[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr-perry:
I've recently received a used Xperia PLAY from a friend and it appears he might have tampered with it or it might just be general wear and tear but there are a few things wrong with it I believe are all software based. I can't exactly send this into Sony because of course, it's second hand.

I want to do a factory reset on the phone because the home button won't work anywhere except to turn the screen on and I just want to start over with the phone instead of dealing with all of the settings my friend had previously fiddled with. Except when I try to do a factory reset through setting>privacy>factory data reset, it asks me for a pin that apparently my friend had never added. I've tried the obvious 0000, 1234, 9999 etc. and it just won't work. So after trying this I've decided to do a hard reset, except guess what, it simply doesn't work. I've tried holding down the back and search button and then pressing the on button and continue to hold the other two buttons but it doesn't take me to any menu of any sorts to do a hard reset. I'm yet to find any other method to do a hard reset, are there any other methods?

When I connect it into the computer both my computer and the PC Companion Tool recognize that it's there whether I have my phone on MTP or MSC however it refuses to do anything but charge on the phone. A small notification at the top is supposed to appear and you're supposed to drag down the top and click on it, right? Yeah, that doesn't show at all. It's as if it's just charging at the wall or something.

Although the phone works and functions alright without the use of the home button, I don't exactly want to just give up because I really want to do a factory reset.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks! :D

Hello,

Something happened with my Samsung Exhibit II phone after installing new ROM from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2185107

First, the installation went OK and the phone booted in the new environment. But since Google Apps were missing I rebooted my phone again into recovery mode and installed Google Apps and also SwapSD. Then I selected "restart phone" and after that I cannot turn my phone on. It looks like it is dead. The battery was OK (charged in full). So, the phone does not react to pressing any buttons at all. Is it familiar situation? Is there anything to do?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mwhitt:
Might be wrong gapps, or the swapsd, Try wiping and flashing again without SwapSD

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Try taking the battery out for a few minutes. Then replace it and see if it turns on.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jessk2:
Didn't help. I removed a battery for 10 minutes, put it back, pressed "Volume Up + power" and nothing happened.

I am wondering if it is possible that installing a wrong apps (like SwapSd or Gapps) could kill a phone?

Even when I plug the charger in the phone, I don't see that the phone is charging. Usually, the battery icon would appear with percentage of charge. Now, nothing is happening.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Plug it into a windows computer. If it installs drivers for qhusb or something like that, you might be hard bricked.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jessk2:
Nothing happened. It looks like a dead phone, no reaction on any my attempts.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Try pressing the power button, hold it down while holding the volume down button. Hopefully that will get you into download mode so you can try ODIN to reflash your ROM and/or recovery. If you get nothing while trying to do that, than yeah, I'd say your device is toast.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jessk2:
Well, it didn't work either.

Is it possible that wrong software can cause a phone's death? This phone is only 1.3 year old, the battery was OK.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
No, brick yes but kill the phone no. Guess the hardware just gave you the old proverbial middle finger looks like. On the bright side you now have a reason to get something better.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zuperxtreme:
Hey all, I know this has been asked a ton of times, but I couldn't find an answer for my problem... so maybe someone could help me out.

I'm having issues connecting my SG3 to my PCs.

I've tried with USB debugging on/off, restarting the phone, removing the battery, download mode and recovery mode. On three PCs, Windows 8 and 7.

The odd thing is that it does connect sometimes, maybe for 10 seconds and then I get the windows sound like the device was removed. Sometimes it only connects as charging, sometimes it doesn't even do that.

I'm wondering if the OS could be a problem (I bought it unlocked, looks like they rooted it and installed a custom OS though):

Model number:

GT-19300

Android version:

4.2.2

Baseband:

I9300XXUFME7

Kernel:

3.0.31-702147

se.infra@SEP-86 #1

Build:

JDQ39.I9300XXEFME7

I also have CWN Manager 3.5 (though it gives me an error that it should be used with CF-CWM 1.1 or higher, don't know my version)

SuperSu is also installed.

Is there any way to figure out what ROM was installed?

I tried changing my external SD to mass storage with SGS3 Easy UMS, but that didn't help either.

Also, tomorrow I'm going to see if I can test with a different cable (though I've been using the factory one).

Can I maybe change my OS without PC (I can send files over Airdroid)?

Any ideas?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Forz:
I've started to consider a Wizard as a WM5 development unit, alongside my Magician, however, there are a couple of questionmarks that I need to straighten out first :)

One should never look too much at the processor speeds, but the TI OMAP 850, which runs at 200MHz doesn't sound much to the Magicians' 400MHz XScale CPU.

Does anyone have experience from both platforms? Does it "feel" sluggish?

* Audio quality / sound level

I've grown accustomed to quite a nice audio quality, but rather poor sound (phone) level on the Magician. Is this a problem with all HTC units, or is the Wizard an exception?

* Bluetooth stack

Is the A2DP profile available, or are there severe limitations as always with the MS stack? Which profiles are available btw?

* Generic performance

I read about TCPMP lately has been improved giving 100% performance on the TI OMAP 850, but how does other application stack?

I really don't use CPU intensive applications or games, but I still enjoy a fast response from the OS.

* Any minor/major issues?

Are there any kind of issues or annoyances YOU might have found?

Sorry for the lengthy post, but I feel You hacker-type guys are the only people who might help me, since the people selling these are only interested in another sale.

Thank you for your help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] monkeyphonix:
I've not had an HTC phone that had decent phone quality, main issue has always been garbled voice from speaker. Compare it with say something like a mundane SE phone like a T610 or K700i and they are much more 'high fidelity' if you like for in call quality.

Wizard is slower than Magician, but things like not having to rely on backup batteries and WM5 and the ROM/RAM config is the reason. You can tweak it to run about 10-20% quicker though with a little patience. Some good 'hacks' too like accessing the extended ROM and the unlocker both kindly made by developers here.

Most 'issues' are intangible if coming straight to the device from a phone or something, only when you have been using a Blue Angel or Magician that you notice the speed. The offset is the quality feel, WM5 which I find lots better than 2003SE (not everyone agrees) the keyboard, WIFI and Bluetooth 2.

I think you can change the Bluetooth stack, best search the forums for that one.

I'm just starting in my attempt to develop apps for Android, and am starting by learning Java. I have downloaded the Headfirst Java textbook along with JDK and Eclipse. However, I can still not open the .class and .java extension files needed for the textbook. Perhaps I did something wrong? What exactly is supposed to open those files? I am running Windows 8 and have not figured this out. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] amit.rai:
.class is a compiled executable, just like exe why you need to see the content of it, .class is meant to be executed. just do java <yourclass_name> and press enter. in CMD prompt. it will run.

as you said you had installed eclipse/JDK?, then to open java file it is an editor.

Are you facing anything else ?

[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] John Waugh:
Eclipse can be kinda funky if you haven't got your classpath set up correctly. Try installing Intellij IDEA and opening the .java files in that, compiling then running.

If you have a hard time installing JDK

Try goormIDE

You can easily build a development environment with a cloud IDE service that provides docker-based containers.

You could boot into recovery and try flashing the rom again too see what error it was, it could be that you need to just upload the bootloader.

Do you have a micro sd card? do you have a micro sd card reader for your computer? If so, download a rom and gapps (if required), put the files on the mico sd card and put the micro sd card back in your phone, boot into recovery, do a full wipe and flash the rom and then gapps (if needed).

so i wipe and flash cyanogen+gapps again?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
Looks like it was a bad download. You need to download the rom again (make sure its for your device) along with the gapps.

boot into recovery and do a full wipe

install rom then gapps

then reboot the phone.

In the future you should check the md5 of the download before flashing it. If the md5 matches then you okay to flash, if it doesnt match, then theres something wrong with the download. Just google "check md5", then go from there.

Hello all, and thx in advice.

This is my second mod on android, since the first was a kernel mod.

And eventually, I want to port this to the new nexus 7 to make it a 1920x1080, I found how to edit the softkeys, sign the new framework apk, and so, but I cannot find how to make them use exactly 60 pixels.

Are any file on the framework that have someting to do with this? Like saying for example, total with=800 and any way to calculate the exact DP the softkeys need to have in order to use 60 exact pixels?

Hi! I have a SGS2 with entel chile ROM stock.

What can I do??

I read about a box called JTAG riff box, and this box can re-write the boot fot the SGS2...

PS: Sorry for the awful english. I hope the idea is clear

Probably isn't JTAG'able so don't waste your money on a RIFF box. If you can get someone who already has one/knows how to use it to take a look at the phone on the basis of you only pay if it is JTAG'able, then do that; you have nothing to lose.

However, in all likelihood only a motherboard replacement is fixing this.
[Xperia Z1 General] jluster:
After posting the camera comparison between old and .257 firmware I went out and did some more testing. This is one (actually, one of the better) shot done indoors at ISO 250, manual, slight +EV, 8MP 4:3.

I have boxed the three main complaints with this image:

green: heavy artifacts at color bridges, this is likely still the same issue of oversharpening and next-pixel balancing getting into each others' faces

red: in flat color areas it introduces huge noise

orange: fine detail such as faces is washed out and unusably so

Three things are different here: I'd used the phone for a while and it had gotten a little warmer than it'd been when I took the outdoors photos. In general do I notice a distinct reduction in image quality as the phone gets warmer, I took the same picture twice, sandwiching a ten second video (and we know how hot the phone gets from even short video). After the "your phone is too hot" message went away I took a second picture and it looked like crap. It's indoors, ISO 250 instead of 50 ... and it's a very color and detail intensive image.

[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
That's a tricky shot to get because of the back lighted window. Ideally a fill flash situation but not an option in your case given the apparent distance. It isn't surprising to see the problem areas you noted tend to cluster around the window. So how do you find the detail in the rest of the shot where the food is for example, its hard to say anything more because this is a downsampled image with no orignal provided.

Did you use spot metering here ? Where you metered off will influence how the detail appears. Its properly exposed from what i can see. Nice shot :)

I've seen mixed reports about heating when using the camera. Some say it does not heat up too much whereas other say it does. had chatted with someone about this and was told even videoing for ten minutes did not heat it up too much. Too much is relative here with other devices i suppose.
[Xperia Z1 General] jluster:
That's why I avoid making statements about exposure. What I am attempting (and I think I am being successful) to show is the introduction of fringing, halos, artifacts, oversharpening noise, and next-pixel supersample blur. This is by the way not a downsample, it's a 1:1 100% crop (as, I believe, any camera comparison should be. Worse are those passing off AutoAwesome and AutoEnhance pictures as "in camera," but that's another rant for another time.

I had a chance to chitchat with some Sony engineers on Saturday and they seem to be reluctantly aware (and considering they're dogfooding 4.3 right now, I think we'll see little improvement in that arena) of the next-pixel issues and artifacts.

Let me make this clear: I don't think this is bad camera mojo. It's acceptable (5th after iPhone, Nokia, and Samsung Galaxy S4 isn't all that bad) but given the amazing hardware we have it makes me sad that we don't get better.
