Try and bug them and maybe ask for a device like the sensation which is a bit underpowered but it seems worth it because of the insane development, they also have JB Sense.

You might want to try and ask for another phone but chances are slim. Just bug them.

You can also threaten them and say "I will never buy HTC again and will make sure people my family and friends won't purchase htc phones ever again." :p

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxxl25:
Hello everybody!

I know, we all should use the search function first and look for it and I already did, but I just want to be sure to do everything correctly. As I'm living in Germany and my Xperia Play was a display item (sorry if this is an incorrect translation), Google Play tells me to have a Vodafone R800i. My phone is already rooted with the one click function in Flashtool64. I'ts the standard 2.3.4 Android Version, the Kernel is the Standard 2.6.32.9-perf SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1 and the build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42.

Today I bought setCPU and i noticed, that i am not able to overclock. :(

I want to keep the firmware, but i want to install the DooMKernel, so I think I have to unlock the bootloader, right?

Now the important questions for me are:

-Do i lose data, because I hate to reconfigure everything and i don't want to lose any savegames and stuff.

-When do i lose warranty or did a alredy lost it by rooting my phone/using Game Keyboard, Game Killer, the firewall by avast! Mobile Security?

-How do I flash the kernel now?

Sorry if those questions are already answered, I am new to Android and rooting/flashing blablabla and I want to be sure not to do something wrong

Thanks in advance,

xxxxl25
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
-Overclock can only be done with custom kernel. On stock kernel you will get max 1GHz

-You didn't lost warranty by rooting. Actually, you did, but if you flash any stock firmware, you'll remove root (and warranty is valid)

-You will lost warranty permanently if you unlock your bootloader

-You can flash custom kernel only if you unlock your bootloader

-You can save your data with apps like titanium backup or mybackuproot (for that you only need root, not unlocked bootloader)

-There are GB custom ROMs that work on locked bootloader

-You can't use ICS or JB ROMs, because you need custom kernel for that (meaning, you need unlocked bootloader)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leots:
Even though Sony says that you *may* lose your warranty when unlocking the bootloader, they fixed my Xperia Play's cameras when I sent it to them. I did relock the boot loader of course, but they could know if they wanted to (you give them your IMEI to unlock anyway)

I guess they say that you might lose the warranty to avoid fixing software problems that can be caused with an unlocked boot loader.

Sent from my R800i
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxxl25:
So I don't really lose my warranty?

I also remember that somebody told me that he only lost warranty of the OS, but not of the device..?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprint_ST_1050:
The official unlock procedure from sony will loose the DRM.

So myphone is unlocked thru the test point methode:

> Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Active, Ray, Live with Walkman > Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Active, Ray, Live with Walkman General > [Tutorial] Unlock Bootloader.Test Point | For Newbs | 18th Jan 13

> Sony Ericsson Xperia Play > Xperia Play General > [GUIDE] Bootloader Unlock Status: No / No Fastboot

I can confirm TrackID is still working with this methode on my R800i
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leots:
Nobody will guarantee you that they'll fix your phone because we're not Sony, but they did fix mine and I have read about other people who got their flex cables and stuff fixed after relocking the boot loader... If you notice at the boot loader unlock page it says that you *may* lose your warranty... you be the judge :)

Got the AT&T S4, decided to mod the cover so I can use inductive charging (also voided the warranty), and, wouldn't you know it, I have the 'Camera fail' error that's becoming more and more common, yet Samsung seems to be turning a blind eye. So I did what anyone with steady hands and tools would do, I took it apart and did some troubleshooting. I'm running stock firmware, unlocked, running on a Tmobile network

-The message is the same, regardless of whether the camera module is plugged in or not.

-The front camera works fine, whether the rear camera is plugged in or not

-The firmware shows 'Null' for version, also if I try to write to it, and it crashes the entire system if I try to dump it to the phone

The short version is, for me at least, it seems that the camera module is dead. Anyone have any suggestions? My plan is, once I have a few extra dollars, to spend the $20 on an eBay replacement to see if that fixes it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] heara:
i had the same problem i ordered the new module a week ago ill tell you within one week if the new module worked..
[Galaxy S 4 General] unbwogable:
Any news on this?
[Galaxy S 4 General] mrbrt:
I had a client with an i337m (Rogers Galaxy S4) that somehow managed to crack *just* the glass on his camera module.

