[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] NEERO:
I have been using my grand for more then a year now, it is the only cellphone I used during this period or you can say primary phone or daily driver and here is my experience-

(Rooted,Stock Rom 4.2.2)

Hardware side-

The side bezel is still holding that silver coating except from the part where the charging cable is plugged and some places near the back cover.

I would say that it fine.(Have never dropped the phone and hope to keep it that way)

Screen -

The screen is well protected by this scratch less screen guard (using it for more then 4 months) which gives a little sparkling effect which I find little annoying but is ok as I have used my cell without flipcover for like more then 1 month and still scratches can't be seen on the screen (Unless one looks closely for them).

The screen is quite big for my hands and after using this phone I feel that a 4.7 inch would be more suitable to me, also I feel that they have increased the screen size by expanding the breadth more then it should have been which make it a little uncomfortable to hold and gives it a cheap look(just my view).

Sim-

I have had 2 sims on my phone but never really used the second one except for a month or so, in my experience the phone becomes quite laggy when both sims are kept active and more so when you use your second sim for data and first for calls.

Switching between the sims gave lag of like 2 seconds and sometimes even more.

Hang-

When the remaining internal memory gets lower then 1gb the phone becomes real slow and near 700 mb or less left it hangs for like once or twice a day(in which case i had to reboot the phone by long pressing the power button)

I have to delete all useless apps(mostly games) as I do not like link2sd, gives mount script error on reboot and have got my nexus 7 for gaming and stuff and have put all my music(20 gb plus) amd titanium backup on my 64gb external card.

When the free internal memory is like 1.2gb or more the phone works fine.

Battery-

I use Greenify to stop apps that are less important from running in the background and consuming the battery.

I have ran this phone from 100% to 1% for 42 hours during which I made like 30min of phone calls and near to no use of internet(whenever used it was on my wifi) and rest of the time it was idle, the network was WCDMA ONLY on my BSNL sim, that was the highest I analyzed, maybe it can do better but I don't bother putting it to test.

Issues-

(Other then those mentioned above)

When continuously using the Samsung Keyboard for more then 5 minutes I experienced massive delay in keyboard, almost to the extent where I had to exit the app and restart, this was not one time thing as it went on to happen consecutively 3 more times.

(I was using Google Keep)

In also lags a little bit in general usage.

While using any app if I long press the home button most of the time the app I was last using is not present in the recent apps list,this is quite prominent and is noticed on a daily basis.

Now when I go to the home screen then go back to the recent apps the last app is still not in the recent apps section.

4.2.2 update kinda destroyed some stuff which was pretty fine in 4.1.2 like the switching from dual sim thing and also the internal memory bug. I'd recommended switching to one of these KitKat ROMs out there.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] NEERO:
I won't mind switching to a KitKat ROM if they implement dual Sim functionality with considerable perfection, most probably by then I might as well have switched to some other cellphone.

I agree 4.1.2 felt more stable, they also removed the option to share music directly from the default player, I miss that one some times.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] datasai7755:
pls tell diffrence between 4.1.2 and 4.2.2

can i revert back from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 if u say that it was bug free....what all features i would loose....pls tell...my gallery app is very laggy....and everything else ....pls explain.....
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] skpadhi79:
oh yes..u can always revert back to 4.1.2..just download the latest 4.1.2 country specific firmware ( in this case india i guess ) from sammobile and flash via odin....:good::good:

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] datasai7755:
what features i will not get in 4.1.2....or is it same as 4.2.2......does 4.1.1 is lag free
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] NEERO:
4.2.2 gave more functionality, like the lock screen widgets on left and app drawer or whatever you say on right, transparent notification bar, stock gallery saw a little change in the interface and many more things, like the light effect to unlock and so on.

Though most usefull one I feel was the vibration effect i.e. the phone vibrates when a call is picked up on the other side, saves a few seconds of distraction or a little less radiation to your head if you want to talk scientifically, earlier I achieved this feature by using an xposed module.

Regarding problems in 4.2.2 I have written all of them in the OP, most noticeable is the recent apps not showing up and that keyboard lag.

If you want to revert back to 4.1.1 then have a look at -

Personally I think that if single Sim is not a problem for you then you can try cyanogen mod builds, I haven't tried it myself as I think that it ruins the whole point of having a dual Sim phone but it is definitely smoother and faster then stock.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] datasai7755:
i dont want to root.....i want to use stock firmware but want to be lag free...

can u suggest me to remove gallery lag....
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] NEERO:
Just stop using the stock gallery app, I use quick pic, it is fast and perfect, though if you still wanna use the stock gallery then from time to time you have to go to

Application manager - All - Choose Gallery and then choose clear data.

