Tmobile is replacing my device under manufacturers warranty due to a bad speaker.anyways the device that I have to send back is missing the bottom usb cover flap what do you guys think tmobile will say anything when they see it missing the flap?please give your input on this subject. Thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xda23:
My friend said he wouldn't worry about it he would just send it back to them without the usb port cover flap.Im kind of worried that the will charge me for the device.any knowledge on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] koolboyztn:
or u can buy that cover from ebay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheArtiszan:
That might be considered physical damage by t-mobile.

I would replace it before sending it back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xda23:
O.k. I was thinking the same thing.hey there's a step by step instructions somewhere on xda explaining how to install a new USB cover tab but I can't find it if you guys know what I talking about could someone please post the link to it.I greatly appreciate all your help. Thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dpshptl:
The part is less than a buck on ebay. Take off the battery cover and there is one screw on the bottom by the port. Take that off and put in the new but plug and your good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spirodave:
I think you should be Ok . Maybe explain it to them first and see if its gonna be a problem and if it is get the one from Ebay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dpshptl:
Ok it's not less than buck but still only $2-$3. Just search galaxy s5 usb plug.

Just checked the update centre on my z2 and it says there is a system update, but it says it's the same number as the firmware I'm already running? 17.1.2.A.0.314

Any idea why?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
sometimes sony pc companion does that, usualy it will fail updating

reinstalling sony pc companion worked for me
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotton666:
It wasn't through pc companion, I checked the update on the phone itself.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
i had this simular on my Z2 as well

its caused by the device either being rooted or bootloader unlocked, somtimes sonys wierd update system just glitches out if your neither root or UB
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unease:
None of the above. Sony had rolled out a minor patch (~25MB) on the existing. 314 firmware. nothing to worry about.

Only minor inconvenience would be to root again.

Sent from Sony Xperia Z2 using XDA
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unease:
Might be a bug fix (performance improvement etc. etc.). No clue. May be check with Sony! Doesn't really matter though.:cool:

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
small updates from sony are usualy bug fixes or performance increase.

security seems to be a big problem for sony because they always try to patch exploits

generaly bigger things would come with new android versions,

Hi, I have a favor to ask if possible which I think could help a lot of people in here. However, I'm not sure that it can be done or not because I'm not an expert in rom. So basically, if anyone updated to the newest 4.4.2 with the new baseband have NE5. I think the baseband is: kot49h-i527mvlucne5. Is there anyway you can backup the your current working rom right now and share it to other people right now. The reasons I ask this is because I lot of people updated to the newest baseband and got stuck here after trying custom rom or go back to the original. The problem is they don't release the current rom for flash yet. So I'm not sure with the backup rom, it might help people or not but I'm just asking to seek help from you because it is really can save a lot of people if the method works. Thanks so much and hope you have a great day
[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.

Note: The title say Z but it's actually Z2.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] discipuloosho:
Of course, you have to return it. If you do not you'll regret in the future
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iorveth:
Well, do you have any red tint on the bottom half of your screen?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] discipuloosho:
I have worse problems, and I was dumb and not returned it when I had the opportunity
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iorveth:
I returned the phone for replacement and waiting for it.

Hopefully I will not get any of the overheating problems or the gap problems as my old one didnt have any of those.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] discipuloosho:
not at all
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corsair1227:
I did my first rooting blah, blah, blah and it was a success on the exception I have no sound now. everything works fine except I can't call anyone and or listen to music. I did tons of research on this before posting this, but I still didn't get my problem resolved which in turn forced me to pester ya'll. I found a thread of others having this problem and tried a fix about trying to install a different modem with odin and it keeps failing.

I installed the MJA upgrade (how to root sph-l720) I saw on youtube. after the rooting etc.. is when I lost sound. everything else worked (data) (wifi) (texting) (googleplay) etc......

I could only find one other modem to try, but like I said it failed to install.

after 3 days of browsing and getting things done by myself, I'm burned out and could really use help on this. I'm very new to this phone thing so please, if there is a way to fix this, be as detailed as possible.

I didn't have time to read forum rules so I didn't post any links cause I was not sure if I was allowed to. If I am and ya'll would like me to post where I learned the rooting and a so called fix to my problem. I can do that. just let me know.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Well this section is for not for your version of the S4. So you would probably have more luck in this section:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-sprint

You give way to few details to help you.

- What rooting method did you use?

- What is the excact file that you used for rooting (filename is good enough).

- What is the excact firmware that you are using?

My guess would be that you flashed the wrong file for rooting (if you used cf-root). Just try to reflash the firmware you are on with Odin. That should probably fix it.

You don't need to flash a different modem. I don't think that thats the problem.

