thats an amazing trade if you ask me
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrah:
Sorry for hijacking the thread but I have a very similar question.

My white 16Gb Galaxy S3 2 years old, near mint for a Xperia Z about 6 months old I think. The Z is my brothers and he wants to sell it as he has got a ****ePhone to replace the Z. This will be a straight swap with no money involved.

I'm liking the Z and as with anything takes a bit of getting used to, but I can't decide if it's a good trade or not. I'm due an upgrade in april so do I hang on to the S3 or swap for Z and use it for 4 months until I can upgrade.

Opinions will be greatly received.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LuckyColdJohnson:
So I go out and spend 399.00 on the Note 3, 299.00 on the watch and set it all up. Google Plus (Photo upload was turned off) and it still uploaded 5.2 gigs. SO I'm now tethered to dial up speeds for the rest of the month. Basically making this so called awesome phone only good for calls and text. I called At&t and they offered me the 5 gig plan for 20 more dollars a month and 10 more dollars for each gig I use after that. Yes,,,,More money they want on top of what I just spent. I've been with At&t for a very long time and we have 2 business accounts and 1 regular. We are now thinking about going somewhere else. This is ridiculous and not fair. I hate this phone and service. Whats the point of having this phone when your scared to do anything with it data wise. Have to watch out for you tube and Google and all the crap they advertise on TV that make the phone cool. Well its not cool. Its so stupid and I'm mad. Thanks At&t and Samsung for locked bootloader and apps that dont F'ing work. GO 2 H** you ******** ****** ******s. YDTMS.

[Motorola Photon 4G] PatnetPatnet:
Hi have the stock ROM with the locked bootloader. It's become pretty flakey with very slow performance and failure to load contacts along with a force close. How do I reload the software? If I go to the device's update area in Settings, it just says I'm up to date.

I know that. Or do I junk the phone?

Sorry if this is obvious. Thanks for any pointers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FreeFlyFreak:
Settings>Privacy > Factory Data Reset

Use the option to wipe the internal storage too

Make sure your google account has synced your contacts first.

Also move any photos music videos files etc that you do not want to lose onto.your SD card or computer first

This will set your phone back the way it was when you bought it (plus amy updates )

I have fixed my glitchy photon twice using this technique its kind of a pain in the ass because you will need to reinstall any apps you want. But its worth it to get the phone running smooth again.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] flashyphotos:
Can anyone help with this,

I have an O2 Exec (Latest O2 ROM etc)

I have a Bluetooth GPS & Bluetooth Headset, when using the GPS, if a call comes in I can answer it on the headset, but the GPS goes all screwy, starts losing position, even after the call is ended the GPS is erratic

I have installed Buzzs Bluetooth Patch, and no effect,

Its a bit of a pain if I can't use a Bluetooth headset and GPS at the same time.

Anyone had this and found a cure?.

EXEC, Details are

1.13.82 WWE

11/30/05

1.04.02

42.37.P8

1.13.118 WWE

Help appreciated

Thanks

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] alix776:
Richard im on the same rom as you but without the bt patch and ive no problems
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] flashyphotos:
alix776,

I will try it again later on, I had the problem before I installed the patch, so I installed it to see if it cured it, but it didn't

I will do a hard rest later and start from scratch again, see if that helps,

I didn't have any problems using the same BT Headset on an XDA 2i, so assumed it would work ok on the EXEC, the only change to the setup is the GPS unit, I am using a really cheap and cruddy £30 jobbie off ebay (Its only 8 Ch, and seems a bit flaky!),

I will have a new Sirf3 unit arriving in a few days, so can try that to see if the problem is with the cheap BT GPS!.

I need to get a solution sorted in the next 10 days before going back to work in the US, or I will have to take the TTOne with me if I can't get this setup working 100%

Cheers

Richard
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] flashyphotos:
Alix

I just tried it again from a hard reset and the same problem

GPS works fine till I answer a call, then It stalls and loses GPS Position till I hang up, then GPS connects again but there is massive lag and the Map is nowhere near its true position,

Not cured until you exit TT and restart,

How did you install TT, I copied the cabs across and installed from the SD, I paired the GPS and set it to COM0, then in TT5 selected Other Bluetooth GPS and COM0.. am I doing something wrong with the way I am trying to get it installed

This has always worked on all the other systems I have used!

Cheers

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] giomir1599:
I have the same problem and other...

I have the same problem when using Tom Tom ,if I pick a call with my BT headset the gps lost the position and when I close the phone call TT says No GPS device.......it restarts by himself after few mins , but the position is uncorrect, it has like a sort of delay, the arrow on the display "follows me" 2 or 3 Km behind.

So, mi car is quite fast..but be faster than a navigation device is very funny...

Btw my gps antena is an Hamlet HBTGPS

Other problem I have is that Tomtom 5.21 don't allow me to use my TT5.00 maps,it only see Italy ,Iberia and UK...

I think I will get Navigon asap....

Bye...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] alix776:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Thrudd:
Same here

I am also getting this issue on an SPW M5000, flashed to the Imate test rom. I don't know if it was happening before on the original (crappy) orange rom that it shipped with as I had to upgrade my GPS to a bluetooth from a mouse.

It is a real pain not being able to use them both together and I'm tied to the phone with a wire at the minute.

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepeace:
noob

could you please explain this steps (Just download the latest Android 4.1.2 firmware and flash using Flashtool) because it will be my first time to play around with firmwares and i dont want to f*** up my phone :) I want to downgrade my xperia z because from the time on i upgraded to jelly bean 4.2.2 the Phone and Contacs icons disapeared and i think its because i backed up my phone on Titanium Backup two firmwares below 4.2.2 and then after upgrading two times it restored automaticly the backup from the Phone and Contact Apps and the new update doesent support these old versions...:eek:

also the icon disappearing thing happened on my previous firmware ( before i upgraded to 4.2.2, so in my first updrage after the firmware i backed up ) always when i turned my phone off , but then i just restored it each time from Titanium Backup, with restore App+Data, and i justed wonderd why this is happening...now when i try to restore it from Titanium Backup it stucks in the loading process..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikash1994b:
Brother you cannot restore system apps from different version of android.

Nd to downgrade first download a ftf of your country and download flashtool and install it

Second- paste the ftf in fimewires folder of flashtool folder(c:\Flashtool\firmwares)

Third-open flashtool

Fourth-click lightning botton on the top left. And select flashmode.

Fifth-click the firmware on the left

Sixth-uncheck appslog,cache nd data on the right if downgrading(to prevent bootloop nd this wipes your internal storage)

Seventh-click flash nd wait for sometime till a box pops up saying connect in flashmode.so to connect in flashnode hold volume down and connect in pc nd then let the process finish.

After 5 min it will flash and you will see flashing finished.now you have successfully downgrades yoir fimeware...enjoy
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepeace:
im pretty much a noob so i have some questions..ftf is a firmware like jely bean 4.1.2? what firmware is 2 times below 4.2.2? where can i find an original sony xperia Z firmware like this (i live in germany if this is importand :p )? and if i downgrade to the firmware i made the backup what should i then do to proceed with an upgrade whithout having problems again? i mean should i erase first titanium backup and then downlaod it after i updated and then make a new backup or something like this? And was my prediction right of what the reason was that the calling app kept disapearing by rebooting my phone?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepeace:

Flashtool- https://unrestrict.li/flashtool

Which android version do you want 4.3 or 4.2.2
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepeace:
If i flash the latest version (say the Jelly Bean 4.3) can i then restore from my backup all tha apps+data, not the system apps as the calling app, without having problems? Also can i then restore my Contacts (Contact Storage)? If so please the latest version :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikash1994b:
First of all bro ftf are firmware packages.and you can get any ftf in general section of xperia z forum but you need to search a bit.

Nd if you are using titanium backup,since 4.3 cannot be rooted for now, you meight need to flash a prerooted rom and then restore your apps/data from.TB..nd for contacts,measage you can use gcloud which can be found in playstore.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikash1994b:
And btw here your offical stock Germany firmware http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2622713

Nd prerooted rom- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2590088
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepeace:
Oook..So first i have to install the rom and then flash the ftf? My phone is also rooted now...with changing the rom will it be automaticly unrooted? Also the rom you gave is just for UK i think, or is this irrelevant and just the ftf needs to be from my country? :/ And do i need to create a recovery.img file?

Sorry for these questions..as i said im pretty much a noob on this things :p

Also gcloud cant find any contact becaus e they are non...they just exist as an titanium backup backupfile which i cant restore because its an system app..:/
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikash1994b:
Bro it does not matter which country rom you are using,,nd for installation just flash the rom in custom recovery before that wipe everything data,cache nd dalvic cache nd after instillation power off your devuce ns flash the kernel from the ftf but before flashing once read the installation procedure of the rom.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikash1994b:
Nd for getting all your contacta you need to flash that firmware. In which you took backup nd root it nd install tb nd restore all contacts nd finally backup in gcloud..:D

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
Try unmounting the SD then removing it, reboot the phone with no sd. Now power down the phone, put the sd card back in, power back up and see if it shows.

Another option try adding only one photo to the external sd with PC companion and verify that it shows.

Retun it to the seller, or chuck it in the bin. Do NOT flash any S4 ROMS on it or you will completely brick the device. It isn't a Samsung product, and you got ripped off. Get your money back if you can.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abraarukuk:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossFixxed:
Don't spam or create multiple threads about this.

You have a fake, it is not a samsung, not a galaxy, not an S4. ANY ROM made for a Samsung Galaxy will brick your device, don't do it.

If you cannot get to the seller you are stuck with a fake device. The only thing I can think of is to take legal proceedings against them if you can. Always buy from legitimate sellers with a track record and have written proof of purchase. If you bought this off some guy down an alley way you're going to get ripped off.

I know it sucks, I would be furious myself. There is nothing you can do other than use it as a phone, but do not flash software / firmware for a totally different device, it will DEFINITELY brick the thing.

Try to find out what clone you have and search if it can be rooted and if anyone has made firmware. Usually with the clones you are locked to what it comes with as there isn't a big dev community for the knock offs.

Sorry again, that sucks.
