No. No offence, but it was your fault that you fell down, not Sony's, sorry. Did it affect the phone in any other way except the look of it?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravi_buz:
I know its my fault :D. I am just asking because when they initially marketed this phone with glass back and aluminium sides, they said they will cover all physical warranty for 6 months and other things for 1 years. Wanted to know if its covered or not
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiyeon90:
I'm pretty sure warranty doesn't cover that, however they can fix that if you pay for the reparation
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djcoolguyno1:
they will deny under physical warranty saying damage is too small
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
No, NO; nO, no warranty for you. :D

When getting a waterdamage, they will say that the flaps weren't closed and you will argue that they were closed, basically they will try to first blame it on your recklessness.

Accidental Damage Cover in India

If i'm not wrong there is accidental damage cover for 6 months in India. The T&C can be found here: http://www.sony.co.in/productcontent/570382/productcategory/mob-phone
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pheel:
In Australia, no form of physical damage is covered by warranty.

Warranty only covers things where the manufacturer is at fault, and clearly you are at fault not Sony.

Also, that scratch is ... not really noticeable haha, i had a million of those on my (now dead) Z1.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
No warranty is only for things that go wrong with your phone that were caused by a manufacturing fault. Ie: touchscreen issues. Dropping the phone, sitting on it or feeding it to your dog would be your fault. That being said if your phone does develop a fault they will more than likely fix the phone anyway, software related issues will be fixed and sent back, simple issues with hardware will also be fixed and the same phone sent back. But if its not cost effective then they'll just swap it for another one. Don't do anything silly though as its always down to them at the end of the day.

Hi, i'm using poweramp on Android 4.4.2, with the new lockscreen mod.

But i have a problem, my mp3 covers are zoomed and pixelated, even if my covers are 1600 x 1600 (I'm using a Galaxy S3, so the screen resolution is 720x1280).

Anybody know how to fix this problem ? Thanks in advance :laugh:

I recently picked up an s3 and rooted it. Im currently running Cyanfox; I was able to install a custom boot animation using Rom Toolbox but now I'm trying to figure out how to put music while it boots. I'm not sure if the phone is able to play music while it boots but I remember before I flashed it, the at&t boot screen would play their jingle. If anyone can tell if its possible to have custom music, what format it needs to be in, and what folder. It would be greatly appreciated!

Just a quick question before I try, can anyone tell me if its safe to restore my 4.1.2 backup thru TWRP while I'm on currently on 4.3?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You can restore Titanium Backups. But restoring backups of System apps will not work.

I am wondering whether push email is functioning through wifi on the prophet? I have wifi coverage over my city, and would prefer it then getting billed for GPRS...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Lucas0511:
Push Email client from Microsoft will not work over WiFi, it is meant to generate business for mobile providers :-)

But Siemens and other mail server solutions companies offer push email over WiFi for WiFi Providers - but I think no one is offering it yet.

Note: Be carefull with push email over GRPS. Depending on individual settings this can generate a lot of traffic without downloading a single email. One engineer told me about 15 megs traffic just for polling the Exchange server, without downloading a single email. Of course you can work out conservative settings, but better get a GPRS or UMTS data flat...25 euros here in Germany (www.base.de) :-)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Anks:
Are you 100% sure of this?

Microsoft's implimentation of Push e-mail uses HTTP(S) so therefore should not be limited to the transport unless the implimentation is restricted on the device in some way?

All the information I have totally contradicts your statement, can you please justify it can as I fear it is absolutely incorrect.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Lucas0511:
Dear, I don´t have to "justify" anything. Do your own research, ask Microsoft MSDN like I did, and then write about it. Enjoy.

PS: The original question was - as I understood it: Can MS push email client for Mobile 5 work over WiFi.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] bombomtr:
Why you do not use POP3/SMTP or IMAP through WiFi ?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] krale:
Thanks guys

Thanks Lucas, I think that pretty much answers my question.

Cheers.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] jamichy:
You can setup a schedule like i did in activesync to poll email over wifi every 5 min and disable push.

If you want to use gprs, then just change schedule to sync as new items arrive and enable push in comm manager
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] krale:
What happens when out of wifi range?

Jamichy, what happens if you go out of wifi range with your settings? Do you get an error message or something you then need to respond to each time you are out of range?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] jamichy:
Usually, activesync will try to sync, but does not generate any notifications. If I launch activesync, it shows me the time of last sync with exchange server on top line.

If i leave push settings on, and connect to wlan, Activesync Generates an "Attention Required:To syncronise you need to have a cellular network connection" message...

So when I'm at home or work, i disable push, and on the road i keep push enabled. BTW, Direct push can work using both GPRS web and wap settings

[Verizon Droid Charge] judson75:
Hey Folks, This is my first post here on xda. I have a Verizon Droid Charge and since I have finally gotten a new phone I have been tinkering around on this guy. Having a lot of fun and reading a ton. I have loaded a custom recovery (cwm) and a custom ROM (tweaked lite 1.0). Still can't figure out if I have unlocked the bootloader (not even sure what that is, to be honest).

So here is my question, I let my phone battery go completely to zero. That seems to have tripped something, because since this happened I have not been able to get wifi. When I attempt to turn on wifi I get 'Unable to scan networks'. I read a few other posts (not for the DC) and there was talk of deleting the data/local and data/misc directories. Here is an example thread which happens to be in the Rezound forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1519237. I have attempted to do the same thing on my DC through Terminal Emulator in SU mode. The /local and /misc directories are not within /data they are on the same level. I deleted them anyways with no luck. I also read in another post to delete the file in data/wifi/ which I tried. All of this was of course interspersed with wipe/factory resets and reboots. The phone is not active so I have no mobile data, thus my options for loading helpful apps are pretty limited.

Thanks for any help, let me know if you need more info.

Call me impatient, but after trying all the stuff listed above I decided to pull the trigger on my last resort, full stock reinstall. Did the trick!! Case closed I guess.
[HTC Sensation] shahverdy:
Hey Everyone

I have an HTC Sensation, HBOOT 1.27.0000 with 3.32 ICS Firmware, sim unlocked. I have decided to upgrade it to Kitkat, I'm noobe, So I'm just searching to gather information by now. I think I must install CyanogenMod 11.

I think the progress should be:

Unlock bootloader (using fastboot)

Get root access

S-OFF (Using Juopunutbear S-OFF for HBOOT 1.27.0000)

Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache (I don't have enough information about this step, that what will happen after this step)

Flashing Rom (Which will be CyanogenMod 11)

Flashing GAPPS (which will be an extra step, but I will do it)

I need to know that what are the possible risks, and how can I prevent them. will I loose SIM unlock? (Here in XDA, many people said no, but a few people mentioned that it can be possible. So which one is true?) How can I backup SIM unlock? How can I backup current Rom on my phone and be able to restore that backup.

Any kind of help will be appreciated :)
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
After s-off you need to flash custom recovery and do backup form your stock rom

sent from HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] stillsober:
make sure you don't have HTC sync or something like that on your pc when trying to s-off, best to not even have HTC driver at all - use "universal android driver".

It's how I ruined my sd card. Also, make sure you back up ALL your sdcard content because you can lose it during s-off (I did). If you get past s-off without a hitch, then everything else will be easy. Do note that 4.4 ROMS are still buggy relative to the older ones
[HTC Sensation] shahverdy:
What about SIM unlock, how can I back it up? Currently I've made a backup of my ROM with "clockworkmod" using and app named "Rom Manager".
[HTC Sensation] stillsober:
I don't know what sim unlock is sorry. If it's a physical unlock, then s-off or a ROM change won't change it. If it's something within your ROM like an app then changing your ROM will remove it, you have to get it again, but as I said I don't know what a sim unlock is (google something like "sim unlock, rom" - if its not removed when you change roms then it won't be removed in this scenario)

You should use 4ext recovery or twrp recovery instead of clockworkmod, they both can do more and go wrong less often.

Once in 4ext recovery, do a backup (this is called a nandroid backup),

copy that backup from your sd card and whatever else to somewhere else safe (you can lose the data in your card during s-off) as long as you have that nandroid you can always return your phone to the state it's in when the backup took place.
[HTC Sensation] shahverdy:
Thank you.

So, If I mess everything and my phone isn't booting/loading, then I can always go into recovery mode using "fastboot"?
[HTC Sensation] stillsober:
Well, i lost my recovery when i tried to s-off this last sensation. BUT as long as you can get into fastboot/hboot (the white screen when you press power+volume down) you can flash recovery.img from your computer there, so you will always be able to get into recovery

Even if you can't get to fastboot using power+volume down for whatever reason, you may still be able to get to fastboot if you can get adb or fastboot command(s) respond from command prompt (this is what happened to me, can't get to fastboot using volume+power, but can send adb commands from computer)

you should be ok, just make sure ASK IF YOU'RE UNSURE, DON'T JUST ASSUME THINGS THAT YOU'RE REALLY NOT SURE OF, ESPECIALLY REGARDING S-OFF METHOD/SDCARD, it's how I bricked my sdcard(well lost data)
[HTC Sensation] shahverdy:
Thanks.

