[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killer2k8:
I did have a lot of android phones, and as I stated in another topic this is the first one that i'm afraid to tinkle with (because of bricking topic & so) also I know that if I unlock the BL i loose some features of the phone (mostly in camera), i also did backup TA the first day i rooted.

I'm not new to this stuff, i've built kernels/roms and stuff but I'm new to the phone and I take things slowly...I'm also hesitating because of the warranty, the phone is almost 2 months old...

And i can also state that this is the first android phone that I simply am confortable with the stock software, and i did not encountered huge bugs like before.

The only feature that I miss vs the other phones on the same 'stage' is the double tap to unlock. If a kernel with that feature appears and it is stable i will unlock immediatly.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Do you mean "2 Tap to Wake Up" the phone instead of using Power button? It' s already ported this feature in latest custom kernels but to do that you have to unlock it and get rooted.

[HTC Startrek] Mastiff:
The prices on car chargers (70 dollars) and sync cables (35 dollars) in Norway are hysterical. Talk about blackmail! So are there any third party stuff yet? I haven't found anything on eBay as of yet.

I can't believe that they didn't find space for a regular USB mini on the thing!

(Oh, in case anybody should wonder: This is the pink version, and it goes sooo well with my manbag! :roll: ) (OK, kidding. It's for my wife, and it's kind of hopeless to use TomTom without a car charger!)
[HTC Startrek] Churchill:
Mastiff!

I think the same in regards to the stupid decision to use proprietory USB connector... BUT and this is good, I have today found and ordered the following : http://www.expansys.no/product.asp?code=137745

This is simply a little cable that converts the stupid connector to traditional mini USB, and since the device needs te same power in volts (5V) I am going to able to use my car charger for MDA PRO :)

P.S. I have no IDea how much are 55 Norwegian Crowns in Euro but mine on the dutch Expansys site costed me 8 Euro (and another 8 for shipment, Lousy bastards)
[HTC Startrek] Churchill:
WOW Mate I have just looked how much would be the price with shipment and it comes to 236 Crowns, dude how much is that (for a small lousy cable)
[HTC Startrek] Mastiff:
A lot... Not as much as you'd think though. It's around 40 dollars, so I could live with that. But when Expansys has got them, they'll very soon surface on eBay for half that price! So thanks a lot for the tip, now I know what to look for! :D then again buying three of those only costs 25 dollars more (400 kroner or 66 dollars), so I may do that. Thanks again!

Edit: There's already one on the Bay! http://cgi.ebay.com/Car-Charger-for...7QQihZ004QQcategoryZ35193QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem 20 dollars with shipping ain't bad!

I'm sure some headphone adapters will follow soon as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Paulb787:
Hey,

I know this question has been asked but is there anyway to return to s-on without loosing the ability to firewater again and s-off?

I am curious as this is my first HTC device. If a RUU were available could you lock the bootloader and flash it and be back to s-on.

I am also looking for stock recovery does anyone have it? also has anyone taken the ota with s-off? I am not going to flash stock recovery and take the ota until I am absolutely positive. So many people screwed up with the s4 and updated after MDK.

[General Accessories] Jmack3d:
Thanks for the pics, I wish that last pic would of had the phone in it. The pics with the case on the phone were a bit dark ;) but still gives me a good idea of the appearance
[General Accessories] IRKONIK:
First of all: There already is a thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2714087&page=5

Secondly: The case is, compared to the one for the S5, worse in quality.

Just compare the volume rockers! The S5 has bigger and better built ones! All of the pictures are from [MENTION=3996566]vectron[/MENTION]!

M8

S5

Also, the solution to get the light from the IR diode from the M8 "through" the case is really cheap! They just cut a hole.

As a result, the button itself feels weird, and the one I had collapsed easily.

And now the worst part: How the phone is held in place inside the case.

They use thin rubber pillars to hold it for the M8, whereas they mold the softer plastic nicely into shape.

M8

S5

I really don't know why. :(

Thank you [MENTION=3996566]vectron[/MENTION] for the images from this, and the S5s thread.

Cheers!
[General Accessories] hxdrummerxc:
This case looks pretty good, despite some of its obvious flaws.

However, I had to buy an Otterbox.

I don't even like the otterbox for the m8, I think it looks plain and boring, and it just covers up the beauty of the m8. But I work in a dirty/dusty place, and I NEED the rubber port covers to keep the crud out of my headphone and charger ports. On my old phone, I had to use a toothpick to dig out the bull**** that collected inside my ports. For some reason, otterbox is the only company that seems to be using port covers.

If the UAG had rubber port covers, which I don't understand why it doesn't. I probably would have bought the UAG instead.
[General Accessories] Nxxx:
Hey everyone. I also received the UAG case for review on my channel and website. I did notice the volume rockers were made of a different material than on the Galaxy S4 model from last year, but I think it's due to how the buttons are on the M8. The material and everything is still very solid and high quality though.

If you have any questions about the case feel free to let me know! :good:
[General Accessories] thenags:
I have the all black. It looks great but I hate how slippery it is in my hands. I miss my Otterbox where just enough soft rubber stuck out from the inner sleeve that it really stuck in my hand.
[General Accessories] Jmack3d:
Just got my clear UAG case! Hands down best case I've owned. The gunmetal color of the m8 shows through the back of the case and looks amazing.
[General Accessories] cgamboa73:
Got the clear one yesterday here are some pics.
[General Accessories] jlczl:
That clear UAG one would have looked great if they had repositioned their logo. The OCD in me would not be able to take how the vertical logo covers the horizontal HTC logo.
[General Accessories] solracarevir:
I got this case today on my mail (Rust Color). Brought it on Amazon last Monday.

I must Say the Case feel great on the phone. One of people biggest concerns with the first batch of cases was that the camera ring wasn't a perfect fit. I can happily say this have been fixed. My brother have a UAG on his S3, My wife have one on her S4 and I can say that this one feels as sturdy as the S3 and S4 version.

Now, some pictures for your pleasure:

[General Accessories] TriBeard:
The trident aegis series also has all ports covered, and for phones that have speakers or openings on the back they put a screen/mesh filter over those as well. I had one for an S2 back in the day, and I loved the case. Only reason I don't have them for my current phone is that I got hooked on kickstand cases, and they don't have those in anything but their defender equivalent case.
[General Accessories] onthezone:
I'm debating between the clear uag or rust case and I'm wondering does the flash glare with either of those colors? If someone could test that out, I would definitely appreciate it.

Here it's one from the clear maverick case.
[General Accessories] Mike02z:
Got the black UAG case when it was first available on Amazon. Looked and worked fine. The camera hole for the main camera appeared slightly off but after a few days, looked nearly perfect.

Amazon then released the clear case. While I agree the UAG logo is poorly placed, I liked the idea of seeing the nice gunmetal grey showing through.

The clear case just arrived. I am very pleased with it. Having had both the black and now the clear, if you think the black is slippery and have an issue with that, avoid the clear. To me it seems much more slippery. I have no issue with this but I know some might.

Build quality is typical for UAG and this one the rear main camera lined up perfectly from initial fit.

The black UAG case is on it's way back to Amazon. I think I'm finally content unless UAG comes out with a totally clear case with the UAG logo placed differently :)
[General Accessories] EtherealRemnant:
I, too, got the UAG clear case. This is my first time with a UAG case and I couldn't be happier. The only thing that I noticed is that due to the generous cut outs for the USB port and the headphone jack, the case has more give at the bottom. I personally do not mind the cut out for the IR blaster... I would rather have the added protection at the expense of a cheap cut out hole than have them make that part translucent and weaken the case construction.

It looks fantastic on my gun metal. The logo is indeed somewhat of a poor design decision, however.

Does anyone have a new one of these laying around they'd like to sell? UAG stopped making them and I need to replace mine.
[General Accessories] vectron:
What happened to it? Did it crack or something? Just curious because I use only UAG case (despite so many other ones I've reviewed ;)), and typically use them for 2 years until I switch to a new phone. UAG cases always look like new even 2 years later.
[General Accessories] thenags:
It's my second one where the hard part started separating from the softer part. And I never take my phone out of the case so not sure why it's happening. They replaced it under warranty the first time but now they don't make them any more. I've got a Spigen now and it's OK but don't like the rounded back.

network info

Found G9009D's chinese manual at http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...inaTelecom_China_Kitkat_Chi_Rev1.0_140514.pdf

I dont know chinese but on page# 13 it shows that SIM1 needs micro-UIM and SIM2 needs micro-SIM.

I thought I could use but slots with GSM-SIM but I was wrong. Now I know that if I want to use Slot1 then I need to get UIM card (if my carrier has CDMA network and can give me UIM card) or else I cannot use Slot1 (only Slot2 with any GSM SIM).

Although my seller claims that both slots are unlocked I cannot test Slot1 until I can get a UIM card (to confirm if it is not network-locked on China telecom).

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muhammad.uzi1994:
Hi all, the question i'm about to ask has been asked on the internet before but i couldnt find any satisfactory explanation for it. I wanted to change my Preferred Network Type from 3G to 2G as 3G reception is not available where i live , i read on some forums that using 2G only setting can prevent the phone from searching for 3G network intervally which may save some battery. Now, i'm confused about which mode to choose for 2G , i dialed *#*#4636#*#* and went to Phone Information, then clicked on "Preferred Network Type" which, by default, was on WCDMA Preferred, What option should i change it to? GSM Auto or GSM Only? my phone is an unlocked htc M7_U so i cant choose the GSM/WCDMA/LTE Option (it would hog even more battery i think) . Also , can changing this Preferred Network Type have any effect on anything else besides the 2G/3G Network options? i mean, is it safe as long as i change the Network type to the correct option? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

thanks , can anyone confirm this? also , does changing Preferred Network Type has any effect on anything else besides switching between 2G/3G/4G mode?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
should be fine setting to "GSM only", setting it to "LTE/4G only" could make problems, because most carriers don't support calls over LTE (mine would be an example: so if I set to LTE only, I can't make or receive calls, so when it's on auto, it automatically changes to 2G/3G during a call)

You can also just change the setting in:

Settings -> Mobile data -> Network mode -> GSM Only

Thanks, GSM Only it is then.

[Sony Xperia M] justanNPC:
Cheers guys,

I have quite a problem with my Xperia M (single). When I checked my phone this morning, it seemed stuck somewhere, therefore I rebooted it.

Now the real mess starts:

After entering my password, I keep getting messages about killed processes. I hardly can maneuver anywhere, launcher does not work at all etc.

I might have to add: using cyanogenmod (FXP312 from the FXP-Blog).

Digging through a whole s**tload of Posts, Videoguides and almost everything about how to flash something on Xperia M I found at least some hints:

I saw that the data & system partition got mounted read-only.

partial output from "mount" in life-system:

Output from "mount" via adb in CWM after trying to flash:

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw,seclabel,relatime)

In cwm, I can remount "/data" rw.

This occurs after boot into the "real" system as well as after I tried to flash a new rom and I think this causes my trouble. When trying to flash, I get the error "some symlinks failed"

Any Ideas why "/data" keeps getting mounted in ro-mode? Or am I on the wrong track at all?

I just installed the PhilZ Touch Recovery in my Xperia ZL and rooted it. The issue is when I try to update to JB 4.3. Once I download the firmware by OTA I try to install it, the phone reboots and starts installing the new update the phone boots into recovery. Once I choose the option "Reboot Now" the phone starts again and the error message of "Installation Failed" is show.

Any ideas of what could be the problem? I kind of tired of the 4.2.2 update.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] freeborn99:
Trying to find a kitkat ROM that supports Voice dialling via Bluetooth on my note II sgh-i317m. If I role back to 4.3 it works fine (like DN3). I am currently testing CM11 and it does not work (unless somebody has a work around)

Most bluetooth functions work fine except voice dial. I hit voice commands on my Jabra and it does hear my commands. I also tried a Motorla bluetooth device and experienced the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Moved to Q&A.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rmzalbar:
Based my personal research, there is no known workaround. None of the operating systems, except those based on stock Samsung kernels, properly support bluetooth. They all have issues reliably initializing an audio and microphone connection to the headset after a voice command button press.

This includes ALL of the CyanogenMod releases.

It is a fairly underreported issue, and when it is reported, noone much cares - evidently, very few people actually use bluetooth to voice command their phone. So, it doesn't get any dev time. Anyone who tries to use their phone intelligently in their car, on a bicycle, or, in my case, on their motorcycle integrated with helmet comms should STRONGLY disagree. But, not everyone can sit about comfortably all day in horn rimmed glasses and ironic facial hair in a starbucks.

In my opinion, this relegates all of these releases to mere "toy" status, since this is an elementary feature of a modern phone - but as I understand it, the problem isn't particularly curable in any case due to somewhat hostile engineering and documentation practices by everyone's favorite, Samsung.

I have done as much work as I could do in researching the problem, reporting the problem and even studying how to collect logging information and eventually, a few attempts to roll my own modified kernel to attempt to solve the problem, to no avail - keep in mind I am not an android developer by any means, and have gone to some effort to learn what I could so as not to be merely a complainer.

My advice, if you insist on departing from the vendor operating system release series, is to seek the Samsung kernel-based mods, such as Ditto Note, as you have been doing. These have a higher chance of properly supporting the headset natively. They have recently moved to a kitkat release (that I haven't tested yet,) so that may satisfy.

As for myself, I will likely leave Samsung behind for my next phone, for something a little more open source friendly, hardware-wise. Being at the mercy of vendor updates and the S-voice for something I need to use more than 3 hours a day on the road has made me feel quite a fool.
