[Xperia Z Accessories] unixwise:
Just check it out, they don't export to Hong Kong, and schedule to release in mid-May

USB port is power outlet only
[Xperia Z Accessories] droidhd:
Lookslike that this page don't send to europe, or I am wrong?
[Xperia Z Accessories] RoChinu:
Indeed, If they did, Sony would have included it in their own dock.
[Xperia Z Accessories] unixwise:
Only sales within Mainland China. Hong Kong and Macau are excluded. So as the rest of world.
[Xperia Z Accessories] Hexs:
Well this look nice.

I didn't actually need a dock. I just want to charge my phone without opening the water-proof seal on usb port everyday.

A cable attach to the 2 pin power port should the perfect solution for me.

But until we have that, cheaper dock is a must buy for me.
[Xperia Z Accessories] unixwise:
Chatted with seller, the cheap one ($8 version) shall depart China toward my office in Hong Kong on or before next Wed
[Xperia Z Accessories] droidhd:
Is there any e-mail to contact seller, since I can't read chinese and sometimes even gtranslate can't help :). I would like to contact seller, to see what are options to get dock in rest of the world. I am pretty sure, for at least 5-10 XZ owners in my area would buy even the most expensive one, as it's still really cheap. Me personally I would go for middle one, since is kinda better than expensive one...
[Xperia Z Accessories] kart_man_21:
You might consider those taobao agents who buys it for you and shop it to you. Advantage they speak English :) and accept PayPal for example

I used http://www.engtaobao.com/ to ship mine dock.

Dock itself was $14, shipping was $2,5 and probably small (5%) handling fee.
[Xperia Z Accessories] unixwise:
It's finally arrive, $10 buck includes speedpost to Hong Kong, works perfectly with my XZ.
[Xperia Z Accessories] Leo Rexas:
How much will it cost in your country? I'm Chinese.
[Xperia Z Accessories] droidhd:
Can you make some picture with XZ in it? Maybe a review?

:)

I did NOT sent this message!
[Xperia Z Accessories] unixwise:
Will do later on tonight, while I am on the move now, check the pic of my XZ before my report

[Xperia Z Accessories] droidhd:
Unixwise thatnk you for nice review, but I have one more question :). Is there maybe a place for put it in with case?
[Xperia Z Accessories] unixwise:
It's almost perfect fit, and I don't see any chance it could host the case either,guess we have to wait till QI built-in case.
[Xperia Z Accessories] mengsuan:
The dock does not provide sync feature. If you can read the chinese description, it says the USB port is a power output (no sync) to another device, so you can use a single USB charger.
[Xperia Z Accessories] pjgowtham:
But I couldn't find any chinese docks on ebay india..could someone help me out?
[Xperia Z Accessories] lunarken:
is the charging fast? u charge using stock power chargers to wall point or pc/lap tops?
[Xperia Z Accessories] unixwise:
Standard 1A or above would be good.
[Xperia Z Accessories] unixwise:
There's duplica version available RMB$88, roughly USD$12

[Xperia Z Accessories] Benjoy Ericsson:
How long would it take to charge XZ fully? I wanna order one. :laugh:
[Xperia Z Accessories] Faelz:
i would like to know that too. :)
[Xperia Z Accessories] jamesbra:
At one amp probably 6ish hours
[Xperia Z Accessories] Faelz:
then its ok. Just put the phone there and go sleep :)
[Xperia Z Accessories] lunarken:
from 0 to 100% takes 6hrs? tats very long.
[Xperia Z Accessories] anirudhks:
Thats becuase its a 1amp charger not 1.5 which is stock
[Xperia Z Accessories] vibecatalin:
But why is 1A , are you charging it with the original Sony charger wich has 1.5A ? I don't understand if you supply 1.5A to the dock why is charging with 1A ? do you think the dock as an extra circuit that limits the amperage to 1A instead 1.5A from the original sony source?
[Xperia Z Accessories] unixwise:
I plugged a 2A onto the cradle, and took me roughly 2 hrs to full charged, I don't think any extr circuit would cut the amp,
[Xperia Z Accessories] vibecatalin:
I think there's a circuit in the phone because, I've charged the phone through the micro usb port and charges in 2 hours ( and with a current of aprox 1000mA) and with the same charger plugged in the dock that I've made charges in 4 hours ( and with a current of aprox 500mA). The current was read with CurrentWidget logs. I will post them if someone wants them.

Indeed if I charge the phone with my Galaxy Tab 10.1 charger ( wich has 2A output) I get a current in the dock of aprox 1000mA.

I will wait for the 10$ dock from ebay and the KIDIGI dock to test them too.

I was wondering if someone has the original dock. Can they share a log from current widget or at least check the value of the current while charging and the battery has maximum 50%.
[Xperia Z Accessories] droidhd:
I asked on dx-box.com how is with their output power on their dock

http://dx-box.com/desktop-dock-sync-cradle-charger-dk26-for-sony-xperia-z-c6603.html

Just got an email and they said output power is same as on original DK26. I ordered one cheap from ebay, but I will sell it to my friend and will buy this one to test it.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jiggz88:
Yea, I realize I'm the odd ball still running an old wrt54g for his home router but its all I need.

My problem though is that my newly acquired d-inc 4g can't connect to the WiFi at any faster than 12mbps with excellent signal. Now my girlfriends iPhone 4 sitting right near it gets the full 54mbps connection speed. And to further annoy me, my older rooted d-inc 2 gets 54mbps out the front door, no issues,

And to add to the slow speed, when the phone goes to sleep there is no WiFi data after it wakes back up. It remains connected, I just can't use it oddly.

Anyone willing and able to help a guy out?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
have you ever updated the firmware on your router?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jiggz88:
Yea, I'm running dd-wrt v24-sp2 mini build 14896. No linksys bull stability issues here.

WiFi is running in mixed mode, channel 11, WPA2-PSK AES (TKIP sucks), with slightly boosted tx power (75mW vs default 71mW), no afterburner but frame burst is on with a long preamble
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jiggz88:
This was solved. It was the routers fault. Apparently due to the recent storms at the time boucing the power, the flash on the router got into a bad state and required a 30-30-30 reset and has been happily working since then.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] sublimatica:
The other day I tried my XDA2 as an MP3 player for the first time, walking to the supermarket with headphones on. I realised that you must keep the machine turned on otherwise Windows Media Player stops playing. Bit surprised by this! (Does this fit with what other people have found? Seems a little impractical.)

So, I had to walk to Tescos with the XDA2 switched on in my trouser pocket. By the time I got there, I'd managed to open the Contacts app, find an ex-girlfriend's contact info and edit it. I'm not sure how I did this in my pocket. (But she always used to call me 'Clever ****' ;) )

Anyway, has anyone heard of an app that covers the screen with some sort of blank page and turns off the backlight, so that I need to touch a specific spot to reactivate the regular display? With something like that, I couldn't accidentally mess about with the machine and cause havoc. If such a thing doesn't exist, does someone fancy making one? Surely it would be so simple.

Would be interested in your thoughts, XDA2 brethren.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] danielalvers:

WMP has an option to Toggle off the screen.

Tools - Settings - Buttons

Hardware buttons are still live but the screen, and touch capability, are disabled. It also helps to extend battery life. :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] sublimatica:
COOOL!

Perfect! Map the Action button to the screen toggle and my prayers are answered! Thanks a bunch for that - I'd discovered how to map play, pause, stop etc to the cursor pad, but didn't realise what 'screen toggle' did.

Nice one. Much appreciated.

Hello friends, I bring this skin I made for UCCW. I named ArtWidget.

Sorry for my English is not very good.

This is my first post on XDA and my first skin for UCCW.

The widget will display the time, date and battery percentage. At the top, the bar indicates the battery charge.

Please if you can install, and tell me if they work well, I tried it on my Razr HD, an S2 and Defy and it works well.

Please comment.

I've got a cracked screen but the digitizer works fine. I noticed Amazon and eBay sell replacement screens but two local repair shops told me it's virtually impossible to replace the screen without damaging the phone so I they recommneded buying the screen and digitizer.

1) Does this sound right? If not, can anyone recommend a repair person/shop in Boston?

2) If they are right, can you recommend a place to buy the screen and digitizer that won't cost an arm and a leg.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DracoDan:
Phone:

GN Toro (Verizon)

no OS currently installed!

TWRP 2.3.3 (I know, needs to be updated)

Skip to the bold text for the TLDR version.

So here's the story... I was going to flash the latest AOKP and decided that this time I would do things right! In the past I had almost always dirty flashed, but this time I was going to start clean and only restore data for a handful of apps. So I booted into TWRP and wiped cache, dalvik cache, system, and ..........internal storage! I went to flash the ROM I had downloaded and that's when I learned that I had made a huge mistake :crying:

So I've been doing a TON of reading; I think I've found a solution to my problem in this thread.

I know I can either use ADB push to reload the ROM or use ODIN mode to reflash (although I was unable to get ODIN to see my phone). My concern is that if I'm going to have any chance recovering my files, I need to avoid writing to /sdcard at all costs.

So here's my question, is there a way to get a binary dump of /sdcard aka /media/data without first installing android? I need to be able to do so from TWRP or fastboot. I have the GN toolkit but I don't see any way of doing this. I also have all the drivers installed and working (or so it seems) and ADB installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Sorry I misread. I'm not sure how you can recover from that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beezer80:
I think you should be able to adb push a ROM to it. Flash it and it won't touch the contents of the SD card.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DracoDan:
Actually, this is exactly what I did. The new ROM wrote a directory structure and various files to /sdcard, hopefully none of those writes overwrote the data I'm trying to recover...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cschmitt:
16GB thumb drive and USB OTG cable. Boot into recovery and use dd to dump the user data partition to the thumb drive.

Probably too late for that, since you've already written files to the partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DracoDan:
Ya know, I have a huge thumb drive and a USB-OTG adapter, I never even thought of this! Thanks, if I ever need to do this again I will try that.

I was able to recover most if not all of my pics (the only thing I cared about losing) using this guide I linked above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cschmitt:
Glad that method worked. It's kind of scary with GN having a single data partition and no ext sd. Coming from a device with separate /data and /sdcard partitions plus and ext sd, I miss being able to back things up onto the card.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranphi:
Does anyone happen to know of an app that would allow me to continue to use the Sense 5 Launcher and have a "swipe down" gesture command that pulls down the Notification Bar? I really want to try and use Sense 5 to at least give it a shot but I also want to be able to swipe down on the home screen to pull down the Notification Bar. (I'm so used to having this ability from other custom Launcher apps that I really don't want to give up that feature). If there's a way to tweak Sense 5 or an app I can install to just enable this one gesture command, I'd be happy. :cyclops:

Thanks to anyone who has any helpful suggestions, it is much appreciated! :fingers-crossed:

No, I'm afraid I couldn't find anything that allowed me to do this. I caved in and put Apex Launcher on my One after realizing I also really needed to be able to use custom icons on my phone.

So, after a few searches, both on Google and on the forums, I cannot find this mod.

Does anyone know of a stock touchwiz launcher, modified to rotate?

I hate it when my phone is in landscape on the table or something, and I have to work with a portrait launcher. But I like the stock touchwiz, and would like to keep it.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] :

:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
Thanks, it is a pretty neat app.

The only problem is I lose a row of apps on my drawer.

Also, but this is just nitpicking, I don't really like the icon on my status bar.

But if there's nothing else, I'll stick with this. So thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
You can set it to not show the icon in the status bar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
Lol, I'm such a noob!

Now if only I could get that last row of apps to show, that would be nice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
i dont think you can with this app because it doesnt readjust the grid it just rotates and squishes it so most of it fits
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
Right, there's a bit of the top showing though, and I can still open the app.

Except for the one in the middle, because the page indicator is right there.

I would still prefer a modified launcher though.

But I'm using this until, hopefully, someday a modded touchwiz appears on the scene.

I remember I had one on my Galaxy s 4g.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scruffy4386:
How are you at custom work. In your framework-res.apk. decompile. Find /res/values/bools.XML. change "config_allowAllRotations" to true

Change "enableLockScreenRotation" to true.

Save recompile install. Enjoy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mha1021:
If it is not too much to ask, Can you Please do this for us coz i need this for my phone too. right now i am using Apex Launcher but i would rather use TouchWiz. if you decompile it and then upload it here we would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. i don't know anything about decompiling otherwise i would do it myself..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scruffy4386:
I'm on gs3. Can you upload a copy of yours?

Can you put it in dropbox? I can take a look after work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
I tried uploading my framework res. apk, but it's too big a file.

I'm trying to learn how to decompile, but my step daughter just took the computer from me, to talk to her grandma in Brazil. :(

I'm gonna try later though.

Thanks for your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
Well, I'm a noob at decompiling.

So what I did was change the extension from framework-res.apk to .zip, and extract it.

In the /res/ folder there is no /values folder.

I've been searching for a bools.xml folder, but no luck.

Is this something that will only show by decompiling?

Or is the GN2 framework diferent from the GS3 one?

TIA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scruffy4386:
That would work to edit images. You need to use apktool (search it ) to decompile the file before you can edit those values. I will be home in about an hour if you can find somewhere to upload it i can take a look. However i believe if you look up apktool it will be pretty easy to do yourself. Just dont forgot to make a backup in case something goes off
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
Yeah, I've been following this guide, but I always get an error when decompiling.

Hmm, let me try a dropbox link.

Let me know if that was successful.

Thanks for all your help!

Modded framework

Here is a flashable zip. Disregard it saying edge zoom. It's an old zip. It works on s3 may not be the right flasher for you but you can try it

http://db.tt/biIOIpUC

Oh yes also. I looked at the guide you are following and got lost. There are several quality guides on this site. Here is a good one for beginners

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
Thanks for all your trouble.

However, I got the file on your first link, renamed it to framework-res.apk, and copied it to system/framework.

As I started to get a lot of force closes, I did a reboot.

This resulted in an endless boot loop, which forced me to pull my battery, get into recovery, and restore my system. :(

So back to the drawing board, I guess.

I still appreciate all your help. Thanks for using your time to help a stranger. :thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scruffy4386:
I'm uploading a zip to replace the modded with the original. Try installing from recovery and if that still boot loops try fixing permissions. Only thing i changed was the bools.XML

If it still fails you should be able to use this remove zip

http://db.tt/k2W0dRXI
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
So, you're saying flash the the zip on the second link in your previous post.

And if that goes wrong, flash the zip on this latest post?

I'm at work right now, but I'll try later tonight.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scruffy4386:
Funny I'm just headed out to work. The first post has a zip to install screen rotating. The second post is your unmodified original framework so when you try the modified again. if it does not work, you can replace with the original file from the second post instead of having to wait through a full reset

That does seem odd. Maybe it's the flashable file. It was for my gs3. I've replaced them with the update scripts from a Galaxy note 2 package. They are the same download links as before. I verified that it is the modified file there. Was there any error? Did you verify that it actually copied the file? Easiest to tell by looking at the date it was modified. Its really not that great of a mod anyway. The constant rotation gets annoying and this method doesn't give a toggle. Still try the new zips and see if that makes the difference
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
Well, I flashed the ScreenRotation.Zip, and while nothing wrong happened, nothing happened at all! Everything is just normal, no screen rotation.

Bummer, huh?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
Lol, you edited your post instead of creating a new one, so I didn't realize you replied to me.

Anyway , both zips gave me bootloops.

But I guess your right, maybe rotation isn't all is cracked up to be.

I only need it a few times, when I have my phone on the table.

Most of the time I guess it would be more of a nuisance.

I thank you for all your effort.

And sorry for all the work I gave you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scruffy4386:
It might be a problem on my end. I was trying some things for myself today and i get boot loops even on unchanged files. So sorry about giving you bad files. You really can do it fairly easily. Look up apktool and apkmultitool which gives a simple way to work on apk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dutchmaster18:
Not to be a pest but I tried the enable all rotations in the framework res edit some time ago... The lock screen edit works but the launcher doesn't. If you still need help. I can help u with the lock screen. Still looking for a way to rotate the launcher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
That edit resides within the launcher apk itself I do believe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dutchmaster18:
ive been doing some digging. There is a line you can edit in the launcher apk. But in framework the "allow all rotation" edit doesnt work for the launcher. However if you go to the launcher apk res\values\bools.xml, line9 is a dummy line. But i decompiled a launcher from a rom that im running and in line 9 instead of the dummy line it says <bool name="config_isSupportOrientationChange">true</bool>

Now i havent yet tried that yet but if someone would like to and get back to me i would like to know if this edit works or not
