I am facing several problems with my xperia x1 that a purchased a couple of months back, it has no warranty
1. Bluetooth
the bluetooth of the deice is not functioning and cannot be switched on, i have tried hard reset and several roms but it has not worked. when i switch on the cell and go to comm. manager it shows that bluetooth is working but when i search for devices it gives error after some time and switches off
2. Wifi
the problem is same as that of bluetooth, it is off and remains off...
3. Overheating
the device overheats during charging, takes a long time to charge.... the battery only lasts few hours... the device remain slightly heated even when it is switched off... i believe that the problem is linked to the above two problems, but once i have searched other threads, i believe others are also facing this problem but they do not seem to have problem with wifi or bluetooth
4. Cracks
the body is cracked at three places, near the camera, and the inside battery cover
used, t300, k500, k750, w880, w960 (still using) and now this one, but this seems to have a lot of problems for no reason... i have never had any problem with any of the sets that i have used before
please if anyone can help and atleast resolve the heating problem, cause the set is unusable if it has battery time of arount 6 to 7 hours.... if theres any hardware issue, can it be repaired? if not, im afraid i ve made a dead investment,
ooook NOW its X2
now i got x2, its brand new
but the video playback (youtube) isnt sharp nor smooth
what do i do/nstall to make things better
rest is great
i wish it had a more powerful processor
but HELP
A few days ago I got the Nokia Lumia Icon from Verizon Wireless. Overall, the phone is great as far as Windows phone go. This is my work phone and I use an Android phone as my person cell phone.
I have discovered that during calls periodically that the proximity sensor gets stuck in detected on the Lumia. Basically, whether sensor is covered or not, the phone's display goes dark during calls. This does not happen on every call but it does on most.
Does anyone know of a fix? Is there a patch / update coming soon?
Thank you,
gabato
I found a post on WPCentral that said to blow in to the 3.5 headphone jack and it would fix the issue for a while. Well I did it - heck no one has replied with a fix yet. So what did I have to loose. It worked. Now I want to see for how long.
Remember, the Icon is still extremely new. I have no clue if/when I'll end up getting an Icon. This place hasn't had much Verizon talk anyways....
I have looked high and low for a way to turn on my Nexus7 without using the power button while it is in sleep mode.
The reason is because i am putting my tablet in my 2002 Mustang GT to replace the stock radio. Once installed , the power, and volume buttons are no longer accessible. I have bought an AMP and use the remote volume knob to adjust the volume. Next my issue was getting the tablet to wake from sleep.
After some serious thinking, i have found a way.
This does not require flashing,hacking, taking the tablet apart to rewire ANYTHING.
What i am going to do is connect the charging cord to a secondary cigarette lighter, then plug in a USB adapter.
On the power side of the secondary cigarette lighter connect a toggle switch. (The secondary cigarette lighter will be hidden behind the tablet)
Mount the cool looking toggle switch somewhere in the car where it is easily accessible.
When you want to wake the table, and or charge it, turn on the toggle switch. (This SHOULD work with any tablet)
You may want to download an app to put the tablet to sleep for when getting out of your car.
If anyone else tries this please let me know how it worked out for you.
LOL
A great solution to a unique problem.
Let's see pics when you are done dash mounting your N7.
I still have to cut out a small piece of the dash to allow room for the charging cable. That will be done tomorrow, along with a better video. I just wanted to show my progress.

Here is another video i made during the day, and after it was all mounted.

Here's a thought, couldn't you just wave a little magnet over the bottom right part of the nexus screen? This should wake it up just as if you were opening a cover.

While that is a good idea, that doesn't help with charging.
I personally would want the battery in the tablet to cycle threw its charges instead of always staying connected. (in case i ever wanted to take the tablet out)
Thanks for the videos. Looks like quite the fun project. You did some great work there.

Thanks RoumoredNow. Its still a work in progress.
1. Better mounting of the tablet.
2. Add DC 4 port USB hub.
3. Add front and rear cameras.
4. Add 2 Standard USB connections built into the dash. (for passengers to charge there phone or play threw the audio system)
5. Another AMP
6. Replace the stock 8 speakers.
7. Add Sub-woofer.
8. Anything else i may think of, or suggestions i may like.
This is just an update to anyone wanting to mount there tablet in a mustang.
I have found that a simple piece of plywood does the job well. the area to mount a tablet in a mustang (without cutting up the dash) is about the same thickness as the tablet.
So using a piece of plywood, you can screw it to the BACKSIDE of the stereo mounting bracket. A couple of pieces of Velcro added to the plywood and tablet will keep it centered and in place while putting the radio bezel back on.
The Velcro also added cushion and a space filler to snug the tablet up to the radio bezel.
See images.
Just remember that baking a tablet in a car all of the time _will_ destroy the battery, and rather fast. Maybe that's fine. Just warning you.
As for turning the device off. If you have bluetooth in the car or something, you could use Tasker to watch for the BT device. When it goes away, start a timer, maybe 30 minutes or something, then shut down. That way quick runs into the store or it's not powered off/rebooting etc. There are many posts on this exact same subject in this exact sub-forum... Nexus 7 seems to be popular for cooking in vehicles for some reason.
But yes, the "unplug it from the power" solution is always the solution. Using a "pretty" switch is one way to do it. Some cars have lighter ports which are only powered when the car is powered, but I know mine are hot all of the time and a lot of cars these days are.
Use mKernel and a ROM that supports it and you can use the double tap to wake function, works great on my tablet, just tap the screen twice to wake it up.
U can use timur's kernel, And a otg-y cable, so when power unplug nexus go on stand by, And when plug power nexus start.
That rom is created Just for car installation.

**EDIT: The ebay item i bought below does not fit well in the nexus7.
While it does fit, and does charge, it is loose and sometimes gives a bad connection then disables charging. I suggest to NOT buy it for a nexus7.
I just wanted to update that i have got my OTG cable for my nexus7 (2012) and it works great with timur's rom. Here is a link to the 1 i bought from a USA seller.
I have used a 16gig USB stick with it for testing till i get a larger 1.

A couple of things i wanted to point out about having a toggle switch connected to wake my tablet.
PROS:
1st. This will allow you to charge the tablet when your not in your car.
2nd. Your car does NOT have to be running or in accessory mode to charge your tablet.
3rd. Depending on how you wire your amp, you can still listen to music on your tablet when the accessory is off.
4th. You can still use ftp, AirDroid, ES File Explorer, ect.. (As im typing this, i'm transferring over 600 songs to my tablet in the car.)
CONS:
1st. Tablet does not wake when switch is moved to accessory mode. (toggle switch must be pressed)
There may be more cons, but i haven't found any related to my setup yet.
I'll add to this as i run across PROS and CONS.
my sETP N HELP PLEASE

i have it set up with my acc line just connected to my ligheter cable and when ever i turn off ignition my tablet turns off and goes on airplane mode.. what i did was i bough a usb addapet that conects to positive n negative line. outputs 2 amps.. its located in the glove box ran the wire through the back and its pluges to the tablet.. so when i turn on the switch the table goes out of airplane mode, turns on my wifi (Wifi Teher) and Bluetoot (For bluetooth gps reciever) and lastly plays my music. . very pleased with the process.. now im hving one issue wich im trying to fix.. since i have booth bluetooth and wifi my tablet seems to drain more battery than it charges... im running c-rom 4.4.4 and i was looking into tfinding a fast charge. if anyone can help me setup fast charge please let me know and good luck. im pretty good with electrical in case you need any help..
****VERY IMPORTANT OPINION*****
I RECOMEND YOU SET A FUSE BEHIND EVERY WIRE TAP YOU MAKE, I HAD TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE WIRING HARNEST DUE TO A SHORTAGE.. SO A FUSE WOULD JUST BLOW AND NOT CAUSE SHORTAGE> :good::cyclops:
This post is old but I still have problems. Anyone had luck or did you just threw away your old and got a new model instead?

Good project! Have you tried timur's kernel yet? Maybe it will solve your problem.

The thing im using 4.4.4 rom and I believe timurs kernal is only for 2013 version of nexus 7. (Might be wrong) what I ended up doing is making a switch wich in case my battery dieson the tablet I can turn on the switch and charge the tablet over night even when the car is off..

I have 2 nexus7 (2012) models. My first one, i had timurs USB ROM for Nexus 7
I never could get it to fast charge even when fast charging was turned on. i was backing up my music and the rom went into a boot loop while it was backing up. So i tried to clear the cache and that didn't help. i then tried to revert back to factory (4.4.4) and i bricked it. It was hung at writing the bootloader. So i left it all nite while i went to bed and the battery died.
My 2nd tablet i left stock (i haven't even tried rooting it yet).
I bought The Dash Pro by Bragi (truly wireless earbuds) and I'm having an odd problem where the audio drops in and out when the phone is in the front pocket of my jeans, only when I'm outside though. If I take it out and hold it by my side it's fine most of the time, if I hold it to my chest it's fine. If I'm inside it's fine, even if it's 15 feet away.
Is there any way to monitor the bluetooth signal strength, interference, transmission rate...anything?

Is it just media audio or is it also phone calls? I posted something like this a while back and couldn't get an answer. For me, I've never noticed the problem on phone calls, only listening to media. Here is the post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/bluetooth-headset-breaks-outdoors-t3437693
Since then, the problem has worsened and I sometime get the breakup indoors also. I am currently running LineageOS and still having the problem. It is bad enough that I am thinking of getting a different phone even though I like everything else about my Nexus 6.
Only seemed to be with music. I was on NitrogenOS, and then went back to stock, locked and unrooted. Not much better. Taking off my bumper case helped a little bit. Bragi had me do firmware flashes two different ways and a few factory resets. Nothing solved the problem.
They also had me do a signal test by placing the phone down, in line of sight and walking away and counting my steps until it dropped out. About 29 steps inside and about 10 outside, which is a reduction by 1/3 but is still a good ten feet away...which makes the "dropping out in my pocket" issue even more odd. I've also noticed that the dropouts also seem to only occur when I'm walking. If I have it in my pocket and stand still it's usually good. WTF is going on with these?!
They also drop out frequently when connected to my Samsung Smart TV, inside obviously, and I'm only about 7 feet away from that (small living room). Yet they'll be fine 15 feet away from my cell phone. I've used them with my HP Windows laptop and they seem fine but that connection has received the least use.

I think it is the phone, not the bluetooth device. I've tried at least 3 different headsets and the results are the same. I use the same headsets with a Moto G and I don't get any dropout outdoors.
That could very well be the case, but doesn't explain why it doesn't work with my TV. I do have issues sometimes when connecting to my sunrise lamp/sleep tracker. It will say "connection lost" half the time during the initial connection. It was infuriating to setup. I'll probably be getting the Pixel 2 when it drops, and I just got an email from Bragi saying that firmware 3.0.3 is "coming in the nearest future". I'll give it a try with my roommates two phones (Note 5 and iPhone 7) and see if it still happens.
My issue is definitely related to the earbuds themselves. I just tried them with my mom's Galaxy S8 and went for a walk in the woods, as soon as I put the phone in my pocket it started dropping out, taking off her bumper case didn't help at all. I could completely kill the signal simply by putting my hand over the phone while it was in my pocket. I noticed that while using them with my TV, if I lean forward like 2 inches the connection is fine, but if I lean back like two inches it drops out...
Bragi is releasing an update next month, lets see if that resolves anything.
For over three months I happily have xperia 10 mark 4. There are one couple of things that do not give me peace. Maybe someone has similar observations and solutions to these problems. The biggest anxiety is the strange operation of the light sensor, the sensor responsible for blocking the phone during a call. In my opinion it works. as he wants. Often it only dims after putting it on the table, unlocks in the pocket, or after finishing the conversation it turns out that it is permanently blocked and you need to unlock it to hang up. Often, it does not lock up during the conversation and it turns out that any program is turned on. Sometimes everything works perfectly. This is the biggest problem so far. The unlocking itself works somehow so slowly and not always correctly. Has anyone seen the icon or the information 'fast charging'? I have an 18w and 30w charger and like nothing. How does 5g work for you - does it work at all? A few more things, but I will wait a bit for our department, if not, I will continue here.
The next thing that bothers me is that sometimes right at the beginning of the call I hear this click - quite strong - and the volume changes a bit. Have you noticed that too? Unfortunately, my phone has fallen a few times from the height of the pocket in my pants..
