You can flash any n7105 firmware on your device. You might have to enter your apn or flash the correct modem for your carrier but I doubt it while they are from the same country.

Dear all,

I had been using an old HTC Glacier with Android 2.3 until last week and just the I've got a new S5. Android 4.4 is very new to me, so I am sorry for the newbie questions.

It's my understanding that Google changed permissions so that apps cannot access the external card. Can rooted devices and/or custom ROMs allows that? (I plan to install the Project Infiity ROM soon.)

With my old phone (using CM 7) I could connect it via USB and have it recognized as a Mass Storage Device. Do custom ROMs allow that still?

Thanks!

Luis
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kawaiichi:
#1. you can use foldermount app to link internal sd's folders with external card

#2. since 4.3 USB mass storage have been removed in favor of MTP. I have not seen any new custom ROM with usb mass storage. However you can still browse your internal and external sd when you hook your phone to a computer, just know that MTP has piss poor speed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] helius@comcast.net:
What is MTP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aarongillion63:
MTP is where your device shows up as a "media player" or camera and is not assigned a drive letter. You can still access your files, but is much more restricted to where you can only copy, paste and delete. In order to modify or even rename you must copy them first, then do your modifications and then push them back. They did it this way to better protect the Android filesystem.

Now, with your S5 it is still possible to mount as mass storage. You will need root. If you have root, get terminal emulator and enter in su (to get su privileges) and then type "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage". DOING THIS DOES THE JOB BUT CAN POTENTIALLY MESS UP YOUR DEVICE. DO NOT USE THIS METHOD WITH MAC DEVICES. ONLY WINDOWS/LINUX. Windows XP recommended. Hope this helps!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] helius@comcast.net:
Thanks for the fast response! I was also wondering why MTP has such a lousy speed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aarongillion63:
Because MTP hosts a virtual filesystem, where the internal sd is secured and protected from the computer, whereas mass storage is a direct.

Say thanks if I was of help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] helius@comcast.net:
Understood. Also an app called WiFi file transfer has awesome xfer speeds for moving files to and from the PC.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] finotti:
Firstly, thanks all for the informative responses!

Have you tried this last "hack" with the GS5? That sounds great, although your remarks scare me a bit. :) (I'm virtually always on Linux, though, and own no Mac.)

Thanks again!

Luis
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aarongillion63:
I have not tried this with an S5 but I can confirm that this works with some S3's and S4's (doesn't work on Verizon/Sprint versions, got it to work once on at&t, however it would be logical to assume it's processor dependant as these devices come in multiple processor variants; my guess is it doesn't work on ARM and does on Exynos.)

Idk, it's worth a try, you will only mess up your device if you don't "safely remove hardware" during write.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Jakeobie:
Hey guys. Just did this for my phone on Verizon and a buddies on AT&T, but I'm having issue with a Sprint version.

I retrieve the token code via ADB (and also tried WinDroid's Universal toolkit), but when I submit the token I'm receiving the following error:

"Error Code: 160.

Error Reason: MID Not Allowed."

Everytime I run the command I get a different token, but even after 4 tokens it still produces that error. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

EDIT: DISREGARD. TOTAL USER ERROR.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Have you tried doing it manually through Htc Dev?

You shouldn't get 4 different tokens for the same phone...each phone has it's own unique token.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Jakeobie:
I thought getting multiple different codes was odd too. I had also tried using the fastboot command (fastboot oem get_identifier_token) if thats what you meant. So this definitely isn't something everyone is encountering on this model, right?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
First I've heard of it.

If you want to PM me the token I can give it a shot.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Jakeobie:
Disregard
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Globus.gd:
Hello.. I have the same problem. Every time I get different token. I'm using Hasoon2000 All-in-one toolkit

I havn't put any of generated token on htcdev because it is a little bit confusing

OK, using also fastboot oem get_identifier_token gives every time different token :/

I didn't think you were suppose to copy the header and the footer.

Just the characters of code.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drlzanej:
Lol, was waiting for someone to catch that. Absolutly Correct just the charachters. It actually tells you that and shows an example on the htcdev website
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Globus.gd:
I can read with understanding, also pictures on htcdev show what we need to copy

But the problem is different.

Header is not changed, numbers are different every time when you run
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doomberry:
Hello everyone!

