Xperia S Fully Discharged And Stuck In Bootloop

Hi, i'm using FXP cm10 210 and nova kernel v1.6. My phone got discharged completely and is now stuck in bootloop. When i put the phone on charge a red led lights up and the phone is unresponsive for some time. But then when the phone finally boots it shows 0 percent battery warning and turns off again and goes back to the red led mode. This keeps happening.. HELP!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Li-polymers:
Yeah it an easy fix. When you charge till it boots, when its show the kernel logo take out the charger then Hard power off (vol - till 3 vibrations)then when its off plug in the plug in the charger and let go into offline charging and let it charge for some time then boot. :D

There's a sticky thread at the top of the general section. It's directions for your firmware.

Here is the LINK.

Also the general section has a lot of information & guides, a quick look/search can save you time waiting for replies ;)

the link method will wipe my device otherwise its not working on my phone already tried
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
Have you thought of using the backup app by Sony? It allows restores on different stock versions.

Normaly its a good idea to do a clean install for new roms. Not needed but recommended.

With the Sony backup app and a text message backup app, I can safely switch between stock firmware versions.

From Jaramie's LT28at
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] commando0:
actually its not only apps to restore but in app installation are tiresome especially for couple of apps i use it will cost me 6-8 hours in a continuous go to complete back up ....

i can do it via adb if guide available

Bluetooth problem

My Bluetooth stop working, i press the soft button in setting menu and says Turning Bluetooth on, but goes back to off after some time, i revert to stock rom and still the same. Stock rom for my region is 6.1.A.2.45. Btw everything else works just fine.

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ptenteges:
OK

Do this:

1. Download newest PAC 1.9 - it's 4.1.2 and gapps for it. Place both files on your SD card.

2. Extract boot.img from inside the PAC zip file and place it in the same directory on your PC as the fastboot.exe

3. Connect your phone to the PC in fastboot mode

4. Go to command prompt. In command prompt go to the directory where your fastboot.exe is.

5. Run this command: fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img

6. Once finished unplug the phone, reboot it and enter recovery

7. Do a factory reset, wipe cash, wipe dalvik (can end with error if you did it before), basicly wipe and format everything except SD :D

8. Install zip from sdcard -> choose the file with PAC. This can take a while.

9. Install zip from sdcard -> this time install gapps

10. reboot -> et voila you have a nice prerooted system.

Now you can go and experiment with OpenSMC, you always know how to come back to something that works.

do you have tun.ko modules for rooted and locked bootloader xperia S using xzxperience rom?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ejstubbs:
Hi

I recently acquired an Acro S and so far I'm very impressed with it. Thanks to threads on here I've got it rooted, running 2.55 and with CWM installed and working :)

One mod I would like to be able to carry over from my old phone (Motorola Defy+) is to replace the stock battery icon on the task bar with a battery circle icon. On the Defy+ I did this by cooking a modified theme in the UOT Kitchen. I just tried that for the Acro S and it returned me an SHTF error which seems to indicate a problem with the framework-res.apk file that I uploaded from the Xperia.

I've had a look around on XDA and there seems to be a suggestion that there is a problem with the Xperia framework-res.apk which stops it being decompiled. On the UOT web site there's some guidance about using the APK Manager tool to get around SHTF errors. Unfortunately I'm struggling to make sense of the information I've found so far.

Is it simply not possible to cook new themes for the Acro S in the UOT Kitchen? If it is possible, I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of some clear directions as to what I need to do.

TIA

Upgrading rooted 2.45 OTA

Hi,

I apologise if these questions have been asked before. I did do a search but there are so many threads, I may have missed it.

I wanted a rooted ROM after I upgraded OTA to 6.1.A.2.55 on my Xperia S. The process being complicated, I downgraded to 2.45 and used Bin4ry's method to root it. My bootloader is locked.

1. Now, if I update 2.45 to 2.55 OTA, will I lose root?

2. What are the chances of bricking the phone if I update it OTA?

3. With JB just round the corner, is it suggested that I just continue using 2.45 and wait for a rooted version of JB to be released on these forums?

Thanks in advance,

JK

flash again any stock firmware for your device. follow all the steps that are provided for each custom rom. don't also forget to backup. i also tried formatting the system and i ended up in the stuck sony logo, also i ended up in bootloop. just format the cache and dalvik cache. again, it depends on what custom rom you are using because some custom roms have different instructions.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ejstubbs:
Follow the steps in this thread.

You've actually already done step 1, and the first part of step 2. The next thing you need to do is to install CWM by following the instructions from where it says "just follow this" onwards.

For step 3, where it says "Follow the instruction gave by desperanto", it's referring to this thread. But the instructions for step 3 are actually correct as they stand.

This process worked for me, once I'd worked out how to get the phone in to flashmode (it's the vol- key you have to hold down, not the back key - there isn't a back "key" as such). HTH, good luck.

Weird loudspeaker behavior

Hi! xperia SL user here.

so:

-went to sleep listening music with headphones connected, when i wake up i find that the speaker on the phone does not play that "tick" sound when you select any icon.

-press volume up key to the max and plays that "blip" to indicate maximun volume

-no sound from songs on walkman app

-no sound from videos or games or any other media

weird stuff:

-ringtone plays fine when i receive a call but i can´t hear anything on the earpiece! but selecting loudspeaker buttong on call menu AND I HEAR THE CALLER JUST FINE

-every type of media plays just fine with headphones CONNECTED but gets back to acting weird when i disconnect

its like the phone doesn´t recognize that i just disconnected the headphones and acts like im using it?! :confused:

also: was trying a different ROM and same problem! maybe something moved inside the headphone jack when i was sleeping and makes the phone act like that?

any ideas? THANKS

Stock android launcher on unrooted Xperia S

Hello XDA, hello Felimenta97.

I'm here with a question with my unrooted Xperia S: i would like to have a stock ics launcher (as in Nexus-stock, not Sony-stock) without installing a different rom. I searched the web and xda forums for some "magical" apk that would do this. So far I tried this:

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1690588 (extracted from a huawei x5): it just crashes or gives a spinning loading when i press the lower button.

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26351864 (straight from gnexus) launcher is superfast! but only apps, crashes every time i try to add a widget (same problem as found in the topic, but now is dead)

- used nova launcher, but not really happy about the speed.

What could I do? Should I hook up the xperia to eclipse and try to find the reason why the gnexus one crashes when i add a widget? Just stick with the sony one and wait the jb update?

I'm not really fond of rooting because i believe i killed my htc magic some time ago rooting it and installing the cyanogen.

Thanks everyone

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Hey. Well, first thing you should try is downloading other ICS/JB like launchers. I like more Apex compared to Nova. You should try it.

Regarding root, I think you should try it. Unless you have a faulty cable and/or USB Jack on your pc, it should run good. To install CM or any other JB ROM, thought, you'd need to unlock the bootloader.
