[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xoom Master:
Hey guys! I just switched yesterday from bell to Fido in an attempt to attain data for cheaper. At first I couldn't connect to data and I had to manually install the APNs for Fido internet but now randomly I'll just have no signal for 30ish seconds. It comes back and is 4 bars like before. I'm on the same phone as on bell. Xperia Z1 c6906 and I unlocked it off of bell and switched to Fido. Let me know if you guys have any ideas. Also I know its not the area I'm in because it worked fine before enabling data.

Thanks

When that happens what simbol does phone gives next to signal bar. (e,h,3G,4G)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xoom Master:
No signal whatsoever ever. Empty data bars and a red x
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSoulxxx:
I think Fido and Bell are using different network band and they selling their own locked device. Try to check your device to see if the device is support that carrier band. If yesy then maybe it's something wrong in your phone. Try to reflash full FTF to see if it software problem...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xoom Master:
I'm not sure what FTF means but I'm going to read root it this morning so I can actually access recovery. I checked my APN and it still just drops the signal every 15 mins or so and comes back like 15 seconds later..

Also is there any option to flash a radio like with Samsung?

Moto x DE xt1053 nlocked and Rooted with TWRP

OK here's the problem. Since I'm so annoyed by all the folders on my moto x my dumbass went ahead and go to twrp . first I back up (data, cache, system , and there's more can't remember) anyways when it was done me "stupid" went ahead and go to wipe > andvanced wipe iand wipe the following.

cache

Data

Dalvik

internal storage <- not knowing same as what they called SD card , I was actually hesitating already but went ahead and wipe

I didn't wipe the system and I think USB-OTG

End result

Lost my back up. Lost the twrp folder . No boot animation( weird I know).

Now the phone still boots up and everything working perfectly except the boot animation.

I'm just too afraid to reboot to twrp coz I don't have the twrp folder . I still have root tho

Could anyone tell me how should I fix that? Twrp and boot animation.

Not funny but on the bright side. My main storage " internal or SD Card " is now clean.

I still need help tho.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
TWRP will still be there and will recreate that folder for you when you go back to it. And here

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/themes-apps/motorola-moto-x-bootanimation-t2391927

you can grab the boot animation to flash in TWRP.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChaosBitch:
OK I try to flash the boot animation and it work the thing is its small there's like at least half an inch of black border around it. If its not too much to ask. Do you know where I can get the stock boot animation of moto x? Coz the one from that link is made I think for atrix. Thanks in advance :)

BTW I tried flashing other boot.zip and I get errors or I just get that android word as a boot animation . the one in the link works perfect except the size.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Not sure what to tell you on that one. It's from the forum specifically for your phone...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalecou:
Hi,

This is my first time writing here so excuse any of my mistakes.

Its been one year that I own the galaxy s3 and it seems to me very slow, with too many lags. And becomes even slower any time I join wifi and even worse when I finish surfing at facebook.

I always have 700mb RAM out of 830mb. I tried everything, reduce animation, disable ripple effect, clear cache etc. Nothing !!!

Im afraid rooting, mainly because I don’t want to start all over againg setting up wifi passwords, apps etc.

I would like your advice, either for improvement without root, or for the best way to root, cyanogenmod etc.

Thanx
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimzee:
Rooting can speed up your phone alot, it did for me. You won't have to put in passwords and whatnot if you just root and modify the stock rom. If you say install cyanogenmod, then that's installing a new operating system so you wont have all your settings saved, apps and data can be backed up by using titanium backup though.

Best and easiest way to root would be CF-Auto root http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/gt-i930x-t-n-cf-auto-root-t1957273 Just follow the instructions on that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalecou:
Thanx for your response.

So, if i just root i will not lose anything, not even my apps and data?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimzee:
The reason you root your device is to gain access to the root directory of your device. You won't lose apps or data, only if you flash a custom rom (unless you make a backup).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalecou:
Thats great.

Thanx again
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimzee:
You're welcome. Hope all goes well and enjoy having root. Also welcome to XDA

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartheekb:
i recommend Custom ROM. Once you succeed in flashing rom. U will njoy trying new roms in our device.

Follow Instructions & do carefully. Rooting is justa one time process.

Later on you can flash new roms any times.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalecou:
HI again.

I managed to root with cf.

Everythink ok. But i dont see any triangle. So i dont need to use "triangle away"?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chvenkatf:
You don't need to use Triangle away every now and then. You can use it when you want to take it to service centre!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalecou:
I've rooted with the method you sugested and everything is ok, but my phone did not become much faster. It still needs feww seconds to show contacts, logs etc.

Is this related to ram? Should i do something about it? Any tweaks or apps?

enabling root access

Hi Guys,

I have installed the WhatsApp Tri-Crypt application. Now for the application to work i need to enable root access but i dont know how to do that. Please help
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimzee:
Rooting is just granting access to the root directory on your device, this wont speed your phone up at all. Depends, if you want to overclock it with a custom kernel then you can speed it up, otherwise because you have just granted root access you would probably still have all the bloatware on it, removing this can speed up your phone aswell, because this will give you more ram.

