[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakron:
Was trying to install TWRP with Freegee but that didn't work. Tried ADB to install TWRP and used ADB to boot to recovery. After LG logo everything went black. Disconnect battery and then booted again. Then tried OTA to Kitkat (from JB) and now nothing works. When power on LG logo shows and then just black.

When I plug in the usb, Windows asked to format drives (I think partitions) I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,V,U in phone before it can read it. Same thing happens when trying download mode. Does it mean everything is corrupted? Beyond saving? Thanks for any suggestions.

Update: Fixed. Can't imagine its that simple! I was doing OTA from 10o to 10q when it bricked with symptoms described in this thread. I followed the instructions but still nothing.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
The screen by itself is the biggest battery drainer of the whole device. The screen itself is 1920x1080.

If you use software to put it into 1280x720 or even lower the screen itself will still be 1920x1080.

All the 1920x1080 pixels need to be enabled, regardless of the resolution set by the software.

Ergo: has no use, to save battery. Best way to conserve battery is to leave the screen off.

Just got my z2 and noticed a small gap on the speaker Grill the top of the phone? Is this for the phone microphone or LED light? Just want to make sure it's not a defect and water gets in.

Take a look at the pic (if I uploaded it correctly...)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyleSforza:
I'm sure it must be for the LED. Its easy to test tho, just turn phone on and email yourself from your computer. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darigaaz12:
The led shows underneath the whole center of the speaker grill. So not sure if that's the reason.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sentinel196:
Mine doesn't have that gap. The speaker grille is uniform across the entire speaker hole on mine.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darigaaz12:
Interesting, I noticed that the LED was being blocked by this "gap" so I got a small paperclip and poked at it. Looks like this might be a rubber gasket. All the tear down photos don't show the screen being removed so can't tell exactly. I'm guessing this might just be cosmetic but until I dip it in water I can't really tell.

So I read on msmobiels.com that Activesync 4.2 is released. I've been using the public beta for a while so I think to myself, why not install the final version?

http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5352.html

So I install, everything goes as planned, hook up my device and BOOM no more network connection. Both my wired and wireless cards go haywire, no possibility of recovering need to turn my computer off completely and restart.

What's even scarier is that apparently it does something so completely wrong that my WLAN router adds my laptop to it's automatic exclusion list.

I've gotten used to this crap which is called Activesync, I've had some serious problems with it in the past but I've taken those for granted but this just takes the cake. This makes it useless for me!

Does anybody over at Redmond even take the time to think about any of the features or maybe even test the software before they put it out there? Why is it so hard for them to make a piece of software which just works?!

You would only need a Sim card if you went to T-Mobile or At&t.

I didn't know that Sprint gave out the nexus 5 for two years on contract, considering its a contract free phone. But it will definitely last you two years. I don't really foresee some game changing features coming out with phones in the coming year (s5, HTC one m8) and you will have the best support by developers so you will always have the latest android version.

I'm also on Sprint. Here's what you need to do, when you get the phone just make sure the uicc (sim) card is in the phone so you can fully activate it. Otherwise you won't be able to get LTE. If you don't have it just go to a store and get one. That's it. All nexus 5 are the same, so feel free to dive into any sort of rom you like. If you do, make sure unlocking the bootloader is the first thing you do. You don't want to set the phone up all nice then have to do it all over again because it gets wiped when unlocking the bootloader.

With this tool you can make your own theme for stock LG Optimus G. This is official tool from LG. The program is really simple, you can use .png or .ico to change icons.

I tested this on my E975 using Artmod ROM. This also works for stock LGOG. Just follow instruction below

INSTRUCTIONS:

I'm using windows 7 64, JDK 6u41 which can be downloaded here: JDK 6u41

After you created a theme, Export the file, copy the apk to your phone and install it normally.

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If you're addicted to flashing and using custom roms, you should surely scrap your plans of buying a M8... Believe me, the development wound't be as good as it is over here... Besides that, I really don't think a $300+ premium is worth paying for a m8 over the Nexus :silly: But that's my opinion though :D
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
I'm not big into flashing, but I always root.

But it is true, no other device will ever get more development support than the Nexus line.

I'm not to big on adding $250 to my order for the M8 either (I ordered the wireless charger), but I feel the S801 would get the speed on par with my iPhone 5s. Right now, the Nexus is just a smidge slower on ART.

It'll take a little more thought though, and I do have time.
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
I own both Nexus 5 and iPhone 5s. I find my Nexus more responsive and fluid. I use nova launcher though and it's liquidity smooth compared to the iPhone launcher. Just got to experiment with roms and kernels till you find the sweet spot. I recommend elemental for performance and Battery life. Really makes for a nice smooth experience. I'm on dalvik too. Remember the iPhone loads up cached images of apps before the app even loads. This makes it look like the app opened up really fast but it's just an image until the app actually loads. Sneaky bastards trying to make iOS look like it's fast. Open an app and try to interact with it instantly and watch how you can do anything for some time.
