Does anyone else think that the Xperia Ray shutdown/poweroff sequence is a bit annoying? First, it's too long - who needs to confirm twice that they want to switch off their phone? Then it signs off by vibrating which I find really irritating - I'm a committed vibration hater!
Anyone else share this opinion and done anything to remedy the situation? If so, do let me know.
I'm sure the vibration thing's sorted out easily by removing an .apk file or something somewhere.. My Ray's rooted/locked bootloader/ ICS 4.0.4 btw.
go to general section, this is the development thread, don't open up a new thread just to ask this
This how shut down works on every single Android device I have and I really doubt it can be changed...

Sure it can be changed, I got rid of that (bloody horrible) O2 closedown animation by deleting an .apk file or two from the internal memory. Removing the shutdown vibration should be just as easy.
It's hardcoded in the operating system (probably in services.jar), it's not an apk that you could just delete
Exactly. Any animation can be deleted as it is added by the carrier or manufacturer but the vibration is there in Vanilla Android.
The length will depend on the phone specs, the ROM and the number of process the phone has to shut down (which changes from user to user) so you'll never get anything faster unless Google makes some changes.
On my Atrix running CM7, it's taking 6 to 8 seconds to shut down and the vibration is kind of a an alert saying that it all went fine. Perfect if you shut it down and then put it in your pocket : you know it shut down without having to check it. It's a feature.
Its possible to shutdown with one touch in 1 sec but its like turning off ur PC by pulling out power cable... I would not recommend since OS is saving ur present Settings for Next boot...
If u want to try then check Quickboot app from Play store.. it does the same thing...
That's fine - thanks all for the replies!

Hi,
before you chop my head off, please listen
I did a lot of (google and xda) searching and i indeed found some useless discussions in Q&A section a.k.a. "what is that" "can i delete that" yada yada yada... . I know what it is, but i wanna disable it. And in Q&A obviously not that many capable ppl/cooks take a look. Thats the reason why i post here...
As this is not rom-related (happens with(out) sense roms on 2.2 and 2.3), i wonder if it's some default kernel routine, which can be altered. Or maybe just some textual setting in a config file?
As this is kinda annoying, if you use the dhd in a silicon case, where the two buttons are hit very often simultaniously, a solution would be great.
Any ideas?
thx in advance
angelus
what are you talking about? what do you mean happens when pressing vol up + vol down? on my phone nothing happens.

hitting both buttons the same time, it vibrates, takes some time to generate a 2-4mb bugreport on /sdcard/bugreports , vibrates 2 times again when its finished.
meanwhile the dhd is completly laggy and not to be used, which is annoying when you get it out of your pocket just to type a text or answer a call
also happens if screen is off. i am currently on cm7 nightly #36

i didn't checked if it creates a bug report but i never had my phone laggy when i pressed that two. just tested it. it even does not vibrate.
never had it on stock neither on my current leedroid 2.2.2 or any prvious leddroid rom.

Pressing the two buttons (vol +/-) creates a bug report on Mighty Nutella (CM7).. never noticed this though
Disable debugging mode
Still doing bugreports if usb debug is disabled... already tried that.
If you disable it your phone will probably get laggy due to the buggy init process

i don't know of cm7 but in the latest stock and also in several custom roms this has been already fixed for long time.
but on custom roms you may hit a different problem without usb debugging: it can happen that you get bootloops after rebooting without usb debugging on.
unfortunately this is going exactly the q&a direction, where i didnt wanna go. check the links in #3, there is everything mentioned you posted so far.
maybe a developer/cook can take a look at it or has an opinion.
thx.
Would be nice to know if this can be disabled. I have the same problem with the gel case putting pressure on both buttons when I pull it out of my pocket. Even worse is when its got both volume buttons pressed and I press Power to wake the screen. Instant reboot.
I know this is by design, but like the OP, I would also like to know if it can be disabled.
hmm, funny... after some more trys i managed to get the same behaviour
but it doesn't happen allways. in my case it is quite difficult to reproduce it, but possible.
Let me just point the OP to Chef Central for this. Obviously this is a Chef/dev question, and it's likely occurring on multiple devices.
Thread will be moved there.
so thats why it always vibrates by itself!
somebody please find a way to disable this! All those bugreports had 1gb of space used!!! obviously deleted now but before I was wondering why i had such a small amount of space..
Yep i can confirm that as well, CM7 latest nightly, it's annoying because you are listening to music it's a in a phone sock, you go to press a button to turn it up, you press both by accident, **** hits the fan.
I have also just come across this issue when my favourite Huawei u8150 custom rom was updated to Kernel v2.2.2 ported from a Huawei u8180.
I have worked out a quick and dirty fix and so far is works without any issues. Check my post below for full details.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15429103&postcount=242
Somewhere, in your BOOT.IMG, there's an ".rc" file with these rows:
Code:
# bugreport is triggered by the KEY_VOLUMEUP and KEY_VOLUMEDOWN keycodes or triggered by projectmenu
service bugreport /system/bin/dumpstate -d -v -o /sdcard/bugreports/bugreport
user root
disabled
oneshot
keycodes 115 114
I simply deleted the last one and bugreport is not annoying LEANdroid's users anymore!
ps. I also modified the description row in this way:
Code:
# bugreport is triggered by projectmenu
I have almost everything how I want it now... However there are some things that are still niggling at me about how the Nook operates. I fell in love with CM7 and the ability to completely disable the lock screen.
I can't find a way to do this on the rooted stock rom that I am using. There are a few apps, but while they turn it off for a little while they don't keep it turned off and it randomly enables itself again.
Does anyone know a solution - note I am alright with modifying APK files somewhat if that is required, I don't know where to start though and certainly would rather have a software solution that I didn't need to modify APK files for.
By poor response I mean:
- press power button, phone wakes very, very slowly
- enter phonebook/dialer/messages and the phone moves very, very, very, very slowly ( I can't dial or type or anything)
- phone rings and the screen doesn't go on for a long time, when it does I cannot answer the call for about 10 seconds
Restarting the phone doesn't help, reinstalling the software with SUS or PCC doesn't help. Deleting many apps doesn't help. Removing SD card doesn't help.
Why does it do this? How to solve? This has happened on every version of Sony ICS that I've used. Should I try to disable a core or what? I really don't know. I really have to ask this now because I can't figure it out, and I'm missing important calls etc.
Atleast I can solve phonebook and dialer problem
Use ex dialer
Its simple very fast and can be themed
M telling because m using

the best you an do is switch to custom rom and feel the difference......

Thanks guys. I have only used Go stuff on custom ROMS, I'll try it on stock now.
The thing about custom ROMS to me is...you fix 3 problems and 3 new ones are created. There is a great and popular ROM available at the moment that I tested the last 5 versions of and; 1) it doesn't wake when I press power, 2) reboots often 3) lights don't work etc. but it is very speedy and smooth. Hmm

by the way which rom are you talking about???????

Two sides of the same coin...indeed, story of my life, I want everything lol
Maybe it would be OK to say the ROM. I've tried many, but most like CM9. There are so many things I liked about it, but not waking up was really bad and reboots is a little unreliable.

Honestly, I've tried about the last 5 of them...I follow the instructions as they are, and I always backup, wipe everything etc.
I set up another thread recently investigating the hardware requirments of ICS/Jelly Bean etc. to see from a hardware point what you need to get your phone running well. I think I know a bit more now thankfully but my next investigation is exactly what cars are crashing inside this damn phone...
I'm going to test another custom ROM today...here's hoping. There are a lot of alpha ROMS out there which look awesome but are very much in development...

You should flash stock firmware than flash kernel support inti.d tweaks add tweaks and add tweaks to build.prop delete apps you do not need on system/ app for more ram and
No need for a custom rom
And no bugs
And feel the speed
Hi xda Community,
at first - BIG THANKS TO ALL OF YOU ACTIVE CUSTOM ROM GUYS!!
With all your FAQs, Videos and postings, you made it possible - and easy - for me, to get rid of the annoying Sony ROM by rooting and installing a custom rom.
Currently I am running CM10 FXP230 on my Xperia U. I know it is not a stable version, but still a great improvement in speed for me and also the first ROM i discovered during my internet research for an alternative to the slow stock sony stuff.
However, i am facing some problems during the daily usage of my phone, perhaps one of you can support me during finding a solution for some of them.
1. Updating ROM
Pretty basic question, just need a confirmaton that i understood it the right way. I download the new Version of the custom rom (e.g.fxp232), copy the zip onto the smartphone and reboot into recovery mode. There i use CMW to first wipe cache and delvik cache, then select and install new version from zip.
Correct way so far?
What about the Google Apps? Do i have to reinstall them too?
Do i have to backup the SD card data and my apps,?
2. The Camera Fix
At the beginning i thought that i could live with an inverted camera due to the fact, that i am not taking many of them with my phone. but during the last weeks i had to face the facts - its important from time to time :cyclops:
During my search in this forum i found a user linking to a file called "FXP231_CM10_CamReverse_Fix".
Does this work only with FXP231, or also earlier and later versions?
How do I install it, like gApps in CMW?
3. Alarm Clock
I am using my phone as an alarm clock almost every day. Its plugged in to recharge during the night. Sometimes the phone crashes during the night time and the alarm is not going off. The display turns dark, no reaction to any button i plress, only the little signal light at the top right is glowing constantly. I have to take out the battery every time and make the same changes in settings over and over again.
Is this the "deepsleep" problem everyone is talking about? Is it connected to the cpu settings - I did select "conservative" there. Whats causing the problem?
4. Dial Pad
Every time i am dialing an unknown number the touchpad is hardly responding. It can take up to 5 minutes to enter all numbers and dial. I already deactivated the T9 contact search, still no improvement. Anyone any similar expieriences?
5.General Custom ROM Question
During my journey through this Community I found out, that there are a lot of different roms available. Some - with only minor changes - based on other custom roms, some based on sony.....whatever. Right now i am totally confused that ROM to use (if the above mentioned problems cant be solved!!)
I just need a quiet fast and reliable ROM to use in daily life - well this is everyones wish i guess......
So what am I doing with my phone? Basically I am just using my phone to call people, use whatsapp, check mails, manage my appointments and take a spontaneus picture from time to time. No Video, Twitter, Facebook, Games and what else is out there...........and no big experiments and time to backup, upgrade and reset my phone stuff every week.
Should I go back to CM9?
Cant I install a "normal google android" rom? Might sound stupid, but isnt there some kind of "pure" rom for all phones, that gives you the same comfort as the sony stock rom (-> update and functionality) ?
Even if there is not THE correct answert to this question, maybe some of you can at least suggest some interesting ROMs, that might fit
uff.....long wall of text, hopefully I could point out my problems good enough to motivate you to spent your time to answer them.

First of all, this is a long question and you must donate me for answering. Haha. Just joking but you need to consider yourself and get experiences.
1. Reboot CWM and install the ROm amd Gapps needs to be reinstalled.
Wipe dalvik cache and cache then reboot. You're updated.
2. It is for FXP231 and so you must install 231 in order to have fixed
3. Go to deepsleep so much in CM10. Some said pretty awesome because it saves battery but it is in deep sleep so you can't really control your phone no more. Like you can't awake in the morning because you are in deep sleep.so hard to wake up. And yes your problem is deep sleep.
4. Use Go Dialer or Touchpal Dialer. Download from Play Store. It will make you better. Stock is still laggy and under development.
5. I run SlimCM which is CM9 and everything works except sound bug and FM Radio. Sound bug can be fix with Viper4Android. Run CM9 which is great, fast and stable.
And I really want to advice you is find out more yourself. It's more getting trouble but you will become more awesome I answer your question short so don't mind me about that but if you need anything, just quote and ask. Bye.

Sorry for asking again, but most times i just dont have the needed phrase to search for - combines with 50+ pages of results it really drives me crazy sometimes. After making a, lets say really stupid mistake, installing the rom in the beginning, it took me almost ages to find the threat to return to the beginning and reinstall it properly.

Thanks a lot for reading and answering my questions anyway, you got yourself a honest "thanks button klick" as a reward :laugh:
Okay, so now i know that "my deepsleep problem" is kind of a reversed version of almost everyone eleses deepsleep problem. Everyone wants his phone to enter deepsleep, i want to prevent that.
Will this app solve the problem? Deep Sleep Battery Saver
I mean, if I can set the phone to "wake up" short before my alarm time it might work, right?
I read something about Apps causing the problem, especially messenger apps. Can anyone verify that information, or is it some random guess?
Edit:
Also I found out, that the Phone should not enter deepsleep while being charged. Unfortunately this seems to happen to mine over and over again.

DS battery saver is the one for some phones that cannot go into deepsleep. It force the phone to Deep Sleep with some profiles to make your phone not deaf. Good app and I'm using it.
Blah blah blah, anyway, it's the ROM problem I think but you can simply reply FXP's CM10 about the fix No worries. I think you can fix nothing at this stage. And also I thought Alarm app crashing amd screen not waking up is not only the Deep Sleep issues but also the rom bug of excessive Deep Sleep or alarm app not fully functional. Please reply to the rom thread and wait for answer! High Five!!

As you can see, I'm new to this forum. I apologize if I have posted in the wrong forum. Please do move it to the correct one kindly.
I've bought a Karbonn Smart A2+, and I've run into some issues. The middle physical button of the three on the bottom of the phone seems to be malfunctioning. It sends me back to the homescreen every few seconds, like it's been repeatedly spammed down even if I'm not holding it down. I'd like to inquire if there's any way I can turn this button off? Or even better, is there any fix for this?
The phone arrived and when I unboxed it, it did this. I went out to a local phone salesman who also undertakes repair, but the phone worked perfect en route when I reached there too (I looked like an idiot trying to explain whats wrong with my phone).
I thought it had fixed itself, so I went back home and it started malfunctioning again. I tried everything: removing and replacing sim and sd card, wiping the battery and the phone, giving it a nice hot oil massage. Nothing seems to help.
I'd also like to inquire about the process to root this device, if possible. I'd also like to know the benefits of a rooted Android as opposed to a non-rooted one.
Thanks in advance!
No, it doesn't. Also, it seems to happen randomly, sometimes working perfect and most of the time its a pain in my ass.
No, its not overcharged nor is it plugged into my pc.
Oh that's terrible... My phone fixed itself, now it only does this when I try to play a game like subway surfers. Is there any way I can disable the button for some apps?
Try Uninstalling apps
Due to Low Memory, maybe its a Pain to use dis device... try uninstalling some useless apps, ... try rooting it with FRAMAROOT v1.6.1... maybe it'll work, if doesn't,,, try flashing stock ... search for link.. guess its on gsmforum....:good::good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
