Hello,

Recently I have observed that the volume down key on my Canvas 2 is not working. :crying:

It works intermittently... but requires a hard press.

It seems that there is a hardware problem. Is there any way I can fix it at home ?

Thanks for your time and help in advance.
[G2 General] kkel19:
Not sure if its asked before, but are there any roots available after 4.4? Will I run into the problem of not being to update future OTAs? Mainly rooting only for auto hide bottom bar.

Thanks

There is plenty of discussion in this thread, no need to open another.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] KDB223:
You probably may or may not know this, but I absolutely loathe the ICS Xperia UI. :eek:

So I switched to the much more beautiful CM10 (yet again) a few days ago. I never had the no-subscription/no-SIM bug ever before, except once, after a reboot (back in December). It happened once or twice a month, and so I wasn't worried.

But now, I can say its heavily screwed up.

For the first 7-8 reboots it was fine , no problem. (if you're wondering why I reboot so many times, its because of the tons of mods & Xposed modules I use :good:)

On the next reboot the bug occurred. Fine. I went through the entire process of fixing it - taking a nadroid, flashing the entire 2.23 FW, waiting for it to boot up, switching it off, flashing hsr0's CM10 kernel and then restoring the nandroid. As expected, GSM started working again.

Later, at night, I remember installing SwipeBack, and then having to reboot. (I remember doing a soft-reboot, but it forced itself into a hard one)

And voila. The bug appeared again. Thinking it was my bad luck, I, once again, went through the entire process of fixing it. Again.

After it booted up, I thought everything was fine and decided to not - ever - reboot again, not taking any chances.

Yesterday, the dare-devil inside me ventured into the /dev partition, and tried to open up a file in it. (do NOT ask why :p ).

Lo and behold, it went into another reboot. And the bug appeared. Again.

Well, then I ditched CM10 and switched back to Stock 2.23 with UltraGamerHD's CWM Kernel. Everything is fine now.

Which means, that the network bug occurs on every reboot. Not good. At all.

So, what did I want to prove? I'm not asking questions or asking for a fix to this, just saying that CM10 on Xperia E SS is a bad idea.

NB: When I first switched to CM10 from stock, which was about 5 months ago, directly flashing hsr0's CM10 worked just fine. There was not a trace of the GSM bug. After switching to Xboost and other ROMs, its not the same anymore. I have to use the hsr's kernel+jjm's ROM combo.

Weird.

Regards,

KDB223
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] TheRealSS:
This bug behaves differently for me. I haven't got the bug in around 3 months now. Once when I got it, a reboot FIXED it!

Edit: I also reboot around 3 times a day and still no bug... so far.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
It's different for me too. I reboot about 3-4 times a week, and my GSM bugs occurs randomly every month. Then I have to backup with Titanium (restoring from a Nandroid also restores the bug), flash and boot stock, flash CM10, then reinstall all the apps with Titanium. Royal PITA.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Grimlock007:
the rom ultragamerhd was using on his XEss was hsr0's cm10 (while developing cm11) .....that's why my curiosity about hsr0's cm10

i encountered this bug once on jim34 cm10.....got scared but stock ftf came to the rescue!

in fear of this happening again i avoid all types of modding (adrenoboost,pureperformance,audio engines etc...)

from that day onwards i have never encountered this bug

i know .....the risk one has to take on cm10 especially when you go out without laptop

{i went to college once and encountered this bug

i flashed cm10 and other roms

factory reseted my phone and it didnt work(did all this during class.....was fffffing scary)

went home flashed stock ftf and voila things were back to normal...on cm10}
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] KDB223:
The fact that it behaves differently on the same device just shows how unstable and weird it is. (mostly weird)

As in the OP, I never had the network bug when I had flashed for the very first time though. Never.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] UltraGamerHD:
I am in the process of building/compiling cm10 from jjm34 source, I am going to have a look if its fixed anything!

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

You guys should use jjm34 cm10 rom and hsr0 cm10 kernel. The only bug with this configuration is video recording!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Grimlock007:
its the same one were talking about! its a rare bug .....which happened to me once
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] TheindianGuy:
Something of a fix

I know exactly whatcha talking about. I get this bug almost ever alternate week.

So here's how i temporarily fix it

1)Have the Xboost rom, and the Cm10 rom on my phones external sd, make backup of apps using titanium...

2)power off phone....

3)boot to recovery.. take a nandroid backup IF you want to..

4)#important# wipe dalvik cache and do a FACTORY RESET

5)flash zip from sd card–Xboost

6)Power off.. Boot up phone... Will result in bootloop, no problem :)

7)pull battery... Reinsert.. Boot to clockworld recovery.. Flash Cm10

8)boot up phone... Your Gsm is now working ;)... Restore any cwm backup..

