[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gixxer340:
Hello all,

New to the G2 and pretty much loving it so far. There are a couple small issues that bother me (mostly the camera, which I use a lot), but something that I absolutely NEED to get fixed before I lose my ability to return the phone is the fact that it won't stay in 4G. I am coming from an HTC rezound and pretty much had 4G where ever I went, but the G2 is always in 3G. If I go to airplane mode and back it switches back to 4G but within a few minutes it is back in 3G.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it a bad device?

Thank

Jeff

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gixxer340:
Thanks for the input.

1. I can not find any battery saving settings that would cause this. Can you be more specific?

2. What is "fast dormancy"

3. My rezound had solid 4G in all the places I go. Plus, if I go into airplane mode it works for a little while and then switches back.

Thanks again

Jeff
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bachera:
1 its in settings, tab general then battery, scroll down to the battery saving togle, try with it switched off. Also some apps can switch off to lower power network mode. That could also be it.

2 phone default has fast dormancy enabled, basically when no network data is being utilized, theoretically it switches to 3g etc. It can be disabled via a special menu. search here for codes to enter from the phone dialer.

3 the switching of and on supports that 1 or 2 could be in roll here.

To Whom It May Concern...

Yesterday, I updated my Bell Sony Xperia T LT30a W/LB using FW/9.2.A.0.295. This update removed my Root Access. I haven't been successful using Bin4ry v33 to restore my Root Access.

Please provide me with step by step instructions on how to ReRoot my subject phone/firmware. Currently I have very limited App access since I was using Link2SD and without Root almost all my Apps are missing

Appreciated...Rasher0123
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
currently the only way to have root on 4.3 is to downgrade to 4.1, then root, flash CWM for LB then upgrade with one of the packages in the development section that has root pre-installed.

If you have an UB then you need to unlock it and flash one of the stock kernels with CWM
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rasher0123:
4.3 vs 4.1

Matt...

Thanks for your response

I was rooted before I updated my firmware to 9.2.A.0.295. Did the firmware upgrade me from 4.1>4.3 as well because I thought I was 4.3 before?

Previously I was able to achieve root by using Bin4ry v31 however since I upgraded the firmware I've lost root access and Bin4ry v33 doesn't seem to be working to restore it, I have also tried DooMLoRD v18, Kingo Root & SuperOneClick.

Are you familiar with any of the above Bin4ry, DooMLoRD, Kingo Root & SuperOneClick?

I am an avid computer user however I don't understand some of the terms and abbreviations you provided below such as LB and UB as I am new to phone mods

Any further help you could provide or others could provide would be greatly appreciated...in the simplest of terms

Thanks...Rasher0123
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BarneyJ:
Rasher0123, you would have been rooted on Jellybean 4.1.2 before. The Xperia T's have only recently officially got JB 4.3 with this 9.2.A.0.295 update that started to roll out last month.

LB = locked bootloader

UB = unlocked bootloader

As someone new to phone mods a good place to start is the All in One Thread that's at the top of this Q&A forum.

I managed to keep root with an Over-The-Air update from JB 4.1.2 (FW: 9.1.A.1.141) to JB 4.3 (FW: 9.2.A.1.199) following this thread, so you could give that a try. Whether you go by Matt's advise or follow the method in the thread I've linked, I believe downgrading to JB 4.1 using flashtool will wipe your settings so make sure to backup beforehand.

I am trying to use Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde and downgrade from 9.2.A.0.295 to 9.1.A.1.141 but after Preparing Files For Flashing I can't get past the Wait For Flashmode pop-up. I unplug my Sony Xperia T from the USB cable attached to my computer. I power off my Sony Xperia T.

Thanks for the advice of using CWM v8 instead of v9

I've been reading this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245 but I'm very confused by 'Step 2.

Unzip the file you chose (cwmod_internal.zip OR cwmod_microsd.zip) to the root folder on the storage option of your choice.

So, for example, if the storage option you chose has the drive letter “F:” assigned to it when hooked up to your computer, you would want it to look something like this…

A folder located at “F:\recovery”

A file located at “F:\update.zip”;

Does that mean I unzip it to my phone directly? Any walkthrough you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I am so frustrated and confused, I haven't had anything go straightforward in this whole process that has taken me over 24hrs.

