[Sony Xperia M] Trppmdm:
Never dropped my phone on the asphalt, never on rocks, probably some 5-10 cm drops on wood, a couple of drops from the bed onto the carpet. The thing that I always love to do is throw it like a frisbee onto the couch or bed :) Had 2 bad drops onto carpet that way, but I have NEVER dropped it face down. I have used both a case and screen protector, but I feel that they are just a waste of money(that's if you don't have fingers made of butter). Using a screen protector is recommended, but really, it's like using a condom.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Since when is missing FM-radio support a bug? Android has never and probably will never support FM radio receivers, the manufacturers did some deep and partially ugly hacks in the code to get it working. You can get (most) FM-capable devices working with the SpiritFM paid-for application.

By the way; no this device does not have FM support. FM more or less died some time ago on flagships.

come on now you meant to tell me you have not read up anything on this phone. There are a million threads on xda or oneplus.net itself. Check youtube for videos if you like but I think your question was not one that needed to be asked especially with all the info out there for this phone. No disrespect but honestly info for this phone is saturated over the web.. Google Plus is also a great place
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Could listen to FM radio using TuneIn..... but honestly, are FM radio that popular now with cloud services such as Spotify and Pandora? You get more access to what you listen to plus you don't have to listen to the same song 5 times in one hour.

Tie that together with T-Mobile unlimited music, Spotify/Pandora is even more addicting.

[HTC Sensation] dedo.93:
Hi guys,

I've finally bought a MirrorLink enabled car radio, with a 6.5" touch display and many cool features.

As the HTC Sensation is not anymore my primary phone (got an Xperia Z now), i would like to use it in my car trough MirrorLink.

I would like to know which rom should i use that have the MirrorLink feature.

Any suggestions?

I also find out this application which seems to be more or less what i'm looking for: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/digital-car-android-tablet-t2834750

Thanks guys ;)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] liquidquick:
so, bit the bullet and bought a logitech pro keyboard on sale for 100 bucks at best buy. overall, i'm not impressed by it, and will be returning it for a refund.

the case itself is adequate for the job, though somewhat annoying to use. it fits the tablet, although its not as sturdy as i'd like. when opening the case, its very easy for the device to pop out of the tabs. closing the cover, the ends don't quite align up with each other and it takes a few moments of fiddling with them to get them properly seated together. despite the presence of magnets, the device doesn't turn off when the cover is closed. even though there are little rubber pads toward the end, even a little pressure will push the device into the keys. since i keep my tablet in a backpack most of the time, i'm worried that this will cause damage over time to the device. a possible work around would be to fit a piece of felt between the device and the keys before closing the case.

the keys themselves feel solid, and the typing experience is good. response time and key spacing are fine. didn't have any trouble pairing the device.

there are two main reasons why i'm returning it. first, the macro keys that let you pull up the browser, email, etc. cannot be customized. want them to map to different apps? tough noogies. they gave me the runaround at logitech support on this, until ultimately admitting there's no official way to fix the issue. (there's some process involving rooting, freezing, blah blahbity blah that doesn't work for everyone... no thanks.)

second, when using the keyboard, a semi-transparent black bar appears along the bottom of the screen that covers whatever is already there and makes that area of the screen untappable. so things like the task manager and close all apps are unusable since this bar covers them. i've included a pic, though it may be a bit hard to see it. you can get rid of it by hitting the back button, but every time you touch another key it comes back. turn the keyboard off and the bar goes away... turn it back on, and the bar comes back as soon as you hit a key. this problem is the deal-breaker for me. changing launchers didn't fix the problem, happens in both touch wiz and nova. since i haven't seen any mention of this problem before, i don't know if its a one-off thing just affecting me or if others have this problem as well.

bummer.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] treetopsranch:
Very sorry you are having problems with that keyboard. I use it and am very happy with it. No fit problem here. Haven't had any problems with tablet coming out of the case either. That black bar problem looks like a defective keyboard maybe. Try to return it to Best Buy. I don't know of any keyboard that has programmable keys for this tablet. Maybe a standalone Bluetooth keyboard might have this capability but then you would not have that protective case that the Logitech has.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] muzzy996:
With regards to the black bar issue, out of curiosity are you using a custom software keyboard for on-screen keyboard use?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] ShadowLea:
That black bar looks like the type-suggestions bar... check your settings, specifically the settings --> controls --> language & input --> keyboard&input methods --> Default --> turn off the 'use on-screen keyboard' toggle.

