How many of the pre-installed third party apps cannot be uninstalled on the European G3?

I have seen some say for example that McAfee cannot be uninstalled.

First thing I always do is uninstall all the rubbish bloat third party apps manufacturers think you want but sometimes you get apps it will not let you remove.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pupsterface:
First off, if this has already been addressed I am sorry I couldn't find anything about this.

My wife's Sony Xperia U has been behaving quite weirdly lately and is about to be thrown in the garbage very soon, it is (or the battery is) most likely 87.35% dead but I want to ask here in case it would be something else and could be fixed before she buys a new phone.

Short backup story, she works at a farm and gets a lot of dust and stuff on her phone, and once when she cleaned it up it died for 2 days and the water indicators are now red (duh). It wasn't booting up or charging, the red DEL wasn't lighting up either. But then after a while I toyed with it (literally torn it open because I broke a screwhead and had to force it open to see if there were any apparent damage, but I didn't break the components, just forced on the plastic frame), I didn't find anything, but when I closed it down I tried to plug it in... And it charged. Then it worked perfectly fine for about two weeks. Two days ago it died again.

Here's the real problem: When the battery is completely depleted I can charge it (the red DEL shows up and all) but as soon as it got enough charge to boot up I am unable to charge it in any way whatsoever. If I boot it up the DEL won't show and it doesn't charge, if I don't boot it up the DEL shows for 2 seconds when I plug it in then it goes off and the screen shows the Sony logo for a few seconds then turns off. I am no longer able to charge the phone until we wait for the battery to be depleted again, then I can charge it (after over 30 minutes of trying). I did a factory reset but no changes. Oh and computers no longer detect the device, it worked last week but not anymore.

I suspect that the battery is the issue, however it does charge completely when I plug it in while it is depleted so it is not dead (could be damaged though). Since it charges sometimes it must not be the USB port (I have inspected it and cleaned it, looks fine). The cable/charger is all right, it works perfectly fine on everything else (and we did try another cable to be sure).

Does anyone have any idea of what could be done to fix this if it is possible to do so without buying/changing parts? The phone is no longer under warranty and my wife doesn't want to invest money in the device, if it can't be home fixed then she'll buy a new one. I know it is most likely that nothing can be done but I'm still hoping since she really loves this device and I want to fix it for her if I can.

TL;DR: Phone is all right, battery is most likely almost dead, I need to know if it can be fixed or not before we buy a new phone.

Sorry for the long post, and sorry again if it is obvious that nothing can be done (I still hold on on my hopes, just in case). And yes I'm Canadian, sorry for being sorry. :D

Video

In case anyone wants to look at my issue here is a video of what happens when I plug the charger in when the battery is charged and the device is turned off. You can see the red DEL for a few seconds when I plug the cable in.

If anyone needs more information (in the event that there is still hope) feel free to ask, of course.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kopter3161:
I didnt think battery could do such a mess like that. Im afraid your phone charge controller had been damage by the water. Could you enter fastboot or flashmode?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pupsterface:
Of all the things I have thought of, I didn't try these two options, but the device is rooted and its bootloader isn't even unlocked, can I still enter fastboot or flashmode?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kopter3161:
You should be able to enter flashmode regardless of bootloader condition. Did you try it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pupsterface:
Just tried, but after the DEL bar turns green nothing happens (the phone either boots regularly or not at all), I have read that it needs to be over 70% charge and it is around 40% so I need to wait for it to be depleted to charge it again to 100% (because for now I can't charge it at all as I explained in my first post)... What would you suggest me to do once I can enter flash mode?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kopter3161:
By DEL did you mean LED? Im sorry just confused. If the led turn green an stay like that for around a minute then your bootloader certainly not damaged. I suggest you flash stock firmware using either Flashtool or SEUS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pupsterface:
Haha yeah I meant LED, DEL is in my native language and I switched them up, sorry! :P I have fully charged the phone now, and I can't seem to enter flash mode (or w/e the name), I am supposed to connect the USB cable to my PC (but not to the phone), power down the phone, press and hold volume down then plug the cable in, but the only thing that happens is the LED bar turning green for a few seconds then nothing (if I keep on holding volume down then the phone boots normally, if I release volume down then the phone shuts down after showing the Sony logo).

On the side I am trying to download the Oneclick root thing I've heard about, see if rooting the device and installing a new ROM can help...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kopter3161:
Seems like you dont have proper driver on your pc. Btw if you succesfully rooted your phone and in case you had unlocked bootloader, i suggest using latest nightly CM11.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pupsterface:
It seems that the version of my wife's phone cannot have its bootloader unlocked so I can't root it, however I did use the provided program by Sony (PC companion or something) and have upgraded the device to Android 4.x, it has been working fine for nearly two days now, I hope that it will hold. Last time I had "fixed" it it had stopped charging after about a week for no discernable reason.

I was unable to enter flash mode but I still want to thank you as it were your advice that made me think of upgrading the phone.

Sent from my LG Optimus L7 running on KitKat Prime.

Other device: Asus Transformer TF300T (No longer used, LCD is broken) :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kopter3161:
Good to hear it. Hope it will stay that way. Btw, if you are unable to unlock bootloader you still can root it in case you had sim-free phone. After you root it you can still install custom recovery and other custom rom that can be use on stock bootloader. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] scorn101:
Question

Question... How were you able to update the phone through PC companion if the phone is not being detected and only charging when connected to the PC?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pupsterface:
Sorry for taking so long to answer! Well when the phone's battery is full it gets detected by my computer so I could upgrade it. But unfortunately it did not fix the issue. The phone would work as normal for a while then suddenly die and I have to wait a couple of hours before I can charge it up and open it again. So I guess it is officially dead.

My wife just got a new device (Moto G) so I guess that all's good now. She was able to back up her pictures and data, gladly.

Thank you a lot for your help!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] scorn101:
Oh well its a paperweight then haha. Seems like its a problem with the phones board, sony has really gone to the dumps after parting with ericsson. I never had any issues with my X10 back in the day cept for bricking it myself time and again with bad flashed lol.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pupsterface:
Yeah, what makes me sad is that she really loved the device (Sony's UI and all), she wanted another Sony but there were none at the shop and got the Moto G but she seems to like it too! I got a Nexus 5 to replace my LG Optimus L7... Damn thing was slow as hell! Now it's almost faster than my 1300$ laptop haha!

[HTC Droid DNA] crabtreebrandon29:
What's is the possibility of this on our DNA? Also what do you think is the probability of HTC releasing L for the DNA?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
It's quite possible you may see a port, when source is released or an "L" version makes it into the wild.

For now, there is no source or roms to port. All there is, is a Dev Preview, for devs to get working on their apps.

HTC officially releasing "L" for the Dna? I highly doubt it.

[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Not sure why you quoted me. I'm well aware of that project and have been trying to help.

It's still 99% non functional and useless.

You can get the same benefits from looking at pictures of the OS update.

If I can finally get wifi working, it may prove semi useful.

Until then, it's a worthless, pain in the butt, broken port. (saying that because I've worked on porting it)

With the level of complaints that come with one broken feature in a rom, I would not wanna post something that broken, in this forum, for this device.

Even if it is just for a preview.
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
Wait for official release from HTC for the m7. As the DNA is very similar it would be feasible for a near bugless port at that time.
[HTC Droid DNA] dickcruz:
Twitter Update

Do you think that it's more likely now that the DNA will get a port within a month or two?

I was going to recommend trying skweezer.net, it manages to 'mobilise' all the forum pages very neatly but it falls over when you try to log in (can't handle the http post request, or the way the forum sets session cookies, something odd like that, properly).

For viewing the forum though, it's a great compromise - skweezer.net, as recommended by a user (me!).

In theory, all it would need is a new stylesheet to be made, and then to have a link to 'mobilise' the forum for either that session or whatever... Just use the mobile stylesheet instead of the screen or regular stylesheet and we're laughing. Of course, don't ask me to do it, I'm wayyyyyyyy too lazy. And wouldn't know where to start, I've fallen off horribly in my web dev skills as I've not had to do any for a fair while now!
[About XDA developers] herman3101:
I also miss the mobile version of the forums and also think that your stylesheet choice should be stored as a cookie. Considering the forum is all about phones it would make sense to have an optimised view for them that you can reply from. The reason your choice should be stored in a cookie is because like most people I browse xda-developers on a desktop as well as my phone.

Thanks for all your great work you've done over the years.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] beerdart:
Been searching without success can I restore an unrooted backup to unroot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Killa357:
If this backup really doesn't have root, then yes I believe that would technically unroot it as far as the OS is concerned. You would still have a custom recovery unless you restored that to stock. May I ask why you were doing this?
[Sony Xperia L] david pro:
When moving from one kitkat ROM to another do i need to first revert back to stock first???

No, but I recommend making a backup first and doing a factory reset before moving.

No, just install another custom rom normally...

Hi guys, my frend has got a Note 3 but he's kinda noob and he doesn't know much about Android modding. He asked me if there's a ROM for the Note 3 in which the Gear works like on the stock ROM but I'm noob like him on Note 3 modding so I didn't know what to say :silly: Can you guys help ?

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rellog321:
I bought and second hand Verizon LG 8.3 a few weeks ago for my wife. She used it trouble free for about 2-3 weeks, but just last week, it has started acting weird. I began with random crashes to desktop during some of the games she plays (Soduku, Wheel of Fortune, etc.) After reset, it wasn't crashing to desktop, but the screen goes blank temporarily then returns to normal. When reading a Nook book, the screen will go blank (not black, just words disappear) and the loading wheel appears. After 1-2 seconds, it returns to the normal page. Additionally, occasionally, the Nook settings bar appears randomly, as well. It has a Otter case, which I removed to test, but the issues persist. I has the stock 4.2.2, and I have not tried rooting or any major changes as of yet. I have tried factory reset 3 times now.

I contacted LG, but they just want it shipped back with receipt (which I don't have), or else they can't do anything. Any ideas here? Can this be hardware related? Should I try rooting first? Wait for the Kitkat update to see if that fixes it, etc?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rellog321:
Update

I just thought I would update, in case anyone else runs into this issue with the G Pad 8.3.

Turns out, it was the SIM card. After purchasing it, the 4G service was still active for a couple of weeks (Verizon's 4G is fast, btw...) so it remained in the tablet. It took a several days after the service ended for the issue to appear, and then it dawned on me; even though the 4G service was turned off, that the SIM may affecting the system. Sure enough, after removing the SIM card all is well. Wish I would have thought of it before resetting the thing like 10 times, but better late than never... :cyclops:

Maybe this would be obvious to others, but having never used a SIM card, it never even occurred to me. So just a heads up to anyone buying a Verizon LG 8.3; make sure the SIM card is removed, if you plan on not using the cellular service...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandragonrage:
Hi all,

I need help getting my APN to save. I use Cricket Wireless and their APN settings are here: http://buzzmobile.us/cricket-apn-settings/

The problem is the MNC is 004 for Cricket, but changing the MNC to that makes the APN not save. I tried adding the APN line by line to see which setting made the APN disappear, and it's MNC. I've had this problem now on Mahdi 5/28, Mahdi 6/15, and now Paranoid Android RC2. My phone is the D801.

It does seem to sometimes work if I change the MNC. The APN will disappear from the list every time, but sometimes it will set the APN correctly and give me LTE, but only until I reboot the phone and then it's back to not working. This morning it doesn't appear to be working even if I re-enter the APN, though.

Why does this problem exist on multiple ROMs (saving APN settings seems like REALLY basic functionality to me) and how do I fix it? And why do I see several search results saying "don't change MCC or MNC" when clearly that is incorrect advice? If Cricket says MNC is 004 and some random forum people say Cricket is wrong, well... sorry, but Cricket would know better than you guys (those who say to not change it).

Thanks

EDIT: I //THOUGHT I// FOUND A SOLUTION! Instead of APN type "internet" I decided to try "internet,default" and immediately LTE came on. I don't understand why it worked without setting MNC when I changed this, but hey, it worked and I am happy at the moment. However, it would still be nice to see devs fix the MNC problem. I'd delete this thread but I see no option to do so. Mods can delete it if they feel like it. Or they can leave it up in case someone else has the same problem and wants to try the potential workaround of adding the ",default" to APN type. I'd still like to change the MNC to what Cricket says to use, though, because they wouldn't tell us to change it if it didn't do anything.

EDIT 2: Workaround doesn't seem to work. I get a proxy failed error. It says LTE but nothing seems to be able to use it. I think I need the MNC changed after all. Is there any developer who has this working right? It's really frustrating to go through multiple ROMs/versions only for incredibly basic functionality to not work.

Edit 3: USB tethering seems to work, but nothing on the phone itself. Weird! AAAND now I took the ",default" back out and LTE seems to be there again. Testing the phone now. I wonder if there was some sort of data outage in my area earlier that was causing issues. And I just rebooted the phone and now LTE is gone again (and I made sure the APN was selected)... This is seriously messed up. My phone is behaving extremely inconsistently and I want to throw it at a wall at full strength at the moment.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeswap:
Android reads the MNC from the SIM. APNs with MNCs that are different than the SIM's will be hidden. Unless you are using your G2 on the legacy Cricket CDMA network you should be using the settings on the Cricket website https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup...ice-byod/customer/bring-your-own-android.html
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandragonrage:
Huh. I wonder why I didn't see that link when I was Googling for the settings. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the link.

Odd thing is it's worked on and off with the old settings, including setting the MNC to 004 (even though it did make the entry disappear). I don't understand it. I guess it doesn't matter, though, if these other settings work. Inconsistency is the most frustrating thing, because it's not obvious that your settings are wrong if they work sometimes but not others...

Edit: I can confirm the settings from that link are working... for the moment. I absolutely would not be surprised if it just randomly stops working again in the next 24h. Maybe I'll get a different phone when that happens.

I did live chat with Cricket Wireless and asked them to make sure the link you gave comes up for the search I did which was "cricket wireless apn settings android". Hopefully they will listen to my feedback so nobody else gets caught in this trap. Anyway, thanks again.

It would also be nice if Android would tell you why it's hiding an APN you just added... I wonder if devs could add an informative text about that.

My original usb cable has lost its performance to charge my galaxy note.

Its current just 400mA (galaxy note normally need around 1800) . So it'll takes more time to charge.

As my experience with samsung device.

Samsung usb cable is easly lost its performance to charge.

I've tried :

blackberry gemini usb cable (400mA)

Galaxy tab usb cable (1100-1600mA)

So I'm planing to replace my usb cable with sony xperia z usb cable. (I don't know the current yet)

I use the Monoprice premium USB cable. They're cheap Chinese made, but they work well and fairly durable. Just buys a couple of them and you'll be set. The best part, they're cheap enough that when they do break, which none of mine have yet, you'll most likely not care and you'll already have a back up, assuming you bought more than one.

Personally, I keep charges and USB cables all over the place--car, backpack, work, home.
