[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verma_gaurav:
I am using samsung galaxy GT-I9300T (telecom new zealand). Currently i am using Jelly Bean 4.1.1 in my phone. Officiall Jelly Bean 4.1.2 is here but i am not able to update my phone with latest JB 4.1.2. I have tried with wifi, Kies and phone network. It says that its the latest version which i am using.

What should i do.? Please help
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Go to settings/about phone and take note of your baseband. Then Go to sammobile.com and download the latest Vodafone NZ Firmware. It's JB 4.1.2 XXEMA1. Then, as you're a Telecom customer download and re flash you're modem/baseband using recovery.

You'll now have latest official NZ Jelly been and a Telecom compatible modem/baseband :)

P.S You can use a Vodafone modem/baseband on Telecom without issues so re flashing your old baseband isn't essential. You may get better signal with a Telecom specific (T variant) modem though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verma_gaurav:
Thank you for your reply

But i am not with vodafone. My phone's carrer is TELECOM NZ. Will it work with Vodafone firmware nz?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Yes any firmware works with any carrier. Vodafone NZ Firmware isn't branded and doesn't contain Vodafone bloat.

You can use the modem that comes with firmware or download T variant modem and flash that.

My phone phone has shut down twice today for not apparent reason.

Once I had it sitting on my desk and the second time it was in my pocket.

I saw a video that it might be the battery connectors but in my case I was not able to replicate it.

So what else could it be?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshe22:
Anyone? Already turned off once today.

Could also be a kernel panic. What ROM are you using?

Running 4.2.1 + rooted nothing else flashed or changed.

Haven't over or underclocked?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I occasionally experienced sleep of deaths on 4.2.1 although now its stopped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iLeopard:
As stated by another user, occasional reboots are "normal" on 4.2.1 but twice a day is a bit ridiculous.

If I may suggest a substitute ROM in which I don't really experience any reboots, it is pretty much stock with tweaks, no AOKP, CM10, PA, eye candy, just a fast stable ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshe22:
Yeah I really wouldn't mind a soft reboot or even a reboot once in a while but I have had 3 shut-offs in the last 2 days it wasn't even a reboot, which makes me wonder if it's hardware rather than software.

Thanks for the suggestion but at this point I really don't want to flash a ROM, I will most likely end up coming back to stock at some point if I do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I found that uninstalling the last couple apps I installed stopped the sleep of deaths.

Double check that your kernel settings are stock and you haven't done any tweaks that could cause kernel panic

[Xperia Z General] androidlover20:
Sorry to all Sony fanboys here but I used Xperia Z for 2days and I can say its just ok mobile with good design, nothing special. Once S4, M7 will be announced XZ is dead.

Below are the points:

1. Its very expensive

2. Not really premium built, still plastic feeling. Power Button flimsy, not as attractive as shown/hyped in videos.

Try it, you will come to know

3. Poor viewing angles, Butterfly screen is far far better than XZ

4. Audio output poor via speakers

5. Only camera quality is good

NOTE - Iam not trolling its a good phone but not the Best !!!

[Xperia Z General] mattman83:
Obvious troll is obvious. How expensive do you think the M7, S4 etc are going to be? In Australia the XZ RRP is *less* than the street price of the SGSIII 4G (a 6 month old re-design of a 10 month old phone). Sounds good to me.

The rest is basically down to user needs.

[Xperia Z General] ssj_jaypee:
I somewhat agree though, the Xperia Z is launching in a month with outdated hardware. Well... not outdated but the S4 Pro and Adreno 320 has been out since last year.

The new HTC M7 and Galaxy S4 will be much more powerful and they are also launching soon.

So the Xperia Z will be overlooked again.

I'm still getting my Xperia Z though, cause I'm a Sony fanboy and also love the design.
[Xperia Z General] mattman83:
I think the point being raised here is that specs aren't everything. The Z won't be the most powerful phone this half, but it's still incredibly powerful all the same. I used to think my desire was good and it only pulled 4K in antutu compared to 20K for this phone!

What *does* sell the phone for me is that Sony are the only manufacturer to openly cooperate with and encourage the developer community. None of us would be here on XDA if we didn't care about modding/custom roms etc and life is going to be much better for the sony than it will be for upcoming Samsungs & HTC's. Samsung release broken kernel source and no source at all for exynos - what good is an 8 core CPU if you can't even get hardware UI accel working on anything other than a touchwiz rom. HTC are just dead slow, another GPL violation with kernel source for the latest HOX update, that and it still took some light modification for it to actually work. Don't forget they don't fully unlock bootloaders any more either and kernels have to be flashed via fastboot every time.

On the other hand, Sony have published source for the Z weeks before it is even available! Not only that, but they've chosen the chipset with the best open source support and also a massive dev community to pull from via the N4. I'm fully aware this won't be the biggest selling phone this year, I'm also fully aware that it won't be the most powerful.... but I just don't care, but it'll do what *I* want much better than the upcoming HTC/Samsung releases.

[Xperia Z General] SEFanX10i:
M7 has the same APQ8064 just clocked higher. So its only going to be on par with the Z as Butterfly is behind Z in terms of performance. Extra 200mhz clock in the M7 might help it perform on par with the Z.

SGS4 will of course be more powerful than M7, Z and all other phones.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaeiger:
Hey all,

Recently, I've been getting a harsh crackling/chirping sound coming from my phone. This occurs regardless of whether or not I'm actually playing sound/music on my phone, and occurs whether it's just the bare speaker playing sound or if I have headphones plugged in. Even when my phone is set to silent, it will make this noise while I just navigate around the phone. I'm running the latest builds of ParanoidAndroid and Franco kernel; the issue has been persistent through the past few weeks' versions of both. Before, I was just dirty flashing, but I just clean installed PA3 and the issue is still here.

Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashan85:
Hi guys. I finally made up my mind. I was looking for a phone to upgrade from s2 and had N4 and used s3 as options.

So I want to buy N4, I found one used for a week at a good prize and 16 gb so I will not have to buy the 8gb any more.

Question is there a code like *#0*#? on samsungs to check the phone?

I will get the proof of purchase as well, do I need to register anything else on google?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exodian:
If I had a phone I used for a week and did not want it I would return it for a refund. Unless I did something to it that would not allow for a return. Then I would sell it "at a good price" to someone on say craigslist. Just saying.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Censura_Umbra:
Except you can sometimes make a profit on craigslist if they don't realize they are back in stock or don't want to wait. And then you don't have to wait for Google to receive the device and refund you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George_Mn:
First of all, I do not recommend buying the 8gb version, since you come from a S2 with expandable memory. I use 5 out of my 13gb free space for apps.. then I still need to download stuff and roms, take pictures and make backups. And also i stream music via spotify instead of downloading and keeping songs.

If you don't need the 8 extra gb, go for the 8gb version.

Then, I would look for scratches! If there are too many, I would allways make a lower offer to save some €.

If you can see that he obviously dropped it, check functionality eg. touchscreen responsivness, camera, speakers etc.

Do you mind if it's rooted? You will see an unlocked lock right under the google Logo on booting the device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashan85:
thanks, I payed for it and i will have it Friday. I will check everything very closely. It's the 16Gb version so it's perfect for me, when I had s2 I didn't ever filled the 11.5 GB .

I actually don't want to root but I have to, one of the reasons is that I want to get full screen 4.7. What I was thinking, aren't there secret codes for testing the unit like *#0#?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashan85:
So I got it today, I guess I won't buy used phones ever again. It came with a delivery note from play store but the IMEI is different on that one vs the phone and box, also the seller has wiped the name and address from it (I feel like I was lied and cheated, it's not fair), the delivery note says 7 february, but the screen protector shows me that the phone was used more than 7 days, who knows, I might never find out. It has bleed kinda of a lot of stage effect there (ok all the lcd panels have, no problem) but it has also something like whiter mini blotches on the screen (I have those on my laptop from presure) very tiny maybe microns but yeah I saw them... All of this make me regret I did not chucked a little extra pound and bought a new phone. It will go back to the seller, I will loose on postage but learned my lesson.

I think I can't ever make a RMA request with that useless paper, even if I could I feel lied and cheated...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George_Mn:
AW: [Q] What to check when buying used N4

I don't know about law in your country, but in Germany I would have threatened the seller, making him either sending me the right device (I think he just ordered a new one and gave you his old one with the new bill) or at least make him pay the postal charge (for both packages). We take fraud really serious over here.

I once ordered a s3 from an eBay seller and waited over 2 weeks just to find out that he didn't pay his amazon bill so that he never actually had the s3 I payed for. He was quite cooperative once I found out..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Censura_Umbra:
I called Google play store and they told me all that was needed was the phone's imei. As the warranty is attached. Though it might be stolen, who knows. If it isn't then just say you bought it online used and you have proof of purchase. Make sure you already have a Google wallet account and tell them you would like to transfer the warranty. They can send an email to the original owner asking for permission if they need to, but you should be good.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AwesomeAHlee:
hi guys, what screen protectors do you use? i just bought the sgp ultra crystal is it any good?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
I've always used Brando - but recently i got SafeScreen which is half the price - and i haven't noticed any differences between them. Never tried SGP though. For Xperia Z i'll probably use the one that Sony bundled with the phone - or whichever brand releases one for both front and back of the phone.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parapaul:
I was thinking this too - the Xperia Z, like other Xperias, ships with a pre-fitted screen protector. I'd like one for the back too though, to keep it looking pristine.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
It has this pre-fitted protector on both front and back. There's additional screen protector bundled in the box so you can apply it on the screen to keep it double-protected, from shattering and scratches.

So does xz need another display shield? Isn't enough the one it has from sony?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
The one applied by Sony is supposed to protect your device from shattering if you happen to break the display. It holds pieces of broken glass togethes. But it is a plastic screen protector - so it will get scratched after a while, so you can either apply a second more scratch-resistant one ( recommended by Sony as it gives you both type of protection ) on top of it - or use the phone as is, and just remove the pre-fitted one should it get scratched badly and replace it with a new one.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craftycarper1:
I didn't know the phone came bundled with a screen protector, i've just ordered myself a cheapo hybrid hardcase from the Bay, comes with a screen protector as well, so i should be well covered in any eventuality.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
That was true for CES demo units - they printed Sony logo on the film and not on the glass. In retail units, Sony / Xperia logos are below the glass so removing the film will not take them away.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameski182:
Safesearch is a great screen protector. It's not very sensitive nor lessens the sensitivity
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
It's been said before. Sony applies anti-shatter film on both front and back of Xperia Z. It helps the device survive fall damage ( look up youtube videos, it really does work ) but it's not scratch-proof, so Sony bundles another screen-protector which you can apply on top of anti-shatter film to prevent scratches to the film itself. You can apply it on top of anti-shatter film without worsening screen quality or responsiveness.

Now, you can remove the anti-shatter film pretty easily, and the glass beneath it is as scratch resistant as Gorilla Glass 2 etc. ( tested by Erica ) and it is still shatter resistant because the glass is tempered, but the film applied by Sony strenghtens the device so ideally it shouldn't be removed.

No.

Their matte "Ultra Fine" and "Ultra Optics" series do have but are not yet available for Z: anti-fingerprint/anti-glare.

This "Ultra Crystal" they propose is just the most clear and anti scratch version, and fingerprints and smudge can be easily wiped off comparing to glass. +more glare. A bit double use with the installed Sony SP, get an SP to protect the SP :)

Also remark this is a dual protection set, so you'll get a front AND back protection.
