[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jewbydoo:
You can't possibly have 4.2.2 without doing both of those in the first place. The phone only officially has 4.1.2, with 4.4 incoming officially from Motorola.

Rooting can always be done, unlocking cannot. Go to Settings > About Phone > System Version. If the number begins with 9.16, congratulations - you may unlock your bootloader! If it is any higher, unlocking is not possible due to where this phone is on the totem pole. Unlocking your bootloader is the only way to get any version of Android passed what the phone officially has - 4.1.2 as I mentioned.

Learner, go forth with the Googles and find the answers you seek.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Gino76ph:
Hi there.

Currently have a Lumia 920 with the developer version of 8.1. During most of this weekend the phone has been at home idle with the occasional checking of Twitter, Instagram, news, weather, uploading of music, Google searches and 1 or Youtube videos so not much. It was fully charged at 6am and by 9pm its down to less than 10% all the while connected to wifi with mobile data roaming turned off.

I have pretty much studied and made my research on what to turn off on the settings as regards WP8.1 but i feel i'm still missing something. My theories are:

1. Windows Phone 8.1. isn't fully optimised and might have introduced a bug on particular models that drains battery quicker

2. Settings of 8.1 compared to the Lumia Black/8.0 has slightly been altered so some settings made have juggled around or have been embedded elswhere

3. Can't seem to find settings of Xbox Music which i heard when turned off can help with the battery life.

4. The battery of the used 920 i bought on Ebay might have been overused and the charge cycle is way past its life; the seller claims he bought it a few months ago.

Battery life is worse compared to my Galaxy S3 LTE on an "older" Android 4.3.

Any help please?

Thanks.

Bluetooth & Toyota Prius

I have an XDA 2 (UK - marketed by O2) & have (after 5 months) discovered that Toyota admit to having a problem with bluetooth connectivity for "some models" (three newer phones belonging to garage employees also failed to bond when I took it back after trying to create a bond for a week& these were not PDA phones!).

They tell me that if the bluetooth version I have has two specific files, it SHOULD be possible to connect - the files are HFPv1 M3 Profile & OPP v 1.1 The problem I have is finding out whether I have these files - I have an e-mail in to O2 at the moment & will be happy to let you know what they come up with - from Toyota's guarded reaction the XDA is clearly a "problem" model & what I do not know is what happens if I prove I DO have these files & still can't make a bond!
[General Topics] ch1:
Toyota say they can't supply a list of compatible phones because "it would soon become obsolete" but technically minded folks might like to know that they say you need Bluetooth 1.1, Hands Free Profile 1.0 & Object Push 1.1

As I could grow old waiting for O2 to get back to me I'm afraid I gave up - if you want the PDA function of the Xda2 & a phone which will bond with the Toyota system, the Orange SPV M600 bonded instantly & seems to work well even near my home where the signal is pretty poor!
[General Topics] TVBanks98:
Having a similar problem with a US 2006 Acura TL and a Cingular 3125. The phonoe pairs, but only has limited features. Call waiting drops the call and routes the waiting call to voice mail. Most annoying.

I understand that the Cingular ROM build I have *should* be able to support the HFP, but it was not included in the build for some reason.

Looking for a way to push address book, handle call waiting correctly, display battery life and signal strength on car dash display. As far as I can tell, HFP should handle some or all of those.

Any thoughts??

Hey guys, I finally switched my phone from an iPhone to an M8 because through my work I got one out of contract for $250 so I really couldn't pass the offer...

Anyways, I'm having trouble transferring my music from my iTunes (mac) to my new phone. Google music blows, it doesnt even get all the songs and playlist after trying 2950 times. So what else can I use that WILL get every single song and playlist CORRECTLY to my M8?

Thanks!

Also thinking about rooting it soon. Anyone have a link to how to do it on a Mac? I used to know how to root pretty well a couple years ago when I had my tablet but havent touched it in many years.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploitUK:
I had this issue too

I had the same problem - havent done it with masses of music yet, but in iTunes if you right click the song you want to copy, you can select to convert the song to an aac file - once youve done that open the memory card or internal storage and copy files to your music folder - simples :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpayne174:
Thats the issue though. I cant connect it to my mac for some reason. Android Transfer wont find it and neither will like DoubleTwist
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcox1124:
Mac does not play nice with MTP, which is the protocol used to transfer files back and forth between PC/Mac and Android.

If you are bone stock, just use HTC Sync and point it to your iTunes media folder in Finder.

If you are rooted and/or prefer ADB, download DriveDroid from the Play Store. Once downloaded, give it Super User permissions, then go to Settings > USB Settings > Manually Change Permanent USB Mode, then select Media Transfer Protocol. After that, go to your phone's Settings > Developer and enable USB Debugging.

Now, download Android File Transfer on your Mac. Plug your phone to your Mac and it'll load up and let you add/delete files at a whim.

With all that said... If you don't use ADB, HTC Sync will be the easiest and allow you to copy playlists from iTunes. With Android File Transfer, you can copy all the music, videos, whatever, but the actual playlists don't transfer over. If there is a way, I'd love to know.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
I'm wondering if there might be in the pipeline a method similar to weak sauce where you just downloaded an apk. and you can gain root access without having to go to the trouble of downloading Android sdk , etc, etc, command prompts etc and in my case having to go to the Internet cafe as I don't use PC /Laptop, much and all as I love HTC but it's a bloody nightmare when it comes to rooting compared to Samsung which was simple.

I already tried weak sauce and it force closes when I click on agree but I did read that it was really initially for Verizon in USA so I wasn't overly surprised it wouldn't work.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invano:
To gain root escalation in that way there must be an exploitable bug. Until no holes are found, no temp root methods will be out.

Hey guys,

I paid £1.69 for an eBay unlock code which was accepted by my (Tesco) Moto G 8GB.

I've saw over at the Motorola site about unlocking the boot-loader and want to know if this also removes carrier lock ?

1. Has the eBay seller given my IMEI to Motorola and already invalidated my warranty ?

2. Have I lost the benefit of Motorola services already ?

3. Has the eBay seller registered himself, with Motorola, as the owner of my device ?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATRIXXIRTA:

Carrier unlocking and bootloader unlocking are 2 completely different things. If you carrier unlocked, your warranty is still valid. The seller of the code is not affiliated with Motorola. Nobody can unlock your bootloader without access to your device.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] tumpin:
Hey all, I was in John Lewis playing with the new Z2. I noticed that the live wallpapers were really slow and the transition between pages seemed a low frame rate. No way near as fluid as on the Galaxy Notes. I was a bit surprised, surely as the latest and greatest device it can eat any live wallpaper for breakfast?

I was planning on buying the Z2 LTE but I was a little put off by what I saw. I closed down all the running apps on the device but it was still not smooth. I put on the stock water drop live wallpaper and it ran even more stuttery than on my Nexus 7 (1st gen)!! Surely that can't be right.

I expect my Dualboot Games live wallpapers to run buttery smooth on my next tablet!

Was that just a freak occurrence or is that just how it is? Hopefully one of you guys can put my mind at rest or I will pass on this one.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] hasenbein1966:
Forget this stupid stock launcher. Totally irrelevant.

I don't understand how people judge a device by preinstalled crap.

Install another launcher (Nova, whatever), and there you go.

Live wallpapers are battery eating, superfluous s**t anyway.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] tumpin:
What is there to understand? I had to judge it on that cos it was a display model in the shop. I cant go customising it lol. Thats why Im on here asking the question from people that own one.

Was it the stock Sony launcher at fault? Is the stock launcher really that bad or is the device just like that regardless? For a premium device I would expect the stock launcher to perform at a decent level at least.

As for live wallpapers being superfluous s**t, that's irrelevant. Its been a feature of the OS for a long time now and I was surprised that the device struggled so badly with it. Like I say with seemingly less performance than my Nexus 7.

I was ready to buy one but from what I saw in the shop it made me nervous to drop £500 on it. So Z2 Tablet owners how is the device performing with 3rd party launchers? Im really expecting it to be silky smooth even with a live wallpaper running (obviously I understand some LWP's are badly made and slow no matter what device).

Any comments appreciated!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] jai23:
Are you complaining about the launcher or the wallpaper? If it's the launcher, I barely see any lag at all. For the wallpaper it will depend on the wallpaper, the tablet is very powerful with a decent graphics chip, but if whichever wallpaper you are using is badly coded it won't make a difference.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] hasenbein1966:
When the tablet in the shop was fresh out of the box, it's no wonder that it was lagging. For instance, the media scanner will run and other first-time apps and background services will be started. An Android device is always only at it's real snappiness a few hours after first start.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] tumpin:
It wasn't new out the box, it was on the display. They had rows of demo units on display. I closed down all the apps too. There was a lot open from people playing around with it.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] tumpin:
It was more the wallpaper. I tried the default Android water ripple one and it was really slow, slower than on my Nexus7. Also the standard Sony wallpaper. Swiping through the screens it just wasn't as fluid as the Galaxy Note also on display. Must say it shocked me a bit.

Do you own one? Im after gauging what its like for people that actually own one. Because I know what I saw on display but I only had a short time with the device. I am asking what its like for you guys that own one. Is it smooth and fluid with 3rd party launchers? Do live wallpapers slow it down a lot? I know there are badly made LWPs but Im talking about good wallpapers, does it handle them ok?

I had been waiting for the Z2 to come out but after playing with it Im having second thoughts. I want my next tablet to be hassle free. I dont even want to be flashing roms, Im fed up with that, I want it to be slick straight out the box.

Im considering one of the Tab Pro's or even a Win 8 Pro tablet. I played with a Sony Tap 11, I know its a different device altogether but that thing impressed me! Its so light considering its a full i5 PC.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] hasenbein1966:
Slick straight out of the box? Seriously, take an iPad or a Windows machine.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] jai23:
Yes I own one, I've had no problems with lag of any sort.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] tumpin:
Thanks Jai23, I will take that on board.

Hasenbein that's funny but sadly true!

I am going to have a think about it and try get another demo of the Z2. What I would really like is the latest Asus Transformer that comes with Tegra 4 graphics. That's the kind of graphics grunt I know I would like but they don't do an LTE version for some reason.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] hasenbein1966:
The Adreno 330 in the Tablet Z2 has at least (!) as much "graphics grunt" as the Tegra 4! If you notice lag, it's not because of the "graphics grunt"!
