[Xperia Tablet Z General] Xelstyle:
Received my Sony XTZ this morning, and it's always fun opening a new toy. I had previously played with this device in the Sony store and had to say I wasn't as impressed as some of the reviewers out there.

I can definitely appreciate the thinness but the lightness did not blow me away like I was expecting. Even coming from an Asus Transformer Prime (586g) with the dock (1213g together) it merely felt like it was at a good weight. Not overly light which I think would have become a negative but I could still feel the standard strain to carry the almost 500g spread across that display with one hand.

Speaking of which, can't understand why there's that gap between the screen and border. Color reproduction was decent, could eventually notice what some people were saying about yellow whites. As an off note, 1080p screens definitely make a difference, and overall the screen does look great.

Ports I think I could live with, given that I would have gone with the cradle for charging.

Performance wise, getting rid of the stock launcher definitely allows the processor to show what its got. Overall quite snappy and generally easy to swap between apps with other things going on in the background. Disappointed that the Chrome app was constantly stuttering or struggling to scroll up and down. A new browser certainly fixed that issue but Chrome is still a favorite to use.

Yet all the same this device is probably going to go back to Sony as the bluetooth/wifi issues are too reminiscent of the problems I had to deal with when using the TF201 (massive issue especially with the 'fixed' TF700 coming out just couple months later) and despite various setups, cannot get a bluetooth keyboard and OneNote to mesh together nicely.

I can only hope though, that another tablet comes out as well designed as the XTZ as I can only deal with lugging my laptop around for so long.

Edit: So upon further reading and experimenting, I've managed to get all the key codes working the way they're supposed to! Looks like there is hope still for this tablet. Only thing left to do now is swap it out at the local retailer, hopefully a painless process, and pray.

Singapore selling quite expensive on this model, it is official SGD $ 688.00 = RM 1,739.00

At Malaysia, official only RM 1,499 = SGD $ 592.80 for Wi-Fi version.

My experience? Disappointment.

Everything is amazing until i try the camera..

The back camera is blurry and its like it has a very low pixel and the front camera is blurry too but its acceptable because it has 2megapixel.

I dont know if did something wrong because i havnt change the settings yet.

I upload an example of the back camera with the SUPER AUTO setting.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] campzalot:
Don't know how answerable this question really is, but here I go anyway:

Would you guys say it's still worth buying the device now after it's been out for two months already? I mean, the price obviously hasn't been reduced yet but with technology moving so fast these days, I don't want to be too late to the party and it won't be too long before Sony will come out with another tablet.

Compressed question: Buy now or wait till it goes on sale?

Thanks guys. This device is beautiful and I absolutely want to own it. Great to see that there is a good development community for this device as well.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] neuteboomt:
I would still suggest the tablet.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Xelstyle:
You're in a bit of an awkward time as there will be a couple tablets coming out with the Tegra 4 chip. Personally I'm wary of Tegra considering the less than impressive performance in both Tegra 2 and 3, while Qualcomm has been consistently solid as of late.

I'd personally wait until Christmas and see what kind of new tablets do come out, and possibly grab this guy on sale.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cmantis:
I cannot get my phone to connect via CP mode. When I check my settings it says the baseband version is unknown. I am thinking maybe this is the problem? Wifi does work though. I have tried reflashing the rom and just the modem in both odin and cwm but it still says unknown. Hopefully there is a way to recover from this and get it reconnected but I am trying everything I can think of and search for and am coming up empty. Could really use some help here and really appreciate it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mindstate:
R u on Stock TW or some kind of ROM? this happened to me after i installed KIES into my PC. If u did, just use the samsung usb drivers, not kies.

Phone Model: Sprint Epic 4g Touch SPH-D710

Roms I have tried: SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED, EL29_Rogue_ET-Stock-1.1.4, SPH-D710_GB27_1014481_Stock_Restore

Modems I have tried: EL29

Drivers: Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_phones_v1.5.14.0

It was working fine at one point and then stopped. Since then I have done a system restore on the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers a number of times, flashed those different roms trying to get it back, tried to install the modem by CWM and Odin, did many factory resets, cleared data and cache 3x a bunch of times.

Phone will connect in AP mode or ALL (but only AP), CP mode won't connect. ##786# gives me "Modem Error: Modem exceptions occurs". When I go into about phone it says both Baseband version and Hardware version are unknown. I did not do a nand backup probably should have. I have been trying to read up on this but still haven't had any luck so am turning hear hopefully for help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cmantis:
I also noticed when I enter the command to check MEID that it is blank. I really really hope there is some way to recover from this but hours and hours of searching hasn't lead me any closer to the solution.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cmantis:
I really need help I just can't get this fixed. I can flash whatever rom I want but baseband and hardware version remain unkown. I have tried re-partioning with pit file but if I do it alone it just resets the phone and if I do it with a rom it fails. I could really really use some help here please.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Have you tried a full restore One-click , say GB27) it will completely wipe all partitions and install the modem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cmantis:
Yes I have tried dozens of times with lots of different roms and while it says writing modem it doesn't stick. I have tried flashing just the modem and still unkown. I have tried re-partion with pit file but it just rests the phone. When I try to flash with pit file and rom it fails.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cmantis:
Ok this is more than bizarre, I managed to fix it but have no idea how. I tried erasing EFS when I flashed a new rom but it failed so I used el29 one click thinking I needed a clean rom on it first and upon reboot it now has hardware and baseband version. But this is weird on the home screen on the bottom left in black text is:

Channel

SID MODE

S/W Version

Baseband Ver

H/W Version

Hi!

¿Are you Root? ¿Are you S-OFF?

Try to clean cache and dalvik cache in recovery.

Maybe exists mismatching between Radio and RIL.... verify this into GetRIL app, and download a proper RIL for your Radio version (you need Busybox activated).

Or... try to flash a new Radio version (search in the forum, Developers section)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] salwansk:
hi guys... i just got five devices HTC ONE AT&T today for my family... i noticed the back button is very lagy ... not just with me.... i tried all the devices and all did have kinda of delay when i touch the back button "when i trying of exiting some websites or app and others stuff... and some times jumped and open the messages or the dial pad.... also it happened with my brothers too.... is that the phones??? like the FIVE of em at one time ???!!! or its just a bug or what ???? pls help in case if that was a manufacture error, so i can take them back before the 14 days ends.....

i used the phone with/without case.. with/without charger... it still the same in the five phones.... its not that BAD, but it happened frequently and its kinda annoying us..:(:(:(:(

thanks

GOOOOOOOOOOD NEWS

this what i got from HTC representative

Dear Salwansk,

I have some news for you that I missed earlier today. I can confirm that we have started working on a touch sensitivity update for your phone. I don't have an ETA for release, however we have some suggestions in the meantime. If you have a screen cover or screen protector, we suggest removing that and cleaning the screen.

Let's calibrate the keyboard, which impacts the entire display. Here's how:

1. Slide the Notification panel open

2. Tap Settings

3. Tap Languages and keyboard

4. Tap HTC Sense Input

5. Tap Advanced

6. Tap Calibration tool

I also suggest cleaning the screen if there is a chance that dust or moisture is on the device. This can further improve your sensitivity.

i can confirm that my phone and my family phones are way better now........

what i did is cutting around the buttons "BACK & HOME"..... now it has been almost 24 hours and i never get the lag again

i hope it will work forever ;)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] BillTheCat:
Noticed this myself. Might be tied to the issue of decreased capacitive button sensitivity. I'm hoping the 1.29 OTA update will fix it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rgoyena:
Yeah same here. I noticed I have to press it at a certain point to function
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] fix-this!:
same here, the back button is slow or sometimes doesn't work. hopefully the next OTA will fix it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] c5satellite2:
There is a calibration utility somewhere in settings that fixes this from what I remember reading a few days ago.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rgoyena:
Calibration?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] salwansk:
that might fix our problem

hey guys i found these videos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxkwyyvOkZ8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v5Oc5-7rbA

in the comments one of the guys confirmed that issue because the screen protector...

so i took mine and honestly, i didn't have any issues with the back button yet.... it has been 4 hours...

but we still some confirm from you guys ... please try to remove your screen protector or at least cut around the back and home buttons ..

and post your result :good:

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mobilecarlos:
I wasn't having any problems until I put on a screen protector, then it became laggy. Took it off and haven't had a problem since.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sliderocket22:
I cut my screen off where the buttons are and I haven't had issues since. A bit annoying, since I want the SGP Ultra Clear but don't feel like tearing them up. I've heard that the Taiwanese version got an update that fixed it completely.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] phositadc:
It's a known issue people. The .13 update fixes it.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhutch825:
Hello,

Let me start by saying I have looked a searched through several other threads but cannot seem to find anything that mimics my problem 100%. I had rooted the Kindle Fire HD 7" a few weeks ago and have been going along with no problem. One day (cannot remember what I installed) the KFHD crashed on me and wanted me to Restore the device in a "download mode" type of screen (used the volume buttons to select restore and power to confirm selection.) The device restarted just fine and was working normally. I went through the KFFirstAide root process again, root checker told me it was rooted. Starting using the options in KFFA to diable OTA, install play store, install google apps, installed Holo Launcher.. Some of the programs did not seem to install properly and didn't like the way things were behaving so I went to the Settings/Device/Restore to Factory Defaults...

After that process finished I am not at an Android setup screen. It has a blue Welcome at the top, select Language below that, Start below that, and a green outlined Android guy below that. When I hit start it says Just a sec.... and eventually get the message Setup Wizard has Stopped.. I can no longer see Kindle Fire ADB in the Device Manger.. Nothing seems to work on KFFA.. I have tried using the fastboot command in a command prompt (says waiting for device) and never does anything..

Basically I would like to know, what steps I may have to take to get the device to load properly again, and hopefully root the device again. IIRC the software version I last saw was 7.3.1...

Thank you for your time and assistance and appologize if it has been discussed before, but I just couldn't seem to find it and not sure what this problem is called to be able to properly search for it..
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krsmqn:
Before. it says "waiting for device", you should have the kindle powered off and disconnected from the computer. Plug it in after it says "waiting for device" and it should boot into fastboot.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhutch825:
Yep, it is powered off and the cable is disconnected. I plug it in after it says waiting for device and it powers up to the Welcome Setup screen.the command prompt on the computer still says < waiting for device >
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhutch825:
When I hold one of the volume buttons and press power on it says Safe Mode at the bottom of the screen. Might there be something I can work with in that? Is there another boot method similar to "download" mode on the GalaxySIII?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onemeila:
Sounds like you just need to get a factory cable and use that to get into fastboot mode. If the device is not recognized by adb using the fastboot cmds will not work on the 7" variant, that only works on the 8.9".
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhutch825:
Is there a way to make on or do I have to order it?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhutch825:
Just ordered a factory cable ... what should I do when I get it?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codepoet82:
You can get fast boot on the KFHD7 using the stock cable and adb by issuing the adb commands then running "adb reboot bootloader" I think it was. I did it this afternoon when coming off the stock ROM to cm10.1

Edit: n/m, I though he had adb but it wouldn't boot fastboot on a restart with the cable. Guess it doesn't help his case if adb itself won't show.

Since your boot loader is still starting up okay, when powered up with the factory/fastboot cable attached it should jump straight into fastboot. You can then use the fast boot command line tool in the adb kit from Google to push either a backup you made previously, or one from a recovery thread back onto your device. Check in the android development section, there's plenty on info on using fastboot.

-Ken
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhutch825:
Ok. I will try that forum when it arrives.. To the best of my knowledge, I had not created a backup at any time so I will search out something from the Recovery Thread.

Thank you

-Joe
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhutch825:
I am just 100% confused now.. I have searched and searched and everything I am reading is just making me more confused.

The cable will put the device into fast boot and will show up in Device Manager as an ADB Device.. I ran option 3 on KFFA and I don't believe the entire system image downloaded as now I am stuck on a screen with a red triangle asking to reboot or restore the device. Neither option does anything.

I have looked in recovery threads for fresh stock images but only find links and directions to TWRP.. Which, if I understand correctly, needs a 2nd bootloader.. And still will need a fresh stock image from amazon. Also, in KFFA it says to connect the device with a normal cable, not fastboot cable, in ADB mode for TWRP and the second bootloader.. I cannot get into the KF to enable ADB like it asks because I cannot get anything to load..

I have downloaded kfhd7-amazon-os-7.3.1 from goo.im and it comes in a zip file. I am not really sure of what to do..

I looked in the Android Development section of this forum and there are only 18 threads that don't talk about fastboot either. Do I need to go to a general Android Development section, not in the Kindle Fire Forum Sections?

I just want to go back to 100% factory original and start over from there..

Also, the KindleFireFirstAide dropbox seems to be overloaded and suspended, so I cannot get the images from there at the moment through their tool.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3pwn:
You didn't need a fast boot cable. All you needed to do was setup ADB drivers and issue the command "adb reboot bootloader"
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhutch825:
Even though the device was no longer showing up in the windows device manager as Kindle Fire ADB? The Kindle was being recognized under Mobile Devices.

I don't know if I will be able to do that now that I used Fastboot to reload Factory Reset through KindleFire First Aide (option 3).. I don't think the entire system.img downloaded before it tried to install it and their dropbox server is down now so I can't rerun the command right now.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhutch825:
Solved

Found a link, finally, to onemeila's KFHD System.img Restore tool... Used the fastboot cabled and got it installed and everything seems to be running flawlessly.

Dnoob, it's been a while don't remember the solution but I did get a factory cable and worked everything out through fast boot
