In the folder from unlock.zip, is the build.prop, place build.prop on SD card then use a root file manager like root browser to move to /system

yes, re-flash radio, rename old /system/build.prop to build.prop.bak, then copy new build.prop to /system, and reboot phone.

Sorry to bother you, but I can't rename or delete the build.prop/old or to copy/move new build.prop. Is there other methods to do those? tks

If you can't do that app does not have root access.

Did you verify root? Try root basic in play store.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Captain Quack:
been looking all over. is there an app or anything that will give me a run down of what apps are accessing my wireless (wifi or mobile) data and how much they use? my battery life has been really low over the last 3 weeks (6 hours on standby) and all of a sudden I'm only down 15% overnight with wifi on.

there was a nice app that did all that and locked out what you wanted but that seems to be gone and I heard it was bricking phones.

or am I totally way off the beam here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] montecarlo5:
not sure if this will help but there is an app built in to settings-data usage. it shows what and how much an app has used. gives an option to restrict background data. if you hit the menu button you can pick to show wifi and mobile data. as far as a stand alone app from market, not sure, never looked for one.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TravisBean:
They are both about the same price, so which is the more desirable/better version ?

Lets throw in a poll while we're at it..............
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TravisBean:
This article basically says that text, icon, and font size (which are very important factors to me) are larger on the Google Play edition, but the Sony version has better software optimization for this device.

http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/20/5229978/sony-xperia-z-ultra-z-ultra-google-play-edition-review

Which one runs graphics intensive games more smoothly ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] schecter7:
Tough call - totally depends on your personal preference. I'd go with the Sony version as it's almost as clean as the stock android and I actually like their walkman, album app (& album widget) better than the stock versions.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Sony version. You can flash the GPe ROM on the Sony version, but you can't flash a Sony ROM on the GPe version (yet).The stock Sony ROM is very good.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mingkee:
How about Google Wallet with NFC?

Nexus (Google) edition seems to work for sure, but how about Sony version?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] _Dennis_:
All/most 4.4 Phones work with wallet from what i understand, certainly the stock Sony one does. I have it set up on mine right now (haven't the opportunity to use it yet but maybe tomorrow for lunch I can try.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jutley:
We may be able to flash a duel boot to allow sony rom and GPE rom soon.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sadman Khan:
Go for the Sony one. Like LordManhattan said, you can use GPE on it if you wish. And trust me, Sony's optimisations on stock rom, are better.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Indeed. I love AOSP, but Sony did a great job with their version, and that's why I've mostly been using stock since I got it last September.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adibeckett:
Maybe this has been repeated ad nauseam already but the Sony edition will do Tmobile LTE right? That's concerning thing to me since the GPE is the north american version. Or have I got this all wrong?

Sony edition being the C6833 of course.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mingkee:
C6806 and C6833 work with T-Mobile HSPA and LTE.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adibeckett:
Thanks for the fast reply! I also assume that both version will get the Kitkat 4.4.3 update at the same time?

If that so, I might as well get the C6833.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] _Dennis_:
I can verify google wallet works with mox ROM which is Sony based.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Sony sell both the c6806 and c6833 LTE versions, the GPe only comes in the c6806 flavour

The GPe will get the update to 4.4.3 well before Sony release it for their own phones, but once released for the GPe it should only be a day or two before it's ported to the Sony hardware - as long as there isn't too big a change to the kernel.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] henryonxda:
is there a noob friendly guide on how to do this? sorry this is my first android device and i'm new to this scene.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Read the stickies at the top of this section, then read them again ;)

It works like this:

Downgrade (see my down grade thread)

Root (see LordManhattan's thread or mine)

Back up TA

Flash latest Sony FTF

Unlock BL

Flash boot.img of the rom you want (extracted from the zip file)

Boot into recovery and wipe as needed

Flash ROM
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Do whatever Blueether said. If that's incredible confusing to you since it's your first Android, PM me, BUT try it out yourself first, since I usually don't help people through PM (unless you're completely lost).

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] henryonxda:
Thank you so much for the swift response. I will definitely try this out myself before I PM anyone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Just read the guides, all the info you need is there, it can just be a bit daunting at first. Those instructions are minimalistic and are a reference so you can see the steps needed, there is of course more to it than that but you can see what you need to look into
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adibeckett:
Nvm, pretty much set on the Sony version.

Thanks everyone!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jrob2k:
Yeah. Thanks everyone, i've also decided to go with the Sony version.

Yes, Sony's C6833--the so-called international version--will support all T-Mobile LTE bands today.

Only users of AT&T LTE need to be concerned by the C6833's limitations in North America.

If you use T-Mobile LTE AND plan to travel outside of North America, I would say that the C6833 would be a sounder choice than the C6806 or the C606-based Google Play Edition.

But bear in mind that no current model of the Z Ultra supports LTE Band 12 that T-Mobile will deploy in late 2014 or LTE Band 29 that AT&T will deploy (for supplementary capacity in big cities) in 2015.

To illustrate the different bands supported, I've made this comparison chart.

Of the three LTE versions,
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mark2573:
Can someone with the GPe confirm that the GPe ROM comes with a FM radio application? I did not believe the GPe had the radio app while I can confirm that the 6806 sony version does. -Mark
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It doesn't have the radio as far as i know. The GPe ROM doesn't, and that's a clean port. It still has the FM bands though, so a 3rd party radio app will work just fine. I don't know if the Sony radio app will work if you try to install it on the GPe, so someone with the GPe or running the GPe ROM will have to try that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TravisBean:
Bump this thread.

$350 dollar deals are available for both versions of the ultra z and I still haven't decided on which one ??
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
If you can get the Sony version with the lte bands needed for your carrier at same price as GPe I would suggest getting it. The GPe port for Sony is fully functional if you decide you want stock Google experience.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bushako:
Definitely get the Xperia version. The aosp rom is easily ported to the xperia but it's harder to port the stock roms to the gpe.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TravisBean:
It seems the general consensus is that the sony version is better for rooting. I don't plan on rooting the phone and am interested in which version is easier to use and runs more smoothly out of the box ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bushako:
I can't say for the experience of the GPEsince I've never used it but I know it would lack alot of the options available in stock. As for stock rom experience it's one of the best I've used and my previous phone was a Nexus 5. So believe me when I say the stock is pretty smooth and stable.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naturalstamina:
My s4 could do this. now it gives an offline error. What the hell is wrong with the s5? It's like they hired someone from iPhone genius product team. This is a step backwards. Also phone never connects to 4g. Probably a personal problem
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hEaTLoE:
Sounds like the problem is one in the same because if you aren't on 4G (or wifi) you can't simultaneously talk or text and use data.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeeab:
Do you know if other phones in your area get 4g? If so, try roobooting/ re inserting your Sim card. You could also try to change your network from "global" to "LTE/CDMA".

My RAZR had this problem all the time and usually a reboot helped. Or 4g could be out (was out for a week in my town).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilroy1stcav:
Did the geniuses at Verizon give you a new SIM card with your S5 our use your old one? When I got muy S5 they tried to use my old one and it had all sorts of problems, the next day I went back and a guy who knew what he was doing asked the very question I opened up with and I told him the reused my old one, and here told me the came with a new one for a reason! He switched it out, all little bugs gone, worked great until the camera gave out, but that is a different issue!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naturalstamina:
Thank you all for the replies. costco rep advised me to call tech support so I'm giving that a try before taking back in for 2nd return (first return for defective bluetooth)

They originally had me use my Sim card and took mine out the phone that it came with. Then the NFc didn't work because of sim. So i go there and get a sim they pulled out of another s5 like they did mine and told me to call Verizon to activate it.

Thing is. 4g was working fine on that phone. Bluetooth was the problem and now on this device the 4g. I think it's the 4G hardware...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DANIEL AMBRUSO:
Right.. Hardware related.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliwigy:
but yes.. you can only use data while on the phone if your phone has 4g or on wifi since 3g uses the same signal as your calls do so fix the 4g and you should b good to go

[General Questions and Answers] birkhoff_fred:
My DCIM folder weirdly became empty for some reason after I plugged my phone into my computer to download some photos.

I took some 20 or 30 pictures today and thought I had them in my DCIM folder. As I reached home and tried to copy them to my computer, I found that the DCIM folder was completely empty. I tried to search my gallery on my phone but it couldn't find any photos that were camera taken either. I took 1 or 2 photos to see if it stores them and it does. Right in the DCIM folder.

Before this happened, I know I checked my gallery for camera taken pictures yesterday and they were there. I am almost positive that it happened sometime between me starting to take photos today and the time I arrived home and plugged it in.

I am wondering what might cause such a thing to happen. None of my other data on either the phone storage or the SD card is missing from what I can notice, just the DCIM folders are empty. My phone is rooted and changed some system apps, deleted some, added some. I am wondering if this could be something related to memory management of the Camera app, which is the default one.

I think, but I am not completely sure, that as I was taking the photos I could notice the remaining photos count dropping and when I reached home, even though the DCIM folders were empty, the number didn't rise back.

What's even weirder is that I used a data recovery tool from the web and it did indeed find some deleted files on both my sd card and my phone storage but not one single picture of the ones I took.

Any ideas? Has this ever happened to you? Any possible solutions, maybe?

Thanks,

Fred
[General Questions and Answers] birkhoff_fred:
Update

I found the pictures. I am not sure if they're all of them but I believe so. They were in my LOST.DIR folder, for some reason.

Can you guys think of an explanation for which all of my DCIM contents got moved to LOST.DIR? Also the extensions on all of them was lost. They were files without extensions, like text files in Linux. I had to run a for command in shell to rename them all.

Hey Guys,

for our Device(s), the Xperia ZL (its also the same on the Xperia Z) we have for many months now some sound problems with nearly every custom rom based on cm. While playing music we are getting a very annoying brzzzzz sound every few seconds. There is a fix for this problem (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49801427&postcount=262), but this fix never did make it to a rom expect (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2690755&page=19). Now my question: could you pls implement this fix into your build? Its really annoying because for now, there is simply no rom we can use if we want to play music expect stock. Another solution is to increase the minimum cpu speed, but this cause a higher battery drain.

Thanks.