Then there always another way, which is to flash a custom rom, they dont usually have any bloat, if any at all, so they can be faster
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalecou:
Great. So if i backup everything with titanium, then flash custom rom (i would appreciate any suggestions for a light one) then i will be able to restore everything?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Only apps and their data, nothing else. Make sure you understand what you are doing, as you seem to be missing a lot of basic knowledge.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalecou:
Thats true...

Thats why im seeking for help.

Thanx.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimzee:
Not to worry though,if you read everything before you flash a custom rom and follow the developers instructions, you should be fine. But never forget a backup of your apps and data or youll just have to download them all again. Also making nandroid backups is recommended if anything goes wrong at any point, I said that assuming you would have custom recovery

[HTC Droid DNA] tamlin42:
When I hook my phone up to my TV though MHL/HDMI (it's an all-in-one cable with a USB charge connector as well), it connects at 1080p but only 24hz refresh rate. Is there any way to up this to 30, or even 60? I know my TV can handle it, and the eBay listing for the adapter also claims that it's capable of 60hz. I'm currently using nusense6 MAX 3.02 currently, and willing to swap around as long as I can keep root/soff.

Thanks in advance!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belegkarnil:
Hi!

I want to know if the Amazon Fire TV works outside US without VPN.

Can I buy an US Amazon Fire TV to use Netflix in Belgium (because now it's available)?

Can I add some application from Google Play?

Of course, for using Google Play I will root the device.

Thanks !
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loekf:
I live in the Netherlands. Yes, you can use the FTV outside the US. Except that all the &*#&@*&# Amazon services

like Prime etc. don't work unless your IP is in either Germany, US or UK. Same thing for e.g. Hulu+. I didn't try VPN

yet. On my Fritzbox DSL modem it's a bit of a pain to configure VPN.

AFAIK, Netflix works ok. I tried one movie I think when I got the FTV last week. I'm mostly using my AppleTV for

Netflix, because I find the interface much easier to navigate. On the FTV, Netflix is using the same interface as e.g.

on SmartTV (e.g. Philips) or the PS3/PS4.

Firmware updates also arrive from Amazon. This week I got the latest and now I can't root the FTV. That was not

so much of a deal, because my main purpose was a good (cheap) Android/ARM based box to use XBMC/Kodi.

I think via eBay I paid ~80 euros for it.

In XBMC, 1080p MKVs with DD+/TrueHD/DTS work provided you use Kodi 14.0 (still in alpha). Bitstreaming to an

external receiver is ok. You can easily sideload XBMC via adb.

You're limited to the Amazon appstore. I think it's possible to download a apk from Google Play, then sideload it. Only issue

is that it (probably) won't show up in the launcher/homescreen of the FTV, so you have to start the app via the settings

menu.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hill16:
I got Amazon prime to work just using a smart DNS provider (didn't change my IP). it was a while ago so can't remember exactly how I did it. I have a valid US account/credit card and address. Think I had to enable 1-click to buy an episode or even to watch the trailers/free episodes.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrememc8:
Yes, Fire TV, the device itself, works outside of the US; but many of the streaming services will not (Hulu plus, Pandora, Beats Music ...) because of the complicated copyright laws. If all you want is to watch Netflix in Belgium, Fire TV purchased from US will work for you with no problem. If later you decide to go through the hassle of rooting your Fire TV, you may consider installing the VPN on it as well. That way, you will have access to more apps and services such as: Spotify, A&E etc.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belegkarnil:
Thank you all !

Not only Netflix but for the Amazon application yes. I plan to install some applications on Google Play to watch local channels.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o-I-c:

Works very well, as mentioned.

Can side load apps.

With Stamina Mode on, the battery is decent. My question is,

1) if I have it on 24/7 forever, will it harm the Z3 alot?

2) if I keep using it with screen on like playing games and have the stamina mode on, will battery goes even faster then its not on?

3) what about the ultimate Stamina mode?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel57:
I'm also wondering about that. Hope someone will post here some information.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerman19:
1) No, it won't harm the Z3 at all.

2) Stamina mode, if you set it up for extended usage will limit the performance which you may, or may not notice when playing games. Battery drain will be less than without Stamina mode.

3) What about it? With it on your data connections are gone, Calls and SMS are your only communication mediums available, and a limited selection of basic apps (Calendar, Clcock, Album, FM Radio, Calculator) and the Camera. This of course rules out gaming.

Phil
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarimSalloum:
Ultra Stamina Mode is usually for when your battery hits the 10-15% mark and you need extra juice for the next few hours. As mentioned there is no data so only calls and SMS.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingod513:
So ultra stamina is like in aeroplane mode. No wifi/bluetooth as well?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
STAMINA mode effect can be seen only when screen is off.

I will quote sony

So that means, when screen is ON, stamina dosent do anything. Your phone will act like there is no stamina mode at all.

