simplest way is to open system folder of 1 zip and put all stuff of system folders of other zip into that zip and then flash. EASY.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rofl022:
Is this working, even there are separate folders in each zip-file?

[Android Apps and Games] Apocaliptic:
Hi to everybody. I'm new to the android scene, 3 months ago I didn't had a smartphone, and Nexus 4 was my first smartphone and the first android phone. I didn't know nothing about android and application development on such platform. In just one week I started to create an application for android using phonegap with eclipse. The application was just for fun. It was easy to create. The name of the application is Plober, just a media organizer for youtube videos organized in various categories with a search function inside the app. As a backend software I used wordpress. I have tested it only on nexus 4, I don't have other devices to test it out. It should display very well on tablets too. So please if you want to test it on other devices, tablets and phones and give your thoughts on it. Now is just a phonegap app, I will start to make it into a native app if people feedbacks will be positive. But please don't leave a negative comment on google play store or rate it low. Just leave your comments in this thread. If something is wrong with the application after testing I will make changes or take it away from the play store based on your feedbacks.

The google play link of the app is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zotmedia.plober

It is compatible with android version: 4.0 and up

Thank you
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] xBaSiikz:
So I got my HTC One yesterday. It's really nice and snappy. But I was wondering about battery life and replacement. Do you guys know if the batteries are durable? Im rooted so I'd hate to have to unroot and flash to stock and all that over again. I still have time to switch to the S4 but I'm just not sure, the removable battery is really the only thing going for it to me.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gk1984:
The One uses a lithium polymer battery which is known to hold its capacity longer than traditional lithium ion batteries - I'm referring to lifespan not per charge. I'm not sure how much longer. I had my Evo 3D which used lithium ion and less capacity for the years. It still lasted me a full day just fine.

So far with the One, I get a full day's use and go to bed with around 50% left. I'm not worried at all.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br1naryc0de:
Okay, forgive me for being "that" newbie, but I have a laundry list of things that I need answers for regarding my Nexus 4. Because not only am I new to the Nexus line, I am new to Android all together. And even newer to a rooted Android. So, could anyone help me out with these items? Your support is greatly appreciated!

------ My music folder has disappeared in the file path. I like to use Android File Transfer on my Mac to manually put my songs and other media on my phone. But one day, it just randomly disappeared. It was always under /storage/emulated/0 and now it just randomly doesn't exist. Yet, the music that I synced at earlier times still plays in the music app!

------ My direct OTA update from the mother ship will not install. I am well overdue for 4.2.2 because it just sits as a reminder in my status bar list. I go to "Restart and Install", but I get an error message when the poor little Android is being opened up with the gears sticking out. Here is how I go about it: 1) Click Restart and Install, at the top reads: "Install Untrusted Package? THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE", 2) go down to --Yes - Install untrusted zip, some log code runs at the bottom with words like "Failed..." and "Error" and up at the top it says ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.3, 3) I then go down to Install update from SD Card (because I imagine that's where it would be when it finishes downloading, right?), 4) I then select --- apply /sdcard/update.zip and confirm it, then I'm back to step #2.

------ ROMs: Where do go for them, how do I install them, and how do I manage them? I just wanna do stuff like change the lock screen animation and basic UI tweaks.

------ My signal will frequently drop out on me completely. I am on AT&T's network, and it seems like every chance it gets the signal dies (bars go grey). Rebooting will usually perform a quick fix. Is this due to the root? Or does AT&T hate that I'm unlocked on their network?

------- Finally, battery drain. I barely get half a day on my battery just doing general tasks like texting, calling, Email, etc. Is this also from the root?

Thank you guys so much! I'm so sorry about all this!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweaked:
Holy Run on sentences......

1st you should never have rooted. You don't understand it, you don't use it, you have no idea why you are rooted.

I won't help you with installing tweaks and hacks and roms because. You Don't understand it.

2. You can't get the OTA because you are rooted and I bet you have a modified recovery....

3.Battery doesn't care about your root. ATT doesn't care as long as you are paying your bills.

If I was you, I'd read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183555, everything in it. Then I would read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183555 again.

Good luck.
[Networking] voodude:
I'm using an XDA T-Mobile PPC (SX-56 ATT unlocked with 4.01.16 and Radio ver 6.25.02).

I wanted to see if anyone had the same problem and can help getting me back on WAP. Currently not signed up for any data plans, but using the GPRS WAP. Been unable to connect to the internet since last Weds. Antennna confirms that GPRS is connected from the signal using the the standard TM configuration from this site. IE hangs and eventually times out with a page not found. When the handheld is in the cradle, IE connects to the internet without problems.

Prior to this downtime it's been pretty solid, accessed as expected and never had this issue before. Did a hard reset to rebuild, but not fixed, however did notice the network search has recently been slow. Not sure some changes happened since TM stores started receiving the HP6315.

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

TIA
[Networking] auburnham:
T-Mobile had blocked access for a while, but this morning on my way to work, I got some email on my XDA! I'm writing this now on my XDA, GPRS connection, and I haven't gotten a data plan. So maybe they are allowing "free WAP" access again. I am in Atlanla, so it may take longer in other places.
[Networking] cybermud:
I have the same setup (XDA1, former ATT SX-56, now using the SIM card from my t-mobile Blackberry)

I can get voice to work and the connection shows GPRS, but whenever I try to open a web page I am confronted with an authentication dialog. Can anyone offer any advice? I do have the data plan with the Blackberry...maybe that is the problem?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
[Networking] wtharp2:
I had the same problem when I tried to "borrow" my wife's sim from her blackberry. It has something to do with the way they set up blackberries... I believe either they access the internet differently than other phones, or their data plans are structured differently or some combination of that.

I hope that helps...

My impression or actually greatly increased noise in photos taken in Superior Auto with .253 FW?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
Very likely due to the fact they removed some of the aggressiveness from the camera noise reduction
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fer2503:
Yes i noticed the same thing. Very poor quality in superior auto in Photo with not good light
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invinciblervd:
+1
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
Exactly! Worsened the quality of the photos!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ame123:
I get better photo quality in night shots using superior auto..certainly I get very low noise after the update..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandaball:
So... complaining about overly aggressive post-processing only brought worse photos :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abd_alazeez2002:
Actually, Sony reduced the shutter speed to increase the light that gets in the camera.

In. 253 fw taking pics is slower than before.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ame123:
It was on superior auto...no manual settings at all..even I was amazed with quality with sup auto
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aresmar:
In low light if there is no noise that means there is overly used denoise filters! Sony got that and fixed it.

There will be noise in low light it is the nature of this technology not something you can escape. To clear noise you depend on denoise filters which processes image. Sony's auto mode was a mess before now it is back to normal.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naga.nino:
This looks just awesome. People are full of crap, .253 fw update did a great job.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
Low lights = high ISO = More noise.

If we lower the shutter speed than ISO can be lower that means less noise.

But lowering the shutter speed result in blurry photos,and In this case people will start to cry again and will start talking about the camera is not doing a sharp pics.

Conclusion use the Normal Mode and tweak the settings for your taste,they are here for a reason ;)

If you are more than an amateur in photography than you should've known all this.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
do this...normal mode, iso to 400, flash auto...this force your camera to not use 1600 iso which cause noise. you can still get decent pic out of 400 with flash.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
Exactly what has been mentioned here, Sony has made a big difference to the quality of the photos, I used normal mode as the results are on par now with many other point and shoot cameras. And with regards to the camera using superior auto, we should be very happy with this, because I have not seen a camera yet that uses Superior Auto that is not crap with it's output, all have stupid amounts of noise reduction

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] blarg:
argh! Well THAT didn't take long. My S4 fell about 14" onto the floor and the glass shattered the day I got it. Putting aside for the moment how disappointed I am that the phone failed the most basic of drop tests (I've dropped every smartphone I've ever owned multiple times from greater heights and this is the first one that broke...and so easily).

