Flash a stock FTF to your phone to unbrick it, then root it with this - Root many Android. Method 0 is what you need to root your current firmware version.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tg2012:
Already have that file downloaded. I used method 3. I guess I choose the wrong one then. I'll try using method 0 then! Also one thing, could you please link me to a stock FTF?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
I don't have one to hand, sorry. There's definitely a C6606 stock rom in the general section. A search should find it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tg2012:
Ok I'll keep searching. I was going to download one and make it a FTF with flashtool but Sony PC Companion cant recognize my phone because of the issue lol no problem though, I'll get it! :good:

EDIT: Ok, so Sony PC Companion is fixing my phone atm, had no idea I could do that I just selected my device and it's fixing my device! After that I'll try method 0! Thanks man!
[Sony Xperia ZR] grim_ripper:
I'm on Nordic 4.3 101 rooted and I can't find chinese language on the xperia international keyboard. I know that there's some xperia chinese keyboard on some firmwares, however, am interested to know if there's a way to get chinese on the language selection for xperia international keyboard. (i.e. settings->language & input->xperia keyboard settings->writing language)
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
I found that not every customization contains the Chinese keyboard (Xperia Chinese keyboard). I'm using the Russian version (1272-9018) which does come with the Chinese keyboard. Maybe you can give it a try.
[Sony Xperia ZR] grim_ripper:
I was hoping to get just the language add in as opposed to the whole keyboard change, guess that's not possible.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
On occasions when the phone is sleeping, it will not alert me of a text message until I've turned the screen on. No LED is flashed and often the alert sound is delayed until the phone is woken as well. Looking at the battery graph there will be no "awake" line during that period though the message will have a properly aged time stamp. Now I think the same thing happened with a missed voice call which is quite disconcerting.

I wonder how many people are experiencing this and might think the LED notification is not working properly, which is a common complaint. I've tried clearing the cache for Hangouts and Dialer and am waiting to see results but this was not happening on a consistent basis.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sutobe:
I got this several times now with WhatsApp but only noticed with one contact (not using Whatsapp very often).

It occurs to me it has something to do with the phone going to sleep but I am not sure.

I don't have whatsapp greenified but turned off "Keep Awake" in AppOps, maybe this was causing the issue. Turned it off now and now I have to wait for someone texting me
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
I'm stock unrooted, unless it's a glitch with my network then I think it would be an Android bug.

Normally I'd notice this when I woke up and checked my phone, but one time in particular I was having a text conversation with someone expecting a reply back. I turned off the screen. 20mins later I turn the screen on and the message arrives at that moment however the time stamp indicated it was from 15 minutes earlier.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr hOaX:
What's the sleep time that you set in display options under settings?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
I've always had it at 1 minute time out. Do you think that might be related to the notifications?

I've noticed it happening a lot today. It seems the message might get through eventually just with varried degrees of delay. I would try a phone reset but I don't think it's going to help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr hOaX:
Make sleep time after 10 minutes and observe your device!

I guess this will solve out the issue :)

It's because of proximity sensor which dims out the display on your nexus
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PDAholic:
To start off, I don't have a Wizard, I own a Universal. I am thinking about moving to the Wizard for gaming. I like the button setup on the wizard. Now, I know most of you are thinking, don't consider the buttons because the phone keys can't be mapped. However, I would like to recommend a program to you all called aebuttonplus, which will allow you to map the phone buttons to "virtual buttons." These virtual buttons can be recognized by programs like Pocetnestor and gnuboy. At least they work on my Universal.

My other concern is that the processor isn't fast enough. Seems like you all are overclocking, but apparently you can't run spbplus, which I really need. This may be a problem for me, and there is no discussion here, I have to run spbplus.

So, my next thought is the Apache. A faster processor, from what I understand, that doesn't need overclocking. I just don't like the antenna nub. Also, the buttons aren't quite an issue on this device, but I don't know about the joystick.

I would also recommend to you all the bluetooth gamepad, I have found drivers that work on the Universal. It really takes gaming to a new level on a PDA.

Thanks for any advice/thoughts/responses.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tweaker:
hey give me more info on this bluetooth gamepad.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Koksie:
My wizard is not overclocked and runs SPB Pocket Plus without any problem, the device is as responsive as it it without SPB Plus.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] guyver2077:
i have yet to really get into gaming on the wizard... the butotn layout just does work for me good..

im thinking the bast games for wizard are point and click type games like myst or simple games like who wants to be a millionare

need for speed is ok but madden is unplayable for me.. control is horrible
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PDAholic:
Wow, 200 views and 3 replies. You Wizard folk are gamin' fools, LOL.

Anyhow, the bluetooth gamepad is called the Freedom Bluetooth gamepad. There's lots of different brandnames for it. Google away.

Koksie, I was referring to overclocking in order to run game emulators. Problem is, overclocking is supposedly disabled by sbp. Don't know why, but that's what I've read in these forums.

Guyver, thanks for your reply on the buttons, I guess you are saying the buttons work okay for gaming?

I can't believe you guys don't play game emulators (like NES, gameboy, etc.). A nice time waster when you are sitting in a department store, wedding, etc. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Koksie:
Sorry, I misunderstood your post.

I use Omapclock to sometimes overclock my Wizard when running TomTom and it works fine, in TCPMP my clock speed is shown as 226 Mhz when I put it in 240 in Omapclock. When I put it back to 180 Mhz in Omapclock ( the default speed), TCPMP shows a 170 Mhz speed, so Omapclock works imo.

I used to play around with Morphgear and Ninentendo emulators on my Magician, but the button lay-out on that device made it hard to play games. Sound and display of the games were ok though. On my Wizard I have not tried it, although with this button lay-out is should be easier to control the games. Speed and sound of the games might be an issue though, even when overclocked.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PDAholic:
Thanks, Koksie, good info!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mike freegan:
I can overclock my Wizard to 264mhz with SPB pocketplus. That's plenty to run a snes emulator etc. It is an arse not being able to assign hardware buttons though :/
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] paulthepwner:
I've grabbed the emulators off the ftp, but where do I get roms for games?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PDAholic:
Mike, you're exactly the person I want to talk to. Try a program called aebuttonplus, and you can assign the phone buttons to "virtual buttons" which are recognized by the emulator. It works on my universal, at least, and the button setup on the Wizard is much better than the Universal. Give it a shot and let me know if that helps.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] guyver2077:
I actually meant to say that the layout isnt too good fpr gaming...atleast 4 me
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] supraman:
well with pocket nester. if you turn off GAPI landscape mode works fine and you can assign keyboard buttons to whatever you want.

as of right now, to make it usable also turn on alternate scanning of keys for multiple button presses.

knowing both of these makes games "playable" but not nearly as nice as a real joystick.

our best bet is to bug any developer or possibly collectively pay together to have some fix all the open source emus out there.

landscape Is by far the best way to game on this bad boy. but from eperience the keypad is lackluster AT best for controlling games.

right now the only emu out that supports keypad/landscape mode is pocket nester.

turn off gapi in video settings. and turn on alternate key scanning for best possie controls on device.

sorry for misspellings/grammar errors, I am posting this from my wizard.
[Xperia Z1 General] Kirkymole:
I was wandering around the city yesterday with the girlfriend and we happened across a few shops such as Game, CEX and the usual market stall type places full of cheap mobile phone cases. I noticed that the shelves are stacked with Z1 handsets! More than any other handset, aside from Blackberry Curve 8520s of course ;)

What's going on? I asked one bloke in game and he said people just don't like the Z1. Hence so many selling them at a terribly cheap price just to be rid of them!

Any thoughts on this?

I love my Z1 and having come from the Z I think Sony are playing with the big boys now. They lagged a bit in the past, but my god they came back in true Sony style and created a range of phones that top everything on my list of what I want in a handset. Anyone who parts with a Sony is a fool in my eyes.
[Xperia Z1 General] KarimSalloum:
For any average user the Z1 is a fantastic device. The only fib I have with it is the screen and the bezels: screen is not 2014-standards at all (viewing angles mainly) and the bezels are just way too large for a 5" phone. Otherwise great device.
[Xperia Z1 General] dagrim1:
Aren't they trying to sell them before the Z2 is released? Anyway, dunno... I don't see the Z1 a whole lot around me but those who have it are happy. But I can imagine it's too big for many people, too clunky.

The screen might not be the best but it ain't all that bad, and especially when not putting another screen right next to it I don't really notice it or am not bothered with it at all.

Here it's still selling for a minimum of about 470 euro's, not extremely cheap (the G2 16GB and S4 are about a 100 euros cheaper for example)
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
Sony gave them a headache with releasing Z2 and they ,probably, now want to sell all they have...

Z1 is best device I ever had or have and it's not big.

That all depends on subject opinion...

We will have to wait Z2 to come in stores so I wouldn't sell my device for a low price...

When Z3 comes I'll leave my Z1 for dev purpose ...and because I really like it...
[Xperia Z1 General] dagrim1:
Sure, it's all relative but it's surely bigger then it's 'rival devices'. Both in volume and in weight.. But I can imagine people being a bit put off by the large bezels and all...Especially compared to the LG G2 for example.
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
Could be...don't know for others but I don't care for that...

For v1 is OK, I'm waiting for v3 - that'll be the monster ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] mm79k:
I am ditching as soon as the new HTC comes out.

This is mainly due to huge bezels and terrible viewing angles. And I might never buy a sony phone again because of bootloader/root BS!
[Xperia Z1 General] deconfrost:
Where can i pick up a cheap cheap z1 with unlocked bootloader if thats the case? They still well over 300 euro here
[Xperia Z1 General] y2grae:
I really hope a lot of people sell their Z1, don't buy sony and stop making this forum an ad nauseum "boo hoo camera, viewing angles sob sob" place.

seriously, the phone is a beast, takes great pics (I am a photographer with a DSLR, and on holiday in Rome recently found it easier to use Z1 and got GREAT results than using my dslr.

size - fine for me

bezels - no issue

screen angle - say what now?

I honestly think that some people have either 1) got a dodgy model or 2) messed with settings and refused to admit it.

but on a serious note, please sell your phones, get a different manufacturer altogether and get off my otherwise happy forum
[Xperia Z1 General] fl4r3:
It probably is due to the upcoming Z2 so people selling before the value drops too much.

I switched from the Z to the Z1 so even I'm a bit annoyed to see another flagship so soon (but not that p'ed off since its not a major update).

For me the Z1 is one of the best phones I had so far....but dont enjoy it nearly as much as my previous phones all thanks to the locked bootloader. That is my biggest issue with the phone as I can live with poor viewing angles (I rarely look at my phone at extreme angles) and the huge bezels (gives me something to hold without touching the actual screen). Second time I've had a permanently locked bootloader and it stings!!!

I would have sold my Z1 already but I've slightly grazed the metal frame already so exchange price wouldn't be that great.

I actually recommended the Z1 compact to my sister so these are still good phones...just not for me.

Moral of the story: I have to make sure the bootloader is 100% unloackable on the next phone I get.
[Xperia Z1 General] Petaaaaah:
Next year the Z4 will be the beast! ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] Kirkymole:
Interesting answers. All very valid and sensible. Seems a shame such a beautifully made handset it being almost sidelined for something that may OR may not be the mutts Nutts. End of the day we still don't have the full picture on the Z2, look at all the niggling little problems the 1 had/has.
[Xperia Z1 General] atomskasarma:
Well, that's great news! For normal people, at least.

I bought my z1 for 360€, 3 months old, regular 2 year guarantee, without a scratch! The person that used it stated it to be to complicated an bought iPhone 5! Bad for her, great for me.

Xperia tablet Z sgp321 was bought the same way last year for 380€ just 2 weeks after European premiere. Man was ipad user for years, asked friends for the best and most expensive premium Android tablet, tried it for 2 weeks, tried to sell it for better price but couldn't as it was already to expensive for used stuff. I ran by luck at him and couldn't believe, thought it was maybe tablet S, but no, everything was regular and I got the tablet I could never aford at full price thanks to another iPhone/Ipad user!?

So, long live Sony mobile and Apple users!

On the other side, people really don't know what Sony is until they put hands on it. Clean close-to-nexus-line interface, extremely stylish and modern hw, no stupid bugs like in Samsung touchwizzed apps, no ugly dropdown menus like on LG, no undeinstallable bloatware like In Samsung or HTC, everything works and looks just like it was supposed to be.
[Xperia Z1 General] KarimSalloum:
Just because you decided to 'ignore' these issues doesn't mean they don't exist. The viewing angles are bad on all the Z1's, so unless your model is custom made, there IS an issue. If it bothers you or not, is another question. But the problem is there.

I like the phone a lot, don't get me wrong, I think that Sony would do much better in the market if they didn't have to worry about these IP-certifications - it's a great feature to have, but in the end, if they can shave off a few millimeters of bezel and eliminate these water flaps, the phone would be much nicer to use. I've tried every manufacturer and the only one that seems to care about build materials and quality is Sony, that's why I'm sticking with them - with all these quick releases (Z, Z1, Z2) it seems they are always trying to improve an already fantastic device when they hear complaints. The Z2 has less bezels and a phenomenal screen from what I hear.

Hi,

I'm trying to update my HTC Desire S to the official Android 4.0 (HTCDev). When I'm trying to install it through RUU, it won't go past the 'Sending' part. My phone shows the grey HTC logo but that's it.

I tried 2 different PC's, different USB-ports... I installed all drivers (installed HTC Sync) but it's still not working.

****LOCKED****

Aug 22 2011

What's wrong?
[HTC Desire S] Aquous:
You could try flashing it manually. Then fastboot will actually talk to you as to what it's doing so that we can see where exactly things hang up.

Extract the rom.zip from the RUU (run the RUU, look in your temp folders, find the rom.zip, drag it someplace safe), then run the following fastboot commands:

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip rom.zip

It should take approximately three minutes to upload the zip to the phone.

Be sure to post the output of the commands here, and note that while I've successfully done this once on my phone, I can't make any guarantees that this will work out just fine on your phone. (That said, I expect no problems.)

(should it actually succeed this time around, you can reboot your phone using 'fastboot reboot' and enjoy your new ROM)

Note, however, that the official ICS RUU has some bugs and you'll have to root your device to fix them. This means unlocking through htcdev. It is recommended that you downgrade and S-OFF while you still can, and then flash a fixed custom ICS ROM instead of using the official RUU.
[HTC Desire S] SKENER:
Do you have right RUU? First check CID of phone then find RUU that match your CID.Check guides here.Be careful RUU change all in your phone and that mean radio hboot ril and system.

If you don't have warranty anymore you can unlock it and do whatever you want with guides here on XDA.

Scan it only on PC with a good antivirus. Meanwhile make sure that you have connected your device to ur pc only.

Way before that use xplore or any file explorers and make sure your files are still on the device/card.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] gino_76ph:
Hi.

I've recently bought a SIM-free Galaxy S3 LTE (GT-i9305) smartphone online. I've since changed the battery to an "extended life" 2550mAh one.

I still find the battery draining quick. At 6am its fully charged then by 10pm its down to less than 10%. On my other thread i indicated my normal everyday routine and what i use my phone for. I have had numerous Android phones in the past so i know which ones to turn off, etc.

I understand Chrome can be a drain on the battery so i have disabled it. I have heard of Knox (anti-virus/security) affects it as well but i am not able to uninstall it. I have installed a battery-saving/monitoring app Greenify but i feel it doesn't do anything. Sync is also turned off on my email and social stuff and i put my phone on Airplane mode if i'm at work as the signal tends to be almost zero inside the building.

I also understand the battery tends to improve after a few cycles of charges.

So, Is there anything else i'm missing here?

Please advice. Thanks.
