[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
That happens if you run a GB or above rom while still using the froyo bootloader. Aside from that weird screen there are no other noticeable side effects. Where on earth did you even managed to get your hands on a I9000 with froyo bootloader anyway? The GB update came out years ago.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KUN1:
AW: [Q] Weird Screen Issue ?!

I bought the phone from another person.

I also don't know why he hasn't updated ^^

But normally if you flash a 3 file rom the bootloader should also be upgraded, shouldn't it?

After 3 times it finally changed the bootloader.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Not all rom files have the bootloader in them. I am not sure why, but that's just the way it is. Back then there was a mad scramble to figure out which of the rom files contain bootloaders because even though you cannot brick your phone while flashing a rom, you can brick it if you somehow corrupt the bootloader.
[General Questions and Answers] Hecatrice™:
Hello and thanks in advance for your help!

Two or three days I try and copy fails me now for a reason, time for another! L 'antivirus finds me a trojan horse, Windows tells me that the' unit is not ready, etc.. The procedure has been to connect the Samsung S via usb and then to insert a microsd reader and make a copy. On the new sd (a 32Gb rating 10) so I have less than the source file and for example Sygic I do not part with the new sd. Because I would like to also clean and leave only the various documents and personal files but how to make sure that once you install the new sd can continue to run old programs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vortmax:
I purchased an iOttie car mount for the Note 2 (pretty awesome I might add) and decided to stick a Tec Tile to it (directly under the NFC antenna) so that when I place the phone in the mount, a series of things occur...Media volume 15, Ringer volume 7, CarHome Ultra launch, and Disable Wifi. I programmed the Tec Tile using NFC Task Launcher.

Everything seems to work just fine on the initial read, but after some time (it varies and doesn't seem to hold a pattern), the NFC tag will re-read and start everything over (the screen is on the whole time, btw). Then it will do it again, and again at various times. I can't figure out why it keeps re-reading the tag over and over again at various times.

Additional info:

4.1.1 stock rooted via exploit

Multi-window mod

Brightness nod

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jamie
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunyazz:
I don't think you will have much luck placing a tile where your phone rest. It will attempt to read it over and over again. I ended up placing a tile on my dash. I hit the tile on my dash on my way to my dock in my car.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vortmax:
Thanks. That's what I did as well. However, just wondering why NFC keeps reading a tag on a random basis with the screen on the whole time. There must be some trigger or time-out internally. Oh well...the workaround works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sokudoningyou:
I know I found out that WidgetLocker (at least, since I apparently hadn't set it properly so the home button didn't unlock it) didn't properly "lock" my phone, so when I had this setup myself, and I'd turn the screen on, it toggled the tag. Because apparently screen on means the NFC reader turned on as well. Possibly when your screen refreshes it was doing the same thing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wanderer_92:
Hi developers!

So my rooted htc gsm version has a 'android system recovery installed'. And im needing android 4.0 for some app development.

I can't seem to flash a new recovery since "ClockworkMod Recovery" does not support older devices. I downloaded an older version of the ClockworkMod Recovery but trying to flash the recovery says that there's error. I need ClockworkMod Recovery to be installed on my phone to be able to install android 4.0.

Anyone has other methods to install ClockworkMod Recovery rather using their servers?

thank you :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemoba:
The recovery you got from cwm is enough to install CM9, check your CM9 zip, its probably a bad download
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] JM:
Hi there !

I have flashed Ver 1.1 then 1.2 on my O2-Asia, and several T-Mobile and SX56 of my friends and business partners. No accident so far.

Congratulations and thanks to xda-developers. Even went once to WM 2003, then back to ver 1.2. Never touched radio upgrades though.

Questions from a newbie : can I cook my own ROM in French with Jeff's kitchen ? Assuming I would have a basic ROM (from Bouygues ?), will it mix with other apps in English ? If it works, should I upgrade the radio part too ?

Cheers 8)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
I was thinking of creating some elaborate translation mechanism with lots of search/replace strings for the ROMkitchen. Then I figured most people really only want the keyboard layout and word-completion for the language they speak and the keyboard they're used to.

We have a volunteer currently looking into what would be involved in creating our own keyboard layouts and completion dictionaries. Stay tuned...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Cyberb0b:
well as french using an UK o2 XDA in France i was alson wondering, but i remember trying to put an english rom on my french version ipaq 3 month ago, i realized that bootloader of the device is also looking for language so that i was not able to update it to wince 2003 eng cause it was e franch device.

actually to solve my problem on the xda which is only for me to manage a azerty keyboard with french accent i use a software that change the keyboard.

That would be great to have the diferent language dictionaries, keyb and os language files nevertheless, but seems to be quite a hard job ...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] JM:
French cuisine in ROM kitchen

Thanks a lot to both xda developer Peter Poelman and Cyberb0b.

Agree that most of us will be happy only to have a French layout keyboard. For the rest, English is now the universal computer language, whether we like it or not : we must do with it.

BTW which kbd software do you use ?

Will stay tuned, with xda developers forever !

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] JiraffeLeung:
I read this up yesterday and wanted to post it here too for those who don't know about the app yet. "Smart Filter".

This app is magnificient in that it doesn't tweak hardware functions, but it applies a dark layer. Thus making it work wonderfully with the OLED screens (Apparantly OLED can only be dimmed to a certain extent).

This app is fantastic for reading, viewing videos or taking notes at night. Also awesome for using your phone in the theatres (I guess?).

Once again, app is called: Screen Filter

i use this app alot. great one because i too could not figure out how to lower the brightness.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] h8heat:
Thanks for sharing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Evo:
I have tried many screen filter apps, and to this day, none have come close to Lux Auto Brightness.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] JiraffeLeung:
Does Lux apply

a filter as well? The only down side I can think of with the filter method is that it doesn't really save battery (in comparison to actually emitting less light).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] borijess:
I dont think it applies a filter. I think it allows you to go below stock settings.

[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
After handling both the Z and the ZL for a few hours, the ZL is what I chose. I dont understand why it is a priority for everyone all of a sudden to have a water resistant phone. That, the much more durable and grippy curved plastic back, and the insane screen to body ratio were what made me buy the ZL.

If you guys would like to know anything in particular, please feel free to ask.

Pro Tip: For the folks in India, try asking the shopkeeper to exclude the headphones. They end up giving you a nice little discount. That is assuming you already have a good set of IEMs or cans.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
I had no choise to go with the ZL the Z I would get edge/2G here in the USA haha. But The ZL seems to sound better than the ZL, I came from the Note 2 and Loving it!

Are those headphones worth that much for them to give such a discount? WoW I looked them up they sell for a good 30-50 USD. Thats interesting for headphones that come with a phone.
[Sony Xperia ZL] greatremix:
well, for me, obviously i would like to have the Z, but since there's no any information abou the releasing date, i placed the order of ZL..i am going to wait for the Z to come out and get the both/_\
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
The Z has been out longer than the ZL, The Z is on Handtec, Negri, eBay, Amazon.

The Z has been out for a few weeks...
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
I initially thought I would like the clean lines of the Z, but at that size, such hard lines make it uncomfortable to hold. Now, if only they would make it in a 4.5-4.7 inch form factor, with the screen ratio of the ZL, it would be a perfect phone. Not to mention all the issues plaguing the Z, made the ZL a perfect choice for me :good:
[Sony Xperia ZL] redandwhitearmy:
Where did u see Zl demo unit? its not there in Rajouri Garden
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Sony Center in South Extension Part 1. They have both the Z and the ZL on display. I am betting it should be there in Select Citiwalk too.

On a side note, can someone point me to a guide as to how to remove the nav bar?
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
Why would you want to remove it? It would make the phone useless,
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
Loving my new Xperia ZL

I too chose the Xperia ZL over XZ. I agree with what u have said, and would also add that the sound on ZL is louder than Z. And i tested the screens and found that ZL has better screen (calibration perhaps?) viewing angles and colour vibrance than XZ (today i went back and confirmed it by checking 3 different XZ screens from 2 different sony stores). Also, physical camera key is a plus & the notification LED at bottom of ZL is an eye candy :cool:.

Lol, i was so moved by the ZL (the moment i saw it live in my hands) that i sold my note2 at once & bought the Zl (for a price difference of 6000INR). I also managed to get the Sony headphones (MDR-ZX100A worth 1490 INR) & the ZL tpu case (worth 1490 INR) free :good:.

@hyelton.. i too am coming from note2 & loving the ZL. The screen is gorgeous! Text appears crisp, no matter how small it is while browsing!
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Check out LMT Launcher! Thats the first thing I install on any rooted android phone
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
Oh okay:D I seen that on the Note 2, I couldnt get used to it. I still miss android 2.2 so I`m old fashioned I guess haha
[Sony Xperia ZL] vicedens2002:
Hi, can you please test USB host?
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Alright got it working!

Add "qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1" (without the quotes) at the end of the build.prop in /system and reboot. The nav bar disappears. Now the ENTIRE screen is usable! Awesome!!

EDIT: Make sure to install and setup LMT launcher before you do this. Also, make sure startup is set to AUTO in LMT
[Sony Xperia ZL] cheapshot789:
Hey guys I have a Note 2 and I have been debating on selling it and getting the ZL ever since i saw it thats the phone i was waiting for to make the bezel as small as possible in a good screen size and zl did it. Im kind of getting tired of carrying a big Note 2 arround "dont get me wrong N2 is a beast". Couple of questing i love the speaker on N2 how does that compare on ZL and also how small is the ZL really is it smaller than the S3?
[Sony Xperia ZL] DJsCrIBbLe:
Ill prob check out the ZL when it hits AT&T, im between that and the s4. im kind of bored of samsung phones. I like a removable battery but its not a deal killer so we will see...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
Hello there! I was in the similar situation as yours. I loved my note2 and it probably has the best battery backup among current android lineup. But i couldn't resist the ZL. Note2's internal speaker are definitely louder than ZL (by about 30% i would guess) and so is the default volume via earphones. But i find the sound quality much better on ZL (esp with clear audio mode) and default loudspeaker volume is higher on ZL.

About the size, it is significantly smaller than note2 & like the OP says, ZL has got stunning screen to bezel ratio (i think the best amongst all smartphones i've yet seen). GS3 is 5mm taller, 1.3mm wider and 1.2mm thinner as compared to the Xperia ZL. Smaller ZL yet packs 5" screen!
[Sony Xperia ZL] rycexboi:
Has anyone tried the black and white one to see which one felt better?, I'm not so sure if I should get the black one, might not be used to the texture.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
AT&T Most likely wont get the phone......
[Sony Xperia ZL] gclancer:
I also sold my note 2 for the Z but it just didn't feel comfortable to hold so i decided to give ZL a try and i am glad that i did. Love the ZL, the plastic back doesn't feel cheap at all.:thumbup:
[Sony Xperia ZL] DJsCrIBbLe:
It just passed FCC for att pretty sure ...
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
Not it did not....

"and a surprise FCC visit means that it could arrive in the US soon. Uncle Sam got its mitts on hardware that supports LTE bands 2, 4, 5 and 17, along with HSPA over 1900, 1700 and 850MHz frequencies -- a perfect match for AT&T's network."

It did may that doesnt mean it will....
[Sony Xperia ZL] cheapshot789:
Is anyone using this zl on tmobile will it support its upcoming lte thats another reason im holding out I just updated my Note to support lte
[Sony Xperia ZL] rycexboi:
It pass FCC but not for att, engadget just assumed it was for att because of the band, but the bands also for t mobile.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
Depends on which ZL you get... The C6506 You will get LTE. But the C6502 you will get HSPA+ which I have the C6502 and HSPA+ picks up pretty good never been able to pull 3G at my house on T-Mobile with any other phone even tmobile cause my area is edge only for tmobile.
[Sony Xperia ZL] DJsCrIBbLe:
There is a pretty good chance it will hit att , better to be optimistic then a deby downer like all of you making negative assumptions
[Sony Xperia ZL] vivftp:
Given the recent discoveries on the Z side of things with the camera, could you do some comparison shots where you have the normal mode vs. the burst mode? Apparently on the Z, burst mode shots are far clearer and sharper than normal mode shots. Curious to know if it's the same on the ZL
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
After my phone comes to a full charge in a few I`ll test it
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
Yes, the burst shots are sharper (but noisy) than normal mode shots :confused:. Same as said in the XZ thread.
[Sony Xperia ZL] vivftp:
More noisy yes, but that's vs. the massive levels of smoothing over done in normal mode in comparison. Even with the noise in burst mode, the colours are better and there's more detail visible.

I hope one day someone can do a comparison between burst mode Z/ZL and other top end phones.

[Sony Xperia ZL] take55:
AW: Z or ZL - I made my choice

- ZL has a rubber back, other than the glass back of the Z and more rounded which is better in terms of ergonomics.

- ZL has an IR sensor for use as remote control (for TV etc.)

- the notification light is on the bottom and looks different as it appears like a small bar

have u used the diplay configurator??? does it affect the contrast noticeably??? which color do u have??? i mean the body color :) and plz post a review w/ benchmark results if not already posted. which model number u have? does it support 4G in india??

thanks...
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
I havent used the display config yet. Will do the next time I am on stock and report results. Trying out CM 10.1 for now :o

The ZL is available just in black for now. Got the 6502 HSPA model. As far as I know, and correct me if I am wrong, 4G isnt available in India yet. Just as a pilot project in select cities in a very small scale. I get HSPA speeds of about 6mbps (Airtel) here in Delhi, which is fast enough for me. 4G would be pointless without substantially increased data caps anyway. You would blow through the 1-2gb limits within no time :D

My only gripe with the phone is the buttflap design. It would have looked MUCH better with an uninterrupted back. However, I am nitpicking.

I would tell you that benchmarks are pointless. The phone runs extremely smooth with no hiccups anywhere, be it HD videos, gaming or whatever. But if its really that important to you, just let me know which benchmarks, and I'll run them for you. :good:
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
Benchmarks

As said above the synthetic benchmarks are not of much significance. I've seen smoother devices scoring lower than not so smooth/fast ones. But for it's worth, here are the two commonly used (quadrant & antutu). Run on completely stock sony rom (build 10.1.A.1.434 India) with no mod or tweak, not rooted (stock locked BL).
[Sony Xperia ZL] control freak:
thanks man 4 such a quick resposne. at south ex i tried it yesterday.. it was awesum :) and ur ryt the rear luks a bit weird but can be managed. but 4got to ask'em abt the variant. so if u know can u tell me if the c6503 model is available at south ex in white?? and wat price u bought it? and plz enlighten me about its loudspeaker, earphones audio quality.

thanks :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Just press the THANKS button if I helped :good:

The south ex sony center is where I asked first. I believe its the 6502 model and they had it in black. But, I am not sure if they would give you any discounts. Do keep in mind however that no one has the white one yet. I am not sure if it would dirty or yellow over time.

Both loudspeaker and earphone quality is ok. Nothing to write home about and definitely worse than Note2/ GS3. Phone manufacturers really need to put in better DACs. At least Samsung realizes this. The Wolfson DACs are amazing.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Duffmantp:
The ZL sounds really interesting. And since att might not pick up the phone. I will probably get a sim for Tmobile or ATT. That should work here in the US correct.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Spectre51:
Yes it will work on either carrier. There's no might not pick it up. AT&T already passed on the ZL.

[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
Loudspeaker is ok (as said above). Call quality and sound is good. But I feel the default sound quality is much better than on Samsung (volume although is lower than note2). But it sounds more balanced to my ear (especially with clear audio mode). I really like the sound via external amplifier or a good pair of headphones. Note2 sounds great with various audio mods/kernel tweaks but I don't feel any need for those on the ZL.
[Sony Xperia ZL] control freak:
how r the supplied earphones? specifically its bass:silly:?? i'hv heard its one of the best stock earphones...

wats ur opnion??
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Stock ones are good. Provide good isolation and the fact that the right ear piece goes behind your neck ensures it stays on even during runs if that's important to you. I wish they had volume/ track change buttons though. Even the bass is acceptable while not overdoing it. As dpk1 mentioned, the sound is 'clearer' than most phones, though I still prefer the iPhone with a good set of iems, like the UEs or Shures. Will try it with an amp and see what I can get
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
Well, I guess u got ur answer in the post above. About bass, I think its decent, not too heavy (booming). I also got the sony headphones (promotional with the XZ) free with my ZL, which I find quite interesting (also louder than the stock ones).
[Sony Xperia ZL] Duffmantp:
