[Verizon LG G2] z3pp3lin:
XDABBEB hasn't made an OTA zip to my knowledge and there's no real reason for one. He makes a ROM based on stock and he'll get the 25b version out eventually. The main reason to have a custom recovery is to flash custom ROMs. If you don't want a custom ROM, just root and keep the stock recovery so you can use certain apps and still take OTAs...like many do. You can return to stock (about 10 min if pc not setup) then take the OTAs and then root. Though I'd root at 24a and then take the OTA because AT&Ts latest update (5 Sep) can't be rooted with towelroot (yet) but keeps root.
[Verizon LG G2] bleedingthru:
im an idiot lol i took the ota im stock rooted with recovery now all that happens is it boots me into twrp and ive tried flashing a rom and a nandroid and i just keep looping back into recovery . tried getting into download mode and no go anyone have any idea if im totally screwed ?

Sliver
[Moto 360] alwaysbless:
Silver but only because it looks better with a variety of of different colored watch bands. Black your options are def more limited.
[Moto 360] aafevo:
silver
[Moto 360] brodyr90:
Silver. In my opinion, it looks more refined and understated. Reminds me of a classic watch whereas the anodized black is more trendy and modern. I also agree, the silver model is/will be far more versatile when it comes to strap colors.
[Moto 360] tacosrdelicioso:
Silver ftw
[Moto 360] whiskeyxrey:
I thought I was going to go with silver, as I definitely liked the look of it in pics better than the black. Then I tried them both on at the store, and I actually liked the look of the black on my wrist better than the Silver. Very tough choice, but I went for black. Love that gray band on the silver one, though.
[Moto 360] daijizai:
That watch band is the best damn band I have ever worn. I would probably pay $70 just for the band. LOL. I usually swap to NATO straps, but I will keep this one as is!
[Moto 360] mward7221:
I got a silver one but I like it so much I may get a black as well once they are available again.

Does anyone have a pdair aluminum case with car mount? I ordered the car mount and it came with a new posting system (Black nub that screws onto the back of the case) but it doesn't fit onto the case and it must be used to use the car mount. Has anyone else had this problem? Do you have the car mount and aluminum case? If so, can you tell me the number on the posting system (black nub)? It should be H2 or F1 or something like that. PDAir says that it is an H2 and my case originally came with an H1 but my case came with the F1 and it fit perfectly. HELP! Thanks! :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] SJMES:
Nobody can help me out?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] babatunde:
you need a H2 connector

H1 will only fit the clip and not the car holder.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] SJMES:
This is really weird because the H1 won't fit either. The F1 did, however. This is similar to the H1 except there isn't a screw sticking out of the black nub but instead there is a nut and a silver screw rests in the inside of the case and the black nub is screwed onto the back. Do I have an old version of the case or perhaps a fake?

my htc one x works on cm11 4.4.4...

i tried to restore my stock rom 4.2.2 (which I backed up after unlocking the bootloader)

I did a restore only on cwm and i got a bootloop :(

how can I RESTORE my stock rom :(

my cid : E_11

please help
[HTC One X] khairulez:
You get bootloop coz you not flash boot.img via fastboot.

boot.img

if you know... when i flash it??

befor restoring or after it ?
[HTC One X] aromerblz:
Doesn't matter try both.. doesnt brick just to flash boot.img my personal recommendation flash after.
[HTC One X] khairulez:
As [MENTION=4676958]aromer[/MENTION]blz said it doesn't matter.i'm always choose before restoring.

Well,choose whatever you like.

Don't forget to erase cache after flash boot.img.

[Google Chromecast] sawyerbenjamin:
So my dad has this love for playing movies on the TV with his new tablets. I told him he might as well buy the Chromecast because it will work wirelessly and he doesn't need to go across the room to pause and play (he had to use HDMI cables).

Anyway, I didn't know til we got the thing that mirroring is only supported on a small amount of devices. I got it to work on my phone because I'm fully rooted with a KitKat rom on my G2, which is actually a supported device. But my dad has a Hisense tablet running 4.2.2 (latest update). I'm a little nervous about breaking it to him that he actually can't stream movies from his favorite app or mirror his screen.

He uses the app Show Box, I'm sure a lot of people know about it. Its basically free movies. I was wondering if there was an app like MX Player that has Chromecast support. I.e. he can stream movies with this app, and the video player that is playing the movie can cast it.

Or if there is a workaround to mirror the screen on a 4.2.2 device, hopefully doesn't require root.

Our internet isn't too fast, so we're not too hip on downloading movies and having to wait forever to stream them locally. Unfortunately, that might be the best option though.

Thanks!

---Update---

Found an app called Web Video Caster. Does exactly what I was looking for. When you play a video in an app, just choose the option.

Hi everyone!

Just got the 4.4.4 from Pc companion.

It seems ok! Fast and smoother than 4.4.2

Battery drain is just ok but was better on 4.3 version.

RAM is occuping a lot for some apps:

Settings ~140MB

Google keyboard ~50MB

Facebook -113MB

Google search 56MB

New xperia live wallpaper ~100MB !!!????

Do you notice the same or similiar things??

I still notice temperature is increasing easily when looking on web, facebook, youtube after a while.

I still think 4.3 version (.101) was the best for battery and less heating on back cover.

I also tought "Move to SD" option was coming but nothing! :(

How you doing with this new update???
[Xperia Z General] smardu:
Aosp its the best option for me
[Xperia Z General] kael2404:
Notification sometimes is partially opened and there are still problems with music but less than was on 4.4.2. Performance ok
[Xperia Z General] Roronoa-pt-:
The lag is finally gone, the Phone is really smooth.

Battery life definetly improved

Google location battery issue is finally solved.

There are still sound problems, the sound lags from time to time.

Overall, very pleased with the update

[Xperia Z General] ToxyCat:
I don't know you guys but with 4.2.2 and 4.3 this phone was awesome but now I can see he doesn't like this s***

that much...

Notification bar is not always so smoother and temp is going up easily. Maybe I should try to flash with flashtool.

Then if nothing is better i'll go for Cyanogen or an old stock update.

Please tell what you think after days and if you find issues!

So STOCK ROM are best for battery? I would like to try CM11 but battery life is very important for me. What you think?
[Xperia Z General] androidfreak70:
Ok

I just flashed it today and after few minutes flashed other non stock ROM :(

It was disappointing... In other pages saying WIFI IMPROVED but it wasn't

I've faced a WiFi problems like dropping and no internet access while I'm actually connected. Same as other stock ROMs

The speed was great. Battery life was ok

But the WiFi is a huge problem for me. That's why I flashed custom ROM....

[Xperia Z General] androidfreak70:
I dunno bro but my home WiFi is pretty weak. So I got drop outs but it's perfectly fine on custom ROMs

Maybe it's yes better than 4.4.2 but my home WiFi is weak and that's may be the reason

But I can say it's need little improvements :p

I flashed the generic es version of the 4.4.4 update onto my wife's c6606. I had previously read that NXP HCE support was added into android after 4.4.2. When I opened up wallet, I was asked if I wanted to set up tap and pay. It now works, though I'm sure all the general wallet restrictions apply (us only...).

Has anyone noticed that when the Xperia Z has a very full internal storage the device lags?

I tested it out after clean installing the latest firmware and only setting up basic apps like whatsapp and so on. Once I put games and other apps on though the phone started to lag in general use.

This was not the result of open apps or excessive background apps. For me at least it seems related to data amount.

[Xperia Z General] Mambobuzzz:
Hi, I'm facing lags too. I was just wondering what it is. Where do you see that internal storage is full ? I have still 8gb free on internal memory. I've seen that such lags get solved with a simple phone reboot. But can't really conclude on what is the cause of those lags... :/
[Xperia Z General] Croudy:
My XZ had this lags two times - a reboot solved it. I flashed 4.4.4 without data wipe (only wiped cache and logs), perhaps this is the reason for the lags?
[Xperia Z General] tOrNadO™:
Frankly i saw there was a slight slowness but no lags when memory full.. But isnt it obvious? Even a computer slows down when hdd is full.. :p
[Xperia Z General] Mambobuzzz:
Quite sure... But why does it append yet with this FW ? just didn't append in the past.

How do you see that memory is full ?
[Xperia Z General] daniLaLaLaLaLa:
I never noticed the lag although i got 5GB internal storage free but

i got a very hard time to open Clash Of Clan, always got kicked out of game when loading bar is nearly half.

why? 2GB of RAM doesn't enough or Internal also effect this situation?

Sent from my C6502 using Instagram
[Xperia Z General] shorinryu:
Just check under Setting>Storage. When I have large game files, even after a reboot of my device I've had noticeable lag throughout the UI. This includes when I have in excess of 4GB storage free. I will be testing some more to see because in my case it could be an issue with the flash memory used in my handset and not necessarily a software issue.

[Xperia Z General] fjordstrom:
I have updated since the day it came out and have been testing it ever since. The update is waaay better than before, especially when it comes to (not) lagging. This rom also does a way better job with the battery and the 'heat' (I used Paranoid Android for a few months)... I don't have any wifi nor camera problems.

Here's a screenshot I made of my battery: I stopped charging it at 10 am yesterday (Sunday... :D), ended with about 60 % before going to sleep at midnight and it's now 9:40 pm and it's almost dead. It really lasted long :) Had it connected to smartwatch and Walkmate was on the whole time.
[Xperia Z General] daniLaLaLaLaLa:
I think so because i never had this problem before (4.4.2 or 4.3).

CoC runs well before the new update.

Maybe i'm wrong, hope someone could correct me.

Hi everyone,

I have a problem.. After i updated to latest firmware, i got "could not save" error when trying to capture some photos. I use original sony camera app, and i choose storage "sd card". If i change to "internal storage" and problem has gone. But i want to use sd card and actually i used on old firmwares with sd card fix.

Is there anyone got this error or is it just happen to me? And how can i fix it? Any help would be great, thanks.

Edit: Finally i found a solution. Any app on play store for sd card fix not work on 4.4.4. I know they are working on 4.4.2 and i used it also but not for 4.4.4. And i find "HandleExternalStorage" module on XposedInstaller. And now i have full access to the sdcard.

Edit2: I can only use sd card for a little. So i can't solve the problem. All apps use sdcard for short time and then problems coming. Now apps not able to use sd card. I did all sd card fix things but nothing change. For short time everythings working normally but then -i don't know why- none of apps have access to sd card.

Couldn't agree more! Only things I miss from official firmware is MHL connection and little less the official camera. Anyway now we have MultiROM available with last firmaware .283, so I use as daily driver CM11 and if I need MHL I can switch to Sony's firmware in less than a minute.
[Xperia Z General] slapstyxx:
I upgraded to 4.4.4 via Sony OTA; immediately lost root access (duh) and ability to write to SD card. Worse still, battery drain was extreme and the phone wouldn't charge fully. I did a factory reset and followed kingvortex's excellent instructions to flash an older version and regain root. Everything seems fine now, so maybe it was just time for a clear out.
[Xperia Z General] zviki:
And your phone was rooted before OTA? Because I have a problem to update via OTA... Maybe because of a some xposed module?
[Xperia Z General] erhaid:
Hi,

I couldn't upgrade OTA. Phone was rooted with xposed installed. OTA upgrade didnt work. I tried several times. On the end upgraded from my PC with sony pc companion. Lost root but managed to regain it back using instructions on this forum. i think OTA doesn't work because root or xposed module, dont know which one.

OTA looks like possible without root or any custom roms.