Hit the thanks button if i helped... Cya!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Grimlock007:
NICE.....but we still need pc for hsr0 kernel or there will be battery always full bug
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
Just remove the jjm34 boot.img from the ZIP and put the hsr0 one there - it'll flash that one. I use this practically all the time.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Grimlock007:
never thought about that! nice

EDIT :- made it!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] AngelousJi:
I got this bug once at a very, very bad time. I forgot my wallet home, missed my bus and had no money. (Class was only 1hr long). When I missed my bus, I opened up my phone and suddenly it restarted. And Boom! Network bug appeared. That a hella scary for me. I somehow managed to call my friend up to drop me home lol. But this isn't good at all. I gave up on cm. Now on termin.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
You do know than Termin V2 has a CM10 base, right?

<<< This guy is an idiot.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] AngelousJi:
by cm i mean that cm10 which kept on giving networking bug lol. :P
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] :
No, no!

V2 is still stock based!

V3 may have a CM10 and stock based version.

Mats
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:

Hey, guys!

I have the following problem: sometimes, when i call somebody, i hear in my phine sharp sounds. they are so sharp, that i cannot even hold the device near my ear. do you know what can be the problem?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fordcan:
That's my problem too, so weird but that sharp sound is getting more often everyday. In a call when phone is near by body is makes a sharp sound. It's a magnetism problem maybe i do not know.. :?:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zamo_x:
same thing happens here (spv m3000)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fordcan:
And besides sometimes ,I can feel small electrical current while holding the phone , I think there must be a short circuit with the battery
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cmarti:
Don't you all have the same carrier? :?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mattucd:
My phine is so sharp it cut my ear :cry:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fordcan:
I don't think that we all have the same carrier. it must be a hardware problem

and if your ph(o)(i)ne did cut your ear, you don't need to use a razor then :lol:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dimushor:
so what do you guys think we can do in this case. a friend of mine, who also has a qtek 9100, also has this problem. to tell you the truth, i hate it. it bother's me a lot, because i cannot talk normally on it. if i use bluetooth hadsfree, everything is ok, never had those sharp sounds.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zamo_x:
i think that there is a problem with the internal speaker
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fordcan:
Any of you overclock the phone. it's not a speaker problem because if it was must be permanent . Not everytime does this, I can't figure it out in which circumtances do this problem rise. As you said if you take the phone away from your body(wired/BT headset or Speakerphone On) it stops.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dimushor:
i used to overclock it, but since i saw that the clock is going down again to 180 by itself, i stopped doing it. now i am not overclocking, but these sharp sounds still occur.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zamo_x:
i have overclocked it only once. but it happened also before overclocking.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dimushor:
so, it means this is not the problem. i think this is because of some problems with the network, may be worse coverage, or vice versa, because of a very good coverage
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fordcan:
It should have been an hardware(magnetism) or phone software (ROM upgrade) problem; no network or something can cause this for my opinion.

first of all we must find the common circumtances to figure out what causes this
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zamo_x:
about magnetism.. do you use the original case?

i use it, and some times when i pull out my phone from it, the screen rotates because of it's magnets
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dimushor:
may be you are right. last time i remember these sharp sounds, i was wearing its original case.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fordcan:
I do never use case. i am out then.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fordcan:
Maybe our anger makes us flow electric current more :lol:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dimushor:
it means that its not the case to blame.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArunThazhathuveetil:
Dear friends,

I searched in google for the OTG Support for xperia sp, I got several answers shows that, someone said YES and someone said NO.

Actually I'm using C5302 without root (in .266 F/W), in my experiance it wont support OTG. Several times i connected the XSP with different pendrives, but nothing happens. But In storage menu there is an option for Mount USB Storage... what is the use of that? Some websites shows xperia sp has OTG support. So my questions are

1. Could any one connect OTG without root?

2. If YES, is ur device C5302 or C5303?

3. Is it possible with any other File Manager (like solid explorer)?

4. If i root my device, is this possible?

one more thing, in solid explorer there is a folder available for USB storage. When i touch it shows no root access. If i root my device can i access that folder? is this folder contains external usb storage?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eferrari.:
Well, I'm still on .254 but my OTG cable works. The USB-folder is normally on XSP /storage/usbdisk/. Weird though, because I never heard of Android 4.3 uncompatibility. Even ICS supports OTG. You might check your cable.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArunThazhathuveetil:

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draqula:
I'm not sure about this, but I think there was some article about S3 needing a special cable for OTG, the usual ones didn't work. It was mentioned that the cable that worked for S2 wouldn't work with S3. So it could be that this special cable would not work for other phones?

If you can, try another cable, something that works with other phones, just not the latest Galaxy series.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArunThazhathuveetil:
Friends,

When i connect my pendrive, it dosent shows any change in my phone. But lost.dir folder appear in pendrive(when it connect with PC) does it mean my phone detect that pendrive? but i cant access any thing. is ter any step to follow? already check with new cable and new pendrive, but no change.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smogf:
Filesystem can be one of the reason.

I have c5303 and can connect lot of devices without root on .254 stock rom. Only my 16GB Kingston Pendrive didnt work

On 4.3 Kingston pendrive work as well. Without root.

I dont think that for OTG in c5302 you MUST have root. Its "normal" device support. It didnt ask for persmissions when you connect usb device. Just try at first generic mouse or keyboard and see if it work. When not. Try another cable.

