[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remydlc:
i havent owned any HTC or Sony devices, but their rooting instructions are somewhat complicated comparing to Samsung, not sure where you are getting that Samsungs are hard to root/unlock. Now, they all can be rooted. just that Sony and HTC are a little harder because:

Sony have a protected system partition where it stores its camera drivers, you might have to restore that partition after rooting/unlocking the bootloader, so to install custom ROM you required extra steps and AFAIK the camera wont work the same due to the lack of drivers in custom roms.

HTC they have some extra security for their bootloader it seems (S-ON/S-OFF, google that) but they support most custom ROMs. Just gotta deal with that BS.

Samsung, their main issue is their Qualcom drivers are closed source, so you might have a buggy bluetooth/camera/video driver at first until some devs are able port/improve the original driver to use with AOSP (kind of).

Just got rid of my S4 one month ago since my job got my an iPhone :crying: I am going to get the Z2 even if they dont have as much custom ROM love as the others, but I am tired of Samsung already. Im thinking of either replacing my Nexus 5 or get rid of the iPhone :D and stay with the Z2 and the N5. That way i can satisfy my flashing and hacking needs with the N5 while having a premium device such as the Z2.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowlers:
I'm currently trying to decide between the Z2 and M8. Coming from S3 with literally massive dev support, I can see that the M8 is likely to get more dev support than the Z2, but as long as there is some decent stock based ROMs and decent AOSP/CM ROMs then I'd be happy on the Z2.

I do keep reading about broken camera on custom Kernels (on Z1) though. Is this likely to be the case on the Z2?

I've never been on Sony before, so it is new ground to me...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bllooi:
It really depends because you can just unlock the bootloader and flash a recovery without having to S-OFF if you just want root and custom ROMs for an HTC. Samsung is generally more frustrating because they don't really merge device trees and there are many variants of the phone itself all over the world. Used to own the Exnyos S4 and it was development hell .-. So I switched to the HTC One and I got what I wanted. In currently S-ON and I would only S-off to change CIDs and such. It's quite dangerous to S-ON again from an S-OFF as well. Something to consider if you plan to get an HTC.

Happy Flashing :D from the proud owner of a HTC One.

I plan to buy a Z2 because it has the specs, the functionality and we are gonna have some hands on good devs from the start of development. I truly believe that its the Z2s time to shine as its such a beautiful phone that's hopefully gonna get alot of development. The M8 is meh. I'm an HTC Fan but honestly the m8 doesn't look all too good and I had much higher expectations for HTCs new flagship

Happy Flashing :D from the proud owner of a HTC One.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malek777:
The htc m8 like you said doesnt seem too impressive specially spec wise, but i have a feeling it will get a much bigger development support. Not to mention that sony is going to release another flagship in 6 months.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bllooi:
True... After a while I am considering that a snapdragon 805 might do better. Not much innovation is going on with the current flagships and i think 2014 is going to be a pretty boring tech year for phones and wearables are coming in. I'm a proud owner of the HTC M7 and ive seen the leaks of the M8 im finding the speaker grills look weird and there is no use of the bottom bezel. I have to be honest the M8 looks terrible compared to the HTC One and all these flagships are carrying the 801's which are just a bump up... I think i might wait...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
Nah, the M8 will have more support (and legs) due to the fact that it has a GPE version. They are already committed to updating it to the latest version of android for two years. This will be ported across for most of the other variants just like it was on the one and that work will be available not long after the GPE hits the street as the same dev already has it in the works and is just waiting for a dump. Meanwhile here you have a phone that will already be old and pathetic when the 3 comes out on its fancy smanchy 805 chipset before the end of the year.

I bought in here guys so don't get me wrong. I feel this phone will have plenty enough support but if that were my main criteria I would have went with the M8.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
HTC cannot be Compared to Sony for the Quality of the Build Materials but for Developing Section HTC is more far away from Sony.

So if you want have Software support for your device buy Nexus or HTC, if you want have the feeling of an amazing quality phone in your hand, buy Sony.

[LG Nitro HD] hhill13:
Hey everyone, I just recently switched over to a different device and am interested in selling my Nitro. I was planning on posting it to eBay/Craig's List but figured I'd try here first to keep it in the community of XDA members first since it is currently rooted and running the latest CM11 nightlies. I am in the US (New Jersey) and willing to ship within the 48 contiguous states ONLY for anyone seriously interested.

*MAJOR SIDENOTE*

The phone works fine aside from the micro usb port which is iffy (works when it wants to or after some tinkering with it). However, my workaround for this issue has been using Airdroid for wireless file transfer and syncing my devices to my cloud storage (if you have an SD adapter or multi card reader they work fine too, you'll just have to either unmount the micro SD card or power the device off and take it out first). As far as the charging goes since its iffy at times using a cable, I purchased the Hyperion 1900 mAh AND 3800 mAh batteries which I will throw into the deal of course.

With this configuration of wireless data transfer and swapping batteries (having an extra in my pocket was always nice, especially for long trips or days of heavy usage) I've had no other problems/complaints with the device.

As far as the physical condition of the phone goes there are two small cracks (one on the top left corner, one on the left side of the screen on the bezel...no damage on the screen itself) and a few dings around the edges (honestly I think I've only dropped the phone "naked" a total of 3 times since it was released)

If you are SERIOUSLY interested in this deal you will be getting:

- LG Nitro HD (P930) with OEM battery and back cover

- Hyperion 1900 mAh battery

- Hyperion 3800 mAh extended battery with back cover

- Hyperion external battery charger

- 16GB SanDisk Ultra Class 10 micro sdhc card (optimized for android devices for use with the SanDisk memory zone app)

Any SERIOUS inquiries please PM me, I will be accepting PayPal for payment and have everything shipped standard immediately (extra charge if you want over night or any other shipping option). I will also provide serious inquires with pictures showing the damage on the phone and all accessories.

I am looking to sell everything together for $85, shipping included. I've taken into consideration the damage and the value of the extra batteries and memory card alone are about $45 so the phone itself is only $40 and you will see it's well worth the deal when I send you pics!

PLEASE SERIOUS INQUIRIES PM ME ONLY!!!

Thanks, it's been fun being part of the Nitro community here on the XDA forums, I'd like to pass the fun on to someone else now :D

I want to port this rom https://sites.google.com/site/dannyben777/home

Its a gs4 touchwiz tmoble 4.3 mk2 dabomb rom to my 4.3 mk2 sprint gs4 does anyone know where to start I tried the thread on porting the omega rom but when I try to flash it it get something about 4 arguments and 5 was expected?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Pop45398:
I've had cell phones for over 20 years and have never broken one... till now. I left my GS3 (i747) in my pants pocket and my wife washed them. I took it apart, dried it out, then cleaned it (I was amazed at the amount of corrosion). After putting it back together, everything worked except for the microphones. All the person on the other end could hear was static and crackling, and that was all I get when using Voice Recorder. It works fine with a headset for calls, however. I replaced the microphones but still have the same issue. I also have the same issue if I disconnect the connector for the headset jack so I assume the problem is in the logic board. I also tried it with the new microphones removed just in case I might have messed them up.

Anyone have any idea what the problem could be? How about what the highlighted device on the attached pic of the logic board is that looks kinda like a microphone, i.e. metal can with a small hole in it?

Thanks

Is anyone else having problems with HTC's stock texting app sending messages slowly? For example, when I type out a message and send it, the message remains in the text box for about 3 seconds before actually sending which can be annoying.

Also, I've notice that new messages take a while to load when you open the message app. I'm thinking about using a 3rd party texting app. It's becoming annoying.

I'm on MF1. Does anyone know what will happen if I flash to ML2 without the ML2 bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
I don't think it will boot. What you can do however is flash MI2 (which is the leaked version of 4.3 with a more open bootloader), then flash ML2 on top of that. This will give you ML2, but you will still have an old bootloader so you can always flash back to MF1 if you want. Read this for a little more info. I haven't tried it personally but people are reporting that it works.

I don't think anything bad would happen if you do what you are suggesting, and personally I'd be interested to see if it would work. I don't know that anybody has tried it. If something does go wrong, you have the Odin for MF1, so you can always recover from any soft bricks.

One some videos YouTube will buffer every 5 secs for approx 10-15 secs. This is with a good clean signal. Using a speed test getting 20Mb down. Some videos are great and work fine. Others lowering the quality helps. Some it does not matter what I do.

In an attempt to eliminate some suggested solutions. Here is what I have done already:

Rooted

Alliance ROM v24 (Fresh)

Jelly Beans v22 (Fresh)

Most current YouTube

SuperTube

VPN (on/and off)

Side note. My friend has a note 3 on Verizon and has started to see the same issue getting progressively worse.

I upgraded my XDA Exec with the new ROM 1.30.162 WWE and Activesync 4.1 but each time I sync, I get a "bad_pool_header" error on a blue background which crashes my machine.

I installed Activesync 4.1 on another laptop to check if this problem was due to drivers etc on my main laptop, and discovered that the device syncs with no problems. There is, therefore, a conflict between the new Activesync 4.1 or the new ROM, and something on my main laptop.

Has anyone come across this problem?

Thanks

The problem is definitely on your PC. Reinstall motherboard drivers, reflash bios, remove antivirus, reinstall windows, etc.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 10860:
Thanks - pretty drastic...!

Is there a short cut? ie reinstalling drivers one by one? If so, which are likely to be the main culprits? Motherboard? Broadband modem? etc

Does this reveal anything that could explain which driver?

Thanks

no.

You should create a complete crash dump, and use microsoft debugging tools to find faulting driver. Or better reinstall windows.

Good day everyone

I have decided to root my S3 and flash a custom rom of android 4.4.2 on it. Now, i've flashed roms before but what i dont remember and need help with is the difference between the roms and which one is the right one for my device and the carrier i'm with.

I got my S3 from Vodafone Australia. If i remember correctly flashing a rom designed for different radio kernels (i think thats what it was) will brick the phone. is this right? if so could someone please tell me how to find the right rom?

I tried to search and find my answer in forums but couldn't find anything, so any help would be highly appreciated!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunal1540:
you can brick your device only when you flash a rom which is not made for your device...

first confirm that your device is gt i9300

then you can try out any rom from here

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development

just find the rom that suit you and read the instructions before installing anything..

for ex for 4.4.2 roms you have to update your recovery to the latest cwm or twrp..
