ok i have flashed it from aroma, now it works but i can't ear any difference with insane. Maybe my headphones can't go up of volume
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Well, Insane is surely louder than stock. Not as loud as I would like it to be, because the higher volumes are locked-down and I'll have to find a way to somehow bypass it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Deaf version for 4.4 is really close! I'm doing some fine-tuning ATM and I'll raise INSANE volume in the next release. :)

All of them are working perfectly. This mod is as clean as it can possibly be.

@UP I'm quite busy with real life so I'll probably get myself to work on that on weekend. I got both DEAF version and speaker boost worked out already. Now it's just modifying the files, putting them in the proper directories and finally wrapping it all up in AROMA installer for a easy choice (that will probably take the most of time spent on the mod update, lol) :D

hey I made a mod incluiding the speaker sound, just taste it (use the file of the carpet "xtreme sound mod" and unpack the zip) and follow the steps of the first post

You're welcome. Thanks for appreciation :) I don't think I'll leave Z1 for about 2 years or so. This mod will be maintained for a long time at least for headphones (if I won't have time to do other things that I don't need boosted myself)

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] luis4ever:
I tried your mod and is extremely loud. On some songs I put the volume on half and is actually louder than stock. But on some songs(Losing my religion-REM) you can't go above 40-50% because the sound is a Lot distorted. However it's useful for some low volume media. Thanks for this awesome work.

PD: What's Deaf?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] monx®:
ur aroma package might have problem. see here
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
The actual volume output GREATLY depends from the electrical resistance of the heapdhones (OHM's) and it seems that your headphones have low resistance. Nothing wrong with that. If you're not talking about headphones, but the speaker then it's as good as it gets I suppose. I think I found a balance between too loud and too quiet. I've checked a few songs before the release and it was distorted only on the last step/second to last step if you have a good ear.

If you're not using Z1 then that might be different - let me know - I'll make a version for other device if I get time.

DEAF version is what it says - the volume is boosted like hell. Stock Z1 headphones are crapping out at the highest volumes and I tested my friends headphones in class - if I continued to do that then the teacher would surely hear that. :D

It's meant mainly for a proper headphones or high resistance headphones. You can try it if you want of course. ^^
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] luis4ever:
Yes, I was talking about the speaker. I haven't tried headphones yet. However, it's useful to have a mod for a louder volume. I watched today a movie with low volume so I couldn't hear but with your mod that is a past thing. Thanks again.

Trying your latest version mod right now. Only thing i have to say is i found 3 bugs?

- When i was installing with TWRP, i got stuck on installer two times having to press red button after i pressed Changelog and want to go back. Third time was the victorious but i did not press other things.

- If you select spanish all text displays in English.

- The mod says you will install a ROM.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] olokos:
Installer getting stuck is because sometimes recovery gets slow. There's nothing I can do about it.

I suppose that everyone knows English here. :)

In English it will say that you're installing a mod.

I accidentally flashed a wrong CWM to my Broadcom BCM23550 device. And when during the course of flashing it got stuck on Installing system update screen which got an Android Icon on it with open chest and a progress bar stuck on 1/3. I tried to pull out the battery and booted it again but nothing happened the same thing is happening again and again CWM is appearing when i press volume rockers but when I reboot it gets directed to the same screen and I can't scroll properly in CWM too... Please anyone help me to fix it.
[General Questions and Answers] stipipoy:
Well perhaps it is because the update was not completely installed. Some updates can take longer than expected. If you're still booting to CWM, try using the volume rocker to navigate up or down on the menu. Press the power button to enter or select an item or option. Look for "reboot system" and see if it will boot properly this time.

heey guys.

Since 2 days i own a xperia z ultra and i rooted it with unlocked bootloader.

But now i am not abled to watch youtube vids or netflix they always keep at the loading screen on netflix, on youtube same problem doesnt load doesnt run. I bought this phone to watch vids and so on so if someone cud help me please im on 1.136 rooted.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
I believe that's cos you've unlocked the bootloader and so your drm keys are gone.

