Screenshot green on X10i - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday I wanted to take a screenshot of a message that appeared on my phone. I used the inbuilt Screenshot functionality of AirDroid as well as an app called Easy Screenshot, with root, but both give the same image (images attached and not re-sized or edited)
I am wondering why this happens. If I don't give root, nothing happens at all. Is there any way I can fix this, because I sometimes want an image of the messages my Service Providers sends me.
After rebooting several times, it is the same.
I am running stock upgraded Android 2.3 on my Sony Xperia X10i.
I appreciate any help.

Hi, I am from AirDroid Team, and AirDroid just has a XDA Forum Section, you are encouraged to post a question there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/airdroid
AirDroid screenshot function may not work for some devices and for Android 2.3 OS, it could not fix. I suggest you upgrade your Android OS.

[SOLVED][Q] Strange notification issue

Hi.
Have this strange "problem" a few days ago, on the notification bar. It´s displaying all the time 3 apps in "incoming"... (look the screenshot for better understanding, below "Entrante" are Notes, Folder Organizer and Timescape).
Don´t know the reason and only installed recently HandcentSms, but i can´t figure if that can be related to that, so i´m looking for a solution for this.
Any clues or help please ??
(As a new user, i´m not allowed to post images, but that´s the link to the screenshot anyway, so take a look please).
Code:
i38.tinypic.com/30c25xt.jpg
Thanks so much in advance.
Have you tried restarting?
Yes, of course.
Also tried to kill Timescape proccess, but no luck (the proccess autostarts ifself every time, but also don´t know if that´s related to the issue...).
Whats your firmware version? You could try updating from se to the latest
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
Phone is updated to the last available version on the Sony Ericsson Update program.
A few minutes ago, i´ve uninstalled Folder Organizer (as was the first app showed on the bar) and seems all 3 notifications are gone instantly, and no noticed anymore until now. So it seems the issue is related to that app, but can´t figure out the reason of showing that. I´ll post next if the issue re-appears.
For now, i have to search some icon-changer replacement

Screenshot

Hi. Anyone knows some screen capture app working on 2.1 nordic update ??? I´ve tried so many and the´re all working wrong.
you can also connect your phone to the computer with MPE -> http://www.fjsoft.at/en/
with this software you can capture screenshots
Thanks, but i don´t like (nor need) to connect the phone to the computer for that purpose.
I have the same, as soon as i connect the phone to the pc .. the phone goes all funny (reboot all the time) and if i take a screenshot it comes out all distorted, like the resolution is wrong ( i tried myphoneexplorer, droid explorer, shootme .. ) everything i could find.
pls help me
Why don't you just the Android SDK??, it comes bundled with a tool to take screenshots amongst other things.
Google android SDK screenshots, I'm sure you'll find an easy guide in the first results.
I know that and have SDK installed since i have the phone (July, this year). But, as i´ve said before, i don´t like to connect the phone for just take a capture screen. Was not needed on 1.6, wanna know what happened on 2.1 with this.
cant capture screnn by any application
Application ShootMe takes screenshots by either shouting on phone, or by shaking. Though for me screens were weird, but you might get lucky.

Nope, that´s one of the half dozens apps i´ve tried, and it fails.
I´m thinking on Sony as a "guilty", don´t know what they´ve changed, maybe LCD density or something similar...
Same problem for me. I've tried to take screenshot with DDMS and drocap2 but I always get a fuzzy image...

[Q] Web pages will not load or load properly

Hello,
I have been looking for help on this matter. Regardless the browser I use, certain web pages will not load. For example, when I type www.space.com I get a 404 error.
When I use MLB at Bat 2013, and switch for the standings page, I get an error that says wap.mlb.com is not available. Some other web pages, after I login they get me back to the starting page without login in.
I Read at another thread that someone recommended using a VPN. Luckily I have one. I connected to the VPN and then, voila! Problem solved.
I do not want to use the VPN, I used to be able to browse without a VPN with no problems. I do not know what happened.
Sometimes I have noticed in the address bar of the browser after I typed in an URL, that IT gets all wrong. For example, I Type www.space.com, hit enter and the address bar reads, http://www.space.comhttp://space.com
I have unsinstalled the browsers, clean the cache and data for them....
Anyone that could shed some light on this?
I will appreciate It.

