[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Unfortunately, this won't do any good. I understand why you posted it, I posted a similar warning in the root thread itself (the link is at the bottom of my signature), however, people will not read that either. I made my post to direct people to "after the fact" so they can see why they screwed up more than a warning before they screw up. I've made a few posts in threads like that, TheAxman has made a couple of threads instructing people about it, and a few others have done the same. It's even in the XDA rules that these people are supposed to be reading and agreeing to before they even can post.

One of the problems is that people use XDA to run to so they can ask questions about something they screwed up instead of using XDA as a place to come to to search, read, and learn. I can't tell you how many times I've seen, "It's Q & A, so I'm asking a question!". These individuals don't realize or care that the Q & A section isn't a replacement for them reading, searching, and learning, it is a section for people that HAVE read, searched, and learned, and have found something they need help with that hasn't been posted about and addressed 20 times already.

It really just comes down to laziness, ignorance, and people that think they are entitled. People that think their time is more valuable than the time of others and think everything should just be handed to them. If your time is so valuable that you can't take a little of it to read what others spent their time posting already, than you don't need to be doing anything to your phone...and probably shouldn't even have one.

So, yea, I understand why you made this post, and I think posts like this are definitely needed, but I just don't see the people that are causing the problems in the first place reading this or even caring to read it if someone points it out to them. Remember, their time is more valuable than yours.

I'm going to have to bump this again because if people would READ the forum and all the information thats here on the forum they would know that there's no recovery for MF3 at the moment. Also not to upgrade to MF3 if your on MDL. also not to try to flash a ROM on MF3. You can root. Now you got multiple posts in different threads from the same person that if he/she woukd have read then wouldn't be in this situation.

Hi everyone, Just wanted to post this as I have found it to be useful for me.

I am sure some of you have seen this issue before or are experiencing it now. I have included a link to the youtube video.

what is the issue?

Recently after downloading the newest play store I started seeing an error message about unfortunately the process gapps has stopped working .

this was happening whenever i tried to add an account and when opening some of my apps including the browser and play store

.

it was annoying me but it would go away and the app would immediately open for me after so it was not that big of a problem.

I tried to solve the problem first by uninstalling updates to the play store in application manager

,

then by flashing roms and factory resetting

, however this did not help at all.

l

. finally last night at work my phone had three random reboots . my phone has never done that before

. I searched on google and found a very easy fix and once again my phone is like new

.

the fix.

settings/ application manager/scroll to left until you reach the all applications screen/ touch menu screen left of the home button/ reset app preferences.

here is the youtube link

Bro thanks for your work.

I wanna ask that as you used that phone how was that means display and performance wise???

I am thinking to get this phone!!!
[Sony Xperia M] whoisboss84:
performance is great and best for this range bro, but display is little tricky i mean theres a lot of blue tint in the screen...

m thinking to buy this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamkang.fauxdisplay&hl=en

but not sure if it will help or not..
[Sony Xperia M] Droidlover123:
I am planning to get this phone!!!

All features packed in a super budget phone!!!

I too saw a blue tint in a YouTube video!!!!

Tell me results if you get positive results via that app!!
[Sony Xperia M] DooMLoRD:
no use unless there is custom kernel with proper patches
[Sony Xperia M] Droidlover123:
Bro your review about phone's display and performance??
[Sony Xperia M] Droidlover123:
Please can you post some screen shots of phone and its features.

And pls upload them to some file hosting sites as uploading here at xda degrades photo quality!!
[Sony Xperia M] whoisboss84:
no use of taking screenshot from phone itself and i dont have my s3 or any other cam with me now at office so cant post images now but take a look at this video by amit uploaded on youtube(watch in HD)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VY9CMYxmz4
[Sony Xperia M] Droidlover123:
I already saw that video.

And try giving me screens when you reach Home!!!

And I think it's software problem so future update might fix that
[Sony Xperia M] whoisboss84:
yup its a software issue, they have just messed up he colors in order to make screen more bright... contacted sony service center and they said screen and cam will b improved in future firmware updates as they are getting these complains from all the xperia M customers and they have noted it..

again as for performance the fone is a blast.. played many 3d games including MODERN COMBAT 3 (CHAPTER - 5 - CHASE) which lags even on GALAXY S3 stock rom but its running smooth on this fone..:D
[Sony Xperia M] Droidlover123:
That's good thing if Sony fix it asap

And hope we will get a separate xperia m section soon.

