thats your problem you cant have custom roms on locked bootloaders.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] devilakos:
when you install other custom roms you should follow those steps

factory reset

cache partition wipe

wipe davlik cache (cwm>advanced)

(i also format system but its optional)

install rom zip

reboot... i do this and i have never stuck on sony's logo
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Yes you can but only stock based roms. Which are you trying to flash?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkylight:
wow thanks it worked after factory reset, i never format my phone before installing a custom rom, i thought while installing the custom rom it writes formatting system, wiping cahe.. etc... though i thought i do automatic ;)

really thanks for helping :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkylight:
am flashing XZXperience v2 rom, well as i noticed and a friend before your post figured it out, i must factory rest.. i really worked and didnt stuck on sony logo :)

thanks all for helping and replying me :)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] uncleradio:
Hello all,

I was flashing new ROM onto my device, it booted but then gave an error "process android.com has stopped" and wouldn't respond. I've removed the battery and put it back in - now it doesn't boot, nothing happens. When plugging in the charger - as well, no reaction, no light. Can't get into the recovery.

Does it mean it's dead or is there any solution?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
Boot into cwm and format data and system then install rom. Should work.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelitvin:
I'm having this problem on incoming calls, just from certain contacts. Other contacts get through ok.

What happens is that the phone displays the message "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped", and I don't see who called and not a missed call. Sometimes even the error message closes by itself before I see it, so I don't know that there was a call.

To fix, I tried to wipe all data+cache+dalvik ache, didn't help. I reflashed a different rom, didn't help.

Recently I've synced my contacts to facebook with the Sync.ME app, and I suspect it might be the cause.

Any ideas on how I get my incoming calls work again?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
First do a fullwipe again.

Then directly test it (not flash of another kernel or restore of any apps! )

Choose any Rom which should work for u.

Test it.

If anyway have problems, u should go back on a stock firmware and do a factory reset then.

Then test.

Uf this works now - root and flash Rom

again

Otherwise it's hardware (don't think so) or maybe account/Google related.

Much success and play give a short feedback.

CHEERS ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelitvin:
Thanks,

Any way to debug the problem?

Kinda tired of all the wipes/restores...

I will try to connect to LogCat via ADB and see if there's something suspicious.

Please tell me if you think of other ways to debug this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
U can try to fix permissions via CWM

And also u can try to replace the phone.apk from another one.

But because u already did a fullwipe, I think this won't help, that's why I gave u this recommendations .

CHEERS ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelitvin:
yee-hah!! :)

problem fixed

This was caused by an old backup using BackMyTones, where the contacts weren't in sync with the ones existing in the google database (and phone).

Tried many things (like full wipe and one-by-one app installation like you suggested), but what I could have done to avoid a full wipe was detaching the google account to erase all contacts, then reattach it. This fixed things.

Thanks for the help!

Hi, michaelitvin, I face the same problem. I deleted my google account and sign in again, but still no good.

When one of my contacts call me, it still shows "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped".

Thanks for any advice!
[Nokia Lumia 920] vnvman:
I've been waiting for the Lumia 920 to be back in stock at the H3G shop here in my town. Now it's back but I've been feeling some bad vibes around the forums lately. I hear about users having reboots, lockups, dead phones, dust underneath the ffc, bad battery life, buggy browser, lag, light leaks, creaks, herpes and whatnot, so this got me wondering...is this stuff mostly bs or there's actually something wrong with this phone? Has anyone regretted his purchase badly so far? Did the Portico actually help or it's just too little and too late? Please let me know, because reading all of this stuff really puzzled my will. Keep in mind that at this point Android is no longer an option for me, so the only other phone I could go for right now instead of this one would be the iPhone5. I wouldn't mind waiting for something else to come out, but honestly this 800 feels a bit EOL right now and I'd really like to drop it, my battery is also starting to suck a bit so...

Looking forward to hear from you guys, I'm really starting to feel that itch, I've been using this phone for almost a year now, this is kind of a record to me lol.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Anis108:
You are unshure ... why should you by excatly this phone?

You mentioned all the negative threads but you could finde more positive threads about this phone.

It's just your focus. Go into a shop and test the phone.

If you buy and it serves the first week in a good way you can keep it otherwise return it.

I'm happy with my Lumia 920
[Nokia Lumia 920] boshko:
I have my Lumia 920 (AT&T) for two months and I really love it!

I got the Portico update I the very first day and during the first week of use my phone hung up once. I was worried just like you because I read in the forums many users complaining about the stability issues they had, but honestly that's the only issue I've had with this device! No light leaks, reboots, dust, lag, etc..

There is strange rattling sound when the phone vibrates, but it's nothing to worry about and I got used to it anyway.

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsw3cwkNRng)

Hope this helps :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] vnvman:
@Anis108: Actually I always liked the phone, I love the design, the sturdyness, the screen, the camera, wireless charging, Nokia goodies, and overall I'm just in love with the platform. However I'm also concerned about the reliability of the phone in the software department and I'm also concerned about how the thing can hold up through an extended period of time, since I'm planning on keeping it for a good while. Holding a phone in my hand for a few minutes can't really tell me much about these things, and even a week may not be enough to me, since I tend to be quite picky. Getting a new device is always a big leap of faith for me, especially on contract.

@Boshko: thanks, this is the kind of feedback I'm after...I just wanna hear the good, the bad and the ugly about this phone, because obviously reading topics made by people having issues will make the phone look bad, whereas those about how great the 920 is will gather mostly hardcore fans. I just wanna hear some random opinions to make up my mind here ;)
[Nokia Lumia 920] Ikkari:
AW: Is this phone really THAT bad?

Portico fixed my random reboots...
[Nokia Lumia 920] piaqt:
I've had mine since it was released. Love it. Great design, functions beautifully. Haven't had any of the issues posted. I must be living right.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Montastic:
Have mine since it was released last October. No major problems. I've rebooted twice because I think something was sucking my battery too fast. Uninstalled couple of stock apps (stock portfolio, finance apps) and things are back to normal. Love the camera even though I don't use it everyday. Battery life is awesome for me - I routinely get close to two full days (about 40 hrs or more).

All in all, I'm a happy customer.

As far as forum problems, you have to remember that you're more likely to hear what's wrong with the device rather than the positive. Those who have problems come and post their issues so that they can be resolved with other people's help. If you are happy with device and have no problems, you're less likely to post your positive experience.

I'd say don't go by the forums - try the phone yourself and see if you like it or not.

My $0.02.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ellokomen:
Using the phone for month and a half I can say it was a good purchase:

Depending on the use that you have intended for it, it may be what you are looking for.

If you are a person who likes to hack things, and wants to see how can you make the phone more customizable via tweaks and those stuffs, then this may not be the ideal for you as this thing is very encrypted and secure(for now).

If you are a corporate guy office and exchange will suit you because are optimized for the platform and consume very little battery.

If you are a globetrotter (travels a lot) then the GPS Navigation apps will suit you.

For the battery life there are two points:

on the first 2 weeks the battery will calibrate itself and you may see that after that time battery life is considerably better.

All the apps that runs on the background only runs for 2 weeks if not opened by you, WP8 has this by default, to enable background running again or to reset the counter just open the app (Microsoft did this for battery life)

I don't have dust on my ffc, camera is very good, phone is solid and at first feels kind of heavy but one gets used to it.

the WP8 is still an ongoing project, so many things are missing on the software side, but are on their way.

Overall I like this phone because I bought it and fulfilled my expectations: Sunlight readability, screen usable with gloves and true offline GPS Navigation, those are what I need for doing my job and the phone is very good at it.

The downsides: Some apps make the phone really hot (not optimized GPS Apps, like "Navigation 3D"), the battery consumption increases way more than other smartphones in low coverage areas and drains the phone quickly (30% more o less), still many software features missing.

So far after portico I have had 3 reboots(1 freeze but occurs on specific hardware calls, like turning "bluetooth on" on very rare conditions).

