[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 420 Ghost:
Hello xda,

Today I was using my XS as usual I was playing a game. The phone then became a bit hot ( I wouldn't say it overheated just got a little hotter) then out of nowhere my screen went darker, flickered a bit and has remained really dim since.

Initially I thought it may be a software issue so flashed to stock .55 ics but that didn't make a difference.

The only thing that does help is cooling the phone, (in a fridge :p) which brings the screen back to normal until the phone warms up again, this made me think there could be a loose /faulty connection somewhere inside the phone but I can't check as I need the correct tools.

So my question is, has anybody else come across this problem?

If you have how did you fix it? (if it's possible to fix)

Or is my lovely XS just dying :'''( ?

P. S. My phone has taken a lot of abuse so that may be the reason lol :D

Thanks to any help in advance :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Li-polymers:
The screen dims to keep it from overheating. Its a safety action to keep your phone from burning.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 420 Ghost:
No man you don't understand my phone screen is PERMANENTLY dim and it didn't overheat because previously I've felt the phone get hotter than it did.

Im nearly sure of the cause now, it must be some form of loose connection. I will report back with facts once I can take it apart.

Any other ideas still welcome, would be nice to hear from someone who's fixed this before.

The little holes on the earpiece speaker have been getting blocked up by who-knows-what over time. No big deal as far as sound quality goes, but I'm having a hard time seeing the notification LED at this point. I've tried canned air, but I think the holes are so small that the flow of gases kind of flows over the grill. I'd also rather get the dirt out rather than blow it in, since the holes are definitely too small for freed up dirt to get out. Tried working some tape against the area real hard with my fingernail to get a little penetration into the holes, that didnt do much either. Hoping someone out there has some kind of magic tip.

Its not too hard to take it apart, I do it every now and then to clean it out, u would be surprised at the dirt and dust that works its way into the edges and around the buttons...

Hello!

i use Emigma 4.2 and kernel Nemesis 4....

Have a question, how turn back stock JB amination and stock fastboot logo (SONY) ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben Ling:
if you use custom kernel you can't change the fastboot logo SONY (i think so),but you can change the Bootanimation

Here's the stock Xperia P JB Bootanimation :cool:

Place it in system/media

Set permissions to RW-R-R and reboot
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] badhon_raj:
can anybody please confirm that?

I'm using phantom kernel but I dont't like the logo. Original SONY logo is great.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben Ling:
yes you can't change the logo unless you decompile the boot.img/kernel.elf and change it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] badhon_raj:
So there is hope. :D

any tutorial?

Can Kitchen do it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben Ling:
search yourself,and you will need to have basic knowledge of editing kernel...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonaLisaOverdrive:
I thought I'd post this...even though I'm a noob...so that others can benefit if possible. If you're using the JRummy BusyBox installer, please be careful with the Advanced Install option. Here's why:

After rooting my phone I installed JRummy's BusyBox installer. First, after checking busybox.net for the latest stable install version, I did a full install without the symlink apps option selected. Then I did another full install with the symlink apps option checked. Finally, after reading through the entire list of available commands and what they did, I decided to do an advanced install. I selected "Remove Symlinks" for each of the busybox commands I wanted NOT to have available in Terminal Emulator.

Soon after the advanced installation, I noticed that Terminal Emulator wasn't working. Then I noticed that my WiFi connection wasn't working...specifically the part in which the phone attempts to lease an address using DHCP. After emailing the developer with my issue, I tried to re-install BusyBox manually based on a link he included in the reply. I could push the file to the phone using 'adb push' but when I tried to open a shell to run the install commands, I would get the following error: exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) . Long story short, I had to re-flash the phone using Odin to fix it.

In the AFWall+ logs, around the time I ran the Advanced Install, there were a bunch of entries like this: ld_library_path=/vendor/lib:/system/lib busybox rm /system/xbin/strings exit. There may have been a -s after the 'rm' command and before the directory but I'm not completely sure. After I flashed the phone with Odin, I opened Root Explorer and took a look at the files under /system/bin/. I noticed that the commands that can be run without installing busybox...like ls, or ifconfig...were linked to 'toolbox'. /system/bin/sh was linked to mksh.

After more research and reading, I'm about 90% sure what happened. Here's an excerpt from the email I sent to the developer:

<snip>

Basically, the "Remove Symlinks" option in your app does either one of two things:

It removes the directories entirely

It removes the symlinks to busybox, but doesn't restore the original symlinks that were present before busybox was installed.

<snip>

So if you're using this particular installer, please be careful with the Advanced Option.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bxyrk:
OMG... i installed busybox with this app into /system/xbin on my dopo d7015 with advanced install... and then the problems started... 0 total internal size, wifi not acquiring ip with dhcp ... no factory restore could fix it. then i eventually learned that /system/bin/sh didn't exist when trying to adb shell. i've downloaded an sh binary and copied it, now i have valid internal total size, and android terminal works... but wifi won't even turn on now! like an idiot i didn't backup before i started playing with the tablet... i have no clue as to how to fix it! please someone help me!

Hello guys,

I got the version RC2 of DOOM 3, and i tried to run it in my Xperia Play, but the game performance is a bit slow and with lag. The visuals is very ugly with low settings, and gamepad dont work. Then, i tried set the graphics to High, and put a very low resolution of 340p. The visuals were great, but the game was unplayable.

What is your experience of this game on the Xplay?

Who have any some tip to get a nice performance, share, please...

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] andmjones:
Hi All

Newbie to these forums, been reading around a lot recently since getting my xda2, particularly since it started playing up. Ive heard a lot about particular ROMS causing trouble and im not really sure whats happening to mine.

Before i start:

1.6.00WWE

02/20/04

1.10.00

1337.18

1.66.181

Its freezing all the , soft reset being the only cure. Most of the time its upon device turn on, while typing in the pin, but it can happen anytime. The memory card has been blanked more than once, sometimes reporting that its full, sometimes empty. This morning i was taking a quick snap with the camera and upon closing the camera app it hung. Turned off and on and the thing wiped right before my eyes. Nooooo. Hadnt gotten around to backing up yet :cry:

My question is could this be to do with the software i have installed or does it sound more like a fault? I will try running it for a few days now with no extra apps installed but in the meantime, any thoughts folks?

Cheers
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Rudegar:
did you do some soft of restore of the settings and programs from the older rom ?

if so then it could very well be that causing issues

often backup and restore dont like restoring on a different rom then the one which the backup was taken from
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] andmjones:
The phone came shipped with that ROM, havent touched anything so far, just installed software from fresh. Anyone else had these kind of troubles?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Rayan:
Yes, I used to have the same problems you describe... And I was under the same ROM version than you!

In my case, my MDA2 worked perfectly for about 4 months when all of a sudden it started acting up.

I did test the machine in factory defaults (no third party applications installed) but sooner than later it hung up several times, and sometimes only a hard reset would make it normal again just to fail again in the next hour or so.

So, out of desperation I decided to install 1.72 ROM Upgrade and voila!, several months now with no problems what-so-ever!!!! :)

Here's my new Dev. Info:

ROM Version: 1.72.00 WWE

ROM Date: 03/15/04

Radio Version: 1.12.00

Protocol Version: 1337.21

ExtROM Version: 1.72.104

I even installed the latest SBP Pocket Plus and it's been working just great!

No hang ups, no freezes, no hard-resets...

Best regards,

Rayan
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] andmjones:
Marvellous!

Being rather new to this game, can i ask what and maybe how i upgrade the ROM? Also, does it matter, the fact that i have an XDA2 rather than an MDA2? What will this change?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roko717:
Hi guys!

I have CWM recovery on my LG L7, and I would like to remove it, and put back original stock recovery. I want stock recovery cuz when i try to do backup with LG PC Suit, and phone try to go in some backup mode, i boots-up in CWM recovery, and the LG PC Suit says that backup failed.

If someone knows the solution for my problem, that would be great. I would like to put back the stock recovery, or to do backup over PC Suit with CWM installed,

Sorry for my English, and thanks for help!
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilatibi:
Why do you want to make backup with pc suite? Make it with cwm. Believe me it's better, and easier way to make a backup.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roko717:
well, it not just backing up what i need, i also need functional restoring, and i have the same problem with that too. i reinstalled my windows but i saved my old PC Suit backup files fom My Documents, now I would like to put back on my phone that old backup, but i dont know how. can i use my backup files form PC Suit, to restore with CWM ?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roko717:
I somehow managed to get what i want. I've put phone into update mode, flashed original ROM, and then tried to do backup, and everything worked good. I tried this before, few times, but it didn't make any changes on how the phone reacts when i try to do PC Suit backup. I don't know why did it worked now, but it worked, and that's important to me. Thanks for help!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Vvh:
I've noticed that while viewing something my phone sometimes changes the brightness, not drastically, but noticeable still, especially if the background is white. My auto brightness is off and I'm running stock and not rooted. I was wondering if it was something with my phone or is it normal?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] DiZzyBonne:
Is your sleep timer set to Auto Sleep? It dims the phone automatically if you're not moving it enough. Try changing it to a set timer and see if it still does it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Vvh:
Just tried it at your suggestion. I tried it for 45 seconds then a minute it still happens. The best way I can describe it is if you use blinkfeed or any rss reader that has a light theme or even a web site like this. If you see a picture, then scroll away from it like you're reading the rest of the article, it'll dim a little bit.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Skyymiles:
As mentioned above I believe this may be the HTC Ones auto screen tone adjusting similar to how you put your home HDTV color temps on Dynamic, Standard, Movie, Sports etc. The HTC One like the Samsung S3 both utilize a battery saving technology used to automatically adjust the tone of webpages and other pure white screens by conserving battery power. I would try viewing the same screen with the power save features on and off to see if there's any noticeable difference. I don't believe there is a specific setting for this technology on the settings panel in the One like there is on the S3.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] DiZzyBonne:
Hmm, I can't get this to reproduce. The only thing I can think of is the stock web browser has a setting to dim webpages that are still loading, but I don't think that helps you any. Sorry :(.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Vvh:
Skyymiles

I've also tried just tried what you suggested, it still happens, which is strange.

DiZzyBonne

I tried that too, tested it with Naked Browser and Opera Mini.

Still, thank you both for trying to help, I appricate it. I'm still within the couple of days to return, so I'm just going to go and see if I can get a swap for another HTC One.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] x714x:
Do you have power save mode on?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Vvh:
No, not originally. I did turn it on, tested, then off again to see if that did anything but to no effect. Still, this won't push my away from the phone. It's a beautiful piece, I just hope the swap will fix that.

I have a big problem with my Xperia Z...

I put it in 'Flight Mode'...

I then threw it into the air.

Rather than flying away (as expected), it came down onto the concrete.

Both the screen and the glass on the back are shattered.

The screen doesn't work and has a blue line down the centre.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks, Paul. I'm using it at the moment and it seems good. Haven't bothered remapping the buttons though - I find they're quite stiff and difficult to press compared to just taking on the screen.

Have you noticed how it refreshes the page every turn though, rather than every six like on the built in reader? It's a bit jarring. I'm wondering if anything can be done about that. I might start just downloading my kindle books as epubs and using the built in reader.

I installed this (before the regular kindle) and the page turn buttons only work in the menus of the app, not the book itself. I see you mention "Nook Touch Mod Manager", which I dont see on my list of available apps (I used touchnooter package).

Is there a setting or something I am missing?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
NTMM comes with rooting via Nook Manager. I just finished a book on the Kindle app and exclusively used a light touch on the right side of the screen to change pages. That's how I do it in the stock reader as well. Saves wear and tear on the hardware buttons and requires less energy :)

But you gotta love it or do something different.
[Android General] alanlockwood:
I got an Epic and before I had a Galaxy Ace. I'm used to having a phone that can last at last a day doing little with it. Few people call me or send me messages, but I like to use the wifi or 2G to remain updated about emails and Facebook posts. With my Ace I didn't have 3G, only 2G. This phone has 3G and 4G. I can turn off the 4G, but there is no way to enable 2G only.

I installed all apps I could find to do that, but none would do the trick. Maybe Sprint doesn't use 2G anymore? My service provider is Ting, and they use Sprint networks (in case that's relevant).

The other thing is the processor. How do I know if its running too fast when three phone is idle?

I updated to ICS and have root.

If my battery drained when I'm using the phone, that'd be ok. But it drains in my pocket without my using it. That's why I think it must be either the connection or the processor.

Do you have any idea, guys?