He never got the "camera failed" message before but the camera was unusable in its current state.

I picked up a replacement that was listed as "i9500 back camera replacement module" from cellxpressonline a guy that runs the shop locally in edmonton. if you look online there seems to be conflicting statements from replacement module sellers that most of them are compatible with 9500/9505/i337, while others listing each a seperate unit.

despite his assurances that it would work, sticking the new module in gives the "camera failed" error.

on the left is a pic of the OEM module for i9500, and on the right is the original for the i337m.

CLIFFNOTES: i9500 camera module replacement is apparently not compatible with i337m
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Of course it's not compatible, one sports the Exmor RS (i9500), the other the Exmor R (Snapdragon variants).
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Sorry about your problem; hope you can get it fixed cheaply and quickly. But what's your definition of "common?" I've been on the forum since before the SGS4 launched and your post is the first I've heard about what you've described. With 20M+ SGS4's in the wild even a hundred reports of a problem doesn't make it "common."

Here's the real definition of common:

com·mon

[kom-uhn] Show IPA adjective, com·mon·er

adjective

widespread; general; ordinary: common knowledge.

of frequent occurrence; usual; familiar: a common event; a common mistake.​

Here's a place that'll repair non-warrantied phones. They are in TX. People in the N2 forum have used them for SDS repairs. Their prices are pretty reasonable.

http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iv-4/
[Galaxy S 4 General] mrbrt:
the processor variant has nothing to do with the camera module. some of the S3 variants Ive replaced camera modules between variants without problems.

the camera modules are pin and size compatable for the i9500 and i337, and many sites list ONE camera module that's compatible with all variants, but that's obviously *NOT* the case.
[Galaxy S 4 General] unbwogable:
Which is why I said more and more common. Seems like more reports are popping up on non-xda sites every time I search. I didn't say it was every device, just that there's obviously a problem that needs to be addressed by Samsung. There's plenty of cases where the company has replaced the phones for various consumers, so they have had at least a handful of cases where they acknowledged that the product failed.
[Galaxy S 4 General] heara:
yes i changed the module 3 days ago, and its working fine no problems at all. this is definitely a hardware issue, you have to change it or valid your warranty.

my problem begun with first no focus then warning camera failed, i tried reset, update, change rom, clear cache, and nothing worked, then with new module no problems. i bought from ebay...
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Had you not hacked your phone it's a pretty simple warranty repair or device exchange. While getting a device fixed is a PIA that's what warranties are for. An after-sale defect rate of 2-5% is considered acceptable in electronic devices. Which means out of 20M SGS4's sold between 400K and 1M ship with a defect. Hopefully Samsung's closer to 2%. Even hospital and airliner systems that are built to a “zero defect” standard have back-ups because stuff breaks. So while it sucks for those that draw the short straw random issues are to be expected. And not just from Samsung, from any manufacturer.

I'd also advise people that knowingly void their warranties to get SquareTrade for $99 for two years. Using your case as an example, it can pay for itself pretty quickly when Samsung and/or a carrier tell you to go pound sand. ST also sends repairs that are denied by the manufacturer/carrier to one of their repair centers to be fixed and guarantees their work.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
The processor variant has everything to do with the camera module. Every Snapdragon 600 S4 variant ever made packs the Exmor R sensor and every ROM processes the IMX091PQ input, while every Octa-core S4 variant has the Exmor RS and SW processes the IMX135 input. Most sites probably have no clue that Sony ships different image sensors to different S4 variants.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gekkehenkie11:
The replacement cam module I installed (to fix my 'camera failed') was a generic one and would work on all galaxy versions, so it's definitely not cpu dependent. You see it a lot by the way, for example in microsoft's xbox, you'll see different dvd drives from different manufacturers. The security inside the DVD drive's firmware (which responds to the mainboard's request for security info on the DVD) is even being processed by different processors (even totally different machine languages), but the communication between mainboard and dvd drive is just standardized. Just like the pins & connectors are standardized for the cam module in the S4 and it obviously responds to the same api calls.

