Would this resolve the issue some people have been having with not being able to find Watch Styler or Toggles in the Samsung App Store?

Plus if I was using the Gear 2 Neo in Canada, will using the UK update, brick the smartwach?

Thanks!

im having save problem , no watch styler in Samsung apps , im rooted and running a rom cant find it , nephew is complete stock , both in Canada and it doesn't show up.
[Samsung Gear 2] Travel gnome:
did you try using tunnel bear to change location to NL and see if it showed there after clearing the Samsung Apps cache/data ?

did this work for anyone else ?

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbadk:
I have been building roms for my phones the last couple of years - for HTC ONE X and HTC ONE.

But with the Z2 i'm facing a problem.

I extracted the system SIN file and the EXT4 filesystem inside the system sin.

Then I made a simple setup with all the nesseray files like like updater-script and so on.

I just have 1 problem. When it boot, the logo shows up and the music starts playing and then freezes and it keeps the same tone and restarts the phone.

Maybe someone knows how i can fix this?

PS: The phone firmware image is 17.1.A.2.69 for D6503 downloaded with Sony Update tool

Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Hmm odd

Well you havent given enough details about your issue for me to help much

Could you provide all version info

The sin file version, kernel version etc

Also perhaps a list of mods you have done if any

And how it crashes during boot

Bootloop, freeze then loop,.etc
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
hmm the rom is 900mb i think the system partition is 739mb

try downsizing the rom
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dream_sequence:
Is the advertised battery life correct ... because i cant seem to get anywhere close to the standby stated hours. Is standby mode equal to shutting off your magician [ie. red button on right side]?

Anyways, with the screen on, but the backlight off, i can only get roughly 5-6 according to my battery indicator [battery pack pro]. Its even less if i use the pocket pc to play music :(

Just wondering if this is the norm, or should I try to get a new battery? Any tips to conserve precious battery life ... aside from dimming backlights?[/quote]
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toomuchdogfur:
standy times are always absolute BS, no matter what phone they're plastered to :wink:

mine gets about 2 days use with few calls, about an hr of mp3s and perhaps an episode of the chaser's war on everything.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dream_sequence:
damn, thats awesome.

(1) You just using the main battery? or do you also use the backup internal battery as well?

(2) How frequently are you charging? I mean, do you wait till you battery is low after 2 days to charge? or are you charging it every so often during those 2 days of use?

(3) What kind of battery indicator software or program are you using [if not the one already installed in settings/system/battery]?

(4) Do you leave your screen off or on when you arent using it?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Krinkiespijer:
...mine: 9 hrs. wmplayer playing with screen off and 1½ hrs internet browsing; standby? why should i?

Now i bought a 2400 mAh battery instead off 1200 and indeed it's doubled now...

(1) which backup internal battery?

(2) i'm charching as soon as it's below 10%

(3) i use batterymemstatus including overclock

(4) i prefer shutting off the screen especially to prevent touching any button by accident...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toomuchdogfur:
1: Just the main battery, the standard 1200mAH that comes with the Mini. btw you can't actually 'use' the internal backup battery - thats just there to prevent the data in your main memory from being wiped out if your main battery goes dry!

2: I usually charge when the battery drops below 20% (ie. the first 'low battery' warning) as if it drops below 10% then certain functions are disabled (accessing your SD card for example :))

3: Resco Today Plugin, comes bundled with Resco Explorer. It uses the built-in battery monitor anyway, like most today screen battery monitor plugins.

4: Off. Backlight switches off after 30s of inactivity, screen off after 3 minutes, but I usually press the power button before I slip it back into my pocket.

I use PocketMusic for mp3s, which switches the screen off automatically after 30s (but still keeps playing!), and TCPMP for video - my videos are all encoded in XviD, which requires significantly less processing power than WMV (in TCPMP anyway) while keeping a good compression ratio, meaning less battery drain.

By the way! Make sure that in Settings > Connections > Beam that your PPC isn't set to recieve incoming beams... that can have a noticeable effect on battery life.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] esackbauer:
This weekend, when my battery got below the 25% mark after a long time of keeping it always between 40 and 100%, I noticed that my device suddenly went black while playing Sudoku.

After 1 minute I could switch it back on, presenting the boot screen. No data was lost. However, as soon as it gets to log on to the cell network, it would shut off again. I had to charge it to at least 30% to be able to get a cell connection again.

Would this be a sign of a dying battery?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] cheshirecat:
Unfortunately yes, it's the start of the death spiral. :?

Mine was worst; my Mini would shut off suddenly at around the 40% level. Upon closer examination of the battery it appears a little bloated in the centre, so I guess all that accumulated heat from charging did kill my battery eventually.

I changed a new battery a few months back and could now go as low as 3% before the device shuts off. :)

Re: Battery Life - How long? Tips to conserve precious power

Hey Krinkiespijer,

Where did you get hold of the 2400 mAh battery? Are they expensive?

Cheers,

James
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toomuchdogfur:
I would bet ebay. ebay.com.au used to be swarming with 2400mAH batteries but they seem to have disappeared :(.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Hippaforalkus:
They are a bit pricey, but I still see a couple of them in ebay. But remember that they're quite large and your Magician wont fit into the stock case.

Also, try tools such as Pocket Hack Master which allow you to underclock the CPU, consuming less power. You can also use em to set CPU speed based on process usage.

Hi,

Just curious if anyone else has came across this issue before or if maybe I'm missing something. :confused:

I have an exchange account linked to the device using the stock app.

If I go into sent items the emails are listed by sender. This makes it difficult to identify the email that I am looking for.

I have tried to find a way of altering this to receiver but have had no luck.

Am I missing something or is this poor design with regards the default mail app?

I had a look through the existing threads and didn't see any regards this issue, my apologies if I have missed any.

This is annoying me a little, wondering if anyone can help.

My Facebook contacts are linked to my google contacts, and when first done the pictures automatically updated my google contact images.

However, now when somebody updates their facebook photo, the new photo is synced to the phone (can see it if you go and try to edit a contact, in the facebook tab) but it doesn't overwrite the google contact photo (The old facebook photo), which is still shown in phonebook/messaging as default.

Any way to stop this happening, and always show the latest facebook photo?

Hi guys, currently i am having issues with my Galaxy Note:

-Sometimes i receive SMS 30-45 Minutes after they have been sent, that happens about 2 or 3 times a week

-Sometimes people call me (with 3 of 4 signal strength bars) and they cant get trough, they reach my mailbox

-Sometimes people call me and after 3-4 Minutes the call stops and they have to call me again.

My Setup:

Galaxy Note N7000 with CM11.0 - But im quiet sure i had this problem with other ROMs too (But all CM, no Stock Samsung ROMs)

Mods:

I changed the USB Connector on my Note because it was broken - The USB Board has the Antenna Plug but i fixed it the right way, i did everything as intended.

Other things:

-Sometimes my Wifi is not able to turn on but after a reboot i can turn it back on all the time (Might be CM Related? No Samsung ROM)

I hope you can help me, i rly want to have a working phone again.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
Did you have these problems before you changed the USB connector? If no, this is your answer.

"quite sure": be absolutely sure by installing a stock rom and test it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erichbitch:
Thats what im gonna try

1: Compare Antenna dBm (right now -111 to -81) from the replacement USB Board with the old USB Board - Maybe its the new board

2: Stock Samsung ROM (rooted)

If nothing helps im pretty sure i need a new phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erichbitch:
Gonna try that! I also have barely 1 bar very often

Hi all

In love with this phone but one niggly very irritating issue I haven't been able to get around.... Calendar shows all Facebook birthdays and I can't seem to turn this "feature" off. Any ideas???
[Xperia Z2 General] cedropol:
Try to get in Calendar, and on the screen at top left side you have three lines, it opens options of calendar view and on/off each calendars. Try to off some - involved with fb.
[Xperia Z2 General] czar.nik:
Tried that. Sadly none of them effect the Facebook birthdays.
[Xperia Z2 General] zaask:
Are you using Xperia with Facebook app?

You can see if this app is enabled in auto sync in settings. If yes, then, click on it and there you will see Calendar option under Application control setting, uncheck it and it will remove all the calendar related stuff from the phone.

I also uncheck the Calendar sync option within the Facebook app setting which you access from inside the app.

Hope this help you. If it doesn't work try logging out from the FB app, clearing its cache and login again and make sure you remove this check before everything sync, otherwise you will have same issue.

I am unable to find "Samsung 2000 mAh original battery with back cover"i.e.EB-K1A2EBEGSTD in India. Any attempts to search the product online leads me to links which are dead or have the product as out of stock. There was just one link which was selling it but it was from UK and the overall expense was 42 pounds which is more than 3k in INR. I do not think the original product costs that much.

Tried to search on XDA with no success.

Hello.

I've wrote it before that my phone just random likes to reboot itself like once every day.

I also noticed that usually after these reboots it shows up app update notifications. But when the phone is on, these notifications don't show up. I have to either check manually or it will show up when the phone restarted from a reboot. Or if I restart it myself.

I have notifications set to on for this.

Wondering if this might be one of the reasons my phone decides to reboot. It hasn't failed yet, it is one reboot per day. And it's random when I use the phone.

I'm hoping it's a software bug in the new firmware. I've already tried the repairs, flashed other roms and so in. Tried a new sim card and also a new microsd card. Still the same.

Is it really true that the custom roms are better than stock roms?

And what make the difference
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid2drummer:
Depends on what yoyr comparing. As far as your likes on either aosp or stock roms. I find its a mood thing for me. Some days i prefer the stability (in most cases) of stock roms. Better use of the actual features you paid the money for on the device. Then some days the total customization of aosp. Depending on the build release. Stable and all running great on a stock oem carrier branded flagship could be the fastest most fun. But your camera may not work as well etc. Etc. ...Its really personal choice. That is the answer most will give you.

However in my experiences, id have to say most flagships today or released in past year are just great out of box. Most should be. Maybe debloat a bit. But really. Its all choice. Well id better crash. Been on a 36 hour build here. Pooped. You can always build yourself an environment and learn a few things about building your own rom from source. But though i dont share mine anymore here you could. Many would like anything to just flash. And really that about what this becomes after a few years if your not building your own. Lol. But like most of us die hards around here if nothing else its quite fun. So go flash and test. Enjoy.
