[Xperia Z1 General] ooohhaaahh:
mostly everything on the z (and i believe the z1) are fixable between root or xposed.

but i hate what sony did to bluetooth. does this happen on the z1?

recieve a picture or file with android beam, i have to wait a sec or 2 (sometimes long enough that beam almost or actually times out) for a confirmation message (tap to confirm incoming file)

what is up with that, nexus, samsung, htc don't screw up beams usefulness but sony did. haven't tried it in the 4.3 leak but i doubt that was dealt with. if it happens with the z1 is there any way to fix it besides an aosp rom?

thats like saying if your phone drops and hits a corner that it will crack.

a "drop test" is not 100% controlled, and a screen protector (ASF) can help reduce the chance for the screen crack by spreading the force of impact just enough to save the glass.

i got into a motorcycle accident with my nexus 4 (known for cracking easily) phone was in pocket screen out, it was in a thin micro fiber cloth in my pocket. the cloth had burn rubbed marks in it (like the fibers were gouged out) and the phone chrome trim was scratched, but nothing cracked.

dropped the phone plenty of times while recovering in bed, landing screen down on raised tile corners from ear height standing (increased pressure, likelier to crack) phone is good.

drops from thigh height while getting out of car at walmart, landed screen down on a pebble, screen cracks (salute the phone).

there are plenty of xperia z's with cracked screens from drops, and aparently bent z1's that happens mysteriously (could happen from pockets. my razr xt910 bent after a week or 2).

not to mention most drop tests have the z1 not crack, but it dies electronically. if the screen cracks atleast you can normally use it ;)

i've dropped my z lots and i peeled the ASF off, i don't see it magically cracking and i could care less about the glass splintering off if it does crack.

worried about scratches? get a screen protector. it'll more than likely not scratch as easy as the ASF and you don't have to clean residue off the phone when you finally swap it if there was no ASF, but one or two in the box in all countries and oleophobic coating on the screen, everyone wins.
[Xperia Z1 General] nobby00900:
I like having the ASF on. I have a contract now for 2 years. If the display ends up scratched to he'll I can remove the film on the front and back and good as new. Also when you come to sell your phone when you upgrade alot of people are put off by scratches. Yes I know you can use screen protectors but surely that is the same as the ASF. Either way just my opinion. If you don't like it for what ever reason you can always remove it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNewLegend:
Today I bought a new note 3 and it's a really awesome device, but I was really disappointed with its audio quality.

I'm not talking about the speaker quality which is very bad indeed, because it is not as important to me as headphones audio quality output.

I tried to enable and change the adapt sound settings, and to change the equalizer, but my galaxy s4 still sounds way better to me.

Maybe that's because of the audio chip? I got the i9500 and n9005 versions.

Help me please :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Only real option is to root and apply a sound mod but even then, they distort the audio once it gets raised so high, Not a lot else you can do really.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNewLegend:
We'll I don't want to root my phone anyway..

I thought the sound would be better on the note, that's really disappointing
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Yeah it's certainly not the best, I can from a HTC One.. so it sounds bad compared to that, but tbh it's OK for me I don't need it super loud. According to some tests on various review sites it's not much different to the Note 2 in terms of loudness apparently.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] asian_android:
I recently asked a question about what extended battery/case to get but my friend had asked my if he should get the spigen neo hybrid or the Tech21 impact case. The Tech21 has better protection but the the design is bland, the Neo Hybrid has interchangeable bands. Cons of the Tech21 is price at $44.99 or $34.99 (t-mobile version). Next are the buttons (I previously had a Tech21 case for my T-Mo GS2 the buttons for power volume were hard so I'm thinking the buttons on here are the same.) Those are pretty much the cons of the Tech21. The cons of the Spigen are that when you drop it it will have a better chance of the screen cracking. So what should I give to my friend?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GramKrackr:
I have both. My Neo Hybrid is my daily just because of how sleek and nice it looks get tons of comments. The Tech 21 makes the phone a little more round but is a very snug fit I have the grayish clear one. I'm not too fond of it, I also have the Body Glove Black/Brushed Aluminum Case which is very thin more to protect from scratches than drops.

Right, so I installed the latest CM 4.4, then I noticed gapps wasn't there. So when I went to the gapps site I could only find gapps for 4.3, so I installed that thinking it would do no harm.

Now my phone is constantly showing me messages of various different processes crashing "Unfortunately, [...] has stopped working". I did wipe and reinstalled, the problem was still there. I did a wipe and installed 4.4 PAC, problem is still there. What the hell is going on?

Thanks.

Edit: I fixed it now by installing the proper GAPPs.

I've just got my XDA2S and installed tomtom, tried to connect it through a cradle bought from pdamods which clearly states tomtom on it, also a wired receiver, unfortunately the tomtom cant see the receiver. Am I doing something wrong here?

The receiver works ok as I have a HP4150 with tomtom on that recognises it and can do its usual nav stuff without any issues.

Hi, my question is would you exchange the P6 with Nexus 5 , I have a Nexus 5 and thinking getting the P6. Love the design .
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] klincharov:
P6 instead of your N5 or using them side by side?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] markgranto:
I was all for getting the nexus 5 when it came out after having the P6 a few months, but heard bad things about the battery. On a full charge I get 2 days easily, sometimes more. Doubt the nexus 5 could match that.

I eventually got a hold of one in a shop last week and I was impressed, but after getting used to the thinness of the P6 i think i'll stick with it!

roll on january and kitkat.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] yeMagic:
I maybe could, because the lack of custom stuff on the P6

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] samomamo:
I already have a Nexus 5 I just ordered the Huawei p6 to try
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] samomamo:
I received the P6, used it for couple of days, and I compared it to Nexus 5. So this is what I think. P6 is the Best looking and very high quality android phone right now. But it has some flaws with ergonomics. The sides feel very sharp and because of that it feels very uncomfortable in hands. I feel like I'm going to drop it all the time ( when trying to unlock the screen or take pictures). And the software looks interesting like mix of iOS and Android, but its slow very slow if I compared it to Nexus 5. I even updated the software to b111 and it got smoother but not that much, and I think right now if I wait for Huawei to upgrade the software to make it more smoother its still is going to have glitches. Something is wrong with the processor or the GPU. So I decides to return it . thank all of u for replying and answering some questions. But its better to own the device and use it yourself to know which is better for yourself.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Well clearly it wouldn't be as smooth as the Snapdragon 800 powering a kitkat, on the Nexus 5. The CPU and GPU are no comparison.

But compared to other launcher skins coming on devices of other brands, the launcher is impressive and smooth enough. The b111 rom you used was 3 months older and there was some newer roms that provide better speed, but nonetheless it wouldn't be equal as the Nexus 5 as of yet, although i haven't used a Nexus 5. Hopefully the Kitkat+emui 2.0 upgrade coming January would provide better performance in terms of UI and daily usage.

The camcorder is now extremely dark compared to the camera almost hardly visible when selecting video to record! And in quiet environments all i'm getting from sound recorded is hissing and static, please tell the devs to disable noise cancellation it's making a right mess of recorded audio!

One other thing i've noticed is 2 problems with the gallery app, first off there seems to be some sort of initial stutter when flicking through photos or scrolling that did not exist before on 4.4 and also theres an annoying delaying of a split second when tapping a photo to view full screen which didn't exist on 4.4 almost like the phone is struggling a bit when it shouldn't with the power of hardware that is in the phone, these did not exist in 4.4.
