[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Hacker's keyboard is still my mainstay as well although I think it's layout could be improved without sacrificing the keys (I often need Ctrl tab and esc).

For some reason the left hand side of the keyboard is not quite right. The left most key on the number row with the characters ` and ~ is too small.

Is that the case with your keyboard? Maybe there is a setting I can change? Hackers keyboard looked perfect on my Note 1 as it is a little wider than the Note 3.

One thing that might hold back my typing is that my flip cover can make my Note 3 a little awkward to hold and type.

Anyways, for writing long notes, email or even some texts, my experience with the pen has been quite good. When I pull out the pen and bring it near the screen,

a little square appears that when I tap creates a memo pad. The pen works very well with this memo pad. Indeed making corrections is also very easy as you just

draw a line through what you want to remove. It also does a pretty good job of recognizing both my printing and cursive.

Anyways, for fun, you might try a quantitative comparison. Who knows, you might find a surprising result!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diamantericos:
The pen is good for 2 things writing if your in a turbulent situation like traveling and for taking notes on a call that's it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Gosh! Only 2? There must be a third thing. Anybody?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] catchjeff:
Cleaning the wax out of thy ears?

But seriously, I have horrible hand writting and hardly have any errors when I am using the pen. Try using swype with the pen, now thats something totally different.

Anyways put me down as a pen lover.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DWebber18:
I like to write with the pen and find that it works quite well for me. I usually use it to swype because it's easier than activating the handwriting panel. I also find that swype interferes with my entry with standard typing. Sometimes if I hover too low over the keyboard it thinks I'm swyping and enters an interesting combination of typos. The ear wax thing is also pretty useful.

Hi there,

I am having some problems with pocket outlook. I am using IMAP and outlook does not seem to be saving my sent mail. I have the option to save sent mail enabled. I also have the sent items folder enabled (in the manage folders options). If I enable my IMAP sent folder I can see items sent from my PC.

Another issue is the periodic sending and receiving of mail using Wifi. Basically, when the device turns on to check the mail the wifi is not ready in time. I have created a fake GPRS account, which it tries to connect to instead. Reading many of the other posts about this I have tried the various work and ISP option but with no luck. Is there a way of forcing outlook to use Wifi and thus wait for the connection to be established?

Many thanks in advance.

Since this is one of the most interesting topics, i just decided to make this thread cause we were going off topic on other threads with this.

So lets hear it...

1. What you think about project ara, and phone blocks

2. Does it have a future? Why/Why not?

3. Will it work in the real world? Why/Why not?

4. Comments?

Phone Blocks

Phonebloks would consist of a main board onto which bloks could be snapped on by the user like Legos. Each blok is responsible for a unique function of the phone, much as a desktop computer has a distinct sound card, graphics card, processor, monitor, and power supply.[5] As a result, instead of replacing the entire phone when it becomes obsolete or broken, one could simply replace the defective or performance-limiting part. If the consumer wanted a better camera, for example, he or she could swap their small generic camera blok for a larger zoom camera from a manufacturer such as Nikon or Canon instead of buying a phone with a better camera. In theory, this would lead to fewer people throwing away their phones and contributing to the ever-increasing problem of electronic waste. Smartphones based on the Phonebloks system would be sold part by part, as well as in starter sets. When assembled, the phone would have a screen covering the entirety of the front, volume bottons and headphone jacks along the outer edge, and bloks clicked into the back, forming a rectangular block shape overall.

Project Ara

Project Ara is an initiative by Motorola Mobility that aims to develop a free, open hardware platform for creating highly modular smartphones. The platform will include a structural frame that holds smartphone modules of the owner's choice, such as a display, keyboard or an extra battery. It would allow users to swap out malfunctioning modules or upgrade individual modules as innovations emerge, providing longer lifetime cycles for the handset, and potentially reducing electronic waste.

Potential issues with the modular concept include a tradeoff between volumetric efficiency and modularity, as the framework interface holding the device would increase overall size and weight. Additional issues include regulatory approval; the FCC tests single configurations for approval, not modular configurations

Developing will wither be crap, difficult or be little to none at all. So... Maybe some devs might not go for it d:

Although I thinks its a great idea that can and will most likely take off in the real world, basically an android OS powered handheld PC
[HTC First] russian392:
Didn't think of a handheld PC. Maybe just a small portable desktop computer that you could just hook up to a monitor
[HTC First] r00tb33r:
The bus over which devices communicate with one another evolves as well. So once the bus evolves all your blocks could be absolete, not to mention that a lot of device types currently favor a particular type of bus rather a universal one. So if you were to go with using all the different busses that the industry likes to use (i2c, i2s, spi, usb, etc) you would end up having to place them at every block interconnect which would make for a very inefficient design.
[HTC First] russian392:
could you go into more detail on that? dont quite understand what a bus is
[HTC First] r00tb33r:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_(computing)
[HTC First] russian392:
In computer architecture, a bus (from the Latin omnibus, meaning 'for all') is a communication system that transfers data between components inside a computer, or between computers. This expression covers all related hardware components (wire, optical fiber, etc.) and software, including communication protocol.

