[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joaodrp:
Hi,

Please give me some help guys,

After installing an app from a torrent (dont know if its related but it happened after installing and opening it) my phone keeps restarting every time, it boots up normally but after just about 5 seconds in the home screen it reboots again. I need to pull out battery to get it stop rebooting.

I've entered in CWM, but cant wipe data/factory reset, when I choose that option it appears "wipping /data" and it just reboots again. I cant also format /data from advanced options. Also, when /data is mounted I cant unmount it also from advanced options. Can wipe cache and dalvik cache but not data. Cant use the phone!

I have Omega v36 with superSU and CWM touch in it. How can I solve this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgbuffguy:
Happened to me once also. Idk which app you installed but I had installed privacy guard and it resulted in a boot loop. The 5 seconds it gives you at start, try to go in settings then applications and uninstall the app which caused this. Took 15 minutes of me trying and I lucked out and uninstalled it. Phone been fine after that

I've tried, but as soon as I hit the "unninstall" the phone reboots. I guess trying to interact with something in /data makes it reboot.

I am going crazy!

I am having this same problem with my ACE 3 Duos, and it is DRIVING ME NUTS!

I searched all over the internet

- It starts up normally then reboots within 2 - 4 seconds

- I managed to let it start on SAFE MODE it didn't work! still rebooting!

- I wiped the cache and it didn't work

- I am leaving the Factory Reset as a last option ((cause I didn't back up my data and I have bad experience with back ups))

- much important info on my phone ((about my work)) and don't wanna lose that

- I think I can save it cause it is booting normally then something goes wrong

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nemov:
Hi guys, I've had my new toy for a couple of days, flashed ics rom and root is running like a dream... And I'm really pleased. A step up from my last tab 8.9. However I noticed that at the top left corner there is a tiny bit of play (movement) between the screen and the aluminium casing (if I press down on the screen) . I'm talking maybe 0.5mm or less... But the other corners are solid. Also if I press the casing just below the g of the Samsung logo, pushing the casing against the screen, then there is also a tiny bit of play there too. Is this common? Or could my "used like new" purchase from Amazon have had a screen or battery replaced?

Otherwise the condition is perfect so I should probably shut up and stop complaining!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nemov:
P.S Would be helpful to hear from anyone who has actually opened up their tablet, as I am thinking this is what has happened.... Many thanks!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] noreaga2010:
I've definitely got this too on mine which I bought brand new about a month ago. Bottom right hand corner clicks when pressed, doesn't bother me much but should be covered under warranty. For the record I've dropped mine a few times, nothing major but could explain the problem.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jerverg:
Wow. We have the same issue. Lower right hand corner. There's clicking when I press hard.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] earthman5678:
This is a common problem, something to do with the clip design and it is on all 4 corners. Even after you have fixed it, it will come back in due time so I stop thinking about it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Sirocco_:
Hi guys,

I'm experiencing the same issue with my tab, albeit a bit worse -- there is a slight screen lift at the left side near the SIM slot. It doesn't bother me that much but considering that this is a premium device, I would've expected better quality...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jugernot:
My 16gb HTC Flyer was running the OTA HC load and I decided to upgrade to a Jelly Bean ROM. After loading CWM (Flyer_CWM-Based_Recovery_6.0.1.1_HC.zip) recovery successfully, I loaded the NexusFlyer v1.2 ROM on the SD card and rebooted into CWM and did wipe data/factory partition and wiped the cache. Then I installed the new ROM and it rebooted.... to a never ending black screen. I had to load cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.img just for the power off option, so I could shut it off.

Here is info on my Flyer:

HBOOT 1.11.0011

Radio 3822.10.00.07-M

Can anyone point me toward my best bet to get my flyer back up and running? Everything I'm finding is asking for specific version of HBOOT like 1.11.0003 for revolutionary load. At this point, I'd be happy just getting Honeycomb back, but ICS/JB would be better obviously.

Any help would be appreciated!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Sounds like you are not s off. Run your hc ruu of flash a hc ROM like virtuous that does not use a custom kernel

Flyer
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jugernot:
You are correct, it is still S-ON. I assumed (wrongly...) that I wouldn't need it, as I've burned several ROMs on my Evo 3D with S-ON. Looking as downgrading to GB to get 1.11.0003, so I can use revolutionary to get S-OFF.

Thank you!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jugernot:
Well, so far, i'm failing...

I followed the steps at: Downgrade from HC beta leaks or official HC OTA to Gingerbread. and the RUU install fails saying "Unknown error: 155" I'm back into my boot loader, but otherwise it doesn't look like I can update via the RUU that I chose (RUU_Flyer_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.36.1540.32_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_191425_signed.exe).

