[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] p107r0:
so far it seems that Samsung covers are safe - I recall only one reported incident here, and it was probably hw fault, not really related to case, also use those on both our devices at home with no problems whatsoever

custom cases are more risky - depending on model/producer, not sure about permanent damage, but improper magnets happen to impact digitizer performance and/or accuracy - there's been few threads on this in Accessories forum
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Xander314:
I bought a generic slim book cover case from eBay. It had a magnet in the back which meant the pen didn't work at all on one region of the screen. No permanent damage as far as I know, though. Presumably Samsung's own book case doesn't have this problem, but it's a bit expensive.

Couple months back I downloaded an app called LCD Density Modder. It's description was to make everything on your device seem small basically, and so I decided to download it. It told me to turn my mobile off then on for the changes to take effect and so I did :silly:

When I turned it back on, it wouldn't get as far as the sony logo. Can I get some help on how to fix this please? Thanks in advance!

Bro this isn't called brick... This is just a normal bootloop... Nothing to panic...

Just reset your phone via SUS(Sony update service)

Or flash a ftf file of your device..

Here I'm providing you the link of SUS..

Here Is The Link-

Sony Update Service (SUS)

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] iTike:
When I open SUS, I choose my device model, It says I need to connect my USB Cable to my PC, hold the volume down key and then plug the USB cable into my Mobile. When I do that nothing actually happens...
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] iTike:
Oh and also, when I go on Flashtool it says I need drivers, so when I check for drivers Sony Xperia E doesn't show up, but nearly every other Sony mobile shows.... Why is this?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] GizmOstic1177:
Bro when you use flashtool(run it as administrator..).. You dont need to look for your device's drivers. Just install flashmode and fastboot drivers...

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] :
Hello iTike,

First of all, I have had my Sony Xperia E(c1505) also in a bootloop so I know what you are dealing with! I tried every single possibility there is, and nothing worked, until my friend runned Sony Update Service on his computer and it worked!

So I recommend you using Sony Update Service as been said before. Install it, and run it, click Sony Xperia E and make sure your phone is been shut off! Click install/restore. And press the volume down button and at the same time connect your phone with the USB-cable, while you have it already plugged in in the computer! SUS wil begin downloading. Let it download and install. If the install worked plug out your USB-cable and press the power button. It will restart(it takes a while, but it will restart), and your phone is (hopefully) fixed.

If not, try to flash a stock .ftf file with Flashtool with this tutorial:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2240614.

And this file: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2409632. It is branded from the UK so there are some apps pre-installed, which you can't delete!

Hope I helped, and otherwise feel free to ask!

And It would be nice if you pressed the thanks button, but I'm not going to beg for it :p

Thanks a lot guys. Getting much closer, just a bit more help. I entered flash mode and now its telling me to:

2: Power off device (done)

3: Press the menu button (done)

4: Plug the USB cable (done)

But when I do all of these, nothing happens. My device menu isn't a button because its touch screen... Can I get more help?:confused:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] iTike:
And Sony update service says my device is already up to date. Then it says exit. That didn't help...
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] :

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] iTike:
Thanks a lot, but i'm stuck on Step 3. There isn't any Sony Xperia E drivers on the list... How do I get the drivers?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] :
Hello iTike.

You don't need any Xperia E drivers installed. Everything you need are the Flashmode and fastboot drivers! Just install, start Flashtool, click the lightning icon, and select your C1505 firmware .ftf. And then click Flash. Someone posted even a tutorial man, just follow it. If you are still confused, questions are always welcome!

Cheers, and good luck!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] iTike:
Every time I install the drivers it says they aren't installed, and I need to get them from the folders of flashtool. I've been doing that but it keeps on saying the same thing.... Why is this?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] :
Try to use a different computer? Perhaps that'll work!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] axonelover:
Sony drivers

I had the same problem installing drivers.

1. i installed Sony PC companion and connected the phone.

then go to Device Manager from control panel. you'll see adb device with question mark.

2. Right click it and choose the 'update driver '

3. Select the browse my computer for driver software option

4. And again choose " let me pick blah blah"

5. From there select Sony mobile or something like that that. I kinda forgot but it should be easy.

Also the name will be adb something.

6.install when you find.

can't give a full tutorial right now but it will work.

[Moto X Q&A] tkdftw:
Hi All,

I understand the differences between the Moto X sold by VZW and the Dev Edition in that the latter has an unlockable bootloader and more storage space but I have a few more in-depth questions about the device. I've called and asked Moto, but sadly I trust you guys to give me more accurate answers.

1. Will Android updated come directly from Motorola or will they have to pass through Big Red first?

2. Will VZW bloatware be on the DevEd?

3. Ay other interesting differences between the devices?

I don't really have any interest in rooting my device (tried to get some custom firmware on my PSP100 back in the day and bricked it), and want to (feel forced to) buy a phone on full retail to keep my UL data with promo pricing. Would this be my best choice? Thanks in advance for the help.
[Moto X Q&A] erik7970:
1. Will Android updated come directly from Motorola or will they have to pass through Big Red first?

I think future Android OS updates will more than likely be made available OTA by Verizon, unfortunately, despite it being a developer device. I've not heard nor read anything otherwise.

2. Will VZW bloatware be on the DevEd?

Not sure about this question, but I wouldn't be surprised if I saw bloatware.

3. Ay other interesting differences between the devices?

Other than the obvious unlockable bootloader, color scheme, higher storage capacity, there's nothing else that I know of to differentiate the developer edition from the regular consumer edition.
[Moto X Q&A] alex94kumar:

[Moto X Q&A] tkdftw:
Can you confirm the absence (or presence, hopefully not) of Verizon bloat? If I'm paying 650 for a phone I don't have any interest in tinkering with, I'd like to not have to worry about useless apps sucking up the system resources.

Also, on a slightly unrelated note, I've noticed that the Verizon demo units are a little sluggish compared to the ATT demos. I'm assuming it's either a fluke or the demo app VZW loaded on it. Can any Verizon users confirm the phone is just as fast as the others?
[Moto X Q&A] alex94kumar:
just root and then freeze or delete the bloatware with titanium backup
[Moto X Q&A] erik7970:
How could I possibly forget the most important feature of all?

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

I don't think we'll know for sure if Verizon apps come pre-installed until someone actually receives their dev edition unit and lets us know. I personally wouldn't have wanted to deal with bloatware either, but since this model in particular does have an unlockable bootloader, rooting and removing these apps shouldn't be too much of a problem.

You don't even have to do that. Just go into Apps and disable it. It disappears from the app drawer.

I'm not quite sure what's going on. I purchased a brand new Sony 32gb microSD card and it works fine in both Android and recovery.

Having a problem with Google Voice Actions that I've already worked on for a long time. Need some "Special Heads" to help me!

Have Nexus 4 with Stock 4.3. I run an app called Sliding Messenger that I use as my SMS App (check it out if you haven't tried it; it's GREAT!).

The first time I sent a text from my Contact List, I was asked (as I should be) if I want to complete the Task using Stock Messaging, Google Voice, Skype, or Sliding Messaging (the 4 messaging apps I have on my phone). I selected Sliding Messaging, and all has been well since. Now, if I send an SMS directly from my Contact List, it will automatically go to Sliding Messenger as the default without asking (as it should). In addition, if I use a third party App to check the App Defaults, Sliding Messenger IS listed as the default SMS Program. All seems well!

BUT! If I try to send an SMS using Google Voice Actions, it AGAIN asks me my choice of Apps to complete the task with. BUT it only gives me TWO choices, either the Stock Messaging App or Google Voice. No choice for either Skype or Sliding Messaging (which is ALREADY my default).

1. Why is Google Voice Actions not recognizing my default SMS App?

2. Why is Google Voice Actions not giving me a choice of all my installed Messaging Apps (as I got when I first clicked from my Contact List?

I've done all the "usual things (uninstalled/reinstalled all my Messaging Apps, and Reset App Preferences from settings. It still doesn't give me the choice. I've spoken with the developer of Sliding Messaging (great guy!), and it DOES work on his N4 running 4.3.

As a last resort, I went back to factory settings, reinstalled my Apps, and still no joy.

Any ideas from the ones out there with bigger/more "Special" Heads than me is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
