[Q] Xperia E1 Crashing Randomly

Hey guys!
Long time lurker here decided to post something because I wasn't getting much help elsewhere. Also since E1 doesn't have a sub-forum I guessed this would be the place to create the thread.
So the problem with my E1 is that is reboots absolutely randomly for no reason at all - even when I'm not using my phone or doing anything that's resource/hardware intensive.
Have any other E1 user been having this problem? Any ideas what could be causing the problem?
I tried contacting Sony Support but all they could tell me was general stuff like don't stress your phone and install fewer apps on it but that doesn't actually help. So... any ideas?

There is not much you can do actually.
Probably a kernel fault.
Switch to another firmware maybe?

But ummm....

I'm sure that requires the phone to be rooted. And the E1 doesn't have a working root till now at the moment AFAIK. Also am on the latest firmware build from Sony - 20.0.A.1.21 - so I can't go higher than that...

Removing apps won't help.
but you will need a kernel to flash[which requires unlocked bootloader]
As far as I know,random reboots are caused by kernel only.
Btw,you can disable all the unwanted apps. Might help a bit.
Till you get root,only thing you can do is keep messaging sony regarding this.
Also,don't forget to ask them whether you'll be getting updates.

Oh well...

*sigh* I suppose that's all I can do then. I've tried disabling apps and uninstalling unnecessary ones when Sony Support suggested it. Didn't help. Random reboots still occur. I wonder if I'm the only E1 user with this problem or are there others too?

I don't really think that will help.
Because repair should be done when there's damage.
And Xperia E1 has no root,so technically no fiddling with system and hence no damage?

Been there done that

No... I've tried that... and also factory resetting and hard resetting... Uninstalling everything etc etc. Device still randomly reboots. On some days it will run fine 2 days straight and then on some days it'll restart 3 times at the very least.

Definite kernel problem. Roll back to previous update if it helps? ( if you have it, BTW I read somewhere, e1 will be getting 4.4.2 update )

Yes it will. But knowing Sony and the fact that the E1 is quite the budget phone, I doubt updating it to 4.4.2 is at the top of Sony's priority list.
I'm not expecting one until late June or July at the earliest.

[Q] Want to downgrade my M2 d2303 from 4.4 back to 4.3 need correct ftf etc...

Please can someonehelp me out. I have alowed my xperia m2 (d2303) to update from 4.3 to 4.4 which has caused my phone no end of problems.
I am trying to get the ftf so that I can flash it with the original jelly bean that worked so well. Could someone direct me to where I could get this file and some clear instuction on how to do this that even a novice like me can understand.
Many thanks in advance

You seem like you know what your doing so I have a crazy question you might be able to answer
I have recently bought a xperia z2 tablet (SGP511 - 17.1.2.A.0.314) that came with 4.4 kitkat. Do you think it would be possible to put 4.3 on that and if so would you know which one would it have to be?

Thank you
My first android experience was my xperia m2. With a bit of playing about I rooted it (using towelroot), installed super user, xposed, donkey guard and a bunch of other modules. As you can imagine for someone who is a novice and has no clue about coding, flashing, roms, ftf's, bootloaders, fastboots, anything like that. So I was quite pleased with myself that I could block permissons with donkey guard, and the look of my phone with gravity etc....
All was going well when I kept getting a "You have a system update" message telling me that a system update to 4.4 is now availible. So I allow it to install but it wouldn't work. So I figured that its because the phone is rooted, so I did a factory reinstall, flash whateveryou call it using sony pc companion. Once finished I tried to root again using towelroot but that didn't work, so I hunted all over the net to find a way of routing the m2 with 4.4 but wanted to avoid unlocking the bootloader as everything pointed towards that not being a good idea if you don't know what your doing. Nothing that I have found so far I can understand. So thats why I am wanting my old 4.3 back. I Was happy with it, but when I use pc companion to flash, it keeps putting the latest 4.4 software on.
As far as the tablet goes, I bought it a few weeks ago and as you know they come with 4.4 as standard. i quickly found a 1 click root method, rooted the tablet the installed superuser, busybox, then xposed and donkey guard etc.
I activated donkey guard and other modules in xposed and restarted etc.
I found that donkey guard would not work, nor would most of the other modules. One more thing that I found was that whenever I would shut down the tablet it would boot straight back up again and had to use the force off button next to the sd card to turn it off. So I flashed it again and went through the whole procedure again thinking that maybe I hade done something wrong, but got the same result. I did find out though through ellimination that the shut down issue was being caused by donkey guard being active, so if I deactivated it in xposed no more reboots. I thought that theproblem was with donkey guard and went though the donkey guard forum, but later dicovered that other modules are not working too. So I am not sure if the problems the tablet, 4.4 software, xposed, or something totally different, but all I know is that I was happy when everything worked on the m2 with 4.3, hence why the downgrade (if I can do it) of the M2 and not sure what the hell to do with the tablet.
Please let me know your thoughts
All the best

I can't help you with your tablet.
For your phone download 4.3 CE as recommended above, it's a good one. I did that a couple of weeks ago and I will be sticking to it. The main disadvantage is the 4.3 camera.

Get xperifirm. Download any rom you like for your phone to your hearts content. It's really very easy.
Secondly, regarding root for 4.4, has anyone tried rooting on 4.3 then just letting update centre update the phone ota? It has worked for me on every Xperia I've had.

If this rom used the unified kernel for msm8226, then that means D2305 could also be working with it ( RIL will be an important thing to test ). And what do you mean by shutdown not working ? Does it apply to restart too ?

Hahaha nice shot. Thing is - build I released already use unified kernel. Unified as in, works on many devices, not variants (if you took same kernel, flashed it on Z3 it would work).
And by shutdown not working i mean it reboots instead of shutdown.

Oh that, I thought it won't even attempt to reboot. Ok, will flashing this rom in about an hour and let see how this goes
Edit: Flashed it, black screen and vibrating, the same situation as with D2302 users. Btw, can I ask you if D2305 is gonna be in the support list soon

7 hours use

Nice battery life. More expectations from the fully working ROM now @galaxyfreak I still keep track of your github commit, model detection script works now right ?

I think jerplea is not accepting it!

He said that AOSP only supports the single sim LTE model, he didn't say anything about modding it to fit other AOSP-based roms and such

@galaxyfreak is ART run fine on the M2 ? Any downside ?

Whatsapp not notifying

Hi,
recently I've got the P8 Max and installed and updated everything.
Just today I noticed when Whatsapp is closed, I won't receive anything untill I open the app manually.
So no msg, no photo's, nothing, only until I open it. Also have the dotcover and when it's closed, same story.
Has Android 5.1.1 changed so you must keep apps open to receive notifications? The update also have been installed to the latest with B028.
I didn't have this problem when I had the Galaxy S5 with Andriod 4.2.2 or something like that but the latest Kitkat.
And abefore you ask, yes, it is also turned on in Protected apps.

Yes it has to be open in the background!

I see. So Android 5.1.1 has been changed and you have to keep apps for now open unlike Adroid 4.x.x?

Its a Huawei thing cause of its UI aka EMUI, if u delete/freeze the Huaweisystemonitor you get notifications without the app open im background!

And to use Titanium Back, I have to root the phone?
I'm on update B028.

Yes to freeze apps you need root.

I solved this problem whit activate automatic sincronization

a question, I happened upon entering google play, I said it could not be installed on this phone?, I think I detected as tablet and not as mobile, so I had to go down the official website of WhatsApp, but what a pain in the ass, is that you have to synchronize that the battery is sufficiently drained,and I think from my point of view, the only option is to complain Huawei although I sent them emails or have I answered..pero me if we complain a lot I think that will make us case,sorry for my english i am spanish,i nice to meet you everyone in this forum

Already solved by disabling dnd
Anyway, is it possible to change the corner radius for natifications panel? It looks prety odd now

Camera on my device works just fine after a factory reset.
My only problem now is how to remove the cellular signal since i only like to have just both wifi signal and battery only.
i tried hiding the cellular signal using the UI tuner but it seens to not work, any ideas?
Cons: the fact that the stock launcher is only the one who gets integrated in the recents is really bad, try using another custom launcher and the recents just get bad.

I'm in Poland and I just got the update. What's interesting is that I now have battery percentage in the statusbar.
