I am running the latest CM11 nightly on my I747 with the KT747 kernel and I have no hope left. I have searched everywhere and cannot find this issue. Everytime I boot into recovery, all it will do is backup the rom. It will not let me do anything else, so I have no access to recovery options to flash anything. Can someone please help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] baoma87:
Have you try flashing recovery via Rom Manager?

Sorry. I actually resolved the issue by flashing TWRP in Odin. I'm done with cm.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenzellybean:
Hi folks,

first time user of stock Google calendar and finding its a pain for corporate users like me - who has to dial into many conf. calls with a number to call in and then a pass-code to join...I am not sure any other calendar in play store has such features.

So I was wondering if its possible to install HTC calendar onto to Nexus 5?

I tried copying calendar apk, widget apk and calendar storage apk onto Nexus 5 and tried to install but the install failed - not able to install. I am sure I am doing something wrong.

Is it possible to install HTC calendar onto Nexus 5 - It has all the advanced features I am looking for.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
I'm not positive but I suspect that the htc calendar app requires Sense.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenzellybean:
Thanks, I am also thinking it might need some HTC specific code libraries?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
This isn't an HTC Calendar, but the widget is a huge improvement IMO. I've been using it for quite some time. Its updated regularly and offers a ton of customization if you're looking for a great calendar widget.

So I'm looking into buying my first smartwatch and the Sony smartwatch 1 is only 90 bucks but I was wondering if you guys know it will work with this phone. Specifically android 4.4 if you have this accessory and can help me that'd be great. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] detdett:
Yes it will
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anactoraaron:
Yeah but Sony smart watches suck. I got the sw2 for free (I review products) and I stopped using it after writing the review.

Primary reasons:

Poor screen res

Lack of useful apps

Doesn't always notify when getting a call/text/etc

Have to install Sony app that has hidden data collection defaulted to on

Have to install an app for everything (an app for text notifications, an app for phone notifications, etc)

No built in speaker/mic

No camera and camera control app isn't that useful

And finally

Periodically enters low power mode and stops updating the time. That's right. It doesn't even do that properly.

Also newegg often sells them for 69.99 so 90 seems high.

Edit : forgot that exchange notification app is only compatible with Sony phones

If you have Kies installed open the .dmg installer and uninstall. Might be the problem. If that doesn't work I would shutdown parallels and see if it will connect to osx.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Most of you know me, or have seen me around.... so are probably aware of my, 8 week cold turkey stint without my Ultra.

Reason being: There was a small repair needed.

... However today I took my family on a small tramp, in the sun, to a water hole for a swim..

I was taking some picture with my Ultra, and the screen started flickering... so i powered it off and then back on... 'black screen'

Everything was still working, but black screen. (obviously can't see anything) Went to do a hard power off, by holding the red button, and hmmm whats that. the white humidity paper is red. **crap!** the lens on both the front and back have fog all over them. No I've never even taken my device underwater, it may have received a few splash's today, but caps are always closed... and they were today.

conclusion:

The last repair was completed, and the device was not sealed properly...

So... awaiting a response to my rather lengthy email... (very polite) and will see what the company say whom i bought it from.

They are based in Hong Kong, and it cost me $120 NZD to send it there and back... (I had to pay both freight costs)

SO.... there you go. fricken awesome! My device is dead again!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Oh god no.. I don't know what to say. The typical thing now is that you'll ship it away (again) and we'll receive 4.4 the day after. Just watch it happen.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jaime4272:
hey lord I send you a private message. nothing important but. i'm going off topic but can you tell me or any body knows how to make the screen home page larger or to expend once the DPI has downsize to 280 DPI

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Oh man that sucks. Maybe you could buy a new one and when this one finished, you just have to sell it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
exactly.... thats exactly what will happen!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
yeah I have thought about that... I may end up doing that... even if I don't sell it, i may just give it to my wife.. she has a 3 year old android...

Will have a think. If the company even reply and acknowledge their fault....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Would you consider just buying another Z Ultra in your country?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Not for sale here, they are all imported :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
So basically it didn't survive the water test? Makes me think twice now with regards to taking my Z Ultra in the water...

