[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tcoursey:
I have been a user of Cyanogenmod on my Verizon Galaxy S3 for a while now. I'm what most would call a newbie as far as android tech flash custom rom stuff. But I can get around...

My question is I just flashed Beanstalk and everything seems good so far. Loveing 4.4 (why I switched from Cyanogenmod) I get an OTA notification about a new version of Beanstalk but the numbers don't seem to be NEWER.

Current Beanstalk: 4.4.215-20140117-d2vzw

Update Version: 4.3.1009-20131016-d2vzw

Doesn't make sense to me, is there something wrong with the OTA app, or are they falling back to a previous version for some reason...anyone with info or help. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] calexs74:
I noticed the same thing. I believe the OTA updater may be broken or not updated. You have the latest build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheObituary:
I get the same thing here

Been getting this since installing beanstalk that included the beanstalk OTA app....love the idea of it but it looks like the OTA app is broken or beanstalk is reporting itself as the wrong version.

I am running the most current 4.4.285 i believe but yet i get update notifications that new versions are available.

The "new" versions message i get is:

2 updates available for download

Beanstalk-4.3.1015-20131227-d2att.zip

Beanstalk-4.3.1009-20131015-d2att.zip

anyone figure this out as i am getting these older versions but not an actual new versions (and newer did exist while getting this message)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
When I was using beanstalk it was the same issue it would warn me of a lower version update. I don't know why it seems like to do that but just ignore it

xperia z1 has 441 pixel density, but the display look similar to other lower pixel density phone like xperia sola. why?can someone explain? z1 shown on sony centre booth for hands on has a very crisp display, am i being cheated?
[Xperia Z1 General] ilia1985:
Well my friend its share you got this phone if can't tell the difference... How sharp the screen looks depends on the image it shows.... Also you can open any Internet browser on both z1 And sola As you mention, then open any web page with text And zoom in all the way if you still can't see the difference Then you need to get glasses or Have your eyes checked... Peace :)
[Xperia Z1 General] olokos:
Well higher resolution means that you will see worse display from low quality material and epic quality from full HD material. DVD rips looked fine on my Xperia Play (480x854) and on XZ1 they don't look good.

If you have a big TV or monitor above 23" you surely will know what I'm talking about.

Websites, UI and stuff like this look perfectly fine. It's up to the resolution how does it look on the screen.

I kinda noticed "grainyness" with the display when viewing videos. Really didn't like it at all, and it looked bad compared to the Xperia S I had been using a week prior.

Well, I found that while the X-Reality setting made colours "pop" in videos and pictures, things seemed to get kinda grainy looking. I've been running with it off for a few days now, and I reckon it looks much clearer now. Plus, vids and pics don't look like they have been artificially tweaked with.
[Xperia Z1 General] mm79k:
This is the worst 1080p screen I have ever seen in a mobile phone.

Phone is owesome, but the screen!!!
[Xperia Z1 General] ashouhdy:
don have any problems with the display ! its super sharp and to notice the diff. u need to view a full HD image any low quality pic will look worse as the display will DISPLAY more of it :) hope u got what i mean.

Another test open any PDf .. on 1080p displays you will read the texts much easier but on low ppi u will need to zoom in alittle to make it clear.
[Xperia Z1 General] shook187:
I have to agree, this screen sucks compared to any other 1080p screen. But I have to admit there are moments when the screen makes me say wow that looks amazing but unfortunately the Sun moon and stars have to line up correctly for me to say that

LOL! so is not that bad..:laugh:
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
Sola is 3.7 inches and has a ppi of 265.

300 dpi is the norm when printing beyond which telling the difference gets harder.

you're about 40 ppi away from being able to tell the difference. The difference will not be that significant but if you look carefully it will be there. Which to you means the display looks similar. Had the sola screen been bigger and the ppi around 200 then the difference would have been more prominent when compared to Z1.

Very, very happy with the screen here, nice and bright, sharp, lovely colours, especially when coming from an amoled. Even the viewing angles are not quite as bad as some complain and through my eyes, the white looks white.
[Xperia Z1 General] taranfx:
Other than white, everything else looked great on AMOLED. Coming from Note.

Even when Compared to Nexus 5 LCD, Z1 display lacks lusture. Nexus 5 and other 1080p display phones have amazing contrast and colors.
[Xperia Z1 General] Written:
Come from a note too, honestly enjoyed Amoled, however, I am really not sure where the complaints are coming from.

There's some threads claiming not all the screens are the same, I'm either viewing my display from tired eyes or I got lucky, no idea.

Put it this way, side by side with my wife's note 3, the only thing I'm jealous about is the IR blaster.
[Xperia Z1 General] Hate Android Lag:
well, on the same vintage theme(stock theme), i noticed that the theme looks sharper & crispier in the z1 at sony booth. in my z1, the vintage theme doesnt looks sharp & crisp, just normal.
[Xperia Z1 General] transitcheck:
I checked other phones including G2, Note 3, S4. Z1 has no match. But I hear Sony uses different brands of displays for the variants of its phones. If it's true, different users from different areas around the world will have different results. I watched full hd movies, pictures, photos from z1. The results are significantly better than other high end phones. But do not expect hight quality resolution from low quality media. You can't have it. That's why SD broadcast sucks at full hd screens. I even witnessed 4K television showed a full hd video in very low qualty.

as the title says,need to send it back as it is having volume problems,it keeps turning itslef up.i have done a factory reset etc etc but its still the same,,,,whats the best tool now to return it completely to how it was when i got it with no trace of roms or twrp

thankyou
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
What I would do is use kindle fire first aid to restore it to stock, then manually unroot it by first deleting the superuser apk from the system partition, then deleting the su binary. Seem's like the updates from their site used to be flash able from twrp if you changed the extension, you could always let it ota or manually update it after using kffa to restore it, that would also take care of root.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bro1:
thnks for the info stunts :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bro1:
right i used kffa to restore then manually updated it with a higher version than it was,then i let it update over the air so now its on the latest amazon software,,,,,will i be good to send of to amazon now.just making sure

thankyou
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
It should be ready now, once a stock ota image updates the kindle it basically wipes all changes you made from the system partition.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tblade2:
Long story short: Is there a way to network unlock the M7 from Cincinnati Bell (SIM network unlock) for other carriers?

Background and current state:

Been a while since my last HTC which was the sensation.

I picked up an M7 recently that turns out was carrier locked to Cincinnati Bell. Nice phone at least.

Did the bootloader, root, s-off, and set the cid to 11111111 this last step here used to sim unlock the phone from what I recall.

Evidently, things have changed somewhat and this is no longer true

Replaced the Cincinnati Bell sim card with an at&t one and I get the SIM Network Unlock PIN message with the keypad - blah

Have spent a couple hrs looking around on xda and google but nothing interesting comes up that might work.

I've reset the cid and flashed the OEM firmware (luckily I made a backup) just in case they're needed. Its on 4.3 if that matters

now where's that icon for the life preserver... :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
SuperCid doesn't simunlock. All you need is the unlocked pin you have benn prompted to enter.

2 options to get this code:

call carrier and ask from simunlock code (you will need to provide IMEI #) normally this is free if the carrier accept to give you the code

use a internet unlocking site and provide imei. they will send you an e-mail with the unlock code. Cost between 10-20$ US
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tblade2:
thanks, it is beginnnig to look like that is the case.

the cost is really not the issue...

not many years ago, this was one of the main reasons to hack phones. now the focus seems more around cooking up a rom or updating the internals. interesting how things change. maybe manufacturers are getting smarter :)

wonder why this is not interesting to work on...

anyway, I'll pick it up off fleabay - thanks for the input
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
imo manufacturers aren't getting smarter. They only are doing this under carriers pressure.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Wiltron:
I have an Xperia ZL that was reported as stolen by someone (who I don't know, but I bought it from a store and have receipts). Rogers refuses to un-blacklist the IMEI from their system, even though I've sent them scanned copies of the receipts to the now out of business store in Toronto. It's pointless now because I bought a Z1 from the Sony store a few weeks ago.

I now have a ZL, it is factory carrier-unlocked, that is on the latest software (4.3). It has a carrier locked bootloader and isn't rooted. What can I do with this device?

Some notes:

I have WiFi and Bluetooth, however it wont connect to any Canadian network. I have tried with Bell, Rogers and Telus.

Since there's no cellular connectivity, it's useless as a reliable GPS. I also have an in-dash GPS with a 12" screen :)

I drive a 2 seater and don't have kids, so it's useless to be a mini-tablet device, or in-car media player.

I have no qualms with trying to unlock the BL if possible, rooting, or flashing stuff, so long as there's decent documentation on it.

Post your thoughts and cool things to do!
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Donate to some developer who could be convinced to code for the ZL? (no idea... sorry that it was locked and isn't usable to you...)

Could use it as a 5" tablet... but you have a better device in your other phone... no clue.
[Sony Xperia ZL] daniLaLaLaLaLa:

[Sony Xperia ZL] Boosted_01 R:
What was the store ? Probably was stolen from a shipping warehouse, happens a lot. Call Sony and see what they can do for you... If its locked in Canada, its should work in the USA....
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
I'd be tempted to try and dev... but not with my primary driver... hmmm....

Is the boot loader unlockable?
[Sony Xperia ZL] pm2gonzales:
If you could find a way to generate a generic IMEI it should work again. I did something similar with my Samsung Captivate Glide to unlock it. It was somewhere in /efs/, but Sony uses a different storage scheme for such important files so I'm not sure where you could find it. You should obviously back it up though if you do find it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] serious96:
Maybe you can send the phone to FXP team or OMNI team, so they have a phone for bug testing, :good:

Gotta loooove Rogers!! I'm surprised it doesn't work with another carrier?? So its obvious than that these companies share information. I think this says it all...

Dual SIM Dual Active

I've been looking at getting this phone as well. Is it truly Dual Active with the 2 SIMs? My work SIM is AT&T with no mobile network while my personal SIM is T-Mobile with LTE (I know this phone connects to 3g not LTE) I want to be able to use my personal mobile network all the time while using the voice & msg of my work line. Why I want Dual Active not Dual Standby.

Thanks
[Lenovo Vibe Z Questions & Answers] ben63vw:
I just got mine yesterday and have the same situation with work (at&t no data) & personal (t-mobile w/LTE). Yes it's a true DUAL ACTIVE sim phone!!!! :good: It was already rooted and mostly set to english when I got it. Had to reroot it some apps would say it was rooted others say it wasn't... no biggie. I now have is that in the Dual Card Settings in system settings I set my personal sim (in slot 1 with 3G/H+) for data connection & work sim (in slot 2 with the slower connecton) for voice call & message. The calls all are made on the work sim & I get mobile network on my personal sim. I don't like the stock message app and am used to installing GO sms pro then removing stock app. However it seems the stock msg app is imbedded in the phone app (not a big deal) but I haven't been able to get GO sms pro into dual sim mode that at some point it had but even when I install the older ver that's supposed to have it I don't see the option. And without that enabled it defaults to send msg via sim in slot 1 even when in the system setting I have it set to sim 2. :( Also I'm getting double incomming msgs. :confused: However I still like the phone so far even with the msging issues. I also got a Nillkin case & anti-glare screen protector.

Hope this helps and if anyone knows any settings I'm missing or a better msg app that supports dual sim that wouls be great.

K910 supporting ANT+!

Hello, I've just received my Vibe z K910 WCDMA dualsim. Czech reseller claims it's LTE enabled, which I cannotsettings. m except that in service menu there's such option, but none in normal wireless settings. The LTE coverage in Prague is poor, so I'll see later.

But what I can definitely confirm is working is the ANT+ native support, working both in ANT demo and Endomondo(after installing even the ANT USB service, which is apparently useless in such case but Endomondo required it)

I've had mine for about a month and I'm really liking it. At first i hated it because of the UI and some weird quirks, but after getting them ironed out it's fine.

Shut off the stock texting app, browser and contacts/dialer and replaced them with 3rd party stuff. Also I had an issue with texts coming back to me under a second thread with just the number, no contact name. Very frustrating.

The trick is to put the contacts tel number in contacts in the proper format for Canada it would be +1xxxxxxxxxx

That fixed all the issues.

Great value phone.
