[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruinkhan:
Tried this trick last night. After 2 hours LED stopped blinking and became stable RED (no flashing). This is the first time in 1 month that LED stopped flashing, I was even able to Hold Power+Volume up button and it vibrated 3 times (nothing like that happened in the past). So it was a significant improvement from where I was 2 days ago. However, LED suddenly turned off and when I connected it to charger again it started to blink again. Buttons do not respond again.

Little info from the past:

I bricked my Z1 when I flashed .290 ROM. Left it on charge for 2 days nothing happened, flashtool would not recognize it and kept saying USB debugging off. Then I decided to open back cover and remove the battery so it could reset. That didnt resolve the issue and i just gave up.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meni30:
Video instruksion would be very helpfull maybe
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pheel:
Yes. But the computer simply recognised it as a normal "unknown" usb device with usb debugging disabled.

--

Exact same thing happened to me. "USB debugging off"
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
All I did was plug in the magnetic connector, then with the PC turned on and Pc companion running I plugged in the USB, it took about 20 minutes to recognise it but once it did, I unplugged it, left it on charge via the magnetic plug for around 5 hours and although the charging symbol never appeared it booted into recovery the normal way (I did that just to see what would happen) then restarted the phone via Cwm and it worked normally from then on.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruinkhan:
BY saying "Charging Symbol never appeared", do you mean LED was not red and turned off?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
The symbol that appears on the screen.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhavinpatel95:
I also kind of used this method.

I directly plugged in, in these steps.

1) Plug in magnetic charging dock with 1A charger (Plugged USB into charger)

2) Plug in USB with 2.1A charger (Plugged USB into charger)

Dim-ish red light popped up and the phone began booting.

Plugging into the phone for me wasn't as effective as plugging into the charger as I left it for a while and nothing happened but upon plugging USB into my single dual port charger this method worked to get my phone onto the charging screen, Android L

Had to plug the USB in and out a few times, not too many times, but eventually it booted up to the charging screen.

Be patient is the key I suppose?

For me worked with magnetic and usb 1A charger! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GreeKNastY:
My gnex is starting to piss me off. Kit kat wont run worth a crap(tried 4 roms and kernels) 4.3.is stable...for the first month or so. so ive decided im going back to the basics and would like to try a 4.2.2 that is ran perfect. any recomendations?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
Oh my god, why won't "ROM recommendation" threads stop? This must've been the 10th thread of its kind in this month... (although it's about 4.2.2 not 4.4.2, lol)

Experiment yourself, everyone has different use cases and even the same ROM behave differently. For example, I always stick to official CM nightlies no matter the Android version, but people keep saying they lack features / lag / eat battery, etc. while I never felt that way. It's really up to you to decide. Good luck with whatever 4.2.2 ROM out there :)

Sent from Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE @ CM11
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GreeKNastY:
yeah thats why i made the thread. i had no issues with figuring out a 4.4.2 rom to try since they are talked about and updated almost daily but since 4.2.2 is so "old" i really didnt know where to begin looking. FAQ had list of roms but i dont think they have been updated so thats the main reason why i created this thread
[Galaxy Note II General] gideonMorrison:
So back when I still had my Canon T2i I had a viewfinder which magnified the 3" display 2.8x. . In the ad it mentioned the cinematic experience and strangely enough it wasn't a lie. It looked amazing. However, because of the low amount of pixels it was quite easy to count them.

Now, I think the Note 2 has a lot of potentional to also be turned into a cinema beast, for watching movies for example. The cool thing about the viewfinder was that from the inside it even looked like a theater, due to the shape and a soft material which contributed to the overall feel. Pretty cool. This thread is mainly meant for creative ideas, since there aren't any 5'5" double eyed viewfinders out there. So join in, see who else is interested.
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Would be amazing if this could materialize. Keeping track of this thread.
[Galaxy Note II General] gideonMorrison:
:good: So I did find a (rare) dual viewfinder, for the Canon 5D3 etc, which is suitable for 3.2" screens. This pic is for reference and perhaps an idea. The issue with finding the right magnification has to do with the focal length/point, size of the magnifier and the piece that would connect to the screen.

Hello all i have a problem i had to use sus to get my phone out of a boot loop on 4.2 but when i updated my phone it put me on 4.3 is they a root method that works on this.Build number .569 xperia zl c6506

Here is the link on the only way to get a 4.3 rooted phone if you have a locked bootloader.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2567266

Which ROM were you running? The generic Sony 4.2.2 or the one from your carrier.

I just checked my phone against SUS and PC Companion and they are both telling me that my 67 build is the latest firmware. 4.3 still hasn't been pushed for the C6506.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
Hey guys so the title says It all really, over night I can lose up to 10% which isn't normal I know

If I charge my phone up and use it straight I'll get about 5.5 hours out of It ( screen on time ) but if I don't use it to intensively it'll be about 4.5 which doesn't make sense

Sometimes when I reboot the device it goes down by a few percent as well, anybody had this issue?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hassanmahmood:
Are you using STAMINA mode?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
That's strange. Do you have a lot of IM apps and widgets/apps that updates in the background? As you probably know by now, you shouldn't see more than 1-2% drop in battery in 7-8 hours if you don't touch it. I'm on GPe now that doesn't have the fancy battery saving features, and i'm getting very good battery life. It's currently at 70% after 10 hours on and 2 h 30 min screentime.

It's probably something that's going rouge in the background, but check your apps that updates automatically.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ps000000:
Same as me

I lose up to 15% overnight

I have Line / Weather widget / Twitter / Facebook / and more

I did not turn on Stamina mode
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hassanmahmood:
Turn it on and watch the miracles ensue.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Benjiro:
Nowp. Got Stamina mode on, with only 2 exceptions: email + weChat, and also see a 10% drop each night.

I assume the problem is that Wifi or Data connection do not get disabled in stamina mode. You expect them to be disabled, until a request comes from the programs for a "poll event", reactivated, task finished, and then disabled again. But from what i can tell, the connections stay live.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jaime4272:
Have you try juice defender. I use it better then stamina. I only have home page and none live wall paper and I only get 1 to 1.1/2% loss all night from 100% to 99 or 98 in the morning
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I have noticed this once or twice before, last culprit was google keyboard :confused: in about 8h overnight it was almost always awake (about 50%), almost 2h of cpu time, used near 400meg of data - this was in SlimRom
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
Last night I had 81% battery before I went to sleep at 10:00. I then put my Xperia Z Ultra in Stamina mode. At 6:05 (8 hours 5 minutes) after my battery dropped to 80%

Therefore I only lost 1% overnight which is excellent.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] neverborn:
Damn. Thought i was getting decent battery life (currently at 1d 6h on, 5h 25m screentime), but the way you're going you might reach 7 hours screentime on one charge...

And the cp12 isn't currently available where I'm at. Bummer.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
Yes :/

That's really good, I'm on 70% with stamina mode on and 1.5hour screen on time

I'm thinking maybe my battery needs calibrating using an app? It shouldn't drop that much and it shouldn't drop a few percent by turning it on and off
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
Those battery calibration apps are a complete farce IMHO, modern batteries don't have their own internal memory like the old ones did, the best calibration you can do is a full recycle.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Benjiro:
Yep. Also had a out of sync battery. Fully loaded ( green light ), it still showed 97% on the meter. So i drained the battery down to 1%, charged up to 100%, and voila ... Battery indicated correctly 100%, and has been correct every time.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
just a reminder that the LED turns green at ~90% not fully charged
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brashmadcap:
If you are in an area with very poor cellular reception and your cellular radios are on this can happen. It would help if you would post some screenshots of your battery usage in different scenarios; otherwise we can't help you too much

You could have a transistor leaking current or a short somewhere inside the device. Try a factory reset if you've exhausted all other options and if it persists contact Sony.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bigdaddytrayn:
I thought my phone was bricked, but it turned out not to be the case. I am unlocked, rooted, and running 4.4.2 ROM. I bought an optimus g pro and transfered a large amount of data to my microsd. After I took the card out I let the lgog sit for a while. I then checked it to see that it had dropped to 2% battery. I set it to charge. When I checked it later it hadn't charged and appeared to be unresponsive. It wouldn't charge or boot up. After scouring the internet I managed to get it to respond. Right now it is powered on but there is no backlight.

By the way, no water or any other sort of damage.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Get on GPE 4.42 already ;)

If you love the Sony UI, you can xposed theme it. Most of the Sony apps also work on GPE if you sideload it.

GPE is literally the future of the device for KK 4.42 and beyond...embrace it :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brashmadcap:
no.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
So far performance has been horrible so I have to agree. I like the Sony stock rom much more, but no big deal, I will just keep the one I am using and customize it with xposed etc
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] liqn7:
How is performance terrible?

Its kit Kat 4.42 and it runs like a dream. Definitely faster than 4.3. Did you full wipe before flashing?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Accidentally hit the thanks button :p

Also, say whaaat? Horrible performance? It performs like nothing else. Not sure if you base your facts on the benchmark thread or if you've done a very dirty flash, but it's the fastest sucker in town. It's also incredible light on resources since it's KK.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
You dont use Barney to quote me...that is Legen.....wait for it.... :laugh:

How is it faster exactly since I have no log whatsover with stock 4.3? What do you notice that makes it better in your tests?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] liqn7:
General ui fluidity, decreased ram usage and better battery life are my main improvements.

Then there's all the features of Kk over 4.3

If you love the Sony ui so much there's a theme for it on xposed. Most of the Sony apps can also be downloaded from the market or sideloaded with the Apk.

Best of all its entirely bug free. Not a single random reboot or freeze since installation.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Can you get small apps working too?

Has anyone tested Dreamcast emulator..I would like to know if it has the same issue as with 4.3
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] techpal:
Which xposed theme you are talking about? Please share link. Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Jumping in here quite unnoticed.

I noticed that the rom or device seems to get tired at the end of the day.. kind of getting laggy and slower and slower. Even now my device stopped scrolling for a sec at your barney picture.

It's not near as quick and responsive as the CM roms (have not tried cm kk rom)

I don't care about benchmarks since like year 2011.. Its just a bunch of numbers.

I never reboot but I think I need too do this more often, just like back in the days with my Desire.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Not seeing this kind of behavior here. Are you sure you don't have an app that's leaking RAM?

[Moto X Q&A] Se7enLC:
Has anyone else had trouble getting the Moto X to automatically connect to Car Bluetooth?

My previous phone (Galaxy Nexus) worked fine, and so did my tablet (Nexus 7) when I tested it. The Moto X only connects if I toggle bluetooth off and back on again or if I select CAR MULTIMEDIA from the Bluetooth device list (I have a Subaru Outback). Other phones always connected automatically as soon as I turned the car on.

Does anyone have a fix or a workaround?
[Moto X Q&A] jasoraso:
Mine is autoconnecting to my Kenwood HU.

Maybe try deleting all previous pairings on BT unit, and then re-pair the Moto X?

As a workaround, you could get an NFC tag and stick it on the dash or somewhere, and program it so when you tap the phone against it, it forces the BT connection.
[Moto X Q&A] Se7enLC:
I did a full reset of the car stereo settings, and I've removed and re-added a number of times. I had been trying to figure out the Trusted Device thing and I only later realized that it only comes up if you have a screen lock other than "slide".

NFC could work, but that's not much easier than just toggling bluetooth. My goal is to have my phone connect even if I don't take it out of my pocket like my old phone did.

I don't know if the issue is specific to Subaru and Moto X or not. My Galaxy Nexus was running 4.4 and worked fine, but I think Moto and AOSP use different Bluetooth.

EDIT: I just tried poking through the options in the car again. It has a setting where you can pick if the connection is initiated by the car or the device, and I switched it. So far it seems to be working!
[Moto X Q&A] Se7enLC:
As it turns out, it *DOESN'T* work. It was a fluke that it appeared to work.

It doesn't matter if it's set to be Car or Device initiated, it does not automatically connect. If I toggle bluetooth or manually initiate a connection from the device end, it will connect and work just fine, however.

Any ideas? Anyone else have a similar experience with the Moto X?