I just clicked on the link (www.space.com) in your post and my browser connected immediately with no problem. Are you sure it's the Tablet Z that's causing the problem, not the router?
I'm using a custom ROM (PAC) with the stock Android (AOSP) browser.
Hello,
I read about router issues in another thread. The thing is, when I use the VPN I configured in the tablet settings, everything works fine, I mean, web pages load with no problem. I just do not understand this behavior. My wife has a Samsung note 8 and she browses the web with no problems.

This doesn't sound like a tablet problem, it sounds like an app or OS problem. My tab works just fine and apart from you, I haven't seen anyone else having problems loading web pages.
While it will suck to reload everything on your tablet, I'd recommend that you reset the tab back to factory condition. The first thing you do after that is to check that you can surf to the site(s) that are causing you problems. If everything is working ok, then one at a time, start re-installing all your apps checking after every two or three apps to make sure the problem hasn't returned.
If your tab was rooted, do that last after everything else is installed and working.
You don't include a lot of info on what version of android you are running, what version of tablet you have. Without much more info, it's difficult to narrow down possible causes for your problem. If you have a sgp321, do you have the same problem surfing while using your cell carrier? If your tab is wifi only, then this is definitely a software environment problem or your router has lost its mind. If no problems on any other connected devices on your LAN, it pretty much has to be a tablet software issue.
I assume you haven't been screwing with the bootloader or the kernel have you?
Good luck.
I did have WIFI issues with the custom roms (Pacman and AOKP) as well. Went back to Sony 4.1.2 and it's solved.
Hoping for an UI mod for the 4.2.2 now.

As dph3055 says, people can't help when you've not supplied some basic info - although I see from your signature you've got a 311.
Also, what happens on any other wifi router ? have you tried another one?
Thank you, Guys. I decided to backup the Tablet Z with Titanium and then I peformed a hard reset. Now the issue is gone.
Browsers back to normal. Yes, I forgot to add information about the tablet. For the recored in case somebody else encohnters this weird problem, I have the tablet Z 16 GB only WiFi, I am rooted but I have not unlocked it. I recently upgraded to Sony's update 4.2.2
I have not installed any custom roms nor kernels. Since I have not unlocked I never messed with the bootloader.
Im gonna see how the tablet performs and if I get stuck into same behavior will report back.

Hi Sax---101. I have the same model as yours & am having similar issue. Did you update to 4.2.2 before or after you did the hard reset? I just came from the Sony store & rep said issue would be corrected just by updating to 4.2.2. I don't want to update to 4.2.2 because of the major change to the user interface; I've been reading that hardly anybody likes it (including the Sony rep). I can't get the WatchEspn app to work without the update. He told me to check on xda forum for way to bypass the update (with a sideload just for this issue?), but I can't find it.
So.....did you update before or after hard reset?
Everybody else: Is there a way to correct the issue so I can get all the ESPN channels, WITHOUT the update?
aajj99,
As far as I know, this website display problem that you and one other person are experiencing has nothing to do with the firmware on the XTZ.
I am currently running .136 and have no issues with website display. The problem is related to the the apps & OS environment you have created since you began using your tab. A reset will fix the problem until you do something to break it again.
You don't need to upgrade firmware to fix this issue.

