[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zjhehe:
So I have a Galaxy S4 and finally updated it to Android 4.4, so you might be going 'wow, Samsung is slower than HTC for once!' and I'll go 'yeah, I know right!'. Anyways, now I'm interested in this 'Swype' keyboard installation that's going on. Before we begin, just thought you should know that I am just curious with who is doing this so it's not really an issue of mine.

Swype can only be disabled, but cannot be uninstalled. I have used Swype before as a trial, but removed it as I liked SwiftKey better. Now I'm almost positive this was a new install with Android 4.4 because I had to go through the welcome screens for Swype when I first selected it as my default keyboard input method. You might ask how did I first notice this? Well, a friend of mine was spamming emoji's because they new I couldn't do it back and so I was going through all the keyboards I had to see if they had a list of Emojis, which looked like is only available on Google's stock keyboard. Anyways, as I'm certain that I did not install Swype, it had to come with the update, but my question (or interest) is who did it?

As far as I know, Samsung has their own keyboard with a SwiftKey licensing to use their word prediction algorithm. Highly doubt Google brought Swype in as it would just introduce competition against their own keyboard and it wouldn't make sense not to implement Emojis on Swype if Google indeed did bring Swype in. I'm speculating that Swype (Nuance really) paid Google to have their application installed on all new 4.4 updates?

It was raining quite heavily in the weekend and I was wearing my SW2 and the charging cover was firmly pressed in as I always make sure it is after every time I charge it and it got a bit wet and seemed to be working fine during the weekend after it had gotten wet but today I noticed that the top half of the screen isn't responding pretty much at all and I can very very rarely pull down the notification bar or swipe the screen using the top half of the display but I am able to press the icons in that part. I also noticed the light sensor has little bubbles of moisture in it. Would I be able to claim it under warranty seeing it is meant to be IP57 and should have been able to be worn in the rain?
[Sony Smartwatch] uh60james:
Just file a claim, don't give then any more details than they need.
[Sony Smartwatch] Penguwin:
I'd probably try the 'ol bag of rice trick and then claim it on warranty if that didn't work :( . Hopefully they don't have any of those color changing moisture detecting indicators in there :confused:

Best of luck!
[Sony Smartwatch] magicdark:
I have done 2 showers with smartwarch 2 at the wrist and no problem. IP57 significa poter immergere l'orologio in acqua per mezz'ora fino ad un metro di profondità.
[Sony Smartwatch] uh60james:
Even if they do have the indicators they advertise it as water resistant, I would assume as long you don't tell them you went scuba diving with it or something crazy like that you should be good to go. That said I have never had to file a warranty claim on a Sony product before so I have no idea how much of a hassle they may give somebody.
[Sony Smartwatch] dc959:
It did start working perfectly fine yesterday but today its suddenly become unusable where just sliding along the screen its stuttering because its picking up my finger on and off rapidly and the capacitive buttons underneath aren't responding as much as they should so I think ill just do a warranty claim saying I was walking home in the rain and didn't bother about covering the watch because it was meant to be water resistant so I assumed it would be fine seeing my phone isn't water resistant and I use that in the rain with no problems. The watch is only 4 months old so id expect them to replace it which if I get a new one I may just look into selling it new and getting google wear when they're released haha
[Sony Smartwatch] Ryland Johnson:
Just a small word of caution. Sony do not claim the watch to be water proof so don't use that term. The watch is water resistant only and then to a very low IP standard. IP57 is not very useful to a watch. Better than the Gear 1 though. I still maintain this is a major problem with a watch.

Good luck with your situation.

[Sony Smartwatch] supac:
I shower, take it to jacuzzi and sauna for 3 months now, with no problem
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
my watch fell apart after two months of wearing, not unlike others

also, TS is not the first to report water damage after a shower

it might be true only a small batch of watches was affected with this "glue problem", but i'm not taking any chancces when it comes to water, wearing this watch in the shower (or worse) is an accident waiting to happen....
[Sony Smartwatch] marcosanchez:
The same thing happened to me. I just pour some water to clean the watch when it was turned off yesterday. Today it begun not showing anything on screen and later its tactile display is no responding. Also, as some of you pointed, there is small drops of water in the light sensor.

I feel really disappointed...

you need to have root access ! if you do then try this !

by downloading the S5 secsettings.apk and replacing the original secsettings.apk which located in system/priv-app

reboot your phone and you will have the S5 settings, and you can use the Download Booster, but the settings will crash if you go to the Finger Print For obvious reasons ;)

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain Sweatpants:
I haver already fixed this so I'm just looking for ideas/speculation I am running 4.1.2 and rooted via Doomlords exploit now as I had to RMA this phone due to a hardware problem I opened super su and selected unroot and cleanup. On getting the phone back I tried re rooting several times with no effect. I eventually had to use PCC to "repair" my firmware and in doing so all my data was wiped. Not too much of a prob as everything's in cloud storage. Then the exploit worked and I have root access back. My question is why would it not re root and why did it then work after re flashing the firmware?

I've never used a phone without a microsd card. It's pretty useful to be able to flash a rom from a microsd so that you don't need to keep your working copies on the device all the time... they take up alot of space.

Do any of the custom recoveries support reading off of a microsd card reader?

Wall Space is a live-developed game that has the point of (currently) moving around your character

I am going to update the app whenever I have time

Version 1.5

What I am wanting this to be is a very basic RPG with multiple maps and NPCs and possibly monsters... but that's just my plans

The game now is very basic anyway, it has no graphics except for the obnoxious icon which I need to figure out and the player is just a @ sign, the map is very easily modifyable though, you can edit the map in map.lua by adding array objects and then build the app via the Corona SDK that you can download here.

It is currently on no app store (I am planning to put it on Google play when I get the money to make a developer account) but you can download the app here :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tdnmq6uwg0lj6r2/Wall Space.apk

#1 edit! There are now text dialogues you can use with getTold(string) ! You can get the latest version on github!

#2 edit! Now there are npcs and an action button! Walk up to a "#" sign (who is an npc) and press the action button to get a text! You can adapt this feature easily by getting the newest build on GitHub.

The app is written in Lua using Corona Sdk and is currently in version <I lost track, you need to look in the config.lua to find the changelog>

The official github page of the project is here :

http://github.com/Tanashii/massive-octo-wallhack.git

Aaaand you can view a preview of the 1.5 here!

Is this planned for a medieval styled of look to it? I see a lot of people using corona sdk, it must be really great.
[Android Apps and Games] pencil42:
No, I am planning for it to be a very basic RPG with battles like Pokemon or something, and yes, corona SDK is very simple, you just write a bit of code, and run it in the simulator, it even has its own bloody physics engine!

You can view the physics engine in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AJS1z3bXuc

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miki800:
Rooted 2.3

turned off 3G

turned on builtin hotspot

connected laptop and pc

most ports are blocked

had to use openvpn to go around that problem, but feels like an over kill

I just learned recently that the ip address range the dhcp server provides for the connecting wifi peers

is hard coded into the rom and can not be changed if using the built in hotspot program.

but it feels unreasonable that the useable ports range is so tiny and unconfigureable as well,

because many apps can define new ports for their own use, right?

my basic example would be any droid-torrent client out there.

basically what I'm trying to do - is run synergy (which require certain, changeable ports to be allocated for it's traffic - it shares mouse and keyboard over the network) between the pc and the laptop using the android's wifi

which works fine using the vpn server, but I would rather it worked without.

thanks a bunch! ^_^

Seeking hep with an odd issue, it seems gps functionality has stopped working entirely for me.

I am using arhd 52.0 4.4.2 stock this stock that s-on config the only thing i have done to this phone is as follows

unlock boot-loader as per htc inst

install twrp

flash arhd 52.0

gps will not lock onto any satellites whatsoever. if i use "gps status" app from the playstore i can see 15-22 satellites but never connect to any of them. I tried restoring my rom backup using twrp to test on the stock setup and its the same issue so i went back to arhd for the time being. I have tried deleting gps data and re-downloading as many of the guides to obtaining a gps fix suggest but to no avail. I found a list of htc troubleshooting codes online http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683634 intended for the one X that include gps test and reset. the test code ##4772579# entered into the dialer app returns the message "connection problem or invalid mmi code"

can somebody with working gps enter this code and post the result... "conncion problem" worries me

i dont know if the gps was actually working or not... i just got this phone back on 3/3/14 from the "futuretel" repair center for telus htc phones in the gta. I flashed it immediately after recieving it back without first testing the gps function. had sent it in for repair after a battery issue, the phone actually shorted and melted the battery pack/charger port and the repair company replaced the [m101] main board [m201.2] rigid flex board (fpc board) and [g117] camera back on

are there any more troubleshooting steps i can take before i send the phone back to the repair center for a suspected faulty gps chip...

Is it possible for someone to create cyanogenmod for sp?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KelleyCook:
If you actually want CM10 which was JellyBean 4.0, then the answer is no.

But there are weekly releases of Cyanogenmod 10.1, 10.2 and 11 (Android 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 respectively) are available from the FreeXperia folks (this is the team that contributes Sony device updates to Cyanogenmod). The FXP3xx code is just means year 3, week XX. So this weeks is FXP311

Links to each of them are a their site: http://fxpblog.co/qualcomm-krait-200-family-2nd-gen/sony-xperia-sp/

I also would expect get.cm to start serving official nightlies for CM11 relatively soon. They have a website, but no builds yet: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_huashan

For now stick with CM10.2. CM11 is not real stable.

Where i can find this ROM ?

Indeed, I try to put the ROM 2.3.5 Photon my original because I tried to put the ROM Electrify but I have no wifi ... so the original hand seems be the best alternative. The bootloader is locked from the OTA 2.3.5 so I can not put JB.

[Motorola Photon 4G] TheodreyZ:
I do not mind but I can not install bootstrap ...

I get an error every time

I reflash the sbf 2.3.5 USC_19 and the wifi works

Super User has not seem to work and bootstrap still does not install.
[Motorola Photon 4G] whizinc:
what error do you get?

I am not a developer just have some experience on photon 4g as i have been through alot locked etc things with this phone

I will guide you through it

NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE OR ETC YOU DO THIS METHOD ON YOUR OWN RISK!

First of all flash the rom that works well on your phone do a complete factory reset and Download this torpedo direct zip which i attached for you and remove all the Superuser apps if necessary from torpedo zip then RE-ROOT your phone with the torpedo method you just have to type some commands in it... It will guide you through it.

Then download droidx2 bootstrap you have to download it first then install it through a file explorer Root is required

as soon as you install the bootstrap apk .. Install it wait for it to confirm then hook your phone with a Wall Socket charger (AC Charger) and allow permission to bootstrap then in bootstrap press to go in recovery which will be the second option in it.. your phone will be rebooted to bootstrap from there flash the sbf you want to..! DONE!

Note: Make sure you flash the correct SBF if you flash any wrong SBF you might get bricked! Good luck :good:

[Motorola Photon 4G] whizinc:
"Do not forget to calibrate the battery - it means - install, boot, (maybe reboot), charge 100%, wipe battery stats and /data/battd folder, discharge to 0% without any reboot (but you can use it ofcourse), plug your charger while holding power button to bypass charge only mode, do not unplug your charger or do not reboot, until it is 100% and use it anyhow you like...

Then you can complain about battery. It means, not sooner than 2 days after installation. :P

This calibration is not needed because of battery (it is lithium battery), but because of not very good Moto power statistics management. Battery can be charged anytime you like, but the phone can show only estimated battery values, based on charging and discharging.

You can use this Battery Fix app for wiping."

make sure you follow these steps.. this must be the problem and make sure you are using a proper recovery i think bootstrap can not flash these types of zips.. i guess dont know correctly