Give us more then a name to a youtube video (I can't even find it). Be specific. The more details the better.

thanks for responding

I reposted this in your link, but heres the answer to your question anyways. the exact name of the youtube video is,

(How to Install Android 4.3 Custom ROM on Sprint Galaxy S4!) this video has all the exact files i used on my rooting. I did however use a more updated philz touch recovery. 6.15. something. not sure if that matters or not.

Thanks in advance.

SOLVED: On several occasions, including twice yesterday, the screen designated as home screen changed. All five screens remained exactly as I had them set up, but without warning a different one was the designated home screen. I have not been able to figure out how this happens or how to intentionally change the designated home screen to correct this.

Any help diagnosing this would be appreciated.

SOLUTION: Short press on any screen to switch to edit mode then touch the top of the desired home screen. Home screen switches to the desired screen.

Our battery usage is much lower than Chronos.

On Kitkat, Chronos usually shows up with 5-7% of total battery usage.

LifeStats rarely shows up on the battery usage screen (and when it rarely does, it's usually at 2%)

[Android Apps and Games] shailevy:
Thanks for all the comment - Lets dig in

Hi Everyone,

zoharby that posted this is a co-founder (along with me and a few others) in a startup company placer.io , LifeStats shows some of the abilities our SDK's provides for the client side (much more on the server side), we welcome anyone that would like to use our SDK (also iOS), just contact us.

Back to the LifeStats, I'm the actual client side programmer who coded the Android app and I will try to be active here and answer any question, I love the xda community and hearing from you will surely improve the app as we go along, please stay active.

Lets start:

I find such reminders pretty bothering and tend to lead to uninstalls, I'm pretty surprising your asking for this. I can add it pretty quickly if I hear more requests or when we think of something fun to tell you about your week :)

We don't hog the battery but I guess you want that for privacy, I will try to add it somewhere in the UI, stay tuned

We only read the age and gender from FB/G+ , it helps us better identify the venues you visit. At some point we will add a quick dialog to provide this info, for now you can be sure we don't abuse or post or do anything you will feel or dislike

Thanks for the bug report, I will try to figure out what's causing this and try to fix, if you know how to extract a logcat log feel free to send it to me and It will finding the bug on your device much quicker. I apologize for the inconvenience

We have an SDK and any developer can such cool ideas a shot in his own app, for now the lack of clear leader in the wearable field make development pretty risky and were not sure we have a "killer feature" we want to implement with those wearables, what did you have in mind ?

Not sure I understood you, the app automatically generated the data

See my comment to b3aucb, I will consider making this optional and update here.. I see other users are asking for this also (for now you should know we only read the age and gender)

Press the car dealer place to enter the single place screen, you will then have a pencil icon on top and you can name the place and choose "private residence"

we will then use the data to be smarter next time , thanks :)

I think you add your gym to Foursquare but it will probably easy to modify the place

About Material Design, I'm a big fan but it was just introduced and its a bit early to modify the design, when Android L will be out it will be easier to get the proper feeling of how apps were modified to this Google vision.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] TazZHD:
Are there more services possible to apply other than foursquare to get more precise results?
[Android Apps and Games] shailevy:
We reviewed many services and they were the best, they might be weak in some areas, where are you from ? Do the places you attend exist in FQ ?

We can use information from our users to improve our results, if you fix the places our algorithms will learn from it, it just takes time

I guess at some point we might also use Google Places buts its very noisy and lack many info we need for our logic (popularity, opening hours and etc...)
[Android Apps and Games] ultrawires:
While traveling on the train and having patchy internet connection, Lifestats had "recorded" a location that's several km from where I was.

How can I delete this entry?

Or can I move this to a specific location(...this may defeat the intent/logic for your application)?
[Android Apps and Games] shailevy:
If the entry is still there you can fix it a nearby location, but if it's not nearby than it's an issue I would like to investigate , If you don't mind me peeking on the data from your device in our servers I would appreciate if you can email me the time (start-end) of of the recorded location along with your user id , you can find the user id in the settings screen

You can email it to me shai@placer.io

I hope you don't mind. Either way its becoming clear that I need to add a "delete" feature.

Thanks for opening my eyes to this
[Android Apps and Games] bruj:
I started to use the app today. Looks quite interesting and promising.

+1 for the following requests: log in with email; delete a location; logging on / off for privacy

[Android Apps and Games] DarkWolf747:
There definitely needs to be a delete feature. It logged a strange office building along the highway on my way to work this morning... I figured out that I was stuck in traffic and was moving slowly through that particular area. Also, there should be a category for gas stations... it'd be interesting to see how often I visit them.
[Android Apps and Games] Rochey13:
i've been using this app which has been great so far.

I've got a location (my local gym) that hasn't been recognised lifestats shows it as the next street over. It'd be great to have the option to modify it to the correct location.

I also just checked it on foursquare and the gym exists. If you need any info from me just let me know.

[Android Apps and Games] PhaseBurn:
I too travel by train, bus, light rail, all over the SF Bay Area, and I end up with entries for locations near transit centers frequently. The reason is, the vehicle legitimately stops there to await transfer passengers (sometimes for 10 to 15 minutes or more), or I'm waiting for a transfer myself to a different train/route/whatever. Sometimes the transit hubs are displayed properly, sometimes they are displayed as near by venues that I can then select the proper station from the list, but a lot of the time they just aren't options that are listed or known to the app.

The other issue that I have, which is even more esoteric and important to me, is that there's this game I play called Ingress. I walk around a lot of areas, hacking portals (you can read more about Ingress at ingress.com if you want to know about it), and sometimes wandering through out whole regions, stopping randomly, turning around and going back, walking circles, around blocks, driving loops, stopping out front of places for 5 to 10 minutes for in-game objectives, and the app really has a hard time dealing with this.

I have taken to renaming entries for my Ingress shenanigans to denote when I'm doing them, but, it really seems to confuse the app at times with regards to commute time, places I visit, etc. Sometimes, when I do it with in the confines of a park, it picks up that I'm at that park, which is great. But when I'm out in Temescal in Oakland, driving loops, it's just too big of an area for it to consider the same location, so I end up with multiple entries to edit every time I stop for a few on my farm route.

A delete option or something would be exceptionally useful for me, as would something (I really don't know what) that would handle "roaming" better, in that I'm not going from Point A to Point B, but wandering around an area playing Ingress for X minutes and/or hours, etc.

I also find that if I visit a specific place, and mark it appropriately in the app, stay there for an hour to eat, and then, go somewhere else, lets say a park, and then have dinner at the place next to the place I had lunch at, it will show that I visited the same place instead of giving me a 2nd entry. It groups the transactions together. Now, I know this is partly an accuracy thing, and I'm totally fine with manually altering the record to indicate the 2nd place next to the original. However because of the grouping up, I can't find a way to tell it "No, this 2nd visit was actually the place next to it. The third visit was the icecream shop across the street!" so instead it looks like I ate Mexican thrice in one day and my stomach is telling me "Nooooo!!!!!"
[Android Apps and Games] zoharby:
As I'm in charge of the algorithms behind the app, I'll try to answer your valid points. We're aware of them, but it's not always easy to address them...

The engine behind the app is tuned to detect and display any stay of 15 minutes in the same place, so the stops are sometimes detected as a visit. In the future we may try to improve the detection of public transportation use, so we may try to better include these stops as part of the transit.

Another point to improve in the future - try to better classify times when you're on the go. Instead of just labeling all as transit, we would try to classify walking, running, cycling, driving around, etc.

We're constantly working on improving the place grouping and venue detection, so hopefully this would gradually improve over time :)
[Android Apps and Games] lordgoata:
Quick question - if I arrive at location X and connect to its WiFi, does the app log me at being at that location irrespective of time ? If no, can that be changed (even optionally) - as when I connect to a WiFi network, I am at a location I want logged, even if its only 5 minutes (case in point at my train stations at either end of my commute, they have never yet been logged even when I am there for 10 minutes (and now I know why, due to the 15 minute requirement!) - but as I did stop there, I'd rather they were logged :)

One possible issue with that is mobile hotspots - obviously if you connect to one via WiFi but are moving around, then it wouldn't log the location correctly, so perhaps a black list for such SSID's would be required ?
[Android Apps and Games] PhaseBurn:
Thank you for the explanations and I hope that the feedback was valuable. While I appreciate the hard work you're putting into this, I also (being a developer myself) recognize the challenges of overcoming some of these specific issues. The last one, in particular, I am honestly not overly optimistic that you can solve in software. Picking up 10 feet of accuracy on every single Android phone is not feasible in every condition. Sometimes the venues are in an office building, which makes GPS useless, so aGPS and WiFi methods (which are not nearly that accurate) must be employed. Using only those, you will never be able to isolate the location of two venues right next to each other if they're only 15 feet wide. So while I fully admit that I do expect your venue detection to improve over time, yes, I don't see that as an end solution to that issue, and it shouldn't be dismissed as such. A method to break up wrongfully grouped venues is something that would help address this, though...
[Android Apps and Games] ultrawires:
Delete/Hide (as mentioned in several posts) and Add Current location could be considered.

Obviously both will take away the fully auto function/intent of the app but these interim functions may help in refining the algorithm, with info culled from the database.
