[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
S-off on the htc's is more "unlocked" than unlocking the boot loader on the X. With s-off, security checks, etc are bypassed.

I've posted the "long version" before, and I don't have time to retype it..so... The 4.4.2 update on the X changed the boot loader, gpt.bin and other things. They can not be downgraded. Attempts to do so will either fail, cause you problems, and will either brick the phone or set it up to brick if updating later.
[Moto X Q&A] r.storm85:
Right I understand the boot loader cannot be downgraded. But if you have root and are unlocked with a custom recovery on the x you can't flash any android version ROM you want ?
[Moto X Q&A] :
Its been said over and over. No offence. ;)

No. You can't downgrade the os after you've got 4.4.2. Once on 4.4.2....always on 4.4.2.

Well, you may be able to if you research on how some say they have. But you can brick. Its always a strong risk. If you are ready to buy a new phone in case things go bad.....then search on the ways people have done it.

But none of the guys "in the know" here would recommend it, or help anyone do it.

Nothing else really to say.

Good luck! :)
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
first off, I'm on vacation with my family, typing this on my stupid iPad whose autocorrect is driving me batty so if my details seem sparse, sorry, I have typed this info with more details before, search.

if you are talking about custom, 3rd party rooms, maybe... As it depends on what parts they flash, and what their base is.

But if you are talking about moto roms, then NO. Do not, unless you don't mind turning your X into a brick or paper weight.

Again stop thinking about htc s-off and what you were able to do as it doesn't apply to moto. Coming from an Incredible and Thunderbolt with s-off, I know how it's hard to forget. And trying to compare the two will cause many questions,

Due to changes in the bootloader and gpt.bin included with 4.4.2 on the X, under certain circumstances when trying to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4 or lower, you could either brick your phone, or set it up to brick in the future when you take an upgrade. So it is suggested you just stick with what is on your phone once you get on 4.4.2. If you have an unlocked boot loader you won't need to downgrade to root.

I've read, (not going to dig up the link right now cause I'm on iPad) of some who had 4.4.2 but successfully mfastboot flashed system.img only, and if they went into app drawer -> setting -> security -> they were kicked back out to settings. This is due to system parts relying on the other components. I'm not sure what other problems were found day to day.

Additionally there were/are many reports asking for help because their device won't boot. The common thread.... They had 4.4.2 and downgraded or tried to downgrade.

I'm not going to go into every possible scenario, what might happen, what causes it, what might be safe, etc. the general consensus is once you have 4.4.2 on your X do not try to downgrade!
[Moto X Q&A] ghstudio:
The OP has now returned and I have not resolved my issues :(

The advice here appears to be...don't try it so I will either continue to use the moto-x until hopefully 4.4.3 fixes the bluetooth issues, or I'll use my older galazy nexus until Motorola/Google figures out how to get the moto-x working.
[Moto X Q&A] :
Have you reflashed 4.4.2 stock and had a fresh start? Cause there aren't any/many other reports of this. You may just need a fresh install.

My x has none of those issues anyway on 4.4.2.

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

And have you tried another Bluetooth device. It could be the problem too. Just not compatible with the x.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkymedes:
Hi guys,

Is there a way to change the resolution of the camera app used by the SView cover when closed?

The aspect ratio is 1x1 and I would like to know if there is a possibility of changing it to 16x9

I ask this, because it's awkward to take pictures with the cover open and a bit clumsy to hold the device, making taking pictures with the SView camera app much more intuitive.

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to side load triangle away? or an ADB command?

I can get into recovery and download mode.

Any and all help will be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
How did you get to this point? Did you have a custom recovery running, if so which one? ROM? Did you try to revert from 4.3 to 4.1 via Odin? Have you done a wipe? What steps have you taken so far? Something as simple as kies emergency recover could get you back.

You may be able to recover.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vazquezcmp:
I got into this I believe by accidentally wiping 'system' via TWRP. I was wiping the phone to trade, and believe I wiped more than I should have. I have flashed back to TMO_T889UVUCMK7 stock via Odin, same boot loop.

I tried the Kies Emergency Initiasin and it goes through successfully. Then I boot into stock recovery, wipe cache and wipe data, and it will boot back into a boot loop.

I would even consider flashing a Pit File at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vazquezcmp:
* BUMP* Anyone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Which TWRP version were you using? I had a problem on an early version of TWRP 2.7 not playing nice with 4.1.2 and corrupted a partition in a way that looked very much like the way you describe. I got back by doing 2x factory resets, and Odining Mr Robinson's root66 ROM twice. I was on the latest 4.1.2 bootloader so I just flashed the UVALJ1 version and it came back. If you have the Knox bootloader you are stuck with UVCMK7 as your only option.

Once I did that I was able to boot up and get back to where I wanted to be.

i tried using the lgmoblietool and it reconizes my phone but its stuck on the 2nd step with it says its download the latest software. but its stuck on at 0% on the phone
[LG G Flex] skyfox99:
You're best bet is probably to reset the phone to stock. Then decide whether you want to jump to KitKat possibly unrooted or takes the update after rooting again. As long as you can get into download mode you should be OK.

Hello

I have a phone ZOPO C2 VER B. Phone turned off and do not ever want to turn on. It stopped responding to the charger, do not give any sign of life.

When connected to computer detects the phone, installs the drivers, the SP FLASH TOOL it detects. I pulled a few ROMs and I can not upload any ROM. It is always like this: It comes to 100% red belt and that's it. No error. The phone is detected as the MTK PORT, sometimes after reaching the 100% change in VCOM MediaTek USB DA. Here I give a link to the video where you can see how it looks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Iospu3n0oU&feature=youtu.be

I tried to upload separately preloader, recovery boot. Always the same ending. I tried with the battery in the phone, without the battery, hold Vloume - + Power, etc. Nothing gives all the time is the same.

Use three other PC to try. I have one more phone Zopo and on the same computer and the same driver is dowload rom with SFP without problems.

Phone is brick or can fix this?

Hi

I want to share some files by using wifi-direct, i did also connected with other device, but when i want to share there is no wifi-direct option sharing list, how i can do it?

My friends gs3 is easily slect file and share it by wifi-direct.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GSLEON3:
Nope.... I was confused for a second...

WiFi Direct is 100% completely supported by the HTC One M8. You (& I) were thinking of Samsung, which uses WiFi driect in conjunction with their AllShare/Cast function for sharing media between devices.

WiFi Direct is JUST A DIRECT WIFI CONNECTION BETWEEN DEVICES. It is up to the user to then choose an application or media server that takes advantage of the feature in order to share files or media.

Now, if you ask me, it is ABSOLUTELY SILLY that at a minimum HTC doesn't incorporate the feature into Sense for sharing via Album, or their file explorer, but what are you gonna do?

Are there cases out yet that make use of the space of the leather-back?

It is quite logical if you think it twice, i have a Spigen Neo Hybrid, although i love it, it makes the phone look like a tablet. The problem is, it covers everything around except the screen, so if a case does exactly that, why not get rid of pieces inside that take unnecessary space? Spigen would've cut 2-3mm out of the case if they did that...

I really like having a rough and tough handling phone, but i do not want to sacrifice volume space either, so is there anything that protects well and doesnt make a phone look like Robocop?

Greets
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tennisshoeninja:
have you seen the replacement backs?

like this
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] PlutoDelic:
now thats a start

if there is something though i like on the leather back, it's GRIP.

My point is for a "case", that makes use of both connection points (like the metal ones u showed) and space, and yet it protects the whole (edge's, sides and a deeper screen).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] anhqn91:
I bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/31088914192...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

It covers the entire back, side, good grip on the side, and cover about 1mm of the front screen. I'm also having a tempered glass on and they both fit really well together.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkshaft:
Anything metal will decrease signal perhaps GPS accuracy.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] PlutoDelic:
I'd be sold if it got rid of the leather-back, as for something like that, the Spigen Neo Hybrid is by far the most simplistic looking case i've encountered (with GOOD protection)

material type is not a prerequisite at all, but GRIP is, and metal probably wont help there either.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkshaft:
Why do you care about back cover if you will use protective case? for me am going to order UAG it looks good and most importantly will protect my phone very well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
The Spigen Neo Hybrid is horrible protection wise. Maybe from scratches and such its good but once it falls on its corner the plastic bumper is done.

Go for it. I have owned a lot of cases and the UAG is one of my favorites. Rugged and nice design. Fits like a glove with my tempered glass protector too.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] nreuge:
I've seen in the general section that the auto-brightness feature of Z2 is very controversial. I'm of those who find that the screen is a little too dim even with auto-brightness set at its max. Hoping that this will be fixed in a future firmware.

I've tested Lux Auto Brightness and it works very fine as a replacement as the built-in stock autobrightness. It is quite reactive and the brightness can be easily calibrated.

It is not free though.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Dreadk:
I agree, LUX works far better than the default system function.

However it needs some tweak to be perfect; as sometime it chooses to dim the screen a little too much :)
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] nreuge:
Yes, a profile must be created and edited. This is the profile I've created:

Lux / Brightness

0 / 50%

35 / 70%

1000 / 100%

+ log interpolation (default)

+ 5% Jitter percentage

+ brightness variation speed: normal

It's fine for me :)
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Dreadk:
Wow that's brighter than me :)

My configuration is a bit overkill though :

0 -35%

10 30%

20 35%

35 40%

45 50%

60 60%

700 75%

1400 75%

10000 80%

13000 100%
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] nreuge:
Yes, this is why I found that the stock autobrightness was to dim even set at its max.

I've modified my profile a little, stretching it from 50% to 100%, it's better like that.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Seifer1975:
For those of you who already have Tasker, this can be quite easily done using Tasker as well. For me, I set on auto-brightness but with slider to the max. This suits me for most occasions, except when it's really dark, in which case I find it too bright. So for me I just have 2 simple profiles on screen unlock if the light reading is less than 5, set brightness to 0, otherwise set brightness to 255.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Dreadk:
The Lux are on the left of the percentage, however I changed my settings. I like it brighter :)

0 // -35%

2 // 20%

10 // 50%

60 // 60%

800 // 80%

10000 // 100%

I think that all android devices support fat32 filesystem, the problems its the storage limitation of 4gb max per file in the sdcard.

I been trying to avoid the limitation of 4gb in all my android devices with this results, giving using different filesystems on my sdcard (ext2, ext3, exfat, ntfs...).

Galaxy s3: supports fat32 and exfat

Chinese tablet aoson m7: Suppots fat32 and ntfs

Chinese phone Lenono A760: Suppots only fat32.

Andoid its based on linux, but none of my devices recognice the sdcard with ext2 or ext3 formats.:confused:

Also I don't understand why only the chinese tablet supports NTFS. It's because they paid to microsoft so they can use that filesystem?

How it's possible that any device supports a free filesystem like ext3???

I think that I will get rid of the lenovo a760...I need to use files larger than 4gb.
