Hello,

Just to say that this solution did not work for me (I renamed the file instead of deleting it). I still get the "Android is upgrading" message at each reboot on ART, with 21 apps being optimized.

I have not tried to change the permissions as suggested before as I'm not in favor of it (I assume they are set as they are for a reason)...

Any suggestions? I really prefer ART as the phone is much smoother and snappier, but any reboot takes a number of minutes.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Levered:
I get many free ram on cm11 but sometime so lagging/freeze..

btw, i hope OP will fixed this problem

Using ART make more smoothier than dalvik...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Gamm86:
I was on FXP for a long time (6-7 different builds) and I had this, what I like to call "bug", every time aswell.

Very annoying indeed and it's a shame it still hasn't been resolved. Vanir ROM had/(has) the same issue when running ART.

I'm sorry to say I didn't find a solution back then and now I've switched over to a different ROM.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] MrSteve555:
Hmm, renaming sometimes doesn't fix the issue. Try deleting the file instead of renaming.

Btw, I tested the solution only on LBL. KitKat ROMs.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] joaste:
Thanks for the feedback. I tried and it didn't work. The fact that you were on a LBL probably makes a big difference.

Hope a solution is found soon...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] MrSteve555:
The difference between LBL and UBL CM isn't so big and I'm surprised that it didn't work. Hopefully someone finds a solution for UBL too ;)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] codfx:
what about the battery life?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Rycon33:
^^Deleting the jar file worked on my own self-compiled PA last time(unlocked bootloader) before I sent my unit to service center. Didn't get the chance to try on CM though at that time.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] rafus:
I am on UBL CM and deleting the jar file fixed the 'android is updating' bug on art.This is the latest nightly build. 20140820 you must have done smth wrong.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] elaff:
Yes, moved file to system instead removing and all working fine, no updating on reboot
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TechnoSparks:
And I thought I am the only one. I really can't wait to see CM for XSP as stable one day.

Sony has quite of useful features however they love to have some heavy load of craps (fb extension and stuffs). Those which are useful for me only includes walkman and smartconnect. Others? No.

sorry for off topic

It differs from each person. Try it yourself and see for yourself.

For me, while having quite a lot of apps, the battery does not drain so much. I can notice it is a bit quicker the juice goes away but it really isnt quite bad. I can heavily use my phone for about 4 to 5 minutes and it claims 1% of the juice. Lately I notice that I can now charge my phone for 2 hours (unlike last month nightlies, but i am not so sure).

Not a fan of ART since Xposed does not work well with it. So my runtime is Dalvik.

humm....not good
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TechnoSparks:
I was just about to download the rom however it seems you have deleted it :( Would you upload it again? I am currently feeling like wanting the fix to happen..

Or any other person here who still has the file?

Hello all..I am facing a weird problem of my sandisk 64gb class 10 card. Suddenly I cant copy anything on it. Its in exfat format. I have tried to format it using card reader but couldnt. Even I tried to format it by phone. But not working.

I can access it but cant delete anything or format.

Plz someone help as I have no warranty as purchased from other country.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amPOGIko:
hi! try sending an email to sandisk. i faced the same issue before and when i sent them an email, they had me mail them the sd card and they sent me a new one. the only thing you need to pay for is the shipping in sending them your faulty card. they're going to shoulder the shipping in sending you a new one. haven't really found a way to resolve the issue, though, but i hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberboob:
as amPOGlko said... try returning it. There's a lot of sites saying the same thing... sandisk and samsung phones not working well together. Who knows?

If they don't send you a new one, then maybe you can try Samsung or Toshiba SDcard instead. Good luck!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emrekullakci:
I am in the exact same situation, contacted sandisk and they said that a small percentage of 64gb sdxc cards suffer from this issue. They also can change the faulty one but I lost my confidence in this brand, because forums are full of problems related to sandisk 64gb used in Note series.

Hi everybosy

i'm new from sonyericsson, so have so many question and its appreciated if anyone answer me :)

1- witch customized kernel (( all the things works and without lag )) for CSC: N9005OJVDMJ4 and AP : N9005XXUDMJ7 (( i don't know what is ap and csc , just searched on kernel sessions and found out some kernel are working on N9000..... AP or CSC ... ))

2- is there any apk the manage cpu cores when the display is off ? when i has xperia play , i remember that was an apk to manage cpu sleep ...

i want to increase my battery life .

3- i root my n9005 LTE by "de la vega" , how can i make sure mu knox counter is still 0x0

4- what happening if i remove all knox pks (( knox 1 , 2 " update" , agent ...))

5 - now i'm rooting , i think i can't update next month to 4.4 via OTA ? is n't it ?

6- if i flash the original firmeware that downloaded before from sammobile , everythings will back to the first day ? can i use ota update ? will my knox rested to 0x ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
1: Not supposed to ask whats the best to use (edit it quick :p) mod will shut it down otherwise. I personally use CivZ but it's best to try for yourself to find the best for you.

2: If you use a custom kernel you can use Kernel Tuner, or Trickster Mod to set CPU values

3: You cannot use a custom kernel and keep KNOX 0x0 - Once you install a recovery you lose KNOX

4: Removing KNOX = 0x1 = you lose warranty and cannot use KNOX properly if you wish to do so

5: You can update yes, either flash back to Stock and update, or flash the updated ROM manually

6: Nope, your KNOX stays 0x1 forever currently as there is no known fix. - OTA will work again so long as you revert to full stock.

Read around the forum, you need to read up on KNOX and REACTIVATION lock etc, make sure you read properly or you WILL end up with an expensive Samsung paper weight.

Good luck

CyanogenMod 10.2 for Xperia SP
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] agileart:
CM10.1 is my daily driver now because it's stability and fast, and we will waiting FXP Team build CM 10.2 using JB 4.3 Official. This gonna be a perfect rom, i think..
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] danielhariri:
hey FXP is 307 cm10.2 is based on official 4.3? (i mean it should be more stable right?)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] agileart:

That will probably change things round here in the couple of days.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] geek85:
can't wait for the next update!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] geek85:
I flash this ROM and I had to go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu to activate LTE/4G. there is no menu to choose "4G preferred" in the standard network menu.

(EU phone)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pec0ra:
Choose LTE/gsm. LTE will be the highest priority anyway.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] geek85:
yes, but why there isn't any menu like in other ROM to put this?

why have I to go to the hidden menu at each reboot?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Ungewiss:
You don't. Just read pec0ra post again ;)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pec0ra:
That's probably CyanogenMod's choice.

And it's possible that your selection doesn't stay after reboot but there's no other option...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] geek85:
I just try With LTE/GSM auto and it stay after reboot.

I chose LTE/CDMA/GSM before, and I had to change after each reboot.

Thanks.

[MENTION=5546831]Ungewiss[/MENTION] thanks to you to insist on this post, I would not see the difference instead.

FYI : CM 11 has this option in the network section, so it's CM 10.2 specific.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] lozohcum:
I'm considering buying that device, can you tell me if CM10.2 is fully working? On my current device CM made by FXP has some unfixed bugs that FXP didn't want to fix (like one colour illumination bar led)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] joke19:
Cm11 work very nice or better liquid smooth. Best rom every on my sp and I have my phone now 6 month.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgmanjayce:
Until recently, my i9595 Galaxy S4 was able to view my Class 10 Sandisk 64GB MicroSD fine including apps on my current ROM which is EchoeROM without any problem, but now I'm having a problem in that the ROM stops viewing the MicroSD card after a few hours,

What happened was that the MicroSD somehow got stuck one day while I was taking it out with the phone switched off so I could copy data on it to my laptop and I had to use a needle to get the microSD out.

As far as I know, doing something like that shouldn't have affected it and I've tried formatting the card (after backing up the data) to see if that fixes the problem and I don't know if it's just the more recent versions of EchoeROM that's not recognising it after a few hours (I currently have over 400 apps downloaded) or if it's something else that's causing the problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smep:
Nothing wrong with your sd card , maybe you damaged the sd adapter while using the needle.

To be sure ...use aroma file manager in philz recovery and check if its functional or no

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgmanjayce:
I'll try that although I'm curious as to what option I need to check that everything's okay with the card as well as find out if the SD adapter is OK.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

As you said you already formatted and it didn't do the work, then I believe it's not a problem with the sdcard, but which partition type did you select? This might have been a problem.

Also, try flashing another ROM to see if it can see your sdcard. Maybe it's like you said, an issue in the latest versions of EchoeROM.

Another thing you can try is using another sdcard.

If none of above works, it can be the case you damaged your sdcard reader, then you'll need to take it to a repair center.

Hi. My phone went thru the washer. It was soaking wet and my wife booted it to be sure it worked... which it did then. I took it from her, took the battery out, dried it well, put it in rice for 2 days. Now it doesnt boot up, nothing shows on screen, pluged in, etc. Is it repairable? is it garbage? is it parts? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
Most likely the damage was done when she booted it while wet. Probably has board damage, and repairing it would be more expensive than buying a new phone. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
thanks

I have insurance, new phone will be here tomorrow. Hopefully my SD card is fine, i had a lot set up I hate to have to re do it all. :) I was hoping it wasnt this bad, but it seems it is. Another night in rice, still no response. I found a site that claims 69$ repairs.. I might send it to them to see if it can be fixed that cheap, I could let the kids use it for a tablet. lol. Anyway, thanks for the response.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
Voltage is only applied to the card when reading and writing to it, so it's likely your SD card is fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TonikJDK:
SD card will be fine. I have washed lots of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] maxjivi05:
You need to take the phone apart and take a toothbrush and electronic cleaner the liquid and scrub every electronic part in the phone. The corrosion from water shorts it out and needs cleaned! I used to fix water damaged phones for a living.

$5 in repairs and knowledge to fix future phones. You'll be surprised on how many phones are fixable when soaked.

+1 Battery, many of these reasons are why I use my S2 more than my OneX.
[General Topics] Antaires:
Hi, I've just upgraded from an S2 to an S4 mini. Had the extra power battery pack in the S2 and rooted, absolute dream phone. Actually the only reason I'm upgrading, is that I had call quality issues. It's a bit depressing watching the battery tick on my new phone. Actually side-by-side the S2 looks more impressive with its extra screen width. I think the S2 is definitely a Hall of Famer. Actually my friend has also got a one X, and the lack of battery power drives him nuts.

In WM5 the WiFi (Wireless LAN) gets disabled when I close the screen (turn it black). I want it to be enabled all the time. How is that possible?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bigblk150:
Me too...

I just recently purchased a Cingular 8125, and I am having the same problem as gein. Does anyone know how to keep the WiFi radio on when the "PDA" goes off? The Bluetooth and GPRS radios already do this (obviously), but I would like the WiFi radio to do this as well.

Registry Hack? Anything? Please?

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Genesis3:
No you don't.

Your battery would be dead inside of a couple of hours... Wifi is a HUGE power pig.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bigblk150:
I'm aware of the power requirements for WiFi, but I still need the radio to stay on for extended times throughout the day. I have already tried modifying the settings in the "Power" applet, but turning off power save in battery mode additionally leaves the display on as well (not the backlight, but the LCD).

If anyone has any information, it would be appreciated.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnkhanh:
Hi everyone, as the title says, I'm thinking of upgrading. But people says SP has a lot of hardware problems.

Further more, do you guys think the upgrade from Xperia V worth it? Aside from the SP's horsepower, which is obviously better, how bout the camera, battery, build quality,..?

Thanks in advance and if possible, please tell me some problems SP usually have so that I can check for it carefully when I buy the phone :good:

p/s: SP is the only one in my price range so please don't suggest any other :D
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madhukarmohan:
nooooo

hey, SP has its own standard. But, when u r upgrading from V, it wont sound good. V has better camera, IP 57 certified, better PPI, approx almost same processor (V: Dual1.5G; SP: Dual1.7G), same chipset, same RAM, same data rates. SP have a better GPU and battery.SP has bad viewing angles, comparitively bad camera than V. Put some extra bucks and try for Nexus 5. If you prefer only SONY made product, Xperia ZR will be a better option than SP. Nexus 5 and ZR both comes under almost same price bracket. So, decide..:good::)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnkhanh:
Thanks but water proof is not much use for me. And SP's chipset is wayyy better which is a big advantage over V in my opinion. Bigger batery as well.

In my country Nexus 5 and ZR are a bit overpriced so they wont be an option for me :( More over, I'm a Sony fan :D
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiidbzxt:
I would personally wait a little more for Xperia 2014 mid range phone. Xperia V is still a good device, and it will have 4.3. SP is a little more powerful and has a slightly better battery, but Sony won't support it past 4.4. If you can find ZL for cheap where you live, that would be a good option too. Xperia SP's hardware isn't better than your V, screen is worse, the power button tends to break (I already got my SP swapped twice because the power button broke), Wi-Fi reception is very bad, borderline useless. Also, V's camera is much better for sure.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dSERiES:
Xperia SP is way better than V imo. Bigger screen, better battery, LED strip. Camera is quite good too (way better than Nexus 4). Hardware is also better (same GPU as Nexus 4, which is very powerful: Adreno 320).

If SP is not a big improvement for you, and you're a Sony fan, I would upgrade to Xperia Z, they are not much more expensivce than SPs. Official CM10.2 is there and CM11 is quite useable for that phone. I'm planning to switch soon.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User013:
I had Arc S then i bought Xperia sp and it was big improvement for me but you have dual core phone with 1GB of ram it's not that bad. Like wiidbzxt said wait a little more Sony will probably release some new mid range phone in 2014. Maybe some phone from Z series would be better also over time price will go down.

Stick with your Xperia V and wait few months, that is my opinion :P.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raziel123:
This is incorrect, the SP has a MSM 8960 Pro Krait Chipset with 1.7 Ghz Dual core plus Adreno 320

The V has 8960 1.5 Ghz Adreno 225
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4529355:
It's 2014, avoid the SP. It was a good phone, but little to no updates makes the hardware useless. I'm selling mine this month. I got tired of trying roms.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliiahmed.20:
Seriously DUDE ?????????|

you are giving Up water proof and 13 MP camera for such a little upgrade ??

just dont man if i had the Xperia V in my country i would have bought it instead of the Xperia SP if you really want to upgrade then wait and collect more money to get an LG G2 or Nexus 5 or HTC one

Dude can you please give me a link to official CM 10.2 and if its just a download link tell me how to flash and what are the bugs and where to get the GAPPS and stuff like that ?

Thanks in advance
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madhukarmohan:
plz read it correctly..

Hi.. :) I hv not told they have same features. I have used the words (approx almost same as) which matches them closely but not equally where SP wins closely.. Kindly look into it.. :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamer R:
I would suggest that you wait for more devices to get released and save enough money for a decent upgrade. There ain't much difference between Xperia V and SP. Also , Xperia SP will soon get discontinued. Sony on the other hand supports a device for 18 Months only after the release date. So Android 4.4 might be THE LAST software update for the phone(SP). Newer phones will be released with atleast Android 4.3 pre installed so that you could enjoy newer updates for the next 18 months. If you want to buy a phone in the coming days (urgently) then get atleast Xperia ZR or Xperia Z. Both the phones are future proof. Or better wait and save enough for Xperia Z1 Compact :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnkhanh:
Thanks guys,

The problem with Sony phones is, when they've just been released, the price is quite high and then drop about half in 1 year (that's in my country). Me on the other hand is still a student saving money for a newer phone :D so my options are quite narrow and I have to consider 6 months - 1year old phones.

And I play games on my phone quite often so I really want the GPU update from Adreno 225 :D

But seems like you guys save my day anyway, I think I'm gonna save a little more for ZR or ZL maybe, or another 2014 midrange :D
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamer R:
[MENTION=4784823]cnkhanh[/MENTION]

I can understand that feeling. I myself am a student saving enough money for the next decent upgrade (maybe after 2-3years).

February onwards you'll see alot of devices popping up in the market.

But if you want to buy it urgently, then go for Xperia ZR. There ain't much price difference between SP and ZR. It costs 70 - 80$ more than SP. But it is worth it.

You do get a waterproof , dustproof and shatterproof smartphone with a 13meg camera capable of underwater photography along with 1.5GHZ Quad krait processor . Basically the same features of Xperia Z without the back glass panel and THE BATTERY IS REMOVABLE. And because of its 720p display it performs better than Xperia Z. Also Android 4.3 is available for Xperia ZR.
