Thanks

You ready ?
They saying Xperia's phones don't have a stock recovery !

[Q] Updating rom without camera button

Hi all,
My streak's camera button isn't working. I've dismantled it to have a look and doesn't look like it's fixable.
The title says it all. Can I update without using the camera button? I can get into cwm recovery, but am not able to "choose" any of the options. I've got streakdroid 1.9 and would like to try 2. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
You're aware the camera button is not very sensitive right? You (or at least I) have to really press it harder than you think.
Yes Aperture, I did press it hard enough, thanks for checking though.

[Q] Disable slide to answer/reject

Hi guys,
Sorry, I'm quite unfamiliar with SONY phone, but my dad own one of this badboy. He have a problem with missing the slide to answer/reject every time there is a call. Is it possible to change it to tap and hold to answer/reject?
Side note: my dad's phone come carrier locked and running GB 2.3.7, AFAIK there is no way to root the phone at this point right? So are there any solution that doesn't involve any root?
Thanks in advance
Use other luncher or make factory reset.

Changing launcher won't make any difference, as the slider is attached to the framework ( or something that can't be changed). I think a factory reset won't make do much difference.
@topic: Try installing HD Caller ID. It may not be the best solution, but it's the only I can think now.

Try to slide bellow the images. There is a bug that requires you to slide a bit bellow than what you would be expecting.

Thanks, that solves the problem! On a side note, is it possible to root XPS with locked bootloader now?

Not yet. I think DoomLord is working on a exploit and a some guys from here are using a Motorola Razr ICS exploit and working on it to work on our phones.

Yup there is, I read that in the battery thread for Xperia s in which doomlord had written that start the phone in safe mode and if the battery drain is still there, its due to a bug in android and if not it's due to an app!!

[Q] Base buttons stuck, can anyone help?

After turning the phone on, the 3 buttons at the bottom of the phone work for approximately 2-3 minutes with navigation, etc, then freeze, so only the touchpad screen works from this point, unless I turn the phone off. Can anyone help me?
Are you on a custom or stock ROM?
If it works again after each reboot it doesn't seem to be a hw issue at least.

Good question, I don't know whether customer or stock ROM, how do I find out?
Go to settings, about phone and tell us what it says is the Android version. If its stock then it will also show firmware version

XPERIA z Ultra Screen calibration problem

Hi guys...
I bought Xperia Z Ultra just couple of days back. I was excited about having it but the party was ruined when.I realised that it has Calibration problem. (Bought without Warranty)
See if some of you guys has the same problem and can suggest some fix:-
1- Dialing the wrong number from Call Logs.
2- Sometimes the keyboard goes crazy while Drafting email and start typing multiple alphabets I.e. eeee /dddd / ooooo etc.
3- Lag in registering Touch especially on Phone dialing.
Kindly help me with the solution if you have or had the same issue
Regards

Which firmware are you on? Had lag with touchscreen. So you should look if you can update your phone.
Also go on Settings/About/test device. There you can test everything on your phone and see what go wrong.

I am latest firmware 14.1.B.1.510. Recently updated.
I tested the device as you said and it seems fine there... But the problem is still bothering me and making my phone almost unusable.
It seems pure display calibration problem

Really annoying as there is no calibration setting on the phone. Tried a factory reset? Updated from Pc Companion or with flashtool?
