--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is very much true. It is known problem as well. Though this problem accrues due to condensators that are located under the LCD causing the interference with LCD. At the same time, when it is determined by the spectrum analyzer that sound output through headphones output is higher at 16-18 kHz as described in original posting by nomad_irk, that eliminates faulty condensators and speakers. Unless the high pitch noise nomad_irk hears is not through headphones or speakers but actually from the device it self. The sound output is controlled by sound distribution module (hardware) and by the sound controller drivers like sdnll.dll and etc. Therefore makes it possible to adjust the sound quality by 3rd party software. So the obvious steps here are, 1st to determine the source of the signal, whether it it’s the noise interference from the condensators under the LCD or the audio output egg. headphone jack or speakers and it’s a sound distribution hardware module problem (which is unlikely) or it’s the drivers (it would be the rom problem) or it’s a 3rd party software that messes with sound output. 2nd. If it’s the condensators that cause interference, the only way to fix this problem, is just to get rid of the device. Exchanging the device will not help. It’s the combination of incompatible LCD and condensators used that cause the frequency interference. On the other hand, if it’s the software and drivers problem, just either try resetting the device, (to get rid of problem software) and if that doesn’t help, perform a rom upgrade and hope that drivers are updated.

By the way, HP and O2 Atom are the same devices.

Re: noises

I've opened the ATOM. There's no capacitors that can make interferencing. Any way, under LCD there's shield covered elements(and capacitors too). 2nd: If there's interferency, why i can registred it on headphones output?

The truth is out there (c) X-Files :)

А теперь по-русски:

Нет там таких ёмкостей, которые бы свистели. В любом случае, элементы(и ёмкости) закрыты экраном, сам дисплей тоже обклеен фольгой - нечему там интерференсить. Свист явно в звуковом тракте(о чём я говорил выше). Если бы была интерференция, то свист был бы только слышим, но не регистрировался бы на выходе на гарнитуру анализатором спектра.

Приедет мой зверёк из москвы, я его специально открою и сфотаю, чтобы все увидели, о чём я говорю :)

Re: noises

Yes the Atom and HP are the same device but not one HP has been reported with the noise, so HP or Quanta have corrected this. O2 have far too many Atoms and Exec's distributed and probably in stock to fix or even bother fixing them, I have had two Exec's and two Atom's replaced and the replaced devices still squeal. I am going to contact Consumer Protection Agency with all the details I have collected pressing the main issue of distributing a faulty product knowingly. They cannot deny it, the high pitch noise is definately bad for your hearing when your ear is pressed against the device, so unless O2 give me a full refund I will do my best to make life very difficult for them. Anybody else interested in getting refunded for a faulty crapy product that cannot be fixed can PM me to discuss it further.

Re: noises

Hi homer285,

I too have the same stupid noise. Mine is at the service centre now for the 4th times since I bought it back in late Feb. What a big mistake in buying that crap!!! If you are contacting Consumer Protection Agency and need another person with the same issue, let me know. I am also thinking about contacting them myself.

bad sound in atom exec

I have the sam problem and i think there is no way to fix it .if you are contacting Consumer Protection Agency and need another person with the same issue, let me know. I am also thinking about contacting them myself.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] 100:
You saying it is 18-20KHz? Which one?

How on earth did you measure it with a spectrum analyser (and a microphone?).

Will try with my atom and my lab's spect analyser if you could tell me how ...

I am still thinking its just a LED chargepump cap...

Thx..

[Shield Q&A] monster@8020:
I have just purchased the NVIDIA SHIELD (running kitkat) I am very shocked and disappointed at the poor emulator performance as compared with the jxd s7800b.

I originally bought it maily for emulation however when running the NES.emu emulator purchased from Google play there is a lot of frame skips and poor performance. Things get even worse when setting the frame skip to 0, the shield just cannot cope, however this is not an issue on the jxd s7800b.