It's a shame your not covered by insurance.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pablodelouis:
Oh my ... Sorry for your loss :/

They can't replace it instead of repairing ? i mean that's a lot of money especialy if you have to send it back again ! :eek:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Yeah, Thats what I'm saying man. The freight charges could have paid for another phone. I'm sure there's some reputable online retailers that does RMA for free?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
yeah but we are talking about NZ dollars here so the $120 is only about 50c US ;)

as a comparison they are currently selling imported for about $6-800
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
This is bad news Hamdogg, you didn't got much change for enyoing this device. Hope this will be solved for you in good way.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
Oh man! Feel for ya bud, that's not good. Is the phone passing you off or is it worth it when you have it working?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I've used it in the rain, before I had the initial repair. worked fine, the humidity paper was still white. BUt the last repair company was complete rubbish. Was not my call as it was shipped to Hong Kong (where i purchased it) and they had it repaired.

So if your device is new, and not been opened then you're safe.

Yeah i'll get it repaired, and then sell it. I've bough a C6833 in New Zealand. Its not a sony store, but at least I don't have to ship it overseas. Should arrive next week I'm guessing. I was looking at the Z1.... but just couldn't do it. size of screen is obviously more important to me than a better camera... plus i have the QX10 so there's that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
Yeah, despite what my first girlfriend told me, size ultimately matters.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
haha!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camoxjeep:
Running twrp rooted stock rom on verizon. Everythings been fine since Ive had this which has been around a month. All of a sudden my phone restarts by itself and goes into recovery. I tried to restart and it just stays in recovery mode. I only have about 8% battery left now and have no clue what to do. Just plugged my phone in and I cant tell if its actually recharging. Anyone know what to do? Ive tried a restore and its still stuck in recovery. V2.6.3.3 any help is very much appreciated. thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
Flash a new ROM... hopefully you have the zip of the one you are currently using?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camoxjeep:
How do I do that? its the stock rom. I never loaded one a different one.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
Oh, I thought you were just using one of the stock ROM's from xda... not the actual one that came with the phone. However, you can try to push a new one to your phone with adb and flash that. Do you still have the recovery zip? Maybe recovery just went bad and you can reflash it...?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camoxjeep:
any links how to do that with adb? Been out of the loop with flashing and came from a motorola phone so LG way is way different. thanks

Here's one thread. You should Google it for other I instructions but there are tons of them. Also try to find the adb and/or SDK download files.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camoxjeep:
OK, still working on this. Dont have but a few hours here and there to get this running again. Been to tons of pages reading, reading and more reading. Downloaded and installed SDK manager. I guess it also installs ADB. I found it within the SKD Platform-tools folder but when I click on it all it does is open, goes thru a ton of commands then closes. I also found it in C:ADB folder. Does the same thing. Doesnt stay open so I can type anything in it?:confused: Ive got flashtool installed also. I cant get into download mode on my phone either.

Also trying to go this route LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) in General section but dont know exactly which file to download. Right now downloading the VS98010B_13 file. Probably need the VS98011A_01 but man it takes an hour to download. Which one do I use? Also dont know if I have the D800 or D802? My box says LG-VS980. Dont know if that matters. But again I dont think I can use this method as I cant get into download mode.

I do download the KDZ files and not the TOT files right?

Any other help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truckroot:
Try the return to stock method with the vs98010b file first. Sounds like ur phone took an OTA hence the recovery bootloop. If u can get back to stock I'd root right away and stop any of the OTAs. U can just flash the 12B ROM and radios after installing a recovery.

Don't flash or use any files for d800 or d802, Verizon model is vs980.

Go Start->Settings->Personal->Buttons->Lock, than check "Do not lock buttons". This is it. Now any button will bring on your device.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] angelpuyol:
Please help me, look, I'll explain my situation, I have an XPERIA S LT26, I bought locked to a carrier, or at least that's what I though. My deviced stopped getting software upgrades from Sony, so I though, cyanogenmod, why not? So I started searching for info and stuff, I realized that my bootloader was locked and with: "Unlocked Allowed: No", so Sony told me that I had to unlocked the phone with the SIMLOCK code, so I get the code, and when trying to input it with a friends microSim, supposedly "not acceptable", the phone started normally and never asked my for the code... and it was completly functionable! I was able to call with he's microSim and everything, for some reason the 3G for the internet didn't worked... I don't know what to do, in the service menu of my device it appears the "X" on Network and then a 5, on everything else there's no X and there's some 0...So i guess this means is still locked? But as I told you the phone worked great with another sim...

PLEASE HELP I NEED TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER, INSTALL CYANOGENMOD IS MY DREAM.... :crying: :p

THANKS PEOPLE!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mnashfaq:
I can show you the path to your dream! :P

You dont have to unlock bootloader to install Cyanogenmod.. there is a workaround to install Cyanogenmod 10 on Xperia S without unlocking bootloader! :D check this link and follow the steps.. its pretty simple.. :) good luck! :fingers-crossed:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/locked-bootloader-xperia-s-and-want-cm10-no-problem/

Hit the thanks button if I helped..! :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] angelpuyol:
Thanks!

It's Awesome! I've already flash it! :D :) It's there a way that this could lead to CM 11 to locked bootloaders? Or at least 10.2 10.1?

THANKS!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mnashfaq:
Nope, I don't thinks so.. they havent got a workaround to install CM11 for locked bootloaders yet.. (CM11 still has bugs) :/ wait with patience.. it might come up soon! :fingers-crossed: :p

Hit the thanks button if I helped..! :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] angelpuyol:
;)

Is any dev already working on this? Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mnashfaq:
Sorry bro, :( bad luck for you.. You cant get CM11 on locked bootloader.. because the latest version of android for SXS is 4.1.2 and has a kernel for 4.1.2, that's why CM10 worked.. because the kernel is supported.. if you need 4.4 KitKat.. you need to have 4.4 kernel.. since you cant get 4.4 kernel with locked bootloader.. its kinda impossible for you to get KitKat.. lets hope someone finds a workaround for that if its possible.. :fingers-crossed:

btw, CM10 is pretty awesome.. smooth and good on the battery and has no actual bugs except for a very very rare freeze on the recent apps screen.. a bug that you probably wont come across.. :p

Good Luck..! :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] angelpuyol:
:(

Sorry to heard that... Anyway, I think I should be able to unlock my bootloader, I mean I have the SimLock code, but as I told you before I'm having problems... Any idea how can I unlock it?

PD: So CM 10.1 or 10.2 should be able to run on locked bootloaders?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mnashfaq:
If it's not a problem, try this.. I'm not sure if it will work.. But it's worth a shot if you want bootloader unlocked so badly.. ;)

Use Emma flash tool from Sony..

Flash the latest 4.1.2 stock ROM (world)..

(when you select the rom to flash, Check if there is a file called simlock.ta on the right side, if it's there.. Uncheck it and then flash)

After flashing the clean rom.. Check again in the service menu if bootloader unlock is allowed..

If not use your friend's sim again and check if they ask for sim lock code.. :)

Hope It works..

Good luck.. :)

P. S. Yes if they release cm 10.1 or 10.2 for locked bootloader.. You can install.. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] angelpuyol:
YEAH.

I'll definitely try it soon... Hey btw do you know how to get colored emoji on CM 10? Like the Iphone ones? I know perfectly how to input them, but I havent figure out how to view them, I mean, seriously, the black and white emoji are awful...

Thanks dude!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mnashfaq:
Not exactly sure, but try this.. :) install the codec in the first link.. and then download the keyboard in the second link to type those emoji..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kl.emjdec

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kl.ime.oh

:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] angelpuyol:
:(

Didn't work... The first one is just an app where you copy and paste black and white emoji in to it and then it shows it colored... but whitin the app...

Any other idea??

Thanks anyway!

:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mnashfaq:
Oh, sorry bout that, my bad.. :/ did some research on it and no luck.. it seems that you can't get colored emoticons on android unless we get official 4.4, or some dev has to port it from 4.4.. :/ if we need colored emoji we have to modify system fonts for emoji, and its too much of advanced work.. hope someone ports it for 4.1.2 cuz I don't think Xperia S will get any new update.. :(

:fingers-crossed: let's hope someone ports it for us.. :D ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] angelpuyol:
:D

Let's hope so, thanks for all your help in this post you're the best :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mnashfaq:
No problem dude, glad to help.. :D good luck with unlocking your bootloader :fingers-crossed: :) :good:
