So after installing it and changing the APN to work my carrier Virgin Mobile, i notice that when i swipe down, it keeps saying Sprint and not virgin mobile and it also says that on the lock screen. Is there any way for me to fix it to say Virgin Mobile as my carrier instead of Sprint?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndyYan:
Changing carrier texts? Googling should show some results (I've had some working back in the Gingerbread era).

Put this in /data, change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot. Extracted this from my cricket fix zip here on XDA (called KJIG), modified to show Virgin Mobile.

Does anyone have a set of ear buds with a iOS remote on them that they can plug into the G3 and see if the remote works. I have read that some android phones, including a few made by LG are compatible with the iOS remote. Anyone care try it out for me?

My wife gets killer discounts on AKG products. They make a pair of reference class ear buds (K3003i) that retail for over $1000. I can get them for....well, I can get them really cheap, however the only model I can get is the iOS model. I don't want to spend the money though if they will not work. They say that you can get a adapter to go from 4 pole to 3 pole male 3.5mm plug, but do the buttons still work?
[G3 Accessories] xgritzx:
the play pause works using my stock iP4 headphones with my G3 and S4 but the volume up/down and double clicks ect do not.
[G3 Accessories] Pilz:
I have Bose freestyle ear buds and the volume rockers don't work in android, but the play/ pause button does. It also bring up google now. IOS remotes use a different resistor combination so that's why the volume rockers don't work.
[G3 Accessories] jtemple42000:
Thanks for the info....

It'd be nice if I could get all the buttons to work properly. They sell a version that works with android, but for some reason, that version is not offered on her employee discount webpage. I've seen that the control can be taken apart and different resistors soldered in, but I'm really not fond of the idea of peeling apart a pair of $1300 ear buds, whether I paid a fraction of what they cost or not.

I don't know if one have had this problem or it has been answered already but I updated my t-mobile note 3 to the current baseband version nf4 I got my phone rooted but now I can't get a custom recovery on it every time I try my phone go into a boot loop any help would be appreciated
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: custom recovery

Give TWRP custom recovery a try, it works great!

Here is the direct download link for the N900T Note 3 TWRP:

Flash it using Odin.

Here is the direct download link for Odin, a Windows application

Guys, can we increase framerates when disabling vsync in our g2? I have read that disabling vsync increases framerates. And also enbling force gpu renderring in developers option increases performance too. Feedback please.
[G2 General] Saythis:
Forcing 2D GPU Rendering really only did anything back in ICS when only a faction of Android was GPU Accelerated. Now a vast majority of Android is in fact GPU Accelerated so it typically won't do anything to enable or disable it on modern phones.
[G2 General] Makrilli:
About vsync, all mobile devices displays (except from one which was released by a chinese company just a week ago, does 120 hz) do 60 hz.

Vsync caps your framerates to 60 fps so disabling it would only cause screen tearing and battery drain as gpu would render more frames than necessary.

Sent from my LG G2 D802
[G2 General] jefbeck:
So we can get more than 60fps if we disable it?
[G2 General] Saythis:
Only 60 fps is displayed because the refresh rate is 60hz. So disabling it will have no effect.
[G2 General] jefbeck:
But why are we getting more than 60fps during benchmarks?
[G2 General] EniGmA1987:
There should be flags that can be called by app developers to specifically turn off vsync in an app when it is in the foreground. Benchmark apps should be using this because so many devices can max the 60fps limit that they need to unlock the fps by turning off vsync so that performance can be properly measured. There is a way to turn it off in the general Android launcher UI too, but again, it would be pointless and make things less smooth. Vsync is a good thing.
[G2 General] jefbeck:
Thanks. This makes sense.
[Moto X Q&A] Phenomenal3D:
So I've been having some issues with my Moto lately. I have had it sitting around because I was to lazy to fix it. Anyway, my main problem is that I can't add my google account and I can't install any roms. For my google account, I always get the error " There was a problem communicating with google servers." I've tried the 2 step verification thing but I don't have 2 step on. Also when I try to add a new rom, I get the error, "Can't install this package on top of.." and the rest tuns off the box. Any ideas?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
I have no idea what you are doing "trying to add a new rom" but you appear to be doing it wrong. You don't "add a new rom" - you flash ROMs and you don't do it from the device itself - a PC is required (unless you are using TWRP custom recovery).

I suggest trying a factory reset from the settings menu.

If that doesn't solve your problem, follow the instructions in the "Return to 100% Stock" thread in the general sub-forum to flash the entire stock SBF for your carrier. DO NOT DOWNGRADE or you will brick. Be sure to only flash the same version you are on, or higher.

Everything you need is linked in that thread including all tools, drivers, and links to the firmware files themselves. Remember to back up anything important first (pictures, music, etc.)...this WILL erase everything. Everything should work perfectly afterwards.

Good Luck.

Storyline:

As General Harris and the Empire travel across galaxies to help every living creature and to ensure order. The Empire encounters the aliens and the hybrids. Aliens are dumb-like species that spread rapidly around galaxies. Eating planets consuming galaxies is the only thing that they know. Hybrids, on the other hand, are aliens with human-like features who invented the EWA (Extreme Weapon Arm) which the Empire studied and copied its architecture and mechanism. We aren't really sure what Hybrids are really up to.

Gameplay:

Side scrolling shooter game. You will play as Gen. Harris and start off as a gunship. Your gunship evolves if you capture powerups(yellow boxes), and turns into an EWA on its last evolution. Aside from abolishing bad guys you will also have to defend your mothership. Without the mothership the game is over. But dont worry you are not alone in the battlefield, you can deploy defensive units which makes the game also an RTS.

Hello guys, version 1.8 will be available in few hours from now and i would like to apologize regarding the previous version. Please bare with me since the game is still on Beta test

-and more features that you will surely enjoy!

I have some advices for your good game:

1) Together with big ADs banner my screen start flashing.

2) Some textures (explosion animation, big bullets) are not transparent and i can see texture borders - this is not critical, but can increase graphical attractive.

3) Exit button very small - i found it after continious searching.

4) How can i select stages if i want to go back?

Good luck.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Xperia Z2 General] hpl912:
So far though not official yet, according to GSMarena, the specs doesn't look too good at least for me to upgrade to the Z3. Base hardwarewise is basically the same... kind of dissapointed me

Unless they put some significant changes as Z1->Z2, i think this time i won't upgrade but maybe wait for the Z4

No, I'm under contract for two years so no way.
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Nope, wait for Z4 with Android L
[Xperia Z2 General] sofia-captivate:
What's android L
[Xperia Z2 General] Die Bruine:
I probably will trade in my Z2 for a Z3 compact. That was the idea from the beginning. Needed a new phone but couldn't wait. So I bought the Z2 hoping by the time the Z3 got released someone would want to trade. And if not. Maybe I'll keep the Z2 or maybe I'll sell it and get the Z3c myself.

But a normal Z2 to Z3, nah for what!? My only problem with phones nowadays is the size. Way too large for normal use IMHO.
[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
Next version of Android.
[Xperia Z2 General] ajai_dev:
After the Z2/M8 I would get something with UHD not QHD and with 5.5-5.7inch screen without much bezel. The 805 is only good in the GPU department and even then 1440p/420 is equal to 1080p/330. So my next phone might be iPhone 7 or Z5-Z7 :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Erik1805:
Nope, Z2 is a very good phone for me. Z3 has not much extra's
[Xperia Z2 General] [kEkA]:
My thoughts are exactly the same, if I gonna switch it, it's gonna be for z3 compact only,

but not sure yet, have to see what does z3c offers over z2 except size-wise
[Xperia Z2 General] djpharoah:
With Sony's 6 month release cycle it's pretty hard to keep up especially if they are just making nominal and incremental changes. If they go with the 2k screen they better up the batter from the z2.

I'm going to be staying with the z2. Just found it after almost the entire year trying out other phones and I'm loving it.

Sent from my Purple Drank Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] ravdo:
Nope.

Only slightly faster CPU and uglier design IMO (love the design of stereo speakers and LED notification of Z2)

This time, no.

It's almost the same phone...

[Xperia Z2 General] tomo100brt:
No Z3 for me if there is nothing new. For now Z2 has better design.
[Xperia Z2 General] cr0wnest:
Not at all, mainly because right now I'm more keen to switch back to a Nexus device, and also the improvements from Z2 to Z3 shouldnt be too great a reason to make the upgrade.
[Xperia Z2 General] sarobi:
IMHO, Z3 is mainly meant for "new" buyers that are coming from older Sony (Sony Ericsson) devices or other brands and they are intend to buy a flag ship this autumn/winter.

Of course, also those ones who must have the latest and newest are welcome :)
[Xperia Z2 General] royukp1:
I'm staying with z2 for awhile
[Xperia Z2 General] jonmorris:
There hasn't been as much in the way of leaks as previous devices. I can only hope there's some amazing improvement we've not been told about.

Because for now it seems that it might be a bit more rounded at the edges, maybe have a smaller bezel and that's about it.

Wireless charging would be nice as a new addition, but otherwise what could a Z2 possibly get that would make a swap worthwhile?

I realise I said that with the Z2 over the Z1 but it turned out the screen was a lot better, physically bigger and the front facing speakers a massive leap. So all the must have changes have already happened.
[Xperia Z2 General] methodz:
This!

Actually if one year from now and still not much has changed I'd even stay put then. There aren't many phones that appeal to me like the Z2. It's downright sexy, screen is now tolerable with the viewing angles and it is just the right size for me. All I would personally change is either 32/64 internal as my games are a few gigs and an amoled screen. I just got too used to the oversaturation of them.
[Xperia Z2 General] kumbangdesa:
Nope. I think no major changes in Z3.
[Xperia Z2 General] DrearierJester1:
Personally I won't upgrade my Z2 to Z3, maybe Z4 next year or some other else flagship, HTC M9 or iPhone 6.
[Xperia Z2 General] Mr.R™:
I wont and my next phone will probably not be a Sony, a 6 month upgrade cycle is unacceptable
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
No, and I don't think they expect anybody to. It's just a model refresh so it seems that Sony is newer than everything else on the shelf.
[Xperia Z2 General] apollostees:
No,

There are many things that I dislike about the Z2, so it's highly unlikely that I'll even stick to Sony.
[Xperia Z2 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
I`m the opposite, I like 5.5" screen size, I`m use to the bigger phones and with my big meat claws the bigger phones work great with my hands:o., so I would like to see 5.5" screen on the next Z
[Xperia Z2 General] popcity:
Not enough to warrant an upgrade, Z1 to Z2 was enough for me..
[Xperia Z2 General] lyubor:
Not even gonna consider the Z3. I'm perfectly happy with the Z2, it's a beast. I'm getting a Nexus 5 delivered next week so that'll probably be my 'camping android L' device.
[Xperia Z2 General] izeex:
maybe

if it worth the change
[Xperia Z2 General] bluheart:
No for Z3, yes for Z5, maybe.
[Xperia Z2 General] Xaroc8:
Very happy with my Z2, and the Z3 seems to offer a ever so slightly enhancement which doesn't anywhere near justify an upgrade.

I also bought the 2 year Sony Care warranty on my Z2, so I'm holding out for the long run.

I don't think the Mobile industry can really push much farther than it already is. Our phones are already able to run games that are near console quality in graphics, and multitask extremely well. I feel it's all going to come to user experience soon, and not just about raw power, as we've seem to be capped out for the moment in my eyes.
[Xperia Z2 General] nhuduy:
i will buy Z2 when Sony have a Z3.
[Xperia Z2 General] kylecummins:

I probably will however with this level of tech skiping some flagships is not a big deal. I skipped Z1 and went from Z -> Z2.

No problems.
[Xperia Z2 General] maxx880:
With the rumors of Sony replacing the Purple version with a Bronze color I will not be upgrading from the Z2 to the Z3. The Spec gains are minimal and the Purple on the Z2 is beautiful. Hopefully Sony didn't faze out the Purple color going forward in favor of the bronze color.

I am awaiting a replacement of the Xperia Z Ultra...I still find myself swapping SIMs back and forth between the Z2 and Z Ultra...Just wish the Z Ultra had the same camera as the Z2.
[Xperia Z2 General] fredriks:
I will probably change my Z2 and go with a Z3, maybe not on the release but in the near future.

If you compare Z1 and Z2 you can choose Z2 to buy or upgrade at least because of better display or 3GB RAM

But in my opinion Z3 is just Z2 maybe with no delay for markets ;)

:good:
[Xperia Z2 General] GiRARDsays:
I just picked up my Black Z2 from The Sony Store here in San Diego over the holiday weekend. I knew the Z3 would be officially announced this week, but who knows when it would officially be available through official channels here in the US. That's why I decided to just pick up a Z2. The Z3 is still on my list of things to buy, but only once it becomes available through US Sony Store locations. Although the Z3 may be available through overseas retailers before it's available officially in the US, I personally prefer waiting just to make sure if a warranty issue was to arise, I'd have peace of mind knowing I'll have minimal issues with claiming anything.
[Xperia Z2 General] effective:
In my opinion the design of the Z2 is cooler than the Z3.+ its only a slight hardware boost and a sensor ISO boost.Nothing that can draw my attention.
[Xperia Z2 General] 10123:
I'd agree about it not been particularly worth the upgrade form the Z2

But the copper color is no nice that I'm gonna cave in and get one.
[Xperia Z2 General] sfex3best:
I agree with effective. The z3 actually looks uglier if all the leaked stuff is true. Also a decrease in battery? What is sony thinking?

I'm hoping it's slightly better than this.
[Xperia Z2 General] styxter:
Love the new copper but it doesn't convinced my decision for going to z3. Economically wise one year turn around is good enough for me. Im satisfied enough from my z2. The only complain here is sun light legibility its slightly dim hope they can do something about this. If they can do something about the increased in sun light legibility without adjusting brightness I think it will be very useful in terms of camera performance and battery life.
[Xperia Z2 General] kaozgamer:
Probably not but I hope that someone will be able to port the z3's ps4 remote play to the z2
[Xperia Z2 General] chaud:
Hopefully new features such as the Hi-Res Audio playback and the DSEE HX audio upscaling features will come to the Xperia Z2 eventually ?

slightly OT: I've wanted the Z2 but haven't shelled out the money for it yet. The Z3 looks to be my next phone. Having never owned a Sony phone, how are they on software updates (granted, it depends on the carriers too)? Would L come sooner / later / same time as other flagships (based on previous releases)? TIA :good:
[Xperia Z2 General] aggieman:
Perfectly happy with my white Z2 but if the Z3 has Tmo 700mhz/band 12 I will definitely get it. I can't find a thing wrong with the Z2 but Tmo high frequency bands do not allow for good reception in my office. This would be the only thing compelling enough to make me switch.
[Xperia Z2 General] Jhon998:
I would not switch from my Z2 to the Z3 because it perfectly operates and everything is just fine, not like the Z1 to the Z2 hence it had some problems but this Z2 is going to have another 6 months to think about changing it...
[Xperia Z2 General] doministry:
Actually the Copper looks tremendous!!!!
[Xperia Z2 General] maxx880:
Eh It doesn't do anything for me. I really like the Purple on the Z2. I'll stick it out and see what the Z4 or rumored Z3X brings to the table. Hopefully Sony brings Purple back to those devices.
[Xperia Z2 General] gibbo82:
Why are Sony doing this to us? Do they think we are made of money?. Only had my z2 for just over a month, and I'm annoyed! Bringing out the z3 in the same year as the z2! Jokers
[Xperia Z2 General] RalphLauren:
Sony has 6 months update cycle started with the first Xperia Z: Z and Z1 in 2013 , Z2 and Z3 in 2014.

Buying your Z2 you perfectly knew that in few months will be an update.

So why crying and complaining.

Personally I will stay with my Z2 simply because I do not find Z3 worth to upgrade:

+ a bit higher clocked CPU

+ a bit thinner

+ new trendy colors

- deteriorated tiny speakers

=======================

SUM: worth a glimpse, but not more
[Xperia Z2 General] adamsmth663:
I bought the z, z1, and z2 all

within 18 months, i felt there was an upgrade

This time i cant justify it.

I really like the z2, so im going to wait for the z4 or z5.

The next xperia phone should have 64 bit snapdragon 810, 4gb ram, quadhd screen and probably 3500+ mAh battery for me to update
[Xperia Z2 General] Galinha1:
Maybe Sony is doing like the old days , when you want a newer software you had to buy a new phone.. So if you want 4.4.4 , get the new phone. ..:cyclops::cyclops: LOL , i kid, but i'm a little sad that they make all the efford to make a 6 month realease and don't keep up with the software updates.

Well, i'm thinking of buying the Z3, but depends on how long will take to hit the stores, and nothing nicer show up. The specs and minor changes will not justify the upgrade from Z2, i would not recomend it for my friends, i will upgrade just beacause it seems to have a better grip and maybe i will try that silver green. Let's see the battery size and screen quality on moto x+ tomorrow.. coz the Note 4 or Note 4 Edge is not for me.
