Hello there!
i'm observing a irritating display/color problem on my Xperia Z1(Screenshot, yes these pink things aren't supposed to be there and they don't change their position in the picture(!) if i flip the device. According to the background they also appear in green, blue and red; they change only positions if i change the overall portion of green color in the settings).
How the problem occured: A few days ago my girlfirend droped my phone and the glas broke. (touchscreen was also defect nothing more; still controlable via mouse) Instead of repairing it myself i gave it to an repairer (insured event). I got it back with a working touch but i noticed this colorproblem very soon. The repairer said it could possibly be the mod. So i flashed back to a 5.1 stock rom and the color problem was gone. But when i flashed the phone back to Cyanogenmod i've got the same problem again. Is this because of the "nightly" status or did something go wrong in the garage? The Problem is only visible on the screen. If i broadcast the screen to a pc or send a picture with "broken" colors e.g. via whatsapp it is free from these scratches.
I would have no Problem with flashing back to c11 but is it save? (stagefright) And is there meanwhile a fix for the slowly/sometimes not starting camera?
Any help would be appreciated!
best regards
Tilas
PS: Sorry I can't find the "manage attachments"-button and it seems like resizing in bbcode is not supported..

yep,thats a busted screen alright and not a software problem.I guess you need to get it replaced...again.
If it is a broken screen then why is it working fine with a stock rom? The repairer already replaced it. But it didn't help. Maybe low quality screens? I already tried some changes in dpi with no luck. The original worked fine even with cm12.1 until i gave it away.
Your replacement screen may be a cheap knock off from china or somewhere .so it might work fine with the stock firmware but have problems with CM's screen drivers! .
PS: Did you do a full wipe and flash with a new rom or did you restore one of your old backups? Try to do a full wipe and flash the latest CM nightly.
From cm12.1 i used flashtool and xperifirm to find the newest stock rom for my device and flashed it. I made use of the wipe-options in flashtool. After that, with a working stock rom, i downloaded the newest cyanogenmod rom for my device to my pc and flashed the boot.img via cmd and fastboot and installed the new cm12.1 in the recovery (after wiping data and cache) via adb sideload. That broad up the colorproblem again.
Today i did the same but flashed the last cm11 snapshot. -> works fine.
Maybe i should try a cm12.1 nightly from a date before i took it to the repairer. I'm pretty sure that it worked until i gave it away and he had no option to apply a update himself due to the active lock. But i remember that some settings were changed the day i got it back e.g. the root-access was deactivated wich caused problems for some apps.

Okey so basically my problem is that when I boot my SGS the notification bar force closes right after I've entered my pin-code. This problem appeared after updating the firmware to 2.3.3 through Kies. I've also rooted the phone (CF root).
Thanks for the help in advance
How did you upgrade and what did you do? By any accident you didnt apply a theme right? Just stock with wipe and cf root. Nothing more. No old settings or backups?

You must do a factory reset from the Settings menu and your problem will be solved. Make sure you back up your personal data
Cheers !!
Thanks for help! I did factory reset with CWM and now working like charm.
I got the JVB installer from samfirmware.com and followed the step to install from that website. After install, it just fine. Then, I applied the CF-root to restore titanium backup. Just restore user apps with data. Also successed.
But after reboot, I got this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, i don't have statusbar after closed the alert message.
Then reflash back to stock JVB. Look like fine. Reboot and apply CF-root. Again... I got the status bar force close. Reflash back to stock JVB and then after reboot, I got it again.
Now..back to Froyo XWJS8 and criskelo. What your advice so that I can get the JVB gingerbread running fine and I can restore my titanium backup?
Well, only one advice actually. Dont restore apps from froyo on GB. Or at least not all of them?
Maybe do 10, reboot. Fine, next batch etc. You might find the culprit that way I guess.
Hi !
I flashed my phone to CM7 today, after that i wanted to flash MIUI..
That didnt work out, so i flashed back to standard to repeat the rooting and flashing to a slim rom..
Now i have an LG Logo flashing through my background, has anyone experienced this ?
If so, pleeeeease tell me there is a fix for it
Dont get it. Screenshot, picture or video?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
No no, when i boot my phone you see the LG Logo..
Now when im in Android (stock launcher etc) i see the same logo flashing on my background..
Its hardly visible but i see it...
Weird stuff.... changed background yet!
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Sorry to dissapoint you, but thats not it
I think its gone now though, after a few (read as 20/30) reboots....
Yeah I had this ghosting first few boots of new baseband, i posted under:

I'm guessing no1 else saw this, but my experience was it went away by itself after a few reboots. Testing i'm fairly sure it was from pulling the cable while the lg+face image was still on screen after the baseband was flashed successfully.
Nothing to really worry about imho.

You see the same thing when accessing the phone through a VNC server using the framebuffer. You don't see the desktop here though, just the LG logo.
It's because Tegra does not use the framebuffer to display things. But somehow in your case the framebuffer DID get displayed in the background... somehow?!
it is gone after about 10 reboots
This happend to me a couple of times. When im going back to stock rom thats when its happening but it dissapears after a couple of restarts
Just wanted to report that I just got the same artifact after updating to baseband 0405. Still panicking... Hope it goes away...
EDIT: Seems to be resolved after 2 reboots and/or brightness change.
I'm having the same problem after upgrade to the leaked V20o. I tried to restore to V20m and the issue still continued. I tried to restore to V10f and I still have problem.
I rebooted the phone more than 20 times and nothing.
Does anyone know how to solve this??
Hey guys.
So I recently (few days ago) bought my Xperia SP (5302) EU-Global Version. I've updated it to the last 12.1.A.1.207 stock build and I wanted to root I but I noticed something strange that happen 2-3 times and I wanna ask if it's something common for the model or should I return it for a repair before I root the phone.
So basically what's happening is, when the phone is under load in very rear cases (3 times in 7-8 days) the screen will start dimming but not like when you power it off. It will start getting darker, the app icons will get almost black and after it finishes loading the task everything returns it's original color again. It basically shifts it's color tone to some really dark tone, like when you're adding some effect to a picture. Sorry, English is not my native language so I can't explain it better but if you have experienced it you, would'll know what I'm talking about.
So basically this is the question: Is this something common for the Xperia SP and I can safely root the phone, or it's just my phone and I must send it for a repair/replacement.
Thanks in advance!
You could try to reset it with Flashtool. It seems like a hardware issue but the reflash it to rule software out..

Another question.
When I bought my phone it boot up in Chinese or Japanese (not really sure) and then it had alot of apps with Japanese or Chinese characters that I disabled and I'm not really sure if that's the Global version of the software. So if I reinstall the stock ROM and I have to return it for a repair they may notice that the ROM is not the same as the one that was shipped with. Do you guys have the same apps on the Global version?
Here are the apps

Then you have to use Flashtool (see my thread in General) to flash a ftf file that does not come with that bloatware

it's not a hardware issue...it's a common bug on .205, .207

Sorry I posted in another section, I will not change it some moderator
Playing I decided to make a setback from the B584 to the B052 (damn idea), well I put the B300 transition file in the dload folder and finish in the ALE-L21C432B300 then update it also copying the dload with the complete B188 by pressing vol + y Vol - at the same time, it was restarted and started to update wait a good while until it restarted again, as is normal to re-update by OTA.
I got the problem my phone left the screen between gray and black, it makes the sound on power up, the keys work and the graph of the mobile phone I think it does not recognize the drivers and it is not seen.
Bootloader works and the touch but not seen (attached photo) connects well with the PC and I can get into fastboot in fact I have recorded the full B052 by fastboot and boot the phone does not see anything but hear the boot sound And the tactile works.
Also if I connect it to the PC I recognize the internal and the Micro SD only with the B052.
Only works (the boot sound is heard but nothing is seen with the B059) and now that is the b596 v2 of sokkoban and wanted to try it who would send me to make the recoil, well that everything is for science and forum: )
Any idea to solve this problem I know that the screen is not new since two months ago rather it will be the partition or something internal Software ?.
Could you repair it from the ODB console, FASTBOOT, ETC.?

I had the exactly same issue about a month ago. Solved it by sending the phone to Huawei for repairs.
I don't think it's a driver issue, as they replaced the whole display (among with reinstalling the firmware).

Then you think it's from the screen, if it has not had any hits, it's new for two months, this happened to you when you installed the firmware. thank you very much.
Many thanks to all I have solved it for whatever it is the display but by chance it broke me at the same time I made the recoil, well I will have to spend again € 30 per screen change.
THEME CLOSED thank you.
I've just flashed my XZ1C to the newest Customized UK firmware with US OEM.sin (for fingerprint sensor) without flashing /data.
Everything is OK until I go to the settings APP...

I don't know it's caused by the newest firmware it self or it's because I didn't flash /data ?.
Any ideas about it?

Factory reset might fix it, but most likely a complete reflash, wiping data. This has been reported before on the thread, happens when you try to mix-and-match firmwares.
The following won't be news to people more experienced than I, but I managed at one point to get my phone into what I presume is a bootloop. Waiting for the right moment, and then connecting it in flash mode to the computer allowed me to use Xperia Companion to reinstall the current firmware correctly. I'm glad that Sony provides this functionality in its PC/Mac software. Perhaps in first backing up just what you need through Xperia Companion, then doing a software repair (reset/flash), and then restoring your (minimal) data would do the trick. I know how annoying these little anomalies can be, I had the weird experience of having GBoard reinstall itself on every reboot until I "fixed" the installation as I outlined above. Good luck!

Thanks for reply!
I'll try to do factory reset the phone. But I'm still wondering why this will cause the Settings APP to work like this ?
I had the problem when i first flashed the german 8.49. I had the same weird menus and txt because i had the origianl us oem. i reflashed w/ complete custom de (I don't have tmobile) and everything is back to normal. Also, I got the ota update to the current version. I assumed the problems were because the us oem was outdated, but maybe not.