Can I install any rom.zip files with S-ON or can I only update via RUU?

Thanks for any advice!

Other than update via RUU to an older HBOOT (older than 1.11.0011)... can I S-OFF any other ways (other than Revolutionary)?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jugernot:
Got past the part above by relocking HTC bootloader and the RUU loaded just fine. Then I ran revolutionary and it seemed to install fine with S-OFF. Afterwards, I installed CWM 4 and tried to burn nexusflyer v1.2 again only to get stuck at the white HTC screen on boot. I did find some stuff online about pushing boot.img from nexus flyer directly through fastboot, so I went ahead with that. No change...

I reran the RUU and am now back on a stock GB rom and am stuck with a seemingly non-upgradeable tablet.

any ideas why I'd get stuck at the white HTC screen after installing rom via CWM?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
You need to be on honey comb to flash this rom

Flyer
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jugernot:
Any particular HC ROM? Since I have successfully run Revolutionary, i should be able to just burn any HC rom, right?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
You need honey comb hboot first

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358758

Then you solo be soff honey comb and can flash freely

Flyer
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
To flash any HC, ICS or JB custom ROMs, you need to be on the HC hboot.

To flash any GB custom ROM, you need to be on the GB hboot.

Also, if you are S-On, you need to extract boot.img from the ROM file, then flash it via fastboot. But sounds like you are S-Off now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jugernot:
Ok, I was under the impression that if I used the revolutionary utility to gain S-OFF (while also replacing the OEM HBOOT) that I'd be able to flash any rom.

Here is what I've done so far:

1. started with OEM HC with 1.11.0011 hboot

2. unlocked bootloader using HTCDevs.com

3. Used GB RUU to downgrade to 1.11.0000, to flash revolutionary.

4. Ran revolutionary, which replaced hboot with 6.10.1002 and loaded CWM 4.

So, understanding that I need to be using a HC rom to get to Jelly bean, will this replace my hboot or do I need to be S-ON again? I'm not really sure where to go from here, as I've tried flashing a HC rom and keep going back to a black screen. I thought I needed to be at S-OFF to get it to work, but have I headed down the wrong path?

I will try the post you suggested, mcord11758 and will report back.

I appreciate all the help.

Check out the video.

Lower benchmark score than the Galaxy S3 and battery drops from 97% to 93% in 5 minutes of use.

Not impressed Sony.
[Xperia Z General] fareeed:
Isn't that a test unit though? Plus benchmarks don't really mean that much, it's the actual user experience which is important I think :)
[Xperia Z General] ssj_jaypee:
What would the difference be?

The phone is coming out next month. Production has started already.

I don't blame the hardware though. The S4 Pro is powerful.

Most likely Sony screwed up the software.....

Also battery needed to be bigger.

Why in the love of god didn't Sony follow Samsung and use a bigger battery like the Note 2? :crying:
[Xperia Z General] fareeed:
I see what you mean, the actual production devices could ship with different software I don't know? I agree about the battery though we'll just have to wait for a full review I guess
[Xperia Z General] MrBelter:
Engadget got the ZL at 13,589
[Xperia Z General] katamari201:
It's an S4 Pro with quad-core krait. Just like the Droid DNA and Nexus 4. Stop worrying about benchmarks, especially when it hasn't even been released. It will perform like every other S4 Pro phone, give or take a small margin.

The battery complaint is even more ridiculous. So many phones get updates on launch day fixing battery issues and they keep tweaking it with each update for months after release.

The biggest disappointment is the display. It looks exactly like a bigger version of the Xperia S/Ion/T with all the problems. Washed out look with poor viewing angles and contrast. Sony likes to turn up the brightness to mask the poor contrast. It's 2013. HTC doesn't even make displays and their SuperLCD IPS display is far and ahead the best. IPS displays on LG are also good as well as the one on the Lumia 920. Sony displays continue to disappoint.
[Xperia Z General] Nepythys:
The Ion has a pretty good display, dunno what you're talking about, many people agree with me. Probably one of the best out there.

I got the S which seems to have a pretty nice one as well, maybe almost the same as the Ion. The only washed out display that Sony produced this year on a high-end device is the one on the T. Over-saturated colors don't necessarily mean better displays.
[Xperia Z General] fcb13:
The ION has the best display. Take a look at the thread in the Xperia T forums that compares the ION, T, and S in terms of display.
[Xperia Z General] katamari201:
I never said anything about oversaturation being better. You are making assumptions that I prefer the blown out colors of AMOLED or the extra warmth of the SuperLCD. I mentioned the LG display looks better than the Sony one, and it is even LESS saturated than the Sony display. The point is Sony does not have a single IPS display on their phones. It is 100% agreed upon that IPS is the pinnacle of LCD technology and has been for years. Professional monitors from NEC, Dell, and HP use IPS panels. The colors and contrast do not shift when viewing off axis, and that is important for an even image, even when looking dead on. LG and HTC have been putting IPS displays on their phones for years now. Sony has no excuse. If you live in a bubble of Sony phones and never look at any other smartphone, I'm sure the display looks great. But there are plenty of reviews stating the obvious. The poor viewing angles are becoming increasingly unacceptable in a premium smartphone. The flaws are even more apparent on a small mobile display that you move around and use at different angles. It's not some nice monitor you prop in front of your desk and sit perfectly in front of.
[Xperia Z General] guilhermedsx:
Still way prettier and with far better UI than TouchWiz.
[Xperia Z General] EL_BELLACO:
scores slower because of the Full HD screen ;)
[Xperia Z General] Felimenta97:
Final results are close to 20.000 in AnTuTu...
[Xperia Z General] dyepnoodle:
its a prototype so definitely the software isnt optimized yet, wait for the final release and then start whining.
[Xperia Z General] guilhermedsx:
That's probably the issue. This thing rendering everything in fullHD, the S3 does 720p only, so of course it will be "faster" in benchmarks.
[Xperia Z General] monivan:
I've seen droid DNA got 19k in antutu with that resolution..

Send from my stupid lt26i
[Xperia Z General] someone755:
Yeah, well the Z can score higher than that -- and with XDA here, it's bound to go higher than 22.000

I don't know what Sony's game is, but why the onscreen buttons? That only takes away from the display! For some reason, only the GNex looks good with those, maybe because it doesn't have any extra buttons?

Anyways, I still think the best buttons were on the HTC Desire. You couldn't miss those. :P
[Xperia Z General] zackspeed:
About what I expected and not low at all for a stock device. You have to keep in mind most of the top scores on Antutu are with custom kernels and roms. As for battery I am not worried about it as it has not really been a issue with the newer Sony stuff.
[Xperia Z General] Felimenta97:
I think it's better. When not needed, they will hide themselves and show the full screen.
[Xperia Z General] brangalm:
Agreed. And I'll be hiding the on screen buttons completely, and using gestures instead, meaning that I get the complete 5" !!

Very glad Sony did this, was waiting for someone to stop making redundant buttons.

Now if only they actually gave it a removable battery, then I'd be sold 100% (mostly talking about the ZL, I can understand the Z)
[Xperia Z General] Zappy24:
Ummm I should point out the S3 gets around the 9000 range in Antutu and the Nexus 4 which runs the same processor as the Z gets around 16,000 which about in line with that benchmark so... wtf are you talking about. Also *GASP* a phone lose battery while doing intensive benchmarks I am soooo shocked. Obvious troll post.
[Xperia Z General] ratcom:
I'm sorry but I agree "that" much battery use is crazy bad so much so I'm sure this will not be the case on production models.
[Xperia Z General] nickholtus:
Thats because of benchmarks

Xperia p loses 20% with benchmark (antutu)
[Xperia Z General] xiFIL:
ithwalk there

Personally onscreen buttons for me are much better than physical buttons, whats more is that they can disappear when in full screen, not the same can be said for my s2's hardware buttons which light up 24-7.
[Xperia Z General] indycar:
view angles doesnt define quality of display and i kinda use phone for myself not for million of peeps around me

so the dont need to see whats goin on my display
[Xperia Z General] Mockingbird:
That video means nothing , at Ces that phone is used 99% of the time , openimg apps , a lot ! Ofc it drains battery.
[Xperia Z General] krabappel2548:

[Xperia Z General] androidindian:
battery 24 hours is sufficient .. really! who needs more practically.. xperia z is comfy with that

development wise sony is freakin awesome. they provide sources , stay close to aosp and qcomm codeaurora keeps getting regular updates on the latest android versions

chipset is same as n4

sony design aesthetics are beautiful and premium.

sammy.. low build quality. no aesthetic design gui and both hardware wise.

development support = 0.

developers always frustrated

their updates are a year late with security and brick bugs.
[Xperia Z General] limestar:
Guys the final software is out today. Also the battery is very good for what's packed in. All day use...
[Xperia Z General] xiFIL:
You've made like the same post twice, it's as if your convincing yourself on buying the Xperia Z instead of any other device, If your going to get it, good, i mean the Xperia Z is not the BEST phone in the world, it really suits different people, some prefer the note 2 for work and buisness and some prefer the s3 for its lightness and performance, its a matter of choice really, i mean its not as if the whole reason you get a phone is because of AOSP roms or CM, its because of the hardware really, if you feel strongly about roms buy a nexus 4 :D!
[Xperia Z General] Eddiemc:
Figured to ask here since Google didn't answer me sufficiently.

