[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
Hi,

Currently I own HTC One X..I am thinking on upgrading but had few doubts regarding Xperia Z.

1) Any major problem with XZ even after latest updates?

2) Why development hasn't picked up much as this is a flagship device? It was launched long time ago as they say in mobile world.

3) Best choice among HTC one, HTC droid DNA ? Personally i don't think htc one is worth spending 42K...

4) Any design flaws? Is the phone delicate? Can it be used without case? I personally don't like phone with cases

It would be really helpful if my doubts are cleared. I am more inclined towards XZ

Thank You:)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgs1992:
None. As of .423 which is the 4.2.2 update, I cannot say there is any serious problem in the XZ's software. While there could be a couple of minor bugs, it is nothing like the bugs in HTC's software (I've come to the XZ from the Sensation)

I'm pretty sure there's been some, it's not like the Development forums are empty. I would also blame Sony for this. The stock software doesn't leave so much to be expected from the phone. Stock is great, which is why there are tons of mods, but only a few ROMs. Also, 4.2.2 source was only dropped a few days ago, give it some time, I'm sure there will be development.

I gave up on HTC because everything is so annoying and unnecessarily complicated. Why not go with an OEM that supports developers? Sony has been showing great support for the community over the last few months.

Flaps are annoying. Polycarbonate shell is prone to damage from falls. Case and screen protector are highly recommended if you're prone to dropping the phone.

If I may, I'd like to recommend this case that comes with a screen protector for the front. It feels so premium, it feels like a part of the phone :)

Hope this answers your questions.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
Thanks for the answers man...few doubts are cleared..

Well i take care of my phones very nicely..i handle them very delicately..so even a small drop would give me an heart attack:p

So it is fine use without any case? definitely with a screen protector on both the sides
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgs1992:
Yes. :)

Last design flaw I forgot to mention is that it is one hell of a fingerprint magnet, so a good screen protector is an absolute must!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
yup..even i heard bout this thing..

I was wondering why the phone has lost resell value?

and many ppl are selling it.. I was wondering why..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
if you want me to be honest,

the device does get hot easily and can be a bit uncomfortable in the hand.

what i mean to say is, the HTC one is more comfortable to hold.

xperia z is just a large rectangular thing with sharpish edges :/
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgs1992:
After a recent update (.253 I think), the "getting too hot" problem has disappeared for me. :)

I don't stress my cores to maximum though, I rarely play CPU & GPU intensive games. Most of my usage consists of browsing & music.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
thanks for replying guys and is the dead pixel problem common?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeoSpaceKing:
Not at all.. The dead pixels case rarely happens..and it really isn't something to bother about, firmly ask for a replacement if it does lol.. It's 13.1mp after all..:p

Edit:by dead pixels,did u mean the pixels on the screen or the black spots in the camera?

Hit thanks if I helped u.Sent from my Killer Xperia Z(C6602) using xda premium.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MathewRB:
Hi All,

I need to move back to a stock ROM I hope at least 4.1 as my girlfriend has just had the offical upgrade from Samsung and the phone works really well.

The reason for having to go back to a stock ROM leaving no trace the phone was had anything else on it is due to one reason only.

I use the world pay card payment terminal with my phone and this requires an app to be installed on the phone. However this will not work as the phone has a non standard rom.

I have tried to discuss this in the following thread however it look like I have no choice but to go back to a standard ROM.

My main question here is to find out is it possible to go back to a standard ROM and leave no trace the phone had ever been touched? Will I also have to change anything else like Radio as well?

Hope this all makes sence and sorry to any mods that this this is in the wrong place.

Thanks

Mathew
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadivarz:
You can make a full wipe for ur phone and install

a fresh system from sammobile.com using odin software

its very easy really but make sure when u start downloading the system software from the sammobile

to choose your country from it if u wanna be more precise on it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MathewRB:
Ok but will that reset the Binary Count as I think thats what the App could be looking at?

