[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MrTallboy:
Depending on your recovery tool it may not have moved everything properly to the 0 folder. You might have duplicated all your user data. Use a file explorer and check the contents of sdcard. I think you should pretty much just have a 0 folder there which has all your stuff in it. I'm back on 4.1.2 now so I'm working from memory. Basically go up a level from your 0 folder and look what's in there.

When I first flashed 4.2.2 I used an old CWM and found I had duplicates of everything. I've since gone to PhilZ and all is well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rajbaba2:
Damn there is a folder named emulated that contains 2 copies of everything.. So that is step one but it won't let me delete it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] puydomgulat:
My phone restarted one day and just wouldn't boot up. At first it was just stuck on the SAMSUNG logo, but after trying to boot into recovery, it now sits at the boot animation. When I try to boot into recovery, the CWM screen will come up, but no menu will show up, and then the phone will restart after a few minutes and go back to being stuck on the boot animation.

I can enter Download Mode, but USB Debugging must be disabled since ADB won't recognize the device and I can't send any commands (yes, drivers are installed).

First of all, is there any way I can recover the data on the phone? That is more important than getting the phone working, since I was just about ready to get a new phone anyway.

What can I do to get the phone working? Everything involving flashing a new kernel, or resetting the phone back to factory seem to require a working recovery or the ability to send commands through ADB, but I'm probably missing something, since there must something else that I can do.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

**Not sure if this is related or not, but the reason why the phone restarted before this issue occurred is because the power button on the phone is a bit faulty. Over the past couple months I've been having issues with the power button; it seems overly sensitive so when I push it sometimes the screen will turn on and off and other times the phone will just restart as if I held the button down for too long. This is the main reason why I was ready to get a new phone.

Sprint reportedly preparing 'One Up' early upgrade plan for September 20th debut

http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/15/4733900/sprint-one-up-early-upgrade-plan

If Sprint gets a 64gb One Max then I'm getting it! Otherwise I'll wait for next year's crop

I hope Sprint gets the next nexus....kind of. I still really love sense 5. This is cool though I was wondering if Sprint would follow up with this. But an extra 27 possible 54 a month is a lot. Not sure of it'll be worth it. Def gonna have to talk and read about it in more detail.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ticklemepinks:
is it really cost effective tho? like i'm looking at it and how much I pay, (like 75 a month with insurance after discounts and taxes) thats about 900 a year then u add on their 649 for a fone, it would be worth it if u pay that much for a fone but geting it from CL or EB and it actually being yours to keep might be a bit better, i can actually sale my fone for 250+

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

and my question after how long unitl you actually own the fone, is it another yeah of this plan, cuz if so, you'd be better off buying it
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Blackcircle:
Compared to everyone else, yes is a good deal. But I see what you're saying here. You end up paying more for the phone...but at least there's more choices for the consumer which is always a good thing.

via sexy phONE.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im0rtalz:
I prefer T-Mobile it's a bit more but you factor in there is no contract you can end anytime and there's no ETF you only pay the amount remaining for the cost of the phone. I still think Sprint will lock you into a 2 year with $350 prorated ETF on top of paying off for your device all the while that if you do upgrade you hand that device back to them in a year.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] intrlude:
Also, this program may not be available to everyone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] shook187:
T-mobile's jump plan is slightly better because you're allowed to upgrade every 6 months, which I'm sure plenty of you guys on XDA know a lot of phones get released every 6 months. Also with the $10 monthly Jump fee, it includes insurance.

T Mobile is also contract free and I haven't read anything about Sprint heading in that direction.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rippley05:
Only thing about T-Mobile, I don't know a single person in Roanoke, VA who has it so I have no idea how crappy their coverage is here.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] AssassinsLament:
If Sprint comes out with no contract plans with the "one up" program, then yes, it's a good deal. But if you're still stuck to a 2 year contract, what's the point?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ctiger:
It is one up, and a million down.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Riff76:
I'm in as long as I can find a phone i like. I don't trust people on Craigslist so I rather go the Sprint One Up route. To each their own tho
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im0rtalz:
so reading more into this, there's a point of sale cost of 88 then a monthly extra of 27 for 12 months for a phone that it's valued at 649, that comes to 412 dollars to rent the phone. compared to normal route HTC one for 99 keep for two years after two years you own the phone for only 99?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bigdee1974:
Doesn't sound very cost effective. Not worth it to me just to get the "latest and greatest".

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] uh60james:
This would actually work out to roughly the same amount as I pay now, too bad I can't participate since I got the One on launch day. My phones never have good resale value so I could care less about actually keeping it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im0rtalz:
it's true cdma phones don't hold their value as well, but my HTC one listed for 400 with case sold in less than week for 375 not too bad since I only paid $149- $100 rebate from HTC, etf with 12 months remaining is 240, using my s2 for a while waiting on nexus 5
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] intrlude:
1) Program is not available to all subscribers.

2) You're leasing the phone, unless you pay it off. At 12 months you "buy" a new phone and have to return the one you leased in like new condition, can even be an insurance replacement.

3) There's no contract commitment. You're paying for a phone in 24 installlments.

4) If you do not upgrade, at 24 months you're dropped from the program and the phone is yours.

5) Only 3 subscribers on the same account are allowed to be on this program.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gobaers:
I think we should look at this from the Sprint's perspective, it might help people understand what's going on.

For a traditional 24-month agreement with 20-month upgrade, Sprint gets $80 per month, and provides a $400-$450 discount. That's anywhere from $19 to $22 per month, depending on exactly when you upgrade at the end of your contract. (Also, some people stay on their old equipment indefinitely, which is pure profit for Sprint.)

What Sprint has done with this program is essentially split the carrier and devices charges. Instead of what was formerly a device subsidy, they give you a $15 discount, and you pay for the device in monthly installments. It's actually not a terrible deal, especially considering they give you the option of starting over after 12 months. However, the actual monthly device charges will be higher because the $199-down is built into the monthly. I'm guessing ~$27 for a $649 device.

Let's see how the upgrade clause would work:

Sprint gets a depreciated phone, for which you've paid off at least 50%. For a new-gen phone, that would mean you've paid off $325, and are giving up a 1-year-old phone. If you trade in right there, it's an OK deal. If you trade in a couple months later, you've put in $400, and are giving up a 1-year 2month old phone, a worse deal. The longer you wait, the better it would be for you to just finish the term, keep the phone and sell it, and start over.

The TL; DR of it is: It's an OK deal ($15 discount vs. ~$18-22 subsidy from before), but it might be worth it for those that want the upgrade option. Upgrade option should be exercised immediately at 12-months or not at all.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im0rtalz:
Thanks I really like that analysis but will the Sprint One Up program only be for single lines? How will this apply for family lines where line 3-5 is only $39.99 a month. I think you forgot to mention you pay $88 also +27x12 for the $324. I'm guessing this will only be available for people who are on a single line? Also how will it compare since most the times 2 year plans many retailers have discounts and promotions so it is usually not the $199 price.

It really works in Sprints favor because they will get back your device and another $88, so within the 2 years Sprint gets $88x2 plus another $324 and they get your device back which they can use as replacement/repair etc. Nevermind the extra money you will lose when the 12month comes but the next device you want to jump to isn't expected to come out until 3 months after that maybe :(. Does anyone know if it will be free of ETF, if that's the case it would be awesome.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] XaoSilentrzk:
So your base bill will be $88 before the added device monthly installment? Sounds like a rip off
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im0rtalz:
I believe the $88 dollars is the initial purchase price, then the rest of the device cost is billed/leased to you $27 more a month. Might need some more feedback from someone who is actually jumping onto this program to see.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TriBeard:
the 88 dollars would be the cost to you at the end of 1 year when you trade in your current phone in order to get a new one.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sslbaron:
I believe you're both right. From what I've read you have to pay the $88 dollars when you get the phone initially, then you pay you're monthly bill plus the monthly phone charge (~$27). If you want to upgrade when you're eligible, after one year, you have to pay the $88 to upgrade and turn in your old phone.

It doesn't seem like a bad deal if you want to upgrade every year. :)

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

I read somewhere that you have to pay the remaining value of the phone if you bale early.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] XaoSilentrzk:
Sprint should have just kept the premier plan where you upgrade every year anyways...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rippley05:
Wait...so 88$ up front, 27$ extra a month for a year plus another 88$ AND my old phone? 500$ a year to lease a phone basically...lol..that's not a good deal
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im0rtalz:
Yess I really miss that plan that rewards us for paying on time!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] XaoSilentrzk:
Exactly... I've only missed payment one time because I was lazy and forgot. It just seems like the US takes pride in ****ing customers over
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cornelious2:
Not to mention you don't get the 15 dollar discount after the phone is paid off
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TriBeard:
No. Right now, there is no down payment on the phone. You just pay the taxes on the MSRP of the device, and walk out the door with it. for most devices, it works out to 7 bucks a month on top of one of their new plans after they figure in the discount, and then the X amount per month. The HTC one, Moto x, and most other devices are 22 bucks a month to rent (before the 15 dollar discount), but the s4 is 24 and the note 2 is 27. I have no clue what the iPhones are.

Therefore, if you do the math, at the end of one year, should you decide to trade in your device, you have paid a grand total of (assuming one of the 22 dollar a month devices) 88 dollars for the year + the 30ish bucks you paid for taxes up front. It's not really a bad deal.

The only catch, and the reason that I didn't do it, was because I am on an older, unlimited everything family plan, and so for me to do it, it would have raised my actual plan cost by 50 bucks to just get on the My Way plan, then the extra 7 per line on top of that. However, should you have one of the newer plans anyway, it's definitely worth checking out.

Also, if you are more than 12 months into your existing contract, you can trade in your phone and start One Up at any time.

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

But you are no longer financing the device, so you are no worse off than you would have been if you had never started the program anyway. (besides the fact that you are arguably paying a subsidy on a device that is no longer being subsidized, but you are doing that anyway if you just buy one full price. Doesn't make it right, but that's what it is.)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cornelious2:
Ya but tmobiles is a perninant discount so once your phone is paid your plan stays cheaper. Its a shell game and ends up costing more than the older plans.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] XaoSilentrzk:
I'm just going to stay on my purchase schedule.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TriBeard:
I'm not saying that in this regard, TMobile doesn't have the best deal for people who want to upgrade more than once every two years. However, no carrier is good everywhere, and TMobile is not good in a lot of places. Therefore it's not an option for everyone, and for the people who have good sprint service around them and are on a qualifying plan, 7 bucks more a month isn't a bad deal. Especially when compared to the similar plans by ATT and Verizon.

I know the resolution is the same, but this doesn't mean it's the same screen. In particular, the nexus 10 had awful colours and wasn't very bright

In comparison the original note 10.1 had great colours and was brighter, so I'm hoping the panel on the note 10.1 is the best of both worlds

Any ideas?

Just thought I would do a quick poll

How many of you have had to return your handsets to the suppliers/manufacturers for replacements or repairs :?:

I had mine for a month and had to send it back - the phone echoed everything I said to the listener and it apparently sounded like there was something loose in the mouthpiece - oh, and it kept on crashing!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Ryland Johnson:
Hi, I am the proud owner of the Z mobile also the z tablet. I do ponder though if even I as a complete technophile would find use for the Ultra?

I used to own the Samsung galaxy S111 also the Note. I was very pleased with the S3 but soon sold the Note as every time I sat in the car the phone would dig into my groin! Its most appealing strength was its large size yet the large size was also its most challenging aspect to live with.

I am used to just picking up my mobile and putting it in my pocket and living an average sort of life. To that end I just cant see how I would live with the Ultra. lets face it, its truly massive and does come very close to the 7" tablet range?

Worries are. Flex. This is so thin it just has to flex and being so thin that glass on BOTH sides must be paper thin? I have not read yet of screen breakages on the Ultra but ponder how this is going to enjoy life in a pocket? All that screen real estate it does sort of ask for trouble? Buying some sort of cover would make the device even larger.

I am not worried about being seen holding this to my ear as I already have the SBH52 on order so would be able to use that as the phone device when paired with the Ultra. My main concern is where the heck to keep it while on the move and just how strong are those sheets of glass?

What are your thoughts? I want one but an hedging my bets on this so far.

Many thanks and kind regards.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
If you were annoyed by a note inside your pocket, you'll be mad with zu inside your pocket.

Zu is reallythin, but no flex at all. Hard, rock solid structure.

How hard is the glass? I don't know since I haven't cracked it yet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
I will also add that my Z Ultra is rock solid. One of the most sturdy pieces of tech I have owned. Despite it being a thin, it is built like a tank it feels.

As for size, it would probably drive you mad. This is not simply a phone one puts in there pocket and lives an average life with ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Imdking:
The body of the phone has an aluminum frame. So, those thin sheets of glass are mounted on a metal skeleton. Don't worry about flexing.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
I feel compelled to point out that though the sides are aluminum, the skeleton itself (which is invisible from outside, of course) is glass-fiber polyamide, which is basically a reinforced nylon, and it is very strong. It's even used in cars to replace parts previously made of metal. Very impressive engineering in the 2013 Xperias, if you ask me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] obmon:
I've noticed a bit of flex.. I wouldn't sit on it with it in my back pocket..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Ryland Johnson:
Many thanks to all those who kindly replied. If I may ask though? How do you carry the Ultra around with you? Common sense says back pockets are out due to sitting on it or even worse, being stolen. Front pockets would need to be very large indeed.

I ALWAYS use a screen protector and purchase a case for my mobile devices. The case is going to add even more size to the Ultra. My SXZ just goes with me in my front pockets without any concerns at all. I do understand this is not the same size phone though.:fingers-crossed:

I am puzzled. I want the Ultra, I don't want the new Note 3, not because the Note 3 is a poor device its just the looks, aesthetics again. Samsung, to me, look and feel cheap even though they are brilliant devices. The new Sony range look and feel like a device at this price should.

I am also very concerned that being this thin the strength in the Ultra, will in no small part, come from the glass itself regardless of the sandwich interior materials?

BTW Aluminium at that grade and thickness is used on the Ultra to make it look premium, as another poster mentioned the body is made from a hybrid mixture of carbonates. Again though with the tiny dimensions we are debating here even that fact may not be sufficient to ensure overall strength? I really don't know and its could be a very expensive learning curve:confused:

Its a dilemma for me?:p

Again, many thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Well, if you REALLY want the Ultra, but you also want extremely good battery life, then look no further. I present to you - a 15000 mAh external battery :p

It's actually not that stupid. You told us that you need battery when you're out flying and stuff, but you're seated when you fly, so why not just plug this beast of a thing into the Ultra when the battery drops? And when you're done with it, put in back in your bag :p It's only $50 on Amazon (original price is $140)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
Last time I put my phone in back pocket was ages ago. An old siemens, monochrome, shockproof. So I sat on it and duh the lcd broke. Do remember that lcd panels back in those days has a large gap with the outer screen. So don't put your phone in back pocket, no matter how thick they are.

Back on track, I carry my zu in my front pocket with a flip case. Fits because it's thin, but the length of the phone needs deep pocket indeed.