Does the z have a proper notification light? As in proper; preferably multiple colors, but hopefully at least a light.. If not then "Sony screwed up the z"
[Xperia Z General] krabappel2548:
Notification lights are multi-color LED's I think so they can have more colors :)

So if it has one, it would be multi-color and I highly doubt the fact that the phone won't have a notifocation light :)
[Xperia Z General] Riyal:
Xperia Z has a notification light but it's like the old notification leds(Small dot which blinks) like on other android handsets unlike the Xperia ZL that's located on the lower part which changes color based on the display's color.
[Xperia Z General] realfelix:
AW: Sony screwed up the Xperia Z

When i see this as a ex- xperia s user I dont understand why you even whine more. The device isnt released come on.
[Xperia Z General] Ace42:
Nexus has throttle even on low temps. Thermal is fixed on root and it's possible to get 18/19k with stock frequencies.
[Xperia Z General] limestar:
Yes has notification light in different colours. Can't set them though in stock software that I can see.
[Xperia Z General] RCJ89:
@Limestar I have been trying to find out about the audio of the xperia z but no such luck so far. Could you comment on how loud the phone is for example is it louder than the xperia s/t and ARC the Arc/PLay has been the best sony phone in recent years for audio as they are both loud and have excellent bass. MY Galaxy note 2 is loud enough but lacks bass, the xperia t had loads of bass but lacked the loudness so in the street u can hear everything around.
[Xperia Z General] limestar:
With headphones plenty loud enough. The speaker on the phone is loud enough four notifications and YouTube videos. But it's only one speaker. If you meant headphones you will have no problem.
[Xperia Z General] RCJ89:
I was indeed talking about headphones. I heard the loudspeaker and earpeice are loud all these things on the xperia t were not great tbh. as long as the xperia z is as loud as the arc/PLAY or galaxy s3/gn2 is and produces bass like the ARC/PLAY/Xperia T, ill be more than happy. Can't wait to get my hands
[Xperia Z General] Riyal:
Does the Xperia Z/ZL have xloud support still or was it replaced by clearaudio?
[Xperia Z General] Felimenta97:
Both.
[Xperia Z General] xiFIL:
Does your C6603 Model support both 3G (Hspa+) and 4G (LTE)? can you verify this for me please? Also how long does your battery life last?!
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
Of course the C6603 supports both HSPA+ and LTE. It supports GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSPDA, HSUPA, HSPA, HSPA+ and LTE.
[Xperia Z General] xiFIL:
Wow! amazing! My initial doubts were aroused due to Gsmarena which states that there are two models of the xperia Z

" Sony Xperia C6603, Sony Xperia C6602, Sony Xperia Z LTE, Sony Xperia Z HSPA+." so i thought that one model would have LTE and the other would not, and how long does your battery last in a day?
[Xperia Z General] kaspar737:
Nexus 4 also had bad benchmarks in the beginning, now it's the king of benchmarks.
[Xperia Z General] SmallsXD:
C6603- Xperia Z LTE: Has LTE but only support for HSPA(850,900,2100)

C6602 - Xperia Z HSPA+: No LTE but pentaband HSPA Support(850,900,1700,1900,2100)

[Xperia Z General] :
Benchmarks, are you serious?

Benchmarks mean nothing. Rating a phone over benchmarks is stupid.

If you really think the S3 is better then so be it.

Don't come onto device forums saying about how that device 'a screw-up', in my opinion the S3 is a huge fail on Samsung's behalf.

'Not impressed Samsung.'
[Xperia Z General] Gregz78:

Just a confirmation that benchmarks mean nothing.

And colours on the S3 are just so saturated and so false...
[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
What they screwed up is non-removable battery... i really dont feel confortablr with phones that dont offer an easy battery replacement, no matter how amazing they might be. Stamina or not, sony or not, batteries do not hold their capacity after 6-8 months...
[Xperia Z General] mattman83:
Waterproof + 6.9mm thick phone = sealed battery.

M.
[Xperia Z General] Riyal:
Then replace it with warranty. I think a battery which can't utilize it's full capacity(if not removeable) is capable of a warranty replacement.
[Xperia Z General] ngvuanh:
You may don't want that but waterproof with removable battery is impossible.

Why don't you go and work for 'em instead ?
[Xperia Z General] mbushnaq00:
I have been searching everywere for this feature, but couldn't find a demo or even a screenshot for hiding the onscreen buttons and using gestures instead.

Can only do that with root.