I plan to stick with this phone for a while, after 3 years with android I felt that the platform was not bringing nothing new, new physical design yes but the OS was always the same and nothing new since android 2.3.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Ikkari:
Couldn't say it better.. :D
[Nokia Lumia 920] Droid-o-matic:
I've had mine now for about 3 months. Came from (Smart phones) HTC OneX, HTC Evo 3d, Samsung Galaxy S, Moto POS, HTC G1. The 920 is without a doubt, for me, the best phone I've had yet. Everyone's analysis is subjective. Mine is no exception obviously. I will say only this. I have no qualms what-so-ever about recommending this phone to others. Both the hardware performance and the OS for me have been exceptional. Maybe I'm lucky or the exception.
[Nokia Lumia 920] jasonmsn:
Unfortunately, I'm one of the victims here. To start off, I LOVE this phone - I really do. It has everything I could want, and when it does work it is amazing (wireless charging, NFC, beautiful screen). However I personally am on my 3rd phone. The first 2 had problems locking-up forcing me to do the "power + volume-down" reset. The second phone also got a large piece of dust under the front camera. Fortunately, the 3rd one seems to be working. My wife is on her 2nd phone - same locking-up problem however hers only seemed to lock-up when being wirelessly charged. Now, a friend of mine who just got one is having the same wireless charging lock-up problem.

So I have to ask - what the hell is going on with this phone? By now, Nokia should have all of the "kinks" worked-out, Portico has been delivered and we're still seeing this crap? Oh - and I forgot to mention the "rattle" when vibrate is turned on. Grrr.....

I'm now using an HTC 8x for a while as I moved to China and haven't gotten my 920T yet, and guess what? The 8x works like a champ. Just wish I had wireless charging and more flash storage and I wouldn't go back to the 920T....
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Is it just me or does it sound like that people that have flashed from a non stock ROM are the ones that are talking about the most issues? Is debranding and unlocking really worth all the issues this seems to be creating?

I have had mine stock for 3 months now and have not had one single issue that anyone in this entire 920 section has complained about. There is one very tiny light leak if I look down at the screen from the speaker end at an angle that I would never normally look from so it is irrelevant to me.

It just seems that the one common thing that most of these issues have is they are all on flashed phones.

I don't see the point of unlocking and debranding if the phone works for you as it is. We all know from past models that even unlocked there is very little you can do to one of these to customize it.

I have always been taught that if it is not broken, then don't fix it. If it works and does what it needs to as stock then why not leave it stock? Seems a lot more dependable that way to me.
[Nokia Lumia 920] StevieBallz:
I had rebooting Issues with me german Lumia 920 until I flashed it to the Austrian Portico ROM (I live in Austria). I didn't want to wait for the Update. But I have not had any issues since so flashing seems not to be the culprit. Many of the other issues did not occur on my phone at all.

I'm very happy with it since Portico . Before Portico I had some reservations but that was mainly due to the anxiety that it might reboot again (happened every few days).
[Nokia Lumia 920] driftnut56:
Let me just tell you now, I am a perfectionist in the worst kind of way. I have issues with this phone but for some reason, they don't bother me. I'm willing to put up with them, I LOVE this phone so much. I have the light leaks but they're not apparent unless you put your eye very very close to the screen, in the dark and inspect the inside edges of the phone. If I press on the SIM card tray, the chassis of the phone creaks a bit but it's also the thinnest part of the phone so it makes sense. My phone locks up in standby every now and again so I have to reboot it but volume down + power but it only started happening AFTER the portico update. Also, ALL the Lumia 920's rattle when they vibrate because of the OIS in the camera. It's normal. I turned off vibration anyway, cause I don't like it.

I can tell you, the camera is NEXT-TO-NONE, stills and video. The call quality is excellent. The display is awesome and the durability is excellent and I love the cleanliness of the OS. NFC works on this phone the way it SHOULD work. Intuitively. I'm really good with phone as I used to work for a carrier but I couldn't for the life of me get NFC to work on my galaxy nexus, or my S3. They will be updating the phone this holiday season and it can only get better from here! :good:
[Nokia Lumia 920] americasteam:
I have no problems at all from mine. Fantastic device.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nocturnal310:
well the core functions work flawlessly as compared to other smartphones.

catches gps signal easily for me, camera starts in instance, typing is comfortable and more accurate than android and entire UI is fluid as opposed to android and iphone5 for me.

only problems are the light leak, battery life (but almost all phones have battery life issues unless u use blackberry on 2g signal).

and the dust settles between screen and chassis very easily.
[Nokia Lumia 920] peter56:
I love mine, the camera is great so is the screen.

Don't have any of the problems that others have had, the only issue for me was once I updated the nokia apps to the here versions, my battery life died a death. a quick uninstall fixed that. but now I only have the map app, will try the others one at a time to find the culprit.

Hello there , I need some help , I am new on the Lumia 920 ,I have downloaded through XBOX and paid music songs but now suddenly and after one month I cant listen

to these songs and get instead : "We were unable to determine the media usage rights for this content" error Lumia 920" Its DRM related I think...Does anyone have a fix ? thanks for the help and sorry if its the wrong thread...
[Nokia Lumia 920] vnvman:
Thanks for your insights guys. Actually I kinda made up my mind, I'm getting the 920 either tomorrow or early next week, still can't decide between white and black tho, any suggestions? Are there any differences in terms of durability?
[Nokia Lumia 920] gilesjuk:
No problems here.

Go into a hospital and you'll see people with problems, you shouldn't assume humans are rubbish.

Go onto a forum and you'll see people post with problems, you shouldn't assume everyone will have problems.
[Nokia Lumia 920] stead:
White looks more awesome in person, black hides marks better...

had a white one since November and i'm loving it, post portico its brilliant, did crash almost everyday before but now its all good! Although I do have issues with the proximity sensor (I think) since flashing, as it keeps knocking the display off when i'm on a call, most of the time its not annoying but it is when dialing numbers its a right pain, not sure if theres just dirt on the sensor mind or just a coincidence since flashing.

I've dropped mine quite a few times and the only bad thing is a chip in the corner.

Everyone I know who's seen the white and the black prefer the look of the white, Also the people I know with black ones have bought phone covers...the ones with the white have left it naked, read what you think into that!
[Nokia Lumia 920] Super Chimp:
I have only had two issues with it. When I first got it, it turned itself & I had to do a soft reset on it. This issue has not happened since. Second issue was when it got stuck in a reset & I had use soft reboot to get out of it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] tonyeltigre:
I had a stock lumia 920 from AT&T purchased on release and had tons of issues with the phone. Constant lock ups requiring soft resets, just general build issues (loud vibration rattle, loose top, screen scratched extremely easily). Eventually I tried to hard reset my phone to clear up issues, it bricked and I got a new handset (later version, AT&T branding was globe only no type) and it hasn't had any of the issues of my previous phone. There is clearly something wrong with the hardware on some release handsets that causes a lot of the instability in the OS (I assume processor or memory) and it has nothing to do with custom roms.

I have my issues with the OS but for the most part I like the handset itself
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Your mistake was buying release.. Has no one learned that the release of anything is buggy? Windows? Buggy. Phones? Buggy. Cars? Buggy. Gaming consoles? I realize that everyone wants the newest and best as well as one upping friends and family. But face it folks by now we should all know a first release of any thing is buggy and you should wait for the second version. Possibly even the third version where applicable. Newest is not always best in MOST cases. Mine has only the globe and is flawless and runs perfect with the exception of no flash media support which i was unaware of until my 14 day return period was over. That would have broken the deal for me, but now I am stuck with it and getting used to it and liking it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] thomasshiow:
I jumped from iPhone 5 to the 920; for me the win 8 operating system and app store was good, liked it. Unfortunately, the over heating, need to charge at least twice a day and Nokia care's refusal to acknowledge that there is a problem made me give up my 920 in frustration..
[Nokia Lumia 920] ellokomen:
overheating must be caused by an app in the background, try this:

Enable battery saver and see if your phone becomes overheated in that time, if not, then some app(s) is making that to you, without battery saver, try to press the back button several times until everything is cleaned from the application stack and if overheting continues, then start disabling one by one, background applications until you find the one that makes that to you.

I have had a few apps that kept going in background and I had to disable background activity for them, now my phone lasts for 13 hours straight every day with moderate usage.
[Nokia Lumia 920] coollion:
I have the 920 for a month now and I love it. I use 2 phones, the 920 and a Galaxy Note. Love them both for different reasons.
