[Sony Xperia L] francoism:
hi,

I've been looking around the forum and couldn't find a solution for my problem

I bought a Xperia L for my child and based on my experienced with my Nexus 4 I wanted to install a custom Rom.

the phone is free sim. I 'm allowed to free bootloacker it.

After enabling USB debbugging ON and installing the drivers with flashtool (vers 9.13 on win 7 64bit) I managed to boot in flash mode and unlock the bootloader via flashtool (thanks to the key provided by Sony) .

the phone rebooted with the Sony logo and those coloured lights.AND USB debbuging OFF !!!!

I've tried to flash a original sony ftf (in put into the firmware C2105_15.0.A.2.17_CE or C2105_15.3.A.1.14_CE file in flashtool) but no luck. it tells me that is preparing the files and then reboot into "device" (usual reboot)

After removing the battery I've rebooted in fastboot and somehow managed to flash the custom Rom (.img) from Phantom (I can see his logo when I turn the phone on). but that's it.

I'm somehow suspecting the USB debbuging OFF creating me issues and the SD card being blank to not help either.

I've installed the PC companion lately but it does not recognized it either...

I'm quite a newby and my goals are 1st to have it working again then to root it in order to install a custom ROM.

Any help or suggestion is welcome
[Sony Xperia L] Redzo:
Try removing battery for 2-3 minutes and se if that can get it to boot or at least get to recovery.
[Sony Xperia L] francoism:
I'm in recovery mode now.

I'll look in the forum for a modus opererando from that point but again any additional suggestion/help is welcome
[Sony Xperia L] francoism:
ok.

I'm in the recovery mode v5.0.3.5 by TZ (guess is the phanton owner)

My SD card is formated and I've copied the phanton.zip file. tried to install... no luck. also copied the sony factory file and still no luck.

the menu gives me different options but not sure what to do. will still look in the forum but no luck so far....

I have not rooted the device (and do not know what to do), still cannot flash the factory rom with flashtool (as described above) ...

Any help on where to start from the recovery mode?
[Sony Xperia L] kazabubu:
Welcome to XL world!

I think that you are a little bit confused!Relax...

First of all...,ftf is stock rom and .img is kernel.

So,first u have to unlock the bootloader and then u have to flash stock rom again otherwise u'll get into bootloop.Then u have to flash a custom kernel with CWM (which u can find in Development sector or in Original Development sector) and then flash a custom ROM via CWM from Development sector...

Hope I helped...
[Sony Xperia L] francoism:
thanks Kazabubu, I understand the steps you described and :

1) I have successfully unlock the bootloader

2) TRIED to flash the stock rom (ftf) (using flashtool, in flash mode ) but the phone was staying in "Preparing files for flashing" and then disconnecting

3) I think I managed to flash a custom kernel ( phanton) in fastboot mode

4) reboot in recovery mode

5) tried unsuccessfully to install a ROM (stock or custom) under recovery mode.

NOW... extremely strangely I left my phone connected to my PC and went to buy some stuffs... When I came back flashtool had flashed the stock rom... and it's working again.... do not ask me how... I have no idea.

I''ll leave it like that and will "only" try to root it as it is.

I'll close the thread and again thanks for you help guys!
[Sony Xperia L] varunpilankar:
Just flash a custom kernel first then boot into CWM and then flash a SuperSU.zip from the recovery.. It will directly root your phone..

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyszz:
Dear all XDA user,

as per title, which ROM could I install into my Galaxy S for best battery life?

Actually I'm running the Mackay K.K. but it drains me a lot of battery and has given me some problems.

Had taked a look around and found Simplicity but it seems an abandoned project.

Which rom could I try? I would not recharge for at least one day..

Thanks :good:

FOUND MY ANSWER.. can be taken down..

How do you know now which Roms are going to mess up your rooting and apps.

I heard about the KNOX thing and am really worried i could mess up my phone.

I really have fun with changing Roms and trying new things. I would hate to ruin anything..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoronaDelux:
Not sure what's happening with my phone, but after removing the plug on my fully charged phone, I will let my phone sit idle for about 10 mins, when I go wake the screen, I see that I've already lost 3% of battery capacity.

The weird part is after this initial 3% is gone, my battery will drain normally. Does this mean I need to calibrate my battery? Is there anyway to do this without damaging it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
It means you need to get a new hobby... seriously, why do you care if it changes nothing what so ever. In order to fix this, you should try not checking your battery percentage every 2 minutes. On the upside, this will probably give you another half hour of battery life as well.(damn a change of attitude would fix like 90% of problems on this site)

On a more serious note, it's likely just because your phone doesn't keep charging when it hits full charge, it stops charging in order to not kill your battery, and lets it drain to like 90% at which point it will charge back up to 100%, so it may be at any point in between when you disconnect it. Even if it is truly at 100% when you disconnect the charger, the measurements may not be completely accurate when approaching 100%, so it is likely, that could make it drop faster at first. You need to do nothing in order to fix this, seriously don't mess with it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:
Are you running stock or custom kernel and any custom ROM? Ive noticed this sometimes too but that's because the phone, when unplugged is running services to start phone on battery power versus the cord/wall charger. Check logcats to see what happens when phone unplugged to see what may be happening when phone starts on battery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
I think you are worrying about it a little too much. It could be searching for service (which drains a lot of battery), starting services as someone previously said, heat is horrible for a battery, anything. If the drain is normal after that who knows it could be the ROM you are on, battery percentage not being reported correctly.

Not worth an RMA by any means. Reset battery stats in recovery and see how that works out for you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterRich:
Bear in mind, these batteries are cell batteries, a user who plugs their phone in every time the battery hits 50%, is going to notice over a period of time the time it takes to go from 100% to 50% is shorter and shorter, and suddenly, 49%-0 holds a better charge. If you're constantly charging your phone, you'll wear those cells of your battery down. This is where the "hoax" of always letting your battery drain to 0% when you get it to "maximize" battery potential came from.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrj54:
I can't get my Moto G (4.4.2 and XT1034) to bluetooth pair with my Nexus 7 tablet (2012 version and 4.4.2). The tablet will pair with my other cell phone (its running 4.1). Also, the Moto G will pair with my car. So BT works on both devices. When I try and pair both devices say they see no other devices.

Any ideas?

On MemMaid / Running Processess, which one to close and which one to not.

Let me know as I really don't know which ones to shut down

:roll:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hanmin:
Confused. Why are you trying to close processes? To optimize performance?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] scoundrel:
Yes, for faster optimization.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] vijay555:
scoundrel: the better strategy, for optimisation, is to first find out why those apps are opening. Check your startup folder, services etc, notifications, and remove apps that shouldn't be necessary.

Killing them is not a good form of optimisation, you will waste memory from dead apps etc.

[General Questions and Answers] sourish:
this problem started when i have rooted my device, n reflashed stock rom

i have tried

-> reconfigure my wifi router completely (works for my tab but not my phone)

dnt have any mac filters but FAILED

-> tried both dynamic, static ip FAILED

-> downloaded apps such as "wifi fix" FAILED

any help is highly appreciated
[General Questions and Answers] DMJoh:
Usually this problem happens due to the problems at the router side. But it is evident that's not the case as another device can access the connection.

Try flashing the stock OS again.

try for a different router.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] koala990:
After using CM11 builds for our mini, I'd like to know why the camera is so much colorless?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
Be happy that camera works. It's sort of a bug, but it's not a simple one. For solution you can use Camera Zoom FX and set the saturation to max and you have a perfect camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Venkatesh:
Thank you...it looks colorful if i set saturation to 100%. But sadly, it is not working with camera zoom fx(no change, reverts to default values after closing app)... cameringo app is good....time for psyke83 here.. [MENTION=3877378]psyke83[/MENTION], can you look into this(setting saturation to 100% makes camera colorful)?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Venkatesh:
Can you tell me your camera zoom fx configuration? because setting saturation to max changes nothing, but it is working good in cameringo app though.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] psyke83:
Please capture a logcat after taking a picture with the saturation increased (whatever app works) and upload for me to see.

From: QualcommCameraHardware.h

#define CAMERA_MIN_SATURATION 0
#define CAMERA_MAX_SATURATION 4
#define CAMERA_DEF_SATURATION 2

Tweaking these may help, but I need to see a log first.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
All I changed is to render edited shots in full resolution and then I take a picture and edit it to max the saturation. Since I have to do this with every picture, it's a half solution, but I take 1 picture/week so it's not that big of a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Venkatesh:
Attached log is from mobile app and this is from adb logcat
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] psyke83:
The log is appreciated, thanks. If that was taken after increasing the saturation in a camera app, then the app must have been using a post-processing filter, because the saturation setting in libcamera remained unchanged (at 2, the default). I'll do some more checking. The later build by mnemonyc has my change that sets saturation to 3 by default... maybe it will look a bit better than before.

I can't test this directly, because my camera is 2mp and saturation is not supported.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Venkatesh:
Thank you sir....Attached log is after taking a pic.

yes, i have set saturation to 100%, remaining things like brightness,exposure,contrast,temperature,all set to default(0%)...and took a pic, the pics are also good compared to stock pics...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] psyke83:
Unfortunately, the log doesn't show the status of the libcamera parameters (including saturation). I also can't seem to get Cameringo working on my device to test myself. Do you know of any other app that allows changing the saturation level?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Venkatesh:
I have tried quite a few camera apps....camera zoom fx and cameringo has that option in our device....one more thing you said about postprocessing effect but even before taking a pic(call it preview or something like that) ,the colors are good after 100% saturation...it is dull in stock app...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McBain_666:
I got the update to KitKat but Flash in Firefox stopped working, as you all know.

I did install the hacked Flash Player, that which works only on Dolphin.

In fact, I hate Dolphin. But the support to flash is half-assed to say the least, 50% of the time I go to see a desktop versione of a youtube video, it has some problems: hangs, goes too fast, can't skip, It's a pain.

Is there any other better workaround available ATM? Non-rooted preferrably. At least to get flash working with other browsers.

Otherwise it might be soon that I have found a reason for rooting.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betelgeuse.aldebaran:
My country got KitKat update last night. After searching, thanks to the XDA Nexus 5 site, i am able to have flash again. Basically I just installed Firefox Beta and re-installed the same Flash player i had before. And it works. Ah yes, I am not rooted.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McBain_666:
Great!!! Just did as you suggested and work perfectly. It's Firefox Beta that made the trick. Firefox standard doesn't work.

Thanks a lot!
