[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dark2star:
Hi everybody,

during some three months I've encountered several minor problems / bugs. They don't keep me from using my XDA2 but they are annoying... And I am sure many other people encounter the same problems. Perhaps we can collect these bugs and send them to O2 / MS so they can fix it?

OK, here's my list:

- very often the XDA2 takes several seconds to respond (for example when pressing the "off" button),

- if I want to access the bluetooth screen (bluetooth on/off) very often the XDA2 displays "settings" in the titlebar, but the dialogue doesn't come up. Killing all running applications from the "running programs" screen sometimes helps.

- SMS get lost after being sent.

- ActiveSync doesn't sync my SMS's.

- when I have a "screen lock" set (enter code after some minutes inactivity) and receive an SMS the XDA2 chrashes and needs two (2!) soft resets to come up again fully.

- The today screen doesn't respond to changes in the calendar (new appointments) for several minutes.

- After an alarm (appointment) has been closed, the red light keeps on blinking for several hours.

- when connecting a wired headset the connection (even rings) get lost!!!

- When trying to connect an other device via infrared and using the "modem" functionality, a few bytes of data get transfered, but then the connection is lost.

- The battery status display when clicking on the time field in the titlebar is not very useful (full / almost empty) - a little more information (five to ten bars) would be great.

- Once I lost audio for telephone (speaker was silent / mic also). I had to reset my XDA2 - what use is a phone without audio?

- When clicking the antenna icon (to connect to GPRS) there is no response rather often and I have to do a soft reset to be able to connect.

- using the notes application (Pocket Word also) sometimes the font changes (gets smaller) without any apparent reason.

- the camera is not usable with dim light.

- by default all data is kept in RAM - and lost easily. Important data like address book, calendar, settings etc. should be kept in ROM by default.

- using Pocket Word is rather difficult - I would rather have some paragraph styles like "heading", "text", "quote" and so on instead of being able to change fonts

- the file format for the notes as well as Pocket Word is very strange (I didn't look at Pocket Excel). A pure text format with embedded objects (graphics, formatting) in XML or whatever style would be good (or an open documentation of that file format).

- The xda should be able to produce a composite video format on one of the pins in the connector when required (presentations).

- sometimes ActiveSync becomes crazy and pops up every few minutes saying it can't sync. Only a reset can cure this behaviour.

While some of the points mentioned require a change in the hardware, I'd think most of these points are software faults. If you know a remedy please tell me.

Ciao,

Berny

[HTC One SV] SnakeFist2005:
Here is a Droid Boot Animation for the HTC One SV. I think this was a stock boot animation i found a few years ago for my old phone. I forget where i got it at but all images are made by who ever made this and thanks go to them.

What i did was converted it to make the images work on the HTC One SV and made a sound to go with it. It took awhile to get the sound to sync up with the animation but i got it working on my phone so hopefully its synced on others as well.

To Install (Sorry no flashing)

1 Your phone has to be Rooted, S-Off, Unlocked Bootloader and SuperCID

2 Use your favorite file explorer that gives you Superuser rights.

3 Browse to /system/customize/resource Make a backup of these 2 files CKT_bootup_one.zip and pUp_H3000C.wav

4 Unzip the file below and copy over the zip file and wav file to /system/customize/resource overwriting the ones in there

5 Reboot to see your new animation with sound.

WARNING!!!!

As with any modifying of system files anything can go wrong!!! Make a FULL BACKUP before using this. It does work for me and have been using it for a few days with no problems. But i hold no responsibility if your phone bricks from this, your doing it at your own risk. So please know what you are doing and if you need help ask before not after you bricked your phone.

Issues:

This as far as i know, only works on the cricket version as it was only tested on that version. I'm sure with the rename of the zip file and sound file to the proper names for other versions that this will work also for them versions. Please test it and let others know.

The sound file is synced on my phone so it should be synced on all phones but due to different roms and how there set up the sound could be off if it is i am sorry bout that and there's nothing i can really do about it that i am aware of. If i am wrong let me know.

I hope you all enjoy it and thanks to old.splatterhand for helping me with the zip problem.

