[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarvpriya:
i had the nandroid backup of the last rom,even after the restore the backup the problem were still there and if i root my phone now,i'll have the same problem again
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxsam4:
That's kinda weird.

This might be caused by an app/virus which needs root access to work :p

Check your root access logs :)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxsam4:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarvpriya:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaimeletelierhay:
I decided to root my handset yesterday, all went well and that handset has been rooted successfully. I've kept it entirely stock, no ROM or kernels. I am experiencing what seems to be a connectivity issue. If I connect to WiFi my signal bars turn white, indicating a connection to the Google servers however, when I disconnect my signal bars turn orange.....full HSDPA signal but are orange.....stranger still that I am actually able to connect to the internet with no issues. I've searched and people are saying that the orange signal bars indicate no connection to Google servers and in turn this means no internet connection? Does anybody know of a fix or have an explanation? All was well before I rooted and unlocked the boot loader.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Rooting can't cause this. Can you receive gmail?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaimeletelierhay:
That's exactly what I thought! I've rooted handsets before and never had an issue connecting to Google servers etc. Yeah I can receive gmail, but I need to do it manually, it doesn't seem to be pushed through like before. I thought at first it was an issue with the APN but I've checked and reset it to default, still getting these damn orange bars. The arrows at the side suggest I am sending/receiving data though......I've attached a PIC.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicko1975:
I thought the orange bars there indicate that you're roaming.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigbailey1986:
Orange bars means that its not connected to Google servers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamepois0n:
Orange means you are not connected to the internet.

Try reset your wireless router/setting.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard_cantwell:
Orange bars means that you are not connected to Google servers and cant receive notifications, it does not necessarily mean that you are not connected to the internet.

Try doing a factory reset.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaco81:
go to accounts

remove your google account

once u do it may ask to enter a backup account

re enter your google credentials

reboot
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paddington:
If Chaco81's solution works, please let me know.

As several others have mentioned to you, it means you are not connected to Google services. This happens to me randomly, and I have yet to find a solution. Sometimes I just wait it out, and it magically starts working again after a few minutes. Sometimes I reboot, and that seems to work 75% of the time, but because it isn't 100%, it makes me think it's no different than waiting it out, it just makes me feel like I'm doing something. This has happened to me on various ROMs (including stock) on my Nexus 4, Moto X, and Nexus 5. It is very frustrating, and I can't seem to locate a cause or a fool-proof solution other than waiting.

EDIT

I highly discourage doing a factory reset for this problem, especially if you have no backup program like Helium or Titanium. I have never had to do a factory reset for this problem to correct itself, and seeing as it happens to me randomly no matter the device or ROM (and I always do a full wipe moving between ROMS), I do not think this is actually a solution. I think this is just like what I consider rebooting, it doesn't fix the problem, it just adds time in between the problem starting and the problem stopping naturally. Even if it is a 100% sure-fire fix, it will take much longer to reset and fix everything back to how you want it than to just wait it out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigbailey1986:
Easiest way to fix it is to get on a WiFi connection. Once it connects to WiFi Google will sync and then turn off WiFi and you will have white bars. This tends to happen to me when my data coverage is low and speeds are down. I don't think the slow speed is able to reach Google servers thru the downlink. Just my thought but I have no clue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _jordan_:
From the look of your notification shade, you are obviously not using the stock ROM. What else has been done to your device?

Without more info on your phone, its tough to give solutions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaimeletelierhay:
It is completely stock ROM with xposed and gravitybox installed. Apart from that, its pure stock. Even at that the only things I have activated with gravitybox is the notification shade and circle battery mod. Nothing has been touched in way of kernels, radios, WiFi, telephony tweaks etc. Really don't fancy having to reset my device entirely, thanks for the suggestion but I'm not planning on restoring it back and setting it up all over again. As for the WiFi suggestion, it worked for 3min 27sec (yes I timed it) but then, low and behold, the orange bars were back. I've been reading on some Google forums that its an issue in 4.4.2 but it was working fine prior to me rooting. I even put it in to safe mode to see if it was an installed app that was affecting it but that turned up nothing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _jordan_:
^ OK thanks for clarifying. There are many potential reasons for this issue, so it is hard to track down.

Do you have other android devices? Do those work without issue, in your area, over your cellular connection?

If so, the problem isnt related to your Google account, or your cellular carrier, and must be device related.

