[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denzel09:
It s unsense ahah if i request an unlock code and then never use that, when they ll see the phone not unlocked and bl says warranty void: not, how can they void warranty LOL

The bootloader ll say always: Warranty void: not

It s a bit unsense...

You are right. But who knows in which countries they could be successful with this.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoLo2207:
I've read somewher that:

Bootloader locked --> code 0 in bootloader

Bootloader unlocked --> code 3 in bootloader

Bootloader relocked --> code 2 in bootloader

AFAIK there is no way to go from 2 to 0 yet.

I have to return my G because it doesn't recognize any SIM, i'm waiting for my EU stock firmware to be uploaded by someone, and then I'll try to get it repaired with my bootloader unlocked. Maybe I'll relock it just to have more chances of not being declined.

Similar Problem, Slightly Unrelated

Hey All,

Dropped my XT-1056 after owning it 6 months -> black screen and what appears to be a boot-loop. Contacted Motorola, and apparently it is still covered under warranty. However I do have an unlocked bootloader & root, and therefore my warranty is void. What are the chances they will notice the unlocked bootloader before opening it up and send it back as-is? I have heard rumors that popping it in the micro (I know I know this will pop a few transistors and brick my phone) will render it inert, and they would most likely just replace the phone. I have also heard that the first thing they do in the RMA process is a factory reset, so they might not notice the unlocked bootloader.

Any thoughts on which way I should go?

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elijen:
No warranty covers damage caused by dropping your phone so you don't need to care about bootloader unlocking :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Can you explain step by step how you did this and with the programs/versions used? :) thank you!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorinAlex:
hey denzel09,

did you find out how did the user gunnroseclose managed to get root with his unlocked bootloader?

are you ruling out using fastboot boot recovery bla? this would mean a big oversight of the locking functionality, but otherwise how did he do it?

he said he didn't request the code on motorola, he didn't have the voidwaranty flag, and he did have root.

what did he do for that??

thanks
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2hipso:
unlocked bootloader is not voiding warranty in EU, but when you drop the screen and crack your display, you are still not covered with warranty, since it's manually damaged device.. but when your display one day just stops working... then yes, you have warranty on that

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gijoecam:
I'm wondering if it's possible to disable the notification for the System Update to 4.3? I'm currently Rooted Stock MD4 at the moment, and there are still too many outstanding issues with the upgrade to 4.3 (KNOX, rotate, sharing photos, network connections, wifi tether, battery life, connectivity, and others I'm reading about here). I'm happy with everything just the way it is, but my phone pops up the alert that a system update is available every 10 minutes. I'd be more than happy to leave it just the way it is until the devs can work the bugs out of the ROM options, but the alert is driving me bonkers!!!

Thanks, gang!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newuzer1:
For those with a Verizon VS980 that installedd/upgraded to TWRP 2.6.3.4 from this thread, have any issues using OTG or installing custom ROMs? I've seen a few from that thread have problem with the later but they were on a different model. Just trying to get a feel for how stable this recovery is before I forget about it and it bites me later if it won' restore or something.

I'm new to Android so kinda nervous about installing something that isn't listed on the TWRP VS980 G2 repository. They latest listed there is 2.6.3.3 but that .zip failed via Flashify and TWRP 2.6.3.2. Any reason for concern?

I appreciate any responses/feedback.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
I am also keeping an eye out for 2.6.3.4. Would like to backup to OTG.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newuzer1:
I've used the OTG to move backups off the device with 2.6.3.4 but I haven't tried to restore any backups yet or flash any custom ROMs.

What I gather is...

4.3 based ROM use 2.6.3.2 (no OTG) or 2.6.3.3 (OTG)

4.4 based ROM use 2.6.3.4

I'm not sure if 2.6.3.4 will restore a backup of 4.3, created by 2.6.3.4 (in this case, stock VS98011A). I suppose I may have to downgrade the recovery back to 2.6.3.2/3 to restore.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayraycarter4:
You have to flash you adb for it to stick
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newuzer1:
Thanks for the feedback but I went ahead and installed 2.6.3.4 some time back. I believe I flashed via TWRP 2.6.3.2, not adb, so I'm not so sure that statement is accurate.

Anyway, sorry for reiterating but my concern is regarding for those that have installed it 2.6.3.4....

has anybody had issues with OTG (the reason for this question is i'd considered moving all nandroids off the device to save space. i'm no longer concerned because I can always move the backup back to the phone's storage via adb.

has anybody had issues flashing ROMs? seems there may be an issue with 4.3 based ROMs. Not sure about this.

[Transformer TF300T General] tayden812:
I have a quick question. It seems that my tablet has lost its ability to connect through USB recently. I was unable to send pictures to the pc one day and have bought numerous cables to no avail. Looks as if, somehow, it just wont connect through usb. The original cable was acting up during charging anyway. My main question is, how do I root without the ability to connect to a pc? Is this at all possible? I was rooted before but since installing the newest update, 10.6.1.27.5-20130902, i noticed it wasn't rooted anymore.Am I pretty much SOL? BTW, nowadays the tablet wakes up and beeps like every other minute while charging. Dont know if its related. I wish I didnt do the update altogether.
[Transformer TF300T General] Drahric:
Updating to the latest firmware (at last check) hides the developer options from the settings. Your problem might be that USB debugging was disabled or never was enabled.

To add developer settings back into the settings, you need to go into the "about tablet" in settings and tap the build number 5 or so times and then developer options should show up.
[Transformer TF300T General] cmendonc2:
If its a cable problem, the cable only costs 5$ on amazon.
[Transformer TF300T General] tayden812:
I'm on my third replacement cable already. Also, developer options are turned on. USB debugging is on as well. They charge fine but connecting them directly to any computer i have does nothing, almost like not plugging it in at all. Have tried on three different setups that worked before, Win 7 X64, Win 8 X64, Win XP X86.
[Transformer TF300T General] cmendonc2:
Disable the developer options and USB debugging. Windows may be trying to recognize the ADB instead of trying to mount partitions.
[Transformer TF300T General] tayden812:
Tried that too. Doesn't seem to work either way.

Which worries me severely.
[Transformer TF300T General] Drahric:
If you haven't already, install the google sdk adb drivers and see if that works, though from what it sounds like that's not the problem.

I'm thinking bad usb port on computer... try wireless adb if you can...

[Transformer TF300T General] tayden812:
Don't have the dock. Went to the Best Buy out here and they don't got it. Worst case scenario, my port is jacked up, can I still root without it? If so what steps can I take to do so?
[Transformer TF300T General] Drahric:
depends on if you have a custom recovery like twrp if you do, then you should ok flashing supersu package, otherwise you are in the worst case scenario...
[Transformer TF300T General] tayden812:
THought so. The update completely killed my recovery as well. Doh! Thanks for the help guys.

Hi,

I'm reporting that my original Sony made USB cable have some issues:

first charge - all fine new phone was not turned on before i plugged usb cable to do a first charge

second charge - plugging usb cable has no effect on the phone at all i unplug it and plug it again no reaction then i decided (it was very late) to plug it to my nexus charger and nexus cable - it charges fine !

third - i decided to check if the Sony charger is any good so i used nexus usb cable with original charger - all fine phone charges, then i tried Sony usb cable with other devices - nexus 7 is charging, HTC One X is charging :confused: then i tried to flex that cable at every part - no effect

now I'm afraid that it is dangerous to use it - i put it in a cabinet and waiting for response from Sony support...

[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
UPDATE: Take a look at this Xposed Module by [MENTION=2536649]itandy[/MENTION], it'll give you the same results of this modded APK and it's easier to install (since you need only Xposed Installer). Also, it'll work in any Android version available for Xperia M, while this modded APK will work only in stock 4.2.2 ROM ;)

As you guys may already know, Stamina Mode is a power management state included with many Xperia phones that improves battery life up to 4 times by disabling background apps/processes when the screen is locked and automatically enabling them again when screen is unlocked. However, when Stamina mode is enabled, the LED notifications are completely disabled or replaced with a generic three-time white LED notification, depending of the Android version running in your Xperia.

Third-party apps (like Light Flow) are completely disabled in Stamina Mode, even if you whitelist it. So, based on the info posted by [MENTION=4728023]quisvir[/MENTION] I managed to mod SuperStamina.apk from Xperia M dual. The APK used on Android 4.2 based ROMs seems to be different, so, the enableLeds() call isn't present in the decompiled smali. Using the modded version quisvir made for Xperia SP causes boot loops on Xperia M dual (C2004/C2005), so I researched a little and after some tests, I got the changes working...

The only file that was modified in this mod is smali/com/sonymobile/superstamina/xssm/Xssm.smali, where I removed these lines from the method setPowerStateLocked:

iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/sonymobile/superstamina/xssm/Xssm;->mService:Lcom/sonymobile/superstamina/XperiaPowerService;
invoke-virtual {v0, v13}, Lcom/sonymobile/superstamina/XperiaPowerService;->enableLedsOverride(Z)V

I tested the modded APK in Xperia M dual (C2004/C2005) running 4.2.2 and it works flawlessly, even with third-party apps, but it should work with any Xperia running stock ROM based on Android 4.2. It won't work in Xperia M (C1904/C1905) unless you have crossflashed it with 4.2.2 firmware from Xperia M dual. It'll also won't work in 4.3 firmware. If you have Xperia M running 4.1 and don't want to crossflash, the Xperia SP version from quisvir may work.

To install the mod, you'll need root access and a file manager (like Root Explorer or ES File Manager) to replace the original APK in /system/app. Also, make sure to set permissions to 0644. After that, reboot your phone and your LED notifications should work even with Stamina Mode on.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seb77bis:
Hi,

Just bought a cheap Android phone. It sports a "modest" quadcore A7 1.2 Ghz and a single core PowerVR SGX544 (<20 Gflops!) but I am basically amazed by how well it runs most 3D games (including very recent games) - and I am kind of lag allergic. One of the trick is that the resolution is kept natively "low" (580x960)... to me the perfect balance for a 5'' device but it is up to the taste. Needless to say that 2D app and navigation is flawless and modularity and overall compatibility is simply great (micro-SD, removable battery, Vanilla Android).

My question is simple: Is it really worth investing in a way beefier terminal for the games coming out soon or will the scene unlikely move fast? When I peek at phones such as the Xiaomi MI3 (>150 Gflops)... I simply wonder... even if great bang for the buck is it really worth? You additionally have to pay a premium on internal memory since you almost never get a micro-sd slot... Is it really so different in the iOS world where people keep claiming that the new terminals are required to run the latest games (I never own nor even tried any such games). If it is so why isn't it starting to happen in the Android world?

Any hint, explanations on what is going on???

Cheers,

S.
[General Questions and Answers] x000x:
so basically this is what i did. i had some old contacts on another phone, i exported them to .vcf file onto a sd card, then logged into google to import the contacts.

then on my brand new phone, i have the google account sync set up. everything is ok except one thing. on the phone it added some blank contact groups or folders, and i would like to get rid of them b/c i either have no use for them or they are redundant to groups i already made in google.

for example, in my google contacts manager i have

my contacts (which i have blank since i have made custom named groups for specific people)

under that i have:

business

customers

friends & neighbors

family

now in my phone it has

business (which has the contacts from the group i made in google)

coworkers (which is blank and auto-created by my phone)

customers (which has the contacts from my google group)

family (which is blank and auto-created by my phone)

family (which has the contacts from the group i made in google)

friends (which is blank and auto-created by my phone)

friends & neighbors (which has the contacts from the group i made in google)

on top of all this, the groups auto generated by my phone, which are blank, do not show up in google. its like they only exist on my phone or something.

i've tried figuring this out on my own but i can't seem to. is there a way to either delete those blank groups that were automatically created by my phone? its kind of annoying having those blank contact groups, or a redundant duplicate group that i already made.

edit: solution below!

ok after some trial and error this is what i did.

starting in my phone, i made a 'dummy' contact.

next, when filling out the contact info, scroll towards the bottom and you should see "group name".

when you click group name, you are met with a list of groups. Basically what i did was put a check mark on ALL the boxes for all the blank contact groups that my phone premade. this made my dummy contact appear in all of them.

finally, i logged into google, and all those blank, contact groups that my phone created showed up! and because i could not 'see' them when logged into my computer, i was able to effortlessly move all my imported contacts into those phone-created groups. Ultimately since I could not delete the empty groups my phone made, I ended up having to delete the ones that *I* made, to cut down on redundancy. for example:

all contacts in friends & neighbors group (which i made in google) were therefore moved to the "friends" contact group my phone made. After which I deleted the 'friends & neighbors' group.
[General Questions and Answers] x000x:
bump
[General Questions and Answers] x000x:
ok... what about somehow trying to copy/paste the contacts i put into groups that i made, and moving them into the groups that my phone automatically made.... then deleting the contact group(s) that i had previously made while logged into gmail?

to me that might be a solution, but i can't seem to figure out how to copy/paste a huge group of contacts at one time. i'm assuming i have to do that in my phone, since that is the only place those automatically generated contact groups are created.

I have this netbook "acer aspire one 531". I can just plug my sim card and surf to gprs/hsdpa/umts what ever you wana call it. Now i wonder how much i can get out of this pice of hardware.

the most epic thing would be to mirror my android phone into a virtual machine which uses the cardreader as sim provider, then i would be able to make calls and this stuff.

it would be best if i can launch just a app in the win32xp there, but i have also a ubuntu in dualboot.

maybe i just have to install a real android to the harddrive.

[Moto X General] methodz:
Okay guys so I have a Moto X and an HTC Stereoclip.

Upon first pairing everything is fine and dandy. Volume levels are as expected. Once I disconnect when I get to the parking lot at work and reconnect when I get inside work the volume is SUUUUUUPER LOW!!! The only way to fix this is to go to my bluetooth settings on my phone and "forget" the HTC Stereoclip. On the initial pairing everything is okay again. There is no way I'm going to keep re-pairing it the long way each time I want to use the stereoclip.

The problem is with the phone though. As I have a Galaxy Note 3 that I use with the stereoclip as well but it has no volume issues pairing and re-pairing.

Do I have a bad unit?
