[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post-mortem:
Remove SD card & put it in your computer. See if you can read it there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Why can you not connect the Device to the PC ? No USB Cable ? The PC will not recognize ? No PC ? Are you certain the SD Card is mounted so the Device can read it ? Why can you not load your backup ? Are you not able to Boot into Recovery ? All the questions are because I'm trying to get a better idea of what's going on.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] optimuswhite:
Anybody experiencing the problem, sometimes the phone refuse to maximize brightness level because of overheating?

It happen to my phone after upgrade to V10e (asian version)

I've never see this on previous version (v10c)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] alekthefirst:
normal..

that is a build in function to keep the phone from overheating when it is already hot, this is because a screen in high brightness will also produce heat
[LG Optimus 4X HD] L2Deliver:
You dont want to have your phone overheating :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ozeer:
This function is useful for you mobile phone to avoid overheating and extend your battery life >> don't forget that the high brightness will hurt your eyes:)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] optimuswhite:
But I need maximum brightness in case of outdoor daylight use.

Previous ROM never have this trouble.

Does this means that newer version v10e generate more heat?

How it contradictive with europe v10f which reported successfully lowering phone's temperature.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
Just try the v10f. For me it still gets warm, but I can't tell the difference to v10e anymore, it's too long on v10f.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Kermit33:
I don't have experience of this but there are many complaints in local forum of this after the upgrade, especially from those who spend quite a long time playing games Whigthe device.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Yes most wanted is super smooth! But nova 3 lags a lot worse and so does MC4 online, I think it depends on whether the game needs the GPU boost. Dungeon hunter 3 was better too

or on CM10.1?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
There isn't a kernel for stock yet

[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Found a fix for this problem, download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.pruss.superdim&hl=en put brightness to desired level and tap "lock", it stuck for me on MC4 online (which makes phone rather hot indeed) EDIT: there is a limitation, brightness has to be locked before temp limit kicks in

Sent from my rooted P880
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ipred:
This solution didn't work for me and yes i pressed "lock" at 100% before temp limit pop up.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Hmmm, yes I am unable to get it to stick now. I was editing some values like temp_throttle_skin at the same time but it seemed to have no effect so I tried this app. Something I did disabled the limit and now I don't know what. Eurgh! So close! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Sent from my rooted P880
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
temp_throttle_skin is the second temperature measurement parameter, which also caps the CPU clocks when the battery (--> skin) gets hotter than 43°C ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Hmmm, what I did was raise throttle skin which as you said definitely does nothing for that. I echoed 0 to tc2, and used the above mentioned app. Did nothing else! Just repeated my steps and brightness limit still there? So I conclude that maybe I was just granted a lucky break due to kholks alpha kernel. My quest continues :D

Sent from my rooted P880
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
just a small tip from me, i guess it's rom related, so you better search in folders which are rom related. i haven't found anything in the kernel sources that could be used for that. or CM deleted it, but i don't think so.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
all stuff in /sys is kernel related. and the brightness is set via kernel, so it can be true, that this is the "bad guy" ;)

cat /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/max_brightness
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ericprince:
never seen this problem, even if I played for a long time.

my suggestion is, update your rom, it wont change your personal data , and should be easy enough , however bug should be fixed.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ipred:
1) Is your brightness set to 100% all the time and never falls to 87% or 70% later?

2) Which rom do you have and which kernel?

This brightness cutter appeared for the first time in stock V10H and continues to exist in V20A.And i have made clear install (after factory reset i mean ) of them many times.All the users in the my country's local forum are facing this problem with the brightness cutter.

So, my frickin thread gets moved to the "Help and Troubleshooting" thread but this does not?

Anyways, does screen dimming happen with Cyanogenmod RC1 ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ericprince:
1) no...My brightness is always been set to auto...unless it won't change in time... But it still never reach 100% ...

2) V20B HongKong , I'm not sure if this version had fixed the problem, sorry about that....

____

and by the way , I know a app called Lux Auto Brightness, it could set the brightness under 0% and also take over the one with your ROM, Set the brightness with it may avoid the BUG ,also a straight and easy method, worth a shot.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] shadowcore:
1. Autobrightness says nothing. Play a game, like angrybirds with brightness set to 100 and you will see the bug for yourself.

2. It is NOT fixed in V20B. I have tested my phone under the same version. I can confirm that it happens in V20B aswell.

I doubt that. Its does not even require root. It should not be able to force brighness and the brightness issue seems to be Kernel related.

