A few update

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the late replies, but a few updates:

1. A version with delete place is already enrolled in the play store

2. You can now skip the FB/G+ login

Many more features coming soon :good:

Delete is now implemented and enrolled

I understand the request, I will start rolling the wheels to log even short visit if they included a wifi connection but I can't promise anything, I agree with you it makes since in case of wifi connections

When you manually fix the venue we pick the venue location from Foursquare so we the next time we will probably mark the correct location (assuming the Foursquare data is accurate)

To modify a place manually you click the place and then in the single place view you have a pencil icon on top (or an "Edit" option after pressing the hardware menu button)

I hope I understood you correctly, contact me if not

Now there is :good:

Also, we tuned the algorithm to generate less false visits.. after many users delete places and choose the correct delete reason (optional) we hope we improve it much further

As for gas station categories, visits to gas stations are usually less than 15 minutes so we don't really count those as visits.. but hey, we keep improving so as time goes by we will have more time to add such specific heuristics and more categories to support them

You can modify the place name and choose a choose a category for it (private residence)

Did you notice the edit option when you click a single place in the list ? (its the pencil icon on top)

I think I should just rename 'Private Residence' to 'Family/Friends' , do you have something better in mind ? The more categories we add the more complex editing becomes

- We added a "skip login" , we rather not collect an email, we like the data to stay anonymous

- Delete is also implemented and enrolled

Thanks !

Delete is now implemented :cowboy:

We also tuned the algorithm to generate less false visits and we keep improving it

A skip feature is now available :)

Delete has a bug. Deleted entry stayed in the Journal, deleted only from Stats and Places.
[Android Apps and Games] ultrawires:
Visited two shops, in close proximity, on two separate days but it was recorded as the same location, the one on the first visit.

Can you consider a detach function from the single location view, so that we can detach a visit to assign a different location.

Backup?

Hi, is there a backup funktion? Had to reflash my phone and lost 4 weeks of data.
[Android Apps and Games] MrAce:
Backup would be awesome as I now have data across 3 different devices and to be able to merge the data into one would be useful too.

I don't understand if this apk works always in background or if I have to start it before. I would like it always automatically works even if I clear ram or close all apk
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Install it, run it, forget about it. Every few days or whatever, look at it and tweak what it wasn't sure about or got wrong.

If you're using task killers or other such nonsense, you'll have issues with this app and many others. Don't use them.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iorveth:
Hi,

I recently got the Xperia Z2 Black and I noticed when I look at the phone directly without tilting there is a reddish tint on the bottom. When I tilt the phone slightly it go away. However, the way I use my phone is to put it directly (no tilt) when using it.

Is that normal? I read here that there are some Z2 that have gap or overheating but I have non of those. I recorded 4K video for 16 minute and nothing happened. I turned it off as my hand got tired.

Do you think I should return it?

Thanks.

PS: The red tint is not very extreme but it is very noticeable in white background. I used the white balance to reduce it but it's still there.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyblaney:
Hey,

Ive seen many threads about this, but I cannot find one that works for me. So here is my problem.

Apps like Facebook, SnapChat, Instagram, And a few others that I cannot think of right now will

not send push notifications. I have tried using the Backup & Restore feature in the settings, and

I lost all my stuff, and re-installed the apps, re-rooted my phone, and they still aren't working.

Another thing I have tried is re-re-installing the apps, clearing the data and cache, and pretty much

everything. I also installed an app called something like "Notification Fixer" for root users, and for

non root users which changes your phones heartbeat (Whatever this is) and this still, does not work.

Can someone tell me how to fix this? But before you do, here is my phone information.

Model Number: SGH-I337M

Android Version: 4.4.2

Kernel Version: 3.4.0-1529758

Security Software Version: MDF v1.0 Release 2

Kind Regards,

Cody

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btlogx:
Hi all,

I sucessfully changed my cracked digitizer on my Nexus 7 gen 1. Followed the procedure in youtube and heated my screens and used guitar wire to remove the cracked digitizer-looked good.. Cleaned up the glue on the LCD and and taped the LCD to the digitizer. I did not glue the LCD to the digitizer. Reasembled everything and booted.

I booted and everything booted correctly. Except for starting. I had to drag the lock icon over to the right to open the tablet. Swiping did not work.

The digitizer does not work with swipes. I had to touch several times to even get a response. I could touch a icon app to start it but could not turn pages if I needed to. I thought the digitizer electronics was defective, so I bought a used motherboard(suposely 100% tested).

When the new motherboard came, I rassembled everything.

I powered up the new motherboard. Half of the screen had sigguily lines and I could see the boot up icons coming up on the other half. Thinking I did something wrong, I pulled the battery connector. Rechecked all of the connections, and pushed the start button. Nothing happened. No light of any kind.

I reinstalled my original motherboard and same thing, no boot up at all. The only difference is that with my original motherboard, I heard a "bonk" sound from the speaker 3 seconds after I push the start button, but nothing on the screen.

Any suggestions from anybody? Maybe bad LCD connector. If the connector is bad, would that prevent booting?

Anybody seen this before?

Help!!!!!!

Leave it charging for half hour and press power button for 10 to 15 seconds and it will boot
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btlogx:
Hi all,

I think I found the answer already.

My LCD flat cable is broken. Using a ohmmeter, I found most of the flat gold traces have a break in them. Probably from my dis-assembly of the

and assembly of the LCD too many times. i am ordering two LCD cables from a China distributor.

I hope it fixes the problem, I have not received the cables yet.

But the question remains. Does having a bad LCD cable prevent or stop the Nexus 7 from booting?

Hi,

I purchased my Z2 from eBay seller name never-msrp.

I got the phone and it was factory sealed with Dock K36 included in the box. My phone was the Asian version I think since all writing on the box was in Asian, dont know which exact language.

My question is, can I send my phone to Sony in the US for repair? or I am stuck with no warranty? Can I buy other warranty like Square Trade?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
all Sony Xperia devices come with a 2 year warrenty, all you need is your proof of purchase weather it be an email or a physical reciept

your device should also be covered by who your purhcased from if they give a warrenty too
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
It is covered by the US warranty but they will offer no time frame for repair citing part-sourcing as the reason.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iorveth:
Thanks!

You guys are sure about this?

I purchased SquareTrade 2Year Warranty anyways but just to know this for the future....
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom1226:
Just curious, what issues are you having? My z2 just started having a screen issue, I bought from the same seller. Have a line at the top of the screen that flickers mirroring the bottom of the screen, almost like a row of pixels at the bottom is cut off and displaying at the top. It's bizarre. Like if I tap the soft keys, a row of light glows in unison at the top of the screen in the same place...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
i have been told this by a sony Team 6 dev,Team 7 deb, Sony customer Support in uk and japan, all xperia devices come with 2 yr warrenty nomatter where you got it from
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom1226:
Interesting, I just got off the phone with Sony regarding the issue I'm having and they said that I don't have a valid warranty...Hmmm.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cHoLoCoY:
i got my Z2 about 4 months ago from eBay (seller: never-msrp),.... i had a problem with my phone so i contacted the seller, unfortunate its the 30 days period already,....

so they directed me to Sony HK (Hong Kong) which was where the phone was original from or sold,.... i told them the problem with my phone,... they tried to help me fix it over the phone but unfortunately we couldn't so they told me that i had to send it over and most likely its covered under the manufacturer warranty,... so they ask me to e-mail them a copy of the receipt / proof of purchase before we can proceed with the process,... so i forward them a copy of the receipt from eBay and also from PayPal,....

they got back to me a day later,... and dismissed my claim because the phone was purchased overseas,.. so they can't fulfill the warranty,....

i guess there's some laws against products being purchased where ever you may be and being sent / used to a different country / overseas....
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
Just contact Sony USA. They will tell you that your phone is covered but since it was designed and sold for a foreign market they will offer no timeframe for returning it to you. (They say 15 days for USA products) If they have to source parts directly from Hong Kong it can take time. I've done this twice with no problem whatsoever, including my z2 from Tawain. If it helps I've always communicated with Sony via chat on the USA website. I'm 99% positive every Sony phone comes with a 2 year warranty.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom1226:
That's who I contacted, the Sony USA service line. I'll try chat later today, that may work better actually since maybe there's a way I can upload pictures into the chat to show my issue.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Well you could always send it through the Hong Kong Sony Repair Centre. Just lie and make it clear that it was bought while in Hong Kong.

If they want to be deceitful scum bags then a white lie is in order to get what you rightfully deserve.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom1226:
Hmm maybe. Going to stop at a Sony store and see if they can help me out. If not, how would I go about finding out where my z2 originated? The box and everything is all printed in English.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
It sucks that you are having such a hard time. I've been singing the praises of Sony mobile support for years. I had such a good experience on more than one occasion.

All I had to do was give them my IMEI on Sony USA chat and they told me when, where, and intended sales market.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Yeah IMEI lookup.

Google is your friend :)

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom1226:
Thanks for the thoughts haha. I'm not giving up, just been too busy to take care of this (work, grad school starting back up, wedding planning). Going to try Sony on the live chat tonight after my video uploads to YouTube so I can link them and show the problem. I'll drop a link here too.

Guy at the Sony store was super nice, and thought it was really bizarre. He said they couldn't do anything in store to help though, that corporate had taken all techs out of the stores and any replacements, etc. have to go through being sent in now. Said if I'd been there in like Feb. I'd have just left with a new phone. Oh well, **** happens, I still love the Xperia devices. I just hope that Sony will honor the warranty, as it's an obvious defect.

Sigh, this looks like my only option. Sony US is telling me that since the IMEI shows that the device was bought in HK (assuming that's where it was imported from), that I would be responsible for the cost of any repairs that need to be done. And the kicker is they can't give me an estimate as to what those repairs would cost.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glovesave:
really Sony?

Mmmm I had a TL I got on Ebay here in the US but the phone was an att model and they didn't care I got it on ebay, I just had to open a service request.

I also got my asian model (need to do the imei lookup) and that Sony don't cover it's warranty here in the US is pretty shocking and something to consider. Maybe it's squaretrade time for me also.

I'd be curious what happens eventually.

Good Luck

[Mi 3 General] Siddarth Malik:
the processor is 8974AB snappy 800 not 801...

nice article.. i ll also be in koramangla on aug 25th working for flipkart only :D if u can lemme know the PG rates there... it will help me a great deal...i l b there for two months

a few additions

and xiaomi sells cheap because its following the razor-cartridge model.. it dreams to make money from purchases from the mi store.. themes and all.. plus it is retailing only through our beloved flipkart because it cannot afford to go to physical retail outlets.. because it cannot manufacture so many units right now.. only samsung and apple can mass produce mobile phones and even they have trouble getting parts.. OIS and 13MP camera was not there in note 2 because of sensor unavailability from sony.. they cannot serve sucha high demand right now.. somewhat similar to what bezos is doing with firephone.. but their strategy is different.. to curb high demand and check whether their phone will succeed or not and to curb losses he has his phone priced $650 LOL

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

and i ordered one mi3 today.. have u been facing any issues with the phone? just before i accept with COD.. it ll be helpful

also i ordered the nillkins (whatever the spellings are) tempered glass screen protector for 750 from ebay and also their frost hard cover

do u use any of these? any suggestions are welcome :)
[Mi 3 General] Amruth Pillai:
The processor is advertised as Snapdragon 800, for some reason, but all the mobile phones we're getting from Flipkart have Snapdragon 801. Here's a screenshot to prove it:

View attachment 2895264

And I see, but there was this video on YouTube that clearly mentioned the same what I've said. I can see the point you're trying to make, but Xiaomi isn't some backyard company now, is it? It's considered the 'Apple of China', how much ever they hate being called that. I'm sure they'll have the money to at least be in talks with physically retail stores and distributors. If not, you could be right. They went for the cheaper and affordable option of going through Flipkart. Either way, it's a win-win for us!

I'm sorry, but I can't comment on any of the products you've bought from eBay, as I haven't used them myself. I'm actually waiting for the original accessories to release, but a screen guard worth 750 should be worth it's price. When it does arrive, upload the pictures and store link on this thread so others can buy it! :)

Thanks for reading!

SNAPDRAGON 801?!?!? what are your benchmark scores?
[Mi 3 General] doctor_droid:
Yup msm8974 is sd 800

Msm8974ac/ab is sd801
[Mi 3 General] andrijav:
It has msm8274ab (same as 8974ab but without lte support) which is sometimes recognized as snapdragon 801! The msm8974ac is snapdragon 801! The only difference between the two is that msm8974ab has clock speed 2.26ghz and emmc 4.5 while the msm8974ac has 2.46ghz and emmc 5.0! The benchmark difference is way too small! my mi3 gets 42k on antutu 5 beta while I have seen that mi4 with 801 gets around 42-43k!
[Mi 3 General] Amruth Pillai:
Updated the review.

1) Added a few more photographs from the camera to showcase it's true potential.

2) Added a link to a few tried & tested accessories in the bottom of the post, with a video thanks to Devansh Arora!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleallen5000:
So this has been a burning question of mine for sometime:

Am I missing something or can you no longer mount your internal SD card while inside TWRP anymore? This may have been a feature that was removed a long time ago ( even my One [m7] was missing the option). But if it was removed, then why does the mount option still exist within TWRP.

What i really mean is, when i choose the mount option inside TWRP I used to be presented with an option to mount the SD card to my PC so that i could transfer files while still inside TWRP.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dusty Rhodes:
I found that I couldn't do it because I encrypted my device. I had to erase the whole thing and start over with an unencrypted device and now it mounts just fine. It's an issue with manufacturing that's hardwired into the device.

Basically, device encryption is jacked up.

I think there was a mention that the solution isn't easy to remedy, but a software fix is coming in a bit.

I did not encrypt my device, or at least I did not do it with my knowledge.

Hello. Recently I ordered a replacement back cover and it seems to have not come with the vibration motor. Can I just take the motor from the old cover and put it in the new one? If I understand correctly, it's only held down by some adhesive so I should just be able to pop the motor out and put it in its place on the new cover, right?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beauenheim:
This is correct. According to this reddit post: http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/1vpjv1/anyone_attempted_to_replace_vibration_motor_yet/

It should be able to just be popped out and reglued.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brushstroke:
Excellent! What kind of adhesive should I use? Would double-sided tape be fine for this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beauenheim:
Due to the intensity of the constant vibrating, you'll need some pretty strong tape.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Havoc2k:
Hey there,

i have a strage problem, after rooting a lot of android devices the m8 behaves kind of strange.

I got a brand new M8 (Hbot 3.15xxxx and 4.4.2) for my girl friend and unlocked the device with htc dev. after this i flashed twrp 2.7.0.2, no big deal.

Now i made a backup (thank god....) and downloaded viper rom and arhd roms.

But if i install a rom (does not matter which one, with wipe and so on) the script tells me installtion is finished, but if i hit the next button the m8 vibrates and turns off, at least the screen goes dark.

the only way to wake up the m8 is to push power and volume up button, but the only thing i see is the htc logo with the red text at the buttom.

adb reboot boatloader does not work, but reboot recocery does. Wipen cache and so does not fix the problem, the stock backup can be restored.

do you have any idea what's going on, i really want to run viper or arhd on the m8.

thanks!

i don't think thats the problem. if the screen would timeout (like while doing backup or restore) i could wake it up.

but the device is not booting anymore then. Even if i do a adb reboot recovery and make a clean reboot. Just the htc logo with the warning.

could it be the firmware ? i dont see any information for hboot 3.15.....
