Trials and Tribulations

So, ahh...

I went through it all. Tried to install via .exe and of course that didn't work (already have 2003 beta running).

Then I went to install the radio stack as prescribed in this thread. One recommendation: DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING WHILE IT INSTALLS. I accidentally touched the screen and it went back to the apps and crashed later after boot.

IF that happens to you, it'll sit there at the boot screen for about half hour and then go through and boot all the way up. You can then try to install the radio stack again. Worked for me the second time.

I then also upgraded the rest of the shizit using the WONDERFUL xda-developer tools. Also no word yet on the memory leak, otherwise everything works pretty much same as the AT&T latest official release.

Now if there was some Linux distribution out yet, how hard can it be to get this thing working right??? I'm willing to bet almost anything that it has the memory leak and its usual bugs.

Peace.

Have been trying some roms on new GT-P3100, ended now with the RIPPER ROM V3.

My internal SD has now two parts. One is named as "0" directory. Is it normal, or how can I turn back to the previous state?

Both parts have similar directories inside... thy in advance for any explanation or help.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
Charge it for at least 24hs. It should show a red light indicating charging at some point, just let it charge and then try to start it again. The flashing red light indicates that battery is empty.

If it won't start after charging 24h+, then your phone is probably dead. What were you doing to the device when this happened? Flashed anything?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bartjeh1991:
what worked for me on my ion, was draining the battery empty so you just let it rest for a day just showing the red led. then put everything you need on your sd card and charge your battery again. then after a few minutes you should see you led comming back up and then boot up your phone, enter cwm (press a couple of times the volume up button) then first of all you do a factory reset, flash your new rom, don't forget to wipe cache aftwards, just to be sure. i hope this brings your phone back to life..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] galaxys2Tav:
Well basically I left it on charge all night and it's still on charge now. I did try plug it in to the laptop.

It then prompted to install a driver and did but then jumped straight back out again.

I tried the vol+ & power today and got a vibration and it didn't boot after about 4 hours. So I tried it with the 3 vibrates and still haven't had anything since.

I spoken to sony and they will take it in under warranty but would rather try get it working on my own.

Btw I still have red light no mater what It disappears every so often while it's on charge

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] merseyman:
Taken from Sony Support.

1. Press and hold down the power key on the right side of the phone. If the battery status LED flashes red, try plugging the charger into the phone at the same time as you are pressing and holding in the power key.

When plugging the charger into the phone there is a risk that nothing happens – no red battery status LED as indication of charging, or nothing appearing on the screen.

If the charging doesn’t start, follow the instructions under To let the charger be plugged in for 24 hours.

2. If the charging starts, keep charging the phone until it’s fully charged. Indication of charging is that the battery status LED lights up in red, or that the SONY symbol appears on the screen and then the LED lights up.

3. Update the phone software using PC Companion, Sony Bridge for Mac or Update service. If no update is available, use Repair mode in PC Companion.

This should fix the problem.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To let the charger be plugged in for 24 hours

1. Plug the charger into the phone, and let it be plugged in for 24 hours. There will be no indication of charging, since the battery is discharging during this step.

2. Disconnect the charger from the phone, and wait for 20 seconds.

3. Plug the charger into the phone again. The battery should now start charging. It may take some time before any indication of charging appears (the battery status LED lights up in red, and shines continuously).

4. Let the phone charge until it’s fully charged. Then follow the instruction to update the phone software in step 3 found in section above.

5. If the phone doesn’t charge, send it for service.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] galaxys2Tav:
Thanks for that bud it's been on charge all day even now. Iv just checked it and it hasn't changed the led is still shinning red. I'll put my little one to bed then try it again and see what happens.

Sony have said they will send me out a jiffy bag even if I manage to get the phone powered on just incase I want to send it away
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] merseyman:
Did you keep them down til you got 3 vibrations.?

One vibration is same as power off.

Three vibrations is a soft reset, same as removing battery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] galaxys2Tav:
iv just tried

vol+ & power and this time i didn't get any vibrations

also tried the repair through sony software and as before the phone will be prompted with the noise of something bee plugged in then it'll sound again seconds later to say it has been removed

just getting a bit annoyed with it now :/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] merseyman:
I'd leave it on mains charge for full 24 hours again and try tomorrow,

if no luck send it off.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] galaxys2Tav:
Yeah iv put it back on charge. Didn't realise sony phones were soo much of a pain lol oh well I'll try again tomorrow and if I don't have any luck I'll send it to them. Thanks for the help bud

Hey all,

I've had my N4 for a week now and a couple of days ago I gave the camera a go. I have to say that I'm not impressed at all. Most all pics came out grainy. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm thinking of returning it. Now I don't use the camera a whole lot, but sometimes when a picture presents its self and I don't have my DSLR the cell camera is what I have. I would like the pics to look descent. I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S and with a 5MP camera and no LED flash it takes better pics than the N4. Is it the stock JB software for the camera and using another camera app would fix it?

Thanks,

Chevy
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theabsurdman:
there will be grain in low-light but it's not too bad to my eyes.

if it bothers you, you could use flash; try another camera app, like camera zoom fx, that lets you control iso; or clean up the grain in post with noise-ninja or similar.

i never expect too much from phone cameras but they can produce decent results if you work within their limitations.

EDIT: i downloaded camera zoom fx yesterday and would highly recommend it over the stock camera app.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghaschel:
Firstly, i appologize if i posted it on the wrong place, im not used to xda yet. I came from modaco. I rooted my note 2 today and i noticed the nfc toogle wont work properly anymore. And i cant find a way to replace stock recovery. Tried with odin on parallels (im on a mac - i will try on a windows machine as soon as i get home), heimdell tools (not sure if this is the correct name), and with rom manager. With rom manager i'm able to install it, and reboot into recovery. but when i reboot my phone again, the old recovery is there again. I think its something with the stock rom. Am i able to flash cwm, wipe, and install a custom rom without the fear of the cwm not being there after the install? If not, how can i flash cwm and replace the old recovery?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeeshanonlyme:
First of all Go here and read. Properly. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1896696

Now coming to your question. No it will still be there. Say if you flash cwm before flashing a rom, then you flash the rom. After flashing the new rom the CWM recovery will still be there.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghaschel:
i managed to make it replace the old one.

just in case someone goes through this too:

after rooting with framaroot, i installed the terminal emulator and entered the following:

su

cd system

mount -o remount,rw /system

mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.bkp

closed the terminal and flashed the cwm via rom manager app.

the first time booting to recovery, when restarting the phone, it said the rom could reflash the old one, but it didn't :)

sorry for any mess.

First, this is the wrong place if you have the i9300. This is for i9305.

It's not cool when this happens. Excactly this happened to my mothers S3 also while it was in her pocket and not being used.

Only thing I could get it into was download mode. Otherwise stuck on Samsung screen. I did'nt try to flash something on it because she was afraid of her warranty.

When she brought it to the store they told her the motherboard needed to be replaced. Was not repairable at all they said. She was not rooted and got it for free.

If you live in EU there is a new law that states that rooting does not void guaranty. They have to proove that it was the root process that caused the brick.

I really hope you'll be able to solve this out!

Do you happen to have Sprite Backup installed on your unit and did you recently perform a restore? If so, that may be the culprit as there has been some conflicts with sms and email's.

Sprite Pocket Backup Plus and SMS

There is not an officially released fix yet, but if you email their technical support they will grudgingly offer a beta fix for the problem. I have not done so, because SMS is just not terribly important to me. To solve this problem for me, I simply de-select the SMS inbox in Pocket Outlook for backups and restores - voila!

I'm not sure that there is a better backup program for the PocketPC available, so I'm willing to overlook this small problem until a solution is availabe . . . and one will be.

I've been experiencing weird issues mostly during Spotify audio streaming as well as during playing local files and a video once. It will play music fine for a couple songs then it will stop all sound yet show that it is still playing. From that point generally if I skip to the next track it will hard reboot. I tried a factory reset already but it hasn't helped. Anyone know my options here?

My wife was complaining about something similar today, except hers didn't reboot, but she also might not have tried to skip track. Just to mention though, Spotify dropped an updated version to the play store today. Perhaps that might fix your issue?

You're not the only one. A friend dropped his on Saturday and got a crack all the way across the back/home/menu buttons. I thought these things were supposed to have Gorilla Glass on them... :mad: Anyways, you could always go to AT&T's website and purchase the insurance since you're still in the 30 day window, for $6.99/mo, and then pay the $125 deductible to get a replacement...
[HTC First] rooobbbbb:
Unfortunately it has happened during a video, during Spotify (multiple versions, found a list of many old APKs on their forum) and also during Pandora so I'm not really sure what to do but wait and hope someone with more knowledge points me in the right direction.

I'll probably just leave it the way it is since it doesn't actually affect the glass. If I ever figure out how to add a warranty I'll probably do it now so I can replace it once I'm fed up with looking at the crack. Thanks for the suggestions!
[HTC First] nuclear_eclipse:
After you log in to myatt, if you hover over the myatt menu, and then wireless, there's an option about mobile insurance. If you go there, it gives you the option to add insurance to eligible devices.

[HTC First] rooobbbbb:
Yeah you're right, I contacted HTC first (haha) to see what they have to say about replacing it even though the glass is cracked. If it ends up being 200+ to get it fixed I don't know what I'll end up doing. Sucks because other than the audio reboots and the crack this phone is my favorite android phone ever and I've had a lot of them.
