As a selection, perhaps offer an option of just the status icon colours in addition, that way they could mix and match if they already have softkeys?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] matthew0776:
U can always flash this mod...and ZT new softkeys over it ... I'm pretty sure that will work .
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] teh roxxorz:
Mmm, I was thinking about that as well, and definitely should work, I believe, lol.

I'll have to test later - devouring breakfast is top priority.

Hi

Can you add some scrennshots for orange & green pls?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] SoLdieR9312:
Sorry, don't have so much time to do it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] SoLdieR9312:
Can't flash orange or green at the moment, you can flash it, and if it is not yours, you can flash stock zip.

All changes will be reverted.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TheMaskedMan:
Hello,

Has anybody successfully hacked a wireless charging coil into one of these phones? I am curious where the best place to tap into the 5V line would be.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] ToniCipriani:
I tried adding the Touchstone coil to my back cover just now. It blocks out NFC. Also the way the USB port is laid out, it's no hike in the park to solder a wire there, no resistors around to tap from.

So I'm pondering if I should take Touchstone or NFC...

EDIT: I got NFC working. It was a foil under the coil that blocked everything off. However wiring it all up is still an issue... anyone in Toronto got good soldering hands?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cayjominara:
My phone started doing a crazy bootloop just out of the blue last night. I have never had a problem. I took the battery out to put my memory card back in. I'd been using it for my digital camera. This is not out of the ordinary. I do it all the time. But after I replaced the card, battery and cover it started this continuous boot loop. Sometimes it will go to the main screen and allow me to perform some functions, but then it goes right back to the bootloop. I am running the Padawan JB rom. I did the complete wipe, factory reset and re-flash. But it still did the bootloop. The only time it does NOT exhibit this issue is when the phone is on the charger. Then and only then it works perfectly. Is it the battery? Why will it bootloop without the charger and work fine when on the charger? :confused::confused::confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Seen a few threads on this and the issue is usually the battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cayjominara:
Thanks BubbaJoe. I'll try that. We'll see if that does the trick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cayjominara:
I got a new battery off of Amazon. And that did the trick. I can't even believe a bad battery would cause all this trouble. Thanks again for the tip!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AliKingKong:
Honestly, I used to get tons of random reboots with Jellybean ROMs until...I flashed CyanogenMod 10.2.2, and then used SD Booster, Greenify, and AutoKiller. It freed up a lot of RAM, and made my phone superfast, supersmooth, and an eternal battery.

My theory (I could be wrong) is that the Note lacks sufficient RAM to run 4.2.2 smoothly, hence killing your background tasks with those apps and adding more cache seems to do the trick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Holy crap dat battery life! What's the on screen time?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AliKingKong:
Lol! 40% of the time was on screen time, so like 10-11 hours. On those settings, my battery does not discharge when the phone is asleep. And it barely moves when the phone is on. I keep my screen brightness pretty low also. But I don't under clock or undervolt. If I did, I could probably squeeze another day out of the battery.

[Xperia Z General] therealbroxy:
Thanks for this, I was happily running the Belgium FTF but am happier having the real UK release

Thank you!
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
You're welcome. :)
[Xperia Z General] Richy99:
cheers mate, I was going to vo via .434 and then ota update this but the .434 didn't wanna play nice lol so went straight to this
[Xperia Z General] therealbroxy:
Straight after installing it on my first reboot I was offered new versions of all the Sony apps so today has been a wonderful day of updates
[Xperia Z General] samxool:
yep, it took ages, but the UK is finally caught up with the rest of the world.

NOT encountering any issues so far with .244!
[Xperia Z General] alias_neo:
. 244 is a huge improvement, speed wise over 434. I had seriously bad slow downs on that, apps would take seconds to switch and open, gone immediately with this build. I updated via PC Companion and rooted with the 434 kernel.

It would be nice to see these FTFs released with separate kernels we can flash back to after rooting.

EDIT: The main reason I suggest it is for people who don't download the FTFs (due to slow speeds etc) but update via Sony, and just need the kernel to flash back after rootong. If you had the FTF you could just exclude everything else anyway so it's a non issue.
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
You can create your own ftf that include only the kernel by following the guides available here.
[Xperia Z General] alias_neo:
Of course I can, but then everyone would have to do the same, when they wanted to root newer ROMS with kernel changes, it was just a suggestion to help everyone else out a little ;)
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Everyone wouldn't have to create a 'kernel only' FTF if you uploaded it and shared it here after you created it, just like everyone hasn't got to create this complete FTF. :D

In any case, all of the 244 releases use the same kernel, so the FTFs released by DooMLoRD in his rooting thread are all that's needed for now. ;)

In the case of future updates, if I create and upload an FTF, I will most probably include a kernel FTF in the post for rooting purposes.
[Xperia Z General] Richy99:
No lte support in this rom
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
What do you mean? It's a C6603 rom, therefore has LTE support.

Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler, then look in Service info -> Configuration. What does it say under 'Working bands'?

Edit: What network provider are you using?
[Xperia Z General] golfgtiedition30:
Yes it does. It works great :thumbup:
[Xperia Z General] hamie55:
Mine has the lte support to. Has anyone noticed the wallet settings have gone in the previous UK generic build they where there
[Xperia Z General] Richy99:
it isn't showing under network modes in the network settings
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
What network provider are you using? The option might only show up if your provider has LTE capabilities (not sure on this).
[Xperia Z General] Richy99:
it was there on the .423 custom rom I was using and i'm on three
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Flash the firmware with full wipe.

It should be available in the menu even if you don't have lte service.
[Xperia Z General] Richy99:
yeah that is my next option a full wipe, pain in the arse mind
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Ah, the LTE option should always show up then. I was unsure on that. :)

In any case, 3 UK don't have LTE yet, do they?

If you want the option to show up that badly, then try flashing again with no wipe first. After that, if it doesn't solve the issue, your only option is a wipe.

Perhaps something got messed up if you flashed over a custom rom with no wipe. ;)
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
We don't have lte(4g) here in my country but the option is here.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Yes, I understand that it should always show up now. :D

It seems that it's not a problem with the FTF I created though, so all good.

Edit: Although, it does appear that you do have LTE capabilities in Lebanon now (at least in Beirut) . :)

https://www.alfa.com.lb/press/default.aspx

Although, that's very recently, so it's obvious that the LTE option still showed up before that was the case.
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Yes this option was available from before in my phone,but this lte service is new and it was only available for tablets and pads not for phones.
[Xperia Z General] Richy99:
just flashed the generic es .244 and lte is showing up no wipe of data just cache and apss log, flash the uk .244 and no lte

ah well ill leave it for now on the uk rom
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
[MENTION=2452820]kingvortex[/MENTION] did you delete all the files in blobs folder before downloading the firmware?if not maybe the files are mixed up with previous customization?
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Yes, I deleted the entire db directory.

It works fine for others here, so I don't think it can be a problem with the FTF.

[MENTION=2155395]Richy99[/MENTION] Did you check the MD5 sum of the FTF after you extracted it?
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
So better if he do a full wipe,cause ES firmware show LTE in the menu and UK firmware show 4g.
[Xperia Z General] spencer24:
I updated mine via PC companion and LTE doesn't show either I'm on o2
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Hmm. This is strange. Which firmware did you upgrade from? UK or a different region?

Edit: I had a look in the build.prop of both the Generic UK and Generic ES 10.3.1.A.0.244 roms.

Generic UK -

ro.telephony.default_network=9

Generic ES -

ro.telephony.default_network=0

I have no idea if that makes a difference or not.
[Xperia Z General] spencer24:
I came from Generic ES 10.3.1.A.0.244 altered the build prop to to get the uk version
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
I see 4G as LTE unlike the above screen that shows 4G. Does that change the status bar icon too?
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Are you also on UK unbranded?

Yes they should be the same,in the option and in the status bar.

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

What i know its not related to the build.prop it's a framework issue,and a system wipe will fix it.

Someone need to confirm with a full wipe flashing.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
But framework is in /system/framework.

I thought /system was wiped when flashing with PCC or Flashtool. I don't see how wiping /data will make a difference. Or am I missing something?

Oh well, hopefully somebody will try flashing with a wipe and confirm whether or not it fixes the issue. :)
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Yes correct but flashtool isn't wiping caches correctly i don't know why.

I did some test and i used flashtool to wipe only cache(i exclude everything else) and rebooting i didn't saw android is upgrading the apps.

So maybe when using flashtool without wiping data,all the caches from previous firmware will stay even if you tick wipe cache.
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
No, I think I flashed the German ROM (unbranded). Can't remember for sure now!
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
'Android is upgrading' appears when the dalvik cache has to be rebuilt. I think the dalvik cache is in /data, not /cache.

In any case, the dalvik cache is definitely wiped when upgrading with the PCC, as that message appears every time on first boot after upgrading. ;)

Something strange is happening in any case and I would like to see if a wipe fixes it. Hopefully somebody will try it. :)
[Xperia Z General] AndroidDan:
No lte here and wallet from nfc has disappeared but that's it really lol
[Xperia Z General] rowlarry:
Hi Guys

Not sure if this is relevant or not...I noticed that I didn't have the 4G/LTE option in my menu either after updating to 434 and a full wipe, then updating to 244 via PC companion with no wipe.

Have just done a full reset and update to 244 via SUS, and I still don't have the option in the menu, nor the wallet option. Is it missing from this update?

I am on GiffGaff (o2 btw).

Larry
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
So you did a repair (install with full wipe) via SUS and you have no LTE/4G option in network settings? This is strange indeed.

Can you try a couple of things?

1. Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler, then look in Service Info -> Configuration. What does it say under 'Working bands'?

2. Enter *#*#4636#*#* in the dialler, then select 'Phone information'. What options do you have under 'Set preferred network type'? Anything to do with LTE/4G?
[Xperia Z General] Mountainjew:
I'm also getting this issue. Though under the phone info settings it has LTE/GSM/CDMA.

Though that's not even my biggest issue. I just got my phone back from repair last night and somehow they managed to unlock my perm locked bootloader. So i thought, great, i'll flash some roms! Flashed cyanogenmod 10.2 and everything worked except the data connection. So i decided to flash this rom to return to stock to see if that fixed it. Nope. Not even getting gprs/gsm and all the network providers have a red x beside them. Tried copying APN details from my other phone and reseating the sim card etc, nothing worked.

The baseband is being recognized as the one in the OP. Tried reflashing through flashtool etc, but my radio seems to be completely dead :crying:
[Xperia Z General] wonneil:
You didn't accidently hit turn off radio, just under where you get the network info, did you?

I am also not seeing the 4g option but assumed that was because the Three network wasn't on 4g yet, I thought having the 4g option was sim based?
[Xperia Z General] Mountainjew:
Nah, it's now doing that on any rom. No 3g/gsm etc. Wifi works fine, so at least the radio does something! :silly:

I'm guessing it's something silly like my phone being blocked. Heard some nasty things about my insurer doing that kinda thing.
[Xperia Z General] alias_neo:
Gah

I'd never seen the screen flickering everyone was talking about until today, while I'm using 244 Generic UK, so it seems unfortunately that it still suffers from the issue others have seen.

The black section for the nav bar just flickers and jumps up and down on the screen (as if the nav-bar is rapdily growing and shrinking).

Shame :(
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
People with missing 4g gives misleading information and they don't want to try anything.
[Xperia Z General] rowlarry:
That's a bit unfair, some people have work to do you know!

To respond to the previous question:

1. Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler, then look in Service Info -> Configuration. What does it say under 'Working bands'?

GSM850,900,1800,1900 UMTSBC_1,5,8 LTE_BC1,3,5,7,8,20

2. Enter *#*#4636#*#* in the dialler, then select 'Phone information'. What options do you have under 'Set preferred network type'? Anything to do with LTE/4G?

Lots of options, including LTE/CDMA, LTE/GSM, LTE/GSM/CDMA, LTE Only

Hope this helps.
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Did you flashed the firmware in here or just pcc and sus?
[Xperia Z General] rowlarry:
Just SUS.
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
So why you are reporting the issue in this thread?

We thought the problem in this firmware package.

This is UK unbranded firmware not O2.
[Xperia Z General] wonneil:
Well if he hasn't got it after updating then it sounds like it is not a problem with this rom, and that both the o2 and unbranded UK rom have no option of 4g.

Has anyone using a UK stock rom got the 4g option? I am guessing that maybe it's only EE branded phones that have?
[Xperia Z General] AndroidDan:
I've looked into the phone information where you can select loads of options to do with network and I am running unbranded UK this update but won't allow me select 4g it just switches no To wcdma could it be that my SIM Dont support 4g?
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
I don't have 4g enabled sim and i have the option.
[Xperia Z General] rowlarry:
Wind yourself in a bit chum, did you read my initial post?

I thought by giving you this information, it may help resolve the issue. FYI, I am on UK Unbranded not O2. I was just wondering whether there was a problem with the new release as a whole (including the FTF).

Give people a bit more leeway eh?
[Xperia Z General] AndroidDan:
I personally don't have the option it don't show up yet my device is the c6603 it's claims but until I see the option on my device I'm going to say that it don't support 4g and it's a manufacture defect
[Xperia Z General] mozzy:
I'm currently on a custom Rom, I'm rooted and bootloader unlocked.

I want to put my z back to stock, unroot and re lock the bootloader, what's the easiest way to do this?
[Xperia Z General] spencer24:
I don't think it's a hardware fault as I've had the option before on the Spanish .244 but not on UK gen.
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
It won't be a hardware fault. My wife has an Xperia SP and is on Three. She doesn't have the LTE option either, and it has the original out of the box firmware.

I believe the SIM is hiding the option, but there must be an option to allow the SIM content to hide options and some ROMs are set to ignore it.

As an aside, I guess this will mean having to change SIM card (officially) if Three UK users want to use 4G when it launches. Or that they'll send out a SIM update?
[Xperia Z General] AndroidDan:
Well I'm going to try a 4g SIM in a bit see if it works

Edit: turned phone of removed SIM and 4g comes up it is definitely SIM based ( it allows me to select 4g in mobile networks without signal)
[Xperia Z General] alias_neo:
I'm on UK Generic and on TMobile 3G sim, I still see the option like I always have.
[Xperia Z General] tonycrew:
I have UK unbranded XZ did the SUS update when it came out, and have a pay as you go Three sim in and i can see the LTE option and have been able to see it since i had the phone even when i had 423 CE rom.

So i dont think itt's a Sim issue as it is there still when i put my Vodaphone Sim in as well.
[Xperia Z General] wonneil:
Nice deducting Dan, I can also confirm this, anyone who doesn't have the option just take your sim out and then try, you then get the option of 4g preferred.

Obviously there must be a way to lock out the option with the sim card, although why they haven't done it with Three PAYG I don't know. Hopefully there will be some sort of sim update when 4G is available on Three, otherwise we will all need new cards.

I did set it to 4G preferred but as soon as I put the sim back in it is now set back to WCDMA preferred.
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
I didn't know Three ever used SIM updating.. in the UK I always thought it was only Orange and (the then) One 2 One.

Sadly, unless Three sends an update to existing SIM cards, you might find you have to swap the SIM. Even if you can figure a way to override it by using different ROMs, or changing parameters, most users won't be able to do this.

Ironically, I have the 4G option with my Orange (EE) SIM but can't use 4G because I have to change tariff - and Three is the only network that has said it won't be charging anything more for 4G, so has no reason to hide the option!

I do hope that in due course, 4G will no longer be seen as something to charge a premium for at all - and EE will allow anyone with a 4G handset to use 4G. Ditto for the other networks.

But perhaps the need to change SIM gives every operator a chance to try and extend contracts, change tariffs or sell new 4G phones.
[Xperia Z General] wonneil:
I am guessing that once all providers roll out 4g there will be a price war and within a year all tariffs will be same price for 3g/4g, if not just switch to the Three network! lol

http://www.coolsmartphone.com/2013/08/15/three-reiterate-their-4g-promise/

A statement from Three says this "We’re on track to launch in Q4 and we will offer 4G at no extra charge. When we switch on our 4G network well over a million of our customers will already have a 4G device, so they will get automatic and hassle-free access in 4G areas without the need to change plans or sim cards."

Which is good as it's the reason I went for Three in the first place, I will worry about whether I can access 4g when it's available in hopefully November, as until then I do not need it :)
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
That's great news.. but I wonder if Three is even fully aware of the issue? It could even be a side effect of the SIM being set to make some handsets hide the '2G only' option?

Obviously on its own 4G handsets, it can customise the firmware anyway it wants - but perhaps those bringing 4G handsets over will have problems.
[Xperia Z General] to_arif92:

Kernel-only
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Thanks. The kernel is exactly the same in all releases of 244 though, so it doesn't matter which one you flash. ;)
