It's very tough and easy to clean i say:good:

before mine got a replacement digitizer for dead pixels, it's always naked for a month.

in and out of jeans pocket countless time, no scratch at all:fingers-crossed:

and about factory screen protector, i think it doesn't have any. from the looks of "lg g3 drop test" in youtube
[G3 General] doki81:
keys destroy only the size case and back..it wouldnt destroy the screen...dust and sand like particle kill the screen..

gorilla glass is harder than steel..but if you wipe it with a little tiny sand/rock...you will see how it destroy the screen :)

[HTC Butterfly S] TheCount91:
I know this has been raised several times already, but my problem seems a tiny bit different.

I haven't updated any software, wasn't even connected to WIFI when it happened. In the evening calls worked, woke up in the morning - they don't.

Happened around a month ago, on completely stock Sense 6 KK 4.4.2. HTC have since rolled out a mini update about a week or 2 later, hasn't helped. OTA doesn't install by default, in case you were wondering.

I've seen people saying they get no sound in calls, but it works on speaker or BT headset, or wired headset etc.

Nothing works for me. Tried connecting BT, headphones, headsets, removing SD cards, increasing in-call volume (duh)..

Calls connect with no problems, reception is full, either GSM or HSPA, no sound received or sent.

Dialing numbers in call does go through, though :eek:.

I tried soft reset, hard reset, mediocre reset, factory reset

I've even unlocked bootloader through HTCDEV, rooted, flashed several custom roms and kernels (MaximusHD13, InsertCoin 2.4.0, InsertCoin 3.0.6, Falter1.1 kernel, Project Era, Monarudo M7 Port, and so on...)

Of course, fully wiping EVERYTHING between attempts.

Failed to S-OFF so far.. both firewater and rumrunner.

Lets see what else..

I have the 901S variant. 044 if I'm not mistaken

Here's my bootloader:

*** TAMPERED ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

DLXP_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH

HBOOT-1.57.0000

OS-4.10.7007.2

eMMC-boot 2048MB

Hell, I've even tried contacting HTC but their chat doesn't work for me, sending email through the site just loads forever and sending a regular email got no response.

I ordered the phone from Singapore, and I live in the middle east. So local support is out of the question for me...

The only thing I have yet to try is getting another sim in this phone or my sim in another phone, but I can't seem to find anyone with a micro sim :(

Thus, I resort to asking you guys for help.

HELP!!:crying::crying:

P.S. The hardware works fine. Ran safe mode, hidden tests, skype calls. Everything works, other than sound in phone calls (even in safe mode).
[HTC Butterfly S] TheCount91:
bump? anyone?
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
Go back to stock Rom the kernel is the problem so restore your backup
[HTC Butterfly S] TheCount91:
The problem started when I was completely stock and unrooted, how is going back to stock gonna solve this?

Also, a new problem showed up a couple of days ago.

Now the phone tells me I have no sim card installed, and restarting/airplane mode don't help.

Tried reflashing several different roms and kernels, nothing.

Tried taping some transparent tape to the back of the sim to make it press better against the contacts, nothing.

I really loved this phone until now, but it's become impossible to use.
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
You need a stock kernel
[HTC Butterfly S] TheCount91:
Flashed a stock rom, still can't see sim card.
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
My guess is that your best bet is to send it to a HTC service center. The problem with the SIM reader sounds like a hardware issue to me. The no sound problem may be caused by radio or whatever. We can't do anything better than to guess here since it appears noone has encountered a similar problem around here.
[HTC Butterfly S] TheCount91:
htc said I need to send it to Singapore, since it's their model.

It's still on warranty, but I can't s-off it to reset the tempered flag...

AVD create error

plz help me, how can create offline ( some time i have no internet)
[Xperia Z General] vkass:
Both for [LB] and [UB]

Here's a quick way to boost Z's performance so its on par with the Z1, including the graphics performance.

1. Change resolution to 720p - personaly i dont see any difference between 1080p and 720p, even if there is the huge performance boost is worth it.

A. -Go to build.prop and change density to 320

***Make sure you change DPI in the build prop and not with ADB or other apps***

***When using ADB the change is made while booting and leads to issues***

B. -Connect to pc with debugging on, in adb -> adb shell wm size 720x1280 ->reboot

It will look weird before the reboot, if still looks weird try "adb shell wm size 1280x720"

Use adb for the resolution and not terminal emulator, if anything goes wrong you can revert to stock with adb easily

2. Freeze apps

Thats what I froze, if youre using any of the apps obviously leave them out

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2he9q5ce1ogfpuc/AAA1BPe12s38KxGeSkz89XYca?dl=0

Optional but recommended:

-Seeder with all options on and light profile

-Greenify donate - this way you have notifications from whatsapp etc without it running all the time

-Disable animations, use AOSP lock screen to get rid of black wallpaper bug -> browse to system\app find Xperialockscreen.apk and change to Xperialockscreen.apkk

-Nova launcher

-In apn settings dont use proxy for apn or mms -> this way you dont have ads if you use adblock

https://www.dropbox.com/s/mqb39omd5n35mqw/Screenshot_2014-08-28-16-12-38.png?dl=0

-Disable service from play store - disable "NlpLocationReceiverService" in play services

Results:

sms\whatsapp, a couple calls, 12 min of NFS, 10 min gps, some browsing

I'm using stock kernel cause of locked BL, its gonna be much better with gpu OC

Zero lags and AOSP like performance in setting menu

Revert to stock

1. Go to build.prop and change density to 480

2. Connect to pc with debugging on, in adb -> adb shell wm size 1080x1920 ->reboot (it will look weird before the reboot, if still looks weird try

"adb shell wm size 1920x1080")

Use adb for the resolution and not terminal emulator, if anything goes wrong you can revert to stock with adb easily
[Xperia Z General] -woczarder-:
I don't see any difference between 720p and 1080p too. More and more pixels on a screen is useless *cough*2K display*cough*
[Xperia Z General] vkass:
yeah especially from a distance when watching movies, progress is good and we have the option to reduce the resolution for better performance, so we really shouldnt complain.

But lets not turn this thread into resolution wars
[Xperia Z General] Felimenta97:
I don't know about the adb shell thing, but changing density DOES NOT change screen resolution. It just changes the density of the elements rendered in the screen.

Thats what the adb shell thing is for

excuse me, how can I change screen resolution in adb ? :confused:

my device is enabled debugging mode and I tried to access adb by cmd.

I typed " adb shell wm size 720x1280" and then "adb reboot"

But when my phone rebooted,no anything changed.

my device's information : c6603 - JB 4.3 10.4.1.B.0.101 (eXistenZ v7) - unlocked bootloader

apologize for my poor english.

Thank you very much :)
[Xperia Z General] vkass:
[MENTION=6011202]quadraiser[/MENTION] if you changed DPI it should look like nothing changed.

Check antutu benchmark device info see what it says about screen resolution

would this also positively affect battery life?
[Xperia Z General] sonconvn:

[Xperia Z General] sontran_vietnam:

[Xperia Z General] vkass:
[MENTION=939280]Incanity[/MENTION] [MENTION=5987245]sonconvn[/MENTION]

720p is easier on the cpu\gpu so you get better battery life, I defiantly noticed an increase in battery life

[MENTION=5942160]sontran_vietnam[/MENTION]

Change to 400 and its going to be all big and ugly

You can change with "adb shell density *value*" to see what it looks like, but make sure you change it in the build.prop as well when you decide whats best for you.

Xperia home doesnt work well with anything but stock density 1080p->480, 720p->320

[MENTION=2902434]Pandemic[/MENTION]

Saw your post before you edited :)

All stock roms are basically the same, I like the extra options in settings menu (appops\auto starts) and theming he has done
[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
You recommend Xposed, but it slows down the system, also you can simply rename the stock lockscreen.apk to get AOSP lockscreen.
[Xperia Z General] vkass:
[MENTION=5243932]Tommy-Geenexus[/MENTION]

Didnt know about the lockscreen, thanks.

I dont see much of a slow down with xposed, besides gravity box is awesome
[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
May be, but its a fact that xposed as well as any theme engine will slow down the phone.
[Xperia Z General] vkass:
[MENTION=5243932]Tommy-Geenexus[/MENTION]

Try 720p without xposed and then with xposed, I dont see any difference and the phone is super fast
[Xperia Z General] quadraiser:
Oh sorry it's my fault. I didn't told my problem clearly.

I means it's no anything changed since I change DPI.

It still has 1920x1080 resolution with 320 DPI. Icon and text are small.

I can change DPI successulfully but I think my problem is changing screen resolution in adb. :(

I changed DPI in build.prop to 320 and reboot my phone. When my phone started up it have small text and icon.

Then I downloaded sdk from developer.android.com/sdk

and ran adb in 'platform-tools' folder via cmd. I plugged the phone to computer and typed "adb shell wm size 720x1280" and press Enter. It showed me a lot of text.

Finally I typed "adb reboot". My phone was rebooted but it still have small text and icon.

which step that I wrong :confused:

Thank you very much :)
[Xperia Z General] Incanity:
if ADB shows you alot of text, that means that ADB.exe has been started, but doesn't actually do anything. It only shows what it can do. Did you have Android Debugging enabled?
[Xperia Z General] quadraiser:
Yes,I have Android Debugging enabled.

I have cmd's window picture and my phone's screen picture below the post.

[Xperia Z General] Incanity:
are you by any chance running windows 8.1?
[Xperia Z General] quadraiser:
Yes,I use windows 8.1

Does it have effect on adb?? :eek::confused:
[Xperia Z General] Incanity:
yes. windows 8 has trouble recognizing ADB drivers. You need to reboot windows 8 with the driver signature verification off, and install the drivers for ADB, found here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/94bbd7n61jgee7f/drivers.exe?dl=0

unpack the drivers exe, and go to device manager. There you'll see your C6603 with a small yellow exclamation mark.

Try and update the drivers, and point the wizard to the extracted driver files. Remember, for this, you need to disable driver signature enforcement.

If you need any more information about that, here's a site that might help:

Suggest about DPI.. Set 320 dpi for build.prop

and then use App Setting, set your home to this value :

Ta-Da..

no more small text or icon plus you got T2 Ultra UI for your phone..

You can try on other apps, for camera i set it to default, 854x480 and 480dpi to get stock look (big button)

don't try to SystemUI because i have try once and my phone got unstoppable systemUI FC's.

The difference in the scores are pretty small, and I expect and lag to be removed in the new release (doesn't mean it will be removed, but until I see otherwise I expect it to). Unless this gives a large battery boost its not worth bothering, if it does give a large boost I would give it a try.

Yeah thats why I said it's weird, with 320 dpi it shouldnt look that small, try checking resolution with antutu
[Xperia Z General] daniLaLaLaLaLa:
i know what you mean, u mean it should be small like this right?

I attach my setting screenshot since i'm not modded my setting DPI..

for strong evidence.. see my statusbar above.. it's have the same size with my home isn't it..

and for stock home.. Spaces for widgets is 4x4 but mine got 4x5..

nothing to weird buddy, i mod my home DPI to 350dpi 854x480 size with App Setting.. that's why it look like that.. If my home unmodded, icon pretty small for 5inch phone..

btw, is your antutu show u got 1280x720? if yes.. Tell me what do i miss.. Because my antutu still show 1920x1080 although dpi decreased from 480 to 320.

for those of us that are not confident in using ADB, this is what I did, note you need to be rooted. I haven't tested for results though.

1. download and install NOMone resolution changer from the play store.

2. download and install Screen Resolution & Density from the play store.

3. open Nomone resolution changer (allow supersu)

4. enter the following - width = 720 height = 1280 dpi = 320

5. press apply, screen will change...select yes.... then select yes please.

6. reboot phone.

7. launch Screen Resolution & Density and check results.

Is dpi changed in build prop or through adb or some other app?

It needs to be changed through build prop cause when you use adb it changes it during boot.

You will not be able to downgrade.

You can either root it and use a custom recovery to flash a custom 4.3 Rom, or use nextapp as card fix from the play store if you prefer to stay on stock 4.4.2. To get back permission to write on the external card you will have to have root access.
