[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
These two items seems to be a nice affordable options for the XZU, but I'm still wondering which one to choose from it's reviews...

Avetny, when you say that the Gearmaxx is as fingerprint magnet as the stock, is it really that bad? Even if it catches fingerprint easily, is it easy to wipe them off?

From the reviews, the Benks Magic HSR has great oleophobic properties, but then the oleophobic coating wears out fast. To those using it, when the oleophobic wears out, can you still wipe the fingerprints easily?

I have only used nillkin brand ultra clear screen protector before, so can anyone give testimony on how the above two (slightly pricier) items compared to nillkin? How about rock screen protector?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
You know is not that easy to wipe out them :rolleyes: but it says it have oleophobic feature. That was a my choice, I choose ultra clear version, but they have many other versions ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I just ordered the Gearmaxx from eBay for ~$20, and some cheap back cover from eBay too, Yousave is the maker (or should I say, who brands the stuff on last step), link is HERE.

I just wish I could buy a simple leather-like pouch as I have now with my Galaxy S3 (like THIS one for the Xperia Z), but the only decent one I found is from PDair (LINK), but it's far too bulky for my tastes.

AND, I found on alibaba.com that they're actually making some tempered glass sheets for the ZU front, but they take orders from 500 pieces and up... and I don't think I need that many...:D

Anybody has any idea on where to find a simple pouch?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
Look at this

Price ? $10 !

Get it from here
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
Well I don't have my ZU yet so I don't know how bad the stock is :silly:

Anyway I can only find two variants of gearmaxx, the ultra clear and the anti glare. Ever tried the anti glare one? How does it fare? (I hate fingerprints, especially on a screen this big :p)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sev7en:
Yesterday I got to Villaggio, one of biggest market in Qatar (Virgin shop) and they are totally out of mind about the Sony xPeria Z Ultra ^_^ Maybe I have to look for an online order again also for the cover but I would like buy something really "definitive"...

Take a look also there (main category): http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=XL39h&catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20130816203241
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fntms:
I ordered the gearmaxx ultra clear based on this thread, and it's just too much of a fingerprint magnet for me...

It's also harder to clean than the oem protection...It's also not nearly as smooth...

Really not recommended...

:(

I'm getting a glass protection asap.

Can I run this rom on my tmobile note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ems3:
I dont think it's possible unless there is a patch for tmobile to apply elsewhere. The nebula tab rom is built off verizon base so I doubt it would be possible unless someone makes a port for other carriers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lnslip:
Not trying to hijack your thread but i have a question also about the nebula tab. My clock keeps force closing. The stock clock apk. I tried the recommended DPI for stock apps and no dice. Checked Permissions also nothing. Cleaned app data nada.

Any Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ems3:
What did you set the dpi to for the clock? I know my clock is working for and I'm even running the UI switcher from moon rom. Are you running anything in xpoawd like thw tablet ui? That was messig with my phone qhwn I was changing rhw dpi earlier.

I understand you can run it now on tmobile since it is ported I just dont know how
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] o galaxy 23 o:
just flash it like any regular ROM. I have a tmobile note 2 running Verizon trans-nebula rom 2.0b. you might need to flash a tmobile radio after to get data working. I didn't have to

Wich Rom give more performance? And Kernel? CM 10.1 have hdmi output via MHl Cable?

Thanks.

Bro, there is no such thing as good kernel.. it varies on every users demands... and check in the past.. you will get the same answers...

Please stop asking this question...

every kernel has uniqueness and if we say this xyz kernel is better than abc kernel... then it is direct dishonouring the person who made it... they need respect... and then they may stop developing for us.. so search with yourself in the kernel repository thread.. thanks...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomedic:
So I came back from vacation (with a new Nexus 7) and wanted to throw 4.3 on to my N4. I had formatted my computer a while back, so I installed all the SDK stuff, usb drivers, etc... I did a factory image ADB install of 4.3 on my old N7 (to let the wife try) and went to try to do the same on my N4.

No matter what I do, the device is "not recognized" by windows when connecting via USB. In device manager it simply says "Unknown device" with an exclamation mark. I have tried unistalling/updating drivers (says proper drivers already installed), unistalling/updating drivers via SDK manager, nothing...

Sometimes it will get recognized as a USB device (in general, but the same errors) and sometimes nothing will happen with my computer at all when it's connected (i.e. no sound or anything). I have obviously rebooted the phone and computer multiple times, used multiple USB ports and cables. Just to make sure things were working with ANY device I did the uninstall/reinstall of the USB drivers, hooked up the N7 and it was recognized immediately (the new N7, first time I plugged it in via USB). I have tried with debugging on/off, with MTP/camera, everything I can think of.

The only consistent thing is that the device does charge every time it is plugged in to the computer.

I'm on a stock rooted 4.2.2 with Franco 165. I have never enabled USB fast charging, nor is it currently enabled. I also don't generally hook my devices up to the computer, so this is probably the first time since 4.2.2 came out. I also have not installed any new apps in a long time (and I have very few outside of stock to begin with).

The only things that have changed recently...

- I used a T-Mobile sim when I was on vacation (not my normal provider), and I'm back on my normal provider now. I assume that that is not the issue

- I used a car charger extensively while I was away (I don't normally use it at all). By extensively I mean it was plugged in for hours at a time (GPS). It did appear to have issues charging at times, did get VERY warm at times, and toward the end of a long session of charging it did shut off (and had issues rebooting/with the battery after). It is probably a cheaper made "chinese" charger if that matters

- Liteflow also appears not to be clearing notifications properly since the T-Mobile sim was in. I don't know why...

- Battery life in general seems to be decreasing since I've been home. It notably goes down, especially when not in use.

- I still have the system update icon in my tray (I'd like to do it via ADB)

Would the car charger do this? Again, outside of the battery life seeming to die faster, the liteflow issue, and the USB issue, everything else seems to be working normally.

I'm just out of ideas on why the USB isn't being recognised on my computer with the N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrus_e:
Wow you have just described exactly the problem I've been having for the past few days! I am in the exact same boat. Bump for exposure and possibly a fix!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xRabidDonutz:
I have tried flashing 2 different roms on my Sprint Galaxy Note 2, both of which no matter how many times I install them they are stuck at the boot screen and will not boot up.

I do a factory reset, wipe my cache and dalvik cache, and then install the rom from my SD card.

I have flashed 2 roms before, which I do not remember the names of, and had no issues other than in incident where I tried to flash a rom forgetting to wipe my previous one resulting in me just restoring a backup and having no further issues.

I'm using CWM recovery 6.0.1.9

I am also on a stock rom, recently rooted again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Factory reset and cache/dalvik won't do it. You need to wipe the system partition and data as well. Granted I haven't used CWM in years, but last I knew their "factory reset" didn't touch system.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xRabidDonutz:
The option does say wipe data\factory reset. but I don't know how to wipe the system partition. Is that something I can do in CWM? Also, would you recommend a different recovery? I've just used CWM for about a year and haven't tried an alternative.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] PartimusPrime:
I had been running Lifeless for the longest time until recently that I was able to figure out a way to get whatsapp working on AOSP ROMs. I noticed the speaker volume on stock ROMs is louder than the speaker volume on AOSP ROMs. Is there a way to adjust the speaker volume on AOSP ROMs so its as loud as stock ROMs? Thanks!

Edit: In-call volume is really low too... I noticed some AOSP kernels have louder speaker volume but not in-call volume.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nuformzdesign:
I'm interested to find out about this as well, specifically for headset volume. AOSP volume is way lower than stock.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TKFT44:
Same here, the volume is much lower on CM 10.1 than it was on stock software. I've also noticed that phone calls won't play through the 3.5mm audio jack, although that is probably a separate issue.

