[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omicronxda:
Hi,

I have a S4mini running 4.2.2 (rooted).

A few days now I have an unusual problem:

*All* my incoming SMS appear as if they are flashSMS(class0), meaning they appear as a popup, and then they vanish.

I use Handsent SMS pro, if it makes any difference

Also, if my the SMS app is active, the incoming sms doesnt show up at all (not even as a popup)

any ideas?

thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mtmerrick:
Dropped my phone on concrete. It BOUNCED. It seems fine, except for this... (see attached image).

Yeah.... One of the NFC pins snapped off. As you can imagine, my NFC no longer works. At all. As I use NFC on a very regular basis, this is not OK.

Anyone have something like this happen to them? Any ideas on how to fix it? I was considering a drop of solder, but I really am not sure about what to do.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquaholik:
I've had the s2 and note 2 on Sprint and the no contract note 3 for $249 was too good to pass up so right now I am testing AT&T even though my Sprint contract is up and I can switch any time.

I have a question for you guys that are rooted and not rooted. I always rooted the phones on Sprint to get free wifi tether(since sprint has unlimited data) and mess with a few roms and recovery.

I'm getting to old and lazy to do odin and run recovery and test out roms since I hate having to re customize the phone once I have it setup the way I wanted. My note 3 will soon auto update to KitKat. It is on MJ5 4.3. I have the option of rooting now with the Kingo app and then install TiBU and freeze the At&t updater before it takes effect.

My question is, is there any benefits to rooting on AT&T. Most AT&T plan that is no contract and the GO phone plan(which I plan to switch to) has free hot spot and even the mobile shared value plan has free hotspot. I know that Kitkat messes with the app's ability to write to external SD card but Samsung Note 3 has a native file manager call My Files that can write and create and moves files and directory on the external card. So if I don't want to mess with roms and don't need wifi tether, and the Kitkat write privileges is no big deal to me, is there any reason to root?

I'm getting an unlock code in 60 days along with a bill credit of $100 so I can take it to T-Mobile(not likely) if I choose so rooting to unlock the phone for other carriers is also not needed. I wanted to root to stop KitKat but now it won't bother me any more since Samsung, unlike HTC, has a native file manager that is not restricted by Kitkat.

That doesn't mean that the OP isn't telling the truth. As far as I know, if they have an Emma login, they may see firmwares that are unavailable to standard users.
[Xperia Z General] gbil:
Different users have different access on Emma.

The OP is telling the truth but writing in public that you saw it on Emma and you will try to download it might get you in trouble. It's called common sense :p

Exactly. Anyway thank you very much for the information. I hope someone takes you up and leave soon. :)
[Xperia Z General] Jodus:
Its probably not the final build though but now we know they are on schedule of making it happen in march. I hope the battery life is better. Oh and does anybody knows if sony's timescape kitkat will allow to switch to ART?
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
It probably is the release version, as they're all labelled "Operator acceptance". I doubt a test version would be sent to operators for approval for use on their network (if that's what the label means, someone correct me if I'm wrong please). Also, the commercial and journalist version of 569 that leaked before release turned out to be the release version.

As for ART, it is not included in the KitKat roms of other Xperia devices, so I doubt we will get it.
[Xperia Z General] Jodus:
Thanks, yeah i didn't see that label.

And i think it is really sad that most oem skinned 4.4 firmwares don't support ART, it is so much faster!
[Xperia Z General] RyomaEchizen:
Remember 4.3

ZL 4.3 leak version = ZL 4.3 release version ;)

[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
Well ART is still in early stages and I can imagine many manufacturers want to avoid people going "omg this doesnt work wtf fix it plz" when they enable ART, not that I have encountered any issues with ART on cm though..
[Xperia Z General] tOrNadO™:
ART is removed from all Xperias.. Sony will give ART only in the next android version(may be 4.5 or 5 whatever).. It wont be out unless all the popular apps support ART.. Google is yet to decide whether to use ART fully or not.. Hence none of the major OEMs are considering it seriously.. Anyways dalvik is good enough too.. Be happy we will be getting some more support for XZ.. :D
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Yes, I said it isn't included in other Xperia devices, so I'm not sure why you quoted me. ;)

:D

As for popular apps not working with ART, are there specific examples, as I see ART support in pretty much every changelog of every app I update? :)

IMO, ART is being left out because it's still in beta and intended only for developers right now. Sony are removing it to prevent customer complaints when something stops working from people that don't understand the implications of switching to it. :)
[Xperia Z General] tOrNadO™:
I accidentally must have Multiquoted u as well.. :silly::silly:
[Xperia Z General] androidfreak70:
doh. everyone can flash 6602 FTFs on 6603 and 6603 FTFs on 6602:D
[Xperia Z General] xenius9:
Art disabled in firmware but libs exist.

Possible art may be turned on by editing system files(Settings.apk).

Libs for c6903:

system\lib\libart.so

system\lib\libart-compiler.so
[Xperia Z General] Rootk1t:
it seems, that not all sony stock applications (walkman, albums, etc...) can work with ART right now.

So enabling it in firmware will break considerably more than improve.
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
Very interesting, have you/anyone tried?
[Xperia Z General] SuperHanss:
I know on the Nexus 5 there's a file called "persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib" in /data/property.

If you open the file you'll see that it contains "libdvm.so", simply replacing it with "libart.so" switches the runtime to ART.

It's probably already been tried but if you're up for it, make a nandroid first and give it a try.
[Xperia Z General] nemer12:
emma works only for unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Yes, I believe so.

If you're trying to get access to the firmware in question, I'll tell you now that you will not be able to. The OP will have an account that has access to it. You will never be granted those rights. :)
[Xperia Z General] scifan:
Yeah, if I thought I'd have access by setting up EMMA and having an account, I'd have already done so...

Just have to wait... I called it over on the ZL forum's though... I expected we'd see KK leak's within a week of when they finally rolled "101" for the 6506... they didn't actually roll that version until last week...
[Xperia Z General] gerickjohn:

Will it get kitkat soon?
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
If someone can leak the ftf,then it can be flashed for locked bootloader otherwise we will need to wait until official release.
[Xperia Z General] tchzhy:
Looking forward to have the rom soon.
[Xperia Z General] NamenIos:
The FTFs have to be signed by Sonys private key. Probably the "developer (brown) devices" have another key and thus you will have to be unlocked to flash the Kernel.
[Xperia Z General] iDroid8:
Why are baseband and kernel versions always blocked out in screens?
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
To protect whoever leaked it. No doubt certain builds are given to certain testers and it would be easy for Sony to find the leak if the build date was visible in screenshots.
[Xperia Z General] iDroid8:
Hmm, I was under the impression DoomLord himself leaked it, not someone else sharing the screens with him.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
And where do you think DooMLoRD got the rom from? :D
[Xperia Z General] iDroid8:
forget it it's me just derping out

Install - on 10.3.1.A.2.67

Hello everyone

I have question about installing this rom. Is it possible to istall it on rooted / 10.3.1.A.2.67 ( ofcourse unlocked Bootloader ), or i have to go to 10.4.1.B.0.101 / Rooted ??

Thx for fast reply.
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
Since you're using unlocked bootloader you can just straight flash the ROM because the kernel is already included in the zip.

"[ how to install ]

download the ROM and save it on SDCARD

reboot device into recovery

flash the ROMs update.zip (this will take some time)

I RECOMMEND THAT YOU WIPE /cache WHILE IN RECOVERY!

thats it now reboot device

at first boot device the NFC firmware will get updated wait for process to be completed

after a few reboots the ROM should stabilize!

enjoy!"

quoted from the OP of that thread.
[Xperia Z General] Mario210:
Are you sure about that ??

Are you sure about that ??

[ requirements ]

previously on stock .101 JB (4.3) ROM or roms based on that [since some components of THIS rom contain files from those firmwares]

supplied ROM

From what i know 10.3.1.A.2.67 is android 4.2.2 and on other phones you coudnt just jump from 4.2.2 to 4.4 straight ( HTC - SGS )
[Xperia Z General] St.Jimmy90:
You've answered your question with this. You need 4.3 for it to work properly
[Xperia Z General] Mario210:
Thx for help

Yup you right. :p

Anyway thx for help will get to .101 soft
[Xperia Z General] Gio_ital:
If you are doing a fresh install, you can flash this rom without installing 101 first
[Xperia Z General] piurso:
That does'nt make any sense. This is a full ROM, not an update.
[Xperia Z General] St.Jimmy90:
It does make sense. DooMLoRD wrote this:
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
It's also a test firmware only intended to work on brown devices, therefore DooMLoRD had to modify it to work on consumer devices. That is probably the reason that an existing 101 system has to be on the device.
[Xperia Z General] -iNCEPTiON-:
How is this test firmware working for everyone ?
[Xperia Z General] Mario210:
Not so BAD

After 2 days of use :

- didnt saw any bugs
