Help me about Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman?

Hello friends,
I'm new to this forum and also to Android phones just have a rough idea about it. Now I've just bought a new SE LWW and upgraded to Android 4.0.4 from 2.3.4 using Sony PC Companion. But when I opened bluetooth tab for the first and tried to change the Device name I was unable because I was not able to see any tab of "Change Device Name" (I've turned ON Bluetooth), so anyone can please explain me how can I change Bluetooth Device name?
And also What are the benefits of Rooting? Should I root my phone (I've fear of Bricking)? If yes how should I root my SE LWW Android-4.0.4? Also can I unroot my phone back? How? Also please give every detail in brief! Hope so the members will help me to the extent.
Thanks,
Charizard.

Somebody please help me!:crying::crying:

Try asking Google?? Or look around forums maybe even ask somone who is in the Sony forums they more likely to know

Don't try to root if warranty matters to you. Also remember that a failed rooting effort can brick your device. Rooting benefits are:
Installing root specific apps
Installing clockwork recovery mod
Changing OS and ROM of your device.

I have lww too my friend.
For rename Bluetooth in 4.0.4 you have to go to settings and Bluetooth and touch menu ( that's a touchable button near home button in down of you phone ) and now you can see : Rename my Device ! Enjoy !
.......
But about rooting.
You must downgrade ( by flashtools ) your phone to 2.3 and root it and now again upgrade to 4.0.4 and now you can root this phone.
You can root your phone by flashtools.
Download it ( flashtools )
You can install custom rom by it....
And do very things! And enjoy...

Thanks a lot saeed74 but i think I should not root!!!

That very not true..
U will void a warranty on a sony by unlocking the bootloader..as u got to do it officially and they have the info in their server. Rooting however, would not as they won't know if u ever did it. Just flash it with stock rom before sending it.
2011 Xperia has some limitations than can only be solve by root.
1)link2sd to solve the low internet memory
2)swap, to maybe help with the low ram
3)uninstalling bloatware
4) install 2012 Xperias apps like walkman
Xtra reason
1) stop seeing advertisement
2) use vpn to safe some data quota

[Q] Root for Lava Xolo A700

I've been searching the whole internet for support of this device. It runs on android 4.0.4 and the stock rom is almost not modified the company. Currently, it would be great if someone posted a way to root this device. And later on make custom roms and all. Here's a quick spec of this phone:
1GHz dual core processor, 512MB Ram - MT6577 chipset
4.5 inch IPS Capactive touch Display - 960 x 540 pixels 16M
5MP Camera
4GB inbuilt storage
3G / Wi-Fi
GPS
So please, anyone out there. It would be more than appreciated if you help us folks with this device and root it. Thank you so much.

I also use this phone. Can't get support anywhere. You can try method listed here->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
seems to be working on xolo a800. So maybe work on This phone too. Not too much difference in two phones in terms of hardware.

I have successfully rooted mine using this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
It may not work at first so keep trying. I also bricked mine soon after rooting it, it was because I installed beats audio drivers most probably which worked at first but then device stuck in a boot loop. I highly suspect that it was because of beats drivers because I monitored the debug logs while the device booting and it always get stuck while loading sound drivers. I had to send it to xolo service center to get it fixed. So just be careful with your handset.
Anyway, why do you want to root it? I did it because I wanted to change user interface font.

Thanks

Thanks. I also successfully rooted using that method. I supercharged it and ran die hard battery script. Now it's much faster and has a longer battery life
EDIT: btw, did you have any problems installing the drivers? I did for a bit, but somehow worked out in the end. And do you know if we can get JB on this device?

What do you mean by supercharging and Die-hard script? Links please, it will be awesome if I can have better battery life.
Beats audio installation was successful, phone worked for few hours after that but then it got stuck in boot loop while restarting. Most probably I did something else too to which caused the problem. Glad it worked for you, I didn't feel much difference with Beats audio so it isn't worth risk doing it again for me. I rooted my xolo again after replying to this thread, I was thinking of doing it for sometime.
Also we won't be getting jb on it for sometime, lava hasn't release a jb phone for Mediatek processors which xolo a700 has. Chances of someone creating a custom rom for this handset is also quite low as it is not very popular.

We need to create a JB rom for this device and check out the performance as the battery is very bad in mine..

Hey Everyone
Hii,
I also own this device. I am facing the following problems on this phone:
1. Overheating near the rear camera especially while charging.
2. Charging takes over 7-8 hours.
3. There is a slight time lag in taking photos. I mean u touch the screen button/physical button and the shutter closes a split second late.
4. Very very bad battery backup. in 7 hours it is dead. 1 hr call. 2g on . 1 hour surfing.
5. Keyboard doesn’t register the right keys whil using whatsapp/gmail etc. Works perfect in sms compose.
I have used MMX A110 Canvas 2 and had none of the above issues. Overall very good build quality. Looks classy. Screen is very crisp and vivid.
Stock rom is absolutely vanilla. No G talk and Gmail apps in factory setting ( found that odd). Had to download apks.
I have been able to root. Looking for CWM recovery so that a complete rom backup can be taken ( Any help is appreciated)
Anyone who can help??

It takes at most 3 hrs to charge mine, your phone or your charger has some problem.

I don't feel that my xolo's camera is any slower than most of other android phone I have used, lag maybe because of auto-focus doing its work.

Battery backup certainly isn't very good, mine lasts for a day on moderate use. Its certainly not so bad as yours.

Try using another keyboard application. I am using Kii Keyboard.
In light of so many of your problems with this set, you might have a faulty handset, try to get a replacement or get it serviced.

JB ROM on its way.. can be made
Hi
Xolo just release the Jelly Bean version on the same hardware on Xolo A1000. This is mostly the same hardware.. only the screen is bigger and the camera is 8MP shooter with a BSI sensor.
In my opinion, if some one can get hold of that original ROM it would be easily tweeked to run on the xolo a700 and a800 which currently runs on ICS.

Since you have an A1000 would you be able to post the stock boot.img of your A1000? That would help us to safely port the A700 and A800 to the Jelly Bean.

I already tried that method..not working..

Google pdanet and install it. Then connect your phone and hopefully your phone will be recognised this time. If not restart pc as well as phone and then connect it, also remember to keep usb debugging on.

[Q] Making my J faster

I got a Xperia J for my son.
In first the phone was easy to use.
Now it is as slow as a phone of 4 years old.
I am looking for a rom that makes the phone faster and maby pretyer to look at.
If i am looking in the sections of the roms i don't know with one i must pick.This because i never flashed a phone before.
That means i don't know if i can go into recovery right away. Maby i must do something before i can do that??
Can someone help me by telling me how to flash my phone with a new rom and off course with rom to choose.
This because i don't know with one.Not every rom is compatible with the J.
Thanks for your time to help this beginner/noob hahahaha

1. Factory reset + clear all
2. Just do root
3. Boost my xperia + pimp my rom
Do this 3 first. If still slow, then unlock bootloader and find rom.
Sony Xperia Tipo ST21i

Can you tell me how i must do a root?
I can't find the right way.
Sorry but i am new at this.

You can use unlockroot, or ishuaji_root, or 360
shouji root. Only unlockroot is in english, the others are in chinese. You can also just search inside xda for the other method.

Before you flash a custom Rom I would like to recommend that you try this and see how it works : https://www.box.com/s/6oe7hg5yfweb642ovk86 . Just install it, place the phone on a flat and stable surface( like a table) and calibrate.
It worked like magic for me. I had serious problems with the lag and after I tried this little apk everything works flawless. I don't even recognize my J.

It's a simple touch screen calibration app.
Try it and see if it's what you are looking for.

It doesnt work a lot on my J.
So i think i must install a custom rom.
But with one is simpel to install?
I have NEVER done a root of flash a rom.
If someone can tell me or hase a howto please let me know.
Also if you know what a good working rom (without bugs) is , also let me know!

I'm also a newbie,but in Sony phones recovery does not come pre installed.you will have to install CWM for that..since xperia j is an old model,there would be many options for you...think of rooting and installing clock workmod(CWM).and from there u can do something...
Thank me if I helped you..

Hi @DAIDALUS0084,
Wow that unfortunate! You could try to follow the steps mentioned in this thread otherwise I would think you need a Riffbox / Jtag.
You could also send it to the store and ask them to repair it, they would most likely just replace the board, it will be costly.
Hope you get it working!
Cheers!
