HEY GUYS! this thread is dedicated to the xperia u and xperia sola pink spot on camera issue.
this was originaly spotted on the xperia u, but seeing that the xperia sola would probably have the same camera lens and module, i thought that it would probably pop up on the sola too and hence have included it in this thread.
so lets get to the issue.
main issue- PINK/PURPLE spot seen on center of the screen when taking pics.
basicaly even on the camera preview, and on the taken picture, on the video preview and while taking video, there is a pink-ish or purple-ish spot at the center of the image. this spot some times is even yellow, and somtime, with low light, disappears..... here are some pics taken with it-

as u can see, when they are zoomed in the spots seem blue-ish...they appear purple on the phone. sometimes the spot is yellow. keep in mind that this problem developed 3 weeks after i bought the phone....it was clicking fine 3 days back....then suddenly i got this problem.... i have also heard of others getting this problem with the same phone. and since its 7 days since i bought the phone, they wont replace it....only fix it..it will be done under warrenty though
so pls...post here, with screenshots/pics if u can, if u have this problem. also mention details.. eg- when u got the phone, if it was there when u bought it, how i fixed it, what sony did to fix it....... i called sony, and they said i should take it to sony service center...and that others are also having this problem....so any other ideas?? also, i am planning to relock my bootloader before taking it for servicing.... so pls any help would be appreciated!
Definitely a hardware issue IMO. And this is the first time I have seen this kind of an issue .
Get it fixed ASAP
Hope Sony don't take too long.

i think that flashing official update will overwrite custom kernel too, btw yes the spot is gone updating to 6.0.B.3.162 using update service (i relocked bootloader)
i also RE Unlocked and RE flashed custom rom but at that point the spot appeared again, so is a problem of the build *.564
now i have stock firmware because i have locked again bootloader and reupdated to stock 6.0.B.3.162 waiting a rom based on it
(spot is gone again after official update)

so that means that prblm will always pop up if we flash a custom kernel/rom?
which in turn means that u cannot root phone without having spot in camera!!
i think i'll wait till ics update then:-/

Is There A Easy Way To Unlock Boot L oader Without Changing Rom And Change Kennel And Baseband .
Unlocking the bootloader simply means giving you the access to modify the phone to the fullest.
For example, with the old bootloader bypass, we can only flash the stock kernel from flashmode, and the custom kernel can only be the one modified from the stock kernel and can only be flashed via recovery mode, which is not the real recovery(xRecovery which we used before).
Having access to the bootloader can give us access to the real recovery mode, which will be useful for us in a specific situation.
You can unlock the bootloader with the files provided by the_laser. For simplified instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087

Once you've unlocked your bootloader, you can't use the stock kernel anymore.
And no, being on WB's ROM doesn't mean you don't have an unlocked bootloader. It's an entirely different thing, a ROM don't make your bootloader locked or unlocked.
And yes, there is such app but you still need to downgrade to old 2.1 kernel first then click the big button and reflash the stock 2.3 kernel. It was made by Malyeruqrofjskdfsmdf something like that.

Lol sorry, your name is just too hard to be spelled.
@OP, if you want to use the stock kernel, then don't waste your time unlocking it.
Once the final cyanogen is out i'd say yes, definitely unlock it. For now, just enjoy WB since it works just fine.

Yes. I've flashed this ROM, and my bootloader is locked.
You only need a unlocked bootloader if you're planning on flashing a custom kernel, and or any custom ROM. (E.G cm7, etc)
I had never used fastboot, flashtool, etc before, as i've always been a samsung, Odin flash a holic lolz. But I bought my Xperia mini as it's cheapest phone that money can buy that is ics ready ;-)
If you need help flashing, I'm the wrong person to assist, as I'm new to all this, but all I can say is that I followed a guide on the sony talk mobile site, and also here via flashtool thread and site.
Hope that helps.
For me, this ROM is running so smooth, and myself, after flashing, I hooked up the phone to pc companion and clicked the repair my phone option in the software update tab, to download the original files from sony servers, to make my rom 1 hundred percent legit and trouble free.
Only issue that bugs me, is that pinch ln zoom in the stock Browser is poor. The text isn't crystal clear straight away like how it is in gingerbread, but it's only blurry for a fraction of a second.
I've not adjusted anything yet to try and remedy it though ;-)
I wanna keep it as stock, and non rooted too, as I'm happy with it like so
I'll only unlock bootloader and flash cm9 once it's fully stable and no issues. Till then, stock is king in my opinion LOL.

Hello
When using this ROM the games controls doesn't work
i tried to use Angry Bird and BackStap
and i can't use any thing on screen or use any control
Same thing happens to me,I tried one game,and I can't press ok,or some other things.
What could be the problem?

