[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDMpire:
Not sure if I could find this info anywhere but does this device support USB storage mode out of the box for the 3 OS'es i've mentioned?

If not is this something the devs can cook into their roms? Already being done?

thanks. This is a very important feature since the device has no removable storage.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Redaaku:
Im on rooted stock(ICS .54) ROM on Xperia SoIa and had made a CWM backup. The back-up process took around 10 minutes. The size of the back-up folder was approximately 1.5GB. Just wanted to verify if the restore option is working properly or not so did a restore. And I waited.

Waited for more than an hour. And it got restored successfully.

I've done CWM backups and restores before on my old android phone(videocon zeus) and it never took longer than 10 minutes.

So I got a little worried when it was taking longer than 10 minutes. Is this normal?

I searched the forums but could'nt find proper answers or explanation.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben Ling:
I use CWM v5.0.28?

forgot which version

and i backup took about 15 mins

and restore will be faster,about 10 mins
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Redaaku:
I am on locked bootloader, stock rooted ICS .54.

And using CWM Touch v5.5.0.4 for locked bootloader

I was wondering why it took so long.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DaRk-L0rD:
It's quite normal mate since you have almost 1.5 gb of stuff. Using 6.0.28 version of cwm will ask even more time with backup and restore.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Redaaku:
Okay! So it depends on how many apps are installed on the ROM mostly. So a factory reset and then backup of the stock ICS .54 ROM will be approximately what size any idea?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DaRk-L0rD:
If you do a factory reset mate you will not have any data to save.maybe I didn't understand the question
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Redaaku:
I recently rooted my Sola on stock ICS .54 version and I'm just clearing some doubts about it. And so I asked if I do a factory reset(which means only the factory apps and settings will be there as all or most downloaded apps will get deleted) what will be the size of the back up folder I make using CWM ?

Also this may sound silly but is there a chance to lose root if I factory reset(I remember I had this fear on my old phone also so I had nver done factory reset)? :silly:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DaRk-L0rD:
1) The size should be 300mb if I am not wrong mate. But I think it's useless making a cwm for stock Rom since you can flash it via flashtool. Just my opinion though.

2) Factory reset will make you loose apps and data you installed, don't think will affect root.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Redaaku:
Thank you for your answers!

For 1 ,My thoughts for doing that is that I should have a easy access back up of stock ICS on sd at all times. I don't mind if 300MB-400MB of my 8GB micro-sd card is used up by this back up. Because just in case something goes wrong while flashing something and if I am able to access CWM then I'll be able to easily solve my issues by restoring that ICS backup I had made. Is this right? I can do this right?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DaRk-L0rD:
Of course you can mate. You are right. Did you install any custom rom also or you are on the stock one with root and cmw?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Redaaku:
I am on stock ICS .54 with locked bootloader :)

I am trying different mods and ports these days.

I hope to flash some stable JB ROM eventually(since Sony is not going to make an official JB ROM for our phones).

Any suggestions if I should try out any ICS ROMs before unlocking bootloader for JB?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DaRk-L0rD:
I don't use sola mate, so i can't tell you.

In any case though, ics roms will never be as good as jb roms are.

On my xperia u i am on ics because i use front camera. Otherwise my device would be already upgraded :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XqepX:
Sure 1.5GB Is a big size but CWM 6.0.28 backups and restores much faster cause it has another technique to backup the files :) 5.x.xx backups the System and the data in one package ( a System package, a data package...) and CWM 6.x.xx backups in a lot of small files (round 2000 files if you have a complete System of round 1.5GB). Hope it's right what I say :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Chip_88:
Hi there!

I'm a little frustrated as well: Last night, I wanted to install a new ROM and the only thing I got, was a bootloop.

However, I didn't want the ROM anymore and I was so lucky I had made a BackUp via CWM.

So now it's already the fourth time, I'm restoring the files (I had to fight with mismatched md5 too!).

Actually, the restoring process worked fast. I made an advanced restore: First boot, then cache, then system and last data.

Every restore were completed withouth errors.

So I rebooted the phone (Arc S) and now I'm waiting already for about 25 minutes already. It says only "Android is actualizing... / Starting Apps".

I have about 480 MB to restore. Is it normal that it takes sooooooo much time already - and it's still not done...???

Thanks in advance for a timely response!

i9100 proximity sensor doesn't work

Hi to all! I have the issue with proximity sensor and didn't manage to find a solution in other similar threads!

The matter is that it is always stay as Released.

In the same time in test screen (*#0*#) there are changing reading for PROXIMITY parameter from 2 up to 240 with no ADC parameter at all. Please look for screenshots. PROXIMITY parameter changes its value when I move my finger in front of the sensor, but as I can understand Android doesn't recognize it because of ADC absence.

Moreover I tried to change proximity sensor for working one (from another phone), but it shows the same as mine (with no ADC readings).

After all I think it is software problem, but I don't know how to solve it. I flashed different firmwares (now it is XWMSE NeatROM v.6.4), but nothing helped.

Please assist! Thanks!

Hello guys,

Here I'm with another mod for Xperia Sola and its siblings :D

I was facing frequent Launcher redraws and much irritating killing of Keyboard with JB Roms

I have compiled services.jar for many many times and finally I'm able to lock the launcher and keyboard in RAM

For launcher and keyboard OOM values are set zero (foreground) by default and also process importance for these two has been set FOREGROUND so that android system do not change OOM values for these two (see screenshot) :D :cowboy:

FEEL FREE TO USE THIS MOD AND GIVE PROPER CREDITS IF YOU ARE USING IT IN YOUR ROM

this is working perfectly in my xSola, this may also work for Xperia P/U and GO also

Features:

Super User Mod enabled from here, Thanks to DavidMKD fro giving me tutorial on this ;)

Stock launcher and Stock keyboard locked in memory from here

OOM grouping redefined

because of redefined OOM grouping, third party launcher and Keyboards also working FOREGROUND, like swiftkey keyboard is working for me ;)

How to:

Download the attachment and just flash in recovery, wipe dalvik cache and reboot ;)

or

Extraxt the services.jar file from downloaded zip file and put into /system/framework and set -rw-r-r permissions

Download link on second post :good:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pukhrajsoni:
for this you need terminal emulator,

to check your current valves, type this in terminal

su

cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

this will give values in pages, 1 page = 4 kb i.e. 1024 pages = 4mb

now to set your own values, type this ( say, you want to set 2, 4, 8, 40, 70, 80 in mb's)

su

echo "512,1024,2048,10240,17920,20480" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

note: these are not permanent, you need to set this after every reboot

so easiest way to do this is to download some applications from google play which can set this on every reboot, for example Android tuner or Auto memory optimiser etc. ;)

So how is it that this is called "DieHard" services mod, with a modded services.jar with which my Ultimatic Patcher was used and yet there is no credit given to me?

BulletProof Launcher along with the Maximum Multitasking Mods were used.

How do I know?

First of all, I ran the services.jar through my ultimatic patcher and chose BP Launcher and multitasking mods enabled.

The before and after smali files were unchanged.

Second of all, Ultimatic adds a certain entry to one of the smali files - which is in there.

All because the services.jar was already processed by MY patcher.

Hi

Started program - found SX56. Message "Upgrading - will take about 5 minutes"

on pda. Then it said that it had a problem with the USB or COM connection, and

to fix it in device manager. I opened Device Manager, and checked that all the

USB and COM ports were enabled, which they were.

By this time, the unlock software and ActiveSync had stopped running. The pda

was still stuck on the "Upgrading - will take about 5 minutes" screen. Since

the configuration has changed, ActiveSync will no longer recognize the device,

and will not sync with it. Your software will not connect until ActiveSync does.

All that comes up is the "Upgrading - will take about 5 minutes" screen. there

is no other functionality to the system.Hard or soft resets make no difference.

Active Sync doesn't work. The PDA has changed its configuration, so active

Sync doesn't recognize it. When I plug it in, Active Sync sees something, but

can't even tell that it is a pda, and I can't even set up a new connection with

it. let alone use the old connection.

Can anyone help? is there a way i can reinstall active sync or is there another way to fix it? please help
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
You will need xdatools, sd card, card reader/writer and rom file from kitchen for sd card flashing. Unzip the rom after download, start xdatools on your pc, choose the unzipped rom file as source and the drive letter for your sd card as destination from drop down menu, once the card is programmed insert sd card to phone, push reset while holding power, when prompted you then push the action key which is centre of 4 way rocker buttons. Once flashed push the unscrewed stylus into hole next to headphone socket, push once only, wait one minute push once more, this will work as long as you dont have a problematic version of bootloader on your phone. Good luck.

HELP PLEASE
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
I think you misunderstood, a normal backup is no good, you need to program an sd card with a new rom, when this is placed in your xda and soft reset it should reprogram your phone with a new rom. You are correct when you say it has no rom, the method I described should restore your phone to a working machine. You do not need a rom to reprogram using bootloader/sd card method, try it and see.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Jiggawhat:
Okay, so can I basically use the newest ROM which also unlock the device too?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
You will need to use either xda developers special edition rom to unlock or include the unlock program from the kitchen in a 2002 rom, you can then upgrade to wm2003 if you wish, you cannot unlock under wm2003 so you must use special edition or kitchen rom based on 2002 first.

I do have the xda special rom, ive tryed using it but it caused the problem i do have right now.

Could you describe step by stef of what i need to do.

i.e. do i need a complete NEW ROM, or can i just transfer the xda special rom to my SD card and then run it to restore my device?

But i guess not, else you wouldnt have explained what i need to do.

Thats the error i get when i try to run xdatools. (I dont understand the install note)

. I was able to locate the NK.nbf file. I ran the XDA OS image tool, to put the OS on the sd card, from the NK file. That apparently succeeded, but it is hard to tell. After loading the OS, when I take out the sd card, then put the sd card back into the sd card reader, it can no longer read the sd card. I can format the sd card again, using my camera, so the sd card is not destroyed.

Wher I put the sd card in the SX56, there is no problem, but there is no success.

Pushing soft reset alone does nothing. Pushing the power button alone does not turn the machine on or off, and does nothing.

Pushing power and soft reset at the same time, gets me the “Wallaby Bootloader V5.15” screen. It first says “wait”, and then says “GSM OK”. It then does nothing else, and doesn’t prompt me to do anything else. If I push the action button, I get “DIAGNOSTICS GPRSA 20324e4”. From there, I can scroll up and down, and test the RAM, Display, battery, USB, etc – all items tested seem OK. There is nowhere to go from here – all it does is test the pieces.

After that, if I push the hard reset (the one that disconnects the battery), the power goes off, and the screen is dark. This is the only way to turn the machine off at the moment. If I push hard reset again, it comes up with a screen full of lines, with two blank holes in it (see attached file). From there, none of the buttons do anything, except hard reset (which turns the machine off again), or soft reset + power, which brings up the bootloader screen again.

have the siemens ROM. It will not work with the cradle, because it cannot find the pda if Activesync can’t make a connection, and loading it onto the SD card does nothing new – both results are exactly the same as with what described above.

any suggestions?
