[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x102x96x:
as u know xperia z was for Q1-13 so the features and capabilities are for that time

like S.S4pro and 1.5 Quad But i couldn't see any slow or bad responsibility from X Z anyhow It has Quad core and 2GB RAM and gr8 software support from sony (xperia developers) and other developers & AOSP (something that Honami won't get it)

But Honami is Quadcore 2.2GHz on S.800 and it means it s SO fast

if u don't wanna spend lot of money so xperia z is one of the best choice (and in xperia product best choice ;) )

:good:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimson12:
Well I still really want it, but according to t-mobile I can't get it with the free speakers and free shipping because that's not applicable for upgrades, only new lines. Maybe I'll wait and see now instead.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
Honami will be out probably in November/December like the T, so, If you guys in America got the Z with 5 months of delay... Don't hold your breath too long.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan2677:
I've been a mobile customer for three yrs with five lines I just got me and my son xz yesterday delivered and I got free overnight and speakers with both upgrades don't know why they told you that,I'm on that jump now so maybe the honami.will come to tmobile
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimson12:
Did you have to call for that? Or were you able to order it online? When I went to order online, I clicked "upgrade my phone" and at the end there was no option for a free speaker or free shipping.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ransz28:
You are correct but it will ship with the speaker. I called CC and they said they would refund the shipping as I bought the phone. I love the phone, purple is very cool.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paullu:
how can u can still get upgrade phone from tmobile!?

Tmobile now only have pay and go service put some money down and pay $20 each months
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimson12:
I know how t-mobile works, however if you're on their website and click "manage my account" they have an option called "upgrade my phone" which you click to buy a new phone from them. What I described is exactly what an upgrade is, a new phone. How it's paid for doesn't make it something else.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Bogenbroom:
I didn't get free shipping ($7.00 for ground) and it's supposed to be here tomorrow. I'm hoping i get the speaker. I ordered the phone online as soon as it went live. I called CS and they credited me the shipping fee, but it looks like I'm not the only one who had the issue.

The Z is a stop-gap for me. I signed up for Jump and hope the honami comes to T-Mobile.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan2677:
First off like already stated it still comes as a upgrade online even though your on the value plan, also I didn't select the speaker there was no option it just came, and I also had to call to have shipping credited, also joined jump in hopes of the honami coming but if it's like the xz I won't hold my breath
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimson12:
If the honami comes out at the same price as the Z, I'll probably end up buying it unlocked instead of waiting on T-Mobile. However, this is all up in the air till I see the new nexus.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dante501:
Yeah buy look how long it took for the xperia z to come to the USA. I have mine since day one of release in Europe. It is in today's time already old now lol

regestry change

whit a simple regestry change , it will ask you where to install it: folder,drive....

even if you do an istallation from active sync
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] DocteurN:
And what is this simple registry change ? :D

Do tell .... don't keep it a secret ;)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dodos_4:
what is this change?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] alexk:
ok here it is:

Edit the regestry on the PPC:

\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Aplication Installer\

set fAskDest to "1"

if you like

Create the "Pogram Files" folder on the SD card on the root folder,

make sure that you have the ignore_my_docs file in the root driveof the SD card.

I install most of my program on the SD card.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] chivas:
hi alexk,

i m using mini O2. how do go to the registry by the way?

and all the programs can run from the SD card?

Pls advise..

thanks..

What is the benefit of running CAB's from our SD card? In otherwords, I don't have the foggiest clue what happens to a CAB once you run it apart from it installing the program etc. :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] DocteurN:
A cab file is a way to install a progam.

So you can install this program wherever you want.

