No, the S4 does support this feature, but instead of the S-Pen, you can simply just use your finger. I too, am also curious about whether or not this is a software or hardware feature because I would LOVE to have this feature in my phone, ;) even if it meant having to use a touchwiz rom. If I had to guess though, I would guess its hardware related, but who knows, maybe it isn't?:confused:

I would just like to inform that the Email/Exchange security patch script published in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117452 works perfectly on the Xperia Z.

EDIT: sorry, linked the wrong thread. I have corrected that mistake now.

The patching script does not automatically pick up the name of the email APK file though, so when prompted type SemcEmail.apk

You must be rooted for the patching script to work.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apurva.giri:
Hi,

Recently I got to know about the freezing problem of some Note 2 and how we could find out weather we have the same chip.

I used the app eMMC Check and below is the eMMC Chip details :-

eMMC Chip

Type: VTU00M

Date:08/2012

CID: 15010056545530304df1e83451558fcf

FwRev: 0xf1

So, basically I have the same chip as the one known for having the issue.

I have my warranty but I never had any issue yet.

How am I supposed to know if its a defected chip ? (if possible, without rooting please)

In case yes, what am I supposed to do ?

Bdw, here is the firmware and kernel version :-

Model Number

GT-N7100

Android Version

4.1.2

Actually I did read. But I didnt get a response for what exactly one should do if he's got the same chip while no freezing issue is being witnessed.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloatingFatMan:
Well, what do you expect to be able to do? Samsung aren't going to replace your device until it craps out.

There is plenty of information in the threads about how to protect yourself. Basically, flash a 4.1.2 ROM which has a workaround in it. Of course, there are some reports of it still happening on those ROM's as well, but nothing confirmed as yet.

Hi I just killed my bootloader and just read http://xda-developers.com/jtag/

anyone else has succeed using this method?

please share more experiences before i open my Xda O2

also i search lil bit more deep on the net and found this doc on how to built the ByteBlaster

http://www10.brinkster.com/nsfreecore/Build%20your%20own%20ByteBlaster!.htm

which one is good? ByteBlaster or Xilink ? or both are the same?

TIA
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] W4XY:
other option

Hi,

Probably your best bet is: http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2079

Only if this fails I would start to think about JTAG.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] brumie:
hmm my xda is really dead no bootloader at all,

i put on the cradle with power

Usb detected as USB Device not recognized

trying the bootloaderfix -> failed, nothing happened :|

I think its the JTAG way

is the simpliest JTAG cable download with only 5 resistors and db25 can help?

just like the one on http://openwince.sourceforge.net/jtag/iPAQ-3600/

this simpliest JTAG schematic:

http://openwince.sourceforge.net/jtag/iPAQ-3600/images/interface.png

or do we really need to build ByteBlaster/ Xilink board?

W4XY, please let me know

TIA
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] W4XY:
jtag

Ah my mistake. I confused the byteblaster with the bootblaster (another tool to write bootloaders).

About the interface I'm not sure. I would think that it should work with the simple one. Mostly because the iPAQ and XDA are similar enough. The more complex interfaces are a bit better because they do clean voltage level conversion. I suspect that the reason the simple interface works is because 3.3V is also seen as 1 for a 5V parallel port.

I've used a ByteBlaster cable. If you try the simple one let us know if it works.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] wbalzer:
I thought that I read somewhere that if the SD Card had the bootloader on it, the PocketPC would try and boot from the SD Card. Am I wrong?

I haven't tried it, but how else does the Manufacture restore a dead rom?

It seems that it should be able to use an alternate boot device if the first one fails.

??????

Wade
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] W4XY:
You can only boot from SD if a working OS is running. Now it is possible that PocketPC still works with a dead bootloader, and then you can reflash the bootloader in a number of ways. However if both are dead also the manufacturer will have to use jtag or other incircuit means to reflash the device. Normally this happens in the factory or with specific personalization hardware. The XDA has no backup boot ROM.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Razvan:
What is a Nandroid Backup?

It is a full backup of the partitions on your device’s NAND flash (NAND actually stands for NOT AND, which in simple terms means an electronic gate). Basically a backup of your phones hard drive if you will...

The Nandroid Backup is a snapshot of your device (it means everything on your phone – your apps, data, your current ROM and even the kernel is backed up) at the time you do the back up.

If you restore the back up, it changes your phone BACK to that state.

You will need clockworkmod (CWM/TWRP). So make sure you have CWM on your device.

The SD Card data is not backed up in the process. Although, the Nandroid Backup itself is created on your SD card. Make sure you have enough space on your SD card to make a COMPLETE copy of your phone.

It’s highly recommended that once you have done a backup, you manually copy it to your computer in case your sd card is wiped or corrupted.

Pre-requisites:

1. Rooted Device:

2. Custom Recovery (CWM or TWRP)

While the OS is running you cannot do a backup. The boot loader in the recovery enables you to take a backup of the OS while it’s not running.

How to Make a Nandroid Backup via CWM:

Backup via CWM:

1.Boot into Recovery pressing in the same time

Volume Up + Home + Power

buttons for our Galaxy S Advance phones

2. Select ‘Backup and Restore’ from the recovery.

Once you are in recovery, scroll down to the option ‘Backup and Recovery’ with volume Up/Down and select it (Power button for select).

3. Start the backup.

Once you are on the Nandroid screen, select ‘Backup’ to start the backup process. You have the option to ‘Restore’ backup on the same screen.

The backup process may take a while. Take a break for a coffee.

:D

4. Transfer the backup to your computer (recommended).

Once you reboot, you can see the backup in the ‘clockworkmod/backup/…’ (or similar file) directory on your SD card.

Move, copy, or paste this folder on your PC safely.

Restore from a Nandroid Backup via CWM:

1. Boot your device into CWM and navigate to the Nandroid screen.

2. Choose ‘Restore’ and begin the process.

If you select ‘Advanced Restore’ option, you may select which part of the backup to restore – i. e. the boot,system, data or cache. Or choose the whole backup.

3. Reboot your device. Your system is now restored and is exactly the same as the time when the backup was taken.

I have "Tried" to write a wiki just for what you need.

I made this to save some time for new users.

I actually ended up with the MOAR ROM since it mentioned MB1. I installed that the other day and wasn't sure if I could use People ROM with it. But I am having an issue using MultiPic Live Wallpaper with this ROM. I have set 5 individual wall papers up but they don't stick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hamspiced:
I cant remember which rom it was i flashed a month or so ago but the dev took out the Live Wallpaper function in his debloating process. I am not sure if MOAR rom did this as well, its worth asking in his thread...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] milky1112:
Hmm. Definatly post up in the MOAR thread. (MOAR and TPR are very similar so you can bounce between them with out too much issues) But def ask in there, I haven't personally used the multipic live wallpaper, so i couldn't tell ya. However, i'm sure it's something Team Noobz would help with.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PAPutzback:
I switched to People's this AM and the multi live wallpaper is working. I don't care for the built in dialer that doesn't return contacts correctly and switched to the Go Dialer. So far I am liking this ROM cleaner lines. I am wondering for the Google Voice integrated users if there is a way to remove Sprint's Voicemail. during the install I made sure not to install anything Sprint but it came through anyways.

[Xperia Z General] samxool:
to be honest, i find most online stores annoying when you have a problem.

Now, i just walk into carphone warehouse and order my phone in store. that way if i do have a problem with it, they will deal with it in store.

I've had enough issues with various phones from various companies in the past where I ordered online, and the store refuses to have anything to do with it.

So, whilst i may not get the best deal by ordering in store, by doing so, at least if i encounter a problem, i can go back to a store and they will do something about it!

though i don't agree with you making people avoid Sony products.

In my personal experience, my sony products last for years and years and years and always Just Work.

You just got unlucky.

deal with it.

[Xperia Z General] ram11:
Sorry about your experience with Sony online, but I have a completely different experience.

Bought an Xperia Z on contract via Phones 4 U online.

The first one wouldn't latch onto wifi. Spoke over phone with their technical team. Got it replaced at a nearby P4U store.

The second one wouldn't connect to GPS and also had battery issues. Ditto as above.

I think P4U might send them to Sony, but so far I have had a decent experience

Sorry you had a bad experience, I very deliberately buy from Amazon and don't mind paying a little more just to get hassle free returns within 30 days( I.wasn't sure I would like the Xz so wanted the 30 day return option)

Sony can only get better and as Samsung have now realised, good hardware only gets a brand so far, good software support and after sales support are what gain customer loyalty.
[Xperia Z General] Bigmille:
Just an update:

After more phone calls today. Sony agreed to refund me the full amount as soon as DHL picks up the headphones free of charge and deliver to them. To get this far, I had to bring both PayPal and my bank in to the dispute before Sony agreed to the full refund.

I decided to stick with the Z instead getting a HTC One, so brought a new but unwanted Z on eBay today.

To anyone reading this thread, the Xperia Z is an excellent phone which I highly recommend, just DON'T buy it from Sony Online UK.

Hi All,

I am fairly new to all this, I have read countless posts and done everything I can but I am stuck.

I have a HBOOT 2.14 currently with S-ON.

I have installed TWRP in recovery but no custom mods work due to the HBOOT version.

SuperCID is 111111111 and is already set.

I want to be able to S-OFF my device so i can downgrade the HBOOT and use the custom roms.

I ran through the facepalm S-OFF procedure, it all runs correctly, although upon reboot it still says S-ON.

Does anyone know why this would be? Is there something I am missing?

I am doing this some the TWRP recovery mode as that is the only place I can access adb commands currently.

There is no working ROM currently installed, CM 10.1 is installed although it can't be used because the touchscreen doesn't work.

Any information people can provide me to get all this working would be of great help.

Happy to donate/pay someone to help me via teamviewer or whatever.

Thanks,
