[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Nx6:
This sounds similar to the problem's I'm having with my Sony Ericsson X1. It started a couple of weeks ago, seemingly spontaneously. I had been running the same firmware (generic UK R3AA010) for quite a while with no problems (at least more than usual with the X1) but suddenly one day these symptoms show up:

People who try to call me get an "unavailable" tone. If they try again it works fine

If I try to call someone, it just silently fails the first time. If I try again it works fine

So it seems that the phone gets disconnected form the network somehow. It can't just be that the phone network looses track of where the phone is (in which cell), since it affects outgoing calls as well.

I've tried this with two different SIM cards from different operators with identical results.

I've tried a couple of other firmware versions with no help. If anyone can help with information on this I'd be very grateful.

There's no way I can use a phone that people can't reach me on, but I can't stand the thought of throwing a fairly expensive phone in the trash.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sbart76:
exactly same problem here. I figured out that switching off the phone function in comm manager and then switching it back on does the trick without soft-reset, but I don't need to explain to you how annoying it is... I've already changed 4 OS roms and 2 radio roms with no result... I'd appreciate any suggestion very much.
[Moto X Q&A] Blue_Churo:
Hello,

I forgot my Moto X in the freezer the other day, and it was having issues before this so I'm not sure if the freezer comes into play...

It's been having connectivity issues for a little while now for wifi and cellular/data. It doesn't even pick up my home wifi unless I'm directly by it, and even then it's just one bar of WiFi.

Could it be a hardware issue? I got the dev edition so it should still be under warranty, even knowing I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader.

Thanks for any help!

Edit: Anyone know if it's for *sure* under warranty? I got the 32GB dev edition t-mobile
[Moto X Q&A] Groid:
Since there is no such thing as a T-Mo developers edition you are not still under warranty. The Moto X was sold for T-Mo by Motorola (not sold by T-Mo) as the GSM variant. The bootloader can be unlocked, voiding the warranty, but it is not a developer edition.
[Moto X Q&A] Nemosfate:
If your phone says on the back developer edition... then yes it's under warranty...

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FSRBIKER:
I saw someone reference there was a US Firmware for the Z3c available, I am new to Sony phones but digging some more I found this a the tool to download and flash Firmware to Sony phones. http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/pc-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142

Anyone try the US based Firmware yet? If so post your findings, any changes, etc. I would bet the Z3c will show the LTE symbol when running this software version.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] NRG1975:
Subscribed ...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cschmitt:
I'm running it right now and just posted the firmware in the stock FTF thread. It does have the LTE icon.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FSRBIKER:
What carrier are you using? Notice any differences in the software other than what you said? Were you stock and used that flash tool, no unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cschmitt:
AT&T, stock with locked bootloader

Use flashtool, here's a good guide.

Skip down to 'Stage 4 - Flashing' and make sure to un-check APPSLOG and DATA when flashing so that it doesn't wipe data.

The only differences I've seen are a couple of different pre-loaded apps (Crackle TV?) which I quickly deleted. The data icon is LTE, and there's a Wireless Emergency app for managing CMAS alerts.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FSRBIKER:
Thanks for the link. I doubt this will enable a US Software OTA to come through since it's probably tied to the IMEI number but still nice to have a pretty easy way to flash the US software.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ExZeRoEx:
Sorry if it's a stupid question, but what advantage is there to switching to this US Firmware? Would I be at a disadvantage if I don't want to bother switching?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kbadone:
I just flashed my Z3C with Customized DE, It got LTE icon for data
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Crewville96:
If the LTE icon is the only difference then I'm not even gonna bother.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mattdm:
That guide says a locked bootloader is required. Is there any way to flash the US firmware on a Z3C with an unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Aripex:
Xperia Blog has a good guide for those that are interested.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cschmitt:
Flashtool will work with an unlocked bootloader.

The locked reference has to do with using SUS / PC Companion to download the firmware image from Sony used to create the FTF for Flashtool. I already created an FTF for US firmware, and we can use XperiaFirm to download directly without using SUS / PCP.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mattdm:
Ah ok, I see.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] slyydrr:
Just wanted to share my results for those of you asking if it's seemingly only aesthetic (LTE vs 4G symbol)...

I was noticing seemingly worse signal after switching from my T-Mobile HTC One M8. I did several speed tests and capped out at around 25Mbit. For what it's worth, on my M8, I could consistently hit 40-60Mbit.

I ended up flashing the US firmware and my speed tests are back in the normal range. Seems to be like US T-Mobile wasn't fully compatible w/ the UK firmware (baseband maybe?)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ikon8:
I'm new to Sony phones, does updating firmware require a Windows machine, any way to update in Linux?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Crewville96:
1) will this affect future ota availability?

2) anyone get different speeds on att?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] macklobell:
Im getting 23mps and the signal hasn't been that great. I am sure it is due to the UK firmware.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Crewville96:
It's the same bands and correct APN settings. Should the firmware really matter? And my biggest worry is if I switch I won't get the OTA's.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jmerlos:
I don't know if the firmware had anything to do with it but this is after updating to US firmware and I was getting 30-40mbps previously.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] slyydrr:
1) Probably but unsure. The firmware I got was a Customized US from Sony so only time will tell.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Kev1000000:
I am actually seeing pretty terrible signal on T-Mobile with the UK firmware. Would updating to US fix the signal strength? I could always flash back to the UK firmware, correct?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ahrex:
Yeah, flashing one firmware after another shouldn't be an issue. Just remember not to reset the TA partition.

Regarding terrible signal, I'm experiencing something similar: my cell service used to die after a period of time, needing one or more restarts to restore my bars. I searched around the Xperia forums and tried the various proposed solutions: APN settings, software reset (factory reset), hardware reset (holding power + volume up when the phone is off), pulling out and re-inserting the SIM tray (which basically just reboots the phone), etc.

Nothing already suggested so far really worked.

The second-last thing I tried was to change firmwares. I opted for the "Global GENERIC" version instead of the US version, since I might be traveling with this phone. I saw the LTE symbol, and confirmed in the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*, or *#*#SERVICE#*#*) that the customization version was Global GENERIC. The need to restart, although still there, is required less often (a few hours now vs. half an hour before).

So, wanting a permanent solution, instead of a clunky reboot-before-you-make-a-call scenario, I bit the bullet and called T-Mobile support. The technical support person let me know that the nano-SIMs they currently have are made specifically for iPhones, and they don't officially support BYO devices. I'm still not convinced that they can't change some settings on the backend to fix the issue, and I asked for a reset of their backend settings for my device. She obliged with the reset, but I checked this morning and my cell signal still dies after a period of time.

I did some looking into the nano-SIMs, and found that the larger Xperia Z3 also uses them, and that it's "Coming Soon" to T-Mobile. My next fix attempt will be to wait for the release of the Z3, and try to get a nano-SIM made for that.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dew.man:
FYI I'm currently using a tmobile iphone nano-SIM in mine, and am getting consistent/excellent excellent connectivity. This is with a global .93 firmware...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cschmitt:
I seriously doubt there's anything device specific to the SIM card, but maybe in how they provision it in their system. I just got a micro SIM and punched it down to nano with a sim cutter.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] slyydrr:
This is strange to me since the HTC One M8 uses a nano SIM which is what I had prior and it works fine for me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] huntnyc:
My Moto X 2013 came with a T-Mobile nano Sim.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ahrex:
Hey all,

Thanks for confirming that the T-Mobile phone rep didn't know what she was talking about.

I visited a T-Mo store today and got a nano-SIM replacement. We'll see how this holds against the signal issues.

EDIT: 8 hours and no signal issues yet. I think my issue is a bad SIM card.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zoome9:
So I installed the D5803 US variant today and noticed that I'm no longer capable of getting a 1200 mah charge. I'm consistently around 800-900 mah. Anyone else notice this? I haven't been able to test out the radios yet since I was just trying to charge the phone overnight.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] slyydrr:
I don't actually ever look at the charging strength. I also use the magnet charger not the USB port so my results may differ.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zoome9:
I only use the magnetic charger and charging dock as well. Guess I should have clarified it a bit better.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] slyydrr:
How do I check charging strength?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zoome9:
I use GSam Battery Monitor and refresh it every so often to see how much of a charge it's getting in mah.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] slyydrr:
Highest I see is 679. Granted I'm at 97% so it might be throttled. I don't have a baseline comparison though from before.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zoome9:
Yeah I would get close to double that using 2amp chargers :/. It's not too big of a deal overnight but charging your phone faster is always more convenient. Maybe this is why some users have complained about it not charging fast enough. They're all probably on the 93 build and not the latest 105
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Bobb_o:
I can use the us version with a locked bootloader and non root right? I don't want to mess up the camera
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] slyydrr:
Yup that's what I'm doing.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Kev1000000:
Does flashing the US rom over the UK rom wipe data? Or would everything stay the same?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zoome9:
While using Flashmode in Flashtool, make sure you have APPSLOG and DATA unchecked
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Kev1000000:
Thanks. Do these firmware have different basebands? If so, it's OK to flash over them if I decide to switch back?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ExZeRoEx:
Just nitpicking, mah is milliamp hours which measures capacity. When I first read " I'm no longer capable of getting a 1200 mah charge. I'm consistently around 800-900 mah" I honestly wondered how battery capacity would be affected and why yours was so low. (I know, I'm stupid, brain fart there, but I quickly realized what you meant.)

In this case, take off the h; it's just mA for current.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ChiGGz:
What issue might that be? I have an encrypted phone as well, and I think my battery drain has been worse for it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Bobb_o:
Why I'm getting an error trying to use the US firmware.

I really think a big portion of the battery problem is signal strength. If I switch off to HSPA+ I get better signal and the battery drains slower (and stays colder) With LTE I get about 1-2 bars in my apartment (With a T-Mobile signal booster) and the phone will get significantly hotter when I'm using it for a decent amount of time.

Same here. It's not just that LTE is terrible, it's that it doesn't fall back to 3G/H+ properly to at least get a voice signal (I'm on WiFi at home anyway so don't need mobile data there as a general rule). Only solution is switching to 2G but it's such a pain because I have to toggle it each time I arrive/leave.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] vincent198526:
Hello all.

This is my first post and my first experience with android devices so please go gentle.

I recently purchased for £20 a kindle fire 2nd gen otter.

The reason it was so cheap was that it is stuck in a bootloop.

The friend I bought it from intended to bring it back to life and install CM to the device but never got round to it. So I took it on as my little project.

I have been scrolling through pages and pages of google and this site for research but have hit a brick wall.

I purchased a factory or fastboot cable knowing I may well need it. I also have the original cable.

When trying to boot the device I get the usual kindle and fire logo orange as of it's booting then every 10 seconds or so the screen will go black and back to the kindle fire bootloop.

I have tried to use the normal cable to link to my desktop on windows 7. When doing this the device will not show up in device manager at all.

When I plug it via a fastboot cable it boots into fastboot with a green flashing light on screen and is recognised as an otter prod 04 on device manager.

I have installed the latest sdk. Also fastboot.

I have changed the windows environment variables under path on the PC and can successfully run fastboot in a command window. I can also issue adb commands through also a dos command window so I know both are working correctly on my PC.

I have typed in fastboot devices

I have also typed in adb devices.

When I issue either or these commands my device will not be found through the command window. It just returns a blank.

I know this is due to drivers not working correctly so have opened device manager. Update driver , have tried the android sdk path for drivers have also tried my adb drivers. I have also downloaded the latest Google USB driver and none will install. I have a programme running that allows any unsigned driver to be installed on win 7 so I know it's not that.

All I have returned is cannot install drivers for otter prod. 04

The only thing it will accept is choosing from a list of devices, Then android. And installs as adb device or adb composite device, this is obviously useless as I can't boot device into normal mode to be able to use it as adb or issue commands to it.

I have tried everything. I know this kindle is save able I just don't know how. My end result is make it bootable, root device and install CM

I have trawled through loads of pages of info and tried tried and tried for answers but nothing works. Can anybody shed some light on the issue for me.

Many thanks in advance

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
Hello Vincent,

ADB stands for Android Device Bridge (Just wanted to point that out since you are new to Android).

The ADB Composite Device driver lets your computer and your Kindle Fire device communicate with each other. This includes ADB as well as fastboot.

Install the ADB Composite Device driver in Device Manager and then go to the command line window and type fastboot -i 0x1949 devices and it should now show up in fastboot.

Now flash the stock bootloader, recovery, and system img files to your device. After that, you should see it boot successfully.

Hope this helped, and don't be afraid to ask me more questions about your device!
