[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
I personally dislike Google Voice for 3 reasons:

1) It's just flat out UGLY. The UI of the app is just not pleasant to look at and is in serious need of being updated to reflect Google's current design standards.

2) I don't like that it shows all my texts within the app. It makes no sense to me that they would even add texting functionality into a voicemail app. It's just totally unnecessary. I realize that I can disable SMS notifications in GV, but it's functionality that I don't want or need.

3) Why would I want to change my voicemail settings online and not within the app itself? It's completely inconvenient that I had to use a computer to remove the "press 1 to answer the g*dd*mn call" option that I found myself saddled with after activating GV for the first time. Ditto for the fact that I don't need an SMS message AND an email in addition to the GV notification when I get a voicemail, and the only option to change my notification settings is online. Why can't I just change all the settings right within the app?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
I know OP asked about Sprint VVM and is aware of GV, but my experience with GV and the Nexus 5 has been very good. Sprint has a good arrangement with Google but i only use GV for VVM. If you skip the first prompt, tell it never to dial with GV, and then tell it to act as your VVM and confirm, it very much blends into the phone.

I get a notification with info and the option to play from the notification drop down. The VM plays via the dialer (stock dialer used to call/answer). You can delete it/call back etc via the dialer. I almost never find myself in the GV app at all, and when i do its the VM folder and looks basically like any other vmail. My sprint VM message plays for the caller too.

At first i was very angry i couldnt get the sprint VVM app, but after about a day or 2 i was actually liking the integration into the dialer. Now i think id be bothered now by the Sprint VVM app.

As others pointed out my VM's follow me to other devices or just about any browser as well. Additionally its very easy to download your messages for backup (altho i think you can download them via the sprint VVM too).

If i have the time later maybe ill post creen shots of the step by step setup to get things the way i have it.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jael65:
Hi, I'm from Mexico and bought a Z1 in Telcel plan (the original model was 6906) I have about 4 years using phone android, I wanted the HTC One but take long time to get here to Mexico, so desperate and buy me this Z1 and I'm really disappointed as I do not understand why some models like mine can not unlock the bootloader, because among other things I can not flash any custom room, or having a good kernel tweaks. (I really love Carbon room) All this regardless of the phone too easily scratched screen, and failures of touch sensitivity on the right edge, I guess be for the location of the buttons.

anyone of you know why?.

Sorry about my bad english.

Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Because your phone is on Contract and they locked the Sim and Bootloader for security. One day when the contract expire or your phone get old you will be able to unlock sim but no bootloader. It's a deal made between your Carrier Network and Sony. If you buy a Unbranded and Sim Unlocked Z1 you don't have this problems.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdan wst:
That is not true !

Stop leading people the wrong way !

I bought my Z1 branded and sim-locked and i was allowed / able to unlock my bootloader. So, what you said has nothing to do with reality. And by the way ... could you tell us how you got that information?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:

Why some Z1 models can not unlock the bootloader?

Thanks, there are many topics dealing with this but there is no a clear answer, I already flash one room unbranded but 6903 because as I said the original model was 6906 so I have unlocked the sim, I read out there on xda that taking it to sony service, as has unlocked the sim, they can change unlocking bootloader allowed: NO by Yes.

I'll try this way.

Greetings.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
It's about specific negotiations between Sony with each Carrier

Telcel decided they wanted to keep the bootloader locked, thus C9606 will be permanently closed.

There are ways around this, but it WILL void warranty.

Good luck.

I'm currently evaluating unlocking bootloader as well.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Unlocking Bootloader will avoid warranty in any case, Yes or No, buy actually the Developers on XDA they saying is no way around and you can't unlock if the Bootloader Unlocking Allowed is set up to NO. So when you buy a phone from a any Carrier make sure the Bootloader Unlocking Allowed is set up to Yes.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
omg, no, you are so wrong

If it says no you can't unlock, they're us no way around it..

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jael65:
Here in mexico punish us with prices, sony officially sold the Z1, at $ 1000 usd (no brand) With a 2-year contract I could get $ 350 usd in telcel. Besides, very few models get really good, slow to arrive and bring an outdated firmware. Google does not sell their phones officially. But I want to unlock the bootloader because I am almost certain now that the bugs are resolved that brings z1, soon going to release a firmware google edition for z1 (I really wish it) and I need to unlock the bootloader to install.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Check your bootloader, just write *#*#7378423#*#* and go to Service Info > Configuration > Rooting Status if there is Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO probably you can't unlock your bootloader. Call Sony Center and ask if this is possible but no guarantee about that.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
Are you positive about this?

I was under the impression you could get around the locked bootloader even if the device says No.

I'm not sure if I even want to try because I would permanently lose the Bravia Engine should I succeed. I'm not sure what it's supposed to do, but it sounds nice.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mharckk:
if the device says unlocked bootloader: No, then it cant be done.

sim lock and bootloader locked are depends on your carrier, there are carriers that they have locked the sim only and still allows bootloader unlocked.

but some carriers locked both. you can get a phone which allows to unlocked bootloader, if you buy a free sim phone or bought not in the carrier contract but from other store like sony store or any store that sells free sim phone.

please dont make things complicated.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
With Unlocking Bootloader you will lose X-Reality, which is not a big deal anyway because it not improve the images, and Bionz processing but actually this not influence the functionality of the camera at all. No body said about Bravia Engine, I hope not.

I just wondered if anyone had gotten any news from Sony as to if the bootloader on a not allowed model van be unlocked in anyway?

I'm aware that threads exist and ppl are flashing roms on handsets with locked bootloader but I think those are allowed to unlock theirs.

Is there still no way to unlock bootloader on disallowed models either officially or unofficial?

I want custom rom
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Just to add a little clarity to this, gregbradley helped me a lot with this.

If you've bought the phone from a carrier then there is a distinct chance that the bootloader unlockable status will be a flat no.

What does this mean?

This means that you will never (unless someone cracks it, highly unlikely) be able to unlock your bootloader.

If you bought your phone from certain carriers (like 3 in the UK, or so i'm told) or from third parties like carphone warehouse in the UK, then you WILL be able to unlock the bootloader, as the status for unlocking the bootloader will read "Yes".

If you see a yes then youre in luck, if it reads no then you most certainly will not be able to unlock the bootloader.

Further to this, Sony will not help you with this whatsoever, I have asked and asked and got little more than a scripted response, they WILL NOT help you to unlock your bootloader.

The sim being locked to a particular network means nothing to the bootloader, it's simply a coincidence that third parties who have bootloader unlockable phones are too sim free.

Hope this clears things up for people who weren't sure.

AFAIK, it is at the carriers request that the bootloader is in this state, not Sony's, probably why they won't help with it, but that's a guess.

You can still have all the goodness of custom roms m8, you just won't be able to flash kernels like doom kernel and or AOSP rom's and CM10 based roms.

In all fairness, youre not missing out on too much, but I was the same when i had a locked phone, the grass always appears to be greener on the other side until you realise it's actually not.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don_Perrignon:
Locked sim can be unlocked as long as you didn't screw up past the number of attempts. Whether that means you get your unlock (SIM) from your carrier, Sony (not sure), or some (trusted) third party website.

Thanks guys, phone is in the shop for SIM unlock/debrand and ready for pick up.

I did a search without luck

Girlfriend's Mako is on CM10.2 Stable (From a clean install, not a series) and she's using Handcent. She sent a picture to a friend of hers and it went through with a stream of additional photos in a slideshow. She sent another single photo to me as a test. I received the intended photo, along with the one that she had intended for the previous recipient along with the string of unintended photos that also went to him. I haven't had an opportunity to actually see the phone, but I thought I'd check to see if anyone's seen this issue. Not sure if it's a simple setting, a conflict between Messaging/Hangouts/Handcent or even a carrier issue. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeydangerous:
Hey everyone,

My name is Michael Heller. I'm a writer with PhoneArena.com and I'm working on an article about what Google has to do in order to move Android into the 64-bit world. The article is a work in progress, but I was hoping to get some insight from those of you who likely have more knowledge and understanding of the code than I do.

The article (still in the process of being written), can be found here.

As you can see, I have the basic framework sorted out, but there are some specifics that I need help with relating to the Dalvik VM and the Android runtime and how it will all work once Android is updated to 64-bit, but is still running 32-bit apps. From what I've learned so far, is that Android's multitasking will gonna cause issues on ARM64 due to its *mandatory* EL handling when switching between 32 and 64-bit mode. A single 32-bit app running on 64-bit Android will cause performance issues for the system, and drain the battery much faster.