Is there a way to do that I have a Jig but it does not seem to reset the count as I had hopped.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
A standard firmware should leave the binary untouched and set as official instead of custom. Another way of resetting it is triangle away app but thta will still leave you rooted etc and probably stil cause the problems using the app you need
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MathewRB:
You are correct about the trinagle away app as it would still be rooted.

Currently the binary has 3 couunts on it when I install the standard firmware will this reset to 0?

Also will my phone remail unlocked on all networks?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radite:
the binari will be reset n Yellow triangel will be gone....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MathewRB:
What about the Kernal will I need to change that as well?

And will this leave the phone unlocked to any network?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaldsud:
About the binary count, i'm not sure if flashing stock resets it fully since i haven't had stock for about a year or so :P

But i have been told that flashing a stock firmware will reset the binary count to 0. You can always try for yourself :)

How did you know what binary count you had? Triangleaway?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
It should do, I've recently put my old s2 back to stock and it is now showing 0 on binary but I have read in the past that there may be a hidden counter on some phones, not sure if the s2 is one of them, so if possible try triangle away to reset it (chainfire did a work round to reset any hidden counters) then flash back to stock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter while your phone is still rooted, then flash stock rom with Odin. Stock phone with flash counter showing 'Samsung Official' & 'Custom Binary Download = 0'. Sorted.

Edit - Re: a hidden counter, you're being paranoid.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MathewRB:
OK so we go with the following order

Step 1 - Reset Binary using triangle away app

Step 2 - Install Stock firmware from sammobile.com

Step 3 - Should I do somthing with the Kernal as this is not stock?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you knew the basics (as opposed to jumping in without knowing the 'how & why'), you'd know stock rom packages contain stock kernels, which overwrite any kernel you're currently running (just as the stock rom within said package replaces whatever rom you're currently running).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MathewRB:
I did not know that thanks for letting me know.

So this means once I install the stock ROM the Siyah Kernel 4.1.5 will be removed and use the one included in the stock correct?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Kalsdud:it shows it in download mode

Op:yes

-------------------------------------------

maybe your an iphone expert

------------------------------------------
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaldsud:
Stock firmwares contains stock ROM and a stock kernel,

And as MistahBungle said:

You have the answer already, and now i just made it more clear (not that it wasn't clear before)

No need to repeat the question over and over again..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MathewRB:
OK I have now re-set the Binary now I just need to pick the stock ROm and install.

However once I do this will the phone remain unlocked to any network?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
Providing you choose the simfree stock rom then no problems
[HTC One V] Ondwak:
When I turn on my phone, the AOKP loading screen appears for about one or two minutes, then the screen shows an android notification saying, that there's 0% battery and immediately, after let's say half a second, the phone switches itself off again. This way it can't be booted and I'm 100% sure, that the battery is above 90% when doing this, I even tried to re-charge it for a couple of hours, but it's still the same. What should I do now? I'm using the kernel included in the AOKP zip.
[HTC One V] parkourz:
Try full wipe and flash ROM again. But before reboot, clear data, cache and dalvik cache. If it don't help, flash kernel RECOMENDED IN ROM'S OP, not that from zip.

AND NEVER AGAIN FLASH KERNEL FROM ANY ZIP!
[HTC One V] Ondwak:
The first step didn't help, same result. Could you please recomend me some kernel that would work with AOKP? I've been trying to find one for a couple of hours by now and I'm hopeless... A direct link would really help me.
[HTC One V] Seraz007:
all kernels are found here for AOSP

if AOKP is android 4.1.2 (im sure it is) DOWNLOAD the KERNEL LABELED CM10 (Latest one[im assuming u can find the latest one by looking at the upload date xD])

http://www.mediafire.com/?lo2ctaplonbdh
[HTC One V] Ondwak:
Well, thanks alot! :) It worked with the TK kernel for CM10, although the ROM itself had some minor bugs so I switched back to Sense based ROMs... problem solved!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revo99:
Hello All,

I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC One with Supersu.

