FAQ
NOTE: I won't answer any Questions posted in Thread, which are answered here.
Before asking anything....
Read trough this Thread, Read this FAQ, Search this thread, Search XDA-DEVELOPERS-FORUM & GOOGLE!
Q 1: After flashing Xperia Ultimate HD my battery life is not good. What can I do?
A: Please charge your battery to 100%, boot your device in ClockworkMod Recovery and go to Advanced ---> Wipe Battery Stats.
Still Problems? Try to deactivate Auto-Sync, 3G Data when you don't use it, and the last thing you can do is, a kernel change // a new battery.
Q 2: I don't like onscreenbuttons // the "home, recent apps and back" key on my screen. How to disable it?
A: Go to Settings > Display > Softkeys, press "disable" and reboot. Now you can enjoy fullscreen!
Q 3: I'm using 2.0 on my phone, how to update to the next version?
A: Download the latest version of xperia ultimate HD and then please boot to clockworkmod recovery and go to advanced > wipe dalvik cache and than wipe cache partition. Now select install zip > choose zip from sdcard > Xperia Ultimate HD xxx.zip. Choose "Upgrade" in AROMA, and wait for the Installation to be finished. Now untick "reboot", go to advanced > fix permissions and reboot to system. The Bootup shold take 1 Minute, +/- related to the apps you have installed.
Q 4: My WiFi doesn't work. What can I do?
A: Flash WiFi Modules for your Kernel. If you are on stock kernel, reflash stock WiFi Modules. If you use Lupus, reflash the kernel and make sure you have a few mb left on the /system partition. If that, doesn't work, reflash the ROM and Check MD5 Sums.
Q 5: My Mobile Internet doesn't work. What should I do?
Download the APNs for your service provider. (Settings > Xperia > Internet)
Q 6: I have strange problems nobody ever had. lol. What can I do?

For restoring your device from bootloop, please restore your CWM Backup, reflash the ROM, OR Reflash Software using Flashtool/Sony Update Service.