I've just successfully rooted my HTC One under Android 4.4.2 and installed OneDroid, but I'm having a serious issue with it.

Essentially, it works just fine. However the UI (com.android.systemui) crashes as soon as I unlock my phone and keeps crashing every 2 seconds until I do a factory reset.

Do you have any idea how to solve this?

Could you also please tell me which model my phone actually is? I bought it in Switzerland, not simlocked.

I need this information, because I want to know which stock firmware to install, if ever needed.

Thank you in advance for helping me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] davidst95:
Hi,

I downloaded the latest firmware from sammobile for my Galaxy S4. It's version 4.4.2. I can not enable the wi-fi. Do you now what could be causing this error? I need the stock firmware for my Gear 2 watch to work correctly. Thank you.

I had the same think happen to me as well, i was on 4.3 rooted. So I tried some new 4.4.2 ROMs, noticed I wasnt able to enable WiFi, so I unrooted and went to stock 4.4.2. At first it said MK2 in build, so i rew flashed again. It finally said NB4 in build but again, no WiFi...

Tried wipe, factory reset, reflash, nothing fixes it...

Hi Guys,

I am a proud owner of an m7ul device and I am torn between the M8 and the M7...

My main concern is the speaker and Sound....will it be that bassy? (deep sounds)

lack of ois? and mic quality?

With the m7 I could stand next to the biggest speaker during a concert....and no distortion at all...

Will it be the same? :(((

Thanks in advance :)
[One (M8) General] crustyeye:
It's better.
[One (M8) General] an0ther:
Are you talking about recording next to a big speaker? If so, I have never done that so I can't compare that to my old m7. Completely honest opinion here. Pro's and cons when comparing with m7… Speakers sound the same to me, and I actually don't like the fact that you can't turn off the boomsound feature as you could turn off beats in the m7. I listen to metal and once I get the volume cranking, it really struggles with the double bass in the background. The m7 did this too, but you could turn off beats and it sounded better at high volume. I know they say they are 20% louder but it sounds about the same to me. Mic quality on phone call is great, as it should be in 2014. I'm not sure if that is the kind of mic quality you are talking about. Speed is noticeably faster. Wifi signal is outstanding, and cell signal is about on par with all flagship phones. Battery is simply amazing. Screen size is nice too. Motion gestures are a big plus to me. I know you could load kernels on m7 but they really do put a draw on the battery. Ext sd card is nice. Duo camera is kind of neat, but I wish they would have gone a different route with the camera. Soff within 10 days is awesome. These are just my opinions.
[One (M8) General] jirald:
Really worth it mate...i also have the m7 with purple issue on the camera...little bit disappointed but htc really knows how to build a beautiful phone and I couldn't resist it...i picked M8 and so far no complaints at all...simply perfect!

To the op look up either in the s3 or s4 forums of how to do this as im sure the process is pretty close if not identical. But dont use their modems. And as of now there is 1 modem for the s5 in the r.d.d.t rom thread.

I love my universal. Only it's a shame that the battery life is so short. To solve this I would be prepared to buy an extended battery.

I also love my silicone case. Without it I'm sure my device would slip out of my hands and it keeps my screen from having keyboard marks, I can't live without it.

Now my problem: if I buy an extended battery, my silicone case won't fit. Would it be possible to have a silicone case to also fit the universal with an extended battery? Are there any? If there are, I would love to buy one.

Does anyone else share this sentiment or am I alone in this?

If many people would like a case like this, maybe a manufacturer would pick up on it???

I had the same problem. In the end I chosed to buy an extend battery but I don't have a proper case for it. I solved the problem whit an case for a camera.
[Xperia Z2 General] ILS_SuperNova:
Hello all,

Feel like im having no luck with my phones. :( had a load of HTC One M8 all with problems.

Now im on my second Z2, first with that gap issue but this second one can only record full HD video for 7 mins on my test :(

So should I send it back? I tested this out by using google camera from play store and noticed the camera still running at 17 mins so would this mean softeware??
[Xperia Z2 General] flumps:
Really use should test with the stock camera app to rule out software.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pesetio:
That doesn't seem right. Have you tried 4K recording? Just curious to know how long your 4K videos would be before the overheat warning.

I just tested 4K recording just now, I got to 14:45 then got an overheat warning but the video saved. The phone wasn't even hot, it was just warm.

I think you should replace your phone, hope you have better luck with your new phone.
[Xperia Z2 General] napkun:
I think it may be a software issue also. I just tried recording a 4k video and my camera shut off at 4 minutes, the temperature right after the shutdown was 40 degrees C according to GSM battery monitor. I let the phone cool down to ambient temperatures and did some regular recording. I reached 17 minutes before manually shutting it down myself and the temperature was 40 degrees as well. My phone has gotten hotter than that while doing other things and it seemed fine. My guess is that the software is being too aggressive in trying to keep the phone cool during 4k recordings
[Xperia Z2 General] killalot:
I only got 4mins 30 seconds recording 4k then it shut down this is the reply from sony.

Dear Brian,

Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.

We are sorry to hear of the issues you have been experiencing with recording using 4K video on your Sony Xperia Z2.

Sony Mobile is aware of some users encountering issues when shooting 4K video for extended periods.

4K capture is an advanced and professional video recording experience and shooting movies at this resolution can make significant demands on your phone's processor, memory and battery life.

Therefore for the best experience, we recommend you install a high capacity SD card (Xperia Z2 can take a card up to 64GB) and shoot 4K video in short bursts of no longer than a few minutes at a time.

We hope this information is of some assistance.

For the latest news, information and product support please visit www.sonymobile.com.

If you require any further assistance then please do not hesitate to contact us again. Please use the below link for all our contact information.

[Xperia Z2 General] ahvipardik:
Wonder what they say if I would say to them that mine overheats on 1.14 min at 4k, is this also long period for recording :D?
[Xperia Z2 General] killalot:
The key point is they say "Sony Mobile is aware of some users encountering issues when shooting 4K video for extended periods."

so if its only some users does that mean us that are suffering the problem have a faulty phone :confused:
[Xperia Z2 General] nintendolinky:
1.14 minutes in my view isn't an extended period, recording my children for just over a minute then the phone shuts off in my opinion isn't acceptable.
[Xperia Z2 General] ILS_SuperNova:
Going back tomorrow but sounds to me this is happening on nearly every Z2 i havent tried 4K but will now.. But the fact that im getting only 7 mins on 1080p recording doesnt sound good...

This must be Sony software triggering a safety measure but its not needed as other camera apps work fine
[Xperia Z2 General] Pesetio:
I understand what your trying to say, but why are the times so inconsistent, like some users only getting 5 mins and other users like myself getting 15 mins?
[Xperia Z2 General] ILS_SuperNova:
This is a good point... Just tried 4K now and got 5 mins then camera shut off without a message.. Then tried another full HD and was up to 12 mins before i stopped then got the temp message...

Its a tricky one this.. After using google camera and getting longer it looked software but now with the different lengths of video it could actually be hardware....
[Xperia Z2 General] killalot:
just did another 4k video this time saved it to SD card got 5 mins then shut down with no warning and video is corrupt said 42 C on battery monitor so looks like 40 c is the cut off temp.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pesetio:
Could be a combination of both, I will do more 4k recordings when my screen protector arrives and see if the videos will last close to the same time as my first try.
[Xperia Z2 General] ILS_SuperNova:
Another test on 1080p 60fps gave me a camera shut down at 2 half mins :0 this is simpley shocking stuff on Sonys behalf..

Theres another thread on here regarding when users Z2 were made and some say theirs has overheating problem and others with same build time havent.. Not even any gaps to speak of..

Im hoping tomorrow i will recieve a better unit or Im gonna have to go back Samsungs way :(
[Xperia Z2 General] Dmands:
So the way I look at this, is under the Sales of Goods act in the UK, as Sony are advertising this as a 4k camcorder phone, given the current issue, its not of merchantable quality. I will stick with the Z2 for another 4 months (I love the phone in all other respects), in the hope they can rectify the issue by firmware and/or by a hardware revision and a unit swap. If neither of these materialise, I request a full refund and move to whatever is the best phone on the market at that time. I'm in a similar position with the Z2 tablet and its touchscreen response problem.
[Xperia Z2 General] zanndoth:
u guys are lucky. i get the over heating notice when recording 4K for 53 sec. :confused:
[Xperia Z2 General] ILS_SuperNova:
Lucky.. I get it on standard full hd recording... I wont use 4K but full hd i.will
[Xperia Z2 General] killalot:
If recording 1080p and it shuts down after a min etc take it back i tried 1080p last night got over 30 minutes no warnings etc i closed it down myself battery temp was showing about 35 oC
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
To be honest guys. These are the first generation of 4k video recording devices. It'll take some time to make this feature solid
[Xperia Z2 General] jonmorris:
If the hardware isn't up to the job yet, the feature should probably be disabled. A bit late now of course, but Sony must have done sufficient testing and been aware of the overheating issue before it was unveiled at MWC?

