Haha lol, no :D

Don't unlock your bootloader if you have no idea how to do it.

You will find steps 5-7 in cwm recovery. Please inform yourself about how to flash a rom (root, boot to cwm etc.), otherwise you will screw things up eventually. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Peterrrrr:
Are there any good and "very easy" guide out there?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Peterrrrr:
So, maybe I should try another rom.

Which rom with locked bootloader based on Gingerbread is the most stablized?

The things I do with my phone is web-browsning, talk and taking pictures.No gaming...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Don't ask. Comparing ROM is forbidden on XDA. Try the ROM out yourself and see which one suits you best. If you continue to ask for "the most stabilized ROM", I will call for a mod to close this thread.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] martin kopplow:
Huh, should I really?

It's tough but it has to be done: As I work in a sensible environment where cameras are not allowed, I have to remove the camera from my brandnew MDA compact. It has to be removed in a way that makes it obvious there is no camera inside, and it has to be made certain the camera can not be refitted easyly.

Has anybody done this before? I did a site search, but found no postings on this issue.

Any help appreciated,

Somebody in the Magician Accessories section asked about a cover or something for the same reason. Not sure what the outcome was as I haven't checked it in a while.

Honestly it would be easier to get a low-end Ipaq and a cheapo Nokia to use for work, and the magician for play!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] martin kopplow:
Yepp, easier, probably, but not half as cool, though. :-)

I do not like low end Ipaqs that much, and I also do not like fiddling around with three devices and keeping them all syncronized at all times. "Oh, really? I think I have his phone number on the other phone or maybe on the Ipaq!" is not what I would like to answer. People would call me on the cellphone even if I'm not at work, and I need the contact info. I think that's what all the MDA thing is about, I do not see it as a toy in the first place. Though it makes a nice one! :-)

Thanks for the hint on the magician back cover thread, I found it. My first search query had the wrong key words, I 'm afraid.

i am facing a strange touchscreen issue for over 2 months, my screen keeps on auto touching itself, & the strange thing about it is that it only happens whenever mobile packet data connection is on, if it is off, every thing works fine,& one more thing which is more strange is that there is one sim card with which everything works fine, no problem at all, if i put any other sim besides that sim card, it comes back again,,,,,any ideas about it,,& what i am really confused about is that is it hardware or software issue, because if it was hardware issue, it was supposed to do the same thing all the time, why is that one SIM working fine while others are not????

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nolan22:
I followed the tutorial provided by zedomax, but I am unable to reboot into CWM recovery. I downloaded the heimdall zip package for my mac, opened terminal, entered download mode, and everything went smoothly until rebooting into recovery mode. At this point it takes me to the stock recovery, instead of CWM Recovery. This process has also increased my binary count to 3 (because I attempted this process 3 times). I have the T-Mobile Galaxy Note II running Android 4.1.2. This is the first device I have attempted to root. Please help...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nolan22:
Follow Up

After reaching out to Zedomax on twitter, I was able to find a solution. He suggested I download cwm recovery through my mac's terminal (following the steps I had previously followed), and before the phone reboots, remove the battery, THEN reboot device. Somehow this worked, and I now have a fully rooted SGH-T889 with the latest version of CWM Recovery. Now the question is, what do I need to backup before flashing a new rom (i.e. modem, efs, etc.), and how do I know if everything is backed up properly so I don't lose my mobile data/IMEI/other important stuff I don't know about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
Use andromizer to back up efs (should be about 20mb and save that to your Computer.. TWRP also can back the EFS up as well, not sure about that or CWM when it comes to the EFS files but as far as the full BACKUP goes, you can do that in CWM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nolan22:
Thanks for the andromizer recommendation. I have everything backed up to my external SD, computer, and backup SD. Probably more backups than I need, but whatever. Better safe than sorry, I suppose.

So I have been wondering about free WiFi tethering...Since my device is now rooted, can I use my phone as a WiFi hotspot for free, regardless of the amount of "tether data" that I have with T-Mobile? I have heard conflicting reports. I have unlimited data for my Note 2, but the tethering data (200MB/month) is separate. I don't want to increase my bill by $20/month for unlimited tethering. Is it possible for me to use my phone as a WiFi hotspot, and not have my carrier know? I apologize if this has already been answered in a different thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
As far as I know the answer to WiFi tethering is yes and no... Simply put... You can for free, however TMO or whoever your carrier is has access to monitor any tethering usage and therefore can still hit the "end game" button if you get out of hand... As far as others have reported its a matter of keeping that usage within moderation
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rreed2000:
Note 2 Rooted

Now that you've fully rooted your device and backed up your data, is it possible to go to a standard Android interface without all of the Samsung TouchWiz stuff. Could you install Lollipop? I am asking because I am thinking about rooting my T-Mobile Note 2. I am getting these incessant security warnings from Android SE and they are driving me crazy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nolan22:
You are able to flash a stock android rom onto your TMo Note 2. This will remove the TW skin, but will also remove the S-Pen functionality (which was a deal breaker for me). before flashing any new rom, you need to make sure the rom is specific to the TMo Note 2. With that being said, there are still some great roms for the Note 2 that have S-pen functionality without the TW look.

I'm trying to buy a cheap smartphone for my girlfriend. Just bought a used Vibrant from eBay only to find it had an IMEI blacklisted by T-Mobile. :( Already had put CM 10.1 on it and she loved it so I'm pissed.

Any tips for buying a decent used smartphone for under $100? Vibrant seems like one of the best and I'm partial to Samsung. Any recommendations for the fastest Android 4.x ROM with the best battery life for the Vibrant?

What's the best version of Odin to use currently? Is there a simpler, reliable way to flash back to stock from CM?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
Are you putting the phone into download mode before connecting to Odin? You must be in download mode, I prefer Odin 1.7, every other version hangs on me for some reason.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VQ30DE:
Yeah, had the phone in download mode and was using Odin 1.7. I have the latest Samsung drivers for WIndows installed, and when I mount the SD card the phone shows up properly. That guide you linked to was one I tried. I couldn't get the phone to show up with "adb devices" either, but that was working before I installed CM 10.1. This stuff is so finicky it's frustrating. I've wasted countless hours on three different phones over the past few years, but overall it's worth it to get a better OS.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
I assume your running Odin with administrator privileges, if not try that. Maybe try flashing a different rom, a stable rom could fix the issue. Make sure USB debugging is checked, shouldn't affect Odin but worth a try.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VQ30DE:
Yeah, tried running as admin.

I just tried Heimdall One-Click, and got the error they mentioned:

Seriously? I don't want to install Linux to flash this phone back to stock! No way to do this from adb in Windows or from within a rooted phone? Maybe I'll just return with with CM installed; the phone is basically a wifi device only unless the seller decides to change the IMEI and resell.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
Try re-installing the driver for the phone.

I'm not sure if they changed it in the newer versions of CM but after a certain version you actually need the drivers for the Nexus S rather than the Vibrant for ADB to work properly.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nOrbX187:
Hey everyone. I've had my Z Ultra for almost a week and am loving the size. The Note 2 feels super small in my hands now. However, I've been encountering some issues with mine which is the C6806 version and wanted to see if there were anybody else experiencing these issues:

1. "Smudges" on the screen which do not seem to go away - I've noticed there is a patch of "smudge" which stays there regardless of how much I attempt to rub it off with my shirt or fingers. From another post I read, it looks like it could be the anti-fingerprint coating coming off.

2. Running hot even with screen off - I've noticed that the phone will sometimes become very warm during use and even with the screen off. Granted this may be some apps I'm running but I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary compared to what I did on my Note 2. I do have Skype running, Lookout, and Microsoft Lync along with emails facebook and such. I'm not running anything intensive.

3. "Silver flake" in the screen - it almost looks like a reverse dead pixel. When I have my screen off, the spot looks silver when seen in the light.

4. Battery life is short - I know the phone is massive and it has a big screen so I wasn't expecting anything better than my Note 2. However, it has been only 6-7 hours and my battery has drained to 20% with somewhat light usage. I'm not checking my phone constantly or anything and had made a phone call which lasted about 10 minutes. I do have Stamina mode with 5 apps added to the list of not to disable (Skype, Lync, AT&T messages, and two others). I also have the SmartWatch 2 connected so not sure if this is contributing to the poor battery life.

Just wanted to see if anybody has experienced any of these issues. I will probably exchange it for another one once I get back from travels. Based on some quick searching of the forums, it doesn't seem like there are many issues but it seems majority of users have the C6802 or C6833 as the C6806 just came out on Oct. 15th (I believe) so hopefully it is this particular model.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pedal2themedal:
Only one I have experienced is battery life and it will improve on its own. Batteries have to be charged and discharged a few times before you can accurately gage the battery life. I did notice one weird pixel but I can only see it when phone is booting. During normal use its gone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
- smudges on the screen are because of the coating on the sony screen protector. The coating is wearing off.

# Options: Take it back and sony will replace it. Then the next time they wont! You will need to apply a screen protector.

- Temperature. Its aluminium and glass. Heat dispersion will be good, but it will also feel hotter than other plastic devices due to convection of these materials.

# Options: Don't have it in your pocket as that will keep the device warm. 2: Don't worry about it. Unless its over 60 degrees its fine. And if it was over 60 degrees you wouldn't be able to touch it.

- Dead pixel. - Probably is a dead pixel. Replacement

- Battery - allowing wifi and other modems to remain on during stamina mode kinda defeats the purpose. With skype on, all hardware associated with this will remain on.

7 hours is about average with heavy/moderate use. I get between 7-10 hours per day depending on use.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] john.2011:
100% return it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
IMHO I agree with above poster, get it returned. Mine doesn't run hot at all unless I'm running a big game or something, certainly not when it's off.

It sounds like there's a wake lock or something if it's hot even when it's off and this would point to the bad battery life. If you want to confirm this install betterbatterystats from the playstore and keep it logging for a 24 hour period including a couple of charge cycles.

I would suggest there's something amiss though definitely, whether it's hardware or software remains to be seen.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nOrbX187:
Thanks everyone for the input. I purchased mine from a Sony Store and it hasn't been 30 days yet (only less than a week as mentioned) so will go attempt to exchange. Hopefully they don't accuse me of causing this damage. I did the software upgrade yesterday evening to 2.257 and it seems like the phone does not get warm as often.

I hope it is just hardware issues. I really like this phone as I've been looking to combine my tablet and phone. I had a Note 2 / Note 10.1 combination but found that I very rarely used my tablet as it is something extra to lug around. The Z Ultra is a perfect (almost) combination as it provides me the portability of a phone but with the screen real estate of a tablet. It's nice to game on as well, downloaded a few games on the PlayStation Mobile app.

If this doesn't workout, I'll probably go to a Z/Z1 and Z Tablet combination.
