[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xXxZEExXx:
Hi!first of all this is a great site that i've stumbled upon while google searching on how to fix my phone. Now, the problem started when i updated to ICS. After the update there were spots on the touchscreen that were unresponsive but i'm a physical keyboard type of guy so that did't bother me much when it came to texting but when the need for swiping comes it gets very irritating as my swipe action becomes incomplete. Although it can easily be solved when i'm on landscape mode. Still, on landscape mode the bottom part of the screen becomes unresponsive. Though i can still bare with it. The real problem happened a few days ago when my screen became distorted when used in portrait mode but the distortion disappears when in landscape mode. Then after a while it becomes distorted on both landscape and portrait mode. Everytime i have to unlock the phone the screen just goes black specially on portarit mode and i have to repeatedly press the power button to make the screen appear just so i can unlock my phone. Then two days ago the screen just totally went black but the backlight still turns on not even the logo appears everytime i turn it on. I tried connecting it to my pc to fix it but the phone cannot be detected. I searched and did a hard reset (pressing the power button and home button simultaneously) and voila! the screen works and the logo finally appeared but still distorted. So i plugged it back to the pc and installed the software update. After the update i tried turning it on again but the same black screen i've mentioned happened again nothing shows on the screen not even the logo. I tried hard resetting it again but it didn't work. Please help i really love this phone :crying:

By the way the phone is all "stock" meaning i haven't done anything to it (flashing ROM, etc). please please please help.

Downgrade to GB using flashtools. Maybe that helps
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Alexmessy:
Have you tried repairing with PCC or flashing stock firmware via flashtool? Maybe that would solve your problem, hope its not hardware related :/

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xXxZEExXx:
how can i do this?i really dont know anything abot flashing.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xXxZEExXx:
yes i have tried repairing it with PCC. The repair finishes but its still only black screen when i turn it on. The phone still vibrates though and the led light lights up when i connect it to pc or charger.

Haven't tried flashing as i do not know how and when i connect my phone to the pc it doesnt appear on "My Computer" and is only read by PCC when i'm attempting to repair it, in which the latter happens rarely.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xXxZEExXx:
i cannot do so as the screen is not functional. It is just black with the backlight on. Not even the logo appears when i turn it on. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmmm...i don't believe it's cause by upgrading to ICS....i believe your LCD ribbons is damage...try open and close the keyboard slider slowly and listen to the sound...if the sound isn't smooth then the ribbons is damages...you can also feel it when you slide it open and close it...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pastillero:
First download Flashtools from here: http://uploaded.net/file/9o4swxaa

Then download Mini Pro Firmware from here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27376024#post27376024(choose any firmware for Mini Pro)

Then do this:

Make sure Flashtool is installed.

Place downloaded firmware file(.ftf format) in Flashtool\firmwares(by default C:\Program Files\Flashtool) folder.

Start Flashtool.

Click the lightning button and choose Flashmode.

Firmware should appear there, if you have it in correct folder. Choose it.

Turn off your phone, connect USB cable to computer, then press Volume Down button and connect USB cable to your phone.

Flashtool should detect your phone and starts flashing. Follow the instructions.

When it says „Flashing completed“, unplug your phone and turn it on.

Haven't noticed it before but i'm gonna try to observe. Also the keyboard does't light up
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xXxZEExXx:
Thanks for this but before i try it would it void my warranty?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xXxZEExXx:
i tried this but after flashing my phone is still the same. black screen with just backlights lighting. any more suggestions? :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MissLaniS:
Sorry, one more quick question..

How do I make a backup of everything on my phone.. Incase I mess up something on my phone??

I remember I used to be able to do it, and now I can't remember how. I want everything backed up.. Phone & card & system apps & all that.

Any help is appreciated.. Thanks guys!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
That depends if you have custom recovery installed or not. If you do there is an option to make a nandroid backup under backups and storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MissLaniS:
I'm not sure what I have. How do I check to see if I have that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
First, what rom are you using?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MissLaniS:
I posted the screenshot of the program that verified that I am rooted.. So now what do I do in order to make a Backup?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Now you find one of the "rogue" kernels. Look for el29 rogue kernel. After getting that kernel you need to use odin. That kernel is a zip. So we need a tar version of the el26 kernel. That one is by chris41g. You load up the drivers for this phone(setting up samsung kies is easiest.). Then you download odin 1.85. Install and open it. In the pda slot put the el26 kernel. Do not touch anything else. Click start. By the way should have said this earlier. Once odin is installed turn your phone off. Push and hold volume down and powerbutton simultaneously then keep holding until you see a warning in green.push volume up. Now you are in download mode. Connect your phone via usb. You should see the first box in odin pop up with a number. If not do not proceed. It does not matter what numbers are in the box as long as there is a number. Now put the el26.tar into ghe pda slot. Then press start. Once done,push and hold volume up until you get to recovery then let go. Now use the volumes to scroll to backup and restore. Click it then backup. This is only taking a system image. If you want the contents of your as card backed up you need to transfer those files to your computer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ncvikingx97:
I just got my galaxy nexus, and I really like it . I am having an issue though . The screen looks grainy on low light, and it hurts my eyes, even on full when it isn't that noticeable . I am not on warranty because I got it used. It is a 32 gig lte galaxy nexus by the way. What should I do ? Could I fix this?View attachment 1418112
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
One of the known issue of galaxy nexus. You can make it less noticeable by rooting, flashing custom kernel, then changing the color multiplier

Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ncvikingx97:
Okay. How would I change the color multiplier ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Monk4Life:
Use Franco's kernel and then buy the paid app. It works wonders for all kinds of settings you will enjoy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 4580957:
What values are best?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
Its not really an issue per sé. Part of the SAMOLED setup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ncvikingx97:
What do you mean? So it will just take some getting used to?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 4580957:
Ya I guess
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ncvikingx97:
Okay, I am just happy it isn't a complete defect . Paid 250 and it is in near mint with 32 gigs of storage
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
Well yeah, if I'm hearing you right. There's a sticky here about what's normal and what isn't with AMOLEDs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 21productionz:
Have you guys seen the battery stats thread over at the note 2 sub forum?

5-6 hours of screen time is very impressive.

I'm lucky if I get 3 hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hiii_imkris:
3? I'm lucky to get 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rob4828:
Phone does drain pretty quickly with moderate use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
I have a note 10.1 3g and get 12ish hours screen on and 28 hours unplugged per charge. The note 2 has half the screen size of the note 10.1and just under half the battery size but jellybean is more efficient. Given that the other hardware is so similiar, 6 hours seems spot-on giving the scaling- 7+ is possible with the right settings. Can't wait for the Note 2 on ATT- this exynos 4412/Mali 400mp seems to be a kickass combo of performance and power efficiency.

There was also an article on a Russian site from a gnote 2 tester that reported the screen uses around 35% - 40% less power when displaying whites- that HUGE for Super AMOLED since whites have always been its weakness in terms of power consumption. That's getting close to the same power efficiency as Super LCD2.

Come on ATT....hope they sell the phone shortly after the 24th.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hbwheat:
Note 1 life

I'll post a screenshot of the battery usage sometime, but I've been getting incredible life with my Note 1.. The other day I had 30% with 16 hours of use when I plugged it in at night. That's with streaming music for a couple hours,checking email, texts, making calls, and browsing (Normal use). Granted I'm using auto-brightness, dark backgrounds and non-stock cpu settings.. ;) HOWEVER, when the screen is on for long periods (i.e. playing games) i'll drop 10% by the time i'm done.

Soo a Note 2 with a bigger battery and a better cpu should be amazing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
I'd want to see a non-rooted, stock, out of the box comparison between the two all circumstances being equal. Any other conditions aren't really comparing the battery life against the two devices.

Around 13-16 hours was what I was getting with my note out of the box. But running the ROM I'm on, I can get up to 30 hours like I did two days ago or 26 hours yesterday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Honestly how long the battery lasts is not important to me...screen on time is. I use my device pretty heavily day to day, so it will always be charged overnight.

I see an avg of 4hrs screen on with my setup now. The note 2 sees well over 6+...I've seen them even double my screen on time. That's amazing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hitmantb:
Yeah not sure why we are always talk about stand by time, which will always last a full day if you only use the screen for a hour or so.

I have serious doubts about 5-6 hours when I am getting less than 2 hours screen time if I do pure LTE browsing, 3-4 hours if I do pure WIFI or low CPU tasks like reading books. In real life usage it is always going to be around 3 hours. Keep in mind the tests that websites like Anandtech are 100% optimal tests. In reality you will browse a wide variety of sites with different work loads and have wide variety of signal conditions.

Battery is only 24% larger, but screen is larger and CPU Is quad core (even if it is .32nm), I would be pleasantly surprised if stock vs stock it gets more than 4 hours of battery time in average usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Then you need to go on the GNote2 forums. Battery life is stellar. 24% larger is a huge difference and the processor is more efficient.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
With a different SoC, battery and AMOLED screen, I can believe the Note2 has 6 hours of screen on.

But with the Note1, it clearly can't get much over 4 hours of screen on time even in ideal conditions. Standby is great but the screen eats the battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Yeah and for a first gen product with an old processor...basically a warmed over sky rocket...4 hours isn't bad. With the latest PA 2.50 CM10, i can see upwards of 4.5hours.

I struggled to see 3 stock.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lordoftheriffs:
Hello guys, I installed the minicm9 but want to return to original firmware. However, I am stuck at nAa kernel, which is for ICS obviously. I can't somehow enter flash mode and flashing official zip firmware does not change the kernel back to 2.1 stock. Is there a working CWM flahsable stock kernel? Or any way to completely shut off phone and enter flash mode? Thank you
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Your question does not belong in this section, but in the Questions and Ansers...

I don't know if you have PC Companion or SEUS, but repairing using one of those Sony Ericsson official programs will restore the original kernel as well...

You can NOT flash a kernel through CWM.

Hey is there any update on the copy and paste locking up the phone and the test service crashing being fixed for good yet?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
:confused:

I didn't even know there was a bug like this. Care to elaborate? Rooted? Rom? What/When/how does it happen?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
There are multiple threads with solutions here.. Copy and paste your thread title into the search box and voila.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mbergh22:
Yeah I know there is but no recent posts on any so I was just wondering if there was any update on this. I'm un rooted stock rom. It happens when I try to copy and paste anything.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Guess I somehow missed where it was reported in the past....or just don't remember.

Not sure why it would happen, but it seems its not a commin issue. Its never happened to me.

Have you updated to either UVALH2 or UVALJ4? If updating doesn't fix it I would suggest using Odin to flash the firmware again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mbergh22:
As I said I am not rooted. Just do a google search and you will see it was a common issue after the latest update.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
When I say not a common problem I just mean that the majority of people don't seem to have it. I have no reason to doubt that there are others, was just saying I don't recall hearing of it. Sorry if it came out wrong.

You don't need to be rooted to flash with Odin, which is why I suggested it. Plus if its a problem that didn't occur untill the last update it leads me to think something didn't patch quite right, in which case Odin would probably be the only way to fix it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Blair1057:
Woo...

how can I fix it with Odin?
[HTC EVO 3D] chuman72486:
My EVO 3D has a broken wifi chip and is currently not activated for service. I am able to connect to the internet via HTC Sync's USB Pass-through internet, but I'm trying to get it to connect to another phone's Bluetooth tether.

My other phone is a Sprint Samsung Epic 4G running CyanogenMod 10. The Bluetooth Tether option is enabled on the Epic and the phones are paired, but the EVO seems not to see the service on the Epic. If I turn on Bluetooth Tether on the EVO, the Epic can connect to the EVO's tether, but since the EVO has no internet access, it doesn't actually do anything.

The two phones can do other Bluetooth functions such as file transfers and even linking NESoid for Net-Play games, so they are fully paired. Is there an app or anything I can put on the EVO to get it to see the Epic's Bluetooth Tether?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I'm not sure if it fits your requirement or not but FoxFi only supports bluetooth tether on an Evo 3D.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] LukosTheWolf:
I have an Epic running CM10. All options seemed to work well on stock and cleanGb but are... well... broken now. I think the problem is the Epic - it's not "offering a tether service" via bluetooth. You can test this if you have a BT capable PC. Connect each and check their properties. Under the services available there should be some sort of connection sharing. Your EVO might offer the service yet. Mine is blank. I know it's an old post, but my own search brought me here. Thought I would share.
[Android Software Development] sparksco:
First off this guide is only for developers. If you are not a developer or using this to develop something that has to do with android development please don't clutter up the thread with useless post and/or questions not related to this guide.

This guide will cover the basics on how to install Sun Java Oracle jdk (aka Java Development Kit) on Ubuntu 12.04+. Ubuntu has removed this from their apt repositories since 12.04, so this has made it a little difficult for android developers to install and use when building source ROMs. You can use open jdk, but I and other developers prefer to use Sun Java Oracle jdk. Note that android platforms 2.3 gingerbread and above all require Java 1.6. Froyo requires java 1.5 so this guide will not be useful for that. Some ROM sources such as Linaro and SaberMod can build with java 1.7

If you want to install java 1.7.0 jdk skip straight to THIS Guide

Prerequisites

Ubuntu 12.04 or later

Some basic knowledge of Ubuntu/Linux

Knowledge on how to develop for android (this guide will not cover that)

Instructions

1) Download Java

Download the latest 1.6 version of java for Linux from Sun Java Oracle's website. Make sure you have the correct version for your system. 64-bit users download the x64 ones.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Select the latest "Java SE 6 Update" download (currently 38)

2) Install Java

Open a command terminal and enter these commands, pressing enter after each line.

Note the versions will change when a new version is updated, change command lines accordingly.

cd ~/Downloads
chmod +x ~/Downloads/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
~/Downloads/./jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0
sudo mv ~/Downloads/jdk1.6.0_38/* -f /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0/
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0/bin/java" 1
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0/bin/javac" 1
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javaws" "javaws" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0/bin/javaws" 1

3) Config java to be default

This next part will allow you to make sun java default after installing it.

sudo update-alternatives --config java

This will bring up a GUI in terminal to select which java you want to make default with numbers listed for each one. 0 being default, 1 is normally the same java version as 0. Select the sun java one usually 2. Type the number and press enter. Next do the same for javac and javaws.

sudo update-alternatives --config javac

sudo update-alternatives --config javaws

Add java to your .bashrc

gedit ~/.bashrc

Add this to the very bottom of the file

# Java
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0/bin

You must open a new terminal window/tab each time you edit your .bashrc file

Updating newer java versions. Just repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 but exclude this command and .bashrc edits.

sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0

Make sure to run this commands first before anything else

sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0/*
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
Thanks for the tip

When building CM10, we get a warning if version is not exactly the java 1.6 expected. Any issue with that when building CM10?
[Android Software Development] sparksco:
No no warnings. I had some warnings before with open jdk tho building cm10.
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
I see

What is the version of JDK officially recommended by CM team ? Sun Java Oracle jdk or the open jdk?
[Android Software Development] sparksco:
It's all about your own preference. I'm not sure what the cm team uses for their build machines or each individual member uses... I prefer Oracle just because it's updated more with bug and security fixes :thumbup:
[Android Software Development] myepicyear:
Just a small question. I've has Sun Java installed for a while now. I've been building CyanogenMod, and plain AOSP just fine the whole time too. I've noticed that a couple guides, including yours, suggest adding lines to the bash.rc for this. I never did that for Java, and everything has been great. Why is this; and is it going to come back and bite me eventually?

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] sparksco:
I couldn't build without errors on 12.10 without the .bashrc edits. I did an fresh install of 12.10 instead of upgrading maybe that's why but idk for sure. It just makes sure that that version of java always gets used no matter what. You can always gedit .bashrc again to edit it and remove or add things so no it won't be problematic. You can also verify your using sun java and not open java by typing java -version on terminal. It should read Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment.
[Android Software Development] myepicyear:
For what it's worth, Sun Java has always given warnings such about things being deprecated in future releases, and every build has always been fine. I'm not saying there aren't any potential problems, however, from everything I've seen, there have been no problems yet.
