[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DracoManX69:
Hi guys I need a new phone for 2014 as my arc is getting really old, problem is i cant seem to find a phone that has all the stuff I want.

I really want the phone to be an xperia because the modding community is without equal, and would really like a removable battery, other than hat i really don't mind.

I can think of a few xperia like that however the specs are really kinda cruddy, the thing I love about the Arc the most has to be you can use it with one hand and it feels heavy and solid, not something most phones have these days

If you guys could make any suggestions I would be so grateful

Thanks

(OMG JUST AS I WAS ABOUT THIS, found the Xperia ZL, great specs, hard reset button (what i really need removable battery for) and looks so comfortable to hold
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Wrong place to post. This is the General Section for Xperia Arc/S, not a forum to ask for phone recommendations. Just because you own an Xperia Arc does not give you the right to use this forum to post something unrelated.

As for your choice of phone, it will depend on what you will use it for, since each phone has a unique selling point. Also, don't gauge the phone based on specs. You need to hold the actual unit and test it out. That is why every phone retailer has a sample phone for you to hold and test before you buy the actual thing. The phone can have the best specs but if you don't like to use it, you just wasted your money.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DracoManX69:
Yeah sorry about that just really the closest forum I could figure as I was looking for a phone that was pretty much like the Arc only better specs, even if it is 3 years old it still has a special place in my heart and I still think it's better then some of the more recent phones. Kinda sad to see it go so I really wanted something similar, couldn't really think of anywhere else to post this.

And yeah I know feel is important however based the design and weight of the zl i'm pretty damn sure ill like it alot :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Well if you're adamant about it I can't change your mind, but do test the phone out at your local phone retailer before buying it.

Hi. I have hard bricked my international s3 i9300

I was flashing through odin suddenly odin stuck at NAND Flash Write so i removed cable.

NOw phone is not entering download mode nor recovery.

How can i unbrick using my laptop windows 8.

Also i have one more i9300 in perfectly working condition
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
No download mode then probably needed a new motherboard, usb jig might be worth a try.

Is this even normal? Android os taking 29% on battery? im dissapointed on 36 hours of use
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lownignitus:
So I discovered this purely by accident.

I've picked up my phone at night a few times and have blasted myself in the eyes with the light of my camera. It acts light using the widget to toggle it to act like a flashlight. Thinking my phone bugging out I thought nothing about it. But after the 5th time I decided it was a built in feature.

After much trial and error, I have these results:

With your phone on and screen timed out (turned off), press volume up and power at the same time. The screen should turn on, as well as the light on your camera.

To turn off let the screen time out, or press power to turn it off. Then press volume down.

Now I do not know how it works on mine but not my wife's note 3. I'm running stock Rom rooted with no mods.

I will try and figure out how I have this working, but any insight would work too.

Does anyone else have this feature?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlphaDelta1:
Stock here, does NOT work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reilly1812:
stock rooted. nope.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jermehh:
I know Wanam Xposed has a feature for using volume up while the screen is off to turn on the flashlight, maybe that's it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillout2010:
Well we're on this topic. I'm stock rooted on mje. What's the best way for me to add the flashlight function to my phone? I miss having that feature as I've had it on the last 3 phones I've owned.

The post above yours should do the trick. If you're talking about a toggle from the notification bar, I think it is built in most custom ROMs.

Is it possible to have more than 5 screen and if so how?

Use a custom launcher. I recommend Nova.

Yup, been using Nova for a very long time. No other launcher compares.
[Moto X Q&A] 338lm:
In what ways is Nova better than Apex?
[Moto X Q&A] :
Nova is better cause I already paid for it. Lol

Actually... They are very similar.... Very. But I don't know the exact differences.

Sent from my Moto X cell phone telephone...
[Moto X Q&A] 338lm:
I noticed that even the screenshots on the Play Store for both apps are nearly identical. I haven't paid for either, but I might pay for the one that is the better deal.
[Moto X Q&A] :
I know. Someone seriously copied from someone. Lol

I'll say this... Here on XDA... You'll see Nova mentioned allot. Can't say I've ever hardly seen Apex mentioned. :)

when im on download mode, this what my phone has on the top right of the screen:

Product name: GT-I9505

Current Binary : Custom

System status: Custom

CSB-DEM_CONFIG_LSB: 0x30

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

how come it's 0x30? :/

they say if it doesnt have any 0x0 thingy, warranty can still be up. but when has 0x0 or 0x1, warranty would be voided. How come i have 0x30? :/

EDIT: All i did was flashed the CF Auto root, flashed slim rom, then flashed philz recovery and installed GoldenEye rom, theme etc. I never did install bootloader. :/
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaswinky:
You still have 4.2.2 knox free bootloader, so you have not yet warranty bit activated. That 0x30 is a different thing.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android addicts:
Yesterday I flash Samsung Android 4.1.2 I9300XXEMC2 stock firmware using PC Odin. After that after I installed AOSP based ROM (CM 10.2 as well as Omni), then my device not register on network but WiFi working. But with the Samsung firmware it register with my mobile network. This is not a IMEI, serial or SIM card issue. After installed to stock firmware using Odin, it gives a bootloop. Therefore I reset the device using stock recovery. Then it enter into the factory mode.

To exit that mode, I wipe the EFS folder and reboot. restore the EFS. Then I boot into the stock recovery and I can see E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument). Now I fix that issue by referring XDA thread.

Now my IMEI and serial back to the original.

Could you please tell me why my phone not register on a network when I'm on a AOSP ROM. When I installed CM10.2, I can see my network operator name in the lock screen, but it shows no service message. What could be the reason?

This is not a phone or SIM issue.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Search and read about efs format changes, your stock rom is very old and v1 while your custom rom is new and will require v2.

I don't use AOSP rom so you'll have to ask in your rom thread.

i'm considering on buying from expansy; i'd like to ask for your opinion regarding this site. any of you have purchased stuff through them? feedback on services, security, etc would be much appreciated. i do know that this site is uk based; so the more international buyers' feedback the better.

cheers

[General Topics] tintoy:
I'm UK based and I've bought a fair bit from them. They're alright. Not exceptional but no problems really. Just don't be tempted to back order or pre-order stuff with them. The stock in dates are often a bit optimistic (not really their fault as these things are beyond their control to a certian extent).
[General Topics] Robson:
hey mate

whew; owe you a pint there! i was considering doing a preorder for an item...thanks for the heads up. they do have an option where you can be notified when the product is available; guess i'll go for this instead.

cheers

[General Topics] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I have bought from them and they did exactly what they said. They were not that cheap for what I bought but they did have reletively tight security at the time. As it was an international credit transaction for a substancial amount I liked that.
[General Topics] jamijam:
yep, don't order popular items based on their "coming soon" dates because they are generally way off.
[General Topics] Zoltair Wright:
Heed the above advice. I ordered a Dopod 818 pro (from the Chinese version of their site), and went through helacious trouble. I finally got an i-Mate JAMin a month and a half after I placed my first order, it just arrived this morning. On the up side though, I managed to talk them into a 5% discount for making me wait.
[General Topics] Robson:
very informative advice; thanks so much for the feedback. guess i'd better wait till the item comes out then. i did find a hong kong based site (as per Zoltair Wright's message); given that i do frequent going there i might as well check it out myself and not do any preordering. thanks mates, helps tons!

cheers

I bought a few times, I haven't any problem. There aren't the greatest prices but it is not bad...

I got my k-jam from them here in Aus and very happy with the service.

Bought a bundle of optional stuff at the same time and even a couple of items the website said where 'due 1-3 days' got in the package that night.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l33t p1mp:
I'm completely stuck here. Download mode works, R&D test tool doesn't work properly. It runs fully, I get no errors, but then it launches into a bootloop on the white T-Mobile screen. I don't have a recovery anymore since its flashed the kdz file multiple times already, it just won't boot. It still shows as rooted, though. What can I do from here? I've tried to find a solution in the LG G2 stock firmware thread but there's nothing at all related to my issue.

I managed to boot into the LG recovery. It runs for a couple seconds then just goes to the LG splash screen then bootloop at the T-Mobile white screen. I've tried the R&D tool with all the different settings like emergency, different country, different files, compatibility mode for windows xp, etc. Nothing works.

My adapter is getting warm while charging. I'm on my 2nd note 3 because the other one stopped charging. That could have been the cord as well, but I was still under warranty and got a new device. I have a LG travel adpter that is probably for a G2 and that adapter seems to handle more power based on the numbers. I'm not an expert though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
It's normal for chargers to get warm, particularly modern ones. Lots of charge goong through it.

What are the numbers for the g2's charger?

Samsung: Input/100-240v - 50-60Hz 0.35A

output/5.3v

LG: Input/ 100-240 60-90Hz

output: 5.0v

small writing, but thats what it looks like. I thought the LG said 6.0v at first. Seems like the samsung outputs more
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
.3v isn't a lot, since you lose about .3v in transfer (so 5.0 is actually 4.7). Not enough to make a difference in heat, anyway.

Is there an ampere value listed after the output voltage? I know it should be 2.0 or 2.1 for the Samsung one. The ampere value determines charging rate on equal voltages, and so a 2.0A charger puts out twice the charge as a 1.0A charger. That's generally why one overheats when another doesn't.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Using chargers and batteries that are not specifically for Note 3 can void your warranty (and basically all the horror stories with S4 battery problems so far were from either a non-Samsung battery or a non-Samsung charger).

The Samsung USB3 cable has the extra thing with the extra pins for USB3 - I would suggest using that cable only with the Samsung charger OR with a PC when you need a USB3 connection. For everything else you can use a good USB2 cable (those are like 1-3 EUR, maybe cheaper in other parts of the world).

All that being said - the battery will last longer is you recharge it slower and if kept cooler.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZerReaper:
Hi, I am not sure if this is an old issue, but I tried to search in XDA and Google but could not find anyone experiencing the same issue as me.