For the Cricket LTE 4G (may work for other versions)

Test it out and let me know what you all think. I hope you all enjoy it as i had making it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronlam:
Hi... anyone running one of the variants of the Google Edition can help me with my lockscreen wallpaper... I can only change my lockscreen and regular wallpaper together... meaning I can't have two different images. I tried both stock launcher and Nova launcher but still nothing. Every combination... still when I change one, the other changes.

Maybe there is no way to do it.

Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfismdna:
There's no way to do this in stock Android. However, you can get a lock screen replacement app that lets you change the lock screen wallpaper.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronlam:
Kinda of a workaround... using Multi Wallpaper Live app. Let's use set a different wallpaper on the lockscreen vs home. Just can't use live wallpapers.

Hello fellow XDA-forumers,

http://techlivewire.com/2013/07/04/excite-your-android-with-pitch-black-theme/

I'd like to share the pitch black theme with you all, it is elegant and gives your boring AOSP look a whole new life.

I have it on my Galaxy S4 running slim bean rom. So far slim bean is the only Rom I like on the XDA forums. I hope they make more custom roms. Thanks to the wonderful Devs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] quickquest88:
I installed this, and it looks great.

One minor problem I'm having. My email app text is all in black, as is the background. So i can't see what I'm typing.

Gs4 with slim bean ROM.

Edit: it only does it when the "real dark slim" option is turned on. It makes both background and text black.
[Microsoft Surface] Camazza:
Hello guys, I've just bought a shiny new Surface RT and I have a couple of questions to ask you:

- Is there any way of finding out when the tablet was built? On the sticker it says LOT NO 0513, I really don't want it to be one of the first ones to be built, and I'm not sure whether 0513 is 05/13/2013 or 2012

- Is the very very mild screen flicker a common thing? I read around a bit and it seems everyone has this "problem" (it goes away at full brightness though)

- The speakers are decent, but they sound "muffled", kind of semi-distorted. They are not as crisp as I thought. Again, is this a common thing? Are the speakers just that way?

Thank you very much in advance.

BTW, I may sound all OCD, but those "problems" don't really bother me, as long as it's a common thing. I just want to exchange within 8 days so I get another one immediately if I find out one of these problems is an actual defect.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
The serial numbers are presumably "serial" but I don't know how to map them to dates. Your 0513 is more likely to be this year than last year, since I'm not even sure if they were in production yet at that time last year and the first runs should already have been purchased long ago. It could also just be the 513th production lot, though.

I haven't noticed screen flicker on mine, but I haven't looked for it. It's set on automatic brightness and I don't generally have any problem with it.

The speakers used to produce very nice, but very soft, sound. Microsoft has been tweaking their behavior with firmware updates. They're a lot louder than they used to be, but it's true that the sound quality has suffered somewhat. Is it still a problem if you turn the volume down? Also bear in mind that the speakers point slightly backward; if using the tablet with a wall behind it, or listening from behind, the sound might get clearer.
[Microsoft Surface] Dane Reynolds:
I've noticed a brightness issue, even when the automatic brightness is off. If I turn the brightness all the way down I can see it.
[Microsoft Surface] C-Lang:
Congrats! Have fun with it (though I might have said to wait for the new one). The first thing I would recommend to any new owner is disabling Windows Defender, it helps the performance along big-time. Also, the new 8.1 update will make things way smoother, so if you get a little frustrated, just wait for a little (or go for the Beta, which is admittedly a little glitchy :p) But yeah, no flicker here, could just be a problem that needs a replacement unfortunately. Oh, and to make everything work better, make sure you have the SkyDrive app on your phone, and SkyDrive on your other computers. I recommend buying a 32 GB SD card (unless you use a ton of memory, then Yu probably know what you want) and using it for all of your libraries, as your internal will fill up pretty fast. Good luck! :good:

Honestly, not 100% about debugging. It was turned on at the start of all this mess but so much crap has been going on, not sure if still enabled. New ROM, unfamiliar icons so I can't tell by just looking at the status bar. Running Avatar 3.0 right now and with the past 6 ROMs that have been installed, no touch. Have not yet tried to install a sense-based ROM only because I'm tired of the same old shi ity sense. I suppose it would be wise to test it out
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
its just easier to s-off with sense because with aosp you need to enable usb debugging AND give adb root access in dev options.

usb debugging is in dev options regardless of what rom youre on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If I remember correctly, some Sense ROMs I've encountered didn't have adb enabled as default (developer options had to be turned on). OP should at least have touch control on Sense, so turning it on is at least possible with Sense.

I have been having major issues lately, and decided to Odin back to stock. It appears that no matter what image I use it wont let me take any ots's up to the current mf1.

its late and I really need sleep and a quick fix or a odin image for mf1 would really be helpful.
[Sony Xperia ZL] A320232:
I request users to please check the screens closely of their Xperia ZL. Disable the "auto-brightness", keep the brightness to maximum and set the screen time out a little higher say 5 minutes. My Software version is 4.2.2. The screen FLICKERS. I had my previous Xperia ZL exchanged because of this problem and the "new" phone has the same issue. I am currently having a miserable experience with Sony and their service centers here in India. My previous ZL had a motherboard problem and I am not totally sure if the "new" one is really new or the old wine in a new bottle. If things persist like this I'll probably head to the consumer court.

Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

No problem on mine either. Please do note that there have been some reports from Z/ZL users having screen flickering experience after upgrading to 4.2.2.
[Sony Xperia ZL] A320232:
Hmmm the problem seems to come and go. But my previous ZL had a motherboard issue as confirmed by SONY. As I'm typing this message, there's no flickering at all. I am confused. I want to get things right within the warranty period.
[Sony Xperia ZL] obborr:
Yes, it is very frustrating. Some just restart their phone and the problem is just gone. Some experience the problem again after a few days. And not many people have this problem. So, we can't tell right now if the problem comes from the new firmware or from the hardware itself.

When I keep brightness full n that brightness slider is on screen it flickers once while rotating the screen.. When I remove that brightness slider n go to main settings menu no flickering occurs also when auto rotate off no flicker...i thing but I never use full brightness n moreover it flickers just once before rotating so I guess nothing much to worry.

Hmm btw another question, the replacement unit I got comes loaded with those wallpapers one usually sees in demo units. Here, the ones in the last few rows. Please check this link :

And is it true that it's not possible to get a SIM running in demo units? I am able to make and receive calls but, for some reason I'm getting a feeling that the replacement I got is a demo unit. The IMEI number on the box and that of the phone are the same but the box does not contain the charger, earphones and the USB cable.
[Sony Xperia ZL] A320232:
BTW, what I mean by flickering is CONTINUOUS faint flickering of the screen. On the entire screen. The screen shivers!

charger battery earphones have separate warranty (6 months) so probably thats y not included .. besides u only exchanged the phone and not everything right

Yes only the phone was replaced by them. But, the flickering comes and goes. I am having a horrible time here. Is there any chance of a refund? Worst case, I will ask them to give me an XZ as I have lost all faith in ZL anymore.
[Sony Xperia ZL] unmaskedfalesh:
Every xperia has a demo installed in the phone..it has a demo folder somewhere inside the internal memory which contains the video demo file I foud out when I was exploring the internal memory n there is some code to activate demo on the phone all phones so no need to worry abt that n regarding only getting phone...its policy that company will exchabge obly things that u have problems with...since you had problem in phone and not in accessories so they sent you only phone nothing much I myself got replacement for faulty led indicator n they replaced only phone...

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

I tried again but it doesnot flicker at all...and do u keep brightness full all the tym...bcz its so bright even at 50% . I keep mine at 17% with auto brightness on..moreover if its bothering you y dont u demand to talk to one of the company executive n tell them issue they might offer you another device n this time after checking every thing accept the device n about Z Its kinda waste to get that cause it has much more problems n bugs than zl...search the forum u will find a plenty n I dont think you will want more problems
[Sony Xperia ZL] A320232:
I have done all possible things from my end. My first ZL had a motherboard problem and after much argument, I got the replacement which isn't any better. They initially wanted to replace the motherboard only but I rejected it. I had asked for a completely new phone.

I usually keep the display at "auto". But now, I have kept it at "max" to check if the flickering occurs. It comes and goes. I last saw the flickering today morning. I will ask for a refund since I cannot keep a faulty product. And, I agree with you about ZL>Z in many aspects. This phone fits my requirements perfectly but what I have been going through over the past few days...a real nightmare.
