Hi,

my Xperia SP got under a stream of water recently, and since then I've been fighting to bring it back to life.

I had a problem with the hard power-off button being constantly in pressed state, but I fixed it somehow.

Right now I am able to access fastboot and flashmode, however the phone gets stuck at the bootloader screen when I try to turn it on (kernel recovery isn't accessible, leds don't light up).

One weird thing I noticed is that when I just plug USB to the phone, instead of going to "charge-mode", it just enters flashmode?

I tried re-flashing the kernel, and the whole ROM, but it didn't change anything.

Is there anything else I could try?

Any help much appreciated.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
since your issue is only present when using that particular app, you might want to ask the dev instead of us. Doesn't looks like its related to the M7 itself. Have you tested this app on another phone to see if it have the same issue?

Can you provide a link to that app? I can't find any "pictures studio" on the play store, only "photo studio" is it the app you are talking about?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.R.F.S:
m talking about default studio or by another name : gallery! :D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
ok sorry for the confusion :p

So you can't zoom photo when you are watching them from the default "gallery" app?

HAve you tried to clear cache of the app? Or maybe erasing the dalvik cache?

[General Questions and Answers] ozisam:
Hi I have recently rooted my first Android phone and would like to install Cyanogenmod to it. I am a bit lost as where to go from here. Sorry if these questions are a bit basic but I don't want to muck things up if I can help it. It is a Samsung Galaxy i9305tDVUENC1 4.3. I have CWM on the phone. Can I backup my apps and settings on the phone then restore them after Cyanogenmod is up and running or do I need to set everything up again manually. If I can backup and restore them what is the best program for that and what should I be looking to include in the backup so it won't clash with CM? I have Titanium Backup on the phone. Thanks for helping me out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HardDev:
Hello Everybody, I think I have brik my phone. This is going to be a long thread, I am only explaining so that I am guided correctly by the members.

Configuration of my Phone:

BB Chip: MT6577

Modem Ver. : MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V5

UBoot Ver. : 2010.06

Kernel Ver. : 3.0.31-178067 (se.infra@SEP-113) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC)) #1 SMP PREEMPT

Android Ver. : 4.1.1

SW Ver. : ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1

Custom Build verno. : I968.1700.02.02.B.C-V1.0.5B04Q17

Quad Core 1.6

2gb RAM

16GB built-in memory

Around 2 / 3GB ROM.

What I did with it

I installed MTK Droid Tools, SP Flash Tool and other things required to root and flash rom.

I had Android System Recovery e3 installed which did not allow me to install any rom. So I opened MTK Droid Tools, connected my phone, saved scatter file. Next I went to Root, recovery tab, took a complete backup of my phone, installed SuperSU, deleted china. Next I choose 'To choose the boot.img file' selected the original backed up boot.img file, then after few times hitting yes, MTK Droid installed CWM 5.5 to my phone.

I downloaded few custom roms from needrom.com. Entered recovery mode, tried to install from the internal sdcard the roms, CWM reported success but stock ROM did not went away. I tried to install the Android 4.3 ROM, to install google apps dev had told me to install the following file as while using the same method(recovery mode): gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

Problem started from here

when I now boot into the phone, many things started to crash, settings, android keyboard etc. I mistakenly went to settings and did the factory reset. Phone restarted, and a green Android robot appeared, blue bars running at the bottom of the robot, a octagon type shape moving in his stomach. It just flashed over the screen and phone restarted again. From then onwards this is the only thing that is happening, no matter I try to go into recovery mode or where, noting works. This is the

only

screen that appears constantly with 3 secs interval in between each. The only other screen I am able to go is by holding Vol Down, home and power, it takes the phone to factory mode. But it is of no use.

Please help. Have I brik my phone? Is there anything I can do? Phone is not getting detected at MKT Droid Tools, else I would have reinstalled the recovery and boot etc, when connected powered off (with / without battery).

Please help.

Thanks, HardDev!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Techweed:
So I downloaded Doodle Jump and gave it a go. I noticed when lost and played again gameplay was slow and jittery. I had to restart my phone to make it go away. It didn't always get jittery but if I played long enough the problem would present itself. In general system animations and transitions would become spastic, such as scrolling in the browser or Play Store or changing pages in the app drawer.

Today I played back a 24 frame radar loop (it's a pro weather app, PYKL3) and the phone started to behave jittery and generally slow again. The browser would scroll in a jittery way and apps would behave the same way. Again, only a restart would make it go away.

When I play back videos even 4k they play smooth but then when I press back to minimize the video and go back to the gallery it shows that odd slow, jittery behavior again.

Anyone know what's going on here? It's very strange and very annoying.

I have an Unlocked T-mobile Dash that I use on Rogers network in Toronto Canada.

The value for Automatic Time/TimeZones in Settings->Clock&Alarm keeps switching back to "Enable" on it's own. And that in turn screws with the dates and times of my appointments.

Has anyone else had the same problem?

Is there a way to change default setting for this parameter to "Disable"?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

David
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
Wish I had good news for you... but for some reason T-Mobile has disabled the ability to turn this off. It will only stay off until you reboot the phone. I've read that other phones, the Blackjack in particular, retain this setting when it's changed.

Someone else may come up with a registry setting to make the change permanent, wish I knew of one :)
[HTC Excalibur] dickybilly:
I hate this too !!!!!!!!!!!

you're not the only one with this problem...

I've an open problem ticket with microsoft for perhaps some answers but don't hold your breath

meanwhile, no one has a fix for this...

the only way to resolve the issue is to fall in line with the microsoft implementation of outlook meeting/appointment scheduling which is to always record the meeting/appointment time RELATIVE to the timezone you are in when you make the entry

for example, if you're in Dallas TX on Central time and need to record a meeting in NYC 2days from now, if the NYCity meeting is at 2pm you MUST record the meeting time as 1pm which is the meeting time relative to the Dallas timezone. When you arrive in NYCity and you turn on your DASH/Excalibur it will automatically (since enable is forced ON) reset time to NYCity local time and reset the timezone to Eastern. When this happens your meeting time becomes 2pm, the correct time.

I hate this implementation but its a known "FEATURE" of WM5 and Outlook calendar operation. My investigation has found three groups of opinions:

- those who have learned to live with this implementation and agree with it

- those who have never figured it out and have given up

- those like me who hate the implementation and are looking for microsoft to add a checkbox to outlook meeting which makes the meeting time absolute and unaffected by change in timezone

Its also been suggested that a program like CityTimeSP might work ... I've downloaded and tested the 15day trial and it works as advertised allowing one to setup calendar events in other timezones without having to make the mental timezone calculation so that when you arrive and your phone time/timezone syncs all your meetings will show the correct time.

http://www.codecity.net/prodctsp.htm

good luck
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
A little clarification: The previous poster mentioned a "microsoft implementation" of "always recording the meeting/appointment time RELATIVE to the timezone you are in" -- this is his implementation, not Microsoft's. Once understood, the Microsoft implementation is actually pretty slick.

You can specify a time zone for an appointment when entering it in desktop Outlook -- there's a button in the appointment entry window labeled 'time zone'; when you click it you can specify alternate time zones. It's actually a powerful way to handle time zones that I was unaware of until a couple days ago. While at home, alternate time-zone appointments display earlier/later (depending on the time-zone) -- once you get there, they display correctly as your Dash pulls time and time-zone from your new location.

The real issue is that when creating appointments on your smartphone, there isn't a way to enter time zone info. Until there is, you can enter 'away' time-zone appointments on your desktop and sync them, or edit ones you've created on your phone after they sync to Outlook.

Or, jump through some hoops and add another layer to your calendar with the Citytime product, kind of overkill just to deal with time zones, but it is an option.

Pocket Informant for the PPC (not smartphone) does allow the editing of time zone info in an appointment -- hopefully a future release of the smartphone version of Pocket Informant (Papyrus) will offer this as well.
[HTC Excalibur] dickybilly:
Regardless of my phrasing, I suggest you go to desktop Outlook help and search for the keyword "timezone", then read the "about timezone" and "troubleshooting timezone" items which should clarify how microsoft has implemented timezone processing.
[HTC Excalibur] sfu_engineer:
Same exact thing happens to me and I am on Rogers Canada as well. I just learn to change the auto time zone back to disabled everytime I time I reset.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
How interesting :)
[HTC Excalibur] psxp:
Does this happen on a HTC S620 as well?

oh, I am on FIDO, Canada.. which I guess is Robbers too?

[HTC Excalibur] sfu_engineer:
It's probably a firmware thing. I am using a TMOBILE DASH if it matters. I am too lazy to upgrade the firmware to HTC 620 though
[HTC Excalibur] CraigMac:
My dash changes from Pacific time to Mountain time... No date change tho.
[HTC Excalibur] UnicornKaz:
looking at the date of the original post ... I believed this is due to the extended "daylight saving time" the USA implemented this year (2007)

there have since been a patch release to resolved this issue:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx
[HTC Excalibur] Warthogdriver:
Was just reading a similar thread in HowardForums. They don't have a sure-fire fix either. It really is frustrating. I have just learnt to reset the time zone info each time I have had to reset my phone.:(
[HTC Excalibur] Pagemakers:
I fly a lot and my Dash is the only WM device I have ever owned that updates itself to time of the country I am visiting even if I have this option turned off.

OK, I can live with that if I have to, but when I arrive back in my country (UK) and turn my phone back on the time (and appointments) remain as at the last destination forcing me to have to manually update the time and turn off auto-time zone settings AGAIN.

The feature does not stay turned off though, because the next time I arrive abroad.....Bam, the auto-time zone settings have turned them selves back on again and the entire cycles starts again.

I am using the dreadfully buggy T-Mobile WM6. Hopefully when HTC finally release their WM6 version the problem will have been fixed.
[HTC Excalibur] Warthogdriver:
Yup, I feel your pain. I am an airline Pilot, so you can imagine how frustrated I get!! I hope there is a fix for this soon. Otherwise, I really like the Dash.
[HTC Excalibur] Pagemakers:
Same here :) It drives me nuts.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
The solution is to use the timezone feature in Outlook. Specifiy the time-zone for your appointments in Outlook. If you do this, then everything displays correctly as you change timezones. It's actually a slick feature if used correctly. It's even easier than complaining about it ;)
[HTC Excalibur] Pagemakers:
That's not what I am 'complaining' about.

Even with the auto-time zone off....

I leave the UK. Clock = UTC

I arrive in Orlando and the time changes to UTC-5

I arrive back in the UK and the phone is still on UTC-5

With the setting off it should stay on UTC time forever.

It wouldn't be so bad it if chnaged the time without me wanting to do it, but the fact it does not change back to my home time zone on arrival back home is irritating.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
Works great for me -- must be there's something wrong with your device.
[HTC Excalibur] Pagemakers:
Should be Ok for me too form now on sinice I've just dumped the buggy T-Mobile ROM :)
[HTC Excalibur] Warthogdriver:
Not so sure about that......there are several of us that have the same problem. It's most frustrating.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
Do you specifiy the timezone for the appointment in Outlook? If you do, then you don't have a problem with incorrect times when you switch timezones. Use the timezone feature of Outlook, and there's nothing to be frustrated about.
[HTC Excalibur] Pagemakers:
It is nothing to do with Outlook!

In the UK my phone is correctly showing the UK time.

I fly to the USA and the phone updates its time to US time (even with the facility turned off).

I return to the UK and the phone is still in US time requiring me to manually re-set the time.

I fly out of the UK 3 times a week and it is becoming a pain having to reset the time each time I land back home.

I have owned countless other WM devices and none of them have done this.
[HTC Excalibur] Warthogdriver:
Yup, that's it exactly. Plus, every time I reset my phone or turn it off completely....I have to reset the time zone. It seems to default to GMT/ London, Dublin. No matter what I put in Outlook....it does this.

Also, whenever I sync the device...the time goes ahead one hour. I can't figure it out, because my time zone settings for the phone & Outlook are identical. They are both set to GMT -4 (Atlantic).
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
This forum is about the T-Mobile Dash (Excaliber, etc) -- is that what you guys are using? Prior to my getting the Dash, with all my other WM devices (I've been using them since the early days of WindowsCE) the timezone was set manually and I never changed it. I would always just leave it as is, and change the time manually (not the timezone) when I entered a different timezone. Worked fine for me.

When I got the Dash, I could no longer do this -- as it auto-changed timezone info depending on where it was when powered on -- it pulls timezone info from the cellular service. There's no way to shut auto-timezone feature off with the Dash. Thought it was WM5/6 related, but my friends BlackJack lets you turn off the feature.

This is when I learned about setting the timezone for an Outlook appointment, and found it to be a great solution for working with timezones. If you specify the timezone info in Outlook when making an appointment, it's great -- whether you have to manually specify your timezone or not. All the times are correct regardless of your timezone.

One pitfall with a Smartphone (WM Standard) is that there's no way to specify or edit the appointment-timezone on a device, it uses whatever it's current timezone is. You can later edit the timezone info in Outlook after it syncs. With PPC's (WM Pro) you can specify an appointment timezone if you're using a 3rd party app like Pocket Informant, which has this field available for editing when working with an appointment on the device.

This topic relates to the Dash/Excaliber and how you can't shut off the auto-timezone feature -- sounds like some users with other devices & issues have attempted to hitch a ride ;)
[HTC Excalibur] Pagemakers:
Yup A Dash alright. However, I've just removed the T-Mobile ROM and installed the far better Beta WM6 ROM and hopefully my problems are long gone.....
[HTC Excalibur] Warthogdriver:
Hey, let me know how that works out for you. I have the Beta ROM as well, stored away on my hard drive, but was hesitant to use it. However, if it is more usable than the T-Mo shipping ROM.....then I will load it up!
[HTC Excalibur] Pagemakers:
Had it installed for a few days now and so far it's far better and noticably faster!
[HTC Excalibur] Warthogdriver:
and no timezone switching??
[HTC Excalibur] UnicornKaz:
the official ROM is around the corner ... I would hold off on wasting time with the BETA ...

When downloading a file over 30MB my download booster will turn on for a split second then turn off, the file will then download via wifi only. Any ideas why?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] astro2:
download booster is not for those who have slow internet or at least not ONLY for those with slow internet

I mean are you for real? wifi speed + 4G data speeds giving you ultra fast downloads to get 1gb to 2gb games on the playstore is a god send EVEN if you did have great internet speed

i just saw a guy download a 2gb 'grand theftu auto SA ' game on youtube USING both wifi and the speed booster and in less then a few minutes he had already over 700mbs downloaded, now thats great for a mobile device

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 AM ----------

i've been using a iphone for years and trying to learn android and even as a noob i know why (at least i think i know i do lol) its happening

you have "smart network switch' on (and it even TELLS YOU what it does) it will switch between wifi and data to give you a nice stable internet connection

if you turn on 'download booster' it will help in files that are 30mb and large, and it states it recommends on turning off 'download via wifi only' (which i think the option comes up when you download stuff off playstore) to me 30mb is not necessary for the booster thats a waste of data since mobile data is expensive

i'd use it if the app/game is over 1g/2gb since it'll shorten wait times

Great job! Wonderful stable ROM with a lots of settings and tweaks. The only missing to be perfect IMO is the swipe-up gesture to dismiss Hover.
