[Q] Xperia S in call keyboard problem - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hello, i've just noticed my in call keyboard is broken, maybe someone know a fix for this one. I'm attaching a photo, cause i couldn't make a screenshoot. As you can see, in call keyboard keys are messed up.
I'm using stock 4.0.4, 6.1.A.2.45, only changed kernel (but that issue did not show after flashing new kernel) and removed some stock apps (i think the issue i'm writing about did not show after removing apps either). i'm using stock dialer and dialer keyboard works fine.
Any ideas ?

Hello,
have you tried to update your phone ?
Or, would you want the Phonebook.apk stock (work great in my XS) ?

LOL! This problem occurs usually when you edit the framework...... I installed a different framework on 45 to get notification buttons and my keyboard turned like yours! I changed back to the original framework and the problem gone!

Thanks for all replys, i've checked the thread from Hackberrybold reply, and it's interesting, cause fix in that thread is just SemcPhone.apk app packed in zip. I did try to fix my problem with original SemcPhone.apk, but when i copied just that .apk from my backup my phone app stopped working at all And after restart whole gsm communication stopped working So i had to do a restore from backup. Now everything is ok. If that happens again i will try to fix with that zip.
Thanks again for help!

gtalk not working in *seems to be official OTA* ROM

is anyone else experiencing this issue? I'm running the *Seems to be official OTA* rom with the kingKlink bfs kernel and the latest radio.. did a full data/cache/dalvik wipe before updating also. everything else seems to be working well except for gtalk..
You could try going into Manage Applications for Google Talk Service and clear the data. I know this has fixed issues I had with Gmail and playing with different ROMs.
sorry, forgot to put that in the original post. I already tried this.. still nothing.. thanks tho! anyone else??
Works fine for me.
I just can't figure out how to switch accounts.

Talk works for me on virtuous 2.0 which is the same Rom just deodexed..
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I have not tried talk yet but dunno thung is teeter won't work for me. F/c in version 1 deodex
Going to try version 2 from that thread now.
ok, now it's not working on any rom.. i've gone back to nandroid backups, i've done full wipes, loaded other roms, loaded stock rom backups.. etc... what the hell is the problem! gtalk doesn't work at all anywhere now
I just did the leaked RUU, haven't even rooted yet. Everything else is completely stock. GTalk and Teeter work perfectly for me.
ok, so it's looking like it's just me.. would anyone mind putting a link to the talk apk up for me so i can try to reinstall please?

I would contact Google, seems more like an account issue, like some sort of automated system is preventing msgs from pushing to your device.
It works from gmail and the pc client right?

ok, new symptom... my mms isn't working also.. not sure about sending, but definatly cant' recieve.. i get the download option, but the mms picture never actually downloads..
I've been using a ROM based on the OTA since yesterday. Also with the BFS #1 Kernel and 2.15 radio.
My gtalk, mms, and well, everything works perfectly.
Where did you download the ROM from? Double check the MD5 (I think properties in windows, or astro file manager can tell you this). Maybe the file was corrupted.
derickmc had a similar problem and then it just decided to work again. Perhaps it's something google is messing with and it just happens to affect you.
since you loaded as a rom, did you update the radio also? my GPS wasn't working after the update, that's what the cause was.
i checked the md5 and it matched, so it's a good download.. also checked the md5 after copying it to my sd card, so thats fine.. the mms issue has cleared itself up, no clue how that happened, but o-well.. still can't use gtalk, and i've realized that i also can't run fix permissions in rom manager.

[Q] Call history problem

Hi there!
I have a very annoying problem and I'm trying to fix it for a week but nothing changed:S
So... my problem is that when I call/am called somebody/by someone, the person turns up in the Call history of course. But when I lock my screen, and then unlock it... the call history clears:S
I used the virtuous unity rom since now and I suspected it for the problem, but didn't want to change so I tried everything... backup, reset, restore backup...etc.
Nothing changed so I tried another rom... the Android revolution... but the problem is the same:/
Could you solve this issue for me plz?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
I still couldn't find the solution
Please someone help me, if you know the solution!
There are still nobody who can help me?
Sounds like an overzealous privacy app. Try flashing a ROM and don't install any app and see if the problem persists or not.

I had a similar problem. Try accesing your call history via the app drawer.
If that's ok delete the shortcut on your desktop and then add it again.
Hope this helps

I've tried that and the problem is not exist for a long time... but after that it randomly occurs...
The strange thing is that sometimes it works correctly... eg: when I add a new contact, or clear the call history... but these things only worked once, my call history worked fine and then I got the error again, and after that these "methods" didn't work again:/

Thanks, but that didn't work:/
Had a similar problem once (annoying as hell)
here is how I fixed this maybe different for you but you can try...
CWM Recovery (any)
Erase All User Data (Format User Data)
Wipe Data
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
and then I used FULL WIPE 1.3
then install any ROM
No more call history bug, worked for me see if it works for you
Thank you very much, but unfortunately that didn't work either
It acts as usual... fresh rom, the call history works well, and then all of a sudden it's broken:S
What ROM are you using and are you using the Recommended Radio???
Virtuous Unity 1.31 with the recommended radio flashed with UMT
Temp solutions to that...

