[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
Unfortunately... The only way to test that is to try it. There's no specifics like that in the manual. Maybe you could ask a Google Support rep or an LG rep. Worth a shot though. There would have some to be some protection in place, otherwise there would be a lot more fires happening. (again I haven't heard one report of an exploding Nexus 5 due to charging yet)

Edit : A service manual was leaked according to this source and there appears to be an overvoltage chip.

Over Voltage Chip - Each voltage source (micro USB connector and wireless charging IC) has an over voltage chip between it and the battery charging chip. These protect the battery charging chip from over voltage or reverse polarity situations. The part number for this over voltage chip is MAX14670E.

Source : http://androidforums.com/nexus-5/803682-usb-chargers-nexus-5-a.html

And a manual to the chip which states it's a "bi-direction blocking current chip"

Thanks for that info!

It still doesn't mean the N5 is 100% protected against reverse-polarity but it does make me feel better and safer with my new phone.

Edit: My old SGS Captivate's USB connection just started working by itself :) After countless falls and all kinds of crazy things I have done with this phone, its still kicking. It was a solid device.

I recently tested exactly that with a fast charging brick with my Xiaomi Note 9 Pro and it survived it without any problems. Guess these USB Type C chips are very well designed 👍

I typically play "long" books, say 12 hrs or more.

At some point midway or toward the end the book will on ly play like 5 seconds and stop.

If I move back - same thing - 5 seconds and it cuts out.

If I move forward - same thing.

If I delete the entire file and start over it plays only to stop again at an even more random spot.

Anyone else having this problem?

Hey guys, this is a cross-post of sorts. I just got root execution on my stock Z2 Tablet and it appears that the same method should work for Z2 phone. I have a Z2 phone but just haven't tested it on that one yet.

Here is my Windows, Linux and Mac OSX script to grab the TA partition from Sony devices and deploy full root (superuser + reboot script):

https://mega.co.nz/#!jRB1FBJT!RKIi13TRj__mi7pKIGXP654CBJHi2gc0bIlYONcSfZQ [Update, v11]

Requirements:

1. Be on a firmware earlier than .402

Instructions:

1. Extract exploit.tar.gz and run ./root.sh (Linux) or root.bat (Windows)

2. Follow the instructions and your TA.img will be given and su will be deployed.

Features:

This disables SELinux, takes out sony_ric and then deploys su to /system/xbin/su

This works on ALL Sony Android mobile phones.

This can be run on any operating system.

Survives reboots [thanks to chargemon by DooMLoRD]
[Xperia Z2 General] Stranger1984:
can't download the file. MEGA asking me about a decryption key.
[Xperia Z2 General] quailallstar:
Might be onto something here. This is for those that only want root and not an unlocked BL right?
[Xperia Z2 General] sfex3best:
Awesome work if it is working. Unfortunately I'm on .402 :(
[Xperia Z2 General] TheOnlyIntruder:
Really? how about on .55? If it'll work on that I'm rolling back the update. *gets .55 ftf*
[Xperia Z2 General] in_finity:
Awesome if this in fact works on the Z2!

And who cares if it requires .69 and doesn't run under .402? The only reason I currently don't want to unlock my BL is the loss of my TA partition. So one could simply downgrade to .69, backup TA, upgrade to .402 again and unlock BL (and insert DRM keys again), right? :o
[Xperia Z2 General] xsacha:
That's exactly what I did.

Technically it should work on 55 too but just not sure because I copy all the vendor libs from 69 tablet.

Someone could easily make a generic firmware that works on all phones with all firmwares but that's not my focus. I just wanted to get this out here and working for Sony because I'm surprised it isn't out already.
[Xperia Z2 General] TheOnlyIntruder:
I'll have a go with it on .55, I've been having some problems with .402 anyway so it gives me an excuse to roll back the update, now I just need to get my hands on a linux live disc. (should have one knocking about).

Awesome. Looks like everything worked right up to the last vdc which was run by the wrong user. Easy fix. Looks like this definitely works on z2 phone then.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] totaman:
I have had the M8 since release and I've always had the issue of no new notification, if I receive a text while the screen is on and I'm still in the current conversation. Example: I'll text someone back, put the phone down without turning the screen off but don't check it unless I hear the notification go off. I'll get a new text but I won't receive a notification (vibrate, ringer or LED).

I've tried 8SMS and Hangouts and the issue is still there. I've tried to search for any solutions but nothing has pointed me to a similar thread (could be keywords I'm using). For now, I try to hit the home button when I'm finished sending my text in hopes I would get the notification.

Can somebody point me to a fix or suggest a fix? I'm rooted and s-off'd but running stock ROM.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xaalfx:
By any chance. Do you use sms backup and restore? I know that when I use it, that specific app forces me to set the restore app as my default sms app and I don't get any text notifications.

Is there a way to force authorization or get by it?

or a Key combo to try in a specific order?

If I could get into download mode I'd be fine.

I'm thinking I need a jig.

But why wouldn't the key combo work it worked once before and now it wont what changed?

[EDIT]

Ok I fix

solution: take battery out wait few sec or more if want to. then press volume down + home + power

the trick to this is timing it's like gutair hero iii up in this lol

so once it vibrates you can let go of power

but wait about 1 to 2 seconds before you let go of volume and home buttons.

If you hold it too long you'll see a screen flash then it will reboot

but if you let go to early you see nothing.

So you have to time it exactly right it took me a few tries.

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to stop a specific applicaiton from updating. (that is not the disable automatic updates and manually update)

Some applications are frequently updated, and eventually you can reach a point where you have many programs wanting to update, and then 1 or 2 programs which you never want to update because the developer decided to remove a feature for no reason, or made a change that breaks compatibility with some devices.

Overall, I would like to be able to use the "Update All" button without having to worry about it updating the 1 or 2 applications that I never want updated.

Hi Guys,

I had a corporate Vodafone Blackberry 7130 but gave it up to use my XDA IIs with the vodafone enabled blackberry SIM.

I upgraded my XDA to the latest o2 ROM from UK which has the BB connect software (the GPRS settings are of O2-UK I can see) and whola - everything works great. Am able to sync with my server with no change in GPRS settings etc. Am able to receive email, sync calander etc.

Big question - since I am using the GPRS setting for O2 and not vodafone is this going to case a billing problem for me? I called vodafone and they said if I stay within my downloadlimit of 6MB whichever fone or connection I use is immaterial.

Can anyone else who has done this confirm? or will I get slapped with a million dollar bill for using a GPRS setting of O2 for BB downloads or using an XDA and not their BB phone for email (I dont browse - only email downloads).

please please please - someone who has gone through this dilema - can you explain...how does the BB connect work? even though I dont have the vodafone setting on my XDA how am i able to get BB connected using O2 GPRS settings?????

thanks

Dev
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] alpviram:
if you are using vodafone SIM then it would use the same GPRS connection and not o2 connection.

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rockstar600:
Hello everyone,

Hope you are doing well,

As you can already know by the topic name. My 7 day old HTC Desire 816 has gone for a toss. You might ask how?

Here's the whole story. ( I haven't been posting much of topics like this, bear with me if I miss out any point)

I got the phone around 7-8 days ago. I wanted a secondary Android phone that can be used as a multimedia device, and can fit my needs for Music, surfing the web, Whatsapp, Facebook and so on. I finally decided to get this phone. I was quiet happy with it. But then suddenly after 2 days, I had this issue of the power button getting stuck inside the phone's body, and that too all by itself. And I got a message saying "To restart your device, press the power button and volume up/down button." I didn't even know why that happened, but then I thought that it might have happened because I kept the phone in my jeans. The jeans itself wasn't that tight, at least not tight for a phone's power button to get stuck! :mad:

This issue was somehow solved by gently pressing the power button again. And it used to work fine after. :eek:

But today night, (13th FRIDAY!!! June 2014) when I kept my phone to charge, the same message appeared "To restart your device, press the power button and volume up/down button." I took it normally, thinking this happened because the power button might have been stuck again, and this time the phone wasn't in my jeans pocket either, so I gently pressed it again. But this time, nothing happened. And the power button was literally inside the phone. I tried pressing it a bit harder thinking it would release itself somehow, but nothing happened either. :mad:

Maybe I just have a faulty unit? Or is it something else that's making this happen? Just disappointed because this happening to a week old device is just too bad. I have no idea what will the Service Center guys will have to tell me.

I wanted to ask can I get a replacement? I don't want to use the same handset now. Also, asking the fellow Desire 816 owners, do they face the same issue?? Like the power button not responding? Or the volume button??

It is almost 2am, tomorrow I will be visiting the service center and would let them know about the issue. I will keep you guys updated if ever interested. Fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:

Are your volume and power buttons sturdy? Or do they move a bit? I find the buttons cheap since the beginning and this incident has made me hate the phone more.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bade398:
Yes they fell cheap

Volume button moves a little bit

Power buttons doesn't but i can press them well and not facing any problem.

As for hating ur phone i think you should get a replacement cuz every thing else in this phone is amazing especially for its price 330$ for the dual sim unlocked version is not expansive at all.

Hope u can change it :)

Use pocket gravity sensor apk for the time being until you find a proper solution. If you are good enough, remove the back part of the mobile starting from head phone socket and fix the power button. Hard but the only way to make it fully functional again without changing phone.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystify69:
The best option is to use a flip cover. It not only protects your phone in the long run but when you open the cover the screen turns on automatically and turns off when you shut the cover. In this way it's easier and it will also protect your phone and the power button.

BUT that is my case. i cant vouch that its everyones.

At least someone tried this.

My 816 was insured. I could have tried to open it. But i didn't wanted to keep the 816 with me after facing this issue with a new handset. Hence I ended up exchanging it.
