I went for Silver too, never been a big fan of black phones. Or white ones, for that matter! really like the brown Galaxy S3 my girlfriend uses, and my old Desire HD had a bit do a brownish tint to it. Only had my silver One for a couple of hours so far, but it's stunning - very happy with it and it frames the display nicely. one day when we have true edge-to-edge displays then black would look amazing, but until then I think I'd prefer a silver, grey or brown.

flip a coin, heads white, tails black... but honestly if you flip the coin you will realize what color you want while the coin is spinning in mid air.
[One (M7) General] h.han:
Or confuse yourself even more:D that's what happened to me when I was deciding... I took the black simply because another colleague in my company got a silver and I wanted to be different! It turns out to be a good choice.
[One (M7) General] insomnia:
once you go black you can't go back.
[One (M7) General] h.han:
I actually had chance to go back, switch to a silver One while I was still in the first 7 days after received the phone feared it may chip. But I stayed because my normal usage will not worsen the casing,

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willeyedoney:
I have been having some odd problems trying to backup my /efs directory.

I followed the excellent guide on the Development forum but still can't seem to get it to work.

Using SuperOneClick I rooted the phone, which all went ok. However when I started adb.exe to run the tar zcvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs command I kept getting tar: not known.

So I used ES Explorer to look in the /system/bin directory which for some reason contains the gzip binary but not the tar binary.

I then went onto Google Play and installed Busybox which I thought would sort things out. Instead when I ran the command

I was informed that the z flag was not recognised.

Is there a simple way to obtain and add the tar binary to /system/bin so I can backup the /efs directory?

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
It seems that after attempting to update my profile, I've completely lost my data connection. Was on the phone with Sprint for over an hour, and he didn't help and hasn't called back as he promised he would so he could check on things...Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Delakit:
Typical Sprint. =) I feel your pain. They have no customer service and are big fans of lying to their loyal customers. Take it to the store if you have TEP. They'll try to fix it and replace it if needed. That's what they did when mine did that ;) The hell with their call center reps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
Yes, they were unable to do anything. Tried factory reset and that did t work. Taking it back to Best Buy tomorrow. Hopefully they will give me a new one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Delakit:
As long as you have protection you will be just fine. But good luck just incase.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
As it turns out, after 4 hours on the phone with tech support, trips to 2 Best Buys to try to get a replacement right away and hopefully a new one, I learned that there was a total outage with one of the towers near me. How support didn't know this is beyond me, the BB guy told me someone was in with a similar situation and he couldn't activate any Sprint phones. So I decided to go to a Sprint repair store in a different area. They went through all the motions as well, but no go...I was about to pitch my fit and request a phone out of the box (the employee said this may work if I got pissy enough, when the manager came over, did a simulated battery pull, and there pops up the network! Evidently, all the rebooting after the ## and factory reset stuff is not the same as a battery pull...who knew?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abokorayem:
hey all ^_^

i was about 2 buy Xperia z when i heard that Sony will release smart phone which called honami with 20MP camera and xenon flash and 2700m battery and 5 inch display with snapdragon 800 clocked at 2.3GH

as i read it will be launched in japan in july and the universal version will be in august or september

Is that true?shall i wait 4 it?or thats just fake news?

Thanks in advance :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidhd:
Dude, 20MP is not possible for 2013! they made step from 8MP - 13MP after 2 or 3 years, no one will move forward to such a high resolution in so small time. Think twice...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abokorayem:

Good luck in waiting then, if you think so :). I dont belive there will be 20MP phone soon, since even not so many DSLR doesn't have that amount of pixels :)

are you a photographer?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abokorayem:
actually i dont rly care about the 20MP camera....what i care about the the Xenon flash as the xperia z flash isnt that good
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
...well thats a strange way to choose your phone but if thats what your after then look at Samsung or Nokia, my S3 is like a mini flash light...ridiculously bright.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abokorayem:
u didnt get my point....Ofcourse i care about the camera but what i think is that 13mp or 20mp not that difference 2 me as iam not a photographer...but what will make a differenceis the good flash....dont forget the 2700-3000m battery and 2.3 snapdragon processor :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
If Nokia can bring out a 40+ mp phone why can't Sony bring out a 20mp phone? In the end the mp doesn't mean that much.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
well sounds like the Note II is good for u then...battery huge and the camera same as S3, the processor is a marketing gimmick, duo core S4 pro processor can run pretty much everything and anything.

