I know there was a thread for this a while back as I read it when searching for something else. Now I can't find that thread (the search function in forums is never great!) but I suddenly have a huge problem with the built in Alarm function on my Wizard...

I've had a few issues before where when the phone is charging overnight it soft resets by itself and then sticks on the initial O2 screen. In the morning, I disconnect the phone from the charger and the phone then boots, I enter the password and the alarm goes off (usually later than the time I set it for). This is annoying but I can live with it.

However, this morning I had HUGE problems. It did the same as usual, phone was stuck on O2 initial screen so i unplugged the charger and the phone began to boot. I entered my password and the alarm started to go off but I was unable to switch it off at all. It does not come up with 'Notification' in bottom left of the screen like it normally does when the alarm goes off. It just kept going off even when I unset the alarm. I did a soft reboot but the same thing happened again. Also, the right-hand light at the top was orange even when the charger was not connected so the phone seems to think it is charging when it isn't.

I have managed to get it to stop thinking its charging by enabling wifi for a few minutes whilst charger is connected, then disabling wifi and disconnecting charger. But, every time I soft reset, the alarm starts going off and wont stop and the orange light comes back (while not not connected to charger). Also, none of my calendar items are reminding me 15 mins before the appointment like they normally do.

Is there anything I can do? I really don't want to hard reset if possible and certainly not just to stop the alarm! I am using Molski's latest 30Mb free WWE ROM. There isn't much installed, just PocketMax PhoneAlarm (great app!), TCPMP, handy Switcher, OMAP and OMAP+, Resco file explorer and Salling clicker. But I have had these apps for a while now. There is also SoftKey which appeared after upgrading ROM and I have changed my left button (directly above the call connect button) to Notes, perhaps this is why the Notification does not come up?

It is so embarrassing that a £400 phone cannot do something so basic as waking you up at the right time :(

I know a lot of people have had this problem with WM5 but has a fix ever been identified? Sorry about the huge post btw but any advice would be hugely appreciated
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] frazell:
I'd say try reflashing that ROM or try another ROM...

The $400 phone was designed to work with the ROM from the manufacturer and MO that it was sold under... If the problem still persists under those circumstances than the problem is most likely hardware related and you should be seeking a warranty repair (if that option is avalible to you). Although, you were made aware when you loaded the cooked ROM that it could cause you problems and voids any warranty.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wellmoon:
I had the problem (although not as severe as today) when I was using the default ROM that was installed from the phone company...

Also, from the last thread about this it seems a large number of people with different ROMS/devices have had the problem...I'll reflash if I have to but I'll try a hard reset first....

Before you post search please. There are many posts on this case. Look in the G3 cases OP, I also wrote a review on it and some others. I'll try to post the link to the cases OP.

I left my review on Amazon. In short, it's great.
[G3 Accessories] kingoftf:
The only problem:

Two different models with or without gap for antenna.

Had to send mine back to amazon because they send me the Korean model with the ugly gap.

Apart from that the case looks great.
[G3 Accessories] Robin2:
There are some reviews on Youtube. I ordered mine today, but paid a higher price since it's not available in my country. Seems like one of the best quality cases out there.
[G3 Accessories] AllstarE4:
I dropped my G3 from a height of about 2 feet onto a tile floor (fell out of my shirt pocket) with the Spigen Slim Armor case on. It landed on the "Air Cushion Corner" and cracked the screen rendering it mostly useless. Aside from that, the finish on the back showed wear from day one and looks pretty bad after a few weeks.

Spigen offered to refund the cost of the case so their customer service is fine, but I'm not trusting the Slim Armor for my G3 when I get it back from repair.

Could just be a crazy incident and maybe a rare occurrence, but I wanted to share anyway. Moral of the story, don't drop your phone.
[G3 Accessories] Pilz:
I've dropped mine more times than I'm proud of and it hasn't broken my phone. Also it does show wear, but I think it was a fluke for your phone to break. It even fell down the stairs when I was going to my engineering class and my phone is perfect. The case has done scratches, but it could be because of my tempered glass screen protector which is also fine. I've never had any phone break in these cases but that's just me. I think it'd a good case in fact I have 2 of them and its my favorite case. Individual results may vary.
[G3 Accessories] faded03cobra:
I've had about 6 Spigen cases over the years and they have all been fantastic except Slim Armor for the G3. Mine was defective and had to send it back. Mine did not fit tight around the phone and it would come off every time I would take it out of my pocket. I'm sure mine was a isolated problem because their cases have always been great. I'm hoping they make a tough armor.
[G3 Accessories] AllstarE4:
Ya I think mine was a fluke, but it still blew my mind that the phone broke on the first drop like that. Freak accident I guess. I dropped my last LG phone countless times over 2 1/2 years and it never broke. Just one of those things I guess.

I've always read great things about Spigen so that's why I chose it for my G3. The intial impression of fit and finish was great, but the excessive wear on the painted plastic back is what turned me off. I'm just used to a full TPU case is all.
[G3 Accessories] Pilz:
The back on mine isn't painted it's the color of the plastic. The scratches match the cases color which makes then less noticeable, however, or still sucks that it does scratch much easier than a TPU case.
[G3 Accessories] AllstarE4:
Maybe it is color specific then. I got the metal slate and it was a painted on color that showed white under every scratch.

[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
I don't like the camera of XL. The UI doesn't look attractive, and the picture quality is also average. The colors look dull and the autofocus doesn't work even when the square turns blue.

So my question is can I improve my camera quality by using some other camera app, like samsung's. I know it's hardware but I believe that software plays an equal part.

plus will there be any difference if I use a custom rom that is unofficial. Like all the kitkat roms for XL.

And please don't suggest to change some settings. They hardly make an impact.
[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
Yes, it's software issue. You can check this out http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-post-best-camera-shots-t2333949/page28..we have some example and discussion about it..

The focus is horrible for stock..

You can install 3rd party paid app call snapcam or kitkat camera that support jb..
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
okay

so if it's the software, isn't it possible to port cameras of other devices to XL alongwith their libs or algorithms.

Because I believe that third party cameras will use the same libs and therefore same results.
[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
It depend on what camera you're installed..some of them have their own lib that doesn't intergrated with sony's lib..

You just have to checked them
[Sony Xperia L] yiokla:
Anyone used other cameras with success?
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
Use snap camera. It's better than stock and there's no autofocus issue. You can manually change some settings to get the perfect picture.
[Sony Xperia L] yiokla:
Hello I checked snap camera it really looks the most customizable camera I've tried

The focus seams to work fine but images still grainy, however I must experiment more with settings

I'll wanted to upload some comparison photos but forum has a small image limit

I found this quite useful too:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/themes-apps/superior-auto-mode-xperia-lcamera-t2597255

And in another post someone posted some image quality improvements

Does this apply to the latest official update or only to the older firmware mentioned?

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/general/improve-camera-quality-sony-xperia-l-t2683512
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
The above threads are useful for stock camera only. If you are planning to use the snap camera then no need for these.

Also the noise is a hardware issue too and not just software. I have tried the same app on two different devices and thus got different results.

Of course you cannot expect a very good quality from this phone but it's good

I am on the latest stock firmware and the picture quality of stock camera is good, the only reason I use snap cam is the autofocus issue. Otherwise some manual tweaks and you get the best photos from your stock camera.

And you can upload the images to any image hosting site and embed here.

[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
Doesn't make a HUGE impact. It's the hardware I told you. Stop expecting 'Stunning' pictures from xperia L. Use snap cam or camera 360 for appropriately focused pictures.
[Sony Xperia L] yiokla:
So my question should be what is the best results using other apps except stock cam for better hardware use?

Does the kitkat camera app on latest stock rom works like it does on the kitkat rom?

Tried snap cam & camera 360 (quite improved since the last time I tried it with my samsung galaxy core)

Still haven't shot a correct macro photo, It is insane that a photography specialized smartphone does not have a macro mode :eek:
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
How could you even expect macro from a mid budget phone. I already told you that DO NOT expect so much from this camera.

These apps already draw the maximum output from the hardware and there can't be any more improvement.

These two apps I told are the best that I have found so far. So use these apps and search foor some better if you want.
[Sony Xperia L] yiokla:
even older and cheeper models can shot at macro mode

I managed to do this with my old Sony Ericsson K550 that was a cyber-shot model

and also with my 5 mp samsung galaxy core so yes I except a smarphone with 8mp camera promoted as a smartphone for photograph to have at least the same if not better results with macro mode (if there was that mode to start with)
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
Samsung phones have undoubtedly pretty good cameras. But the worst part of Xperia L is the camera. It can't even closer click proper photos so there's no chance of macro.

And you can get the macro mode in some custom camera apps but won't give you extraordinary results.

[Sony Xperia M2] SethKyros:
Searching through these forums, most posts related to Backup TA seem inconclusive, so I figured I would create an actual thread to ask about it.

Since it’s been confirmed that the M2 can be rooted using towel root (which doesn’t require an unlocked bootloader), this would therefore allow Backup TA to produce a backup before the unlocking process, thus allowing for a subsequent full factory restore with the DRM keys intact, if such a thing was required for warranty purposes. So I’m wondering if that tool works on this device, since so far it is not among the supported models (even though it should theoretically work on any new xperia model).

To clarify, this isn’t actually my device, but rather my gf’s (who got it today), and that’s why I haven’t been able to test this for myself to see if it actually works, and I won’t be able to do so until Friday, so I figured I would ask for the time being in case someone has had any experience with it.

Also, could anyone confirm if there’s any potential risk in running Backup TA on this device, assuming that the process ends up not working? Or if it doesn’t work, will it simply fail without doing anything to the M2?
[Sony Xperia M2] peter-k:
At the moment there is nothing worthwhile one can do with an bootloader unlocked M2, IMO.
[Sony Xperia M2] SethKyros:
True, and if I was to ever install a custom ROM to my gf’s M2 in the future, that would require a factory reset of everything just the same as the unlocking of the bootloader would anyway, and since root is all that’s needed for TitaniumBackup, such reset wouldn’t necessarily present such a big problem regardless.

With that said, I would still like to see an answer to the question if possible, particularly to the part about any potential dangers of using Backup TA. Since my device of choice is a Nexus 4, I don’t exactly have any experience dealing with Xperia devices and any potential quirks they might have, and I don’t exactly want to screw up this particular phone either :(
