[Nexus 5 Accessories] Gorgtech:
Hello,

many of you may know the problem. You need a good bike mount for your Nexus 5 which has to be:

- reliable

- durable

- has to offer a tight fit

- hold your phone safe, no matter how risky you may ride your bike

- has to be able to be used with ANY case

Well, sounds quite impossible ? There are some cheap, generic bike mounts made out of cheap plastic which may break if you just stare at them :D

I want to show you my idea of creating a durable, functional bike mount for your phone. It may not be the best looking on earth but it is made from the scratch out of spare material and without any special tools.

The tools you may need:

- Dremel or similar clone

- Drilling machine

- Sanding paper

Needed materials are up to you ;)

Ok, here are some pictures of how such a mount may look like. I´m sorry for the bad quality, I´ve used my Nexus 7 cam for shooting them which somehow makes me look like a "padhole" .

My bike mount can hold a Nexus 5 + a Spigen Slim Armor case. Since I owned 2 TPU inlays, I´ve used the defective one as a damper. Well, much better than just throw it away :angel:

I´ll add some more pictures with the bike mount attached on my bike later. Just in case you´ve wondered if you could still use the USB port and the built in microphone and speaker, I´ve also cut the openings on the bottom ;)

What´s the point of building a bike mount ? If you get lost, you can use your phone as a navigation device, this was the main goal :D

Our phone is playstation certified right?what does it mean?can i play psp games?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
No..It means you can use a controller on it
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohmygel:
Is that the only thing we can do in our phone?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
You can download an emulator from google play store and play games ^_^...
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eferrari.:
Playstation Certified means, that you can download an app called Playstation Mobile. It is an app store with many indie games and most of them are not from the PS, just normal android games for this app store. Some do cost, some don't. http://m.us.playstation.com/playstationmobile/

And the Dualshock Controller compatibility is something different. The Xperia SP was the first smartphone that supported it without downloading any extra app and just connect it from the settings. Most Xperia's that had an update after the release of the SP(only the Z series, I suppose) do have the functionality now too.

Hey Guys

After upgrading to kitkat i noticed that i cant move or copy files from external storage to sd card. How can i Fix İt? Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiyeon90:
You need to use the built in file manager to do that now, Google hates SD cards so they made so that 3rd party apps can not write or edit anything in the SD card

I assume with no custom recovery we can't flash font packs (although I've read a couple places freegee can be used to flash cwm or twrp) if a custom recovery isn't an option right now how can we change all fonts globally to the one we choose.. I'd like to have Droid Sans. does iFont work with this phone?

I've never used adb to push anything but I do have font packs that worked with 4.2 and 4.3. they were flashable packs. could I adb push these font packs and it work? I have adb installed so do I just use cmd to input the codes?
[LG G Flex] deadenz:
If I used root browser from rom toolbox pro (system/fonts) and my phone is currently set to the SmartGothic font would I just need to replace those smart gothic fonts with the droid sans ttf files? do I need to change any other files in system/fonts?
[LG G Flex] deadenz:
if anyone is interested android tweaker 2 has a font addon option for $1.23 and it does work to change your fonts.
[LG G Flex] reeher3287:
I've been using tweaker 2 for while too. Bit scared to use it for fonts an etc since we don't have a back up lol.

Am I clear on understanding you have used it to change fonts on the flex? And have you tried zip aligning or installing the bravia engine through It?
[LG G Flex] deadenz:
yes the font addon works (att d950). make sure in your system settings the 'roboto' font is chosen. that's what this addon replaces. and no I haven't used it for the bravia engine or zip aligning anything. just enabled a few tweaks and had no problems with it so far. I know there isn't a backup but you can always go back to stock if something messes up.

I'm using rom toolbox pro also for certain things.. I can confirm youi can change your lcd density without soft bricking. from what I know about other phones it probably won't look right unless you use a custom launcher. I use nova prime
[LG G Flex] reeher3287:
Yeah I know but now a day's I don't have that time lol

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carll:
Hi I have looked on the forums and have found a bit about phone insurance. I stood on my XDA exec ( I know what a c**k) its knackered. The screen has popped the silver bit on the back has come up in one corner and the flip / rotate mech snapped so the screen flaps about in the wind.

Yes I was drunk

Yes I am stupid

Yes I have made a claim.

I have sent it in today to LSG (lloyds tsb phone insurnace). From looking at other web sites my concerns are as follows :-

1) They will not be able to get the parts to repair the exec.

2) If they replace my phone they will not be able to get an O2 one (I know the imate is the same but I like it in black).

From what I have read elsewhere people have had a real issue getting top of the range PDA's fixed (unless its by the network insurance when they mostly get new ones) Most of the time people get offerd a cash settlement.

Has anyone else claimed through Lloyds phone insurance or any other 3rd party insurance and got a replacement phone ?

If they want to settle for a cash sum. How much should it be ??

any help on this would be good ???
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carll:
Have edited my first post to be more specific. Anyone ??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carll:
here is the answer to anyone who is interested. they tried to get me to take a nokia n91 or n80. I said no.

told them I wanted an exec or the cash. after about 10mins of holding ect I got a supervisor who tried to tell me how good the 91 was. I still said the same. put on hold again.

they came back on and said your exec is in the post.

here's the deal. full new boxed o2 xda exec.

I got my first on in feb 05. this one feels much more solid. the screen flip is much tighter it has come with new rom installed. seams faster.

phone signal is better.

the whole unit seams much more soild than the first one??

could it have been that my first unit was a recon ?

anyway very happy
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carll:
:( :( :( :( :(

It seams I spoke to soon. The screen has started to flicker (brown lines jumping all over the place) this is very random but the unit has done it about 5 times now.

It will have to go back.

Can I ask for Cash instead of a new phone ??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carll:
Phoned them. Sending it back.

Will make me a cash offer when the get the phone back.

Think im going to go back to Ipaq. Had nothing but problems with this phone.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] andytl:
Hi I have just had my claim paid up by the same insurance (lloyds bank) They told me they do not have any xda replacements and would either give me a nokia n91 or cash settlement I went for the cash they paid me £450 for a xda IIs (ba) £450 is the maximum they pay out so you would more than likely get the same.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carll:
I have been informed by a supervisor today that the max they will pay out is £600. They use GSMarena.com to price up what they pay out. Universal costs around 550 - 650 GBP depending on where you look.

The girl on the phone said they will price it on the day the get the damaged one they sent me back. They have 3 suppliers (she would not name them) and they take the average as the units value. I would think they then knock a bit off.

I expect at least £500.

andytl

How quickly did they pay you. I have read on other sites it takes them ages to sort it out.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] andytl:
If you look on there website it states a maximum figure of £450 I doubt they will go over it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carll:
I am a platinum account holder and should be covered up to 600 GPB

Lloyds TSB insurance

Hi!

I've claimed for 2 Xda2i machines that I lost via lloyds TSB insurance which is part of my gold account. each time they've been great at sorting things out for me.

My last claim they informed me they had no replacements and so like others have already mentioned, went for the cash settlement. They paid me £450.

You can only claim twice in every yearly period so I've used up my 'allocation' as it were! I'll ring them next to see when I'm allowed to claim again if needs be. To minimise my risk, I've started carrying my phones in aluminium cases, in my pocket where they cannot fall out and get lost/broke screens again !

I recommend lloyds tsb insurance via lifestyle services group - quick hassle free insurance !

Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!!

Is "Hide navigation bar per app" still there?

Hi, I've just bought the LG GFlex today. My D955 comes with JB 4.2.2.

I do really love the feature that let me hide the navigation bar per app, I find it extremely useful.

I'm really curious to know whether this setting is still available into the new KitKat update.

Reading that the LG G Pro 2 having already KitKat doesn't have it, although it has a software nav bar, I'm wondering whether this feature is incompatible with KitKat due to its full screen API.

Those of you who already updated their GFlex can please answer this question?

Thanks

kitkat update, looking good

Got my kitkat update yesterday (I'm in the UK with an f340 model). Things I've noticed so far:

Text does look sharper (different font?).

Home screen now available in portrait.

Better way of handling apps in full screen (before there was a small arrow at the bottom of the screen to show the soft keys if you'd chosen to hide them for selected apps. Now you swipe up to show the soft keys - definite improvement).

You can hide the volume and/or brightness sliders in the notification pull down.

You can now say OK Google when you launch Google by swiping up the home key.

Signal strength, and other information in the status bar at the top are now white/light grey (I've already forgotten if they were green before!)

Love this phone!
[LG G Flex] Aratheba:
Great. This means that there still the possibility to hide the nav bar selecting which app to apply this feature to. Thank you so much. ??

Battery drain

Subjectively I noticed an increased battery drain after upgrading to kitkat a couple of days ago. Today I was at 30% by 2.30pm. Usually I'm well above 60% at that time of the day (I was doing more tethering). I had also set up chromecast over the weekend and noticed a sharp increase in battery drain after that. Anyway, I've done a factory reset. At first I thought it was OK, but no. At 8pm I'm at 11%,usually about 40% after a day of heavy use.
