I've just finished a very interesting conversation with vodafone...

2 days ago I requested my PAC code in order to go for a deal I'd seen for a XDA exec via buymobilephones.com. I called today to get the pac code (takes 48 hours they said) and proceeded to signup with it on buymobilephones.com. Funnily enough their signup process died with an error on the final step!

Few seconds later, vodafone rung me... "We heard you're planning to leave becase you can't get an HTC Universal... we've made some special arrangements and you can have one, it's a Qtek..." he then proceeded to insist it was a Qtek 1620 (which *really* worried me because I think that's an HTC Blue Angel, not a Universal). We debated that for a while and he insisted that it's definitely a universal they're sending me - he described the rotating screen etc. So, it arrives tomorrow, new contract, fair enough, £70 cost, keep my wonderful 100mins for £15 a month tariff (was called online 100, and I'm not a heavy user so expected much higher costs to get a Universal).

So... I'm a very happy bunny (or at least I will be when it arrives tomorrow, and if it's a Universal), and I've only got good things to say about Vodafone right now! I should have asked whether the Qtek was going to be generally available from vodafone... but he did say it was a 'special retention arrangement'!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Churchill:
Let us know when it arrives please and what did you actually get
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tiger zero:
I am a business user and trying to get info about any smartphone devices is like getting blood out a stone. However they say the Qtek V1640 is imminent and "is the same as the O2 Exec". What finish it is I do not know. I presume it is just a rebadged QTek 9000

I would go and get one from another network, but we have hardware credit with Voda so it is effectively free!

If yours doeas turn up tomorrow I wold be very interested to hear !

T-Mobile and Orange have both offered trial units to keep me going until I can get a Voda one (not told them that!)

They will just blatantly lie to you.

They have to me already reg. billing and handset replacement.

The people they employ are often sub-intelligent and very young and the business methods of these companies are generally appauling.

Don't be suprised if they screw you over ..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Churchill:
I Agree with Gubb
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] matzie:
A slightly pear-shaped twist...

Called vodafone this morning to confirm I should expect delivery today. Fine they said, all ok, you'll get it today.

4pm and no sign so I called again... this time, long while on hold... out of stock, no idea when we'll have it, try Monday, we're really sorry. They gave me £10 credit on my account however for messing me about, which is good I suppose, but obviously I'm a bit miffed.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] matzie:
Called back again, this time went through to the retentions team... he checked stock levels etc, assured me that they were coming in on Monday and I'd get it on Tuesday. I won't hold my breath.

Turn off X-reality because it's not supported inside Netflix
[Xperia Z1 General] veletron:
Well you were right about xreality but on mine, it needs to be ON for Netflix to work, if I turn it OFF then netflix won't start. Smells like a bug to me.

Can someone else try with it Off and see if they still get netflix?

This is on the original 518 firmware.

Nigel
[Xperia Z1 General] hasona:
Okayy this is odd I have to turn off X-reality for it to work an that is both on the .518 and the .534 SW
[Xperia Z1 General] veletron:
Hmm!! Maybe there is some kind of miss-match on mine between the real state of x-reality and the state of the on/off switch for it!! I tried restarting with it off, and toggling it on/off, but the only position in which netflix works is with x-reality 'on'. Could it be related to other installed software - MX Player, for instance...?

Nigel
[Xperia Z1 General] veletron:
This video has my issue shown: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M51KPcYKZP8&noredirect=1 (about 2 mins in right through to the end)

I didn't I still had the problem appear if X-reality is on

MX Player isn't the issue it's more like the X-realiy engine is messing things up
[Xperia Z1 General] zippy1990:
Finally, someone with the same issue. Just discovered that mine does not work when X. Reality is turned off. It just sits there on the loading screen when you select a movie or TV series

Problem is that when I turn it on it actually makes the Netflix quality worse. The edges are ragged and they just look odd

[Xperia Z1 General] Kevbodian:
Wow, last night I was getting so frustrated then I found this thread... just turned xreality back on and the Netflix loads in a second. Xreality off, netflix sits on loading screen indefinitely.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyl:
I am looking for an email app for my phone. I've tried a number of apps, but I haven't found someone which does everything I need.

Requirements:

1) Handle Exchange, Gmail and Hotmail accounts

2) Prefereably, I should be able to get a notification of arriving emails which specifies in which account it was received (or be able to set up separate widgets for each account).

3) Reliable (see below)

4) Price - I'd prefer a free app, of course, but low-cost paid apps are also OK if they have a free trial version

Emoze and K-9 would both seem to have everything I need. However, I haven't been able to get my Exchange account to work with K-9, and Emoze has proven unreliable - it sometimes doesn't receive mail for days after it's arrived in the account.

Can anyone recommend a suitable app?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appelflap:
Especially when using Netflix. If you don't turn Stramina off the Netflix app won't be updated, making controlling what is played via Chromecast a big hassle. (Unfortunately putting Netflix on the list of apps that have to be excluded from Stramina doesn't help. You need to turn Stramina completely off)

I had rom manager and I deleted it. I am rooted. I have goo manager and twrp manager.

I have a 64gb micro sd card installed with folder mount managing 3 folders.

When I start TWRP manager and set up to backup to ext sd card and then start recovery

the s4 goes into clockwork mod 6036 and cannot write to the ext sd card.

