[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alfoldem:
Thats some good info there, cheers!

The only point im not sure on is if there is any compatibility issues with using phoenix rom and assasins theming?

Although I suppose that's what back ups are for :)

Thank you
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aloush5592:
Sure..you're good to go...i use phoenix v 11 too ....and themed my rom ... it is 100% compatible to any rom using tw 4.1.2 sammy rom. but be advice...before you flash anything to your rom...make a nandroid backup.

If there is anything else....feeel free to ask .

Sharing is caring.

Does anybody knows if the side transparent plastic strips can be replaced and what is the procedure.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDroid8:
Surely it would damage the structural integrity and void your warranty and waterproofing if you did it yourself?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonX199:
Yes you can replace it, I saw it on some online webshops a while ago.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitaci:
Yes I saw them selling in some online shops but i'm wondering if there are only bonded do the water resistant frame as decorative strips or I need to disassembly the phone in order to replace them. I'm asking because I dropped my phone and there is dent on the upper strip.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] propov:
You can change it.This side stripes is only for decoration and is not part of the body.

Gahh i been looking everywhere for the volume side strip! I bought that one you linked but it did not have the strip for the volume side :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4N4MK1:
some one must sell them

i am in the same dilemma. I bought a pack of side strips in black, from China. Took ages to arrival only to be left with one side strip not being changed.

The one that people are after is the VOLUME SIDE STRIP!

Someone know a retailer who sells a full set? Share please! :fingers-crossed:

My local phone repair shops are so unhelpful.

Thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4N4MK1:
I have a solution. I bought a DUMMY Z1 £12 on eby and took the side strip from that. Same quality and size! Fits like a glove.

I took the old glue of that one with degrease, and got hold of some double side film. carefully cut it out in strips to put on.

All Sorted. :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nidhal AKA the king:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] flu13:
Granted, I've only had the phone for 4 days, and I'm still learning, but here are some things I'd like to do that I'm guessing are probably not default settings. Are there any tweaks/mods to help me?

1) Remove "Sprint" from my lock screen.

2) Prevent the screen from turning on once fully charged. I have it set to never turn the screen off when charging, so this makes the screen stay on forever.

3) Keep the screen from dimming quite so much when staying awake while charging. I plug the phone in while in the car to keep the screen awake, but then it dims down to where I can't see a darn thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] CCallahan:
What state is your device in now? Are you rooted? What rom are you running?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] flu13:
Yeah, I guess that would have been useful information. Sorry.

Rooted with ForceRom 2.1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] CCallahan:
Np...not sure about the last 2 on your list. However, it looks like ForceRom does not have Xposed Framework integrated so might try installing it and Nottach Xposed Mod and this will not only allow you to change the carrier message on the lockscreen but do all sorts of other cool stuff.

As always make sure you do a nandroid before flashing Xposed just in case. I don't see you having a problem but never know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] optimummind:
Yupz, what he said. The Xposed framework + the Nottach module can fulfill your #1 and #2 wishes.

As for wish #3, you can probably override that "feature" using an app like E-Robot. It's like Tasker but free and easier to use.

Edit: I just checked my E Robot options and you can create a rule so that when you connect an external power supply like your charger, you can set the screen brightness level whatever percentage you want. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] flu13:
Thanks to both of you. Xposed and Nottach were next on my list of things to do, anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] flu13:
Hmmm....

I've installed the Xposed framework and the Nottach module, and nothing seems to have any effect. I keep getting that warning that it's not made for my phone and then nothing happens. I've tried changing my status bar color, clock color, carrier label, and others. Regular reboot and hot reboot.

What's up with that?

FYI, I'm running ForceRom. Could that be interfering?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Inline:
Did you got into the X posed Framework app and enable the Nottach module, you have to like check it to enable it in the modules section.

And also when you open up the various options and that little Window pops up with the color wheel and etc, there is a little on/off switch to enable that mod individually as well - you could be setting the color and rebooting but if you don't enable that specific mod nothing will happen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] flu13:
Ha! That was it. Thank you!

