[Sony Xperia L] WaleedAhmad98:
Hi everyone, I think I might have bricked my Sony XPERIA L after I tried to partition my External SD card. After partitioning it to Fat32 and Ext4, I put back my SD card into my phone but after that my phone like never turned ON. Without being able to boot into bootloader, I can't flash stock firmwares. Seeing from all other threads that my phone might be dead, I came across something different today. I plugged in my phone (either to a PC or a Wall Charger) and a 'Light' Green LED was lit. Does it mean that I can do something to bring it back to normal usage?

p.s I love my Xperia L
[Sony Xperia L] WaleedAhmad98:
Anyone, pliss?
[Sony Xperia L] WaleedAhmad98:
That's the thing. My phone isn't being detected by PC. Phone doesn't go into Fastboot mode either.

Flashing via Flashtool didn't work.
[Sony Xperia L] WaleedAhmad98:
Tried many things.. But I sent it to repair and the guy said that I have an external issue. But Thanks!
[Sony Xperia L] SmartCool:
hi,

first of all connect your phone to pc in flashmode via flashtool !

now it will ask you automatically to select phone model !!

ok if still your phone is not recognized in flashtool then go continue and click on THUNDER ICON and select flash mode !!

now here again it can ask you ur phone mode ..

still if your device is not recognized then go continue .. and flash with your phone with original stock.. now here again it will ask yor model number !!

ok if still you are facing problem !! then cancel flash .. and again click on Thunder ICON ... and select FASTBOOT MODE ... and after clicking fastboot mode it will ask to remove your phone from pc and reconnect by pressing Volume UP button and hold then connect to pc .... now this time it will ask your model number or it will detect automatically !!

then install kernel again .. and rebot your mobile and start in boot mode .. and clean chache , clean to install new rom then select your rom and it's done !!

now i m sharing this with becoz i faced same issue and i was trying all way to get my phone on back ... so i had flowed these steps and it works !
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danhughes1961:
Hi guys,

Has anyone had any problems with whatsapp on our phone? The app seems to get killed somehow when the phone goes to sleep, so I don't receive any messages until I open it up. I've not got any powersaver modes running and background data is allowed etc etc, it's getting very annoying and i'm sure the phone is killing a background process but can't work out how to fix it.

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

I had a similar issue with hangouts but I cleared cache and data and it worked again. maybe give this a shot for whatsapp

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarajaVLC:
No problem at all.

I use stamina mode all the time, excluding Gmail, Whatsapp, Timely and Cerberus, and I receive emails and messages.

My firmware version is 23.0.A.2.98
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iggx:
I have stamina mode activated all the time but whatsapp works great
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danhughes1961:
Thanks for your replies, i don't what the problem is. The same thing happens if i am in stamina mode (with the app whitelisted) or not in stamina mode.

I have tried re-installing, clearing cache and data etc but the problem perists. I guess i will have to ask the app developers, presumably they will blame the phone
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moist:
When you notice it start happening, check the "running apps" in settings. Do most of them show "restarting" etc? I think I have the same issue. It looks like a memory leak on my side.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piratemoon:
I've seen similar to this but I think it might also be related to when other people have a connection. My wife has issues with her work wifi and sometimes I only get her messages once she's back on our home network. I see the time stamp in whatsapp as the time she originally wrote the message...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danhughes1961:
Thanks - will check that next time i see it happening, it doesn't look like it has restarted recently but possibly was "pausing". I've restarted my phone now so all processes are on the same clock so i can spot any breaks easier next time
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danhughes1961:
Cheers but seems not likely as messages from multiple contacts appear at the same time when i open the app, so the problem must be on my end
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danhughes1961:
Quick update, i've had the problem happen again and checked the running apps, there was no pause happening. Even this morning on the train i was looking at the internet, so my phone was connected to data and obviously not asleep and i got no messages. Later on, i opened the app and a message appeared, sent at the time i was looking at the internet. I'm flummoxed. Will raise a support call and update if i have any luck
[Android General] sea0turtle04:
Hello...

I am trying to customize my (new) sony xpereia z2, (got it for waterproof), to as close as possible to a Galaxy note or tab, as far as it can go feature wise.

I already have a few floating apps:

-floating stickies-becomes complicated with too many stickies, swiping them to the side, it becomes (almost) impossible to find the one you want, needs a single view interface, for organized viewing/editing , as well along with the float feature.

-floating browser, and cobra - crashes with only 2 tabs, doesn't remember my websites.

-G-player - my floating window will not resize, pretty sure have gone through all the options in settings, it is stuck,

I am aware of xhalofloatingwindow and xmultiwindow.

- is the only difference between the two that halo floats and multi divides the screen in fixed way? or are there other differences in the two that I am missing...

- (also when people refer to 'halo', this is the same thing as 'xhalofloatingwindow', right? or is it different...)

- are these considered 'custom roms', or not bc only partial change..

- also TouchWiz... I have read that TouchWiz mimicking apps exist, and to look here, but I haven't found any names, thus far.

the features I want are: quick screenshot, and editing, and note taking next to the screenshot, in a logged/organized manner. I would buy a stylus too, if found if could find apps or roms that mimick the galaxy note.

I do like xperia's interface, lockscreen, homescreen editor set up, and buttons. It is not so much the interface that I am trying to change, but to get a few more features. but I would change the interface if that's the only way to do it.

another subject - copying images from web browser, (not saving them), this is impossible on android but have read with a custom rom (not sure which ones, all or only some?) it is possible.

also closing tabs in chrome. you have to close each one manually, obviously annoying, plus the fact that they all reopen if you just wait the program. which Roms (all or only some) can help this...?

please advise if you can ...

Thank you for any advice ....

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaptawesome:
Hey guys,

On occasion my phone will just shut off at like 30-45% or lower when doing regular tasks (messaging, email etc). Then when I start it up its at 0-4% or won't start at all.

When I plug it in and start it back up it will be at like 40% or around where it was when it died.

I don't know what's causing this and need some help. Is it a third party app? Any known ones that might cause this? Or what could it be?

It only started when i upgraded to lollipop i am running cataclysm lollipop with elemental kernel. It also did this on stock lollipop.

Any help is appreciated.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apurbamajumder:
Hello,

Today I woke up to my phone boot-looping after leaving it to charge overnight, despite it having run fine for close to a month (I have been running Cayanogen Mod ROM and TWRP 2.6.4.3 since I got my Nexus 5).

After a long wait at the Google and Nexus logos, there's a system popup of 'Cayanogen logo" present on the screen. However, right after completing the 'updating of apps', the system popup 'Media Storage has stopped working' appears and the phone immediately restarts again.

Upon booting into TWRP, it presents me with a password screen, which I have never encountered before. After pressing 'Cancel' though, I'm directed to the TWRP main menu.

Attempts to factory reset the phone resulted in:

Formatting cache using make_ext4fs function.

E: Unable to mount '/cache'

Updating partition details...

E: Unable to mount '/cache'

E: Unable to mount '/persist'

E: Unable to mount storage.

Then i am using Nexus Root Toolkit and all are option i am going but nothing to do..

So please Watch this Video and Solved My Problem Please.. Please...

All are Process i am apply...Please developer help me......

Try locking your bootloader and rebooting. if it remains unlocked it's time for RMA/warranty cause you emmc is gone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apurbamajumder:
How to locking bootloader.. Please
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niflheimer:
Install ADB/fastboot drivers . There's a thread in the stickies with the 10 seconds adb driver.

Press and hold volume down and power ( with the phone OFF ).

Connect phone to pc

open a command window .

change path to where you installed adb/fastboot ( e.g. if you installed in C:\ADB you would type cd c:\adb )

type fastboot devices . there should be a long string of numbers. If so , all is good. If not (and you get a message like waiting for devices) then you did something wrong. return to step 1

type fastboot oem lock . this will lock your bootloader.

Reboot the phone into bootmanager ( see step 2)

If it says bootloader locked all is good . Proceed to unlock it with the command fastboot oem unlock

If nothing changes ... it's time for warranty.

And stop using toolkits if you dont know what they do!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:

How to say? mymotherboard replace But my mobile is ON !!!!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niflheimer:
The internal memory got corrupted too bad to recover. Since you can't replace it alone ( at least in a cost effective way) the entire motherboard needs to be replaced.

Sure , LG/Google will probably just slap a new emmc on that board once it gets in their factory and put it up for the refurbished list but ... that doesn't mean you can do it.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSari:
I've always been an iPhone user (iPhone 5S 32GB)... but been using the Moto G for a few months as my 2nd (for work) phone.. and it's a bit weird using android as my primary phone now since my beloved iPhone was stolen from me!! :(

anyway, and since this is my only phone now, I'll be using it until I make up my mind between the Note 4 and 2 or 3 other top notch phablets... yeah I think I'm leaving the bitten Apple for good, and for many reasons..

my question is:

When will the moto G get this LP update.?! why not release it to all android phones at once?!

phone model and other info attached, also attached is something weird I noticed...

why does this phone have 2 IMEI s ?

first post in 4 years.. wow!

Thank you all..

iSari
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] douglasroos:
I have a better question. Why don't you try to read in google and the other 100 posts with questions about LP update? Also about updating all phones at once. Did you even noticed that all android phones comes from different makers? Is their call to update or not their phones
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarckozZ:
Hi... Do you read the package of the phones you buy man? You have a dual SIM Moto G, thats why you see two IMEIs there.

And there is no news about official L yet. And they dont release at once because it takes time to develop Android, so the dev teams from Moto work to release the update in batches. All you have to do is wait.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sgt-Hartley:
Official L is out on gpe..
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarckozZ:
I was about to mention that but he wasnt asking about GPE.. So I ommited that.. My bad.. Also as he was an iPhone user, maybe he has not all the knowledge to dare unlocking the bootloader and convert his XT1033 onto GPE.. So I suggest to wait... And buy a Nexus 6 man!!!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sgt-Hartley:
O

Yeah +1 on all of that haha. Mmmm N6 yes please.

Sorry wasn't being rude didn't know If you knew about L for gpe, you could of missed one of the million or so threads about converting or flashing or bricking as the the lollipop saga continues, never seen so much madness over an ota, the amount of people risking devices instead of waiting a few days/weeks. I'll be having nightmares soon :p

[Nexus 6  General] Julian_os:
(WINDOWS ONLY)

It only works if you have checked "allow oem unlock" in Dev options! If you cannot do that (because bootloop for example) you cant use that tool

This Tool flashes Android 5.0.1 Lollipop to your Nexus 6 Automatically in about 2 mins.

You dont need to know anything about flashing.

You can use that Tool if your Device is in Bootloop/ Bootloader Mode and Normal State.

(Tested it from Bootloop/ Bootloader and from Normal State with Bootloader locked and some times with Bootloader unlocked)

I will update it with new Lollipop Builds.

Would be nice if you try this out and give me Feedback!

After flashing kernel boot.img with flashtool, it shows cynagon mod logo but nothing continues.

So I boot into TWRP v 2.8.0.0 and wipe data, catche.etc and retry to flash cm11 zip through TWRP.

It shows "Kernel does not have support for reading SELinux contexts".

[Samsung Gear VR] Powerslash:
Those cardboard apps could run (and they can with a trick) but they are not using the faster sensors of the Gear VR and don't use the optimized code, that means no <20ms latency, possible lag, judder and the view might not be adjusted to the lenses, unless they would be made compatible with the Gear VR like the game Vanguard V was.

And here is the trick:

Hello everyone,

I did some readings abou my problem and, different from many users that reported battery issues with their tab pros, my tablet shuts down out of the blues and won't turn on using the power button. The only way that I can turn it on is pressing up volume + power button. My battery has not shown any problem, since all times that this problem happened I had it with more than 30%, and when I turn it on it shows the right percentage of battery available. I have my tab rooted with the mondrianwifi snapshot version of CM11. I've used the tablet with the stock room just for a week and this problem didn't happen. Since it was only a week, idk if it's software or hardware issue.

Today it happened 3 times, so idk what to do...

Any suggestions?

Thanks

usb debugging is checked in developer options, phone appears as photon q and mot composite ADB interface in device manager and windows explorer. i have tried 3 usb 2.0 cables and a usb 1 cable. 2 of them were labled as "data cables" and have worked in the past. i have installed the Motorola software previously. only internal storage DCIM and pictures folders are viewable through explorer. i suspect the phone is recognized as being in camera mode but since there is no notification i cant change this. i do have an sd card in the device that is recognised by the operating system. so whats the next step?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Have you tried the original Moto cable?

Have you tried clicking on the notification from the shade and changing the mode?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ashtreylil:
yes i tried the moto cable and what mode toggle? the network one from off to on yes, and i tried the lte off and on, even reset apn's. the only thing that seems to work is a reboot which only works for the first 3 mins or so. issues started after i flashed nightly. im gonna attempt to do a clean install of nightly. if that doesnt work i might have to stick with rc2

edit: im going to have to call the carrier and see which apn they recommend because i have 5 for sprint

nah now my sd card isnt recognised and i dont have a spare or another device to test if its the card. no mount options in the menu. i also figured out that theres a way to change mtp and ptp via the three dots in the storage menu if anyone gets this problem. also i have no service, idk if theres a way to improve reception from the phone.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You seem to have an unending fountain of issues. Try flashing stock and seeing if they persist. You may have a hardware issue.

You should have some sort of way to plug the SD card into your computer - IE a converter card or a USB-to-microSD key. I guess I always make sure the card comes with one kind or another so I have a few laying around... You can buy one pretty cheap too, especially if you have a MicroCenter near you.