If its device related, don't do a factory reset. Instead back up everything you care about and flash a factory image.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaimeletelierhay:
The signal actually came back and turned white for the rest of the day. Then it dropped out to orange again. Think I'll hang on to things the way they are right now and persevere with it and hope that 4.4.3 comes with a fix. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
I'm getting the same thing on Sprint too. I wonder if it is a DNS thing?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaimeletelierhay:
I'm on T-Mobile UK, well EE, as it's now known. The issue doesn't SEEM to be affecting things but I honestly can't be sure. In saying that I'm having to manually refresh my gmail and Google now notifications aren't displayed as often as before. There seems to be a few posts online about people with similar issues so there's every chance it is a DNS issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxcar8028:
not sure if this is a cell phone thing because I also get this on my 2013 nexus 7 wifi only and my N5 on T-Mobile. But I still have internet and notifications. I'm starting to think its just google running some kind of maintenance...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaimeletelierhay:
That's interesting......its only been over the past few days. Maybe prepping for the 4.4.3 release, but then again, that's more than likely wishful thinking. Odd how you get it on ur nexus 7 as well as ur nexus 5 on t-mobile
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxcar8028:
yeah, Im running CM11 and stock 4.4.2 rooted, unlocked and with run time ART on N7 and N5. I see this on both ROMs. On stock the icons turns orange for cell and wifi. But on CM11 the wifi icon would change to have a line running through it. I think its the same but with different icons. Both would act the same but both seems to have no advert effect for me tho.

[Xperia SP General] samarth05:
The Customization No. Depends upon the Firmware. Which firmware are you using now currently??
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
Indian version will give you no problem use it
[Xperia SP General] jangid:
im using the latest build nowhich is 12.1.A.1.201 i updated my sp via pc companion... Bt i found this update is nt that much responsive.. Sobim thinking to root my device... Nd install any other version of android? I still shocked i thought it is 1.7 ghz dual core bt it lags...

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

Don't you feel 4.3 the latest firmware.is quite laggy.. Hey i want a responsive phone and bugfree i dont care which build is that.. So in xperia sp which firmware is the most responsive and bugless?

Device using white xperia sp
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
4.3 works good for me for normal use but heavy gaming lags little. Android 4.1.2 firmware .254 or just root ur phone take TA backup unlock ur bootloader and install CM11 you will get best performance but it has some freezing problem which will be fixed soon
[Xperia SP General] jangid:
I like stock rom very much or stock based rom... Bt if i unlocked the bootloader it results in losing my drm keys and warranty!! Which is not good is there any way to to unlock booyloader without losing drm keys?
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
You can take backup of your drm keys using TA backup tool and restore the backup when you want to claim warranty
[Xperia SP General] samarth05:
There are many Stock Based ROMs like eXisten Z Ultra, Ultimate PureXSP, etc. Give them a try if you want more features...;);)

Also You can take backup of your DRM Keys.. Its not that Hard to do..
[Xperia SP General] jangid:
Well thanks! Nd the Firmware you have provided in this thread is prefect? 12.1.A.1.201 ftf c5302.. U guys tested it?
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
Yes perfect no issues just 4.3 bugs which sony provided but good for daily use
[Xperia SP General] samarth05:
Well I didn't find any bugs?? The Ram Management is good and stable battery life.. Screen flickering was a bit problem.. So I turned of the Auto Brightness.. There is no problem in my opinion..
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
Bugs like no be in album, white balance settings resets after reboot but has i said no problem i m using it to perfect for daily use
[Xperia SP General] jangid:
Hey guyz i successfully downloaded the firmware bt i want to backup my drm keys... Umm i searched a little and i found first i need to root my Device.. But im running on 12.1.A.1.201 and acc to the i must be on. 254 what should i do now.. And is there any way to back up drm keys on 12.1.A.1.201??
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
No u can't root .201 firmware u need to downgrade. Flash .254 firmware root it Backup TA partition then upgrade to .201 via flashtool
[Xperia SP General] samarth05:
Flash Advance Stock Kernel (Unlock Bootloader Needed).

And then flash SuperSU.zip
[Xperia SP General] jangid:
sir okay ..but for flashing the .254 ftf file my sp should be unlocked bootloader .. and im doing this to prevent my drm keys ..and by unlocking im gonna lost them .. can you please refer me a link or thread to guide how to downgrade it without unlocking bootloader
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
Flashing firmware don't require unlock bootloader u can flash any firmware on lock and unlock bootloader too only custom kernel flashing requires unlocked bootloader

Follow this guide to root .254

[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
Root will be lost if u flash .201 but u can now unlock bootloader flash latest firmware and use doomkernel v12 or williams kernel which will give u ability to root and more features
[Xperia SP General] esloded:
12.0.A.2.254 to 12.1.A.1.201??

That is the same info from my SP, i have the 12.0.A.2.254 version, so, i think i can flash this rom. What you think?

I can pass 12.0.A.2.254 to 12.1.A.1.201 directly? without install the 12.1.A.0.266 version?
[Xperia SP General] samarth05:
Ya of course dude, just download this firmware and flash it with flashtool(Backup Your Data First if Needed).
[Xperia SP General] esloded:
:/

flashtool does not recognize that india rom you share :crying:
[Xperia SP General] samarth05:
Please check again and post it.. Download the file correctly and also check that you have installed all the drivers needed.

