[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
1. Unlocking the bootloader erases your DRM keys so features like Bravia Engine or Gracenote will stop working. Even if you relock your bootloader, you won't get them back, they're lost forever.

2. Rooting doesn't affect Bravia Engine at all.

3. Not a stupid question at all, go for it, it's the best phone I've ever owned :) The only downside for me is the fact that I'll most likely never buy a phone that is not waterproof again... thanks Sony for making me used to waterproofing so quickly.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brockyneo:
Thanks for clearing then up for me ill defiantly not unlock boot loader then as don't want to loose Bravia,

I know sounds amazing I had one when first come out but sent it back faulty and got a htc one which is nice but the Xperia is tempting me back lol it's coming tomorrow lol :good::p:D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Well, they're both great phones, but to be honest I hate Sony for releasing XZ now. I love Windows Phone Lumia devices, I like other phones, but I just can't let XZ's design and waterproofing go... whatever flaws this device might have - for me it's just perfect for now and I hope they'll release another waterproof flagship like XZ in ~2 years.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] that-fat-old-man:
hey if you haven't unlocked yet then check this out. There is a way to backup your drm keys and restore them including bravia engine 2. Still you have to decide if you go with the bravia engine and a locked bootloader or custom roms with an unlocked bootloader and the bravia engine missing.

Hallo!

As I understand it, the V_ADP-pins of the 22pin-connector of the ?DA are for +5V to power the device. What shall I do with the USB_VDD-pin when creating my own cable? Has it to be connected to +5V, or just in case I´d like the ?DA to switch on when connecting?

In addition to that, Do I have to connect all three pins (20, 21, 22) to +5V or is it enough to just connect one of them?

And: What I did not get clear until now, is GND for power and audio the same, are they internally connected? Or should I use different grounds for audio and power?

Many thanks in advance,

[HTC Droid DNA] Cremacious:
Whenever I hook my phone up to my car's stereo I turn the phone volume up all the way so that I can keep the car volume at a low level. However, I forget that the media volume is set high so when I go to listen to music the volume almost destroys my ears before I turn it down.

My old phone had it to where the volume goes to a default volume whenever headphones are plugged in. Does this phone have that cause I'm not seeing it. If not, is there an app that does it?
[HTC Droid DNA] th3_g00b:
You might wanna check out Audio Manager or Volume Control +. both have sound locking features so the sound wont change unless u are in the app to change the volume. hope this helps :)
[One (M7) Accessories] leet414:
Hi all,

I've been a lurker for many years here on XDA and figured I'd try and contribute for once. :o Sorry if someone has posted a review on this case in the other threads. I looked around for a bit but didn't find any.

I received my Speck GemShell for my HTC One http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/htc/gemshell-for-htc-one.html about 3 days ago. It's a hard plastic case with gel incorporated around it. BTW, for those considering shipping options, mine shipped out from Oklahoma so it reached me in Chicago in a day via the free shipping option (USPS). That being said, here are my impressions so far:

Pros:

- The case still leaves the phones feeling pretty slim (though I still do prefer it nekkid).

- It's clear except for a gel around the front rim, corners, and inputs.

- The gel around the front rim elevates the phone when placing it on its face.

- The gel around the inputs will hopefully prevent wearing/cracking of the hard plastic.

- Seems well sealed enough that I haven't seen any dust or pocket enter the space between the case and phone.

- The speck logo on the back is really well done. It makes it seem like it's a part of the aluminum.

Cons:

- The power button becomes really recessed. Not a deal breaker for me but definitely something to take note of.

- Interacting with the volume buttons requires more effort.

- I'm OCD on keeping fingerprints off my phone/case and the cleaning has left micro-scratches on the case. So far it doesn't interfere with the appearance but we'll see after a longer period of time.​

- Wish the gel actually covered the entire sides, top, and bottom for better coverage. Even with the clear plastic, you don't really see the aluminum on the sides, top, and bottom.

So you can see the selling point of this phone is not only that it's a clear case but the gel that they've incorporated into it. I'm a bit sad on the micro-scratches but I'm not convinced there's any other case-based solution that would be cost effective. I've attached pictures of the case below.

Hope this mini-review helps!

[One (M7) Accessories] Toaster Strudels:
Thick, will turn yellow after a couple of weeks unlike other hard clear cases (such as the Spigen) and it's not very clear. Its very visible on the phone and defeats the purpose of it being clear.

[One (M7) Accessories] gk1984:
I just got this case in the mail over the weekend (still waiting on phone) and The case feels rather flimsy on its own and is incredibly thin. I have no doubt it'll protect against scratches, but feels like it'll do nothing for drops. I didn't expect Otterbox protection, but was hoping for some kind of impact absorption. Anyone have any experience with these cases and drops with previous devices?
[One (M7) Accessories] kandiyams:
Actually I went into the Sprint store on Thursday the 18th & purchased the white & silver speck case cor my HTC ONE that I was receiving in the mail the next day on the 19th & liked my case on it because it matches tne phone perfectly & fits it really tight like a body glove. It's hard to put on & hard to take off but I saw the clear gel case by speck o line yesterday morning & wanted that one because it will show my phone all the way around, I just dont want it to loosen up over time but this one I do have by speck is a hard shell case on the outside but a softgray rubber on the inside
[One (M7) Accessories] mareen77:
I have ordered the black one but it is still in post. Can someone tell me whether it adds any bulk to the phone? I bought a cheap one from ebay till my speck arrived and im completely satisfied with my cheap one and i hope speck is not bulky.
[One (M7) Accessories] gk1984:
I was completely surprised at how thin the speck is. It's hardly noticeable.
[One (M7) Accessories] oophlamer:
I've had mine for two weeks and it's VERY yellow. I'll post pics when I can. I've had other clear cases before, hard and soft, but never had them turn yellow like this one.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaldius:
Hi I have a question, is it possible to port the amazing camera app that is included in AOSP and Cyanogen mod 10.1 JB 4.2.2 to a stock Samsung JB rom?

The camera app is amazing in Cyanogen mod 10.1 has so many options like great ISO settings etc... I would really love to use this on a my stock rom (deodexed).

You might ask why don't you just use Cyanogen 10.1, I would love too but I have issues with it that prevent me from being able to use it.

So after flashing different roms and using the battery calibration app in the play store my battery information is all messed up!

I'll Charge it overnight until it is 100% and unplug it but it will stay at 100% for a very very long time without moving(hours). Then if i reset the tablet all the battery stats will reset, battery time on, screen on etc.. but it will stay at 100% still? after rebooting the tablet it will eventually start dropping slowly but the stats are incorrect...

[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
It looks like Sony has used a 1080x1776 display resolution in the Z rather than the original 1920x1080!

Some apps I used, showed the system specs as mentioned above, but I discarded it hoping that there was some error in their calculations. But even Vellamo benchmark shows the same as 1776. Is it true Sony that the device is not totally 1080p or what?

Or maybe, the rest of pixels was devoted to the soft buttons and the apps doesn't count it?

Very confusing on this part! Guys if you do know something about this, then please do share!
[Xperia Z General] wawyed:
Sigh, it's because of the soft buttons.
[Xperia Z General] arvin2212:
Yes, it's probably because of the soft buttons. Try using a mod to remove the soft buttons panel and see if the same app reports the screen as 1080P

Edit: Tested mine (Custom Rom with a mod for smaller soft buttons panel) and my resolution is reported as 1080 x 1812. So it is definitely the soft buttons panel.
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Even it is, but very ridiculous considering they take up that much pixels for a button!
[Xperia Z General] brockyneo:
am i right in saying when playing videos or when the soft keys are hiden then we do have the full hd?
[Xperia Z General] echoaxis:
is there a hd recorder app for this phone?
[Xperia Z General] GuestK00328:
Yes, you are correct.
[Xperia Z General] 23Six:
You can resize them.

My display is '1812x1080' using smaller navbars. Also take into account this isn't a 720p display so the navbar uses more pixels (cos there is more) despite being the exact same ratio/size.
[Xperia Z General] realpg:
for the soft buttons
[Xperia Z General] brockyneo:
That's good the cause thats the main time you want full hd is when playing videos and viewing pics lol
[Xperia Z General] vibranze:
It is confirmes that the soft button causing the vellamo to report non full HD screen. When I am in full screen mode, vellamo reported full HD.

[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:

[Xperia Z General] Aman27deep:
You never go full retard...
[Xperia Z General] PhilAd:
This is known, since Softbuttons are available in Android (4.x).

You can compare it to the HTC One X for example, surfing websites. The HTC One shows more, because it doesn't use Softbuttons.

Looking at pictures, watching videos or playing games will give you the fhd screen, because the softbuttons will be hided.

Yuo dont have additional pixels or another screen to show the softbuttons. they use the screen that is given.

It has a Full HD Screen and you can use it, when it matters.

Right, but your post was essentially titled as if Sony was being misleading in their spec.

Add this to your build.prop and enjoy the full 1080x1920...

You should install something like Button Savior or LMT Launcher as your soft buttons will go bye bye by doing this. I use the PIE option, so my screen looks like this....

I try to write a little Programm for my XDA II wit VB.NET and I have no clue where to begin.

Does anyone of you know where to finda kind of Manual for this?

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dev_dme:
What kind of database do you like to connect to? SQL-Ce or PocketAccess?

For the SQL-Ce-way, the Visual Studio .NET help files contain all you need to know.

If you prefer Access you need a wrapper to achieve this. Take a look at www.inthehand.com, they have the PocketAccess-wrapper, and a quite good forum there.

Another good source is the MSDN library, msdn.microsoft.com -> Library -> .NET Development -> .NET Compact Framework.

HTH,

Has anyone any experience sending their phone to the HTC repair centre after bricking their phone?

Long story short but i flashed the wrong boot animation and completely wiped the phone and despite several attempts to get a ROM on it again (spent days) I was unable to do so so brought it back to the shops where I bought it (was locked to o2 but I got it unlocked)

They sent it to company here called Fonemenders, i got a text today saying it has to be sent for level 3 repairs and mentioned something about the motherboard, now that has scared me a bit, it's bad enough I have to wait another 7 to 10 days but does anyone think I'll get charged given they'll see that it says tampered on it, i fail to see how it could be a problem with the motherboard too.

Has anyone any experience sending their phone to the HTC repair centre and what was the process.

Seriously contemplating never flashing anything again on my phone after this nightmare :(
[One (M7) General] Acetherockr:
I don't have any experience with HTC's repair centers, but I've sent in several rooted Samsung devices and a bricked Asus Transformer for repair. My experience has been that the people in the repair centers really don't give a crap. Relax and hope for the best :good:
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Samsung phones are seriously easy to modify compared to HTC, I'm no noob and read extensively on here and followed instructions to a t but still couldnt manage to get a stock or custom ROM back on my phone after that bad flash and me wiping it, no matter what I done.

Feel like I'm missing a limb here have gone over a week without it and now have another week wait, i won't rest easy until I have a fully working phone again.

Hope you are right my friend.
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
I don't think HTC phones are difficult to flash, sure, not as easy as Samsung, but on the other hand, much harder to brick.
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
I'm a bit concerned though why they mentioned the motherboard (see attached) there was nothing wrong with the motherboard all that needed to be done is for stock ROM to be flashed back on it.

I'm reading some reports of people being charged a lot when they are informed the motherboard has to be replaced, i should have just sent it into a repair shop in town for €25.
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
Well the flash ROM is soldered to the motherboard, if it is bricked, it would require a new motherboard.

It's probably not bricked, but in order to maintain your warranty, sometimes they say they must return it in "factory condition", which means unlocked. Which means a new motherboard. That's probably not really true in most cases, but once it's been unlocked, it's possible to overvoltage and overclock, which has the potential, however slight, to cause hardware damage.
[One (M7) General] realpg:
they r very easy to flash
[One (M7) General] pack21:
I'm very curious to see how HTC will replace the motherboard without causing dents in white polymer or screen damage, as we saw in ifix only with heat and a scalpel can be open the ONE.

Unless HTC repair center have an opening method that we dont know, they should give you a new device.
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
I sincerely hope you are right mate, I'd snap up a new device now.

I will report back anyway, if they come up with obscene charges I'll have to just leave it into a mobile repair shop here, i already went there and they said it would take a week and I thought that was too long but in retrospect I should have just left it with them.