The benefit to install it on a SD Card is to liberate some RAM :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Soulgirl:
Thanks for that :)

Why is this forum sooooooo sloooooow :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] calvin_M:
Hi Alex, thanks for the tweak. :) But what do you mean by those meantioned above ? Are you saying that we can create a "Program Files" folder in SD card and install our program into it? What do you mean by root folder? Do I need to create a note pad file named as ignore_my_docs?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] noddy:
Calvin,

Root folder refers to the highest folder of the drive, the one where all the sub-folders reside... ie on your PC C:\

Be very carefull editing the registry, not recomended for a novice as one wrong move can leave you with a lot of trouble
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] calvin_M:
Thanks for the info. :wink: I think there's nothing to do with registry in these tweak rite? For what I know from others forumer, the Ignore_my_documents file is inside the main memory. It serves the purpose whereby the ppc will ignore the "My Documents" inside the Sd card (if you created one) and only use the "My Documents" inside the main memory.

Same said they have deleted the Ignore_my_documents file in the main memory and therefore they can saved their files (themes and etc) into "My Documents" inside the Sd card in order to save some RAM.

My question is, do we need to create Ignore_my_documents file into Sd card if we are going to do so?

Does anyone else think the new Google Play Store sucks?

It's a horrible use of space. It's bad enough that recently Google made it so that if you want to buy an app, you are forced to create a Google Wallet account that is tied to your mobile carrier.

Now, Google Play store has this big waste of space, and surprise, the tab to tell you the app's permissions is missing.

Where do I find an app's permissions?

I agree, it's such a bad layout and the fact that you can't easliy remove multiple apps from your myapps list is an even greater frustration!!!

[Android General] mlorika:
An alternative way of permission filter

If you want t search by permissions, visit the appscrawler site (appscrawler.com). I do not have permission to enter an url. But you can Google it. There are lot of Android apps what are pointing to Play Store. One of the advantage of the site is the ability to search by permissions.
[Android General] tft:
found this thread while searching for google play sucks ;)

i too think it sucks and honestly lacks some serious functionality. all i have is a huge messy list of apps. no way to sort your apps, by either category, or even a simple search that will search your list of apps. the google play app for tablet (if it's a different build) is much worse.. lots of wasted screen space and the list of your apps is narrow and frustrating to navigate. i buy many apps and currently there is also no way to only see apps that i've bought.

maybe google doesn't feel it necessary to continue to improve and add features to it because they don't make much money off app sales? no idea, but it's pretty puzzling how long its been and again, it lacks basic functions to easy manage your apps. you should be able to manage your apps as if you were just browsing the app store. things sorted by category, title, size, date, last purchase,etc. maybe i am being unrealistic and asking for too much.. ?
[Android General] EEngineer:
I've stopped downloading new apps or updating my existing apps. Yes, to me the Google Play store sucks that bad!
[Motorola Atrix 2] xdduser:
HI

Since last week a small black line started appearing on my screen. It was small last week but now it extends end to end horizontally. It gew day by day. I believe these are dead pixels. Apart from this line, there are small black pixels wlsewhere on my screen also.

My question is what are these & why have they appeared? As I remember these appeared after the phone fell from my hand last week.

Secondly, are there any service centers in Noida/Delhi (India), now that Motorola has stopped operating in Asia?
[Motorola Atrix 2] karthiks.840:
Do not worry.

It will be alright in few weeks.

I faced the exact same issue.

My phone fell on the ground and there were lot of black dots, a week later those dots were spreading horizontally.

Then later the phone "healed itself"... ;);)

The thing is its LCD right, the liquid again flows back in. That's what I think what happened.

So don't be tempted to replace the screen.

Play lot of games, like temple run, fruit ninja, etc...

(but don't rub the screen too hard to break it) Its going to be fine.... :angel: :angel:
[Motorola Atrix 2] dr.rav1:
Hi I had the same problem 2 months back as my son dropped the phone on the ground. The black lines kept spreading horizontally. I didn't do any repair, but I noticed a strange thing that if I use the phone continuously, as the phone gets heated up lines slowly started disappear. It took almost one month for the line to completely disappear. So don't worry have patience

Hit thanks if this helps
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
I don't know if it's a typical Android phone feature or something unique to the Atrix 2, but I did see other threads about how dead pixels eventually revive after usage. It's funny at the same time 'cause it's like the phone can 'heal' itself lol. :D:p

[Motorola Atrix 2] johngeorge82:
happened to me too.......i panicked and got my screen replaced (coz i've never dropped my phone) :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] holeholehole:
I drop my phone too and blue and black pixel appeared..so i hand itchy and went to rub the LCD and u got worst. After leaving it alone for some time, it slowly healed itself.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lparihar9:
Dont worry...

