hmm, maybe there's a little different hardware revision in xperia sp?

currently there's only 2 people reporting clock bug, me and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52559558&postcount=279

btw [MENTION=5579865]MrSteve555[/MENTION]

can you turn off then boot to CWM philz touch? Then make a nandroid backup?

the buggy phone will make a backup with wrong time and date.

EDIT:

try go to Airplane Mode, then turn off your phone
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:

Maybe it is hardware revison related. I didn't try taking backup in PhilZ, but when I make a backup in CWM, I get wrong date and time... [MENTION=5765508]bagyusz[/MENTION]

When I searched through the chargemon file invoking recovery(I think it was XZDualRecovery for SP), I found some lines related to fixing time and date. It was working there. Maybe you should look into it?

Apparently the bug has disappeared for me when I have flashed cm 11 over skim Kat. Strange.

I just tested and date persisted over reboot.

Hi Guys,

Have you experienced proximity sensor bug with this ROM? I have never had any issues with it on stock based firms. Yesterday I had a 10-minute-call and at the end my screen did not switch back so I was not able to end the call. When the called party ended the call everything went back to normal ie. my screen switched on again. Strange. No issues so far beside this one. I installed it yesterday, I am testing the battery backup now.
[Xperia SP Android Development] orangpelupa:
i never used my phone to call :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] vieose:
Well, cant play games which are proxymity sensor relates, need a fix ofc.

Does anyone know how to make the battery icon recolourable through modules like tinted status bar? (as it is hard to see on light colours)

If not, is it possible to hide the battery icon altogether?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
settings -> interface -> battery icons enables you to colour it. And you can choose to hide it under the icon option.

The only other way would be perhaps gravity box although ive found thats quite buggy and can cause issues.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Fat_boy555:
Isn't gravity box for pure asop?
[Xperia SP Android Development] 92jacko:
Thanks for the reply.

Changing the colour options in Settings > Interface changes the battery icon to another static colour, Tinted Statusbar is still not able to change the colour dynamically depending on the colour of the action bar.

I do not see the option to hide the icon (I'm running latest version of this ROM)

Lastly, with gravity box, I've found that it does not detect the original battery icon, then adds its own battery icon (resulting in two battery icons)

WHat does this step ''5: Flashtool: installed on this C5303_12.1.A.1.201_FW.ftf'' means?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Oblox:
Is means use flashtool to flash the C5303_12.1.A.1.201_FW.ftf kernel file. If you're already on 201 then you dont really need to but it cant hurt.

[MX Player] poror:
Sometimes when I try to play a .mkv file, the H/W+ decoder stops working after 1-5 seconds and MX switches to the S/W decoder. Also, when I want to fast forward in the video, it also switches back to the H/W+ decoder, while working fine before. It varies from DVD quality mkvs to direct BluRay rips with DTS or AC3 sound. I can't use the H/W decoder on mkv files that are streamed from a HTTP url and de S/W decoder works only for the DVD quality ones.

It does not happen to all my videos. If I re-encode them with programs like handbrake, the problem is gone, but so is the quality. Besides it takes loads of time to encode. When downloaded to my tablet or sd card, I can play them fine in H/W mode (S/W audio for the DTS track), but that's not a solution. My network connection is also not a problem. My tablet can handle a 25Mbit/s bitrate on 5GHz mode and up to 1080p is not a problem.

It might be a video/encoding problem, because when I try to fast forward some of these files, I get gray blocks on my screen for a couple of seconds, before it continues, the same as sometimes on my PC. However, the Mediainfo of a working and a broken file look exactly the same.

The source of my mkv files is my WD 3TB NAS so they're being streamed from a local HTTP url. The device I'm trying to play the mkvs on is a Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 with Android 2.3.6 and MX Player uses the latest custom codes from the site. It's not rooted and I don't think it's possible either at this moment.

Is this a problem with MX player, my device or my video?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Can you post a logcat?
[MX Player] poror:
I've got 4 logs, the first and fourth are from a mkv file that only plays for the first few seconds and then switches to the S/W decoder. The second and third have fast forward issues, after a few times or at the first scroll forward, the H/W+ decoder stops and switches to the S/W decoder. The video also starts over.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sobaro:
i found the solution

You have to root your phone and install Terminal Emulator from Google Play.

Open terminal emulator and type as ;

su

rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

reboot

your phone will restart

You now should not see the that message anymore. Its because of an EFS corruption. ( Thanks to yesilcin*com) for exact solution.

Hope it helps!!!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CesarRaimon:
Ok so I just got the One M7 and I hate Sense, like really hate it so I went on to install CM11 via CyanogenMod Installer (Like MKBHD did, that's why I thought I should) and I did everything it said, Opened up the app on my phone followed the instructions until it said "Continue installation on your computer" and I did, when I opened the CM Installer however, it never detects my phone! I don't have HTC Drivers nor HTC Sync manager, but I heard that it isn't needed, help
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
if your phone must communicate with your pc at some point, you must have the drivers installed even if its not specified

Btw this is very simple to flash CM using a custom recovery if the installer doesn't work.

install the drivers using this guide:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CesarRaimon:
woah thanks for the quick response, I'll try that and report shortly, thanks again
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
The problem using the CM installer is that you don't have any option to revert back to stock which is possible when you flash the rom from recovery. (you can make a nandroid backup before flashing the rom)

So if you need to send your phone to repair under warranty, can you return to stock? Is there a ruu for your phone if you don't have a backup?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CesarRaimon:
I'm really not willing to go back to stock, and the warranty is already expired so I got nothing to lose really, don't know what RUU is
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
ok its up to you :angel:

btw I like this name.... Raymond ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CesarRaimon:
Thanks! Like the name Alray!

And what's RUU btw, any links would be much appreciated
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
RUU is for Rom Update Utility. Its the most common way to restore HTC devices back to stock from your computer. It can also be used to updated a phone if something is messed up and prevent the ota update to install. It flashes/update stock hboot, stock recovery, stock radio, stock software (rom).... stock everything.... But to use a ruu you must find one that is specifically for your phone model, software, CID and MID.

RUU for the htc one M7 can be found here http://www.htc1guru.com/

[Security Discussion] duckredbeard:
Someone I work with his come to me for help because he knows I'm all into android gadgets. I have rooted my last two phones within hours of getting them and have become a flashaholic. Always messing with my devices.

He has a Samsung Captivate that he has "retired" and I'm interested in buying it for a few purposes. Unfortunately, he let his (adult) son play with it and the lock screen pattern is set. He doesn't know the pattern or the google account password associated with the account on the device. (When he upgraded and moved out of the device he had to create a new google account.)

He wants to look into the device one more before he turns it over to me. (I will wipe it and root it for my purposes.) Is there a way to get past the lock screen without the complete reset in recovery?

[Security Discussion] 74NK:
Just flash the current rom. Small details might be lost like the settings or maybe the contacts but all media and documents will still be there. Other than that you'll have to struggle. ALOT. Maybe someone has a simple method, if so I'd love to hear about it. GL

So I upgraded to the latest mr clean rom and did some tweaks with the registry wizard. I was playing around with it for a while and turned it off to charge overnight. I wake up and try and turn it on and nothing. I've tried soft reset, and hard reset and it doesn't turn on or do anything. When I plug in my charger the light on my phone doesn't even come on. PLEASE HELP. WHAT CAN I DO!!!. :cry:

This exact same thing happened to me last week. I played with it everday hoping it would turn back on, but nothing worked. Out of nowhere, it powered back up after 7 days of being non-responsive.

So I would just suggest waiting it out and making sure it is fully charged. Sorry I don't have any better solutions, but this is what worked for me.

Charge it with the charger, not usb, mine did this and I thought it was dead but it's probably just a dead battery. For some reason it can self discharge to the point where the USB charger can't recharge it.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dew1989:
I fixed it :D, What I did was zap the battery with a 9v battery in 3 sec intervals, I did this about 5 times, then I pluged my phone into the charger and turned it on, the 9v gave it enough juice to boot up and the usb took over from there. So to everyone out there who is having this same problem, try this but don't over zap, check your battery with a multimeter.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] maltloaf:
my wizard wont turn on this morning. I just tested my battery and it's at 3.1 volts (not 3.7 as stated on the label)

Would your method work do you think ? My mains charger is at my girlfriends house i rely on usb here
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] F*SH:
Yeah I've had this issue before and I have it again. Last time it self-started after about an hour just sitting on the desk. This time it's taking longer, and is still out. I'm charging it as we speak - no light but I'm hopeful.

So this is a battery fault then? I guess that's a slight relief - I've already sent one in for repair and I can't do it again, as I'm on the far side of the channel.. :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] maltloaf:
ive never been backwards in trying these things out so i gave it a go. Slightly different method (a little safer).

