[Q] [V] Stamina not working anymore - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hello,
my stamina mode (4.3 Stock ROM, see signature) doesn't work properly anymore. Usually, network connections were disabled shortly after locking screen and by unlocking screen, network connections were established again (connection symbol needed 1-2 seconds to appear).
Now my connections do not get disabled anymore. I receive Whatsapp messages even after an hour of not using my device e.g. and the connection symbol is already there like the device was never disconnected.
I do not have any exceptions in my stamina settings. I had Whatsapp in there for testing purposes, but removed it. I've got the feeling that this problem exists since I've once tested the Whatsapp exception...

The first and easiest way is a factory reset of your phone before doing anything else.
Have you ever made a factory reset after switching from android 4.1.2 to 4.3?

I came from CM to 4.3; first the leak versionn, then .199 and finally .210 - each with full wipe. That should not be the problem; stamina mode worked properly on every stock 4.3. It is broken for only one or two weeks now.
Of course i could do a factory reset or a CWM backup from a clean 4.3 installation, but I hoped to solve it another way, e.g. reinstalling a certain APK or editing sth. in the system

You can flash .210 again via recovery WITHOUT any wipe.
The zip file will format and install a clean system (with all original apk, framework and so on)

I prefer original FTF files when using stock ROMs, so that I can customize it according to my taste.
To topic:
I've restored a CWM-backup of the fresh installed stock ROM, but same problem... strange. We'll, the best way should be reinstalling the whole ROM *grrrrrr*
Thanks anyway!

Good choice.
By the way also with Flashtool you can flash only the system this way: uncheck all inside wipe box and check all inside exclude box, but system that has to be unchecked.

[Help req] Galaxy S unresponsive !

Hello Guys.
I actually have a problem. I flashed my phone with the firmware which has the bootloader on it. Gingerbread 2.3.3. JVJPG
It worked perfectly for about 2-3 weeks. Then i did something foolish. i forcestopped the 'maps' process . Thought it might free up some RAM.
now after that i continuously been getting the 'maps has been unresponsive and would forced stop' message on the phone. So to get rid of it I flashed the phone against thinking it would reinstall . But no. I kept getting that message after flashing aswell together with OTHER APPS also started giving the message.
i have cleared the cachet and factory reset the phone BUT STILL those APPS remain on the phone. they dont work just continuously gives the force stopped messages. The camera works but doesn't save the pics. Any app i want to d/L . it doesnt install says something about ' package is unresponsive'.
Thankfully the downland mode works. I flashed it yet again with FROYO but now it seem like the whole system has crashed !!
The wierd thing is that APPS dont seem to get uninstalled and no date is lost even after factory reset.
Can anyone help me with this ?
Also even if i uninstall the apps. after restarting the phone. they just remain on the phone !
but don't work
Got the firmware for this thead:

I get the following unresponsive and need to close down messages :

etc.
Also process system is unresponsive.
Flash back to stock firmware, install a kernel with CWM recovery, download your chosen rom, before installing, reboot into recovery, before installing, got to mounts and storage, format system, data, cache and datadata, then wipe dalvik, then install custom rom all should be fine after that let me know bud

Thanks a lot Djice for the reply. I had an inkling that i had to meddle with the kernel now :s
The problem is I have never meddling with the kernel before. Can you help me find a suitable tutorial for all those steps?
I'll search for em as well.
Guys, Any detailed help?
havn't been able to solve the problem still.

[help] Dialer/phone force closes

Rooted (stock) VZW moto x
A couple days ago my phone app started force closing immediately upon opening it every time. It doesn't work at all now. I am rooted, but I rooted weeks ago and this just started yesterday or the day before. I haven't messed with anything. The only thing that I have done is download apps from the play store... None of which 'should' mess with the phone app.
I have since downloaded an alternative dialer app which works, but I'd rather use stock. I tried rebooting, tried clearing the app's cache and data (in system settings - apps) and no luck.
Any help would be great. Either finding/fixing the issue or a way to reinstall the stock phone app? I am rooted and I believe write protection is off, which I had to do to install busybox. Thanks!

What version are you on. 4.2.2 or 4.4
There is a couple things i would try i have had to do it with other phone specially my old S3
1. restore from a backup when i the dialer was not FC
2. try reinstalling the dialer from the APK located here device/system/prvi-app/dialer.apk
3. pull the dialer.apk out of the correct stock ROM or recover img and replace the one located in the above folder and install it.
but to be honest option one is normally the best way to go and the fastest.
Thanks. I'm on 4.4. I'm going to try option 2 when i get home. I'm not exactly sure how to restore a backup on this phone yet being that i dont really have a recovery.
Edit: option 2 installed ok, but still force closes
let me get you the .apk from the restore img give me about a hour to download it and get you a link
also do you know how to use titanium backup if so i would install it and back up all user apps and data because you might have to do a factory reset. but if you backup with TB you and restore everything right back to ware you was

[Q] Insertcoin Issue

Been a long time Venom user but recently decided to try Insertcoin due to unimpressive battery and overall phone slowdowns (none necessarily related to Venom).
I have noticed in the Kontrol, there are tweaks such as DPI, remove NFC logo, etc. They all request root access as they should, and when the restart is forced the settings absolutely refuse to save. I've tried a fresh install with both superuser and superSU, neither seems to make a difference.
What am I missing here?

Edit - side issue, the front camera has not worked for months either, with any rom. It doesn't even show up as selectable in apps. Physical damage?
Thanks

Ensure you have the latest custom recovery and SuperSU; then perform a full wipe then re-install the rom. If that didn't work you might have to re-flash your stock firmware then flash your custom recovery and SuperSU.

