Really slowpoke

So for now we still don't have any informations about Lollipop release?
[Xperia Z General] Pandemic:
Still no LP for the XZ users here ?

We had already 3 minor updates for the Z2
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Of course they're going to support their newer devices first. The fact the more than 2 year old Z is getting Lollipop at all is good enough.

Wew! Good for you! Applause :D

And you still have time to post here! LP must be really cool then ;)
[Xperia Z General] natibongo:
It's not that Xperia Z users are too eager to get Lollipop, it's just that we want to compare it to Kitkat in terms of stability, performance, lag-free and above all battery life and then we all would make a decision as to whether we'd go for Lollipop or stay with Kitkat
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
It's better in every aspect. That is my personal experience.
[Xperia Z General] natibongo:
Well [MENTION=988705]gbil[/MENTION], I suppose you are a tester and after that screenshot you posted went viral we've not seen any.

Could you be kind enough to post another?

I know in the past you said no ETA

But please try :)

No I'm not a beta tester :)

Candy crush soda is my game so I opened it -> hit back -> quit -> open -> etc etc etc 30 or something times. result

Before:

That is true
[Xperia Z General] doby_p:
This is just an assumption, but is looking more and more likely since there's still no PTCRB certification.

Come on guys. There's no PTCRB certification yet, so that means it's cancelled? Unless Sony says it's cancelled, then it's still coming. Just be patient.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Audiomad:
I recently bought a Lenovo s820 it was not until I got the phone did I realize that it has its own security software but its the most aggressive software I've ever come across.

The software is called secureit a chinese app created by Lenovo, I rooted my phone to uninstall bloatware most of it being in chinese so I decided to remove the security app but it put a message up on the screen "an android icon and message" telling me of a security error, the message and icon where transparent and not removeable, I had no choice but to find the app again and reinstall but not until after it blocked my sim card.

The app scans everything that you do on the phone, every app install requires your permission, every call is scanned as it tells you your call is secure and its always working in the background. The menu is also in chinese and there does not seem to be many ways to customize how it functions.

So is there a way to remove it without it bricking my phone or throwing up security warnings?

3. i tried to pull out the battery and the sd card.

if anyone can help me fast i will thank him a lot!!!!!

sorry for the bad english.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Are you able to get into download mode (press and hold Volume -, Home, and Power)? If so, head over to sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com and download the latest ROM for your device. To know which ROM to get, you need to know what carrier you are using and the model of the S4. Once the ROM is downloaded, install it via Odin to stop your bootloop. Afterwards, root, then install TWRP 2.8.6.0. Do not install Philz as that recovery is no longer being developed, and may not function correctly with Android 5.0.1 or later.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XelionX:
yes i can get into download mode but i have some problemes :

1) odin always crash on my pc it happens every time i connect everything as i need to and then when i click start it crash and i dont know why i tried to serch via web but.... nothing.

2) i dont know realy what is my model the only thing that i know is : galaxy s4 i9505 is there any way i can know without looking inside the phone in setting.

thank you for everthing!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
For Odin, try a different port on your PC, always use the original USB cable whenever possible, and make sure Kies isn't installed or if installed, isn't running. Try a different PC if necessary.

Regarding your S4, is it unlocked? If not, what carrier are you using, and what country are you located in?

Hi, can anyone advise as to why I lose the all sounds on an Orange Branded M3100 phone, other that Microsoft voice command 1.6 no other software has been installed! The details of the ROM are as follows

Operator Version: 14.123.1.614

ROM Version: 1.23.61.4

ROM Date: 07/13/06

Radio Version: 1.06.00.00

Protocol Version: 32.37.7010.01H

Here what happens no sound on the phone, reset the phone sound is now back, after a while, don’t know how long but the sound disappears, you get no ringing sound, menu click sounds nothing, reset the phone again and all is back, so it would suggest that it’s not a hardware failure but a software failure, how can I stop the orange branding installing itself after a cold reset in case something there is causing the problem, has anyone else came across this problem?

This is a brand new phone only received it Friday, does it need to go back?

Kind Regards

Dogo

I've recently noticed on my 8525 too, after a while it seems to just go on silent but the setting isn't changed it still set to on and no sound comes out of the phone no matter what program is used.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dogo:
Phew, I thought it was just me..

I have noticed it may be something to do with the Bluetooth ear piece, although it always seems to happen when I have left the phone a while. and never when I try to check for the problem
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
To isolate whether this is hard or software you could try doing a full backup. Do a hard reset and let the device run for as long as it would normally take to show the problem, without any additional software. But do run wifi and power intensive applications to warm up the device - as this can cause internal connector problems.

If the problem is gone, this will tend towards a software problem although not an absolute guarantee. There are some issues that are related to both soft and hardware!! For example the screen fading to white issue can be caused by running (power intense) software that makes the device warm and that in turn causes pressure to be put on the screen.

A final thought, the speaker connection block is next to the stylus tip. There have been cases of the inserting and removing of the stylus causing the connector to become loose. This can cause intermittent sound or no sound at all. The warranty voiding fix is easy. Remove back and check connection is tight. No further dismantling needed. Ensure camera toggle arm is engaged before putting screws back in. (Rear Speaker)

The front speaker can also have issues. has spring contacts that can become slack - poor contact with m/board. There is a thread on checking this.

No Sound, not a Stylus issue

8525, ms voice dial 1.6,

HTweakC 2.0,

SBP Mobile Shell 1.0.0 build 2632.

ROM 1.34.502.1

radio 1.16.00.00

This has been happening about a week, nothing new installed. On Saturday I missed 12 calls because it was "auto-muted" nothing was on mute, just no ring sounds or anything else. I thought it might be some setting, I suspected that it didn't come back after I had set on vibrate for a meeting, so I went through everything, looks good. had to soft reset for audio to come back. Happened again Yesterday morning after being on charger, had to soft reset, happened again this morning after being on charger, had to soft reset. I'm suspicious of the charge ciruits, the phone was placed on a night-stand and I checked to make sure sound was working AFTER i plugged the charger in (i am an on-call engineer for hospitals) when I got up this AM the first thing I checked was the sound, no sound. Had to do a soft reset and sound is fine.

THIS IS VERY, VERY, VERY troubling.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thefunkygibbon:
i cant say that my sound has been "loose"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] brettatk:
yep, I agree. My keyboard slider might be loose, but never had problems with the sound.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wootty2000:
No sound - possible solutions

I too have had the no sound problem, but I also have a solution (well it seems to work for me and a few other people I know)

I have found that if I have more than about 800 sms messages on the phone (combined count across inbox, sent items, deleted etc...) my phone will decide sometimes to stop making any sounds.

Other symptoms include thew screen not going back to the background when problems are "closed" (well press the X button), sometimes not changing from portrait to landscape.

Hitting the reset key temporarily fixes the problem, but it strike again at any time...

I have seen this on both the official UK orange firmwares

As a side note, more than about 1000 sms messages and 5 unread sms messages and the phone will lock up about 10 seconds after the phone boots up. You have to be quick when the phone boots to go in to the sms inbox and delete 1 message before the phone locks up. This can be a bit tricky but i have done it a few times
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wwwes:
from readingmany related threads, it looks like there are several causes for this issue. for me, it was definitely microsoft voice command 1.5 and 1.6. I turned off any notifications from voice command and my problem went away. no calendar voice announcements, no callerid, no bluetooth routing announcements, etc. voice command simply doesn't give up control of the audio sometimes, and it appears to occur most when it wakes up and announces something.

All I use voice command for now is voicedial. try that a while and see if you are fixed.

1.5 was worse, but 1.6 does it too.

good luck!

saga continues

It did it again, twice in one day. Picked up the phone, (it had been resting on the table for several hours). No sound, I tested by placing a call and turning speaker on.. this works! So the speaker (rear) is fine as well as the front (ear).

After I heard the speaker on speaker phone I tried hearing the dial tones or other sounds, none. No incoming ring.

Device and phone volume on FULL

Turn volume off, vibrate, on, off on, and from phone screen turn to vibrate then back to sound

Vibrate still works for inbound calls

Turn voice command off and on

Go to phone (in settings and play the ring I've chosen) and suddenly it’s working again?