I would like to use TWRP and not use clockwork mod which I thought would be gone when

I uninstalled rom manager. I can't figure out what to do next.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
You need to install TWRP before being able to use the manager. Easiest way is open goo manager, tick menu, install open recovery script, confirm.

Just as a heads up tho, many users have had issues with TWRP beyond the 2.5.0.2 release. You can find a flashable version of it if the current version installed by Goo gives you any issues.

Finally, a stock deodexed .67 rom. My prayers have been answered. This was made specifically for the C6506? I'd like to have an LTE icon instead of just plain 4G. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
Not sure about 4g icon or lte icon but if i can modify somehow to change it so it shows lte, then it will be done:) I am still working on making the 2.67 ftf and from then I have to make a flashable .zip from it tht can be flashed through cwm and then I have to port the xperia z rom over:) So I have my work cut out for me:) And not to mention I have my daily life to live too so I can't be doing this 24/7 lol. That would just drain me.

[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:

[Sony Xperia ZL] Greenarcher707:
Can you deodex this rom?
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
That can always be done through an app from the play store long as you have root:)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Greenarcher707:
I don't see any app that does it. What is it specifically?
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoridersd:
I also get an error when trying to flash this.

"E:Error in /storage/sdcard1/ROM.zip"

There's no MD5 signature to verify. I am using CWM v6.0.4.4 and coming from the latest CM 10.2 Nightly.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
android tuner is able to do it. its a free app
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
i made this by simply putting it all together so make sure you don't have signature verification on in cwm otherwise it won't work. Its just basic stock odex. Deodex is easy with android tuner and root is required for android tuner of course.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Chris_Castro:

Could be my mistake, or bad download...but flash did occur, without any error messages. However, it simply did not copy any files. All I was left was a SONY logo. Had to press off inside SIM compartment and use flashtool to fresh install a FTF via flashmode.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Greenarcher707:
Is it me or I just can't see an option in android tuner for deodexing the rom.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
when u optimize all apps it deodexs it automatically and tht its all in the settings its really extensive though u have to go through everything to find it. everything can be set on boot pretty much:)
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
So, this is a deodexed rom? or not a deodexed rom?
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
What does it say in the title of the thread?
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Says odex... but some of the posts left me wondering...

at this point, I think I want to say with deodexed...

On connecting USB cable to computer

it brick my phone?

Hi,

I have a friend at work who would like to modify her phone to have a shutter off sound like me. Her English is very poor, so I am afraid of rooting her phone. I would like to find an option to do this without root.

I saw a few mods in the apps section, but they all seemed to require root. Is it possible to add the camera shutter sound fix to the menu without root?

I should probably add that she is using the N7100.

C6603 ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymister:
I think it would be possible, if you ask me, but you would have to execute all the commands from your phone, by hand.

Very risky though. If you make a mistake you could brick your phone and have to reflash using a pc.

Not recommended!!

Also you would need some knowledge about how android works, before you try anything.

Just use a pc. That's a lot safer and way easier
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberM:
Actually you need a PC anyway, actual rooting method implies downgrading the kernel, rooting, and upgrading the kernel. You need a PC to down/upgrade the kernel.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymister:
Well, you're right, in the case of newest firmware. Older firmware doesn't an need old kernel, so it would be possible.

But for .67 firmware, yes you really need a pc.

Didn't consider that since I'm on unlocked bootloader, so don't need difficult rooting processes
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberM:
Well, you need a PC to unlock the bootloader and flash rooted kernels, and actually the last two firmwares need kernel downgrading on locked bootloaders, .244 and .67. Sorry i'm just beeing picky :p
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaorxan:
Ask me how do it.If it will easy for me I do it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymister:
Well he only wants root, so unlocked bootloader isn't the subject here, neither are the rooted kernels.

I thought 244 was rootable without kernel flash, but i believe you in that..

Easy answer, it's not easy!

I had rooted it, and flashed twrp, 2.6.3.2, and somehow wiped the OS off it, along with the SD card. so now I'm pretty much stuck in TWRP and can't seem to get a push or sideload to work. adb sideload apparently doesn't exist anymore, and when I do a push, I see the file get created on the phone but even after letting it sit for almost an hour, it still hasn't finished according to adb. I need to get a rom back on the device and not sure what to do next.

edit: I should add that even though I see a zip when I'm pushing, when I try to flash it, it doesn't work
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woof123:
If it can see the external card maybe you can load the os from there...Copy from your PC to the card and load it.Not sure what else you can do...I wish you luck.

This is Terminal Emulator, on the play store page, there is a link to the wiki for it that should help explain how to use it.
[Android General] DC07:
Firstly what is swap, you should know about it before

you go further

.

LEGAL WARNING-Read This before you proceed

Steps to enable swap:-

1. Open any file explorer(I prefer root explorer) and create a folder and name

it swap

2. Browse to that folder and create a file named swap

3. Open terminal Emulator and type the code busybox

mkswap /sdcard/swap/swap xxxxxx

(xxxxxx is the amount in KB, eg:- 383456 = 378MB),

and this process will take time.)

4. Now we will activate the swap and to activate it type

in terminal busybox swapon /sdcard/swap/swap

5. The last step is to turn on swappiness and to do it

we write echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness in

terminal

And now you are done to check the working of swap

type busybox free in terminal emulator.

NOTE-Last two steps are needed to be done after every boot

so it is better to make a script which can be started

from script manager......... and here is a script ready for this Swap.sh