So, I think my biggest concern must be loosing SIM Unlock. SIM unlock process is not supported in my country :( because we can not pay, so I can't have the unlock code.
[HTC Sensation] nlooooo:
If you do s-off you can try with this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
[HTC Sensation] shahverdy:
Thank you, but it is now unlocked, I want to keep it unlocked, even after flashing ROMs. I just don't want to risk.
[HTC Sensation] nlooooo:
Flashing roms has nothing to do with SIM lock.
[HTC Sensation] rasor99:
S-Off not necessary to flash CM 11

Getting S-Off is not really required if you're just looking at flashing ROM's. I've been using my phone with S-On since more than a year and no problem in flashing any ROM yet. You just need to flash 4ext recovery and enable smart flash. Just follow this awesome guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631861

And you may go for S-Off after you get to know more about your phone...
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
Just my input here but you cannot lose sim unlock pal :) it's a hardware lock that once removed cannot be undone :)
[HTC Sensation] Milton515:
From my experience, once you SIM unlock you won't lose it after you s-off, root, and flash... But as everybody has said, make sure you backup just in case you need to go back or do something wrong
[HTC Sensation] shahverdy:
Thanks everyone. Finally, with your helps, I flashed Cyanogenmod 11 on my HTC Sensation, and all the progress went well, without loosing anything important! But, After a few hours of testing, I found some problems, that made me go back to official Rom. I think I'd better write a review about it for other people too.

I can not figure out how to upgrade to kit kit on my blu studio 5.5. I'm rooted already. Any help would be great thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] kvasir119:
Today I read on some post found on a g+ page that the studio, and some other Blu lines, are getting kitkat on May 1st, 2014. No ROMs anywhere around that I can find for this device, just sites that are scam sites trying to infect you. Was hoping CyanogenMod, aokp, or paranoid android would have a ROM available, but nope.
[General Questions and Answers] k2trf:
I'm actually trying to build my own ROM for the Blu Studio 5.0S (my family all have the same phone now, and I previously had us on Concur One, but there's so much bloatware in there that isn't neccessary it's absurd -- these things have 1GB of RAM, and yet we have less than 1/3 of that to work with once the phone has been running for a few hours, not to mention that they dressed it up as 4.3.1 when it isn't..).

I've actually tried assembling 4.3.1_r1 manually from AOSP and loading the drivers in -- it causes a bootloop. As far as I can tell, nothing beyond 4.1.2 works on these devices thusfar (though I'd love to be proven wrong); all the ROMs that look like they're 4.2 or 4.3 aren't; they just edited the build.prop and other values so it reported being 4.3.1, and looked like it, but wasn't actually. Bit annoying actually.

I've not tried KitKat yet, as I can't seem to build it in any form, and I don't much like the idea of porting another ROM; I'd honestly rather maintain my own for my family based off the Karbonn S5 Stock ROM.

If Karbonn/BLU does come out with a KitKat stock though, I'd love to know that, and I'll likely be watching for it & will share it if I come across something working, would be awesome to build off that instead for my ROM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OstrichSak:
I was able to get my Google account sync'd and Gapps installed. Now the issue I'm having is installing some apps on Bluestacks. For instance the 'Call of Duty' app says that it's not compatible with my device. When I go to the Play store from a browser it shows that the 'device' is being listed as a T-Mobile Samsung GT-I9100 which isn't compatible. So do I need to change the device type within Bluestacks to get it to allow these sorts of apps to be installed and if I do this will it make some things unstable? Is there another way that I can install this? I assume I can locate an APK and load it that way but there was an update yesterday and I'm not able to find the most recent version (1.1.300) of that app. The ideal solution would be to install from the store to make updates cleaner.

Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bulldog212:
Now that I've got my ZUGPe my Note is going into semi retirement as mp3 player / cycling gps / htpc remote and I don't care so much about features and customizing as I do about stabiltiy now. I have dealt with varying degrees of instability with many many CM and AOKP variations to stay on Vanilla-ish Android. I really really really hate Touchwiz, but do I have to go back to Touchwiz to get something really stable? I'll cut you off and say maybe my phone just never agreed with CM or AOKP so even if yours is stable mine never quite got there, never more than 2-3 days without a RR or lockup, and usually several RR each day. My old Incredible on CM goes nearly a month before an issue creeps up but to be fair it doesn't get a ton of use. Neither will the Note so I just want something solid and dependable, rather than cutting-edge. Thanks for tossing your opinions at me!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
You seem to be very aware that this a loaded question and knowledgable to the fact that what runs good on one, may not on another, so I will respond to this.

I am in the same boat as you and do still enjoy the Note, even though semi- retiring it.

At the moment I am swapping back and forth on 2 roms to determine which I like best. They are older roms and never had a hiccup from neither.

Rootbox and Sons of Android.

I am having trouble however. I like them both.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SgtTeabag:
Hmmmmmm I never tried sons of android gotta try that. If ya want my opinion every i717 runs different. I've had good stable experience s with padawan, black star, and aokp 4.4 . There rock solid and the forums for them are very helpful. Now going to find sons of android lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
its PT's also
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] i717:
Carbonrom V 1.8

I too am not happy with touchwiz roms. And seemed always returning to one of pt's builds because they are for me rock solid. But TW.

I have flashed a bunch of roms, and try most any AOSP, AOCP, AOKP, CM, ... searching for a stable daily driver that works all the time.

I have been running Carbon Rom V 1.8 it's 4.2.2 and for my phone stable. Very stable. ALL my phone functions work perfectly, call quality, speaker phone, bluetooth, even my call recording app works. Camera, video, all good.

Really happy with this one. Battery life is a bit better too. If that is even possible with the i717.

I had been trying the nightly builds, and the huber kernel. But was getting an occasional lock up reboot, etc..

Had given up and went back to ol faithful Padawan.

Then found a Carbon Rom release version for our i717, Version 1.8. I did a full wipe, data, cache, and flashed it with TWRP. And the gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip.

No OC but it runs fine without it. Haven't tried the huber kernel with this version, and don't plan to.

HTH

However, not to be technical, but its "Uber".

For Bulldogs function and for mine, we are not using phone function anymore. Just a sort of mini tablet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bryanizmir:
I would base this question on "which ROM would I flash on my wife's phone".... She also has the 717, but won't let me put my dirty mitts on it :) That being said, without question I would put AOKP 4.4.2 on it if she finally relented. One of the most stable I have run, and blownfuze said he has no intention of giving up his note anytime soon. Which means we will get support for a while on that one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] i717:
:highfive:Yes, that is a great analogy, "which ROM would I flash on my wife's phone".

Only trouble is her phone is the i317. Carbon does have a release for her phone, but she likes the Jedi X version I have on hers.

I will have to re-investigate the latest AOKP 4.4.2 . I did briefly look at it and didn't get much past the known issues. Glad he fixed them.

I appreciate the developers here, and all the time they spend working and tweaking these ROMS.

However this Carbon works great for my i717. Camcorder, camera, gallery, all working fine. Bluetooth, etc.

I have had only one complaint about speaker phone echo, and I couldn't hear it on my end. When my wife called me from her note 2. I use the speaker phone option on about 1/2 my calls.

Thank you captemo for catching the miss spelled kernel. Wouldn't want someone searching for a mis-spelled anything! :good:

I hope this thread finds it's way to others still loyal to the i717 wanting something other than TW based ROMS. Retired or not, I like everything the device has to operate, reliably.

I did DL "Sons of Android" a couple weeks ago, and the .rar files opened up into something other than a ROM. Guess that one is gone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
I just posted link the other day and gapps for it too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brandonbarlow:
I thought aokp 4.4.2 and all kit kat roms had issues with the display going crazy especially related to games and lock screens. I though the camcorder doesn't work yet for aokp. I am in the same boat. My s4 died so I am back to the old note. I am going to try carbon 1.8 or sons on android, as those are the only download links I can find. Thanks for this post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] i717:
Thank you captemo for the direction of the Sons of Android files.:good:

I did DL them. My connection must have been wonky.

I had issues with the Gapps file. It must have been a bad download for me. Tried twice. Got the ROM to load up fine, but without Gapps I didn't get a good testing done. I was using TWRP.

Without an MD5 to be sure my DL was good I probably shouldn't have tried it.

So I reinstalled Carbon V1.8 from my BU.

Since my last post, I did have a FC and reboot related to my BeWeather App. I have also had issues with this App in TW based ROMs I've tried.

I don't load allot of Apps, or run many programs. And the ones I can Greenify, I do. Maybe this is why Carbon works for me?:fingers-crossed:

I reset my weather App to update manually when I use it now. I think it updating as the program opens has been the trouble.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brandonbarlow:
Is there a problem with Auto-Brightness on non TW roms? My display flickers when I unlock my screen. This happened on 4.4.2 roms and 4.2.2 carbon 1.8. Is there a simple fix I am forgetting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] i717:
The auto bright setting on the non TW based ROMs I have tried have not been as smooth as TW ROMs. I set the auto function off, and set it to low.

Some of the non TW based ROMs have the slide your finger across the top of the screen to manually adjust brightness. Nice feature.

I went back to the download dropbox provided by captemo and re-downloaded the files, and got a good clean ROM and Gapps. :good:

I am using "Sons Of Android" now, and like it very much! So far so good!

Thank you, captemo :good:
