[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hebbe:
Hi!

this is my first sony mobile phone, i'm comming from an hd2.

hd2: flashing was easy: copied a rom (.zip) to the sdcard, and then flashing it via cwm. you're done.

xZ: in the title of the rom-threads there's always something like [253] or [307], and i think "ok, it's a rom with a firmware version .253 or .307". but reading the threads i'll notice that once you flashed the rom, you also have to flash a firmware or a kernel afterwards.

so aren't the roms for the xperia z complete roms? why do you have to flash a firmware afterwards? i'm really confused...can someone please explain?

thanks & have a nice day :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
See the stickys, ROMs and firmware is the same thing.

From me to you.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hebbe:
thanks for your reply.

i've read the stickies.

but i'm still confused. thread title says "[bla][UB][253][bla] Best ROM in the World!!!!", and then inside the thread it says something like "when coming from a stock .434 rom, flash the 'best_rom_253.zip' via recovery, and then flash a new 253 firmware and a kernel of your choice to get the benefits from the 253 version."

that's confusing me. if firmware and rom means the same, why is there still a need to flash a firmware and/or kernel after flashing the rom? :confused:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
You're not reading properly, you may need to be using a specific ROM in the first place to use a mod or ROM. Users generally confuse themselves.

From me to you.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hebbe:
i know that sometimes in order to flash a .253 you have to flash a stock .434 right before (and maybe root), but that has nothing to do with my question.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Only if you have a locked bootloader and want to keep root would you do that.

From me to you.

I got an error on my wifi hotspot.

Any advice

Im in bobcats custom rom v2. Noone on there seems to have the same problem so any advice would be grand
[HTC Sensation] ToffieBoi:
I know it is possible from Venom rom. But that rom is not stable enough for me to use.

I am using Inspiration Rom right now, and all I miss is Sense 4.5 keyboard. Since Venom did it, is it possible to install it to that rom.

Since I have no idea about software development, if someone can help me in that I will be happy. Maybe we can take the keyboard file or something from Venom rom as zip and flash it in our device?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
You can't take anything from venom ROM in anything other than for personal use only due to their sharing policy
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
There's plenty of Sense 4.5 roms around, why go straight for Venom ? lol

I'm sure you'll find the apk somewhere besides inside their roms :) Also, since it's not just a matter of pushing the apk into system/app, what you need to know is whatelse do you have to do besides pushing HTC_IME.apk. Any libs? Any other file ? Any changes that need to be made?
[HTC Sensation] mama_mia:
Honestly, I don't get that sharing policy...

Isn't this an Open Source community?? On an Open Source community everything should be for everyone, and all the sources should be open and public..

People shouldn't be using sources from others, like "Google", "HTC", and so on...and then tell others that don't share theirs, and then again, ask people donations.

That's wrong guys!!!
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Open source policy applies to android os itself. HTC sense, that wonderful layer on top of android doesn't quite have the same policy if any. The same applies to fixes, libs and whatever is done on top of it.

As much I would like to agree with you, they have the right to reserve those things.
[HTC Sensation] topjohnwu:
Is it possible for us to know which appropriate files should we replace with the ViperS to have the sense 4+ keyboard?? Or is it still against their sharing policy??
[HTC Sensation] mama_mia:
I'm not saying they don't have the right to do it.

But we are in an open source community, and we all should have a open source mind...
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Well, maybe something happened and they didn't like it, I don't know so I won't comment.
[HTC Sensation] ToffieBoi:
Thats what I tried to do with my limited knowledge. I did some google search and tried to find the files for the keyboard.

Finally, after I put the apk and changed the files, just keys were working. Long press or numpad was not. I tried to change a few more files but it started to just crash.

So I turned back to normal.
[HTC Sensation] lepszy:
Yeah, times when this site was all about sharing are long gone. It's all about donations now unfortunately.
[HTC Sensation] mama_mia:
Even that... It's the second or third time that a dev asks donations to buy a new phone, people donate, and then he stop developing for the old phone. How grateful he is?!?
[HTC Sensation] ToffieBoi:
Any news, ideas, solutions?

I installed viper rom again for the keyboard, but this rom is not usable at all.

I will go back to inspiration but all I miss is that keyboard.
[HTC Sensation] ahsan64:
You can use viperS keyboard.apk but its forced in landscape mode....

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ikosanovic:
Hello to everyone,

I have just bought this phone and so far I am very satisfied except one BIG thing,

I have a lot problems with mobile data.Practically I cannot use phone to surf the internet, read newspapers and other staff.

When I switch to WI-FI everything work perfect.

Also when I test data connection via "speed test" I get very good results.In average is 10 Mbit in download an 1.5 Mbit in upload.So there should not be any problems.Also sometimes apps like "google play" or similar are telling me to check my internet connection.

For testing purposes I have disabled all option that can "slow" mobile data. Settings ---> sim card manager ---> I have disabled "receive incoming calls" and "dual sim always on" .

After all that I just cannot surf the internet normal!

Anyone have that kind off issue?

Please help!
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] drshreenivaas:
I also face the same issue. I am using stock rom with BSNL postpaid.

When I use samsung galaxy s plus, 3G data works fine. But in grand duos with same sim & at same location, 3G is sluggish & frequently disconnects.

sometimes when the screen is off

a sms or a ring came from nowhere

it just ring for a very short time

like its last word

then it keep silent

then it self reboot again

why the sh*t always happen to me?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bioan:
Update to latest firmware.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ebi4321:
as our friend said, just update to latest firmware, all issues are fixed there :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] HelixDNA:
do you think firmware build number = 9.1.A.1.140 is not the lastest ?

this sh*t is driving me crazy
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
No its not the latest.

.141 has been released. Look in the general section for a FTF and a .zip for it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ebi4321:
yes, the latest one is .141, and it IS available here to download, it's a big improvement :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] HelixDNA:
still self reboot when screen off +music

i guess maybe theres something wrong with the hardware

Same prob here it started when I updated to .140 a month ago. It restarts also while locked screen or using normal apps. Try the new update to .141 guess it should fix it.

Maybe contact Sony at Dev world,maybe they can help you out.

Nope it doesn't. You saying the initial JB doesn't have this issue? Interesting... :D

Think I found the culprit. Anyone with this issue try changing /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_oops to 0

Dunno what's causing the panic though, so we still may have problems, I'm gonna see if the problem persists ;) BTW this must be done at each boot

EDIT: Still reboots :(

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Is this just happening on stock roms? Please try a stock based custom rom and see if that helps
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
It happens on the deodexed .141 too. Gonna flash ICS and if it still happens I think I have a GPU fault, it only happens to me on certain games most of the time

EDIT: I'll try Xperiment first because I don't remember ever having the issue there

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

That actually seems to have done the trick, what made you think it would work?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Just trying different things.

Glad it worked for you (But a bit upset you didn't try my ROM :crying: )
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] @non4:
I think I know what it might be, does deleting the overheat control apk by any chance cause issues? I just went to this ROM because I knew I didn't have any reboots, if I find the root cause I'll try yours too! ;)

Annoyingly in both OS versions i'm not able to switch FM stations using headset button. guess its a bug !

What would be a wise choice? Does anybody have experience with one of these tablets?
