[Q] Restore data issues. - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently on 14.4.A.0.157, after facing lots of battery drain in this version. I decided to flashing 108 firmware via flashtool. Here is the question. Can I restore 157 data on 108 base by Sony PC companion without any conflicts?

I don't think PC companion will let you, if it does, you may get some apps misbehave and you'll need to reinstall them. It's not generally recommended to mix data from different firmwares.

Weird battery bugs.

Ever since I flashed Arconium ICS 4.0 and KTG kernel, I've been facing extreme battery drains. I fixed these drains by flashing the stock kernel but now the problem is, instead of properly shutting down when the battery is empty, the phone keeps rebooting itself. :/ I tried everything. I even flashed .62 firmware and then doomkernel v22 and arconium 8.2. But I'm still getting these reboots at empty battery. Any help ?
I'd also like to know if anyone uses 1.8 Ghz or above in GB with stability and NO crashes. Even with Antutu benchmark. I used to use 1.8 Ghz before without any problems but now it crashes randomly. :|
Anyone. Please ? I'm getting these problems in stock .431 too. Especially the reboots at 0%. v _v

Wi-Fi and GPS Keep Engaging

I've searched the forum and can't see a solution to this problem.
My wi-fi keeps turning on even though I have switched it off and even if I put the phone in airplane mode, it switches back in.
Also, the GPS constantly tries to engage. The warning pops up which says, "By selecting "Standalone GPS Services", you are enabling access to all location information..." and it has 'disagree' and 'agree' at the end. If I click 'disagree' it goes away then reappears a short time later. If I click 'agree', the GPS goes on.
I have run an virus check which was negative.
I have ICS build 4.1.B.0.587 and it has recently been rooted.
I tried locking wi-fi with some software, but that didn't work.
Any ideas anybody?
if your phone is non-modded (custom kernel, rom etc.) re-install the firmware you're currently using by re-flashing it via flash tool 6 or higher..
if it is modded (root, rom, kernel etc.) re-flash the kernel or change it/re-flash the rom or change it

Thanks MrModMan, I did as you recommended. My phone was rooted, so I downgraded the kernel again (using the LT18i downgrade as I was told that this would be OK on my LT15i by another member), re-rooted using the DooMLorD tool, then flashed the kernel again (using the LT15i ftf for .587 build).
The problem still exists.
I suspected that it may relate to an app which uses GPS/Wi-fi connectivity, maybe Google Maps. I backed up Google maps, then uninstalled using Titanium Backup, but the problem's still there.
Here's an update. I reinstalled the latest version of ICS and have not rooted my phone, The phone is not now reconnecting to wi-fi and the GPS nag screen has stopped appearing, so evidently there is something wrong with the rooting procedure that I used for the .587 build of ICS. I can say that I did follow the procedure outlined on this forum to the letter. Maybe somebody with more technical know-how can determine what the problem is.

[Q] Xperia S freezes randomly

Hi everyone.
I'm having a little problem with my Xperia S, it's kind of new (2 weeks of use).
When I'm using normally the cellphone, everything works great, but if don't use it for a long time and I grab it faster and unlocked it, sometimes the cellphone freezes! Well, not exactly freezing, it still works but VERY slowly, almost like freezing. I can't turn it off with power button, I had to user Power + Volume button to turn it off/restart it.
That happened in first week, so I unlocked bootloader and flash it another kernel (advanced stock kernel), and the problem was there.
Later I made a backup of the firmware (I updated to its last version with PC Companion, ICS btw) and flashed a custom ROM (XTXperience 4), and the problem was still there.
Yesterday I flashed a Generic ICS ROM downloaded from XDA Server using Flashtool, everything went normal until today, when the problem happened again.
I've been searching here in XDA and Google and still nothing seems clear of what is causing the problem, if it's the sim card or maybe a hardware problem. I'm going to relock the bootloader today, and I will try to repair the phone using SUS.
What is causing the cellphone to freeze? Hope someone help me with this. Thanks in advance!
btw, sorry about my english, hope you understand most of what I wrote
Well in my experience,
The phone freezes because it is too hot,
Or the RAM memory suddenly drops.
I mean sudden ur phone's RAM memory is 0.
I'm not sure too.
But I think reflashing the kernel, or flash other kernel will fix the problem
Try it

What ics firmware did you flash? And did you do a complete wipe when flashing?
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
I've flashed other kernel and yes, I do a complete wipe when I flash another ROM, via Flashtool or CWM.
I've been thinking of rolling back to GB to see what happens.
Yesterday my phone freezes like 2 or 3 times in less than 15 minutes. First time I reboot the phone and it was ok like 5 minutes, then it freezes. I reboot again the phone and happened again.
Its not even hot or using a lot of RAM, it always has like 250 or 200mb free
Did u play with CPU settings?

No, this is happening since the first boot of the phone. When I turned it on the first time it happened, and I had to search how to force a reboot because I didn't know how to do it LOL
It doesn't happen very often, but when it does is very frustrating!
Try flashing a new rom, but wipe the system partition too? I always do that to ensure a fully clean install.

I'm thinking in flashing a non based stock rom, like CM or MIUI, because I flashed XTXperience before and the freezing happened.
Oh, and the problem still exists. I believe Wi-Fi connection maybe it's the problem, I'm testing some things right now.
Had this too using Supercharger (by zep) but after few setting it's gone. Maybe you should try to run the script ?
It was with stock rom and advanced kernel v15/16.L
Well, I was on 6.1.A.2.45, I relocked the bootloader and an update changed the firmware to 6.1.A.2.55 using SUS without wiping data and the problem was still there, so I repaired the phone with SUS, it erased everything and the problem was gone for like 2 days. Today it happened again.

Advanced Stock Kernel supports 6.1.A.2.55 firmware?

Well, I Supercharged my ROM now, which setting do you use to fix the problem? I'm still having it.
I even flashed a CM10 based ROM and its still happening! I think it's a hardware problem

Hi, did you manage to solve the problem? I'm having similar issues like you

zuk z2 plus keep restarting

hi all, please help. My zuk z2 plus keep restarting.
When I start it, it just open up the wallpaper and then restarting again and again.
The memory's just fine, still 25GB.
One weird thing is it shows 1/1/1970 for the date.
Is it some kind of bugs or virus?
What should I do? Anybody knows how to solve it?
Thanks in advance
You should try to restore the device back to its original firmware to make it run on factory default software.
Use QPST/QFIL method to flash your stock ROM. In case of Indian/Global Eng, then i guess the Zui 2.0 or 2.5
Refer to this thread for details https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/how-to/guide-lock-bootloader-avail-warranty-t3694883
Make sure to charge the device and your laptop battery fully before proceeding to QPST/QFIL flashing. Device or PC must not lose power or reboot while running the flashing process.
(Warning, QPST method will relock your bootloader while restoring factory default)
Once you are on your stock ROM, check if everything working fine or not. In case things are still not working, there is a high chance that you may be having some hardware issue.
Friend If your phone has already been installed zui 2.5 indiana (then installed the customs roms) Do not need to upgrade (install the Chinese 3.5 by qpst). The basebands do not come out of 1.70x only have one that is different that is 1.76 (mine is zuk z2 + (131) in it I put the zui 2.5 indiana and then went to the customs roms and now I went to the roms with kernel 4.4 without installing zui 3.5
