[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
Customers expectations?

That would actually be a miracle...to please everyone and to satisfy every user.

I can't agree to that part - buggy fw...

Yeah , there are some things to polish but perfect smartphone doesn't exist.

Don't know, I'm quite satisfied with Z2, I'm satisfied with Z1, that's why I kept it...

We could have better camera auto mod, yes but we have manual mod and if you know what are you doing you can get incredible results (check camera and similar threads)

Improvement is always welcomed and oftenly possible... And I'm sure Z2 will get better fw and nice updates...

We have six months old devices, take it easy...it'll be OK..
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
"every user", alot of user yes

Buggy fw, depends on how you use, it becomes unstable and messes up alot if you start modding or messing with it

Improvement is needed in some areas camera SW/FW may be needed comparing to other brands,

I am in agreement here :D

But this is my opinion/experiance
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
That's why I'm using eXistenZ v2 (soon, we'll have v3 with Ultimate Stamina) and it'll be even better.

It's not ROM marketing but I found v2 battery friendly and very, very good ROM with all features and apps I need daily.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Sounds good, ive stuck my self to a modifed stock rom simple because the mods i have realy force battery over performance and heating

Im tempted to go to cm11 and theme it like an xperia rom just because im tired of this slight slowness in response on the stock rom
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
Yeah...I hate that too...

Every friend of mine who took this device to see it, after he heard specifications couldn't believe his eyes when he saw hiccups on scrolling.

It's better on eXistenZ, still not perfect but it's better.

I'm on LB and don't want anything except stock based ROM.

Actually, I can't unlock bootloader but I bought this device on purpose, because I knew I don't want to use custom kernels...

Battery life isn't good on CM (at least for me) and I'm on stock/stoxk based ROMs since Xperia S and PAC ROM ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
It weirldy depends on device power, for some odd reason Xperia S causes gapps to drain battery but on Z2 it has alot less of that,

cm11 on Z2 is perfectly fine, its about same life on stock then on Cm11

Im concidering Stopping development On my rom for Z2 untill 4.4.4 comes, i cant add any huge mods without them just not working, ive only been able to add small patches to the framework and boot class

Xperia S was a wonderful device, the only problem being the Linux Base was outdated and had a issue, once i patched that the device flew like a rocket, i added the patch to Envi-Rom V3 and upcoming V5
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
Hmm..That's nice then.. ?

I sold my XS to one friend of mine.

He is still using it and he's perfectly satisfied with it.

It's way to slow and old for me, z2 is perfect device for me now but we just have to admit Sony should build that device, or at least, some of the lines of it, better...

Quality control failed totally this time and that shouldn't happen to company like Sony (mobile)...

If they learn from z2 case/experiance - that'll be enough for me.

I'm planning to buy z4 and I really hope differences between 10th and 15th week won't be same as can see on Z2...

See ya guys...
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Sounds good, i plan to buy a New Xperia 18 months from now

Z6 i think if i did the math right, if there is another Z Ultra, id take that in a heartbeat

Z Ultra was wonderful to use, it fit my gorilla hands perfectly :D
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
if you bothered to read about this issue, Sony clearly pointed out that they've issues selling low-mid range phone and HAVE nothing to do with the Z series. So some nonsensical post that Sony have to improve from the Z2 is clearly crap.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Just a random note

Sony has changee manufacturer so any problems with Z2 should be corrected with Z3 or Z4

It use to be Lotfi Frikha and now its Sony Mobile Comunications, this explains the gapps, off set cameras, yelow tinted screens, random deaths, non waterproof units, dead pixels, unbalanced speakers and a utopia of other problems
[Xperia Z2 General] gautampw:
Sony changed manufacturer while z1-z2 transition and not recently
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
I just learned now and atleast it explains the startup problems.

Hardly ever there isnt a problem near the start.
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
can someone tell me? how to avoid bootloop when we modified something in system partition? i mean sometimes i always get a problem with bootloop, just like that install a superuser MOD (services.jar) bootloop when restart:confused:. i still locked bootloader. can i push any file or something without must turn on the phone. like use any adb debugging?:confused:
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
When you modify something on the system partition it is advised that you set the permissions to it. When you push SUPERUSERMOD to the system you are pushing it with 0664 (I think) permissions, it needs 0644 permissions to run and execute. You can easily push your files to your device and set the permissions using ADB.
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
ya, i understand with android sdk right? ya ya thanks ya!!!:D
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
Yes it is, drop me a PM if you need any of the codes to push the file to the system partition.
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
some code?

i think the first code is adb shell and then su, but before that i active the usb debugging and then apply the root permission do this command

mount -o remount rw "/system" to mount system. and

do cp,rm and maybe chmod to copy,delete and change permission right? are still any code that i still don't know it?:confused:

The LG G3 is now like 4 weeks old for me, and I didn't think I'd like the double-tap to get the screen on/off, but turns out it's really convenient!

I have an iPad mini and (one week out of four when I'm on-call a blackberry Z10) and have now consistently tripped myself up tapping on the screens of other devices to get them to turn on. It's just silly. :silly:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imucarmen:
I've done this a few times but for me I'm always feeling the back of phones to use the volume or power button. I had a G2 before the G3 so I've been using the back button layout for a while now and it definitely grows on you. I hope LG stay with it because I like not having buttons on the edges. It just feels right being on the back.

Ha ha, I thought double tap to wake was a silly gimmick before I got my G3 but now I find myself doing to other devices all the time - it's become second nature. I actually installed a new kernel to my Nexus 7 to enable D2W, even though it drains the battery, because I can't live without it now.

I do it with my S5, iPad, tablets. The first reaction is "What's wrong with this thing?" Then I remember that it's only the G3. The launcher on one tablet has an add-on tap to lock/unlock feature but I never even bothered to install it.

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a tablet that I can use for uni and fell in love with the tab s 10.5, sidesync had me like :cool: and after discovering that my beloved note 2 doesn't support it I was heart broken..

It's not a deal breaker but I'm considering the note 10.1 also :/ the s-pen and the fact that accessories for it are cheaper are sort of swaying me.

Are there any dev's already working on bringing side sync over to the note 2? I'm a compsci undergrad with a little bit of android experience and would love to get involved with this projects development if a(more experienced) developer would like to work on it :D

I have a stock version S.O.

What i can do?

Thanks
[LG G Watch] Bladder61:
Hi Cata

Can you give a little more information. Did anything in particular cause your watch to start going into recovery mode? Possibly were you trying to root, install recovery, or flash a ROM? Don't give up hope, at least it is going into recovery.

Here is a link to a tool that RootJunky has made specifically for the LG G watch. It has a lot of capabilities, you can do a full system restore. He even has a great video that walks you through using the tool. Good Luck!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthropostar:
Hello, well as of yesterday my N7000's power button started acting up, first i got lots of sudden reboots (probably the 8-second powerbutton hardware reboot) and a few hours later my power button stopped working al-togetter.

I've seen some youtube videos where people with the same defect-powerbutton (tho on another samsung device) show how to turn on their device by plugging it in the usb charger and emediatly press volume down+ the home button.

My device is still turned on but it'd be a bit tricky to try that out myself.

I am curious if that works on our devices too, if anyone could test this method; thank you so much.

Any other methods/advice is very welcome

Kind regards.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Rombote:
Forgive my general newbie ignorance, but this seems the best place around for knowledge on this stuff.

I have a Qtek-branded Wizard. I bought it SIM-free in the UK, and use it on the O2 network. I'd like to get the latest ROM update, as made available to O2 customers via its website for the XDA Mini S. However, because I don't have an O2-linked phone, the RUU software it provides doesn't work.

I've tried accessing the same stuff on the Qtek site, but it refuses to recognise my IMEI, so I can't register on the site.

So now I'm at a bit of a loss. If I knew what I was talking about I'm sure I could install ROMs from elsewhere - like right here - but I don't.

Anyone got some advice for me on this one? Any help would be rewarded with great and pleasurable things.

Actually, as I have a Qtek phone I'd rather get the latest Qtek upgrade. I've found a 2.17.7 RUU - is that the latest Qtek one you know?

Although, is there a possibility that installing that ROM would screw up my O2 service?

[Samsung Gear 2] Hamra:
So today I got the new gear manager.. None of the update problems that people are talking about happened *knock on wood* :P

So my first action was to see what's new (Samsung apps, so helpfully, doesn't even have a what's new section), and I quickly noticed the S health option.. I went in, clicked sync.. It takes ages, and says it failed :-/

I thought I'll finally have this long awaited feature on my note 3...but seems no :'(

Anyone got it working?
[Samsung Gear 2] Binary100100:
Nope. That'll be one of the issues with it.
[Samsung Gear 2] clockw0rk:
Fix

I fixed the issue on my Note 3 (rooted Jelly Bean) where the Gear 2 Neo was not syncing the with the S Health app. I had to go into settings > general > application manager. Then swipe to 'All' and I cleared the data from the gear manager apps: gear plugin, gearmodule, goproviders, hostmanager, samsung accessory service, samsung gear, sgproviders, sastsystemproviders, update gear software.

You may not have to clear data on all of them, just samsung gear, but I did anyways. Now my Gear 2 Neo syncs with S Health on Note 3.

Hope this is helpful

You can't use adb from a terminal on the phone... Only a convected PC. That is the problem. No way around it. Adb is for PC/Mac only.

([BOOT] - this permission will be added for calculating screen on time for non-rooted kitkat phones)

Starting from kitkat we retrieve wakelock stats from "dumpsys", that is why your phone either needs to be ROOTED or you need to have adb access to your phone itself.

KitKat owners with ROOTED phones

Run WLD, allow ROOT at first run. It is preferred to check "remember it" option

KitKat owners with NON-ROOTED phones

This option takes few steps to accomplish, but this is the only way to see wakelock stats for non-rooted kitkat phones.

In android phones, by default adbd listens to USB port, we need to change it to listen tcpip for establishing adb connection.

for that we need to run "adb tcpip 5555" from PC. For Windows OS, usb drivers need to be installed. http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

Install one of these light adb on your PC:

Windows: http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=42407269

Mac/Linux: https://code.google.com/p/adb-fastboot-install/

Enable "developer option" on your phone (it is in settings window , if you don't see it click "Build version" 7 times on "About" section)

Run "adb tcpip 5555" from command line.

Then install "Terminal emulator" on your phone and run "adb kill-server" , "adb devices" and confirm self-connection.

You can follow these slides for details: https://docs.google.com/presentation...it?usp=sharing

We are working to make single-click PC app.

If you could have better idea to optimize these steps, share it with us! Thank you!

[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Yeah....did you install adbd? That is the android adb daemon.....

BEFORE you can use adb on an android device (It was never meant to be run from anything but a PC), you must FIRST *install adbd*, AND *run "adb tcpip 5555" from a ***PC****

This enables you to use the adbd daemon. Don't have access to a PC? No can do...
[Moto X Q&A] lurenja:

Really thanks for the reply, I didn't install the *adbd*, and I find someone said to run "adb remount" from a PC to install the *adbd*, but when I run the command, it shows "remount failed: Permission denied". Is this the right way? or how can I install the *adbd*?
