Hi guys.
Well I'm using the Xperia TX JB updated and rooted. The problem is the fone is slowing down. It isn't as responsive as it was on ICS. I repaired it using PCC but the problem persisted. I restored to Factory Settings but nothing changed. I installed Antutu CPU Master Pro to set different frequencies for different profiles but still facing the problem.
Can anyone tell what's wrong and what should be done???
Guys,
I just updated my Xperia T to [ROM][T][4.3] Ultimate PureXT v1 White Edition | Xperia Z2 Style! and now I have a problem:
Phone doesn't charge when turned on, only when turned off!
Anyone any idea what causes this problem and what I could do to charge the phone again when turned on?
I used Titanium Backup to backup all my apps (I was on {ROM}[STOCK][T][JB 4.3][9.2.A.1.199] Official Firmware - Rooted&Deodexed 14/3), could this have anything to do with it?
Thanks in advance!
Vincent
Solved
Seems like the cable I was using wasn't working, which is pretty strange since I lend a cable from a collegue, who said it worked on his phone!
At home, charging was fine, luckily!
Hi!
I've got my Xperia SP for about 6-7 months. Since the release of 4.3 i started to experience massive ammount of problems.
I've rooted my phone, and flashed it with the first possible ver. of offcicial Android 4.3 (Normally i should wait for my Carier to release the 4.3 with branding).
I was quite happy to have a new system etc.etc., but i decided to install Existenz ROM.....
After that, I realised few things:
My rear camera became extremely blurry and "Milky"
My phone started to overheat during simple things
I barely can open a message app, due to 1-2minutes lag in this app
The same thing happend to contacts (Only theese 2 apps)
Many of apps started to crash for no reason
My battery is a one big joke. It can discharge from 40-50% to 0 in less then hour of surfing the web
(The SMS and Contacts lag, doesn't affect only the offcial system apps, but every app, that allows you to reach contacts or SMS)
Also when i turned on my phone for the 1 time, i've got the information to wait for a power off button, then the big power off button appeared, i clicked it and the phone reset.
All theese things werent noticable at first (excluding the camera), but after some time, all of them are getting worst and worst.
I Flashed the original 4.3 system. Nothing.
I Repaired it with PC COMPANION.... Nothing.
Got no else idea... The service&guarantee i think is not possible for me :/
INFO FOR GEEKS:
MODEL - C5303

Kernel - 3.4.0-perf-ga1d7493 ([email protected]#1)
Comp. nr. - 12.1.A.1.201

Either repair with Sony Update Service or reflash stock ROM with my tutorial.
Those issues you mention are software issues and I did not encounter any one.
(But this is for Stock ROM)
About issues with ExistenZe... I've read some more issues.. Best is to wait for a fix from the developer...
You could also try a reinstall of that ROM
Hi!
When the stock 4.3 rom installed, my SP freezd and restarted like an old CGA monitor.
After I installed the eXistenZ Ultra 3.3.0, it stoped restarting, but started overheating.
It overheats only when its in standby mode.
I installed CPU temp monitor from Xposed and it shows, that the "normal" temp is 36-37C, but usually its about 47-51, and some times it heats up to 60-61C while in standby!
If I start charging it cools down to 39-42C.
I checked the memory booster to do not close the overheat system app but I never seen that app running.
Could someone help me?
P.s: sorry for the english
Phone OverHeat with ExistenZ 3.3.0
try another rom
Boot into safemode....
Turn off device normaly but keep the Turn Off option ticked on untill a popup appears and reboot into safemode.
After this check if the heat issue is still present
Hello friends, i am new here, i bought xperia sp 5303 last week from a friend, it's unlocked, updated firmware from update center to the last version and did factory rested from settings to delete all my friends data.....
before you start reading, this is long post, please proceed if you intend to help a helpless newbie like me that has a lot of questions and problems with his first first andoird phone
a week has passed and discovered a lot of problems with this phone i hope you friends here can help me with :
first before the questions, i suspect that al these problems are beceause of the orange modified firmware 4.3 207, it has countless orange apps interfering with sony stock apps, and make the phone useless without the original operator simcard(orange france) but the phone is imported, so we have a different orange here and it doesn't work with the integrated apps.
1) battery back up is very bad, about 2.5 to 3 hours when browsing on 3g and playing 15 minuts subway surrfer. after long night charging, if i plug off my phone in the morning from 100% it decreased to 99% in less than a minute, on 3g browing it decreases at the rate of 1 to 2% per minute at the first 10% then at the rate of 1% per minute approximately....
2) wifi range is awful compared to other phones, my symbian phones has much better range, and more stable wifi. Signal drops from full to one bar ( note that the router is about 4-5 meters away) if i go further than 10 meters, it i=will start disconnecting from almost full signal to one bar, then disconnects, and i have to onnect it manually from wifi settings. this is a nightmare as a java based samsung phone, keeps a stable 1 bar signal without disconnectings, and my xperia sp keeps jumping from almost full signal to empty, then disconnects in one minute, then it says wifi out of rance, then it comes full signal for few seconds, and same story again. my brothers GS4 and other friends phones( Xperia M2 , !xperia Z3 compact) has laptop comparable wifi range, when my phone doesn't detect anywifi, theirs detects our college wifi with 1-2 bars, very stable and fast.
i thought wifi problem existed only in 4.1.2 after google and other threads in the forum here
4)) camera is blurry when it takes the first pictures and it doesnt focus how it should focus, and takes a blurry photo, but it takes good photo in the second try, but this is frustrating, as i have to take two photos to get a nice one, if i move the camera to another focus range
3) i want to install international rom for my phone Xperia sp C5303 (this if possible, as pc companion won't do it even if i changed region ) , root it and how to make clean install to get rid of all the orange traces and wipe them from my phone.
i want to kknow the steps needed to make a clean install
i spend the whole last night reading tutorials and stuff on the forums, but every thing seemed like it's in another language, as this is my first android phone, all the vocabulary used here i couldn't understand, and it was too much to get all the info here in one night. i installed pc companion, flash tool, and downloaded a rom from here, it says 4.3 207 AU(it's the only one available, Au is australia apparently but i want something international, or europe firmware )
please guys help me, i am a total noob, and doing my best to understand this and catch up with you, but i need time, i gave up on symbian finally and now it's time for andoird
also what is the best stock official rom , i want good battery backup as advertised , on gsm arena they say it should last 6 hours when browsing the internet, my phone lasts less than half, tho it's not even 1 year old
also guys can you explain what are the cwm and kernel ,and recoveries and what are the benefits of these. i plan to use the phone on stock and play with it few months then pass to custom roms if possible
Welcome! I hope you will have a fun journey on exploring Android. Well I was like you, I am before a faith user on feature phones (unlike you that uses Symbian), as I can't afford smartphones as of my age. Last year, I got this Xperia SP, marking my first Android phone ever, and I was happy that I can now finally learn more about android. So here I am. lol Let me answer to your post paragraph by paragraph
The included apps inside your phone is called BLOATWARES. Bloatwares, are, bloats that are included with your ROM (firmware, OS, it is all just the same term). Bloatwares are usually carrier-installed, or at least the app that were controlled by the manufacturer for example Sony's Sony Select.
1) Battery has always been bad with android. This is however, cannot be blamed solely on the source codes. Most battery draining are caused by the users themselves. Some examples I can include is having numerous number of apps running in the background at once. This will obviously drain so much of your battery. A solution is to decrease any running background processes. Or possible might happen that you have a degraded battery due to long term use. It would be great if you could check your battery health by any tools (CPU Z, S Tools, Battery Log app - my personal fav, or built-in Sony service menu)
2) Wifi range problem is ancient on Xperia SP! That should not happen with the latest .207. Moreover your explanation seems to be worse than the ancient Xperia SP problem. You might be having a damaged ROM (hopefully) or a damaged hardware (I hope not).
3) Camera is okay with me? maybe it is just your thoughts. I suggest for you to cope with it. Besides, not every first shot is perfect
4) International ROM? Do you mean other country's ROM? This can be easily done by flashing an .ftf to your phone. I can guide you with this, but it would be great if you could tell me what country's ROM you are interested in. Hmm can I know something? Is your Xperia SP sim-locked?
I have a very strange problem with my phone. Since i updated to Android L 5.0.2 ( today ) on my Xperia Z3 Compact the smart call handling feature stopped working. I tried turning it off and on a few times, i tried rebooting the device a few times still no luck. Does anybody have any idea why and how to fix this issue ? I can't find anything related to this problem...
The phone is complete stock. The bootloader is locked. I've never unlocked it. I used to have PhilZ custom recovery on KitKat and now i obviously don't (same goes for root) .
p.s. I must say Sony has done some great work on Android L. I can't understand why people complain so much about it on the forum. I like it better than KitKat.
The Solution
I found a fix.
What i did was :
1. Turn off the feature ( from Settings )
2. Restart the phone
3. Turn on the feature.
4.Restart the phone again.
Oh and I found 1 con of Android L. The battery usage is a bid dull. On Kitkat it showed the number off days passed after charging. Now it shows a graph with dates, so i guess you have to count the days by yourself which isn't that easy as it sounds and personaly i think it's a stupid idea.
