If it initially hit on a corner and then landed on it's face, that is two impacts. The sad truth is, the larger a piece of glass, the easier it is to break unless the thickness of the glass is increased.

Hello All,

Yes I am a newby here and I have tried to search for my answers so please do not flame me too bad.. I have an 8125 on Cingular service that has the origional ROM and I would like to upgrade it. I have reviewed the post and they are really hard to follow as they split off to multiple threads and almost always assume that you know the correct steps to follow.

Has anyone posted a "how to" for those of us that are new here? If not would someone like to talk me through it?

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luupocok:
My friend has a Defy, and I have tried to install Kitkat to it. I was almost successful, but gapps dont go it, and booting is very-very slow.

I figured it out that there is a recovery error: cant mount /cache, and cant format is. I think cache is needed to boot faster.

And I cant to install any aps because "no internal memory space available"

I made a full wipe before install, format sd, system, data... etc.

When kitkat boots, statusbar is OK, quickbar OK, so i can enter Settings, do connect wifi, bluetooth, etc, but I have no launcher. Internal memory seems to be 68MB (defy has 2GB i think).

After restart, all changes lost.

Do u have any idea to re-create /cache partition (i have TWRP) and make internal SD visible to OS?

Thank u in advance

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withoutclass:
So I'm having USB related issues with my Nexus 5 after waking up today. The phone will not charge if powered on. It will not detect a USB connection while powered on either. Currently running stock rom/bootloader. The will charge while powered off, but only for period of around 10s, before the screen turns off then back on for another 10s period of charging, over and over. I'm trying to complete returning to stock on my device because to me it seems to be a hardware related issue. So now the crux of the problem.

To check if you phone can be unlocked, follow the steps below:

First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.

In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

Well, different PCs can act differently to different hardware, software, drivers, etc.

Just curious... what PC you have (Specs)... and if you have installed Intel RST (Rapid Storage Technology)? This Intel RST is a real piece of crap that is supposed to help boost your SSD and other drives (though mostly for RAID)... but seems too many people have headaches with it. I just built a new PC with these drivers that came with my motherboard... and it gave me a bunch of problems with my Note2 being detected (even with Samsung USB drivers installed). Finally I got rid of it, and presto, everything fine again.

I am looking for the same thing.

Any one know of any how-to's?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Phoney:
It's very simple.

Connect the phone to your PC with the USB cable

CID unlock the phone

SIM unlock the phone

Double-click the upgrade ROM on your PC - it automatically installs

Restore your settings to your phone

You only need to unlock the CID and SIM once. There's a program called lokiwiz which you can download from this board. It runs in text mode, but it's very simple... just be sure to un-zip it to the root of your C:\ drive (it must be C:\Lokiwiz, don't put it in your Program Files folder).

You run Lokiwiz twice, once to SIM unlock and again to CID unlock. There are several threads here about how to run this software; the only "gotcha" is that it only works on the older software (which your phone has now).

After your install the new ROM, your phone is "factory clean." All of your phone numbers and settings are gone, so you have to restore them.

To restore your settings:

Run ActiveSync to restore your contacts and appointments

Go into the e-mail app to re-configure your e-mail settings

Re-install any add-on software you were using
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] WeldingRod:
I literally just got my 8125 a week ago, I haven't had time to do much with it yet either. I have downloaded just about every file I think I will need, and I already have a bluetooth headset, and bluetooth GPS mouse :-)

Personally I think we should all back-up our phones right now before doing anything else, hah.

I'm currently searching on how to do this, I have downloaded Wiz backup.

Also I just want to add I currently have:(when booting up phone)

IPL 1.08

SPL 1.08

Radio 01.09.11

OS 1.8.11.1

Looking under device information:

ROM ver./Date : 1.8.11.1 WWE / 11/24/05

Protocol version: 4.0.13.20

Extended Rom version: 1.8.11.103

So I'm also researching "from where my device is starting" what is the best ROM or software upgrade to perform, and unlock tool to use.

Any information is much appreciated, good luck to us beginners, and thanks for any more experience on advice taking proper precautions backing up, in a way that will definately restore original software and settings.

I really don't need a $400.00 brick!

Here is how I started at this site

Start with http://wiki.xda-developers.com/ the wiki pages are a great source for the basics on unlocking, acronyms, general information and questions. It made reading and understanding the threads much easier. I may be a geek but I’m no programmer. I’ve flashed my phone half dozen times & yes I have screwed it up a couple times by not following the instructions, but never “bricked” my phone.

My philosophy has always been RTFM (Read the F___ Manual)…. Well since the Cingular manual and inside scoop on how these HTC phones operate & program was non existent, welcome to the biggest online manual available! It may not be the best organized and simplest to follow, but man there’s a lot of good information here.

Good luck & welcome to the board!!

Just wondering whether there is any fix for the bluetooth issue on 4.3 roms. I can connect my phone to car without any issues, but cant syn contacts or answer/reject calls via steering wheel. If not, is it possible perhaps to copy bluetooth related files over from 4.2?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbert:
Quite the same problem here. I can pair the XZ with my Car's device (ego flash), but I can't synch the phonebook.

I already deleted the Bluetooth setting on both devices, nothing helps :(

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bschoeneck:
I'm having exactly the same problems.

And it seems as if every android update on my xperia z fixes some bluetooth bugs and brings up some new ones. After each update, my phone behaves differently in my car.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bc1151:
I had the exact same issue, (to give a little more detail) it causes you to either drop wifi connection when on bluetooth or vice versa and i had just bought a sony smart watch that ran off of bluetooth.I never found a fix from sony. What i did do to fix it was flash myself the latest eXistenZ rom, it worked perfectly and both my smartwatch and wifi could work at the same time :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebi673:
Same song different dance

My issues with 4.3 update are related to the poor performance of the bluetooth driver on audio connect.

I have downgraded to 4.2 because i use bluetooth headphones and i have 2 bluetooth speakers, that with the 4.3 are almost useless because:

Low volume output over bluetooth, quality of the audio is a bit down, and most important for a heavy sleeper, the bluetooth speakers are working only with music/video soundtracks, they are not ringing anymore on phone calls, alarms, notifications.

Please, anyone, put the 4.2 bluetooth driver somewhere, flashable or i dont know, i tried everything, but i guess the best option is to install the 4.2 bluetooth driver on 4.3. Is it possible?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbert:
Now I found an workaround for me. I deleted all the photos inside the contacts ( about 8 or 9 contacts of 331 had a photo inside). Phone-Book sync and sending contacts separately is working now. Not perfect, but OK for the moment.

Could this be a problem with Android 4.3 ? I never had that before with my Defy, Razr i, Wiko Darkmoon or Alcatel OT6040D.

So nightmare scenario, dropped my DNA across the metal transition between carpet and vinyl floors and completely shattered the screen. When I push the power button I get a faint grey color that indicates the phone is responding, but the screen is too far gone to display anything. The phone is rooted, and I believe I have TWRP installed. Is there any way to get my data off this phone? I activated my old Incredible (has it always been this small?!), so I have a phone, but I have pictures, videos and other files I would like to retrieve from the DNA with no apparent means to do so. Do I have any options other than ordering a screen/digitizer replacement and trusting my repair skills?

[HTC Droid DNA] MyBrainHurts:
Turns out Boogadaboogadaboogada is too long...

When I hook it up I get the Verizon install crap. I have always had to unlock the phone and allow debug mode to enable it to function as a USB device and see files and folders. Obviously, that's not in the cards right now...
[HTC Droid DNA] jgraves12:
Alright, well there's the adb push/pull commands but that'd probably have the same problems that mass storage has.

http://www.herongyang.com/Android/adb-push-and-pull-Command.html

Do you have adb set up on your computer? See if "adb devices" recognizes your phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] MyBrainHurts:
Well, I was able to get something figured out over my lunch hour. I have an MHL->HDMI converter which I hooked up to my TV. That allowed me to verify that the phone was working and the digitizer was responding. I found out a while back that a small ziplock bag works wonderfully if there's a chance of rain since it's watertight and still allows the screen to respond to touches. I used one to protect my finger from all the glass edges. I then hooked the USB cord to a computer, blindly swiped the notification bar down and poked in the area where I remember the USB debugging line to be. Luckily enough, I managed to gain access. Not the easiest way of doing things, but it worked.

Now I just have to decide whether to fix the phone or burn an upgrade on another line to keep my unlimited data. Verizon's launch of the "The New One" might play into that decision...
[HTC Droid DNA] jgraves12:
That's awesome man. Glad you got everything figured out.

Yeah that phones gonna be awesome. Everyone b****ing about the black bar at the bottom but it doesn't bother me at all. That's definitely gonna end up being my next phone unless somehow Verizon gets the Xperia Z2.

Hi all . Wishing you all a happy holi.

Well as the thread says and since its holi (no explanation required) my phone seems to have shutdown after my friends and I were playing with a water pipe and I (for kicks) hosed my Xperia Z full of water.

After reading a few threads I came to understand that there are damage strip indicators on all panel flaps.

The micro SD flip is still white but the charger/usb cable and headphone jack flaps have turned pink,

The phone also crashed sometime after I hosed it with water and is not powering up.

So what should I do now?

Currently I'm on the advice of 3 friends using the rice method. I have opened all flaps of the phone and submerged it in a bowl of rice so that it dries out all the moisture. I intend to keep it the whole night and try powering it up in the morning.

Options:

1. Try the rice method and hope it works (yay)

2. After failing point 1, keep it in the sun/blower/hair dryer method and try again to power it up,

3. Take it to the Sony Service Center in Lajpat Nagar (I'm from New Delhi) and give it for repair.

P.S - My phone is rooted and running cyanogenmod. Will they charge me extra If I happen to give it for repair when they find out I'm running a custom mod.

I'm asking because Sony does weird things. When I bought the phone last year I dropped it on the ground and scratched a corner. Not too much but the phone was only 3 months old and I felt bad about it so I thought I get the body changed for a small fee.

Turns out Sony does not replace the phone body instead the executive simply told me to pay 50% of the price and I could get a whole new phone since the Xperia's body cannot be changed.

Kindly help!

Thank You

THIS THREAD SHOULD BE CLOSED. PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED.

My gratitude to the people who were kind enough to reply to my private messages.

Point no. 1 worked.

I covered the phone in rice in a plastic bowl and left it for a whole day in my car where it got heated.

After that I tried powering it on. Seeing as I had already pretty much destroyed the phone I decided to give it one last shot on charging the phone which I hadn't done in case it short circuits and voila! The red light turns on and my phone is charging.

No problems detected.

Network/3G is working. Tried whatsapp, sms and used the camera and music player. Speakers are fine too. Same goes for the screen. Seems no damage done to the phone at all. Will need to change the screen guard though. Its become moist. I'll use the phone and reply on how the battery has been performing.

I'm sold. This is a SOLID PHONE. And I was worried that I'd have to shell out 15-20k because the damage indicators on the 2 flaps had turned pink.

Try flashing a Sense 5 custom ROM instead? Maybe ARHD or MaximusHD?

Since they're bot based on stock with little to no changes made to it and they have better battery life than stock too...