I would have imagined that since the shield is supposed to be more powerful, emulators would run without a hitch but obviously not even epse runs no better on the shield than it does on the jxd s7800b

Has anyone come across this issue? Is it possible that my shield is faulty (I am really thinking on returning the damn thing, waste of money)
[Shield Q&A] Kite-G:
You should try downgrading to Jellybean. Maybe that could help? (If its possible even)

I don't have a shield, literally I'll be buying it today. I've seen videos of PPSSPP running perfectly fine on it, and if im not mistaking that emulator is more demanding than NES.

Also what antutu scores are you getting?
[Shield Q&A] monster@8020:
I got an antutu score of 38470, the shield should be able to handle the nes emulator without any issues (jsx s7800b which is inferior has no problems at all). going to try and see if I can put jelly bean back
[Shield Q&A] Kite-G:
Those benchmarks are fine, the average Shield scores. Well, just thinking, maybe you should tweak the emulator settings or the performance settings. But maybe its due to the KitKat update. If you do downgrade to jellybean, let me know how it runs afterwards.
[Shield Q&A] uoykcuf86:
Kit Kat is the problem, I can confirm this because im a user from the beginning of the Shields life cycle. i went through with the Kit Kat update and regretted it badly! not only are there slowdowns in emulation but some apps can no longer be moved or ran from SD. Downgrading is quite easy if you CWM installed though.
[Shield Q&A] monster@8020:
Yeah thanks I have now successfully downgraded back to Jelly Bean OTA 68. Following the steps below (very useful):

https://forums.geforce.com/default/...ield-kitkat-ota-77-poor-performance/?offset=2

The performance issues seems to have gone, additionally I have just performed an Antutu benchmark test i got a higher score of 3912 which is now higher when compared to KitKat where I got 38470 before. So it looks like KitKat is definitely having an impact on performance.
[Shield Q&A] nex86:
I'd downgrade if there is a way to run Half Life 2 or Portal on Jelly Bean.

But right now, I don't want to miss those games on Shield.
[Shield Q&A] Evo_Shift:
Is there a way to stop the shield from bugging me about updates? I have downgraded to Jelly Bean for this peformance reason but don't want to be bugged about updating or forced to update.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] elboss:
Good Luck

Press power vol up and down at the same time. Use ap fast boot mode and then download rsd lite install it. Know this is the important part. For the rsd to flash without giving error you need to download the correct firmware depending on your model. You need to take in consideration that if your phone was in android 4.1.2 you need to install firmware with android 4.1.2 if you try to install 4.0.4 it will give an error. Hope I helped you any question message me.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H2Oxide:
Hi there,

I recently got a used Xperia U. It's on ics ICS 6.1.1.B.1.54 Kernel. I'm using CM11 on my HTC One S and I thought that using a custom ROM on the Xperia U would probably get some more speed out of it. Being on HTC, I'm used to doing this through a custom recovery (TWRP).

With all the different topics around, I soon felt a bit lost. I managed to unlock the bootloader using the Sony website and this tutorial. That worked fine. The next task in my mind was getting a custom recovery on the Xperia U. Following the information in this topic I thought that flashing a kernel with a custom recovery would be the thing to do. I looked in the U development thread and flash this kernel. This is the output of that proces:

~/XDA/XPERIA U$ sudo fastboot flash boot keiran-recovery-st25.elf
sending 'boot' (9239 KB)...
(bootloader) USB download speed was 19507kB/s
OKAY [ 0.502s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) Flash of partition 'boot' requested
(bootloader) S1 partID 0x00000003, block 0x0000d000-0x00014fff
(bootloader) Erase operation complete, 0 bad blocks encountered
(bootloader) Flashing...
(bootloader) Flash operation complete
OKAY [ 0.814s]
finished. total time: 1.316

I felt the phone buzzing once, and that was it. It seems to be dead now. Connecting the phone with USB while holding down the volume + or - buttons doesn't seem to do anything (no blue or green led coming on).

I would appreciate any help on getting the phone unbricked and advice on how to get a CM11 rom on this phone, preferably through the use of TWRP.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H2Oxide:
An update.

I didn't notice this yet but in the top right corner of the Xperia U the notification led is burning red when I connect the phone via USB to a PC (under Windows. I had the phone connected and I wasn't really paying attention until I noticed that the led bar was on in green. It seems a lot like this problem, but I'm not sure what to do.

When the green bar comes on Flashtool seems to detect the phone as can be seen in the attached picture.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryu--X:
i don't understand very well...

you want your phone to be unbricked , or you just want have cm11 on it ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H2Oxide:
I need my phone unbricked. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] StinkyToilet:
You have flashed a recovery image to your boot partition. Download a kernel, maybe this? Phantom Kernel and flash via fastboot > fastboot flash boot <kernelfile>
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H2Oxide:
Ah! I see that now! I thought it was a kernel WITH recovery and that was just the Sony way of doing things.

I like your suggestion of flashing, the only problem is I cant get in flash or fastboot mode. My question would be if that is related to flashing the recovery in the wrong place or if it is a different problem, maybe battery related.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] StinkyToilet:
Yeah, you flashed the recovery to the partition where kernel should be, so your phone can't boot. Can it be detected with flashtool or adb?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H2Oxide:
So that is what is puzzling me. I flashed a recovery image at the boot partition :silly:, but now I can't get into neither fastboot mode (blue led) nor flash mode (green led) by connecting the phone with USB and holding volume up or down.

Did this happen by flashing an image in the wrong place? That sounds strange... Fact is I can't get into fastboot mode so flashing is kinda hard. Every now and then when the phone is connected to a PC the green led comes on and flashtool seems to detect the phone, but that is only for a short while.

About the kernel you suggested, how do I flash it? It comes as a zip. I'm used to flashing boot.img to the boot partition with fastboot or installing a zip through TWRP. This zip contains a .elf file and a META folder.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] StinkyToilet:
Fastboot supports flashing ELF and IMG files. But, I see, that you can't enter fastboot or flashmode. I'll find out another option...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H2Oxide:
Ah, I see... .elf is just another extension. I come from HTC and that is .img from what I know. If you could find another way, that would be great. I greatly appreciate your help. My thought was that, maybe, the battery is dead and it won't charge without proper software on the phone... I ordered a wall battery charger just in case.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] StinkyToilet:
No, that shouldn't be battery problem... But that's a software damage and wrong kernel will not ruin the battery charging process. If there's no other way, you will need to bring your phone to Sony service center... :(

EDIT: I think your device is powered on (but you don't know beacuse the screen is black but actually is a kernel loop or kernel panic). Try holding power button and volume up until it vibrates more than 3 times? (I forgot maybe 5, or just 4?) Then, try to enter fastboot mode or flash mode. See if it works...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H2Oxide:
I tried the key combination, holding them down for at least 60 seconds, with and without USB connected. Nothing happens. Could it be that the battery is drained by now and that that is preventing a succesful boot...?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] StinkyToilet:
So. That doesn't work. Need to find another way then. Hope other people can help too... :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H2Oxide:
A thing that I noticed last night was that whileholding down the volume buttons and then pressing the power buton, the notification led starts blinking in red.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] StinkyToilet:
Whoa. That indicates your phone is bricked (i think). It can be repaired. But, I've sold my Xperia so I can't simulate the damage like yours... BTW, have you installed the latest flashtool drivers?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H2Oxide:
Thanks for all the replies. Some of the members responding have been rather discouraging saying my NAND is probably fried (or something) by flashing that recovery to my boot partition. This might be the case, but I try to be on the positive side and try the suggestions of the members that are with me on that side...

That being said: I love the rubber band idea! However, I had already ordered a wall battery charger for less than 4 pounds, so I'll wait for that one to be deliverd to my house before I go MacGyver style.

I have to be honest with you guys on two things: I cross-posted my problem in another thread (some of you are already aware of that). I'll continue on the problem just in this thread. The other thing I want to point out is that it is my wife's phone that I messed up. I just bought it on eBay for her because her HTC Desire C was giving her headaches... I guess you see the pressure here. I was able to mess up her new phone in about two days time.

