[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
The phone SHOULD only take the charge it needs, it has an auto cut out when the battery is full so it won't overload and damage the battery.

Charging amps is a funny business. A 1.5 amp charger on a ten metre cable will be practically the same as a 10 amp charger straight into the phone. You lose energy through the cable. The cable my dock came with is rated 2.1 amp but the charger itself is only rated for 0.5 amp. So it takes forever to charge, till I plugged a 3amp charger in, it charges at the same rate but the phone gets much hotter.

I dunno, I just stick to keeping the amps and cable ratings the same as the one that came with the phone in the box. That way we know we can break anything:good:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalda01:
I noticed in recent days that the phone is heating up when not charging. I read it is a known issue with this model.

Is there something that can be done to fix this ? has anyone found a cure yet ? (other than dipping the phone in water to cool it down)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
Ignore it, the phone will automatically shut itself down to protect itself long before the temperature is high enough to actually cause it any permanent damage. It's actually nice in my profession, warms the hands on freezing cold days.

Tips for a pleasant XDA:

Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.

Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".

Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.

And PLEASE, do not ask for the "best" anything. We all have our preferences.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] djd1520:
Hello All. I am a noob here but I have been referred to this site from members of the Android Central forum when I've had certain questions. I've also been a lurker for some time and have been directed to various threads on this forum when doing Google searches.

Anyway I've posted this question on AC as well as done my own testing with friends and family who have various phones on different networks and I still don't have a definitive answer so I thought this would be the place to get the correct answer. My question is:

Note - I have an HTC One w/ Sprint.

When sending someone a SMS text that exceeds 160 characters why is it that some people on the receiving end get it as one long single message and others receive it in broken-up blocks of 160 characters each? I have read this has to do with whether the network is CDMA or GSM but is that referring to the network the sender or receiver is on? If I send someone a text > 160 characters they receive it in split-up blocks of 160 characters each. This isn't a problem per se, however many times the messages get delivered untimely and out-of-sequence. I would prefer if the recipients of my text messages received them as one long single message. I can accomplish that by sending an MMS message but then I have to attach a pic and depending what phone and network the person on the receiving end has the pic either gets delivered first and separate from the text part or it gets delivered all in one single message with the pic at the end.

So what causes the split-up messages vs. the long single message and is there anything I can do so that if a text I am sending happens to exceed 160 characters the recipient receives it as one single (not split-up) message? Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] AaronM7:
I have found that this can be caused by a couple things- whether or not your sms app will convert to mms when exceeding 160 characters (sms stands for short message service,) and whether or not the recipient's phone is set up to convert multi-sms into one message or not. Again, this is what I have found through experiential knowledge, not through academic knowledge.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] djd1520:
Thanks...I think you're experimental knowledge is spot on.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im0rtalz:
You can always use a third party sms app such as handcent. It should auto convert sms 160 chars to mms for you so no need to send a picture.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] djd1520:
Yes. I have tried Handcent and it will automatically convert SMS texts to MMS messages w/o having to attach a picture after the SMS reaches 480 characters. I have also tested this with friends and family who have different phones on various networks and once the message is converted to a MMS message they all report receiving it as one single message.

So Handcent is an option and I know I may sound picky here but I just don't like the UI of the app. I suppose I could use the stock messaging app as my default for SMS texts that I know will be 160 characters or less and use Handcent only when I know the message is going to exceed 160 characters. I don't know if it's just me but Handcent seems very amateurish. I much prefer the minimalist look of the Sense 5 messaging app and the only 3rd party app that seems to have a nice, clean simple UI is Textra but it doesn't have the functionality I am looking for.

Any other ideas?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Original T:
i berlieve it depends on what carrier and phone that is used but not positive on that.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] weidnerj:
160 characters was a standard at one time. SMS uses the carrier channel (not data or voice), that is why you usually can send or receive a text during an emergency or in an area that has more people than tower capability.

Since it was a standard, anything greater than 160 characters had to be broke down to more than one text usually done by the SMS application. MMS is for multimedia, and when text is sent as MMS it uses "data" and not the carrier channel. That is how MMS is able to overcome 160 character limit of SMS...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] luigi311:
There's always recompiling the mms.apk and see if you can find the part where it converts the sms to mms after a certain amount of characters and drop it down to say 160 or 161. Though that's just my thoughts I'm not sure if that can be accomplished since I've never decompiled the apk
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rydah:
There is a TON of references to "160." LOL

Although, there is this: Message_K44\smali\com\android\mms\MmsConfig.smali

.method public static isSupportConvertLongSmsToMms()Z
.locals 1

.prologue
.line 4107
invoke-static {}, Lcom/htc/messaging/util/AccFlagUtils;->isCT()Z

move-result v0

if-nez v0, :cond_0

const/4 v0, 0x1

:goto_0
return v0

:cond_0
const/4 v0, 0x[COLOR="Red"]0[/COLOR]

goto :goto_0
.end method

I've never looked into this, but it bothers me too. I remember on an old HTC build on an old device I had, I had the option to make a SMS an MMS, which I would do for the same reason. I'm going to attempt to change the code to:

.method public static isSupportConvertLongSmsToMms()Z
.locals 1

.prologue
.line 4107
invoke-static {}, Lcom/htc/messaging/util/AccFlagUtils;->isCT()Z

move-result v0

if-nez v0, :cond_0

const/4 v0, 0x1

:goto_0
return v0

:cond_0
const/4 v0, 0x[COLOR="red"]1[/COLOR]

goto :goto_0
.end method

Maybe this will work...? I've gotten rusty on my smali editing, as life as a young adult got real. LOL. I'll update this post after the break...

