[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f1ux:
I'm thinking of getting an xperia z1 to replace my iphone 4s that i use purely for car audio/sat nav.

I've tried android devices in the past ( galaxy s2,s3 and motorola) but I could never get voice control to work well in choosing music.

1) There used to be a limitation where you could only choose to play a song rather than an album( patent thing I think) is this gone/how well does it work on the xperia?

e.g i'd like to do handsfree ' play album X' etc

2) If the phone is locked, can you trigger voice control by holding the power button on the side? Touch screen buttons are tricky to work when driving and the xperia doesnt have a physical 'home' button like other phones.

If not, can i remamp the power button to trigger voice control if i hold it for 2 secs for example?

3) 128gb micro sdxc cards. Do they work ok in those phone?

thanks for your time!

So why is it that the Dialer is laggy? From opening up the keypad during call, Bluetooth/speaker On/Off and hanging up its so bad!!

Happens on Stock ROM or ANY other ROM based on N900T. Runing a N9005 ROM the Dialer is fine..

Hi Everyone! Im a newbie in this development areas so please be kind on comments. Im asking if anyone is interested in an Xperia Neo V NXT themed rom based on .42/.62 GB firmware. I believe there are some users out there that are still using that amazing phone. To be honest, it isnt actually a rom but a flashable system full of mods that have been compiled together to make this rom possible. Any partnership requests will be responded if anyones wants it so please reply so i know :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] martirio3000:
CM11 for our device is a ****... The same goes for cm10. They are overheating and drain the battery quite faster. As for the rom gin2kitkat is the BEST rom for gingerbread. Dont bother creating a new rom. But thanks for even trying :).

Hmm, sincebl i guess no one is really interested i will scrap the project, thanks guys :)

have u tested latest cm11 .. best battery stats u ever get on cyanogenmod and with latest features like google now u know how many changes made from gb to kk .. i'm running cm11 on 1.4hz without any issue u can give it xperia style kitkat with xperia overlay it runs on 1.6ghz without any problems .. i know u are still living in ancient age growup .. no offence :silly:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] martirio3000:
kidding me? you said it yourself.. .. best battery stats u ever get !!!on cyanogenmod!!! that still doesnt mean that battery doesnt suck!. As for google now and all the latest features yes they are awesome i really miss them.. Also 1.6Ghz? Thats dangerous for the phone itself. Also i am not in the ancent age group for no reason. With gingerbread i can have multitasking can you say the same?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] deccan451:
Yes battery was worst before not anymore on cm11, we can run CPU 1.4ghz by default without any problem see snapdragon s2 processor specs, kk is designed for 512mb ram we can do multitasking with latest apps on GB u won't get updates to application's also features are limited ... Finally choice differs my usage suites kk and your GB

Yes i agree with you. cm11 is way better than cm10. Ram and everything.. (Also it gives me the feel my screen is bigger :eek:) ).

Still the overheating excists.. Thats the main reason i left and also the kernels have some problems... Like touch freeze 3min boot and such. Also this thread is soon gonna be closed :D.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AAbounegm:
Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100G version) with a broken screen. The display is blank and shows nothing, but I know the phone is working properly because of the sounds played (boot sound and notifications).

I have come through this tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2786395 , but there is only one problem. USB Debugging is not enabled. The phone is not rooted, and is fully on stock (ROM and Recovery). All I want is to only enable USB Debugging, and I can use ADB to do everything else. I tried to boot it into recovery to see if that gives me ADB access, but it boots normally. I tried to boot it to Download mode to flash CWM through odin, but I can't see anything and it still boots normally. I pulled the settings.db file from another S2 with the USB Debugging enabled, but I need ADB to push it to the broken phone. I read the solution in the link above, but I don't know how to sideload or how to edit a kernel or anything like that. I have access to another S2 (same version), rooted, and with a custom recovery (CWM) if that will help in pulling a file or anything. I read so many threads, but none of them had the exact problem, or worked when trying to do what they said. What I can do now to enable USB Debugging?

Please help. Thanks in Advance :)

EDIT: I was able to go to recovery mode and ADB Shell, but I cannot get root permission at all to edit build.prop or even settings.db

Just have noticed that new units have much better screen in them! Look at the pictures. New screen doesn't change color while viewing under different angles and it dimms instead of turning off! Looks like screen on new Artemis units! Red is red on new units, doesn't have this pink hue.

Can you post the first 3 digits of the Serial Number from both devices in the pictures?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lewcamino:
There is no way for me to tell by just the picture but I think I have the better screen.

I have serial 628 so you would think that it would have the bad screen, then again I am basing it off a picture.

On the other hand, maybe HTC was using the good screens then got a better deal on these other ones, and now is switching back? Because I have not had the alignment issues everyone else speaks of (THANK GOD, I feel for you guys I really do. You see the flip out touch screen in my car acts up and it drives me INSANE!)

So chalk up another inconclusive and basically useless post for me!

Later, Lew

Also, could anyone recommend any good portable speakers?

Get your current wallpaper to blur LockScreen background.

I think you can port this effect to other apps

known bug: it may OutOfMemory sometimes

How to Install :

Download SystemUI.apk .

Rename it to UxpNxtLockScreen.apk .

Copy it to system/app .

Change Permissions .

Reboot and enjoy.

It is easy to port this effect to other apks :

1. decompile the apk which you want to port to and decompile UxpNxtLockScreen_blur_1.1.apk .

2. copy the files from /smali/com/ztc1997/bfldemo/ in UxpNxtLockScreen_blur_1.1.apk to /smali/com/ztc1997/bfldemo/ in the apk which you want to port to .

3. edit layout file(s) in the apk which you want to port to like /res/layout/main.xml in UxpNxtLockScreen_blur_1.1.apk .

4. you can edit blur radius : in /smali/com/ztc1997/bfldemo/BlurUtils.smali line 30 "const/16 v4, 0x14" ,0x14 is a hex number ,equal to 20 in dec, you can edit it you want.

5. recompile and enjoy

Hey everyone,

I need some help, a while ago I attempted to install a custom ROM for my HTC One m7. Anyway I never actually installed the custom rom so I still have my carriers version or rom still installed (Optus australia) which is the good news! The bad news is I still have TWRP recovery installed instead of the stock recovery. Now my problem is I want to install the latest update from my carrier but it keeps going into TWRP when the phone restarts to install the update. Is there away to remove TWRP and install stock recovery that comes with the phone? If so do I have to install RUU file? The problem is I cant find the RUU file for optus australia anywhere, except the nandroid file, but i think ill have problems with the touch screen if use that? So Is there a way to install stock recovery without using ruu, rom or nandroid file?

I then hit the power button and volume up to get into its loader screen (not really sure what its called) and I restored the phone to factory settings and then rebooted the phone. I then download the update again and restarted the phone to get the red triangle and explanation mark again.

I did notice when I got into the bootloader that my device is still TAMPERED ,***UNLOCKED** and the s-on is active. Could any of these be the reason why its not installing the latest update? sorry im pretty bad at this!
