[General Questions and Answers] Michalxo:
Thank you for your help! After some hard battling with some button combinations I managed to get into some "etotalk" rom recovery, which fixed partitioning (using mke2fs tool) and getting clean "old" 4.0.4 android.

Thank you again! Phone is alive! :)

PS: I am not sure of the combination, but I pressed & hold both volume controls and simultaneously (or few ms later) pressed power on button.

[General Questions and Answers] steirx:
This might no longer be up to date AND I am no expert but when I was "playing" with my A660, I noticed that some (generic) descriptions for flashing, etc. refer to up- and down volume buttons, which (because they are on the right side of the device?) are in some cases mirrored to some of the instructions. In other words, up is down and down is up (if that makes sense).

If I power off the device, I usually first press volume up (and keep it pressed), while then also pressing and holding the power button.

Once the screen comes to live, you may let go of the buttons.

This combination brings me into the CWM Recovery based Recovery Mode. My phone also had the ETOTALK ROM installed ...

Navigation is with volume up / down and item selction is with the power button!

Same procedure with volume down gets you into the "factory Mode" menu, where you can do all sorts of test. However, this mode is also required for some (!) flashing procedures (ofter referred to for adb access).

Scrolling through the entries with volume down. Accepting an entry with Volume Up!

Hope this helps,

I have the same end result (after a factory reset (unintended) and unsuccesful attemts to put etotalk recovery rom back) i did a "format" from the flash tool): the phone appears dead, it will not power up. the flash tool does recognise the phone, and will download, memory test (it does say: "NAND Flash was not detected" however), etc.

using the instructions from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943442 I got the phone unbricked, so I could put the original firmware back (thanks to etotalk tech support for that tip) and then upgrade again tothe etotalk ROM.

Hello, this is my dad's phone and I'm used to Samsung so everything is a bit different. I've been searching for a fix for hours but nothing seems to work, I have the latest version of YouTube and I simply can't play YouTube videos from both the app and browser. It will play for around 4 seconds, stop and start over like 3 seconds later to do the exact same thing. I had this issue with other videos as well but fixed that by using a different video player. I hope someone can help me.

So I finally joined the tablet bandwagon. I got the Ployer Momo 11 Speed v01

I unpacked it and.. I really did not expect it to be that heavy. The specs say 680g or

about a lb. I though it might be just this one but then I looked up all other 9.7" tablets,

the iPad4, the ASUS transformer, the Nexus10.. they all weight about this much.

I think in order to comfortably use a tablet it should be at least half this weight.

What is making it this heavy? There are better electronics in the Nexus4 and it

weights 140g. I don't think it's the frame.

Is it the battery?

Or is the screen heavy?
[General Topics] Looneytoon98:
Try all of the above. Your typical smartphone has a 1500ma battery while some tablets have 4400ma batteries. Most smartphones have 4"-4.5" screens and you have a 9.7" screen. More than double screen size will require more glass hence, more weight. Material selection also plays a role in determining weight. Bottom line: more mass = more weight.
[General Topics] Pennycake:
That battery is definitely a large factor (perhaps the biggest one) , as would be the glass.

I suppose the comfort depends on what you want to do with it. I have a dedicated e-reader, so my tablet usually isn't held like a book when I'm using it, so I don't notice the weight.

Title says it all! I can swipe cards with Square but it does not read. Worked fine just before flashing. I like this ROM but paying 1% more per CC transaction is a problem because I have to key it in. The reader is recognized and says failed when swiped. Literally worked this morning before flashing. Have tried at least 10 Credit cards. Any help or suggestionS? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bonzaicyclewerx:
Not sure if you figured It out, I have an EVO 4g lte running Carbon ROM, aosp/aokp mix and an LG optimus V running an equivalent. Square will not work on either w reader but can be typed in.

I've bought an USB host wire and an USB hub as I've seen that these were necessary to plug usb devices to the motorola atrix but it doesn't works.

Devices are powered but the phone doesn't recognise them (even for the usb drives...)

Does someone know how to make it work, do I have to mod the hub or do something like that?

I hope someone will find the answer to my problem (I've used the search bar several times and didn't find it)

Ps: Is it the right section to post this ? I'm hesitating with the Q/A

Unless motorola has screwed us again and it's why Im talking about mod, I don't see the reason why it shoudn't work on our phones
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidoido004:
you need a kernel with OTG support, the atrix supports it only when plugged in the HDDock or in the LapDock, if you manage to make it recognizes the USB Hub as the Dock, you should have everything working, also, you could check faux123's kernel, i dont remember, but it may support it.

but from what i got, it was supposed to be working after android 4.1(or not, the GNexus and the Nexus 10 support it, dunno if or why the N4 and N7 doesnt.)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubunthero:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubunthero:
Explain me the way you do it ^^
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnannis:
Look its very simple. First you have to connect the hub with the phone (via the otg cable). Then you connect the hub with the charger (need usb male->male) so the ports are powered ... and VOILA :) the remaining ports are free for you :p

PS: i think that the quality hubs have something like power protection (?). In my case i first tried some ebay hubs (but they didnt made it for more than one week) so i bought a cheap (10$) ,but very good, from a local store

Ps2: sorry for 3days delay
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubunthero:
Do you mean that you use a charger to turn a non powered hub in a self powered hub ? Mine is self powered...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnannis:
Yes thats excactly what i do, because the local store hadnt a powered usb hub, but it should also work with a powered hub.

In your case everything is powered but nothing recognized by the phone ? Does the phone charge when connected with the powered hub ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubunthero:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnannis:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubunthero:
I don't know if my hub has this security, for the moment I don't have a male/male usb wire, so I can't try anything
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnannis:
So it is powered from an external power supply from a round port like laptops?

I think you should try with a usb male->male
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubunthero:
Exactly, it's that hub (sorry for the size):

It's what I'm going to try, but maybe I could keep the power supply by pluging the phone to the hub using as usb otg + male/male wire

(I will try this week end)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnannis:
Actually thats exactly what i use.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smashen:
I have the same problem as the op. Do I have to connect the phone via OTG cable to one of the regular ports of the powered hub or to the one USB-B port of the hub, where you normally would connect a PC?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnannis:
In my case there was no problem with usb power pins. So in your case it was the hub and thats the point that everyone should pay attention to
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_prince:
You can make your own OTG cable by just opening the micro-USB connector cover and you will see a leftout un-connected pin. Just solder it with the neighbouring pin (i-e Ground) and you got yourself an OTG cable (ONLY for OTG purpose so make sure you have a backup cable for sync/data transfer). a USB flashdrive / Card-Reader will work ok with that. Heck! even a mouse will work too provided the kernel + ROM support that.

As far as I know, Roms using kernels of 2.6.32.x are not provided with host-mode drivers (They can be supplied otherwise).

For me, OTG works more than fine on NOTTACHTRIX rom. (All JB/ICS variants by default support Host mode).

Also if you guys are going for a USB hub, better opt out for a "Powered USB Hub" and connect the hub to your phone via OTG cable. The other female jacks on the hub will be then available to connect various devices.

I dont know if anyone has asked this, but what happens after 30 mins of the Xperia Z being submerged in water? Though the flaps loosen up and give in? Any ideas?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
It will spontaneously burst into flames, even under water.

On a serious note, probably nothing. IP57 is a test made for 30 minutes but chances are it'll survive a lot more. The next level requires endless submersion at a higher depth and that is probably unreasonable to test/expect. I wouldn't try it out though.

You should see the waterproofing as an extra security. Dropped your phone in a puddle, spilled some water over it, need to take a call and it's raining? No problem. It's meant to survive those things. What it is not meant to do is to remain operational while submersed in water (they've said this on their website). It will, but it's not made to be used as an underwater camera or as a shower texting device (even though it can do those things).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkKrypt:
Haha :p

Great to know, thanks.

I would though like to see a review site test it for longer, just to push the Xperia Z to its limits.

Id expect it it text in the shower like the Nokia 5210? Which I used to have years ago.

But I understand the rest. Thanks Ambroos
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Edit:

(IP)(5)(7)

IP = Ingress Protection

5 = Dust protected

Desc - Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete protection against contact

7 = Immersion up to 1 m

Desc:

Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion).

Test Routine:

Test duration: 30 minutes

Immersion at depth of at least 1 m measured at bottom of device, and at least 15 cm measured at top of device

The reason why it's not 8 because for you to be able to get IP58 is

8 = Immersion beyond 1 m

Desc: The equipment is suitable for continuous immersion in water under conditions which shall be specified by the manufacturer. Normally, this will mean that the equipment is hermetically sealed. However, with certain types of equipment, it can mean that water can enter but only in such a manner that it produces no harmful effects.

Test Routine:

Test duration: continuous immersion in water

Depth specified by manufacturer

and to get the IP67

6 = Dust tight

Desc: No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact

The highest level is IP68 which requires a dust tight and is capable of staying underwater for an unlimited time. Like submarines.

But this isn't dust tight because of the open ports. And also this can't emerge underwater for an unlimited time because the body isn't airtight and moisture can develop inside the case if submerged longer.

So.......... It is only stated to last 30minutes underwater because that's the criteria level of IP rules is not very specific enough.

So sony only have 2 choices for this... Either go with the rule to state the device that it can be submerged 1meter for 30 minutes or state that it can be submerged down below the water for centuries :)

So to summarize it all the 30minutes 1 meter is not the device limitation but just the certification's description.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Hot temperature expands air so it should be safe what you need to worry about is cold water :p Not that water will get inside but the air inside the device could become moisture if it's cold and wet so dunno for sure :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
from my experience as a diver, I can say that it is not so much about the duration in water but about the depth and the pressure. The deeper you go into water, the higher is the pressure. For every 10 meter, the pressure doubles. From 1 bar to 2 bar and so on. What this means, is, if you go beyond the depth for which the phone is specified and tested, the protective covers might be too weak to hold steady against the pressure of the water around it. Then they'll give in and bulge inside, thus water comes in -> phone's dead!

This may not mean that if you go 1,1m that the phone will die immediately. It could withstand 2 m, maybe even 3 or 5. But I wouldn't bet or try it out. It may survive these depths, but only for a very short time.

To conclude, I would assume that going to swim for 1 hour in up to 1 m should be fine. But going down to 3m for 5 minutes - not so good idea.
