[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Wesie:
Hi all,

the Acer 510 contains the Stockrom, which is rooted and CWM is installed. If I connect the the Tablet via USB with W7, I can see the internal and external SD-Card. If I connect the same tablet under Linux (Suse 11.4), the tablet / filesystem is unknow and could not be mounted :confused:

Normaly I see every Android Device under Linux and can mount this one without any problems , so that I 've an access to the SD-Cards.

Does someone has seen the same issue and hopefully has a solution for this one?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] meldrak:
Since ICS the protocol used is MTP and linux is not familiar whith it

take a look at this article, it will help you even if it's written fo ubuntu

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] gen_scheisskopf:
Tablet doesn't use Mass Storage mode but MTP which you have to setup on your Linux machine.

Ubuntu tutorial (required packages should also work on other distros)

Alternative (I've never heard about this before TBH)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Wesie:
THX !

I'll try it on evening and let you know :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] salisbury_steak:
Before you proceed in futher steps, did you try connecting the tablet to the Linux machine with USB debugging off? (Win XP for example, cannot use the A510 as MTP if usb debugging is on.)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Simiil:
Even if you get it to work, don't expect somethign good. The Support for MTP is really bad in most Linux distros. probably because MTP is a Microsoft thing. I got it to work once and all i could do was copy small files in already existing folders. Creating folders or copying large files always resulted in a force unmount.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] meldrak:
I agree with you that why I only use FTPserver instead now
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] gen_scheisskopf:
Simplest alternative to MTP- QtADB, I know it wasn't updated for over a year but worked for me (various 2.1-4.0 firmwares and hardware)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Rusty_Gunn:
wifi file transfer from the play store is another option.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jvsykes:
Hello everyone,This is a compare between the BE on the GB, And the BE on ICS

on the ''Same Device''...

ICS 6.1.A.2.50

So i switched back to Gingerbread 6.0.A.3.75 http://http://www.xdafileserver.nl/...CK ROMS/GB/LT26i_6.0.A.3.75_Generic NL.ftf.7z and took some screenshots of the same picture

1) On GB

BE ON View attachment 1367220

BE OFF View attachment 1367221

BE ON 2 View attachment 1367222

BE OFF 2 View attachment 1367223

Amazing quality when BE on, You can see the difference in size of the screenshots as well when the BE on and OFF... And If you can't notice the difference then go check your bloody eyes ;)

2) On ICS ( We have this problem since the first ICS came out )

BE ON View attachment 1367229

BE OFF View attachment 1367230

They looks identical,same in size either!! This is not why we've spent 457 GBP

THE RESULT : 1) It's Not a ****ing Hardware Issues as the Sony UK support Reply to our mails.if it's a Hardware issues,then how on earth the Bravia Engine doesn't work on my phone on the ICS while it works on the GB?! it shouldn't be working on both

2) it's not a respect when they ignore their loyal customers...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rapier07:
Aren't the others facing this issue? The difference is clearly evident.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dante2086:
Dude, no arguments here. ICS broke the Bravia engine. I noticed it a while ago.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jvsykes:
Yes,but those who BE works on their devices are giving Sony the wrong feedback

So this is like a proof that we're not bluffing here..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lord Takyon:
Be has always worked, still fine here on .45 fw.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lord Takyon:
Erm, 45 lol

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] scook94:
So BE bumps up colour saturation "in camera"? Personally I prefer the pictures with BE off as they are clearly more natural. Very easy to adjust colour saturation in post processing.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
Region?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lord Takyon:
Not entirely sure tbh. It would have been an unbranded one.

Sent from my XperiaS via transwarp conduit.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] skip0pot2mus:
I can see the difference sure.

Seems it works on my phone with the latest .50, it also did work with .45, didn't check with the first ICS build, or GB on MY phone.

Just did this:

Can you see the difference? I can. So it's working on mine?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bluefrog:
I think BE is meant to enhance the APPEARANCE of pics and videos playing on the phone. It doesn't alter the actual data as far as I know?

