:S

after a week of checking pics and hands-on video, i'm pretty sure it's official: SONY GIVES UP LANYARD

:/

So sad, i don't get it, i'm paragliding with my phone, do you think i'll get a call in the air without any wristlet?

Your device si 1-m waterproof, do you think we'll play with it in the water without a lanyard?

C'mon sony, you were the last to think about it...c'mon, what does it cost, just a little all.... c'mon c'mon

So sad :(

There is definitely a lanyard hole in the Z3, I can add a photo. But it's definitely there. And it's no demo device...

Retail device from the german carrier "Congstar". Should be added to the OP :)

Glad to find this thread....

In fact I was prepared to drop Sony (well... maybe)..

I have to have stuff around my phone - a good screenprotector and a lanyard and I'm ready :)

(Now we almost only need 32gb+ and IR in them too (use a movie app where dl only is to internal sd :( )

hi,

can you tell me where did you buy your lanyard ?

thank you.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebi673:
Thank you very much :D

Coming from Xperia Z the lanyard is a huge deal... if i hadn't have that strap my phone would be dead and even 7 cat's lives wouldnt been enough for the amount of time I almost dropped it :D

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HansiHusten:
Hey there,

I own the OPO now some days and my GF tried to phone me just some minutes ago and was not able to catch me as the system told her that I am currently not available.

Usually I should be reachable as the phone is online and has three bars signal strength and if I really wasn't reachable I should get a text message telling me that number 123456789 tried to reach me.

So she called on the land line and told me this. I immediately called myself from landline and the call arrived.. strange thing is that at this moment the text message arrived, about 5 minutes later.. Running 33R. Did a reboot now but still gives me a very strange feeling.. I think the phone was in DeepSleep but it didnt wake up..

Any one had this issue before? Any chance I can run some kind of diagnostic?

--edit--

Rebooted right now, called me again with signal there. Call did not arrive on phone but text message did... wtf?

And again rebooted and not reachable... ??

Another reboot and I am reachable... holy moly..

I love this colour so it is the only one I'll ever work on, if someone wants to colourize every modified png then feel free, all I ask is that you post your work back here in this thread and I'll happily add it to the OP. I appreciate many of you use tabs in your notification window, I don't, so you will either need to sacrifice them or modify your own SystemUI which I will happily assist you with where needed.​

...from the ids.xml in the values folder. You can grab a folder with everything you need to be able to mod from [Guide/Reference] The Basic APK & Theming Thread...

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoachForLife:
Ive been having this issue forever and its driving me nuts. On my Note 3, I tend to Chromecast my Google Music streams to my AVR to jam out and when the screen turns off it wont advance to the next song. After extensive research I believe this is device specific and nothing to do with the chromecast itself. I tried my other 2 Chromecasts and all have the same issue. Also I tried on my Nexus 7 and no problems. Anyways, it seems as though the wifi is going to sleep (even if just for a second) when the screen goes off, and basically the chromecast doesnt know to continue playing. If I am using the Note 3 and the screen never sleeps, or I use SecureSettings to make it so the screen doesnt shut off while charging, everything is perfect.

I also found that even though in my settings (wifi set to never go to sleep) that going into the Service Mode (##0011#) or something like that, that it was still set to ON, so naturally I turned this OFF. At first it seemed like that fixed the problem but sure enough it came back. I should also note I recently picked up a Netgear R7000 and put DDWRT on it. The unit is 20 ft from the chromecast so Im not worried about that side of things.

Just annoying as hell. Any insight is appreciated

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] su_haris:
For those that don't know what Evervolv is, Evervolv is an AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROM.

We're fully open sourced and encourage it with no restrictions. The work put into this rom is community driven and and Evervolv Project is made up of numerous members and contributors.

Our rom includes all the basics:

Extended PowerMenu

Battery %,

Volume button music control.

Trackball Wake

Theme manager

Unique additions include:

sixbar signal strength

lockscreen dialpad, and a few lockscreen mods

However our biggest feature is the ability to turn all

that off with one switch in the toolbox, giving you

100% aosp look and feel.

We also do eng builds (instead of userdebug like

everyone else) providing more open experience (ie adb

root by default) and full complement of commandline

tools (busybox, vim, ssh, curl/wet with ssl support!)

Our newest addition is a custom updater written from

scratch by Preludedrew and myself, featuring

automatic update checks, support for downloading

gapps, and advanced automatic install (TWRP and

CWM supported but TWRP prefered)

What's working

-All what's needed!

Its v10! Keep in mind, all JB4.1.2 ROMs use v10 baseband :)

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] bruno.stargate:
I'm sorry for asking this stupid question, i am on the official 4.1.2, do i need to flash a v10 baseband first?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] Antonio Almeida Filho:
Yes, because this ROM is PORTED from L7 using CM10 as base (correct me if I'm wrong). CM10 uses v10 baseband. We conclude that the Evervolv 4.1.2 uses v10 baseband also...

Although the stock ROM Jelly Bean uses v20 baseband, ROMs that are not based on the Stock Jelly Bean and has the Android version equal to or less current than 4.1.2 use v10 baseband. The stock Ice Cream also uses v10 baseband.

I hope you understand, because I'm using Google translator hahahahaha

I can't connect the phone to the PC via USB and sometimes his microphone doesn't work while he is making a call or receiving one. I was loving the ROM, it is very fast and smooth but the microphone bug it's very annoying.

EDIT: When you are charging the phone, it doesn't show that, you only know that because the % of the battery increases

Ok i have tried to de brand the firmware worked but still said the OLD CSC

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russ18uk:
Flash unbranded firmware in Odin, until auto reboot, go into recovery and factory reset. Backup all your important data first, though!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Unfortunately you didn't provide any information about your situation making it impossible to tell if the majority of possible options would be viable in your case. You didn't even tell us which S5 model, firmware version or carrier you have, let alone anything else.

Given the lack of crucial details, all I can suggest is that you look at debloating threads or consider installing a custom ROM.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Northern.dj:
The S5 Model is SM-G900F

the Carrier is Vodafone

and they have just rolled out another 4.4.2 Variation and its not on sammobile yet

just dumps more apps eg the RCS

why the XDA CSC changer will not help is strange as it has on other phones

I don't want a custom rom on as I am passing this down to my son so I don't want super user root on
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Then use Odin to install the generic 900F European Open firmware, which is unbranded.

If you have any ongoing issues, backup any files important to you and do a factory data reset as well.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turborrr:
Hello,

Rather than start a new thread, I think I might get help here. I'll also say sorry in advance since I have searched through almost the entire forum since last Thrusday, but havent figured out how to fix this.

I have a carrier unlocked G900F (CSC:XFV, South Africa, using latest ANG2 FW) with Vodacom branding. No amount of data resets and flashing with the generic BTU firmware seems to remove the Vodacom boot animations and its bloatware.

Some facts:

(1) The boot and shut down animation seem hardcoded or deodexed or something in the nand. I have tried replacing the files in the system/media folder but no avail. Using offshelf programs was no help.

(2) The Vodacom bloatware deleted with Titanium Backup comes back with with every flash, data or cache reset.

(3) I am already rooted using the Towelroot method and Knox is 0x0.

(A) Is there a way to permanently clean up the above and start off with a fresh clean phone?

(B) Can a 'generic' bootloader be flashed through Odin?

Again I apologize for hogging the thread.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
It's customary to start your own thread, rather than piggyback or hijack someone else's. And you should probably do that if you have any follow up questions.

The boot animations are not hard coded and there are a number of existing threads that elaborate on the format. The files are in /system/media e.g. bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, shutdown.qmg. You said that you replaced the files here, but unfortunately gave no specifics or details thereof, making it impossible to discern where you went awry. Perhaps you have a cached copy extant. Try booting to recovery mode and wipe the system cache. In the alternative, did you install any utilities or a custom kernel that may be using the generic Android bootanimation.zip format, instead of the default Samsung .qmg?

Bloatware is a plague. Most firmware, including multi-CSC and probably Open_Eur (ope) (unconfirmed) have carrier specific apps and bloatware. In multi-CSC configurations the apps are triggered by your CSC sales code. you can either change your CSC or simply freeze or debloat your ROM by renaming, moving or deleteing bloatware apps. Or migrate to a custom ROM as they have typically been debloated by the developer in advance.

The goal of a "clean" ROM, devoid of carrier specific apps or bloatware is an elusive one that you probably can't do simply by installing an alternate stock firmware. You generally have to debloat firmware yourself or avail yourself of a custom ROM to the same effect.

Odin is a software package made by Samsung. You are more likely to see flying unicorns than before Odin will freely write third party bootloaders. But it's a moot point as first you'd have to find such a bootloader.

Bootloaders are hardware specific and written by hardware vendors for a given hardware platform. The bootloader is outside Android, it boots the device into Android. Even "open source" Android projects like CM or ASOP use the proprietary bootloader of necessity. Given the proprietary hardware interfaces and drivers it is a daunting task to write a bootloader from scratch for undocumented hardware.

Open source Android bootloaders exist e.g. the Little Kernel bootloader but they do not support most hardware.

Did you try this one: Phone INFO ★Samsung★ --> Menu --> Other Tools --> CSC Changer?

P.S. This tool needs ROOT permission to work.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Northern.dj:
The XDA App does not work it reports a file missing But i have some success

I will post a method as soon as i get it down

But it only works on "F" models with unlocked Bootloaders
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Northern.dj:
Nope it does not work reports in yellow that a file is missing from the internals SD

It does work on other devices but so does CSC Changer but that says it may need root Accses
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Yes it need ROOT permission to change the CSC.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Northern.dj:
well I have managed to change the CSC from VOD to BTU with No root

I have just repeated the same with a O2 Network Phone and even reversed the proses but its only for the S5 and Note 3

I will put a Link up soon when I have wrote the instructions but the app is still handy to confirm one point of the excises
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turborrr:
I suppose this was my first post at XDA. You could cut some slack here.

Anyway, issue sorted. The trick is to go directly into recovery (unchecking auto-reboot in Odin helps) after flashing a clean FW, and wipe data and cache. Rinse and repeat if you want.

CSC successfully changed from XFV to BTU. Surprisingly also gained quite a bit of disk space but I can not confirm the exact amount. All the bloat is gone with no sign of it.

Thanks anyway.
