Hello timothyadam,

yesterday my "mini s" was also dead (no booting os!), but:

when you are in the screen with the three colors (press Voice and camera Button and then reset) and you have connect the mini s via usb cable (in the left down corner you must see USB) then you can click the exe (imate or qtek prodigy file) and this work.

Regards

I've tried that, but since the K-Jam rom update only works when the device isn't in bootloader, i can't get it to recognize the device...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] alex1080:
Hi everyone,

Wondering if someone could give me advice on using assisted dialing. I'm using Sprint HTC One abroad (in Ukraine) and I always used assisted dial on my CDMA phones. But recently I upgraded to HTC One and found that none of Sprint ROMs includes assisted dial feature. Actually similar feature is included as "north american dialing key" but it does not work the same way (it always assumes that home country is USA/CA). I looked inside Phone.apk (decompiled it to get smali files and readable xmls) and found that it still includes NBPCDUtility and AssistedDialingSettingV2 action but when I tried to launch them from shell (adb shell, am com.android.phone....) I receive a message that the Phone app has crashed. I also found that none of Sprint ROMs include HtcCdmaMccProvider.apk (contains db with country codes, IDD,NDD,etc), but Verizon ROMs still include this features (and HtcCdmaMccProvider). Then I tried to use Verizon apks but of course they didn't work (launching phone.apk writes to log "Failed to find provider info for com.htc.omadm" and then crashes).

So, I'm wondering if somebody (may be ROM makers :confused:) knows if there is a way to override mCurrentCountry (com/android/phone/nbpcd/NBPCDUtility) (like it works in many Verizon phones) without recompiling phone.apk?

Hey guys, I figured I'd share this with you all before I returned my MotoX. I won't ever update this--it comes as is. I'm sorry. It's the 4.2.2 Mms.apk from CM that I've inverted and made a little cooler. :)

I've used a different icon and I've made all the emoji Hangouts-styled. I will not be taking suggestions. I'm sorry if this bums you out. This is based off my theme-chooser theme "ShadowUI". Since I couldn't use theme-chooser on the MotoX, I just themed the Mms app the old fashioned way. I hope you enjoy!

Must be rooted to install. Obviously.

To install, just go to /system/app and rename the original (stock) "Mms.apk" to "Mms.apk.bak" and rename "Mms.odex" to "Mms.odex.bak". You must do this or you'll just get constant force closes when trying to open the app. After that, place this Mms.apk into /system/app and change the permissions to match that of all the other apps in the folder. (You can rename the apk to "Mms.apk", however, you don't have to).

I did updated my phone to ICS the day i bought it.

I used the bluetooth numerous number of times, but never had any problem,

but day b4 yesterday i used the sony factory widget to turn on bluetooth, i dont remember if i did used it before to turn bluetooth on or not.

The phone stopped responding for 2 sec, i thought its normal for android, and then it restarted.Until that point it was normal..

But then its stuck in bootloop.....

i saw various posts and have seen people have got to boot into system once in a while....

but bad for my luck i am trying from 24hrs... but no luck...

out of 10 boots or when battery is removed from phone from long time, phone shows lock screen for a milisecond and goes back to XPERIA logo and same story continues...

FYI: i had previous soft brick when used OTA update but got rid of it using "UnbrickingXperia2011.zip",

Please help me,,, i cant imagine a day without my best phone...

Go to CMW and then wipe catch and dalvik!!...it will boot into device but once you turn on bluetooth again then the whole thing starts up again!...

kernel?and rom?

Go back to GB if this is your everyday phone then i suggest a stable and reliable OS(I've had some bad experiences with ICS and JB but then again those are mine and my own views. Footnote:This was not to down play any devs :angel: )
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] banguncool:
I have same problem, just wipe dalvik cache and then after reboot install this "bluetooth fix repair" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phk.bluetoothfixrepair

Increase ISO to improve exposure

In this Update

The Low light images are sharper,

But underexposed (darker) in Auto mode..

those who are having this problem in low light with auto mode ,Can try the following steps manually to improve the quality..

Mode: Normal

ISO : 800

Flash : Auto(For nearby objects) or Fill Flash(for distant objects)..

HDR: off

Other settings :default

The results will be good..

[Sony Xperia L] scorpio_K:
Reverting back to 4.1 will be a good option for camera as 4.3 is coming

This update was called major because of camera changes but no use Sony do not know that anyone will like it

I think this camera issue should be reported so Sony people can do something
[Sony Xperia L] scorpio_K:
This is hell **** says tunein radio incompatible. Thus new version is absolute
[Sony Xperia L] subha7082:

[Sony Xperia L] Deleted member 4736004:

judge for yourself.
[Sony Xperia L] scorpio_K:

4.3 is much better I know it.
[Sony Xperia L] ZN6:
From where did you know we got 4.3 update this November?

If you said so, I might just skip this update and straight to 4.3.

And btw, how about multitouch on current update?

[Sony Xperia L] amnher:
It is the same with me. ISO readings reaches up to 2400 but still underexpose
[Sony Xperia L] scorpio_K:
Has anyone reported to Sony

I think Sony has stepped in poop after releasing this update;)
[Sony Xperia L] scorpio_K:
Multitouch is causing a same problem in nexus 7 (2013)version we just have to wait hoping it should get fixed. I am trying to find out a fix and it worked for me.

[Sony Xperia L] flatex:
some games arent opening, but the ones that work are way better/smoother than before
[Sony Xperia L] scorpio_K:
Yes that's the magic of firmware but the half hour lag still there its because of processor which is supposed to be the strong point of XL
[Sony Xperia L] xperiaL:
Pictures with flash are way darker than without flash and il really really HATE this New huge keyboard.

The previous keyboard. Was just Perfect for. Me... Doesn't somebody have an apk or something so i can install it? Apart From flash,have You noticed other camera issues?

Inviato dal mio C2105 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
I took some time to read this thread and if I don't have time for this I want to reply.First of all,the games are working well.I don't know why are you saying that subway surfers doesn't work.It works just fine for me.About camera,in my opinion it's awesome.We don't have that laggy image in low light,the video doesn't blink anymore(at least so far i haven't faced this bug),we have auto scn,burst,etc...About under exposed photos,it's not that bad.I think they did something about exposure in order to reduce the lag in low light...so if they'll fix it the lag will be back.Probably that's just the way XL camera is and honestly I prefer this way.It might be a hardware "issue".About multi touch,it's a little worse than before,but for 2 fingers is fine.You might have a hard time using 3 fingers,but hey,it's a mid-range phone.Display quality is not that good.The video playback however is as good as 4.1 or better.

[MENTION=5510618]scorpio_K[/MENTION] how did you find out about 4.3 update?We're few hours away for 1 nov...you're telling us that in less than 1 month we'll receive another update?This is a joke imo,Sony would never do that,it sound way too good.
[Sony Xperia L] xperiaL:
apart from the Keyboard request I made in the earlier post, have you noticed that the pre-installed small apps from the provious FW update (notes,calculator etc, they were five) just disappeared? the other small apps I downloaded from the Play Store are still there, but sony's are not. that's strange....

did it only happen to me?
[Sony Xperia L] amnher:
If they will only restore the sharpness like in 1.36 then add the newfeatures then the camera is the best

[Sony Xperia L] nolasco89:
Just updated my Xperia L to 4.2 and have noticed the Flash Exposure problem as well. The images come out very good without

flash however the ones clicked with flash are very under exposed even if exposure compensation is set at +1 or even +2 for that matter.

The correct exposure is displayed in the viewfinder while composing but the saved image is severely under exposed.

Have yet to discover any other bugs. Hope this bug is sorted out asap.
[Sony Xperia L] scorpio_K:
Nothing to worry no fixes now just have to wait 2 weeks for 4.3 camera is fixed :)
[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
After upgrading to 4.2.2..

What i felt about this updated is

1.the camera(you know what i mean)

2.location based reverted to 36 fw that is not so good(17 much better)

3.flickering screen when in low light(manual)..but responsive with auto with 20%-30% in brightness

4.little bit hotter in long usage.

5.battery draining(a bit)

6.clock still doesn't sync when in stamina mod

7.UI is much better

8.Overall performance great.

9.Touchscreen much better but still have an issue with it.
[Sony Xperia L] scorpio_K:
Ya that's perfect

So what u expect in 4.3?
[Sony Xperia L] scorpio_K:

[Sony Xperia L] scorpio_K:
Android nominated me for review giving nominations

I was asked to give review for 4.4 android subtopic was

Give detailed info about new launcher and user interface hope I am selected.

I need or best wishes friend friends please wish me!!!
[Sony Xperia L] cyberfrnd:
Updated my XL to 4.2 and loving it so far.

Lag is almost to nothing. It is smooth and fluid.

I think I have less storage now.

Transfer Data to SD card option in Storage often crashes.

Couple of Apps are not optimized for new update as of now.

Apps like Skype often crashes which was not present in earlier firmware.

New Walkman app is good but not the best. Poweramp is still the best for Listening to Music.

Installed DASH Clock Widget which was missing in 4.1 update.

Now coming to Camera. I agree to some extent with our fellow members.

But it is not at all that Bad. Bright Sun Light photos are excellent.

Only thing is in Low light pictures are darker. But still I need some time to explore its all features and bugs.

In Low light flash is sometimes powered accurately and photos are coming excellent but majority of times flash firing is inaccurate or is it some post processing bug that needs to be checked.

I think Sony will look into the matter and will try to rectify many of bugs in the 4.2 update.

So keeping fingers crossed.

Overall a good, silky smooth firmware upgrade from Sony.

Actually, they released the first firmware with new android version just for testing. So, they can collecting as many bugs that user found and try to fix it on the next update.

This situation also happened on Xperia P when it get it first android 4.1 Jelly Bean and get fixed all the bugs on the next update.

So, dont try to blame them and just have some patient.

But now I need to change it back to default Android Effect which like old crt type animation.

Can anyone help me out to find the solution.

This device sony xperial has 8gb internal memory but only 1,6 GB available for installing applications... Why is it like this ? Can the applications memory be extendend with the rest of the internal memory so that you can have more memory for installing apps ? Samsung galaxy s3 mini has the same amount of memory, but all of it is alocated for installing apps so it has arround 5,7 GB for installing apps, a lot better !

Hello,

I know that Galaxy S4 has water protected version and Xperia comes built in with it.

How about LG G2, If I wil go on the street while its raining would my phone go under any risk?

Thoughts?

Thanks!
[G2 General] offenberg:
No. Please dont use your G2 under rain.
[G2 General] rommark:
That's bit ackward I paid 950USD for G2 and didnt bought Xperia and G2 cant even stand a rain?
[G2 General] dmbardal:
You paid 950 USD for the G2?!

Holy ...!

Thats ~200 USD more than what I paid. $253 actually.

You my dear Sir, paid way too much for the LG G2.
[G2 General] rommark:
Yes :/ its the price in Israel but I ended up paying this since I dont want to replace my phone in the next two years and I wanted to get the best I can even if it means pay out of my savings to have a phone that will give me good work quality and stability for next 2 years at least.
[G2 General] custo:
$$$$$ != waterproof.....
[G2 General] offenberg:
Electronic vs Water. Awkward? LG never stated that the G2 was waterproof. Uf water gets into the device it will die. Sorry :)
[G2 General] rommark:
Oh well ... Electronics vs water but in fact Xperia and S4 Active made it happen but oh well.... it cant be compared to G2's level so I take it as granted and gonna plan to get good case that will deliver the right protection (there is one that will protect against a rain?) ?
[G2 General] offenberg:
I haven't seen any waterproof cases yet. Try Amazon ? The G2 is much more popular in the states than in the rest of the world.
[G2 General] lch920619x:
Normal S4 is not waterproof either... the S4 active has inferior specs...
[G2 General] mgolder:
You surely didn't expect it to be waterproof did you? Did you buy the phone blindly without knowing the spec, as if you wanted it to be fully waterproof then why did you buy it?

You need to ask, do you really absolutely have to use it in the rain?
[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
This phone has no protection against water at all.
[G2 General] rommark:
Its not like I am going to use it in FACT in rain. Just generally what if it happens that I talk and bang rain starts and I i am in critical call, few seconds of Rain will finish the phone?
[G2 General] usefulidiot127:
I've gotten some drops on my phone during the rain. Obviously if I need to use it I shield it and try to keep it safe but I've never had any problems with rain damaging any of my devices. I'm just careful, and if it gets some drops on it, I wipe them off.

I don't think the G2 is any better or worse than anything else out there (not including waterproof devices.)
[G2 General] mgolder:
Ahhh, well, no, a few drops of rain aren't going to do anything. Unless they happen to fall right into an open port or something, but that is unlikely. As ling as it isn't torrential rain for a long period beating onto the phone you should be ok.

I've had a few drops of rain get on mine, like most people. No problem caused.
[G2 General] rommark:
Ok need find a good case as I dont want loose 950USD device due to some accident....

The TF701T is listed in Newegg for preorder for $449 with the release date of 11/4 for USA. Apparently it does not include the docking, although the pictures show otherwise.

Nothing in Amazon so far, just the dock from a third party seller.
