[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] degraaff:
After a year and a half, my white Xperia Acro S was a creaking and clicking nightmare, so I decided to try and replace the battery cover. I wondered what it would look like if I slapped a black cover, flaps and buttons onto it and here's there result, looks pretty cool if you'd ask me.

Additionally it gives the phone a sort of "slimmed down" effect. It's still a fatty, but it's not so apparent any more. :p

The creaking is gone as well; feels very solid again, as if it were new.

However, I can attest that the soft-touch finish on the black back cover makes the phone tend to slide off of my hand much more easily than with the smoother white cover. The smoother white cover "sticks" to your skin more.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ste_Vege:
Hi,

I am looking for an app to reduce the sensitivity of the touch screen for my Moto G. The right top part of the screen randomly detect like a touch, even if I am not touching the screen. Do you know any app to reduce the sensitivity of the touch screen? At the moment my smartphone is not rooted but I will do it if it can fix my problem.

Thanks,

Stefano
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oversleeper:
Looks like you got a screen failure... If you can send it to warranty. I think an app can't resolve this kind of issue.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ste_Vege:
I sent it already to Motorola, I waited for 3 weeks to have my phone back and they didn't fix it! (UK repair centre). I've found this app on play store: touch screen booster, and it seems that reducing the sensitivity all the lowest level it works better. But I was looking for a more specific app.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmyc:
I've had the z1 since last year and it has never been stable, always crashing and hanging. And now with 4.4 the camera crashing. Every couple pics I have to restart the phone.

I tried to get Sony to fix it with no luck,

Is there any stable OS that will let me use the phone (Esp camera) or is this hardware issue. I don't care for fancy features, even a pure Android os,

Any suggestions?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaosPerson:
It's your phone, this phone was meant for taking pictues, designed for taking pictures, taking pictures in rain mud dirt snow, going underwater to take pictures, lol
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmyc:
highly doubt it, many other ppl are having the same issues
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaosPerson:
that's weird becuase i can also record in 4k and no problems, i take many pictures too without problems, but who knows probably beucase i have a different z1 variant
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nemeziz 56th:
My Z1 is new 2 Weeks old, I root it with towelroot and delete some useless apps than mod there with Xposed (Gravity Module).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
Hi everyone,

First, I am sorry that I am posting on a topic that I am sure is all over the forums. It is just I cannot find what I need and I need help.

Can the Galaxy S3 from Boost Mobile on a prepaid plan be rooted or not? This is the exact Model # "SPH-L710T". If not i get it, but if so would someone please give me a hand?

Can i get a step by step on the Tools I would need to do this and also advice on a custom ROM to load if that is possible? I am using Linux Mint 17 for a OS at the moment. I am technically inclined for the most part. I am a Network Technician and have rooted a handful of other phones in the past. Favorite being my first. Vibrant with Team Whiskey ROM few years ago.

I would use mobile ODIN if that is possible. I am all about doing everything I can directly from the phone.

Thank you in advance for any help i can get.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
when did you buy the s3 from boost mobile? i work at selling and activating them and i have one my self and they all have the model # SPH-L710 with out the "T", now seeing as your with boost that would mean you're on Kit-Kat 4.4.2 aka NDC now if you can't manage to root it on NDC i would suggest PC Odin Flashing the Stock ND8 rom that will erase everything on your phone and then trying the same root methods you have tried on NDC on the ND8 4.4.2 rom

PS. Don't use Mobile Odin for flashing Stock.tar files and since your running Linux/Ubuntu i would say set up a virtual machine with Windows 7-8.1 then using Odin on the Virtual Windows on your Linux OS

I have not attempted any flashing at all. Also there is an Odin I believe for Linux. I had thought I used something similar because I rooted the Galaxy S2 Tmobile Prepaid phone I had last.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
here is a link to the specs

by the wording use in the Detailed review it seems to be a newer version of the S3 that boost have that comes with 4.3 instead of 4.1.2 and it turns out mine was also one of these "updated" models even though on the back of the Phone it doesn't show the "T" now i would suggest flashing Philz Recovery in Odin that has an Option to root the Stock Rom that your on....

and the SPH-L710 came out in July 2012 and the SPH-L710T came out on May of this year....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
Can you give me links and a brief run down on what to do please? A little unsure about this since the model is so new and not many it seems like have done anything with it. Im thinking i just want to root but if a ROM that works is out i might go for it after a backup. I have ROM manager premium also just so you know to handle that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
well before when i had NDC i used TowelRoot to root it and that worked but there are some with even newer s3's from boost have reported it not to work mind you i got this one like 2-3 months after boost made it so the 4.4.2 that you have might be tighter locked up with Knox....but here is the link to Philz Recovery this one is made for all US s3 variants so this might work to get you root :) if anything it will work to help you flash a pre-rooted rom if that's what you'll want instead. and just read through the link that i posted to know what to do to flash it :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
Thank you ☺
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
Another walk through please. Im nervous

OK I have my phone in download mode. I am using JODIN online. I have the philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.tar.md5 loaded in PDA section. Reboot is checked. Phone is recognized. Am i good to start? What next??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
PIT file needed

Im tripping. I dont want to brick my phone. I need a PIT file now I guess
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
uncheck reboot then click start and wait for it to finish you'll know by it saying pass or something similar now keep your phone connected via usb then press and hold the power button and let it turn off then just use the Power+Home+Volume up keys to boot into the recovery :) and Odin/Jodin will say that it was successful :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
It says i need a PIT file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
do you have Pit checked? and i don't know where you can get it :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
No i dont. This is in Jodin. I put the tar md5 in PDA category as instructed and it asks for a PIT file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
Clarification

Ok so I flash the Tar MD5 file and that alone will give me root? What do i do once I boot into recovery? I just want to start by rooting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
okay once your in Philz recovery touch where it says "PhilZ Settings" then touch Re-root System (SuperSU) and then it will root your stock rom.....but just flashing the recovery wont give you root
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iw0k3upd34d:
will flashing Philz modify the modem?

Question, I've done this before only shortly after messing up the radio. Will flashing Philz modify the modem? I don't mind tripping knox (educate me further if I lack precaution). would like to attempt this again as I plan on backing up completely per mount in the future + further modifying & building roms for this model. (There are people out there that are stuck with no radio from flashing incompatible roms backing up the modem & hosting it in a flashable zip will be my first task) thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
flashing the recovery it self won't change or erase the modem at all....flashing a different modem on the other hand will.....now if you have stock NDC with stock kernel on your S3 but you flash the ND8 modem then you'll get bad signal and what not but if you have the custom kernel from Ktoonsez then all will be good; the same can be said for stock ND8 with stock kernel on your S3 and the NDC modem is here and can be flashed in the recovery but the ND8 modem can only be flashed through Odin in the stock rom.tar
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iw0k3upd34d:
Thanks, That's as I thought. I just wanted to cover my bases. Any tips for backing up the modem (triband)?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iw0k3upd34d:
It can be rooted.

That is great news. Congratulations. Question please. Did it ask you for a PIT file? I am on Linux Mint so will be using Heimdall or Jodin(web based ODIN). I managed to connect Heimdall and download the PIT file from the device. I am assuming if it asks for a PIT file I give it the one I made from the phone and I am good to go. Does anyone else believe this to be true? I should be good?

Any preference for Jodin or Heimdall?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
OK. Im rooted. How do I set it to be able to choose reboot into recovery from main screen. Can Philz be used from android OS like ROM manager?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iw0k3upd34d:
Didnt ask me for a pit file, jolly roger it must be linux?

I'm almost positive that is specific to the linux alternative odin.

Either that; your partitioning layout is corrupt., or there is an

incorrect udev rule for your phone.

I use linux (mint/ubuntu/debian/fedora) & Windows aswell (multiple boot computer).

Id recommend using the official version of odin and nothing but that

So two options are available if you dont have ready access Windows.

1 as mentioned above (I think anyway) Create a VM for windows install and use odin

This isnt extremely difficult, but the other is simpler.

