Woah, woah, woah... I think you are getting stuff waaaaay to seriously. Chill the f out men, its a tablet, not a 300k house.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
last 3 years if been thru lot presure, my childhood was awfull, never got any help anywhere.

I'm not the kind off guy that suicide over just a tablet, but when i see nothing but corrupt world everywhere, i can only feel sad and depressed and verry angry........

Don't wanna life that way, if seen nothing positive happening so far, sony is the ultimate proof that its only about making money.

and that every big company is a evil company.

They contribute nothing to decent well payed jobs for people like me, for that i hate them.

I think we all become way to tolerant in this world that big company's like sony or samsung keep crossing the red line, if been thinking for long time now its time to put that line back few miles back again.
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
spoke to peterT on skype

the tablet s1 issue has been re produced by the devs, peterT him self has't been able to re produce it.

peterT is't respondsible for android at all btw, but he has meeting with the devs pushing devs to even release jelly bean for tablet s1 and roll out updates much faster, trying to proof that we customers have issues more often then they find them.

he's bassicly just community manager doing what he's supose to be doing.

Anyway i don't really have any news for now, if their is news he'll will defiantly post about it.

It would help btw if you guy's gave this a try

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S54dHJhbG9naWMuYW5kcm9pZC5sb2djb2xsZWN0b3IiXQ..

And send logs over to zerokewlspam@gmail.com and include what tablet you own the tablet s1 or xperia tablet s

i'll check the logs then for any specific errors see if their pattern in these logs i am asuming they all have the same errors.

if set this mail acount up just for logs btw if you wanna add me on skype you can send me a pm with skype details and i'll add.

just trying to understand issue.

another test can consider doing is not playing video's at all for least 2 day's see if you still have shutdowns and freezes.
[Sony Tablet S] biablo:
I observed on my s1 gen tablet issues:

1) screen flickering - light blue area blinks when useing high resources consuming apps ( video, search, antutu, virus scan app etc) blink takes about 0.5-1s its hardly noticed but it appears.It creates right triangle like figure with right angle at the lower right corner (system overlay bug? miniapp bug, graphic ? demuxer?)

2) sony movies app didnt rotate , problems with watching streaming videos from internet ( for about some time playing video slowing down -> app stops the message appears 'you can not play the video' .I have it after r5,r5a update

3)stock browser self shutting down ( usually when open 4-5 cards with sites includes java objects, banners , graphic etc) when opening again all these sites loading again, even if I turn off tablet. ( browser must have assigned own ram from system and remembers it - overload it may result shutting down) I suggest include rule to clean ram when app closes.Also with dev option bacground process limit max 4 processes on

4) sometimes standard (stock) keyboard self minimalises during posting on eg xda forum, sony community forum. to continue I must click on area again to show keyboard again.

5) sleep of death after r5,r5a . Reproduction for it: reading ebook with sony reader app or adobe. Tablet is chargeing (in dev option : debug , stay awake , allow mock - all turned off) display (sleep after 30min) , wifi turned on .

No other app on background except readers .Next leave tablet for about 45min.

After 30 min screen turnes off - the problem is the power button doesn't wake tablet. Need push restart button or about 10s power button to start the system again

6) loss wifi signal, disconnects in vary routers. Long time waiting to connect to network after sleep mode

7) camera app sometimes force closes - stops responding after taking a picture, the picture or movie doesnt appear on low area plate-like. Need clear camera app data to fix it. But this problem is in future again and again.

9) I dont know if its is issue but I demanding exFat support on sony tablet s, video and music unlimitted on more countries

thats all I think about. If it will be fixed I will be full satisfied
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
Got call from chris mcdonalds, this issue has just gotten high priority to be fixed asap, he told me to be patient because this issue is known and is taking bit longer to be fixed.

Anyway if their is news i'm first one to known will receive this news within 2-3 business day's
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
I experienced all the issues and much more, the status bar disappearance issue is due to the System UI trying to render but there is other stuff forcing itself in while the device is trying to stop malfunctioning but the tegra chipset is not helping at all meaning that it is too much for the graphics, I do have a screenshot of the log somewhere.

That issue occurs when while your in the application draw in ultimate lag, opening the notification shade will only hide the status from the bar and not show it in slowness causing too much so the Android System attempted to try to do something about it but the issues where so bad that the "2 force closes detected must stop application to gain stability" feature in the Android System cannot do anything about it since the "application" keeps opening since it is an important part of the Android System so the Android System opens the application but there is too much code and bugs going in the same time that there is too much conflicts causing it to force close constantly and sometimes the launcher can join in with the conflicting killing the wallpaper and flashing the application draw switch and guest mode switch, sometimes it really goes so bad that it crashes in a loop to the boot animation onto the system with the system ui force closing constantly, lagging causing the system to crash the system server (yes that is how it ends up in the boot animation) going into the same loop and to brake the loop you need to power the device down.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
There's two type of ROM upgrades: Operating System ROM upgrades and Radio Stack Upgrades.

Radio Stack Upgrades:

Radio Stack upgrades are distributed by the devices resellers. They come in packages with names that may or may not include "Programme B" or "RSU", and they are usually about 2 MB in size. Version numbers are a mess, and lower version numbers do not mean earlier versions. There's at least three different paths of version numbering out there, and the version number on the file doesn't always match the version number displayed at boot and by 'Device Information'.

The official Radio Stack Upgrade process is a mess. We've seen way too many people wreck their devices doing nothing weird or strange. Our advice regarding Radio Stack upgrades is to get them from your own device provider (so you know it's for you type of device: 900/1800 or 900/1900 MHz), and to only upgrade if you know the upgrade will fix known issues that are bothering you.

Operating System Upgrades:

Operating System upgrades are distributed by the resellers in packages whose names may contain "Programme A" or "RUU" (to confuse things, RUU stands for "Radio Unit Upgrade", even though they do not upgrade the Radio part but the PDA part). Operating System upgrades are usually 15 MB in size, and unless you use our utility 'adaptROM', they will only install on phones sold by specific resellers in specific markets.

In this community, the OS is sometimes also distributed as .nb1 file, for use with our XDArit tool. These files are often zipped to about 15 MB, uncompressed they are 32MB (well: 32 MB minus 256 kB actually).

We've seen a number of people doing terrible things to their devices by upgrading their OS ROMs. Here's what we've seen:

- It appears someone is distributing an EXE file for the PPC2003 ROM that contains a part of the OS in the spot where the bootloader needs to be. People that use this EXE to upgrade to 2003 may experience problems immediately or later on, possible making their device unusable.

- We've observed our XDArit tool in the hands of people that should not be using it. If you don't know what a DOS box is, or think you can rename .nb1 files to .nb0, or if you generally do not feel technically proficient, do not use XDArit. It's as simple as that.

(We also blame ourselves for this: XDArit is very counter-intuitive in some parts, and is long-due for an overhaul....)

- Apart from the above, there seem to be problems for people getting back from PPC2003 to earlier versions of the OS. We've been busy doing other things, and we haven't really researched this yet.

- It seems the exe files Jeff makes are OK, and if they aren't, people would know pretty quickly. We advise against running exe-files from others until we've found what causes this 'bootloader mangling' we've observed.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Lionel:
Thanks for your warnings. I just checked my device information. It reads rom version 3;14.06 ENG, Rom date 10/01/02, Radio Version T313. Being not technical at all. Your advice is not to upgrade the Rom or de radio version.

But that leaves me with some problems. F.i. when I try to synchronize with Outlook on my pc. I keep losing mails. The only mails being synchronized at all are those from my inbox. A series of attachments cannot be converted and there is no way to know which mails they are in. I was also hoping that a rom-update would solve my constant memory-lack.

Are there any other solutions?

I download ROM from O2 site, program A (3.20.06ENG) and program B(4.21). Upgarded my xda with program A, after reset it works. When upgrade the radio program B it hang for half hour. After reset the xda does not boot!

Is there a way i can flash back the ROM so that i can use back my xda?

If so you need a storage card and put a good rom on it.

Re: Upgrade radio fail

I got a problem yesterday night, while trying to updgrade the ROM with the XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2, I got the message from the tool saying it will take up to 5 min and a scroll bar appeared on the XDA and not removing it from its base.

But I accidently removed it (in fact, I caught my foot on the damn wire and everything went to the floor).

Now nothing works, except the diagnostic bootloader when I reset and press on button. Hard reset changes noting.

The screen when I hard-reset it shows the scrollbar that was displayed when I tried to upgrade it.

ActiveSync does not recognize it anymore (PC beeps when the XDA is put in craddle, but it does go further).

Any idea how to put back original ROM content ? I have backup of the content made with Active Sync.

I own a SX-56 and subscribe to Rogers AT&T; I guess my config is identical to a AT&T phone, as it's written on top

Any suggestion will be welcomed

Re: Upgrade radio fail

You need a storage card (32 MB or more SD or MMC will do) and a reader/writer for it,

than write a rom on the card, put it in your devices an start the boot loader, than if everthing went good it will ask you if you wanted to update the rom.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] wise4:
Re: Upgraded - now every SIM used is invalid

Could these symptoms have anything to do with the band selection? The band selection menu in Pocket PC comes up with an error for the correct band and does nothing when selecting a band (1900).

A couple of times (after a flash of the radio) I was able to get the phone to work (dial and receive calls). When this happened, the band selection menu (in pocket pc) showed the correct band. However, on reset (soft or hard), the phone stopped working and the band selection showed error again.

I tried several Rom and radio versions trying to get it to work. The only thing I didn't try was the GSM menu in the bootloader area (I didn't know about that one). I sent the phone back for exchange. If It was still here, I would try reseting the GSM or selecting the proper band in the GSM menu before returning it. Experts - would this be the right move in a last ditch attempt to get it working?

Well, at least now I have an SD reader and two SD cards for the new phone (purchased while trying to fix old phone).

Hello,

I have the same hardware as Yours (in fact this is the same operator :) ). I did a ROM copy (nbf) so I can send You if needed.

BTW, I flushed my phone with the 4.00.16 from Yorch and almost everything was OK (except for access to numbers stored in the SIM card).

In Your case (bootloader still working) you have to use SD-flushing method (as Your bootloadr is 5.15) the best way is to buy SD-reader and 64 MB SD card. Attention !!! :!: 32 MB MMC will be to small. :!:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] doc:
I wish the people selling these phones wouldn't list them as being able to work on any GSM network. Obviously that is simply untrue. I had considered buying an O2 MDAII from Canada for close to 1000.00. I'm glad I didn't because I would be stuck with it and can't use it on Cingular.

I'm forced to use it in Cingular due to my office contract with them. I would have swithched to another carrier if it weren't for that issue.

I am also trying to avoid using a PALM based product for similar reasons so a Treo 600 will not work.
