[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick1103:
Ok that makes sense, is there just the one speaker on the device?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
Speaker on the side and earphone at the front top, just like pretty much every other phone. Speaker is pretty decent too.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick1103:
Well I hope it's pretty loud, as I have a Note 2 at the moment and that is really loud.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
It won't be as loud as Note 2. It's waterproof - this means it has to block some fair amount of sound along with water.

Anyway, i'm sure there will be a way to use the power button as a physical camera button - but probably only with root access etc. There's a power shutter option in CM and it works great.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick1103:
As long as it's fairly decent I'll be happy... but I will no doubt root it for the camera mod, that would be awesome. The power of button looks like it should be the camera button to me, right location.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AayushDhuria:
With a little camera mode, one could easily make power button as shutter ;) using apktool
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garychencool:
I still find it sad that the Xperia Z doesn't have a camera button but the Xperia ZL does. Same camera, same screen, same specs overall, same-ish size but not waterproof.

Sony is probably the last phone maker that puts dedicated camera buttons on their phones, and I like that. Every other phone maker puts it on screen, or uses the volume up button instead. I want a dedicated camera button. My phone has it and I enjoy using it. I think Sony is sticking with those photographers because of the physical camera buttons.

Yay Sony!

I was also wondering if it the Xperia Z had a camera button or not, after checking out many photos, it doesn't. But I didn't see it on the Xperia ZL until today.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redThd:
Has anyone seen a mod that makes the volume rocker become a shutter button when in camera app? That would be very helpful.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
Then how would you zoom in and out? :eek::confused::eek:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AayushDhuria:
Pinch in/out. And zoom is basically digital zoom which is like cropping and enlarging (useless). Anyways you can use ANY physical button as shutter, you just need to modify Camera apk using apktool. I bet some genius guy will do it, if not then i'll give it a shot.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick1103:
Snap, I find it sad too that this phone will not have a dedicated camera button after Sony have had them on previous phones.....but at least there is a mod as AayushDhuria has pointed out...so I will be using that mod for sure!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redThd:
Don't use digital zoom. Instead cut the photo on your PC.

After a few weeks of going in and out of many forums including xda and failing to find a confirmed guide for SU640 that would work, I have finally come up with a guide of my own.

Thanks to xda developers community.

I am using some tools that i have downloaded from multiple threads on XDA but I don't have the links / names . So feel free to link me to your post if that tool belongs to you and I will add your name in acknowledgements.

guide can be found at wiredsoup.blogspot.com

Moderators:

if xda policy doesnt allow linking to external sites for tutorials, please inform me and I'll copy paste the tutorial here.

Have fun Su640 folks :)
[LG Nitro HD] X96:
I tried that procedure in that site mentioned above.

When I press Start Upgrade, it says "Checking for New LGMobile update programe" and this keeps on coming again and again and again.

Nothing seems to happen.

What do i do now?
[LG Nitro HD] salimbaba:
Add the following line to the end of C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com
[LG Nitro HD] X96:
I added that line to the host file, still gave the same problem.

So I tried to flash using KDZ FW Update tool but it always stops responding.

It says "UP MarvinTest something somethings has stopped responding"

I tried this on 2 different computers and still the same.

Any solutions?
[LG Nitro HD] salimbaba:
maybe you saved your hosts file as a text file ... make sure your hosts file does not have any extension.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] laloutre:
Hi,

had anybody changed his Screen on a A700 ?

I can't find any guide and I'd prefer to prepare it before disassemblying it.

My screen have been broken, but the LCD is ok, then I'm buying just a digitizer.

If you have any clue or hint to provide, thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Hi laloutre!

That sucks to hear.

Fortunately, I did some research and found the thing you'd want.

On this page you'll find a video in which is explained on how to open up the tablet in big steps.

In the service guide you'll find a complete teardown specifically for the

A700

, starting at page 5-5.

You can download the service guide from a nice guy who didn't mind to upload it, so please thank him:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29643591&postcount=6

When you are done replacing the thing, I'd be happy to hear how it went.

Good luck!

Edit:

------ Removed content: ------

I tried to find such a guide, but there are not so many good resources out there.

Since the A510 is practically the same, but with a less awesome screen (I wonder if you could change the screen of the A510 to a 1900x1200 screen (A700's screen)), you could use that guide to change it.

I read that the LCD and digitalizer are sticked to each other:

(Source: click here)

Of course, this might be different on the A700, but I don't expect it to be.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] laloutre:
Thanks for the input.

Your last point scares me but I keep some hope as the front screen is sold separately.

For now I'm waiting a few weeks I guess because the screen will come directly from China...

Be sure I'm gonna post my results when the process will be finished.

In the meanwhile, I'm gonna Google again and again...

See ya

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Akatosh:
OK so I just got a gnex as my fourth android device but its the only times I've had issues trying to root.

I know I have to unlock the boot loader using fastboot OEM unlock command but I just get waiting for device when the device is already in fastboot mode. Are there some specific drivers that I need?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raghav@awesome:
You do not need specific drivers as such you just need all the phone drivers....u can get those off xda itself and if u are still unable why not try a toolkit I know most ppl say they are bad but they make your life hell of a lot easier.

«««««««CYANOGENMOD 10.1 and FRANCO KERNEL....HIT THANKS IF I HELPED »»»»»»»»»
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Akatosh:
That's what I am using but I get errors when I use the toolkit from the PC, it boots to boot loader when I try and unlock but then says device not found.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oodie:
First enable Usb debugging in Developer settings .

if you don't see a developer settings option in settings panel goto - about phone & tap build number 7 times or more till you get a toast & go back to settings . you'll see developer settings . Then enable usb debugging .

Power up the Galaxy Nexus toolkit . Reboot into Bootloader . install Drivers from the toolkit .

Then try unlocking the toolkit .

You'll absolutly need to install drivers or the toolkit ( or adb ) won't recognize a device is attached while you are in fastboot ( bootloader ) mode .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Akatosh:
OK yeah I tried the drivers beforehand but no none of them would install properly the procedure never works at the part it asks me to plug the device and and I should be prompted to install drivers then never happens.

I'm on 86bit version of windows 7 if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
you need the universal naked drivers from samsung. install those. you can search and find them.

Turns off data while the phone is asleep. Anyone else think this is going to be a bit af a pointless feature? Surely the single biggest drain on any phone is the screen, background data is relatively insignificant. The other consideration is that every time you wake the phone, won't there be a suddent surge of data transfer while all the disabled apps wake up and reconnect, which will amount to the same battery drain overall?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiffi2011:
W

I'm more curious as to HOW this works. The quote says that data and wifi are turned off. How then are messages and email delivered? Isn't that driven by data? If it works it sounds great but I'm skeptical .
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anirudh.Ragi:
Stamina Mode?

You need to check the video relating to the Stamina Mode during the CES presentation. Except phone calls and SMS all other data will be turned off. But they also have given options to select individual apps that You don't want to turn off :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
I think that if you put any data-enabled app in the whitelist, stamina mode might not turn data connection off as it'll be needed by whitelisted apps - but that's just my guess.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmtruppler:
AW: [Q] Stamina Mode?

Data isn't turned off, Stamina only sends all apps except whitelist to sleep. In that state the apps don't connect and decrease battery.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiFIL:
Its a pretty pointless gimmick to be honest, espically if you don't use data at all, that's my opinion anyway
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raedek:
Sv: [Q] Stamina Mode?

I reckon it's rather intuitive build in feature from Sony. Ofcourse something that you would be able to achieve through root-software, but it shows a desire from Sony to be innovative. Like guest mode on the xperia tablet s. Sony Cooked it in that rom, and now 4.2 will have it in stock Android. Could happen the same with stamina. :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiFIL:
Yes i know, it is good, but the battery is a tad disappointing, for a 1080p phone with 4G i mean cmon
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AayushDhuria:
Root? Nah, checkout Green Power Premium app, it functions pretty much same as Stamina mode and has whitelist too. And yes it does save battery.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiFIL:
Exactly, that's what i mean its pretty pointless with apps like green power about!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanve:
In that respect the camera, dialer, launcher music, email app etc are pointless since multiple variants are available.

It's nothing revolutionary but kind of nice they include it nonetheless
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Please elaborate your statement seems like it doesn't have any sense. Why are camera, dialer, launcher music, email app pointless? And whats with multiple variants? And what does that got to do with stamina mode? Then why nothing revolutionary? I don't see any phone having that feature at all.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanve:
It is a quick reply on the post before it
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redThd:
Mostly though it's a selling point to include it. I would prefer hardware innovation.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanve:
yeah for sure, I guess most people will.

I for one rather have a 720p low power display than a 1080p display. Since most people don't see the difference I'm wondering how many phone generations it will last. ppi seems a bit like the old mhz en MP races.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Czechnolog:
Please, can you recommend me any app that works on the same principle as a real STAMINA MODE?

Most important feature:

"Another really useful functionality, is that you can actually choose to white list your most important apps, allowing them to run in the background even when Battery STAMINA Mode is turned on. This way you will get notifications even when your phone rests in your bag or pocket. This is handy if you still want to be able to receive instant messages or IP calls at any time."

I found many apps in Play Store, but the problem is that they have a "WHITE LIST" feature, but this works on another pronciple - see below.

It does NOT stop any app and background data when the white-listed app is running. :(.

DOES GREENPOWER PREMIUM SUPPORT THIS?

Stop all backround data, stop all other apps and keep only 2 my white-listed apps running (chat + notes)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HunterT:
Here is what I am looking to do:

Backup my Verizon Galaxy S3 exactly as is before I get started with CM10.1. I do not care about any of my data I just want to be able to completely restore Verizon's version of Android (w/ Touchwiz) as if I never attempted to install CM10.1. I do not want to do this because of warranty purposes, but because I might not like CM10.1 and want to go back.

I am not even sure what this kind of backup is called, but I believe it is called backing up the IMEI.

I know there are plenty of guides on how to install CM10.1 on the Verizon Galaxy S3 and there are probably guides on how to backup my original Verizon S3 ROM or whatever it may be called. Please direct me in the right place. As of now my phone is stock from the Verizon store. I was planning on following these instructions http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d2vzw but a video would be nice. Any links to videos or guides to backup and install the latest of latest of CyanogenMod would be helpful! Thanks in advance!

NOTE: Since I don't care about my personal files or app data is there even anything I have to backup? I would like to make this restore process as easy as possible.

Another thing that will clear things up for me sooooo much would be someone listing the normal 3 step process starting from scratch to get my phone ready to start following the instructions in the link I posted above. I haven't been able to find a video that goes through the entire process from scratch.

Ex.

1. Backup (Shouldn't I be downloading ClockWork ROM Manager to backup my current ROM before starting?)

2. Root my phone

3. Phone is ready to install CM

It's at 4.1.1

Mine is at 4.1.1 so I will follow the second link, but what about backing up the IMEI? I understand I can most likely find the latest firmware version online to get back to normal too just worried about the IMEI getting lost.

Is there anything different from the second link that you gave me then there is at the cyanogen mod instructions: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d2vzw because I would like to stick as close to their instructions as possible. They have me download 3 files right off the start, then Heimdall Suite, then Cyanogen Mod and GoogleApps. Does all of that match the tutorial, if something is different it would be great if I knew why. One thing that I noticed is that they use Odin in this tutorial instead of Heimdall Suite, does that matter? Thanks so much for you help so far!