2 Use Wine to install Odin

[TERMINAL]

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install wine1.7 winetricks

(No computer? Mobile Odin Pro)

*** on a side note I'll be uploading Several ROMS for the SPH-L710T on android file host.

The first will be Stock 4.4 Rooted + Philz Touch.

A flashable version of the triband siii modem is already available also

I cant post links as of yet per XDA's rules if you need it

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
Deadeyesystems@gmail.com is my email. I want links. I am rooted now. What about the modem flash? Is that something i want to do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
ALSO Even though I am rooted and I have the paid version of FoxFI this is the message I get when I turn wireless hotspot on. "HOTSPOT ERROR. You are not subscribed to the Hotspot Service. Do you want to see subscription options?" Boost Mobile has this locked/blocked whatever. How do I get around this? Freeze a service or uninstall a system app. Please help if you can. Does anyone have other opinions on hotspot apps other than PDANET OR FOXFI once I do get this working?

ALSO What about the modem flash someone mentioned? Is that something i want to do? Will it be faster or updated?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
if you search there is a TW ND8 hotspot fix......and the PhilZ thing so you don't have to constantly do it manually i would say Xposed Frame work then in the Xposed installer app itself search the download section for Wanam or Advanced Reboot and turn the module on choose what options then do a reboot and your done :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
I have the consequence singularity full package and update. If I go custom with this i will have hotspot??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
oh you have the heavily modified TW custom rom......doesn't that rom's dev say that the hotspot works? and if you flash anything for pure TW you might mess up your phone cause as i stated the rom you mentioned is heavily modiffied
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
Recommendation then please sir
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
well a good one to start with with working hotspot would be Wicked X 8.0 barebones version.....and it comes with a theme that i didn't like so i flashed the Galaxy S5 theme from here but i personally love this rom :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deadeyesystems:
Wicked 8.0 being the ROM i want to load?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
yes it's modified TW but you can still flash pure TW things and rarely have a problem :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ElwOOd_CbGp:
So any news back how wicked x did on this phone?. I bought another s3 from virgin because my screen is kinda messed up. I got wicked x slimmed down, modded and running really nice, just like i like it. My plan was to do the same to this one but I noticed this t on the new model. Im in dallas and the SPARK thing doesnt really seem to make much difference. Anyway whats the word on the compatibility? ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dwilson48625:
Wykydtron, did you post a stock rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ElwOOd_CbGp:
ok well... Im up and running, everything good except rotation. Killed modem until I switched to cdma and had good 3g. Im not sure what did it, but I disabled band service app and enabled global mode in the dialer data menu. switched back to lte and bam 4G like a mug! Way faster than when I had it activated stock out of box. Just my report on how wicked x 8.0 runs on this triband model. Hopefully this upside down rotation issue isnt hard to fix. watching videos while sitting upside down too long probably isnt good.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sean82007:
In regards to the auto-rotate I haven't flashed the rom just yet but literally it is doing its thing right now. If the rotation is like other galaxy 3's and 4's then download auto-rotate from the play store. It looks like two phones against a purple background, it lets you lock a mode.

Regards,

Sean
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dwilson48625:
Android forums found a solution to the rotation.

Its a touchwiz kernel on XDA.

sph-l710t question

Does anyone happen to know a way to root the sph-l710t boost version? I never rooted anything before and the closest thing i have to any kind of computer access besides my phone is my ps3. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] extrnoob:
I've tried towel root and every other one click root I could find, none of them Work with the t version. Thanks for the idea though...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
look at my Boost root guide in the Questions section there are 2 methods that work for your model
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] extrnoob:
I just realized that my baseband ends in NF4 not ND8. Isn't that supposed to bee fire the note 4?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
no that's the baseband of the sph-l710t
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] extrnoob:
Oh ok sorry I'm just starting to learn about this i looked in your posts and i couldn't find anything that i could do without computer access, unless i missed something which very well could be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
yep those are the two methods for root that work either Odin flash PhilZ recovery and use it's options or install CWM/TWRP in order to flash the SuperSU Beta....i don't know if you need a computer to install CWM/TWRP tho...

Super Easy

Hello everyone. Look check this out. Had to make an insurance claim with boost and was sent the SPH-L710T model. I was alittle mad when i searched it. Come to find out its not as bad as I first thought.

METHOD I USED:

ENTER INTO DOWNLOAD MODE and flash the latest Philz recovery .tar in PDA SLOT. UNCHECK EVERYTHING.....

When you get the PASS go ahead and pull the battery. Now ENTER INTO RECOVERY MODE. Go to Philz options and choose re-root system/install supersu. Cant remember exact word for word. I first downloaded the newest Philz Recovery .zip and flash it thru recovery. DONT FORGET TO REBOOT INTO RECOVERY AFTERWARDS! Philz is the greatest.

Now you can reboot phone normally. Go to play store and download SuperSU and Busybox and run both of them. (You might wanna grab root checker also) Now if you have any problems getting root I uploaded the SuperSU.zip from chainfire and flash it in recovery. REBOOT AND PROFIT.

With that being said it was so much easier then any other root i have done. No i didnt flash any fancy rom. My phone is now rooted and has custom recovery but its still the orginal rom. It was a piece of cake. I had 0 problems. I also prefer the stock rom. No radio or modem problems. I only achieved Philz Recovery and got it rooted.

Once you reboot and run SuperSU it will load the binary files needed. Philz Recovery will basically do all the work or just download the SuperSU.zip from chainfire and flash it thru recovery. It was that easy. I hope this helps/clears up any bad thoughts on this new SPH-L710T model. I even attached the UPDATED-SUPERSU.ZIP that i used. ENJOY

Boot loader?

ok so once recovery is flashed and root achieved, am i am to go straight to findind a compatible rom and then flash it in the recovery menu? Or is there a bootloader unlocking process i must go thru first? Or thru installing philz recovery and root unlock the bootloader for me?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] XxTeXx07xX:
Odin the Philz Recovery .tar file in the pda slot. Uncheck all boxes. Once you get the green light PASS. Disconnect and pull battery and boot into recovery. Philz has the option to root. Make sure you get busybox installed and dl supersu from play store. If your root dont stick try flashing the UPDATED-SUPERSU file. Google is your friend. Theres a million threads on rooting this phone.

i've done that same method and have hokages stock sph l710t ready to load. have done it many times. it fails every time. i have no phone no music although i can do anything i want with cmod 12.1. i've rerooted and flashed it 15 times trying to find away to restore this phone. it will not work for me. it is very easy to root, now help me restore it. i haven't had a phone for three weeks. this is a problem. thanks for all your great work as im sure you guys will go right to work to prove me wrong. thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hilla_killa:
What are you restoring to? 15 times! Dam
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pgellen:
i started out with a sph-l710 and wore the buttons out on it so before they completely died i went down and got another exACT PHONE BUT THE FIRST TIME I ROOTED IT I FOUND OUT IT WASN'T THE SAME. it was a "T". i lost my phone and music and my quest began to rebuild it to stock samsung. i have yet to achieve that but between the two phone i have torn them down, yes, that many times or more and built them back up. i can do almost anything with them as long as i do the "T" through the bootloader. haha i have not figured out how to get it back to stock. everytime i try it never makes it past the splash screen. im listening if you know how to do it. odin will do nothing on this t. oh, i am running liquid smooth now and with this beautiful rom i don't see the need for something else. its really nice. i have another "T" coming so i will experiment with this one here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hilla_killa:
Odin work perfect for the T model you need the proper files. I have the T and just used odin to restore stock nf4. If your going back to kit kat after you flash lollipop you must wipe internal storage. Its all over forums. Google is a friend
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pgellen:
i may not be the brightest but, after many tries i couldn't flash anything except twrp to my T". can you tell me the files you used and where i can get them? i would appreciate that. also i searched for quite some time before i found anything on my "T". yes its there if you know these sites.
