Hi ebildude123,

It isn't quite obvious as, for the TF300T the 4.2 bootloader is required, but only the latest version of TWRP can install it and it is only compiled for the 4.1 bottloader...

Maybe i'll see with [MENTION=3909556]flumpster[/MENTION] but seeing how many people bricked with the 4.2 BL I'll make a try with the 4.1 one and the latest TWRP recovery available.

Thanks for your answer anyway ;)

Got my EXOSkin from XGear around two weeks ago and I thought I'd give a review about it in case anyone was wondering about whether it was good or not. Two weeks also seemed like a reasonable amount of time for me as well since it wouldn't be justified to review it's quality without using it. Furthermore, to make this review clean and simple, I will split it into sections with some comments and a score in the end out of 6.

Durability:

As far as I'm concerned, the durability of the skin is quite astonishing, although to be honest its been in my pocket for these past two weeks and I do have a bumper case too. To be specific, it's still holding up well and not peeling off like those cheap knockoff skins you find from Chinese manufacturers. I even reapplied the skin over 10 times because I'm the type of guy who hates it when things aren't perfect lol.

Overall score 6/6

Quality:

Not as good as I thought it would be, the rear and side skins for me was between satisfactory and excellent. The back skin; however, was completely atrocious and it was just cut wrong. Camera and flash cut out was intended to be a square but sides weren't perpendicular. Speaker ports on bottom right was also cut a tad bit high and finally it did not cover my back completely. At the bottom, you can see that 0.3cm of space is left unprotected... Anyways, I have already contacted their customer support and they recently sent me a replacement, so I guess I was unlucky or it's a common problem.

Overall score 4/6

Feel of the Skin:

I got the carbon skin, and it's just plain smooth with a certain degree of that "carbon" feel to it. I would however put a case on as well because it's slippery with hardly any grip.

Overall score 5/6

Aesthetics:

It looks awesome if you minus the atrociously cut out back skin. I would recommend you to put on a bumper case as well, as it just completes the look in my opinion. However though, a word of warning, do not for the love of god install the side skin if you plan on using a bumper case because once you put on the bumper, it AINT coming off...You'll have to use all your strength to pry the case off if you do, a mistake on my part. I also attached the images so, if you want to see it just click on it and it should enlarge.

Overall score 5/6

So what about DBrand, is it better than XGear?

I don't know, never bought a DBrand, but they're probably on par with one another after seeing some YouTube reviews.

That concludes my review and yeah....

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] amittrivedi.xda:
Hi,

Is the build of S4TheWin rom based on initial build of Quattro or something?

What I observed is that, when I have stock rom which is updated to the latest, I don't face any service issues like range problems especially in my office.

But I just installed the custom rom i.e. S4TheWin and I am facing that one of my services goes down frequently in the same office place.

As I like this rom and want to use further, what can be the solution to it. It's on the build ...XXAMK1

The latest build for Quattro is I8552XXAML3 in India.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ereckson:
hey guys, so i've been thinking of updating my phone to the latest firmware, but the problem is that my USB port doesn't work very well. It takes me 10 to 15 mins to get the phone to start charging or connected to the computer. Sony won't repair the damn thing cause of excessive damage. I need to know if i can safely update without flashing FTF files which include the kernel. I also tried going to pure stock directly from Sony, but PC companion won't restore the phone since i'm on a custom ROM (Existenz Ultra 5). Can any provide me with the PCC firmware file of the latest release? or any other help would do.

Also, i cant enter flash mode since the port is damaged.

Sony PCC says it doesn't have any software for my phone even when i click the restore button.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything you can do. As far as I know, you cannot manually load firmware with the PC Companion.

I think the only thing you can do is to get your USB port repaired. Try to find a third party repair shop that will do it for you.

Hey,

If you did a search before posting you would find several posts already on this topic...

There's no free solution at the moment.

You can either:

- Contact T-Mobile... Get an unlock code (Not free normally)

- Send to company, normally a lot of dosh

- Wait for the great Buzz who is currently working on a solution (see http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=40389)

I wantto Format my sdcard to exfat... yes or no ？
[Sony Xperia ZR] John98Zakaria:
To use link2SD yes 4.3 Supports it I think

Actually I am 4.2 and tried Ext3 didn't work but Ext2 and Fat32 Work fine
[Sony Xperia ZR] akash4357:
All cards 32gb or less (SDHC cards) come formatted in Fat32.(Part of SDHC spec) This includes a file limit of 4gb max for a single file.

All cards 64gb or more (SDXC cards which the XZR supports) come preformatted in exFat (Part of SDXC spec). This does not have a 4gb file limitation.

The stock Sony Firmware supports exFat. (I bought a 64gb SDXD formatted with exFat and plugged it in and worked right away). Most recoveries do to. (TWRP does at least).

However, I flashed CM11 onto my XZR. CM11 does _NOT_ support exFat. Initially I backed up and reformatted my card in Fat32. Angry with the 4gb file limitation (I have many 720p and 1080p movies over 4gb..) I actually took the microSD card out, used a adapter and hooked it up to a Linux system (Ubuntu 13.10 in my case) and used gParted to format the card to EXT4 filesystem. EXT4 is a filesystem most Linux machines use and support natively. This is actually the filesystem most newer Android device use for their internal SDCard / Data partitions! I popped the card back in, CM11 reads it perfectly! And I was able to copy files over 4gb to the device!

So its not a hardware thing since the XZR is SDXC compatible. Just formatting / partition time issue.

Just my 2 Cents.

[General Questions and Answers] leodani:

[General Questions and Answers] Fahrenheit51:
Have u already seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um63OQz3bjo

plus, you can start here https://trybtc.com/ This will make you a wallet and give you something like 0.01$ for free.

Be aware that now BitCoin is the most difficult "digital currency" to mine. Some other currencies are born, here is a list: http://ispace.co.uk/index.php (and some others are missing)

You will need a "pool" to mine xCoin and this pool depend on which coin you choose to mine.

Example: you choose betacoin? then this: http://bet.ispace.co.uk/index.php is a good pool where you can join and start mining.

NOTICE: "mining" means that your computer need lot of power. really lot. People used to use CPU when BitCoin started, then people switched over GPU which are more powerful for this kind of calculations. Now people use "Miner". An example of miner is this: http://www.butterflylabs.com/

Personally i tried mining with my GTX660 and speed was 66Mhash/s which is ridiculous... And i don't have enough money to buy a miner.

I'm not really into this market 'cause i see lot of problems. In these last times hackers get interested in bitcoin and started hacking wallets. So.. i will be very sad if i mine 1 bitcoin (nearly 900$ some weeks ago) and one badass hacker steal it.

Hope you good luck :victory:

P.S.: I repeat. I'm a noob in this. Don't take my words as a bible. These are just general information and advises from someone that tried bitcoin and decided to come back to real money.

Right Kitkat for UK Simfree Note 3, I reckon we won't see it until at least a couple of carriers here in the UK have released it first, it usually how it now works with Samsung going of past history.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gavinfabl:
I agree. We need to keep it as a discussion thread around the issues of the BTU ...

My main concern over kitkat is the change in use with the sd card. It seems it takes away potential from the Note 3.

Yip but what doesn't help is when people start posting stuff that has F all to do with the Note 3 in general.

Are you more personally affronted that Samsung - who don't do ETAs - haven't got round to the UK yet, or that every time you start a thread to whine about said fact, it gets pulled because you have absolutely nothing constructive to say?

a thread like this, you might want it but you don't need it by any stretch of the imagination, cut the self entitled crap out now, this is XDA, not a democracy, get used to it.

If it were up to me and most moderators, country specific threads would be banned outright (indeed we did just this in the S4 forum as there were between 13 and 15 threads, which is a joke when you're trying to keep the forums clean of crap)... there is no point to them and they serve no purpose as if a bit of news comes out, someone will undoubtedly make a new thread about it which completely negates the original motive behind country specific threads.

As it happens it is not a FSM decision to allow country specific threads so aside from under special circumstances, country specific threads are allowed (for now) so I won't be closing this one.

any news as to when it will be rolled out in the UK
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
A lot of under the hood changes, all for the better.. far more stable also.

O2 have been testing it for a while according to some inside users on the O2 forums... Also note - O2 are notoriously unreliable and slow when it comes to pushing out software updates, -

EE I assume? - they're the only UK carrier that have pushed it so far that I am aware of anyway.

It is possible some have it already, sometimes updates will get pushed to 500-2000 devices at any given time. It's like a "soft rollout" so to speak.. Also remember, before you say "it's just not possible" that there are hundreds of thousands of users that have Note 3's in the UK that have no idea what XDA or a forum is. - some of them *may* have it. - However, I do doubt the release of BTU Region for now,

--------------------------

RE: This thread, - I'm not gonna weigh into the debate that has gone on/will go on again regarding this whole thing. However. The international forum is English speaking only (as is most of XDA) - so the need for a United Kingdom users thread IMO isn't warranted. Reasoning for other countries threads is mainly is due to some non-English speakers and notoriously slower updates in other regions. Iran for instance, which have issues with International brands etc but there's plenty of Iranian users who need help.

So long as people keep to the topic of UK news, information etc this thread probably will be helpful. I have a scan of it as I'm sure many others do. And since the other two turned into E-Peen contests I can guarantee a Moderator is watching this waiting for someone to step out of line.

TL;DR

Stick to UK issues/info and all will be good :good:

I've got a feeling we WILL see Kitkat sometime next week either on some carrier or even BTU.

Well the only way iphones can compete with the s5 and nexus 5 (and 6 later in the year), is bringing a totally overhauled ios that doesn't feel unfamiliar to those that need a simple OS yet feature packed for techies like us, bigger screens with a better aspect ratio, finally getting quadcore processors and more ram and full multitasking abilities.

Even then purely due to the nature of the kind of phones they are, the iPhone won't compare to the note range, which outgun any other range of phone on the market.

Basically Samsung knows it can play it safe because there is no way that Apple will produce any worthy competition, only something which appeals to loyal consumers and those who require a simple Facebook, camera and email phone with a flashy name.

I am interested in trying out an s5 but I will not downgrade to it from the note 3 (or my second phone, nexus 4) and probably wont need to upgrade until the note 5 or nexus 7, by which time the entire mobile landscape may change (I see Nokia android and Windows phone taking off in the next year).

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Alex Atkin UK:
Everyone is so anxious for BTU but is there likely to be ANY difference at all to the XEO Poland ROM?

The only thing I am thinking is the modem, as the UK uses frequencies for 4G that I do not believe anywhere else uses.

I'm on the Poland ROM and it works perfectly on my local O2 4G mast but I lost all reception when out of the house, somewhere that I would normally have a signal. I was concerned that perhaps the XEO had a modem not fully compatible with the UK? Of course it could also have been a fluke as it WAS somewhere that reception can be a bit dodgy.

Rather wishing I stayed on Jelly Bean as all I have gained from KitKat is some improvements to responsiveness, ugly white status bar icons, my signal widget locks up after a while which only a reboot fixes, I cannot copy music to my SD card any more and the My Little Pony game crashes when launched. Not much of an upgrade really although to be fair, none of these issues are Samsungs fault.
