Even if it's true? He had indicated that he writes for some small tech blogs. Judging by the poor caliber of his review of Sony products which contains some pretty sketchy statements which he appears to hope can hide behind the old "IMO" safety net, I merely offered not an opinion, but a truth. He's not very good at it.

If he had written a piece containing more fact or at least opinion backed by credible sources, then his OP would have looked much different, and might even carry some measure of respectability. As it stands right now it's more or less just a rant/bash based on nothing really.

Much of the above can be said about your post as well. But where you and he differ is that your premise that other Smartphone makers don't have just as many CS horror stories is nothing short of ridiculous. And he didn't stalk my other posts looking for flimsy ammo to sling around.
[Xperia Z1 General] Si1kIfY:
In my experience every Sony product i've owned has been really well made and lasts a long time but way too overpriced compared to competitors.

Still have one of the original T68i ericsson phones with a color screen that works ;)

Hi,

I've had this issue when updating to any nightlies for quite some time now - when ever I update from the current nightly that I was using on my HOX+, the data and wifi seems to just not work. The Wifi would never turn on, and the data would just never work.

Does anyone know why this happens? I cant seem to get it working on the latest M3 snapshot either..

Have tried different recoveries, clean/dirty installs but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks!
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
Well I'm running the M3 right this second on WiFi. Have you flashed the boot.img in the zip?
[HTC One X+] adaimespechip:
I have not, no.. I've had a look and apparently that doesn't make a difference if I'm coming from a previous cm11 build. I'll give it a go.
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
Actually it does, as at times the WiFi/ril modules will change size, or the "magic number" of the modules change, and so a new kernel needs to be flashed....

Also at time's either myself or thomy will push a change to the rom, for example recently a fix for ril was pushed, it didn't go into the kernel, but it did go into the device tree, with some changes to the ramdisk which are also in the device tree.....
[HTC One X+] adaimespechip:
Perfect - that worked just fine. Thanks for your help.
[HTC One S] sinkingFX:
Hello xda, it's me again (posting very much lately with my problems...)

I flashed the CM 10.2 ROM again on my One S and tried to get the ADB working, but it somehow doesn't work. I tried it on my 2 PCs, my laptop and the one that I'm normally using for Android...ish stuff, but both can not find my phone. "error: device not found" plops always up and I don't really know why, I mean, on both PC's I used the ADB with the One S before and I have all the drivers installed. I'm just really confused atm...

One S S4 variant - CM 10.2 Stable - TWRP 2.6.3.0 - CID: HTC_102
[HTC One S] KrzeptowskiAA:
I had same problem but after I run SDK Manager.exe it was solved. Dunno why it happened.

Do you have USB debugging turned on in the developer settings?
[HTC One S] sinkingFX:
Okay, I will try this just in a minute. Thanks for the tip!

UPDATE: Nope, doesn't change anything sadly. Still "error: device not found". :(

Of course I have. :)
[HTC One S] KrzeptowskiAA:
Do you see in device manager "Android USB Devices" when u plug phone in?
[HTC One S] sinkingFX:
Nah, nothing android'ish in the device manager, but the USB mass storage works just fine on both PC's. In the attachments is a screenshot of my device manager (don't wonder, it's in German, but no android stuff nowhere.) Just tried it yesterday with an standard HTC One S with the 4.1.1 HTC ROM and it's ADB works fine.
[HTC One S] sinkingFX:
Okay, I found out what was the error! Under Settings -> Storage -> USB Computer Connection was mass storage activated, and for ADB you have to switch to MTP! Now my ADB works finally, yay! :)

Thank you all for your help, it was much appriciated! :) And many many thanks to Gabe Sechan from THIS site!

Hey guys i just bought Xperia Z1 C6903 on 4.2.2 Global-LTE_14.1.G.2.257 and i'm afraid to update it because some phones died after update, so how can i update it without any problems? please answer if you now dont just say maybe

THANKS!!!!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
The phones died most of the time trying to root and downgrade. Just use Flashtool v0.9.13 and download the latest FW for your model from HERE, wipe Data, Appslog and Cache and all will be fine, or wait for OTA, but there is no difference.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimbashka:
Just use SUS or PC Companion. It is safe way to get updates for your Z1.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
The point is if he do not have Updates or he do not have the latest update and want to update then he have to use Flashtool, anyway flash from PC Companion or with Flashtool there is no difference, they do the same thing.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimbashka:
It says he got global version so he should get latest updates through SUS or pc companion. From what I can see hes phone is not carrier locked with bloatware. Flashtool is best for every locked and unlocked versions. It just sounded like he is afraid of using it, and that was bases for suggestion to keep it safe...;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M7ammad:
yeah this is it , but do i lose my stuff using flashtool? Please if you can give me the .FTF file that suits my phone

I can now update using PC Companion but some people posted on the thread that their phone died from this

I pressed thanks for all of you :D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
HERE you find all the FTF for your model, choose which you want. I will recommend a Unbranded one.

To keep Apps and Data just uncheck "Wipe Data" in Flashtool and you will not lose anything.

[HTC Desire S] PerfectJam:
Hi guys,

I got a DS down, but finally, after research, I wonder if it is not simply bricked.

The guy who I recovered from told me after an exchange of large files via Bluetooth between the tablet and DS, this one was completely blocked until turn off.

Since then, it has never turned back. But now that I have connected it to the PC or charger, the indicator (orange) battery lights up.

This is a good sign? or nothing to do?

Thank you for your help.
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
pull the battery out n put back in then press and hold volume down then press and hold power button (so both same time) see what happens. Hopefully it will boot into bootloader
[HTC Desire S] PerfectJam:
I can't boot in bootloader neither. The phone isn't recognized by my PC, only charging...

Other idea guy ? Or it's really dead ? :)

PS :

Ok I have news. When I go out and return the battery while I press the three buttons (on / off, sound and sound + -), the DS vibrates 5 ​​times, it is also connected to my PC, it now tells me that my battery is fully charged (green indicator).

I also have this message on the PC, which has sought a pilot. And he said finally, no driver has been found.

PS 2 :

I follow this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1669498 for install this drivers... now i have Echec (= fail)
[HTC Desire S] PerfectJam:
Nobody has an idea ? :(
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Im not 100% sure but for the normal htc desire, when the phone vibrates 7 times, its means hardware failure and only shop can fix or get a new motherboard. So im guessing that the 5 vibrations for the desire s means the same thing. Sorry.
[HTC Desire S] Aquous:
This is a known problem; google "qhsusb_dload". Unfortunately, I have never seen this with a Desire S before so I wouldn't know what to do... :(

Hi everybody!

Is there a way (e.g. registry hack) to keep ActiveSync from disconnecting the GPRS connection?

I have GPRS always on for Push Email and my GPRS tariff has a 100kb block size with a monthly limit of 30MB, so disconnecting every time I sync my device is using up my limit quite fast...

In stock rom there is application to check camera firmware (*#34971539#). Can this application be ported to non-stock rom, for example CM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul Blake:
No ... its based on touchwiz framework and dialer and cant be ported
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papudrun:

My GS4 ATT keeps getting stuck on the Samsung Custom screen after rebooting my rom.

The initial reboot after doing a clean install works fine, but after restarting, it gets stuck.

I have tried 3 different roms so far and all have the same problem, any suggestions?

other information:

model#: sgh-1337

version 4.3

kernal:3.4.0-g4fe9989-dirty
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
what recovery

what roms did you try

by clean, i assume you wiped system also

i don't pay attn to kernel names. is that part of the rom you last flashed or did you get it elsewhere and if so exactly how did you flash it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gsr101:
I tried hyperdrive rls14 3 times and lquidsmooth, shostock, all have the same problem.

I flashed it through TWRP like normal, wipe, install, wipe chache ...

i might have to go back to stock via odin, but im currently running a mac.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
is that kernel stock for one of the roms, if not flash rom with it's stock kernel

which twrp, 2.5.0.2 is best
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gsr101:
its the stock kernals with the roms, im not sure which version of twrp I have because then I wont be able to boot into into rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
ok, so you can't boot into recovery?

have you ever flashed and ran a rom successfully, which one?

if so, what has changed if anything to be a possible cause
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gsr101:
No i can boot into recover, i cant boot into the rom after restarting (after installing the rom it will boot, but after restarting it gets stuck on boot)

I have ran many roms in the past, i flashed over stock root. I am not sure what to, and dont want to restore it completely unless its a must.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
baseband is your radio, what's your Build number, if you know

i think on a mac you will need to use heimdal, this guy Ashton may be able to help if you go that route

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1917237

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gsr101:
I dont think you completely understand my situation. So everything works fine, except when I restart my phone after flashing a new rom, it will get stuck on the samsung boot logo. this happens to every rom I have tried.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:

it boots perfectly after flashing the rom, but after i get into the rom and install stuff and then I reboot causes the phone to get stuck on the logo.

I noticed that there is something wrong with the root permissions.

What recovery are you using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
also, i don't remember you saying what your build is, just the baseband.

these things uaually happen if you are flashing a rom not meant for your phone or an incompatible kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gsr101:
oh, thanks for the help. I really want to run Hyperdrive RLS14 on it, so should I goto stock then update and root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
well, would like to know your build not baseband

ie, mdl, mf3, mk2

otherwise back to stock thru heimdall, since you are on mac, may be path, never used it but there is info on it thru google searches

also, if possible backing up important info on internal card and reformatting may be another option
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gsr101:
My BASEBAND says MDL, My BUILD says RLS13.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Still think it's an issue with your recovery. Google twrp 2.5.0.2 zip xda and flash that in your current recovery. Then flash your rom and see if you still have the problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gsr101:
I am already running that version.

So i went in to twrp to fix permissions then it tells me root permissions appear to be lost, fix now....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
ok, that's because you are on that rom. do you remember what it was before you starting flashing roms

i only ask because someone was on mf3 and thought they rooted and installed a custom recovery, but they didn't. don't see how that is your issue as you successfully flashed a custom rom. but was curious.

you do wipe system when you wipe prior to flashing a rom?

not sure what your issue is, sorry--:(

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

i didn't know lack of root would keep you from booting--guess so--

back to stock may be answer

or try the reformat of internal card--old things can be on there and mess with new roms

did you try rebooting with no sdcard
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gsr101:
I guess stock it is, should i stay on MDL or update ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
if you update from build mdl to mf3 you will have a locked down bootloader--limited rom selection, no custom recovery or kernels

if you are talking about mdl radio it will be fine to start

SOLVED! BLADE UNBRICKED
[Galaxy Note 3 General] djdelirius:
OK guys, so I finally found a working root for my Verizon Note 3 that had MJE pre-installed. On top of that, it didn't trip Knox either! There's a Chinese rooting program called "VROOT" that you need which the most simple routing method I've seen even with a portion of the program in Chinese. Just install the program on a Windows computer, correct your device, wait for the root button to enable then click on"Root". There is an English version here: mgyun.com/en/getvroot*. The English version still has some Chinese though but I was able to navigate and successfully root the 1st try. One other caveat, the program installs a Chinese version of SuperSU so you'll need to manually download the English version from the play store and during the first boot of the English version of supersu it gives you the option to uninstall the Chinese version. Hit yes to uninstall the Chinese version then full reboot and the English version will run. I verified through rootchecker, titanium backup and obviously all the root restricted programs I've installed since. Also, make sure you have developer options turned on (enable it by tapping on the build number in Settings>About Phone 7 times) then USB debugging enabled, install from unknown sources enabled in Settings>Security and unchecked verify apps in the same directory. Vroot also installs a Chinese version of an app store...not sure if it's goo manager or some other app because it's in Chinese. I haven't uninstalled it yet as I'm not sure if I need it for the root.

I hope this helps any of the frustrated Verizon users that just bought the note 3 with MJE pre-installed.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bfb101:
Is vroot safe? Are there alternatives to vroot for MJE? Is there a timetable documenting firmware version by date? For instance, is MJE more recent than MJ3? If so, can an MJE build be downgraded?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] chkenwing:
At the time, VRoot was for obtaining information about your phone and sending Chinese servers.

Not too sure what the is now but it's advised that should it caution or just don't use it at all even even though it does provide a way to root.
