[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
I'm not sure if this is the proper place to ask this but I'm not sure where else to ask.

My Nexus 5 phone goes pretty much everywhere with me. So it would be really cool if I could just whip it out and dictate a quick reminder note for later.

I know there are many note apps that can take dictation and transcribe it into text. But it takes many steps to unlock the phone, go to the app, select microphone, and save. It would be nice if there was an app that one could put right on the lockscreen which would work without needing to unlock, is quickly voice activated, and to which one can just dictate in 1-2 steps. Like the many dictating cassettes one can dictate to by just pressing a single record button. But, the app would take advantage of Android to go further and turn the dictation into a text note.

I've searched the play store but have not found something like that. Does such a dedicated app exist? It would be very useful.

Thank you for replying.

Using note to self as a search term I also found other possibilities that don't go thru Google.

Thanks

If you don't want to use Google Now there's also Google Keep for voice notes and recordings.

Thank you. I will look into it. I've never used it.

Appreciate the suggestion.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cynomad:
I had an One M7 which i had unlocked through HTCDev, s-offed etc and converted to GE

Then insmashed the screen which resulted into getting a replacement, refurbished as I guess

The thing is I cannot unlock it. i get the token but when i try to push it into the phone I get

an error message reading that the token does not match. Wrote to HTC and they replied that

"each serial number can only be unlocked once". Anything I can do? Tried moonshine, firewater but no success.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
That's BS I have 3 or 4 unlock tokens for my One

did the give you a GE One ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbaler:
You need to be on a sense based rom. Preferably the stock one to unlock.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cynomad:
No a Sense one as the original

I tried even the temproot method of firewater but is not working

Stuck with sense now, the phone feels so much slower.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cynomad:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
that's really strange ..i get unlock tokens anytime i want them never a problem
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cynomad:
I get the unlock token but it is not working when i push it to the phone, getting an error message that the string check failed ( cannot remember the exact error msg). Has nothing to do with the Htcdev.com, it is a phone thing, there is a mismatch somewhere in the unlock process
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cynomad:
This is the actual message
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stovie_steve:
Few users have had motherboards replaced by HTC and unable to unlock afterwards (maybe not supported on new boards?). So you may be stuck. Despite HTC offering the service to unlock they are difficult in answering questions about it too
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cynomad:
They did reply tin this kind of enigmatic way:" a serial can only be unlocked once" ti am probably buying a Nexus 5 tomorrow. Cannot stand how slow the phone is. Now with hense and google launcher on top of it. The photos app takes about 4 secs to lainch.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Well this isn't true. Many users here unlocked their phones more than once using a new unlock code. Maybe there is something bad with your version.

Some phone version can't be unlocked from htcdev.com (i.e like stated above, verizon)

Others phones like the GPE version suffer from a bootloader bug (updated version) and can't be unlocked no more.

Would like to see your unlockcode.bin and token if you want to share. Sometime they are corrupted.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cynomad:
Will try it once more tomorrow.

Is the unlock token unique per phone? I found the one from my previous phone

And it produces the same error
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
yes the code is unique to the phone, and you even need a new code when unlocking for a second time.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cynomad:
Coming back to this ( i own an M8 now, turned into GPe) , i use the M7 as a secondary phone but sense drives me mad. Any idea how to overcome the unlock issue? hTc has confirmed to me through email that refurbished phones cannot get unlocked

Just got a new seven inch and was wondering the best way to root get Google play and keep it I saw the utility in the dev section and read but it seems like some are saying it doesn't block the update so could someone walk me through the best way to accomplish this. I would assume root install recovery and if it works just hit block updates.also what is a room slot thanx.

Hey guys, check out this cool app here-

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helloklick.android

Note:You'll need to buy a really 'cheap on pocket' device to use it which doubles up as a Dust-Plug.. Or rather I should say, it's actually a Dust Plug that doubles up(or even more).. :cool:

I just now ordered it and it costed me only US$ 2.24 including shipping money :laugh:

Waiting eagerly for it to arrive to me.. :D

I'm not posting any links here to the device because I'm not sure as to whether it'll be an infringement of XDA's rules.. :angel:

For those who're worried that it might get lost while using earphones-it has a solution to it too.. :p

Last but not least, it couples up with Tasker.. :victory:

Here's a quick video, the version of app is old here though, but it'll familiarize you with the device and the app itself-

http://youtu.be/CQJvdU7TPBs

It'll work for Android devices only.. Not sure about the minimum version of Android required though..

Thanks I'll have to check it out have you heard of dimple? Is similar and uses NFC adds 4 buttons that can technically be used for navigation keys
[Member-Found Deals] TheTAMAS:
I did a quick search and liked the idea but the problem I think would be that in pocket, those 4 buttons could be activated due to its placement on the backside, talking of backside of phone, I use a wallet case for my Note 3 and that wouldn't let me use Dimple.. :laugh:
[Member-Found Deals] TheTAMAS:
You know what..

I just now figured out that, the button on the earphone would function like the button on this smart dust plug when one is using the earphone.. :victory:

For those of you interested in it, it's called-

Pretty long name I know.. :D

But what's in the name.. :p

And the name of the app is Klick

It's available here for download..

Battery performance is still fine for me..

I came across Pressy only after I ordered the Smart Dust Plug for myself and realised that the Chinese manufacturers copied this idea too.. :laugh:

Because they weren't required to put in R&D like the Pressy guys did, it costs only a small fraction of it without the need to wait for it to get delivered.. :o

It's sad for the Pressy guys but you just can't stop the Chinese manufacturers..

Could anyone please share the Activation Code of their Pressy, I want to give the related app a try with my Dust Plug. .

Re Blue Angel Touch Screen

I also did the same with mine two weeks ago (Cracked the screen)

Took out the left hand screw of my XDA 2s and then took it back to O2 shop and made out that it was because the screw fell out that the screen broke I know its a bit naughty but I got mine replaced for a new one
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] PaulSinc:
Naughty indeed. i like the way you think though. the prob is i kinda know the fella in the shop. does it have to be the shop that i bought it in.?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ray4438:
craked screen

Dont think it matters as long as its a o2 shop (in my case)

I just took it to the shop with the warranty 2 weeks ago as i had droped the XDA i took out the top left hand screw and said because the screw was loose it made the screen crack when i touched it with the stylus.

They replaced it under the warranty for a nice brand new one.

Now got 2 batteries and 2 chargers. :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] PaulSinc:
mabye i'll just do that. i was gonna get a screen of e-bay. but your way sounds better

thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ray4438:
No probs good luck but remember that it is possiable that this could happen (Screw coming out screen cracks) So dont let O2 fob you off and say it is not coverd by the warranty because the situation can happen.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Midget_1990:

Was the screen hard to replace?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Midget_1990:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] tattootroy:
did you get your touch screen ?was it easy to install ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] BrainWashed:
I replaced my touchscreen (without LCD) by myself. It is not very hard. You have to solder 4 small cables. If you can handle the tiny screws and aren't afraid soldering 4 cables onto a 7 mm flatband cable. No Problem.

It is a little bit tricky to open the device because of the slider. The two cables of the slider are just plugged in onto the mainboard, so you can just pull them out with a screwdriver.

Hello. I recently acquired the i747. I used and toyed a lot with a i9300, but not anymore. So, while Im not totally new to the whole process I am new to this device and the options avaialable for flashing.

Im using C-Rom link and Im trying to find a kernel that allows me to modify the volume (I get really low call volume) and also that allows me to change the color calibration.

I have been searching but I cant seem to find that many options. In this forums i've found kernes that do one or the other but for jelly bean or for TW.

Can anyone lead me to a kernel that can do both?

I just got a Z2, and found out about this: http ://blogs.sonymobile.com/2014/05/01/entertainment-and-app-experiences-all-free-with-xperia-z2/

Apparently we can get a bunch of free stuff. What I'm curious about are the 8 games from PlayStation®Mobile. I "redeemed" them, but nothing shows up on my phone when I go to the Playstation mobile app (but the games are listed under my account when I log onto the Playstation Entertainment Network.

Are these games suppose to be for the phone? If so, has anyone successfully got this to work?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z2 General] mtl171:
The games do work on the phone. However in order to download the game, the have to tap on menu => download list. Then you should see the games you own and be able to download them.

[Xperia Z2 General] vicedens2002:
How to redeem the games is it through the app or online? If its online link please...
[Xperia Z2 General] cellphones4fun:
Use the Xperia Lounge app (not sure if you have to download that from app store). Then look for the various featured apps, which should ask you to create a Playstation Entertainment Network account (if you don't already have one), but it will provide you a code to redeem the various games, movies, apps, etc).
[Xperia Z2 General] bryanhayn:
It took me a while to figure this out too. You need to download the Playstation Mobile app at http://www.playstation.com/psm/store/en.html (I know you already have this. I'm just helping others who might be confused.) and download the games through that app. I was trying to download the games through the Playstation app that came with the phone.

So I recently got a notification about the Android 4.4.3 update and of course I am rooted. I got TWRP recovery and I am ready to flaah the OTA .zip file.

Now my problem is that somehow my LatinIMEGoogle.apk is corrupted, but only the stock version (the one that can with the AOSP ROM). Now I am using the updated version from the Play Store and that's why I can write this message now. This problem prevents me from updating the Firmware of course. Now the only thing I need to do is to restore the system partition through recovery. I could find a Nandroid backup from the past but it somehow also already contains the broken LatinIMEGoogle.apk file so restoring didn't help. Now I am here to ask kindly if somebody mind sharing a Nandroid of the Android 4.4.2 system partition to let me restore via my recovery. I tried to search in XDA but somehow nobody has such kind of solution. (They always refer to the factory image from Google website) which I don't want! Because to set up my device from scratch takes a loooooot of time. Down below I have attached a photo of the flash failure so you know what I mean.

You can just use the factory image from Google. You do not have to flash all the partitions; you can pick and choose.

First extract the system.img file from the factory image archive, then push it using

fastboot flash system C:\path\to\system.img

It won't wipe it because you're only flashing the system partition of the device, worst thing that could happen is a bunch of FC's upon booting it. (which is unlikely but we never know)
