SonyStyle in Costa Mesa, CA is pretty horrible.

It's obvious that Sony has nothing until the next shipment since Sony blew this launch.

But they actually had a Katrina answer the phone and confirm that they have a non-working display model in available for viewing.

Of course, going into the store, there was no display model, they sold the "last" one they had "on display", and a Katrina denies they ever had a display model.

Reviewing their BBB rating of an F- helps them too. Thanks Sony, really convinces me I should buy more products from you.
[XPERIA X1 General] charchar03:
Order X1 from sony style on 11/22, shipped 11/23, received x1a silver on 11/29 (ground shipping). I guess I got lucky. :p
[XPERIA X1 General] NuShrike:
Well, checking with them Dec 8th, they're"back ordered" until January in-store and online. Well, that certainly blows it for Fuze transplanting.

Nice job Sony! We knew you could do it again!
[XPERIA X1 General] wickedday:
January 13th Release date

According to Sony Style the units start shipping January 12th. Per BestBuy the release date is January 13th.

Did Sony really uncover an issue or did they grossly underestimate demand?

I think I'll wait until the Touch HD is released to support the US market.
[XPERIA X1 General] netnerd:
what issue? i have X1a and i dont have any issues! i believe "recall" is just a BS excuess!
[XPERIA X1 General] wickedday:
Then perhaps -- at best -- SE's issue is one of underestimating demand. I suspect they shorted production for the X1a, due to a lack of carrier sponsorship (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile). Or perhaps it's the economy. Delays upon delays does not inspire confidence in what was to be a major launch. And there's the Android OS story... and now layoffs... Clearly something is wrong.
[XPERIA X1 General] leesanhua:
i was wondering why do you have to buy from sony style?
[XPERIA X1 General] technillion:
Did you get the chance to test this out??

...I should probably start by asking did you get your hands on a X1a? or were they recalled before you got one?
[XPERIA X1 General] ohiosux:
I think it's just a PR excuse. Sony stores that don't have it quote the recall thing. A Sony store that I know had it and sold out of it is suddenly giving me the recall story. PS2 shortage, PS3 shortage and now X1 shortage. This is par for the course with Sony.

By the way, I finally received mine on Dec. 8th. Best WinMo phone ever if you can bear to wait. Sony may be a disgrace as a company, but their products sure have always been above average.

You gotta wonder how organized a company can be that plays the theme from Zelda at the PS3 launch. Another feather of shame in their cap. At least Blu-ray didn't turn into another Betamax!

The love/hate relationship continues....
[XPERIA X1 General] netnerd:
just like Wii or WiiFit, they sold out within a few hours after releases.

that is y "recall" BS is believable to some people since you can't buy it the next day. I bought at sonystyle.com, where is my "recall" mail?

I believe it' required by law to notify all the owners if there' a "recall".
[Google Pixel 6] Bad Bimr:
Have a New Pixel 6 (unlocked) I bought on PrimeDay. Currently on Xfinity which is Verizon MVNO. Do I install the Verizon VMNO image because I am using that carrier or do I install the regular image (non-Verizon) because it's not a Verizon phone? Also on a side note, some images are labeled as "softbank," "EMEA" and "APAC,"what do these refer to?

Thank you in advance
[Google Pixel 6] Homeboy76:
@Bad Bimr

12.1.0 (SQ3A.220705.003.A3, Jul 2022, Verizon, Verizon MVNOs)

Why?

The factory/OTA image are based on the carrier not the Manufacturer. 😀

Pixel 6 Guide

Which Factory/OTA image should I Use?
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
How did you come by this answer? Because I've been rocking Nexus and Pixel devices since 2014 and at no time have I ever installed a factory image based upon the source of my wireless service.

The correct image @Bad Bimr should be using is the non-Verizon image. Reason being his device is a) an unlocked model and b) does not have mmwave 5G, which Verizon uses in addition to standard sub-6 5G.

Installing a Verizon image on a non-Verizon device could lead to some VERY undesirable results, namely a permanently locked bootloader as Verizon locks bootloaders and will NOT unlock them.
[Google Pixel 6] Bad Bimr:
I actually installed the Verizon/MVNO software. Bootloader is still unlocked. Phone seems to work OK but it's only been a day. When the August build comes out I may try the non Verizon build, best yet maybe I will call google and ask them, not that they would know.
[Google Pixel 6] Homeboy76:
My Google Pixel phone (with an unlockable bootloader) was purchased from Google but my carrier was Verizon. So, I used the Verizon Factory/OTA image when it was available. When it wasn't available I used the Global Factory/OTA image on my phone.

I think, IMHO, Google Pixel phone owners can use either the Carrier Factory/OTA image or Global Factory/OTA image. :)
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Except for the fact an unlocked device always downloads the unlocked update if you let the P6 update itself. Now, you may be totally on point about being able to use either image, but given Verizon's penchant for f**kery, why take the risk?
[Google Pixel 6] Homeboy76:
I didn't know Google phones with unlocked bootloader's that take automatic updates always receive the Global OTA image because I do not take automatic updates.

If it is true all Google Pixel unlocked bootloader phones that receive automatic updates download the Global OTA image. I think people with Google Pixel phones that do not take the automatic updates should use the Global Factory/OTA image.
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
Installing a Verizon factory image or OTA on a non-Verizon model Pixel won't lead to a locked bootloader.
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I admit to not having tried it myself. I still wouldn't risk it however, even though in this case "Verizon" applies to that variant of P6 and isn't a sign of Verizon digging its grubby paws into the system.

I simply feel it is better to be safe here than sorry.

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] lifehacker69:
My front camera stopped working suddenly. Whenever I switch to the front cam in the camera app, it freezes. I tried changing various ROMs but the same result. Is my front camera busted? What is the likelihood of it being water damaged?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
Try to flash stock ROM via PC and miflash.

If the front cam isn't working again in my opinion then hardware damaged.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] abhiastic:
Hey did you find any way to fix it?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] lifehacker69:
This is a very big problem. Xiaomi fkd up big time. Users who updated their phones with miui 13 faced this issue. The service center guys are telling me it is a motherboard issue and asking 10k for the repair. Even though it is a faulty update that is the problem. Hundreds of users are facing this issue. I am thinking of registering a consumer complaint. Why should we pay for their mistake?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] BigChungus321:
A lot of users (especially those manufactured in 2021) have this issue with front camera dying. I'm not entirely sure whether devices manufactured in 2022 have this issue fixed as far as I know, no one has reported having the front camera dead yet in those units but I think it is because of the device being new, we'll see.

According to users from Telegram, this happens because the thermal paste in the motherboard melted or disconnected. So heat plays a big factor with the front camera dying. Next symptoms, again according to users who reported, will cause the audio from the speakers to be lowered to the point where it is silent, next is screen dying and possibly bricking the phone.

Meaning, that even if you're on MIUI with a locked bootloader or on a Custom ROM, you won't be safe from the front camera dying. Thermal management has been a big issue with our device as even I can't prevent the phone from easily reaching 40°C. But, there are more reported cases of front camera dying on Custom ROM users or those that flash a different ROM frequently than those on Stock MIUI.

As for the fixes for this issue, only option is to go to the nearest Service Center and claim warranty (if applicable) or request for the motherboard to be fixed. Another option would be to go to a local repair shop and ask for a CPU Reballing of the motherboard.

For preventing this issue, I would say to never let the device get hot. I'd say at around 38-40°C would be the stopping point and let the device cool off. Following what Xiaomi's regulation on the recommended device temperature of 0-40°C found in safety thingy in About Phone (stock rom).
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] lifehacker69:
I am not paying anything. I am going to consumer court. This happened with poco x3 pro too and they all got either motherboard replaced or a new phone entirely.

I joined that telegram group and others too want a replacement.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] BigChungus321:
Welp good luck then. Yeah on Poco X3 Pro case it's even worse with the whole phone bricking. I think Poco M2 Pro has the same issue as sweet with the front cam dying situation too. I guess going for cheap options does sometimes bite you back.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] pinngguu:

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ElvPresidente:
I have had the same issue with custom ROMs recently, but when I flashed the official ROM back onto my phone this morning, I got the camera functionality back. I then went through the process of flashing a custom ROM onto my phone and then the camera issue was back again.

I've been searching since last night on how to fix this? I had an Android 12 version of Evo-X on my Poco x3 NFC, and that worked fine, the issue only arising when I updated to the Android 13 version.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
Imho it could be a missing camera driver in that A13 custom rom. (I had this too with RN8 and A10 custom).

You can check the drivers with the app "Device info HW" and see how many camera drivers are installed under "supported"

If you do this with stock and custom A13 rom and you count less camera drivers on the last one, that could be the reason.

In the picture you see 12 camera drivers inside CrDroid 7.16
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ElvPresidente:
I've also been getting the same issue with A12 based ROMs however.

I flashed the default MIUI back onto my phone last night and its currently working as normal again.

Disappointing because stock MIUI is awful.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Mattfun:

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] Bad Bimr:
Currently on a bootloader unlocked and rooted (Magisk Canary) Pixel 4a5G on Xfinity. Phone was bought at Xfinity (Verizon VMNO) and unlocked by them. I believe it is technically a Verizon phone but it is unlocked.

Phone worked flawlessly until recently. I tried to update to the latest July build removed Magisk, removed -w from the flashall,bat file, The update failed and the phone would not boot. Rebooting my computer and changing the USB port allowed my to do the update again and it took. Phone worked fine and the only thing I noticed is when opening an app the app image would flash on the screen before the app opened, it never did that before. About a week after the update on a drive to the beach I plugged the phone in the USB port of my car as did not realize it was not charging until later in the day when it was at 13% charge. Thinking nothing of it or a faulty cable, i charged it with the stock google charger when I arrived at my destination. It charged without issue for the next 2 days but on the 3rd day I plugged it in to charge only to later discover it was not charging. I rebooted the phone and it started to charge. That night the same thing happened, it would not charge, that is when I saw the Charging Connected Device Via USB notification. When you press "tap for more options" the USB controlled by CONNECTED DEVICE is highlighted. Only if you highlight THIS DEVICE will the phone charge. I cleaned the USB port, rebooted into safe mode, did everything except a hard reset and can not get this to go away. It is there after a reboot,, I have a new Pixel 6 I started to configure and when prompted to connect to old device to copy files the Pixel 4a5G would not cooperate and would fail trying to switch to "this device" as stated earlier. I have no idea what to do, I 'm hoping a hard reset will work but cannot do one as I am away from home and if it fails I will be without a phone.

All help will be greatly appreciated, Thank You all in advance!View attachment 5684243

Same exact problem with a Samsung Galaxy Note9.

Did you ever find a solution?

I can charge wirelessly and I can charge with the phone "Powere3d Down" or "OFF" ... but can't charge via USB cable while Powered On and can't shake the "Charging Connected Device" status and can't change Control of USB to "This Phone" from PHANTOM "Connected Device"

Please send any working solution to Beauvaidos@gmail.com
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] Beauvaidos:
By George ... I think I've got it ...

Android System - Charging connected device via USB - Tap for other USB options

Once this Notification makes itself known, I was unable to charge my phone (Galaxy Note9) except in certain special scenarios;

- The Phone was turned off

- The Phone was turned on ... connected to a charger - then I tapped the Notification and chose "This Phone" to control the USB/Charge Port

The reason the problem started was because I connected the phone to a Rental Car using Android Auto ... that connection changed the USB Control Defaults to do things like "Auto Start AndroidAuto" ... Auto Play Music via Android Auto ... The phone now expected to see Android Auto "ALL The Time".

Reconnect your charge Cable - Click on the Notification - Choose "This Phone" to control the USB/Charge Port ... it should start charging again.

Reconnect the Phone to the offending External Device (Game Cntroller, Storage Device, AndroidAuto, etc) and change the "Automatic or Default Settings" for that device so that The Phone's USB/Charge Port isn't controlled by that external device.

I hope this works for you as well as it worked for me ... Good Luck

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Dougmeister:
Moto Q (original). Was installing some new programs, trying out some new things, now Pocket IE won't start. Error message comes up:

"Alert!

Can't find 'MortScript' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available."

I was using MortScript to make the Bluetooth easier to turn on/off, and recently implemented the "disable battery fully charged" hack, but those were working fine until today.

Installed some things like: dif't versions of JBED Esmertec, JZSmartMort (probably the problem?), SprintTV (doesn't work on the Moto Q, I know, but I wanted to try... :( ), pocketNester Plus, zaDesktopSP, and BeyondPOD.

I tried uninstalling JZSmartMort, but no luck. Also tried uninstalling/reinstalling MortScript, sometimes to storage card, sometimes to device, still no luck.

Any ideas? Shortcut appears to be still pointing to the executable, but I can't find an "MSPIE.EXE" in the \Windows folder?

pie.lnk is: "21#:MSPIE?(colon)pieapp" (replaced : with colon to avoid smiley)

Help, please. Thanks...

These two informations in the opening post are a bit missleading:

1. "Reignz Latest recovery recommended"

Haven"t seen that available for Whyred (correct me if i"m wrong). Official TWRP or PixelOS recovery should be recommended instead

2. "Silvercore Kernel Included"

That is also not true, unless it"s hidden under "4.4.302-Minimal™-EAS-QTI_Haptic-R26

No problem :)

Found one bug hough. Already reported through PixelOS group chat, but it most likely got burried under tons of other things.

5Ghz WI-FI Hotspot doesn"t work.Tried and tested it in 3 screnarios. Every time according to hotspot on/off toggle it turned on

Scenario 1

Whyred is not connected to any WI-FI network. So it just works as classic hotspot

After enabling the hotspot no new WI-FI appeares. Attached logcat (h5g.log - via pastebin) and dmesg present this situation.

"https://pastebin.com/embed_js/6BQUPkmb"

Scenario 2

Whyred is connected to 5Ghz WI-FI network and is supposed to share it using hotspot

After turning it on, no new WI-FI network appeares.

Scenario 3

Same as scenario 2, but whyred is connected to 2,4Ghz network. Attempt to turn hotspot on seems succesfull, but produced Wi-FI network is 2,4Ghz instead of 5Ghz.

Sorry for such big dmesg file, but i did"t know the command to erase the previous entries from it before producing the file.

[Vivo X Fold] Mr.Kakarot:
Hello all,

Hopefully this thread can be an open arena for learning, troubleshooting, experiences etc. I am in Canada on Bell and 5g works fine but it has not VoLTE in Canada which is huge. I am using Nova Launcher and round icons with no real issues. However, notifications has been a pain in my ass. I get them in the notification tray but no indication of the icons themselves. I love the phone and have no problem with the slow annoying setup. It fits great in the hand and "feels" lighter then my fold3 because of the proper size specs imo. The front screen is so good size wise, I never open the device, which helps with the battery life obviously. I have been forcing myself to game with it open, to see how it operates and uses battery etc.

The phone looks and feels beautiful, great cameras, decent battery life and amazingly fast charging with the INCLUDED 80 watt wired charging, 50w wireless! The back of the phone is nice and does not need a case imo it also feels more stable and less delicate to the Samsung offerings. I am about to try and get my Samsung galaxy watch4 classic to work.... I will update as we go. Since I have notification issues and was missing texts, I went back to the main messaging app but for everything else, I replaced the stock apps.

I do miss the 10x of my samsung s22 ultra but overall the camera is nice for a fold. I love the volume slider. The setup time is far more advanced then our usual devices, so it is not for the faint of heart.

I am going to try and do my watch and try to get notifications to work properly, right now.

If you need any information from me or my phone in Canada, please ask away. Any tips and tricks appreciated but I have followed the few youtube videos.

**first issue, setting up the watch is not straight forward or easy... says my device is not compatible. I tried the Chinese wearos and the normal wearos and galaxy wearable plug in.
