May b... But my old one did nt start only...use to start on its own n then off with red led flashing... got replacement..n last nite same hppnd...so uded the red off switch n it was ok... Sm software glitch it is
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
no I received a message. So I pushed the power on and there was no respond.

So I pressed again the power button (screen is off but backlighting was on), I unlocked the phone (I guided by sound) and pressed power+ vol up (phone vibrate 3 times) and restarted.

I didn't press that red button under the hood.

And there was no sod with 475 !

Now I'm downloading latest 510 (Asia Pacific Edition)

I will flash this time trough Flashtool. Let's see maybe some changes will be in that APE.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] predator21:
keep us posted... but i guess its sm glitch in firmware.... n once triggered it doesn't stop.... all the best...

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zgil86:
So I have a razr maxx hdxt926. I tried to root the phone by using the Droid Razr utility. Since then, I cannot even turn the phone ON to get into Boot load option. The phone seems completely dead. When I plug the phone to the computer, I can hear the connecting sound but I have no idea what I can do at this point. Any ideas? Am I totally screwed? Please help!!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killrhythm09:
What firmware is your phone running? Just trying to root shouldn't brick it, even if you're running one of the OTAs that patched the exploit.

Did you try holding the power button until it turns off? It sounds like it's still on if it makes the connecting sound when you plug it in. Try holding the power button down until it does a hard shutdown, then see if you can get into the bootloader manually (hold down both volume rocker buttons and then push and hold the power button also).
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zgil86:
Hello,

Yes, I did try the "hold power" then the volume down keys with power and nothing. Not sure what firmware this is did not get a chance to check on that. I got the phone today. Not sure what to do at this point.

Return it to the store?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murasaki no Kaze:
Have you removed the battery then put it back in? So you know the phone is off. If you do this and then plug it in, does your phone beep/start charging, do you see anything on the screen?

I had a phone die on me like that. Out of nowhere screen went black, took it to a repair shop instead of using the insurance, cost like $75 :/

Later I asked sprint and they said they don't care if you root your phone. They would have replaced it, but it would've been $150 for a smartphone.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonsbabe:
umm you can't take the battery out of this phone.....
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raymondrbowman:
Also I want to point out that I've "heard" sending your phone in for repairs and they see that it's been rooted and unlocked your next bill might be a much large amount than you expect. Just like as if you send it in and they found water damage. Google it before sending it in.

Which specific utility did you use? If you used the one for the Razr, you might be out of luck if it touched your bootloader.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Deathman20:
OK so looking to get real for some gaming. Some games just require a true controller to play it. With that said what is the controller to get out there?

Something easy, plug and play would be great. Wireless preferred but not needed. Ability to pick it up locally would be wonderful, as going on a trip soon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] player911:
MOGA is the most widely supported.

PS3 is my choice just because I like the 4 way pad for certain games. It requires root for the drivers to use wirelessly but is plug and play via cable.

The OUYA controller is also good. All can be purchased from GameStop.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] whoamanwtf:
Moga Pro, pick one up from best buy and take it on your trip. If you end up not liking it just return it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Deathman20:
Just got the Red Samurai from GameStop the other day as well I do have a PS3 controller as well.

Though really my question is which is better? Sort of torn on what to do. Never really understood how to effectively setup profiles on the PS3 controller which never seemed to work for half the games I tried it with. So maybe a my bad on that one. The Red Samurai seemed to work nice and quickly probably guess I need to test both of them out to see what is better.

Just curious to what people are using for gaming or the preferred controller since no matter what it seems like there is some tweaking involved with every one out there.

Oh and did try to see about the Moga Pro when I was in Best Buy the other day, didn't have one at all.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] player911:
Whatever works. You can use key mappers to make more games work. No different for a PS3 gamepad. The MOGA just has "official" support for some games, which is a nice touch. The ingame menu's and stuff detect the Moga and change accordingly.

There might even be wrappers that allow you to make the tablet think it's connected to a Moga.

I know we do this on the Ouya where some games won't detect the Ouya controller, but we can plug in a USB device (keyboard/mouse/etc) and then it will detect the Ouya controller as a plain jane and start working. I know it's harder on a tab vs a dedicated gaming unit with a full USB port.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] big_b0sss:
I would recommend nyko playpad pro just got them a week ago the controller itself supports many game from the play store without doing any modification all you need to do is pair it up with nexus 7. so far I've tried a neo geo emulator call tiger meme and the controller works flawlessly. the price is very reasonable compare to the steel free series, moga build quality seems decent. I got them for £26 in uk.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
I use PS3 controllers with all of my Android devices. PS3 is my preferred controller layout anyway, so it works perfectly for me. To use it wireless, you'll need root and the Sixasis app from the Play Store. If you haven't rooted, you need to have it plugged in to an OTG cable. You can easily find one locally at Best Buy, BrandsMart, HH Greg, Walmart, and the list goes on, pretty much anywhere that sells electronics will have one. It will work with any game that has controller support. If the game doesn't natively support a controller, you can still use it by just making a custom game map for it. It's super easy and works flawlessly!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] rebj2007:
You're using the original one?

And will class a ps3 controllers will work?

---SENT FROM MY RAGING NEXUS⁴---
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
Original what? I'm assuming you mean the original controller that came with my PS3 console. If that's what you meant, then yes, one that I use came with my console while another one I use was purchased separately when the PS3 was first released. Both are authentic Sony. That's the most important thing to beware of when buying from eBay, especially from overseas sellers. I've seen a LOT of legit looking knock offs on there! Some don't even say that they aren't authentic Sony, but if it's coming from China, new in the box, and only $25, then you can bet it's a fake.

Don't know if the controller you linked will work or not. The description says that it isn't made by Sony, so it's really a 50/50 chance. Some have got knock off controllers to work, while others have had problems. The Sixaxis app states that third party controllers aren't supported, so they aren't guaranteed to work. Even if it does work initially, who knows how long it will last before breaking or dying. I personally wouldn't risk it. Just buy the real thing and be done with it. You know with an authentic Sony controller then it will last for many MANY years of normal usage. Actually, I've NEVER had an authentic Sony controller go bad! That's through the original PlayStation, PS2, and now PS3.

My brother just got the One yesterday and told me today he can't get his to mount the USB storage. I asked If he searched online for it and he answered with "extensively." I told him I would ask if anyone on xda had the drivers for a MacBook.

So... does anyone have HTC sync drivers for a MacBook?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I only have Mac computers and the only 2 ways I can do anything with the phone and Mac is to either use HTC Sync Manager or Android File Transfer.

HTC Sync Manager People say it sucks but I've personally never had a problem with it at all.

Android File Transfer

They both work flawlessly for me.

EDIT: Looks like I may have misread. Did he already download HTC Sync? And it won't recognize? I didn't have to download any drivers or anything, I just downloaded HTC Sync Manager and it connected to my phone once I plugged it in.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sanders539:
I think he said he couldn't find HTC sync for mac. I appreciate the links. I will give them to him and let you know if it works for him.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sanders539:
He said it is not being recognized at all. He has HTC sync manager already.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
Weird. HTC Sync I believe includes the drivers for the One. Has he tried uninstalling HTC Sync Manager from his Applications, restarting his mac, and redownloading and installing? That may help.

If not, have him try Android File Transfer. It allows him to transfer files, music, etc from his mac to the One, and vice versa.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] thesuzukimethod:
Definitely try Android File Transfer

I have used it with my HTC one on my mac.

If that works, he will know it's some weirdness with HTC sync.

If it doesn't recognize either...then it's a different troubleshooting step...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CZ Eddie:
Hi, I am looking for a super simple, cheap (free?) way to automatically change button actions when a user profile has been activated.

Specifically, I want to change the home button action. You know how you can go into an AOSP ROM and change the button action? Well, I want that capability but I need it to be automated when a profile is activated.

Any ideas?

Please don't recommend Tasker. I'm already aware of this option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CZ Eddie:
Okay, I've searched everywhere and can't figure out how to change the action on the Home Button to open a particular app using the single click action. It can be done with long-click I believe, but I need single click action for this project.

I'm now ready to look at Tasker as an option. Anyone know how to get that to work?
[Shield Q&A] nielo360:
The main challenge with streaming from a non nvidia or lower grade nvidia gpu is

xinput.

Despite streaming the game flawlessly Controller support does not work on the shield gamepad natively, they just work as keyboard WASD etc buttons for playing games which is not comfortable.

Is it possible to overcome this limitation by getting SHIELD recognized as a 360 controller/detected as a xinput device.

This would complete the gaming experience. Somehow this is done in GFE and shield's native streaming.
[Shield Q&A] aDigitalPhantom:
Not sure what you mean. Are you trying to use the native nvidia streaming or something else? If it is something else you can try to use the xbox360 controller emulator.
[Shield Q&A] nielo360:
streaming via splastop, and I want to emulate the 360 controlled on the shield gamepad.

example

I connect 360 controller to pc, now the game will work with controller support on.

I stream the game to my shield, But i dont want to use the attached controller on the pc, I want to emulate the controller on my shield.

Don't know any way to do that one.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] implode99:
I have scratches on my Ultra Z screen and want to remove the factory anti shatter plastic but am having a bit of trouble.

Anyone have any tips on removing this ? I could only chip a small patch in corner off. It doesnt want to do like I have seen in the Z videos and lift up for me to pull it off. Should i use a razor top scrap or is there some solution like nail polish remover that may help ? Any ideas would be great .. heat ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maquan:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] implode99:
Sucess !!!!! I removed the shatter proff Screen protector from my Xperia Z ultra

I did it ! I may be the first one to remove the Xperia Z ULTRA shatter proof factory screen protector so far. It was a *****. took a razor blade(small) and about 1 hour of scraping till my figures felt like they where gonna fall off. There was a ton of glue I had to clean off afterwards with nail polish remover and eye glass cleaner.

It is clean as a wistle now! not 1 scratch. I dont recommend trying this for the faint of heart. My wife thought I hosed the phone.

I can sleep tonight ! woot.!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] implode99:
I was thinking heat but worried

Yes , thanks. I was thinking heat but worried I would pull the glue that holds the glass out .
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vaud27:
did the sony logo came off too after removing the shatter proof sheet?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hazmat28:
What do you mean by scraping? Did you actually scrap the glass display?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] implode99:
scraping

I just had a small 1/4 inch piece of razor blade i would jam it under and pull 5 cm pieces off. The plastic is very brittle and would just kinda break/flake off in small pieces. It took quite awhile to complete. It may work better with a diffrent tool.

There was no marks left on the screen and I was pushing hard with the flat of the razor blade
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hazmat28:
ooh ok cool. I actually have a very big scratch ages ago and still haven't decided whether to remove the asf. Might do it soon
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nanasi_js:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] implode99:
logo

Yes the Logo came off
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mlee1999:
I have taken the anti shatter protectors of my previous Sony's like the Ion but not on one of the larger devices. Do you recommend undergoing this long surgery either the Ultra? I usually prefer the feel and look of smooth glass. The Ultra seems to have a different material/process used making it much more difficult. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] implode99:
Worth it ?

Yes I feel its worth it. I am sure using a better tool to get under the plastic would have helped , like a craft makers razer blade pen with a straight/flat edge. You just have to remeber its not like the Z videos where someone lifts a tiny edge and pulls the whole thing off . It's very brittle and must be lifted off with a razor or flat edge tool bit by bit.

I put a standard screen protector on and it feels better than the Sony installed one. and I have the option now to remove it anytime .

I have ordered a tempered glass screen protector , ill keep you posted on how it works.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mlee1999:
Thanks for the reply. You are not kidding it was a PITA. Lol My screen is finally clean from the adhesive. Very odd choice by Sony.

Let me know how you like the tempered glass screen protector.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
hey dude can you post some pictures with out logo :)

and I can't believe it there was a glue...Xperia Z did not have it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] implode99:
hah. I will post a few shots tomorrow . The glue was bad real thick. had to use nail polish remover carefuly and wiped for awhile .. i dodnt want any to get close to edges if possible and gunk up the glue holding unit together
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] implode99:
mlee1999 , No kidding eh ? My wife thought i ruined the phone .. but in the end I made it clean as a whistle. Was crazy glue . did your plastic come of in a sheet or small pieces ? Whats a PITA ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mlee1999:
Mine came off in little pieces with a lot of glue residue. I started peeling with my fingernail before reading this thread and thought the brittle screen protector was part of the glass. It's pretty clean now, after an initial pass with fingernail polish remover. I usually don't like after market screen protectors but let me know where you got the tempered glass one.

PITA = pain in the a&%, it took me well over an hour with a sharp knife. Thought I ruined the screen until wiping off all the glue.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] implode99:
mlee1999, my experience to a T . I thought I broke the glass the way the plastic was crumbling . felt like broken glass. I was freaked out .. but I kept at it took me about an hour also . was crazy .. why sony does this is crazy . why have scratch proof glass if you are just going to cover it with plastic sheet .. suckage
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mlee1999:
I removed mine because after cleaning the screen the protector has a weird haze in the middle. In addition to scratching fairly easily you do need to be careful cleaning it. All prior Sony's were pretty easy to remove. The material on the Ultra was very odd. Screen looks great though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ring_GT:
Is there a difference in display quality w/out the screen protector?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bushako:
Speaking of nail polish remover, does anyone know if its strong enough to take out the silver coating from top and bottom bezel/rails? Mines scratched up and I just want it bare plastic.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] D33KK:
Yes, It sounds like it will be quite a lot of hassle, but 2 hours of work will certainly be worth it to have a scratch resistant screen.

Also I like the sound of the pure black front without the Sony logo.

I will probably buy a heat gun to melt the glue, peel of the protector, then use pure alcohol to dissolve the residue left on the screen.

This probably sounds a lot easier in my head :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nedooo:
Alcohol is not that good, you will see ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] D33KK:
I might just post it to you and have you do it! :cyclops:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nedooo:
Nooooo...I would rather pay someone than do that again LOL

Tempered glass protector is better than good ;)

Advice, for aplying screen protector go to bathroom and make some steam with hot water so that dust will be at minimum ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ludoo:
I finally got fed up with the plasticky feel and zero oleophobic protection of the ASF, and last night managed to remove it from my ZU. Once I found out the proper technique it went really fast, both the actual removal and glue cleaning. What I used:

* cutter knife, like the one in the attached pic

* lots of common household alcohol

I used the cutter as a very thin wedge, keeping the blade flat against the screen and angling it so the tip or cutting edge were not touching the glass below. The trick is:

* dousing the side you'll start from with alcohol

* managing to insert the blade flat under the ASF

* slowly raising the ASF with the blade flat by making it glide underneath, and continually applying alcohol so that the exposed glue is softened and the ASF does not break

Once the asf is off, I used an old t-shirt and lots of alcohol to wipe off all the gunk from the screen. The result is great, and the feel of the glass is already much better than with the ASF on. I should receive a tempered protector tonight, and will install it to protect the screen and have some kind of oleophobic coating.

Thanks a lot to all the people in this thread who gave suggestions and tried it before.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nedooo:
This is far from real life experience, but thanks for share. I advice against use of this scalpel knife, it looks like perfect tool to scratch glass. Big needle is more reasonable tool...

Just my 2¢ :silly:
