[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
The audio jack on the side is ridiculous - sony did this on XSP too (sony seems to be good at spoiling decent devices :D), especially on a "smartphone" this big :silly:

I'm also getting an XZU in couple of weeks, and if using audio cable while the phone is in my pocket proved impossible, I think the workaround is using the wireless bluetooth.. Sounds like it defeat the purpose of a fully-waterproofed audio jack, but some compromise must be made, huh :eek:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kkkok8051:
First look I worry about the size, now I love the size. Inside my pocket no problem for walk, sit and run. I put my note 2 and zu together with my jean pocket or short paint is ok. No doubt.

One hand operate no problem for me. Because I m the big hand.

When incoming call also no problem, answer without bluetooth. Now I won't worry the size only how to root my device.

One more think is this device suitable for male better than female. When my wife hold it look like holding a M16. :P

Here's a fresh preview video from Pocket Now. The Ultra Vs the Note 2

[YOUTUBE]rqr9ZNsN0kc[/YOUTUBE]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Super Chimp:
I found the Note 2 too awkward to use so I sent it back. If I had issues with that would this device be even worse?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I don't have the ZU yet, so I can't really give you an answer, but what didn't you like about the Note 2? Was it too big?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Super Chimp:
It was partly the size but more just its general handling, reaching across the screen even though I tried clustering stuff on one side of it. I had a Galaxy Note sometime prior & I got on with that reasonable well & though the Note 2 was bigger of screen I still thought I would be OK with it.

I can see this being very difficult for my coffee/beer in one hand use :laugh:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Well, i can't exactly tell you that the Ultra is a tiny device, and you should be ashamed of your petite hands, since that's not true. If you were struggling with the Note 2, then i wouldn't recommend the Ultra. I have the Note myself, and i'm used to its size after almost two years, so it's pretty "small" to me at this point. What you can do, like i did two days ago, is to get your hands on a ruler, a sheet of paper/cardboard and the Ultra's dimensions (google it) and cut it out. That way you'll be able to see how big it is in real life and if you can handle its size. I'll tell you this right now; it's huge - for some people. I can easily manage its size, but that's me and not you.

Now go ahead, Super chimp! Stretch out your long arms and funny looking chimp body and climb up to your drawer and get the ruler and paper!

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rockky:
Reduce the bezels 80% and round the corners and you have the iconic ultra large screen template....forever!

As it is, someone else will manufacture that device and this remains a bit unwieldy for everyday function.

Still cool to have tho.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
You mean rounded corners like every other device out there? No thanks. I think Sony's new design language is very stylish, classic and timeless. It'll still look good in five years, while the other spaceship looking devices today will look like **** in about a year, like the current line of Galaxy devices and LG phones. HTC gets a pass because of the materials they use, and the iPhone still looks fairly good, and it's also quite rectangular.

This is my opinion, so no fighting (please) :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
Besides, if the XZU design is "less controversial" than it is now, the hype on this device will be less phenomenal :laugh:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Andrewtst:
Round corner? No thanks. I no need another Samsung like phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ianford10:
I'm struggling to use the ultra with one hand. Have come from the HTC One and unsure if I can live with the size. Testing it over the weekend and will make the final decision. The speed of the device is out of this world but I look like a plank with the phone in my pocket.

[LG Optimus 2x] rafaelsartori:
was wondering why some people still using the old bootloader so i started a search for the difference, but search is disabled now.

can someone explain me the pro/cons about bootloaders?

i though everyone was going to use the new to manage better the partitions (thats why im using)
[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
For me the new pt layout helps me a bit in multiboot. Because I can use the 360 mb large APP partition as system partition for my second rom, so i just have to do a second UDA partition and I can do multiboot easily. While using olt pt layout I have to create a second APP and UDA partition for multiboot
[LG Optimus 2x] rafaelsartori:
thanks, i got it... but i was wondering if have any advantage to use old bl when not using dualboot.

Looks like it didnt help flashing ftf or wiping. It was not a FC but a "unfortunately camera has stopped" The same happens with flashlight.

The camera worked before but know i keep getting this message. Tried other camera apps but they just use front facing camera as Main.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Xenobio:
For the last few weeks I haven't been able to get any PCs to see my phone (tried my personal, work, and one friend's, all running Windows 7). Previously it would mount as an external drive just fine (MTP) but now I really cannot get it to connect to any computers so I'm having to do all file transfers through Dropbox and stuff.

Tried a few apps like the SGS3 Easy UMS but nothing works. Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I've been updating to the "last stable build" of CyanogenMod 10.1 and now 10.2 from the ApexQ team about once a week. Not that I really know what it means.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
Did you try different cables?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
Try downloading all drivers for our phone and using last 10.1 nightly. That's what I'm on currently on and just used 2 days ago and had no issues. Most importantly use cable that came with phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Xenobio:
Thanks for all the suggestions. Downgrading to the last stable 10.1 nightly seems to have done it. Same cables used throughout.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] kilr00y:
having issues with that too from time to time. reboot sometimes helps, shutdown, pull battery and wait a few secs then put it all back together always did.

may be related to the otg-driver they are fiddeling with atm. seems like the chip gets stuck in some mode which makes the device invisible (doesn't even show up in kernel logs as if it wasn't connected at all)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
we're just adjusting for a few differences in the 3.4 kernel (plus all the nutty caf patches d2 loves) and adding new features at the same time ;) look for otg in a build near you soon. At this point it's not "does otg work" but "how can we best implement this in our shared kernel" and "can we also do usb aca" (otg + charging at the same time)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] ducksaucei3:
my phone's rooted, but i decided not to put CM on it.

anyway, MTP is pissing me off.

everything i try to put music on it from my computer, it doesn't recognize it and puts it in the LOST.DIR. What's worse is that I can't delete anything I put on the SD card. It says it's protected.

I've tried putting music on my sd card using another phone with usb mass storage and exchanging sd cards, but it gives me the same result.

anyone have a solution to this?

i've tried usb mass storage enabler, airdroid, and kies. none work.

any help is appreciated! thanks!

Sounds like your sd card. Try a different one.

Hi I have an XDA 2s which is fairly new but wasnt working so I have claimed for a new one, howver I got to thinking wether it was mendable and how serious the fault was. When I use the ophone wether I have made the call or someone calls me they cannot hear me very well, it sounds tinny and distant yet I can hear the person perfectly. Has anyone got any ideas? does anyone think I'll get any money for it on Ebay if I explain the fault?

Feel free to move this thread or answer me whenever you can, but please help me!

I'll start telling you my specs. I've got a LG P760 Rooted and with Superluminal ROM by Antariksh (Thanks dude!)

The pictures taken with the system camera are stored in the internal SD slot, which is lacking more and more as I install apps.

I've been using Tasker for a while now yet I cannot figure out why I can't move files automatically with it.

I'm using this task:

> dir myfolder %dlfiles

> For %file Items %dlfiles() ----> syntax with %var() I found over the internet and never used before

> Move from %file to newdir

> End For

However, I get two types of error:

- if I select "Use root" nothing happens

- if I unselect "Use root" I get "Failed to rename olddirfile to newdirfile

I tried also taking away the % from %dlfiles() but still nothing to do.

SO, I decided to ask for you guys' help! Thanks a lot for every answer! :highfive:

Do you know what Is the meaning of brick ?

I dont think so . .
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Flash a radio or a hboot from another phone :) lol [NOONE FOLLOW THIS ITS A WAY TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE JUST TELLING HIM CUZ HE ASKED]

Ha ha ha lolzz. ..

I think he is not knowing what is he going do.

Hey dude don't flash anything before knowing.

Bcoz it will brick your device permanently ( your Mobile will not even turn on and there is no chance of recover hard bricked device. )
[HTC Amaze 4G] byteless:
thanks. would you also link me what radio to flash?

Also the device is not rooted, any odin way would be gr8
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Hey you mean that you want to brick your device ???

The 1st person is asking this Question .

So to flash radio or hboot .

Search on Google

" HTC one x RUU xda "

Download any of the Rom you like then open that downloaded zip file and take radio.img out of the zip and then put it on the sdcard and flash it through recovery

After that your Mobile will never work.

It will even not boot up....
[HTC Amaze 4G] byteless:
yes I want to.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Ohh my god ....

It's ok ..

But if you dont mind can we know the reason ?

I think it is friend or parent problem ?

Right ??
[HTC Amaze 4G] byteless:
I do not have the root access or custom recovery installed.

would that method work?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Hey why don't you just donate your phone to some developer or a needy who have a flip phone yet?? I mean doing something like that is no use for anyone.. Don't break a perfectly working phone
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Nupzz. Just guide him through the process..

Don't say anything....
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Why would you want to brick a perfectly working amaze? Donate it to a developer who can do awesome things for this phone (like SebastianFM or ivicask). :)

This is a waste of time and money in my opinion. You can put a smile on someone's face if you just give a needy person a phone. :D

If this is for fraud purposes this thread should be closed. Sending a bricked phone back to someone, or even a corporation is like stealing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fneng:
A brick can easily brick your phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:

[HTC Amaze 4G] TheCrazyDirectioner:
Get a brick

Throw it at your phone

Bricked
[HTC Amaze 4G] rodr4813:
Hey!

SEND ME YOUR PHONE, ILL SEND YOU MINE! :)

then it will be super-bricked.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Its so he can use his Jump insurance and get a new phone since tmo gives the one s instead now...
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
FRAUD!

Sigh, that's FRAUD! :( That is simply not right.

This thread should be closed then since it's against XDA rules. :angel:

Seriously?? The ONE S? That phone *ain't* even that great compared to ours lol. No removable battery, only 3 menu buttons, and if the glass cracks you're done. Unless you have 200$ to fix it, which voids the warranty anyway.

But I'm guessing we're too late since he probably got a One S by now and bricked his Amaze.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreabix:
I did OTA update to 4.3 of my N7 3G which was rooted and unlocked (I know now I shouldn't have done it...).

I got an error at the end of the update (when was installing radio).

Rebooted, and got stuck in the google loop...

NOW, I CAN ENTER FASTBOOT MODE, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE USB DEVICE IS NO MORE DETECTED BY THE PC (I tried Windows XP, Windows 7, Linux), so I cannot re-flash it... It's not a driver's issue, because at USB level the N7 is not even detected when connected to the PC (for instance, dmesg shows nothing in ubuntu and windows does not "beep").

Is it possible that that was corrupted only the "USB stack" of the bootloader??? I could not find a similar issue in this or other forums (??).

Is there any chance to get the USB working again?

Is there any chance to send it for repair to ASUS (I bought it one month ago) with this described symptoms and with the "unlocked" icon on power on?

Is there a payed service to flash it with JTAG?

Thanks to anyone who can give me a clue...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0ldblooded:
Same problem - updated to 4.3 OTA today, N7 not recognized as an USB device at all. Still haven't tried on a Mac but I doubt it will be any different. The device isn't detected in normal mode or fastboot
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreabix:
I solved by sending it to assistance. Excellent service by ASUS... I did not have to pay although the tablet was unlocked/rooted.

Andrea.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilldoe:
since the new update to 4.3, N7 requires authorization with your pc before you can use ADB. I had this issue and had to go into developer options and click on the 'Revoke USB debugging authorization'. when I connect it to the pc again and ran adb, my N7 then asked for authorization to allow pc access. That restore my ADB.

Also make sure you have the lastest SDK installed on your pc too.

If you can enter Fastboot via pc you certainly can reflash it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreabix:
In my case (and probably the same for Colblooded) I got stuck with the N7 NOT BOOTING and NOT DETECTED by any USB host (tried also with dmesg on linux), so there was no chance to re-flash it. The only thing I could do was to send it to Brno for repair...

Andrea
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0ldblooded:
Exactly the case. Unfortunately I can't send it to ASUS :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilldoe:
you said you could boot into fastboot, did 'fastboot devices' on your pc not detect it? Does it detect it now?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreabix:
That's the point: I could boot into fastboot but 'fastboot device' was not detected by the PC (so I could not re-flash it). Now if I boot into fastboot the PC correctly detects the device...

What I find very, very strange is that an OTA update to 4.3 caused the USB port to stop working!! From what I read googling around, even with a problem during a system update going to fastboot mode (on + volume down) should always allow a connection to the PC for reflashing, or, at least, you could enter APX mode (on + volume up), which is an even lower level mode that is detected by the PC with different drivers (for direct programming, but need encryption key and SW not yet available for Nexus 7).

Maybe it was just a coincidence: an USB hardware failure just before I did the OTA update, which I realized only afterwards, when I needed USB for reflashing...

However the ASUS Service Repair Report states:

Problem/Symptoms: Pad Battery can't be charged. OS ERROR

Replaced Part:

ME370TG BAT COSLI-POLY FPAC

ME370TG MAIN_BD.1G/T30L/NFC

The first one looks the battery (????)

The second sounds like the mainboard...

[LG Optimus 4X HD] xxalexcc:
Hello All,

My Problem is a high battery drain, not caused by baseband_xmm_power wakelock, but by the processes "Phone", "Messaging Storage" and "SIM Toolkit". My device gets very hot	although I do not even use it and the CPU runs constantly at 475 MHz. I got this issues on every custom ROM / Kernel combination. This Problem appears at random time intervals. Sometimes after 2 days, sometimes 5 times a day and sometimes it disappears after rebooting.

I also have tried to freeze that 3 processes with greenify, but no success :(

Right now I am running SlimBeam 7.8 with iodak Kernel (because with this combination I dont get these baseband wakelocks)

Is there anybody with the same issue or with some tips for me?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tigerporc:
I have found the solution, switch off your phone for maybe 10 minutes. The RILD problem will persist across phone reboots (hard reboot and even xposed soft reboot).

I had the same problem on S3 and just couldn't figure out why and how to fix until I got the clue from the forum link below

Good Morning XDA!

I present to you a flashable version of a tool I often use to sync my music library with my phone: rsync.

For those of you not familiar with it, it is a (generally) Unix / Mac OSX / Cygwin based tool to allow the easy synchronization of files from machine A to machine B.

It requires some sort of SSH server on your phone, but once everything is setup it is a very easy to use tool to manage a music library, especially when you keep music in a non-standard location.

I also included a link to a shell script I created to sync music that runs on your computer. Note: Requires Unix / Mac OSX / Cygwin

Downloads

Android rsync

See Attachments

Optional: Music Synchronization Script

https://bitbucket.org/rcmurphy/scripts/downloads/android-music-sync

Installation

Android rsync

Push Rsync.zip to your phone.

Flash as you would any other zip.

Optional: Music Synchronization Script

Ensure 'rsync' is installed on your computer.

Create '~/bin' if already exist.

Copy the script to '~/bin/'.

Rename the script to 'android-music-sync'.

Chmod the script to 755.

[LG Optimus G (International)] mgeekd:
Dear XDA,

I was hoping that there was a way to use my newly acquired Optimus G on my current WIND network with data capabilities. I was browsing the internet and came across a few tidbits of information and was hoping for some clarification:

1) Nexus 4 conversion

[Q] Can the E973 perform this conversion successfully?

- willing to sacrifice LTE, NFC and storage space and perhaps even the camera

[Q] Will this conversion allow for a baseband to be flashed that will sustain a data connection on WIND?

2) Getting WIND data on the E973

[Q] Can an alternative baseband/radio be flashed to enable data over WIND?

Here is what equipment I'm running:

(Telus) LG Optimus G E973 Unlocked Rooted

ROM: Vanilla Rootbox CDN (unofficial) 4.2.2

Radio: AT&T JB

My understanding is that a Nexus 4 conversion will allow me to flash a T-Mobile radio baseband which will enable me to use data over WIND. However I was wondering if there was another approach, possibly a more direct one. Thank you.