I ask again, does cyanogenmod RC1 have this issue? I dont want to install cyanogenmod just yet.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
please read/search before asking...

this is not a bug. this is intented by LG to reduce the chance of overheating...

and once again, i'm quite sure that it's not kernel related. it's a rom "feature"

and no, CM does not make bullsh*t like brightness cap or something similar

Hi Everybody

I saw many posts about don't upgrade to .62 firmware because it's not rootable, but reading and searching in other threads (because I have a little xperience with other Sony and Sony ericsson models), I found this way to upgrade my recently adquired Xperia Play to the .62 firmware and rooted... and I just wanna share the links with you...

YOU NEED:

1. Firmwares (.42 for root and .62 to upgrade) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1589399

2. Flash tool (Very easy to use and many times, just follow the instructions) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1351299

3. Root method (This is the most complete and easy tuttorial to root and upgrade) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1695514

On that thread they xplain how to upgrade to ICS, but we will use that way to root the .62 Xperia Play firmware.

With this metod, you will have CWM like a gift, to make backups or flash MODs...

SCREENSHOTS BELOW

Thats all I wanna share with you... and of course, thanks to all the developers who made this threads for us.
[Xperia Play General] - Swift -:
I think when people say, "its not root able"

They mean that if you haven't rooted before you upgrade then you can't root using .62.

However if you root on a previous version and then upgrade, it'll work.

Always nice to have a guide for new people unaware of I though :thumbup:

When i rooted my play last time i flash 2.3.3 and in settings did an update and i was running rooted on latest software, but if i did it through pc conpanion it wasn't rooted, weird!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbergnome:
Hi guys. I know many of you have had touchscreen problems and whatnot, i searched but it seems like this one is a bit different from usual. Yesterday the phone was totally fine; i woke up this morning and it had a lot of touchscreen problems: at first it registered touches without me doing anything, but after a couple of reboots it was just unresponsive. After another reboot and some messagging, the problem reduced to a strip on the screen simply not working. The strip is located exactly where the first notification on the status bar is (like when you receive a message and you click on that notification). I have the trueancestor stats bar buttons, so that zone is a tad more down than usual. Anyway, all I did yesterday was a quick game. I think it may be the flex cable not working because of the sliding, but it happened all of a sudden, not gradually. I must say that some weeks ago I had the same "registers touches by itself" issue when typing, but a simple reboot was enough. I tried doing factory reset, but nothing so far. Also I can't use pc companion to flash everything stock back (I unlocked bootloader months ago, even though I relocked it; I dunno if it's locked or not right now), and I can't seem to find a working flashtool download link -_-. I don't think that would help much, it probably is a hardware problem, but who knows. I'm on true ancestor 1.6 LE, stock kernel.

Any help would be great, as I fear the phone will get refused in assistance because of bootloader unlocking.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
Did your phone had contact with water? When my screen had contact with water it registered touches randomly.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbergnome:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbergnome:
Today there were two moments it began to work again, but a few minutes after each one the problem came back. Sigh...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Mine does that when the screen is moist or my hands are too oily. Are you sure you're working in a dry environment?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbergnome:
mhh... exactly that? I dunno, my hands are dry and i think the screen is too; it has a quite thick screen protector (the skinomi one), so even if it got moist that shouldn't be a problem, right? I'm now living in a different town and that may have changed something, but the problem didn't show up until now, and it was sudden.

Also, I noticed that using gamekeyboard on a certain profile I had buttons placed on the strip, and pressing hardware keys mapped to those buttons actually works. This restricts the problem just to the actual finger-touch-detecting mechanism. Does anyone know anything about this?

Edit: lol I heated the phone up a bit with a hair dryer. It works now. I hope it will last and I'll not have to do this again over and over :P

There is a serious hardware flaw on our Atrix's (Atrices?) - the WiFi and Bluetooth module from Broadcom goes bust after a while - irrespective of which ROM you are using (even stock is not free from this problem).

You get random reboots, you only get "Error" when trying to connect to WiFi, and if you try again - it reboots. Same with Bluetooth.

Hi together!

I am totally new to Galaxy Note and I like to root my device.

Since from what I have red, it can be dangerous to flash CWM on a certain ICS firmware, kernel related.

Now I would like to know if there is a safe way of rooting, no matter what firmware I am on.

Please correct me if I am wrong:

If I flash some old GB firmware from Samware with ODIN, I would not have this "unsafe" Kernel from ICS.

Is this even possible?

If so, I can root my device and can use CWM without any risk.

So far, is this working or do I have thinking mistake in it.
