[HTC Droid DNA] Garmy:
Hey all,

My power button is broken. It was weak for a very long time and finally stopped responding entirely.

My battery drained and shut off on my way home from work.

How can I boot it back up?

I've got ADB/Fastboot and the phone's drivers installed. When the phone was on, ADB had no problem detecting it. But with the phone off, Windows says it's an unrecognized USB device, and ADB can't find the device.

Is there a way to get ADB to connect to the phone while it's powered off? Is there an alternate way to boot up my phone with neither the power button nor ADB?

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
With the phone off, when you plug it in to power or PC, it uses the recovery partition. Sounds like you have driver issues of it doesn't recognize. Hopefully you don't have TWRP, it would not accept adb reboot command for me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmtruppler:
Hey guys!

I'm currently using a xperia zl. I will get a new phone soon, and I really love the z3 compact.

There's only one thing that bothers me: the display resolution

Is it possible for a normal human being like me to see any difference between my current full hd reaolution and the z3c's hd?

I'm reading a lot on my phone, what about tiny little fonts?

I am also connecting my phone to my tv via mhl. Does the resolution of the phone's display affect the pictire on the tv?

Or am I just a victim of the full (or even quad) hd advertising campaign...? :D

Thanks for your opinion!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
No

Maybe...?

Yes

Yes you're being brainwashed by ads. Companies tend to go for higher and higher resolutions acting as if that really makes a phone better, but it doesn't. Why would such a small device need such a high resolution? It's not like we'll see the difference between 720p and 4k.

On a big screen (monitor) yes! On a phone, HELL NO... It will only deplete your battery faster.

About your TV resolution... well I think it depends how old your TV is. If my mind serves me right, TV's didn't had that great resolutions.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserX10:
No, you will notice no difference.

Also some big TV´s had in the past "only" 720p....

720p is full enough and will save the battery comparing to FullHD
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolmalayalee:
On a screen of this size I think even 720p is more than sufficient. Even on a 32" TV your naked eyes will not be able to differentiate 720p from 1080p from a certain distance. The advantage in terms of battery saving is huge and I really am happy that this phone came with only 720p.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stnly:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like everyone else said, 720p is just perfect for a phone of this size. 1080p or higher would has been an "overkill" at the expense of battery life.

As for the TV output it depends on the resolution/quality of the original content. If you are just generally mirroring your phone screen it will have a resolution of 720p on the TV (which itself is a very decent quality, most content on TV is 720p anyways). But playing back a high quality 1080p or 4K (the Sony Z3 Compact supports 4K video recording) video from phone, it will be displayed as Full HD on the TV.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fritsprive:
http://wolfcrow.com/blog/notes-by-dr-optoglass-the-resolution-of-the-human-eye/

The most important thing when talking about ppi and which no one of the marketing departments mentions of course, is the viewing distance.

This article is very clear, for a normal human eye 720p at a viewing distance of 30 cm which is quite normal for a phone is sufficient. So, 1080p is already for most of us overkill and everything above pure male cow excrement.;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drago10029:
No, No, & No lol. I enjoy that some companies are trying to get rid of this ridiculous trend (SONY, Motorola, etc.) I'm sure there are more trying to. We could probably have had 3-4 days battery by now if people weren't obsessed with buying into expensive power hungry components.

Guess ads are to blame too, thanks Samsung. Cough *Galaxy Notes -__- nothing wrong with a Note but the screen res is overkill to the max. Anyway rant done, enjoy your amazing battery life you buy it because you didn't get sucked into buying an unnecessary big display.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btrmpt:
Hi

In my opinion it's all about compromise and priorities. Personally I have just moved from an LG G3 (Quad HD display) to the Z3 Compact.

Side by side the LG G3 really looks the business - in fact it is startling. But, the Z3C has a good screen, is much more pocketable, has brilliant battery life (I used to carry a spare with the LG just in case though never actually needed it - came close though), and outdoors in bright sunlight the Sony is much better.

So for me the compromises favoured the Sony.

As ever it's just my opinion but I hope it helps
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sycoprince:
Hello guys...

We all know that a custom recovery is far more important thing i rooted phone. But since we're talking about mediatek,its hard to find a suitable recovery.

Now these days,its very easy to create CWM based recovery through Mtkdroidtools. But,CWM is quite a oldschool yo!! :D

But TWRP is awesome!! Cuz its touch based and far more easy to use...but its so hard to find mediatek TWRP,so this guide will be helpfull i guess!!

~~Requirements~~

1.A computer with Windows 7 32 bit

2.The stock recovery.img[it can be found in your phone's stock rom]

3.TWRP script>>

Download link>> htt p://www .me diafire.com/folder/ca6 n5bb8 ocu87/TWRP_an d_CWMR

Download "Port-TWRP-V2.4.4.0-MT6589.7z" file from that link!!!

Now extract that 7z file and put the folder in your computer's C:// drive.....and put your stock recovery.img in C:// too.

Now open That extracted folder and you'll see a .exe file. Run that file as administration and a command window will appear.

Now it'll ask you to put your recovery.img in C:// and that is already done. So press Enter and follow the next steps. It'll ask you too put your device's chipset,resolution....so enter correctly.

When it is all done, close that Window and you'll see a folder is created called "Ported TWRP" open it and you'll get your newly created TWRP recovery.img. Copy that in your sdcard and flash it via latest Mobile Uncle Tools and voila!! You'll be rebooted to your TWRP custom recovery!!!!!

N.B>> this process is only for mt6577,mt6589 and mt6575.

Hit thanks if you like it.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] surasitkan:
I have flash the CM10.1 rom ([ROM][JB 4.2.2][CM10.1] for Lenovo Ideapad K1 Wifi) for IdeaPad K1 by Nvflash and after reboot I have done as step below from step 5-8 and then go to recovery mode. And I have tried to do for step 9 by tried to select by move "Vol +/-" down to "Install Zip" and then tried select it by press "power" but can't. Because after press "power" the selector will go to first row"reboot system now". Look like I can't do anything because after press "power" it will back to first row "reboot system now" and can't selected.

5. Go to settings, Developer options and select Advanced reboot

7. connect your tablet to the pc and save gapps on your sd card. Or download gapps via liink.

8. Go in Recovery via long press of Power, and select "Reboot" then "Recovery"

9. Flash the gapps package that you downloaded in step 1.

Please help to advice, How I can select "install Zip" to install Gapps?:confused:
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jerryatherton:
You need to install Gapps while in Recovery.

Go into recovery.

Install ROM

Install gapps

Then

reboot out of recovery.

Make sure you have the gapps for 10.1

I love the design of this wonderful forum (xdaforums.com) and so I decided to create a theme for CM11 or AOSP Theme Engine.

I do not know whether you ponrav this idea, so this theme is not so much change. Look of your application, I almost did not change, there is a leash small changes. The main changes relate to the notification bar and system settings. I also included some of the icons and bootanimations of Android L.

If I see that my brainchild you like, I will be happy to supplement this topic and other applications.

Specifically for users of this forum, I post this theme for free.

But if you like my idea, you can support me and buy this theme in Google Play for a small price.

Hello,

I would need for a project the possibility, for sniffing packets from an App

without rooting

the phone.

First I thought, I could code a Proxy Server on my PC, but then I have seen, that when you want to use a Proxy for WiFi, only the browser, not the Apps use it on the phone :confused:

So the solution should look like following.

mobile device -------> PC (MitM) ---------> Internet

Its a kind of a man in the middle analysis.

The solution has to be transparent - the Internet Server shouldn`t realize that a PC is analyzing packets.

Packets should be forwarded 1:1 and just be copied away for later analysis.

The simpler the solution the better :D

Because VPN is integrated in Android.

Hey Guys!

So I recently got a SM Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE (p605) which had Android 4.3 on it. So then I rooted it using the CF/Odin Method (a link to one page describing this method here: ht tp:/ SLASH honai-android DOT blogspot DOT gr/2014/01/how-to-root-galaxy-note-101-2014-lte.html I can't post the link normally, not enough rep, but you guys can google it CF-Auto root) Afterwards I flashed 4.4 Stock Samsung Android on it, and realized I had to root it again, but I seem to get stuck in a bootloop as follows:

View attachment 2924040

The text in the upper left corner says:

RECOVERY BOOTING.....

RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warranty Bit: recovery

I can get out of it by flashing pretty much anything besides the root file on it, but the result is a non rooted tablet. I also couldn't find another rooting method for this device out there. Help pls? :cyclops:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kkafle:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 CDMA Verizon & GSM phone. Originally it was on android 4.1.2 and working fine for both CDMA and GSM (one at a time). CDMA EVDO Rev A data service was working fine.

I am using this phone in Nepal (not in USA). It was carrier unlocked for both CDMA & GSM when I purchased from Amazon. (so, I guess, Originally it may had some customized firmware/ROM for International use, I don’t have much idea).

I was asked for firmware upgrade every time when I run Samsung Kies. One day I clicked to upgrade the firmware. The upgrade was over successfully. But the new android version I found on my phone was 4.4.2.

In this version /new upgrade, I was unable to use CDMA data (EVDO-rev A). So I wanted to reverse back to old version. I search the process in Google and tried to load firmware with the help of Odin3 using this file:- “I535VRBMF1_I535VZWBMF1_VZW.zip”, but it was not successful. Result: Fail(Auth)

Then I loaded firmware for 4.4.2 using Odin3.09 (AP: “I535VRUDNE1_I535VZWDNE1_I535VRUDNE1_HOME.tar.md5”) and now the phone is working.

• If I use GSM SIM I can make call and use HSPA data service as well by adding new APN.

• If I use CDMA RUIM I can make call, BUT DATA SEVRICE using CDMA EVDO Rev A is NOT WORKING!! (I can not save APN in this case).

Now my issue is how to make CDMA EVDO data service working in my phone, because my basic requirement is to use this phone for CDMA service (voice + data).

I can edit the APN but when I click “Save”, nothing was saved. So I can not select APN for my carrier. I tried using APN Manager Pro too, here I can enter & enable the APN, but did not work. The phone is not able to dial the data access code #777 (verified from CDMA service provider side trace).

Can someone help me what I should do to make my phone working for CDMA data. My phone is rooted.

I guess it may work for CDMA data if I downgrade it to 4.3 or 4.1.2,

Can I do that. If so what are the procedures / steps. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pujan Shrestha:
My data worked this way

I think your problem is the region is not set Nepal...I installed dark jb rom in my phone and data was gone since then. Then I manually downloaded stock firmware and flashed through odin but still data wasnt working,nd while in recovery mode i saw region INS ie India. then something came in my mind and.. .I changed it to NPL and now i can use data in only sim 1 only not in both sims. So i also may need some help.

For you *#272*IMEI# . Use your phones IMEI number there (*#06#) . Select NPL region.

NOTE: It will hard format your phone installing required carrier apps, aps, bla bla and hope work on your phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kkafle:
I found that the hidden menu (& hence secret code dialing) was disabled in my phone. Following guides from Google search I enabled it. Now codes likes "*#06#",*#1111#", "*#0228#" etc are working, but "*#272*IMEI#" is not working. Any idea, why it is not working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] redusk:
Well, it looks to me as though you've locked your bootloader and are now stuck on 4.4.2. For some reason, Verizon forces Samsung to lock their bootloaders, which means we (the consumers) cannot install "custom" firmware on our devices (or downgrade).
