[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] RICKROCKER:
I have replaced screen to my p6 two times (there is not going to be third time) first time I got only lcd+glass from ebay (about 45 euros) but without original glue between the glass and frame it didn't last long. Next time I got glass+lcd+frame for about 55 euros and new battery cover and bottom cap for 8 euros. If you take your time to take p6 apart it isn't that hard to change the screen by yourself with the screen+frame kit.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lenteenes:
You can buy the original lcd from Amazon or HCQS
[HTC One X+] eth2:
Hello,

I bought a one x+ on year ago but had to send it to HTC for repair.

They had to do a boardswap, but put a simlock on my device.

I live in belgium but my device was o2 branded, i never had a simlock when i bought it.

Apparently the shop were i bought my device imported the device from UK.

Now HTC put a simlock on my device because they saw it was an o2 device.

Is their a working method to remove it ?

I dont mind to pay for it but i need it unlocked.

I already bought some unlock codes online but always get a refund because my new imei is not in the database...

Hope someone can help me...

Kind regards,

eth2
[HTC One X+] gokun:
You will likely just have to just wait until the imei gets in the databases.

I am not aware of any other method of sim unlocking it right now. sorry.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AWFRONT:
As an avid user of the XZU, I have been frustrated with the lack of a flash on he XZU and today I read the news that the ZTE Nubia X6 is finally available. Whilst I love using my XZU with the GPe ROM, I find it really annoying to see the camera ruin my pictures in low light. On the other hand, the ZTE Nubia X6 appears to be everything I ever wanted from a phone/XZU. It has the following key features;

-6.44" Full HD Display

-Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AB Quad Core 2.3GHz and 2 Other variants available as Options

-2-3GB RAM Depending on the model selected -3 models available

-32-128GB Internal Memory

-MicroSD Slot [Still trying to confirm-I really hope it is correct]

-13Mp Front and 13Mp Rear Camera with DUAL FLASH

-Dual Stereo Dolby Optimised Speakers

-DUAL SIM with Dual Standby

-HDMI Port

-4250mAh Battery and Removable Battery Cover (I guess NO waterproofing)

-----Check out full specs here:

-----Images and more specs here:

-----Comparison between XZU and Nubia X6 can be found here:

-----YouTube Video here;

The more I read about this phone , the more I get excited. So what do you think? Is it time we shop around or wait and see what Sony has in store with the XZU 2 in September or ditch all and perhaps look at Samsung Galaxy Note 4?

Also, could one of our XDA-Dev forum users confirm for sure if the LTE bands used are Europe compatible or not? I am getting conflicting information so any confirmation from Chinese speaking users would be even more welcome. Thanks and enjoy the conversation!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
The specs looks okay, but I won't think about buying anything until I see the ZU2 (if it exists), and if it gets released this summer, I'm not sure if I want to get it. The Ultra is still a top speced device, so a tiny boost in GHz and RAM won't impress me at all this time.

- Last year: We went from S600 to S800 in flagships. Huge boost. 1080p also got widespread in flagships.

- This year: We've gone from S800 to S805. Minimal boost. 1080p is still the norm. An extra gig of RAM if you're lucky.

- Next year: We'll go from S805 to S810. Huge boost. 64bit. Adreno 430. We'll most likely see more of the QHD (2560x1440) displays.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jeremy.chan:
that certainly looks like a very nice looking phone...

china-only, at this point it seems.... however the question is, how easy will dev support be with this? custom roms, etc..

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] doctahjeph:
The only thing that I see is a huge noticeable difference is the camera. Probably won't feel the difference in ram and CPU. I agree with others hold out.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I would not replace the Ultra because of the camera. A better option is to get a Sony DSC-QX10 or QX100 of the simple reason that they deliver VERY decent pictures. I am very happy with my QX10 and it got me completely "over" the lusting for a device with a "better" camera.

As it is today, I would not replace the Ultra with another device since the most interesting development will be the Snapdragon 810 - I don't think we will see it before Ultra 3 (I would guess the Ultra 2 will have the 805 considering the timing).

A QX10 and a new 128 GB microSDXC card and you are all set.:victory:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
And let's not forget that if you get the QX10 now, you can also use it with a different phone down the road, so you'll always have a great camera.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] emann56:
The QX-100 is an amazing product.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
No LTE 800. That's a deal breaker for me as it's a common used band in Sweden.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Johnmcl7:
I had a good look at the QX devices as the poor camera on the Z Ultra is really my only complaint with it however I don't see the devices as alternatives to a decent onboard camera. The problem for me is that they're nowhere near portable enough to function in that role, I prefer to take the RX100 which isn't much larger in practical terms (it still needs a separate pocket as would the QX devices) but the RX100 has the advantage of being much quicker to use. The reason I like having the camera on the phone even with much better quality alternatives is that I pretty much always have the phone in my pocket making its camera handy to catch unexpected moments when I don't have a proper camera on me.

I have my doubts about the ZTE though and still hoping Sony will produce a similar device to the Ultra but with a usable camera.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Paul in Maryland:
The Sony supports more 3G and 4G bands. I don't think the ZTE, even its LTE variant, will support LTE from AT&T or T-Mobile. The Sony C6806 and C6806 GPe will work on every band that T-Mobile currently uses.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Halfpenny:
Well I've had the 1605 for almost two weeks now, and although it hasn't been a faultless experience (more on that to follow !) it is in my opinion, a better device than my old Blackberry 7290, purely for it's ability to use standard MS apps (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, IE).

To answer the message sent to me by Juan, yes my Company have a corporate BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server).

I checked out these forums and found a link to vodafone Germany site that had a Blackberry client on it - The file attached here.

With your Blackberry desktop active, you can then syncronise your device with your Corporate BES server. It syncronises wirelessly your Calendar and email, switching automatically between 3G and GPRS when no 3G signal is available.

It works very well and I have only had to soft re-boot a couple of times as a result of a problem with the BB client.

Problems I've experienced with my device are;

1. Keyboard stopped working mid-email. Fixed with soft reboot.

2. Screen alignment issues. Temporarily fixed with soft reboot and using the system realignment tool, but device being replaced by Voda.

3. Noisy speaker. I sometimes get the "cellphone by a speaker" noise from the phones speaker. Not a problem per se, just a bit annoying. I notice this more if I set the mail notification sound to an MP3 or WAV.

4. No voice mail notification when abroad. When I'm abroad, I usually get a text message telling me when I have a voicemail. I don't get this at the moment.

5. Very loud handsfree speaker, but very quite when using the phone normally.

Other than that, I have to say I think it's a great Business tool. With wifi working well in Birmingham, Amsterdam and Paris airports and all the usual MS Office apps being available it's very good.

I tried downloading the TomTom 5.2 from the thread on here but couldn't work out which bits I needed and which I didn't - If anyone has any pearls of wisdom on this, or the other issues, drop a reply back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] arthurgreeeen:
Sorry if this ends up as off-topic, but I'm trying to find a good video player that supports 4k playback. I've recorded quite several 4k videos on my s5 of beach scenery. I have a windows 8.1 laptop. VLC is choppy as f*ck. Windows media player plays the video super slow and lets the audio get out of sync. The Video app can't even start it. So just asking what video playing software can i get that supports the 4k resolution vids?

[HTC One SV] tootone:
I am trying to restore my phone obviously but when I try to use the RUU it keeps freezing at the update progress screen, but the bar never shows up. Any ideas?

Tried a different cable, and now I am getting error 155, (The rom update utility couldn't update your android phone.)

The reason this is such a problem, is because I can't get intpo TWRP, it gives me the twrp loading screen, but then softboots loops over and over into the twrp loading screen. I flashed recovery.img a couple of times and still can't get it working.

Basically at this point I feel like it's RUU or bust.
[HTC One SV] :
RUU will boot you into [fastboot's OEM rebootRUU] mode. Do you mean there is not a green progress bar? What ROM ver are you currently on?
[HTC One SV] tootone:
Yes no green progress bar. Currently there is no rom, because I cannot get into twrp. I edited my original post with some additional info.
[HTC One SV] tootone:
Another update. I finally got into twrp, and now I just need a rom to flash I believe.

I have flashed a rom still no luck.

I flashed stock recovery, and relocked my bootloader. and tried the RUU again still getting error155. if anyone has a TWRP nandroid or a rom I could try that would be amazing.

Second if you can start up your HTC,

flash stock ICS

then you can update via OTA.

[HTC One SV] :
What shows on your device screen when doing it?

Also, if you are S-On and was on 4.2.2 prior to your device giving problems then it will fail because the RUU is 4.1.2 and would require a "downgrade" which can only be achieved if S-Off.

With that said, I went back up on this thread and saw you are having problems with TWRP. Make sure you are using the correct one. Should be 2.7.0.2d or 2.7.0.2c. If attempting to flash another version and you are on 4.2.2 then you will get boot problems with the recovery.

In addition, make sure your bootloader isn't locked if S-On while messing with TWRP or that will cause a security problem on your device.
[HTC One SV] tootone:
bootloader is unlocked but I am s-on maybe that is causing all of my problems. I will see what I can do to remedy that. Well nevermind, I can' t s-off without a working rom, and I can't get a working rom without s-off.
[HTC One SV] :
Hmm, well, there is one thing I know for sure and that it that you are definitely able to restore your phone, so I'm pretty sure that some attempts being made In regards to trying other methods are possibly not being done exactly like they should.

This device is VERY hard to wreck and I have done LOTS to my phone and have always been able to bring it back to life in 5 minutes or less.
[HTC One SV] tootone:
I am fairly certain I am doing it right. My mistake here was not doing a backup before I flashed anything. Let me go through what I had tried.

The RUU, I run it with my bootloader locked and I get error 158, I run it unlocked, I still get error 158.

I have tried the rom from the RUU, fastboot into ruu mode, transfer it, and I get an error

I tried putting PL80IMG in the root of my sd, it seems to flash correctly but it boots in white htc quietly brilliant screen. and flash boot.img for that rom.

I restore a rom via TWRP boots into white htc quietly brilliant screen.

and countless other things.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
What about the other backups for boost (older than 4.2.2), does none of them work?
[HTC One SV] :
1. RUU won't work because it's 4.1.2 and you were on 4.2.2. The RUU has the HBoot in it and your device will not allow the HBoot to be downgraded because you are S-On. Only time you can use an RUU is if it is equivalent to 4.2.2 which one does not currently exist for us.

2. PL80IMG.zip's only work for those who are S-Off. Which is why it won't work for you.

3. When you restore your device using TWRP you ALSO have to rename boot.emmc.win to boot.img and flash it using fastboot:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

-- This is because, once again, you are S-On and cannot write to your boot partition EXCEPT using fastboot. You could using dumlock but to get dumlock initially set up for the first time would require your device to be able to load an OS so for you that is currently out of the question.

You must restore your device using a twrp backup, AND NOT REBOOT THE SYSTEM when it is done.

Instead, reboot the bootloader, and using fastboot, flash the boot.img which comes with the twrp backup as I just stated earlier.

Then you may reboot.

That will ALWAYS work, so if it fails, then this is an end user problem.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Cristi10:
So as you know the kit kat update brought back the smearing (which was more or less hidden until know) and is the most noticable when you are on the lowest brightness. But also there is a green tint on lowest brightness, most noticeably in videos. Now as you know apps like screen adjuster reduce this problem but what i found is that when activated screen adjuster (15 on contrast in my case) does the following: i was in youtube app to test and in portrait the video didn't had any green tint, while in landscape the tint appeared. And with some other video player (like mx) the tint was gone and the smearing was reduced or even gone. Note that in mx i wasn't using the screen adjuster app. So maybe just maybe there is something in the software that samsung messed up. If a dev can look into this maybe we can figure out something.

Thanks in advance and i apologise if these things were known and i wasted your time.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Abby Oddie:
Been using Samsung phones aswell as others for years and never had a single fault. They all latest over a year before being sold on with zero issues. I've had an S4 since launch and it's still working perfectly. As far as reliability and build-quality goes Samsung is the best in the business, and by build quality I mean how well its assembled and reliability NOT the material the case is made of which many of you care so much about.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Chea2k:
I can't say that I've had any problems with my s4 since upgrading to kit kat
[Galaxy S 4 General] MrGuvernment:
Same for me, i keep my screen at about half brightness and it is fine, i can't say i have looked overly close at all though..
[Galaxy S 4 General] memoryeffect:
Since the s4 true black pixels get completely turned off, the smearing you see are those pixels turning on again. It's a hardware thing.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jimmy2x2x:
Can't say I've noticed any difference. Can you elaborate at all?
[Galaxy S 4 General] memoryeffect:
You can see it in this video. Black pixels leave a purpleish trail on the screen. http://youtu.be/DOQ91ujRFxU
[Galaxy S 4 General] jimmy2x2x:
I see what you mean now, so is this a hardware limitation or somehow linked to the software (os version)
[Galaxy S 4 General] MarkMRL:
Hardware limitation of OLED screens. Pixels take some time to go from completely off (black) to a lighter color such as blue or gray resulting in that weird trailing. AFAIK, the older version of the software didn't use pure black (pixel off) in the menu but a slightly lighter shade of black (so that the pixel would not be completely off). I still noticed it in some moving scenes in movies though when pure black was used.

For the green tint I don't know, I remember when I switched from LCD on my Sony phone to the S4 I noticed it had tinted whites and weirdly saturated colors but now I'm used to it and I don't notice it anymore and I actually kinda like the saturated colors even though they aren't very realistic.
[Galaxy S 4 General] XERW:
Haven't seen one since switching from my bloody ****ty Galaxy W I8150 which had a really bad white smearing effect (v3 HW rev). Using the exynos version with MFD: 2013:12:24 (christmas eve baby!)

There MIGHT be differences with screens manufactured at different time/version/revision but that's just an uneducated guess.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sounut:
Ok. So here's what happened. I wanted to root my verizon galaxy s4 and put stock kitkat on it. It was on 4.3. So I rooted it. No problem. Then I tried to put on CWM so I could flash AOPK. But, once I put CWM on, I could not get it into recovery mode. It said that unauthorized software was on my device, not approved by verizon. The only way I could turn on the phone was to put it into download mode and then hit cancel. I wanted to unroot the phone at that point and try again. Also with downgrading it. So I downloaded ODIN and tried to restore my phone to samsung stock 4.2.2. So I tried it, it worked for a while and then ODIN said that it failed. Then when I turned on my phone, it gave me a message saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." So I opened Kies, connected the phone, and tried to do emergency recovery, but it did't recognize my device. So I selected firmware upgrade and instilation. It downloaded and everything but it said "this devices version cannot be updated." So now I have no idea what to do. I can only go into download mode now. Please help me! What should I do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
You have some reading to do. You can't install anything but SafeStrap recovery on your 4.3 S4. You also can't downgrade.

Here are the MK2 Odin files you need to get that phone fixed up.

Try the no wipe first then if that doesn't take you'll have to use the full wipe.

Then you can use saferoot to root it again and this time install SafeStrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
You should read before you do things. You can't use a custom recovery like cwm if your s4 was on 4.3 stock. You can't use odin to downgrade to 4.2 either. Odin the full wipe mk2 tar and stay on stock software before you make your phone a paperweight.

The phone was 80% at about 3pm Friday when I left the car. I used the phone several times Friday afternoon for calls and checking several email accounts, took some photos showed some others to friends. Location was on as I used weather and nav apps. That night I put it into UPSM till the morning, Used it the next day about the same for calls and data, again UPSM sat night. Sunday early afternoon it was just under 30% battery.

The screen was on near full brightness all the time, not out of preference its just the "auto" brightness sensor.software is useless.

Battery is great.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnight:
It`s actually a very useful future first week when I got my phone I have to go on a party on Friday and have my phone not charged on around 15% battery I turned UPSM on because I wanted to still have a phone after I finish drinking (not really a smart idea though) and even with some browsing it was on around 10% in the next morning. It`s good to know that if you need your phone it could be with you. However the battery life of this phone for me is stunning after a day of usage it`s on like 50% however i don`t use intensive apps or stuff just Facebook, Browser and my on screen time is around 1 hour and 30 minutes per 24 hours. But still I`m really impressed with the battery life as previously I do have a S4 mini and it lasts around 10-15 hours on one charge which was sad because I really liked it. And having in mind that this battery life is without any form of power saving and with Network on all the time is impressive really.

Hope this helps you.
