upgraded my 2i i think...!! - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

Good Morning XDA FORUM..
After having my xda 2i for a little over a year and been lurking around this forum pretty much since i got the thing,
I finally decided to upgrade my rom to the Pug special, with all the O2 guff ripped out + camera upgrade..!!
i'm slightly concerned as it never went as described by many others..??
got everything all set up put the 2i in the cradle hit the button then.........
waiting on it failing as described...... never happened..?? just kept loading till completion..?? then done hard (cold) reset as requested and it all seems good....
So my question is.. why no fail and is that it then.? it seems fine so far..!!
the reason i did the update is that i let the thing go flat about 2-3 weeks ago left the damn thing in the car with the bluetooth on overnight,
when i put the charger in it rebooted without the O2 stuff like a corp install but not..????? was able to do stuff like turn on flight mode and still use my bluetooth gps unit for tomtom..???? is this normal..???
Second question is i'm due an upgrade the choices are either an xda mini s for free or an xda exec for a ton..?? not sure which to go for..????
any feedback welcome ladies and gents...
ok i'll sign off for now
thanks to all who make this forum happen + PUG you ARE the man..!!!
cheers...........

X1 powers down on slide close

Hi there, long time reader, first time poster. After searching on the forum for an answer I am posting for help. I was wondering if anyone else's X1 powers down when they slide the keyboard back in?
At first I thought it was the custom ROM I was using but after flashing back to the official R3 UK ROM it is still happening so I suppose it could affect anyone. Does this happen to you? If so do you know of a solution?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Tristan
I have the same problem but when my keyboard is slided up. When you slide it up, in like 15 seconds it will just turn off. The phone completely shuts off and not just turn off the display. I thought it was a custom rom problem too but i installed a different rom and came up with the same problem. I guess i will send it out to sony and let them fix it, only after softspl and stock rom is installed. But sony does fix it fast! They usually just give you a refurbish xperia instead of fixing your current one.
Ah that's what I mean, when I slide my keyboard in it happens. To be honest it's getting a crack up near the stylus as well (which is odd for one of the black ones I believe) so I definitely need a new one... I'm actually quite disillusioned with the phone altogether after both these problems but I guess Vodafone aren't nice enough to give me a different phone :\
Try closing it slowly(dont make it smash) and see if it still turn-off your unit.
I sometime have the same problem when I closed the slide quickly, so it smash to the another side and my unit went off. I think some power connector, sensor, switch inside must be loose or something.
You are right, I discovered this yesterday that closing it slowly does not power it off BUT today for some random reason the phone has turned itself off whilst doing it slow too. I'm getting quite fed up which is a shame because I quite like the phone.

This is definetely a hardware problem if it recurs accross ROMs. I'd say get a replacement NOW. BTW are you a girl (Tristy sounds like girls name haha)?
Try to insert a small piece of folded paper at the bottom of battery, your x1 may work properly even quick slide. (My x1 has been down the power for quick slide or small impact, but I just fixed it by doing that).

Yeah it's most definitely hardware and I'm afraid not, it's short for Tristan which is much more of a guys name over here.
As for vcivilen, thanks a lot, I'm going to give this a try until Vodafone get their courier here.... whenever that may be.
After getting off the phone (ironically not my x1) with Vodafone they acknowledge that this phone has two recognised problems. 1. This problem 2. sometimes it doesn't pick up business email (not really a concern to myself). Either way they are sending me a "new" x1. I treat the word new with some reserve as they don't stock it in stores anymore. I was assured it would be new but suspect I'll get some refurbished one until this one breaks... and another... haha!

