[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
Hi there

I have seen many posts where people are having trouble installing games from Google play. Xperia is a beast in terms of performance and it can run any game smoothly, thanks to its Adreno 305.

Here is the solution for those who are ready to make all applications COMPATIBLE with your device.

You will need :

ROOT

ES FILE EXPLORER

COMMON SENSE

You may use build.prop Editor from Google play but it didnot help me much so I changed it manually using File Explorer.

Instructions:

After giving root rights to your Explorer, go to device/system/build.prop

Open it using ES Note Editor (Comes with ES file Explorer).

Find ro.product.device

Change ro.product.device from C2105/4 to C6603. Save your file

Go to settings\all and open Google Play.

Clear google play cache .

Restart your phone!

You may change your ro.device.product by build.prop editor but it didnot help much in my case!

DO NOT CHANGE OR ADD EVEN A COMMA IN YOUR BUILD.PROP except as mentioned or you will be bootlooped

Good Luck! Just backup your data to be safe!

You may simply replace your build.prop with the one I have attached. I have c2105 with 4.2.2.

Attached file is in zip so please extract it first and then replace it !

Do everything on your own risk!

I can now install all Gameloft games :)
[Sony Xperia L] siankatabg:
"Xperia L" works too.
[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
Cheers for your contribution mate. May I add that, your device name isnot changed in settings at all even when you change it to C6603.

I did the usual process that is done when your phone isnot compatible with certain applications. Change your device name to the latest device in range.

However, after your post, I am to believe that Xperia L is supported by developers as 'Xperia L' , 'C2104' but not C2105. There are also differences due to regional firmware as Indian firmware users have reported apps to be incompatible while many blokes from America have quoted that all applications are COMPATIBLE without any changes to their build.prop which other users had problems with. What strange is both have same model name 'c2104'. Till now it is still not certain what is causing incompatibly issues.

I guess there is some diversion and I am sure there are always many ways to do a certain job!
[Sony Xperia L] Rohit@91:
Working. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia L] siankatabg:
Maybe it's come from ro.product.device=

How you see I change it to taoshan. Will revert the ro.product.name to stock and report back.

Edit1- Revert to ro.product.name= C2105_1272-2770 and still work.

So its work with only changing the ro.product.device=taoshan.

If I'm not wrong there is no matter of the name if the ro.product.device is the real codename(taoshan).

Can someone test this too?

Edit 2- Found that:

ro.semc.product.name=Xperia L

ro.semc.product.device=C2105

Seems that Sony write it correct but play store read the values from ro.product.* ( without "semc") :D
[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
Thanks alot mate for your insight! Appreciated
[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
Using this method also will give an error in flashtool because the it cannot determined what phone you're using..

you must restore back to default both name and device

I flashed fine without changing back anything with this method.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Amdathlonuk:
Well my Gear was rooted and running Null 07.

I couldn't resist taking the offer from Samsung and installing the new firmware...

Since then the battery life is drastically improved.

I am running Pedometer watch (I do most of the time).

It has recorded 6000 steps today

I have read 25 emails

4 Wordfued moves

4 messages

1 phone call

My gear has been unplugged for 12 hours and I'm on 83% - nothing short of stunning.

The new notifications are amazing, Wordfued notifications are telling me who made the move, what they played and how many points it was worth.

I simply cannot think of a better smart watch on the market at the moment. (but that's my opinion ;))
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kufel:
Wow.....

sepiroth887 can start sleeping more I guess.... Seems like Sammy hacked his ATN (or hired him :P ) and the notifications finally are what they should be!!!

Anything you pick in MK7 gets notifications on the watch. Awesome!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] appelflap:
Really?

Do you have the wake-up gesture enabled??
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cesar-gonzalez:
???

somebody get the new update??????
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Amdathlonuk:
Yes. I have gesture for wake up enabled. We were out shopping yesterday so I know it woke up quite a few times. Wish there was a way count to it.

I can only see the need for running Null 8 at the moment for internet and GPS.

Honestly the battery life has been massively improved :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Dmac1984:
Mine feels like it drains a little faster. 83% after 12 hours?! Sounds like a miracle.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ardsar:
With null 8 you can go into battery stats and have a look how long the screen has been on. I'm at 57% battery with screen on time of 2 hours. That's after 20 hours of charge and lots of playing setting nova launcher up.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] appelflap:
Sounds good. I didn't wear the watch today. Although it was lying around my Gear and connected to it (only received some text notifications) it I only lost 9%. That's 9% in 16 hours to be specific. So yeah, in standby the battery life is amazing.

