Update: Installed .314 via FlashTool and rooted, everything working fine! And best of all: THERE IS NO ECHO ANYMORE WHEN CALLING :victory: :victory:

Finally I can use my phone as a phone... :silly:
[Xperia Z2 General] zadusimple:
Hi as I am new to Sony device can anyone suggest me If I need to wipe data before flashing?
[Xperia Z2 General] hush66:
No need to wipe data before flashing. While you are using Flashtool to flash the firmware file, remember to untick the Wipe Data option.

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

Yes, you will. After root, you have to install dual recovery again.

How do I do a FULL WIPE FLASH (Data and SDCARD) with Flashtool? Which must be included and excluded?
[Xperia Z2 General] LenAsh:
Do it on the phone first.
[Xperia Z2 General] JackHanAnLG:
Sorry to sound nooby but can I flash this on my unlocked UK model? :p
[Xperia Z2 General] LenAsh:
Yep, I have

The German one has less bloat to remove. But this one has 2 imgs less so you don't have to exclude them when flashing.

I want to do a full wipe with Flashtool, not the phone. Which of the EXCLUDE and MISC box need to be ticked?

Can I flash D6503 firmware on D6502?
[Xperia Z2 General] Batfink33:
Sorry for another noob question, but if I have an unlocked bootloader with doom kernel, I can just do a full FTF flash with the flash tool and I'll be OK? I don't have to flash the stock kernel first?
[Xperia Z2 General] LenAsh:
No, just flash the ftf. BL will remain unlocked, everything else will be stock.
[Xperia Z2 General] Batfink33:
OK, that's great thanks. Not sure whether the small ROM upgrade is worth not having the customization in doom kernel.

Hello,

I am developing an app and I am trying to use the SDB to send and receive messages when connected by USB to a linux computer. It would be a widget application that would ideally access the SDB by javascript (or some other method) to both send and receive events/messages from the linux box. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,

Hello everyone!

My favorite custom rom has been updated and the guy who created it also posted the updated firmware/modem, G900FDXU1ANG1. I tried to flash it using Odin Mobile but it didn't worked, baseband version is not changed. His tutorial says to flash it using Odin PC but I don't have a PC here, so I'm asking if I can flash the firmware/modem using Odin Mobile. Thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fronzinator:
So my phone worked just fine with CM11.

Now I got a One+ One and I wanted to give my Nexus to my parents.

It worked fine with the new sim but then I did a full wipe (factory reset + all data on sd) with TWRP.

When I boot up now I don't get asked for a pin code and there is nothing in the statusbar like "no sim inserted"

I'm really confused as it worked perfect and now it doesn't anymore :(

EDIT:

Every network related action such as dialer,... stops when I try to use it. When I try to watch the system information for phone number and so on, the proces settings stops :(

Flash a factory image to it. Should fix problems easily and give a nice new fresh zippy feel to the phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
I've been looking at the m8 for awhile now and was wondering how the build quality has been. Any issues?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thunderbls:
I have heard some people voice concern over the volume rocker being loose, small gaps between speaker grill and screen or (in my case) it being slight raise in one corner. My issue with the screen is only something I notice if I run my finger over it slowly and if I point it out to someone I get a chuckle and a head shake lol. Build quality in my experience with every m8 I have seen with the exception of one has been great IMO. The poorly built m8 i did see the rep wouldnt sell it and took it back with out being ask which was nice. Sometimes I will get tiny pieces of lint in the speaker grill but its easy to remove with tape.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
Camera has a strange film on it that scratches very easily. Easily fixed by using an abrasive to buff it out like toothpaste or a Mr clean magic eraser. Annoying nonetheless.

Besides that it's great.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Is it gorilla or sapphire glass?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
No, it's just a coating, it's probably just regular glass.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thunderbls:
Do you have a case of some kind on your device if so which one? I only ask because I have yet to scratch mine in almost 4 months. I run naked or with a very thin beaus clear case.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
Yes, it's a supcase with a clear back, scratched up very badly just from being in my pocket. Also my duo camera and front camera kind of got really foggy, so my pictures came out all blurry. I had nothing else in my pocket and always took good care of it.

You might have a good model then. But once I had one scratch the rest came fairly quickly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
I happened to have taken mine with me on a jetski once by mistake and the results of it gave my phone a wiggly power button (i think, might have already been there) but other than that I've seen little to no faults in it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Sorry for another question but I gotta ask about signal strength compared to say moto or LG. I went from a droid razr to a G2 last November and have seen some variance in signal.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Build quality for me is nice. I don't have the volume wiggle buttons problem. I will say some times lint from your pockets gets in the speaker grill but taking a cleaning cloth and wipe over the holes does it for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thunderbls:
I'm sorry to hear that.. man that sucks. If it makes you feel any better I have a dead pixle that just popped up today. :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
Haha, thanks for the sympathy.

I think a dead pixel might be worse, after you scratch away that film the camera is good as new. Dead pixel all you can do is replace the screen. My camera is great now.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Is it dead or just stuck? Had it happen on my nexus 10 and dead pixel fixer took care of it in 15 minutes.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thunderbls:
Sadly not just stuck...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Thanks to all who responded. I finally took the plunge and picked up the m8 and I've been very impressed so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thunderbls:
Glad to hear great choice IMHO : )
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluerider:
Hi Guys,

Several weeks ago my proximity sensor stopped working, this occur at about the same time I replaced my front glass on my S4 mini i9195, so my first thought was that the problem was some error I made.

I bought a new one, replace it and the issue still continued, and it is a very annoying one, since every time I made a phone call the screen shuts down, and at the end of the phone call, I had to ask other people to hang up, or if I was unfortunate and the call wen´t to voice mail, I had to pull of the battery before my money runned out. :crying:

So I wen´t "on the line" and found several methods that I want to share with you:

Method 1.

Blow Air it will solve your prob hopefully.(DID NOT WORK FOR ME)

Method 2.(DID NOT WORKED FOR ME)

go to samsung code *#0*#. then SENSORS and Read your Proximity sensor values.

<<< DECISION >>>>>

####Calibration is not needed if ####

.

your phone doesnt vibrate in normal but does so when u physically put your finger on the Sensor.

#### Calibration needed if ####

.

your phone is vibrating in this menu no matter what, you put your finger on the sensor or not

Follow these steps

1. download Android Terminal from store

2. type these commands to calibrate automatically

$ su

# echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

# echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

Reboot and see if it works.go to *#0*# and check if it continuously vibrating or only does so when you put your finger on the SENSOR.

<<<< IF Continuously Vibrating Follow these steps>>>>

you need to manually put values in ur /efs/prox_cal.it Reads Hexadecimal value. so you have to convert your decimal values into HEX.

##### FIND YOUR Decimal Values and pushing them into /efs/prox_cal ######

(THIS FINALLY WORKED)

Method : finding two values for calibration . offset + normal value.

##.. FINDING OFFSET ######

cat /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

note down the values it returns.. mine is 5,64,100.. you only need the 1st value which is 5.

### FINDING NORMAL STATE ######

cat /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/state

note down the value if returns. mine is 40

now ADD OFFSET value + Normal Value

5 + 40 = 45

Convert in Hexadecimal which is 2D

<<<<<<<<<<< Pushing the value in /efs/prox_cal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

#su

# echo -en $ '\x2D' > /efs/prox_cal

then

# chown system:system /efs/prox_cal

# chmod 644 /efs/prox_cal

# sync

# Reboot

All done. after that go to *#0*# then SENSORS and move your finger on the sensor, yout phone will Vibrate only when you put your finger on the sensors.

Since I have CM 11 the *#0*# didn´t worked, but I installed proximity sensor finder from the playstore.

Hope this is useful to someone.

Best regards.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] courtlandj:
Has anyone noticed that, for all its pixel density, there is some really poor-looking emphasis on edges? Lots of places throughout the stock UI, fonts, icons, etc, will have their edges brighter than the rest of the object. What's more is this is not uniformly applied, so you wind up with some words or icons having this edge detection going on, and in other places, things look properly "flat".

Frankly it makes this "beautiful" screen look really ugly, since the UI it displays looks really ugly.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slash8915:
You may be talking about the over sharpening issue that's been discussed to death on these forums. Hopefully LG fixes it with an OTA update, or we get it fixed with ROMS.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] courtlandj:
Hoping for an OTA fix is a pipe dream. LG will not fix this since they will consider that they put a lot of hard work in to over sharpen their UI. Not your UI, their UI, for their phone. Not your phone. So that will never get fixed.

That, combined with the hilarious decision to put the buttons on the back, which no software can address, just kind of leaves some glaring issues. Issues? No, too soft a word. Let's just call them what they are. Errors. Errors in judgment, errors in design, whatever. They got it wrong.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] americasteam:
Glad you like it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximoMark:
You knew the buttons were on the back before you bought it so the error is yours if you find there placement an issue.

I think the screen is fantastic and don't have the problem you speak of.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
Lol, buying a device with buttons on the back...just to come on xda and complain about buttons on the back? Okie

As far as the screen sharpness, they do need to address it somehow because black text are indeed awful (not to the point i will complain about them awful though)

Should have done your homework before buying a device that OBVIOUSLY came with buttons on the back though...considering it was flashed all over the internet so you cannot say "oh i bought it and realized buttons were on the back" lol
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] courtlandj:
You have it, it just doesn't bother you. Good for you, my eyes are pretty sharp though and don't need LG's help in that regard. Button placement? Sure. Sure I knew that beforehand. That does not mean it's my error. It's still LG's error. See, I can't really use this thing before I purchase it. They have display models in stores, but the backs (and often the sides) are covered in whatever anti-theft anchoring the store uses. It's not until I get the device home, have it in my pocket, that these usability errors can really make themselves felt. It didn't bother me while the device was in my hand, I thought, well, maybe I will just learn, in time, where my fingers should go. Fine.

But then, and imagine this scenario as being one I cannot replicate in a store with a demo model, the phone was laying face side up on my desk, and I wanted to turn the volume down. Or I wanted to turn the screen off. I can do that without picking the phone up with just about all other phones in the world. Inconvenient. This is a small issue! This is not a big deal. But. But I paid $600 for this, I am not supposed to have to put up with some minor inconvenience, is how I see it. For their flagship phone, the top of LG's current heap, they shouldn't have got any "small issues" wrong. But they did. They got this wrong. And while people replying to this thread seem to want to forgive LG, and that is your prerogative, I refuse to do so.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximoMark:
Doesn't your phone have knock code to switch the screen off? Or have volume controls in the notification area?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] courtlandj:
Anyway, the screen looks terrible and the big beautiful screen is the biggest selling point (or am I wrong on this? some argue camera...).

I wouldn't return the phone because the buttons were on the back and yes, "lol", I knew they were there before, during, and after purchasing it.

The big beautiful screen turning out to be not very beautiful, now that, that I could return a phone over. There's not even an option to disable the over-sharpening. Tell me that is not a design failure.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
Why is this thread even in existence? This topic been covered elsewhere and not to mention the rest of the post are off topic.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] courtlandj:
Not in terms of the screen looking not very great.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
You mean the sharpening?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougsomegraves:
I have found that the stock theme/wallpapers/icons etc don't do the device any favors. Tweaking these things made the phone much more tolerable for me.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] courtlandj:
Including but not limited to. Sharpening is an issue, but since you cannot disable it, and since it is not by default enabled across all text rendering, not in all apps, etc, it's not uniform. The UI winds up non uniform. The entire graphical feel of it seems mixed and weird. So it made me feel like the display itself was not that great. I actually wondered if there was something physically wrong with my screen. Or, since it was not a uniform problem, was it only one part of the screen that was perhaps damaged or something.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tectas:
First, to your last post, the hardware buttons no software can address?

Tweaksbox can, they are hardware buttons like all others, it doesn't matter where they are on the device.

Turning the device off while flat on the table? Double tab the statusbar (yes, works with every launcher and in any app).

Sound: volume slider within notifications?!

If it's that much of an issue for you, swap it, simple as that, i do like having the buttons on the back, why? I can't press them by accident while gaming and i love the feel of having just the edges while in hand.

Last but not least, the oversharpening is your point, i don't really notice it and really like the screen, but that doesn't matter, that's just me, but anyways I'm pretty sure there will come an update for it, if not, that's xda, the bootloader unlock is almost released, there will be a fix for that, because, you know what, it's our device and we can mod the hell out of it if we like to. Every flagship has it's flaws, there isn't any perfect device on the market, if those of this device bug you too much, swap it for another, maybe those flaws you can stand.

Buttons on the back is not an ERROR its lg DESIGN go to the lg 2 you will see, it wasn't thought over night...do not place your dislike on lg "error"

over sharpness been talked to death as it is. I never understand why people complain, don't like something return it. Its that much of an issue? return it. since I have gotten the phone I have only touched the volume keys for one, and only one thing....to take screen shot. Knock on puts the phone on for me, a simple double tap. If I want to be fancy, I can use the knock code or w.e the hell they call it. I only need my volume on two things, silent, vibration and sound...if its too loud notification is there to reduce it or voila...the buttons on the back a simple press will fix it.I do not need to move my hand in any weird kind of a way to do anything, I do not accidently have to press on the volume keys like i have done so many times.

The screen is beautiful without auto brightness. The oversharpness is batter of taste...you will either like it or you will hate it. You obviously hate it so very simple, return the phone instead of beating on the same dead horse. The screen is awful? we knoooooooooooooooooow from xda and all over the net and all over google + and every social media....the text are sharp? we knoooooooooooooooooooow...go return the phone.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] courtlandj:
I feel that it is an error.

You are complaining about my complaints. I never understand why people complain about other people complaining. Don't like my complaint, ignore it. It's that much of an issue? Close your browser. :silly:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meatlocker:
And with that, reported. We don't need another repetitive, argumentative thread that goes nowhere.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
Than get rid of the error and return the phone :) like you said, no custom rom will fix that itch for you. Stop being a statistic of the list of people beating on the same dead horse.

Good luck on your future ventures :) I HOPE you do far more research on your next phone hunt huh? You rarely post in this forum as it is according to your junior status, member of 2011. Let hope the next post you choose to do about that phone wont result in something like this :)

Hi,

I have bought an Imate Jamin in Dubai, and with North African Sim Cards the telephone works.

I live in France, when putting a franch Sim Card, it reads "Invalid or Missing Sim Card", the same occurs when I put an English Sim Card.

Could anyone helps. I am always on the move with work, and therefore having such a mobile without the possibility to put any Sim Cards in, becomes tidious. Any Advice once again?

Finally, does a multi-Sim Card slot exist on the market for such a mobile?

Thanks for your help.

Hello! I am a newbie to android development and want to study developing android applications. I found 2 best sites where you can easily study coding. :)

One of them is Codelearner. It is in simple language made for newbies. You don't want to sign up for studying from there. Another one is Codeschool. It is very great too. You can study Ruby, Java, HTML/CSS and IOS. If you become premium member you can access more courses but a regular account is enough for studying android developing(coding) and IOS(If you want). Great for developing good apps.

There is an android apk which can also give some basic info but you have to go through it and you have to self study. The app is AIDE. It is mainly build for developing apps( Android IDE ) but you can study some basics too. When you open the app, you can see some app names for studying, you can start with making Hello World! app. When you make go to whole files and study the content. If you didn't understand any command, just search it in google or post here.

I believe I helped you. Please spread the sites and app to all. :o :)
