[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Again, why do you insist on accepting AT&T's shaft?

Subsidized pricing carries a MINIMUM of $450 (if you get an early upgrade at 18 months) cost penalty over an unsubsidized MVNO such as Straight Talk, to get you only a $300 subsidy. The math just doesn't work out.

Straight Talk: $45/mo for unlimited voice, unlimited texts, 2GB data ("unlimited" but you get nastygrams at 2GB)

AT&T: $70/mo for 450 minutes voice, no texts, 3GB data with massive overage penalties if you go over, plus AT&T loves to put data-eating bugs into their firmwares to ensure you hit that ceiling (see the AP Mobile widget in I777 UCKH7 for example... That sent tons of people into overages. Those that figured out it was a firmware bug were able to get refunds, but how many people just got shafted because they didn't know that AT&T pulled a shady trick like that?)

That's a $25/month cost penalty for inferior service, which adds up to $300/year. Since the minimum upgrade interval is 18 months (not 12) and the maximum subsidy discount is $300 - you're losing money.

Subsidized pricing every 2 years is NOT worth it. It's a scam.

Basically this! Hopefully, Sony will have the device on their US mobile site for sale, so I can enjoy the ZL with my T-mobile $30 plan :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
AW: Why is the US getting shafted?

Simple math is not everybodys thing. Yet less $$$ on the pricetag is perfectly well understood.

Live with it, the country you live in is famous over here to be hosting one or maybe two idiots. You also introduced us to multiple credit cards per holder where CC at all are still quite a new thing over here. And "buying" things, mainly electronics, on a payment plan is the ew big thing ATM, imported from allmighty America.

Bought my phone full price. Could have had it for 300 off if I bought it on a 24 month 40 bucks plan. 40*24 + price difference over 300 is CONSIDERABLY more than 300. A scam, as you correctly put it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajinn:
straight talk would be fine if they didnt cut your service for streaming video or audio.

no pandora/netflix/hulu/youtube on their networks which is where my data all goes to anyways.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justamelvin:
that would be true if my at&t plan were $70/month. it most certainly is not.

anyway, has there been any news of the xperia z coming to the US/ at&t picking it up? surprised that sony hasn't announced anything with the s4 already getting a late april release.

I did see a few news stories that AT&T had the ZL up for review with the FCC.

It's not AT&T, Engadget just assumed that it was AT&T because the band was the same. But T mobile had the same one so it's most likely unlocked still.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
:eek: We have the same scam pricing in France when it comes to subsidized cellphones yet there's even a bigger difference between an unsubsidized MVNO and a subsidized one here, 20€/month for unlimited voice, texts and 3gb data contract free.

Hello

I was wondering if I could get a stock ROM without root. Or could I do it my self by uninstalling SU?

Thanks.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Why would you want that ? :D
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
You can unroot by removing supersu.apk from /system/app and deleting root binaries.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Check this

http://onexroot.com/one-x-unroot/how-to-unroot-rooted-htc-one-x/
[HTC One X] squabbi:
Hehe, its nice of you to reply so soon!! I'm selling it. Nice phone though.
[HTC One X] squabbi:
Thanks! I'll try it in the morning. I wanted to find how to do this because there seem to be no RUUs.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Well there are ruu's....but depends on which one you need.
[HTC One X] squabbi:
Well a Australian Vodafone RUU for Jelly Bean would be nice. But I've seen that the sites have be shut down.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
There is a new domain up, google for android ruu.org index. But i dont think a JB voda ruu is released/leaked. The JB ruu's are pretty rare
[HTC One X] squabbi:
Yea, I've kinda noticed that. But I could probably flash a stock European ROM and unroot it using the link you gave me.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor this the site but its down at the moment, but its the actual one. You cant run a different ruu for your phone then the official one (no other region or wwe european one) and yes you can run a stock jb rom and unroot it but then the next the owner will not be able to update the phone
[HTC One X] squabbi:
I tried that site not too long ago so its still down. If I flashed the RUU then unlocked it, would it still get updates from Vodafone?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
I was on it last night so it will come back up i guess......to be able to update the phone you need :

Stock rom (out of the box stock)

Stock kernel

Stock recovery

If one of these things are messed the up the update will fail

And yes if you ran a ruu and only unlocked the bootloader it can still update ..... even with root you can still update, you loose it after the update. Only when you messedwith system apps like deleting them, removing bloatware apps from voda then the update will fail again
[HTC One X] squabbi:
Alright, by unlock I meant a network unlock.

