[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjKukuc:
reply

I bought my Note 3 Neo 7505 LTE two months ago.

Coming from Nexus 5 to Samsung I was expecting some problems, as its my experience. My Note was a bit laggy but no overheating, phone didnt even was warm no matter what i was doin. But after I flashed Italian KitKat (week ago) my phone working like a charm, better perfomance, response and battery life changed like for 20%. Still I would like to root phone but of course I dont want to void warranty so i disabled all of the Samsung apps I was able.

Looking for Bulldog ROM, but until dev fix those major problems i will keep stock KK.

well i askd my frnd who works for sony india... and i asked him about android for older device.... he said Sony are considering L for our device an that will be the final... with z expire date for updates is august an zr september... so fingers crossed we may get our last an newist android 5.0 :D on the other side z1 conpact got 4.4.4 today... hope the delay in india might be , we straight away get 4.4.4 nxt month
[Sony Xperia ZR] puppynaz:
It's a little frustrating knowing you have to wait a WHOLE YEAR for the 5.0 Android 'L' update :(

But yeah, it's for sure the last update this device gets as our device will go 18 months in September 2015.

If I got my math right, we should get the update sometime around this time next year; May-June 2015, since it took almost the same for KitKat. Or it may release as early as Feb-March. The one main reason the developer preview for Android L is already out, so Sony and other OEMs will start working on making firmwares even faster. So let's hope for the best, people. :cowboy:

When There Will Be 4.4.2 Update For Sony Xperia ZR In India
[Sony Xperia ZR] Prior_Ori:
think will be 4.4.4?
[Sony Xperia ZR] john_cena163:
yea looks like a 4.4.4 straight away.. mayb coz the new fw still has bugs.. the reason its not out yet so looks like 4.4.4 is the update straight
[Sony Xperia ZR] Prior_Ori:
where does the information if it is not a secret?
[Sony Xperia ZR] zubairamd:
Atleast Sony gave us updates right from 4.1.2 >> 4.2.2 >> 4.3 and now 4.4.2.

That's just awesome as compared to HTC and Samsung where they are not updating their devices.

Even if there's no update I am satisfied and will install CM 12 for AOSP love.

But I would love if there's an Update to L.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Jonfensu:
If HTC update the M7, Sony MUST update their first Z series

Same thing for me to.

About 85-90 procent of the battery.

Only thing thats help tempory for me are uninstall service clear cache/tmp files.

And then reinstall it, have tried several versions.

But after a reboot the issue are back :-/

Sorry guys.... As another dev shuts up shop due to users/noobs that don't read opening posts or explain the bugs they having.

Custom roms will soon be a thing of the pass.

I for one knows how much time/effort goes into making a rom. It's no easy task. The amount of flashing/bricking to bring roms to us.

All the roms on xda are free but if this continues then devs may start charging for their roms (maybe not on xda but who knows) Wouldn't blame them really though.

All users need to understand if we don't have devs on Android. Then basically we will end up like iPhone users that are locked down. We should be grateful for all devs that brings us root without it then no custom roms would exist.

Do the Android community wanna end up like iPhone? I doubt it very much.

Respect the devs

Read the first post, search the thread! All answers are there. This excuse "I searched but couldn't find anything" is BS basically.

We will lose them all eventually.

Rant over.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DSA:
Post of the month!

ETA:

As much as I agree, this is flogging a dead horse

Until you can change the impatient 'fix it now, I refuse to read the first post post anyway, that bits not important' mentality of the average user, nothing will change
[Galaxy S 4 General] Abaddon:
I agree. most users in this community are selfish. most likely they demand fix this please, when's the next update, port it please, comparing their work to another's hard work, flaming and so on.

they neither try to read back the thread or use the search function. or has no clue with the forum rules. it's a sad thing but yeah it's here. it's really a sad thing but there's nothing we can do unless they learn to respect the free work devs have put into their work. people should realize devs are doing it on their spare time on their own will to share to people for users to enjoy for free.
[Galaxy S 4 General] 4aces:
Agree

I was hoping to find a thread like this and I totally agree with you.

But maybe that is not the end cause I think that the devs will still love what they do just that they try not to address certain people.

As great as the idea of XDA is and as much as I'm happy that this awesome forum exists..I think that it should be talked/discussed about the forum rules!!!

Example:

How can it be possible that you become senior member with 100 posts?

This leads to flaming in some cases and is no way near related on how helpful you are

The process in being allowed to post

While some are annoyed that they can't discuss right after logging the first time....for others it is way to simple to join and flame.

Rules enforcement

We all know that some posts we make are not related to the devices...and I think that this shouldn't be seen as an issue in general...XDA to me is also a communication page as long as the dev doesn't have a problem with it... BUT being disrespectful to the work you receive for free and claiming bugs where there are reported to be none and most important refusing to read should be looked after more often.

At last I really don't want to criticize XDA or what it stands for cause I still love it... I just hope it stays what it was created for and won't loose the devs which are doing so many awesome things for us because some people just can't follow the rules and be thankful for what they get
[Galaxy S 4 General] josephnero:
Maybe some new rules when people sign up?like private reference or something?but then again that would drop Ads revenue of this site drasticly
[Galaxy S 4 General] speedwayfan75:
Unfortunately it's fact that most of the users are never happy enough with the things they get FOR FREE. They don't see the hard work of the devs behind a custom ROM. They only see what they have on their phones, and if there's something they don't like, they complain and blame the dev. And the fact that many users don't read instructions or simple informations gives the devs more work. They have to watch their thread 24 hours a day and always be friendly and helpful. If that's not given, some users become rude. My favorite thread was closed this morning because of such stupidity. The dev pulls his heart and soul in his project and gets more negative than positive feedback. That's not fair.
[MENTION=2365012]4aces[/MENTION]: you know what thread I'm talking about, i think you agree, it's a sad sad day for us.
[Galaxy S 4 General] stevendeb25:
Exactly [MENTION=5135171]speedwayfan75[/MENTION] that why I had to voice my rant over that thread. And [MENTION=4097982]DSA[/MENTION] same for your thread too shut due to some users. Black box was great used on s3 then got discontinued on s4 :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] centavar:
So you are announcing the end of the custom ROMs, because of some impatient noobs, who have always been around and probably always will be? Are you for real? :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 General] stevendeb25:
Did I day that :banghead:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Lennyz1988:
In my opinion it's also the fault of XDA in general.

Just take a look in the Q&A section. So many question that have been anwsered before, so many people that just won't read.

In my opinion every thread that doesn't have a decent opening post should be closed untill they put some effort in it. But the more users XDA gets, the more money they make. So the skill level will only keep lowering and then some other decent website opens and replaces XDA.

Users just get to much space to do anything they want. I'm not blaming the mods in any way, because I think they are doing a good job. People higher up the ladder should take action or XDA will go down true their own succes.
[Galaxy S 4 General] angelcalibur:
I agree that there are many noob who do not read the post before replying.

But every boby was a noob before no?

just give them a chance to become good Android users...

PS: sorry for my english, i'am french !;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] worktorest:
You can't stop anyone from posting questions without searching first, or asking for OTAs. The only thing the devs can do is to ignore these people. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] DSA:
Its not as simple as that

If I create a development thread and include all relevant info in the first post, which is then populated with nothing but questions that are answered in the first post it makes it incredibly hard to find any proper posts which could contribute to the rom or for me to help a genuine user having issues

I created a specific q&a thread for these types of posts and everyone ignored it and filled up my dev thread instead

XDA has a chronic problem with users atm, I can't explain it or understand it, but I'm seeing more and more devs close their threads because of the users populating it

Have a read of the gravitybox thread in the xposed section...its unbelievable..

ETA: just had a read of the echorom thread...check [MENTION=4401403]friedrich420[/MENTION] last posts in there..I feel for him as I know exactly how he feels
[Galaxy S 4 General] rakhan01:
Users should be understanding about this. I think XDA should double the number of moderators so that useless posts are deleted on regular basis. For developers; they should create a third post on their ROM topic, that has a big list of all FAQs in bold.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tuckersmission:
I agree. I'm not sure if Devs will start charging, to be honest I'd probably pay, But anyways.... I work in Service Management for a Global IT company, and this behaviour is pretty standard when you are dealing with this many users..

I for one respond ONCE and the ignore users that make demands or unreasonable requests or are just plain offensive or rude.

What makes it worse though is the number of more experienced users that actually reply to these people in the thread. Honestly is some threads they have doubled the useless post count! Now, before I get flamed, I have done it myself because its just plain RUDE!!! But it doesn't take every 'good' user to flame back or stick up for the dev or say not to ask for ETAs! Just once will do and then ignore them!

If you ask any service professional or SixSigma bod, they will say 'focus on the good users and ignore the bad'.

Please please though reading multiple posts from good users responding to bad users is just as annoying as having to read the original bad post.

Peace Out People!
[Galaxy S 4 General] friedrich420:
I thank you from the bottom of my heart!! I know if anyone can understand is you my man!! I create a basic custom rom at best (and kernels lately). You create the most awesome rom i have ever used!! Way way over my head!! And you get the same treatment?? Its really not worth it!! People (im not generalizing because there are some EXCEPTIONAL USERS who deserve recognition) dont get (or dont want to get) what it takes to create a masterpiece like yours for example...

Thank you and my wish is that we will see you back!!

But one thing is for sure, something has to change...

It seems that people value something only if they have to pay for it... Im not say this should happen here but something that protects us (the creators/ providers of roms. kernels, recoveries, mods, apps etc etc) for the **** we get should be put in place... Some kind of mechanism that protects spamming and protects flaming... Something with more success than the current measures we have in place now...

Also THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT and opening this thread is a good thing!!

It needs to stay up and we need to make it into a "brainstorming pool" of ways to make sure devs who do this for free (therefore they do it because they love sharing) are protected...
[Galaxy S 4 General] finbaar:
How to stop stupid questions?

Firstly if devs want to be paid then good for them. Whatever they get it wont be enough. This might leave some users feeling empowered though - they would feel they were owed answers as they had paid "where is my promised bug fix you lazy asshole!". And we don't want that. So how about a testers thread for each ROM were the dev controls who can post and a general thread for each ROM were you have to pay to post ($0.20). It would encourage only real questions after peole have searched.
[Galaxy S 4 General] friedrich420:
You are so so right about that!!

Thats why i would never want to sell anything here..

Can you imagine what they would do to me??? :p

I mean i get abuse from offering free stuff for so many devices... can you imagine making money for it? People would think im their slave... :eek:

Hi guys,

My o2 xda mini S just suddenly died couple days ago. It didn't even hold any charges. I hard reset it and it kinda started working. I thought it was the t-mobile rom 2.26 screwed up my phone so i downgraded to rom 2.21. However, the phone started acting up again. Battery kept on draining quickly. And today, the phone died again. I'm trying to charge it and nothing happens. No indicator light. I even tried hard resetting it again but no luck. I guess it's totally dead now. Please let me know if there's something I can do. What's wrong with my phone? Did I brick it? I doubt that since after the rom 2.26 upgrade i was able to use the phone for a while. PLEAAAASSEE HEEELLLLPPP.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hanmin:
- Did you charge it with USB or charger?

- Does it feels unusually hot the last time it is used

Sound like a hardware problem though. Unlikely a ROM will give battery issues.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] roymseafood:
-I tried both USB and charger nothing charges.

-It doesn't feel hot at all.

Please help. Thanks.

and about the thread problem, i think that ur battery is dead...this damn device ONLY work with a working battery (just try removing the battery and turning on the device...what happens? nothing!)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] fishfood35:
try jump starting your battery with a 9 volt...I read it in some thread. Try using someone else's battery and see if it works.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ideologist:
<_<

Someone else's battery will do the trick. If it still isn't working, then I hope your warranty is still good? >_>
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Vital Phone Case:
what kind of case do you use ?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] omgwtfitsp:
I've actually found that using no case, at least on this phone is the best for me. For one, I'm not afraid of dropping my phone because I rarely do. But for another reason, I find cases tend to make the phone buttons harder to use. I bought a legit SPIGEN case per my friend's recommendation but as soon as I got it I hated it. Buttons become harder to press because its no longer raised out of the body as much, and the thing I hate most is that the case was actually slippier to hold than the phone naked, because this phone has the side grip. With the case, I would have to use slide2wake/lock to make daily use easier but I like the slim feeling of the phone so there's no case for me. I've yet to find a good case for this phone so if people have one, let us know, I'm curious.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dk0108:
I'm currently using the Poetic palette case. I hate bulky cases so i went for this one. Protects the device well enough. But i have to agree with the previous post, the grip is better without a case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ttheodorou:
i use a cheap tpu gel case BUT i cut holes for the buttons because it was way to hard to use them
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Mustafadvc1:
I'm using Ringke FUSION, it protected all body and you can feel buttons like no-case!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] linkboy:
I have the FUSION as well and I totally love it. Before that, I used a case I got from a T-Mobile store.

Using a white Ringke Slim and loving it.

There's one problem though, the bit covering the front on the top left is larger than all the other ones, causing my phone to wobble when face-down on a table. Anyone else have this problem?

I have been using the Ionic Guardian case for a while as my everyday case, really like it, and it is pretty cheap, under $10 for most colors. I also have a red Turtle Armor case that I use sometimes, it is pretty cheap but works well and has a holster. I did use a Mybat Tuff case for a while, it was great, but I just can't find it.

Been looking at the Boxwave Active series case lately, might order one with my next Amazon purchase to see what it is like, although for the price you can get an Otterbox, Trident, or Ballistic case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] andreadepinto:
I do not use and it's still perfect my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] silverton:
I have a Ringke Fusion and find this case actually makes the buttons easier to press. There have been a handful of times without the case that I have to physically look at the phone to find the buttons.

No problem with my Fusion but I did read some reviews. See if they will do an exchange for you.

As stated I have the Ringke Fusion. The added protection is great. I've dropped it a couple times and the bumper has handled it like a boss! Still being able to see what makes this phone so beautiful is a bonus! Why get a N4 if you're just going to cover up what makes it so pretty?

But, I digress, I think I'm going to opt for something like ghost armor as dust/dirt has gotten between the case and the phone and has marred the plastic fairly well. Does not appear to be any damages to the glass, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Also, the case seems to have vertically scratched the chrome trim around the bottom edge of the device.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] ramjet73:
I've tried a lot of cases for the Nexus 4 and settled on the Seidio Surface case with kickstand and holster and I'm very happy with that combo but it is a little pricey.

A good inexpensive case if you want something really light and unobtrusive is the Rearth Ringke Slim case. I use the Nexus 5 version of that case on my other phone but keep it in a horizontal leather pouch when not stationary. For $7 I would definitely recommend considering that over no case at all, especially since the Nexus 4 has a glass back.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Arkitech-:
I used a case on my phone as soon as a I got it originally, but I found they all caused problems with the buttons, making it harder to use.

Been running without a case for well over a year now and hardly any scratches or anything on it. I am always careful how I handle it though, I don't put it in pockets with any keys/change etc.

I have been using this case for over a year:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALL-BLACK-R...846038?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item589d293716

The main feature I wanted was a case with a hard plastic slide on cover that fully protects the front screen, and which didn't cost a fortune. The only issue I had with this case was with the belt clip, which too easily detaches if the phone gets snagged on something while walking; so I just removed the clip and carry the phone in my pocket. Very durable and I am happy with it, but not for someone who wants a slim or light case.

EDIT: Looks like it is no longer available.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] wolfen69:
Yeah, ebay and china make a good team. ;) ;) ;)

I now use the ringke fusion case, but wish it was the 100% clear one like the N5 has.

As an aside, I bought the N4 because I liked the way it looks, and use minimal/medium protection cases with clear backs. But when I know I'm going to have adult beverages, I put on the triple armor case. And that strategy has saved my phone a few times. If other people did what I did, these "screen repair" shops would be out of business.

As even another aside, I find it amusing when I hear of people that go "naked", drop/destroy their phones, and say they wouldn't change a thing if they had to do it all over again. Minimal clear case maybe? Hey, it's your money.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] acejavelin:
This case is available on Amazon for under $5 in about a dozen color combinations... I have a red/black one and its decent and not bulky. For the price they are great but don't offer the "corner drop" protection of something like Ionic, Ballistic, or similar quality hybrid cases.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] namzo:
No case.. Why cover up your device?
