[Q] Lose GSM signal and does not regain (ACRO S)

Hi there,
I have an Acro S and absolutely love the hardware couldn't wish for any better. :good:
However I have an issue I am struggling with right now. At my workplace I get patchy signal with my carrier (Orange/EE in the UK). I'm ok with this but lately when I go to a part of the building where I lose signal, the phone never recovers signal again, it just shows "Emergency Calls Only" and needs either re-booting or airplane mode on and off again to recover signal.
Is this something anyone else has seen and is it likely to be a software issue or a hardware issue?
I've looked in the settings and I am running software version 6.1.A.2.50 which I think is the latest.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix as my wife is pregnant and I'd hate to miss an important phone call because of this!

In my view, this problem must be connected to which ROM you are using
with refrence to my experience, I get so many issuses like this..
Firmly suggest you change your ROM and try again XD

Thanks for the advice, however I am using the standard Sony ROM and there doesn't appear to be an update available. I'm tempted to root the phone and install one of the ROMs in the development section here but I use the Barclays Mobile app and find it very useful and that won't work on a rooted phone.
Do you have an Acro S if so which ROM are you using?

You can do a Repair using PC Companion...But before you do, backup all your settings/apps in the internal memory as it will factory reset your phone all the way back...So just do full backup using " Backup & Restore " first, then connect to pc and hit Repair using PCC

So via PC companion I have now installed the latest firmware 6.1.A.2.55. Let's see if this fixes it. Hopefully it will otherwise it's a reset and re-install of everything (Painful!)

[Q] Factory Format on Rooted Z1 Compact

Hi, just have a quick question, any help appreciated -
Will a factory format (*2767*3855#) cause any issues on a rooted Z1 Compact with unlocked bootloader running CM11?
Its bit of a weird one, I installed LiquidSmooth rom other day but didnt really get on with it so went back to CM11. I now cannot change the wallpaper which is still that of LiquidSmooth (purple background) & theres no option anywhere to allow me to select the lock screen when I go to change wallpaper and its not anywhere in settings.
I understand I may lose root but should be easy enough to re-do.
Please let me know if I'm looking at this wrong, still new to this, many thanks.

If you want a clean device use the Flashtool to do a full clean wipe, trying to do it in a halfarsed manner can be more time consuming and troublesome in the long run.

Device dead and reboot

Hey guys, first i come from VN and my English is not good. Hope everyone can understand.
My device sometimes stop working then auto reboot. The screen auto off and about 3-4 second the led turn red color and the screen turn on then screen blur little with some blur stripe and it auto boot. It's make me scare :"( do you have same problem and what can we do to stop it?
My device still work ok but sometimes this happen.
Thanks.

Try factory reset, otherwise you need to send the device for repair. I do not have any issue with my Z5 the only issue I had was when my MicroSD card stop working (could not write to it could only read) and my device rebooted and slowed down. I replaced my MicroSD card and everything is great since then.

I'm 99% sure the reason is that you install custom firmware and xposed module, but mess something up... as a result you get a lot of garbage in System UI and Launcher UI settings.
The common reason of reboots is lag in framework which controlls OVERHEATING...device think that CPU temp is critical and reboots.
So if you are scared about this, my advice is to install clean STOCK firmware,
p.s. but installing of xposed module is fixed already and you can find very detailed guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/workaround-bootloops-xposed-lollipop-t3089203

Anybody who is still having any kind of issues, for whatever reason, please do the following:
get into TWRP;
install, in this order, without rebooting:
xposed-uninstall-v1.1.zip
If you don't have an sd card, you'll need to reboot once after the uninstall .zip, boot the system normally, then get back in the recovery and install the other 3. This only applies to people who don't use an SD card
xzdr-busybox-enable-v1.0.zip
xposed-sdk21-arm-date.zip
xposed-leakplug-v1.2.zip
copy the logs to the PC, over USB:
uninstall_xposed.log
install_busybox.log
install_leakplug.log
each of the 3 zip's will tell you where it saved the log (it's usually the external sdcard)
reboot to system
Thanks in advance for not asking any questions about whether you have to do any of these steps; yes, you have to.
Easy
Cheers

i have considered that, and want to avoid that. but i guess no other way then.. thanx fos helping.

I think there is a problem with system partition. So you should system repair by Xperia Companion.
If you have rooted device firstly relock bootloader before system repair otherwise Companion wouldnt accept device to repair.
Or you can flash stock rom by using Flashtool. but be careful about FSC scripts.

They said they've already used Xperia companion and even if you click no on using the fsc script it will refuse to flash

0.9.23.1 is the one that doesn't work 0.9.23.2 works

I could solve it removing the notification site from Chrome, from menu setting Chrome, web site setting, Notifications and bloqued all sites except Google, then the issue will desapire

the problem is that the vendor from china put some crippled stock rom on my phone where they removed the system update service and so i cant do a local update with the phone. my rm 6 telegram group suggested that i install the qcom 9008 usb driver on my pc and boot my phone via adb into qcom 9008 edl mode and use miflash to flash it with a 4.15 unbrick package and if this would work i would have intact system update again and could flash it with a local update with the firmware id like. thanks for the help btw. gotta go out in 5 minutes but be back in a bit. please give me your opinion, i will read it once im back

What you wrote sounds good. Your flashing app is miflash. Download the 4.14 unbrick, and load it into miflash without fone plugged in, power fone OFF, start the miflash, hit download/flash (dont know the actual button to do the damage), then plug turned off fone into usb, miflash should auto find and flash, anything after that, feel free to ask.
Ps you could just jump in the deep end and flash the one you WANT, so that if it fails you'll know if it works or not, and will have tested a rom before flashing your stock back, kinda better than flashing stock first in a way.

thanks for the suggestions! i want to give this a try as soon as i have some time. buthow do i backup my current stock rom in case the new rom wont work? i only know about rom manager app but that needs a rooted phone and mines isnt rooted. is there a way to backup the stock rom without having a rooted device?

Forget backing that up, your already at the stage where you learn if you back this up now, you MAY also back up the problem and have to do it all again, take my advice, keep it simple.
For your 'backup' - download latest official stock from your fone maker.
You may want to revert back AFTER you test the one you want to test.
So test first while it's 'broken' knowing once you go back to stock, it aint broke, dont fix it.

hey there! thanks for your tips, i appreciate it! ok just to clear things up, with "stock" firmware, you mean the official latest chinese firmware from the chinese nubia page, right?

Yup, if thats what you know is your STOCK, ie, not the one you wanna test, but in your scenario, I'd flash the test before stock, this way you gain experience flashing, and if you mess up, then you flash the stock, and learn not to. (again lol)
To clarify, stock is the firmware the fone maker has on their site.
Follow thir instructions, it's easier than you think, as my auld man told me, when testing, write down every step, so you REMEMBER instead of being unsure because I forgot....

ok i got it. thanks for the help! i have the stock ready on my computer. unfortunately i cant flash my phone by following the manufacturers steps because my phone vendor flashed my phone with some custom chinese multi language firmware with google already pre installed. and whoever edited this firmware before flashing it on my new phone, removed the system service that is necessary to launch the "system update" options. therefore i have no way of making a local firmware update in my phone. unfortunately the red magic 6 pro also does not have a local update option in the recovery menu. thats why my only option is flashing the phone with my computer. but in the worst case i will have the latest stock rom on my phone in the end and this will have the system update options intact. thanks again for all the help!
