[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
So I just woke up and checked my email on my laptop and I got a spam from myself, same email addy, that was sent from my phone. I can tell it was sent from the phone because of the sig line.

Never had this happen before and the new thing on my phone is IM+ which I installed last night around 11pm and was using with my friend.

It just happened 20 minutes ago, so it was after I had woken up and checked what time it was on the phone. Didn't do anything else, not even unlock screen, just turned screen on, checked time, turned screen off and put the phone down.

Should I be worried???

I'm actually behind on flashing a new version of my ROM - there's probably a newer version by now - so I guess I'll just wipe and flash. But I usually make a nandroid before flashing a ROM and don't want to nand some malware into it just in case I need it.

I'll install avast! and run it but has this ever happened to anyone before? Could it have come from IM+?

The subject on the email is BaBaxx.

EDIT: The email is a yahoo web based email if that makes any difference, but since it sent from my phone with the phone sig I'm concerned.

avast scan came up clean.

Check the permissions of the app and see if it has access to your email

Just change the password and it will be done
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sa.guly10:
The touch of HTC One is so wrongly caliberated that touching anywhere on the screen answers the call (results in unwilling answer of calls when taking the phone out of pocket) or the emergency number 911 gets dialled from lock screen when the phone is in pocket...

Just now I got a call from the Sheriff's department about a 911 call made from my phone :eek:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CraigP17:
Been using since it came out and has never happened to me. I'm going with user error on this one.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cdordon:
This. I even have home to wake enabled and it's never done this.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] The Project:
Never has happened to me. This is obviously user error. What a waste of a thread.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] NayLoMo6C:
i can actually attest that this can happen cause it happened to me as well with my HTC One. I got a random call from the police department that my phone dialed the emergency number, all while my phone was in my back pants pocket
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] NPuter:
Definitely not a stupid thread. My friend has had a one for a few weeks now, and he keeps on complaining about how often he calls 911 from his pocket...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SKyRocKeting727:
Maybe try disabling apps that causes the screen to turn on like some notifications. If it still occurs, try showing it to an AT&T rep. They should replace it.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] 2rz_taco_sr5:
I did it 5 times in one day. I used to have no lock screen with just a password but now I have both and almost all notifications that turn the screen on are disabled. So far so good.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
Even if that was actually a personal attack that doesn't make it okay for you to do it
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] blackplague1347:
I feel your pain, OP. Although I haven't had this issue with my One yet, I've dialed 911 from my pocket twice so far with my Galaxy S4. I turned off the "increase screen sensitivity" option, so hopefully it doesn't happen again. Either way, I think I'm just somehow bumping the "emergency dialer" thing from inside my pocket with the pattern lock set-up. Maybe you're inadvertently doing the same.

Ironically enough, a few minutes after being reprimanded by them for my latest 911 pocket call, 911 accidentally returned the favor and dialed my number by mistake :p
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] danpdroid:
Yes this happened a few times to me using the stock ROM 4.1, however this issue can be resolved several ways (this list is NOT all inclusive):

tbalden's kernal has the following:

Pocket Wake Protection (prevents phone from waking accidentally in your pocket, when it contacts skin through textile)

A new lock screen (Halo Locker, Holo Locker)

A new ROM, Google edition is harder to get to actually dialing 911.

Also noticed on the stock kernal and ROM the hotter the phone got in my pocket the easier it was to dial 911.....and this article was pretty funny.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] The Project:
This isn't a support group, making a thread like this won't solve anything for you chief
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sa.guly10:
Solved by doing the following :

Disable screen lock by selecting none from settings > security > screen lock

Select no lock screen from settings > personalize > lock screen style

Install Magiclocker main from app store abd enable pattern or pin in it for security lock screen
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Newcron:
I don't even know how to call 911 from the lock screen without unlocking, so I doubt my pocket knows (unless it's smarter than me o.O). Can someone tell me how?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SKyRocKeting727:
3rd party lock screen apps tend to drain a lot battery.

Sent from the "ONE" phone for me
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sg2189:
I use WidgetLocker so I haven't had a problem with accidentally calling 911. I do hate the incoming call screens, though, and have accidentally answered more than a few calls I did not want to take. The screen with the regular buttons on the bottom is fine but the one with the sliders is horrible. I can hit decline and it'll still answer. :-\ also, like you said, just taking it out of my pocket will answer the call. I tried ultimate call screen but it didn't always work well for me.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nanabit.callconfirm&hl=en - This will help with outgoing calls.

As for incoming calls, I also use Widgetlocker and it can display when a call comes in (you have to unlock to answer).
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lordofthering:
It happened to me...and Police Dept. called me...This is definitely not a good thing...How can we avoid ?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sg2189:
I didn't even notice that you could do that with widgetlocker, thanks for the info!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
Yep. It's in the settings.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] MewRai95:
This actually happened to me today, but it wasn't from the lock screen, it was random while scrolling through my app drawer.. its so weird :/
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ahm12:

Sorry

Hate to res a dead thread, but I have discovered that the volume keys can be mashed and or held from the lockscreen or from sleep and call emergency services.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
Are you using a card reader writer or using activesync direct to your phone?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] johndope:
now activesync but i tried a 1.1 usb card reader writer and it was still crap!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
well if it's also slow with a sd card reader then it's not really sd related and the only thing people can say to you is

1 try an usb2 reader

2 get a faster sd card
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohnim:
I made a backup today of my stock ROM...but its over 3GB....anyway to shrink the size
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
What sort of backup? Nandroid?

They're the size of your setup. You can uninstall some apps and the backup would be smaller .

Get an external sdcard if you're worried about space.

Philz recovery has some compression options I believe but don't expect miracles
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ads2996:
The new CWM 6 has a new backup that is smaller I am not sure how it works but that should do the trick. You need version 6 or above

Relocking Bootloader

With the latest release of Flashtool it is now possible to relock bootloader.

Download the latest flashtool from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2162907

Important

DO NOT USE ANY FTF TO RELOCK BOOTLOADER! THOSE OLD FTFs DO NOT WORK FOR THE 2013 DEVICES!!!

before u relock bootloader u have to be on pure stock kernel (flash only the kernel.sin using flashtool), else the device WILL NOT BOOT after relock

Steps:

now start Flashtool and click on BLU button

u will be asked to connect device in flashmode

once u connect the device u will get a prompt to "Relock"

click on it and when prompted disconnect the device
[Xperia SP General] SERGI.3210:
Mmm my device says that its not allowed for unlock (see the attachment) it means that i cant to unlock my bootloader for ever???theres not another method for to do it??????? :cry: what can be the reason for that its not allowed????? Sorry for my bad english and thanks
[Xperia SP General] mirhl:
[MENTION=3657212]SERGI.3210[/MENTION]

maybe your question could better fit Q&A section..

Anyway, try to unlock the bootloader despite the unlockinh allowed status

Sometimes you can unlock it even with "unlocking allowed:no"

(Btw if you care about the drm keys, make a backup of the TA partition before proceed)

[Xperia SP General] OsoAlgo:
Ok so I have a strange problem. I got my Xperia SP c5303 today and I'm using Windows 8 x64. I already managed to root the phone on the .257 firmware. When I try to connect the device in fastboot mode (holding volume + and plugging the usb cable to the computer), the LED turns blue and for a brief moment in device manager I can see that there is a device called Sony Fastboot Interface. The problem is, a little notification appears on my computer that the device wasn't recognized even though it appears to be installed correctly in device manager, and after about 5 seconds the phone automatically changes to charge mode.

I tried using Flashtool and when I plugged the phone in fastboot it did recognize it, but just for the 5 seconds that it stays that way. I already disabled driver signature enforcement and installed all Flashboot drivers but the phone just doesn't stay in fastboot mode.

BTW: Bootloader unlock allowed says yes

[Xperia SP General] OsoAlgo:
I searched online and seems that a lot of people were having this problem with the Xperia line. In most cases it says that it's because drivers are not installed, but I believe I already installed them correctly. Here is how the device appears on my computer but it still automatically changes to charging mode after a couple of seconds.

EDIT: Oh man, someone please erase my posts haha, I actually confused the USB 3.0 and 2.0 in my computer... I connected the phone to a USB 2.0 port and it was detected correctly, I was able to unlock the bootloader.

EDIT2: How do you check if the bootloader is actually unlocked? (Just to be sure)
[Xperia SP General] pakatsui:
Do I have to leave my SD inserted when I unlock the bootloader so I won't lose all my data?
[Xperia SP General] :
The external microSD card will not be deleted if you use Flashtool to unlock or relock the bootloader, only the first time you unlock it by the official Sony website. Even with that I think it doesn't wipe the external microSD
[Xperia SP General] pakatsui:
But is it safe to remove the external microSD before starting the unlocking process? I remember that I would get a bootloop on my old phone if I didn't have a microSD inserted while flashing stock rom.

I bought the sony product (sony xperia sp) first time... My question is why in this sony we need to do all these things like

bootloader unlock and even it dont have stock recovery mode... I had samsung s2 and galaxy grand i never need to go in these unlocking and relocking bootloader stuff to install custom roms like CM or MIUI.. I simply flashed it via recovery and done in samsungs... Plz clear.. And does htc and lg also has same unlocking bootloader and stuff??
[Xperia SP General] :
Yes, in HTC you need to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery to flash the SuperSU.zip...all of this just to root! Sony isn't that hard to mod, just read everything and be careful
[Xperia SP General] Androidkeeda:
What u r saying.... These all stuffs for just rooting??? Hush! Sony is good then... Hey brother if i lost my TA partition then i also lost my IMEI?? Or just bravia engine? Cz i dont see any difference in movie on mx player and default.. Bt yes in albums it has a difference...
[Xperia SP General] :
You just lose the DRM keys, which means BRAVIA will be lost and some GPS features like location sharing via MMS or the map on the car mode app
[Xperia SP General] Androidkeeda:
Ohhkkk...... Those were npt a big deal for me.. I never used car mode or gps features that much... Thnx buddy now i can go further.. One last question... I hv warranty till june..

Hi all,

I would like to hear some advice about relocking my Xperia SP, I wanted to test out leaked 4.3 so I:

Downgraded kernel

Installed SU

Backed up TA

Flashed kernel back

Flashed recovery

Flashed leaked 4.3

The ROM works fine, BUT screen mirroring with my Bravia 47W805 stopped working and phone is saying that my TV does not support HDCP and I found on xda that is is because missing DRM keys.

So can anyone tell me how to restore my phone to 4.1 without bricking?(to be able to recieve FOTA)

I would say:

Flash oficial 4.1 via recovery

Restore TA

But, I dont feel that it will do. Recovery is somehow in the kernel right? So I have to flash kernel first ? I have experiences mainly with HTC, so Sony devices are new for me. I will do the downgrade probably when sony releases 4.3 oficialy for my region, but still I would like to be prepared.

Thanks
[Xperia SP General] smogf:
You can flash 4.1 via Flashtool or PC Companion (Repairing system option) without recovery, then recover TA partition. Or. Just flash eXistenZ. Should all features work while its based on stock ROM.

[Xperia SP General] headbon3:
If you are hesitant, you could try downgrading to 4.1 and flash a rootable fw such as 1.257 to obtain root permission, you can backup your DRM keys then...or just wait for an official rooting method on the latest fw update:rolleyes:

oh, i have already backup of DRM keys from 4.1 (.254). Can i use this backup in 4.3 incase i want to relock?
[Xperia SP General] Steph310:
First backup TA!

Backup TA for Sony Xperia
[Xperia SP General] papawil01:
is this correct?

1. flash stock .254

2. root stock 254

3. backup TA

4. unlock bootloader (.254)

5. flash .266 (with unlocked bl)

6. root .266 (using doomlord's method)

7. restore drm keys from .254 (wc will also relock bl)

thanks. badly need root for .266 -_-
[Xperia SP General] headbon3:
Skip no.6 coz you have already unlocked your BL, you can just flash a custom kernel with CWM:D then flash superSU to gain root.

By then...you can flash whatever rom you want without the concern of root permission rights. I have not tried unlocking my BL though i have it backup already. Restoring your TA needs that your phone be on STOCK kernel...i think on the FW where you did the TA backup i guess. Hope someone could provide additional assistance on your query in no.7

Relock to get back warranty

I have taken the TA backup, unlocked the bootloader and flashed custom ROM.

If I would like to take the phone back to warranty, what should be the steps?

- Use Flashtool to flash back a stock FTF? Should I flash the full FTF or just the kernel?

- Restore the TA partition? Is it that when the TA partition is restored the phone will be relocked?

- After the phone is relocked and TA is restored, should I flash back a stock FTF to make everything stock like?
