Well first off i'm miffed and :evil: :? :( with this Exec

I 'know' it's a capable machine, I know it's pretty cool, I know it's sought after and all of that, but this is the first time I've felt really 'let down' by a product's functionality so soon out of the box - in fact it was a let down as soon as it came out the box!!!

My previous Xda2i and the current one I'm borrowing off my friend work flawlessly. I posted my little 'issue' but no one has come back with any further insight and such a 'small' issue is really turning me off using the exec any further.

My Outlook 2003, via ActiveSync 4.1 - only about a quarter of my 'contacts' list shows up on the Exec. No amount of setting it to 'show all contacts' shows them up.

I've got a workaround, I have to manually delete all the missing contacts from Outlook, and then re-enter them one by one - they'll then show up.

This means over 60 deletions, and then re-typing.

Maybe it's a 'known issue' or is a 'bug' within this setup - but pretty poor if basic functionality like this is up the spout.

I updated to the latest O2 ROM - same thing.

For the last 4 days, this 'Executive' PDA has been nothing but a paperweight on my desk - so I'm thinking if there's no 'fix' or 'settings' to show all the contacts, I might as well just sell it off. (before you ask - during the sync - it does show '83' contacts - so I know they're in the 'exec' somewhere!)

I'll try out the K Jam / Xda Mini next - if that has the same issue, then I'm just gonna buy anotherXda2i !

Has anyone come across this before? (cant seem to find anything using search) anyone know of how to resolve?!

I'm guessing not seeing the single response to my last post - I might give it one last big effort when I have time over the weekend to really dig and sig around the web, and maybe ask O2 etc else I'll seriously consider just selling it off!

You Exec fans here will be the first to know if I do!

Cheers for reading out my Rant/Help request!!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rbmerlin:
hi.

I remember seeing something about this before on another forum but can't remember where.

I think it is something to do with "File as" field. If on outlook you change the view to "By category" you should see your contacts in a line by line list. if you add the "File as" field, do they all have one?

You could add all the contact fields to the view in outlook and then compare the Outlook entries of the missing ones to the ones you see on the Exec and see if anything is different - ie. Is the File As field set on them all, is the Full Name field set on them both etc...

I;ll see if I can see the post/info I saw before, but that could be worth a try.

I have a number of Pocket PC's here and an exchange server running. If you want to export all your contacts into a PST and email me a copy I will see if I can import into a mailbox, and do a Outlook 2003/AActiveSync 4.1 test with one of my spare Execs...Send me a PM if you want to discuss this option!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Riceburner:
The only other thing I can think of is that your Outlook on the PC needs upgrading??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rjefferis:
Export

i know its not a resolution for the problem but if deleting them and re creating them seems to work, have you tried exporting all the contacts in outlook to a pst, then deleting them all, then re importing them all. Might solve the problem for now.

Who knows ?

Rob.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DennisCooper:
Hi!

Riceburner - Outlook 2003 is the latest version, and has been updated via the MS online update site - so I doubt it's anything to do with that. Also, When I edit a contact I can see on my laptop Outlook screen, hit save & close the Exec shows the Icon for data arriving/syncing and makes the confirmation bleep. To me that suggests the record is indeed in the Exec, just not being displayed.

rjefferis - I might give something like this a go. I'll export them to an Excel file just to have a backup and then try exporting again to a .PST, deleting and re-importing.

I personally think there's some flag in Outlook that changes a 'characteristic' - over time as I've added other contacts, maybe I didn't add in the same way or haven't added a certain detail (or something!) to make a set of contacts 'dfferent' from another set' ( I can't think of what really, I just click 'add new contact' fill in bits and click 'save and close' !

With more investigating I'm sure some sort of reason will come out of it - be it a 'setup' difference issue or a bug or a hardware conflict or something!

For now it's just annoying as such a simple procedure appears flawed!

I'll get to email rbmerlin at some point - right now I gotta go talk the dog for a walk !

Never enough time !

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragingbull:
Hey,

I recently bought a used Xperia Z1 and everything is great apart from the charging. It is horrendously slow whilst charging.

I've tried charging from my home PC, office PC, two seperate AC (wall) outlets and it makes no difference. Out of curiosity I downloaded 'Battery Widget Reborn' and it showed that my device will charge 1% every 6 or so minutes and will take 12 hours for a full charge to 100%.

My Nexus 4 charged to 100% within two hours usually so this leads me to believe that something is wrong with the phone.

Normally I would go consider the battery as the main culprit but after finally getting to 100% it doesn't seem to drain particularly quickly as you would probably expect from a faulty battery. It would be nice to compare these statistics to the rest of you to see how abnormal this is.

This moves me on to the the USB slot on the device - is it possible that it is faulty and therefore pulling very little power (barely enough to charge the device whilst using moderately)?

-

If this is the case then has anyone had any experience with getting their Z1 USB slot repaired or should I just try to take the device back and get a different Z1 from somewhere else?

Does anyone have any other suggestions for me to try? There is a Sony store in my city so I could perhaps go to them for advice (as long as they don't empty my wallet)...

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
I had same experience with not original Magnetic Cable. All what is not Genuine can compromise the functionality of your device. Check first the wall charger, it have to be 0.5VDC 1500mA. then check the cable or try different one. I will recommend the Original Dock DK31. In 2 hours mine is fully charged with that one.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santro652:
Hi,

The phone usually takes about 3 hours to charge completely in my case, using the standard sony adapter given with the phone, probably i would suggest if you could borrow some other charger and try charging so that you can isolate the issue.(Please note the rating of the charger which you intend to charge for testing)

Also i noticed that the standard charger given by sony is 1.5A rating, so i usually charge with the charger given for my samsung tab 2 which has a higher rating and this one does a super charge in nearly 2 hours or less.

Thanks

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mm79k:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Not for me. I am having slow charging as well. Using official Sony magnetic cable I have tried a couple different power adapters from Sony including the EP880 and even over night it won't charge it completely. Last night I plugged it in with about 37% left...woke up this morning after about 7.5 hours and it was only at 78%. Have to plug it in via USB to get any decent charging speed.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sucker for sony's:
My z1 charges fine if i dont let it get below 40%. If i let the battery drop down to around 10% it takes a long time to reach 40% and then charges normally. It doesn't matter what method i use for charging it still charges the same, one observation i did make though is that when charging from a low percentage up to around 30% the phone gets very hot so it might be a good idea if we don't cycle our phones batteries so low?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
Let's deal with myths first:

1. More powerful charger: You can put your phone on a 500A charger, but it would still take between 500-1500ma, because the amperage is regulated by kernel, Sony's thermanager and is temperature dependent

2. Full charge in 1.5 hours: If your phone gets a full charge in 1.5 hours, your battery has a reduced capacity and is dying. Let's say the new battery has 18 cells and it should take about 3 hours to fully charge. If the battery is down to 4 cells, it would take 30 minutes to charge, but then it would discharge under load quickly

The main culprit is Sony thermanager. It is calibrated to severely limit charging current with heat and Z1 is known for overheating on a standard stock and CM kernels. I am aware of one kernel only - M5 which provides a multitude of adjustments that allow to keep the temperature down. You also need to adjust values in thermanager.

Take a look at my thermanager. Compare it with Stock/CM, but don't use with standard stock/cm roms, as it is modified for different CPU frequencies available in M5.

[Q] Can someone with an At&t account, unlock my Nokia 920 (*I will pay you for it*)

Hi guys,

So a couple of months ago, i bought a brand new Nokia Lumia 920 from ebay but the thing is that it was (and still is) sim locked by At&t US

so basicly i bought a really expensive camera/music player :(

I live in Belgium (Europe) so the chances of me using it on ATT are zero.

I have paid some site that claimed that they would unlock it but they didnt succeed and ATT needs some kind of an proof that i am or was a former att costumer so i am stuck with this great phone that cant be used as a phone xs

So my question to you guys is; Can someone that was or is an att costumer unlock my phone with his account?

I wil pay you for your services kindly (with Paypal, or you can choose for an other methode...)

[General Questions and Answers] komitaltrade:
This is first time that I see something like this.

I dumped ROM, but ROM is without Recovery.img and without Boot.img. I done it with two different tools (roamdupm is one) and result is same.

However, tablet has the Recovery, but accessible just from PC (with dev mode activated).

OS is 4.1 cooked by chinese and has the problems with permissions what place him in infinitive loop. That can be fixed, but with factory reset appear again.

Chinese made bad job, as OS is with busybox, primary rooted (twice) and after cooking unrooted (two MySyoeruser.apk with 0 KB). Busysbox serve now for boot (dynamically switching dev). In other words, it is possible during boot loop to reboot in recovery via ADB (some custom recovery also has the option for update.zip install via ADB in recovery mode!!!).

QUESTIONS

01) How to detect and extract boot and recovery IMG?

02) How to add button combinations for triggering recovery from device button combinations (MOST IMPORTANT!!!)?

03) Can I try to flash tablet with some other Y88 OS like Dragon Touch® (what is the risk?) as it is basically 100% sure that chinese dont makes some significant differences in device structure (wifi, camera, display, ...).

REASONS - BENEFITS to flash with other OS

- More stable OS (without this weired cooking).

- Maybe I can get normal recovery with button combination (am I wtong?).