Check the extension of the file you downloaded is it zip or ftf? If it's zip then rename it to ftf

hey guyz i successfully rooted my phone flashed 12.1.A.1.201 ft you have provided ! this is really gud ! but first time when i updated my phone to this latest firmware via pc companion .. i did not face any screen flickering ! that also lags in multitasking and while installing apps !! .. currently i am using 4.3 12.1.A.1.201 build that you have provided but i found my phone lag sometimes ! i appreciate your work ! can i flash other firmware of same build of different countries ! and if i can use them do you think they are little fast !! plz help
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
Their are no difference in other firmwares just some apps are included
[Xperia SP General] jangid:
on your firmware im also not getting the album update ! but this is not the issue ! it is unresponsive let me flash it again i hope if it runs properly ! using advance kernal which is required for 4.3 rooting thanks to doomkernal !!
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
Use Doomkernel v12 and i got both album and Walkman update i have no problems of lag or unresponsive ui
[Xperia SP General] esloded:
how root 12.1.A.1.201 easy??

How you root the 12.1.A.1.201?? i see it but is so complicated.

Another easy way please?
[Xperia SP General] samarth05:
Unlock your bootloader, install advance stock kernel v2 and install SuperSU from CWM.
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
Advance stock kernel v2 has ram bug
[Xperia SP General] jangid:
it depends if you have unlocked boot loader you can try doomlord's way ! using advance kernel v02 ... and you can use v12 kernel !! then flash updatesu in recovery !!

but if you have locked bootloader and you dont want to unlock it .. then there is only one way that you have quoted !
[Xperia SP General] samarth05:
Well, then you can use DoomKernel instead of Advance Stock Kernel..
[Xperia SP General] jangid:
Well i do also think and experiencing this doomkernal v12 makes my xperia sp very responsive as compared to earlier on advance kernel.. But still i found phone has lag while doing multi tasking screen goes black... And everytime when i play a song vol is very low.. Everytime i have to increase it on walkman! having a lot fc on settings apps.. Games! Do you think flashing a other ftf other thn this will make any difference.. Sorry for my bad english :)
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
Will u update the Op with latest .205 firmware? And please upload it to Google drive :p
[Xperia SP General] samarth05:
Sorry Dude but you will have to wait for sometime. My internet broadband s**ks and also haven't received the update yet, I will do it ASAP.:good:

Okay, Okay I got the notification, I will do it ASAP.
[Xperia SP General] tomxii:
I got the update and finished installing it and i found it to be extremely smoother but still not a 100%. There are a few mini lags at times.

how about you guys? is it fully smooth? or am i the only one here :crying: or am i overreacting? :confused:

Edit: Not getting the 'album', 'movies' & 'walkman' update in the update centre. it just says everything is up to date.. is it suppose to be like this or do i need to flash again............ >__>
[Xperia SP General] samarth05:
You're right. The Sony Apps are outdated and unable to update through Update Center. Maybe manually can be done.
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
Updated to .205? :D
[Xperia SP General] samarth05:
Ya, Uploaded the file 23%.. Will take some time.. ;)
[Xperia SP General] tomxii:
Phew I thought I was the only one. Hmm I think I'm going to wait a few days to see if the app update arrives. Since software updates arrive at different times due to carrier and region difference maybe app updates also arrive at different times for different versions of the firmware :confused:

So how is your device's fluidity? :silly:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiM72NiK:
Hi guys.

everyone knows the contrast and colors on z1 are really low and colors are washed out.

I have a ASUS MeMo pad HD7.the tablet has an app which edits contrast and color temp and saturation by the name of splendid.

is there any app like that which can be used on z1 or can it be ported from that to z1?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1nny:
The new 4.4.2 KitKat update for the Xperia Z1 (14.3.A.0.681) includes a "white balance" option in the display settings. This will probably fulfill your needs.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiM72NiK:
thanks for your reply. but that feature only changes the temperature.but this feature I say, enhances the vividness,color saturation,contrast,hue and more..it works with colors.enhances them perfect.but the white balance as of its name,only focuses on the white balance and nothing more
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1nny:
In that case there's one option left I believe, and it's on available if you have an unlocked bootloader. Recently [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] managed to get LCD Colour Control working on the Xperia Z1. You'll have to flash his kernel though which can be found here.

I'm not sure if this will (eventually?) offer the options you want but these are the only 2 screen colour management tweaks there are at the moment.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiM72NiK:
great answer.I'm using romaur 6.3 with doomkernel v11... but how should I reach this feature? where should I find it?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1nny:
As the developer stated:

The developer of "Pimp My Z1" is also looking into adding this functionality I believe. Other than that, just use Google to find an app that is able to adjust it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiM72NiK:
I downloaded the fauxclock.it has the feature.but its just white balance nothing more. :(