Enjoy your new X1. I am still going to think you're a girl because of the name (it's intuitive when i see tristy).
I'm experiencing this problem as well and I've learned to slide my phone slowly instead of "snapping" it back and forth.
However, when I pass it around my friends, some of them would still snap it hard and cause the phone to reboot. It doesn't happen all the time though.
Going to try vcivilen's trick and see if it works, if not, it is time to send it back to get that and the keyboard fixed...
i had this same issue as well.. and i thought it was the battery.. i did vcivilen's trick b4 as well, but this is in fact of the issue with the bad quality of the casing.. i have mine with cracks issue but i leave it till i got time to bring it to the service centre.. then i got this problem so i put that piece of paper like vcivilen did and it works.. after a few months, my touch screen wont work when its on landscape, wont respond to any touch.. now it wont even rotate the screen. when i open the battery cover, look under the battery and noticed the crack got bigger.. so if u have this issue i suggest you get it fixed b4 its too late.. its still covered by SE since its related to crack issue, but i lost interest in using xperia now, will fix it and sell it ASAP.. omnia touch pro would be my next device..

Trust me - it wont be new.
Slider Problem degenerates into a slow death
I had the same slider problem. After about a week or so of it, it wouldn't turn on. I had to continuously take out the battery, wait 30 seconds then re-insert it. Eventually, applications stopped working, messaging disappeared, etc.
I tried re-installing the OS via Update 4-5 times over the course of about 2 weeks. It would work for a few days then, as before, apps started not working. Some even claimed missing files though I saw the files in file explorer.
I think it was a bad ram chip or something but I really couldn't tell. Since I'm in the Philippines, I took it into a local SE shop for repair. They kept it for 3 weeks "Under Observation" No kidding - that's the exact quote. Like they had an IV and a machine that goes "PING" hooked up to it.
Anyhow, after 3 weeks, they reported the unit as DOA to SE and I had a NEW - not refurbished - unit in my hand within a day.
This new unit is functioning flawlessly so far. I personally think they had a bad run of units of which we all seem to have been sold.

Ah you went directly to SE - yea that is probbably the best thing to do because Vodafone will definatley not give u a new one in the UK -
When you get your new one check to see if it says NN XPERIA X1 or Nearly NEw Xperia X1 - NN=Nearly New meaning it is used/refurbished they were sneaky

I never did think Vodafone would give me a new one but I shall definitely check this when they do deliver it. I do like the phone a lot but it's a shame Vodafone just don't catch on. I know they've stopped selling them in the shops due to a lot of these issues, I honestly think I should be given the option of another phone not just giving me something that could inevitably go the same way as my last one. Oh well... we'll see how this one goes before I rage at them

If u read my "mein Kampf" thread you will know how difficult vodafone can really be - i spent literally 2 hours a day on the phone to them because they never actually made the orders for delieveries and gosh it was just awful but if you make a fuss about not wanting a refurbished one (like i did) i got sent about 5 different x1's being promised they would be new only to find out they were "NN" but at the end i said this phone is the reason i started the contact and they said if you dont want it we can offer you a similar phone but x1 was the only Windows Mbile phone they offered If you ask them they will probbably give you an option for a different phone)
Oh God! I had read that Mein Kampf post before, about 2 or 3 months ago. That was you hey :\ bad times! I think I might see how long this new x1 they're bringing tomorrow lasts. I mean if it can last 6 months like this one has until I'm due an upgrade again then that'd be nice. I know there are a lot of good looking phones coming in the future. And I'm actually quite excited to see Windows Mobile 6.5 on my phone when it's all out of beta and being cooked into some tasty ROMS.
But I think we can both agree Vodafone are being a bit of a letdown. I've been with them for going on 6 years now, you'd think they'd appreciate their long time customers a little more than the possibility of a NN x1
I have same problem too when opening or closing the slider fast or any relatively violent lateral shock on the phone. Seems like some contact is loose inside the phone (Not battery contacts Im afraid). I also have the cracks in usual places.
Hope these problems all stop right here and phone works untill WM7 is ready.
Just tired of all these crap

Xperia T SOD

Hi there everybody, I've been having sudden Sleeps of Death, doing some research have found that may be sd card related, however nothing focused to our beloved T. After some time of inactivity phone won't come on after pressing power button to wake.
Anybody of you having this issue as well? Any advise?
I'm running timin8r stock Rom .233 along with its corresponding kernel, rooted and deodexed and a HP micro sd card, 32gb, class 10.
Thanks and happy holidays everyone!

I also have a 32GB microsd and haven't had any problems myself. Been on this ROM for a few days. It's been downloaded quite a few times and haven't had anyone else complain.
On stock kernel? If yes then sounds odd
Try a fresh install is all I can suggest or get a logcat

I've got a 64gb card in mine and no problems so far. Had my phone for about 6 weeks now.
If I helped hit thanks!
Ok guys, made a clean install from scratch yesterday and the problem is virtually gone, just one sod after a couple of hours of inactivity. However Media Server app is killing my battery, will not cease for hours consuming from 40 to 50%, doing some research they suggest changing sd card and empty it at all, which I've done unsuccessfully.
Could be somehow related? Is it just me having this weird behaviour?
Thanks in advance!

That's expected behaviour on a clean install. Android needs several hours to build all databases. Including media database.
Just wait another charge and see if it gets better

Well, it happened again today´s morning, I´m kind of frustrated here... when everything seemed to be running at last fine and smooth... So I ran the Repair Phone from the PC Companion which just installed the same version that I previously had, .233. And now the waiting.
My T is bootloader locked and no cpu manage apps.
Here a screenshot of the logcat from the aLogcat app just before the last crash.
Will update how is going after the companion repair, and if it continues then will be hardware related I think.
However any advice is always welcome, thanks!
EDIT: Same issue after Companion Phone Repair, and the same at night when entering deep sleep mode. So I've downloaded an app to prevent my T from going to deep sleep and seems to be working.
By the way wise guys any of you have a clue in how often or after how many minutes in lockscreen the phone will go to deep sleep? No info at all in the web and, baseband 33 is supposed to work fine in every network around the globe? I know of course they are location specific but can't find much about radios.
Thanks for helping!

I had some problems with my music database and had to clear the media storage app's database and then reboot the phone to rescan. When I did that the phone battery drained pretty fast for 30 mins or so and then settled down - and media server was shown by batt stats to have done most of the draining.
This might be linked to your problem. If your SD card has corruption on it then the media scanning may get part way through and get stuck, eventually causing a system issue that causes the SoD. It might not even be a corrupt file but some issue when it encounters a particular file due to a bug in the program.
My advice would be to backup card content, reformat and copy files back on slowly over a number of days to see if the SoD issue of happens after a particular file is copied onto the card.
Reformat is an important step here. If you empty your card and just copy the files back on it isn't a clean file system. Reformatting will give you a freshly initialised card to work from.
Thanks for the advise emuX, despite of have done this I could not get it to work. The SOD continued and every day it got worse. So I dropped my T to service via carrier. They held my device for a couple of days to find out that the hardware (just as I suspected) was the guilty department of these sod´s.
In fact they were not able to run a ftf or "flash cam" (never heard of that) since the hardware keys were not responding any more.
An exceptional case so far in the T but of course really annoying and disappointing.
They are to change my device as soon as they arrive, given they are sold out in my specific carrier store.
This could happen to any random device and there´s no software solution or walkthrough. If you have these symptoms do not hesitate to get an Exchange phone from your carrier. Hoping of course that will be the good one, just like me...
Flashing generics ftf´s, rooting, unlocking bootloader (officially done) etc, has nothing to do with this, it´s not somehow related and is not guilty of this bad. (Well, that said by the sony guy) Good luck with your device.
Happy holidays!

I have the same problem like you ....
Sometime my phone will not wake up and i nedd use vol. up + power ....
So your advice is to change phone ?
Hi everybody well... Again writing from my new T and guess what... The same issue again so dont really know what could be happening. From now I'll be looking from Sony Support advise since this is inaceptable indeed.
Have done nothing to my phone at all, no root, no mods, no sd, no nothing. Even running it with all the brand bloatware.
Let's see what happen to our device in the future.
Merry Christmas.

Hi, i dont have any adw launcher,any SD card.Nothing just plain system.. And guess what.1.time when this happend to me was after when i open the box with new phone unbox it ,charge battery, after that power on my device play with phone maybe 10 minutes (it was without sim card,without,sd card, just on wifi).After that i leaved new phone on the table maybe for 20 minutes and than i couldnt wake up my phone -just with volumeUP+power.
So I dont think so its problem with some app or launcher....i think i need to change present sony to another sony xperia t and i will see. I think its a hardware problem...
Then you really really have some bad luck mate. Hope your next XT goes better. I personally never had an sod. So musty be either an app or hardware. Maybe some carrier app? Don't know which carrier you are on, and which carrier any other user with sod has.

Any news ? Today i will reclaim my phone so we will see whats going on..
I've had the same issue. Took my first t back and got it swapped. This one's not doing bad so far. Only issue I have is the fact that I've fitted a 16g sd card and no matter what I do files that I have moved onto the ext card always end up back on the original card. Don't know how to resolve this.

Hello again guys, updating this thread well... I´ve got to tell you, I´ve tried everything to live with this *** issue, with no need for this of course, and non of my "tricks" have given relief for it.
Installed wakelock apks to prevent this SOD or Sudden death, wathever... Obligate my T to stay awake by using EVERY SINGLE MINUTE doing whatever it took and usually didn´t know what to keep it that way.
Not to say I tried flashing ftf´s from here to there expecting that could be the expected medicine. Nothing worked.
So today I finally got an exchange phone from warranty at my carrier and got a SGS3, can´t be happier.
Despite of knowing some sIII have begun behaving bad as the T, my III doesn´t seem to match the faulty criteria and I´m enjoying a very reliable phone.
A blazzing fast, Bond deserved phone.
I noticed that this bug happens very rarely when I disable the wi-fi and normally it happens when I receive the notification of an upgrade from the Play Store.
While the wi-fi is enabled the SOD happens almost every 30 minutes.
Does it happens to somebody else?

I might as well introduce myself and let the games begin.

I am no ordinary greenhorn, in fact, to be completely honest this is the first smart phone I have ever owned. Before this love affair began with my thrill 3D, I was partial to the cheap flip phones. So without further ado; I rooted her bricked her first by checkin out system tuner and seeing what would happen if I turned up a thing or two. When i woke in the morning jungle font stopped unexpectedly, so i pressed force close, it came back faster than i could pull my thumb away, after about a dozen or so times w/ the same result, I did what any sensible idiot comparable to uneducated stone would do and pulled the battery. She rebooted with no font. Factory reset, root again recover my beloved apps and data and then (again what any sensible idiot would and opened system tuner. in my defense, however i was only moving system files to sd not uninstalling them. 'ol thrill did not like that one bit and with a sudden burst of rage-full, maniacal, protest force closed files of all types, one super quickly right after another. it was a domino effect sort of thing. anyway, i tried the lg flash package steps several times to no avail, now it seems overwhelming. tomorrow i am dive right in to xda university deal i heard about, but in the mean time any help in getting my deeply missed thrill back on line would be appreciated so much more than most of you could imagine. i have a lot on plate and this couldn't have been a worse time for me kill my life line. Thank you guys in advance. sorry 'bout the long post, verbose is my middle name.

Actually my friend, I'm in my late thirties with two little boys. I'm a single dad, with zero presence from their biological co-founder. I'm a carpenter by trade, hence the cheap flip phones in the past. In addition to work and kids, I did start going to college full time (I'm in my second semester) for child psychology in order to better understand the difference between my youngest (4) who is developing typically and my oldest (7) who is autistic. In the middle of wrestling an already obese schedule, I am smack dab in the middle of fighting with the school district because they are (in my opinion based on my careful observation) stuck in the process of teaching autistic kids how to be more autistic rather than how to be "human" like most of the rest of us. To recover my boy from his public-school-bootloop seems to be as equally perplexing as my phone. A seventh grade education over twenty years ago only goes so far. So there it is, while I love to write, I am far from a frat boy, where they get laid in bed, I only lay in bed Embarrassing really, but my sacrifice is/will be the root of all of my boys smiles. I don't have the money nor the desire to buy a new phone. I love my thrill! It is imperative that I get it back online ASAP. Unfortunately often times a picture in crayon is what I need when it comes to some things. If you guys can't or won't help me get it going I figure it out, I always do. But no matter what, I will have my thrill. P.S. Mad props for all you guy that have put the effort into XDA University and the slang terms thread, I admire people who give up their time and energy just for the sake of sharing what they know, for us "noobs" that kind of generosity is the only way learn about such alien concepts and processes as these. Like I said "I'm no ordinary greenhorn" Thanks again in advance, time is ticking and I'm not using a pay phone and refuse to get a flipper! Gotta run, good day all!!!!!!

I followed the instructions from an optimums thread by dark lestat, i tried four times. but absolutely nothing happened. Norton was a problem, fixed that. then found out what a com port was, let me ask anyway, that refers to the USB port right, and not communication port like maybe through a my firewall? i haven't tried a different USB cable yet cause i just found out about it tonite while i was looking for some answers. do i do anything with the kidz file? i would rather have a different ROM, what is the recovery manager for? and one more clarification, how do I know that it is working at the last step when i put the bat back in and connect the USB to my lap top? will it vibrate or screen flash or something. I am going to try again tomorrow. i learned a lot i didn't know today from xda u, so I don't feel so lost. I can build a house ,but droid recovery is a whole ball game! Thanks again Bigtech.
another Q
Does it matter which kdz file I choose, if so Which one should I use? I ended up with the official gingerbread cause it was the only link that worked.
use either v30b kdz of v28b kdz. they're both ics, which is, i believe much better than gingerbread
Any word if they got rid of the ghost call problem? And I am very surprised that ATT still cares about this phone considering they discontinued it like 5 months after they started to sell it

Stop FRATing and people will help more. Post precisely and specifically what your problem is. No one wants to read your wall of text.

question
why b2cappsetup pop up tellin me to connect with the internet when i already am? tryin to flash v30b recovering from a bootloop. thanks!
sorry bro
Hate the game Dog, not the playa:laugh: the xda new-membe- intro video made me do it! It said that you old pros are "lawn geezers" and we are the kids runnin across your front yard. I was simply getting into charector:} nah just kiddin, i did over do it a bit though huh won't happen again either cause you all are much more helpful when your not pissed.
OK I have not read your other posts. Install Smartflash instead and install the 2 drivers. Then flash XBSA's pretty rooted ROM with Smartflash.
Download XBSA's V7.2 ROM and flash it from recovery.

I'm gonna try the second one again first though, something isn't right with the b2cappsetup, maybe its my anti virus or firewall

[Q] CM9 no phone

My tab upgraded itself to honecomb, that was fine. Recently I decided I would flash to MIUI 4 and that was ok, except if I switched it off and plugged in a charger half a picture would appear and whilst it would charge and boot fine, if I unplugged it without switching it on, it would go very very flat indeed overnight.
So I tried to flash it to CM10.1 but booting just took me back to the recovery screen, so then I tried MIUI 5 but that gave a zip error- so then I flashed CM9 (can you tell that I dont really know what Im doing) by dropping the zip on the external sd and using the recovery screen to load it - and it works - in fact the cyanogen9 boot screen is so much more fun than a flickering 'samsung' - but - now the phone side isnt working. Oddly the phone can tell what networks are available but it can't connect to orange with the sim in.
(Also my tune in pro app can only load a handful of streams when all of them work on my note...)
So now what - can I flash a new modem to fix what I might have done to this one - or would the oft chanted mantra 'Restock to 2.3.3. Then flash overcome before flashing cm9' sort me out..... or....
The fact that your tab got upgraded to honeycomb means you probably don't have a P1000 tab.
This forum is for P1000 or all variants of the original Samsung Galaxy 7" tab

Most def a GSM p1000 in fact. Maybbeeeee I meant gingerbread. Now I think about it upgrading to cm9 was probably hopeful too.
Hmm interesting. I am down as new on the forum despite joining 7 years ago....
If your IMEI isn't 35xxx, you have a bad or corrupted efs. Bad IMEI won't be able to join a network.
There is likely a backup folder in your internal or external SD card, and you need to pick the oldest one and replace your /efs with it, using root explorer.
If you don't have a backup, then you need the restocking dance....
I joined this forum since it was really talking about xda... Wonder how many current user remember what an xda is.

" Wonder how many current user remember what an xda is."
I had an XDA MINI S - but the XDAs were just before that when I was an IPAQ (but still missing my Psion s3a)
I remember when people laughed at you when you had an electronic pda.... but I digress.
I have taken the P1000 into overcome v4. No idea what I was doing so the explanations must have been utterly brilliant.
Modem is working again.
Shall I leave it alone now - or if I drop CM9 back on it will the phone part still work? Thing is...my internet radio app probably wont work as well as Im used to so perhaps I will stay as I am for a bit....
maybe...
Side story- call it a sig.... My XDA MINI S was actually the O2 XDA MINI S - and one day I lost it. In Chester. I got back to work not realising I had lost it., then people kept coming up to me 'did you get your phone back' ... blimy where my phone...I said....
Turns out, a Polish woman found it in the street in Chester. Because it had O2 on the front she took it to an O2 shop. The man in the shop got it going and called ALL my contacts asking them who I was... finally found my secretary who gave me their number so I went and picked it up. Everone I knew knew what I had done..before me! Now THATS technology for you.
#truestory
Do that with an eye-fone!
Haha. Yes I too owned a HP IPAQ before.
Quite a funny story you got there with the mini. Thanks for sharing.
About upgrade, now you had a working one, copy the /efs folder to a safe location.
And I recommend you try out AOKP JB by stimpz0r.
I think it is rock solid!

Not a Exactly Newbie ...

Not really a Newbie .. Just haven't posted in a few years .. Used to be known as "sheeesh" but can't remember my old password and after trying to get back on, I gave up and started over ... Since last posted I joined every other person on the planet and bought a few iphones and a few Samsung Notes. My eyes are getting very old as well as my mind and only a moron can't figure out how to use an iPhone. I am using that now and just gave my grandson my Note 9 ... The only old gadget I still own is the HTC Shift x9500 .. It's about ready for the trash I think but hate to give up on it .. Can't start up, won't charge it seems .. Don't know if it is the charger or the battery because it won't start even if plugged it. Last time I used it I updated it to Windows 7 or Vista I think. Maybe even Windows 8... Can't remember but it was working fine when I turned it off ... Any comments?
Welcome back to XDA
For your sake I hope it's W7 cause Vista SUCKS.
You'll need to replace the cmos battery as it's surely dead as Zed by now.
On most laptops they will power up but you need to configure the bios to go any further as it's settings were lost with the battery.
The power supply maybe dead.
About the only things that really fail with sitting are the electrolytic caps and sometimes the hdd will seize up.
Thanks .. I will give everything you said a check/try ... I have been away and not getting adventurous with my gadgets because ... LONG STORY SHORT ... I got cancer ... fell in the hospital .. hit my head and then everything went downhill .. . On the bright side, been cancer free for 3 years ... Just my brain isn't working like it used to since the bump on the noggin' ... I was thinking maybe I should try and reclaim my old username but it isn't important I guess.

Sorry to hear about that. It can always get worse as my Nam Vet friends say.
Be especially on your guard now against falls. Try to start pumping some steel, it's increases your physical and mental prowess, rehabilitates.
Ask a mod to try to fix the user name issue.
Enjoy your chill time here

I think the problem was the power supply. I used another and it booted right up .. almost RIGHT UP ..

Yay, indeed... don't let it update!
So the bios data is still valid?
You might want to copy that down if so as that cmos battery has to be low.