I don't have this problem, and I've been playing angry birds, angry birds space a lot *confused*
Here's what I did :
Flashed ftf file, rebooted, reset back to factory settings, (data wiped), and once phone rebooted, I hooked up the phone to Sony pc companion, then clicked on update part. Once it said my phone was upto date, I clicked the repair phone option, that essentially triggers the original firmware to be downloaded from Sony servers.
This option data wipes during the Flash / repair option.
Once rebooted, I reinstalled my apps and games, then everything was okay.
I've noticed a few on Sony mobile forum site have this issue, along with camera quirks, and Sony themselves recommend the repair phone option in pcc.
A lot are reluctant to do it, as obviously you've a phone then with your apps missing, having to reinstall your apps and games from scratch, but it's worth it, as it does fix 99% of problems.
And isn't it any wonder I don't have the game problem, camera issues etc?
Pcc and the "repair phone" option is your friend; so give it a try ;-)

Oh That's sad but what i think is that if there is no such physical damage on the screen or the touch panel with cracks or any other damages then you'll break your warranty if there is no such physical damages then i'm pretty much sure that you can report to Sony if they dont get it done...

Well, furthermore I had bought it on March-2012, so I think that th 1-year warranty is finished. I don't want to buy other cellphone But the touch has just stopped working yesterday right before flashing th TouchWiz (ICS) over the 0.58 (GB).
I have reinstalled PC Companion, but it keeps on the same. The older version of SEUS (with repair button) doesnt seems to work on Win8! There´s anything else you know I could do?

My cellphone is impossible to Unlock Bootload. About the ROM, here is what I done
1. It was on the Official 4.0.2.A.0.58 firmware, which is GingerBread based
2. I rooted, installed CWM but still on 0.58
3. I downloaded the TouchWiz ROM form here, that is made to Both BL and Ice Cream Sandwich base
4. It bricked, my guess is that the Kernel from SE Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.58 is not compatible with ICS, so I should have updated to 4.1.B.0.587 that should update its Kernel to support ICS. Here it still entering on CWM but the touch buttons refused to work on it.
5. So, I unbricked the cellphone with the Xperia Unbrick Guide, and installed the 0.58 again, what made it boot, but still no touch.
Since that I flashed and reflashed ROMs thru FlashTool, including the ST17i and ST18 that were recommended in other topics, but still no touch. I really don't know what else to do, since i can neither activate USB Debugging nor acess CWM that was lost on this mess.

Hello again xda. I really hope someone will be able to help me. So the issue is I am getting a weird looking boot screen every time I turn on my phone or restart. It looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Now this is not the same model as mine but the screen is exactly the same as what happens to mine. It stays on that for a few seconds and then goes to the honor screen and boots as normal and as far as I can tell, the phone works fine for all intents and purposes. It's just an eyesore having to see that every time and I was wondering if there is anyway to fix this to make it the regular boot? Let me also note that my bootloader is locked and I cannot unlock it for the life of me. I usually resolve things like this on my own after doing research but I have done extensive research on this matter and cannot find a solution. I did the thing where it gives me the unlock code and it tells me it is invalid every time I try to unlock with it. I attempted to call Huawei and they said they cannot help me with that and kept reiterating it will void my warranty. So keep this in mind, I cannot do any kind of flash from recovery because my phone is locked and I have no way to unlock it to my knowledge. Any and all help will be much appreciated. If any more information is needed just let me know, but I believe I covered everything. Thanks.
EDIT: As requested I will add another piece of information. I do not get the Huawei powered by Android screen (without animation), I guess that is the part the weird boot screen replaces. I do however, get the Huawei screen that does have an animation.

It seems that you debrand it to use another model's firmware. That's the reason I believe
Lol... I was about to say that another user has the same problem but could not find a solution and then I saw the OP and it's you buddy.
Hope you solve your problem now that this problem has a thread of its own.

One thing to add, if you don't that green screen at the beginning, revert back to the official fw
Just to clarify, when we turn on Huawei phone, there are two honor logos, the first one is honor and powered by Android (without animation) and the second one is honor (with animation), I guess you don't see the first powered by Android logo...
If yes, please edit OP to mention this...

Could you please link me the official firmware? In my other post someone mentioned I do a flash via the button method and it helped but did not get rid of the boot screen issue. I am not sure if the one I used was official or not.

Yea it gave me an option to reboot normally and when I did it brought me back to where I was before.
Just go back to the ROM you were on before, that's all I can say

Yes, since it was extracted from the phone.

Hey guys I am facing this error at 99% for past 4 months whenever I try to unlock the bootloader of my Redmi note 3 . I have successfully unlocked the bootloader of my Redmi note 3 6 months ago but locked it using mi flash so what should I do now .please tell me if you have a fix
I dont think there is proper solution for now...Most likely the problem is their server side ! Me too having same Issue and stucked there, tried everything to unlock officially and desperate now ! Tried different software variants but nothing helped
Its issue from last few months i think, people who were successful before are not able to do now,so their servers dead is all i could assume

As i already said before. Beta rom or stable rom has nothing to do with it. I unlocked mine on stable rom.
Syncing is very important. Ur device and miaccount info should be synced with xiaomi sever. Keep it enable for wifi and mobile data. The server which sends unlock key is not synchronised with ur device everyday. May be weekly they update thier server. The reason why u see this errors.
So keep sync on and dont change roms.
You wouldn't believe me but I unlocked my Redmi note 3 4 months ago but here is the fun part I wasn't on miui I was on the remix which I flashed using flashing zcx twrp on locked bootloader .So I think the Xiaomi servers look only for miui account and not for device?????

I have redmi note 3 (snapdragon) 2 GB version. MI Unlock works fine. You should update to the latest tool and try again.
