[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elliander:
I would like to Flash my Verizon branded Xperia Z2 Tablet to an official Sony Firmware for another region. Will that be treated as an "update", leaving the DRM keys intact? Or will that result in a loss of DRM keys?

I read about a procedure here:

http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/04/01/debrand-your-xperia-z-tutorial/

Unfortunately, I am unable to backup my TA partition. "Backup TA" doesn't work with my version.

EDIT: And will this tool work with the z2 Tablet? I know the guide is written for a Z2 Phone. And where can I find a recent TFT image in English which will work with the device?

Here is a link to a WiFi Tether app that works very well with the LG G3. It is not a free app but well worth the $2.50 if you are like me and just can't stand the hassle of rebooting and re-entering a password each time. I have had zero issues with connecting or re-connecting.

Go to Opendns.com. They have very specific instructions on what to do and what it is. This should give you a nice speed bump immediately since for some reason the DNS servers that Cingular uses are pretty slow. I am assuming you have Cingular here, if not, your mileage may vary.

[General Accessories] djscopesofm:
Awesome review, mate!
[General Accessories] zan5hin:
Thanks for this review. On the basis of this and a few other reviews, I have ordered one. I was looking at the E18 but I will be using it primarily for my laptop and it is half the price, so there you go.

However, I did see some comments on another review that suggested you could use this with an Android phone by installing Viper4Android, and using a USB Hub and an external battery pack. I already have a decent sized external battery, just wondering if anyone has used the E10K in this manner yet?
[General Accessories] vectron:
V4A is not necessary to use it, as long as your phone supports OTG. Connecting it directly to phone will not work because it needs extra power, thus a requirement for usb hub cable. It was confirmed on Head-fi, actually by almighty ClieOS himself ;) I got that usb power cable, it was a few bucks from ebay, but completely forgot about it. To be honest, it's a bit of an overkill to use E10k, extra usb power cables, and external battery together with your phone. Just too much and too bulky. Instead I would suggest getting this $30 HiFimeDIY otg dac I reviewed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2758213 and picking up E11k or E12A headphones amp. No need for extra power cables, external supply, and you will get a top class sound! Leave E10k as usb sound card - that's what it best at!
[General Accessories] zan5hin:
Thanks for the reply. If I could I would purchase the HiFimeDIY but I am living in Manila, Philippines and the hassle I went through to get a package shipped recently makes it a real headache to rely on the postal service here, even just from HKG to Manila.

I can't specifically see where ClieOS confirmed it, just
[General Accessories] easyriider:
I have gotten it today and connected it with an OTG cable to my Nexus 10. It gives a perfect sound on a DT 770 Pro 80.

The Nexus 10 gives enough power for the DAC, there is no need for an usb hub.
[General Accessories] harkirat01:
I plan to buy this DAC and use it primarily with my HTC One M7 and Klipsch R6 in ear headphones. Currently the sound quality is pretty damn impressive but I just wanted to understand how much of a difference would this external DAC bring to the overall sound quality? Would it be a noticeable difference with tighter bass and a slightly wider and open sound stage?

Thanks in advance.
[General Accessories] vectron:
E10k doesn't work with a smartphone unless you figure out a splitter with external battery connection. With Tablet, it's hit'n'miss because you need extra power to drive it.

Considering advances in the latest smartphones, their sound quality went up significantly, and small usb DAC might not improve it that much. But if you are using high impedance headphones and need extra driving power, that's where you might find advantage of these devices.

R7 is 18 ohm in-ear headphones with an average sensitivity. We are not talking about 600 ohm Senns cans :) You don't need usb dac.
[General Accessories] harkirat01:
Just what I wanted to understand. Thanks a lot. :)

Hello, i'm new in this Forum.

I searched for an Answer to following Question, but haven't found anything:

In a previous attempt to SIM-unlock my Wizard, i tried a ROM from the Hermes unlocker. When i was prompted to where i wanted to install it, i picked "Storage Card". When i rebooted the Device, it had my actual Storage Card renamed as "Storage Card2" and the ROM is now called "Storage Card".

I can't delete it, and i cant rename the actual storage card. Now all my Apps that i had installed on the "Storage Card" are not working.

MY QUESTION: How can i delete this ROM, so that i can use my installed Software again?

Thanks in advance!

[General Accessories] МІР:
In the typical usage scenario of a phone, sd card failure due to mechanical stresses is not a common problem.

Most sd card failures come from power losses (e.g. on non battery operated devices) and flash wear due to

excessive

writing.
[General Accessories] mojito13:
Seeing as they're incredibly small, they are prone to some problems if you're not gentle with them. Getting a quality brand and decent class/speed certainly helps as well. Sandisk and Transcend have always been my go-to brands.
[General Accessories] Jackos:
Sandisk is very prone to cardreader firmwares and excessive writes. To make things worse, their latest series UHS-I 64GB has some manufacturing defects and those cards are returning bricked like crazy. At least here in Poland, but I have heard Germany is also affected.

I was doing a lot of synchronization on those cards (a lot of reads and writes) and I had 3 of those Sandisk UHS-I cards returned after I got my money back. Now I got a Kingston one and after months of writing, writing and even more writing it still works flawlessly.

Maybe I'm just unlucky with Sandisk. Who knows.
[General Accessories] mojito13:
Fair enough. I've also used Kingston in the past and never had problems, so to make a long story short - there are a lot of quality storage options out there. Some tend to work for people and some don't. Either way, I try and keep my microSD and SD cards on the smaller size. I hear a lot of complaints about high-capacity cards having problems. I know for my digital camera and GoPro, I don't ever buy above 16GB because the image quality degrades as you get towards the end of a full card. Perhaps the same thing goes on when you're using it in tablets, phones, etc too but not completely sure.

Is there a way to get around this to make it work on Verizon Wireless? I've tried adding verizon's APN settings under "New APN" but that didnt work. Im also root friendly so if the hack or workaround requires root, throw it out there! Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
It's helpful to do a forum search before posting. It often finds you an immediate answer and inevitably puts you in a position to pose better informed questions. There are a lot of threads where this question has been asked and answered.

Short answer, you could obtain the SIM you need from Ebay or Amazon, mail order or perhaps a colleague at work or neighbour. A regular SIM unlock code will probably remove the region lock as well. Or with a rooted phone, you can edit the region lock blacklist to effectively circumvent it. Further details and elaboration in the forum. Or search my post history as I've posted about this at length before.

Since I started working full time in my new career I haven't had time to keep up with the changes. Can I get someone in the know to help me out with this?

I remember reading that KitKat was known to have data issues. I have the following:

T-Mobile model SM-N900T

4.4.2

N900TUVUCNB4

custom kernel: 3.4.84-leanKrnerl-hlte-2.2 (don't remember name, got it here)

stock rom modified

Problem is every once in a while I lose data connection even though it shows a 4G icon and several bars of service. I even had T-Mobile send me the signal booster, which is installed at my home and seems to be working, but same issue continues to happen. And if I turn on WiFi at that point, WiFi connects, but 4G icon doesn't go away, and I stay without data access even though I'm supposedly connected to WiFi.

As you can imagine, this is annoying. It happens at least once a day, sometimes multiple times. Then it goes back to normal.

I don't have the time to update fully to a new rom with new firmware and have to reinstall everything. Is there new modem/radio/firmware/kernel I can install over my existing installation and expect to see this issue go away? Or am I stuck with this until I change phones?

Thanks for your patience and helping me out with this.

I too had network issues. My 4G would slow to a crawl or would become non responsive. It would take a reboot or airplane mode toggle to make 4G work for about an hour before it goes bad again.

I updated to the latest NF4 firmware and it has been running for the past 48 hours with no issues.

Speed is not much of an improvement. I get around 30mbps /22mbps in NYC. But data stability has increased to a great extent. I do get the occasional hiccups with data , but it resolves itself in about 10-15 seconds.