Also try .266 firmware. It has a little more drivers for USB devices. (example my Kingston)

Finally... I conculded that.............

No otg support for xperia SP C5302 without root...........!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its too sad

I check with 3 different cables and 8 different pendrives ( including sandisk, kingston sony and transend etc)

But nothing happens.. In solid explorer there is a folder names USB Disk.. when i tap on that it shows no root access (Im running unrooted) also USB Disk mount in storage menu still not tappable

If anyone could get OTG in C5302 pls post the reply with steps....
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draqula:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
I don't know much about kernel programming but, yes those are the frequencies on the left side of the table. They are measured in kHz (kilo hertz). You must divide the number by 1000 to get the frequency in mHz and divide by 10^6 to get it in GHz. Usually overclocking means extending the array of structures along with the corresponding voltage values. But in our acpuclock-8x60.c file, there are multiple structures which have the frequency table and there is a function called :-

static __init struct clkctl_acpu_speed *select_freq_plan(void)

which decides which frequency table to chose. So basically there is a switch case block in that function which looks like this -

switch (pvs) {
case 0x0:
case 0x7:
acpu_freq_tbl =acpu_freq_tbl_1512mhz_slow;
pr_info("ACPU PVS: Slow\n");
break;
case 0x1:
acpu_freq_tbl = acpu_freq_tbl_1512mhz_nom;
pr_info("ACPU PVS: Nominal\n");
break;
case 0x3:
acpu_freq_tbl = acpu_freq_tbl_1512mhz_fast;
pr_info("ACPU PVS: Fast\n");
break;
default:
acpu_freq_tbl = acpu_freq_tbl_1512mhz_slow;
pr_warn("ACPU PVS: Unknown. Defaulting to slow.\n");
break;
}

Here depending on the variable pvs (unfortunately can't figure out what pvs is:( ), the frequency table is chosen. So we need to assign acpu_freq_table, the new overclocking structure which is acpu_freq_tbl_oc. Please do check out this commit too - https://github.com/deedwar/android_...mmit/d5520b9701591ecec2a3d4e43435bb7980cfea80

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Well the overclocking commit was authored 9 months ago by Doom so the kernel has overclocking support. The CPU frequency scaling depends on the governor which you use.

Hello,

Few years ago, i purchased Nexus S 4G CDMA by accident and since my area only have GSM network available, i have not been using it much at all. besides selling it back online, I am considering the following options and any comment or suggestions are greatly welcome. in my mind, it can be used as

GPS navigation device

media center (cheapcast)

USB/NFC troubleshooting

Since it is not being used as a typical phone, is there any way it can be configured accordingly (non-calling device) to preserve the battery life? if you think it might be easier if i just sell it back online, i'd like to hear your opinion as well. thanks ans take care~

I ended up in a similar situation and now I just use the Nexus S 4G as a music playing device. Enabled airplane mode, got a cheap extended battery on ebay, and loaded up Voodoo. This phone has a really nice Wolfson DAC and with Voodoo it's just wow. And plus it lasts like a week if i use it strictly as a music only device. Just sucks that the NS4G is a little behind in terms of development compared to the OG version... otherwise its a beast music playing device and is still fast enough for the job while running kitkat :P

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anon124342:
Hey guys,

There will be a tl;dr at the bottom. The problem however should not be that big of a deal.

I tried flashing the latest build of DevCon's CM 11.0 yesterday. I followed the instructions in the thread and also installed K-Kernel (i chose v1.5 with 348 MB).

So after i was done my phone booted as usual after this procedure. Fancy Start-up Screen, Launcher works, everything fine so far. However I can not access CWM. The "restart phone"-section when pressing the power-button won't give me an option to chose "boot into recovery" and also the key-combo (vol+ - home - power) when the phone is turned off will just bring up a screen saying "RAMDUMP MODE cause: Force Upload".

The thing is: I wouldn't even mind, if I couldn't also get into kernel-settings to set the governor and i/o. They just won't appear in the settings.

So the noob I am just thinks: Ok, maybe something on the phone doesn't grant me the permissions for doing these things. So then I downloaded CWM-Rom Manager from the Appstore and tried to fix permissions -> Still won't work.

Please help me. I really think this problem isn't much of a big deal but I just can't solve it by myself.

tl;dr:

- flashed CM 11.0 with KK

- phone boots, but access to CWM is not possible; also specific options like setting governor or i/o-scheduler just don't appear in the options

- tried fixing permissions with CWM-Rom Manager -> no change
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
yep, its a simple issue

if you press

Volume Up + Power. you will get recovery mode

Volume Down + Home + Power. you will get Download mode

Volume Up + Home + Power you will get RAM DUMP mode

so learning more about the i9001 is done by using this;)

as for developers option, try taping about phone in settings 7 Times, to open up its hidden menu.

2. The Snapdragon 805 isn't available yet, sadly.

And why isn't 2GB of RAM enough? I have 300+ apps here, 9 accounts syncing and available RAM never goes below 700MB.