ETA: Should the preview button actually do anything? All it does is seems to nudge my color value slightly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Inline:
No problem, and I actually think the preview button is for if you were typing out the color like, ffffff0, it'll show you that color you typed out, that's why when you click preview it always goes back to the original color you started with before you used the wheel to change it.

I've been using an Xperia Z for a month or ++, Well, It works pretty well and stands out from the crowd with its water resistant feature !! I'm in Sri Lanka and 4G - FDD (Band 3) deployed by Dialog, they said me to update my sim to receive LTE Signal, so I went to their store and bought a LTE Sim(Difference is Ordinary sim is 32KB & LTE is 64KB doesn't matter).... they told me it will get about one hour to activate LTE, so use it we will be activating it... oh yeah after one hour I could see it through a Manual network search for network.... but there is a problem with the phone there is a coverage drop with my phone. It works only after switching on the phone. but I could manually search for network. It doesn't even work with GSM(tried every combination) afterwards what could be the problem ?

I am on SlimCM And I really love the Stock Android like feeling it provides but also miss BE. xLoud, Xperia's Camera and other goodies.

I really don't wish to switch back to Xperia Stock ROM/Customized ROM's just because of these.

I visit XDA daily and see that new ports are being made for Stock/Customized ROMs but CM ROMs do not get these goodies.

I wanted to know, Is it impossible for CM to use these goodies like BE, xLoud, Xperia Camera etc. for itself.

I really hate the stock camera that CM ROM's provide us and wish to have Xperia's Camera.

While seeing pics in gallery, I always wish for BE (Bravia Engine i.e.).

To clear it up:

12W11

12 - Year, in this case 2012

W - Symbol for 'Week'

11 - Number of week

So, in your case, your phone was manufactured on 38th week in 2011. That is earlier than 2012, which means, you can unlock your phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goblind:
Hi, I bought a phone in the states, apparently it was unlocked but I guess it's not.

It's rooted, it has busybox installed.

I've installed the rom pa_n7000-3.56-27MAI2013-063155.zip (paranoid android) and after doing it, the phone asks for the sim unlock code which I have not. I've read plenty of threads and Galaxy S Unlock seems the way to go. I followed the steps but it wouldn't work.

Step 1: Save actual efs folder? after clicking yes i get the messate "One efs save exists, for made new save, delete or rename it." I click Ok and then i head on to step 2.

Step 2. Sim Unlock: change lock-bytes for unlock.. Sim unlock? click yes and after a while the phone goes black (not turned off, just like when it's idled, So I press a key, and it shows the Galaxy_S Unlock saying "Done: If the signal work: use step 3, if the signal don't work: restart your phone and use step 3. (Some of the times I've tried it, the program goes black and says "Galaxy S Unlock is not responding.. wait /stop)

Honestly I don't know if the signal worked, but I've tryied both options and still, everytime time I reboot the phone it asks for the sim unlock code.

Any idea that I could try for fixing the issue? Thanks a lot.

Is it possible to type / send / receive SMS message on my PC screen whilst my XDA2 is synchronised and in its docking station?
[Networking] themarxx:
SMSing using your PC keyboard and Monitor

While Synced you can use the following programs to send SMS using the PC.

1) Jeyo Mobile Extender (www.jeyo.com) highly recommended. It is cheap works flawlessly and allows your SMSes to be stored in the Outlook folders. Just manage your SMSes the exact same way you would your emails.

2) Pocket Controller Professional (download trial from Pocketgear.com)

Concept is similar to the original PPC-Remote from MS, but a gazillion times better

You get to control the PPC remotely from your desktop. Better yet if you have bluetooth on your PC.

PERFECT for geeking around with your PPC sans stylus.

And for Aesthetics, it has skins of most PPCs that you can download and the hard buttons work!

I know P990, SU660 and SU880 can't be bricked tanks to nvflash. I am wondering is there any other phone which are as much unbrickable as the above mentioned phones.
[LG Optimus 2x] tryin:
You can use nvflash with every tegra devices...

:cool:
[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
You almost right, but optimus 4x can't be used with nvflasn because it has secure boot key and without the key you can't use nvflash, sadly :(. There is htc one x as well, but if you enter in to apx mode you can't come out of it. The only devices which has working nvflash like our p990 is asus's tegra tablets.

Actually, I am looking for my next phone, becase optimus 2x is getting old. Since I love experiment with phones I possible will brick my new phone. That's why I am looking for unbrckeable phones. asus tablets are unbreckable but they are not phones :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Mynix:
Yeah I'm also looking for a newer unbrickable phone..

What about qualcomm processor's phones ? Does anyone knows if they are easy to hardbrick and if they have an equivalent of Nvflash ?
[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
well If you have qualcomm phone and your partition layout get messed up during a bad flash you hardbricked your phone. Unbricking qualcomm phone is realy hard. You need special hardwares and softwares which you have to buy and you have to disassemble the phone completly then you can unbrick hardbricked qualcomm phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] tryin:
The LG Nexus 4..???
[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
I don't really know what you mean by ''lg nexus 4..??''

nexus 4 is a great phone and it is true that it is unbrickeable if you have a riff box. I think it is hard to brick any android phone. If everything goes right. I mean that you don't flash galaxy s4 cm rom to nexus 4, or your computer dont get bluescreen during flashing rom, or the electricity from the house don't go out during flashing rom.

If the bootloader and the partition layout don't get damaged you are fine. CWM is always there for you and the flashing tools. But if the bootloader or partition layoutn damaged you are in a big problem

We are lucky with our p990 or su660 because we don't need any special hardware like riff box or spending 20$ to a unknown guy, who probably has a riffbox, to unbrick the hardbricked phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] michiel1995:
That's one of the reasons I bought the o2x.

Whatever happens, nvflash is there for you. I hope more phones will get this kind of options, this way people don't get afraid to flash roms, because everything that goes wrong can be easily fixed.
[LG Optimus 2x] tryin:
I mean that nexus 4 is made in partnership with LG... .

Even so, thanks for your explanation, i didn't think it was so hard to work with any other kind of smartphone that is not O2x.

Are u sure that we can't use nvflash with any others tegra phone?:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
I can't be 100% sure unless I try myself, but as I read the post about htc one x and optimus 4x it looks like they can't use it, or if they even try, then things are just getting worse.

Maybe nexus 7 has working nvflash. I was reading topics about that. So they were able to read back partitions with nvflash, but there is no nvflash rom for nexus 7 like to our optimus 2x nvflash rom. I don't know why. Maybe nexus 7 owners don't know how to do that, or it is not possible. Sadly nexus 7 is a tablet and not aphone :(
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
I think "unbrickable" can apply to most new Android phones out there as long as there is an unbricking tool released (i.e. kdz flasher for LGs).

As long as your power button, volume buttons, and USB port are still working, it's more or less guaranteed you can recover from a bad flash. If any one of those break (especially the USB port), then even NVFlash won't save you!
[LG Optimus 2x] micko9854:
I think most of xperia phones are unbrickable with ulocked bootloader..I thought i have bricked my z1 when i restored ta partition on custom rom with custom kernel and phone wont boot no recovery either then i just used flashtool and reflashed stock rom with reseting customization and saved my xperia phone..And i think only way to brick xperia is to flash rom with sony PC companion on unlocked bootloader

Hello everyone,

So today I received my new i9505, after unsimlocking the phone, I successfully flashed the latest CyanogenMod 10.1. But as I notice some scratch on the side of the phone, I have decided to return the phone. So I had to reflash the phone to official firmware.

I reflashed the official French firmware. Everything was ok until the reboot. The phone stuck on "SAMSUNG" screen and does nothing. And everytime I tried to shut the phone down with power button, the phone retart and keep stucking on the "SAMSUNG" logo; I had to remove the battery to shut down the phone everytime.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] frostedunit:
The best kernel is which ever one works best for you.

Everyone uses their phone differently and every phone has minute manufacturing differences which make the best kernel for me not the best kernel for you.
