[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qx876:
Hi,

Does someone own the moto e? How does it fare against the defy? Is it an upgrade?

I need a new phone but money is tight, the only feature I really need is some waterproofness and the ability to scan documents.

Cheers
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s27moto:
moto E or if you can use more money moto G both is great
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksy+:
Looking at the specs, the E is definitely an upgrade when coming from DEFY.

At the same time, the DEFY was in a higher price range when it launched, hence it feels like a higher quality device... At least to me. The E is almost the same size as G, but has .2" smaller screen. It's got a fat ugly bezel around the screen... I don't know, it's not my cup of tea, but for the price it's awesome! Nothing's better at that price point, imho.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qx876:
I think moto g doesnt have any waterresistancy, while the moto e got a coating comparable to sony z1 me think.

What about the camera in the e, I only hear bad things about it? It cant really be as bad as defys(apart from that flashlight absence)?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosanoguera:
Defy is pretty good with a custom rom!

Moto E is only water "splash" resistant, just the screen a few drops if you put it in water it will die (you can look up a video)

I think it is not worth the change, you will spend 110€ for a bigger screen, camera with no flash and no water resistant... for a bit more you have Moto G (170€), and for a bit more Xiaomi Mi3 (220€)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qx876:
Actually you are right, no clue how effective this splash resistance is. I always assumed it can withstand rain on a handlebar and such.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartexsz:
Simply my ace II doesn't power up after night. No reaction to power button, no reaction to charger. Tried pulling off battery for half hour. Still no reaction. I think there was about 60-70% battery before i felt asleep (however, I can be wrong). Any ideas?

EDIT: Is it safe if I try putting charger wires in between battery and its connection pins, to check if it's case of usb socket? (I used this method on spica if my replacement battery discharged completly, spica couldn't charge replacement battery in bootloader).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MissLaniS:
I am having issues with my SMS & MMS messaging, ever since I did the update on my phone.

I use Handcent SMS & I have verizon service. Sometimes it takes like 8 tries for my phone to finally send a text message.

& sending an MMS is just out.of the question now.. I cant send pics or anything anymore. Ive tried being on wifi, ive tried not being on wifi. Its so frustrating.

I dont know a whole lot about kernels & modems.. etc. But here is what my phone is on:

Android 4.4.2

Baseband: 1545VRUFNC5

Kernel: 3.4.0 dpi@SWDD5015#1

Build: KOT49H.1545VRUFNC5

Anyone having issues with sending texts or MMS TOO,?? Any ideas of what I might be able to try to get it to work??

Anyone know the MMS settings?? Like MMSC, PROXY or PORT?? For handcent, on verizon??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ammjr71:
Use for all sms & mms

Stupid question probably, but do you still have the stock app installed? Have you checked the "use for all sms" setting in handcent?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pscshuler:
I've ran into the same issue since going to 4.4.2 ... If wifi is enabled no mms will be delivered (regular sms seems fine). I've tried the safe mode trick which didn't work and neither did changing the others.xml or using Verizon APN settings.

Stock messaging, Handcent, textra and gosms... None of them seem to work without toggling wifi & resending.

Factory reset did work for 3-4 days but it's back to not working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pscshuler:
This tip seems to working for me... At the moment anyway...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pscshuler:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rayxxxle:
I finally had to remove Handcent from the phone. Reg app works now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MissLaniS:
How do I clear the data on messaging?? & yes I still have the stock messaging app installed. & yes handscent is set to be used for all messages.

I cant send an MMS, with WiFi on or with it off..

I know that putting in the MMSC , PROXY & PORT settings may not help.. but I just wanna try anyways. So does anyone know what they are supposed to be?? It never hurts to try.. right??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Try uninstalling handscent. then go to stock messaging. hit home, then hold in home, long press on messaging, hit app info, then clear data.

see if MMS is working... and if it does you can try to reinstall handscent.

Dow load pdanet
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leather Sock:
So, my HTC One got hit with the unresolvable "Can't charge unless turned off" bug and I'm going to be forced to return it if I can. My HTC One is unlocked, rooted and CM11 is installed. I also have SuperCID and S-Off. I also do not have warranty anymore because it's been 1 year since I got my phone, so I'm not sure how well it's going to go by returning this phone and hoping for a replacement.

Has anyone else had any experience with this? Do I just return it to stock as best as I can (All of the Google links to doing this are outdated with broken download links now, so if anyone could link me to a full guide to address all of my "customizations" to my phone to return to stock, it'd be highly appreciated) and go into the AT&T store hoping for a refurbished model replacement at least? Is there a phone manufacturer warranty of sorts? Will they check my phone to see the bootloader unlock counter or whatever? I heard they use a tool/program that checks to see how many times your bootloader has been unlocked or something.

I really need to get this phone fixed because it's having an awful lot of issues with it and I rely heavily on this phone for work. Not only that, but I had to pay retail for this phone when I got it back in June or so of 2013 so I'd like to fix these issues or get it replaced so I can re-sell it once my upgrade is available in a year.

If anyone could please help me, give me advice or point me in the direction of 'returning to stock' guides in all of the customization categories I listed, I'd be tremendously appreciative. I'm assuming the best way to do it is just walk into the AT&T store after returning to stock and act like a moron that barely knows how to turn the phone on and ask them if I can get a replacement under manufacturer warranty for these electronic bugged problems.

What do you all think?

I prefer staying S-Off, but that's something only you can decide.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leather Sock:
Thank you so much for your help! I figured I had to go to S-On to return it fully to stock. I don't want there to be any issues when I go to return it since I've done the naughty stuff behind the scenes and I'm trying to get the best possible chance I can at getting a replacement. I've also never returned a phone or anything of the sort so I'm not sure what to expect or how much I'll have to talk them into the replacement. I do have a custom recovery being TWRP's latest version but I'm not necessarily sure what you mean. I imagine once I begin the process I'll understand!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
you need custom recovery to use adb command or use the Guru Bootloader Reset (which allows you to remove TAMPERED and set the phone to LOCKED not RELOCKED),

so it should be straightforward for you:

1) use Guru Bootloader Reset or adb commands to remove TAMPERED and set LOCKED

2) flash ruu.zip twice

---> first flash will give you "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)"

---> second flash should give you: "(bootloader) ...... Successful, OKAY [200.187s], finished. total time: 242.101s"

3) bootup phone just to make sure everything is OK, do not take OTA updates!! (at least yet)

4) set S-On

5) take OTAs if you want
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leather Sock:
Thank you! Okay, from what I understand, I just need to do the following:

1. Put Guru Bootloader Reset + Ruu file you linked me to on my SD card like I would a custom ROM, ready to be unzipped.

2. Backup device stuff and reboot into TWRP

3. Install Zip for Guru Bootloader Reset and do the following in it's GUI to remove Tampered (I don't have it right now) and set my status to "Locked"

4. Reboot back into the recovery, not the ROM, and Install Zip "Ruu.zip" by flashing it. I'll get an error, and then I flash it one more time and I'm done and able to boot into stock Sense rom with OTA updates.

5. Remove S-On with that easy command via Fastboot. (However, didn't you say I needed a recovery to do this? Don't I do this while I still have TWRP or do I just keep TWRP on there? I don't see anywhere, where I'm removing TWRP)

Is that right? Am I missing any important details? Will this hide my past activities enough to get a replacement do you think?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Not really ;)

First off, using ruu will completely wipe your phone!! everything including internal storage, so if there is anything on your phone you want to keep, you need to back that up to your PC.

Second, the fastboot commands are run on your PC, while the phone is connected and you are in bootloader showing FASTBOOT USB (just like you did to get the "fastboot getvar all"

So:

1- put Guru Bootloader Reset on your internal storage -> OK

2- use TWRP to "install" Guru Bootloader Reset -> OK, remove TAMPERED (even if it's not there), set LOCKED -> OK

go back to bootloader and confirm LOCKED

3- on your PC with phone connected in FASTBOOT USB:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

fastboot flash zip ruu.zip <- yes TWICE, the first one will report “failed flush again”, the second one will succeed.

fastboot reboot-bootloader

4- reboot the phone (it will be wiped clean), just to make sure everything is OK, do not take OTA updates.

5- set S-On using

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

done.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leather Sock:
Oh! Whew, glad I didn't do it yet then (still waiting for the RUU to download). Alright, apart from pictures/videos I don't think there's anything else on my Internal Storage that I care about unless there's other common stuff I'm forgetting. I also backed up my contacts and emailed them to me so I should be good there as well. Backed up my apps too.

One last final question and I promise I'll let you go! Will TWRP in this process, ever be removed or is it okay that it remains on there? When I flash the RUU, is that what removes it when it wipes the phone? If so, how will the fastboot work without TWRP if RUU removes it?

Oh, editing this in. When I go to install RUU, do I put the .zip file in my adb folder containing fastboot?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
1- Everything (literally) will be removed / wiped / replaced after flashing a RUU... the phone will be just like "out of the box"

2- You only need TWRP to run the Guru Bootloader Reset, after that there's no more use for it, and you actually have to get rid of it for the phone to be 100% stock. (the ruu will replace twrp with the stock recovery)

3- fastboot commands are only run while the phone is in bootloader not recovery

fastboot.exe commands = bootloader/FASTBOOT USB

adb.exe commands = custom recovery or booted ROM with USB debugging enabled

EDIT: yes, rename the downloaded file to ruu.zip (for simplicity) and place it in your adb folder

make sure to check MD5 on the download

(and if you are using Windows Explorer to rename, be careful not to rename it to ruu.zip.zip)

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJD809:
Hi guys,

Even though I used flashtool multiple times in the past I have suddenly come to the conclusion I have no idea what I'm doing or to achieve a certain objective when flashing a phone.

...let me explain a bit more and hopefully it makes a bit more sense. In some forums you pick up that you must select "TA" in flashtool. In other posts it's the opposite. So, what is TA exactly; what happens if you do and what happens if you don't? I'm not going to quote any specific forum; this is just the impression I get afterwards after reading a lot of forums.

What options to you select in flashtool to get what desirable effect?

As I see it, you have two options when you want to update your phone with the latest Android firmware version.

1st option is upgrading your phone and have a clean out-of-box phone with no data/user date or any user installed apps. You then end up having your phone in a brand new, just bought kind of condition.

2nd option is to flash the phone but maintain all user apps and data.

What options do you select in flashtool and what do you un-select to achieve any of the above mentioned options? I refer here to the check mark options and the no final verification option. :confused:

..or if I put it in the other way; what steps do you follow to simply upgrade your phone and maintain all apps and data and what steps do you follow to completely wipe the phone when upgrading the firmware.

What is the end result when selecting or de-selection all the different options in flashtool.

I know you have the option to reset phone to factory default in Settings - Backup&reset section and this will wipe the phone.

On the [FTF] STOCK FIRMWARES for Xperia Z2/Z2a (D65x3/D6502/SO-03F) [20140803] forum the instructions are basic in using flashtool. Here I'm focusing on two steps:

3. Open Flashtool, click on the lightning symbol ("flash device"), select "Flashmode" and click on "OK"

4. Select the .ftf file of what you downloaded and click on "Flash"

This implies that you leave all the options that was automatically selected as is and just carry on. What happens if you don't?

Its a super fine hairline crack diagonally across the corners.

Didnt get insurance since I have NEVER cracked a screen. Still dont even know how it happened I didnt really drop it. I did let it slip yesterday from like 2 feet but cought it on my sneaker.

Very annoyed. I bought a new screen protector and kind of hoping it conceals it a bit.

Ill wait until the unit gets cheaper in a few months and just replace everything.

I then might just buy the glass (its on amazon) and try to replace the glass on the broken one to see if I can and have a spare part.

Theyre like 80+$ but honestly its so fine that unless its tilted the right way its unnoticeable.

I agree with you.

Any samsung phone can have 2 kind of Custom ROM.

1. CM based which I do not like. I suggest to buy Nexus if any one like CM rather than buying something and installing something.

2. Samsung Based. The stock software is just perfect. I do not see any custom ROM needed at this moment. Most of the custom ROMs are taken features of Note 3 or S5. If you have a look to other forum of S3 & Not3 you can pull those apps and most of them should work.

What was needed is root the phone, delete unwanted apps, and a good recovery....Which all I got it for my Note 3 Neo SM-750:good:

Now if this is been updated to Kitkat should be good, else no worries. The GUI would be same for all.

What I am looking for now a extended battery.....The stock battery really good however having extended battery is good when you are in vacation.
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonio8297:
It's not so simple,for first you need to create a device tree,and prometeus doesn't have it because is stock based.

Sometimes samsung release the sourcecode for compile aosp on his opensource center,try to compile it,or try to modify the device tree with cm modification and compile it.

And fix all the bugs.
