[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Wybo:
I had around 4 phones last 3 years. But I think i will keep the Ultra for at least 2 years. It is big enough, fast enough, has storage enough. There is nothing i want more. I use the samsung C pen at the side of the pool. It works perfect for me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
I kept my original HTC Evo 4G for a little over three years, and that was back during the period in which each new round of flagship phones had significantly better specs than the last. Now that hardware differentiation is slowing down, I don't think it will be any problem for me to keep the Z Ultra for a full two years. The only thing that might make it difficult for me would be a significantly improved Z Ultra 2.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
This is the second device for me this year. Which is about average. I do reviews of products and then make a few videos about them, and then usually sell them after 3/4 months.

But as for the Ultra... I think I can see me using it until the next ultra comes out.. (or something equally as beautiful but with a better camera)

This device has been the best all round smartphone I've had, with a better camera it would have been perfect!! so... looking forward to the Ultra 2... :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
In the last three years I have had six devices..I think. I still use my One X as my alarm and toilet mp3 player while taking a dump. My plan for my Z Ultra is two years starting November 7th but I pretty much already know that I will buy a blackberry phone or a smaller device to use along with my ZU but not completely replacing it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I used to buy new phones every 3 to 4 months, but iOS and Android changed that. I had my Note for two years, but that was only because I couldn't find a good replacement (the Note 2 wasn't a big enough upgrade), but the Ultra is, so I'll keep it at least for a year, and we'll see if anything interesting pops up after that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] toadsurfer:
Superuser, you are an artist who paints with words.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] alias3800:
I've generally changed phones about every two to three weeks. Which.. Isn't a good thing I don't think lol I always either trade them or sell them and use that money to buy another. In this case though, I feel like I've finally hit a device that is unique enough that nothing else would be able to replace in quite the same way. The screen real estate on this isn't just like using a Note.. The Note really just feels like a blown-up phone, and I hate that. The UI on tablet/phones usually just stretches everything out instead of properly using the 1080p resolution, which is something that this phone's UI does well, even down to the soft keys. So, I'm hoping that I can keep this phone at least for half a year before moving on to the next phone.. Based on the fact that it is basically an excuse for me to be able to carry a tablet around and call it a "phone."

But yeah, my goal is six months.. lol but that would be nothing short of a miracle. As of now though I do want to sell this C6802 and buy myself a C6833 with some accidental insurance from Sony. Then keep that. But, for the time being, extremely happy with this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] yet_twy88:
For me, I wish I can stay with my Z Ultra for at least 6 months. I changed phone regularly. The last phone that I've used more than 6 months is Note 2. Subsequently I used Nexus 4 for a month and Xperia Z for 2 months plus. I think Z Ultra is an all rounded device, the issue is just the so so camera. Not so interested on other popular flagships like Note 3 and G2 so I think I'll continue using Z Ultra for some while. :o
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Johnmcl7:
The note 1 was only released in 2011 ;)

I had my note since release (around two years) and it lasted well as the note 3 wasn't really much of an upgrade. I can't see the z ultra lasting as long though as it's not as well roinded a device particularly the poor camera, no flash led and the sealed in battery.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jnocomski:
I've had my my Note 2 for just 7 mos, Nexus 4 for 6 mos, Nexus 7 for 4 mos. Sold all of 'em due to uncontrolled circumstances, but I'm planning to keep my XZU for as long as I can. I think I'm very much satisfied with it. But I'm also planning on getting a backup phone, Maybe a Z1 or just an SP. Definitely, not going back to Samsung. :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] liqn7:
Indeed. I've used Samsung for most of my other smartphones, but this region locking and authentication chips for accessories is just a pure cash grab at the cost of convenience for the consumer.

This is something that we should never support and should let samsung know with our wallets.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JunBringer:
I'm hoping to keep this until the next Ultra is about to come out and I'll sell this and get something else, maybe a Note 3 or some oddball "phablet" and then sell that to get the Ultra 2. I haven't kept a phone for longer than a year since I started getting smartphones, and recently it's been less than that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
I love this phone, but have to admit I'm interested by the Lumia 1520 as it's the first high end windows phone and I'd love to see what it's like...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rockky:
I'm interested in what Sony does with this phone. It hasn't sold well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] samsmalls:
Yea I couldn't get into the plastic/plastic design. I really never liked the galaxy design after the SGS2. I like the more squared design of the GS4 & Note 3, but it Sony got this design perfect! They dropped the ball in a few areas, but this screen is so large I think it's the saving grace. I believe this will keep me content as 6.4 will probably be matched by few!

It's Difficult to downgrade on screen size, I'm sure all of us considered Z1 at some point. But after a 5.5" note, I couldn't imagine using a 5.0" Z1 including on-screen buttons.... Noooo Wayyy....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
This sums all my thoughts. Definitely not going to have a smaller screen like... ever.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iron59:
Same here :highfive:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JunBringer:
Same here, though I'd like a smaller device to use as my main phone and carry both. I'm hoping for a Nexus 5 but if we can't afford it I'll get a used Nexus 4 to replace the one my wife is borrowing from me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
That was my initial thought and I almost carried it out when my Ultra was in for repair, but the Ultra came back earlier than expected... :D

Anyway, I'll consider a Nexus 5 just for the pure Google Experience, or a Nexus 4, because unlike the GNex, which you still find at exaggerate prices, the Nexus 4 was selling cheap as new, and used ones are going down under for sure...

But that would (admittedly) be totally unnecessary and an extra expense, just to have both. I'm actually getting used to have a huge thing in my hands all day long (pun intended :D).

When I use my wife's Z it feels fine, but a GS3 or GS4 or a Note2 all feel like toys now...

And I'll tell you what, when I was a Sammy user, I was obsessed by updates, while now I'm really not: Sony view on JB is an all round experience that leaves - almost - no stone unturned.

But hey, I may be just in love with my Ultra... :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JunBringer:
Yeah it's definitely unnecessary and an extra expense for sure lol. It's fun though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] golfinggino:
lol 12 months with the same phone - i usually get a new one every 2 weeks at least i did before getting the ultra - however there is nothing that is available now or in the near future that interests me enough - was briefly considering the note 3 but quickly realized it is much too small - the only device that i sometimes switch to is my galaxy tab 7.7 otherwise no other phones interest me right now
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.coredump:
There is a problem with mantano reader premium after installing CM on my tf101g. It crashes when i try to open any page with annotations, and I really want them back.

There was a lot more problesm after update, but most of them are fixed by me now. Mantano reader stores settings and annotations in sqlite database mreader-premium.db.

First of all it was a problem with a paths of pdf-s (because paths in CM and Asus ROM not equal), but i fixed it by editing 'metadata' table and it found all my books.

After that the reader was crashing every time when i opened a book, so i looked into exception and fixed it by cleaning 'display_options' so now i can open files. Looks like he can't understand old settings there.

Now i have just annotations problem. When i trying to open page with annotations - the reader crashes with

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=1; index=1

Crash in class hw.cookie.ebookreader.model.Highlight line 220

New annotations works ok. I think there is something changed with pdfloc indexes, but I can't figure exactly what.

Pleace, look into my mreader-premium.db for example new annotation in note table with id=821 works ok, and id=818 making the reader crash.

Pleace help me to fix it, it looks really the same, but maybe something changed in indexes intepritation or such. Just tell me what to fix to make reader work again. The PDF file is exactly the same.

Gzipped db attached in the post.

Or, may be, there is any way to take them from table and put into other format? I really can't figure how the used pdflock indexes to understand.

Or how can I see more datailed what's his problem? May be I should look in other table, but I really haven't any candidate more.

I have also send report for mantano software, but didn't get anything from them, and I afraid they

don't want to support something on custom roms (hope i'm wrong).

I'm running Mantano Reader Premium 2.4.0 under android 4.3 cm 10.2

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomosh22:
Hi, I recently under volted my s3 so at 1400mhz the CPU got 1250mv and at 200mhz it got 850mv. My battery died last night so it powered off. When I charged it again and went back into the app (its called voltage control) I changed the values back to 1250 and 850. In the morning I thought my phone was running a bit hot so I went into the app and for some reason at 200mhz it was set to have over 1000mv (I can't remember exactly because I panicked and put it right back down). My question is, has this done any damage to my phone,I know on PC's you can damage parts by overvolting them too much, but my phone wasn't boiling hot, just a bit warm.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolhof:
I don't think it's damaged.

Why do you think that?

If you're phone is getting to hot it reboot it self.

My phone is always running 925mv @ 200mhz.

Put everything back to stock mhz and mv and run it sometime.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
I think, the CPU can handle it more, like 1400MHz @ 1300 mV in my case, so probably set all frequency @ 1300 mV without any damage although it will be kinda of wasting battery. It's simply physics. more voltage, more heat

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomosh22:
ok thanks, like i said on pc's you can kill parts by putting the voltage to high, so i thought it would be the same with phones (or anything with a cpu)

[General Questions and Answers] seong812:
Hi everyone,

I own a optimus g pro (Korean variant)

about 1 month ago, the device just suddenly got so hot, so i took the battery out. placed it back in, no reaction. I brought it back home and tried charging it. it kept on saying "need to charge more in order to boot". So i did, but unfortunately, i wasn't able to make it boot. It just died.

I thought this was a battery problem, so i bought a new battery, which just arrived today. I placed the battery, the phone didnt boot. charged it, it flashed the message again. I waited, and finally got it to boot. but something wasn't right; the phone was too hot. and it charged tooo slowly.

after observing it for a while, i noticed that even if i stop charging the phone (with battery life of about 9% which i waited for so long to reach) and put it in the phone and press the power button, it wont boot. then when i charge it, it tells me again that I need to charge it more in order to make it boot. so the battery is somewhat discharged immediately, and this annoys me very much. I have no warranty, so i cannot change it or ask for a replacement unit.

Could anyone enlighten me with this issue? I'm planning to disassemble it (as it is of no use anymore) but it would be nice if i could stop this immediate discharge and fix it myself. has anyone encountered this issue on any phone? please help. i need every opinions..

Thank you, cheers to everyone!

The new Play Store update introduced a fancy new slide-out navigation drawer similar to other Google apps, and it looks like it’s finally begun rolling out to Android users today.

If you don’t feel like waiting for the update to officially push to your device (no worries, neither could we), the application has been made available for downloading via the attachment below. Simply sideload the Google Play Store the same way as you would any other app.(Just Click on the apk)

For People who are facing difficulty, updating the app. Go to App Manager>Uninstall Updates and then simply try installing it Again.

I recently updated my nexus 7 by mistake. The problem is that it is no longer rooted. The only reason I need it rooted is so that I can use proxydroid but I noticed an attending at my institution managed to have a global proxy without the need for rooting. He said his device wasn't rooted but all apps had access to the internet directly after setting it up ( including facebook which he demonstrated at the time for me). Anyone know how I can accomplish that without rooting the device? If I absolutely need to whats the easiest way to do so?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mariokiller64:
So I have this Galaxy S4 and I just rooted it. Working great, no problems. Although I noticed this when it was booting up, it's showing this text saying "custom" with an unlocked lock but it boots up just fine. Just did a root and froze some samsung, AT&T, and google apps. Anyway to get rid of this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FourPointedFreak:
Did you happen to install any kind of launcher or theme - that can cause this to show. Any kind of phone 'altering' insert by the user such as a launcher, certain xposed framework adjustments, custom APK's installed for performace.

I'd just overlook what you have put on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xerythul:
It should not affect the way the phone worka or loads in any way. I had this happen to me a few days ago and posted in one of the help threads my process to remove it. As the above post states though it has something to do with one or more specific things that are part of the rom you are flashing. There is actually a post in here called "can someone try this" or something to that effect detailing a soft fix that seems pretty easy. Do a little searching in the at&t sgs4 forums and you should come up with a few things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FourPointedFreak:
This is correct - I saw that post after this one and gave it and a shot and it removed the Custom Logo on hard reboots for me. Soft boots it still shows but as stated, it doesn't affect anything.

I tend to have my phone on vibrate for most of the day (in and out of meetings and it's easier to leave it on vibrate all day than to try and remember) however I would really, really like to stop it vibrating when I send a text - the text goes, the little window pops up saying message sent and the phone vibrates for what appears to be longer than if I had just received a text!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unSKILLEDgl:
Hi guys,

just got my new phone and unfortunately i had to realize, that there are some apps i cant install.

I know that this issue depends on my Playstore, so i want to install a custom playstore with no restrictions.

Did this many times on other phones and never got problems.

But this time there is a problem:

I can install the modded version of the playstore without any problems. But it self-updates every time and i cant do anything against.

In the Last android versions there was a "Market Updater" App, which you could just freeze to avoid this.

But in my Android 4.2.2 theres no such app.

Any Ideas how i can prevent the Playstore from updating?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohit02:
Dude you sure about that, I mean if you have knowledge how to install custom play store than you must have the basic knowledge from where to disable the auto update feature.

goto play store>settings>Auto update apps select here none.

After this you will have to manually update all your apps that you want.

Sorry if I misinterpreted your query..

Press thanks button on the left side of my post. ;)

which phone do you use by the way? cause it could also be that the apps you miss are incompatible with the phone.

there is however, an app that also appears to be able to remove the restrictions (i think with a proxy of some kind), this app is mostly used for apps unavailable in certain countries.
