[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blood angte:
I appreciate the help and the good laugh i had at line 10 but i cannot get my phone into emergency mode. when i tried the button combo and connected the usb it just failed instantly to install and still was not detected on the KDZ program. the device that im getting when i hook up the usb is called "QHSUSB_DLOAD" and even with all the drivers i could ever find none of them would work for this and also not be detected in the program.

Perhaps i need to flash a new recovery img to the phone using abd? i dont know, i'm still learning about all this stuff and slowly getting one step further ahead of the crowd, so to speak.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyczone:
Maybe JTAG would be your best bet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kishore4:
i guess you have windows 8 or 8.1 installed..and you have to turn off the driver signing check first like this tutorial :disabling-signed-driver-enforcement-on-windows-8

and then install this driver :-

Qualcomm-Allx86-drp.exe

try this..n good luck :good:

and yes flashing via adb will be a whole lot better..just do it right...and this "QHSUSB_DLOAD" is usually due to a bad flash so fix it up by flashing properly.

*Closed until further notice*

yeah i was hoping it would not come down to that... If it is my only option i guess i will find someplace that can do it for me. cause i dont have the hardware to do such a thing none the less even figure out how to do it. other than that i think i might just retire this phone until something else comes up.

Thanks to all the peeps who replied giving info, much kudo's to you guys. :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blood angte:
so i tried the driver pack and it did indeed find the correct driver for my phone although KDZ still wont detect my phone... bummer :crying:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blood angte:
I did not see this the last post i made so i will look into learning how to flash via adb. many thanks good sir, when i return i shall be a master of adb flashing... lol or at least try my best. looking into guides right now on this very fourm. :good:

Any suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kishore4:
hey..can you get into recovery or your phone is just dead?

well there are two modes for the device :-

1. power off the the phone and then press volume up and plug in the usb cable while doing that -download mode

2. power off the phone and then press power+ volume up button together and quickly plug in the usb the phone goes into emergency mode

try them both

also check in windows manager if any of the LG modems are active..if thats the case then disable them by right click option and then try KDZ updater and see if it works..if not repeat the points 1 and 2 and shake the life out of your device till it gives up and gets detected haha..also try taking battery off and then putting it back and plugging in usb then only.

and about adb i am not sure if it will work but you can always check if the device is being detected by adb using following command :-

adb devices

P.S. -

check in windows device manager the hardware vendor id of the device and then verify if you have it listed in C:\Users\(your username on pc)\.android\adb_usb.ini

if not then add the entry as

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.

# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.

# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.

0x1949

0x18D1

0x04E8

the vendor is the 4 digits after 0x like mine device id is 04E8..if yours is not listed then add yours in next line and save it and restart computer and plug in ur device again and check if its detected.

In case there is no .android folder or adb_usb.ini file then downloadattachment, unzip and place it on the right location and restart. check the pictures if you dont get what i am saying..just on case lol:)

Not sure if this is the correct section so could someone move it if needs be. :)

I've been a lifelong iOS user but finally got bored and ordered an Android phone. I know all about jailbreaking, but know absolutely nothing about rooting and I've been told this is where I'll find whatever info I need.

I have a few general questions and would appreciate if someone could shed some light as I need to get around the basics before I start messing with rooting etc.

I ordered a Nubia z7 Mini which looks like an amazing bit of kit for the price but since it's a Chinese phone there's a few things I'm unsure of.

Would it come with Google Play Store installed? If not, how do the Chinese get their apps?

Also, I've seen that you have to root the phone to install Google apps. What Google apps, and why do you need it?

Lastly, if you need to root the device to install these items, is there a way to unroot it afterwards and keep the newly installed apps? The reason I'm asking is because on an iPhone, certain apps won't work if it's jailbroken(like the Barclays banking app which is essential), so just wondering if it's the same with Android devices.

Thanks for any help. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eLcTrOn:
1- it depends on the seller you buy from . some will install the gapps for you and some not . but don't worry it's so easy to install

the Chinese have their own app stores

2- The Google Apps (or GApps as they are commonly referred to) are the proprietary applications by Google included in many Android devices. Most of the applications can now be found and updated via the Google Play Store.Some of the apps include the Google Play Store itself, Google Talk, Google Sync (for adding and synchronizing Google accounts), Google Backup Transport, Car Home, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google Search, Google Voice Search, Google Music, and Google Docs.

Wiki quote

3- i think you can unroot z7 mini using the supersu app , i see the unroot option .

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Biggenz:
Thank you for the explanation. I've got my phone and slowly getting the hang of it.

So why can you not install gapps on a Chinese phone without rooting it? And if I unroot it, will gapps disappear or stay behind?

Reason I'm asking is because I need to use apps which won't work on rooted devices, but I don't want to loose gapps.

1. Turn off ambient mode

2. Set brightness to 1

3. Limit screen on time by disabling notifications on apps you don't really need to view from the watch, and always covering the display to turn off manually when you are done looking at it.

[Moto 360] Alcoholic:
1. Don't use a watch face that didn't come from motorola pre installed. Wait for google to open it up to developers. Right now the way the watch faces work is through apps and that uses more battery.

2. Ambient off

3. Turn off any crazy notifications you get on your phone that you dont care about like twitter

Actually getting a 3rd party watch face that doesn't have a second hand or animation helps battery life a lot.

I concur! Installed custom watch with no "seconds hand", ambient mode is ON, 8am to 10pm drains to 30-35%! Standard Minimal watch face with the same options = 10% at the end of day.

Try downloading mini wear launcher. If you swipe left to right twice you can dim the screen to super dim. I use it when i'm in the office so i dont have a super bright screen for no reason.
[Moto 360] bakaz:
The only thing that's made a noticeable difference for me has been turning off ambient mode. For the last week I've been wearing the watch for about 17 hours / day. At the end of the day I usually have 25 - 40% left in the tank. Today I decided to try it with ambient mode on. I'm 10 hours in and I'm already at 38%. So it makes a big difference to me. That's still not bad since I'm averaging 6% / hour so I could potentially make it last my normal 17 hours. But it's a bit too close.

Also, I know I can drop it on the charger for 10 minutes and I'll pick up another 10 - 15% or 2 hours of ambient or 3 - 4 of non-ambient time.

[General Questions and Answers] PietieQ:
Hi Guys.

I read all over regarding Nand Erase all. after I ticked it.

I managed to get a new custom ROM on to the phone and running but I have little bit of a problem with the phone model.

See I actually have a Samsung note 2 GT-N7100 with Jedi X Rom it starts up and everything but, when i go into my phone's Settings / about device it shows that my phone model is SGH - I317. how do i fix it from here to get the stock ROM on again and have it show the actual model number (GT-N7100)?

But that's not all...

My phones memory size is a 32 GB but in the settings / storage menu it shows my phones space is only 127 MB.

so basically i fixed one problem and ended up with 2 other problems to sort out.

"oh and just an FYI, I don't personaly like the Jedi X ROM. see it looks good and everything but it's a little too complicated for me."

I have downloaded Liquid Smooth ROM from Galaxynote2root.com . Looks Pretty good any everything but this does not load on my phone. so what i was thinking (correct me if I'm wrong) is that i need to have the stock firmware + ROM = CWM on the phone to be able to Run it?

Please assist me if you guys now what to do :)

Thanks. Much appreciated.:eek:
[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
To get the stock ROM back download the latest version of Android for your phone from here: SamMobile.com, then download odin and select the PDA file in your firmware download using the PDA section in odin, then set it off and your phone should be like new
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drugoli:
I listen to music from my N5 a lot.

Before I got my N5, I used PowerAmp. This is not possible anymore, because certain audio glitches happen every roughly 5 mins (sometimes more/less often). The audio glitches can best be described as a short sound (not longer then half a second) that is a mix of a pop and some sort of electrical noise, IN the headset. Basically, very difficult to describe but incredibly annoying nonetheless.

Anyhow, PowerAmp is not the only player that has this audio glitch. N7 Player has the exact same problem. Oddly enough, both Google Play Music and Rocket Player does not have this issue what so ever. I've only tested these four players, but as stated two of them has this issue.

Does anyone know why this happens? And even better, does anyone know of a possible fix?

What I know the problem is not:

A problem with the audio file itself. I can experience the glitch, rewind a few seconds and it's not there when I listen again. Also using Winamp on my desktop has 0 audio glitches.

A problem with the headset. Tried this on my SoundMagic E30's and Razer Tiamat 2.2, both get it.

A problem with the "OK Google" hotword detection, turning this off did nothing. (Suggestion from PowerAmp bug forums)

A problem with the kernel/ROM. I've experienced this with PA, PA+ElementalX, SlimKat and Slimkat+ElementalX. Also tried Franco and Linaro at some point. (All based on AOSP, so maybe it's a problem with that, I dunno)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frontier3:
I see that the Sony mobile US site has the z3c listed as coming soon. Is it best to just wait for that to come out or will the European version fully support all of the AT&T bands? I'd hate to import a phone and not get the best reception/internet.

