Dont waste time

Dont waste time in fixing this. I wasted a lot of time on this as well. I now use it as a tablet with Aviator Gummy ROM ( KitKat 4.4 ) installed on it. I have heard that telecom companies block your sim if you try to run it with a phone with bad/no imei. Havent tried it though. If you actually want to fix it, buy a broken xt912's board and replace it with yours. It will hardly cost around 20$-30$
[General Questions and Answers] zlebors:
thx for replying..

I'm using other gsm &cdma simcards instead of Verizon's sim card

if I replace the board with xt912 (not maxx version), would the board fit on the housing?

is there any differences between razr & razr maxx? other than battery.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] adam20115:
no it's not true, when you download the file it is pure_aosp_alpha
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dieselman6969:
They say sony will realease official update
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] adam20115:
I don't think that they are gonna update the Xperia S anymore. It's a shame as it's a good device, I hope they don't do the same and abandon my Z1 after 18 months like they did with this device. Hopefully tho they might update this but it's very unlikely
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
See the title 1st...

They said custom rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Abandon? You expecting lifetime of updates? They didn't abandon Xperia S. The current firmware is fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
Ofcourse,the current is f9.but there must be 4.3 or 4.4 update...but there is nothing.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] adam20115:
I dont mean abandon, i mean like they should try to update it for as long as possible as its still a good device, thats all i mean
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Why must there be? There are unofficial versions, just use those. Are you expecting Sony to keep every single phone they ever released up to date? There must be hundreds by now (okay that was a hyperbole, 48 according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Xperia), noone can keep up with that. If you must blame anyone or anything for the short while that phones are getting updates, blame Android because it's so hard to install on hardware (compared to more classic PC OS's like Windows and Ubuntu/Pick-Your-Favorite-Linux-Distro). Not even the Galaxy Nexus got an update to Android 4.4, and if there was one Nexus that was most like our Fuji-phones it was that one. So if our generation's Nexus isn't even getting any updates anymore, how do you expect a non-Nexus device to get that update.

Seriously, I don't like this either, so ever since KitKat I haven't run a stock ROM. Now you've learned that if stock updates are important to you, you should get a Nexus or a Google Play Edition device. Sony has been known not to be very good in providing long term updates ever since the Xperia X10 (their very first Android phone). And if you can't afford to get a new phone every 2 years (because that's how long it'll be relevant), you should stop being so sensitive about updates and be happy with what you have.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
I m using pure Aosp 4.4 right now.

And I m happy with it.

But see every nexus has offical cm support.they are also working on 4.4.

And here only billchane and rehman FX are working.thanks to them we have 4.4 build.suppose we don't have more support from them.than what we gonna do.then I will sell my sl..and surely buy nexus 5 or htc m7
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Best not buy a HTC, support isn't great there either. The One X(L) isn't going beyond Android 4.2. If this is important to you, there's only q Nexus, a Google Play Edition phone or maybe a Motorola Moto X but we still have to see how long Motorola is going to support phones now they're part of Google.

And indeed we wouldn't be much without Rayman or bilchen. But it's like this for the vast majority of Android devices.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dreezz:
I tried several KK-based roms for xperia S, but all gave me random reboots :(

had some on 4.3, but with 4.4 I have too many to be stable as dayly driver.

i guess they all use the same kernel (open semc), that could explain why the all have it?

but... why do some people claim to have no reboots, and others have em 'all the time'?

i'm now on nature rom (4.1) and no problems at all, it's a great rom, but i really like 4.4 as well.

will there be a stable kernel/version soon?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
Try Pure AOSP Kitkat rom! It's different build and I have no such problem with that
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dreezz:
but has same kernel?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
Different
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
That 1 has aops kernal.its own
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
First of all, the XS it's not just another phone sony launched, its a flagship device that only got two major updates (one actually cause ics should have been out of the box) so I at least expected 4.2 or 4. 3, even Galaxy s2 got them

second, the galaxy nexus didn't get 4.4 because of Texas instruments (supposedly) and as long as other oems continue to update it means it's possible and we have every right to complain about it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
You're absolutely correct that Galaxy Nexus lack of KitKat is due to Texas Instruments. Similar, Xperia S ain't getting 4.2 and above due to Qualcomm, not Sony.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
Ok then my mistake, but how would you then explain the galaxy s2 getting updates with a snapdragon s2?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
If I were you, I would have buried my head in the sand in shame. Firstly, you have totally lost your credibility. This simply shows you post without researching, twice. Shameful. Secondly, Galaxy S2 uses Samsung Exynos CPU. Don't try to make an assertion by fabrication facts. Makes you look ugly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
Thats I m thinking lte has s3.and have updates

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

Hey s2 variant has s3 chipset.and and running official custome roms 4.4.2

If sony wants they can use that sourse.

And I have also read that msm8660 has kernal 3.1 rc4.and kitkat is using 3.1 kernal.correct me if I m wrong.so sony could use this kernal source if they are ready to give an update.ok
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Though I agree with you in 95% of what you said, there are two things that I don't.

First, The Xperia S, even though having a year old CPU/GPU, it was high end during its launch. May not be the highest of the highs, it was a high end.

Second, the Xperia T was, for its time, Sony's flagship. Sony has been using, for now, a different way of marketing than other companies, using a 6 month flagship. That means, every 6 months, instead of 1 year, they have a new flagship.

A flagship is the device that represents the company. The main one. The best the company has to offer during its time (though Sony seems to not know that until Z1)...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
Probably in yr way u r right.but I paid 24000 rs for sl in India.and its very high for Indians.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] -PiLoT-:
i dont even know what the *****ing is in this thread. But to sum up

Unles qualcomm release the source for the chipset then Sony CAN'T update the phone to kitkat
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] montenell:
would be nice to see on my ion
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
Hell I just want 4.2 or 4.3
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xperiauser1221:
No difference whatsoever in 4.1.2 and 4.3

Just flash themes from 4.3 and ur good as new...

And even try nature xperia 3.1 it's a great rom... If trying kitkat paranoid beta 4is best now
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] warlok9000:
guys, qualcomm abandoned developing drivers for S3 chipset. it's ci=urrently on 4.1.2 and will FOREVER stay at this version. so would we already close this thread?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YuriBasescu:
There must be some other way to get 4.4 without paying morr moneys

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] c0ntagi0:
I'm replying to this using pureslim kitkat r1, its running stable , fast, and better than average battery life. If anyone wants kitkat badly, aosp / custom rom is the way to go. Get it or stay happy with Sony's stock. Sony's UI is still the best looking UI out there. Don't listen to what technology websites and blogs are saying, as they are out to push products that you don't really need.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skyend:
Why are you guys arguing about the updates anymore?! That aint gonna make sony miraculously drop off any major upgrade. As far as your woes with flagship devices go, yes Xperia S was a flagship device. Yes, I paid INR 32,000 for it and purchased on the day of the launch. Yes, it makes me sad that Jelly bean was delayed so much. Yes, it makes me sad that ICS was buggy as hell. But then the final JB upgrade is pretty solid imo for a device thats two years old now and I am happy with it. The custom roms aosp jb kk are always a bonus.

If you are gonna cry about updates then maybe you should have avoided buying a device with outdated cpu, because by the time you got your xperia s in hand, qualcomm already moved on with s4 series. Qualcomm aint gonna support their cpu forever just like every other company out there.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xperiauser1221:
I'm using xperia SL I paid 27500 inr for it...bought last year (Jan 2013)

Just close this thread now...

No one's gonna get an official kitkat update..

Sony is lazy and I realised it when they provided jelly bean after 1 yr of its release..

Hell it's not even available to xperia Z1

They are still using 4.3...

If anyone wants frequent updates buy a nexus device..

Snapdragon s3 chipset in our phones have no drivers for 4.4..

It's stuck... Here forever and now rayman has also left...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] De@n:
Rayman hasn't left :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sony XDA:
I use this ROM too and I must to agree with you. For me it is first ROM without problem with restarting launcher. Of course there are some bugs, but releasing new version could change it. So, if you want to have Andoid 4.4.2 try this ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] leonardoqm:
qualcomm not give drivers

guilt is the qualcomm that stopped making drivers for S3 processors for android 4.2 or higher.

[Hardware Hacking General] alexsqr:
Hey guys,

I have a broken Note. One day it just suddenly stopped working, I went ahead and looked for the problem. First of all there was an open ceramic cap which i have removed, however after removing it the phone doesn't still power on. The phone only draws 100 mA - 150 mA when the power button is held down. As soon as I release it, it goes back to 0. I have measured C633 and C655 and they fall within the spec of the service manual , however AP_PS_HOLD(TP) signal is a short pulse of 50 mV when pressing down the power button. According to the service manual it should be AP_PS_HOLD(TP) = 2.8V. Is that a short pulse or a constant voltage?

Fake T200? now there is a thing...chinese manufacturers faking chinese phones! Mind you Thl is very popular in china with apparently over 300 stores.

Got mine from Thl: www.thlmobilestore.com

I have also used Geekbuying (geekbuying.com) as well, never had a problem with what they have sold me, sites a bit inaccurate though (fake Antutu screen shots etc) but thats the norm for chinese sites in my experience, so you have to do your research.

The carrier(in Sweden) I have,use both 900Mhz and 2100Mhz I haven`t found any Thl T200 with 3GWCDMA 900/1900/2100MHz

The Zopo 990+ for Us $339.99 (This has 3G:WCDMA900/1900/2100MHz)

The Thl T200 for Us $304,99

Both at dhgate.

[Android General] StefanHamminga:
I got mine in today, been playing around a bit, very nice new toy, I'm impressed with the performance so far.

For those who are interested: It seems to have a form of CWM recovery mode, just keep volume-up pressed while switching the phone on. The power button works as a back button, the vol-up as the 'confirm' button and the vol-down scrolls the menu.

Options available are:

Reboot system now

apply update from ADB

apply update from sdcard

apply update from cache

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

backup user data

restore user data
[Android General] bazabaza:
yes found that. Got a bit confused on how it worked until i realised the + button selects.