Issues after upgrading to Stock 4.2.1

I finally took the courage (putting aside fears of bricking the phone) and decided to upgrade my Canvas HD to 4.2.1 all by myself .
So I went through a few tutorials on here and realised they are more or less the same, and decided to use this one.
I did get the device upgraded, but not before going through some troubles.
Firstly, the SP tools wouldn't stay stuck at 0% even after clicking download and connecting the device.
(Turned out I needed to install the MTK Vcom drivers.(I had already installed the Mobistel Cynus T1 Drivers).
And after that, to my horror, even the TP upgrade it seemed had failed .
Was showing a message saying 'TP Upgrade failed' or something similar.
The OK button wouldn't work either. (NO, I didn't touch the phone while TP Upgrade was in progress. Left it alone for a good half an hour)
Removed and battery and put it again and booted up the phone. (I was bracing my self for a touch-less phone, as reported by a few others.)
To my surprise, the touch was working, and the OS was updated to 4.2.1.
However, I'm not a 100% satisfied with the upgrade.
The colors and clarity of the screen seem a little off.
And I even see a set of blurry pixels just below the notification bar. (I only see this when I am on the homescreen. When I open the app drawer, they go away)
Also, I've set swipe as the lock screen protection. Previously it used to have 3 icons - camera, google now and of course unlock.
But now only the unlock icon is there. (attached screen)
Can anyone help me out here. Has my upgrade gone wrong somehow?
Has anyone faced similar issues?
Should I re-do the process? I'm worried about the TP Upgrade ruining my phone.

the face that you're able to use the phone normally now shows that TP upgrade has already completed good. the lockscreen of android 4.2 shows only the unlock ring by default. it doesn't show others. so it's all working fine. you don't need to worry about any of it, unless your apps start crashing. regarding the colors, you say it becomes normal when the app drawer is opened, which means it's not really a problem. stock wallpapers are not that good. try changing the wallpapers.
The issue related to colours is persistent, i.e. it doesn't go away after I open the app drawer.
You can see the screenshots I posted in reply to this thread.
The colours were definitely not like this before the upgrade. Something is definitely wrong.
I don't know if it is due to some new economical backlight features added by micromax, but turning that off doesn't help either.
I even installed the MIUI rom by ahishek kumar, and that doesn't seem to solve the problem either.
I would definitely like to revert all of this and then let the mmx service centre take care of this.
Do you know how would I do that? I guess I can revert to the backup taken using CWM before installing MIUI, but how to downgrade to 4.1.2 then?

Try re-flashing the stock rom and maybe this time you wont get a tp update and your device will work just fine

Need some advice around malware/viruses on android

Hello,
I've been looking around for an application that tracks application installs.
Especially for malware installs.
Let me explain the situation:
I've got a smartphone with installed apks (all legal from the playstore)
After a while I am trying to find out what problems are causing some random ad popups (about dating for those who are interested) it's caused by an apk called recents.
I always delete that program. But it seems that it reinstalls itself, every now and than.
also since today I've got an shortcut on my main screen that is called coobrowser (not coolbrowser although it has the same icon image, tried to find out where it came from but I can't find an apk either)
I know some applications:
os monitor is a good one though it doesn't accomplish my needs. (I can see the connections but there it stops)
Catlog doesn't make me any wiser
I hope someone know what I'm talking about and has this kind of application in reach.
TLDR: In need of an application install tracker that monitors which applications open a port for another application install (read malware)
I have the same issue with my phone.
When I clicked app info it turned out to be called trebuchet.
What type of phone do you have?
Yes exactly that's what I get too,
Jiayu S3
That is built into their os. It is made to reinstall if it detects it is Uninstalled. It's not an app that is doing it but the OEM of the device. It is known that many of the Chinese devices do this to counter the cheap prices of the device. Your only option would be to build an aosp based rom if you can.

I've got the same phone and the same issue started to appear recently. First the "recents" app, now the "coobrowser". The orginal Trebuchet icon is gone. Not sure if this is a virus or feature from JiaYu. How to tacke this without crafting my own ROM as mentioned?

Yeah I've managed to remove recents (since this was causing random ad popups)
I've got the exact same problem. Just want to know how to track it down
I can't see any other option than installing a different ROM, because the stock one is strange regarding security. For example every reboot resets "install apk from unknown sources " to YES, which is fishy. Bye bye stock rom, I liked it at the beginning but with these issues I am forced to switch.

I've just noticed they have published the official rom for android 5.1 http://www.needrom.com/download/17-09-android-5-1-for-the-jiayu-s3/
I decided to avoid the official ROM as the problems I experienced were with the previous official ROM. I went for the "rom-xtreme-rom-tf"
So far so good, but don't you try to uninstall the Google Now app from android 5, I was unable to boot doing so.