And

Still starving for this phone's features screen shots!!

If you can provide!!
[Sony Xperia M] SharpnShiny:
Do add a request for an M section guys! Or we will never get it lol. I made my request the other day. I bought an M online, I should have it soon.

Check out all the online reviews and Youtube videos, there is no lack of first-hand information about the screen.

Is anyone else excited about modding the LED at the bottom of the phone? Apps always appear allowing you to mod this on Sony phones. OK, I know that it's not the biggest LED in the world but it nice huh? :victory:

I'm going to try using this phone as my main portable media player, using Sony's Media Go. The M has the full Sony sound mods; Clear Bass, Clear Audio, Clear Stereo, xLoud etc. I noticed that they don't make a big advertisement of this (they clearly want to boost the Xperia L) but in the White Paper and User Guide...the phone has all those things. ;)
[Sony Xperia M] ortax123:
Do you know when can expected new firmware? I am curious if it's only fault of firmware. Maybe the screen and camera is of low quality and has technical defect.

When you get the phone- write opinion about the screen and camera
[Sony Xperia M] alvinhochun:
Well I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64. The compiler it uses is the arm-eabi-gcc-4.7 from within CyanogenMod. There were a few "maybe uninitialized" warnings which get treated as errors, I just added initialization to them and it compiles. I will be pushing the changes to my github tree, but I can only do that 4 hours later.

Which defconfig are you using? I forgot mine, will need to check to tell you.

I just tried the compiled kernel using proj_S3A_user_defconfig with the cwm that I packed a few days ago, and the display and buttons worked. Not ready to test with stock system yet (need working CWM to swap in the kernel modules). I am now trying to enable framebuffer console, but not working yet.

Still can't push to git tree. I am at school and for whatever reason it doesn't connect to school WiFi, so I can only do that at home.

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

Sony's developer site is down, I am not able to download from there can anybody check by downloading

http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...ves/open-source-archive-for-build-15-1-a-1-9/
[Sony Xperia M] icoolguy1995:
FINALLY that error solved!!!

But now i am getting some forbidden warnings by which zimage is not forming!

Help is needed!

EDIT 1) finally got an image but it is not termed as zimage don't know why ??

anybody want to test it??

it is compiled with linario toolchain 4.7
[Sony Xperia M] alvinhochun:
Hey if you built your kernel why don't you try that? if it's not a zimage then what is it? Did you do `make zimage`?

On my side I am still trying to get the framebuffer console working, but it seems to kernel panic very early. I managed to get a `last_kmsg` bit it doesn't contain any kernel panic messages.

I wanted framebuffer console so I can see where does the CWM build fail, but I will see if `last_kmsg` can suffice. Will do it tomorrow cause I'm going to bed. zzz
[Sony Xperia M] icoolguy1995:
When i build first with Linario toolchain4.7 it gave me error " unknown architecture"

Then i downloaded google toolchain 4.6.3 it compiled well without any errors and warnings!

Currently i am out of bandwidth so i couldn't download Android SDK to unlock my bootloader.

Hence no testing, but i am pretty sure that the zimage will boot without any fuss!

But first i need to make it in elf or boot.img.

Can anyone give me its stock kernel?
[Sony Xperia M] alvinhochun:
I've dumped the boot partition and uploaded it somewhere on this forum, and I've also extracted the kernel and ramdisk. Dig through these threads a little bit.

As per building kernel, I don't know what's your problem but what I can think of is that you need to set ARCH=arm. You can either prepend or append it to your make command (like `make ARCH=arm`). Or what I've done in my previous ipaq214 project is to modify the Makefile to force it to use arm as target arch. It doesn't really sound like a problem of the toolchain but well, I don't know.

I am certainly more naive than other devs on this problem, but I do have some experience in porting Android, though it is likely that I'll use dirty hacks.

Sent from my Sony Xperia M (C1905)
[Sony Xperia M] icoolguy1995:
First of all i am using this command

Make- j3 ARCH=arm

And after searching on google i found that unknown architecture error is related to Linario toolchain.

