iPhone = One manufacturer, one OS, each iPhone (3g, s, 4s, 5) will run the same official shyt apple gives them

Android = Several manufacturers, several options, several price groups, several specs

Android users would take it as a compliment. Android is evolving faster - open source - :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gambolputty:
Since when you need root to flash official XXLSZ for Germany via Odin? You don't even loose warranty...

Then why you're whining when you have no idea what you're talking about?

So? many people still use old phones and they don't want to change them

Yes, because it's Google's not OEMs' fault that they can't keep up with updates

A moment of realisation, why the hell am I responding to a troll?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kingears:
I'm saying that most android users no nothing about Odin or rooting, that's my point, they are completely reliant upon kies or ota updates being pushed out by the carrier once they've finished adding bloat.

Obviously having an opinion that is different to yours makes me a troll lol, what has this site come too :thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gambolputty:
Blaming Google and Android that developers make more sophisticated apps requiring better phones and saying it's bad because people can't run them on their old phones isn't an opinion - it's a sign of incredible ignorance or trolling, I assumed you are trolling (or you rant for ranting) but so be it, you're an ignorant, now please go back to using Windows 98, many people still use less than 1 GHz processor PCs so making Windows 8 is stupid, eh?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] black_dot:
redundant ..as this reply
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kingears:
And you don't think that this will alienate people from android? If you look in the play store most comments for apps are about the size of them.

As the thread title says, these are my observations after using android for 5 years, I'm entitled to my opinion, as are you, but coming in here and personally attacking me is unacceptable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kingears:
Because a phone with a battery that cannot be removed is unacceptable, to me anyway.

What happens when the battery is knackered? The phone is redundant.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kingears:
As above
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kingears:
I've been rooting android devices for 5 yrs, I am merely trying to make a point from the point of view of a normal user. People who root and put custom roms on their device are in the minority, in the grand scheme of things.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] warfareonly:
You can't have everything, mate. Somewhere, you have to make compromises. Where you make compromises is your decision.

Also, inbuilt non-removable batteries can be replaced. Only difference is, the service centre will be doing the replacement instead of you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kingears:
Oh I totally agree I can't have everything, life is a compromise.

I just think Google is risking losing out on a lot of 'regular' customers because of its business model.

I stand corrected on the in-built batteries, but then your left with no device whilst its replaced, or not i don't know how long it takes.

Plus I don't think we have service centres in the UK???

Easier to just go to a shop and get a replacement battery there and then.
[Sony Xperia ZL] outsidah:
Hey guys,

Just bought a brand C6502 and the display is all messed up after not using the phone for more than 15 minutes.

The displays gets all garbled and then either display some lines or just stays a dark grey color. It then sometimes comes back to normal and then gets corrupted again. I managed to do the software update hoping it would fix it, but same issue. I also tried resetting the phone to no avail. I am now trying to see if the seller will do an exchange... not a good feeling.

Word of warning for those of you considering buying this phone from ShopBLT or a place like that which doesn't allow exchange.

Here is a pic of the screen... any recommendations would be appreciated.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
Your going to have to exchange it..
[Sony Xperia ZL] outsidah:
Hopefully if the seller helps me out... horrible.

Question - how do you soft reset it? Volume Up + Power for a few? It's not working for me if that's it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] outsidah:
Found it... have to open SIM/SD Slot... there is a little "power" button that must be held until device vibrates 3 times.

Screen is still DEAD.

Is there a way to wipe the phone w/o the screen being visible?
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
Nope:( Your best bet is to contact the seller and hope they allow an exchange. That sucks.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
where did you buy it? Do they allow to exchange defective item?
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
ShopBLT

Looks like they can return it read there policy here

What does "NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES" mean?

A. Some manufacturers and suppliers require us to enforce a more restrictive return policy on their items. These restrictions (if any) are noted in the product's description and supersede our standard return policy. For example, if an item contains "(NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES)" in the product's description, that means you cannot return the item to us, and we cannot replace it, for any reason. In other words, the sale of that item is final, and you must contact the manufacturer for any assistance with replacing or repairing the item.

Some items can only be returned if unopened. On others, we can only accept returns or

ship replacements if defective

. Some items can only be returned or replaced within a specific number of days. By carefully reading the item's description for such notations, you will know whether anything you wish to purchase is subject to a special return restriction.

It is important to note that none of these restrictions apply to the manufacturer assisting you or replacing your item under its warranty (if one is provided by that manufacturer.) In fact, most special return policies are the result of manufacturers wanting to work directly with you. Lastly, these additional restrictions if present, are not by our choice. We are simply following the rules as given to us by various manufacturers and suppliers.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
I have also been looking at BLT C6502 and it has been out of stock? When did you buy this?

I think they will help you out if the can.
[Sony Xperia ZL] outsidah:
Hey guys - sorry if the first post seemed as if I bought it from ShopBLT. I was/am annoyed and didn't make it clear. I got it this one from an eBay seller (never-msrp). He hasn't responded yet as far as the exchange. I got to play with the phone all of maybe 5-10 minutes? If that?

I was mentioning the ShopBLT portion since I know many of us were waiting for them to stock the US LTE version of the phone. I settled on this one since I couldn't wait longer.

I'm hoping something positive comes of this... at the moment I'm out the money and the phone is a paperweight.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
Why did you go to eBay? Negrielectronics is cheaper than ebay or was cheaper than ebay not sure how much you paid.

If all else fails File a Claim on PayPal and say it arrived like that and send in pictures.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sonic2911:
PLEMIX is the cheapest now!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
MSRP response to emails a bit late as they get lots of orders but their service has been good for the last two time I dealt with them. once I had a defective phone and they helped very much.

Its possible if you hear back from them after mid-night.

Good Luck
[Sony Xperia ZL] sirsmokey:
I also got my zl from MSRP and it was $599. Everything works fine on my phone.

I have dealt with them for other big ticket items and their customer service is why i went back to them for this purchase.

Im sure a little explanation to the right customer rep will award you an exchange.

Call Jessica she is always pleasant to deal with.

[Sony Xperia ZL] outsidah:
Makes me feel better to hear the positive experiences. Hopefully I'll get it resolved soon.
[Sony Xperia ZL] mloomis00:
The same thing happend to my purple XZ I got from O2. I am in the states now and have to wait to return to the UK to exchange it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] krabappel2548:
Maybe bad connection between screen and morherboard inside the phone.
[Sony Xperia ZL] outsidah:
Spoke to Jessica on Saturday and today. She only deals with shipping so she was unable to help with my issue but marked my messages as urgent which didn't seem to do much. Finally heard back just now, they want me to send them the unit so they can check it and I suppose go from there. Its progress, but I wish I would have been able to ship it back since Saturday to speed this up.

Hello,

Wasn't careful enough, flashed a BL7 SBF to my green lens Defy. Oops! Now, the phone refuses to charge my battery.

Rooted via the instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542956 and installed quarx cm10 from 20130308. Everything works perfectly except charging.

No difference between the SBFs listed above (DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf and DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P015_A030_Service1FF.sbf)

Tried a few of the battery fixes floating around (RedLens_Working.zip, Defy+.zip), but none helped.

Same problem with no solution shows up at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2102113

Any ideas?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvandegrift:
I've learned some things:

1) /sys/devices/platform/cpcap_battery/power_supply/battery/status reads "Unknown" All of the other battery parameters are totally normal. This happens on stock 2.3.6, and quarx 20130318.

2) Bootmenu can read the battery percentage, and it seems basically accurate - it reads 99-100% right after I charge the battery in the wall charger, and it reads lower after the phone has been on a while.

3) Thus, the battery showing 1% is a display problem. Neither available battd changes this.

4) Looking through cpcap-battery.c, the status field is initially set to Unknown, and then that is updated when a read gets the real info. Platform probably can't read the status from the hardware, since it's failing on all versions in the same way. I probably damaged something McGuyvering before my wall charger showed up.

That's a bummer - probably no fix.

Sooo, playing with rooting, been rooted for a couple days, flashed viperlte rom and had problems and decided to take it back to stock for now. Gonna be on the road and can't be 'experimenting'...attempted to go back to stock, by using the original RUU, and as I understood it, I needed to lock the phone back first. Didn't make sense as I was wondering how I could flash a Rom if it was locked back. After locking, when trying to go to recovery, it just comes back to fastboot. I can't get into the main phone--it boots to a screen, but no buttons work, although if i press volume up/down it shows it on the screen. What have I done?! I'll admit being a newb to phones, so please, some guru help me get back to something ;)

Here's what fastboot shows:

TAMPERED

RELOCKED

SECURITY WARNING

Fireball pvt ship s-on rl

Hboot 1.15

Radio 1.53

opendsp v29.1.0.45

emmc-boot

It wouldn't read either of the mini sd-cards I used after rooting, so I can't just get use my sdcard with a new or original rom. I can't get to a main phone screen to turn on usb debugging, so no adp? Any ideas?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
download the ruu rename it PJ53IMG THEN transfer it to your sdcard via your computer and put back in phone and boot to bootloader, it should pick up the PJ53IMG, AND ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE, hit volume up to sat yes.(put sdcard in an adapter and put in your computer to transfer) Also you want 2.17.605.2 ruu software. make sure the zip is on the root of the sdcard(not in a folder, then make sure after you transfer that the file doesn't have 2 zips on it (PJ53IMG.ZIP.ZIP)YOU WANT ONLY ONE ZIP
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] zazaray:
Thank you for the response. Tried this, it loaded the zip, then went to 'checking' and after that, back to the bootloader. Never asked me if I wanted to proceed. When rebooted it brought me back to where I was, a phone which appears to be up--clock works, wifi is on, but I can't do anything. I feel pretty confident the img is good. Thoughts?

HOW did you put the ruu on the sdcard? from the computer? or usb

I don't know if this is a known issue, nor if I'm in the right forum. Yesterday I flashed Unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1. It was working pretty good. I then proceeded to install my .apk's. I installed only two, Temple Run & Temple Run 2. After those, I tried to install everything else, but it wouldn't let me. Every time I pressed "Install" the phone restarts. I tried to do it via a File Manager and Airdroid, still the same result; phone restarting. Aside from that, I installed App2SD and when I tried to move to SD it restarted.

I did the obvious things.

Remove SD and reinsert

Unmount and Mount SD Card

Swith phone off, switch it back on

Formatting the whole SD/Erasing the whole thing

I don't want to flash the rom again, since it would erase everything,

Is there possibly any other ways? Please help.
