[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philipp_94:
That's the same thing that I experience. I've not solved my problem for 100%. From time to time the "strange-charging-ghost" comes around but I don't know how and why. I just plug and unplug a few times and then its pretty normal. I hope that I don't have to get a repair because A: I am out of warranty and B: I don't know if it could get fixed. Anyway I just did a factory reset and flashed a RUU and everything was pretty normal.

Ps: my Diagnostic centre *#*#4636#*#* says that my battery is OK
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinterSoldier:
Hello, well, i'm having a little problem here, the thing is, my Nexus 4 is not recongnize at all by the computer, any computer, i already tried another computer, another usb cable, clearing cache, reset the device, usb debugging on and off, MTP and PTP and nothing, i'm using Archlinux and i think that the problem is not the computer because the Nexus 7 (2012) is recognize just fine, i believe that the problem started with Towelroot because before that everything was ok, i can't even update the OTA for the 4.4.4 because it sends an "error" when updating. Another thing, the phone charges so that is interesting.

I'm dying here :rolleyes:

Any solution or comment please.

Thanks.

Hello,

a friend of mine who has a Universal bought a Dual Sim holder.

But it doesn't work very well.

It doesn't work with Phone on/off to switch SIMs but he needs to use STK AUT software and it takes a lot of time, works half a time ...

So can someone, who use Dual Sim working on Universal, tell me precisely what dual sim card holder model he bought ?

Working fast to switch between SIM (rather using phone on/off method)

Will advice him to try the same.

Thanks

Uhm... We aren't psychics or anything, so we'll need A LOT more details.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krumbs:
The speaker volume seems to be too low! Can barely hear it. Was on the GPe ROM before this, and I am certain it was louder.

Any hacks to boost the volume without distorting the sound or blowing up the speaker?

Edit - Boosted the speaker volume to 98 in mixer_paths.xml, and now I can at least hear it!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sadman Khan:
No bugs yet for me
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I'm running 4.4.4 GPe, and I just checked the loudness of my speaker by using a dB meter app on my Desire HD, and I'm not complaining at all.

Again, it seems like one group of Ultra owners have a loud and good speaker (like I do), and a second group who has a lower quality speaker. This isn't the first time this topic is up around here.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sadman Khan:
85! What! That's a lot!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Indeed. That was with my DHD straight next to my Ultra, and this was one of the few times where I've pushed the volume to max. I usually have the ringer volume on 60-80% and I hear it easily when it rings.

This is stock 4.4.4 GPe without any volume mods or tweaks. xLOUD is enabled and that's it.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
I know this is an issues thread but have to say - I have no issues what so ever..

I did have "exchange services stopped" issues and sony email app issues that couldn't be solved by clearing cache/data.. but I fixed those (really well, I grabbed exchange bypass patched versions and now have full Hotmail email, contacts, calendar etc sync'ing)

sound is very good for me after previously having to hack away at xmls to get decent volume output.

all in all very happy with the update :) noticed slightly less free ram on 108 but at the risk of being flamed "unused ram is wasted ram" lol ;)

That's fine. Thanks, anyway. I'll keep an eye on the thread. Maybe do you have any other suggested ways of rooting Z ultra I can try?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
^^ [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] dual recovery install works I think.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xd4d3v:
Thats a driver issue, not an easyroot issue.

Try to troubleshoot the USD debugging first.

Have you enabled USD debugging to your PC?

Once you connect it for USB debug, it should popup a message saying if you want to allow it or not (on the phone)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
Just for the sake of the argument, but it seems that this easyroot thing is simply a GUI for PC which pushes towelroot to your device via adb. Have you tried going to towelroot.com and downloading the apk directly on your device and running it? Aside from being unable to run on HTC devices due to a locked system partition, it should run on any device without issues.

Try this. Hopefully it will work for you. I can attest to the fact that it does work on the gpe version.

You want me to put the hammer down?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
^^ tr.apk md5 mismatch when directly sourced from towelroot (at the moment) see easyroot thread for workarounds (non md5 mismatch apk there somewhere in thread - but yes, you're spot on I think)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shany_in:
I'm not saying it is an easyroot issue, it just did not work for me. I did enable USB debugging on phone. Where is it on PC side?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xd4d3v:
don't need to enable it on the PC side, just male sure the first time you connect it. your phone will ask you if it allows the PC to connect or not.

after that check if adb commands work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:

I dont have any issues with 4.4.2 but am tempted to update to stop the annoying notifications telling me that there is a software update.

Hi. How do you fix the battery drain in 4.4.4? im having the same problem! I hope someone can help me please. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jecmenn:
Try format your SD Card and with full wipe install fresh system. This is how i fixed it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Yep, the two big culprits seem to be a damaged media file or location based services
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kiedamrong:
how did you fix it? I have the same battery drain issue on 4.4.4.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sab3elbromba:
Thanks a lot for the apk file.

If I now root my device using this apk I will not have the camera problems that others with unlocked bootloader are facing?

Will I continue to receive OTA updates on my ZU GPE after root?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
It has nothing to do with the camera errors. Root will simply allow you to have root access level on the device. The camera issue comes from upgrading to 4.4.3 and something to do with unlocking the bootloader (possibly DRM keys being wiped and the kernel looking for them in order to properly initialize the hardware). Since this root method does not require unlocking of the bootloader, you should still be OK.

As long as you are running a stock kernel and recovery, you should still be able to receive updates via ota.

I literally had 8 hours and 10 minutes of screen time day yesterday. On 70% brightness. Maybe it was because i played Pokémon on an emulator. Battery life was never better for me XD
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LxMxFxD:
4.4.4 seems to have resolved all issues I had on 4.4.2.

Speaker crackle is gone on notifications and general audio

Screen sensitivity / Phantom presses seems to be resolved SO FAR. On 4.4.2 I had to clean the screen daily or else suffer phantom touches.

No comment yet on battery life but performance seems same if not better than 4.4.2.

Kudos to sony btw for releasing this so quickly. 4.4.4 came out June 20th for Nexus devices. Samsung would have taken 3 months to roll this out.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jecmenn:
First you must format your SD card. After that perform a full wipe and then flash system.

Now i can get about 7 hours on screen with 100% brightnes and medium usage (playing some games, watching videos, internet browsing and playing music thru bluetooth). So yeah, it's big difference because on 4.4.2 i had barely 4 hours with same usage. BUT phone is still badly overheating so there is still something that needs to be fixed.

I don't know it depends on what are you doing on your phone. If you most of the time playing games or watching videos then your battery will not last that long. And of course it depends on apps running in background.

That tool does not unroot your phone. All it does it trip the root flag so when you boot into download mode it says unrooted. It is meant to be used so that if you take your phone into your carriers store and an associated wants to check if its rooted, it will say its unrooted when the associate puts it in download mode, but it is in fact still rooted. This DOES NOT unroot the phone.

See attached screen shot:

How is the performance on the 8.4 with Touchwiz? I was looking at getting a Nexus 7 because I'm a huge fan of the vanilla Android feel and how responsive it is but I think 7" would be a bit too small for me, but I am a bit reluctant to bite the bullet on the Tab S in case Touchwiz ends up bogging things down.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRevilatioNx:
The TouchWiz is much more refined in this iteration. It's a much more enjoyable experience. The UI is more simple in design. You can also disable most of it. (but not all of it) People are also going to Nova Launcher if they want Android in its most native form.