I have used Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3, and transferring photos between them will still allow me to view the photos in Gallery. But recently when I got the Nexus 5, I transferred some photos over from Galaxy Nexus into the exact same folder where the photos will be saved from the camera, but it does not show up in the Gallery.

I was wondering if it is because the Gallery detects that the photo is not taken from the device, and therefore will not show in the Gallery?

Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
No - the gallery doesn't care about that.

Which folder did you copy the pictures into? Can you browse to that folder using an explorer app? (check to make sure there is no .nomedia file in that folder). Take a picture using your camera and verify where that is getting saved - and see if it shows up in the gallery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZerReaper:
Thank you for the quick reply.

I copied them into "\DCIM\Camera".. I can browse to that folder using FileExpert, and confirmed that there is no .nomedia file in the folder. I have also taken a few photos and verified that they are saved in the same folder (\DCIM\Camera), and they showed up in the Gallery.

Currently, the only photos shown in the Gallery are the photos taken by the Nexus 5 and the Whatsapp photos which I received.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZerReaper:
Okay, here is another interesting development. I connected the Nexus 5 to my laptop and opened the "\DCIM\Camera" folder, but I can only see the photos taken by the Nexus 5! But another quick check in the same folder via FileExpert can clearly see the other thousands of photos which I transferred. When I transferred a picture from my laptop to the phone via USB cable, it is reflected in the Gallery. I have no idea what is happening. Please allow me to explain how I transferred my pictures over in the first place.

I installed FolderSync and set up to sync with my Pictures folder on my NAS on my local wireless. As I am not sure how this can be the cause of the issue, I will try to copy manually later instead of using FolderSync, and let you guys know how it goes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Check the file properties of these pictures, and compare them to the pictures you took using the N5 - there should be something different.

I haven't used FolderSync, so can't really say what's going on.

On a sidenote, instead of loading thousands of pictures onto your device, why not just use some form of cloud storage? Load into G+ and it should show in the gallery too.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZerReaper:
I have checked the file properties, but there are not much difference in how a picture should be. But I have transferred my photos over using USB cable, and although I could not transfer more than 50 at a time (there will be an android media error on the phone), everything is finally transferred and can be viewed via the Gallery. I am still not sure on why they could not be viewed initially.

I would definitely prefer to use cloud storage. I set up a cloud storage on my NAS so that every single picture I took will be immediately uploaded to the NAS. But the telecom operators here in Singapore have reduced the free data bundle from 12GB to 2GB, so that is definitely out of the question now. Now my photos will only be uploaded to the NAS when it is connected to the home wireless network.

Thanks jj14 for your help. Really appreciate it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drzplaya1121:
Put your photos in a different folder
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Glad it worked when you copied with the USB cable. I wonder what caused the FolderSync method to not work - maybe contact the developer to see if they have any suggestions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No foldersync issues with photos here, though I only sync TO my NAS not from

Someone else created a thread where they had issues with photos transferred over wifi. See if same issue exists using file explorer over wifi

DISCLAIMER: I am NOT responsible for any damage you do to your device.

Slate 7 2800/4600 owners, this is not for you. I have ported the ROM to the Slate 7 though and you can find it here.

ROM DISCONTINUED :(

Go here to download the continuation of this ROM, ToZlate Light.

Post 1: Downloads

The ROM's description and download links are here.

This is JB-SlatePlusRom, a custom ROM being made for the HP Slate 7 Plus!

I originally made this for [MENTION=4240213]chairsz[/MENTION], and he had a Canadian Slate 7 Plus. He wanted a port of the Dopa v1.1 rom for the Sero 7 Pro, so that's what this project aims to be. His Slate 7 Plus died before he could test the ROM, but this is all because of him.

This is not in the XDA DevDB because to make a new project in DevDB, device is a required field, it's a drop down list, and the HP Slate 7 Plus is not listed.

FEATURES

ROM pre-rooted.

SuperSU added.

Bloatware removed! :victory: Removing them has saved about 139 megabytes of space, and that's in .zip form. If the bloatware is still there, go to Settings, then Apps. Find the app and hit Disable Updates. That will delete the bloatware permanently.

Original launcher has been hidden (saved as an .apk-hide file) in favor of Apex Launcher.

ES File Explorer added.

GravityBox Xposed module added.

App Settings Xposed module added.

Quick Boot added.

Xposed Installer added. (Not activated by default! Go into the installer, hit Framework, then hit Install/Update, then hit Soft Reboot or Reboot!)

Boot animation changed to match the one in the dopa v1.1 ROM for the Sero 7 Pro.

DOWNLOADS

JB-SlatePlusROM v1.0 - Initial release

COMING SOON

New boot animation roughly based on the CyanogenMod 11 boot animation

Overclockable kernel! :D

Fun Fact: This device's ROM is similar to the Nabi 2. In fact, it's also got a Tegra 3. But it seems HP did a horrible job at cleaning up the ROM for their own purposes, this ROM had tons of Nabi 2 bloatware in it!