I'm guessing that after updating to JB and a new HBOOT I can't run a ICS RUU?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
ow haha your right after the JB update you indeed can not run a ICS ruu anymore ! :good:
[HTC One X] squabbi:
I think I'll get one of the European rooted ROMs and unroot, flash stock recovery , kernel and OEM lock!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
yes thats possible....but it still wont update in the future. the updates go by CID. that is not changable....so you flash a rom for CID A and the future update will search for CID B with a different software number and at that point it will 100% fail !
[HTC One X] squabbi:
I thought you can't change your CID.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
That's what im saying....you can't change CIDS. but you want to run a custom rom based on a wwe rom. most of the roms are built on the european base 3.14.401.31. And not on the software number from vodaphone that is released on your phone......

Vodapaphone gets a softwareversion from HTC and they put all sorts of vodacrap in the rom (branding the phone) so basically the phone is stuck on that. The next update will also have that crap and is looking to update the old vodacrap, but now its no longer there so it won't update.

Hope i make it a bit less difficult like this :p
[HTC One X] squabbi:
OK I don't think there will be too many updates. :P
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Hahaha that's your choice of thinking :D

But do as you please, its your phone ;)
[HTC One X] squabbi:
Heheh, OK thanks for your help! :)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
No problem......
[HTC One X] squabbi:
Oh good. Just in time! Sold the phone for 395$A.

:)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
LOL ! that's a nice price mate !

Good luck with your new phone :highfive:

Re: [DEV](Q) Easy guide to Ubuntu touch

I recently got myself a new PC, I'll try it out and see what happens, should be a fun little thingy to do this afternoon :P

Dympy.
[Xperia Arc General] Ghostfreak NB:
Re: [DEV](Q) Easy guide to Ubuntu touch

Would you still mind to post that guide incase you've some time?
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
posted... anzu / iyokan changes pushed
[Xperia Arc General] replicant101:
Did you make anything flashable?
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
please read op. or rather the first line.
[Xperia Arc General] replicant101:
Whoops, I beg your pardon.

Although, after reading it back.. I still don't get it.

Have you or, have you not, got Ubuntu Touch running on the Anzu?
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
I cant. i dont have the time nor the space to build it. so i posted this simplified guide. so other devs still existent on the 2011 line can build it.t
[Xperia Arc General] replicant101:
This made my Arc feel really old.. :/

*thanks for the guide though :)
[Xperia Arc General] solo_:
don't worry dude :) Ubuntu developers has explained, their market strategy is create roms for old phones which are don't have official android update from their producers.
[Xperia Arc General] dympy:
Okay, finally had the sources synced, so gave it my best shot while still following your guide for Iyokan.

I ran into an error while compiling, just thought I'd share it here:

Dympy.
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
Some needed files are missing here. (Did you run config )
[Xperia Arc General] dympy:
You mean retrieving stuff from the phone itself? Because I did that..

Dympy.
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
try 'make clean' and 'make clobber' and try again
[Xperia Arc General] dympy:
Still nothing, going to walk my dog for a while, think out loud, and then retry some stuff..
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
do this, manually create a 'export_includes' file at the given directory. that should get you past that for sure. (if not work after build, can always use the lib from my cm10.1 build as ubuntu phone is based upon CM stripped off most of android)
[Xperia Arc General] dympy:
I just got an email from my ISP telling me they had major connection loss from our home, apparently my dog gnawed on some of the cables..

I've replaced the cables and am now syncing the sources again, my guess is that I missed some sources..

Dympy.
[Xperia Arc General] dympy:
Still nothing, same error as before..

Dympy.
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
Resync the iyokan device tree, make clean, copy files from phone again and compile. Made changes to the files pulled from phone, included thst lib to avoid compiling errors
[Xperia Arc General] dympy:
Well, I still got the error..

The last lines of my terminal:

Shall I try to create the file it's looking for, like you suggested before?

Dympy.
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
Goto iyokan device tree. Open proprietary files. And in tue end add this lib/libOmxCore
[Xperia Arc General] dympy:
Still nothing, it seems like it errorred on the libgenlock thing not existing sourcewise, so I've added that to the proprietary file list too, hoping it will work..

Will edit this post with more info if this works or not..

Dympy.

EDIT:

Still nothing, again, my last lines:

However, the "/home/dympy/ubuntu-touch/out/target/product/iyokan/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libgenlock_intermediates/export_includes" folder and file DO exist now..
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
Did you copy files over froom device aftee making changes ?
[Xperia Arc General] dympy:
Yes I did, got no errors while extracting files (So no "File not found" stuff) and I double checked using a root browser the files where actually there.

On another, yet maybe interesting note: When I run the brunch command again, without a make clean && make clobber before I run the command, it goes directly to compiling the kernel, which then fails..

Dympy.

EDIT:

I'm a retard, change the proprietary file list in my regular CM10.1 device tree :|

Will change in my ubuntu-touch iyokan device tree and check again..

EDIT 2:

It got past the previous error, now it's nagging about another file, again to do with libOmxBlahBlah.so, so added that file to the proprietary files list.
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
These are wont interrupt the boot process just for sake of curiosity, you do have cm10.1 flashed yes? Anyways do this for the libs and let me know if any other major error comes up
[Xperia Arc General] dympy:
Yes, I'm running my own CM10.1 build, build from your sources, and a bit from the cm42semc repo.

It's working smooth so far, but recently noticed I can't change the clock rate of the CPU, it's always represented as 0, so I'll have to look into that one.

And I'll continue doing this with the libs until it works :P

Dympy.

Edit:

I keep getting stuck on the libOmx[add more text] libraries, going to give up for today..

Anyway, I was re-reading the Ubuntu guide on porting and found this:

Could this be the problem?

EDIT 2:

Also, looking at your sources and the official Ubuntu Guide, I think you have made a mistake in naming the fstab file.

If you follow the guide, I believe it should be name fstab.iyokan instead of fstab.semc, just thought I would share
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
by what i can remember, the fstab was just for the nosuid data partition. try renaming it to fstab.iyokan, tho doubt that will do much. anyways send me the main.mk
[Xperia Arc General] dympy:
Okay, made no change at all, reverted back to your original code, and went googling.

While googling I found this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060161

And tried what he did in the 2nd post, and it actually kinda worked! I now have a different error, but I'm onto something here :P

My new error is:

Dympy.

EDIT:

Okay, been following similar steps for all other errors until one about libmemallock, this file was included in the Android.mk file located in /hardware/qcom/display/liboverlay/, so my temporary solution was simply removing that include.

This let me get past all the include/exclude stuff, and got me to the actual kernel compiling!

However.. It once again threw me an error..

Any idea what's going wrong this time?
[Xperia Arc General] kaikupascual:
Is interesant see a new projetc of S.O. for Xperia ARC:good:
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
i remember getting that error myself while building. couldnt find anything to fix it. tho check if you can skip this, i can compile the zImage for you, i have those sources and the ramdisk needed. can you get on gtalk? i need to see if this source that i have (another one) will compile for you. (I currently have problems with ubuntu again)
[Xperia Arc General] dympy:
I'm online on gtalk almost all day, but at school right now. Can test your sources in about 8 hours.

Dympy.
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
------------------------------------tho if your build of ubuntu boots, then i have a wifi fix. the same i used for the note 2.

Oh and check for the built libs (the ones done already) because those may be the only ones needed to get it to boot, just a hunch. can create zip manually.
[Xperia Arc General] dympy:
Okay, going to watch a movie with my mother and litle sister, then I'll try to compile Ubuntu Touch for my Nexus 7, just to make sure I can actually compile Ubuntu Touch..

Then I'm going to try some stuff I found on the internet and hope I can finally get this thing compiled, because I might have an idea as of why all these includes are going terribly wrong..

Dymion.
[Xperia Arc General] dympy:
Okay, been a while since my last update, but I took the advice from the Ubuntu Porting guide and took a look at the main.mk file in build/core and compared it to the regular CM10.1 one, there are major changes made in the subdirs part (in the regular CM10.1 main.mk file at line 479 and in the ubuntu-touch main.mk file at line 462).

Going to mess around with the values assigned in the ubuntu-touch main.mk and hope I can get this working.

Hi - We have two Galaxy I9100 S2's - both are Unlocked, Rooted, and running Jellybean 4.1.2 I9100XWLSD_I9100OXXLS6_I9100XXLS8_NEE (the Nordic build)

I visited a web site in the stock browser that required Flash, and discovered that Flash is no longer available from Google Play

I found that Flash will work on JB, if you side-load the .apk

So, I download Flash from http://d-h.st/x4v, installed it, re-visited the web site, and the Flash video played ok in my browser :good:

Problem is, after following the same procedure on my wife's phone, her phone will still not play the video :confused:

Yesterday I went to go on my Motorola xoom wifi and boot logo was displayed and the back was very warm. Reset the device and it stayed on boot logo. Tablet was running fine the day before. I tried fastboot, RSD and recovery and the pc only discovers Xoom in RSD mode, Recovery does not even load. I grabbed RSD lite and tried to flash a sbf file. program detects tablets flashes rom and reboots tablet when finished. then the program sits there counting up to 100% then says "please manually power up this phone". If I reboot tablet stays at logo screen. Is there any way to sort, bear in mind I cant only connect to tablet in RSD mode. tried 2 computers and four cables and still fastboot is waiting for device.

Thank you for reading this post.

Your battery might be bad but try these with your xoom plugged into a power source.

Can you get into recovery? with power off press the power button 3 seconds after moto logo press volume down you will see recovery across top press vol up. If you can do a factory wipe

Have you tried getting into fastboot mode? with power off press press power while holding vol down. if you can we can try and fastboot the files.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w4tcher:
If I select recovery I get

-->Android Recovery

Entering Android Recovery Mode

and the Motorola Logo in center of screen. Nothing else Happens.

In Fastboot mode Nothing shows in Device Manager and all I get at cmd is Waiting for device after "fastboot devices" command

I managed to flash "HUBWF_W5.H.6.4-20_SIGNED_UCAHUBLWFRTCOREEU_P010_A010_M004_HWwifi_hubble_AP1FF" in RSD Lite but same prob loads boot logo and nothing else. Is it possible this could be a cpu error ? as rom was running at 1.5ghz and if stuck in boot at 1.5ghz for a few hours more likely damage would occur.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfib1:
I don't think it is the cpu overclock because when you flash a new rom it would wipe your settings.

Do you have adb install on your pc?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w4tcher:
I have adb installed on pc yes but no way to talk to the tablet.

Thank you for your response.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfib1:
Do you have another device such as your phone you can plug in to your pc and see if adb is working by typing adb devices.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w4tcher:
If I plug my HTC one X into the computer both fastboot and adb list it.

Thank you for your response.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfib1:
The only thing I can think of is that the battery is going bad and causing issues. Since you flash new software, can't get out of the bootloop and the back is hot I would see about replacing it. You can try a soft reset but I don't think it will help. hold down both vol buttons and the power button until your xoom restarts.

I am not 100% sure if it is your battery but I am out of suggestions. I know when the batteries go bad in our devices it can cause issues.
