[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
I wouldn't say it's any more fragile than any other high end phone out there now. If you drop it without a case, chances are it will crack as the entire front panel is a solid piece of glass. I have a $10 slim case on my G2 and have dropped it several times accidentally, even from 5' on pavement, and it hasn't scratched it at all.

Retail prices most likely won't go down, but used prices probably will.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ossito2012:
I would agree with geoff5093. All phones should have a case including the HTC M7 & M8 and the S4 Active. I have been rocking the Slim Armor case from Spigen and dropped a few times without any problems whatsoever. The G3 from what I have read has a faux metal looking plastic body, that is the worst design in my opinion, why buy fake metal when I can get real metal in a HTC M8.

Rumored S5 Prime and Moto X+1 will be some serious contenders for phone of the year.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
Mine has dropped twice and not a nick or dent on it. Is how it hits that counts. Worst one is when it hits the floor FLAT. Kills screen instantly. Dropped my former M7 inside my locker at work. Hit a shoe and landed softly and i thought it was saved. Turned out the corner split apart. POS.. even had a thick flipcase. I like plastic better now.

As for price drop it is pretty ineviteable when a new model replaces it. But the G2 is pretty cheap today so i dont expect a major price drop. Also In fact it's one of the best second hand phones i have bought in terms of specs.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feza08:
i dropped mine a few times and nothing happened. but interestingly although lg uses gorilla glass, i have a loot scratches on my screen. i mean really a lot minor and major scratches. furthermore nothing similar happened to my previous phones which are nexus 4 and iphone 4. i even have scratches on my camera lens. but excluding this issue, yep its not that much fragile.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PloniAlmoni:
I dropped mine once while I was standing up with a cruzerlite TPU case. Nothing happened. It even bounced a few times. I don't recommend doing that but get a case...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Animalityy:

Better not drop it, but i droped it few times, all ok.

I have a balistic case and it works great I also like cruzer lite cases

hello, my phone cannot read my simcard, i cant even use my simcard. it shows emergency calls only.. pls help me , running stock ROM.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
most likely loss of imei

dial *#06# and if it is blank (does not show your imei number) then you have lost imei

remember you cannot use an old kernel on a new firmware and vise versa without changing the ril file

either change your kernel or flash a ril from an old firmware if you are using an old kernel on a new firmware

I posted loads of different ril files in the hyperion 9 thread if you search
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] akupanjang:
Yeah, my emei num lost..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TheGMan:
Title says it all.

Phone was on before submersion and non-responsive after. I removed all easily removed parts (back, battery, SIM, stylus) and it is air drying.

Yes ... I washed my hands!

Any suggestions?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jerry-S:
To be honest I think a total strip down my be in order to totally get rid of all the moisture.

I might be wrong but Never Say Never
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GldRush98:
Even if you totally stripped it down the damage is permanant and done :(

I'm not trying to be a downer, but here is the reality.

1) You probably shorted the phone out. It's dead

2) By some LUCKY chance you didn't short the phone out, let it dry for a LONG time with out supply any power to it. Assuming you can bring it back to live, the internals have already gotten wet. Water + Electronics = Corrosion. Your phone won't last long :(

That sucks man :cry:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] patrickem:
I would suggest a full or as full as you can tear down and a flush with distilled water and then a very good drying.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Karzi:
I left mine out screen facing up in the pouring rain for 5 hours

was soaking but still working lol

the backlight wasnt happy though,

dried it out and took the battery out after playing with it wondering how it still worked.

all was well

occasionaly you get the white powedery corrosion on the various processor legs (makes contacts where you dont want them ) which most of the time cleaning them off with fix and issues .

Edit my wizard was playing some mp3s the otherday and fell of motorbike at 50 mph and hit the road , stopped picked it up it was still playing the same tune through the speakers ,

amazing build quality for a heavy device to survive that .
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] chrisredmayne:
Just wondering... When using your phone in the rain is it dodgy? Like will it break the touch screen if it gets too wet? Should we all be buying gay covers?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
You should rename yourself the PMan! :lol: Sorry could not help myself :wink:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GldRush98:
If you plan on attempting to clean it, don't use distilled water!

The best thing to use would be pure rubbing alcohol. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TheGMan:
Well ... disassembled and patted it dry. Left it out to dry for about 24 hours ... reassembled.

Viola!

Powers up and everything seems to working fine.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] weezy:
Well you are a downer man. :)

New phones now are hard to short like that, though water do soak into the boards, just hope it didnt soak and damage your screen. Just take apart and dry.

Hi All

I really need you all to help me here...:crying:

I have a Samsung Tab-2 P3100 16GB tablet. One day it suddenly went into reboot loop. I have data on the internal memory that i need to recover.

I had sent the device to data recovery guys but they replied that: Internally Memory showing 00 (Sec00)

So is there any way to recover data from my device? I am sure there has to be some way....:confused:

**PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGES...IT KEEPS ON LOOPING ON THE SCREEN WHERE IT SAYS "SAMSUNG"

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngvuanh:
SMS system limits your message at 128 characters including spaces. Some other sms systems support 160 characters. You might be able to send bigger message, but it will split on receiver.

It's standard for all phones, not just Z2.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
If you use special characters you have only 70 characters/SMS (like in Romanian: ă,â,ț,î,ș).

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Notwo22:
Some questions I have about this tablet.

1. Is there a way to clean this tablets back? it is all greasy and makes it look like it is 4 years old.

2. I want to install 4.4 USA rom, is good or not? (My region is Pakistan and I have Greentech warran tty)?

2. If I flash 4.4 Pakistan rom will by warranty be restored?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] janzour:
Answer to question 1. there is not really solution... try changing the back?... haven't you used a cover to keep it nice?

question 2. well as far as I know as warranty goes any modifications to firmware are being recorded to a counter and cannot get reset.... this partialy answers your question 3. there is a way to reset counter if u completely wipe your tablet and install the original firmware yet you should know that your knox counter will not get reset because no one found a way how.
[Sony Smartwatch] eirh:
Fuzzy clock watch-faces, first of such kind for the Sony SmartWatch2!

The watchfaces are actually clocks (not widgets!) and thus work even when the Bluetooth connection is lost. Also, the clocks don't occupy the full screen of your watch, so you can place other widgets on it as well!

Here's a link to the app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eir.watches.fuzzy

And below are two of the watch-faces. Hope you like them!
[Sony Smartwatch] arkboy4ever:
meh

I hate how each of these rad new clock apps cost money. We need one that has all of them. These are lame. You need epic digital clocks with nice, epic, classy, fun, fonts. Not words with non specefic times
[Sony Smartwatch] AlexOB1:
Install the software and learn to code for yourself.

This isn't the school playground.
[Sony Smartwatch] eirh:
They cost money because they require time, skills and effort to make. If you do them (and I mean all of them, as you say) for free, I guess you'll find many people would be grateful for that.

Until then, the symbolic .99 USD price is a cool enough way to say "thank you" and keep me motivated.
[Sony Smartwatch] leaderone_L1:
I agree

First off, thank you for your time and effort creating this app for the SW2. I downloaded your app already. With all these new apps taking advantage of the new firmware and manu0466 hack to allow overlapping you guys are doing a great job making this watch what we wanted in the first place.

What I wanted to ask you is if you can add new widgets with smaller size; It looks like the second font is very similar to the default one used by Sony and it is very legible is smaller sizes. Thanks again!
[Sony Smartwatch] -=W1S3=-:
What's that "km/h" widget? I want it! :eek:

Can anyone help me? Pleaaaaase

I'am desperate to fix my tab :crying:

First time here, im a newbie :laugh:

I have a samsung tab 2 7" (p3100), 3g wifi, its os is if im not mistaken, 4.0.4

I have been searching online about how to root my tab and I bumped upon a certain thread.

I followed their instructions and flashed CWM to my tab via odin, and when my tab rebooted, it was on a bootloop.The Samsung Tab 2 7.0 will appear then the sound will play then it reboots again and again and again.....

I tried to access recovery mode by waiting for the right timing during the boot loop, the cwm was successfully installed, and when I tried to flash the zip, it was finished, then I rebooted the system but Im still having boot loops, please help me,

Should I go to some technicians in malls?

Im searching the net for almost 8 days for the solution :crying: :crying: thank you in advanced for the answers.. I somehow also cant find a 4.0.4 stock rom, people from other forums said that i just need to revert to the stock rom?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] satawat.thongsawat:

I cannot make anything from a limited Chinese ROM.

Anybody who has international ROM or can extract it from the international version, please help!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] gregou:
The international version hasn't been released yet... I bought mine (4G version) through Lenteen from Hong-Kong, and everythings works fine ! I installed google apps, rooted my phone :)

I know that Huawei was supposed to release it at the end of may in France but any news nowhere on the web... none even from Huawei themself ! :(

So we just have to wait and see...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Moandal:
Does it sync your Google contacts correctly? If so, what did you need to do to get that working?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] satawat.thongsawat:
Thank you for the reply, some questions:

1. So, yours is also a Chinese version?

2. Please post the link for rooting.

3. After rooting, install the GApp, version for 4.2.2? And then we can go for anything, like Nova launcher?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] gregou:
So yes it's also a chinese version, but it's the 4G chinese version.

TUTO TO GET ALL GAPPS (INCLUDED CONTACTS SYNC)

As you know , the Chinese version of the Huawei Mediapad do not get Google applications .

*

Here is the procedure to have them all , including the synchronization of contacts ! :)

*

*What you need:

Huawei Mediapad Honor X1 (chinese version) Your phone must be already rooted ! ( follow the tutorial i posted earlier)

A file explorer that supports the administration ROOT rights (root explorer, es file explorer , etc. . ) Available on Google Play Store

There is nothing very complicated , just follow the tutorial :

Open your file explorer supporting the rights adminstration ROOT

Go to the following folder

/ cust / channel / charm_china_u / xml /

You will find the file UNSTALL_APK.XML

Rename it to : UNSTALL_APK.XML.OLD

This is done !

Restarting the Huawei Honor Mediapad/Honor X1 , applications will be automatically downloaded and installed on the phone and you will have access to all Google services including synchronization of contacts !

*

WARNING: by doing this manipulation,

future updates will no longer be compatible

with the device and you will have to rename the file UNSTALL_APK.XML.OLD to UNSTALL_APK.XML to update the device. Otherwise, you can make a copy of the original file that you can keep safe somewhere on your phone or computeur.

If anything goes wrong that's your entire responsability !

[MENTION=384181]gregou[/MENTION]

I cannot get into download mode to install Gapps via odin.

Also cannot find recovery mode???

How to install Gapps,then??
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] gregou:
When the phone reboot, after you renamed the file, gapps are automatically installed by the phone.. You don't have to use recovery mode at all !!

And for now, i'm not sure that CWM is available for this model... I think i saw it on a chinese forum but when i translate it's too messy and i have to be registered on this forum to download it so... we have to wait that someone make a post here in english with th e CWM in download...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] satawat.thongsawat:
Okay, I see the point, we just install portions of Google apps we need, starting with play store, the any thing you need.

I do hope we'll have CWM, or at least hardware ways to boot into download and recovery mode.

The KitKat may be far from reality?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] gregou:
We'll get Kikat firmware on this phone for sure, we just have to wait from Huawei to rolling out this version.

It's not portions of google apps as when you do this procedure i explained, ALL the gapps are installed automatically on the phone.

Basically, Huawei made a script in the phone for not allowing these apps to be installed, but when you rename this file, the script is no longer available, then all the gapps are installing after the next reboot ! ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lioliogioa:
Mediapad X1 7D-503L

The only deference is the directory:

/ cust / channel / charm_china_l / xml / ( charm_china_l not charm_china_u)

and i use the command as su

mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs /cust

because when It try to rename the UNSTALL_APK.XML I take the error "Read-only file system"

thanks
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tazza79:
X1 undetectable by the PC

I have GApps Syncing quite fine without rooting, except the contacts sync which is missing from the sync list. I see your steps are very straight forward, but unfortunately my X1 is not recognized by the PC, although I've installed HiSuite from Huawei website. I've also tried to install Huawei device driver for X1 from this site, but still unrecognized. Accordingly GeniusRoot is unable to detect and root my X1.

I'm Win 8.1 (both 32 and 64 bits), and I've tried to do all these procedures with Compatibility model for Win7, run as administrator, yet the X1 is till not detected by the PC.

Also USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options.

Any idea what's the reason for this?

Thanks for the awesome tutorial bro

I've managed to root the phone, installed es files explorer. Double checked with root checker and confirmed root

But I'm stuck with renaming the file...

And the folder have a slightly different name but that is the only folder I've got..

/cust/channel/charm_china_l/xml/ (yours is china_u)

So, everytime I rename the file it keeps on giving error task failed. I've checked in properties and it says readable:yes writable:yes

I can't delete the file as well the error says unstall_apk.xml cannot be deleted

can u help please

thanks in advance :good:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sordanny:
OK I managed to figure out the solution

Used Root File Manager to rename and voila!! Renamed the file, restart device and got all the Google stuff setup on the phone

Now there is this second problem which is a big pain in the arse

I can't add a second Google account on the phone to get all my contacts..........

Under settings -> accounts -> add account -- there is no option to select "Google" !!!!

Have anyone also face this problem and is there any solution??

Thanks in advance for the help
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] ralphrmartin:
Guys, you do not need root or tricks to install Google stuff.

Open the Huawei app market. Search for Google. Click on the big Google banner at the top of the page. You get a dedicated page of Google stuff. There you have download links for play store, all the Google apps, and if you can figure out a little Chinese, calendar sync and contact sync software too.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Moandal:
I can confirm this is true. I did a search for "gms" rather than Google - tap on the big link you get at the top of the results page, which takes you to a page of all the Google apps and services, and install everything! (You can always uninstall what you don't need later). No root required, and everything is syncing properly - calendar, contacts, tasks etc. Super easy.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DannyBoy:
This worked for me too. I installed all google apps and everthing syncs except I still cant sync contacts or have more than one google account.

So frustrated
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Moandal:
Have you got Google Contacts Sync in your list of downloaded apps?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sordanny:
Danny here's how to fix it, and u don't need root

if u have rooted and edited the unstall_apk.xml, best is download and flash the stock ROM first:

http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=20241 (click 立即下载 on the right)

u can also ignore it but all preinstalled google apps will become system apps, and if u've deleted some huawei bloatware u might not be able to OTA update latest B006 firmware

All the Google stuff can work perfectly even can add multiple Google accounts. Best thing is, u don't need root. Here's how:

1) Go to app centre - all - brand and look for the one with 谷歌 (sorry I've updated app centre and it might be different if u haven't update)

2) Download 联系人同步服务, 日历同步服务, Google Playstore, Gmail and Google plus. The rest can be downloaded from playstore

3) After install, open either playstore or gmail and sign in

At this stage, Google is already setup properly with contacts sync just it cannot add multiple Google accounts. Workaround:

4) Open Google plus. Settings - add account

And voila. The phone is perfect now

There's also an OTA update for the LTE version which updates your phone firmware to 7D-503LV100R001C233B006

Cool new features includes double tap screen on, some control over notification flash light for messages and background battery optimization :good:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] litchime:
Hi Guys,

Do you think this ROM can work on Honor X1 3G???
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DannyBoy:
Thanks so much. I was so close to giving up and going back to my Galaxy Mega but you have saved it from the draw of old gadgets.

I didn't need to flash or root. I just installed Gapps from the Huawei appstore all other gapps don't let you add a second account but as you pointed out Google+ does.

Thanks
