[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcsullins:
The alternating left-right home button flashing indicates a battery that has a very low charge. It's not an indicator of a corrupt A6 firmware. However, I'm not sure if it's an indicator that you do not have a corrupt A6 firmware (been meaning to test this). Anyway, leave it on the charger for several hours (anywhere from 4 to 24, for example) and see if it's doing the same thing (check every once in a while to confirm it's still doing the alternating led thing). How long it should take to get to where it can boot will depend on the actual voltage level of the battery and the charger used... what charger are you using? If it doesn't boot after leaving it on charger overnight, let me know ... I have something new I've been working on that should help.

EDIT: Actually, the left-right led flashing *should* indicate that the A6 firmware is OK since it wouldn't know to flash them (i.e. low voltage) unless it read the voltage from the A6 chip (i.e. thus the firmware is OK).

What is NFC good for i haven't sees a single purpose to justify its existence right now... However it makes a nice (bing) when it touches my bank or oyster card (before i removed the drivers from system)... Even in my work my shift manager so fascinated about it "All repair&Refurb phones must have NFC working" for what i ask....

Anyone can name a single purpose for it???
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
NFC tags, I use them every day and night to turn off and on WiFi Bluetooth Sound and start the smartwatch program.

Bluetooth portable speaker with NFC, I have it on my desk and by simply touching it the music being transferred there.

Sending photos or files to my friends by touching the back of our phones.

[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
Maybe you should call this "Generic GR (Greece)" or something, because this ROM is customized for Greece. All C6603 Stock ROMs show "GLOBAL_LTE" in their service menu.
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
As long as it doesn't carry any applications that corresponds to Greece and its carriers it cannot be considered as Greek.. I think..
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
But it is the Greek customization... You can look up the customization number (1270-4986) in the official list. There are many other customizations that don't seem to carry any applications related to their country, but still there are small differences between them, so when posting a stock ROM you should always mention which customization it is. Now you're confusing people because they think this is some sort of "global" version, while all C6603 ROMs are GLOBAL_LTE, but they're still customized for a certain country or region (in this case, Greece).
[Xperia Z General] reptile64:
Many people used it until now and it seems to be working fine, I travel a lot and I hadn't have any problem at all, I also tried all the networks in Germany yesterday and they all worked like a charm in calls and data. ;)
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
That's all true, but if nobody is going to specify the customization when they upload FTF files, this forum would soon become a total mess and nobody would be able to find the ROMs they want anymore...

Everybody here mentions "Generic UK", "Generic DE", "Generic NL", etc. when they upload stock ROMs. All these ROMs are GLOBAL_LTE, but there are differences between them (e.g. pre-installed apps, NFC icon, presence of "Sony Account Manager", etc.). When you created your FTF in Flashtool, you entered "GLOBAL_unbranded_LTE" into the "Branding" field, which is false, because it actually is "Generic GR" (as you can see on the customization list).

Because you did not specify any country, your ROM is now falsely listed as "Global Stock .253" (something which doesn't even exist) in this guide, while it actually is "Greek Stock .253". You are confusing a lot of users, so please just name it "Generic GR (Greece)" or anything like that :)

Mobile Odin is an app created by Chainfire , it's in the Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&feature=search_result

It allows you to flash directly on your device without a PC. It flashes from the SD Card directly.

One of the features it includes is "Everroot". This injects root directly into any new firmware that you flash.

Hi all,

has anyone else seen an issue with T-Mobile WiFi calling being unreliable? Its enabled and the icon in status bar present, but calls immediately go to voice mail. As soon as I disable WiFi calling and it switches back to cell network, calls work fine. Switch WiFi calling back on and it either works again or doesn't , its hit or miss. When I place a call during this time it just immediately drops. Since its so unreliable, I just turned it off completely, but I am curious if others have the same issue.

I am on ARHD 9.0 , but same issue was also on 8.1. I have not been on stock ROM since I got the phone.

Hi guys,

I bought Sony Xperia J and 2 months ago I upgraded the Android to the latest version 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean).

After the upgrade the Alarm on the phone does not go off, it starts to ring (the alarm) only when I press the button to unlock the phone, I've read somewhere that when the screen is off the clock is not refreshes properly or something like that.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] dave96m:
I didn't experience any of such problems that you have, but still listen to the man's advice. Install CM10. It speeds up your device, gives you options, frees your Android. My friend knows the feeling of switching from iPhone to Nexus 4 and he's like he's enlightened or something, well once again, the feeling is the same if you switch from stock Android to CM or Paranoid. I suggest you install CM because Paranoid made me a lot of problems when installing even though I did everything right, and people claim that CM is more stable...

Just like for AOSP for Xperia Z and AOSP for Xperia S, the purpose of this project is to support Android developers. We know that kernel sources and AOSP configuration is useful to custom ROM developers, and ever since we announced the project, we’ve received a number of requests to add more devices. It is also worth reiterating that the purpose of the project is not to make stable software suited for daily use.

Technical status for the different AOSP for Xperia™ projects

Since the AOSP for Xperia Z was first published, we have been able to replace some of the binaries with source code. More specifically, we’ve dropped the precompiled sensors lib and replaced it with our Dynamic Android Sensor HAL (DASH), which is also available as a separate project on GitHub. This opens up more opportunities for custom ROM developers to adapt the system to their needs. It’s also worth noting that with the newly updated kernel source, the latest version of the Qualcomm prima Wi-Fi® driver can be used. This makes it easier for us to use the Xperia™ Z and Xperia™ Tablet Z as development platforms for this component as well.

The AOSP for Xperia Tablet Z starts off in a very similar state as the current status of AOSP for Xperia Z. And soon, we plan to add the configuration for Xperia ZL as well. Check out the code on our GitHub for the latest technical status!
