[Moto X Q&A] larry62:
The Net10 SIM I received didn't look like the vendor thinned it at all. I used a bit of sandpaper on the backside and cleaned up the edges a touch before installing it. Maybe it needs a bit more sanding. The Moto X must be one of the few Android phones to use a nano SIM. If an MVNO has a SIM for an iPhone 5/s/c, that should work in a Moto X, right? Never know if Apple's done something funky which would create an incompatibility with other phones using the same SIM.
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
A nano sim is a nano sim, so if they happen to have a proper sim for an iphone 5/c/s then it's the exact one that should be in your Moto X.
[Moto X Q&A] larry62:
Just happened again, and this time a reboot was all it took. This is looking a bit more complex. Measured the original T-Mobile nano SIM at a thickness of .68mm so sanded the Net10 cut down nano SIM to close to the same thickness. At these tolerances it difficult to get a consistent thickness across the entire card, but got as close as possible.
[Moto X Q&A] brian Marshall:
This!

I've not had an issue with my moto X, but my old samsung infuse would often give 'no sim' and 'no service' messages for a while.

A restart would usually solve the issue, but not always. Eventually i took the sim card out and cleaned the contacts a bit. Never had an issue again.
[Moto X Q&A] larry62:
Happened again last night. Reboot didn't work, but popping the SIM in/out did work without even rebooting. Think it time to switch out the SIM card itself and see if the problem continues.
[Moto X Q&A] JJHunterx:
I've experienced the same issue with my cut Straight talk SIM card...Usually, it takes about 2 mins and it comes back and works fine.
[Moto X Q&A] larry62:
I let it sit overnight hoping it would come back, but no luck. Even sanded down the thickness to = nano SIMs, but it's still problematic. Until I have some experience with a real nano SIM, I'm not calling it a phone hardware problem.
[Moto X Q&A] thatdude02:
I have a real Nano-Sim and it does this sometimes.... Usually decides to work again in around 30 seconds

Hi,

This is my first post here. sorry if its a lame one but ive spent weeks of frustration trying to root my fone but its just not happening.

people say i cant but then i find other places that have ways to do it then i spend days trying to do it (actully getting closer and closer) but then the end result is i have no rooted fone! Mainly because i cant complete the processes that there telling me to do. for example unlocking bootloader :/ WHAT A PAIN!!! and its still not done lol.

my phone details are....

Sony xperia Z1

Android Version (Now) 4.3 (Cuz i was told i was able to unlock bootloader on this version (Was i wrong!))

Build number: 14.2.A.0.290 (Same again,Been updated in my process of trying to root i think)

Dont no what else you guys need to help but them things come up often.

Please can someone just relive my stress and tell me if i can root or not, i would be very gratefull. if i can root then could someone also point me in the right direction to how to do this... simply step by step instructions (Pretending i have a new fone and a new laptop, needing to download EVERYTHING from fresh)

Dont see why the process cant be easy like iphones :( been jailbreaking them for years but there just rubbish fones!

thanks for any help in advance.

You can root your Xperia Z1. I don't see why you're struggling so much. You need to downgrade to .534 to root your phone.

Right i appriciate the replies guys! i really do...

I will give them both ago tomorrow, as ive got work in 6 hours lol. But il let you no how i get on.

Do i have to unlock my bootloader for any features on a rooted device? I only really want to root to get rid of those horrid bloatware apps, not really sure what else you can do with a rooted device yet but i want to learn. Last time i rooted a device was in the HTC Desire Z days haha.

Ive spent hours trying to follow Sonys instructions to unlock bootloader but it doesnt work so im hoping i dont need to.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
No. You don't have to. Unlock Bootlader is needed only to flash Custom Roms with Custom Kernels. With Locked Bootlader you still can flash Custom Roms with Stock kernels and get Root.

If the bloatware on your phone is the main reason then you can flash via Flastool a Unbranded FTF Android 4.3 like I did, clean and smooth.

Type *#*#7378423#*#* on your phone and if there is Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO you can't unlock your bootlader.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l-_-M4r5h411-_-l:
Back again, still with no root or unlocked bootloader. Bootloader i can unlock but it wont let me because it says "Waiting for Device" all the time. ive followed the Sony guide to unlocking bootloader untill the bit it tells me to plug the device in fastboot mode. then it says the comp will want to install some drivers... point the computer to the Google File/USB_Driver,

1. my comp doesnt even ask me to install drivers when plugged in.

2. when i point the phone to that file through "Device Manager" it says there isnt any drivers there. im guessing this is the reason why im getting the "Waiting for device" problem.

Anymore ideas?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
I have no idea, when I plug mine, windows always install the drivers and I am on Win 7 Ultimate.

How do i check to see if i have successfully Unlocked my Bootloader? I think i may have done it using a completley different way that all the tutorials tell me too :/

Also... if i go to settings/reset/ and factory reset my device, which i do, do alot of the time, will i have to unlock bootloader again each time?

And if i ever get to root my device, then same for rooting?

Thanks again people for your patience
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Type *#*#7378423#*#* there have to be wrote Bootloader Unlocked instead of Bootlader Unlock Allowed.

So why you don't follow the instructions?

I think you should carefully read well all the tutorials because you getting confused. :D

If you do a Factory Reset you just reset your phone to how it was at the beginning and this will wipe all your data. (Apps, Data exc..)

Factory Reser have nothing to do with Bootloader or Root.

If you Unlock Bootlader, you will unlock permanently until you will not decide to re-lock it.

If you Root your phone you Root permanently. The only way to lose root is to flash a stock FTF not rooted.

photo contacts pro is ugly... I would like the pic to fill the pop up window in an incoming call like IA Caller on 2003SE used to do :( Besides, photo contacts pro dows NOT get the pics you've allready assign in Contacts... you got to assign them allover again :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gtdRR:
You wouldn't want to use the pictures from contacts because they are tiny, 72x72, and when photo contacts pro would blow it up it would look absolutely horrible. Personally I enjoy the feature that PhotoContacts lets your crop any picture. And saving the pictures is even easier, all you do is name the file using the name of your contact and put it in the photoContacts folder.

"I would like the pic to fill the pop up window in an incoming call like IA Caller on 2003SE" when I try to do this with photo contacts pro, the text "Incoming Voice Call" keeps hidden under the pic :( the full screen option is just ugly.. with big ugly buttons...

As some of the google search pages do not tell you, that if you don't use the ndk it breaks busybox's wget, traceroute, ping etc.

Hi folks,

I've got an Emerson EM744 el-cheapo tablet that I've had about a week...comes with the usual pre-installed apps. Comes rooted, thankfully.

I'm using Droidwall (popular, free app from the Play store), which is a very simple (too simple!) front-end for linux's iptables. I've basically got everything blacklisted, and use the white-list to enable traffic as needed.

Here's the puzzle:

Even with the FB app blacklisted, I'm still getting FB alerts.

I'm thinking that they might be coming through the kernel and / or system, which I *do* have white listed.

Here' something weird though:

Though I've got the kernel white-listed, the firewall logs still say that the firewall is blocking FB packets from the kernel...

Not liking this app too much right now, not to mention that it starts up automatically a few seconds after being killed...

Anybody got a decent handle on how to rein-in this app "gone rogue"?

The way I kept my unlimited data plan was by getting my wife a smartphone, using her upgrade for my phone, and getting her a new plan. She had a dumb phone, so when we went to get us both upgrades, her 2 year upgrade was used to get my S3, it was transferred to my account, and her account was setup with the standard 2GB plan.
