[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorrowuk:
Does anyone know if you can format the storage partition on the sdcard as ntfs or ext4.

Reason for this is if you want to put hd movies on your sd card and they are over 4GB you can't do this with FAT32.

So you would need to format it in a different partition. Anyone know if it works ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You format it to ExFat. That is the new sdcard format to get it to store more than 4gb. How you are going to do it I don't know. If it were stock, formatting that is easy, but CM10, I don't know. NTSF won't work but ext4 should. You can use partitioning software to do that.

Yesterday I went to flash Cool ICS V.12 on my phone. When I went to reboot it, it would bootloop. Since it didn't work, I went back and flash my backup, only to find that that would bootloop as well. I did some goggling and found that someone said that erasing the cache through adb and then flashing the boot image worked for them. I erased the cache through adb, but when i went to flash the boot image, it failed with this error: FAILED <remote: not allowed>. After some more research, I found somebody with an original Evo that had the same problem which was fixed by reflashing the nv.img, but I can't find that anywhere online. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?

[General Accessories] dachurchpcguy:
I like to carry my cell phone on my belt for easy access and that was easy with my old phones using something I picked up at Home Depot. Now I have an HTC Sensation 4G and it was WAY too big for my old case so I went shopping on ebay.

Since the phone is long I wanted to switch to a horizontal case because the vertical one I had sometimes got in the way when I sat down.

I found this case and it looked perfect:

It even said my phone would fit! Two weeks later I get the case and it's WAY too small, especially when I put the phone in it's Otterbox case.

If you find yourself in a similar bind the solution is easy ... stretch the leather! You can do it with water but I prefer alcohol since it dries fast and you can repeat the stretching steps quickly.

1) find something that fits in the case.

2) wet the case with alcohol, insert the thing that fits and jam in something next to it, Start small and work your way up.

3) Repeat until your phone fits.

It took me 1/2 hour or so but now my phone slides in easily. I had to stretch the case about 1/2" (13mm).

I may have to repeat this when my new quad core phone comes since it's even bigger.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redThd:
We all love the experience that CM / AOSP / AOKP etc. is bringing us.

What native functionality will be affected when running these rom on the phone?

- will the awesome sony camera software be ported to the new rom? If not, what features will we lose?

-is the so called 'bravia engine' tied to the native rom or is it closer to the hardware and will work with other roms?

-etc.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
With AOSP/CM/AOKP I'm sure we might lose many camera features - don't think any of them support HDR natively etc. Also, Bravia Engine is proprietary ( i think ) and surely won't be included in CM - maybe in other custom roms, who knows, but I wouldn't count on it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redThd:
It appears then a customization of the original rom will be the better deal in this case.

Was hoping the sony camera app can be ported and that the bravia engine is lower level code.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Some features should be portable like xloud and soný's walkman but not sure about bravia and camera since they have way too much dependencies used which is stuck in some binary files which sony doesn't release the source so pretty much no I think.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabappel2548:
I'll make custom stock rom :) so you will loose nothing using them :) only problem can be BE that won't work on unlocked bootloaders, but I hope Sony fixed this issue :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redThd:
So adding a feature like brightness slider in the notification area to the tweaked stock rom is doable?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Of course :) Should be fairly easy.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gregz78:
On other Sony devices, by unlocking your bootloader to flash custom rom, you loose the Bravia Engine....
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hebbe:
we'll lose BE just by unlocking the bootloader?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
No, unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with bravia engine. You'll lose it when you flash a custom rom that is not based on Sony's firmware.

EDIT: I've just read that unlocking/rooting your phone might disable DRM protected features due to security reasons. And Bravia Engine is one of them.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Who said that?

