[Q] Xperia sola - Battery Drop problem - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi, im a newbie on this forum so im sorry if im making any mistake. I have xperia sola from September 2012. it was working well untill almost a year back. Check this
I'm having same problem since then , maybe because of overcharging or maybe because I had some battery monitoring apps installed. so from a year or so my phone cant stay up for more than 10mins and im living through it, at first i had no idea how to fix it but when i checked sony forum i got to know it can be repaired by SUS/SOny pc companion. I know all the steps about installing ics because i have done it by myself after buying this phone.but now i cant because i have slow internet it will take forever to download it and there is no Sony service center in my city. I searched about cyanogenmod and I really feel like trying it on my phone but im scared because I haven't played with the ROM thing ever so i may brick the phone and then blame the developers. I can download all the files required for cyanogenmod overnight on my phone and transfer them to laptop and do the further steps. but the problem is , what if my phone turns off during installation process? will it get bricked? and will it even solve the battery issue?
ok i cant post links over here i was just posting sony forum's thread.my phone's battery has problems it drops from 100% to 0% from 90% to 0% , just at any point, i cant use my phone without charger being plugged in

I see. So are you on official stock ICS right now? or not yet? I don't get how you need to install ics by yourself, as aren't xperia sola's shipped with ics installed already? Anyways, try one of the ff:
A. Recalibrate your battery stats (search a battery calibrate app in the play store. I think it requires root.)
B. Try a new battery
C. If you can, try doing a factory reset to see if it's an app's fault or a system service or something. Or maybe try removing apps that keep running in the background. I don't think flashing cyanogen will help much if in your stock rom the problem already exists.
D. Or if it's not a software problem or a battery problem, then maybe it's a phone hardware problem. I had a neo V that had a short. So battery life was cut. battery always gets eaten, even when I turn the phone off! Maybe you could try going to a cellphone repair store not necessarily a sony center if your warranty period is already over
Hope this helps

There's is absolutely no risk in the process of rooting. It's what you do after rooting. You can also try eroot or shume root genius. I believe it can work with xperia sola too. Go do it!!

i tried eroot but it didn't work on my xperia sola build number 6.1.1.B.1.54 , neither binary's method worked.
should i try another method? flashing 6.1.1.B.1.10 > using binary's app > flashing 6.1.1.B.1.54 again
but from where should i download flashtool? ive never done this before

Yup! That's quite common and guides for that are easy to find.
Also, before you do the kernel change, have you tried http://www.shuame.com/en/root/ ?
Btw for eroot, shuame, flash tool, and binary's root app to work, drivers are needed.
For drivers, you can find a driver installer within flash tool. Or you could use the drivers provided by sony pc companion. So don't expect any of them to work if you haven't installed working drivers.

any one should work. only can tell, by trial and error.
So your options and fallbacks:
1. your link from sony's website (it says for GB... you're on ICS already right? idrk if this one should work well)
2. sony pc companion provided drivers (recommmended IMO)
3. shuame root genius provided drivers (you should try the others first and this is your last resort)
4. flashtool provided drivers (I also recommend this)
5. PdaNet (really really last resort. not that' it's bad or anything. I just like sticking to officially provided drivers for starters)

I've run out of ideas now.. Maybe flashing a different baseband may help. Note this is a blind guess.. I dont know if it will help or not. I just know baseband does affect battery life. I have never done this myself so I don't know how risky it can be

Just be sure that the Rom you are about to download is legitimately stock Rom. As I don't know where you got that download link. I am not from the sola forum so I don't recognize the username
It is best to download from a laptop/desktop as phone download managers often make uncommon file types into unusable files. U could go to a computer shop or try downloading it from a friend's house. Then flash it yourself on your laptop

