Problem With Lost Network on Xperia L

excuse me.

i have a problem with Network on My Xperia L. often lost signal on my XL C2105 fw17. I can not connect to the internet. only in GSM only. I've tried to change the sim card and tried several APN, but still could not connect to the internet. in fact often lost signal. whereas when I try the sim card in my old phone, the signal is full and can connect to the internet. I am also so difficult to make calls and send sms. other than that I also had to replace a few sim card from another provider but the result is still often lost signal.

can anyone help me ?

Is there any solution available for multitouch issue..

Downloaded so many fps but unable to play properly..
[Sony Xperia L] azntitanik:
I rooted today. installed CMW recovery. still haven't unlock bootloader yet. (I don't know what is the benefit of it so I didn't do it. also the root process and recovery install didn't ask for it either) . My only purpose to root is to find a way to move apps to SD card. I really need more room to install apps and the phone keep saying my internal is too small. Anyone have a link to install Link2sd or some swap tutorial for noobs?

U wanna move your apps to sd card or external sd card???
[Sony Xperia L] azntitanik:
sorry I thought they are the same thing? In that case it's sd card then

XPERIA L (Error! Camera Not Available)

Guys help me .... i partially rooted my Xperia L then a firmware update appeared and i downloaded that worst update . After which my stock camera app started showing error ! camera not available and my battery backup is like only for 2 hours when fully used (100% - 5%). Then I unrooted it using Sony PC companion repair , but the problem persists . Can you tell me that if I install CM11 in my phone , will it help me in battery and camera ?
[Sony Xperia L] Lazynestor:
Reflash your firmware using flashtool
[Sony Xperia L] leothenado:

Sorry but how to reflash firmware ?
[Sony Xperia L] azntitanik:
I really was confused by your question then today I open the setting and understand what you mean.

In my phone, it appear to be : Device memory - Internal - External

in this case, I want to transfer my apps to External. Device memory is about 1.5Gb mainly for main apps and running apps, Internal has 4GB which almost full. I have my External sd card about 16GB and I would want to know how to move apps there.

thank you. sorry for confusing answer. I don't know much about phone
[Sony Xperia L] Lazynestor:
Its ok bud_ but sorry there no option for xperia L to move apps to External sd card!

But there's a way to increase your internal space by using link2sd card.......

Please do hit the 10xxx button!!!
[Sony Xperia L] azntitanik:
does it mean it will allow me to use more apps without having lags because I install 'too many' apps in my phone?

can you link me to that tutorial ? please
[Sony Xperia L] Lazynestor:

Hi everyone! :laugh:

I'm new, and I need some help for my Xperia L with stock rom.

I've two big problem with the phone

1) The SD card "crash" every 2 days, and I need to format it. It's a lexar 32GB class 10 buyed for the phone, so it's new.

I've serched on internet and I've found a lot of people asking for the same problem, there is any solution, trick or something I can do to fix the problem?

2) The Internal storage memory it's full, and I can't update some of my apps...tips and trick? It's possibile to increase the internal storage with costum roms or something...? I don't need the 4 GB of the internal memory used for photos and files, I want to use the SD for this.

Thank you! ;)
[Sony Xperia L] Lazynestor:
U can use ur sd card space as internal storage!!!!!! For apps or etc

then go ahead and flash Firmware of your Choice/Country...

Sorry for ot but still can't belive that this device won't be officially updated at least to 4.3 JB. If not kitkat.. Sony is a sh#t company..if moto g 2013 can handle it why not XL just for example..but no..they launch E1 orM2.. Not to mention. The Xperia M wich Sony treated better..

AOSPA FTW

Yes, Sony will not update this Phone to anything new. Just minor bugs updates I guess. Use our beloved XDA forums here and update it by your self with the AOSPA (or anything else project you want). I recently updated to AOSPA(KitKat 4.4.4.) and it really works very well.

I have installed a carbon ROM on my xperia l but the camera isn't working. any fix? or any custom ROM which works perfect?
[Sony Xperia L] NikTh:
Works perfect ? WoW big words my friend. Even the stock ROM has bugs.

The camera button does not work here either (it vibrates but is not opening the camera software), but the camera (as a software) it works very well.
[Sony Xperia L] voxrazr:
of course nothing is perfect at the very least no ROM is :D but in my ROM camera app isnt working I don't care about the camera button cause it wasn't working well even in stock rom. If you are satisfied with your rom I mean if its good for daily needs please provide me the link :)
[Sony Xperia L] NikTh:
Yes, I'm satisfied with "my" ROM. It works really well (as per my opinion) without critical problems. I have provided a link already 3-4 posts above ,but here it is again. AOSPA 4.41 Final (KitKat 4.4.4)

Hi,

In order to flash custom kernel, unlocked bootloader is necessary.

I used this guide to root my phone :http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/development/root-xperia-l-root-t2302700

Unlock the BL and flash custom kernel. :)

EDIT: For first time if you don't have recovery, flash custom kernel which have recovery via fastboot.

I think you should Google it to find a solution for your problem. Or you could try some random Rom

Which suite best for you.

(Caution) because the last time I flashed my phone over and over again the Wi-Fi was stopped working for ever

Even in the stock ROM. Then I had to buy another Xperia L

What ever Rom you use try to keep it minimal for best performance

Its all about your personal preference when it comes to screen. I owned S2 and was tired of burn-ins, yellow/greenish tints. The super saturated colors didn't look good to my eyes, LCDs have more natural colors. XL's screen is brighter and more uniform than S2's.

Got my cellphone it's amazing :)

Suggest me some apps please :) This is my first Android PHONE
[Sony Xperia L] miinoo:
Here is some compatibility information:

(I used Xperia Neo previously and I tried the accessories what I bought for that phone.)

The Sony Ericsson MBS-100 bluetooth speaker is working fine, although its name didn't come up at the bluetotth device searching screen, only its ID. The correct name shown up after pairing. This small speaker still sounds good :)

The Sony Ericsson MW600 headset is working great, and now there are music information on the screen. Basically it has working fine since I bought it and it's still great with the Xperia L.

Unfortunately the Sony Ericsson LiveDock not working at all with the Xperia L. It's not even charge the phone. It's really strage, Because one of three connect to the dock shows that the charge is working, but it isn't.The Xperia L not recognize the dock. It's strange, because it's working fine with the Neo, and the two phone have the exact same charger. I think at least the charging should work. I will ask about this incompatibility at Sony customer service, maybe they have some information about this flaw. The Xperia L is not listed in the perfect partners list of the LiveDock, but based on the compatibility requirements it would have work with the xperia L.

Please, someone create a rooting solution! :)
[Sony Xperia L] AayushDhuria:

Got mine last May 31.. I should say that the high benchmark it got was not a lie.. ^_^

Games (CCS, Subway Surfer, Minecraft) loading is fast, graphic quality is awesome.. 9/10

Videos of 720p plays amazing.. 9/10

Loud audio retaining the quality.. ^_^ 9/10

Touch screen is good..got to blame the screen protector since it is not dedicated to XL.. 8/10

Battery performance is actually great.. 8/10

Camera, good.. There are hang time, but I guess because of the soft touch on the screen button..it might be my fault..haha!! 8/10

Overall, great phone!

(have to put some numbers for others reference..)

If I root my XL successfully, I will probably recommend this phone and name it as the top on the middle class smart phone.. ^_^

There is a strange thing with my phone. During phone call my phone is too loud, it's almost hurt. But not every time. I turn the volume down as low as I can, but you can hear everything what the other pepople said even if the phone is at about 30 cm from my ear. Does anyone experienced similar problem?

Xperia L has had bootloader unlock since day one. Check http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

Oh ok...thanx... And hey tried anything else for rooting. I would be unlocking my XL in a day or two and then try pushing to /system. Even I am new to the Sony FW, been a LG user previously.
[Sony Xperia L] AayushDhuria:
I'd have unlocked today had it not needed me to download Android SDK. I'm stuck with stupid 2G, can't download 500MB big SDK. I posted in Xperia Z/ZL's bootloader unlocking thread asking DooMLoRD if I could use the necessary files from SDK that he posted for Xperia Z.
[Sony Xperia L] DeviousFusion:
Yes, I think you can use them easily. Those aren't device specific...

OR

Just get the SDK Tools...which is like some 90MB. Though even that should be a pain on 2G. :silly:

Here's the link though...

http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r22.0.1-windows.exe

After download, run the manager and install "Platform-tools" and "Build-tools" Should be enough.
[Sony Xperia L] AayushDhuria:

[Sony Xperia L] DeviousFusion:
Alright,in the mean time, I am setting up a .ftf for C2104, just in case things go wrong. After that I'll unlock too.

1. Yes..

2. No.

3. As of now, No.

4. Yes for some application and No for some.. Specifically for MXPlayer, Yes it hides..so you get the whole screen for watching video..

Are you aware of Stweaks and Siyah kernel? I'm not much into coding but I know its $hit hard to make something like that. But you could look into Gokhan's repos and see its working. I'm not asking anything, just suggesting.

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

I'll get my broadband back by 15th of this month, probably. But I think you should unlock boot loader as you're already planing to install custom ROMs. And one can achieve perfect root easily after unlocking the BL. Locked bootloader prevents writing in /system and thus reboots.

[Sony Xperia L] AayushDhuria:
I've owned S2, mate. It had one of the best development community of all time. And just look at what I'm saying. Stweaks app to control kernel values, that app basically writes app in a file in /data and kernel reads values from that.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Lol dude I know what it is. That app just controls the kernel interfaces. Why I need to use Stweaks when I can write my own app for my own kernel :silly:

Awesome! Apologies.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

I think Varun can solve this issue if it's because of messed up kernel, right? ;) Because the app "Illumination bar" on Play Store seems to be just one step away from solving this issue. I think its kernel limitation for us, we have RGB LEDs. Just have patience, guys.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Hope there comes enough activity and popularity for this device or we will have hard time getting a forum.
[Sony Xperia L] Dark Passenger:
I think that time is not far off but we do need some development activity...(crying out for cyanogenmod :p).

can someone tell me if once unlocked the bootloader even if locked will void the warranty.also if I flash a recovery zip from like koush or chainfire that are signed for stock recovery(after bootloader unlock) will i have achieved root or a custom kernel is required.

and what is an .ftf file ?

hey thanks man one(okay two) small thing.

so mx player can play 1080p videos in software decoding mode.

and

even mkv 720p videos work fine in stock.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Certainly.

I am eager to get my device ASAP only then I can kick start the development ;)

Can someone pull config.gz file from /proc using root explorer?

I doubt the kernel has /system write protection just as HTC Desire X and that's why phone reboots with a change to /system partition.

is this a question?haha! LoL

anyway, yes.. MX can play 1080p..

and i used to play 720 mkv files on stock..

and regarding your question about bootloader, it is unlocked from the very beginning..info got from AayushDhuria .. ^_^

:highfive:
[Sony Xperia L] DeviousFusion:
Here is the config.gz as requested...

http://db.tt/A6i3WDmB
[Sony Xperia L] Dark Passenger:
huh bootloader already unlocked:confused: seems unlikely.... will take that with a grain of salt.

also that was a legit question because a few devices that i know of (quad core ones) cant play 1080 in s/w mode even.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

I think its the locked bootloader else if the kernel was involved even root without an insecure kernel would be impossible.

but I may be wrong.

PS I know this is intrusive but when will you get your device(there was a price drop on flipkart;))