Everything is indeed up to date.
Why do you think going back to stock would help with the issue(s) I described?

Oftentimes that is the only way to clear out residual data. The other thing you could try is to go back to other rom and see if it is corrected.

Maybe I should have left out the part of the front facing camera not working.. or created that as a separate topic.
The one that I'm really having issue with is the Insertcoin Konfig settings not actually applying themselves.. tweaks on other ROMs worked without a problem..

[Q] Question about backup and restore - settings, homescreen etc

Hello friends,
Until now every time when i install a new rom i restore my app backups from Titanium.
But i still lose a lot of time for setting the phone as it was before (home screen design (shortcuts, widgets, folders), settings, sound, wallpapers).
Can you please tell me what app/process should i backup in Titanium in order to safely restore all of the above?
I would like to mention that the firmware of the new installed rom will be the same as the old one (the one on which the backups were made)...e.g : .283 or kk 4.4.4.
I think if i will make a backup on 4.3 or 4.4.2 an try to restore on 4.4.4 i could have some rom issues.(here i am not talking about the user app, but about all of the above).
Thank you in advanced.

Hi
You can't backup the settings layout because it's different from each android version and ROM. So this mat cause force close in the app.
But if you are moving from the same android version to the same android version (eg. Stock 4.4.2 to stock based 4.4.2 ROM)
So it's possible and will work without any problem. But the system app backups from older android versions like 4.3 or 4.2.2 will not work because there is a difference between the APK files and that can cause a problem.
My opinion is taking the data backup from TWRP recovery not titanium backup. Here is how:
Boot to TWRP (not CWM!)
Go to backup
Uncheck everything except DATA (DATA ONLY SHOULD BE CHECKED)
And start the backup.
And when you are on other ROM just restore it everything will be restored. Settings homescreen wallpapers ringtones apps contacts messages call log data
And everything else
And AGAIN! Do not restore those backups on different android version OR if the backup were taken from stock ROM do not restore it on PA AOSP AOKP CM ROMs
You will get bootloop
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!
Thank you very much, didn't know about that! And yes of course, i will not make a restore from a different rom version to another. I was also referring to 4.4.4 -> 4.4.4 or 4.3 -> 4.3 , and so on.
@androidfreak70, tried the method, it works, all restored but it makes the integrated email not work -> stop working.
Any idea why?

Hi again
Nice to hear it's worked fine
Which ROM you are running??
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!
I was using Rajeed's PureXZ V2 (.283, KK4.4.4), i did a data backup. After that i have installed Rajeed's BlackXZ v1 (.283, KK4.4.4) and did a restore of data.
Maybe it was because i didn't wait for the rom to boot and did a data restore after directly flashing the ROM.
so
0. boot to twrp recovery
1. factory reset
2. clean cache/dalvik cache
3. flash rom according to directions provided by dev
4. restore data from other rom (same base and KK version)
5. reboot
All booted, everything ok but integrated email did not work.

Sorry for late answer. Quote my post next time to get me notice
Take Exchange2.apk and SemcMail.apk from PureXZ V2 zip (you can find them in system/priv-app) and replace them with the current APKs in the same place (system/priv-app) and set the permissions to RW-R-R then reboot your device and check it
The backup is not related BTW

You can also backup "Xperia Home" aka com.sonyericsson.home using Titanium Backup in order to restore home screen design. Restoring its data restores the home screen and app drawer design. It works between different stock based ROMs and Xperia Home versions (I have done it multiple times).
I did try a home backup, it did work, every thing restored. But after every reboot it gave me a fc message. After the message everything worked normally. I don't know why the fc message

Stock Camera and 3rd party Apps Video Recording Problem

Hi everyone,
within the past 3 weeks I have rooted (with magisk), installed xposed, gcam 8g2v6, uninstalled xposed and everything seemed ok until then.
And afterwards I replaced the mediaprofiles.xml file and I began to see tons of errors related to whatsapp, camera apps, etc. and therefore had to make a factory reset through settings menu of the phone.
Now rooted again but even before the root or now neither the stock camera app or the other camera apps are shooting video or letting me choose resolution for video. I can only record on open camera app through activating camera2.api.
Really having a hard time on how to shoot video properly again. Whatever camera app I install to shoot video starts in a very low resolution mode like 640*480. Even the video settings in the stock camera app are not there. At what point did I mess things up and how can I restore to how things were? No problems with the photo mode/quality by the way. I am on 9.2.1.0 global.
Appreciate any help. thanks.
Having tried pretty much whatever I have found on the web and still no success. Pls help.
Reflash ROM, should work

Thanks for the idea. However I am on global stable rom. And I already wiped and reset through phone menu once. No change.
I don't think that factory reset can revert the changes that root apps can do. Not the same thing...

Resetting the rom only resets the settings and states of the applications to their default values and thus behavior . But seems like that you changed something more - most probably some files are changed, which could not be reverted to the original state by factory reset. You have to flash the rom again. And will be better if you format the system partition before that.

Thanks. Do you mean I should reinstall the Global Factory rom externally through (TWRP or else software)???
If i do so, do I have to format the system partition and do I lose my IMEI?
Yes, reinstall with twrp. You will not lose your IMEI. It's not on system partition. If you have some doubt, flash official ROM with MiFlash. But my advise is use twrp. Deleting system partition is not mandatory, but make factory reset at least after flash.