And now problem is solved.

And i will be now adding features to my KERNEL. I am just waiting for our forum.

Hope till then you also compile your CWM.
[Sony Xperia M] alvinhochun:
OK, I finally noticed the problem. Turns out that I was acting stupid.

After a lot of trouble, I finally get the recovery log -> /etc/recovery.fstab isn't read properly -> recovery is using another fstab format -> the CWM version is 6.0.4.4 -> I mistakenly cloned the cm-10.2 branch.

Back to the cm-10.1 branch and then CWM recovery finally boots, but of course the screen still shifts by half. I heard that it is a bug in CWM, or is it not?

Anyway, getting back to work.

For flashing dis firmware do i need to unlock bootloader bcoz i want to try tat firmware in xperia m dual
[Sony Xperia M] dunc4n88:
That won't work as its for the c1904 model might brick the device
[Sony Xperia M] sidrock622:
ya i knew:(:(:(:(

i want to know wheather i need to unlock bootloader?? just need to try tat firmware i downloaded dual sim firmware for saftey
[Sony Xperia M] icoolguy1995:
No unlock bootloader is not require.

And just got confirmation from admin that our device forum will be add on MONDAY.
[Sony Xperia M] alvinhochun:
Great, so we are going to have a forum next week.

BTW I am currently working on adding a Makefile rule to generate the boot image with recovery combined. I am not sure if there are any existing tools for that for other similar Xperia devices (AFAIK most the Xperia devices don't have a dedicated recovery partition) but I am going to write my one anyway. After I completed it, making the combined boot image should be as simple as doing `make combinedimage`.

Advantage of this: Building CWM which can be flashed is that simple (as above).

Disadvantage of this: If anyone building only the kernel want to have CWM embedded using this method, the full CynogenMod source will be needed, although we can always fall back to typing commands one by one.

The tree I am working on: https://github.com/alvinhochun/cyanogenmod_device_sony_nicki

I should be able to upload a new working CWM for Xperia M (C1905 and hopefully C1904 will work too) by tomorrow, hopefully. After that I *might* start to try porting CyanogenMod 10.1... (I previously said AOSP, but I don't really want to clone AOSP source again, will take forever)

Hope everything I build will be useful.

BTW had anyone figured out where are the sysfs paths for controlling the LEDs?
[Sony Xperia M] sidrock622:
ok thanks for replying needed to swap internal memory badly for m dual:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Sony Xperia M] icoolguy1995:
No, currently i have shifted my project to xperia E dual couldn't find how to repack it. And thats great that you are building Cyanogenmod for this device, and i like that you were making a seperate partition for recovery. But before building Cyanogenmod go for TWRP because that recovery is just awesome. I am not able to downloaded cyanogenmod source hence no recovery stuff for me but really you are doing a great job! And how did you unlock your bootloader? Did you follow the official route?

Many users complain about the screen on your Sony Xperia M. The problem is that the projected image is too many shades of blue and the colors are natural

And here's a comparison display Xperia Xperia M and L

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53phC_39RgE

What is interesting in the prototype display quality Xperia M was better

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-TZ16IojJE
[Sony Xperia M] SharpnShiny:
^^

That is true about the screen, and I read somewhere that Sony has already recognised this and said they can easily correct this in an update. I agree that the pre-production version looks more properly calibrated. Didn't Sony add a screen calibration to some of the higher priced phones? I believe the Xperia Z has a screen calibrator. Note that between the time of release to now (not long at all) Sony has already updated the phone:

http://www.xperiaguide.com/2013/08/...roid-4-1-2-15-1-a-1-9-firmware-update-rolled/

I do not know if this is the update that will fix that but I'll try it as soon as I get the phone (tomorrow or Monday)

I still don't see this phone on PTCRB so I can't predict future updates.

p.s. keep an eye on this: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_m-5497.php

They will soon have a review of things like battery life and audio quality tests. I note that Sony has a video playback time for this phone of 9 hours 42 minutes. The Xperia L has something like 7 hours 32 minutes but in the GSM Arena tests it failed miserably, despite Sony's quoted battery time. I can't wait to see if the M performs OK.
