Hi guys, I'm in a deadlock situation trying to recover my Xperia Ray. It just stuck at Sony logo. I know there is a lot of topics with the same issue, I've tried all that I could and most of the instructions that I can find on the internet, but not luck.

Here is what I've done but unfortunately, none works:

1) Install Sony Update Service, select Xperia Ray and reinstall the latest firmware. [Result: Successful, but still stuck at Sony Logo]

2) Download the .ftf (I flashed almost all version, GB, JB etc) , wipe everything, and flashed using flashtool. [Result: Successfully flashed, but still stuck at Sony Logo]

3) Unlock the bootloader, using Flashtool, I flashed several custom kernel and rom combination, (Lupus, Xkernel, Ice Bean Rom, MIUI rom, Xperia HD rom). [Result: Successfully flashed the custom kernel and rom, CWM from the kernel loads fine to flash the rom, but after flashing, still stuck, this time at the kernel's logo]

4) Relock the bootloader, tried to reflash the firmware using Sony Update Service again. [Result: Successfull, but stuck at Sony logo, again]

That's it, please help me, anyone have any idea on what can I do to solve this? Is it possible that this is the hardware defect, not software?

I'll really appreciate your help.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ronak383:

Please some one try to help in order to get our rays working :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ketxorange:
Anyone? My last resort would be to send the phone to Sony service centre and see what they can do.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:

[Sony Smartwatch] Nomad1600:
I tried to scroll back to see if there was a fairly recent WatchIt thread... but I don't l know if what is now happening is normal, or since an WatchIt update, or...?

Seems I am getting the occasional WatchIt notification, but instead of being a full screen notification on the watch, it shows up as a single line across the top of the watch, as if the watch itself had a notification line at the top (similar to how the phone does). Is this normal (or are others seeing this)?
[Sony Smartwatch] Erik1805:
In the settings of your smartwatch you can select how you would like your notifications to be displayed.

Are you using a replacement 'watch face' app?

You won't get the full notification if another watch app is running. You only get the full notification if the stock watch face is active.

Only use the stock watch faces...

Hey guys,

I'm Caine. I'm currently started using [ROM][KK][4.4.2][KOT49H] CyanogenMod 11.0 (20140122-UNOFFICIAL) and Hurtsky's ][CM11] HurtSky's Kernel RebornV3 with bigmem kernel.

And now, I started to wonder; With which configurations we can get the best performance overall from our phones? Which Kernel and IO schedulers, Memory management settings, etc.

With still keeping a decent battery life, how can we get our Ancora stand out?

Thanks for your answer at once.

Since I love Doctor who, I made a little boot animation for my D802.

It's kept short on purpose (loops just twice before my phone is done booting).

Copy it to /system/media using a root enabled file manager.

I'd link to a youtube video of the clip, but I can't post links yet.

Hello,

Today I've been trying to root my HTC One S (S3) and install CM11 (cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-ville)

1. I made successfull S-OFF

2. Installed wrong recovery (r2-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img)

3. Then installed correct (working) recovery for s3

4. Flashed my boot - fastboot flash boot boot.img

5. Made backup

6. Factory reset (everything)

7. Tried to install cm *.zip but here it is (

tried also another CM's

What is more phone freezes during start, display non-stop the same:

Help me please, what can I do ?
[HTC One S] Nasheich Xfiles:
did you downloaded the rom fir your device ?

cause, as i look at your pictures, that rom isn't for your device, see picture number 2,

or there's something wrong at updater script, contact your rom developer about the updater script

edit : you can aslo try to replace your recovery with the others, maybe it's the problem too

I used "Stable: cm-11-20140110-UNOFFICIAL" from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2527962 because it's especially for C2

Before flash I had to flash the kernel file from THIS NEW version

Touch-screen alignment problem

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Has anyone else experienced the following problem:

After using the k-Jam for a while (often after a lot of opening/closing the keyboard), my screen alignment gets out of whack. Basically the touch-screen alignment moves by about an icon's (e.g. the close application icon) width to the right.

If I do a soft reset, most of the time this fixes the alignment (though sometimes I need to run through a screen alignment Wizard again to correct it).

Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what might be happening?

Thanks!

Happens to me but I don't do a soft reset. I have seen this many times before in the past with other devices from different companies. What is happening is that the flexi-lead from the display to the keyboard is moving as they normally add lubicant to the flexi-cable port. What I have found that works and is quicker than a soft rest or align the screen is to simply open and close the keyboard fully.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ikkoku:
this seems to be happening to me now. I have the WIZA200. it's weird and to me it only affects the right part of the screen (like 25%).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SkyyBoy:
i have the same problem on my cingular 8125. the open/close keyboard trick works, but is kinda annoying to have to do all the time.

seems like i only started to have this problem after i flashed my 8125 with the qtek (stock) 2.17 rom.

i have been looking for the dopod 2.2x wwe rom to re-flash (to see if it fixes the problem), but it is no longer on the ftp :(

if anyone that has the dopod rom could upload it to the ftp, i would appreciate it 8)

Hi guys!

I have the same problem with HTC Wizard Cingular 8125 (putting in all names in case someone else searches for this thread!)

It's a total pain in the butt. I created a shortcut to the screen alignment setting on my today page. Sometimes i have to fix it once a day, sometimes every ten minutes.

I plan to reflash the ROM to the new 2.25 (or whatever is next from Summiter).

I have a feeling it won't fix it.

I will send this back to Cingular.

I'll keep you posted. Share your stories!

Thanx!

The magnets that has make the screen behave that way.

Hi there,

I just wanted to let you know that his has happened across 2.17 and 2.3 ROMS, and I don't use the case.

I am 99.9% sure that indeed it is hardware related, but not the case.

I am still waiting for my seller to help me exchange the unit....

It would be great if there is a fix!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jerry-S:
Possible explanation / solution

Hi folks, My wizard started doing this last night and i found the only way to actually use the "X" close icon was to gently squeeze my wizard from the sides.

Anyway, as I was trying to video a lightning storm, and it was 4am, I decided I would leave it for today.

I came to the conclusion that by squeezing the sides of the phone, I was gently, and ever so slightly raising the edges of the frame upward.

By doing this, any trapped dirt / grit, would not be pressing on the screen.

I have just tried this:

Take a small piece of paper, fold it tightly once and run the corner gently around the edge of the screen and under the frame.

Worked for me and could just be a simple if only temporary solution.

Try it,its free. :D

PS: Think about using the phone against a sweaty ear and all the crap that builds up.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wig:
I have this problem on my Prophet based Jamin - same generation, but no keyboard as you guys.

Here's a thought - if this is realted to the screen squeeze mentioned above, do you all keep yours in your front pockets or in a case or what? I wonder if the unit is getting squeezed?

I keep mine in my front pants pocket all day. Not only is it warm all day but getting squeezed when I'm sitting.

Gonna try keeping it in a case for a week to see what happens. Please chime in - this is making me HATE this f'in thing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] prestonmcafee:
Me too

I have this problem, US T-Mobile MDA, no case, but I do use a protector. My theory is soft resets cause it. At least, when I have several, it seems more likely; I have to align the screen about every third day.

For me, everything is shoved over to the right relative to where it appears.

I put a link to "align screen" on the start menu; create a file (e.g. by copying an existing link with ActiveSync explorer to your pc desktop, renaming it and editing it, then dropping it back with the new name) named something like Screen.lnk in Windows/Start Menu/Programs with this content:

22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,7?\Windows\deviceinfo.exe,-103

and then select it for the Start menu (Settings/Menus).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wig:
Thanks preston - I like your ingenuity although it probably doesn't need to be said... this shouldn't be happening.

The rat bastages at HTC told me it's because I didn't install my extended ROM files. Could someone PLEASE explain how skipping Backgammon, Antivirus and PDF reader will fix this? (rhetorical).

This happens to me also, but i have to say that i thought that it was the magnet in the case it came with that is causing the problem, it's been 6 weeks i stoped using the case and now i barely have this problem, i used to have it 2 or 3 times a day.

Hope someone will have a solution for this, if not can we get another phone instead?

