[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DooMLoRD:
Rooting on locked bootloader is difficult... One needs to hunt for exploit which can happen in 5 mins or can take months...

Relocking bootloader is easy... Just flash a ftf containing correct TA code...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Uhm yeah correct with that one but I was talking about rooting on unlocked bootloaders :)

rooting it while it's locked is an exploit or security flaw so yeah it's hard to do.

Regarding relocking bootloader no idea how to do since my last sony device was unlocked using testpoint and there's no way of relocking it yet at that time.

What I'm interested in at this point is anything with the drm keys. I want that to stay even when the device is unlocked. Do you know by chance where is it stored anyways? Is it on one of the partitions inside the phone or is there a seperate chipset where it is isolately stored? Or is it something like a firmware embedded to a chipset?

It shows me that the battery is 100% i open youtube watch about 2 minutes of videos and the phone turns off. I start it again and right after the boot image it turns off again. I plug in the charger , i turn on the phone , it shows 80%+ battery . If i plug out the cherger the phone turns off.

It's an software problem or the battery is gone?

[Q] Can't root after stock Jelly Bean update - linux/mac adb "Permission Denied"

I previously rooted this same phone, but when sprint pushed jelly bean, it seems to have been unrooted.

I am now following the same steps I used to root ICS, but there is a permissions error:

$ adb devices
List of devices attached
7914f359 device

$ adb push debugfs /data/local
failed to copy 'debugfs' to '/data/local/debugfs': Permission denied

Using linux with adb 1.0.29

I've tried with both PTP and MTP connection types

It seems that others are having the same difficulty. Any news on this front? Is there a workaround?

I assume it is still possible to root by using windows + ODIN, but I do not own a windows computer, and am lacking in time to find a friend's windows computer to use right now. Is there any other way?

Thanks!

[Nokia Lumia 820] whmcal:
Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand the fuss about wireless charging. Why did Nokia choose this function to focus on in their marketing? I cannot understand why no one is commenting on this. Please, if I am wrong, someone correct me on my argument below. I don't actually own a charging plate, so maybe I don't fully GET the benefits of using one. Anyway...

In my opinion, there's very little difference between so-called wireless charging and conventional charging, . You still need a wire. The Fatboy pillow charger etc, needs a wire. That means you are still restricted with regard to your chosen location of charging. There are no less wires. The phone doesn't suddenly charge ten times faster on a charging plate. What is the fuss about. I am all for improvement in technology in terms of enhancement of user experience.

Yes, we hope that one day, tube/ train arm rests, car dashboards or plane seats (for example) might have charging plates built-in, so we can charge whilst we're on the move. However, right now, it really does all seem like a bit of gimmickry
[Nokia Lumia 820] Ikkari:
You can just put your phone down on the plate... and it will charge.. you

don't need a ugly cable laying around your desk... and when your phone rings

you can just grab it without thinking about taking of a cable because it's to short...

I near feature there will be charging plates in coffee shops and restaurants.. maybe trains and so on...

There is also this JBL Speaker with NFC and wireless charing.. you can just

put your phone on it and it will charge and automatically connect via NFC and bluetooth...

For me wireless charing is not a must... but it is a nice feature to have...

In near future there will be more possibilities with this technology....

Maybe in 6-7 years our smart phones will have a full blown OS like Windows 8... and a the power storage of a modern laptop... And your most of us won't need a desktop PC anymore...

You just put down your phone on a connection plate... and it charges and connects to your 24" Monitor with a full blown OS....

Wireless charing is maybe a little bit a gimmick now... but big things start small... and innovation is driven by combining different technologies to create something new... and my opinion is... wireless charging will be very important in near feature...

It's all about to make your battery last without having to connect it every time to this stupid charger...

You could have a suitcase or a jacket with a extra battery and a "charging pocket" just slide in your smartphone in it's pocket and it could charge...
[Nokia Lumia 820] Ikkari:
AW: What is the point of wireless charging?

Maybe it's gimmnicky right now...

But many good things have started this way... It's a start and i'am looking foward to things to come..

In russia some cofe shops already have charging plates...

Also for me NFC seems pretty gimmnicky right now just like wireless charging... It just needs time...
[Nokia Lumia 820] nandesho:
I think wireless charging is pretty pointless. But I think devices like that JBL speaker are cool! I really wish cars would have something like that.. Where you could just place your phone on the pad/plate/whatever and it was use NFC to negotiate a Bluetooth/WiFi connection and connect it to the cars entertainment WHILE charging. That would actually be an improvement over just plugging into a corded USB connection, since only music and files can be shared that way (not phone functionality).
[Nokia Lumia 820] Ikkari:
This is already possible to achieve with wireless charging, NFC and bluetooth...

But NFC and Wireless charging are pretty new.. it will take some years until such devices are market ready and enough people have this functions on their phones...

A USB port was nothing special to build it in in a car... but i took car manufacturer ages to do it... if there are enough people to find this helpful and useful it will get reality...

So no phones with wireless charging and NFC... No plates in coffee shops and cars... It was the same with most technologies...

I remember the time when WIFI was pretty useless in a laptop... because there where almost no wifi hotspots.. back then a lan port was essential...

[Asus Transformer TF700] mrmooc:
After almost a year with the tablet, the device is now registering some touches/pressure outside of the screen (so on the bezel). I know that the Infinity has some screen attachment issues (for instance it creaks when pressure is applied), so I think that the movement of the loose screen is causing the digitizer to register some touches. I turned on the setting which allows you to see touches, and it appears touches register on the right border when pressure is applied to the device.

I'm going to hit up customer service tomorow morning and see if I can get it repaired; has anybody else also encountered this problem?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iovaniorgovan:
[Q]How can you have push email with the Samsung stock / native email app? Not pull at certain time intervals.

Important

:

1.In my test push email was much more battery & data friendly that pull (at every 30min for exmaple). If there was only a few emails per day coming in, there was very little awake time from the Email app.

2.I know the Android native Gmail app does push very well, but I don't like it as much, and it doesn't support Yahoo. (get it google doesn't support yahoo :))

3. The Samsung native email app has features that I like: it's dark (black), it has a widget, it integrates very well with the rest of the i9300. So don't send me to use other email apps please. We will discuss this separately.

When I had the S2 i9100 it used to be quite simple (although in some isolated cases the push option was missing). For email accounts such as gmail, yahoo, hotmail there wasn't any problem to set it up to push email instead of pull.

Back at that time, Samsung was working with a service they called Social Hub . They integrated every thing inside it: instant messaging (gtalk, yahoo, msn), tweeter, facebook, etc. It was working pretty well.

A member on XDA considers Samsung is spying on us with this service - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2007571

The idea with push was Samsung servers were constantly checking if you had email and only wake up your phone when you really received new email.

Let's say I don't care about Samsung knowing my password right now and I want push email back.

Now with the S3 i9300 and JB, they dropped that project. I saw no trace of Social Hub on the S3.

The bad thins is there is no more push option, only poll at predefined intervals.

There are users who advice on using Exchange to push gmail - thanks to Google because they offer this function for free. I tested it, it works, but it is not battery and data friendly. It keeps the phone awake 5min/8h only for the gmail account, when Samsung Email on S2 used to wake it up for less than a minute per 8h. And it uses much more date, about 10 times as much. I saw other complaints on this forum about Android-Exchange large data consumption.

Other disadvantages are that lack of support for Yahoo (I understand you need to pay to have Exchange support for Yahoo).

This is the Exchange app vs. the Email app:

Right now I'm using the Email app for my yahoo and gmail account with the best settings I found for battery and data vs utility:

-pull email every 1h;

-size to retrieve emails: only headers (back on the S2, pull brought me also some content and the data consumption was not higher)

[Q]How can you have push email with the Samsung stock / native email app? Not pull at certain time intervals.

I found an answer on another topic:

" The native email client does not support IMAP idle. It only offers interval polling. If you're on Exchange, push does work but only with the active sync protocol."

I hope there is a way around it because I don't like Exchange on Android.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iovaniorgovan:
I found an interesting post which shows that IMAP IDLE, even if it provides Push email without third party servers, is battery hungry

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27219447&postcount=34.

In the past I have benn trying out AquaMail for my gmail account. Event though it is a very complex and well thought app, I had it to use Imap Idle Push and the battery and data consumption is still high compared to Seven/social hub.

It still consumes about 500KB per night even if there is no email coming into my gmail inbox. In a similar situation, social hub wouldn't have had consumed anything.

Next I tried odin, I put the phone into download mode, and hooked it up to the computer, but odin will not recognize it, i tried many other usb ports and 2 other computers, but none will work.