I can't say I'm seeing any difference on mine - ICS .453 build. And I'm still waiting for the .45 or .50 build to come through :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
Are u on lock or unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ambetdelarosa:
I agree! Let us help each other dude..

Click this link and let us bug Sony with our comments and queries!

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/52579?start=20&tstart=0

i have started this thread from their website after discovering the BE on ICS is not working. And I haven't received any sensible response til this time because there are very few who post their comments.

please help us make Sony fix the issue!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] skip0pot2mus:
Locked, everything is stock.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dpk1:
I totally agree. I've had this issue too ever since the ICS upgrade by sony, along with the camera quick launch issue! These issues are not there on any GB rom. I've seen people having a variety of issues on ICS on Xperia S, but the above two issues remain most bothersome for me. I've been repoting these issues here ever since the first ICS upgrade and the succeeding sony updates thereafter! There have been no solution or fix for these issues. I know that Sony devs are aware of the Bravia engine as well as the quick launch issues on Xperia S ICS (from the sony support forums), but it seems they are clueless regarding any solution, hence no feedback.

Frankly, i think sony have messed up a fine device with their ICS upgrade esp wrt to their advertised key features like mobile BE and camera QL/ fast capture :mad:, and now they don't have time to fix them. If sony doesn't fix these issues, the XS shall be my first & last sony smartphone :(!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
Ahh I see! Maybe it's because u're in locked bootloader. Any one with unlocked bootloader and BE is working? It could be a problem from losing IRM key!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ambetdelarosa:
i do not think so. i had my ray and arc unlocked but BE is working fine. and also those people on are on GB with unlocked BL, but its still working. i think this is just a software issue..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dpk1:
No, mobile BE has nothing to do with DRM keys! I've unlocked bootloader but the BE works fine on GB, whereas it doesn't work for photos on any ICS. So, clearly its an ICS issue.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] skip0pot2mus:
Doubt it, other stock phones have the BE bug, I don't have the BE bug, but I have the QL bug amongst 20 or so other bugs! Luck of the draw or the Xperia S's have a wide acceptable tolerance when manufactured.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
They might change there security system in ICS! Who know? Maybe we've just found out what DRM key is use for in ICS!

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

I meant like there's only one thing that can't recover when we've lost! And that is DRM key! Since we all flash the same! I did full wipe! Try many thing! Even relock my bootloader but still unable to make in works in ICS! It's probably abt DRM key! But i'm not sure yet until we find out that nobody with unlocked bootloader got BE working or somebody with locked bootloader got BE working! It's a good idea to do a survey abt it!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] skip0pot2mus:
DPK says he has unlocked bootloader, and BE works when he reverts back to GB.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dpk1:
I'm almost certain that at least a couple of guys here, who have unlocked bootloader ever since GB and then upgraded to ICS, have fine working BE for both photos as well as video, just like it should!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jvsykes:
Same here.. It's Not About The DRM key
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
My point is since everyone BE works in every GB build even in unlock or locked bootloader! However, of the the BE working device with ICS is locked bootloader! And i found non of unlocked bootloader BE's working in ICS!

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

How do u know? Let just ask a BE working with ICS people?

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

I've ask another one with BE working! And they are in locked bootloader! Never unlock! Seem like my conclusion is correctly! But i'll ask more people!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jvsykes:
Hmm again It's not about the bootloader. Because I was on stock GB Rom with locked BL

And when ICS came out I installed it via PCC and the Bravia Engine wasn't working, So I unlocked the bootloader to try custom stock Rom to see if it works but it never did ...plus there are many Acro s users which is have ICS out of the box are suffering the same BE problem.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] technaudio:
Yet again, we see the same common factor.

Bootloader unlocked = Broken Bravia Engine.

Am I the only one seeing the light here???

locked BL, no root

its software correction so its visible on SS! if it would be screen firmware mod it wouldn't be seen on SS

BE works gr8 - sometimes vivid, sometimes just sharpening...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] skip0pot2mus:
Those two images look identical, so I guess yours isn't working.

Johan from Xperia Support says:

"Mobile Bravia Engine is supported in Xperia S in both GB and ICS SW.

For still images, it is only supported in Gallery app in GB SW, and in Album app in ICS SW. It is not supported for 3rd party image viewer applications.

For video, it is supported for any third party app which uses Android MM Framework (including YouTube app) as well as our preloaded video viewing app's."

He also suggests to do a repair of the software...surprise!!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Piyush Rawal:
So far it very much seems that bootloader does effect bravia engine in ICS, but we still need something more concrete to come to conclusion. How about someone with working bravia engine, just for community's sake, unlock bootloader and report back? :p

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] technaudio:
The one common factor in those who say MBE doesn't work is that they have unlocked the bootloader.

If you changed the spark plugs in your car and then the car wouldn't start, what would you blame it on?

Please, answer me these questions:

Yes

Yes

Yes

Yes

Maybe manufacturer of car? :) Just kidding, my BE works fine, videos, images. . . Locked bootloader, stock rom. . . ;)

Edit:

Xperia S - Yes

ICS - Yes

Be working in album - Yes

Locked bootloader - Yes
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] skip0pot2mus:
So it only affects unlocked boot loaders in ICS, and not GB?

Drm recovery!!!

guys, check this thread from Xperia Arc. i am not sure how it happened but they are claiming that they have recovered the DRM.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] technaudio:
But let's not forget, it may have nothing to do with drm. Unlocking bl may have changed something else, something that maybe Sony doesn't even know about yet.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] technaudio:
They did warn you. So maybe instead of ranting and demanding a fix, why not ask nicely?

Something along the lines of : I unlocked my bl and now MBE doesn't work, can you help me find a fix for it?

Also, if you have unlocked bl, you can't get ota updates can you? So how can Sony help you this way?

Your thread on Sony support started off saying MBE doesn't work in any ics Rom, which it does. You also neglected to mention the unlocked bl. So, the answers Johan gave you would probably work in a locked bl phone.

Just saying.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
Yeah i think so, maybe we'll do nicer! Asking for the fix nicely! And let's gather alot of people to ask there! As maby people face the problem, they will consider fixing the problem!!!

Don't forget to hit thank, if i deserve it!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dpk1:
First, I am still not convinced that Bravia Engine bug for ICS is a result of BL unlock! Sony, haven't said a word on this, even after I asked the sony rep directly.

Second, Sony wouldn't respond if we ask them nicely or rudely (not supporting to speak rudely though)! I guess thats because they are yet to find a solution ;).

Third, it is possible to get OTA updates or do an SUS repair after relocking the BL. I've relocked it ever since the first ICS update in the hope of getting bugfixes!

So, it all depends on sony for when or "even if" we shall get these bugs fixed!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hamodi:
You mean role back to GB and never update to ics with locked bl!? Only this way the BE will work!?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
Hrm i don'tt really get it! But what ever u do, Bravie Engine is always working in GB! So if u role back to GB, it'll be working again and only work in GB! If you upgrade to ICS again, u'll experience the same problem as before and even u relocked bl as u do it on GB still no working in ICS!

Have you unlocked your bootloader b4?

unlocking it seems to disable Bravia.

For me, it's not working in ICS update for Xperia U. I unlocked bootloader b4.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xtrmshadow:
That must be it,

No i havent unlocked my bootloader (Seems useless for me as im perfectly happy with ICS + Root), so im guessing thats the only diference.

Relock it and try if Bravia is working for ya...i would exchange bootloader for Bravia tbh,it just makes the phone give ya a lot more warm welcome.

If u can captured a still picture from the video that means ur video player is running on software rendering which is not effected by BE!

Bravia Engine works perfectly fine for me as well with ICS .50 firmware on my Xperia S. First pic is off, 2nd pic is on, and you can clearly see the difference in the sunlight in the pics (and personally I would say I prefer the non-BE version, BE version looks way too oversaturated). My bootloader is locked.

Side note, I just noticed now that under my Display settings in the .50 firmware, my Brightness now has an extra line about it being "powered by White Magic". I thought this was an Xperia P exclusive hardware feature??