I have that problem also after a stock rom update.
But when you typ in a number and clear it, then you'll see the call history again.
For me this is a temp solution.
For me, it's unfortunately not

[Q] Taking Screenhots

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is some easy way to take screenshots.
Other Samsung devices have a shortcut for this: http://opensourcehacker.com/2011/02...g-galaxy-s-and-other-samsung-android-devices/
The Glide seems not to have.
So is there any other way? E.g. by defining some app in "Settings > Applications > Quick launch" ?
Or is "Screenshot" an app, removed in OsiMood-Rom?
I use the 'Home + Power key' combo to take screenshots. No special apps installed. Screenshots are saved in the 'ScreenCapture' folder.
mhh ok... my glide seems to recognize this home+power shortcut but it throws me an error:
The application com.sec.android.app.screencapture has stopped unexpectedly
:-/
Sorry for your trouble. I've soft-bricked my phone several times tooling with apps I shouldn't have and such, and I am rooted on the Craniam OC Kernel and the stock rooted ROM, but I've never had issues with screen capture working. I don't know how extensive your mods are, but is it possible some app manager is freezing some component of the system that screen capture needs? Shot in the dark but I hope you get answers.

if you have OsiMood or INC3PTION, you wont be able to use the HOME + POWER for screenshots for it is considered to be a bloatware so removed....you can search the Glide forums for the screenshot.apk found in stock ROM.
Errrr....just take the attached file and put it in /system/app
^^^^^
Thanks and any precautions like say giving permissions while placing in that folder??? Thanks again...
UPDATE:-
Done and is working perfectly... Thanks... Just use the "mount RW" option when copying that attached file to /system/app folder... No need to change the permissions.... Thanks a lot again...

Oh yeah sorry, forgot to metion that you need system to be writable (RW). About permissions, just give it full (rwxrwxrwx), Android will change and give it the right permissions after a reboot....

Hi there - I am on OsiMood and have replaced the existing file with the attached one - but it's still not working for me. I get the "...has stopped unexpectedly".

Hi - thanks for your response, but I'd really just like the stock screenshot app; it worked just fine and is free. Why can't I use it?

Sorry don't know was just recommending an alternative that works for me. Also I like that it is not always running in the background and only launch it when I need it, unlike the stock one that is always running.

CM10-nozomi issues

Hi.
installed FXP214 CM 10 and i have a couple of issues.
1.The illumination bar doesn't work.I tried all things,only thing that worked was installing the receiver apk and after i did that,it blinks,it doesn't slowly fade and it doesn't vibrate anymore.
2.Can't install anything,i tried installing a new lockscreen apk,did all the things i did with other roms(and worked on all of them) but on cm10 it won't install it. Same with installing new keyboards and many other apk and zips. It misses a lot of libraries.
3.The keyboard.If you're using english(US) the gestures work but if you chose any other language it won't work.
I rly want to make those work,it's one of the fastest roms for xperia s and has a great level of costumization but those issues really stink..and clearly it's something wrong since all other roms allow those changes.
Any way of fixing them ? Thanks in advance !

This is the rom I used: Cyanogen 10 FXP214 ( https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-r7KTvfNB-XZWt1Rkd1eVdoNXM/edit )
◦Wipe User Data
◦Wipe Cache
◦Advanced => Wipe Dalvick Cache
◦Mounts and Storage => Format System
Then install the system it should work.
also View attachment Increase_Brightness.zip This will fix brightness issue, and you need to install GAPPS also ( http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip )
Good luck
Hmm i installed it right,i did all that you said,you might have misunderstood me.
I can install apps,just that some,installed via moving to system/apps won't work.
I did all that,tried all ways and it still doesn't work.

Are you sure that you are still ROOT? Maybe something is wrong with the ZIP achieve.
I'd try reflashing the phone with flashtool back to stock firmware .55 I have tool for rooting the .55 if you want. And from .55 with recovery try installing CM10 again.

Of course it is rooted.Some said i can't install the unlock.apk because there's no such thing on CM10.
Another problem : my original headphones work but my Triton headphones don't anymore.They worked on the stock rom and KA Speed but not on CM10.

Some apps need different framework and other files rather than just the apk in system/app. For example, the walkman app from stock Sony ROM won't work on cm by just installing or moving apk to system/app because other modifications are needed to be done to get that working on cm.
How can i set the minimum brightness level on fxp228 to the lowest.
The minimum is now 20 and i just can adjust the maximum brightness in /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight.
Can someone help me?
And I don't want to enable auto brightness or use apps I want to modify build.prob or some data where it is written.

If it doesn't work you just can wipe cache

unfortunately, gallery stopped working when using "capture picture" via messaging

unfortunately, gallery stopped working when using "capture picture" via messaging
When using the stock messaging app, if I use the "capture picture" option, it allows me to take a picture, but when I hit the check mark to select the picture, it closes with the unfortunately, gallery has stopped working message. This only happens on the messaging app. Works fine with hangouts and other apps. Its also the stock camera.
I am on 4.3, but I have restored my 4.2 and same thing. It worked last weekend and maybe monday, but yesterday and today, its done working.
Ive cleared cache's and data and same thing.
Any ideas on what may be causing this and what can fix it?
Im on the unofficial CM10.2 and it just worked for me. So I have no idea. Maybe its the gallery app thats included in the gapps package you use.

gapps was built into shiny rom, nobody else had the issue either. Im throwing on FTL right now to see if that does anything. I'm at a total loss on what the issue is. I reverted to 4.2 and I know it was working there and now its not.
When restoring from recovery using cwm, what files or directories does not get changed?

I have no idea then if no one else using that ROM had no issues either. If you are the only one having that issue then it makes it even harder to figure out. And I'm not sure how recovering a backup works exactly. I always thought it pretty much wiped the whole system and flashed the backup.

Yup, only one. There are a handful of S3 users that have a similar issue as well but so far, i think I'm the only GN.
I was under the impression of a recovery backup/restore was a mirror image of what was backed up too, but there is something that isnt. The problem seeped into my perfect backup somehow.