I have used a few different programs like Root Uninstaller or Titanium Backup to try and remove the bloatware apps from my phone. It says the app is uninstalled. Then if I restart the phone they re-appear. I have been digging around the forums and suspect this may be due to the S-On function.

Could someone help explain this to me and how I remove these correctly.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Reece
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
I'd recommend freezing the apps with Titanium, rather than uninstalling. It should fix your issue with apps reappearing.

theres a system partition within the phone that isnt really allowed to be touched. for some reason certain apps hang around in that area. some custom roms like viperONE have the option to turn these system partitions the R/W which is read write. this will allow you to remove the apps permanently.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rennfah:
Yesterday I had some serious problems accessing the sd cards of my GS2 (international i9100 no letter; NeatROM with SiyahKernel S2-v6.0beta5).

After detecting there where some scrambled files at the internal and external sd cards root directorry.

I tried connecting it to my computer, but just the external sd card was accessible.

I also noticed, that mounting the device on my computer takes longer than I’m used to.

I re-flashed a 3parted Stock Rom (I9100XWLP7) to re-partion, did a factory reset after booting and all was working again.

So, I did start restoring my files and applying my settings.

After ~ 2 hours, the display and LEDs flickered multiple times, then my GS2 powered off.

I tried to power it up again, but nothing happened.

I pulled of the battery, waited for about 15 minutes, reinserted the battery and it powered up.

But then it hangs at the GS2 logo and not booting any further.

I’m not certain, but I think, there was a gentle “buzzing” from inside the device, after reinserting the battery for the first time, while the boot logo was showing.

I can boot into recovery and download mode and the batteries are charging.

My GS2 is still in warranty and I hadn’t re-flashed NetROM at this moment.

Should I try re-flashing it again, trying something different or should I just send it in for warranty?

I tried the method mentioned in this web-page. i.e name a picture with max 20px(H) 150px(W) as 'carrierlogo.gif' , and put it under windows\ , it works for me.

But the question is , how can we have the operator logo changed automatically when the operator change, for example, when roaming.

anyone can help ?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
I doubt it was a glitch. That's not actually altogether uncommon, depending on your usage patterns. On the other hand, trying to extrapolate that out to ten hours of usage is kind of silly: batteries drain at different rates over different charge periods (particularly the first 10% and the last 20%), and it's unlikely your usage is going to stay constant the whole way through.

So I bought a SG3 off of craigslist. The IMEI is good when I checked it right there at the place I met the person, they needed the money then and there for rent. The thing is, this phone is under the Walmart Family Mobile plan, and can still be activated for like 2 or 3 more weeks. It still has a working number, unlimited call/text, but my question is, would Walmart blacklist the IMEI if I canceled their plan in advance?

I know that they will blacklist your phone if you do not pay your bills, but what if you canceled it in advance? Would it still be clean? As of now, it still is clean and properly working. I can call and text with it. I have their pin and could probably cancel it now, but I am worried if it would be blacklisted.

I have the tmobile family plan, and it should just work fine, right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
As long as the phone is paid for in full, it shouldn't get blacklisted.

Is it a Tmobile model T999?

It is a T999. I believe the phone just has those prepaid cards to refill it from walmart, and im just worried if I cancel their plan, would it blacklist my phone..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Like I said, as long as it was paid for in full by the original owner, you should be fine.

They only get blacklisted when someone stops paying their bill before they are done paying off the phone. In essence, stealing it.

You can call tmobile to make sure it had been.

Not always true.

I bought a GS3 off CL on Feb 2nd of this year, and May 15th it went dead on me. I checked with TMO and they confirmed it was blacklisted and listed as insurance claim / stolen device by Asurion.

Apparently you have 30 days to file a claim with them, then 180 days to finalize the claim.

I contacted Asurion fraud dept 2 weeks ago letting them know that whom ever reported the phone lost/stolen was committing insurance fraud with them and they have not followed up with me.