Found an old 5v 2A charger lying around bared off the wires and used my meter to identify the positive and ground cores.

tested the battery again.. 3.1volts

applied the wires of the charger to the terminals for 5 secs

tested battery.. 3.25 volts

re applied wires for 5 secs

tested battery.. 3.45 volts

re applied wires for 5 secs

tested battery.. 3.52 volts

put in the wizard.. boot screen.

I think i have a seperate problem as i now have a red flashing light and then it locks up around 20 secs later but im a little further on at least !

cheers,

malty
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] maltloaf:
all sorted here. I hadnt quite enough juice in the battery. Re applied the charger until the battery measured 3.62V Booted ok to the point then that the usb charger took over.

many thanks to the original poster
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] F*SH:
You saying that giving it brief jolts helps restore the battery? Given the time you applied it for, I can't really think it's being recharged by this action...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] maltloaf:
its a very temporary thing like a 'kick' and the extra voltage isnt sustained very long. It worked. thats all that matters
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] F*SH:
Yeah. But I'm reluctant to pump power into an electrical device without knowing why. In my case, the battery is giving a steady 4.2V output, which should be enough, no? In fact, the battery seems to be healthy in every way possible, and a few minutes before it died was reporting a ~80% charge...

I'll try kicking it though :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] maltloaf:
4.2V is over voltage but yea that should be enough. sounds like you may have a more serious problem
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] F*SH:
Yeah, so do I. Battery was unaffected by a kick, output is still at the rated 4.2V, well above the needed 3.7V.

So, what would make an apparently healthy phone sporadically fail? It wasn't dropped or exposed to anything. I had it, on, on my desk. The screen turned off after 30 seconds, as usual, and then wouldn't turn back on. Soft and hard resets both fail to invoke any response whatsoever. No charging light.

The only thing that's different is that I did an ActiveSync for the first time in weeks, on a new computer, a few hours before it died. For which I'm extremely thankful, as I'd got a lot of data building up without a backup until then. But I'm doubtful that the sync has anything to do with the failure.

These symptoms occured before, a month or so ago, but the phone revived on its own after an hour or so. This one has been out two days now, which worries me.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] speedme:
I have had the same problem last week and I used a 9V battery briefly onto the + and - of the phone-battery.

this just gave the phone-battery enough juice to start up and I was able to normally charge the phone again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Tip-Ex:
Old Trick but !!!Caution!!!

What you guys are doing is reviving a deeply discharged battery.

I frequently do that to normal AA 1.2v NiCd or NiMH Rechargeble battery that have not been used for a long time. When they measure about 0.2v you just jolt a 10v current through it for 1-3 seconds and then carry on charging as normal. If it does not come right, throw it away or use it as a paperweight

Problem comes in with the type of battery you do it with. I had a Lithium - Ion battery explode in my hands once.. (Thank god I wear glasses) I only had a few cuts on my hands and my shirt was ruined so I came off very lucky.

With lithium-Ion batteries one should be very carefull when attemting to boost it when deeply discharged... They dont like it very much.

My 10cents worth
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xvemokidvx:
my phone is doing the same. it was exposed to very intense sunlight today I work construction in AZ (110+ F) and left it in my car for about 8 hours. so ill have my girl pick up a 9v today. did you guys just attach paperclips to the + and - ad just tough it to the battery?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ND4SPD:
My phone did the same a little while ago. I left mine in the wall charger for a little while. Every few hours though, I would try to load into bootloader. Once, I was lucky enough and it worked. Then it started charging on it's own.

Also, on a very different topic, to the people who "jump started it with a 9V battery, would this work with any cell phone battery once you know the two terminals? I have an old MPx200 running WM5 with a dead battery that for some reason I would like to use again.

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BBowermaster:
It should. The point is that the charging unit in the phone is not strong enough to charge the battery that is fully/deeply discharged. I bought the 8125 on Ebay with a spare battery. The spare battery did not work nor would it charge in the phone. But I bought a cradle with the spare battery charger in the back and the battery charged right up.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Daveyk:
I had this problem recently and followed a post I can't find now...and it worked! What I did...I had an extra charger...cut wire to phone charge plug, separated, and stripped down insulation about 1/8 inch...and then taped wire ends to the battery keeping + and - wires to + and - as marked on the battery... I believe the + wire tends to have a faint line on it. Anyway after 1/2 hour I put battery in and had plenty of charge to start it up.

I think the wizard just won't charge unless it gets far enough into boot so battery requires external charge up.