I know it was suggested in another thread that it would work with AT&T but then there was some confusion in another thread about the phone possibly missing 1 or 2 bands. Any help from an expert would be greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingsfortheirsmiles:
mazyou tube

I know Sony's white papers have been wrong in the past (Z1 Compact with glass back, grrrr :mad: ) but the one for the Z3 Compact D5803 has 4G bands Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 20.

I've had a hunt around for AT&T's 4G bands but this seems a but trickier as it seems dependent on region, going by wikipedia it looks like the main bands are 2, 4 and 17 which are all supported by the European version per the above. It probably doesn't help that I'm not from the US and I don't have enough posts to add the URLs, sorry.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frontier3:
I feel like I remember reading back in the day that some companies used bands of the same frequency that weren't cross compatible. It's always made me nervous about buying non US phones. However my info could be wrong.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tudork:
When I was in the states, I got a AT&T sim card. My phone definitely says that it has the lte bands. Still, it only displayed h+ while I was there. I did not bother to go back to the store and check because the speed was very good anyway. So maybe it's because the bands are different or it was working on 4g but just not displaying it, I don't know.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
AT&T must provision your sim for LTE otherwise you'll only receive 3G even if the phone is capable of 4G. Usually they do this based on the IMEI of your device and if it's a non AT&T phone then it won't appear in their database as LTE capable. There are ways for them to manually configure the sim for LTE by contacting support.

The UK model D5803 definitely supports AT&Ts LTE on bands 2, 4, and 17.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frontier3:
Does AT&T have more bands than 2,4,17?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingsfortheirsmiles:
I found when googling AT&T LTE bands that they apparently have also started to use band 5 (850mhz) but that's still supported by the Z3 compact. This was both on AT&T's forums and howardforums but I'm not sure if AT&T need to do something else to enable LTE support on that particular device. I think my own network (3 UK) has to do this as it took a few months for my unlocked Moto X to pick up their 4G network.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
From AT&T: https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/byop.html

AWS (1700/2100MHz) is band 4 (Blocks A, B, C, D, E)

700MHz is band 17 (blocks B, C)

850MHz is band 5

1900MHz is band 2

The overwhelming majority of AT&T LTE is on band 17. Bands 2 and 4 are used for additional capacity in some markets and/or some rural/smaller market coverage. I'm not sure they've rolled anything out on band 5 yet, but even so the Z3c has that covered.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frontier3:
OK,

thank you very much for the additional research. It seemed like that was the case but I don't trust my own opinion since I haven't done any real looking into this type of stuff in like 4 years.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
To answer your original question, as far as we know there is no US model of the Z3c, only the EU D5803 and Asia D5833. If Sony sells it unlocked in the US it will probably be the D5803.

I've been using my Vario II for a good 4/5 months and I have been very happy with it so far.

A problem started to appear over the past couple of days: in an email message or when reading a rss feed on Newsgator, when clicking a http link (to open the browser) I get an error message, as follows:

"the file http://www. etc cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file"

What's this? I had no problem before clicking on a link to visit a webpage. I thought I had bugged the device, so I hard reset the phone and reinstalled everything. But the problem persists -and it was not there 1 week ago.

The only app I installed recently is the sim unlock (and the upgrade of the radio to 1.16.00 as per pof's instriuctions.)

Can anyone help me?

[Sony Xperia ZR] SirVer:
Is there any way to add extra buttons to the nav bar in stock (.283) like you can in AOKP, Carbon, etc.? I don't even need all of them, just the last app button. There are some apps that do this by adding a floating button (LAS), but I want it on my nav bar. UDN doesn't work right, and doesn't let me customize the buttons for some reason. The only other way I've found is to decompile the SystemUI, but I'd rather not do something that risky if there's an alternative. I was on Carbon for a long time and I really loved this feature, but I need the battery life that stock gives. I've found Xposed modules for everything else I'm used to, this is the only thing missing. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

[Sony Xperia ZR] SirVer:
I've tried that, and it's not suitable for several reasons. First off, GB causes layout problems in the recents panel, making the small apps inaccessible. No matter what I toggle, it doesn't go away unless I disable GB. Also, the button appears to the extreme side; I was hoping to get it as a main nav button, like in the custom ROMs.

Looks like I might have to decompile after all. Oh, well. Thanks for your reply, though!