Definitely going to do some measurements to see what the biggest power hog is when using the Gear actively.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JigJanus:
Seems incredible

With the new upgrade the Gear battery is more than fantastic

48 hours and has further 42%
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 95SKY:
I originally thought my battery life had shortened, then again I realised I charged it 3 days ago and have been using it a lot more with the new notifications activated :D still on 30%
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] firebat1212:
How did you guys get the new firmware already? I got the gear manager update and have been checking for the watch firmware update and nothing super annoying
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] reksp13:
I want to change my carrier. I currently have sprint. What are my choices and what are the drawbacks of each? Will I still be able to use MOAR ROMs? Ive never done this before any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] scoot0073:
Page Plus prepaid is great it uses Verizon network. granted your limited to 3G but man their 3G is crazy fast compared to Sprint. I had both my phones Flashed to Page Plus by a authorized dealer Evo 4G LTE & GS3 and I don't regret it. Everything works data/mms/sms. Now granted I had to use Verizon Messages app off Play Store to be able to send mms.

Now with in the last month or so Straight Talk offers service for CDMA phones I'm wanting to try that route next Friday and see how that works. I unlocked my brothers AT&T GS3 and activated it on Straight Talk Unlimited and hell he gets LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] reksp13:
Thank you so much. What Roms Will I be able to use after I flash? I use MOAR now Can I still?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] reksp13:
Does anybody know if after flashing can I still use any S3 roms?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeflash:
Hey all,

I had problems with my EFS so I restored from a backup using EFS Pro... it went OK so I rebooted my phone. After rebooting, it didn't go past the galaxy s3 logo screen (the first one) (bootloop)... So I used odin to go back to stock.. but still in bootloop! What else can I do?

I tried stock recovery > wipe data / factory reset

still boot loop :( help please!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeflash:
OK fixed.

I was able to fix it by doing this:

1. Odin back to stock

(still bootloop)

2. Odin cf-root (auto root)

3. odin CWM touch recovery

4. boot in recovery

5. plug phone to PC... open cmd and adb.exe

6. in adb:

adb shell

# mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

# mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 (this one failed, didn't find mmcblk0p3 in fstab)

# reboot

7. DONE! I was back to my ROM, however in factory mode. Now need to get rid of that.

Thanks to this post -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39523753&postcount=4

To get out of factory mode:

Install ES file explorer from market or get the apk

Get root permissions for it.

Go to /efs/factoryApp/

edit factoryadd, change OFF to ON, save changes, reboot in CWM, wipe data/factory reset

done!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voneschenbach:
It seems that cell phone companies white-list specific devices on their network and will disable access for device IDs that are not on that white list. Is there any way to change the hardware ID info for a Nexus 5 and have it report itself as say a Samsung Tablet or completely different phone?

Surely that would be illegal. Talk to your carrier and if they're really **** as you suggest,.change to another

Hi there,

I am occassionally having an issue of the Nook getting stuck on the lockscreen when coming out of sleep mode.

Any ideas on what is causing this and how I can correct it?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It is most likely your case. Some have magnets in them to put it to sleep when the case is closed. The solution is to open the case twice before trying the lock screen.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjsharks2006:
Success! Many thanks!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Timewarp:
Has anyone else noticed this?

If you put the phone on vibrate mode, then recieve a text message, occasionally the orange light will not stop flashing, even after reading the message. I've got the "flash light for No Limit" option selected, as I want the light to flash until it's read.

To switch the flashing off, I have to go into Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications then click OK without changing anything.

Annoying bug!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] borgs:
Yes, I've noticed this also. I have mine set to 5 minute flash but some things don't seem to realise they have been read and continue flashing.

Do you have the same ROM as me? - see my sig.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Timewarp:
Yeh, the strange thing is that this works ok for me when on normal mode (i.e. not vibrate).

How do you check ROM version?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] borgs:
Go to Start>>Settings>>System>>Device Information
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Timewarp:
Thanks. Yes, same ROM version. Is that the latest one?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] borgs:
Not sure if it is. I think there is talk of a 1.13 radio but can't find any firmwares at the Qtek site.

I wonder if you would mind checking something for me on yours please...

With the machine in flight mode, could you attempt to turn on bluetooth by clicking on the bottom left of the today page and then ticking the top checkbox that appears on the next page. Does your LED start flashing blue or do you get a message telling you turn on the radio first.

I cannot find a way to turn on bluetooth at the same time that the radio (phone) is turned off (note with pocket PC on). I think it is a problem with this firmware but it could be a problem with just mine.

Thanks
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Timewarp:
It has the same problem on mine: flight mode needs to be off for BT.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] borgs:
Thank you Timewarp. Unless someone knows of an alternative way to turn the phone off without using flight mode it seems to me that this firmware is a bit faulty.

For most people I don't expect it will be a major problem but for me, who intends to use mapping software whilst out hiking it could prove a real battery drain.

Qtec told me that it was a faulty phone and to return it - it does look like they were wrong, its not a faulty phone but a bug or strange feature in the firmware.

Thanks again!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] borgs:
OK, thanks to kta I have now managed to get bluetooth on and GSM off!

I did try it a few days ago and it didn't work - maybe I had an older version of the software.

So it looks like the standard software can't do it but some 3rd party software (Phone Alarm v1.27) can!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Timewarp:
How about this idea as a work around?

Turn on flight mode, then turn it off again. When it asks for your PIN, click Cancel. Then turn on BT. You get BT on then, without your phone connecting.

I'm not sure whether this will save the battery drain though.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] fone_fanatic:
so thats what that option was for. i thought it was supposed to flash the screen.

On mine if i get a message or a missed call the orange light comes on solid(not flashing) and i have it set to no limit as well

i'm on rom 1.12 and radio 1.13
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] borgs:
Yep, I thought of that too, but if you read what it says on the screen, something like "you can only make emergency calls" that suggests that it still needs a link to phone transmitters. So, although the green led doesn't flash I would say that it is still communicating with transmitters and thus using up battery power. I'll test this in my car, if I hearclicks over my car speaker then that will prove that the phone is actually still communicating with transmitters.

If I don't hear any clicks from the speaker then the phone probably isn't on.

I'll test it on my way home tonight and let you know.

Cheers
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Timewarp:
Yeh, I'm not sure whether it'll be communicating with transmitters all the time, or would only do this when you tried to make an emergency call.

If you think about it, emergency calls would use any available network, whether you're a subscriber or not, rather than the company that you have a contract with. When you have your phone connected to the network (flight mode off, PIN entered), I would guess that it would only keep your service provider's systems up-to-date with your location and not every mobile service provider in range :?: I say this because in some areas you can get reception from some networks and not others.

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what you find.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AEiX:
Hi,

This question is for anyone using the latest CleanRom on their Note II. Just wondering if your average battery drain is around 4-5%/h. I use BetteryBatteryStats. I also check the Battery section under Settings. The most battery life I have been able to get is 12 - 15 h with 1-2h screen time. At this point, the battery is at less than 10%. Is this normal ? I thought I remembered getting better life from older versions of CleanRom. I know these numbers are never achievable on any AOSP rom that I have tried. Just wanted to see what everyone's experience is with battery life. Just post any thoughts!

Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate your time!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] R1K05@N:
Just like anyone else, it all depends on what kernel you're on and what apps you have wakelocking. I've been using Clean 5.0 as my daily for months and the battery life lasts me throughout the day until I need to sleep at which point I plug in... but sometimes, I'm running into fast battery drain due to some apps going nuts on me or when Bluetooth is trying to link from a long distance (where the phone would heat up and drain like mad... btw this only happened to me twice in many months). After a reboot, it usually clears up and after a recharge, I'm back to 14 hours with 20% left at night. I'm not one to be anal about my battery drain if it lasts me until I sleep (because I have NEVER had a smartphone that would last me that long without plugging in... in fact, barely half the day would be when my device would need to be fed).

I'm using Perseus' latest with a few screen tweaks, no CPU or power tweaks, using Facebook constantly, Pulse, SMS/MMS, camera throughout the day, Next 3D launcher with all the fun animations running, YouTube, Pandora when driving (so my Bluetooth is on constantly)... let's just say I'm a heavy user. When my kids get a hold of my device, they run a bunch of games and drain around 10% by the time I get it back.

I am happy with the battery life on my Clean Rom 5.0/Perseus Note II. I won't fuss about it as long as it lasts longer than half the day because that is what I was used before upgrading.

The Kingo does work for the Verizon Note 3. I literally just did it. At first, it kept saying not supported, but I tried it again with my screen timeout off and I saw that when my phone was connected to Kingo, something popped up warning me something was trying to exploit my phone, click on the box and hit install. Then not long after that your phone will reboot and grant permission stuff will come up. You can either do it this way, or under security uncheck verify apps located under unknown sources.