As an aside, the numbers are meaningless, but I use my phone for music in my car, and while 30 used to be a good comfortable volume level (though certainly loud, but that's my preference), now I have to go to 40 to get approximately the same effect. I also have the loudness compensation in the DSP equalizer set to "stronger," now, which I wouldn't have done before.

If anyone has any info on any of that, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: Max volume on my car stereo (a basic Alpine model) is 40, I noticed today. I'm probably tearing my eardrums apart, but I have the phone turned all the way up too and it's not very loud (relative to my previous phone, a Motorola Photon 4G, or stock LG software on this phone) at all.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] suzuki230rida:
Hey guys, I have found that if you are into the changing and tweaking if you have 'trickster mod' some kernels you can actually change the fixed gain under "specific" then "sound control" :) hope that helps
[Sprint LG Optimus G] PartimusPrime:
Is there an option for in-call volume?

"Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing" - Optimus Prime
[Sprint LG Optimus G] suzuki230rida:
you know.. im not sure.. i would assume if you turn up the fixed gain throughout the speakers it would apply to all scinerios. i have noticed that during even the screen lock it gets LOUD! sorry im not able to look at the moment im trying to figure some things out on MIUI
[Sprint LG Optimus G] KellusHvnbnd:
I figured that I'd bring this post back up since its pretty much relevant to my question.

All stock ROMs for this phone, from ringtone to notifications, have a crisp sound to them but AOSPs in my experience don't. The sound seems tinny or "grainy" if you will. Is there a fix for this I'm overlooking?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] PartimusPrime:
I haven't found one... The weird part is some say they have no issues while others (like you and me) notice the difference.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TKFT44:
Update: using TricksterMod donate and tweaking the sound settings definitely helped the volume. I've attached a screenshot with my current settings. Actually, the phone's loudspeaker sounds too loud for it's own good on max system volume. I keep it turned down a couple of notches. Headphone volume is much improved, though. And I don't have to worry about it being grainy when I'm using the headphone port, of course.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] efcmandan:
Hi all,

very strange this. There are four users of XDA-devices in my office (all on T-Mobile), myself (XDA2s), an XDA2, and two Imates (the XDA2 ones). Now, at random times throughout the day we will all recieve a text message with no sender number, but the text of the message is '13779538669'. I have never received this message on my other mobile phone (SE K700i, Voda), and I don't receive it on my Nokia when I use my T-Mobile SIM card in there!

I also only receive this message when I'm in this particular area (WA15, Hale, Cheshire), although a colleague says he gets it when he goes near Manchester Airport (5 miles from here).

What the hell? I know, I wouldn't believe it either unless I'd seen it happening but I promise you, it does happen!

In case you don't believe me ;) :

Its possible to send no-number SMS messages from services like http://theSMSzone.com

Maybe one of your friends is playing a prank on you?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] efcmandan:
Thanks for the reply. It seems unlikely that this is a prank, as four different people get the message and only when we are in the office, or near to the airport! I think it's a broadcast from somewhere nearby, I dunno, I'm still confused :?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] kunz:
Can you check what message centre the message is coming from?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] stynos:
Are these messages Premium-based ?(do they show up on your bill?)

Vodafone NL is unable to send out messages with the normal four-digit numbers... (5 for the uk). Instead they use eleven-digit numbers...

Perhaps in the UK it's the same?

I'd check if you have to pay for receiving those messages...

On the Vodafone website you should be able to retreive info on who's using the specific number...

Goog luck!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] WWWeed:
might be sent via bluetooth (could be an ad that hasnt displayed right) or it can be send from the internet witch sounds most likley
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] kunz:
Agreed.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] efcmandan:
Hi,

thanks for the replies, and sorry for the delay in me coming back! The messages aren't coming from a Bluetooth device, because my Bluetooth is always switched off unless I'm in the car.

