[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JesusMcCloud:
Hi!

I was wondering if it would be possible to run a CM userland on a stock kernel (Yes I am one of those fools who bought a device with "bootloader unlock allowed: no").

This has been done in the past for other phones and apart from delivering a CM experience to locked phones this would also allow for a working Bravia engine on CM. Sure there would be some limitations when running such a setup (e.g. because of certain kernel modules not being available), but Sony seems to update the official firmwares at a acceptable pace, so there are fairly recent official kernels available: Most recent stable CM is based on 4.2.2 as is Sony's most recent firmware.

I can hardly estimate how problematic other aspects (ABI version mismatches, etc..) might be when trying this, but I remember CyanoSpaceMod for the XU which worked for devices with locked bootloaders. It was a working CM9 and implemented CWM in the same manner as the dual recovery on the XZ for locked bootloaders running on the stock kernel.

All in all it seems to me that all the building blocks are there, but I have no experience in building CM, so I cannot do this on my own, I need some guidance.

Would it be enough to simply build CM for the prebuilt stock kernel as outlined here, even if it meant that tehre would be no CWM support initially? The kernel itself can easily be extracted from a stock rom...

Any help -- even just an educated guess -- would be appreciated.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
Not possible matey.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JesusMcCloud:
Could you point me to somewhere, where I can find an elaboration on the subject so I can educate myself?

Why is the XZ so much different than other Sony phones? Or is it simply because Sony was so forthcoming in open sourcing everything they legally can, fostering kernel hacking so that the CM kernel now differs greatly from the stock kernel?

In that case I can fully understand that major changes in the CM base would be required to make it run on the stock kernel...

(I am actually just asking out of curiosity, since I got an unlockable device yesterday :D)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chriswbush:
So my mom epic 4g touch is watered damaged and I was told to call ausurion and I would have to pay a 100 deductible would I have to give them the s2? And if I do can I just report the phone stolen and if I do is it the same 100 deductible and I'm asking because my little brother can use it as a music player til it breaks completely. Idk if this is OK to ask here so mods sorry ahead of time. Any help with this would be appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
My understanding is you pay your deductible after submitting an "affidavit" about what happened, and they ship you a replacement phone the next day, so it's not a one for one swap, so your little brother can use it as an expensive mp3 player. :). Just curious, did you try putting the phone in a bag of rice for a few days before giving it up for good? Might save you 100 bucks. Just sayin' Good luck! :thumbup::)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chriswbush:
I've tried everything and the phone works it's just it's so slow my gfs epic 4g runs faster lol but thank you a lot for the info
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
How do you mean it runs slow? Could it be there is a bunch of stuff taking up ram? If you have any experience flashing roms you might want to check out some of the awesome work in the dev section. Some really top notch stuff over there right now.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkfryan:
That is also insurance fraud to report it as stolen when it is still in your possession, while the chances of getting caught are next to none but just something to think about it least

Making the iPhone jealous one user at a time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chriswbush:
Yeah I put the official jb update and it ran a bit better may just be the phone slowly dying

And I may just file the report for repair seems like asurian doesn't want the damaged phone since it was water damaged and honestly it wouldn't sit with my conscious to do that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
What? Asurion takes any phone back no matter what's the damage when they give you a new one. They even give you an envelope when reported lost or stolen just in case the phone ever gets back in your possession so you can return..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
News to me. Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
No problem. It's even noted on the site when filing a claim. I go through phones like crazy and I read everything. It goes something along the lines like any found devices claimed through Asurion are the property of Asurion and must be returned yada yada.. Something like that, it's been a while I lost or had a phone stolen lol

Ps: I had two claims this year. I would gladly screencap the email they sent me thanking me for returning my liquor damaged EVO LTE that was completely fried. So if they would take a liquor damaged one with a fried motherboard why not a water damaged one which still powers on? ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demetrios3:
A big part of me thinks Asurion is complete rip off. I used them once and paid the $100 deductible which pi$$ed me off because I had been paying them $9 a month over the past 4 years- enough to cover the cost of a new premium smartphone and the $100 deductible. And once I got my replacement phone (refurbished, not new) the first month or so were covered by the Sprint warranty yet, I still got charged me $9 for the "Asurion".

They want you to believe the replacement phone they are sending you cost them the same retail price you'd have bought it for from Samsung but that's bull****. I am sure they get them for buy them from sprint for whatever sprint pays for recycled phones., probably $50 then they mark it up 100% and viola $100 deductible. And if you tell Asurion you want a new phone instead of a refurbished phone they'll lie to you and tell you Samsung doesn't make the D710 anymore. But one visit to the Samsung website suggests otherwise.

In short I wouldn't think twice about getting over on Asurion.

And no it's NOT Insurance fraud. Insurance fraud is a crime when committed against a real insurance company which is regulated by the state.

Ask these people if they think you should stick it to Asurion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JayDroid412:
Take the phone apart and hit the board lightly with rubbing alcohol and a soft tooth brush.

Before you do tho take a few pics of the board and post them and ill let ya know the extent of the damage
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chriswbush:
I just went ahead and reported the phone water damaged and I'm just going to pay the 100 deductible I did get a call from assurion saying they do limited these forums and advises against fraud and they do monitor these forums.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitko:
Does anyone have the problem where they don't see any e-mail icons for notifications in their statusbar? I seem to have that problem.

I have auto-sync on, and it seems to constantly sync new e-mail as I check, so the letters are there, but I never get notified about it. Checked Gmail app for notifiaction settings, it's all turned on. Checked Gmail's settings from the app manager, in there notifications are also enabled.

Am I missing something here? Is it a settings or an actual rom issue? I'm running stock btw.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xuleca:
I have this problem too.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitko:
Not sure if this was some kind of bug, but I went into Applications manager -> Gmail -> Disabled the notifications option, then I enabled it again, and from then they finally began appearing.

Well problem is solved so far, hope this "fix" will help, just thought I'd let you know how I got around the problem. :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laxjones:
Hello,

This is my first post so sorry if something is done wrong or whatever. Ive been having issues with my front speaker. I dont think i did anything to break it (i drink a lot though) but its been completely useless for the past week or two. I have the latest cm 10.2 and franco kernel nightlies. I thought updating them might help but it didnt. I also can no longer talk to people on speakerphone like i could before (while the speaker still didnt work). I also tried headphones and now they dont with either. Does anyone have any idea what it could be and/or different ways to fix the speaker?

Thanks in advanced!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] icords81:
I'm getting the nexus 7 next week, but with all the talks of problems, where should I buy? If Google does find hardware issues in the next couple of months I want to make sure they stand behind their product. Is the play store the best place to purchase, or is Best Buy fine?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Jewveeski:
I recently bought my N7 at Best Buy this past Thursday , and I have to say so far so good ,No problems here.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] NsZebra:
Well

Google play is better than best buy, and lots of users complained to have hardware issues like stuck pixels in nexus 7 bought in bb
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] meekrawb:
No problems with mine from Best Buy either.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] stevemw:
Google Play store.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] IXChicharitoXI:
Got mine about 3 weeks ago from best buy. No issues here, I'd recommend buying it from a local store. In case you do get a defective device, you can easily exchange it for a new one instead of waiting on returning and shipping.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] joeZONE82:
I got mine at office max, 32gb WiFi with 20% discount. Great deal. Any way you go should be fine I would of ordered it but I couldn't wait. As far as issues go some people are just picky or there are lemons out there. I have light screen bleed but it doesn't bother me and I don't wanna go through the RMA process. Good luck with your choice its a good one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fysix:
Best buy here. Haven't had any issues. My roommate also got his at best buy.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] piperthedj:

I bought mine at Office Depot which I would normally not recommend, but they have a pretty cheap warranty ( $50 for 2 years ) no questions asked. You do have to mail it in, and they mail you a gift card though.

Hello,

i installed Xperia Ultimate HD 5.0 today, and i love it. It's smooth fast and everything. But there is one thing that seems peculiar to me.

When i power off my phone, and i put it in for charging, it starts to boot.

I don't know if that is supposed to happen, or what i have to do against it.

Maybe someone can help me?

Thanks in advance ;)
[General Questions and Answers] kahnysh:
Did you find a solution?

It did happen to me on my xperia neo when i installed CWM, i did find a solution some time ago but can´t remember where...

Now, my speria sp does the same thing and i don´t know what to do...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabbit140:
OK guys. Enough for me.

I've been pretty happy with my Nexus device since 4.2. Despite very few minor bugs it had been running absolutely fine.

Then the 4.3 update came and totally, pardon my French, sc***ed everything up.

First of all, the overall experience. Scrolling got much smoother for me. Secondly, that's all.

What got 'broken' was definitely the overall smoothness of the UI. For example, when I click an option in the Settings menu, it takes much longer time for the bluish color that indicates the click to disappear. It isn't only in Settings though. What's more, the click sound is somehow 'laggy'. What I mean by that is when I click something there's a noticeably greater amount of time needed for the sound to be triggered than it was in 4.2.2.

Also, the widgets drawer looks just bizzare for me. Some strange black boxes started to appear since 4.3 update (attachment).

Today, the stock YouTube app got unbearably laggy when scrolling through the list of searched movies.

But today Android has gone full retard. Just look at one of screenshots in attachments; surprisingly enough, the YouTube widget thumbnail looks like... the volume slider!

I've tried clearing data, cache, force stopping the YouTube app, even uninstalling it and going back to stock (+turning it off completely). If I go to stock app, then the thumbnail is fine. But as soon as I update the app... the same thing happens.

Also, while writing this, I noticed that my phone discharged by around 4% despite being plugged to a charger (in AC mode).

Seriously, this isn't an experience I was expecting from a Nexus device, a phone that should be a model for any other Android smartphone.

I wish I could go back to 4.2.2.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Yurij:
It's possible to go back to 4.2.

You just need to download the factory image from Google and flash with fastboot.

But you might try a factory reset before that to see if that solves the problem.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabbit140:
Bump.

Really no one has ever seen such a bizzare OS behavior?

Also, I am not in favor of wiping my device as I have lots of precious personal data stored in it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giovaorama:
I think also that a factory reset may help you.

I think that something went wrong with the update.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Galileo:
Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and I seem to face issues with the crappy stock battery, so I bought 3500maH battery and it works like a charm, however it is way to big, to bulky for my taste and as such I was planning on buying either a 1900maH Anker battery which you seem to like a lot guys, or one of these two:

- http://www.ebay.com/itm/KINPS-2450m...816538?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e76b86b9a

- http://www.ebay.ca/itm/MPJ-Battery-...hone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item4d11f0660f&_uhb=1

Which one do you think I should buy? I heard the Anker batteries don't overheat the device unlike the stock battery and some others, so I'm not sure whether I should go for the larger ones or the Ankers.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
I have no experience with those two but I DO know Anker. They aren't Chinese, they are cheaper than those & they are realistically labeled for milli-amp/hours. (1900 MAh) ANKER....for SURE.......IMHO.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ziida:
From what I've seen Anker has gone up in price. Anyone know a cheap source?

Also I think I read somewhere that Anker and ChiChiTec are the same batteries as well, just with different labelling, so I wonder if there's another same cheaper marketed battery
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] davidf9:
There are several battery threads over in "Accessories". Personally I read them all a couple of months ago then bought a gold battery from the "2450mAh gold slim" thread. Found on ebay the Japanese-manufactured that people had had better experiences with, bought it, and found (admittedly not 2450mAh) but longer battery life and far fewer brown-out random reboots. The difference was so stark, I went back a few days later and bought a second!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Galileo:
Yep, thanks for all your opinions guys, I will try to buy them both to compare them, if that's not possible though since my dad is the one buying them:P Ill try out the 2400mAh one, I just can't trust a product like Anker, I mean it it just about 25% bigger than the stock battery, it must be a trusty little battery but I'm pretty sure it won't make any miracles happen, I'm a heavy user and I make my 3500mAh battery last about 7 or 8 hours, so I think I will go for the big one. Thanks again guys for all your opinions. Really appreciated.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
I bought an Anker for my mt4gs and it FAR outperformed the stock battery. I bought two and they came with a stand alone charger. So awesome were they that I bought Ankers for my Note 2. The stock Samsung battery hasn't been in the phone for 6 months. I haven't seen a downside yet after 2 years.

Not possible, because iOS is specially tuned for certain system chips and specs. It's not like Android where it can be ported to any hardware. And even if it was possible, Apple would sue the heck out of whoever does it, whoever uses it, the manufacturer of the phone, Google, Microsoft, and Starbucks, just because they can.

Hello!

I am HeroCC, this is my first post, so please don't go hard on me. :)

I may root my android AT&T S3. But before I do, I want to make sure it is safe, and it fits my specifications.

First of all, I want to know how to do it. If you know a decent tutorial about this, please send it my way.

I have heard about clockwork mod, and was wondering if that is a good choice for a root ROM.

Here is my list:

Does not remove any data

I have a 100% backup before

I can Undo at any time, and I will still have all app data, but not rooted*

It does not trip the flash counter

I still have all the stock apps. (Kies air, AT&T Locker, etc.)

I will add more when I think of some. Thanks for any help!

If you find something that does not fit one of these, reply anyway. Some of these I can do without.

*For example, if I am at level 5 now, and get to level 50 in candy crush, and need to unroot, I will still be at level 50 after.

Thank you for your Help!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shortydoggg:
There are at least three different ways to root this phone, with; casual, cf-auto root, or by flashing TWRP or CWM recovery through Odin and then supersu.zip. I'm not going to recommend one root method here because someone else will just recommend the other and confuse things.

You are likely going to trip the flash counter no matter what you do, but you can reset it to zero whenever you want with an app called triangle away.

Also, you will need the app titanium backup to backup your apps and settings, so if you unroot or factory reset, you can restore them without losing your data.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
Just a note, backing up and restoring with titanium backup ONLY works with root. Say you backup while rooted, unroot, then find missing data, you can't restore the titanium backup since no root anymore..
