Well I'm old fan of HTC devices i have used wildfire s, one v, One X i liked them so much so i told my self why don't you give Samsung S3 a try bought one s3 Verizon it was great but it felt cheap in my hand with there plastic cover i had to go back to HTC bought HTC One M7 the worst idea ever had too many factory defects exchange it 3 times with a new one but they had camera sensor defect so i guess if you are going to buy HTC brother think twice M7 or M8 they are using the same camera sensors even if it has no issues from the beginning with camera be aware after 6 month you will have pink reddish Tint in nigh shots or dark places.. so be careful HTC not that good anymore.. so go for the LG

cheers ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ardom:
Yeah if only not because of the Pink Tinting of the Camera. HTC is really a solid choice. Premium build quality and it is undeniably a very beautiful phone, IMHO HTC M7 looks better than M8. And another good thing about HTC lately is they are one of those OEMs who makes it to their software update promises. And about LG. I got to test myself the LG G3 the dark gray one, I was actually impressed, LG has greatly improved but on the software side they kinda lag out on updates but I believe they'll be changing their perspective on that. Samsung Note 3 is a lovely phone with impressive battery life, I also like the leather like back case because I am born with sweaty hands and of all the smartphones I had, this was the one I was worrying less of having smudges at the back. Though I hate the chrome linings they kinda fade out easily, though that's partly my fault because I am a No-case guy eversince I got my 3rd smartphone which was a iPhone5 (the only IOS phone I owned). I like to see the full beauty of my phone, but in return I should he ready for random fading of the chrome frame. And I agree with the previous poster. No more Note 4 for me too because of Knox. Knox should have been optional, more of a business package, not for normal users like me.

My next phone probably next year would be from HTC/LG/Sony. I hate to leave samsung but Knox's trouble outweighs its benefits for me. The last time I checked SAMSUNG IS still ANDROID not IOS so why mimic Apple

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanley08:

Actually, the call quality thing is clearly software. On Stock ROM, people were always complaining that they couldn't hear me. But on CM 11. 0 complaints. Not 1. I didn't try .314 ROM. But I think changelog suggests it's fixed. :)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gyrotize:
Okay so I have just updated my phone yesterday as I got a notification saying there was an update to 4.4.4 so I downloaded it and installed it and now the phone is stuck in a boot loop, is there any possible way that you can make simple for me as I am new to rooting and flashing phones, this was my first ever time.

Thanks for any help or advice in advance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay so after doing a couple days research and listening to you guys, I found out when I rooted I didn't flash a recovery... So yeah I installed CWM recovery and then wiped cashe partision and it worked. When I wiped it, it came up saying to "fix root" as I may have lost in then I clicked yes then booted straight away. That's it fixed now.

Thank you for your help everyone!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeetu:
Go to recovery and wipe data and wipe cache hope it works, :)

Good luck :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gyrotize:
I can't even get in recovery mode...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedlor:
When the phone is rebooting, press and hold power down, you'll then get into Fastboot. From there, go to Recovery using the volume down key and when selected, press the volume up to select. If it tries to install the update again, don't let it reboot into the ROM - when the recovery restarts itself, make sure you hold volume down again.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gyrotize:
It doesn't work it just keeps rebooting and coming up with the "bootloader unlocked" screen after itself
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buggerlugz:
1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL UP + VOL DOWN KEY together + POWER KEY .

2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS

3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to SELECT

Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.

4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)

5. Press and hold the VOL DOWN key, then tap and release the VOL UP key.

Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 5, try a force reboot by pressing the power Key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.

6. The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)

7. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to wipe cache partition and the POWER Key to SELECT this option.

8. The device will then perform the partition wipe

9. Once the Formatting is complete, press the POWER key to confirm a REBOOT

11. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence .

worked for me.....

Still none the wiser how to update to 4.4.4 though! :) I mean surely with a rooted phone there is an app to do it these days???
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mt021322:
u can try this

if you have unlock bootloader and can go to fastboot mode,.try to flash your moto g using your 4.4.2 stock rom by manually (you can search how to do it),.flash partition gpt and motoboot (ignore the error),reboot bootloader and finished the rest command..flash phil touch recovery and reboot ro recovery,go to install zip,choose install zip from sideload then send your phone update using sideload command.

that"s solved my problems when i'm getting stuck on blank screen after unlock bootloader warning or only booting to recovery,i'm on 4.4.2 when get that error.

but now in my case,i should go to fastboot mode and choose normal powerup to make my phone booting normally,.because if i'm power on using power button,moto g booting to recovery,not a big deal for me as long as my phone back to the track hehehe

my moto g is o2 germany,but i'm flashing with 4.4.2 germany retail and 4.4.4 update for germany retail.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gyrotize:
Okay so I get to step 3 and it reboots. It shows the "bootlocker unlocked" then it shows it again then goes onto the normal Moto G boot screen with the logo and is still bootlocked.. HALP
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gyrotize:
Okay so I have been researching for a little while now and I found this video on youtube, could you please tell me if this will work?

Thanks you.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mt021322:
that's mean you can't access your stock recovery...try to flash your stock rom moto g 4.4.2 then install philz,use sideload to install the update file.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gyrotize:
It looks as if it will boot into recovery, then the screen goes black then goes into the normal boot screen then boots....

[HTC ChaCha] Yehia2amer:
Keyboard layouts Fix in settings app

How to use:

1. This requires Android 4.1 (API level 16) or later, it was tested on a Chacha

2. In Settings you will find "Language & input" settings. It should have its own section

"PHYSICAL KEYBOARD" between "KEYBOARD & INPUT METHODS" and "SPEECH" .

3. Pick your keyboard from the settings, pick "Set up keyboard layouts" and you should see "Arabic" & "English"

listed with the comment "yehia's Extra Layouts" choose them both.

4. Now you can switch between both keyboards using "Lng." key

4. Let me know if anything don't work.

FAQ:

What are the Supported Roms ?

this app works only on Jelly bean and up (4.1+)

do i need this app ?

if you are arabic user and need to easily switch between Arabic & English keyboard, this app is for you ;)

My Lng. key don't work, what can i do ?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshumangoyal:
I am running CM-11 Stable version, which means I am rooted as well as custom recovery. If I update my ROM, will I loose any of my application's data?

e.g. if I upgrade to CM-11 Nightly, will be there any loss of data. Or if I want to install some different ROM's will there be any loss of data.

Is it possible to switch back to Stock ROM (Rooted) without loss of data.

Actually managing phone's data is big pain once you reinstall whole OS, So I am really doubtful here.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
Do you mean with data your storage or your apps, settings? If you install a new rom you always need to wipe data (that is not your internal storage). If you update you only need to wipe cache and dalvik. You can backup apps easily with titanium backup for example
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You should always nandroid backup before flashing roms and always keep a local copy of a titaniun backup.

Flashing custom roms dont wipe data. However, you may have to wipe data yourself to get it to boot.

Rule of thumb is:

Upgrading to a new version of the SAME custom ROM, no need to wipe. If you then find something doesnt work, wipe

Changing to a NEW rom, wipe.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MegaRodeon:
I have rooted my Xperia Z. I tried to apply custom font through iFont (Segoe UI, basically what I did was copying the font from Windows 8.1, to phone's internal storage, Xperia Z\Internal Storage\ifont\custom), I opened the app, tapped on the font and then applied it. Since the next step is to reboot the phone, I did so. The phone is now in a bootloop state, it shows the SONY logo, then XPERIA, then the colorful wave. During the wave, it lasts no longer than 1 second, the wave animation always gets stuck halfway across the screen, then goes back to SONY logo, XPERIA logo, the wave and repeats the boot.

I have tried some of the methods such as booting the phone into Recovery Mode. I was told to power off the phone, start it, then when pink LED lights up I have to quickly press Volume Up multiple times until the screen shows the Android logo (which is the green robot). The situation my phone in isn't quite like the expected; since it's in bootloop state, I have to force restart it (by holding Power button + Volume up and wait for a vibration), quickly pressed volume up several times. However, the LED only lights up blue color (not flashing), the screen stays black and nothing seems to be happening until a force restart is initiated.

Right now I don't think flashing ROMs or restore phone to factory setting are the solutions for me because I only started using this Xperia Z recently and didn't make a backup (who knew it'd be so fast that I literally killed it).

By the way, is there a possible way to access files during the blue LED part?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] redrum781:
I've successfully built boot and recovery images, packed the zip for flashing in recovery but there is a problem with the boot.img.

