[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BakedGoodsX:
Hey,

A month ago (March 16th) I ended up losing/having my phone stolen from a party. The next day I tried the mXperia locator/Google locator--nothing (phone was probably dead).

Knowing I did not have a pattern lock (I know, I know), I quickly changed my passwords etc. and got a new phone.

Fast forward to this Sunday (April 13th), I get two emails from myXperia:

First: My phone had been wiped, everything erased

Second: The phone had been located on March 31st

So naturally I logged into myXperia, and to my surprise it located the phone. I then send an lock command, then an erase command. I got an email within minutes saying the phone was locked, since then it hasn't been able to locate the phone.

My questions:

1) If the phone was wiped, how was I able to still track it? Was the email sent in error, and the device in fact not wiped? Or does myXperia tracking remain even after a phone reset?

2) Why did myXperia locate it on March 31st, but email me two weeks later? Does it store tracking data constantly then wait for internet connection to send out?

3) The lock seemed to work (got an email saying so), but the erase did not email me a second time stating the phone was erased--yet I've been unable to track it since. Any thoughts?

Basically, if you guys have had experience using MyXperia to track/locate a phone, let me know what you think about this situation. I'm not too interested in actually getting the phone back, I just foolishly did not have a pattern lock on the phone, so I'm anxious to know if my data has been erased or not, especially considering I could still track it a month later (why is the thief not resetting the phone?)

Thanks,

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScrapMaker:
I'm sitting here at my desk near the Texas State Capitol, where my HTC M7 normally gets LTE service, (albeit fringe, but still.) For some reason my shiny new Sprint Galaxy S5 is only getting fringe 3G coverage. When I pick it up, I lose data completely. Riding the elevators resulted in dropped service completely. Not a great first impression. I have updated the PRL and profile to no avail.

Is anyone else noticing reduced signal compared to other manufacturers?

try a Factory Cable (Fastboot Cable)

see Kindle Fire Factory Cable
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JynxRD:
My son's Kindle started doing the same things. None of the Kindles are rooted so I started doing some research and tried using Kindle_Fire_Utility_v0.9.9. However every time I try to enter fastboot I get the error that:

"failed to copy 'files\fbmode' to '/data/local/fbmode': no space left on device"

Now, is it truly completely out of space (which I wouldnt doubt with my 7 year old) and if so will I not be able to fix this no matter what?

Or is that not the case and ordering a factory cable would do the trick? I'll order it if it means fixing this much easier but I just didn't want to drop the $15 without knowing if that space error is going to still be an issue.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
which opton where you trying 3? install TWRP?

try power off kindle, start kindle fire utility, select option 3, connect/power on kindle.

if that doesn't work there is a coupe of other options, see my UnBricking Tools list

if it does work

KFU will install TWRP version 2.5.0 you can not reinstall stock rom with that, you can try wiping Cache and/or Data.

if you want stock you will need to downgrade TWRP to 2.2.2.1, just download zip-otter-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze(sd_shadow).zip and install in current TWRP.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JynxRD:
Doesn't matter the option. If I choose option 1 to attempt to enter fastboot (as the status currently says its in 4000 not 4002) or if I choose options 3 to install recovery, I still get:

Installing TWRP...

If we get stuck here for awhile, power the kindle on and off a few times.

You should also check device manager for "kindle" If so, rerun the driver

installer that came packaged with KFU.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JynxRD:
Anyone have any other suggestions. Seems like my only problem is this space error or I'd be able to complete the unbricking process.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
did you lookk @ [fastboot] stock 6.2.1 fastboot mode without rooting or cables?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JynxRD:
Yes but it still requires me to perform

"adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp"

which produces

failed to copy 'files\fbmode' to '/data/local/tmp/fbmode': No space left on device

And I can't wipe any files without root. So it looks like I may need that factory cable, assuming that gives me access to clear up space without root.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
and you tried starting KFU option 3, then turning on kindle fire?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JynxRD:
Yes, While it's ON

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
no, fastboot cable just boots kindle to fastboot mode, where you can flash twrp recovery, which is what the fbmode file would do if you could push it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JynxRD:
So if there isn't enough space on your Kindle to push the file 'fbmode' to it, your pretty much screwed with a brick? I tried searching the web over and over for anyone else experiencing this. With such a small space available I can't believe this hasn't been ran into multiple times.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
The twrp recovery will be flashed over recovery partition, space available does not matter
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JynxRD:
So what do you think I should try next? Maybe just ordering the factory cable?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anjow:
Does anyone know where I can get a writeshield for my XDA Exec in the UK?

So far I have only found Expansys and they are very expensive...

Can anyone recommend somewhere better? Big bonus points if they also do a car charger for under £10.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
I've been safe and happy with ebay... but with selected retailers.

I just ordered an invisibleSHIELD for my PSP, I'll try to review it shortly. Including worldwide delivery = £8. Apparently indestructable and lifetime replacement.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anjow:
My problem is that I don't know what screen size the Exec is, or which will fit it. I was just saying writeshield because I'd previously had one for my Alpine and it was very good.

Basically I just want a decent screen protector for under £10 excluding delivery, I'm open to suggestions.

Hi!

I have tried googling my question and I find different solutions for this, but I am a sceptic and I only trust the xda forum when it comes to this :P

Where can I get the I9295 stock rom for my phone and what is the best way to completely wipe the phone and install the rom?

-Sindre
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baaldfg:
If you have a custom recovery you can install the stock rom from there. The factory reset is also available. After an OTA update the custom recovery will be gone. The problem is the triangle. I don't know if there is one and how to reset it.

The only problem is getting the stock rom. I am also interested in that as I want to update the baseband through the OTA update.

[One (M8) General] rushless:
Don't throw stones!

I can see a good market for the same chipset, smaller form factor and less weight. The depth camera is gone, but that reduces the size. If it also has a replaceable battery, that would be good too. Plus the micro sd slot and 32gb......

Seems a stretch to the point of snapping.
[One (M8) General] NJGSII:
Nothing wrong with plastic at all. If HTC can offer a great phone like this at a cheaper price point like that would provide they should go for it.

i've become used to a 4500 mah battery in my s3 lasting 12+ hours of heavy game/internet/video use. really want to try the m8 but afraid of the non user replaceable battery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Short of cutting off the back of the case, and trying to solder a new battery in, and finding one that will work with your phone...no. However, since it's not a user replaceable battery, you kind of answered yourself.

More than likely you'll be able to get a special case with included external battery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
Sure, follow the instructions here: :silly:

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+(M8)+Teardown/23615

Then try to find a larger battery that will fit into the existing space.

Good luck, you're going to need it! ;)

NOTE: All kidding aside, there's a reason it's called a non-removable battery!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JasonJoel:
If you need that big of a battery, do not get any phone with non - removable battery. Period.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Get u a external power bank battery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] k.electron:
but this phone is so effin good - s-off means cyanogenmod, which the darned s5 is not going to get.

looked at the ifixit... remove the motherboard to get to the battery that is glued to the lcd.. wtf.. just put the god damn batter at the end so i can replace it HTC wtf.....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] l7777:
This is the solution. Anker makes a 3000 mAh option that is barely bigger than the 18650 battery inside it. If that's not enough power, they offer options all the way up to 12000 mAh.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rushless:
It is a true unibody metal design. The answer from a cost and modding standpoint is "no way" and the only practical solution is a power pack.

BTW, it would seem HTC must be eating some healthy margin with this design strategy. The build seems too good and that usually comes at a cost. Wonder what their financial quarter results will be for the next two cycles. My education and work background is industrial technology and computer electronics. The M8 cost implications give my brain twitches. Not just the material cost, but the actual manufacturing process and design cost. Yikes.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
No, MS made it so that's always on. I think it's because people got confused when the jump lists started suddenly appearing after they installed some apps.

Two relevant points:

1) Why have a smartphone if you're not installing any apps or even adding things like multiple email accounts?

2) You realize you can jump to the bottom of the list with two taps, right? It's a *jump* list, not just an index.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsme3:
hi guys, i just got my galaxy s5 2 days ago,

i can tell it seems nice, but?

1- the tapping sometimes seems not callebrated!! like when i click to show the menu in data usage, it gives me the list to select/unselect the "restrict background data" but i can't select it!! same in many other menus, these menues which they changed from the press bottun hardware into a software menu to select, i can't select the ristrict background data, it is either going to above it "data roaming" or below it "enable wifi measure" how i can callebrate it? how i can make the touch work fine!!?? i even tried to use a thin pen softly many times, i just can't control some menus like the one i said about, also in messages (SMS) when trying to open a first message in the list, it opens for me "create new message instead" looks like the hit comes on the place that is above what i tap!!! any idea why?

2- i want to make the clock alarm put the das like S M T W T F S, but it keep reading starts from Monday, i've selected the regional settings correct "Dubai/ UAE" and made sure that is all like my old S3 which was fine, but i just couldn't make it appear as startting from Sunday!!! any idea?

3- when i am on the home screen, going right, goes to the right page, fine, going right again, goes to the next page, fine, but if i go left, it opens the magazine thing, i don't want it, i just want it to open the last page normally like you are flipping the pages, how i can do that?

4- the usb input place is really disgussting, everytime you need to carefully remove the cover and each ones you have to make sure you do it carefully not to spoil it, is seems thin and can't handle pressure, i just don't know why they put it,,,, any idea how to remove it "without breaking it" out of the device, so to keep it aside and may use it later for example??

thanks for your time guys

On the top-right side of this page you will find a search bar with: "Type to find your device..." and a small phone icon to the right of said bar. In there, type Galaxy S5.