[Android Apps and Games] hgoran:
Hi guys,

I have released a game called Flicky Circles. Flicky Circles is simple, fast and thinkful android game to play with your friends or against a computer. Originally inspired by OLO. Flicky Circles is free in a small size apk. Give it a try. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you for your support!

About:

Each player starts with 6 circles in 3 different sizes. Circle gets smaller each time it lands on player's starting point (white color). Goal is to flick your circles into same colored ending zone and achieve more points than opponent. With two or more same sized circles, player gets a bonus point...

Supported:

- any resolution from 320x480 - 1080x1920

- android 2.3 and higher.

More details on google play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goranhorvat.flickycircles

FB fan page:

https://www.facebook.com/FlickyCircles

I hope you will like it.
[Android Apps and Games] hgoran:
I would like to have some opinions about Flicky Circles. Have you tried? Is there "missing" something in the game and would make it more playable for you?
[Android Apps and Games] Silverguy206:
Very nice, really polished and a great interface. Fun game idea. The text in the help screen/intro could use some polish.

"Each player starts with an equal amount of circles representing their moves."

"Each circle gives the player a point when it reaches their colored zone. If 2 congruent circles are landed, the player gets a bonus point"

"Reach the colored space and flick away towards the opponents circles to defeat the opponent."

"Player captures the opponent's circle if it lands in their starting area. The circle becomes smaller."

"Lock button freezes circles in place for one round. It can only be used once per game."

Feel free to tweak those for brevity if you need to.

Also, on the game pause screen, the text doesn't change colors when you tap it like it does on the main menu. This kind of has a jarring effect because you can't tell if it detected your touch or not.
[Android Apps and Games] hgoran:
Thank you for helping me with words. I will update these things including pause screen UI in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] graylowes:

This looks like a fun game. Just downloaded it. I'll take it for a spin this weekend and give you my feedback :)
[Android Apps and Games] fangthorn:
Lookout flags it as adware

I've just installed it and Lookout pop's up a message "Flicky Circles" is adware

Looking nice

Games looking nice, but not able to play in my defy.

My defy is running JB 4.1.2 (Quarx), when I open game menu screen will come and when I press single or double player again it s return to main menu with different color, is this problem with rom r .................

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] hgoran:
Hi navin, I don't understand exactly what kind of problem you have? Can you play Flicky Circles? Colors are supposed to change each play.

graylowes, thank you for your feedback.

I downloade it just for giggles, but i really like it.

Its simple and addictive. And the 2 Player mode on one device is

cool. i´ll play it with a friend the next days and see how they like it.

Good Job! Hope for more cool thing to come!
[Android Apps and Games] B!GBOY:
Great job!:good:

game play is very good, a little fast i think but very good!

improving sound tracks would be nice and if possible adding some effects like Menu sound effect in OLO
[Android Apps and Games] navinshark:
Looking nice

Hi, thanks for reply, actually I am not able play game, when I clicked on single or double player it will take to blank screen after few seconds again it's returning to game menu. Even I tried in my Nexus 7 (Not rooted) but same thing is happening.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] hgoran:
Hi, I tested it on Nexus 7 and it works fine. Never had a problem like that. Please send me a clip on PM, from app start to the end (back to menu) so I can take a look into it. Thank you.

B!GBOY & strainhunter thank you for your words. I appreciate it.

Currently no plan for sound fx. But in the near future, I will try to add some levels where you can build some flicking skills. I hope players will like it.

[Android Apps and Games] ghostinrags:
My favorite game right now

I find this wonderful game to be so easy, fun, yet still has some strategy to it to keep your mind going. Bite sized games, but I keep going back again and again and again. Fantastic job! Five stars! Thank you, very much.
[Android Apps and Games] Surfinette:
Hi Harvey!

I'm a big big fan of OLO on iPad... and I was really missing this game on Android (and OLO devs clearly state they are not planning to dev their game for the android platform...), so I'm very very happy that you are here developping FlickyCircles... Very promising game, thank you

:good::good::good::good::good:

Just a a few questions:

1) could you add an online play mode? (hopefully not through facebook)

2) can you list all the differences vs OLO in terms of rules and counting points? (in particular coming from OLO, I'm a bit confused about captures (when and how))

3) I hate facebook (yes, I'm quite old fashion...) ... any other way to store and share high scores?

Keep the great work )

EDIT____________________________________

Ok, I've tested further and I don't like too much your capture method because:

1) the smallest circles can't be captured (thus limiting some strategic moves)

2) we end up playing with small circles only, which is also limiting because the small ones are much less powerful

I prefer the OLO capture method where all circles are not shrunk when captured but each circles can only be captured twice (circle that can no more be captured are flickering for a brief moment). Could you maybe offer this different capture method as an option?
[Android Apps and Games] hgoran:
I'm glad you like my game.

1. Not yet, but I'll spend some time in the future and try to implement it.

2. Please visit help in the game. All rules are listed there, except maybe that lives of the circles depends on their sizes. So therefore, the smallest circle can't get any smaller and you loose it if it lands on the white zone.

3. Currently no. I made sharing with facebook just for fun. If I want to add other sharing options, game would become much larger (in KB)...

But I'm thinking of having online scores inside Flicky Circles, if that's what you prefer?

Thank you Surfinette and ghostinrags!
[Android Apps and Games] Cvele1:
thanks

Thanks for sharing :)
[Android Apps and Games] Surfinette:
Thank you for your answer.

I had edited my previous post, just before you answered me, so you may have missed my EDIT part... see below
[Android Apps and Games] hgoran:
Small circles can be powerful too in full speed motion but they sure live less long. For that Flicky Circles is much faster game.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
[Android Apps and Games] hgoran:
Hi all,

v1.3.0 is out and I've added some challenging levels to get you some flicking skills.

Rules: In each level you start with three different circles. You have to flick them into the target area. 2 of 3 stars gets you to the next level.

There is also much less fullscreen ads and some other minor fixes.

Let me know what you guys think.
[Android Apps and Games] hgoran:
What do you guys think about the levels? Are they challenging enough? :) Do you want more?

I would appreciate any opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] Surfinette:
I love the levels. Great idea. Great for training.

I find them quite challenging as soon as we need a rebound on a wall. But I'm a casual gamer, maybe a hardcore gamer might find them too easy, but not me...

As I'm quite stubborn, I insist on begging you to please implement OLO rules for capture, at least as an option. I find these rules add more interesting strategic possibilities. I would also like to see the lock and +1 bonus as game options, not compulsory rules....

In any cases, I enjoy your app, I just wished it was closer to my liking, through options...

Keep the good work

After failing to install CM 10.1 I have custom recovery, CM is just stuck on boot logo, I don't even want it anymore.

Anyway I have made a back up in meanwin, but I moved it to my computer because it was too large, all I need is to copy that folder to my phone but I can't. I can use an sd card but I haven't purchased one yet.

How can I copy the backup folder? I tried the mounting option in custom recovery but it didn't show up in my computer.

Please help! any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
supposing that you have adb file on your pc or you have android SDK installed

boot into custom recovery, connect your phone to pc open cmd and type the following commands (you dont need to enable usb debug for this process):

adb devices

you must see a serial number

adb push C:\name of rom.zip or backup /data/media/

supposing that your rom/backup is on C

adb reboot recovery

once done, go to your phone and install the rom.zip/backup from recovery, reboot.

EDIT : first wipe data and cache with recovery then reboot it may fix the bootloop

EDIT 1: if you find this hard (and it is not, it is good to learn something) you can make the wipe and flash stock firmware

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] at45:
Some apps only support one orientation and they open in their orientation which is sometimes sideways. When you're multi-tasking and two apps chose different orientations it's a pain.

Is there some way to force an app to open "the right way up" so that there are black bars at the sides, or top and bottom if necessary? Seems like there should be. Particularly since you can get Android laptops.

Cheers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] at45:
Nope. Apart from having the letters "orient" in the app name, that doesn't seem related to my question.