I also believe there are is at least a Netflix mod on xda to deal with this.

Could be wrong
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] techpal:
Try clear yotube/netflix cache/data under APPS and restart.

I tried that and didnt work.

And i believe there is no way to undo all that right?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
If you took a backup before unlocking, you can restore the ta partition but that will relock the bootloader. If no backup then no.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rans0m00:
So wanting to add wireless charging to my car. I have a little cubby that my phone sits in everytime I get in the car. The plan is to somehow add a qi charger under this 1/8th inch thick plastic. Towards the top the phone doesn't sit flat and there is a 1/4 inch gap between phone and plastic. I have never done anything with qi charging... Ever.

So now on to the questions.

Will it charge through this thick of plastic?

The area where it will charge... Will it be small or can I make it rather large(7x5inch space)?

Could you point me towards a good place to buy the charging part? Ideally it wouldn't be in a plastic case suitable for sitting on a desk. If I could get away with attaching the coil directly to the underside of this little cubby I would like to do this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
I've taken a backup of all the app data with Helium (checked "Backup app data only") via my laptop's browser (connecting to the local IP address of the server) and now, after unlocking bootloader, flashing TWRP, and gaining root I need to restore it.

(I've posted this at the Help thread, but since it seems to be more than a simple question I'm migrating it here.)

To sum what I've done so far:

How I've taken the backup:

Opened Helium Server via my laptop's browser and selected all the apps, checked the "Backup App Data Only" and then clicked backup, it asked me where to save the zip file, clicked ok and now I have a backup of about 80MBs.

Now I want to restore the backup, what I've done:

Installed Helium

Connected it successfuly with my laptop running run.sh script

Opened helium and selected settings and then the 1st option (sth about PC), so I got the local address of the Helium server

Accessed the server via my laptop's browser and clicked browse to select my backup file

It said uploading and after that the list of all the apps showed up, clicked the Restore button

At the phone, the Backup/Restore dialog opened, a quick message showed up in this dialog about the 1st app (9gag) and then the dialog closed (not force close) with a toast notification saying "Restore starting..."

After that I got a message at my laptop's browser that "Restore complete" although no such thing happened

So, what can I do now?

Is there any way to manually restore the apps via adb restore now that I don't have an ab file? Actually I don't care using GUI, I just want to proceed restoring the backup, I've seen these threads here and here but I have a zip file, not an ab.

Does helium backup uses adb backup and then this tool to convert the ab file to zip?

Really frustrated that this has taken up so much time..:mad:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
I have never used or even heard of Helium before today. But I looked it up and read the description. One of the points said "You may need to set your USB Connection Mode to "PTP". (Nexus 7, Nexus 10, etc)". Did you do that?

And maybe you should try Titanium Backup if you havent before. It works Flawlessly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
I've asked at the help thread for a backup application without having root (because Titanium needs root) and they recommended this one.

Yes, it's connected via PTP :(

I've also tried testing with the app a little bit, here's what I got/done:

Installed an app

Taken a backup of this single app checking the "Backup app data only"

Restored the backup via the browser client (at my laptop) and it said "Restore starting...", but also "Restore finished", but there wasn't any prompt to install the application from Google Play

I've also sent an email to the developer..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
Ive looked into the app a little bit more and watched the video. I'm starting to get interested in the app. lol. You said you backed up app data only. Maybe you need to download the app first.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
Well, it says at the option "Backup app data only" that "You will be prompted to download the app from Google Play before restoring.", so something surely goes wrong. Maybe I've hit a bug, I don't know. I hope I get a prompt reply from the devs team.

Also, I've tried doing that with viber and it didn't work. So I've browsed through /sdcard/Android/data/ and here's the result of

ls -l

.

Note that the only non standard package is

com.ninegag.android.app.tmp

, which is probably the one that flashes when I click restore just before the app goes off focus and posting the toast notification "Starting Restore...".
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
Well just to see, download an app first and then restore the data and see if it works. If it does, then its just not prompting you to download the app.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
Nothing happened :/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
With my lack of experience with the app, I dont know what else to say. I guess just wait and hope you hear back from the dev. Sorry
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghengis042:
Total shot in the dark, but I saw some mention earlier that Helium (maybe adb-backup itself?) has issues running on a PIN-locked device. Maybe try disabling your phone security before doing the restore? It can't hurt to check, at least.

I had an issue on another device, where an adb backup with a password showed similar problems on restore -- "starting restore" then immediately "restore complete" or whatever, without actually writing any files. Making a new backup without a password "fixed" this -- the restore actually worked. Not sure if that helps you at all, since your old data is already gone :(

Can we install differente ROM update (Dopod on a s200 or on jamin)

2. Is other supplier in Canada that i could buy from?

Need to be unlocked and usable anywhere in the world.

3. What Accessories should i buy from the start?

Thanks for your help
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ericlin0122:
First of all, you can install any ROM on any Prophet ( Dopod, Jamin, etc..)

So there is no difference to buy any of Prophet.

Second, to unlock the phone is very easy, you just need to use aWizard.

Third, you need screen protector for sure!

Last, does the web site offer manufactury warrenteey? If, no, there is no difference to buy there or on Ebay. I think you can find better price on ebay for sure. For me, I got my Dopod for around $750 CAD ( from mobile01.com with full warrenteey.) But it's all up to you, if you feel comfertable to buy there.

Anyway, I hope you can enjoy new phone soon. :D

I recently updated to Kit Kat and flashed latest firmware and radio. I'm having a problem where data seems to freeze and won't connect at times. I can see the 3G data up and down arrows trying to connect, but it just never makes a connection. I can go into airplane mode and then back to service and it connects right away, usually to LTE, so I'm thinking it has something to do with the switch from 3G to LTE. Super frustrating as I drive around the city a lot for work and sometimes data freezes for 15 minutes or more. Anyone having similar issues?

Same - Stuck on 3G for Data

I am having similar issue. I think it does have something to do with switching to LTE. My device now only really works with 3G. whenver i'm connected to lte no data is transfered but it says im connected and says data is transfering. I 've unfortunately resolved to just using 3G only. It's pretty sad. I went from a healthy use of data on 4G to barely using it. i think i had a few hundred KB this month. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Scorpion360:
I also have this issue, it has been more and more prevalent lately. The phone will be working fine on 3G, then data freezes as it switches to 4G, maybe resumes for a split second, then switches back to 3G. Sometimes 3G doesn't even work then, sometimes it keeps looping between the two. It's ridiculously frustrating to be streaming music while driving and it just stops because it can't figure out which mode to be in.

Hi all,

Just had a quick question, as I am thinking about swapping carriers from AT&T (horrible customer service and technical support). I currently have the AT&T i747, but I am thinking about switching from AT&T to T-Mobile as they are now providing Unlimited Everything for $70 per month. My question is, if I unlock my i747 for T-Mobile, which section in XDA would I go for custom ROMS, Kernels, tools and utilities and such? Would I stay here since the hardware is AT&T or would I need to migrate to the T-Mobile forums? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
In order to enable high speed data on you i747, you'll need to enable AWS frequencies on your s3 and unlock it. You could continue to use d2att ROMs if the model # on your phone does not get changed by using the T-Mobile mod.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] serio22:
You can use either sections, but you need to stick with i747 modems and firmwares.. And if you want to take advantage of T-Mobile's WiFi calling then you need a T-Mobile ROM.. You may or may not have to do the AWS mod. if you live in a refarmed T-Mobile area, then you'll get 4g and 4g lte fine, if not, then you may only get lte with edge being a fall back if you don't do the mod.. I used an i747 with T-Mobile and luckily my area is refarmed so I had 4g and 4g lte with no mods needed