Bravia engine is a feature and when they say you lose DRM means you just can't use any apps that makes use of DRM certificates like those apps where you could rent videos on your phone. Was it video unlimited? And yeah TrackID(on the past but not now)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
I have no idea - I actually find it strange, and since that's only something I read somewhere on The Verge - don't take it seriously. Somebody has to confirm this.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Ok :D So it's not true alot of topics could have emerged about bravia if this was the case. DRM means digital rights management and I don't see any connection about digital rights and bravia engine.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qwerty123 \m/:
I doubt we lose BE. Let's see though.

I plan on staying stock, and probably run KA roms on it. CM10.1 will kill all features :/

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
sorry to ask something ignorant guys, but on my HTC incredible s right now, there are many roms with the bravia engine option.

so, would it be hard to add it back in if it gets lost?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
I requote myself here this time looks like I'm wrong :( Bravia engine does not seem to function when unlocking the bootloader now based on my research... Damn :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
Why would anyone even want the Bravia Engine in the first place? I much prefer running my movies as they are without any software-enhancements. The device even comes with a calibration-app, which makes the Bravia Engine even more useless.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Erm what does the display calibration app have to do with bravia? I don't want a display improvement what I want is the image enhancement it provides. On which even if I print the photo the optimization is still there. Display calibration is only on display not the actual image/video itself.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
Display Calibration means that I'll have natural looking colors on my screen(be it pictures or movies), whereas the Bravia Engine only adds artificial contrast, sharpening and saturation, making the colors even more off than they were to begin with. You'll be far better off "enhancing" the photos/videos on your own. ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Thats the point... Display calibration is for the display only whereas bravia is on the processing itself. Well true we could enhance the photos manually but I still prefer it does it automatically. Also with regards to video there's no option to adjust it's contrast and sharpness so yeah bravia is the only way to go.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithgrobertson:
Sorry if this has already been covered - I didn't want to start a new thread and this seemed like the place that's most relevant:

Last android phone I had was a Moto Atrix. It's been over a year since I've owned any android device and I just got the N7.

My question is:

If the Z/ZL is stuck with a locked bootloader, can we still put ROMs on it?

My understanding is:

Locked Bootloader = Phone specific roms (remove bloatware, custom theming) but NO kernel flashing

Unlocked Bootloader = Roms + Kernel Flashing

If I am correct (please correct me or clarify if I'm wrong), then no matter what, we can still get ROMs that include the Bravia Engine (BE) and other Sony features, but still change the look of the Android Experience?

Basically I am looking for vanilla android but with BE and other Sony features (like stamina mode, Walkman, etc.). Will I get my wish with a locked bootloader? Or to get this, do we need an unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
What you said there was true

But having vanilla android requires an unlocked bootloader because vanilla android requires a different kernel. Or it's possible but it won't be 100% vanilla unless some user puts on time and effort in converting sony framework to vanilla look.

Pretty much the easiest way in going vanilla is by flashing CM on which requires a custom kernel.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithgrobertson:
Thank you for clearing that up!

I'm staying tuned to all these threads... Here's hoping decent ROMs that don't remove (or let you choose) how much of Sony's bloatware you want to remove.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
You will be able to flash custom ROMS based on stock fw. And be sure there will be quite a few. See Xperia S section, we have XZX and SSpeed.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithgrobertson:
Those look great,

But I'm hoping for a CM10.1/AOSP/AOKP with Sony's Camera App.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redThd:
I second that!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
Possible, but unlikely. Sony camera relies a lot on Sony framework, so that takes a HUGE work.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethan3686:
Will we be able to flash DSP manager/Beats audio with custom roms for moreloudness and wider soundstage?

Hi all

I discovered that I have Swype now (not sure if I previosly had it). I know how to enable and use it, it's really nice with english! :)

But, a big but, my main language is Swiss German, this language does not have an official grammar and thus also no Swype support.

Is there now an easy way to switch between the two keyboards (Motorola default and swype) without always going into home - Settings - input language - and there set the default back to the default one?

I tried to long press space, but that only gives a Tab.

Thanks

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashsam:
Also, if you just found Swype as an option on your phone then it's probably a pre-installed version.

If you search google for Swype Beta and sign up you can download their latest beta version (which is currently free) and this may support more languages.

Sounds like a Mobile Broadcast. These can be disabled in the Messaging app settings. They are a cellular feature what warns of extreme weather and child abductions in your area.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
You were sent a Cell Broadcast - was kinda funny because i was at work too and my phone was on silent then it started yammering away. This is an option built into the network itself. It doesn't need to know your name/number - just your location. ALL phones connected to certain towers got this alert - even people visiting from Europe would get it as long as their phones were on and connected. This was implemented after 9/11 (i think) and futher pushed after Katrina. It was used with hurricane Sandy as well.

People in the office were all like WTF - their phones dind't do it apparently (iPhones and a Blackberry - iOS6 should have added that feature though but it's no in their Notification Settings area as it should. I looked for it and none of their phones had it).

I'm on CM10.1 but I pulled the CellBroadcastReceiver.apk and installed it too so I could get these alerts. Thought it wasn't working till today! :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marose1:
I purchased my Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100 without LTE) in Hong Kong on November 18, 2012. Upon returning to the United States, I used the phone without any problems, until February 2, 2013, when I received notification on my phone from Samsung that an Official Samsung software update was available for my phone. I clicked the icon to select installation of the software update, which resulted in my phone being updated (over-the-air) from OS 4.1.1 to OS 4.1.2

After installing the update, my phone functions properly, except that I am unable to receive WIFI from my Netgear WNDR3700 Wireless Router, or from any other locations having free WIFI Access on the 2.4ghz band. When attempting to connect to WIFI, even when the signal is strong, the connection remains at "obtaining IP Address" for about one minute, and then displays "Network Disabled Poor Connection". Prior to installation of the 4.1.2 update, the phone connected to WIFI without problems. I did a Factory Data Reset, and it did not solve the problem. I reported this problem to Samsung in Hong Kong and the United States, and they were of no help.

I have concluded that I may be able to fix the problem if I replace the 4.1.2 wifi files with the 4.1.1 wifi files. I have since extracted the system.img file from the 4.1.1 Hong Kong ROM. I would like to unpack the system.img file to retrieve the WIFI folders/files, but have been unsuccessful in unpacking/extracting this image file. What software do I need and what specific procedures do I need to follow to unpack/extract the system.img file in order gain access to the wifi folders/files?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5022668:
Even I had this problem. You can solve the problem by switching off Power Saving Mode (PSM) for WiFi.

Tap Phone to start the dialer.

Dial *#0011#

The SeviceMode screen appears.

Press the Menu button and click WiFi.

You will see that WiFi Power Save Mode is ON. Click the ON button to turn PSM off.

Now your phone will connect to WiFi. But remember that every time you reboot the phone, the PSM is turned ON so you have to do it every time you reboot the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeeshanonlyme:
GoodLuck

Keep calm and do the following:-

Download this zip file. And extract it to your etc/wifi folder.

http://db.tt/BWGleyxg

Since you need to overwrite a system folder, mount it as R/W from the default R/O using Root explorer or any other explorer(This is the important bit and there is no excuse for messing this part up)

Then copy and paste the conetnts of the "wifi" folder you earlier extracted to etc/wifi and choose "Overwrite files" option.

DONE.

If this doesn't work, then probably nothing will.

Wifi drop issue

I had the problem of my Note2 dropping its wifi connection as well. I tried the solutions discussed here - turning off wifi power saving mode, and copying the contents of the wifi folder from 4.1.1 to the /etc/wifi folder of 4.1.2. The latter worked for a day or two, then the problem started to reappear.

Last night I went into the advanced wifi settings of 4.1.2 and deselected "Network Notification" that informs the user that an open connection is in range. Guess what, my WiFi connection has been rock solid stable since then (crossing fingers ...).
