Ugh. It sounds like you were getting an update at you were working on it. Can you reboot into TWRP?

I saw a post about getting around login. I could not find it right now, but here's a tip I did find:

From password page, Hitting home key, then trying again, will bypass password page.

Does holding the power down for 20 seconds and then power on normally help.

If you press the power button 6 times in quick secession does it restore your kindle to factory?

Does it still mount as a device/drive when you connect it to your PC?

Can you connect it to your PC and type adb devices in a command prompt? Does it list a device?

hi all -

I realize I will sound like a n00b. But I am looking for some ROMs folks use in one of the 3 categories

1.) Speed

2.) Jelly Bean (or fast ICS)

3.) Stable

My Nexus 7 (JB) is so stable/fast that it is hard to browse the web on the Xperia Play stock GB rom, I tried using dolphin and it is really slow. Any advice?

What should I play around with first ? Thanks all

Could someone run Antutu and GLBenchmark 2.5 and share the results with Egypt tests. And also the camera impressions please.

I am about to trade a S3 to get a Xperia T due to blurry camera. You have to have a doctors hands to take a perfect photo with S3 because it makes blurry photos while trying to take every shotin 0.3 seconds. Besides poorly documented CM 10.1 support makes me believe CM 11 will no be a daliy driver for it since Samsung will never go back once the S4 is out. But I believe Xperia T will serve good as a sligtly weaker sibling to the Nexus 4 with a better cam and SD support. But I still do not want to give up from my gaming and want to be sure Xperia T will hold on another year on 3D graphics :)

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] montsa007:
S3

Good processor

Removeable battery

Extra memory room (16/32/64 GB + memory card)

T

Superb design

13MP Camera with HDR (Jellybean update)

Altough I don't use my phone for gaming (Come on phones aren't meant for gaming, if you're a gaming freak buy yourself a console or hardcore laptop/desktop), my main use is music and watching movies and am VERY much satisfied with Xperia T.

Having used various brands (Alcatel, Sagem, Samsung, Nokia, Blackberry, Sony Ericsson, Sharp and few others) I can say that samsung's androids have a very cheap plastic body, it feels like am driving a $100 bike with a rolls royce engine (su*ks imo)

If you are looking to play hardcore games on Xperia T, better not buy it, however if you are looking for camera, music, videos get it pal, you won't regret it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SonyXperiakiasT:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _delice_doluca_:
Thanks for the reply.

I like to play games on Android (or iOS) devices since there are really creative games. Besides it is always easier to carry your mobile phone with you :) (actually the plan is to sell my Note 2 and buy Xperia T and -unfortunately Samsung made- Nexus 10, and sell Girlfriend's S3 and buy another Xperia T)

Apart from that I believe good GPU is determining the future of the phone. It it came with a good GPU people would be still buying the Galaxy Nexus where Nexus 4 was available or too expensive. "Force GPU rendering" may be a developer option for now (because of the fragmentetion on Android world with many lower spec devices) but in the future it is a must and good thing to have. This is why I ask about the GPU first.

About the camera, I have seen many photos to compare and they are really good (I have actually never seen any Xperia T before) But how about the auto-focus noise problem on videos and video quality in general? Is there any improvements on this area?

BTW, since Sony supports devs I believe the camera qualities on the CM and stock are the same? Because I am planning to use the device with the CM or AOSP (PA maybe).

I know I started to sound like out of topic but these are actually related to new SW since CM 10.1 lacked the kernel support for Jelly Bean and the camera problems -I read- are posible to be solved with software.

Thanks again..

so I repaired using the SUS afterwards and its equal to how phone was after flashing the European ftf.)

You have time to tinkle with your phone every day? I don't, it's my tool not toy.

The whole idea of PPC is that you just upgrade without any need of recovering the phone to previous state

and wasting the precious time to reload the apps, recover the account etc. This is IDIOTIC.

XXI century mate. It's just Sony software department having those problems all the time.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
Thats the point I wanted to make, you can not expect everything to be perfect and you don't have bugs if you don't make clean install (without keeping old data) especially when changing android versions ... everyone that had any experience with android should know that.

Ok, do as you want ...

I just wanted to inform you that keeping old data when changing android version is NOT good idea ...

Yeah PCC is meant to keep your data when you update, but that usually works well when you update sony software in the same android version ...

When changing android version Eclair > Froyo > Gingerbread > Ice Cream Sandwich > Jelly Bean you can always expect bugs if you try to keep old data and you don't make clean install, that is the same on every single android phone on every OEM ;)
