[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Recovery is a partition that you cannot wipe from recovery...

That screen you describe is fastboot/bootloader. You need to be on that screen to flash a new recovery, or flash stock images.

Honestly this is all covered in the return to stock thread.

You should just install the factory images and be done

[Xperia Z2 General] Kamran9558:
I ordered from handtec and I just checked my card, they have charged it which, according to their FAQs they only do when they ship the product. I do hope that is the case.
[Xperia Z2 General] Lolento:
I hope ur right, I also ordered thru Handtec but paid with Amazon which they had to charge immediately.
[Xperia Z2 General] kersey:
Just checked my credit card, nothing taken for Handtec but Carphone Warehouse have taken my money (yes, I've been greedy and placed two orders to see which is dispatched first [emoji13])
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Please update once you get the device people. ^_^
[Xperia Z2 General] Lolento:
Oh man, please report back if you see your handtec order is charged.
[Xperia Z2 General] kersey:
Will do [emoji106]

Have just checked and the order says processing...am not sure what it was previously though so don't know if it has changed

UPDATE: Just spoke to Chloe in Handtec...orders are still due to ship in Mid May so no point getting our hopes up today [emoji22]
[Xperia Z2 General] Jejoma:
I would not get too excited about that. My card was charged by Carphone Warehouse on the 23rd March!
[Xperia Z2 General] kersey:
I just spoke to a helpful gentleman over the phone from CPW. He confirmed that they do actually have stock in the warehouse but cannot release it until Sony give the OK of which there is no date...even more annoying if it is true as Sony are doing themselves no favours in holding back the release [emoji35]
[Xperia Z2 General] riso123:
Spoke to Vodafone twice today. First time this morning was told no stock has been received and Sony would update them later today so ask again tonight.

Just spoke to then and the woman was useless. Said she had to check if it's been shipped from the warehouse, even though I told her I just wanted an update on the delay and she said they have been doing since the 10th... Completely incompetent.

Expecting an argument on the legality of the contact now as I plan on canceling if they can't at least give me a simple purpose update on the status!
[Xperia Z2 General] augie7107:
I'm truly amazed at the cluster this launch has turned out to be. I am still in awe at the way this is being handled by Sony and I'm a Sony customer. Wish all the best in getting resolution. I canceled pre-order and went with EBay. The device is worth the wait but supply chain at Sony should be chastised for not handling this better.
[Xperia Z2 General] kersey:
Am thinking that maybe the pre-orders with CPW are only relating to contract phones and that us sim free buyers may have to wait until the sim free launch in May as retailers always favour the contract sales as that where the money is.

I did ask a clueless person in Phones4U about the sim free model and he said they wouldn't be able to sell it sim free until 2 weeks after they get the phones in. He did also state that is would be around £700 sim free, so maybe take his comments with a pinch of salt.

Really hope I'm wrong :confused:
[Xperia Z2 General] Publicglutton:
Ok , I pre-predered & PAID for my Z2 on the 26th February to give you some reference, My last email from Sony support said they would be dispatching from W/C 14/4/14,

However I have just been on the phone to Sony e-commerce Michael and his latest information on my Z2 is that they wont be dispatching until the end of April..:crying:

So take from that what you will as regards to your orders....:eek:
[Xperia Z2 General] numskull:
Normally disadvantages would be:

Compatility issues..... make sure you're getting the correct model for your region/network

The wait....... ummmmmmm, might actually be quicker

Fake........ Obviously you run this risk anywhere, but be more cautious when ordering from overseas

warranties, guarantees etc..... if they're valid it would cost loads to ship back if it needed repairs

think thats about it..... oh n customs

Today I bought my first smartphone...a brand new Sony xperia z1 compact.

I bought it from Telstra shop(in Australia). I read different topics and I have some questions...

I wonder if (without rooting)I can have the mobile without all the Telstra stuff and apps.

The phone comes with Android 4.3 and In Australia is not aviable the update to Kitkat,is possible change the Australian firmware to an European one without rooting?

I’m a bit confused for what to do...

If I use the Flashtool can I have android 4.3 ver 14.2.A.142(no brand,stock version)?

If yes where I can get it?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
If you're debranding the device then it's not tied to a carrier, but you should still be able to update when it's released for the ROM you flash through PC Companion, although Many People just flash an ftf from here when updating.

You could try and make an ftf to reflash if no one has uploaded one but that won't back up your Phone as it is now, you'll need root and CWM for that. Flash an unbranded ftf and never look back.

When i'm on the phone or the phone rings and i go to take it out of my pocket or its case, the ignore softkey is UBER fricken sensitive and sends the caller to my voicemail.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VaccaThreeSixteen:
Hi XDA,

I've got a problem whilst installing apps (obviously). I download an app from Play Store, it downloads, and whilst it says 'installing' I get a huge lag on my phone. It sometimes even freezes for a few seconds. When it finishes installing it goes back to normal like nothing happened. Its like whenever I install an app, I summon some kind of demon laggatron in my phone. Does anyone else experience this and how can I fix it?

Thanks <3
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

:laugh:

Well, it happens sometimes with some huge apps when installing them. Lags yes, but no freezes, at least for me.

As far as I know nothing to do..., I would say that it's a known "problem".
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VaccaThreeSixteen:
Nope, the laggatron strikes every time, no matter the size of the app :(

I have Undervolted to 0.96GHz, does that change the game at all? I'm assuming that it takes more CPU power when installing apps, so my phone is no match for the laggatron :( :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
You underclock to 960 Mhz, you mean max CPU freq :eek: :confused:

Maybe that explains all..., raise your max CPU freq a bit.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VaccaThreeSixteen:
Yep. Tbh I wanna keep it, I only get problems with installing app lag, everything else is fine. Get 6hrs+ SOT, so defo worth the sacrifice.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Honestly you will have the same battery life if you raise your max CPU freq to something like 1,5 Ghz at least (or 1,7 ghz) if you want to keep a certain amount of underclocking (maybe placebo effect...), seems counter-productive to me what you want to achieve...

Some users have the same SOT at stock CPU freqs then...

It depends of your usage too and other settings (brightness, synchro and so on).

But it's up to you, I would say try for a few days and see..., I'm sure you will have less lags with a higher CPU freq, at this point you have the reverse effect to me, all the CPU tasks take more time to be finished.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
960mhz? yea, that changes the game, extremely. if you want to underclock, try 1574mhz, youll wont notice any underclocking affects.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VaccaThreeSixteen:
Really, it won't save any battery? I might as well give it a go then, always thought it was one of the major battery saving settings. Thanks for your advice guys! :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i get 5-6 hours sot at 2265mhz, no real tweaking, just set up properly, and with a great quality data/phone signal in my area. and i only use lte, 100% of the time. using the cpu at that low a level would never be worth it to me, 1574mhz would be the very minimum for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kufikugel:
Common 2265MHz is your personal minimum :D or how do you get the 40000 benchmarks lmao :p
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VaccaThreeSixteen:
I'm at 1.57GHz or whatever you recommended. And battery life looks just like it did before, awesome! Although I do still get a tiny bit of lag still, there's no freezing at all. Will have to just wait to see if it goes well. Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SimMasterIbra:
I've wanted to start creating some galaxy gear apps that will ease some tasks and somehow make it worth the $200 price.

I'm new to android development so I can say that this is my first android app of this complexity.

This app comes in two pieces. The server, which must be installed on the phone, and the client which should be installed on gear. What the client does, is retrieving a list of text messages from the device and displays on the gear. You can also send text messages from gear.

Basically it's like tablet sms, but without all the background services and auto sync that will drain the battery faster on gear.

I've tested it only on a galaxy note 3 with 4.4.2 stock rom + galaxy gear with null rom v.23

Let me know if there are any bugs

Here are some pics:

Changelog:

v1.5:

Autostart service on boot.

Some bug fixes

v1.4:

Swipe between all unread messages in the notification popup.

Added option to resend a previously sent message.

Some bug fixes.

v1.3.1

Added option to preview message body in notification (check settings, by default will be disabled).

Now the client will display only the last 50 messages from the conversation to improve speed.

Changed icon.

Bug fix.

v1.3

Now you can send message to any contact from your phone

Receive notifications on gear - with option to disable this if you have gear manager

New icon that matches the gear theme more than the last one

Small UI changes on client

Small optimization for battery drain on phone

v1.2.4

Bug fixes

v1.2.2

Trying to fix some bugs

Added button for easily sending log files

*Updated only the server apk

v1.2:

Select server device when opening client for the first time.

Added button to start/stop the server.

International characters in contact names are displayed correctly.

Some other fixes in code.

v1.1:

Changed theme to dark one

Fixed problem with special characters

Fixed some crashes

v1.0:

Initial release

hows the battery life on this app compared to tablet talk?

installs but when i open the client app in the watch, it says '..client has stopped' white screen crashes

do i need to enable notifications ON in gear manager or any other special settings on?

it also force closes on my phone(popup error on my phone saying sms client has stopped...) when i try to run the client app on the gear , maybe its my phone nexus 5 with ART mode incompatible and franco kernel?

You won't see any battery drain on the watch, as all the work is done phone side. This app works flawlessly for me on my s4, so I guess it's down to your phone/set up mate.

I'm having a bit of an issue. I think it's sending my texts from the gear, however when I check in my texting history on phone side, the ones I sent from the gear aren't showing up there. And when I go back and open the gear (client) to check there again, they are not there also. But when I send one from the gear, it says it sent. :confused:

"it also force closes on my phone(popup error on my phone saying sms client has stopped...) when i try to run the client app on the gear "
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SimMasterIbra:
Actually, there was a method to do this, but it's not working anymore on the latest version of gear manager, or I'm missing something. Here is the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2606999

Hm, I'm aware of some force closes of the app, but only on some circumstances. I think at the possibility of crashing when the gear tries to find the phone with the server running. For this, you must have the bluetooth enabled and the server running on the phone, and on the gear you must have your phone saved in the bluetooth device list. Other than this, I'm not sure, a logcat would be helpfull. Meanwhile I will try to fix some bugs.

Can you try sending a message to your own number?

I will try to debug some errors that could appear. Until that, if you can provide a logcat for the app from both gear and phone, would be awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Lol! :laugh: It works when sending a message to my own number but other numbers, even though it says it sends message, it doesn't. :cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] animatechnica:
excellent app - works well on my stock S4 with Gear on Null 23 using nova launcher
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SimMasterIbra:
When you first run the app on gear, it will list the devices that are already paired with the watch. So make sure that your phone is paired with your watch before running it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] noctrin:
I've been playing around with the app and really like what you did, haven't had any issues really since the last update; sent a beer your way as a thanks :).

If you plan on doing anymore updates, i have a suggestion:

- the option to swipe between notifications --i noticed it will only notify on the first message received but will not update on subsequent messages until that one is closed.

I don't think there is a documentation for the s voice on the gear since it relies on gear manager. Maybe you can find a better third party keyboard.

Thanks, man! :)

Sure, maybe I will make the option to swype between all unread messages from the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Neoharkman:
My phone is paired with my Gear but not through Gear Manager, just in bluetooth, could this be the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SimMasterIbra:
No, it should work without gear manager. Can you post two screenshots from gear, one from bluetooth settings, where are displayed the paired devices and one from the sms app where it asks you to select a device.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Neoharkman:
In fact, the app on the watch doesn't launch well I think, it immediatly stop, saying "could not connect to any device".
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SimMasterIbra:
Try to clear data for the app on gear and relaunch it. If it's still not working can you send me a log file from both phone and gear?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Neoharkman:
I clear the data and it ask me again to select my phone, but when I do it immediatly stop, saying "could not connect to any device".

I send you a log from my phone but I don't know how to send from the gear since I don't have access to the app.

Anyway thank you very much for your help but I think that my phone is too old (Android 4.1.2) :(

It's ok, I've found an error in the log file from the phone. I will send you a patched version by email when it's done. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] doubleohzero:
Lookout security is saying that this apk is "riskware". Should I be worried about that?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Kevin_seymer:
Sorry for dumb question but

Does the gear need to be rooted for this to work?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] noctrin:
It doesn't ask for root privileges nor should it :). You can run this without root.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SimMasterIbra:
Someone said somewhere in this topic that it worked with gear's stock rom too.

Maybe because it has permission to send sms messages, or because it's not a signed apk, but nothing to worry about. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almony8:
I had to reflash the kitkatkiller rom onto my phone due to user error, and now when I reinstall this app to my phone and watch it is not working again. I will try again later today to reinstall everything and let you know, just wanted to give a heads up. It's weird though, because this is the same exact ROM that I was using this app with before without any issues. Weird stuff
