[Sony Xperia M] ricardosteve:
Well I installed this update and I love it. Feels like a new phone, kinda.

About those Xperia Themes, I can get them through Sony Select but then instead of opening the Play Store they open Chrome and download the theme.apk from some website called cloudfront.net something. Then I try to install the theme but it says not installed.

It also asks to check "Uknown Sources". Isn't this weird? Anyone else having the same problem? - When I go on the Web Play Store and try to get the theme it says it's incompatible with all my devices, even though with this update I'm sure it's supposed to support Xperia Themes.

Check "Themes" and there's a plus " + " button on the top-right corner, brings you to Sony Select and official themes are there. But then this happens. Any thoughts? :/ I'd really love to get that TriFlat...

ps: this is pasted from another thread, I guess it's alright to post it here to reach more people. There's already one other person with the same problem.

Hi if anyone is still waiting for 4.3 but don't have it yet, I can show you how to get it without unlocking the bootloader. You only need root. It's very simple too. Read here:

Xperia THEMES is working guys

i think there is some bug or the sony didnt add our device to compatibility list so that normal way is not working

so first we need to root[for that u need unlocked bootloader or if u succeed in finding any other rooting method then no problem]

just download http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip and put this in sd or internal

and flash old kernel with cwm[any stock,cm11,etc]...dont boot...now go to cwm and flash that supersu zip...now u will have root..power off the phone

then again use flashtool to flash only kernel of 4.3 ftf.........

if u dont have ftf [just create one with ur downloaded files in sony pc companion http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2589419]

now download any theme...and use root explorer[any u like] and copy the downloaded .apk's of theme from sdcard0/downloads/ in the /system/app/

and change permission

restart

and i posted this on 3 threads of 4.3 update to spread this dont think as spam please

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dante0397:
So I had an issue with my last L7 II P712, after I installed framaroot I installed a software that helps me recognize my SD Card so that I can install the big sized store games, because it is a "virtual memory" and cannot find it.

After I tried many times with different partitions formats I rebooted and the phone just died in every way possible, couldn't charge, no emergency mode, no hard reboot, basically a Hard Brick.

Well after some time, I got my company to get me a new one and I thought I should root it again, but since I'm not entirely sure if wheter the root caused it or me trying different formats with the SD card (EXT3, EXT4 etc.) or the software that makes my phone recognize the EXT partition; I decided to just root it and not install any of them.

I added the whole ordeal so that maybe someone knows when I ducked up. The thing is, my L7 II P712 does not appear in the compatible list of phones that can use Framaroot; and I can't actually remember if the older one was a P712 as well, but from what I've seen there are some guides to root the P712, but they all link to Framaroot and they all have an old list with the P712 there, but when I look it up in the actual thread it is not there, so I was wondering if I should try it or not, since they took the device off the list for a reason.

Hey guys

Just got the phone today after a long two years with the galaxy s3 and im very impressed over the improvement over the S3 and im glad that I picked this device.

I've noticed that if you look at the light senser on the front that there appears to be what looks like a a screen protecter. Is this correct?

Thank you
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8pozzum:
I think that is just part of the screen that extends over the speaker, sensor, and camera. Plus the screen responds like it is unprotected. I hate screen protectors so you had me scratching on my trying to see if anything would peel off.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xShin:
I think that's just the way the phone is - I also hate screen protectors and you had me worried.. made me triple-check my phone lol.

Haha sorry looking into it, seems to be a small protecter over the light sensor.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMathMan:
Since the KitKat update my camera takes about 3-5 seconds from pressing the button to it taking it.

1. Is this a known issue?

2. Is there a work around?

3. Is there a way to do clean flash without affecting Knox?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Is Smart Stabilisation on or off?

Is Focus before taking shot on or off?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
as [MENTION=3264549]ShadowLea[/MENTION] said, I agree.

But... Did you see a progressbar "processing" after u press button? If yes, maybe u use auto mode?

I normally change to sport mode. It will just shoot directly after u press the button. This mode will bypass by the autofocus, stabilization, low light sensor. As the automode, it will check your focus first, do stabilization (if you on it), and for low light, it will try to adjust the best result first. That's why the processing a bit slow.

On my device, if I do it on a good light condition, and my hand not shaking while taking picture, automode will be fast as sport mode as well. Nothing wrong with KK actually. :)

if you want a clean flash, you can just find a firmware you like on samfirmware, and flash through ODIN. After finish, do a full wipe from recovery (data & cache partition on stock recovery).

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMathMan:
Smart stabilisation was off. All settings set to auto.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
try not to use auto.

because the camera will try its best to give best result with auto setting.

play around with the camera... the note 3 camera is quite good with a lot of setting. :)

To be frank, with all camera apps available at playstore, I've been reducing the usage of my DSLR, and change to note camera, since Note 2.