An idea, but would need help

I spent some time reading about this. (Is there some way to search for phrases? What makes search painful is "search for all words" turns up too many unrelated items.) First thing, every HTC device seems to have this problem. Most threads believe it is a hardware problem created by either sliding the keyboard out or inserting the stylus.

One thread noted that

HKLM/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/TOUCH/

contains data on screen alignment. So I aligned my screen five times and observed the data:

2078,1898 3212,650 3195,3216 839,3234 805,640

1989,1944 3255,666 3233,3235 792,3228 793,621

1987,1944 3218,663 3233,3247 783,3241 777,635

2000,1940 3238,671 3209,3249 797,3237 790,661

1965,1932 3215,640 3198,3248 754,3228 759,637

I tried changing the values to the average of the middle three values (remove the outliers component by component then average) and it worked fine, in the sense that the screen aligned. These values are

1992,1939 3224,660 3213,3243 791,3233 787,637

I of course have not been able to get the screen misalignment to appear, so I don't know for sure that this key is changed when the screen is misaligned; I will of course check if it happens to me.

If so, my idea is to create a program that edits this registry key and inserts the desired values. This program would run automatically with a soft reset, and be available on the start menu as well. That way, we could simulate an alignment without actually going through the process.

I know some people know how to create a program that edits a registry key, but I don't personally know how to do this. What is the easiest way to edit one specific key?

add me to the list, my wizard is doing the same thing now.

just as someone else mentioned, it happens on the right side of the screen for me as well.

not sure why this is happening but I believe it has started ever since I've upgraded from 2.24 rom to 2.26 rom. either its the roms fault or maybe my wizard has wore down and its happening coincidently at the same time.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] alysse:
Re: Shortcut for Screen Align

No, it doesn't fix the original problem, but it makes it a hell of a lot easier to align, particularly just before I throw the phone at the wall! Happens too many times a day.

I am getting another unit via warrenty (my 2nd one) & hope that I will be done with it once and for all. When I spoke to a tech at HTC, he noted that they were hearing about this problem alot more these days & that they don't seem to know what the problem is yet. At least he was honest.

I now have a screen protector on mine, but it doesn't seem to make it any better. Wiping the whole screen from time to time seems to change the alginment a little, but not enough. Using the supplied case with the magnet or not doesn't seem to make much of a difference either.

To check the aligment while I use the phone (can't remember whether it was posted here before or not), I use "Digitizer Check." It is really handy to see how the alignment changes over time. And it is free!

I have had Palm Devices of one sort or another for many years & have never had to align more than once or twice a year. The problem is most likely in the digitizer itself and nothing more.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Re: Digitizercheck

2003 versions works fine with me - after alignment bottom left hand corner reads 0,316 - good for monitoring of the screen.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] alysse:
Re: Digitizercheck

Yes, It works just fine. And the "Pixel Checker" thing works great as a flashlight in a pinch!

As an update to my previous post, I received the replacement unit (3rd unit now, refurbished) and have had it for about 3 weeks now and I cannot complain about the digitizer too much. It does seem to go out from time to time, but rarely at that. Much better than the first 2 (new) units. My advice is: if the problem is chronic, get it replaced! al
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] prestonmcafee:
Digitizer

The digitizer is interesting. When I manage to make it go out of alignment (opening and closing while writing on the screen seem to semi-reliably create the problem) the X values go from left = 4 or 5 and right = 236 to left = 0 and right = 230 or 231. That is a 5 pixel movement. There is no vertical movement.

This is something that should have a software fix, just reseting these values by a shift. Even if there is a hardware cause, it ought to be possible to create a software fix. skschema, which can program screen taps, might do the job! If I get time I will try that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] alysse:
Re: Digitizer

I too find (at least on my first 2 units) that using the keyboard could also make the problem worse, nevermind that the alignment seems completely wrong in landscape anyway. Why that should be escapes me as the size of the display remains the same. Only the orientation has changed.

That said, what I found was that the error "size" could change also from better to worse to better (but not always). So I am not sure that a software fix would fix the problem completely. At least in my case.

As you have seen, it always seems to be an error in the x-direction, never in y. But another sypmtom was that the pointer would sometimes get "jittery." I couldn't see past the conclusion that it was hardware after that. al
