[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itchiee:
Almost, the top and bottom are a slight stretch but my thumb can reach the other side again. So i can use swype one handed which was an issue with my note 2.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allyrocky:
I jumped directly from S2 two nexus 5..most of the time I can reach all parts of the screen with one hand(thumb).. perfect size, not too big like note 3 or too small like iPhone 5s..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkgoon3r96:
At what times are you not able to reach all parts of the screen?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allyrocky:
Say I'm using left hand and trying to reach setting in notification bar.. I won't be able to do that.. But don't find it an issue since I'm right handed
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkgoon3r96:
Setting is actually a big button on stock android.. When using right handed, can you reach the new tab button on chrome at the top left? Can you also reach the profile picture in the notification tray (the button next to brightness)?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allyrocky:
I can reach the profile pic,notification tray using right hand..

New tab button is bit difficult to reach, however I can reach it using right thumb bu tilting the phone slightly towards me..

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harry GT-S5830:
I can't compare to the S4 but I can to the similarly shaped and sized S3. I'm 16 so my hands aren't massive and I find it easier to use the nexus 5 than the S3, I kind of just shuffle the phone around in my right hand when I want to press something out of reach but I don't notice myself doing it. Sometimes I prefer to type with two hands as the extra width from my spigen case can add a bit of strain to my hands when I reach for far side letters like w and a.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mufrad:
Just use any of the roms you like in the development forum. Make a backup of els file before flashing new ROM. And downgrading is a bit tricky so reap op carefully before doing anything.

Recently rooted i747 with CWM and flashed Android 4.3 with no issues (shoulda just stopped there). I wanted to flash CM 10.2... data/factory reset, cache wipe, Davlik wipe... but flash failed. Rebooted into recovery to reflash 4.3, but nothing is found under sdcard/0. What am I missing? Thanks for any help!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Use the file explorer in recovery and navigate to /data/media/0. Your stuff should be there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JesBoodro:
CWM v6.0.3.1

- reboot system now

- install zip from sdcard

- install zip from sideload

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- backup and restore

- mounts and storage

- advanced

I apologize for the ignorance, but I cannot for the life of me find any file explorer. When I try to install zip from sdcard, my only options are: 0/, clockworkmod/, and obb/. All of which state that no files are found.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Dl Rom onto sdcard with a computer. Maybe a factory reset will help first. I'm used to using twrp, which has a file explorer in it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JesBoodro:
I'll definately try that. Will my internal storage still be there? Thanks again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
Yes, your internal storage will still be there, unless u specifically wipe it. The file stucture is just a little different on these roms...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Using custom recoveries will not wipe your internal sd unless you specifically do so. Stock recovery (3e) however WILL wipe your internal on the latter releases.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWOKSFUNG:
The Japanese version is even more awesome in terms of spec!!

32Gb memory, IR blaster and IPS screen!!

but... I'm those guys who loves to flash mods/roms and different stuff from this website

will the difference in spec give compatability problem beocz mods in this forum are made for international version Z1??

Could some1 who used to use Japanese version sony phones give me an idea??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asadroid:
No.

the phone is blocked to NTTdocomo bands so its pretty much near useles to use in another carrier (other japanesse carriers are more or less the same)

the only big difference is the IR blaster, and the TV reciever.

the 32gb can be covered by a 64gb sdcard, and all the screens are the same. (LCD with leds)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maomao891007:
First Docomo always lockdown the boot loader and will never let you to unlock it, so if you like AOSP, it's better to keep away from it. And also if use other firmware the IR won't work.

BTW, if I remember correctly, when Z begin sell in Japan, somebody says it has better screen than the one use in the international, but later other says that just the different tuning. And this time again to say that different panel use in different region?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWOKSFUNG:
Already tested usable in Hong Kong even on LTE

This is not the first docomo phone being used in other country, some people have docomo version sony phones being used out of japan

(maybe unlocking is required??They didnt mention it anyway)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maomao891007:
Carrier lock can easily unlock with docomo, just need to pay for it. TV receiver won't be useful outside Japan I think.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWOKSFUNG:
Oh... 5h1t i'm an overclocking guy which always need custom kernel

scared here :crying:

the screen thing... somesays japanese version use another verion

while i heard the international version has screen from different brands, while some of them are usually faulty which gives yellow patch :crying:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWOKSFUNG:
yeah i think i wont actually use the tv receiver so the IR blaster maybe actually useless for me

but i still got 16Gb more memory, and japanese version is cheaper

carrier lock need payment to unlock... hope wont be expensive

and i hope i can request for unlock bootloader too
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maomao891007:
Z have two different panel provider for international, same as Japan. That screen problem just Sony's tuning I think, same as Google's nexus.

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

If you dig a little for the docomo's android history you will find it's just like the Verizon.

The memory's problem is just in you own.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWOKSFUNG:
thx for the information man

now the thing i worry most is the bootloader...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firnasz:
Today I have installed v8.0 and I found that it's slower than previous version 7.0

Following is the benchmark

s4 revolution v7 vs v8

===============

Antutu	18613	15095

Quadrant	5916	4338

I have upgraded from v7 to v8. I didn't do full wipe and install. Can it be a reason?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You will need to read the roms thread .

No wipe may be your problem or not .

But anyone relying on benchmarks is wasting their time .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firnasz:
Thanks for reply.

I'm not just rely on the benchmark. But I can easily feel the difference.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firnasz:
Anyhow v9.1 and obvously in v10 it is far better now. So I dont need to worry about v8 now.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robson:
not sure if you guys saw this. was browsing through the net and found this site

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/unithemes/?en

rather nice as it has free themes and skins for wmp9, wmp10, spb weather, calculator, etc. here's a screen shot of one of the skin packs called artic blue. just download the pack, unzip to a folder and install the skin you want. meaning, you don't have to install all the skins. for me what i only wanted was the wmp10 skin, didn't have to install the others like the one for calculator. i'm using wm2005 and it has no problems with the skins i installed.

cheers
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] deepak:
most important is the dialer skin which i am desperately looking out for and spb doesnt change that...so sad..

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Nadavi:
Does not work on WM05 Dialer.

the SPB UNITHEMES doesnt work with the keypad in the dialer software.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robson:
nope, dialer doesn't work as i think the one for wm2005 is quite different. i tried it as well and it doesn't install. the skins for wmp10 does though. for the dialer i guess this is more for wm2003/se

:confused::confused: My Hcl tablet does not seem to get into fastboot mode.whenever i try restarting into fastboot(bootloader) mode ,a blank screen is displayed.Also "fastboot devices" commmand does not display the device.But adb shows the device .what might be the problem??
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thundercraker:
The title says it all.

I went ahead and tried to install Paranoid android RC2, I flash it then subsequently the GApps using TWRP. Now, the device is stuck forever in the boot animation and neither TWRP or CWM (installed with DualZRecovery) will work.

Is there any way by which I can somehow revert what has happened here? This has never happened to me before.

Needless to say if I can avoid having a $400 paperweight, I have sworn to never risk custom roms on my main phone again.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraseto:
Just flash some kernel with recovery and restore your backup. If you don't have backup, download some of stock or custom roms and flash via Flashtool or recovery......or just use search function ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thundercraker:
As I said, the main problem is that for some ungodly reason CWM is not working despite the fact that it is what i used to flash PA into the phone in the first place. I have never had a case where CWM itself failed. I need to be in Fastboot mode for flashtool right?

Well the phone wont even go into recovery so im not sure how to get it into fastboot.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraseto:
1. Download some of newest stock ftf and put it to firmware folder in Flashtool

2. Start Flashtool, press flash btn and pick stock rom

3. Press vol- and connect usb simultaneously and wait about 3 min.

That's it.

Your phone is brand new stock :good:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] secondkai:
Did u unlock your bootloader when u flashing pa?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thundercraker:
I think it was because I forgot to wipe the dalvik cache after installation of the ROM - although why CWM itself stopped working I have no clue.

How did u unlock your bootloader? Flashing aosp base rom require u to unlocked your bootloader first bcos of the custom kernel..if u unlocked your bootloader, did u fastboot flash boot.img?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juiceboxxhero:
Hi all,

Everything with the Nexus (16gb Black) is working great aside from my pandora. When streaming through 3G/LTE, songs cut in/out. It's not regular lag though - it'll play a random bit from the song out of order and then basically mute itself. From there, the song is still progressing but not producing any sound. If i pause/play it, it'll play a random bit from the song again and mute itself. I do want to note that it feels related to the lock screen- it generally happens when i'm locking it and such.

I've looked everywhere and the only mention i've seen of this was in the google play reviews, but even those weren't specific.

Also want to note that the SIM card the rep at my sprint store gave me is supposedly used for air devices be cause he didn't have any other ones available. Will this impair any use of my phone? Everything else seems to be working just fine
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zandeer:
Is is when playing through your phone speakers? I very rarely listen to pandora on my phone, not connected to a bluetooth device. So I am curious if it is pandora, or possibly a fault in the Nexus' speakers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juiceboxxhero:
It plays music that's on the phone as well as from other apps so it shouldn't be related to the speaker/audio jack. Unfortunately my car's radio doesn't have bluetooth so it's generally through the audio jack. I'm leaning towards pandora on this one, but even an old .apk from my GS3 was having the issues.

Could the SIM card that the sprint rep gave me cause issues like that? he said the card he gave me is made specifically for their LTE air devices but that it shouldn't have any issues. I've seen my data drop out a few times, could this be the culprit?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zandeer:
Can't say 100% yes or no, but that would be the first thing I tried outside of reinstalling the app, and a factory reset.

I know when I went to the G1, I had a SIM card issue that caused data loss, solved by a new SIM. Which is why I didn't take a chance with the Nexus 5, and just got a new SIM from T-Mobile vs cutting down my exisitng SIM.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turdbogls:
probably. I haven't had a single issue with the N5 and pandora/g-music/songza. do you usually have spotty coverage with sprint? my guess is a bad SIM though if you can see the data cutting in/out and you dont have these problems on other phones.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juiceboxxhero:
I haven't had a SIM before on any phone with sprint, not even the GS3 - The coverage isn't the best but i've never had the in/out like i am with the nexus. The main complaint with sprint is that i'd get the icons for 4g available with the GS3, but whenever i was connected to the 4g i couldn't access anything. Sprint rep told me it was because the towers are active but have no bandwith at the moment as they're not 100% up and running(??). I think I'll go and get a new SIM tonight and see if i still have issues after that.

I did root it but didn't install anything past that. From my understanding that shouldn't affect anything, but i figured it may be worth mentioning.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatagonad:
I've got strange flickering issue with my phone which has only just started recently. I've had a search around and the videos I have seen on youtube aren't the same as the issue I am having. I have tried the disable hardware overlays option but this hasn't solved it. I have uploading a video on youtube which shows 2 recordings of the issue, one after the other, each slightly different.

Hi to all fellow members of this device, especially to those I know and appreciate more :)

I just want to tell you that I'm going to make use of my corporate email to reach Broadcom and start a formal request for them to give us the drivers for the Galaxy Ace-i, also known as Cooperve. Even though many members have most probably changed their device for a better one, I still see a lot of people buying this device, especially in my country.

Through the use of many scripts created by fellow users we have been able to improve performance of this phone but not to it's full potential, this is especially due to the fact that we don't have the GPU drivers source to have a ROM properly built from scratch, just to mention one of the obstacles our devs have encountered.

This, and the fact that I have seen this device increase its sales in Chile a lot are just some of the reasons why I'm reaching directly to Broadcom to kindly request the drivers source for our device.

I hope we have a good reception on this matter and that we can get a positive response by Broadcom, that has always been by the side of the open-source, as they state.

[MENTION=4686683]bieltv.3[/MENTION] [MENTION=3862405]SpaceCaker[/MENTION] [MENTION=4864953]Lopicl.00[/MENTION] you guys and the BroadcomCM team have made possible a CyanogenMod for our device, I really hope we can keep counting on your awesome and willing support
