Absolutely incorrect. If for example you have more than 45 apps, it will activate but if you uninstall a few apps it reverts back. With interop unlock it is possible but ONLY on the ATIV S and we do NOT know when it would come to Lumias
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperCana:
actually, with my experience with many builds of windows phone, since WP7 no-do, all the way to current WP8 GDR3/Lumia Black, every time that I try to disable the app list by uninstalling apps, it works. However, without installing additional apps, it eventually reverts back to the letters. The only way to remove them is to hard-reset the phone and then not install more than 45 apps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almas Baig:
Hi There.

I am new on XDA, needing help with Note 3 which I got few days ago.

I got two major issues.

1. Battery Drain Issue:

I get approximately 5 hours screen on time, with moderate WiFi use and other normal usage. Is this normal :-/

2. Cant Establish Reliable connection while adding Google Account. Somehow I signed in and now Play Store, Gmail, Hangout no connection error.

I am not rooted yet, none of solutions worked, however if I change WiFi advanced setting to Static IP, it works but becomes slow...

Whats wrong ????
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediumsteak:
I get a little over 5 hours screen on time, which I think is acceptable.

Why do you need to change IP adress to static IP? Most internet providers periodically cycle IP addresses so you will have to update static IP everytime the carrier changes it
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brildenlanch:
5 hours screen on seems pretty average. I rarely drop below 50% on a 6-7 hour unplugged time, but that's not with constant heavy usage. I can watch a 2 hour movie on 50% brightness and lose about 18-25% depending, it seems to vary. Also I would recommend Juicedefender, it's the first app I install on new phones. If you're screen is off often, it will easily double your battery life.

Could you restate question 2, I don't fully understand what you are asking.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almas Baig:
I have problem with Google play. Gmail and Hangout. It been saying No Connection. I am not rooted so cant use Host method. Date reset, factory reset nothing work.

Help..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brildenlanch:
Do you have your Date and Time set to automatic or is it on manual? If it's not on auto, turn it on, reboot your phone and try to access play one more time. If this doesn't work I would bring it back to the store as the only other fix I know requires rooting. Edit: don't forget to turn off static IP before you reboot.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almas Baig:
I figured out something is wrong with my Router settings.

I Configured its Primary Secondary DNS to google public values.

Now google products work fine on my phone..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brildenlanch:
Great! Glad to hear you solved the problem.

I get 5 or 6 hours of screen time when I do mostly web surfing.Watching videos and movies I get 7 to 9 hours so screen time depends on what you are doing with your smartphone.

I have the p769 20h from T-Mobile. Well really Walmart family mobile. My phone is rooted, locked bootloader, and recovery. My phone has just recently started talking to me in a horrible robotic sounding voice LOL. ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY!! When I click to scroll through on certain apps it will talk. Flipboard, Gmail, and a couple others. It doesn't do it on Facebook, taptatalk, or instagram. I have looked and LOOKED all through my settings and can't for the life of me figure out what the heck is going on. Can someone help?

FYI

I was happily running my XDA-mini-S with SPB Backup v1, Pocket Plus v3.1, Diary v1.7.1 when I got a nice upgrade available notice from SPB.

I installed the upgrade and all my SPB application setting were lost and 1/2 of the Pocket Plus options configuration menus were missing :(

So I restored the back that I had just taken from my storage card all was well again.

I sent a report to SPB who in their usual style send back a quick reply with a new version with a trace so they could PD the problem. Well all was well until I installed the trace version.

The new version did install and all looked the same as before...... I got the trace files ready to send, but while I was 'exploring' via active sync. I thought that there looked like a reduced number of folders on my device.

Oh well I thought, lets do a restore........ AHHHHHAHHHAHHAHAHHHHHHH...... where are the files on the SD card?

Yup - you guessed it, they were all gone. Well I got them back with a restoration program, but the XDA now says they are corrupt and the PC unpacker says they are not SPB Backup files :(

Has anyone already upgraded and seen similar problems, has it worked for anyone?

Anyone got any thoughts of how I can recover my data? I am waiting for SPB advice now before I make my next move.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

SPB are at the moment saying its a platform specific problem, so my advice to you is DO NOT UPRADE TO SPB BACKUP v1.1

I hope I can update this tomorrow with some good news.

I am still waiting for a reply to my emails on Thursady to SPB. Quite suprised that they have not replied sooner as they are usually quite quick.

I hope to have a reply tomorrow, if not its time to escalate.

Anyone else installed Spb Backup 1.1 on a xda-mini-S?

Just go in the overlay folder linked in the error and open config.xml. Just delete the lines in the error or search in the folder history the commit that you have to revert.

Step one if you want to get serious setup dual boot w/ubuntu. Don't even look at doing a VM....just wasting time
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Black!Jack:
Definitely have to second this! Also, as mentioned in the op, make sure you have enough RAM. CM recommends 4GB. You can do it with less, but it will take a long time... Seriously long time. You would also most likely have to increase your Swap partition size as well with less than 4GB (or create a swap file).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
This is pretty cool and I've seen a few guides before. I've been toying around with this idea for some time. I just need the free time to do it right. I totally agree with the dual boot as well. So much easier than messing around with VM.

Here is a good place to start: (primarily for Nexus devices, but gives a great overview of how partitions work with Android and Ubuntu)

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/DualBootInstallation

And another:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting

Please note, I have not personally attempted these builds. With that being said, however, I believe that they will provide you with a good place to start. And by stating that they're good places to start, I mean that you should start reading there. In particular, with the first link, as it goes into detail about modifying partitions.

Very good write ups nonetheless.

[General Questions and Answers] ssmail8835:
Hello

I just recently purchased a HTC Desire 601 Zara. It's network locked with Alltel. This past weekend I did unlock the bootloader via the HTC Dev website. I tried to root the device with Kingo. When Kingo would go through it's procedures and at the end would say root was successful. But the phone isn't rooted. I can open up Kingo again and it would say "Rooted: no" . and Rom manager says it's not rooted. Also I noticed after trying to root the phone, bootloader has "tampered". This tampered message didn't appear until after trying to root the device. It wasn't there after I unlocked the bootloader. Based on what I'm reading, I can't get the tampered messaged off until I get the S-ON to S-Off. Wondering how I can do that easily and also I'm having a hard time finding stock ROM so I can use CWM. Where can I find stock ROM for this phone? Thanks in advance for any help.

It appears that the roll out is somewhat limited at this point as to which models and locations have the 4.3 update.

I'm curious if the executable's are the same as in the leak... or if they're different...

Though I would like a build.prop that references the correct model# and the new baseband...

(IF it were actually out already, I'd be tempted to backup my phone and re-lock my boot loader to download... since there doesn't seem to be a FTF available as yet...)

Some quick observation.

Pro

New Camera App is amazing. iso can be selected manually and pics in low light have less noise reduction

Apps launching faster.

1.06 Gb free RAM now

Slightly faster, but think that is due to less intensive graphics, translucents have been replaced with opaque.

Brightness option from top down navigation actually pops the brightness bar, so you can increase or decrease it.

New option of list of connectivities

Cons

Seems less Sony and more just android

Keyboard is a let down. Less options while using swipe function to get the correct word.

Black settings menu, black keyboard replaced with white ones, will this not lead to more battery consumption.

Still can't change the font, size or format of the clock on main screen.

Longer charging time, but same overall batterylife.

Overall want to go back to 4.2, but the camera is worth the upgrade.

Sony Xperia ZL German version

Hi there,

I'm new on this forum, anyway have you still not received the update for your Sony Xperia ZL in Germany. My ZL is also from Germany from eBay UK, it was 100% brand new and when I received it, I installed the last update.

But whenever I try to check for the Android 4.3 update, it says that my phone is up to date (but with the Android JB 4.2.2 version). This is really pissing me of because Sony say one thing, they do not respond to tweets, and they always give false information for Android update 4.3. Is it just Germany or the whole of EU that are still waiting to get this old update
