[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pshdo:
Sony has called the camera issue a bug, but if, when and how they will fix it, is yet to be seen...

Interresting what you say about CM, thoug he can´t flash..

Could one without TA, still get camera working with CM and alternative camera app ??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes he can flash.

Install doomkernel, use its recovery to flash CM. I have heard that SOME third party camera apps work on an unlocked bootloader. I can not test as I have not unlocked my bootloader and wont until the camera issue is fixed.

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

Install doomkernel to flash CM rom.

If you send it to Sony they will send it back and say you have voided your warrenty
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TPHex:
Had the screen of death a while back and accidently held down the volume up and power key (along with every other button!) to restart it. My camera didn't work when it finally booted up, did a hard reset and thankfully the camera now works. Not sure if a hard reset will fix your issue but it might be worth a try.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean473:
His issue is way worse than that... I had a similar problem as you TPHex and mine also worked... And OP, I really don't know what to say..Like greg said, the info was everywhere and did you really have to flash CM like 24 hours in getting the phone? Anyways Gl getting Sony to fix your phone however, it might be worth a try if you can go to their service centre...They're at least not as harsh as Samsung... Otherwise, greg's solution is the only one you have till Sony fix this!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
are you serious..this in no way helps him
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowstar77:
i know thats a stupid quastion but how can i find my phone have a locked or unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
unless you have unlocked it then its locked,,

also you can dial

*#*#738423#*#*

and check it if you are allowed to unlock in the settings
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowstar77:
tanx for your answer,but when i want call that number the number disappear just before i can push the call button
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TPHex:
Sorry for offering the guy some help. Ive never had this issue with any of my old phones. All I know is the camera was knackered (the exact message was 'camera function is currently unavailable') and a hard reset fixed it. Im not as clued up on this phone yet, havnt really had the time to have a proper fiddle with it. But whether my suggestion is right or wrong, im sure he appreciated any help that was offered. If i'd just broke my new shiny, expensive toy i'd be extremely grateful for any response that could help me fix it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zam91:
The question just is, if Sony fix's this, will it only be available if im able to relock the bootloader, or do you think i'll be able to install a update some time in the future, that'll fix it, if i stay on stock OS?

Otherwise, I'm going with greg's solution for now. [MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION], btw never thanked you, that's a start :)

I'm gonna kill myself, if im stock with this forever - i can live with it, if i just need to way 3-6 months for some update.

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]: I maybe got a contact in the telephone world, that may have a "inside" contact at Sony, and i bet that the person i maybe know, maybe know someone, somewhere in Sony - it's a small hope, but it's something - they should be able to reflash it there, should'nt they? (technically)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
I think that he accidently missed out on a number. It's supposed to be *#*#SERVICE#*#* (or *#*#7378423#*#*) :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
I really don't think you'll be able to get your TA back, perhaps you could get the phone replaced or something, but you won't get your TA back. Your best bet is to hope CyanogenMod development kicks in for this device soon.

Regarding how Sony is going to fix the issue, I think it's just a matter of a new camera firmware blob, they can't just leave people who unlocked stranded, that wouldn't fit in at all with their developer-friendly mantra.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zam91:
So there is hope - thank god <3

Now, i'll admit i don't know what TA stands for :angel:, but i can live without it, as long as my camera works - especially "Social Live" (that's why i bought the phone ffs)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes they can because they clearly state that it voids the warrenty and that unlocking the bootloader breaks the camera
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
My wording was bad, of course they can, I'm just saying it wouldn't fit in with their developer relations.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowstar77:
tanx.

when i call and enter configuration

rooting status :

bootloader unlocked allowed:yes

that means my phone have a unlocked bootloader or i can unlocked it later?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zam91:
It means you're able to unlock it if you wan't to.

Believe me, if you have unlocked your bootloader, you would know.

You have to apply at Sony's website, and wait for a mail with a unlock key ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] nuclear:
I just got the Gear and saw a video online showing someone using it with their S4. I couldn't get the app. Its not available on the Samsung apps store or Google Play. Anyone else get it working?

HERE
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jorge.aragon:
I have it with my S4 and can find and download the Gear Manager in Samsung APPS. Search for Gear and find "Samsung GALAXY Gear Manager".

Not everything working but ok.

Cheers, Jorge
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] code72:
I'm using Gear with my Galasy S4 and already when i was on 4.2.2 i found Gear manager at Samsung Apps.but now with leaked firmware 4.3 all works like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] big_pongo:
[Gear with Galaxy S4 or Any Galaxy Series] ... First of all, Galaxy Gear will only works with Galaxy (with Android 4.3), but at the moment they are with Android 4.2.2, so ... you will check out the apps for Gear and your Galaxy HERE below :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2476319

You will find all the apps (at the moment), and the main app to connect your Device with Gear is ... GEAR Manager (you need to download this first.

Good luck! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cruckus:
If your rooted and have the 4.3 leak everything works most of the apps work on 4.2.2 roms
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] big_pongo:
Yes, I'm waiting for it ... I'm using S4 I9500 (not I9505 with 4.3 leak.) :(

Thanks. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Onyok:
4.2.2 no go for S-Voice

Guess, this what shows up when your phone isn't on 4.3 JB, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dmoney94:
Does your battery drain fastest on your phone while connected to the watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] starscrean:
Are you sure in 4.3 everything works. Because I tried 2 different touchwiz 4.3 roms. And none of them worked. Gear manger said device was not supported
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] alexstoriu:
I'm running Hyperdrive on my s4 and the svoice notification is as far as I get too. I'm tempted to try a 4.3 and see if anything works better
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] le0.br4zuc4:
It works but not everything. S VOICE, weather, txt and email alert doesn't work on me using a 4.2.2 rom.

Media control, answer/make calles, change watch face, install apps via apk not using thw samsung app store all work. I'm sure that are other things that work and other things that don't work. I just can't remember all right now
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Onyok:
Not that I notice anything monumental on saving juice. Maybe, there would be a significant change once my S4 is on 4.3 JB cuz I know I can check notifications, use S-voice as it's meant to be and what not so less time unlocking the phone and screen usage... although phone's BT is running all the time so Gear could remain tethered to it but i believe it's BT 4.0 LE*, right?

*LE, Low Energy... though am not sure it's got a real world impact or just a marketing scheme...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] supramon:
Nope I didn't see any faster battery drain on my note 3 9005 :p
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] LilTechPrincess:
Alright, so I have been tinkering with my watch and have a few questions. I have rooted my watch and installed busy box, and all is going well so far. Additionally, I am using my watch with my S4, rather than my Note 3. I wanted this topic to be more of a few questions and general discussion/clarification.

I have installed the newest Gear Manager and when I go to Weather on the watch I get "Add city to weather widget on mobile device" but it never seems to sync. I have added a location to the weather widget. Is this by chance just a feature thats not quite working on the S4 yet, or am I missing something?

Pedometer - When I try to send my steps to SHealth it fails to sync. Also, known S4 issue, or missing something?

Gear Manager - Unable to install apps - When I navigate to My Apps > Featured > MyFitnessPal for Samsung Galaxy Gear (or any other app), I select Install, and I get "Product does not exist in this store(4002)". Im guessing this is because the Samsung store is reading my S4 build.prop and determining there are no compatible apps.

In re the last topic, could someone send me the APK from their watch for this app, Ill side load it. :)

I am at the office and want to install some apps via ADB, but don't have my cradle handy. Is there any way to get an APK to the watch that anyone can think of?

I am working on recompiling the stock camera app that does not have the shutter sound. Ill share when I get it done.

Update: Here is a thread with all of the APKs: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2468522

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Android-hotness:
I got every thing working on my gs4, including svoice, text notification, and weather by using the 4.3 rom. I also downloaded the latest gear manager from a post in this forum and ot seems to work great, including allowing me to download apps from samsung.

Gear is rooted, running smart launcher, a few games, camera silent hack, and everything is still working.

But for the life of me, I can't seem to use watchstyler to install a new face. It prompt'd me to install the Gear Manager... I've installed it successfully on my Gear via Wondershare MobileGo but still no dice! Gee, anyone in the know? :rolleyes:

This will be quite a task as Samsung seems to have gone to great lengths to insure the watch will only work with Samsung framework. Compatibility with AOSP/AOKP ROM's is (at least for now) a long shot. :(

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fbueller:
What's the most recent version of Gear Manager anyone can get to work on 4.2 on the S4? I can only get the initial release running, and nothing really works well (notifications, etc.). Each release after can't connect to the watch.

Damn was about to order one, but this sounds like the S4 "Google Edition" will not work either i assume. To bad. Would love the watch

I'm using watch manager v1.4 with s4 with 4.3 and they won't connect. Is there a later version of watch manager?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raculpeper:
Lastest version of Gear Manager 1.5.11304 is working flawlessly on my Verizon S4 running 4.3 based ROM. Update should give you connectivity.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] samsmith5:
twiz launcher vs cyanogen framework

I upgraded to the 1.5 version of the manager. However, I can't get media and texting to work.

I'm using a Cyanogen rom and its a possibility that its framework is not compatible with Samsung Apps. I need some Apps like S Voice to work so that I can use texting on the galaxy gear.

What ROM are you using? Is it built in or a mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Xeon.Jamal:
So basically, any ROM not an "official" Samsung nor AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc will not work on the gear?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Gamsner:
start upgoti

No thats false. I am on a Phoenix Rom v.6. Everything is working absolutely correct.

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

Yes thats correct. For now, to have the gear functioning correctly, it needs the touchwiz framework, which is not a part of the cyanogenMod. But I think, there will be soon some roms, which works around there :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] prodigyX:
I'm running Thunder Universe 3.5 ROM on my i9500 S4, and can't get Gear Manager to connect, even though it is a Touchwiz based ROM (heavily debloated) - Any ideas what part of Touchwiz / Samsung app is required? I'm getting the 'Unable to connect to the Gear - Update your software' message

I just flashed CM 12.1, and now trying to get my Gear 2 to work. From what I gather, there is no 5.1.1 based ROM that supports the stuff (touchwiz framework) needed for Gear?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] :
I am using Albe95's S6 Port (TW based) on my S4 and it works great with my gear. Official Samsung release with Touchwiz is currently at 5.0.1 - there are rumors of upcoming 5.1.1, but you know how rumors go......

Good luck,

I have an L720, and cannot get the modem working with that rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] :
No, I'm running a SGH-1337M Canadian S4, but the ROM is for the I-9505 version of the S4. Most of the I-9505 ROMs work on the Canadian version as well.

I Like to know if I can delete the T-Mo boot and poweroff animations,if can be deleted and just show the samsung boot animation?Like the unlock one N900 or N9005No T-Mo or AT&T stuff
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wonsanim:
This is the files that creat the Boot and PowerOff animations

1. bootsamsung.qmg

2.bootsamsungloop.qmg

3.PowerOff.ogg

4.PowerOn.ogg

5.shutdown.qmg
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HazMatic:
Did you ever get this to work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wonsanim:
Yes,Right now my 900T boot and shutdown with the AT&T boot animation because the T-Mo one is horrible but i like more the simple samsung one without any carrier stuff.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
If you delete shutdown.qmg. you get the aosp android is shutting down
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wonsanim:
Just Delete the shutdown.qmg? how about bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, PowerOff.ogg and PowerOn.ogg?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rg1973:
I'm guessing u need to be rooted to do this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ReelFiles:
Yes sir, you sure do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
I am not sure, but I believe someone on here merely renamed those folders to *.old without root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HazMatic:
So what do I delete on my T-Mobile Note 3, and also I'm assuming I can get to this directory (wherever it is) using root Explorer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ReelFiles:
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg - Boot animation

/system/media/shutdown.qmg - Shutdown animation

/system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg - Boot sound

/system/media/audio/ui/PowerOff.ogg - Shutdown sound
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wonsanim:
ReelFiles I change all this files(AT&T) and now my T-Mo N3 boot Like the AT&T N3 but this is a temporaray solution because what I like is to make my N3 boot with the simple samsung not with the carrier boot/shutdown,is posible you explain me the files or images i need to delete or rename.Many Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ReelFiles:
I am not sure, since there are also bootsamsungloop.qmg, bootsamsungmini.qmg and bootsamsungminiloop.qmg. You could try renaming and adding .bak to each file, (for example bootsamsungloop.qmg.bak)reboot and see what changes, then changing it back if it doesn't have the desired effect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] razorshiv:
For me, if you delete either bootsamsung.qmg OR bootsamsungloop.qmg, the power button does not lock/unlock the screen. However, holding the power button does bring up the shutdown menu.

As soon as you put the files back, the power button locks/unlocks the screen again.

Tried this multiple times cause I thought I was crazy. 2 day old note 3 with a fresh root. Can anyone else confirm?

You can disable the boot animation by installing Xposed framework:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

After installing framework go to the modules setting in Xposed and activate the XBlast module. Then go into your apps drawer, open XBlast app, click on build.prop tweaks and then check the box for disable boot animation. Reboot, and you will see no boot animation.

Or, if you would like a custom boot animation there are some for the GN3 here with instructions:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] V@no:
Removing bootsamsung.qmg makes screen stay on all the time, even after pressing power button....wtf a boot animation has anything to do with this???? wierd.

Btw you don't have to activate xblast in xposed, in fact for this particular case you don't need xposed at all.. simply install xblast, start it (if it complains about xposed, ignore it), disable boot animation and you can safely uninstall it. Most features of Wanam module also can be used like this. Note 3 is so weird!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DeoreDX:
Got my Duzign Brio textured case today. The outside has a rough mild sandpaper like texture. It is easily the "grippiest" case I've ever used. Initial impressions are very good. Everythin lines up perfectly. The cae fits *tight* and doesn't slide around at all. The felt lining inside is nice. My Note2's case got pretty scruffed up inside a case with no felt lining where it slid around inside the case and wore spots on to the phone. The outer lip did slide easily over my screen protector without causing bubbles. Time till tell how the case holds up, or how dirty it will get. Will update the post later once I've owned it a while.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ShaolinRaiden:
I should be receiving mine tomorrow.

I'm currently sporting a Ringke Slim, which is nice but I don't like the lack of the lip covering the screen.

Had the diztronic TPU as well but that case is a bit slippery. Great Pictures. Thanks for the info.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ShaolinRaiden:
It's a good case. The only complaint would be the texturing isn't as resilient as I'd hoped. I learned the hard way, don't wipe it off with any sort of cleaner. A Clorox wipe removed a large amount of the grip texture from mine.

Hi guys

I've been searching for some days on google and this forum but I can't seem to find the solution to this: every time I try to download my ROM with d2s (romupdate) I get a "Card initialize is fail!"

I've got a Qtek S100 with a 256MB MMC card.

Anyone any clue what I'm not seeing?

Is it an MMC card that you're using, or SD?

It is a MMC as I said in the original question, is that the problem?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] kta:
MMS and SD have different protocols and to be honest I never headr anyone who used the romupdate program with an MMC card. It would be worth trying an SD card I think.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jaganath_sr:
You need an SD card. It doesnt work with an MMC. Even I have tried. MMCs dont work for ROM dumping/upgrade.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] fieus:
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll try again! :D

Hope this posts helps for others ;)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] rafez:
Sure did - tried reformatting MMC card using NetX Flash Format at various different formats - all to no avail.

Is there any other way to dump a ROM without have an SD card to hand?

I've got 4 MMC cards - and the idea of buying another card just for ROM updates seems such a waste.