P.S I got the 7000mah battery for my S3 and it last me 2 day with heavy usage and no wifi but if you have your heart set on that phone then by all mean, i'm just giving you the option that is already available.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidhd:
On the end you guys will say I was correct :). Android phones, long time won't see 20MP. Nokia made it in 2012, in that time was really popular 8MP on Android, am I right? XS was exception with 12mp. None of the high phones was better in mp.

Dsteppa, I agree, mps doesn't mean nothing :).

P.S.: The point is, Xperia Z forums are the only one, who talks more about other phones than XZ. I never saw something like that for example in DHD forums. But nvm, I will ignore this kind of topics in future :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
Depends on what you are using MP's for, creates damn good crops of photos due to the lack of zooming capability ;)

The key here with the Honami is having a decent and most likely faster lens to benefit from more MP's

Sony need to proove themselves first by fixing the XZ photo quality, less noise suppression. Otherwise I am sure too many people will be put off.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
...dude I dont know what the heck you talking about, no one says your right. matter of fact I proved you wrong there is a phone above 20 even 30 MP and matter or not is up to the user. That Nokia 808 has the best glass even for photographer standard. Its a Carl Zeiss lens with an aperture of f2.4 most DSLR kit lens come at F3.5-5.6

http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/23/3113109/nokia-808-pureview-sample-photos
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
Nicely put, and right on the money.

And as I said you can use any part of that photo to make a fantastic crop due to lack of zoom, and still be much better image quality than any phone out there.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

Really, that has got to be one of the most strange justifications I have heard. Just buy a Xenon flash light, Point and shoot, even better a point and shoot with a hotshoe, or a DSLR.

At the end of the day this is a Phone, and a bonus of the camera
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomuseresato:
You guys seem to be missing the point ;)

In case of Honami it's not MP count but camera sensor size. It has a bigger sized camera sensor than Nokia N8 and close to Pureview808 size. That is 3 times bigger sensor than Xperia Z
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
And a decent lens ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
He is not real clear on what he want, first he say he want a better phone with a list of specific like camera, processor and etc. then he change his mind and say he wanted better flash and battery, which i offer him the choice of Samsung Note II, it offer all those things except for processor, which is negligent for a phone. I'm afraid he either a little confuse or just another Sony employee trying to advertise upcoming phone which I suspect is most of the user in this thread.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xukaiteo:
More megapixels = more noise = more processing = lesser details. The z is better for me.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Simply put: go for Z. You can wait few months for Honami and don't even like it once it's out. Get XZ, and then when Honami gets out, you can sell XZ and get it instead if you'll think it's worth the change.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] LukeC88:
Hi guys, few months my girlfriend dropped her LG P880 down the toilet... anyway now I have managed to get it to work, I had it in rice for like 2 months.

I had to re-flash the firmware to bring it back to life. If i reset the phone i need to re-flash it so the phone boots up (I have rooted the phone and then I can reset the phone, turn it off and back on and it works), but the minute I take the battery out or when the battery dies it will not come back on. All I get is black screen and BACK / HOME / OPTION is glowing without me pressing the power button and thats it.... Now for me to get the phone back on i need to flash it every time. After rooting POWER + VOL DOWN does not load up the recovery.

NOW IM STUCK :( Any ideas guys?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Fladder72:

then get a new one for low price...

If you still having problems after flash with LGFlash Tool ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38838927&postcount=7 ),

my only guess is that you have a hardware issue. Can be caused by some water remains and with time disappear or its some

permanet damage, in that case only LG Service can deal with that.

Toilets can be a sh*ty thing... :o

next time she wont be pissing through the phone lol

thank for you reply but I still wana know, when selecting dll and dz (i extracted with mod2_marvin or something like that name) do I have to select mannual in top most left corner and USB in connection mode?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Manual selection is to let you choose the .dll. You can leave the connection as UART, then select the USB port on the port settings.

I was wondering is there a way to receive incoming calls from the car speakers instead of the mda itself with this combination? I have search the forums and there seems to be a kit from "http://www.siocommunications.co.uk/06-061B.html" that will work with my car which is a "1999 ford cougar" but it's only for the nokia phone tho. Is there a kit that will work with my car,mda II and the tomtom carkit? or is there an special adapter i can buy to allow calls to come from my car speakers instead of the mda?

"Spec"

Tmobile MDA II

TOMTOM bluetooth navigator

TOMTOM bluetooth carkit

Thank You!
[General Accessories] cruisin-thru:
I found a very cheap way of doing this without any wires, its called a "car baby", its a small rechargeable unit that clips over the speaker on any pocket pc and transmits all audio through your radio to the speakers making your phone handsfree and a navigation systm will also put the audio through the speakers, works for mp3 as well. Here is the link for the device on ebay uk but is available worldwide for about $8 per unit.

is there any way to increase the amount of content that could be in 1 zoe? i know they are limited in time but 13 seems to be a too little for a 30 second video. i keep seeing multiple repeats of the same picture and i dont like it. any thought on getting a better Zoe experience?

oh and for any confusion i was talking about the video slide show that the gallery automatically creates for you. the highlight video not really the zoe videos

Add some actual videos in your highlights along with the zoes and stills

[HTC Sensation] RyanGDI:
Hey guys,

I've been having issues with getting my Sensation XE working with Virgin Mobile, coming over from Wind. At the time I was running DarkSense 1.3.2, S-Off'd, rooted, whole nines and never had any problems with Wind. Then I registered a Virgin Mobile SIM, slapped it in the phone and haven't had any luck; I could see the "VIRGIN" network, but got a "SIM will not allow a connection to this network" error (even though the SIM is registered with Virgin Mobile, account and all. Flashing Bell radios, factory resets, nothing seems to work at all. At this point I've put KANG - 4.2.2 on the phone and any JB build is giving me an "Error while searching for networks" notice when I go to manually select a network.

HBOOT - 1.29.0000

RADIO - 11.24A.3504.31_M

Firmware - Sure it's 3.33.xxx (updated it in the custom ROM process)

Can somebody recommend a configuration that'll work for Virgin Mobile? I've been struggling with this for the past day or so and won't have a working number until I sort this out. I know it's not a hardware/frequency issue, being a Z715e, but I'm sure there's some kernel/radio issue at hand that's choking the phone.

Thanks in advance!

I am with tmobile on there model HTC one , and I can't seem to get any good info as the forums there have just recently started ...

Figured id venture over to att HTC one and see if I can get my question answerd...

I'm reading a little on line that roms for my device are pretty much compatible with all HTC one variants ? Does any one know if I can flash what variant of roms on my m7?

Only thing I'm hearing is none of the roms have radios for tmo incorporated in!??

Anyone have any insight on a Roms for us or have they been flashing roms on others HTC ones
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cristian2206:
you can check HTC one international forums, so far i tried android revolution hd 7.1 and seems pretty stable and fast
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lojak29:
Awesome thanks I figured it was the international variant that was the compatibile Rom ... The one you flashed specifically was that on an att or tmo HTC one ? Did you have to flash the radio separately
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] BAM1789:
All the GSM radios are the same I believe. But if not ARHD 7.1 takes care of the Tmo people. Not sure if it's by flashing a separate radio, though it's not out of the question. Can be done easily within Aroma.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
Ahrd doesn't flash a radio the aroma options are for buildprop changes and signal icons.
[HTC Butterfly] marcuscmy:
Hi, so i got my phone last week. And yesterday, I decided to try and flash some custom roms on it. My device is pretty funny, I live in Hong Kong and when i bought my device, they have done S-OFF, unlocked bootloader, even custom recovery with twrp AND cwm. Now the default recovery was twrp, I tried flashing some roms, tried different ones, my device doesn't acccept them, after installing the rom, my device boots, shows the red text, stuck there for around 15 seconds and it reboots itself into the same state. So I used my twrp backup and flashed the recovery to cwm to give it a shot, the results are the same. And then at point, i booted up into recovery and it says Entering Recovery, and it gets stuck there forever. I can't boot into the system either. I tried using fastboot clear the cache, reflash the two different recoveries, no luck. I can get into bootloader and nothing else. Tried using HBOOT CL99IMG.zip method, but my phone just doesnt accept the roms. Any ideas?

Thankyou, any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Butterfly] marcuscmy:
Any ideas? Anyone? Because all i need to do is to boot into twrp recovery. However, when i try to boot recovery it just says entering recovery, with the htc screen, and stays there forever. Any Suggestions? :( :(
[HTC Butterfly] Kroutnuk:
Did you try "fastboot erase cache" command ?

Try to flash the boot.img included in your rom.zip with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
[HTC Butterfly] marcuscmy:
Yea I did, apparently i got something. I mixed some files from the HTL21 Taiwan zip thingy, with the signed rom. I am able to boot into the os. However once I unlock it it crashes. Recovery still doesnt work :/

Anyways, thanks for the suggestion :D Appreciate it.
[HTC Butterfly] marcuscmy:
UPDATE: Now the phone isn't accepting anything from fastboot :/

It all says FAILED <remote:not allowed>

This is getting nuts lol :rolleyes:
[HTC Butterfly] Kroutnuk:
The fastboot is activated in the settings in your rom ?
[HTC Butterfly] marcuscmy:
Not sure about that, probably no :/ but thats the only rom i can get working

I can see it fastboot devices tho
[HTC Butterfly] marcuscmy:
anyone else? anymore ideas? :/
[HTC Butterfly] marcuscmy:
ok, so I got my phone kinda working. I used the htc butterfly toolkit, somehow flashing the X920e recoveries can make it work. I then restored from my previous backup with twrp, which contains system, data, boot. but when i boot into the system, it says loading widget, everything works fine for a while, then it suddenly crashes. I have tried restoring the system with only system and boot without data, still no luck. any ideas?? i have attached my log

any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] madmajd:
Hello everyone,

I picked up a 2nd hand white Note 2 I317M, Canadian variant, with the intent of using with Mobilicity, which uses AWS 1700 bands. So, after I got it, I applied this mod to enable AWS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2068041 . Unfortunately, even after flashing the QCN file, the phone did not detect Mobilicity. I rooted the phone and installed skynote 8 ROM then flashed the QCN file to unlock the AWS bands, it still didnt detect Mobilicity. I then followed this guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2026569 and installed a T-mobile ROM, then flashed the QCN file, and it still didnt detect Mobilicity. The only networks it shows are CDN ROAMING (aka Rogers), TELUS, and some other network I cant remember. I even downgraded to stock 4.1.1 and applied the QCN, with no luck. I have two friends who have Canadian i317M Note 2s, with the AWS QCN patch applied, and both of them are using them on Mobilicity and Wind with no issues whatsoever. Does anyone have any idea whats going on here? Please help

Thanks!

EDIT: Also want to mention that earlier today when I had Skynote running, the phone connected automatically to Mobilicity after leaving it by itself for a long while. However, it couldnt call or do anything, and signal strength was very bad. After I did a reboot, the phone wouldnt find Mobilicity anymore