And now with the Note 3 camera, hehehe... my DSLR has been sitting inside my cabinet for 3 months :cyclops:

And for this Note 3, I've been using just stock cam. No other apps installed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Turn off Auto settings. Particularly the 'Focus before taking shot'.

I detest Stock, much prefer FV5 or CapturePro... But as much as I love my Note it'll never replace my EOS 70D. I'm an abstract photographer, and the Note's camera just isn't the same as a serieus Macro lens ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
hehehe...

I am just do photography as my hobby. Nature is the one I like to shoot. And so far, my canon has been sitting inside my cabinet :p

I agree... FV5 is good. CapturePro never use before.

And I like that cozymag. Especially if add the macro lens (or you can use magnifier to be simple) :p...

Result is great for macro photography.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlashJunkie83:
Hi there to all!!! I've been flashing various Android Roms for a few yrs now & really enjoy trying out new custom roms etc... Now i have a weird problem, Most customs Roms I have tried for my S3 i9300 are great & most 4.3 Roms come with a Custom Kernel such as Beoffla, GoogyMax, devil kernel & so on.... Now the problem is when leaving the CPU at defualt governer & settings everything is fine eg: min 200 & max 1400 but games lag now & again, When setting the CPU min & Max settings to 1400MHz, the results are much better but not for long, The CPU always drops to 800MHz when gaming as i notice the lagg, I've noticed this same thing with just about every kernel & rom ive tried wether its set to 1400 or even overclocked to 1500 or 1600max, I've also tried every trick to make them settings stick , like trickster mod etc, none seem to work for long, its like another system service is interfering with the settings or so.....im pulling my hair out to figure out what this is, I just want the CPU min & max to stay firmly at 1400Mhz or 1500 etc....without changing at all!!!

Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated.... FlashJunkie83

CPU/GPU can under-perform if they get too hot from playing resource-intensive games or apps. Maybe this is the issue.

- High temp will always cause freq throttling since this is how devices are designed. This over-rides whatever the max freq the cpu was designed to run on.

- try undervolting from the boefla config app (if you use the boefla kernel). I use -25mV with almost no difference to performance. Some users have gone on to -50mV but that gave me random freezes and massive lags sometimes.

- Test different governors. I mostly use the default pegasusq and it works well enough. Constantly high freq can affect the CPU in the long-term. So I use max freq of 800mhz and increase it to 1400mhz only when I play games.

- I'm not a fan of SetCPU. It's a great app but i find specific apps (like boeffla config) for kernels to be more precise.

- You can also try a different battery and borrow one from a friend to test it out. I had slight heating issues long ago and changing the battery reduced the heat for me somehow. It was not much, but it was enough for me to notice.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlashJunkie83:
finally fiqured it out, it seems that cynogenmod has a diffrent approach to thermal throttling as ive flashed CM10.2.0 Android 4.3.1 along with Boeffla 2.1 for CM & the issue seems to have gone completely, have been running a performance test on games for best part of the day at 1600MHz with 4 enabled cores & just going back to normal settings for normal daily use, & not 1 issue with throttling, so now im very happy with the smoothness in games although its gets warm, but most high performance CPU's do anyways,So ive come to the conclusion that thermal throttling must be handled more by sammy roms it seems, but got the result i wanted in the end, thanks for all replies tho guys:)

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Uber-Duper:
Hey there, just sold my S4 for an S3 i9305 4G.

The ROM works great, except for the camera app crashing on launch.

When I dial *#34971539# all it says is CameraFirmware Standard, so I can't get the specific model of the camera hardware.

On Alliance ROM i was able to get the camera working, by flashing a stock kernel, going into the camera app, then flashing any custom

kernel and it worked from then on.

Unfortunately, The Galaxy Project is my ROM of choice, because it seems less buggy, but when I try the same trick, the ROM won't boot

with stock kernels...

How do I get the camera to work?

Help!!

if you read the 2nd post from that kernel...CLICK HERE you will see that the developer says clearly that there is a bug with camera... and as you can see he lists there "Possible solutions"....those are not guaranteed to work...wait for him to find the bug...

i use OMNI ROM....camera works perfectly...

[Moto X Q&A] JGoN86:
Ok, I have the att moto x with the locked boot loader. I was talking to my friend and he said att will release your unlock code for free. I'm wondering is that the same thing as the bootloader unlock code or is that just the code so I can move on to another carrier? Is it the same thing?
[Moto X Q&A] sravanz:
I think he might be referring to carrier unlock but not boot loader
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
ATT will supply the SIM unlock code (aka carrrier unlock code, and other names)... This is different than the Bootloader Unlock code which ATT will not provide.

If you want to unlock your bootloader, the Chinese 3rd party (there are threads in the general section, offers unlock codes for Verizon and ATT models.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] xdamini_me:
Hi all,

I have searched hi and low for the resolution to my problem. I have owned a Magician (sold as Xda II Mini) for just under a year and have a 1Gb SD card (eagletec turbo 66x speed) which has worked beautifully until two days ago

File explorer does not recognise the SD card. I have tried the SD card in other devices (e.g. PC - using a card reader, digital camera, dvd player, my friend's pda etc...) and it works fine.

I have tried inserting different SD cards into the Magician and they all get recognised ok.

I have tried soft reset and hard reset to no avail.

I have formatted the SD card using a card reader on the PC (tried both FAT and FAT32) and also tried formatting it in my digital camera.

When I insert the card into the Magician (from power off state), the Magician does light up indicating to me that there is no problem with the spring load mechanism of the expansion slot. What is strange is that when I go to Settings->System->About, I get 'Expansion Slot: Not in use'

I also tried (after a suggestion in another post) to add a "shim" of plastic of paper on the contact side of the SD card. No use.

I am reluctant to flash the ROM as I have not had any other problems with the Magician to warrant it.

Any ideas?

:(

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
Hello, because of my job, I need to use my 15" MacBook Pro daily. However, I also want to buy a tablet so that I can read/annotate pdf files while on public transportation and on the bus stop. In my current city, I spend about an hour each day on the bus and 30-50 minutes waiting at the bus stop. On the evening and perhaps sometimes on the weekend, I prefer to bring a lighter tablet with me.

Every 2-3 months, I stay in another city for a week or so. In that city, I spend about 2 hours on public transportation daily. During the summer, I stay in another country for about 2 months.

At the beginning, I was considering to buy the Note PRO 12.2. However, after trying the wifi version two times (no LTE version in my city yet), I don't find it attractive. For example, a bit heavier, without rooting can't have several windows stacking on top of each other likes Windows OS, not all apps can be multi-tasked, large screen but same resolution as the 10.1 2014, virtual keyboard taking half the screen, etc. Also, if I get a Note PRO 12.2, I have to carry it with my 15" laptop when I am traveling.

So, it seems that my choice is 10.1 2014 or Note PRO 8.4" when available. Is this the right way to think? I hope to make the purchase in about 2 months as I have delayed the purchase since last December.

Although being able to view two pdf files side by side is good, I cannot test it because only one local store has the device. They don't allow connection to the internet. I can't test the device by downloading some pdf files.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Yoshi1221:
I have my note pro in a bag that I carry with me for college and when I am on the bus. Only difference between the note pro and the note 10.1 2014 other than the screen size is the multi window, the note 10.1 can only do 2 windows while the note pro can do up to 4. If you use pen window, you can cheat it and possibly go to 6-7. You can also do that on the note 10.1 as well. If you are looking for a pen tablet, I'd go with the note 10.1 2014 or the note pro, if you plan on wanting portability, then you can go for the tab pro 8.4 :) . I believe all pro series does come with Hancom office, which is like Microsoft Office. That's what sold me to get the note pro. Prices for all of them went down on amazon.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
Thanks. I do need the pen. Too bad Samsung has not made the Note Pro 8.4".
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
I dunno man, I am not the type of person who is motivated to convince others to buy something I did just to feel better about my own purchase decisions. That said I would suggest considering a surface pro 2 for a few reasons:

You mention window stacking as opposed to side by side. Text and interface item scaling in multi-window can behave oddly in some apps that you force to do it once rooted.

You mention comparing pdf documents of the same type at the same time; out of the box you can do this with windows but you'll have to force android to do it and I personally haven't tried it so I'm not sure how well apps behave when you do.

You want to do heavy PDF annotation. I've spent a lot on pdf applications and can never find one that works well for this. The best that I have found FOR ME is Easy PDF. I do engineering plan reviews and the plan sets I open for review can have hundreds of sheets (300 sheets that are 24"x36" are not uncommon). All of the apps that I have tried work slowly and are clunky with my large files.

The thing is, aside from size none of the other complaints you have about the note pro will go away when you switch to a smaller note tablet.

At least with the surface pro you are getting a full fledged OS that out of the box will do much of the things that you want. Virtual keyboards though are by nature par for the course with tablets (and the tab pro has size options on the keyboard just like other Android devices have) although with the surface there are some elegant keyboard case options. It's all subjective of course, I don't like large keyboard cases that increase the size of the tablet so much that they look like netbooks.

All that said I do enjoy my note pro and I am satisfied with my sacrifices on the productivity side (plan review) which are outweighed by the entertainment value of the device. I simply love android and customizing my android devices.

Edit:

Just want to add that I fully realize that just because I can't do everything that I want to do with regards to productivity applications doesn't mean others can't do what they want to do. A lot of threads end up getting filled with debates over what works well and what doesn't but at the end of the day while there may be some basic commonality among workflows everyone has different needs so the only way to truly know is to try to use the device yourself. Retailers with flexible return policies are a great way to do that.