I'll try the turning all but phone options in voice command to no-notify. But to tell you straight, this is silly, one more day of this and it's probably (unfortuately) crackberry city for me. I simply can't have a phone that doesn't ring. I guess some ittertation of an O2 would do.. but I'm not too keen on plopping down another 5bills....

any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I have just read your last two posts. I am wondering whether you are saying you have a sound/ringer problem OR whether you mean the phone sometimes crashes and therefore does not ring (i.e. you then need a soft reset) and sometimes you discover you've missed a call but never heard it ring.

If the above is true then I think you need to look for the solutions for avoiding hangs/freezing. I can guide you to these or a search will show them. It certainly does not appear that you have any physical problem with the speaker/earpieces.

Hi, I never had a sound issue untill I started usin my HT820's, but have noticed a few times lately that my device sounds arent working, (I dont mean always through to the bluetooth headset) and I just power off/on the device, I dont get that many calls, so I havent missed any, and wasnt sure if it was rom or bluetooth related for sure, but I do usually leave my bluetooth on, just not always the headsets, it also doesnt happen a whole lot.

I'm not sure if this will help anyone, but i was losing sound on my 8525. I had dropped my phone twice and the rear speaker connection had gotten loose so i opened it up following the directions at http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1152710&page=1&pp=15

and now i have sound again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] labrati:
Continued Issues

Mike, thanks, the issue isn't with the phone locking up at all, it's been very stable, I think I've soft-reset probably 3 times in two months.

The phone literally will stop emitting any sounds. I can still hear if I place a call and if I place that call on speaker phone it's fine. However if you call the phone, try to play an audio file, etc there is no sound that emits from the device.

It did it AGAIN today, I tested, was able to place a call and put it on speaker and called it with my other phone, the pop up screen announcing the inbound call came up and everything else on the phone worked as it should (except no ring). I then went to settings phone and hit ok (top right of screen). BAM.. sound was working on the device again, inbound calls ring, able to play audio etc.

I did note one other possible anomaly, I have my PTT mapped to initiate voice command, when trying to use this I was unable to initiate voice command. After going to phone and pressing OK, voice command started working again. W/O voice command I'm sunk, I have 500+ contacts.

I placed a call to AT&T and I'm back on the "chronic retention" list.. ughhh.. I went through 8 treo's last time. I don't want another basket of refurbs to deal with, I like WM so much better than previous interfaces.. any ideas are very, very, very welcome.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] labrati:
More information

This morning, the sound was gone again, but I went into settings and started playing to see what else might induce it to work again, I tried voice command again, disabled and re-enabled, that didn't work.

I then went into sounds and that didn't work, went into Today, and Buttons neither of those worked, but when I went into input (didn't do anything, just opened it and closed it) sound started working again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bdbx18:
Hopefully, none of you guys have a newer ROM with the loud startup animation and attempted to turn down that volume via the registry as outlined in the wiki. Unfortunately, doing that also lowers the speaker volume so I just disabled the animation instead. Phone and bluetooth sounds fine but mp3 and everything else were also lowered to a whatever level depending on the startupanimation volume you set.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] labrati:
update

It did it to me again yesterday, this time only going to settings phone and pressing OK would make sound come back.

Today, the phone refused to dial or emit any sound. Would not come back after soft reset (would not dial, no sound) had to do a hard-reset (removed battery). After first soft reset a windows came up to advise that mobile voice command couldn't start...

For a darn near $500.00 phone this is pretty sad. Love the phone but gee whiz...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] labrati:
Daily occurance

Well, it does it every single day at least once a day, and I've noticed the phone has slowed a lot, sometimes during SMS or email the cursor goes away or I have to wait 20-30 seconds for words to complete typing after I've finished. I guess I'll get my refurb next week. Perhaps go back to palm.. dunno...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] labrati:
possible fix?

I turned OFF the SMS message sounds and it seems to be working w/o losing sounds again! I'll let it run for a couple of days and see if this is the deal, but I now have no audio announcement for ActiveSync, POP email, SMS, or MMS. I do have audio/vib for missed calls. Anyway, it's been up and running fine all day. Good Grief.
