[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markaner:
Okay, please write here if you find out something about this subject. I find it quite strange though that no reviewers even mentions this when I picked up on it instantaneously. :eek:

About their technology, I saw a video from sony where they showed the display and the things underneath the screen. At one point they showed like blue lights shaped like lines which probably are what we see when looking at the screen from an non straight angle.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaf46:
even my z1 had this :) i guess its the technology use in the screen ( ex. triluminos )
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xajel:
It's in all capacitive touch phones, but it vary from one to one on how easy to spot them depending on the screen and touch screen technology...

I had these in almost all my phones, Sony and non-Sony so don't worry...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cedropol:
In Xperia Z is the same.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamran9558:
My first phone had massively visible patterns on the screen and were clearly visible when the screen was off, I got my device replaced as it had gaps and over heating issues and the new device I received has nothing on it. Even the ones on display in the store had none. So i will put it down to a certain batch / manufacturing lot carrying these patterns.

PS: my first device was a W15 and the new one is a W19.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkraptor:
Can anyone post a picture with the digitizer visible in order to assess if this would be an issue?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMonkeYJ:
I wonder if it has to do with how reflective the Z2 screen is. I've noticed that it's more reflective than most smartphone screens. It's not a huge deal to me, but I also think it's why some people complain about the outdoor performance. Ideally Sony will improve this in the future.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fralloca101086:

or

I got the trident case, perfect fit, buttons work as good as without case, rock solid case: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trident-Ser...401050103&sr=8-2&keywords=moto+g+trident+case

I did add tempered glass to the mix though, but hey £30 on protection is cheaper than paying £100 for a new 8Gb Moto G right.

Edit: Out of the two you have listed I would say protection wise, the ballistic is a better choice.
[Moto G Accessories] abendroidx:
I also have a trident aegis case installed in my mega 5.8 and im happy with it.

Looking at this 2 cos this came with holster which I need moto g can hung on my waist which I cant do with my mega due to its size but I will still keep it as secondary phone

Anyone can give feedback with how tough the holster of these?
[Moto G Accessories] BarnOwl:
Neither of those two.

I doubted if I would take the Trident, but eventually took the black and white Dual Pro Hybrid Case from Incipio............saved the phone a few times now......................:good:
[Moto G Accessories] Slaiyen:
I've got the Otterbox Commuter for mine, it's pretty solid and fits the phone almost perfect the only nag is the little flap for the micro USB port doesnt quite close entirely.

I am looking to install this recovery: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/182

It is TWRP recovery for the i9505 variant. I have the i337 model, the AT&T variant. I want to install the TWRP recovery for the S4 using Odin, and I do not see a tar file that I can flash through Odin for the AT&T variant. There is a tar file for the regular i9505 and I want to know if that will also work. If the answer is yes, could someone please tell me how to flash the recovery through Odin?

[Sony Xperia M] theperson333:
I did a downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1. To make the transition smoother, I planned to wipe data, so I backed up with PCC. After the 4.1 downgrade, I tried to restore, but it didn't restore my SMS. After googling, I gathered that that feature doesn't actually do anything. I extracted the mmssms.db using this tool:https://github.com/nelenkov/android-backup-extractor

This extract only contain the last text sent/received with the recipient. Are the texts stored elsewhere on the phone?

p.s. my db is 1mb in size and I've had the phone since October and not done a data wipe until yesterday. I'm thinking that this is not big enough for the amount of texts I send. I send on average at least 3 SMS per day. On some days, 30 in a single day. Most of my texts are roughly 300 characters.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XRSTOY1:
After flashing back to Mk2 and trying to regain root using safe root. The installer will not see the phone no mater what I do. I've redone drivers, tried multiple computers I've enabled and turned on Debugging. All of that. EVERYTHING else see it. But not ADB it sees my Galaxy s3 no problem.

I first rooted the phone without safe root. But I can't find anything anymore I tried to use terminal emulator but the phone blocks it. Anyone have any Ideas? should I reflash MK2 in odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
Did you connect as Media device? Then try adb devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XRSTOY1:
Yes I did as Media device but what do you mean by adb devices where is that? I did try to find it in a adb shell no luck I tried a totally different computer as well no go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
"adb devices" is a command using the ADB utility. It lists what devices it sees connected.

For example, no phone:

Phone attached:

It's also possible that USB debugging got somehow disabled - settings/more/developer options/usb debugging. Make sure it's selected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
can you also toggle the revoke USB debugging authorization to reset the communication with adb?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Yes, that also can get it re-enabled. Unplug, revoke authorization, unlock the phone, then re-plug it and re-authorize.

In those cases, however, the phone will show up in "adb devices" as "offline".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XRSTOY1:
Thanks I did ADB devices and it showed my device but it said offline, I tried the Revoke Authorization but I can't get the phone to ask if the computer is ok?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XRSTOY1:
Problem solved

I tried the Revoke Authorization but I can't get the phone to ask if the computer is ok prompt. I did a full factory reset and cache wipe four times still only shows offline. I rebooted into recovery saw load update from ADB and adb start-server and got host but couldn't load the install.bat

Problem solved follow this guide

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
That's one I wouldn't normally think of - if that worked for you, then it means that you had an old, out-of-date version of ADB on your system.

Thanks for letting me know about the fix, as it's a pretty hard one to detect and easily fixed one you know about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XRSTOY1:
IT IS the one that came with saferoot didn't work,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Saferoot comes with adb 1.0.31 - the same files as the one in the post you pointed to. I'm not sure what happened here, but it doesn't matter as you now have it fixed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coyn3burglar:
Hi - I have a rooted Sprint HTC One M8 H/K edition. I rooted and unlocked my phone with the motive to remove Sprint bloatware on the phone. I, however, also need Good for Enterprise to function properly.

My question is: what is the best approach to removing the bloatware and allowing for GFE to work properly as well? Would running a stock H/K remove the bloatware and unroot? Should I just delete the apps and get a root cloaked? Or can I remove apps and then unroot?

I appreciate the help.

Thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Whatever you do before removing anything. Boot into a recovery such as twrp and create a nandroid backup. Will save loads of hassle later should something go wrong.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MontyBurns:
Helloooooo :)

does anyone know how I can find out if a SIM card is installed?

I'm programming for Windows Mobile 2003.

The OpenNETCF only provides methods to get information about the SIM card itself (phone number, provider and so on) but I don't see a possibility to get (for example) a simple boolean value if there's a SIM card installed at all...

Thank you very much in advance.

Alex
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stephenjubb:
the answer is in your post.

you qouted "phone number, provider and so on)"

Try and obtain this information. If it is not there then the only logical conclusion is that there is no SIM card installed.

cheers

steve jubb
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MontyBurns:
Hi Steve,

this is the method I actually use:

unsafe public static bool isSimInstalled()
{
IntPtr hSim, res;

res = SimInitialize(IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, out hSim);
if (res != IntPtr.Zero)
return false;

Byte[] buffer = new Byte[516];
fixed (byte* pAddr = buffer)
{
res = SmsGetPhoneNumber((IntPtr)pAddr);
if (res != IntPtr.Zero)
return false;
}
return true;
}

There's just one little problem: this method always returns FALSE (doesn't matter if a SIM card is installed or not).

About a week ago I read a thread (in another forum) that discussed a similar problem. People there said that not every SIM card has a phone number... I don't know if it's true but IF it's the truth... I've got the same problem... ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sonstiger:
Hi!

My Galaxy S3

GT-I9300

Newest Firmware I9300XXUGNA5 / I9300DBTGNB1 (DBT)

16 GB

NOT rooted / original ROM and absolutely unmodified

is restarting all the time and so caught in a bootloop. Most of the time it restarts when reaching the PIN or Code screen, sometimes I mange to enter the code and can see the desktop for some seconds. Then it restarts, endlessly until I remove the battery. Most of the time it directly restarts in the bootlop when putting in the battery, but sometimes not and this way the recovery and download mode can be accessed.

I feel really helpless ... I need my phone and some data on my phone so urgently (unfortunately some are directly on the phone).

What I tried:

- remove battery for hours

- load battery for a long time (over night)

- recovery mode -> delete cache

- starting with / without SIM

- starting with / without SD card

- managed to activate flight mode within seconds in loop

- used other battery

- flashed original firmware with Odin two times (4.3, I9300XXUGNA5)

But ... It restarts again and again. I really want to avoid a complete reset due to the fact that there is really important data on the phone and in addition some really unique photos. I don't think that there is a hardware defect since the hone sometimes starts untill it reaches the main screen.

Possible reason: I use "HD Widgets" and there are some widgets on the main screen. When I manage to see the main screen for some seconds I can see the widgets loading (emty spaces with progress bar). I use this app fore some time but maybe there was an udate causing problems. Maybe this app or others are the trigger.

What else can I try? Anybody can help me? I would be more than greatfull for any help ...

Best regards,

Sonstiger
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sonstiger:
And it should not be a hardware defect of the power button - since I can access the recocery mode and there the volume buttons work as cursor and the power button works as select button. in this menu I never noticed any random select. so it shouldn't be a defect of the power button?

I feel so desperate ...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sonstiger:
Is there any chance to get my S3 booting up again without losing data? e.g.: Can I install another firmware? There is an earlier version of Android 4.3 (I9300XXUGMK6 I9300DBTGMK2), can I flash this version via Odin? Or could I flash a newer version without problems - as far as there will be an update? Or an older one? What else can I try?

And - in the worse case I will not manage to bring my phone back to life - is there any chance to access the data on my phone?

I will be more than grateful for any feedback!

Many thanks for your answere. Are there some more information where I can find the original firmware as a pit file and how to flash resp. which software I have to use. Can I use Odin?

And what do you mean by "will delete everything including the app" -- but no private data like address book, pictures and documents? It's my major declared intent to to try everything before I delete any personal data from the phone.

Sounds good - but then I could also try the reset option via the recovery menu, am I right? And that's what I absolutely want to avoid so far. So this .pit solution seems not to be the best for now?

I really want to try everything to get my phone to boot without erasing my private data. Perhaps there is a possibility to access the private date (Photos, documents" somehow? backup?

It's not that I want to backup my apps. I want to backup my photos, docuements and so on. If I manage to access his data I would try a factory reset through the recovery menu which would possibly help.