I don't know how to find the service centre they're coming from, can anybody tell me how?

The messages do not appear on our bills. One thing I've noticed, now that I've upgraded to the 1.40 ROM, is that the sender now has a name of 'Network' rather than blank as it was before.

Obviously there's no harm in these messages, but they're a pain and I'd like to work out where they're coming from to satisfy my own curiousity[sp]!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] arielc:
my uncle has the same thing qith hi unlocked xda2i

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] efcmandan:
Hi Ariel,

thanks for your post, and great to hear someone else has this problem and not just us! I spoke today to our service provider, who'd never heard of this before, so he spoke to T-Mobile who also claim to have never heard of this before. They want me to keep a log of dates/times when the message appears :roll: , so that's what I'll do.

...have you tried to disable cell broadcast in your phone settings menu? this looks very much like a cell broadcast message, i can enable this on my german vodafone used device and get the area code on this way but i get also lots of bull**** notifications taht way. go to settings/phone and i guess its the third tab on the bottom (maybe fourth) where you can find channel settings for cell broadcast - unable it and it should be gone.

feedback welcome!

cheers, lutz
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] efcmandan:
Hi Lutz,

thanks for the suggestion. I'm on the 1.4 ROM, so there are five tabs at the bottom of that screen; Phone, Services, Network, Band, More. In More, there is Broadcast Channels, and this box is unticked.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] slixzen:
When I go and try to scan a non TecTile NFC chip, is obviously says "unsupported" so to me, this leads me to believe that other JFC tags could be supported, wouldn't it just be a matter of flipping some code to allow the ability to have it scan other NFC tags. Or am I completely wrong in this situation? I just don't see how that there is only one allowed NFC tag that is compatible with the S4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dtndvm:
It isn't. I'm using NFC ReTag https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.widgapp.NFC_ReTAG_FREE&hl=en and Tasker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm and the combo works great.

I have a pack of Tec Tiles that I got for 50% off with my Samsung coupon when I got my S4, but I'm also using some really nice epoxy coated key ring NFC tags that work great http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-NFC-Key-Chain-Hang-Tag-NTAG203-ANY-Android-by-AndyTags-NFC-Tags-/221262755251?pt=US_Other_Cell_Phone_Accessories&hash=item338449b5b3. Heck, it even works with any credit card that has the "blink" logo on the back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] slixzen:
Well, I got one of those free NFC Tags from the Movaluate give away that is programmable, and it works with my Nexus 7, but it fails with the GS 4.

Even if I open up NFC Task Launcher, to try and re-program it, I am unable to read it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dtndvm:
There are definitely some tags that don't work. I tried it with my NFC embedded name badge from a convention I attended last year and my S4 gave me a message that the tag was "unsupported". That's why I like the NFC ReTag app. It doesn't necessarily have to write the tasks to the tag. As long as the tag's ID number can be read, you can assign whatever action you want to the tag.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
The S4 can not read or write to the first gen tags. You have to get the newer tags. The new broadcom controller in the S4 cannot read the old 1k mifare tags. Sucks because I have several left over from my Evo LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ascsa:
Yep, the GS4 broadcom NFC chip doesn´t support mifare classic (=proprietary nxp format) tags, so no read or write operations...and samsung blocked (unlike the nexus 4 /10 with the same chip) even the low-level ID scan in some (all?) GS4 firmware versions ....not very nice, and ridiculous with the first gen Samsung TecTile tags being mifare classic tags ...

Sometimes I wonder, who made such decisions .... and it´s not only samsung, but the whole NFC industry and also Google making bad NFC moves again and again. There are so much NFC possibilities, killer applications/features and business opportunities beside the unicorn nfc payment use case, but with the current android implementation (and don´t get me wrong, it´s by far the best implementation within all current operating systems), most of it is simply not possible ...

I hate to say it, but perhaps we all should wait until apple "invents" NFC and shows us the magic ...:eek:
