[Xperia Z General] :
Would be nice... but i would not take a refurb phone which came back from customer. I purchased a brand new unit, and the fault is not my fault. You probably have no idea how many times those phones been wiped flashed wiped flashed during a simple repair and refurb process. " i write a process down"

((arrive from customer > wipe > setup activation > qc to determinate the prob))

(( *tech* > wipe > setup activation > repair > flash new fw > qc > wipe > ))

((*software* > setup activation > flash new fw > qc > wipe))

((*rf test* > setup activation > live call > rf test > guess what > wipe))

((*final live test with nfc , bt, gps, 3g 4g lte etc....> and wipe again))

and that's only, if the repair goes well @ 1st time . If fail @ some point there will by more wipe and flashing be done....:silly:

Lets just wear out the flash IC shall we????

And most of the units comes back after a few months, mostly with faulty software Y not !?... can you guess Y?
[Xperia Z General] douglam:
So pretty much says that it's a design fault and it's just a matter of time before the panels start to lift. Even if just sitting there most of the time.
[Xperia Z General] alexpraga:
Yes, so it seems; although it can happen that the manufacturing process be involved as well. Speculation : If the initial adjustment of the NFC springs is not correct for some of the units only, it may happen that the problem remains without symptoms for others. In any case, it's a design problem.

I also guess that many XPZ users haven't noticed the lifted back yet...

[Xperia Z General] leroy1703:
I got my phone less than a month ago. And still I experience the lifted back. Assuming the phone is very recently manufactured (is there a way to check?), it appears that Sony has done nothing to fix the problem.

So I'm wondering if it's even worth the trouble to get your phone repaired or get a new device, since it's pretty likely that it'll happen again...

PS. they still haven't replied to my email.

Okay, long story short, I've been having a nightmare with my phone. So I did this, and then installed gingerbread, and the excellent CM7.2 mod.

BUT, because of the AT&T froyo backup file I installed using Roadkil disk image, my phone is now locked to AT&T.

If I can't unlock the phone, or find a different (unlocked) froyo backup file, I can't get in touch with this awesome girl I've got a date with tomorrow.

Please help me get my phone working again, so that I can go on this date!

Try installing official GB(if you have the u8800pro) and then any custom ROM you want(looks like you have the pro and used the -51 method). And for Christ's sake please post questions to Q&A forum -.-'

You can unlock the phone with the u8800-51 upgrade to gb tutorial.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trionix:
So, the phone is fixed (kinda). I used the official gingerbread and that unlocked it. It's still got an AT&T logo when it boots, and it's definitely a U8800 pro. But, it works fine with cm7.2, so it's all good.

And the date went extremely well, so thanks for that. :D

Hi,

i like to use my HTC Legend as VOIP phone at home via wireless lan only.

So i don't need the telephone functions like UMTS, GSM and so on.

So my question is how can i disable the telephone functions permanently (i don't like to use the airplane mode and i don't like to see the info for missing sim card at the home display).

At the moment i have installed the CyanogenMod. Does anyone know another good Mod or has a good idea to realize that?

Hello all.

I got this phone, a month ago, for a few hours to fidddle.

Never made myself to ask following on the forum :

When it starts, it says there is no network of course.

To install roms and all that, I read that I should get past the setup and turn on debugging or something like that.

But I can not get past the screen.

I remember reading around few hours but I couldn get anywhere before turning something in the menu...which I could not get to

Can I flash something to get it removed ?

Sorry it all looks uncertain now...but maybe someone had similar problem ....

i think you need param file.

can you remember when flashing china firmware if there was a param.bin file flashed in odin?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omar-tdm:
china firmware flash it by odin (it only one file and name was (I9500ZCUAME2_I9500CHNAME2_I9500ZCUAME2_HOME.tar.md5))

so no param.bin file flashed in odin
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
yes i know. but inside the HOME.tar.md5 there are files (system, recovery,modem...). you can see them by open it with 7zip. usually param file is responsible of download mode (picture) (odin mode) and usually is not included in the home.tar.md5. but im wondering if param file is included in china firmware, for that you have odin mode in chinese language.

so im suggesting to flash param file for a no chinese firmware. (i will attach it)

Thx sir. Now everything is clear... It is the sboot.bin (bootloader) who is responsible of this chinese language. If you see another stock firmware, you will not find that file. Unless samsung begin to include it .

So you must flash a sboot.bin from a no chinese firmware.

If someone can extract it from his phone it would be great. Or search the net.

Edit: here http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...t-recovery-process&catid=57:how-to&Itemid=104 there is a download of a tar file that include sboot.bin file for i9500. Flash this tar file in odin. ( do it at your own risk)

I guess it's just something stupid that really isn't important. I do need to use a password tho because I can't trust guys at work when I leave my phone in the truck and it's pretty sad :/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_sh4q:
Hi All,

My device is Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N700 using Jelly Bean 4.1.2. (not rooted). Before I was using ICS.

My problem is that my USB storage (internal memory) is not recognized (0.00B/0.00B). My system storage and SD card is fine though. If I plug my phone to my PC it also can only recognizes the external SD Card. I tried to mount SD Card from settings > storage > USB Storage > mount SD card, but it just won't do anything.

I've googled and looked within forums and read something about the different path address: ICS (/sdcard) and JB (/sdcard0). Most of the people that encountered the similar problems were rooted. And I'm such a beginner couldn't understand the explanations. I've been trying to solve this problem for nearly a week. I couldn't use my camera, download images etc.

Can anyone help and try to explain the solutions for a noob like me? I really couldn't understand most of the talks about this similar topic.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racingkoala:
I had the same problem as you. I read somewhere that if you re-install ICS and then JB the problem is fixed. I never got around to try this because in the meantime and when trying to debug / fix it I ended up "bricking" my phone...

If you want to give it a try, you need the ADB drivers in your PC, ODIN and the appropriate ROMs that you can get from Sam mobile.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] flu13:
I just discovered that such things even exist, and I'm intrigued by the idea. You just tap the tag with the phone and it can do stuff? What sort of stuff? How much stuff per tag? Do I need specific types of tags for the S4? I'm sort of geeked up by the idea of making my phone do stuff like it's magic.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dj_aj:
I myself am just getting started with nfc tags. The 1 thing I've read about most is to automate a few tasks, for example when you get in your car and tap the nfc tag you can have the phone turn off wifi, turn on mobile data, turn on bluetooth etc.

I currently have 1 tag that I leave on the dash of my car and it is set to turn off wifi and turn on gps and bluetooth. I also have programmed the phone to say "welcome to the bat mobile"! (just to test it out). Also, on tapping on the same tag again when I'm home it does the opposite but says "welcome home".

The Galaxy S4 will work with NTAG203 nfc tags and not the older mifare 1k tags, as far as I know.

To get started you'll need:

1) NFC Capable phone

2) NFC tags. (I got some NTAG203 from eBay. 5 tags for $5 incl. shipping).

3) An app such as NFC Task launcher. I find this app to be the best and for some reason I am able to write more data to tags than for example the Samsung Tectile app.

Once you have the app installed and the tags. It's actually quite easy to get going.

There could be commercial uses for these tags if you own a business. You can program your company's website/address/phone and place them for marketing. People who have nfc capable phones can then tap on this tag to get the information.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] RobertR3750:
Very interesting. It sounds like one could, for example, place a tag on a phone holder and have it launch Google Navigator. What would be even better is being able to execute a command after the app launches. That way, it would automatically ask you to speak the destination.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] flu13:
Sounds pretty cool.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] torroa:
ifcnece popularity

I have never used NFC tags either, coming from Apple devices. You mention that you have a tag in your car holder. Does this mean that the navigation app etc starts when you place the phone in the holder, and then quit those apps when you remove the phone from the holder? Or do you have to remove the phone and and then touch the NFC tag once again to deactivate the navigation app and such?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] flu13:
From what I've read, you're right. I also found this thread discussing the differences and actually mentioning another type that works with the S4.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Robogar:
Yes the navigation app starts when you place the phone in the holder, however if you are talking about using the same NFC tag, the app will not quit when the phone is removed.

One NFC tag can only perform preset function(s) all at once, in sequential order. So if the NFC Tag is set to program the Navigation App to start, then programming the next action to close the same app will not do you any good.

To find out the types of functions a NFC Tag can be programmed with, download "NFC Task Launcher" from Google Play and click on "My Tasks".
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] flu13:
But you can use apps to set the tag to be a toggle, right? So tap it once, it turns on navigation. Tap it again to turn it off? Or is that just for "togglable" settings like wifi on/off or bluetooth on/off?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dj_aj:
Yes. Applications can be set to launch on one tap and close on the other. These would need to be set as two different actions when you program the nfc tag.

Wifi/Bluetooth/GPS/Mobile Data etc can be set to toggle so you don't need to create separate entries and that will spare the very little data you can write to those nfc tags.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lambstone:
Get Tasker. It's worth it.

You can simply program NFC tags to run a specific Task in tasker.

An example of this usage would be as such....

Get Tasker

Set NFC tag to Run "Task XXX"

Place NFC tag/sticker in Car Dock

Dock Phone to Car

NFC toggles the start of "Task XXX"

In this case... "Task XXX" may do this

Set to loud speaker mode

When receiving calls, auto speakerphone (Couple this with the Wave to answer call gesture)

When receiving texts, read out messages

Auto launch Google Maps and plot a route home

instead of me trying to explain it, i think its better you watch a few video demos on my various play lists. http://www.youtube.com/user/veryannoyingname/videos?sort=dd&tag_id=&view=1 At present there are 53 public play lists sorted by device or feature and a few more private ones which i will make public at a later date probably.

see the NFC play list and Tasker play list and home automation play lists and a few more are there in my couple of how to play lists as well. I frequently update my play lists so check them out at a later date too. Subscribers will be alerted automatically when i upload videos or update play lists.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] JustSueMe:
As I understand the nfc tag is used to store data that a.nfc.phone can read.

The stored data is to issue a command such as call contact, turn wifi on ect..

--*** Be Warned ***--

!!! Always turn nfc off when you go out as I'm sure people have realised this and you might walk past a person with a nfc tag in his pocket, then your phone may start doing unwanted acts such as uploading your account data. !!!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
NFC tags with over very short distances, see my video uploads on YouTube linked below.

unless the NFC tags were in the other chaps back pocket and your phone was in your trouser front pocket and you were close enough to be rubbing yourself on the other person's backside even then you would be lucky to be triggering off any such thing.

you actually demo such a hack working on another person's phone. I know there are a couple of such videos on YouTube. But seriously can anyone show a demo of such a hack working. If it did then all your credit cards that come with NFC on them now would be pillaged left right and centre by crooks and NFC tags would not come pre installed on credit and debit cards now by many major banks. Don't you think that would have tested out for such hacks on the nfc enabled credit and debit cards and NFC enabled Google phones with Google wallet features.