EDIT:

NOPE... Now I'm curious...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] predator1584:
I remember using a blacked out version of Hangouts at some point that made texting with more than 160 characters. I have changed from the default messaging app to Hangouts entirely. But I'll see if I can find the link somewhere...

[Android Stick & Console Computers General] lewy20041:
This firmware is all about XBMC, all aditions to the firmware have lower prioryty

If someone want to help please test how the firmware is working for you,

share your findings and ideas, it dousnt metter its good or bad,

as its still help

So... let the fun begin

My website:

http://apkfreak.com​

v1.1.1

xbmc internall player with dts/dolby/analog sound support

new folder on root of sdcard:

-justXBMC

*plugin

*update (update folder will be used for some minor updates to the firmware)

-ouya mode will be now a plugin and will be not provided with the firmware

-updated play store

-gemail app

-resolution swich in settings>advanced

-pached libmedia.so for DTS

-new graphics

-system bar hiden

-rooted,boot stright to xbmc

-better mappings for xbox wirless gamepad (supports more games)

-init.d support

-gameloft fix

-new power off buackground and icons

-nfs support with automount on startap scripts (check /system/etc/init.d folder)

-build.prop tweaks

-cwm recovery

-real 1080p kernel (for compatybility with some tv res is downscaled to 720, can be changed in settings)

-all apps deleted (only settings, es explorer, browser, download provider andcontacts are left)

-android settings and apps can be accesed by going to programs>android apps from within xbmc

-changed bootanimation to justXBMC

-latest ouya xbmc with HW moded by lewy20041:

advancedsettings.xml build into apk

playercorefactory.xml build into apk

changed icons and splash screen to stock xbmc insted xbmc on ouya

superrepo repository

test skins repository

deleted touched skin

OUYA mode:

-OUYA Bootanimation

-OUYA Keyboard

-OUYA Launcher with working OUYA Market (OUYA Custom Launcher is made by InvaderGames from OUYA forums so all credits go to him for this )

many ouya games are working nice with xbox360 controler.

you will be abble to switch betwen OUYA mode and justXBMC by going to settings>advanced>swich mode

(This mode is only for people with xbox controler, to provide plug&play gameing experience, if you dont have it do not swich modes)

ouya mode dont harm justXBMC its just something like plugin:"

i will provide you with stock app folder so anyone will be able to add any funcionality he/she wants by placing needed app into /system/app folder and changing permisions to

"644" "rw- r-- r--"

more changes will folow.

First boot will be longer than usual as many files must be seted up

so just go get some cofe and wait untill xbmc will start

all boot ups after that will take much lower time but its still wont be

super fast, its like this on purpose to make sure that sdcard

is mounted and system is fully functional.

Download:

Whole firmware:

K-R42

Minix x7

justXBMC apk for people who wont to try just the app:

Mediafire

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
How to make a custom themed version of Project X to post in ten easy steps-

Do yourself a favor and read the whole thing before starting, it will save you some time.

1) You can use flashable mods to theme your ROM (Missing Link, etc) as you all probably know, the key is to know what files are modified. So flash all your mods and get it themed the way you want first. Unzip the ROM on your computer using 7zip or any similar program. (You can technically do it on your phone but it's not recommended)

2) SystemUI.apk in system/app is what controls the status bar and pulldown menu and the "stock toggles" if you have themed any of these, go into system/app with a root browser and copy the SystemUI.apk to your SD. Replace the SystemUI.apk in the unzipped ROM with your new one. (By replace or copy I mean delete the one in the ROM and move your modified one in)

3) Next up is framework-res.apk in system/framework. Repeat the same process as above. Believe me, you modified this file in some way. It controls lock screen, transition animations and a host of other framework stuff.

4) You probably modified SecSettings.apk as well, it's in system/app, copy it over.

5) If you modified the contacts or the dialer, copy over SecContacts.apk and SecPhone.apk. They are in preload/symlink/system/app. Note: check system/app for your modified file, as Missing Link moves these to system/app.

6)Non"Stock" toggles are in lidroid-res.apk in system/framework, copy that over if you changed them.

7) It would probably be a good idea to copy over your services.jar and android.policy.jar in system/framework as well.

8) If you want to change the build name get Notepad++ on Windows or gedit on Linux, open up build.prop and change "ro.build.display.id=" to whatever you want your build to be called. If you want to add apps simply put them in the respective data/app, preload/symlink/system/app, or system/app folder where they are found on your current ROM.

9) If you want to change the boot animation (bootanimation.zip) it is located in system/media. Ringtones, notifications, and alarms are in system/media/sounds. Also if you want to change any GApps (inverted, transparent, etc) or even add them they are located in preload/symlink/system/app. Make sure you test them, they don't always flash right in the ROM. If they have any libs in the zip package make sure to move them to system/lib.

10) Now we have everything done, now go back to the folder with your unzipped ROM (you should see system, preload, Meta-INF, etc) highlight everything here, right click and hit Compress (compression is normal if it asks). Now you have a ROM zip. Flash it to make sure it boots and test it out for at least an hour to make sure everything works. Then upload it to a file hosting site (like DevHost) and post the link, screenshots, and features in this thread.

If this is above your head, don't worry, keep reading and learning. You'll get there, no need to rush into things. If you do understand all of this, this is your chance for your 15 minutes of XDA fame in the easiest way possible, you can do it! Don't be afraid to ask if you have a question.