Boot Into Recovery?

It appears to have worked but I don't know how to test it and I can't seem to boot into recovery. I've tried by having the phone disconnected from the computer, shutting down the phone and then once shut down holding the volume up button and pushing power. It just regular boots. I have also tried When SONY logo appears: On Xperia T/TL/TX press repeatedly (not holding) volume-down button until the phone vibrates. The phone does not vibrate and just regular boots. I've also tried a program from Google Play Store called Quick Boot which I selected Recovery within the program and the phone reboots but again just regular boots.

Bell Stock Roms

So I've decided in the last few days that I want to stay with the Bell Stock Roms. I've found and successfully downloaded both Bell Stock Roms .ftf 's 9.1.A.0.489 (4.1.2) & 9.2.A.0.295 (4.3).

I've successfully flashed both however I can only root 9.1.A.0.489 using Kingo Root, I can't seem to get 9.2.A.0.295 rooted

Is there anyway for me to get this Stock Bell Rom 9.2.A.0.295 rooted?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nlooooo:
Not with locked bootloder.

You lost LTE because you flashed some ftf for non LTE device including baseband. Root 4.1.2 LTE version and then install rom based on .295 or .199 and set network via *#*#4636#*#*. I think that there are some app that can set network mode.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rasher0123:
Root & Stock .295 Rom

Nlooooo...

Using your method above I'll end up with Non-Stock .295 or .199 Rom, correct? Since I want to stay with Stock .295 Rom there is no way for me to Root since I have Locked (unlockable) Bootloader, correct? If I want to have Stock Rom & Root I have to go with .489 (4.1.2), correct?

If all of the above is correct, then I know this might just be a best guess but, do we anticipate Root being possible on Stock .295 Rom soon?

P.S. The main and really the only reason I want to Root Stock .295 Rom is because the Xperia T has a 2GB App Internal Storage limit. If I can't Root Stock .295 Rom is there another way for me to get around or change etc. the 2GB App Internal Storage limit? What I did before on Rooted Stock .489 Rom was run Link2SD which allowed linking(moving) of Apps to MicroSD. Just using Move To SD which is basically Move To Internal doesn't provide enough space for all my desired Apps since not all Apps can be moved etc.

Thanks for all your time & help...Rasher0123
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LaZiODROID:
I think that choosing LTE Only in the *#*#4636#*#* menu is a bad idea. I recommend you choose LTE/GSM/WCDMA Auto or LTE/GSM/WCDMA auto (PRL)... so it will flex between LTE/4g/3g depending on where you are.

Recently i put cm11 on my i9000 and now the screen is constantly turning on. As soon as the screen lock is turned on, the phone wakes again.

Sometimes this happens indefinitely and sometimes it only happens once then the screen will sleep after a second press of the lock/power button.

The only consistent thing appears to be that when the lock screen is unlocked the recent apps are always shown.

I've tried formatting/wiping and different night lies and the m4 snapshot but it all happens exactly the same.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GP leqend:
New Method

Try going into settings>Applications (or Apps)> Running and check which application(s) is taking up the most memory, it may be that a application from an unknown source is waking up the device, like a virus or your phone is consuming too much RAM. If this is the case try and delete it or run a security scan from the play store such as BitDefender.

Another option is to run a more stable version of CyanogenMod instead of a Nightly, I had problems with Nightly builds and changed back to a stable build. Try the new 4.4 snapshot of CyanogenMod, it is more stable. DOWNLOAD from the official cyanogenmod website, don't update using the option in settings as it always sends my phone into a boot loop. Hope it helps :)

Stock file managers are the only ones that work on kit kat for external sd cards, This applies to any phone running kit kat, only system apps have full acess to the SD card

so in our case file commander is the only file manager that works with the external sd card

System apps are also the only ones that can copy/move/create/delete or download stuff on the external sd card, unless they have their own private folder AND if you delete the app then all files in said private folder go out with it too