I'm trying to find out why it doesn't boot (the phone stays at the galaxy logo)

The actual guide for porting misses some stuff and there are errors here and there. Besides, there is a problem with the trusty chroot, quantal is working.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] astronfestmon:
Aye. I've notice that.

I'm fixing some issues in quantal chroot.

E.g. inside the sources.list I add the 12.04 lts mirrors. Made by a website with the sources.list for 12.04 lts mirrors.

Yeah. I've done the boot kernel image and it made the same as you.

But with meld diff I've compared the i9305 defconfig with mine i9300 defconfig.

I'm going to test it with the changes meld diff made with a comparison with i9305 defconfig.

Now I made a make systemtarball and I'll try a make bootimage or a make factory_image for it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] redrum781:
It would be great if you could make it to boot.

I will try to compile the kernel with CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=tty0" . I'm hoping that would direct kernel panic message to the screen so we could idenfity what the problem is with booting hybris-boot.img

Hi, I've also been trying to port sailfish os to i9300. I've been successful in creating an image that works, i.e. got it to boot into sailfish but there are some issues that I haven't been able to fix, like for instances, the wlan is detected but fails to establish a connection with any network, GSM is also not working. A full list with details can be found here https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris

Maybe we should try to work together to get a fully functional sailfish os image

Cheers

---------- Post added 19th August 2014 at 12:01 AM ---------- Previous post was 18th August 2014 at 11:12 PM ----------

The phone may be stuck at the galaxy logo, but there's a way to debug to find out what's wrong, follow this steps (only tested on linux):

1) connect your phone with the computer, the initramfs in boot.img will create a network interface (phone's ip is: 192.168.2.15) and enable a telnet deamon (default port: 23) and also a udhcp server, so luckily the computer will ask for an ip that everything will be set up automatically. If not try configuring static ip (192.168.2.20 and adding a route to 192.168.2.0)

2) telnet 192.168.2.15

3) when you're in the telnet session, you can check /diagnostic.log (i think) it will show why the boot failed. It is possible to execute commands into the init, by writing to (/init-ctl/stdin)

When logged into the telnet session it will dump a bit of information, be sure to read it as is useful ;).

Also check HADK 9.2 Operating Blind on an Existing Device

PS: the files may contain mistakes as I wrote this post without checking for the correct names (I don't have sailfish flashed at the moment).

Also consider visiting the IRC channel (#sailfishos-porters), if you're not doing it already

Hope it helps :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MaxAndroided:
Will this os improve our device? Whats the pro and the con for a change (if it works finaly)?[emoji4]
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rusty88:
well maxAndroided all I can say at the moment is that the OS looks very promising... the UI is very smooth. Is another approach to mobile interaction based on gestures. I'm really loving it, sadly I can used it for day to day activities yet.

The jolla phone at the moment is able to run android apps and hopefully soon that will be available for any image built for android phones. So what that means is that if you don't find a suitable native app for sailfish os, you can always run your favorite android app in sailfish os :)

Anyone that wants to help bring sailfish os to i9300 is welcome to help, so if you have any idea on how to debug and fix the issues let me know :)

PS: if any one would like to try it, take a look at my previous post here
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] msri3here:
[MENTION=5955102]rusty88[/MENTION], I am no developer/expert, but is there any way we can try and use I9300 native libraries or binaries to make GSM (or some other functionality for that matter) work? maybe RIL libs/binaries for GSM?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rusty88:
yes [MENTION=2890408]msri3here[/MENTION] technically that is what i'm doing, its using RIL lib based on cm10.1.3 that was working fine before I flash sailfish, but on sailfish the log that RIL daemon dumps is really a mess and haven't figure out why is failing. One thing that I've notice is that RILD (one of its child process) creates the socket at /dev/socket/rild but it's killed afterwards, the sockets disappear and the process restarts all over again

Stracing RILD is not helping either as it seems that everything is Ok.

I'm trying to buy a new smartphone for day to day use so I can dedicate more time to debug on my i9300.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] skyler13:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rusty88:
Hmm it shouldn't be stuck... but if the capacitive buttons responds there's still hope.

If you want to give me feedback, you can plug the cellphone to the pc, do a telnet to 192.168.2.15 (that's the phone's IP). after you're logged in into telnet, you can read the log in /diagnostic.log or something like that (don't remember the exact name) and paste the output of that file here.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] skyler13:
