Before u create a thread first u search.. coz i hav created a same thread few days back...

Hit "thanks" if i helped you..:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kushal_neov:
ugh its such a long process.....:crying:

anyway thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] manoj_nike15:
yaa.. coz even u should root n install cwm...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] karanrajkapur:
Your query has been solved already.

No need to root again. Since the boot loader is unlocked, you can flash any kernel straightaway. No need to do those steps again. Flash stock ftf... Let it settle and flash the associated kernel for your desired ROM.

Don't forget to hit thanks.

Battery Status Stuck Again

Guys it happened again...Battery status again stuck at 100% I already tried flashing stock rom, updated via pc companion but this time its not moving from the 100% mark:(

Someone please tell me a way to get it right without going to a sony store..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Try changing kernels.. Flash all of them available.. It should be fine.. Or else change Roms..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ktsnnet:
Wanna try? Use your smartphone until your battery empty, after that you can charge your phone just like usual. Maybe that will work, my friend got same problem a few days ago.Sorry for my bad english, and good luck :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kushal_neov:
That worked...I was earlier using moAOKP rom(4.1.2) Wiping all data and flashing stock rom didn't work...

What worked for me is..I flashed the moAOKP rom again (the battery status was fine again) I flashed a different kernel and wiped the battery stats still having moAOKP and then did a full wipe. Flashed the stock kernel and then the stock firmware and battery status was again working:)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveJustice:
Just thought I'd start this thread as I think the Xperia Z may be being discontinued, at least for the time being.

I bought a new Xperia Z handset in May. I made a clear choice between this and the Samsung S4, mainly for two reasons. The first being the overall design. It looks a much nicer/sexier phone. The second being the water resistance. I use the phone in the bath and I go fishing a lot. Seemed an obvious choice really.

When I first started using the phone, everything worked perfectly fine and I was very happy with my purchase. Except for one thing. I was experiencing the WiFi drop out problem. If I was in my living room (where my WiFi router is) it connected without issue. If I tried in other rooms, I would get a low connection and it would drop in and out. This bug has been well documented over several forums (without any response from Sony unsurprisingly), so I was a little reassured that it was not my phone specific issue, and a lot of people stating that it will likely be resolved with firmware updated. Two updates later and I was still having the issue.

I decided to take the phone back to Argos (where I purchased it) to see if I could get a replacement and hope that it would not have the issue. They were quite happy to replace it on the grounds that it is a faulty phone, however they didn't have any in at this particular store. The guy done a search and found one (and only one) in a store some 50 miles away. I asked if they could order one in for me, so he had a look and he said they can no longer get any. I thought this was very odd. A store chain the size of Argos and they can no longer get a top of the range phone only released 6 months or so ago? I asked if they knew a reason why, he said he didn't but if the error I'm experiencing is common and they have had a load returned then Argos may have chosen to no longer stock them.

This does not bode well for Sony at all. If Argos are taking this stance then I would not be surprised to see other outlets do the same.

I was left with a choice to either carry on with the phone and hope that at some point in the future the bug will be resolved, downgrade to another model, get my money back or pay the extra and get an S4. I decided to go with the S4, a decision I was not entirely happy with as, other than the WiFi bug, I was very happy with the Xperia Z, but I could not continue getting frustrated with the WiFi dropping out.

For those interested in the differences between the two phones, from an end users perspective and not a techno guru reviewer, there are a lot of similarities between the two. There are obviously pros and cons for each. The S4 is a lot lighter, and the external speaker is fantastic. It's design is a little uglier and the rear case is very slippery. The Xperia Z just looks nicer, looks less like a toy. They're just as responsive as each other, both take great photos/videos. The Xperia Z keyboard is much better than the S4, but that may be me needing to get used to it.

Given the choice, if the WiFi problem wasn't prevalent, I would definitely have the Xperia Z back. Hopefully Sony will pull there socks up.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gitaroo:
maybe the rumor about a refresh with S800 processor and triluminos screen is true then.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msc3169:
Congrats on your new S4...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticmetal:
xperia z is not discontinued (confirmed with sony executive), funny you judged that. though x-reality for mobile is coming for xperia z :)

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

i think this SteveJustice is probably a samsung bot desperately to attract sales as clearly sony is dominating and samsung s4 having a hard time getting sales now.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveJustice:
What? I gave pros and cons for both devices, and clearly stated that had I not had the problems with my Xperia Z then I would still have it. Not to mention I went to the store to get a replacement, not a different phone.

Even if the phone isn't being discontinued, it still begs the question as to why Argos are not getting any more in.

And where did you speak to this Sony executive by the way? Just happened to be passing in the street?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCJ89:
I have both the S4 and Xperia Z and your right they are very similar to each other and both have their pros and cons and let me just give a short of what I think are cons of the xperia Z compared to the S4 and funnily enough they are mostly to do with volume.

The Z speaker is lower in volume than s4, headphone volume is slightly lower and so is earpiece volume, S4 is a bit clearer aswell in earpiece, Z wifi is weaker and obviously due to a smaller battery, battery doesn't last as long. Camera/video I would say the S4 edges it but not by much

The Z is better to look at and and im sorry all those saying the screen on the Z is rubbish need to go to their opticians as the screen on the Z looks much sharper and better looking than the S4, not as good as the one on the HTC One but not far off, also the Z looks better than the S4 not that the S4 is ugly as I love the look of the S4 too, the Zs UI and keyboard etc are all better, the Z is just as smooth as the s4 if not smoother. TBH if the speaker was louder, earpiece was louder and audio volume was louder and wifi signal strength was stronger I would say the Z is the best phone on the market atm. The Z has restored my faith in sony as when I had the xperia S and T last year I wasn't happy atall.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scorpi786:
I have a XZ and the wife a S4 and tbh there isn't much between the two.

Screen: Alot of song and dance is made about the samoled 1080p panel, and its obvious why the blacks are amazing but that's at the cost of the whites which are quite common on webpages (xz wins in whites). The viewing angles are better on the S4 although not as much as the reviews seemed to make out, one area where the XZ is better is the visibility in sunlight.

Winner: Close call id give it to the S4 sometimes colours seem a bit too saturated with XZ but not much in it overall.

Sound: The loudspeaker on the S4 rapes the XZ due to the XZ's waterproof ability. In call is slightly louder on the S4 but not by much, the S3 was amazing for in call volume.

Winner: S4 by a mile

Camera: Both use the same chip but different software is implemented and some hardware is different I believe (im no expert so could be wrong).

Anyway the XZ originally was a bit slow but with the latest update is on par with the S4 if not better, just took two pictures (night here in England) and the XZ was clearly better (both on auto, flash off). (uploaded both pics to pc for analysis)

Winner: Close call was about to say the XZ due to my rather short samples but im not a expert and reviewers praise the S4 so Id say a draw.

Battery: Both phones used differently so hard to compare. Depends on alot of variables such as area used, syncs, etc. I can't do a proper review of it but my amateur opinion says the S4 is better, more screen time but that could be because the wife is mostly on wifi at home. Anyway there's not a great deal if the S4 is better its not by more then 10%,

Winner: S4

Design: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so not much too say there, material wise though the XZ is better and it feels more solid. The S4 has the advantage of removable battery and is more comfortable to use in the hand. Then again the XZ is dust and water proof and has soft keys.

Winner: XZ

Software: Id say stock xperia is definitely better then stock touchwiz based on design but then again that's user preference. I love the smart stay feature in touchwiz though and the vibrate when you pick up for messages/put phone to head to call from messages.

Xperia has the Bravia Engine though and as we mostly view photos on our phone these days that's a neat trick. Overall both are running 4.22 and rock solid so not much in it.

Winner: Draw.

Overall score: S4 wins 3. XZ 1. And 2 draws.

Conclusion: Both great phones and not much too seperate them, go check them out in store before you buy either and see which one you prefer. At the same time check out the HTC One...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shan89:
Great honest comparison mate :thumbup:

You forgot performance , s4 wins here thx to s600 ( specifically gaming )

Battery is much better since s4 gets average 4:30/5 hrs screen time. While xz barely makes it 3:30.

Anyway these 2 vs one are pretty much weaker in every aspect.

Speakers ate better and louder then on both

Headphones are also better with more quality then on both , also louder.

Screen is better by much then on both. ( tho amoled has better blacks ) also better viewing angle , brighter , and better sunlight visibility.

System speed is much better then on both. ( even faster then n4 on 4.3 )

Design .. I'd say only xz and one are pretty , I'd call this one personal preference.

Build quality .. I guess we agree aluminum is more premium ( + serves as a heat sink so one is much cooler then both )

Camera is actually better then on xz after the recent updates both in day light and dark , also the camera is much snappier then both , as for video neither comes close to one thx to the ois and hdr mics

Speaker for calls is also better , again stereo and it's very loud and clear.

Front camera is also better then on both + wide angle

Battery is on par with s4 if not better , at least in my case I perform much better then the cousins s4. , the other cousin with xz usually gets around 2:50/ 3:20 screen time. outside. While my average is 6 hrs screen time with heavier usage .

I guess this would be my 2 cents.

Btw my cousins have s4 and xz while my friend has n4 , pretty much surrounded with mobile geeks lol. So this comes from the tests I made with them , if you guys need some screen shots , or pic samples lemme know.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCJ89:
Having had the HTC one earlier in the year, three things i disagree on are

1) audio is actually better on the s4, but the HTC one is louder

2) battery life on HTC is not better than S4 and i certianly wouldnt call it close either especially if we include standby time though it is better than the xperia z.

3) as for looks i really do not like the fact that the One has the htc sign inbetween the buttons i think thats ugly, i think all three phones look good, if i was to choose an order it would be XZ, S4 then One.

The main reasons for getting the s4 and selling the one was better battery and memory card slot as i ran out of memory on the one and i seriously hope htc change this as 25gb isnt enough. Also while the one is loud i feel it lacks the bass of the s4 and XZ, also i find the custom eqaulizers better than simply beats on or off

Hello everybody,

I am in big trouble. Android os is using my data in background. please explain me why i can't control this background usage.

I turned off every sync. I used droidwall, data manager, apn switch but still eating my data. please kindly help me how to solve this thread?

data switch should have control of all data usage.

thanks for reading my thread.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] JJEgan:
You are turning Mobile Data OFF but the phone is still using mobile data ???

Data use in the background is usually apps updates .

If mobile data toggle is off it uses no mobile data only wifi .

Hi Everyone, my friend is having the exact same problem, the status shows Android OS has downloaded 300+MB today. Anyone know what causes this? He has updated to the latest stock version of the OS via Keis. I have check all his other app settings and they are only downloading the usual 5MB per few days. This is very annoying.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] nateboi81:
If you set a limit in data usage it should cut it off when you go over it. I'd probably try a full wipe and start from scratch
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] JJEgan:

Find something on Play store that monitors individual apps data usage .

Or just turn mobile data off .

Mobile Data is off so that nothing gets downloaded, that is the first thing I told him to do. I am at a loss as to what else to tell him. The only thing I can think of is installing another stock ROM via Odin.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] JJEgan:
If Mobile data is off then you need to be sure that its actually using data and check via the network .

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] protonpower:
Yes it is using the data as he got a text message from EE saying that he has nearly used up all his data plan and will be charged if he goes over it. So something is downloading as Android OS, an update has been done and am stumped. All other apps have their own download info so unless some other app that is badly made.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] JJEgan:
So that means Mobile Data is not turned off check the toggle .

jje
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] protonpower:
Yes it is turned off. But when he wants to check FB, or News on the Phone it starts to update when he switches the phone on. He just text me and said that he has used up all his data and now is on 2G and can't afford to switch on 3G. So he will have to wait till the end of the month before he can use 3G. So I am not sure what to do. It seems a lot of people have this problem but it seems that no one knows what causes it. I thought it happened mostly on ICS but I have seem some people saying that their ROM (JB) has done the same thing.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] JJEgan:
Its a question of tracking down the updating app .

Turn firmware updates off in the settings for one .

Have a look on Google Play My Apps update them over WiFi .

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] JackHanAnLG:
Hey guys, I really do want this phone, but before I buy it I want to know how things are for the phone

Is the battery life good? I hear that it comes with a 2000mah battery but offers up to 30% extra due to the power saving options, do you get more then 3hours screen on time? my Galaxy S3 and nexus 4 get around 2.5/3 hours max which just isnt good enough

Does it get dangerously hot? I want this phone not because of the camera, processor or anything like that, I want it for its build quality, saying that its made of metal and obviously metal absorbs heat, does it get really hot? also the hotter the battery the worse battery life you get if im not mistaken?

Is the performance any good? some people say it sluggish, some people say its good, Ive seen a few videos and the UI seems smooth and elegant but it would be nice to read it from people who have had the device for more then a day. Also, its a quad core A9 at 1.5ghz why does it run so badly on Antutu? i saw a 130000 score before, roughly the same as a tegra 3 if im not mistaken. I know benchmarks dont mean anything, but im a benchmark junkie :P

Hows connectivity? In my area its normally pretty good, although ive read it drops out sometimes

thanks for reading and I hope you reply with some good comments

Jack
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] raxman68:
the battery works for about one day ... think it could be better ...

the perfomance is pretty good, maybe the people telling, that it is poor, have an old firmware e.g. B104 in germany ...

when playing a long time or watching video, it could get warmer, but for me, it is not hot ...

alltogether :good:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mkstevo:
I can normally get two days of light use from the 'phone (well from 6am day one to 6pm on day two). However, something has a tendency to hog the processor if I leave it switched on overnight. If I switch the 'phone off (power down) over night (from 11pm to 6am) I can easily get three or four days use. I use the 'phone mostly for sending a few texts, half an of web browsing in the evening on the bus (which warms the 'phone up) and an hour of BlueTooth music on the bus morning and evening. This uses around 20% battery per day.

I find that in everyday use the 'phone has plenty of processing power. Scrolling through the BBC News app is smoother than my old Xperia Z.

Connectivity seems fine and compared to my old Xperia Z and the iPhone 5 certainly no worse, although with the current official firmware, the signal gauge seems to constantly go from 2 bars to no signal and back again. Both my workplace and my home are in relatively low signal areas anyway and often don't get much above one bar unless stood in the right corners of the house or workshop so I struggle for signal due to my location. Having said that, despite the gauge showing little or no signal, I don't suffer from having no connection (at least no more than with the other two 'phones) and sending messages or reading websites on the bus across the transmitter blackspots of The Lincolnshire Wolds is no less reliable than any other 'phone I've used in these locations.

I think this is the best 'phone I've owned for a long time. I've not liked a 'phone as much since my HTC HD Mini, including the iPhone 5 and Xperia Z already mentioned.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] JackHanAnLG:
Thanks for the reply, it seems that with newer firmware the phone has gotten better? Im thinking if i were to root the device and underclock it too 1.0ghz the heat would go down and also save a bit of battery life, I use this method on my Galaxy S3 and get around an hours worth of screen on time

Let me know what you think, Jack
