Dude. The aftermarket dock is better than stock and costs 10 bucks on ebay shipping included. Buy that. Best tutorial.
[Sony Xperia ZR] usbfreak:
Hi, here's my version of a diy dock

Things needed,

1. Styrofoam /thermocol block

2. Kekda charger (that's what it's called in Mumbai)/ universal battery charger

3. USB cable

4. Sharp knife

5. Screw driver with a 4inch + shaft.

6. Heat.

Get hold of a Styrofoam /thermocol block cut to desired shape so as to fit your ZR and outer body. A 1 inch thickness on all walls is recommended.

Take the universal battery charger and remove the battery holder part having springness in it.

Take the screw driver and heat it and then cave in a slot for the Kekda charger in the back of the Styrofoam block by slowly melting ( Styrofoam shrinks in the presence of heat), else use a heated solder gun to cave in a slot.

Cut one end of USB to expose wires and solder on the Kekda charger part.

Red wire + on top of the charging pin and black - on lower.

After soldering press in the Kekda charger and adjust the pins accordingly.

Done.

My second diy dock. Better than the first first one :)

The circuit board is just to attach a mini usb female on a sturdy thing using fevikwik ( a super fast instant adhesive glue.) The pins used are of a old nokia phone where yhe battery is inserted in the phone.

Total cost in INR,

Nokia pins : 10

Circuit board : free from scrap

Mini usb female: 20

Body : free .

Total 30 . I.e. 1/2 a $ :cool:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kognos:
I have an LG-G2 D80010o with stock rom and rooted with loki 1.9

I successfully installed TWRP 2.6.3.3 using FreeGee and is working ok.

It reboots to OS perfectly. And enters into TWRP Recovery Menu when pressing the keys combination.

The thing is, when I'm in Recovery Menu and press Reboot/System button, it will reboots ok, showing LG logo and then ATT logo, but after that it will enter in a Password Screen that I do not recognize because don't have my device protected with a password.

If I press the power button it shows me a simple menu over the screen with the options for "power-off" and "reboot", so, if I press "reboot" or "power-of" (and then turn it on again) it will boot perfectly into my stock OS.

I'm asking this because I think if I press Reboot/System on TWRP Menu it will have to reboot into stock OS but in fact it is booting into "another OS" asking me for a password.

Can some one tell me if it is a normal behavior or do I have a problem?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmiLey497:
Happened to me once when I rebooted from TWRP after flashing the EFS backup zip. I was using the modified TWRP though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kognos:
You are right, SmiLey497 !

I did it again and this time it worked.

May be it was just the first time after TWRP installation, as you say.

So thanks for your comment.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterowl:
Okay so I tried to flash cyanogenmod 11 for the first time on this moto G (US). It bootlooped and I tired to reflash it again and it did the same. There was no way of returning to stock because I had not made a backup. So I tried to flash stock in the bootloader and that didn't work. I went into the recovery and it said 'cant mount /sdcard. So go back into the bootloader and format the sdcard and that doesn't work (which I returned to the recovery to see it not working). I go back and flash twrp thinking that recovery would have something to help me flash a new rom and now I don't even have a working recovery. It takes me straight back to the bootloader and every time I flash a recovery it says Mismatched partition size (recovery) and I am unable to boot into it.

I have no clue on what to do at this point and I need help.

Twrp_MotoG_signed_010814_163615.zip

Download vocoderisms TWRP build, extract "recovery.img" from it.

After you have kitkat installed and working:

Option 1, use TWRP without install:

Boot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader), boot twrp (fastboot boot recovery.img) and install rom from there.

Option 2, install TWRP (have not tested):

Upload twrp zip to phone (adb push Twrp_MotoG_signed_010814_163615.zip /sdcard/), boot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader), boot twrp (fastboot boot recovery.img), install Twrp_MotoG_signed_010814_163615.zip.

It's awesome bro :thumbup: I was using Niaboc's port but now I love this.

You've changed the clock font. Looks cool! And it's great that I can also open a 3rd party app by tapping on it.

The notification panel in Niaboc's version didn't have any control while dropping down. And you've fixed it :beer:

There's one problem that still exists in your version. Small apps get reset after every reboot. Hope you'd look into that :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
And one more thing. It'd be great if you could make the toggles appear by swiping right.. It's quite annoying to reach the top right corner everytime :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rockernaxo:
I'll probably update this to match z1 taskswithcher, so that won't happen any more.

Next step should be swipe Tab N Grid, like in ICS.

Have a look over at http://www.pocketinformant.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=8904&st=0 for the latest (Release Candidate) of Pocket Informant.

Its well worth installing as it has a much smaller memory footprint (see the discusion in the forum above), and seems a lot faster to me. Also if you can find any bugs, make sure you post them into the forum.... I found one yesturday, and its been fixed already.

The guys at Web IS seem to have done a great job (and no, I'm not linked to them in any way.... its just that their product makes the PDA calendar features usable!!!)

Regards

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] page3:
Oh !£@!@!&&! Installed this and now my right soft-key won't bring up the internal (default) contact program (which is so much better than the one in pocketinformant). Anyone know how to change it back? I managed it before but no amount of registry changing seems to work now :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BudgieUK:
I'm not an expert on this, but one suggestion I would make is that you tap on the PI icon on the bottom of the screen (the red dot surrounded by a multicolour ring) and de-select "Make Default PIM" ... this then makes all the MSFT links work with the MSFT apps rather than PI... hope this helps

P :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Ineedtoys:
This is one of the beefs I (and several others) have with PI, and AF for that matter, which seem to fall on deaf ears in their cosy cartel. Why won't they let the user choose which modules they want to use, instead of their software taking over the whole machine?

If you installed a non-MS planner on your Desktop PC, you wouldn't stand for it replacing all your other PIM apps too. So why should you on the PocketPC?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
There is a page in the wiki that shows the registry settings for the soft keys, but I found this method unreliable. I managed to change the text but the app remained at the default setting.

The way I did it was to download Buzz's SoftKeyAppletEx, which goes into your control panel [you do need to register to download the file].

Description:

This is a replacement applet for the SoftKeyApplet.cpl. I called it SoftKeyAppletEx.cpl (to be original) ;)

This applet does exactly the same thing, but with more features

1. you can browse your ppc to get the desired application or link dedicated to the soft key.
2. you can change the name shown on the soft key.
3. you can place the applet icon on the settings tab you want (personal, system, connections).
4. you can specify only one soft key (left or right) or both
5. you can reset to defaults, so I think it's the phone and the calendar
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] page3:
That's really useful stuff - thanks!

As others have said, I want to use PI for my Diary but the built-in contacts application - which is far better for quick dialling etc.

I still have a problem though - PI seems to have replaced my /Windows/poutlook.lnk file with its own, so if I make the right soft-button point to this file it still runs PI. Can anyone send me their default contacts.lnk file (and possibly poutlook.exe too?) or tell me how to make a new link to the default contacts application (which I assume must still be in ROM?)

Thanks all. Love PI but this hijacking on my contacts is really annoying!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jlczl:
Where'd you put the file? What control panel are u taliking about? Help is appreciated.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tgkemp:
I tried this and I can report some success. I use PocketBreeze on the Today screen which is tightly linked to PI. Nothing I say here is relevant if you don't use PocketBreeze.

Now, with PI the non-default PIM, my PocketBreeze links take me to PI's calendar, tasks and contacts applications. My hardware contacts button and the contacts soft key in the phone now take me to Pocket Outlook's contacts app.

Couple of caveats: PI does seem to revert to being the default PIM after a soft reset. Also, the 'special days' feature in PB (lists upcoming birthdays and anniversaries) seems to grow duplicate entries over time, but these can be cleared with a soft reset. It's never worked properly for me anyway so could be unrelated.

I have yet to see any problems syncing. I do expect it to work OK as I believe that PO and PI run off the same database.

Hope this helps those with PB and PI.

Lovely program, but the last few versions hae been a complete dog speed wise.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] itoma:
I agree. Rev 4 was often very slooowww, although I had installed it in RAM. But this new version is different. The footprint is much smaller in WM5.

But although I have installed the new version entirely on the storage card, it is MUCH FASTER now!

I found some other improvements too, like the timeline now shows you total hours for your different projects, and there is a real fullscreen option now.

Didn't find any bugs so far, but I just downloaded it two days ago.

Cheers and thanks to this great forum! I have benefitted a lot already from the tips and tricks posted here :D

Hello everybody,

Yesterday I had a new issure with my i9500. The green led stays always on, even if the phone is turned off, the only way to disable it is pulling out the battery. Now, I know I have a faulty battery, I was at a Samsung Service Center and they ordered a new on for me under warranty, which should arrive in the next few days.

Do you think it is possible that the battery is causing it?

thank you very much!

Hi all,

I have just noticed a hair-fracture in main body frame near charging socket. It's appear to be all the way across from charging socket to from where screen starts. In start I thought its a scratch but it bothered me recently n after close examination its appear to be a fracture. As far as I know I never dropped the phone. Despite this phone works perfectly.

Just wondering this is covered under standard warranty or its comes under wear n tear, in that case how costly would be repair, is there someone else experienced the same ?

I really disappointed with the make quality of samsung :s. I would appreciate if someone share something how to proceed?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
As its a fracture ask Samsung .

But my guess is they will say its damaged .

They all say they did not drop it .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~DemonLord~:
Dude... its the point where two parts of the frame are joined!

Check all the 4 corners and you will notice thinner "fractures" One on the charging port is widest of them all. Everyone has them, no need to worry.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rauppal:
Those 4 corners of housing as you said have a regular joining marks but I got a irregular crack in housing. It seems like a fracture on one side of usb socket to all the way up to screen. Is this normal or I m just the unlucky one :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~DemonLord~:
As i said 4 joint marks on the corners. One thicker fracture on the left side from the middle of the port. And yes its more visible and goes up to the screen.

Yes its cracked.

If you try to search on Google you see its a common problem.

Make sure you have done proper download and zip file is not corrupt. Verify the MD5 checksum. Also try flashing stock, then a kernel(if on unlocked bootloader or else get root and recovery) and then try flashing ROMs with correct wipes ;)
