[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZiadK87:
I am seeing conflicting reports on flashing stock Roms from different regions. Basically I have the N9005 and I want to get the latest updates as soon as they arrive.

So is it safe to flash a rom from another region considering I turn off the activation lock before proceeding? Do I need to worry about my EFS being wiped/cleared? If my phone is region unlocked is it possible to get locked if I flash a rom from another region?

Which is the best rom to flash right now? The UK unbranded BTU one?

Thanks.

Just go to Sammobile and download uk btu and your be safe
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khizar:
yeah your phone will most likely get region locked if you flash a different regions firmware..but you can easily use CFs regionlock away app to fix that... as for efs getting borked, there is a high chance, seen users with both note 2 and s4 that have that issue so i would recommend backing up your efs...

[Android General] iAhad:
Yes I have reviewed apex and nova both. They don't have such a vast variety of effects and for some devices they are not at all smooth, example on the xperia U the apex as well as nova lagged a lot, but go launcher was just fine. And I have ranked these launchers on customizability and smoothness. As I said before these are ranked by me and are unofficial. Thanks

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5chrapne1:
Hi Bit N00b here.

I have a HTC One from Orange UK which I have unlocked and rooted with SU. then I flashed bigxie_m7_GPe_JWR66V_odexed-signed Rom to have a Google Play edition OS.

After Flashing I can not use camera or even get any network. I have tried to use RUUs to return to Stock but I was not able to install Moonshine S-off. I forgot to make a recovery file with CWM before the flash so I cant recover from SD.

Can someone help please to either install a Google play rom that will accept OTA or return the Phone to stock so at least it is working?

Went to casino couple of days ago and was given option to leave or hand them the watch until im ready to leave.i was playingbpoker blackjack all night and i took a call on gear and after 30min i had pit boss tell me i cant play with the watch on my wrist.then they its better if i just let them hold until im ready to leave the casino.i guess next time i will leave it home..that was the reason i got the watch.when im.playing poker or blackjack i did not want to take the phone out to see texts because they dont allow phone on table.people still dont much aboit gear so dont use call option in casino or strip club.

I believe a device with Camera and/or ability to make phone calls is definitely not allowed on Table...

I guess if you just wanna see SMS, probably Sony SW2 is better choice...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Astral07:
Hi,

I feel that my battery is going bad after about 8 months of usage. I'm not sure if i still have the warranty (it was bought in different country).

I changed to fully stock rom but it's the same.

It get's fully drained in about 8-10h. Light usage. Even with all the stamina mode/low brightness etc...

The worst thing is that when it's down to about 30% or less, it starts acting up. The % would drop to 0% and the phone would turn off, then after i would turn on the phone again, i would see 70%, then 22%, then 30% again, something like that. After that it might "hold" and work for a few more hours or it might just keep on turning itself OFF.

What the hell is wrong with it...?

How do i replace the battery on this non battery replaceable phone?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
You open it up :) search for Xperia P service manual.

Maybe it's not the battery just the stats? How long do you charge it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Astral07:
hi, thanks for your answer

i charge the phone overnight and in the evenings

from 7am, until 16:00 it is almost empty with virtually no usage since i'm at work...

sometimes i need to charge it couple of times a day if i use it frequently

battery stats have been deleted, new rom and all...don't know what more to do
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
No software installed?

Post bat stats along with CPU Spu Plus free(check enable charger events at settings) and Wakelock Detector (check the statistics since unplug in settings) screenshots and we'll see if it's the battery or something else.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Astral07:
thanks, i'll give it a shot and when i'll have all info i'll post it here
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tharansakthi:
For Less battery, go for Custom ROMs

I don't find this kind of drain now.. I felt it in my previous ICS. Now am in Enigma 6.1. This ROM has some mod, which will makes the phone enter in to deep sleep mode after 5 minutes. This makes it more battery friendly....

MoonBreaker v3.5 also a good choice.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Astral07:
sorry guys, i forgot to post my results, i will try to get that info by tomorrow

Anyway, i found this on ebay and i'm thinking on giving it a try. Do you recommend i buy somewhere else? Is there a more quality product out there?

I also found a dissasembly video on youtube how to get to the battery and it doesn't seem that hard + the battery on ebay comes with all the needed screws which is nice.

I have tried 5+ roms and none of them changed anything.

But something troubles me...i spoke with a guy from the Sony repair shop and he says that it's not necessarily the battery, it might also be a problem with the motherboard.

I do not have the warranty anymore so motherboard would be the worst option. Phone works normally though...

I hope some results from the mentioned apps might shed some light on this.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sanjithxp92:
HI

Why dont you try DU Battery App , it will help you to charge it fully. What i observed is that even though the battery status will show as 100 % but when you check Setting --> About phone --> Status --> Battery status it will still be showing charging & if i keep it plugged in for another hour or so it turns to battery status --> Full. So using this App DU Battery you will be able to actually fully charge the battery . Also if you try a custom rom with custom kernel like nemesis 6.3 you will be able to change the cpu govorner settings and can save more battery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Astral07:
thanks, i'll check it out

i have locked BL so no possibility for custom kernel :(

Hello. I have a problem. my phone will not stop restarting when I try to turn it on, in the recovery works correctly but when I try to enter android just continually restarts and the desktop appears for 5 seconds. I've tried installing other roms, to restore a nandroid backup and always does the same. I had installed the rom Shadow Store [V.2.0] [06.01.2013]. My hboot is 1.20.0000 and Radio 1.09.45.201

Thanks for the help.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sleepwalker.bg:
Hello,

I tried to move from one rom to another, but it seemed that the device got bricked.

Currently, it has Skrilax_CZ's bootloader v8 and TWRP recovery 2.6.3, which is working.

The problem is, that the file system got messed up, i think. When i start the recovery i see the following in the console:

Unable to mount '/data'
Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Unable to find partition size for '/misc'
Unable to find partition size for '/boot'
Unable to find partition size for '/recovery'
Unable to find partition size for '/system'
Unable to find partition size for '/data'
Unable to find partition size for '/cache'
Unable to find partition size for '/flexrom'
Unable to find partition size for internal storage

Unable to set emmc bootloader message.

I see most of the folders in the file explorer in the recovery but they are all empty.

I tried wiping everything but still got errors. When i try to install any ROM, i get the same errors.

EDIT:

I installed older version of TWRP - v.2.4.4. There seems to be less errors with it. When i try to restore from a backup now i get: "Restoring data..." and the message ERROR after that. Interestingly, the CPUID now is all zeroes (000....) instead of the original one, which i have written down.

I think that some system directories are missing, but i may well be mistaken. Is there a way to recreate them?

Any suggestions?

EDIT #2:

I solved it! After a lot wondering i came upon this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1516012

It helped me to get the tablet working with the stock rom, in case anybody else gets stuck like me. That is why it is very important to write down the CPUID!
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Well thats a new one...I'd say yr memory chip is hosed. To have yr cpuid reported like that doesn't sound good. Try runnng babsector.rar to reset partitions...see post 2 in my root guide in my sig

Wow awesome, yep that euu can also reset partitions. As u say, keeping yr cpuid safe is THE most important things you can do...well done!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] clock199:
I have just picked up my XDA exec and am just getting used to it. I have an issue with the green/amber notification light.

When I receive a text message the light changes from green (service indicator) to flashing amber...good so far. I then open the text and the light returns to flashing green (still good so far). I reply to the text message and I receive back the "Text Message Sent" notification. This causes the light to flash amber again, but this time I am unable to return it to green. I dismiss the notification and still it is flashing amber.

I can only clear this by going into "sounds & notifications" and exiting out, this seems to clear the light. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone else have this problem? Many thanks for any help with this.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mynokia7650:
well, you can controll this by going to>>

from Sounds and Notifications menu, click on Notifications below

then from the Event list, select New text message or whatever

and then check or uncheck Flash light or you can even change the period

of time you want the light to flash!

regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] clock199:
Thanks, but I know that bit. I want it to flash when I get a new test message, but not when I get a "Text Message Sent" notification, as this isn't a text message. This worked correctly on my XDA 2s, it seems to behave differently on the exec, or I have set something up incorrectly.

Any ideas?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Hmmmm, I had this problem on my Jam. Can't remember exactly if/how it was resolved, have you tried changing the settings for "MMS Sent" (which seems to be the closest type of notification)?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] clock199:
Hi, yes checked that and it is set to not flash the light....in fact I only have "Incoming text message" set to flash the light....very confused now?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Flubster:
yeah mine does this as well, when the notification arrives telling me the sms is sent. Ironically it clears if your in the messaging app when the notification arrives, but anywhere else (today screen usually) the orange light keeps flashing, i'll do some further tests but that seems to be the case for me anyhow.

Flubster
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] clock199:
Hi, I have just tested this and I still get the amber light even when in text message application......
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Flubster:
Yeah, as you say its not because I was in the messenging tab, its because in the 3ish seconds the notification is on the screen, I hit the left softkey for dismiss rather than waiting for it to time out, either that or it only does it with random txt's :P

Flubster
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] clock199:
I have been playing around with this and if I set the SMS notification to no flashing light then when I get the "Text Message Sent" notification the amber light only flashes for about 1 minute before returning to green. However, if I have the SMS notification set to flash the amber light for any amount of time then the "Text Message Sent" notification causes the amber light to flash for that amount of time also. It seems to mistake the "Text Message Sent" notification for an incoming text message....Very strange.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duke69111:
I noticed that my server kept changing to bay-m.hotmail.com instead of just m.hotmail.com.

After multiple attempts of adding and removing, I somehow managed to get the server to stay m.hotmail.com...I configured it manually and this time it stuck. I was still getting plain text as the only option though under message format and the emails. In the settings I changed Message Size limit to max and then under general settings I changed Load Linked images to Always load. After multiple refreshes it started coming in as html.

I'm still not sure why i plain text is the only option in the Message format box, since under server policy is says Allow HTML email.

Hope this helps.

I'm in mexico for a wedding and I noticed my clock won't change to the correct time. I came from Eastern time and Mexico City is the equivalent to Central time in the US. I have the default settings checked where I get the time zone from the network and automatically adjust time. Using any weather app shows correct location, but the clock won't change. An easy temporary fix would be to manually set the time, but I didn't have this issue 2 years ago when I was rockin' a Thunderbolt.