I decided to attempt to repair the glass so I ordered a replacement glass kit and went for it. The repair itself was fairly straightforward and pretty much just like the S3.

After getting the whole thing back together I noticed that when I do a screen wipe to remove fingerprints (applying a bit of pressure to the screen) I get a bubble in the center of the screen...like it's sticking to the digitizer/LCD screen below. The kit came with a small suction cup which I can use to pull the glass away from the digitizer and the bubble goes away. It seems to have gotten better from yesterday to today - it no longer sticks during normal use, only during heavy wiping.

So...can anyone give me some direction here? Will it just dry out and take care of itself? Should I take the screen off and clean the LCD again? Should I try using several layers of adhesive to increase the gap between the glass and LCD/digitizer?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] eskomo:
Honestly I'd call the company and ask them...this shouldn't be happening and if it were me, I'd get a replacement. Then again I always carry insurance. Best buy is free screen replacement.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] blarg:
I got my phone from Sprint...the insurance has a 30-day grace period before it goes into effect and a $200 deductible for broken screens. I cancelled it.

The guy said he'd be more than happy to send me another screen...I just want to make sure it's not something I did. This screen is OEM, but of course there is no glue between the LCD and glass after the replacement.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] eskomo:
I didn't know there was a 30day grace for replacements. This must be new. I've had my phone replaced before 30 days after I bought a phone before. And screen insurance replacements are $100. Just did one not to long ago. This is why I only by from Best buy now. I make them price match Sprint.com and then buy insurance through them at the discounted rate if you pay up front. No deductible on anything and only thing they don't insure is lost or stolen.

But back to the original problem... If the suction cup tool doesn't fix it then you can try to clean it off and redo it again before send it back for another one. Just not sure why its sticking like that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] GiantJay:
Here is one option, but this is why I buy my phones from Best Buy and get their Geek Squad protection.Unlimited replacements and no deductible. I had to replace my screen when I had my S3 a month ago through Sprints insurance Assurion and it cost $150. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPXVnTlrqeo

Hi - new to all this so please bear with me. I have an Archos 101 g9 250gb model. I updated all the stock firmware and as you may guess found so many problems with the tablet after upgrading to the latest that the tablet became almost unusable. So i did a bit of research and decided to try and root it. I downloaded the SDE files and installed them no problem. I then downloaded the rooted archos firmware - 3 files to be extracted and copied over to the archos, but here was the problem, when i tried to copy the extracted files a dialogue box pops up telling me that i only have 299mb available and the files to transfer are bigger - where has all my gb's of space gone??? I went to the recovery menu and formatted my archos but it still only shows up as being 299mb even when linked to my laptop in 'my computer' !!!

Please help someone as i am going round in circles and not finding a solution.

Thanks in advance.:)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julle131:
Hello, and welcome to XDA

You are trying to install it wrong. I know it sounds logical to try and do it as upgrade, but SDE loads the image from your flash memory.

Restart your tablet back to stock. If you did not remove android kernel, normal restart is only thing required.

We need to use ADB to move the file, so download android sdk, or adb only zip if you find that somewhere. Then enable usb debugging on settings->developer. then install these drivers http://www.archos.com/support/support_tech/updates_adb.html?lang=en. You might have to open device manager and force the drivers to install. http://www.ehow.com/how_6299394_force-windows-use-different-drivers.html

Now move archos.ext4.update to the same folder with adb.exe (it is in platform-tools in android SDK), open commandline and cd to directory with adb.exe

as an example, android SDK is in C:\android, you do

cd \
cd android
cd platform-tools

And then you move the archos.ext4.update to /data/local with following command:

adb push archos.ext4.update /data/local/android.ext4

notice how i dropped the update? It works better for me without the update in the end, but that is just personal experience. Then restart your device to recovery, go to sdk and choose: Remove Android Kernel. After that, Flash Kernel & Initramfs. It opens a new driver. copy there zImage & initramfs.cpio.lzo. Then press ok and device and wait for a moment. After that you can just reboot. Now you should have root.