I do think that Sony will be working hard to fix the problem in software, so there's perhaps still hope (does the Note 3 get that hot when recording 4K for example?) but otherwise I think this problem isn't going to go away and sooner or later some of the big websites, Watchdog (a consumer programme in the UK for those that aren't from here) and so on will go to town on them.
[Xperia Z2 General] SexyIceCream:
i think the Z3 will be out and bury everything underneath the carpet by then...
[Xperia Z2 General] jonmorris:
The question will be if even Snapdragon 805 will be able to deal with 4K video without running too hot, or else the problem will persist.

And sadly I don't think that Sony will get off the hook. Even if the mainstream media doesn't pick up on the problem, you can be sure the fanboys that would do anything to hurt Sony will not let them get away with it.
[Xperia Z2 General] corallus:
Not been using the phone too much today so just idle tempo, but just got 4k video to 14.37 @ 5.63GB before warning message. File saved fine.
[Xperia Z2 General] hanano17:
Did you save to sd or internal?

Finally decided to test my video capturing. HD crapped out at 8:30 (heat) and 4k doesn't even work. 4K started to work at first, then it said error. Since then, every time I try it says an error occurred. One time it even required a reboot to fix the camera, as everything came up black including picture taking. I even tried googles new camera app and it was coming up black. Not sure if that has any significance, but figured i'd mention it. A reboot got it working again and I don't care much for 4k....but i'm a bit annoyed by our HD results so far. Gonna try again in a bit.

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

I also seem to be getting an odd bug where when i record video, the screen stays frozen but the video still records as normal...kinda odd.
[Xperia Z2 General] Dmands:
Do a google search for Sony recall and seems Sony R&D is lacking some thermometers, suffering from overheating TV's to laptop battery's and now phones. What I dont get is Sony have publicly admitted to the Z2 issue, yet gambled on continuing to launch the phone in further regions without a root cause rectification.
[Xperia Z2 General] mujj:
Got the phone today around 2. Been playing with it since. Tried 4K recording a little while ago. Got it to 4:48 and I got the overheat message. The camera app just closed, but the video was saved. Didn't feel too hot so I installed Gsam straight after and the temperature was only 36C. Within a few mins the phone was 30C again. Haven't tried normal 1080p recording yet though.

All in all loving this phone so far.

Z2 overheat is a problem

The 4K video - overheat and app close down at 4 mins

Full HD 1920 x 1080 video - overheat and app close down at 8 mins

In comparsion to my old Samsung S3:

Full HD 1920 x 1080 video - 20 mins and going until I hit the stop button and no overheat.

There is also report of self cracked glass back (link here) , due to overheat issue?

I'm sorry to be the one that have to remind you guys about Sony's Vaio Pro laptops that have big WiFi problems and they are still unresolved (just Google "Vaio Pro Wifi Problems"). In some cases Sony ended up giving $15 WiFi USB dongles for free to use with a $1300-$2000 laptop because they have no solution.

[Xperia Z2 General] placebo1978:
Hi,

I got my Z2 yesterday and also have the overheating issue. Somewhere here i read, that some apps, like "Focal" don't have those issues. So today, a windy day 12 degrees, I made a new test. I installed Focal, wanted to do 4k, ain't doable yet. So, i did not close the app, let it run in the background and started to use the stock camera app to do a 4k movie and to my surprise I nearly made a 19min video (storage was full after that). Maybe I had luck, maybe it was the weather (cold enough), but maybe it was Focal running in the background. The video was saved on the internal storage.

Can someone please test this to confirm?

I have the 17.1.A.2.55 version and the phone is SimLock free with no carrier "things".

I hope this will be a good workaround. :)