It shows 95gb or more data, known bug.

Why are you not rooting you cell?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] datasai7755:
under warranty......i also used quick pic and disabled gallery app....if i snap a pic from camera and click on pic to enlarge from camera app it shows your gallery app is disabled ...cant i choose quick pic as my default image viewer
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] NEERO:
That's an inbuilt thing, I don't think you can change that, regarding warranty I don't think anyone uses it, maybe 1 in a thousand have to, you are upgrading firmwares yourself what is the need of warranty.

Only check for a week or so that there is no manufacturing defect and then just root and experience the power of android.

Also you can unroot your cell.

Hello everyone.

Does anyone know where i can buy Z2 unlocked (simfree+bootloader) in local store in london? Oxford street?

Also i am a tourist so i want to pay cash to get vat refund at the airport..do you know what i have to get for vat refund??

Please its very important to me..i have only 2 days to buy it..
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kashim:
It would be easier to just purchase It at an airport because you would get It duty free. I'm not aware of any way that you can get the tax back retrospectively.

If you want to go for a high street shop then carphone warehouse should do it sim free.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandi212:
Wich store have in hetrow airport at terminal 1 that i can buy z2 tax free?

Also is any one know if three stores can give me vat refund form?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kashim:
Ok I just did some reading up on it as I was interested:

I would post you links but unfortunately my post count isn't high enough after 4 years. However the best approach would probably be in this case to go on the high street and fill in the VAT 407 form when you arrive at the airport.

You could try and do it there but the only tech shop I saw online is Dixons and they may not stock the phone at their airport locations.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandi212:
ok thank you very much...

If any one have more information please let me know..
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nintendolinky:
Go to Three, and buy one for £470, its sim unlocked and has a bootloader that can also be unlocked.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corallus:
Three are not part of the tax free shopping scheme.

Carphone warehouse are but fill in the form AT THE POINT OF sale if you fill it in later it's pointless as the store assistant needs to fill in the sales confirmation section and needs to prove he saw your non EU passport.

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

It's a yellow 4 page booklet if I remember rightly and it needs to filled out when the purchase is made. Some stores will even give you the refund there (minus a fee) but most will require you visit a booth at the airport with your form and sales receipt and the item.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandi212:
Carphone waerhouse price is 550£ .

If i get vat refund form from carphone i will have to pay some fees so i will get only 10-12% vat refund so the price in three stores are cheaper without the vat refund...

is any one know stores that have better price then carphone wearhose that can give me vat refund form?

By the way i'm soory for my bad english
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisPerry:
Three store
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corallus:
I think your best option is three without the refund, however look around before you buy and look for a sticker in the window saying tax free shopping and see if they do a price match, if they do, ask for the form when buying.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamran9558:
yeah three would be even more convenient / cheap even without the VAT as you will save yourself a lot of hassle at Heathrow.

Basically I'm on a rooted Dell Streak 7, and I'm having a pretty big issue. A while ago I really screwed the thing up, and I had to use the emergency shutoff button. Since then, I've noticed that the device frequently powers off and I have to push the emergency off button and it will turn on. This issue is REALLY getting on my nerves and I need to know if there's a fix for it.

PS, if it's rooted but the problem is hardware-related (emergency off button gets triggered & stuck sometimes), will they still service it?
[Shield Q&A] kcurtischarles:
I had been playing Hero Siege for a while on my Shield with no issues. It detected the Shield gamepad and everything worked natively without any touch mapping. It even showed the Shield diagram for the default controls. Now all of a sudden it's as if the game thinks I'm playing on a different device and is stuck on touch controls. I open the gamepad mapper overlay and it shows that a profile for Hero Siege is loaded and active. I'm assuming this is what is overriding the controller. I tried clearing the mapped buttons, but I can't figure out how to disable the profile entirely to get it back to how it was. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Shield Q&A] dts924s:
Go to your android settings, choose controller, then uncheck "Enable Gamepad Mapper".

Before I get told I need to take this to an app board, I want to point out I've had Snapchat on 3 devices now, and this is the first to give me the error in title. It opens photos no problem, but try and play a Snapchat video, and the error happens. I've tried rebooting, still not working. Is there something special I need to install to get videos to work on SGS5?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
Hmm, that's really weird. Videos work fine on my S5.

Have you tryed clearing cache and data for the app? If that doesn't work, I would re install Snap chat.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minmongoblin:
None of those options worked for the one video that gave me the error. However, it was my first video on this phone so I decided to have another friend send me a test Snapchat video, and it opened up fine (and she used very rude language to do so =P love her). So I'm going to place the blame this time on the original video sender, and something being wrong on their end.

Thanks for the suggestions!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hermantje:
Hi all!

Does anyone else think that the Xperia Z1's LED notification light is dim?

Well, does anyone also have dirt in there obtruding even more so it's even dimmer than it should be?

Right now it looks like my LED light at the top is split in two halves, as there's a relatively large piece of dirt stuck in the middle. Still water doesn't get rid of it, and I'm not going to try pressurized water either :silly:

Has anyone else experienced and fixed this minor annoyance? I'm not going to try to poke it out with a needle either, I might just break the waterproof membrane for the earpiece.

As a side note/question, does anyone have a schematic of how the LED notification light and earpiece are positioned in the device? I've been wondering ever since I got the Z1, since it looks like the LED light is reflected by the plastic out of the device. Just out of curiosity of course :cyclops:

EDIT

The following has been suggested to use:

- A soft toothbrush (be careful not to ruin the waterproof membrane)

- A tiny piece of cloth

- Paper (if the dust or dirt isn't too far in)

- Can of air, in case the dirt isn't too stuck

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegahanggara:
Have you try with soft brush + water?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hermantje:
I prefer not to use any kind of brush, I'm afraid it might ruin the waterproof membrane.

Although it's probably just fine to use one carefully, I really don't want to risk my most expensive device I've got. :rolleyes:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have sensitive teeth so I use soft teeth brushes. The old ones I use for cleaning small things, like my Z1's earpiece.

BTW You are right. The LED is located just above the Sony logo and the case reflects the light and that is a good reason of why I have chosen a White phone over the black one. The white Z1 (And Z2 too) have a brighter light.

Just today I tried using a single toothbrush hair, though it didn't feel good to me.

I think there was a lump of dust stuck deep inside the LED area, and I had a hard time getting rid of it. I just hope I didn't somehow break the waterproof membrane :silly:

Oh and paper wouldn't have worked in my case, as it was too deep in (that's what she said?) and paper would've been too large too. There's still a lot of dust in the area but I'll just keep it this way. Or perhaps I'll try to dump water in the area to see if that helps (really hope the membrane is OK). I haven't found any good way of cleaning the LED area though, so any other ideas are welcome!

Hello,

I just got an external battery and tried using it with my phone, but it refuses to charge from one of the provided cables and enters USB host mode. On the other hand, if I plug in another of the provided cables it starts charging right away as if it was connected to the wall charger.

For reference, this is the battery I got: Genius ECO u306 (http://www.geniusnet.com/Genius/wSite/ct?xItem=58540&ctNode=3633&mp=1). If you look at the 3rd photo, you'll see an attached (red) cable hanging out. That one fails to charge my One, I also tried it with a Galaxy S5 and got the same USB host mode message, but when I connected it to my old Xperia X10 Mini Pro it charged normally. The battery also has one full USB and a micro USB port, and when I connect a cable from the full USB port to my phone (or the S5) it charges normally.

I got this battery so I wouldn't need to carry an extra cable with me, so it would really be great if I could disable USB host mode for this device, or when I want to use the battery. I also don't want to disable USB host mode completely, because I use my flash drive (OTG) with my phone from time to time. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johniy:
Hi, thanks for reading and helping, I would really appreciate that if you helped me.

I've got a Samsung galaxy tab 3 model SM210.

I have to tell you that I have set a memory encryption on that device in addition to the lock screen password.

The encryption uses the same password as the lock screen uses, just when I reboot the device. Without decrypting the device, you won't be able to fully load the OS.

I'm telling you this because I have a feeling that this is the source for the problem I have.

The OS felt really slow and I wanted to upgrade. I had 4.1.2.

I have downloaded version 4.2 jelly bean and installed TWRP recovery using Odin.

Then I have installed the root kit and the jellybean.

After rebooting, I noticed that that all data and apps were still there and I have had a problem turning on the wifi from 'settings', it crashed every time.

I loaded back the TWRP and formatted the device.

The installed again the jellybean.

Since then, the device is asking me to enter decryption code (the same one from before).

I wonder why this message still appear after formatting the whole device?

Anyway, I enter the code and then the android logo appears and stuck there.

I have tried multiple times to reinstall an format etc.

every time I get to this place.

How do I fix this?

EDIT:

more bad news.

TWRP has stopped working, even after relfashing it with Odin.

I have installed CWM and succeeded installing StockRom V2.0 (not the samsung stock rom, its name is "stockrom v2.0) and after that the OS loaded up and I have got the screen which asks me to enter the code for decryption.

The code was "l1212", it does not work anymore. How can I bypass this screen?

I also installed right now the first rom I have told about above, the jelly bean, then the decryption screen comes up and the code above is ACCEPTED and then stuck again on the Android logo...

What a nightmare.