And if you're using a third party keyaboard (that isn't swiftkey), check the settings, there might be a setting for suggestions with keyboards.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] liquidquick:
ended up returning it. now i'm looking at the amazon basics blue tooth keyboard (cheap!) and the samsung cover keyboard (not cheap!) honestly, i can learn to live with the macro keys problem... but its good to know that the black bar issue isn't a widespread thing.

-lq
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] liquidquick:
thanks for the suggestion; was hoping it would do the trick, but unfortunately it didn't. i wonder if it has something to do with using the keyboard and the bamboo stylus at the same time? i tried using only one at a time, but that didn't do any good either.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] liquidquick:
nope, i use the samsung keyboard. mostly cuz i'm lazy. :cyclops:

[General Questions and Answers] tech96:
So,I installed the latest version of Google Now Launcher yesterday and it worked perfectly.However,after I rebooted the phone,the launcher just disappeared.The icon was still there in the app tray(that of nova prime) but when I clicked it it only showed the options of nova and the default launcher;Google now launcher was nowhere to be seen.

Reinstalled it but the same thing happened again.I am on 4.1.1 with stock ROM rooted.Also the launcher was stored in the SD card.Anyone else experienced the same thing?
[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
I always install launchers on phone internal memory as it takes time for the phone to access the SD, because the launcher is one of the first apps to launch it should be on internal memory.

The launcher is probably vanishing as it is not designed to be on the SD so it looses all links to the actual phone and can't launch on start up
[General Questions and Answers] tech96:
Ok I will try your suggestion and post my results
[General Questions and Answers] tech96:

As in topic title.

I have 2 android phones from which i would like to swap external 2 internal.

Found several ways, but i cannot get one of them to work.

Most easy ( i think) is using the App External 2 internal, but same for this app: i cannot get it to work.

Can anybody help me, or explain how this can be done using the app External 2 internal (what do i have to fill out in the app)

Or does anyone have a good other working solution.. step by step??

TWRP https://yadi.sk/d/5Ldyk3QrZp5bP

Flash recovery with mobileuncles tools (place recovery in sdcard) or Flashtools (available from needrom link)

Custom ROM coming soon!

Kitkat update has been released! Build number: G6-20140929-144358,2014093

kitkat G6-20140929 download: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3670a7a4ef72/G6-20140929-1443584.4.zip

been using 4.4 for a few hours and already it seems pretty good. RAM usage is good and xposed works!

The battery, dimensions and dual speakers are what interest me most. When comparing to the Note 3, this is just 5mm taller and has an extra 300mah in the battery.

Anyone else have this phone?
[Android General] jaw2floor:
Ordered a white 32gb/2gb model today, cost £200.99. Also bought a rubber case for £2.something

Delivery is 5-15 business days. hopefully i get it soon, very excited
[Android General] tuottuontuot:
1. No Kitkat release yet

2. Call ID is not display for incoming call

3. Not root available:D
[Android General] jaw2floor:
Had a look at a Russian forum, and many users have reported the speakers rattling, and some guy had quite a few dead pixels on his device. I really hope mine doesn't have any dead pixels arghh.

TWRP is available, and maybe a MIUI Rom. Gonna post links later

Maybe the Jiayu G6 is delivery with root too.
[Android General] wdeb1:
I've that one

Hi,

I already have this one for over a month now and I really like it. But I hope the community gets bigger.

So there will be more tricks and tweaks. I'm just a thinker and leecher.

Wdeb
[Android General] jaw2floor:
Got the device yesterday and so far ive been quite impressed.

Build quality is good, no creaking.

GPS works very well! Gets a lock with no internet in 10 seconds. Very accurate, more than suitable for regular navigation.

Speakers are VERY good, loud+clear.

Front camera 8mp is v/good, soooo much detail. Rear camera is good, focuses very fast. There is a lot of noise in low light however, and shutter speed becomes very slow.

WiFi signal is strong, better than all my prev droid devices.

Root can be enabled in settings

Bad stuff:

Stock launcher and theme are very ugly, also the app switcher is iOS style, and slow. Also note this gives the wrong RAM usage reading.

Overall, ui isn't as quick as it should be. Don't get 60fps transitions everywhere. The jiayu g3s beats the g6 there.

'Aliyun OS' atm xposed probably won't work and will cause brick.

Will comment on battery later, but screen on time will be around 5 hours.
[Android General] jaw2floor:
Discovered some small bug in the camera app. Photo mode must be set to '13mp 4:3' for the video camera to record in 1080p, otherwise it will be 720p.

The gyroscope (might) be messed up, the axis are swapped, so if you move left or right on x axis, the phone thinks you are moving up or down on y axis. This is common with mtk6592 devices. I've only tried using the gyroscope in street view on google maps, so could just be a bug in that app.

I got 6h37 minutes screen on time a few days ago! Without a doubt the battery is 3500mah. Phone was on minimum brightness, wifi was on all the time and 3g was active for about 90 minutes. I was basically using snapchat all day. The battery percent is slightly inaccurate, 100 to 90 percent decreases slowly, then lasting 90% decreases in a linearly. Some other people have also had a miscalculated battery, it is something to look out for but not much of a problem, since the battery lasts so long anyway. I don't think recalibrating with an app will fix this but I will try.

The Jiayu S2 was very recently updated to kitkat. That phone has identical specs to the G6, so I think it is very likely the G6 will get updated to kitkat soon too.

Chrome browser scrolling is really laggy, stock browser performance is very good, but most the search providers are Chinese. I recommend using Bing, as that detects your language. Google is in Chinese. You can set your homepage to the correct language.

I've own also a G6 and have massive problem with it... ob better with the backup i've done befor i updated the rom to the newest version.

I’m not able to restore the user data with the build in “Android system recovery e3″, it simple says “no sd-card” (G6 has only phonememory, no sd). I've made the backup via e3 befor i flashed the new version, so i have now a clean g6, a backup from nearly 530MB (named “userdata_20140820_184248.backup”) and can´t restore it. Is there another solution to restore it (I have already tried nanodroid and TitanBackup, none can work with this backup-typ (will not show it)…

If i have a look at the phone with the root explorer, it shows me to under root\sdcard the phonememory, under root\storage sdcard0 (which is also the phonememory) and sdcard1

, which is only r/o with a size of "0". Phonememory is shown as 24,11 GB. It seems that something went wrong with the update.... Meanwhile i have restored the apps manually, but i'm not able to do a new Backup (error: no sd-card if i use the build in e3-backup solution)....

Any idea how to fix this error?
[Android General] wdeb1:
Firmware update??

I was reading the last reply, were Chris4Me mentioned a new firmware??? But where does that one come from?

I did see the one on Needrom, from Socrates. But because I can't find a back-up-method that completely backs up the phone, I haven't tried it. I want to go back to the former state. So something like ghost-images for the PC but now for the phone. Does someone have that?

I do like the G6 a lot. Sometimes it lags a bit, but most of the time it works perfect.

[Android General] Chris4You:
Hi,

thank you... i'll download it...

Done... there are no (flash-)tools in the package...

By the way, which recovery solution are you using (cwm/twr)?

I've tried severale (for example: Carliv Touch 6044 v2.5), but none will work (i always get a "no sdcard" error), reason seems to be the virtual sdcard of the G6...

So i'm using instead of cwm/twr the titaniumbackup and nanodroid... i hope it will work, i don't will loose all my apps and data again...

Hi All,

I ordered G6 and will receive it next week.

Is there a way for rooting the device?

I need the root to repair the IMEI due to custom regulations in my country.

Therefore I need the root to play with Mobile Uncle Tools.

Thx in advance

This seems do be a commen problem, if you update to 4.4 and afterwards downgrade to 4.2.x. The mentioned behaviour is describt for jiayu G4 and G5...

Original message:

Warning:

1.This software only used for jiayu G5S(2GB RAM+16GB ROM) ,that's means this can't appropriate for any other model ,even can't match for G4S!

2.IF your phone upgrate to android 4.4 version,it can't downgrade to android 4.2 version(screen touch may not be correct),We may do not provide any technical support in this situation .

3.When doing upgrade progress，please choose “firmware upgrade”,mobile phone disk will be formatted,backup your data is very Important !

Maybe it helps (or the phone will fully break, if you flash it, i don't know this)...

[Android General] Luc12412:
I flashed CyanogenMod 12.1 (was supposedly for the G6, by Jiayu Germany) to my G6 but now it does not recognize my internal memory. Just the partition dedicated to the ROM and apps, not the other one. Which means the phone is mostly useless (no camera, downloading anything, etc).

What exactly is causing the problem and is it easy to fix? I was thinking of trying another ROM for the G6 to see if it fixes it, but there aren't a lot. Since the specs of the Jiayu S2 are nearly identical to the G6, does that mean I can flash custom ROMs developed for the S2 on my G6?
[Android General] digitalxpIT:

Where do you take the rom? I think the problem is not for g6!
