[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaster45:
Thanks! I am pretty familiar with Android in general. Im on a HTC Rezound now (unrooted stock, ugh) and had a thoroughly rooted/romed droid 1 before that. So while I'm way behind, I do have a little experience in this. The more I read up on this note 2 the more impressed I am with it, and its dev support. Unfortunately being a Verizon customer I won't be activating it, but I plan to have some fun with it for awhile. Thanks again for your input.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irwenzhao:
Late-comer here. I personally use Illusion ROM. It's a great AOSP ROM. But if u want more of stock, use Ditto Note 3 or SkyNote for that stock feeling+most Note 3 features.

Smack that Thanks button if I helped!

Does anyone know where I can send my Qtek 9100 for a service in the US? Heck, I even try to contact the service center in Europe but they did not respond to me. I tried to go to the seller at eBay where I purchased this from but he is not too responsive either.

My Qtek 9100 has a dead bluetooth and I think it's just a matter of replacing the bluetooth hardware (if that's even possible) and this phone should be as good as new. The Warranty card in the box says I have 24 months... but don't know where to claim that warranty. sad..

Any helps or hints would be greatly appreciated. Especially if you know any service center/agent locally here in Los Angeles, California.

Thanks.

Display lottery might be a hoax but different Xperia Z1 do have different white balance settings: some are warmer and others have tinge of blue tones. Lets post

- Firmware

- Model

- Your settings (with white balance app that u use)

I personally like whitish screen with slight tinge of blue (like HTC one)

The settings I use these settings to make screen Vibrant and everything looks really good.

As for the thread, I use 0 red 0 green 3 blue, to remove the yellow hue. That's all.. Before the ROM I used an app on Google play store called screen adjuster, use it if you don't have white balance in your settings, it does the same job
[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
I'm using a Screen Adjuster app from the play store because I don't feel like rooting my device and installing the sony white balance app. The screen adjuster app I'm using right now doesn't change the onscreen navbuttons and it makes blacks kinda blue, so the notification bar looks very blue because of that. Does the official Sony white balance app suffer from the same problems?

I was using ScreenAdjuster and was not satisfied with results. Thats y i rooted with LockedBootloader and installed custom ROM. With these white balance settings screen looks pretty awesome.
[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
I thought I'd bump this thread back up again now that we all have the white balance sliders.

I use 98 Blue, 0 for the rest. I never realized how yellow my screen was before this.
[Xperia Z1 General] jlevy73:
I'm actually using 150 blue and it looks very similar now to how my HTC One looks.
[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
Yeah I bumped up mine to 120 blue. I find the HTC One way too cool color temperature and it's not very realistic, so I kept it a bit down.
[Xperia Z1 General] nizarnoor:
I try to make it look like my iPad so I set it up like this: R=25, G=0, B=55. It's still a bit different and I can't seem to get rid of the yellow hue in some color tones but whites and greys are much better now.

To counter yellow add more blue.

Adding red and allowing more yellow gives a warmer colour.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiltron:
See the attached image.

I was using my phone last night, browsing reddit when a phone call came in. I answered it, did what needed to be done on the call then hungup. I went back to reddit when it asked me to login again; something it rarely ever did as "Reddit Is Fun Golden Platinum" remembers your account info.

A message came in shortly after, to which I wanted to respond with one of the many animated GIFs I keep on my microSD card. I went to the attach image in hangouts and bam, no GIFs. I thought maybe the phone was messing up, so I restarted it. The phone started back up, and still no GIFs or any media on the mSD card. I went into ES File Explorer and it said I had 1.79MB used of my 64GB card.

Previous to that I had about 10GB of music, 2GB of video clips from YouTube and about 500MB of GIFs, among some other random APKs from XDA and other places. Everything on my device was purchased via Play, or xfered onto the SD card after downloading from XDA from the developer (meaning I didn't pirate anything!)

I used a file recovery tool to try and recover some of the items from the card this morning, and well, look at the image. What happened? Why did it format the card, and then overwrite it with some random file?

Notes about my Z1:

Stock, Rooted but unmodified .534 (Android 4.2.2)

No special launchers

Recent installs were Vignette Pro, and Tasker, both from Play Store
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
This kind of stuff can do only a virus or a corrupted SD. The reasons of why this happen can be many. System Partition Failure of your memory can be one of the reason so if you lost everything you can't do nothing about it. Format your SD in Normal Mode, not Quick. All the application which you paid for it will be downloaded again when you log into Play Store with the account which you purchase them. If this happen again can be a faulty device too.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:

It won't. That ROM is stock, but dark themed and a few things added. Nothing you can't ignore or remove yourself.

I gotta agree with the others. Just use ExistenZ, its near close to stock, only good changes plus it's dark like you want it OR just use a deoxed stock ROM.

I kinda like some mix of the light and dark so I just use regular existenz rom with some dark apps, including this "settings.apk" made by xXWeresXx: http://i.imgur.com/N6TWy4R.png

Sorry if someone has already covered this but I really tried to find threads but I was too confused.

I have rooted two devices before, but this is my first Sony device. I am on latest 4.2.2 firmware with build no.15.3.A.1.12.

If you can please tell me the best way to root my device, that would be great. I want to overclock my cpu and maybe install a custom kernel. Will root be enough or do I have to unlock my bootloader to?

hello; this way you can root your device: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2591290 u need usb debuging on, unknown sources on and werify apps off for that, also i adive you to install fastbtoo, flashmode drivers (they are in the flashtool folder called drivers) and just in case jdk, sdk.

I dont think there is an option to OC withought custom kernel but i many be wrong

well for me not. there is was and will be problems with pcc so i always install seus instead. they are nearly the same but seus has less bugs

Hello folks!

Since there's a nice connection between Windows 8.x and SkyDrive I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to connect multi SkyDrives and ie give them the drive letters x, y and z.

I know it's a bit difficult because the (one) SkyDrive is connected to the hotmail account but maybe there's a solution for this anyway? :confused:
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] komugi:
You can map SkyDrive folder as Network drives:

I won't get my hands on Windows 8 til february, that's why I'm asking. :)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ausshir:
Network drives work the same in 7 as they do in 8 so you can test it. I'm pretty sure it would work though. The only issue is that on a laptop sometimes the drive wont reconnect automatically when resuming from sleep because WiFi is turned off (Unless you have fancy connected standby.)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDarth:
There's two real reasons to do so

To remove the icon from the drawer (in which case it is easy)

Because they run as a background service which uses the internet or something else (perhaps you notice an impact on your battery life)

Because you started and can't stop now

I think I'm at three. Right now, I'm just curious what all these pre-installed apps do. I've made a list of all applications, including whether you can disable them - see the attachment or

docs.google.com [slash]

spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtLlGgfkIOi0dDMwZF9xbkpXTE9

nMGFuMXdGRnIzbXc&usp=sharing

Please do provide information for the list. There are some gaps from before I started the list (including what some disabled apps do in terms of battery life, internet usage and other things).

In particular I cannot identify what apps are responsible for the running process "Motorola Services", nor what this does.

Finally, I would just like to collect information on what other things such as "com.qualcomm.atfwd" do (just out of curiosity).
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debaj:
A few remarks:

- Google uses Google Play Services to bring the latest API features (like Google Maps V2, the new Geolocation API, Google Cloud Messaging etc.) to the end users without the need of a complete OS upgrade. If you disable it, you will lose features (and even functionality) in a bunch of third party apps. Also it does not have an icon in the app drawer.

- Google Search is not just the search bar on the home screen, it is the entire Google Now feature. I guess it is not a problem if you disable it, but you will lose Google Now as well.

- Google One Time Init is the wizard you are presented at first startup and after every factory reset. You can disable it but it does not have much effect on the phone. I guess the other similar app (One Time Init) is its Motorola-branded counterpart.

- Launcher is the default home screen of the device, you can disable it if you have any third party launchers installed. Don't disable it otherwise, or you will have a serious problem.

- Tags is the AOSP NFC app, since we don't have built-in NFC chip it is safe to disable.
