[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlanza1054:
Hi all,

Has anyone experience some strange quirks after the latest upgrade by Asus.

I'm on 10.4.2, I think that's the version but I am going to include a screenshot of the system page.

So far the main issues are that the live wallpapers are being hidden behind a black background, but they are running. They show up immediately after boot but then get covered up.

The other more important issue is that I am having trouble installing app via manual apk install. And yes, have the setting check to allow for installing from sdcard.

However, I am working around it by: It seems if I attempt to quickly run the installation of the apk immediately after booting it works, if I wait until the system is totally up it won't.

I've considered that I have a virus, but not sure how to check for that.

I also looked at any apps that have anything to do with wallpapers or installation and I can't find anything. I really hate to do a factory reset, especially if the latest upgrade introduced those issues.

Again, I am not rooted and running stock of course.

Thanks!

Rob

If you are serious about considering the virus theory then you can download "Avast! Mobile Security" from the play store and run a virus scan though there :)

I uninstalled my Samsung drivers and installed the Universal Naked Drivers.

When I plug in my Nexus 4, in Device Manager under Portable Devices it says Nexus 4 and under Samsung Android Phone it says Google Nexus 4 ADB Interface.

When I plug in my Nexus 10, in Device Manager under Portable Devices it says Nexus 10 and under Samsung Android Phone it says Google Nexus 4 ADB Interface.

Why is the heading still called Samsung Android Phone for both devices?

Why does it say Google Nexus 4 ADB Interface when the Nexus 10 is plugged in?

My Girlfriend recently had an annoying problem with low system memory on her E400, so I rooted and installed a custom rom.

The problem is that the threads for this phone aren't very well organised at all!

There seems to be a fair bit of development surrounding it, with MIUI-styled roms as well as an official CM9 build in nightly, which is pretty stable currently.

Any chance of a dedicated section to allow easier access to information and posting of questions regarding this phone?

Would help me out a lot :p

Just to clarify, I am referring to the Sony Ericsson E400 (Or Optimus L3)

Quick explanation

Ok so i had the bootloop problem with my Infuse , i fixed it by opening my phone and playing with the power button hardware.

I accidently broke the power button , I looked for hours for a way to turn on my phone with out a power button with no success until i found tried this:

TUTORIAL STARTS HERE

1. Enter Download mode by holding both volume rockers and inserting a USB cable while still holding

2. Get to the screen that asks you if continue with Download Mode or not.

3. Remove USB cable and click the 2nd option.

4. Phone will restart and that's how you turn on a phone with no power button.

Hope it helped some people.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
I think only Samsung uses "Download Mode". LG probably has Fastboot like most other Android devices (Vol-Dn + Pwr). But you can try it - it won't hurt.

EDIT: Finally got an LG device. It does indeed have Download mode (and no Fastboot...Vol-Dn+Pwr brings me to a scaled back bootloader). Don't know if if asks to continue or not, but Download Mode doesn't hurt the phone unless you are potentially flashing software with it.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] drewct:
Hello mate!!! Thanks for the post but i have problems here. First of all my phone (Galaxy Wonder) goes into download mode by pressing volume down + home btn + power button, so i though instead of the volume rockets i had to press volume down + power button and then usb cable. It worked. Got into download mode!!! Then i remove the cable, wait a few seconds and then press down to cancel and restart. Then it happens that the screen shows a grey battery, then it fades out and back in for twice. Then the phone just turns off. Battery is charged! What could be the problem? (I have to say i just completely removed the power button from the motherboard, but keeping the metal things that were around it still soldered on the motherboards.

Any guess???

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eyc:
Is there a way, by default or via app, for me to set different vibration settings for notifications vs. calls?

My problem is that the vibration setting for emails is too long. Each email produces a long, three second vibration. Even if I make a custom short-burst vibration in settings>sound>device vibration, I still get a long vibration for emails. The custom vibration that I created only triggers when I'm getting a call.

So, I guess my question is: Is there some way for me to customize the vibration pattern for notifications?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TD22057:
Try Light Flow.

Pretty sure it allows you to customize both the LED and vibration settings on a per app basis.

Im sure this has been out there somewhere but i have been unable to find something, Im running NexusEvolution 3.0.0 ROM and just upgraded my radio to FF02/FG02. problem is i keep dropping calls, have even before upgrading thats why i upgraded in hopes to fix it. Any ideas what is going on? this is seriously driving me crazy. doesnt matter where i am or who im talking to. When it happens i will look at the signal and its usually down to 1/2 grey bars ( no 3g/4g) or no bars at all then it will jump back up. Please help me figure this out. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
flash a different radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mverzal:
This is the second one what other one would i flash, should be the most up to date one i thought.

Don't tamper with the radio then.

Re-flash the original radio and then go to your dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*.

Go to Phone Information and change the type of signal to whatever you enjoy.

CDMA = LTE Only or w.e

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roninr1c:
Does anyone know yet which of these models(Z/ZL) are coming to the US? And maybe a release date?

:fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
Both will probably be coming to the US, but only unlocked through Sony's own retail channels. If I'm right both sets will work with HSPA+ on AT&T and T-Mobile (so no LTE).

Spectre should have more info on this though.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roninr1c:
No LTE on AT&T is a bit a waste, isn't it?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
The ZL will have LTE but not the Z which will only be HSPA+ (still very fast, I get upto 6.5 Mbps on my Xperia T on at&t on their HSPA+ network).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Not really, considering AT&T's transfer caps.

Even if I had LTE available in my area, I'd take an unlocked HSPA+ device over a carrier-mangled locked-down LTE device without any hesitation.

LTE isn't all it is cracked up to be, once you take into account monthly transfer limitations (Since AT&T now throttles "unlimited" users, there is no such thing as "unlimited" any more.), especially if you have access to HSPA+.

LTE was more critical for Verizon users, since CDMA2000 hit a wall without an upgrade path far earlier than UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ did.

I'm really hoping the rumors that the Z will be sold directly in a timely fashion are going to be true.

The ZL will be available from AT&T as far as I can tell, but that version will suffer from complete lockdown in addition to traditional AT&T firmware mutilation.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Its still up in the air about the Z availability in the US. Hoping its sold directly too.

AT&T isn't picking up the Z or ZL. but both should work on its network.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peaceburn:
:cool:

So till now, AT&T was the only carrier that sold the sony smartphones, with the only exception I think was the playstation phone on verizon.

So the most logical thing for me is Sony to push again through AT&T, because:

1) They already have done business in the past, and have worked out the business side, so it's a safe bet, they might try to work deals with other carriers later through the year to have bigger exposure to the market.

2) It's a flagship phone, Sony will try to get it in the hands of as many people, the comment that it'll be available only full price in retail channels made me laugh :) The situation is so heated, that they'll have to loose ton of money, just to try to snatch some market, to have a chance to stay a player in this market. They surely want to be in this market, why would they make the Z and show it at CES when no other big name was revealing top models - so they grab the spotlight at CES, and the phone doesn't get lost in all the announcements coming in Feb from the mobile congress.

3) AT&T would love to have another strong horse in the race so they are not dependent only on Apple or Samsung for the best devices they offer. For AT&T the bigger portfolio of manufacturers that want to move devices on their network gives them edge on pricing and other deal terms.

So yeah, I can bet money that in couple of weeks, there will be announcement/leak that AT&T will carry a Z/ZL phone, with LTE of course.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
Spectre51 has said it before, AT&T won't be carrying the ZL or Z. The ZL will be sold unlocked through Sony's own retail channels, the Z may be sold unlocked too.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Why? You do realize that you'll save a ****-ton of money if you pay full price but switch to Straight Talk.

Straight Talk: $45/mo plus tax for "unlimited" data (nastygram at 2GB), unlimited text, unlimited voice

AT&T: $70/mo plus tax for 3GB data, no texts, 450 minutes voice (effectively unlimited for most people...)

$25/month delta, $300/year penalty, 2 year contract so $600 cost delta - but you only get $300 off your device at the best case.

AT&T contract subsidy guarantees you'll spend at least $300 more (larger delta if you use any texts, even light usage) for inferior service and an inferior phone, simple as that.