[Q] Request Help of The Looping SuperOneClick

i appologize for my lack of english
Im a user of xperia 10 mini on 2.1 android. I need to install some of my apps on the sdCard but people said it only can be done on 2.2 (froyo) or by using app2sd.
The first option was too difficult and high risk (in fact i cant do it, the second was my issue here.
I cant root my x10 mini (2.1), i've been using these: z4root, terminal emulation push some .apk from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739874 threat, universalRoot, and the last i use SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse. I put my interest in this apps, coz most people said they've succeed use this app (on 2.1 (eclair)) but i found it keep loop and loop. I've toggle the usb debuging but its doesnt work.
Please help me, the poor eclair, help me o' masters of android

The thing is that the very last version of the x10 mini firmware cannot be rooted yet, so if you want to root your phone, you have to flash the previous version of eclair with bin4ry's flash tool and then root it using z4root. sorry for my english too

my thanx for the reply, but i have more question
do i need some of "the previous version" eclair rom?
what about my chance of bricking my phone?
can i rollback my installation (flash)?
im sorry for being totally newbie
I have the newest firmware: "2.1-update1" - "2.0.A.0.504" updated via SEUS 2 days ago and have managed to root it (Eventually) using "SuperOneClickv1.5.5".
It took a while and was a bit trial-and-error to find the exact time to disconnect/disable USB debugging but it does work! - Keep trying!!!
I am currently looking into installing App2SD which, apparently, can be easiest done via XRecovery (Once your phone is rooted).
This seems one of the most comprehensive sources that I have found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833722
Hope this helps and please can someone correct me if I am wrong because I have only been using Android for a week (Plenty of experience with other devices though!)

bro,...
it is soo sad that i cant even flash my phone using the tools you mentions. The program that you give me, the roms, they keep searching for my x10 mini, when i realize my not in the flash mode, so i reboot my phone while keep pressing the back button, the little green light coming out, i switch to my PC only to see the message stay the same..
see endless dots and "Searching for Xperia...." message
people say my phone is invisible to the flasher, so how to make her visible?
with the correct usb driver you said, but sire, i currently using the SEUS thing, is there any more correct driver than this SEUS thing?
so,.. couldnt blame bin4ry for his nordic invention, just they people from the Sony Erricson for their hard-to-crack-cage...
please... set my phone free....

Are you sure that your phone is actually in "USB Debugging mode"?
Click Settings --> Applications --> Development and then Put a tick in the "USB Debugging" box.
Once connected to windows, this should add extra drivers for "Sony Ericsson sa0101 ADB Interface Driver"
SuperOneClick is extremely tempermental when connecting but I have now used it on 3 phones.
Exactly what version ROM are you using?
I used standard drivers provided with the newest PC suite downloaded from SE.
I've already switching usb debugging mode all night long, maybe i just dont get the correct timing right?
i dont really know what rom im using, but the version on firmware are 2.1-update1 and the kernel are 2.6.29 build 2.0.2.A.0.24
can you give me the right time to switch mode? i mean what is the right text on the console for the switching?
thnx bro

2.0.A.0.504 is not the latest; 2.0.2.A.0.24 is the latest and is the unrootable version. No amount of SuperOneClick will root it.

hey try this , i got this edited by someone here , i forgot who , btw give it a try , i successfully root x10i and the others mini pro , haha , it is actually same as super one click just the rageagainstthecage been customized , try it
Run super one click as admin and it works on the 5th or 6th try for me.
if it gets stuck on installing SU, enable and disable usb debug.

New to all this !

Just got a Sony Ericsson X10 and it has Android 1.6. I want to upgrade to the latest version of android and want to enable features like multi touch.. How do i upgrade my phone? I dont know anything about android and most of the posts here have just confused me
Hi - and welcome..
Go to the Sony Ericsson website and download and install SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) to your PC..
Fire that up and follow the onscreen instructions (carefully)..
That will get you upto the latest version of the firmware for your phone..
It may NOT be the latest available firmware though depending on whether your phone is customised by a specific carrier/ network?
If it doesn't upgrade you then look settings and about phone then tell us the country and customisation info in there..
Good luck..
If you're feeling brave you can root it too.. and do a load of other stuff.. (took me a while to build up the courage to get into all that side of it.. but was worth it in the end, cos phone performance can be improved dramatically)!

Greets alamode, congrats on your new X10, and welcome to xda.
First off, it's great to hear that you have at least tried to find a place to start with your Android, and I know it can be rather daunting, as well as time consuming.
- If you're only interested in official Sony Ericsson (SE) Firmwares then you can just simply connect your phone to your computer after having installed PC companion on it
and follow the instructions. This should give you the latest official rendition of Android for the X10 which is 2.1 and includes dual touch.
- If however you wish Custom Firmwares which go well beyond anything that Sony could ever offer than I would recommend after having updated through PC Companion
(above) the next step is to 'Root' your X10 which allows you greater access and control over your device and the ability to 'Flash' (install) the many custom Themes, Apps, and ofcourse Firmwares(ROM)s

This should get you started. Read, learn what you can, if you need help/have a question -------> Use the search feature built into this Forum OR even Google it!
Have fun
Thanks for the quick reply guys !..
Well yeah i heard that rooting/flashing your phone opens up a whole new world for you so im definately interested in that. i've heard Sony ericsson wont upgrade X10 to latest versions of android? Can we still update them after rooting/flashing our device?
Anyways ill update my device first from Sony ericsson then.. After that i'll have to root my device? Since i dont know much about rooting/flashing can someone just guide me as to what that is and what it does? Whats the difference between rooting and flashing?
And thanks guys you lot are helpful !

Um No...
Trying to update but keep getting this : unable to install or start phone software update components
Try doing a repair first then try the upgrade..
For rooting.. go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906248 download Superoneclick to your pc and run it from there..
Rooting will give you access to the system files so if you start rooting around in there deleting things then it can be dangerous - but you can always reflash/ repair using SEUS.
Rooting will also give you the opportunity to install custom ROMS which you'll find on the Dev sub-forum.
Would also recommend that you install JIT once rooted, as this gives a big performance boost. You'll find that on these x10 forums too.
Alright.. This is so frustrating. Been trying to root my phone all night but not really able to get anywhere.. Here's what i did..
First i finally upgraded to 2.1.. I used another PC and somehow it didnt give me the error i was getting earlier at the other PC. Not sure what was the problem there.
After upgrading to 2.1 i decided to root. First i used the SuperOneClick file to root my phone. After rooting, I installed BusyBox and then kept installing xRecovery but with no luck. xRecovery would just not install !!! I coped the apk file and ran the install from the phone, I got the icon but after getting the icon when it comes to the installing part it just freezes and after a while i get an error which gives me 2 options, Either to force close or to wait. I tried the other method too, the pushing method using X10ModTool and that didnt work either. After lots of tries and after getting extremely frustrated i uninstalled the apps and tried to start fresh.. I unrooted my phone using SuperOneClick and decided to root using z4root. I got the icon in the menu for z4root and i clicked on permanent root.. My phone restarts but i dont see the SuperUser icon anywhere.. If i try to install BusyBox it keeps on saying that its trying to get information..
So, So extremely frustrating !
Oh and i forgot to mention that after upgrading to 2.1, my Phone seems to have become slower while swishing between screens..
Which build number version do you have as the Superoneclick is for 2.1.A.0.435 and 2.0.2.A.0.24.
2.1.A.0.435
Im just not able to get root access ! Ive tried X10 Flash Tool, Ive tried SuperOneClick, Ive tried another software as well.. I just cant seem to get the root access..
I Installed Root checker and everytime after i root i check and it says that you do not have root access.. :S
help !

Install xRecovery and then you can even upgrade your phone to 2.2 there are some good ROMS available on this forum, you can check this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=617
Thanks. Yeah i have xrecovery installed as well.
What is basically a ROM? From my understanding its a customized firmware? If so, Which ones the best at the moment? I cannot compromise on functionality (as in i dont want that i cannot use bluetooth/camera/wifi or some other feature because of the rom). So basically i just want a stable rom in which i dont have any limitations. Also what is the advantage of using another rom anyway?
Thanks !
Okay.. ran a few of those optimizations and stuff and the phone is running a bit better. Can you guys tell me what is a good Benchmark score for Stock 2.1 on x10? im getting 33.4 MFLOPS right now.. is that alright?
I still am experiencing a little stutter in the menus, so i installed LauncherPro and that seems to have taken care of it.. I dont understand why cant i get the stutter to go away in the original home screen?
Lastly, Another problem ive been having.. My mobile is connected via USB but instead of it charging up, It is very very slowly losing charge. It went from 95% to 89% in around 45-60 minutes. Whats that all about?

For me the best 2.1 ROM so far is bluesparks, it is very fast and stable. Everything works in this ROM.
As for a 2.2 ROM, i just love wolfbreak's CM6.1.3 v4.3. Everything works except for the camcorder. For getting the camcorder to work you can download video illusion from the market. The quality wont be as good though. However this ROM is just too good. Too fast and stable with good animations.

Is this the 2.2 Rom you were talking about:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945264
Secondly, If i do install this ROM, Will all my applications and everything be deleted? Is there a way to just simply install the ROM and keep everything as it is?

Yeah, that is the 2.2 ROM I was talking about. Make sure you install the correct one depending on your baseband.
In order to keep everything, make a backup of your apps using titanium backup. You can then restore your apps after installing this ROM. Thats what I did.
Wolfbreak has given another way here:

Ah thanks, I might go for 2.1 cause of the camcoder.. Any chance of a fix for it coming in 2.2?

Go here and get Super One click, you can also folow that tutorial but like you I was new to this and ran into a few problems following that tutorial (Very simple problems to get by but i didn't realise lol)
Any way here we go:
Things you need:
Super one click - Get it from here as this one worked for me
link2sd (off the andriod market, this alows your apps to install to sd card)
titanium backup free or pro (you can get busybox from this and also uninstall everthing you don't want on the phone but be carefull)
But first
Lets stats at the begining,
connect your phone/mount just normal connect then go here and follow the steps, after that restart your phone (Don't worry if your phone displays an error before you restart just reboot)
Now go into you settings, applications, Development then tick USB Debugging (You can also go to settings Sound and Display, Screen time Out and set it to 30 mins)
after doing so run super one click on you computer, connect your phone but select charge phone this time, then click root (If the usb conection screen reapears on your phone just re-click charge phone) and when it is done it will ask you if you want to do a test before you click yes disconect your phone reboot it, connect again in charge mode then click yes and ok to the next message then on your phone you should get a message from the super use app click allow.
righty oh asuming everything has gone well download titanium backup (free or pro, i use free lol) once installed go on it and click problem alow it with the super user, and click 'Problems?' then 'Get busybox'.
after that you'll be able to uninstall stock apps, finaly if you want your apps to gon onto your sd instead of phone memory get link2sd of the andriod market if not don't lol, once you have it go on it allow with super user and click the FAT somthing option sorry can't remember but you can't miss it (bottome one) click ok then you can sellect apps to move to your sd
and we are DONE hope this helped as I never had anyone explain in depth to me lol anyway any problems i'd be more than happy to help out
Enjoy and hope everything goes well for you

Rooting your phone allows backups/restore, custom roms, able to install/delete system apps. It basically frees any restrictions on the phone

1. nope, rooting your phone will not delete any data..
2. not necessary, well if you insist, you always can backup first, for later use
3. maybe you can check this app here : this app cal MyBackup, if you like this app, you can purchase the pro version

Sounds like you didn't pay much attention to the instructions for unlocking your bootloader... There are a few warnings in there...

You have to go back to stock firmware and then relock the bootloader (press the restore button in S1Tool), don't use the x10blrelock from flashtool.
I hope your signal will be back by then, and i guess you'll be stuck with ROMS that run on stock kernel.

[Q] Xperia X10...about to lose it :( (Urgent Help can save me)

While trying to fix my message problem (stuck in sending) on my Custom ROM TW 007 on Xperia X10, I have managed to completely screw my phone. Now, I have the following issues
1. Wifi doesnt work.
2. SD Card wont mount
3. SEUS wont connect.
4. Busybox wont install. (problem with Core Utilities)
5. xRecovery wont install.
and obviously Messaging wont work.
I would greatly appreciate if experts can help me out here since I have been stuck for couple of days now with it. Otherwise I be buying another phone soon and sadly I may have to switch from Android to another platform
try reflashing firmware ?????
I am no expert,but i would suggest you to try and flash stock.
Hope this help....
Try flashing your stock firmware by flashtool.

Thanks. Will update with results
I somehow deleted last Post from someone who sent a link to the Stock Firmware. Many thanks. My phone is back.
I want to flash Custom ROM again as the stock is too slow.
I went it Xrecovery and Unzipped the Wolf_GB_2.3. It was successful but nothing happened. I am currently on 2.3.3. Is that the issue?

dont unzip it.
Place it on the sd card and install it in xrecovery.
Make sure you have the correct version of the rom...i imagine you need one the locked bootloader version
you will never lose it. SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE X10. the phone is unbrickable. Good luck.

Not quite, with an unlocked bootloader it is, speak to DooMLoRD about it
But with a locked bootloader you are correct, a repair with pccompanion will always sort out the phone

He bricked it in a process most of us are not even able to comprehend,
let alone perform, so for the average user, X10 is pretty much unbreakable.

Which is what I meant, but it is incorrect to say it is impossible to brick it, just that it is extremely unlikely that mortals like us will ever do anything that could brick it..
try disconnecting the cord while the bootloader unlock is "in progress". you'll pretty well realise that lesser mortals can brick this phone too.

Not really, he was trying to find a way to flash kernels into boot partition from OS/recovery and after insmodding a module, device got stuck and died after unplugging,
but probably bootloader got corrupted during the insmod and not the unplug.
Anyway, that doesn't happen every day!
And yes, it's a golder rule: don't unplug it!

Ray doesn't charge when switched off

Hey Devs and users,
Been facing a problem lately, my ray is running on stock 4.0.3 rooted and modded with they system ui mod with the quick panel settings with hansip87's mod and also a few things i did was install the modded gpu driver and also installed and again uninstalled the megabass feature
Anyway I have the habit of switching off my phone and charging it through the wall and i've noticed it doesn't charge like that anymore, it keeps going in and out of the "sony" bootloop, is there any fix for this?
Would really appreciate if someone can fix this, want to be able to switchoff the phone and charge it
EDIT: had it for almost a year, just rooted last week i guess before it was stock and running good

oh now I get it, we're talking about rooting methods for ICS, am I right?
seems like we are on the same page but I used the one by asertyio. That "apparently" fixed my stuttering HD video recording
slower charging? yes, a bit. but that's because the phone is on while charging but I reached 3 days with sub-normal use
solved?
hi, sadly speaking that i have the exact problem, this problem emerged only after i install recovery (CWM) by nAa via the SE Tweak Installer v1.8. i do made a nandroid backup, would it be solved if i restore it? yet, if i repair it, back to stock rom, i still need to root and install CWM to restore data, will this problem still persist? i had read the SE forum from the link given above but i still can't figure out the exact method to handle it.
actually it doesnt cause much problem only im worrying that one day i have to charge after switch off since the battery might drained out ...

from what I know, it must be repaired to fix the charging problem... although I don't want to use that method because like you said, I'll be back to where I've started and had to reinstall them all over again
