Can I flash from any variant of ROM/Kernel on the E988 if I am from Australia?

We don't have AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile. We do have LTE carriers but I don't use them as they are severely underdeveloped and waste battery in my city. The plans are also very expensive and they don't offer prepaid services on LTE :(

My network runs on GSM/UMTS with the following frequencies.

2G

900Mhz

1800Mhz

3G

900MHz

2100MHz
[LG Optimus G Pro] manhktqd:
Maybe...yes, just go to play store, install FreeGee so that pass bootloader and install custom recovery. And boot into recovery, backup your rom.

After all, flash any rom you need. If have any proplems, just restore your rom using custom recovery.

You should flash stock firmware 10d from HongKong E988 to use 2G mode if your phone have 16G internal Storage. Here the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2438088

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedsFan75:
I'm not sure exactly where best to ask the question, but hopefully I can communicate my intent clearly enough. :) I'm a programmer and android is still fairly new to me, as I've done mostly Windows and a little Unix programming for most of my career, so I'm curious of a few aspects that I'm not so familiar with.

The gist of my question is really dealing more with some of the nuts and bolts of an android installation I suppose? I'm really trying to learn more of the guts of android and a

In using my Nexus I don't use Bluetooh, or NFC, or 99% of the widgets that get installed, I know there are a ton of tools out there that allow you to manipulate and see various aspects of the system, such as intents running services, etc...

If I turn off NFC and Bluetooth in the settings panel, I still see bluetooth and NFC tasks running in the system. What would be the resulting effect if I took a tool such as "NoBloat" and disabled Bluetooth and NFC?? Would there be any performance gain/degradation? Would I also have to use a tool and disable all Bluetooth intents?

Is there a tool to modify an app's permissions, for example, is there a way to modify YouTube/Google Music/Gmail etc wanting to start at boot, or an app's desire to keep the tablet awake, and again, what would be the benefit/detriment of it?

I've used a few tools, AutoStarts, NoBloat, Greenify, etc... but really want to know more about the system impacts etc...

And if it's a stupid question... at least be gentle! :laugh:

is it possible to put Fullsize SD card into a miniSD slot ??

what i mean is something like a card reader, but the connecter interface in a miniSD pin out but not a USB.

and the shape of the card reader is in "U" shape, then we can use 2GB FULL Size SD with the Wizard!!!!

did you hear about the sonyericsson P800 MS JACKET ??? it help to put Full size Memory Stick with P800's MS DUO slot!!!!

hope there also one for miniSD

So I have this new tablet, and knowing all the bugs surrounding the touchscreen, decided not to update it (it came as stock JSS15J). However I still want to be able to use CM on it, so I patched the kernel to never update the touchscreen fw. Here's the compiled recovery from CM-10.2 synced today (october 2th), and then the kernel patch:

I can also upload the kang if anyone needs it. Note my patch has the old/new version swapped (small bug), it says new fw_version, but it's actually the current version.

I tested it with my own device just in case someone is wondering wether it works or not.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] xd.bx:
On a slightly unrelated note, my CM 10.2 kang would not have the Wi-Fi module loading. I had this error in logcat:

E/WifiHW ( 190): Failed to write wlan fw path param (Operation not permitted)
E/WifiStateMachine( 597): Failed to reload STA firmware java.lang.IllegalStateException: command '6 softap fwreload wlan0 STA' failed with '400 6 SoftAP command has failed'

Digging a bit further led to this error in the kernel log:

<3>[ 69.314300] wlan: [573:F :HDD] hdd_parse_config_ini: request_firmware failed -2

However the official nightly didn't have this issue. I tracked it down to the lack of a symbolic link, which I had to create manually:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system
cd /vendor/firmware/wlan/prima/
ln -s /data/misc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
ln -s /data/misc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin

I hope this information will be useful to others. Still not sure why my build has this problem and the official builds don't.

I pre-ordered so that I could get in on the unlimited data "glitch". When ordering, I guess I must've been anxious because I accidentally ordered the white when I actually wanted the black. Do u guys think Verizon will swap it for me at a store? What's most important is keeping my unlimited data so if it means that I'll have to keep the White, then so be it.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banggugyangu:
As one with a verizon manager as family, I can tell you that the upgrade is tied to the ESN of that specific device. Swapping before activating can very well set off a red flag that may cause issues.

My recommendation is to take the device (sealed in the original box) to your local store, tell them what you want, see if they'll work with you to swap it. Odds are, they will open the box, activate the SIM that's coming with the device, then open the black one and use that SIM in the black phone. There is a chance that they won't allow the swap, but I find it unlikely.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js0uth:
i believe youll be fine if you take it back to a store. just dont open it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupaloup:
My recommendation would be unless you absolutely need black don't do it. Given that you got unlimited data due to a glitch, any change could result in the system glitch reverting itself with no potential fix. Even if the glitch somehow stuck, you are looking at at least a 35$ restock fee. Personally I would say get the note 3 black otterbox and call it a day.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChappellHeel:
^ Yeah, I'm leaning towards just keeping the white. I don't want to screw up my unlimited and I'm scared to even chance it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lchupacabras:
Go on craigslist and post request for a swap; if you do it at a VZW store they'll even register the new phone under your plan's insurance. Had to do this with an iPhone 5 a while back.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsj1906:
I'm in the exact same boat as the OP. I really didn't want the white, but the only way I could get black during the glitch was if I bought the bundle with the gear. I was considering swapping the white N3 for a black one or maybe returning it for a G2, but after reading these posts, it looks like I may be stuck with the white N3.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkbrains:
I would like some advice on how best to clone the setup for a Galaxy Tab 3 across 100 devices that will be given away at a conference. I am very familiar with rooting my own device, but I am most interested in saving time.

Can anyone recommend their best idea on how to clone the homepages, bookmarks, video and wallpaper we have added to a prototype across a bulk amount of devices?

Obviously we could do it manually. Obviously trying to avoid that.

Obviously I could root, install CWM and create a recovery image that I could then flash across each device. Obviously this is riskier, and it seems like only a slightly less time-consuming process.

Any advice on backup software that doesn;'t require root, etc. would be great. I am a Titanium with root guy myself, so I don't know much about these more "legit" methods.

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl2128:
Have you looked in to using kies to back your "donor" tab and then restoring the fikes to another device? It may still be time consuming, but I think it may offer a partial alternative that does not require rooting every unit. There is an optiin to transfer data to another device.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anheuer:
Hey Guys,

I noticed that the Xperia uses a strange vibration motor.

With all the other devices i have owned i have not had this before.

usually when you type on your keyboard and it uses vibration, it will vibrate the same way every time.

With this one i notice the vibration builds up.

so the faster you type or make it vibrate after another, it will increase in vibration strength.

do you also have this or is it just mine?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exidouce:
I turned all vibration except ringing off. I do not like it at all. I prefer the standard vibration other phones have. It does to that building up thing the faster you type. It's either because of poor PWM control if it even uses PWM or an underpowered motor.

This isn't normal. Mine did the same thing and gave a weird noise that builds up the faster you type. I actually had another issue where the left audio channel didn't work when using headphones. So I sent it back for repair only to get a replacement unit because they couldn't fix the audio issue.

After receiving my brand new Z1 I noticed I now have a perfectly working vibration motor as well, no building up when typing fast and no weird noise. So this isn't exactly normal and I do think it is a defective or overpowered vibration motor.

I would get a replacement unit.

Sorry to being this old thread up. I was merely doing my search.

I tell ya.. this is clearly a design flaw. Either the motor or the driver - unable to give specific pulses.

You tap ten characters successively and you get 1 straight buzz all the way,.. and ya guys actually like it?

Ten taps should result in 10 distinctive vibration pulses.

One reason why I sold the XZ was this. And earlier I tested the Z1c in a shop and it had the same issue.

I've used a lot of phones before and none of them behave this way. The Sony is clearly the odd one out.

Just had my Z1 fixed for the vibration motor problem (making a sound that was annoying as anything but discreet) and I had the phone back in under a week. Excellent service (UK).

They did clear all my data though, which was annoying. Said they did firmware update but I already had the latest - just that I had put on a EU generic version, so they put a UK one back on!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mostarac mo:
possible fix

I found this possible fix on other site, so I will just copy paste :

Just to share my experience. So I had exactly the same problem on my z1. At first the buzzing sound was just as on the video (sometimes vibrates normally and in most of the times just buzzing) and than in time the vibration was completely gone and my phone was just buzzing whenever it was supposed to vibrate. My phone was like that for 2 months I was preparing to send it on service. However just few days ago vibration started to work again. Very strange. At first it would buzz in most of the cases but it was improving by itself over the past few days and now buzzing is completely gone and clean vibration is working just fine. I can still get a few buzzes when writing but that is also improving by every day. I am expecting in the next 10 days that typing vibration will slowly recover itself completely since I am getting better and better results by every day. I know this is so strange!!! But I am not complaining :) I really can’t think of doing anything special on my phone that could cause the vibration to start recovering itself but It did started after enabling developer options and USB debugging. I really can’t see how can this affect vibrations but you can also give it a try. Please let me know if this helped at all. English is not my native language so please excuse me for mistakes.

-Update-

Few more informations:

Phone: Sony Xperia Z1

Model number: C6903

Android version: 4.4.4

Rooted: no

Factory reset: never

Clear catche partitions: yes

Phone dropped: never

Phone exposed to water: never (few rain drops only)

OK, just to update my previous post.

Besides enabling USB debugging I did also cleared catche and data for:

Facebook, fb messenger, whattsapp, messages app, Xperia keyboard.

From my last post the vibration while typing has improved a lot. I am getting scratchy sound on every maybe hundred letter pushed but I guess this will fix itself in few days. Vibration has fully recovered in everything else.

Test vibration 100% success

Receiving phone calls vibration works fine 100%

Receiving messages (sms, whattsapp, fb messenger, notifications…) vibration works 100%

I am not really sure what has caused vibration to recover itself since it was not an instant fix but the vibration was slowly recovering itself over the period of one month.

All of this doesn’t make any sense to me but I am very eager to find out how is this possible. What could possibly trigger recovery of vibration?

If you have any ideas or suggestions on what could possibly caused this please post it here so we can help other users of this great phone.

*Important notice

Do not mess with any other option in developer options. There is a good reason why this is hidden from regular users. U COULD DESTROY YOUR PHONE COMPLETELY!!
