Bad Video quality

I have purchased 2 of these phones about 3 months ago, I personally think the camera quality is terrible, video quality is horrible, and Im not even a big camera user. My wife uses her phone camera constantly, and video is horrible try zooming in on a face from a distance and its all washed out. I have tried different camera apps as well no difference. Today I contacted Sony, and man are they worthless, Im not sure if its a software issue or hardware issue? I thought Sony was one of the main suppliers of cell phone cameras for many different phone manufactures, maybe I'm wrong on that? Anyone have any suggestions, or are we just stuck with a junk camera phone?:confused:
[Sony XA2 Ultra Real Life Review] li0nh3art3d:
Yeah the camera is definitely very mid-range-ish. Probably about like a Samsung J7

I agree Sony support is very unhelpful to. Insisting I must pay to send it to an "authorized technician" smh
[Sony XA2 Ultra Real Life Review] divhandyman:
Its possible that some of the issues are due to software, I know that my cameras were better before all the Sony updates. I did read that XA2 Ultra will get the 9.0 update probably 4th Quarter 2018 and its not even guaranteed that will fix and any camera issues.

Charging speed is mediocre and somewhat disappointing. Snapdragon 630 supports QCQC 4, yet included charger is only 1.5amp, and the QCQC 3.0amp charger I have does not help. It seems the charging speed is throttled by sony
[Sony XA2 Ultra Real Life Review] markwebb:
Charging speed is somewhat fast for me. Mine charged a percentage a minute which is in line with other phones such as Galaxy and Pixel 2.
[Sony XA2 Ultra Real Life Review] yezihp:
XA2 Ultra has a lot of voltage problems with some QC 3.0 chargers...

When it goes QC 3.0/Pump Express+ 2.0 it stops charging... No amps delivered on 11V...

The only charger that is currently working is the Google Pixel charger and charges at 9V...

QC3.0 chargers that i used and only works at 5V...

Failed QC 3.0 list:

1 . Blackweb QC PD charger... Doesnt go 15V sorry just 5V only

2. Sony UCH12.... Doesnt charge when it goes QC 3.0

3. AK QC 3.0... It goes 9V at boot... The IC goes back to 5V...

Success charging list...

Google Pixel Charger: static 9V Power Delivery no random IC changes so far...

I highly recommend using Power Delivery chargers WITHOUT QC label on it. It stays static at all the times...

I recommend using Satechi voltage tester if you have trust issues charging with this phone...

Ill update the success and fails charger list... I'll be selling the sony chargers IRL cuz im disappointed...

Model: TC G1000-US

For now stick with the Google Pixel charger

I did notice that the battery would drain more in standby than when i make a phone call. also if i disable all of Googles permissions the phone gets too hot. The battery will last less than one day while in standby. My oneplus one can still beat the x2a in terms of battery life. I hope AOSP or sailfish 3 will fix this. :eek:

we need root

Standby mode is decent for me but then I use Doze to turn off some apps when in standby.

Hi Folks

Well, here it is, ported from what I did for the Polaris basically... I find it's a nice solution as it works by flashing your device with a patched radio and changing stuff properly, anyway...

download and run the EXE, follow the instructions.

bear in mind if you already have Hard-SPL on your device you can skip *straight* to Step 2.

and remember the golden rule:

YOUR DEVICE MUST BE IN CE AND SYNCED BEFORE RUNNING EACH STEP.

Download Here or Download Here

UPDATE: now version v2.0 - Model ID error fixed, it WORKS.

if and when you get success, POST!

PS: If you try to sell this, I will find you, kill you, and sell your ****ing testicles on eBay
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Olipro:
Yes, apologies, my error, new version uploaded
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Penske MB:
So what is the status now?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Falcon2008:
I found this solution does not work on all of devices. But my solution is as follows.

Run KaiserUnlocker.exe

1. I started with the Step 1. The upper button of total 3.

2. Go through the menus and accept everything.

3. You get TRI-COLOR screen on your device and a few seconds later you get the USB label.

4. After some time you get a communication error Message. DON'T RESET YOUR MOBILE DEVICE. DON'T TOUCH IT.

5. Press Exit to quit KaiserUnlocker.exe on your Desktop machine.

6. Unplug and replug the USB cable.

7. Start the KaiserUnlocker.exe again and wait a little bit.

8. Your mobile device (AT&T Tilt) suddenly alive again. The progressbar shows up and you're from 0% to 100% in a few seconds. Wait a little bit and then you get the message the process is finished.

Now I don't know what to do with step 2 and 3. Should I perform them or not. Hmm?

What I would like to do is just to update from AT&T Tilt ROM to original HTC TyTN II ROM
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Olipro:
AS I said before.

REDOWNLOAD IT.

I just tested the flash on my Kaiser, it's fine, no pissing Model ID error at all.

however, to avoid any confusion, download AGAIN and this time you'll find that the version in the debug output is changed to v2.0

so if you don't see v2.0, you don't have the new one
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Falcon2008:
Oh I see you changed the version now. At the time I downloaded it and wrote my first message it was just V1. There was no V2. But I can't test it now because I already have the ROM patched.

And I didn't get the ModelID error. It was a connection error 260.

I think it's just some guys of you are lucky to have a device that doesn't get the white screen when using hardspl and it doesn't stop on tri-colors or the progressbar at 0%.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Olipro:
actually, it's steps 2 and 3 that I care about, having a patched ROM is irrelevant.

step 2 and 3 allow you to sim/CID unlock
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] elrooster:
Mirror:

Kaiser Unlocker v2.0

Just to be safe! :D

Thanx Olipro
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Penske MB:
Sorry for asking, what do you mean by "your device must be in CE"?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
I did re-download after you said it didn't work. I must have downloaded it before it was fully uploaded. I did see the V2.0 NOw...this time no errors.

Thanks again :) Works perfect now. Thank again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Lostwarriorram:
It Works!

This is awesome. I was trying with Jocky's unlocker for couple of hours. No luck.

Gave a try to this tool. Unlocked first time. Now, I got to check my phone with a different provider SIM.

Thank you so much!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Penske MB:
Done, but I saw that you have change the radio version to 1.70.xxx. What radio is this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] elmoono:
Does this mean that the unklocker installs Hard SPL permanently - so future rom flashes are possible? what does device in CE mode mean?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cmonex:
it's 1.58.something, i forget the rest
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] papamopps:

Active sysnc

Hi Olipro,

Thanks for all the hard work.

When I try to run the step 1, it keeps on disconneting the active sysnc. Am I doing something incorrectly?

Cheers

Shan
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Lostwarriorram:
These were my steps,

1. Identified my AT&T radio ROM & downloaded that from XDA website as a backup. Pick from here

2. Ran Pof's HardSPL Link

3. Ran Jocky's SuperCID & Security Unlocker Link

4. Installed Dutty's Official WM6.1.2.19199 Full Version Link

5. Installed Radio ROM 1.64.06.04 Download

6. Installed .NET Framework 2.0 on my Windows XP SP2 from Microsoft website.

7. Ran OliPro's Kaiser SIM/CID Unlocker. Followed just step 2 & 3 since I had already installed HardSPL.

8. Installed Radio ROM 1.64.06.04 to get my ringtone & HSDPA connection.

May be my steps 3 ~ 5 were over kill but that was just me. If you would like to skip 3 ~5 make sure you have WM 6.1 installed also remember to patch your original radio on step 8.

All the above steps does not need a strange SIM. I am yet to pop in a different carrier SIM to confirm about my Tilt Unlock Status. However, after the above steps, I found "Kaiser Unlock.exe" under my Tilt root folder. I ran that from phone, clicked on check SIM Status, came up as "You are already SIM Unlocked"

Hope this helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Olipro:
when you run step 3, just query what simlocks are active
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] NiteStalker:
Worked on my AT&T Tilt!

Not sure about step one already had SPL done with Whitescreen Fix

I will try it monday when my friend brings his tilt over to get it unlocked.

I did have to install a 6.1 ROM (I used Dutty's Official) between steps 2 and 3, had a blank screen, using the att rom -bloatware.

I have installed wm6.1 succesfully. The problem now is that the pda is sim locked. When i insert my pin, it says" checking SIM lock status, please wait..."

Which part do i have to remake again? Have i failed in anything?

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] svarada:
As i can read int the sim unlocker method of jockyw2001 :

"Note for WM6.1 users

================

Do not try this on 6.1! You will need to downgrade to 6.0"

Have i to downgrade to sim unlock my pda? or is the any method with wm6.1?

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] XtreMe_G:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] svarada:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tyguy:
Slight problem:

I tried last night the unlocker but - no success.

Activesync green

Start prog

Get tri-color screen but NO USB or serial and SPL 1.93 CPLD 8

Strange enough, I can start jumpSPL locally (both versions) and they come up tri-color WITH USB.

I tried to go into jumpSPL by "camera button + stylus" and it comes up (1.93).

Started unlocker and the process bar shows up at the PC and at the screen BUT wont start (waited at least 10 min. for the error message).

Could recover without any problems hard-reset and installed my AT&T ROM again.

Any idea what I do wrong?

Ohh well IF I do NOT start the unlocker and just get into tri-color screen my PC recognizes a new USB device from Qualcom (which I guess is OK)...

Current ROM information attached.

Guess I'll wait anyway for a real good working 6.1... without too many proggies included.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Thunder_PC:
Thanks for the work Olipro! It worked flawlessly for me. (from AT&T 1.62.502 rom)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] xxfoolxx:
HELP!!

just got a Tilt today. I need help, been at this for hours. already searched. someone please help a NOOB.

loaded up the Kaiser Unlocker.

step 1 - got to the tri-color screen, USB showed up on my screen, unplugged and replugged, status jumped to 100%.

step 2 - completed successfully.

did not flash a WM6.1 ROM

Step 3 - started, but no progress, so i unplugged the USB

got a black screen after ATT crap loaded. panicked and flashed the ATT radio on and got back my screen. so i thought i'd try Kaiser unlocker again. did everything exactly the same in Step 1 from before. Went to step 2 but now it says "Incompatible Device". in active sync, the name shows up as WM_Michael, instead of HTC 8900 as it was before. Michael's my first name so that's where that's from. but I'm lost now. PLEASE HELP!

****EDIT

Nevermind.... was too impatient to wait...hahah. Flashed both radio and ROM back to WM6.0 and used JockyW's sim unlocker and it worked! Thanks for bearing with my noobness though.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bpapa9013:
new to Kaiser, not new to ROM updating/unlocking/etc.

Thanks for the great program Oli!

I didn't quite follow the bit about unplugging/replugging the USB when the transfer starts in steps 1/2. But I figured it out by reading farther into the thread...

Otherwise everything worked great!

I just upgraded from an MDA/Wizard to the Tilt/Kaiser and I am happy to find that all of the unlocking/ROM cooking/upgrading is just as well handled for this device (if not even eaiser) as it was for the MDA/Wiz...

I love this forum, and everyone here, thanks especially to you Oli for this prog and to everyone else in general as well!

P.S. - Are you the same Oli that dev-ed the Omap-Scalar for the MDA that I used and loved for many years?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Jonas768:
Sorry for asking this (maybe) stupid question:

Is it possibly to unlock the tilt without having an ATT SIM-Card? Or doesnt the Cellphone start completly with this card?

If its not possibly i would need to cross over to San Diego to get me one of those GoPhone-SIMs everybodys talking about...

EDIT: I still didnt got it shipped to me. Just to set it up fast im a little worried because im leaving to a roundtrip in Mexiko on the 18th
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] XtreMe_G:
you dont need any sim to be in the device to use this unlocker (i think). wouldnt hurt to try though
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Olipro:
yeah, you don't need a SIM in, actually, sometimes WM can become a pain in the arse if you do have a (locked) one in

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] D@niel:

Whenever i run step 2 to flash the radio on Kaiser Unlocker whether by Olipro or jocky, I can no longer boot to Windows, my Tilt not producing any sound during the startup 3G splash screen and it just display black with some colored dots when I try to do anything. I have to flash it back to Radio 1.27.14.09 to get it to work. Any idea?

edit:

Actually i got it to work.. so after i got to the black screen. I update my phone to wm 6.1 with dutty rom where I can finally see the windows mobile screen then I go to step 3 on kaiser unlocker by olipro. Then I need to flash the radio again (i use ver 1.58.26.20) available here. If I tried to flash it back to ROM 1.27.14.09 which is my original radio version before, I cannot get any sound. Now I can use T-Mobile sim on my AT&T Tilt :D

After figuring out for some time how to get HardSPL installed (no white-screen-fix was required but had Error 260 and this stopping at 0% thing)

I followed your instructions (exept putting the german nothrills-rom) and it worked perfect!

The only problem i got is that i need a keyboard-fix. I know that there is one for the English ROM if you have a tilt. But a german one? Any ideas?

EDIT: Keyboard-Fix also works. After some thinking it came up to me, that it should work with any language as it just puts the new layout and dosnt care about the existing one
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] carlos_polanco:
Finally It worked!

Hi to all,

Let me tell you that I tried and tried for HOURS and nothing happened...

On STEP 3 [When I choose ON THE PHONE what I want to unlock] I checked SIM and CID and then OK [On the right-top].

BUT, When I check SIM and CID I'm supposed to click "COMMIT CHANGES"!!! and then OK.

It sounds stupid, I KNOW, but maybe that's happening to other people that are not reading well like me.

I've unlocked my 8125 and 8525 some time ago and this is the first PPC that I have problems unlocking!

I hope this little "misunderstanding" help others in this forum.
