Hello everyone,

I have been looking for quite a while for a water resistant case which I could mount on a motorcycle handlebar.

The thing is I would need a GPS for my long rides but my N4 doesn't like the rain very much, and I'd rather have it in a solid case than in a plastic condom as Liquipel or similar items.

Any idea/solution?

Thank you all in advance.

I have been unable to find a mod or a rom with call recording for the GS3 in T-Mobile. I have seen it available for Verizon only. Secondly i have tried Apps for this and the one i tried said my phone did not support up-link or down-link recording only Mic recording which required using speaker phone and well it didnt work for me.

So if thier is a mod or if you know of a rom that has this i would love to know i have searched yes and I fount nothing specific enough so as it should be my last resort is to ask everyone if they know.

So in Short I am looking for

A flash able mod

A Rom

or

An Application

That lets me record calls.

Also my Sig may not yet be updated i am running Hyperdrive ROM RLS14 with stock kernel.

Last but most of all Thank you for your help and for any devs reading this THANK YOU for your HARD work so others can enjoy it. I certainly do and it is Greatly appropriated. (is my nose brown? j/k)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
The deTmobilized ROM has call recording built into it, you might try that one. :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
We had this on several ICS builds. I'm sure it can be done, just someone has to try it. It's gonna be out of my league I already know!

As for apps, look into ?skvalex? Call recorder. He has a thread here on xda and several ways of implementing it. I believe it should work on our s3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BuLLeT_PrOOf_wAlleTz:
Xposed module tweakbox. Has the option. Tried it and works. I'm on stockorama v2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BeatnikBandit:
First sorry for posting in the wrong section.

Lastly Thank you for your reply's, the deTmobileized Rom was what got me interested as yes i used it with ICS and it worked flawlessly running wicked rom.

I loaded up deTmobileized Rom and i had several problems, i could not multi window to work properly I probably gave up on it too soon as my problem with the multi window was that it would not let me add newly installed apps to the menu. For me that sucked.)

I think ill make a backup of my current setup and flash it and see if i can get multi window to work the way i want.

Cheers

Its possible the all app enabled MW wasn't installed. I'm not aware if its an Aroma option but you can check the mega mods thread for the all-apps enable MW. Its in the Applications and Mods forum.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Call recording is an option in the mods of aroma installer
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Looks like Project Goosh had xposed built in.

Z999 I think has it natively.

Personally I prefer the native kind (at least when I used it on ICS). No extra frameworks, and more importantly Samsung had actually built this in, but it was disabled because it was too many places have all different laws regarding its use.

I imagine its the same in JB.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BeatnikBandit:
Well Z99 works fine natively but is lackluster in a rom a want. I remembered hyper drive has xposed installed in the rom so i installed the call recording module (not tweak-box) i think they would work the same but i have no need for other options i simple installed the module and boom enabled the call recording no problem once call connects record button appears and saves recorded calls to sounds folder easy peasy (i spent more time messing around than i had too) I had trouble trying goosh then adding xposed as the record module did not work in all I am pleased all i had to do was simply add the xposed module. (too bad more roms don't just come with it just to make it easy but being a dev is not easy so i understand esp if it was that easy for me to fix) It would have been a lot more work tweaking z999 than adding a single module to hyperdrive. For me Deviant Dev puts out some nice roms. Goosh has some great potential if they add the xposed framework installer and use an aroma installer. Other than that i am happy and i thank you all for your help!

I have been rooting for about a year now, albeit largely with Samsung devices via Odin and CWM Recovery. I now have a Verizon Motorola RAZR HD (xt925) and have been unsuccessful with unlocking the bootloader. I decided to use Safestrap with it, and tried to load Eclipse-v5.0-build2-xt926, reportedly compatible with my XT925... now i am stuck with this screen:

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darbness:
Easy fix,

download what ever version of the system software you had on it previously.

Flash it in fast boot mode.

?????

Profit.

Edit: also Verizon RAZRs are xt926 not xt925
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wytdeer:
Phone identified itself as 925... either way, i am unsure where i can find stock software for it and seem to be unable to flash anything from fastboot, because as it turns out, i am code-retarded. definitely profit when this is solved. I can "cd" through dos and get to where fastboot commands are entered and I have even tried to "fastboot recovery recovery.img" but for the life of me, i must be typing the string incorrectly somehow. But I am excellent at following clear-cut directions. i will try to find a stock image...for motorola, it is a .sbf file, right? If i seem stupid, i apologize, i'm not. just not up on all the nomenclature native to adb and fastboot (or linux). Thanks for helping me though.....i need it.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darbness:
Ok,

First thing I want you to do is look on the back of the phone, It will have the model on the lower half of it.

Second thing is to find the official software.

For XT96:

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/vanquish/list.php

For xt925

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/vanquish_u/list.php

Flash the ROM file using RSD Lite.

If it dosnt work:

Make sure you have the moto drivers installed.

open up the .xml file in the rom and remove the "getvar" lines.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darbness:
No, only official roms are packaged like that.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xadro:
You need to have RSDlite at least Version 6 or higher. Also, edit the xml file as stated here.

If your phone is up & running again you can consider going to another rom either with safestrap or by unlocking your BL, installing a recovery and flashing any ROM you like. As stated above you can only flash Stock FW using RSDLite. All other roms can only be applied with either safestrap or CWM Recovery (or similiar).

Did you install the drivers for your phone in the flashtool folders?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RPieter:
Hello Ben,

This I did not read that I had to do this, so no i didn't. From where can I download these drivers? Are these drivers which the phone uses for something, or are they used by Windows before flashing starts?

Thank you.

Pieter
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mharckk:
look at the installation folder of flashtool

example C:\flashtool\drivers\flashtool-drivers

click and choose your phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Look down through that list too. As there are other useful drivers like fastboot etc in there.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RPieter:
Hi guys,

Just tried what you suggested by installing the drivers. But no luck. Still have the same issue as before. Same failure message as in my first post in red. I must say that I was a bit confused which drivers to select to install because there were 3 options:

- Xperia S driver for ICS

- Xperia S, Xperia NX and Xperia acro HD drivers

- Xperia S, Xperia NX and Xperia acro HD drivers for GB

I selected them all,... after I hit install there was a window with a lot of installing, up untill the next line:

Execute: "C:\Users\Pieter\AppData\Local\Temp\Flashtool\dpinst64.exe"

There another window opened in which i had to click next a couple of time and again install. At the end it gave the following message:

Sony (WinUSB)sa0103AdbDeviceClass (3/7/2012 2.0.0010.30011)	Installation failed.

Sony Net (3/7/2013 6.0.6000.16492) Installation failed.

Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications (ggsemc) USB (11/25/2011 3.0.0.0) Installation failed.

After this I went on in the other window until the end of that, rebooted my pc and tried flashtool again, which gave me the exact same error message as in my first post.

What am i doing wrong here?

PS: I also tried it with another usb-cable AND on another PC. Same problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RPieter:
Ok. I was in contact with the support of Sony Xperia. They said I should send the phone back to the factory that they should do the update for me. AND she said that it could be that the problem is related to the fact that I use Ecliple+SDK to put self-made apps on my phone.

Has anybody had the same experience with this? Or does anybody knows what the influence from the app developed in Eclipse can have on the operating system from my phone?

Thanks guys.

As for the case of the digitizer, mine has some parts (lower left) that are not recognizing touch inputs. Will realigning the digitizer cable help? I' d really not want to buy a new one right now as I am quite on a tight budget. Please help. Totally in distress here with my very sickly Play. :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arevyn:
So, first I want to say thanks for this post as it's been invaluable in my working on my own XP.

I'm in the process of changing out the LCD and slide cable and am wondering about versions of the phone and compatibility. On Ebay I'm finding lots of parts listed as being for R800i\R800x\R800a. Very few parts are listed for R800at (which is what I have)

In changing out parts (anything hardware related) what parts are interchangeable and what parts are not? Anyone able to help?

Right now I'm looking at LCD screen and slide cable, but in the future I would like to change out the digitizer (I read the other page about having to possibly roll back to a different kernel) and perhaps other inner workings of the phone as well. I would just like to know what I can use from other models of the XP and what are model specific.

Thanks!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
Just about everything but the chrome back housing is a simple swap. LCD, slide cable, digitizer, camera/earpiece, face buttons, game pad, slide board, front frame, camera, headphone jack, etc. The only parts tied together for compatability are the motherboard and the chrome back housing and that is because it has all the antennas installed in it. It's probably possible to move all the components but I've never even had to take the speakers out and can't speak to the difficulty or possibility for certain. I'm worried that lifting the adhesive films would damiage the antennas inside. As I mentioned in the OP, there are other little parts to move when you compare the two and note the differences. Good luck!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arevyn:
Awesome! Thanks so much.

Have you noticed a difference in an LCD screen with a green cable vs one with an orange cable? I have an orange one in mine, and wasnt sure if its a different part, or just a different batch of screens
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
I am color blind and never took notice but I switched LCD between R800i, R800x, and R800at and they were all compatible. They have no reason to make anything in that half of the phone different, so they don't. :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matfai:
Hey, I've also experience same problems as yours... I just wonder is it the flex cable or digitizer....:confused:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
If only some areas are responsive then I'm pretty sure it's the digitizer. The IC likely encodes the output so that all the raw connections don't need to be extended over the slide cable. IOW, the pins that carry digitizer data probably carry encoded data so that it's fewer pins. This means it would work either all or not at all if the slide cable had anything to do with it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matfai:
Thanks for reply... So, do I have to replace the digitizer or just realigning the cable will help?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
In my experience, cable alignment has also been an all or nothing issue so you probably need to replace the digitizer. It couldn't hurt to realign the digitizer cable first just in case it can avoid an unnecessary expense. That fixed a Cubot C9+ I worked on Saturday (digitizer not working at all) but not the iPhone 4S I worked on yesterday (bottom row of digitizer not responding).

stuck in safe mode after replace slider cable(flex)

Hi i'm writing here in hopes you can help me, i bought and replaced the "flex cable" and it kinda worked, somehow it can only boot in safe mode and back, home and menu buttons on the front is unresponsive (i can use joypad though) i've tried opening it up again to check for loose connectors and i even tried disconnect the cable to the front buttons but safe mode persists, i tried to flash several official ftf images and a custom rom to see if it helped, but also without any luck.

I hope that you can help me.

Thx for a nice indepth post :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
If you are booting in safe mode, that "menu" button is always pressed. My guess is faulty/damaged flex cable. You can try your old flex cable and see can you enter flash/fastboot mode (test to see is back and search button is working)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docsmiley:
Search button is working as intended (also when booted into safe mode) and i can enter flash mode with back button and flash ftf files, back button is just not functional when booted (only on joypad).

I also figured it had to be the flex cable but i thought i was so carefull when mounting it so i didn't thought i damaged it.

The old flex cable didn't give any picture at all, so can't see if it boots into safe mode with that.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
I have received a defective flex cable before so it's possible you have also. In my case it didn't work at all (no picture).

slide flex replacement

hi, its my second time replacing the slide flex cable of my r800i, however this time, my digitizer is unresponsive to the flex i bought, i bought it in the same store where i bought the first one which was perfectly fine before,

my question is does the slide flex cable of xperia play 4G differs to the slide flex cable of the old one xperia play r800i,
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
They are the same. I have also switched then between a "4G" R800at and a R800x. I have also received bad digitizer flex cables that were new. It really is luck of the draw. A lot of replacement parts on eBay are factory seconds, which may have been removed from the production line for good reason. That's why I always order parts in sets of two for anything I know I will need in the future and I always test both. For example, recently I got two iPhone 4S screens and one had the frame installed upside down. Before that I ordered two replacement iPhone 4 30-pin dock replacements and one had a defective microphone. Before that I ordered two iPod touch 2G digitizer/frame assemblies and one didn't work along the left side.

Here I am identifying a couple bad iPhone displays from a lot:

http://youtu.be/TbxzCiGhwPM

I didn't own an iPhone so I had to test them all with the phone the first customer provided.

Edit: Oh! And make sure the problem is not with the digitizer connection under the black plastic cover. Mine works it's way loose all the time and needs to be secured with tape. Even when inserted fully straight and locked, I put it together and find it not working or the display black until I take it back apart and reseat it. It will twist slightly and even the slightest angle affects the connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bomberman27:
Hi Guys,

Recently my USB charging port stopped working. I tried to clean the area and move the pin back up but nothing worked. I ordered 2 spare battery's and an external battery charger. At that point, I was getting 2-3 hours of battery life. Once I did a factory reset on my phone, I began to receive 4-5 hours of battery life, which was okay since I have 3 batteries. I've also ordered the part to fix the USB port.

My guess is that fixing the USB port won't solve the battery usage problem right? I've noticed that if I turn off my phone at 20% battery and turn it back in the morning, the phone is dead, as in battery is being used even when the phone is turned off, which is weird.

Is there any fix to this issue? What would be causing such battery depletion?

Thanks for the help!

how long has this been happening? new issue or recent.

try DLing disable service from play store. allows you to go into each app and turn things off thats running in background.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] My Gnexi:
If device is discharging quickly even when turned off, factory resets, kernels or other software tricks probably can't help. Replacing USB port however sounds useful. It may be damaged in a way that drains battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bomberman27:
its been going on for a month now. The battery life has slowly gone down over the past few months but I don't exactly know when it became so drastic. What's bothering me though is that when I did a full factory reset and nothing was running on my phone, not even google apps only wifi and regular cellular data, I got ~4.5 hours. How does that happen on a new battery? That must be a hardware issue right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bomberman27:
Ah okay, so even if I'm not using the USB port currently, it could be linked to the battery drainage problem?

If you're going to spend money on Battery. I would recommend a ZERO Lemon 7000mAh Battery. It's a little more than $25. But it is well worth it. Yes it's slightly larger than a Stock SGS3 with an OtterBox. But the added bulk is easily forgivable when you can get 3+ days on a charge.

I'm having to make an insurance claim on the above item, and wanted to know what generally happens.

Is it cheaper for the insurance companies to repair the smashed screen, or do they just replace them.

If they repair, are replacement screens available in the UK.

If a replacement, are XDA II I-Mates or M1000 still available, or am I likely to get an upgraded unit ie IIs ?

No prizes for guessing what I'd like to happen...

Cheers
[General Topics] cruisin-thru:
If it has been dropped there is no guarantee that replacing the screen will make it work properly, it is usual for the whole unit to be replaced by insurance, if they replace it they will probably block the imei on the broken phone so you get no further use from it.