I'm wondering if there is a way to avoid these issues with bytecode apps on a 64-bit machine, and I'm hoping some of you can help me out with basic fact-checking in my article.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightDevil:
Well, if Google wanted to start building a 64 bit version of Android, I guess wouldn't be hard, seen as we already have 64bit linux distros for a while.

The only thing I can think of, is either a 64bit implementation is not required yet (available software for android still manages fine with 32bit limitations), and/or Google is keeping the face with the hardware manufacturers.

Eventually will happen, it's just a matter of needing. (Typical market demand).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
From my point of view 64 bit will be manitory as 4GB devices will be needed with the super screen resolutions coming soon. I have a Nexus 10 with 2GB but due to the memory allotted to the screen there is not much left for apps. This last week Samsung announced even screen higher resolutions coming next year.

I don't really care what the ROM looks like although it's definitely a plus if it looks good. I'm mainly looking for a ROM that's designed specifically for music usage & playback.

But before I downloaded Cyanogen or something I was checking with you guys if you had seen any audiophile specific ROMS around lately? This one looked promising but it's not a Verizon model. Is there any ports around? Or would this even be worth it with the Voodo Sound on top with Neutron player?

Thank you guys for all of your help. I appreciate it. & this may be in the wrong place but I'm not sure so if it is then my apologies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
From a code/programming perspective, there's no difference in roms, other than the audio add-ons they offer... but those add-ons are nothing more than compression and equalizer tools. Beatz Audio, DSP Manager, Voodoo... all are just compression tools to 'beef up' sound and they give you equalizing customization, but you can do that kind of equalization with apps like Doubletwist. The digital compression those add-ons and apps use is teh evil if you're an audiophile, because it overcompensates and 'chops the head' off sound.

You're not going to get an audiophile experience on a phone, because of the hardware used; there's always going to be some signal to noise ratio loss from the headphone plug and device board. Bluetooth can reduce the S/N reduction, but most aftermarket roms aren't working well with BT for prolonged use (I've had good luck with the 4.3 roms, but not 4.4). If you want the best performance, get an AOSP-based rom, then add in all the apps you want to eqing.

I'm a music producer, so I try to avoid all that compression crap whenever possible... eqing is about all I'll do to a properly-mastered release. Case-in-point, I play older jazz FLACs all the time on Doubletwist; I use the EQ feature and it sounds about as good as you can get on an S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alee2117:
That's very helpful. So what's your favorite player then? I don't necessarily like carrying around a phone & a player for mobile listening but if I have to then so be it. I've been using Poweramp EQ'd pushing my vsonic gr07's for portable use. It was pretty good with the FLACS I have but I feel like it could be better. How much of a difference does the Voodoo mod make? Will it even work with Verizon galaxy s3 since it wasn't shipped with the Wolfson DAC? Either way I'm using a FiiO E17 with it which has Wolfson. I'm just trying to get this all figured out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Truth be told, I haven't found that one player I really love. If I could mix Winamp with Doubletwist, I'd have my perfect player... DT doesn't have very good playlist support and Winamp is clunky, but I love the feel of DT.

Voodoo is really similar to CM's DSP Manager and is a more customizable version of BeatsAudio; I honestly don't know if Voodoo works with the S3, but DSP manager does. The both offer compression and EQ control, so if you have low-quality MP3s, they'll sound better than stock sound will make them. If you have a music app like Poweramp or Doubletwist, you don't need to use the EQ control in Voodoo, so what's left is just the compression feature. Personally, I stay away from compression apps/mods like the plague, because they end up altering the sound of the file and, IMO, if it's a properly mastered file/recording, you don't need compression (except for maybe some tube compression on a standalone amp for some 'warmer' sound... but that's not applicable here).

I stick to using EQ controls in the players apps. If you try that and just don't find they offer you the sound you want, then try an app like Voodoo. But be forewarned, I've seen (and experienced) some issues on other devices where apps like that can alter the audio framework of the rom permanently, so even after you uninstall it, the sound remains affected.
