[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyS1gn:
So my Z2 arrives tomorrow. I should stay on .55 fw or upgrade to .69?

I ask this because i heard .69 suffers from battery draining.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fenix:
I run 69 for few weeks, works great.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shollywood:
I find 69 drains battery faster and phone gets hotter now, never did before.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyS1gn:
Any changelog to the .69?

Im gonna stay on .55 than.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanndoth:
indeed. i've got confirmation on this from the Sony support in sg. the next update supposed to fix this.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben Ling:
Wait for the new 17.1.1.A.0.402 update then ;)

Should be releasing soon.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyS1gn:
I will.

BTW the phone is amazing :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AirBaker:
FWIW, the auto brightness setting appears to be brighter/better on .69, although maybe it's just my imagination.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftSmoke:
You could always make a ftf copy of .55 then upgrade to 69. If you don't like it downgrade ;)

heres a link to instructions for Tabz pretty sure its no different for z2.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
When I bought the device i upgraded to .69. Everything was ok until today. It seems today began the dreaded battery drain. Is there any way to avoid it or will I have to wait for it until the next update? I know I can go back to the .55, but I do not know if it would be the case.

I do not know if it's just my impression or is it really happening. It may even be in different conditions I am submitting the device, such as poor network, etc..

Hello guys,

I don't know if this discussion should be in here, please forgive me if not. Anyway I had my GTI9300 for more than a year now. Tried about 15-20 Roms and 2-3 kernels. Now it is time to choose one. I am finding this task very hard so can you guys help me with it?

I want the best LIGHTWEIGHT rom and kernel combination that will make my battery last LONG!

[General Questions and Answers] leijonasisu:
It's not possible for someone to help you with this. The whole point of the verification is to verify that it's your phone and number and that you can use the service.
[General Questions and Answers] Andre4stack:
No that's not the point. The point is,when you register from the US it gives you an option to have a free USA virtual number, whereas when you register from outside the US it doesn't give that option. All I need is someone who could help me register it with their phone so that I would be able to have the US number generated within the app itself. I will provide an email. it doesn't require any verification of number. you can delete the app afterwards

I'm the owner of the Z1c since 10 days now...I'm quite happy with it...I had before the lg G2, the only down side of the z1c is about the frontal camera and the filming with low light ...I was on a talk on skype and I was shocked by how bad the image quality is....compared to my old G2...I wonder if there is a way to improve it???

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirtylarry11:
Wouldn't it be cool to be able to have 2 separate wallpapers? One for Portrait, and one for landscape? I am no developer or anything but is this even possible? Could a script be written that would auto run on a rotation? like when in portrait view it selects the "pre-chosen" wallpaper, and then when rotated it selected a landscape view wallpaper? Like I said, I have no clue if these is even feasible, I was just brainstorming.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExperimentalHDX:
Hi all,

I've grown tired of the issues that both Cyanogenmod & Omnirom have with social networking apps (the camera has issues). There are more reasons, but they're not important.

I'd like to know what other roms are out there that run kitkat and don't have issues with the things I mentioned before.

Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
There's no official Kit Kat for your phone. You would have to use a custom rom like CyanogenMod or something along those lines. The LG Support Tools sucks. You should try using this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498102

I gave you the link to the latest KDZ (official firmware) for the Indian version in your other thread. I'm also not sure if many custom roms support the language you are looking for either. Basically you would want to root (Safe Root or Framaroot should work) then use FreeGee to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery. Then boot to recovery, backup rom, and wipe, and install new one.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] coldblooded79:
I looked at the original Note right before we signed our contract with At&t. I ended up going with the iPhone 5. I ended up selling my 5 for $350 a few weeks ago, and wanted to play around with Android some more before my upgrade in October. I picked up a mint i717 the other day for $100. It was still running ICS. I quickly rooted it, and now I'm running Beanstalk with uber kernel, and couldn't be happier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vintage144:
been running avatar rom for damn near a year , I tried running a beta (very disastrous) ,was doing nightlies but stuck to a stable , now if you dont want kitkat stick with Blackstar (i think is the name ) cant be beat !

As far as the NOTE 2 goes ,Ive had problem after problem with it , nothing against it , just my experience and the LG is trash period , the Moto X is awesome for a stock (no chance of unlocking the BL) , i HAVE TO SAY IF I DIDNT GO CUSTOM THE MOTO X WOULD BE MY FONE!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vintage144:
I dont have that issue and wasnt aware of it , I did have a similiar issue with my winfone Samsung Focus , cant remember how i cleared it but had to do with the secret menu on the phone itself
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] beastlykings:
I'm still rocking the note!

Glad to see others are too. Sure it's had its problems over the years, but it's still running OK.

I had the power button issue, the GPS issue, and I'm on my 3rd battery, but I still love it!

I'm running Candy Kat 4.4, most stable for me I've found, but I'll have to look into the suggestions you've made on what your running right now, I'm do for a clean wipe anyway ;)

Sadly I am in the market for an upgrade, I will probably take a chance on the one plus one later this year (when it might be possible to find an invite without fighting a few hundred thousand other people for it).

I figure for the price it can't hurt to give it a go. I am without contract right now and I'd like to keep it that way lol.

*EDIT*

Also, I have the same echo issue, I never knew there was a fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ctown25:
I love my Note but the USB port bummed out on me a few days ago. No longer charges, but I plan on getting it fixed. Beanstalk has been my DD for a month or so. I have been looking at other phones though, possibly a Nexus or HTC

While I have moved onto the Note 3 myself, my original note is still running strong for my mom.

I too was thinking of rocking a Note in 2014. Found one for $70, is it worth it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] beastlykings:
I'll honestly say, my phone still handles all the things I throw at it, just fine. Games like asphalt 8, etc, seem to run just fine.

I actually just got an invite for a oneplus one, so I will be upgrading. But if I didn't have the option, the note would still be fine.

If you're looking for a phone, and you don't want to spend a bunch of money, and it's in good condition, $70 isn't bad for a note. If I can get mine on a more stable Rom I'll probably give it to my mom, her galaxy s2 is giving her fits.

. It essentially defrags your phone and cleans out the bloatware. I used it on my Note 8 as well. YOU have to be careful of what you pick but I found it easy to use. Check it out.

Trust me when I tell you this . Clean master is not going to improve anything with your phone . The scripts in these custom Roms do the same thing plus way more . Don't let these type of apps mislead you. In some cases they cause way more problems than they solve . Just look at the comments from others in this thread that have more experience . What they say is 100% correct . This app is not unique in any way
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 1iwilly:
when i tried clean master every rime it finish cleaning and you make it clean it always came back with the same results that it found 56mb of stuff you hit clean then run again same results to me history eraser does a better job.haven't tried ccleaner for android yet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spirodave:
To me none of them do a better job . You don't need any cleaner . . The reason you keep getting the same results is because there are no results to get . All of these cleaners are a complete waste . Why do you think the developers do not include these in any of their Roms ? The more you start to understand how your cell phone works and how the android OS works you wont waste your time with any cleaners again. . Save yourself and stop using these cleaners . When people have any little problem with their phone they always reach for cleaners . YOU DONT NEED ANY OF THEM

Hi,

I have a Huawei phone, Model number U8860, Android Version 4.0.3, Baseband 404029, Build U8860IV100R001C17B923SP03 which I bought from Amazon.co.uk and came from China.

The phone is Rooted.

When I hold the Vol + and Power buttons it boots to:

Android System recovery <3e>

Android system recovery utility

I select:

apply update from sdcard

I then select:

gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

I'm then told that:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

I have installed ClockWorkMod and TWRP but both tell me that my phone is unsupported.
