It looks like the tw_status_bar.xml file is missing in the extracted folder on Android 4.4 KitKat. There is a status_bar.xml file but could not find the strings to replace. Have you tried adding this on Android 4.4 yet?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] avirk:
What device you have running kitkat? If its Samsung then you have Tw_status_bar.xml otherwise you won't.

In other devices its only statusbar.xml, this guide is wrote based on JB and not tried on kitkat yet. Just try to dig little deep to find the right code. Or upload your xml file here to let the OP check it for you if he have time.

first of all hello to the best Team in the world and happy new year :)

i am new to andriod and i have a galaxy note 2 N7100 and i heard that rooting the phone gives more advanced options :D i got the toolkit from your adorable web site and rooted my phone :( but because am beginner i want to upgrade my phone to 4.3 or 4.4 but i don't know know to do it . i only can deal with videos and pics guides that's why i liked the tool kit and rooted my phone :) so please can any one help me with details ( pic's or videos ) how can i upgrade my jelly bean to 4.3 or 4.4 ? or even is it better to stay on 4.1.2 or to upgrade ?

Thanks alot guys and waiting for reply :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foka002:
Whatever u do, don't upgrade to 4.3 by official updates because you will lose warranty. If you want to keep it clean then this is what u need to do:

1. Install custom recovery ( I recommend. Philz's)

2. Flash Mj5 bootloader ( very important so you can keep your warranty)

3. Now you can do whatever u like. Flash custom roms etc.

I know it's not much explained but I'm sure someone who's got more time will explain better. This is just quick guide so you can stay safe.

i already lost the warranty after makeing a custom rom for the 1st time :D now after losing the warranty i cant upgrade the official update it says that your phone is modified and software updates are not available so i want to update manually by a custom rom :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foka002:
You only lose warranty if they can proof that you modified your mobile. If you have not used official 4.3 update then it's easy to restore your phone to stock with out any trace of previous modifications. Install custom recovery which is designed for installation of custom roms. Read this forum and you will find all the answers. Remember don't use official 4.3 updates for now until your knowledge is a little bigger. Regards
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
I would go for 4.3. 4.4 is not stable enough for everyday use, and 4.1.2 is slower than 4.3. Find some ROM with Note 3 pack, you will have more options and features and they're pretty bug free.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kristiandg:
Hello all.

I've got an issue where I can only surf the web via GPRS on Cingular's 8125. Its very annoying because if I've got a live WiFi connection, that should be considered the primary. Of course, I've got an issue with my WiFi connection after my imate 2.x upgrade, but that's a separate issue.

I found a reg key:

HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\PrefConn

It has a string "MEdia Net" (Cingular's data network).

I tried changing that to "The Internet", but to no avail.

I think this lists the preferred connection (hence the name).

Thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] :
hello guys,

.

as you can see i am a newbie, but i have managed to root my xperia sp following doomlord's instructions,

and got into a small prob thereafter, that was charge draining.

i googled for it and somewhere it was recommended to factory reset the phone.

before doing it i backed up my system apps and my apps with data using titanium backup

i did that, but it didnt work, charge drain continued

then i read another post regarding this, advising me to completely charge the battery once, and thank god it worked!!:laugh:

after that i tried to restore the data from my sd card(both system and my apps), and did it successfully.

titanium then recommended me to reboot my phone.

i did that and ****!! , i got into a bootloop:mad:

lack of a removeable battery has further complicated my problems, as 90% of the instructions to solve this tells us to remove the battery first

the rest 10% have been tried and they didnt work for me.

i really need some firsthand help here!!!!:crying:

Go to System\usr\idc and open file clear_ped.idc with a text editor

look for the line

#Pressure

touch.pressure.scale=0.2

I changed to 0.1, save and close,

Secondly go to System\usr\idc and open file clearpad.idc

look for the line touch.filter.level = 2

I changed the level = 2 to level = 4

Reboot and enjoy.

My touchscreen now works flawlessly and I hope this fix works for others please test and report back your findings.

Remember to hit thanks if I helped you in any way.

You can try other settings, You can change the 4 , from 1-7 1 being most sensitive, not always best and 7 being the least. Each device will be different and vary in results. I wouldn't recommend going to 7 though as your touchscreen might become unresponsive.

I found 4 was the best on my handset,. Good luck.

What Rom and Kernel are you on

What Rom and Kernel are you on, I think some 4.3 ROMs still have an issue with the system being read only, I'm by no means a dev and you would need to read about this on whatever ROM you have thread, once you gain access to system being read, write you will have no issue saving.

I can't turn the phone off to enter recovery mode either.

Try pressing and holding power button and volume up until it vibrates 3 times, after you've rebooted the phone.

If that doesn't work:

Best thing to do is link it up to PCCompanion and reset the phone to all it's factory settings. Try that?

Hello guys! I came here to show you this video:

[Search Youtube for XPERIA Z1 タッチ切れ再現法 The method of reproduce] Sorry, new users can't post links it seems. But please check the video out.

I wanted to ask if any of you could give a reasonable explanation of it. If this is a software issue - how could it be reproduced in such a manner, by touching the metal frame of the phone? The video shows it pretty well. I also managed to reproduce the bug like this on my Z1. It has been in service for about 20 days now. I am worried that they might just 'mask' a hardware issue with software filtering. My initial assumption is that this is due to bad grounding? Why else would human contact trigger it? You can see it can be reproduced on-demand like this.

Thanks for reading! I hope someone can explain it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 水攸月羽:
Actually,you don't have to touch the metal frame!

Just put Z1 on a desk,wait for 30 seconds,touch screen and the bug will happen !
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Agree.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brapicoco:
video demonstrates that a touch is being registered when touching the frame. It's kinda weird since why did the screen reacted to the touched frame. I have done that also and it's the same with me. But even after touching the frame and screen registered the touch, still screen fails to produce a continuous touch.

Sometimes it produces phantom touches which can be the cause of the random zooming and highlighting when browsing

Also tried changing the touch filter and failed to save. I think it needs root access

Think what he ment was if you hold the frame then the issue doesn't occur, well that's what happens on mine at least, putting it down on a desk usually makes the bug show it's face. Holding the frame fixes it.

It doesn`t make any difference: clean or dirty, pointer speed, touching the alu frame or changing system files - it`s still the same, no difference. Just pure coincidence if it works fine after applying all those "fixes", it will come back and it`s still there for sure.

Okay, so I have flashed the .136 provided by androxyde it's the BAL version. I have to say that the touch problem is greatly reduced in this FW. Tried reproducing it on a flat surface and on my bed (issue appears immediately here on my case) and on my hand. On .290 issue is really there as stated by all users who have this problem

But suprisingly, I have tried reproducing the problem with all the methods and especially swiping and gaming. Guess what? the problem is still there BUT it's really hard to notice and I can play now with my phone and use swype. It seems that the screen has been calibrated in some way. If I had the problem I just lift my finger for a fraction of a second and then problem is gone and will rarely appear again.

I saw it also in touch test and multi touch test. In multi touch test the screen blinks if the problem is occuring but after lifting my finger for a second and touching and swiping again, the problem is gone. I have tried it on my bed since that is my best way and the fastest way to reproduce the problem. Issue is barely there.

All in all the update worked fine for me, I dont know if this is the case for other people. I hope theirs will be fixed too and this fix should be retained in kitkat since this the first time in 3 months that I have used my z1's potential. I hope this helps.

cheers! :good:

[MENTION=4115062]brapicoco[/MENTION] They are on the right way to fix this problem BUT like you said the issue still there relatively, then this problem will be fixed more on next FW for sure, because is not a complete solution but good to know they did something and we can use the phone. I hope this .136 will work in the same way for everybody. I will be glad if it will disappear completely.

I don't know about other users, I was sharing what happened for me.

An like i said, the issue has completely gone from mine now, no signs of any issues at all.

All i've done is change kernels, using a different radio from EE instead of generic.

If it comes back i'll let you know.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Yes, please let me know and what exactly you did to not have that issue anymore.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Like i said m8, the only difference i've made is a switch of kernels, i'm using ihackers kernel with monx's rom, i'd previously flashed a few other rom's to test them out, so tried ihackers, then slimkat then went back to monx but instead of using the stock kernel or monx's, i've used ihackers kernel, then i reflashed just the radio from EE UK's FTF file.

Other than that i haven't done a thing, i've retested it several times and it hasn't happened once.

So all good here so far anyway .
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brapicoco:
Good for you then but there are others who do not like to root their phone and do the different flashing and just rely on stock. Then again, I hope this will be fixed in the future updates.

It started to reboot and right now it is stuck on the Green HTC logo with the red writing at the bottom. It doesnt change from that screen so I don't think it would be classified as "bootlooping"

After accepting the 4.3 OTA, your bootloader is locked and there is no way to unlock it. My suggestion to you would be to grab the 4.3 ODIN file, reflash to 100% stock, root using saferoot, debloat as wanted, and hope for the best.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but there is no way to unlock the bootloader once taking the 4.3 OTA. Attempting to do so will brick the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidshadow:
well that stinks...

The only reason that I even attempted the upgrade is because next week I am going to purchasing the smart watch from the Samsung Galaxy Gear. For that watch (you can make calls from the watch) you need the upgrade to pair my SGS3 with my smartwatch when I get it next week.

Now this OTA update is quite new so that means that there still might be a chance to unlock the bootloader eventually when someone works it out right?

Big question:

Is it still possible to have CWM or TWRP with this 4.3 OTA update?

Thanks for the reply.

The S4 boot loader has been locked down with Knox longer than the S3 has, and no one has cracked it yet. I'd say the chances of this boot loader being cracked wide open are slim to none.