Early computer buses were parallel electrical wires with multiple connections, but the term is now used for any physical arrangement that provides the same logical functionality as a parallel electrical bus. Modern computer buses can use both parallel and bit serial connections, and can be wired in either a multidrop (electrical parallel) or daisy chain topology, or connected by switched hubs, as in the case of USB.
[HTC First] russian392:
The idea would only work if phone blocks had enough interest and funding. That's why project Aura seems for feasible. It's funded by Google
[HTC First] adexmont:
Today is going to be the second day of project ara convention, for who is interested.

I don't like so much the ara style, i'd like to see PB instead, but we are far enough to realize in a short time.

Honestly i'm watching to porting desktop modularity in some way to mobile phone: you may buy 4 endo phones, 3 will do your desktop and one is used for a mobile device... when you are at home you can connect all 4 to get more power.

Ok this is just a dream ... just think about it: how can you or why can't you realise it ?

Thanks

Hi all

I had installed a custom rom for my mobile samsung ace GT-S5830i couple of months ago. Now I wanted to change the rom and replace it with NexusMe V5. After I followed the procedure carefully and rebooted my phone, the screen froze with the start up logo. On surfing the net, I concluded that the phone had been bricked and so I unbricked it using odin(flashing stock firmware). But now when I start the phone, the start up samsung animation keeps on playing again and again and there is no progress.

Please tell me what I should do in order to get my phone back in working order.

Thank You

Are Ali in stock Rom? Did you do any modifications to your OS (like any closed xposed framework modules? And the framework itself?) Are you sure the downloaded OTA zip file isn't corrupted?

I'm in the same boat. Received update, but stayed at 4.4. Have you attempted to sideload any updates
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] datallboy:
The OTA sent out for 4.4.2 OTA was an update from 4.4.1.

You either have to update to 4.4.1 then 4.4.2, or use twrp to flash the update file 4.4 to 4.4.2.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jd1639:
If you modded the system in any way, including removing bloatware you're going to have to flash the system and boot image from 4.4 in order for the ota to work

Yep, I've tried to sideload the ota zip file but I've got an error 'device not found'
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sriharsha2172:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yusuo:
The elusive RILJ problem. When his occurred I did read up on it, its not the location settings as they're all turned off and maps isn't the culprit cause I don't even have it installed. Whenever I check BBS it says RILJ (phone) and it literally drains my battery at the rate of 1% every 2 minutes with the 15 minute bus journey to work resulting in over 300 wakeups. I would love to use cyanogen permanently but I can't until my battery works for longer than a few hours at a time
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahendru1992:
It's not related to your location settings but I think the issue is with your radio. Couple of things you can do. Try the fastdormancy app from the playstore and disable fast dormancy. Also try switching to Edge. That should help too. Overall some amount of RILJ wakelock will be there.

P.S If its cynogenmod then try disabling emergency broadcasts. Its either in the message settings or in the dialer app settings. I'm not sure if there is a correlation but it did work in my case.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_real_vlad:
Hi guys I need some help. I just wiped my phone and restored it back to factory and I'm getting

everytime my phone boots up. This happened as soon as it booted up right after I reset it and it's happening every single time now. It happens EVERY boot, exactly 2 times. It will freeze up my lock/home screen temporarily and give me the error message. After it displays it twice then everything goes back to normal working order and I am able to make phone calls etc.

I do think I f'd up somewhere messing with xposed installer and the wanam module. My phone would go into boot loops when I had it previously set up so this is why I reset it.

It IS rooted. Factory kernel/rom (I don't think it's possible to change them at this moment but please correct me if I'm wrong.) I tried wiping cache and still nothing. Everything in Titanium backup is defrosted meaning its all there except for the things that I uninstalled on my last setup but I was caeful not to remove anything important (only At&t bloatware). Also I did have 'App Ops X' installed and it's installed now.

So please help if you can and thanks in advance.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_real_vlad:
Fixed!!!

Not sure how exactly but I went into Titanium Backup and disabled a bunch of things that I wouldn't use. I get no errors now. Might be disabling of the 'Knox' that fixed it, who knows.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FourPointedFreak:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_real_vlad:
Hi,

I can barely remember but I did remove Samsung Knox and everything with 'knox' in it. I would freeze a few things at a time that you don't think you need and keep rebooting until it's fixed. I went through many trial and errors until I finally got it 100% working.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techie_vintage:
Hello Frnds!

It's been quite a while that I am planning to buy Z1 but m unable to.. Just wanna be sure before spending too much on a smartfon!

My main concerns are - Sound Quality during the call & in recording a voice note or a call rec. How is the sound quality of Z1 in all these?

I have askd people and came to know that call rec is indeed successful in Z1.. So, I just want to know it's sound quality.. And how is the zoom quality in the camera? Plus, what are the flaws you people have faced in the basic functionality of the device? Pls. reply with your honest reviews! Pls..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zegun:
Cover flaps handles are made of hard material, unlike ZR which uses flexible material, so this one's more prone to break
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
You should check the QA section, the phone have many issues, like Touch Screen, Camera Overheating...Impossible to Unlock Bootloader. I think you should wait until the Z1 come out with Android 4.3 or Kitkat and see if this issues still there or not. Don't do the same mistake like us.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shteren:
Honestly? I think this forum is full of paranoid people who likes to complain, or guys who overload thier phone with crap and mods untill it over heats and fc everything.

I'm super satisfied with my z1. It is a big phone though, very big mind that. The screen is brilliant a tad more yellow than other deviced perhaps but it's simply a pleasure playing games or watching movied with, even with few people watching, viewing angles have improved from previous Sony phones.

I can reproduce the touch problem if I try hard but on daily use it never bothers me... Hope it will get fixed...

Sound and call quality is excellent, best i've seen so far in a mobile phone, volume is very lound on earpiece and headphones.

Thats my take, don't bloat it woth crap and it runs fast cool and perfect

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingchristy123:
Euclyptos I think it's a small minority affected by touch screen issues, I'm definitely not, the bootloader unlock Sony made it perfectly clear that if you do so it will cause things to stop working ie the camera, not really a problem tbh and if your not happy with the phone sell it and buy something you can overload with cr*p!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ermond012:
Hi. Z1 is a great device. I may not have a giid screen as it has a yellow hue but it is still bearable as sometimes it is noticable and sometimes it's not. The camera is great but a little improvement wouldn't hurt. Camera apps are really really great most esp the Timeshift Burst, AR Effect, Social Live. Setting aside the yellow hue, the screen is great when playing videos and gaming. Sound is good for me, loud enough for me. Sony Media apps are the best. Hardware is very classy having the black one. Super premium feeling once you get hold of. Software side, very fast and very smooth. UI is so clean. I'm very satisfies with Sony's UI. I think for me it's the best (other company's are great too but this is just my preference :)) Just make sure you get the later batches and triple check the unit first before purchasing. :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Both of you, first of all I do not overloaded the phone, still stock. Overloading the phone with apps do not have influence on the phone in the first place. I am not paranoid as well. When you start play a game on your device and the virtual joystick will stop working or will go crazy OR some buttons will start be pushed even if you don't touch the screen, give me a call!! and not with just 1 game.

I already made a vid about this issue, and I will do another one when the joystick stop working in the middle of the game. Thank you.

At last I love this phone but I am disappointed, I hope to solve my problem with an update on 4.3 or 4.4, that's why I said to Wait and not to not Buy it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdt73:
I have been using this phone for three weeks now, and have zero of the problems listed. I have no screen yellowing, I have no touchscreen issues, and call me crazy, but I don't need to view my phone from some silly angle, I look straight on when I use it.

I was able to leave Samsung and take my 64GB microSD card with me. Big plus. I purchased an external battery case, just in case I needed the extra juice (which I never have).

I think the difference is I am an adult with a family and a job. I don't sit for hours on end on my phone playing games or surfing the web. When I am at home, I will use my Macbook Air or Nexus 7 for that.

This phone is amazing, the screen quality is outstanding (coming from a Note 2), the microSD slot is a godsend, and the phone just feels like Sony took the time to build a quality device. I almost went with a LG G2 until I held it. It's no better, if not worse, than any Sammy product... feels plasticy and not very substantial. The call quality via bluetooth was a huge upgrade as well. (don't see many people note that)

And the big plus, I have tested the waterproof capabilities twice; once in the shower and another time at the beach. Both times, I was floored. This waterproof marvel from Sony is just flat out fantastic.

Get to know how to use the manual modes of the camera, and there's no limit. (I think most of the complaining picture takers are lazy)

Just my two cents.

PS

I play games on my XBox 360 and XBox One, and my gaming rig for PC games. I don't need a phone for that, let alone a "virtual joystick". They have something for that already, it's called a Vita.