Keep it cool Bro...

that'll heal on its own, For a quick recovery there are apps on PlayStore. Install "Dead Pixel Detect and Fix" from play store, run it 3-4 times a day for 30 minutes. You'll see the dead pixels reducing at a faster rate.

If this helps you, a "Thank you!" click would be appreciated :) ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] catsnpickles:
Take out your battery, sim, and sd card, wrap your phone up in a bag, and leave it in the freezer overnight. I dropped my phone while skateboarding and got dead pixels. I used this method to get rid of them
[Motorola Atrix 2] xdduser:
What is the science behind this method? Why will this work?
[Motorola Atrix 2] catsnpickles:
I have no idea. I was extremely skeptical when I first tried it, and i was really surprised it worked. If you decide to do it, just make sure there isnt a chance moisture will get in the bag. Other people have also met success through this
[Motorola Atrix 2] bsballkingben99:
I have 2 fairly large black spots on my screen. I'm going to try to detect and fix pixel app but I doubt it will work. Has anybody else tried the freezer method?
[Motorola Atrix 2] catsnpickles:
IF you guys do the freezer method, after taking out your phone from the freezer, you will probably have to dry it off constantly for about 10 minutes due to condensation. Then when its totally dry you can put your battery, sim, sd card etc in.
[Motorola Atrix 2] rohitnobal:
Yes i have tried kept in under freezer air tight under foil and after one hour taking outside the frezer all black lines were gone in one night i kept onehhour in open because it feelt little wet forme untill the phone is fully dried do not insert battery
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ashoxy:
Anyone has photos of these black lines, dots? Any before and after pics after doing the freeze method?

My phone, never dropped, absued or roughly used ever! suddenly had a finger tip size round black spot and and remained so since 7 months now :( Motorola support declined to honor the warranty. Its difficult to know who calls as the location of the spot is top left.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shashankxda:
Don't worry bro keep your phone in an air tight plastic bag and put it in freezer for 3 days . Your problem will be solved . I was also having same problem . But after this method now every thing is fine.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Yesterday dropped my Atrix 2 twice in quick succession, its not a common thing that I drop my phone. Today morning when I check my phone , I found lot of black lines in middle of the screen.

Did know about this thread and the refrigerator method so have packed my phone in a plastic bag, put that bag in another bag having rice and put whole pack inside freezer.

Will check the results in the evening.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
UPDATE:

Wow! This refrigerator therapy is really magical.

Just took out my phone out of the freezer and turned it on after drying it out. TO my surprise all the black lines have gone :D

Atleast 25-35% area of the screen was affected by those black lines earlier but now when I checked a white page on the screen, there is not a single black dot on the screen. Who is finder/inventor of this therapy? want to thank him deeply from heart and to all others also who tried it our and posted about it in this thread. :good:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scairney:
Hello all,

Not too much of a problem this, but I have noticed that since installing the OTA update to 4.2.2 last night on my stock UK (Orange/EE) HTC One that when I slide the notification bar down from the top of the screen, there are 5 zeros displayed on the bar (the bit that slides down and then sits at the bottom of the screen).

Do these zeros signify anything? or can they be made to display something (battery percentage, etc)?

Many thanks in advance,

[HTC One X] B3t4:
Hi all,

I have been running ARHD 20.1 for several months without any issues.

Yesterday I upgraded to ARHD 22.0 with base 3.20.401.3 and my WiFi was just horrible, almost no coverage in my bedroom where i before had full reception on my WiFI. After reading in the ROM:s thread I learned that HTC:s base 3.20.401.3 has WiFi issues for a lot of people.

So I decided to downgrade today to ARHD 21.0 with base 3.20.401.1 but the issue remains (same bad coverage as in 22.0). I have tried to reflash boot.img for ARHD 21.0 but without success. My girlfriends unrooted stock HOX with base 3.20.401.1 has full coverage in the bedroom where I have almost zero. A speedtest shows around 16 Mbps down for her and about 1 Mbps down for me with the phones next to each other.

I guess it is not hardware-related as it has worked flawlessly for me before, both on stock and ARHD 20.1.

EDIT1: I'm also using lyapotas JB modPack if that affects anything.

EDIT2: Did a fresh install of ARHD 21.0 without any mods or apps. Same issue.

Anyone got any idea what may be causing this and a fix?

Thanks in advance! Best regards, Beta
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
When you fresh installed ARHD21 did you restore anything from backup?

When you flashed boot.img in fastboot did you erase fastboot cache? (if you used Mike's own ARHD batch file to flash boot.img it does it for you).

Did you do a full wipe in CWM before or after install?
[HTC One X] B3t4:
Nope, I did not restore anything. I used Mike's batch script so yes I did erase fastboot cache. Would it matter if I flashed boot.img before or after I flashed the rom?

I did a full data wipe/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache and also wiped inside the AROMA-installer before I flashed the rom. I did not wipe anything after the install, just booted up and there was the problem. Is this the correct way of doing it?
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
No it makes no difference flashing boot.img before or after.

I personally updated to ARHD22 then reverted back to ARHD21, and none of the Wi-Fi issues remained.

When everything is erased there is no reason for it.

Sure you flashed the right boot.img? I've heard you can boot ARHD21 with the ARHD22 boot.img but i've not personally tried.
[HTC One X] B3t4:
I extracted the boot.img from the 21.0 .zip and replaced it with the boot.img in Mike's batch script for ARHD 22.0
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
On a completely clean install I have no idea why your Wi-Fi issues would remain.

All I can say is they should not. At least in software terms.

The possibility exists however that you have developed a hardware issue with Wi-Fi, possibly antenna connections (which is common).
[HTC One X] B3t4:
Hmm, strange that it came at the exact moment as I upgraded my rom. Hope I can do some more testing tomorrow. Might test wifi with CM 10.1.2 as I have a nandroid for it. Is there any chance of getting the ARHD 20.1 zip? Or any newer 20.X if there ever was one. Have not stayed I the loop since 20.1 until now.
[HTC One X] oRmA2:
Same issue here....

i'm just new here and i did flash ARHD 22 and got the wifi issues too ( i used to have none on ARHD v21 )

Its actually worse for me now , it can sometimes have full signal and then just drop and disconnect suddenly , so i decided to downgrade but the problem is i cant find the rom zip file anywhere and i want to download it , problem is i cant find a link

The NAND backup i have is stock , not ARHD v21

So help?

Thanks!
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
Lots of folks have asked for this, there are plenty of links in the ARHD thread.

Search is you friend.
[HTC One X] B3t4:
Just to update on the progress of this, turns out that my HOX developed the well known hardware wifi-issue over time. Was fine before I flashed ARHD 22.0 and after (coincidence?) it was really bad. I have now performed the aluminum foil trick on the phone and the WiFi is now good!

I'll try to update to ARHD 22.0 again to see if the WiFi is on that version as well!

Having a hard time to believe the coincidence though...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeebz:
So this is a very minor issue (I think?). Anyways, the call log on my Nexus 4 displays incorrect times. I am running stock 4.2.2, unrooted. (I had it rooted and unlocked, but I relocked/rooted it)

So what I mean is if I call someone the call log will say I called them we'll say 10 seconds ago once the call ends. If I go back into the call log a couple minutes later it will still say I called the person 10 seconds ago. If I make another call it'll update the call log. This isn't really a big deal, but it's still kind of odd. I'm wondering if this is a normal issue perhaps? When I was running CM10 on my old Galaxy S2 it did the same thing.

Thanks for the help guys.