Right, like I said I'm optimistic. With the occasional green flashes of the led bar and the actual cause of the problem taken in regard, I still think we'll be able to revive this machine. I'll try the wallcharger in favour of the rubber band, unless you guys say that is a bad idea. Could you point me to the/a right stock ROM?

Thanks again for the help.

ps: after this problem is solved I do want to get to a KitKat ROM. The unlocked bootloader is one step in that direction, but I need to take the next step and I'm still a bit puzzled about that step. Is it flashing a custom recovery and the a zip or do I have to do it through Flashtool...? any help on that is appreciated as well.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pjohn23:
I think you have to flash a custom kernel w/recovery using flashtool
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] evildev:
If you already ordered the wall charger, than wait for it, the trick is in giving your phone enough juice for flashing procedure. I think it'll work, just be patient and charge your battery. And for the future reference, don't flash anything unless you have ~50% of battery, that's how I roll :D Although I once flashed a rom while having 22% of battery :D :D :D I too sometimes like to live on the edge :D

And for roms, your best bets are:

Stock GB .184 variant (Good one, not much bloat):

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/u-development/rom-xperia-official-sonyst25i6-0-b-3-t1979704

Stock ICS, .54 variant (Also good one, also not much bloat):

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/u-development/stock-rom-firmware-6-1-1-b-1-54-nordic-t2075526

It doesn't matter which one you will flash, just get your device working. From there on, everything should be a breeze ;)

Report what you did :)

P.S.

The best kitkat rom for XU would be, in my opinion, SlimKat, find it here:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/u-development/rom-unofficial-slimkat-t2747315

EDIT: How to flash kitkat ROMs:

Since our XU doesn't have a separate partition for recovery, CWM/TWRP are most often integrated in kernel (acutally, ramdisk part of it). So, in order to get recovery, you most often need to flash boot.img found in rom zip. Most of kitkat roms for XU have TWRP.

First, copy ROM zip to device.

Next:

1. Unpack boot.img from ROM zip

2. Fire up flashtool, click that bolt icon, select fastboot mode, and then click on "select kernel to flash"

3. Default format for kernels which flashtool can read is .sin, so in window that you just opened, from drop-down menu near open/cancel buttons, select .img format and find your unpacked boot.img. Don't confirm flash yet!

4. Now, connect phone in fastboot mode (hold vol+ while plugging USB cable)

5. Confirm flash by double-clicking on boot.img

If everything went well, you can go to the next step:

1. Reboot device (If you haven't closed flashtool, there's a button for that)

2. Enter TWRP by pressing vol+ while booting

3. Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache

4. Flash the ROM

5. Reboot

6. ???

7. Profit!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] H2Oxide:
SOLVED

Right. So two days ago the wall charger arrived in the mail. The battery obviously was completely depleted as it took at least five hours to charge. Eventually the blue light of the charger came on. Done.

I proceeded with Flashtool trying to get a stock ROM on the phone. I prepared Flashtool with the following stock ROM: ST25i_6.1.1.B.1.100_Sony. When the connect phone dialog came up I plugged in the phone in flash mode. I noticed that the LED bar was lighting up in green. That seemed like good news. Flashtool continued successfully after which the phone was back in working order!

After that it was a matter of working through the steps of getting a custom ROM on the phone. The description provided by evildev in this thread was most helpful.

So, after two weeks the Xperia U is up and running again, with a KitKat ROM. And it never saw a Sony Service Centre... Thanks all for the help provided. I really appreciate it.

Hi,

Just bought a brand new Nexus 5 from a person wanting to keep his iPhone.

Everything is working fine, except it says "No service" (sometimes with one bar, sometimes with all four). Data is working fine though, but neither SMS/MMS or phonecalls works. Sometimes, when i reset/reboot i doesn't say "No Service", but after one single phonecall it reverts back to "No Service" and only data works again.

Iv'e tried resetting with the firmware on the phone from the start, tried flashing both kot49h and krt16m, tried getting a new sim (which works fine in my old Nexus 3), tried different radio-settings but nothing works for me.
