[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YeoZy96:
For those who update to android 4.3 via Firmware-Over The Air (FOTA) and having sharp eyes may notice some bugs due to the leftovers of /data of android 4.2.

Here is a list of bugs I found :

- Sony Select takes forever to load

- Xperia with Facebook takes forever to sign in and load

- Ui layout issue when uninstalling app

The first two issue is rather easy to fix.

AFTER FOTA A IMMEDIATE FACTORY RESET IS COMPULSORY (internal storage need not wipe)

Press thanks if I helped you :)

Also Sony have completely knackered the Bluetooth stack... When I first got my z1 it was on 4.2 and would connect to my car audio system (navi 800 in a 2011 Vauxhall insignia) with no problem, allowing me to make and receive calls using the voice control on hands free.. After the update to 4.3, it connects but will not make or receive calls.. I contacted Sony who more or less said it was the audio systems fault! They obviously have done zero regression testing at all! I have tried the audio with a s3 which was running 4.3 upgrade with no problems.. If Samsung can make it work why can't Sony!

If anyone knows of a fix for this I will be extremely grateful!

Did you try the factory reset? Before that, I would delete the from phone from the car and the car from the phone, then re-pair. If that doesn't work, factory reset. If that doesn't work, reflash the 290 FTF.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
This button is only to force the phone to turn completely off. It does not reset anything. Make sure that's what you tried for the reset.

The only proof is really to flash back to 4.2.2 and prove that's what did it. Sorry, there's not much else I can recommend here.

Hi,

I have just had a look at the FlashTool Guide and saw this -

- Red: Firmware selector to selct the firmware you want to flash

- Blue: this will display the firmware content

- Green: Wipe options, you can choose to wipe certain things here

- Purple: Exclude options, this is to exclude content like kernel or baseband from flashing

- Orange: verification check, you don't need to edit this option

Are there any recomendations as to what to select in the Green/Purple/Orange sections?

[SlimRoms Q&A] danavon:
Hello

I recently installed my first rom - SlimBean 4.3.1 bulid 2.2

The rom works fine but after 1 week i noticed my battery start to drain very quickly.

I check with GSam Battery Monitor and i found out that *kernel* eat most of my battery.

I want to change the kernel.

which kernel will save my battery in a better way?

My current kernel is: 3.0.80+

Dan
[SlimRoms Q&A] monkeydogger:
Dan,

Can you give a little more information? Type of phone, which version of Android you upgraded from etc?

I can't say that I've encountered any battery drain issues with Slimbean in the past..... it's only ever helped things.

The only question I'd ask is did you follow the correct instructions when flashing? (deleting / formatting all of the cashes etc don't just do a factory reset). Your probably a very clever guy who did everything correctly - but it's the only thing I can think of.

I'd try re-flashing following the instructions on the slimbean website to the letter......

Hope this helps

[SlimRoms Q&A] Shonilchi:
So, does this mean, there is no option to use a custom kernel for Slimean 4.3 build 2.2? I am on i9300 on Slimean 4.3 build 2.2...
[SlimRoms Q&A] Twiq:
He didn't say that. He was asking Dan did he correctly followed the installation procedures or not, because issues sometimes caused from previous rom installations leftovers (not properly wiped).

And to your question, custom kernels is just a matter of individual preference. You may install any kernel as long as they are compatible with slimroms.

Although any issues caused by other kernel shouldn't be discussed in slim threads. But if you're using stock slim kernel and having problems then you may report to the devs, but make sure that problems aren't listed on the OP's Known Issues, and also provide feedback support files such as logcats or screenshots so the devs could identify the problems right away ?

Battery drainage issues

Hello,

I have recently installed SlimBean 4.2.2 on my Xperia S.

This is my first custom ROM and my previous OS was Stock 6.2.B.1.96.

Needless to say I've rooted my phone (using DoomLord's Technique), have CWM Recovery 6.0.3.0 and Unlocked the bootloader.

I had cleared data, cache, dalvik Cache before flashing the Slim-nozomi-4.2.2.build.8-OFFICIAL.zip and Slim_Gapps.4.2.2.build.8.zip

Issues:

Heavy battery drain - I left my device overnight with all radios off (Airplane mode) and the device registered a loss of 10% in battery level [ 2 Screenshots attached ]

The GSM network radios doesn't turn on when I change the Airplane Mode toggle in Notification Bar

Unrelated - How do I use the AIO_Addons.zip and AIO_Aroma.zip?

Unrelated - Does flashing a Custom ROM mean that Google Apps won't be updated via Play Store? ( Tried once - got invalid signature error )

Steps taken to remedy this (Beginner level):

Installed WakeLockDetector app to find what's up with the ROM. Turns out Google Search had maximum wakelocks [ Attached Screengrab ], despite me Greenifying the app.

I've greenified Google Search app and couple of other network accessing apps (like feedly, pocket, FalconPro (twitter client) )

Dear XDA-ers, kindly help me remediate this issue, as I truly like the ROM..but I'm sure such issues can be solved. Otherwise It wouldn't be the stable ROM that it is.

Please let me know if any other information would be helpful.

First post here, apologies if I may have offended anyone's sensibilities. :)

I was backing up my apps and messing with Xposed Framework when I suddenly realized at the bottom of Titanium list that "media" is there with a strike-through. I don't have any backups of it.

I remember seeing media under data usage, and it shows ~450B of background data usage, so it must have been there at some point. It looks like an android core app or service, and it's missing now. Does anyone know how to get it back or what file I'm missing? I even tried reloading a nandroid backup from a few days ago, and it's still missing there. Funny thing is I don't remember it missing before when I scrolled to the bottom of the Titanium list.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faruko:
2gb RAM or at least 1.5gb, a better processor, maybe The X8 chip... A better camera (8mpx), 4G

But if you ask me ill take the better CPU/GPU/RAM then a better camera or a 1080p screen so they can keep the $200 price tag, 720p its more than enough for smartphones as long as the screen has a good quality... 1080p its already way too much and nos LG wants a 2k screen lol
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mafiatounes:
To keep the cost of the device the same i would like to see a few minor improvements to the current G like 4G, 1.5 to 2gb ram, better camera megapixels don't matter.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AluKed:
My guesses:

RGB Led

8mp Camera

Either an older Snap 600/S4 Pro (think Nexus 7) or a new, yet unannounced Snap 400 with maybe a new low end GPU (Adreno 307, if you will)

1GB RAM, maybe faster DDR3L

8 and 16GB

Slightly bigger battery, maybe 2.2Ah

Tweaked 720p IPS display

Tweaked design - slightly thinner, slightly lighter

Expecting more than this is setting yourself up for disappointment, IMO.

If I were Moto, I'd keep the first gen G and X around, drop the G to $99 or $79, give the G2 LTE and put it starting at $179, drop the X to $279 and release the new X as a true flagship. You get all the price ranges covered with nice phones and, if kept with the same design and basic layout, without much need for retooling.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ixon2001:
4.5 or 4.7" 720p display no need to change this I think.

4G/LTE should be cheap enough to have on midrange phones in 2014

Better camera 8mp BIS Sony Sensor

1080p video, the current snapdragon 400 has 1080p support but wasn't implemented in the Moto G for some reason, maybe because the lack of space with the 8GB version.

New snapdragon processor maybe the 405 clocked at 1.5Ghz with better gpu.

2GB of ram will trickle down to midrange phones in 2014, as the top end smartphones move onto 3GB & 4GB.

Slimmer design.

Colour options.

RGB notification led.

8GB storage dropped in favor of both 16GB & 32GB, should be cheap enough in 2014.

If all the above was to be the case for the Moto G2 for next year, it probably be even bigger seller than the current Moto G is now.