Here is information about Queue background data

Ultra stamina mode

Hope it clear out for you guys a little bit.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henihazbay:
I have problems with Stamina Mode. It doesn't work for majority of the apps. Meaning, even if I don't whitelist an app in the stamina mode, their notifications shows up and they send/receive data: Pushbullet, Gmail, Twitter are only few examples.

Is this the case for any of you?

Based on this, everything should work fine. Only two apps are allowed, and this too check for notification every 15min while screen is off.

I dont know what cause the problem :/.

Also, remember when you put your phone to charger, stamina is disabled while charging.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henihazbay:
Yeah and I can't be the only one

First I thought the problem might be due to light flow app but disabled that and tried without that and result is the same.

Stock 4.4.4.

Rooted

Locked

If I am using another app and receive a phone call, I am not able to answer it. The navigation buttons stop responding and the pull down drawer won't allow me to answer. I noticed this behavior over the last few weeks. Its been a headache.

I tried removing all recent apps, clearing cache and rebooting in safe mode. Nothing has helped yet.

Anyone seen this behavior before? Any ideas on what to try?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larwindcunha:
Nope. Didn't hear chatter about that. Since L preview has released, it's best to flash it as that's a cleaner ROM. Your call will take up only the top part of the screen and you can use the app when you get a call. N if you're flashing, unlock boot loader and don't forget to back up everything before unlocking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aklisiewicz:
While in phone conversation I often use a speaker. For a last few weeks I have a problem. After few minutes the speaker shuts off and the phone goes to the standard (non speaker) mode. This causes of course problems because the other party can talk and if my phone is resting on the desk I cannot hear them. I haven't noticed any pattern yet but is seems like it takes about 3-5 min to turn off. This is standard phone (no root) but I have plenty of Apps. No sure what might have caused that. I was thinking about restoring to the factory setting or rooting, but this will require running some backups, etc and I really do not have time for that right now. I would appreciate any suggestions.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zalmer:
Ever since I rooted my Verizon S5, I've had a strange issue..

It happens every time I flash a new ROM using Safestrap (of course.)

When I go in to settings and try to click or unclick a checkbox, it doesn't work. Or for instance if I change the GPS mode from Power Savings to High Accuracy, it doesn't change. It just stays with the previous one. But if I reboot, and go back to that setting, it will be changed. The same goes for if I'm trying to allow installations of unknown sources... I'll go in, click on the check box to allow unknown sources, but it won't come on. Then I'll reboot the phone, go back in and it will be checked on. If I go in to Safestrap and wipe Cache and Dalvik, it works just fine for a few minutes, but then goes back to not working.

Anyone having this issue or know of any fixes?? Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
What ROM slot are you using in Safestrap?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zalmer:
I've been using a custom ROM slot, I've tried to set it up in the stock slot but I can't seem to figure out how to wipe the stock slot. Is there a certain way to do that?

By the way, I flashed Optimal ROM as soon as you released it, best build yet! It's fantastic!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
You need to be using the stock slot. There are known issues with custom/rom slots. But yeah, you'd just wipe data/factory reset the same way. Then flash the ROM and firmware (if needed).

Glad you're enjoying the ROM!
[Spice Dream Uno] loveandroidone:
Hello all,

can we still get update from google after rooting the rom ?

thanks
[Spice Dream Uno] eyan2011:
Yes, you can update it if you have root. Note: it'll break your root(un-root). You cannot update it, if you have a custom recovery like CWM, TWRP you'll need to be on stock recovery to take an OTA update.

PS: Wrong thread to ask this question try the Q&A thread next time.
[Spice Dream Uno] loveandroidone:
Thanks eyan2011 for the explanation. But is stock recovery is enough for imsge backup/ super user etc ... ?
[Spice Dream Uno] eyan2011:
If you mean Nandroid backup (Full system backup) then NO. A custom recovery is needed for that. Stock recovery is used factory reset, wipe cache, manually update the OTA etc..

Hi,

I got this problem with play store downloads on my micromax canvas A1.

I believe this problem is common to all canvas A1.

I have 2 micromax canvas A1 devices, one xiaomi and samsung , lg and so on..

Whenever I try to download anything above size ( ~ 4 mb ), I receive an error message saying " could not be downloaded error 489 ".

I tried on both canvas a1 devices , the result is same resulting in error 489.

First I thought this is my wifi problem. So, I tried in my other samsung, xiaomi and LG devices but theres no problem as such. The app installs just fine.

I already tried following steps but nothing helped.

1) Factory reset devices ( DIDN'T WORK.)

2) Installed new version of play store ( DIDN'T WORK)

3) Removed google a/c >> reboot >> clear play store data . (DIDN'T WORK)

4) Cleared play store data >> cleared google service framework data >> play store services data . ( DIDN'T WORK )

I TRIED EVERYTHING MENTIONED on google search but nothing worked.

Someone plz confirm this on their devices.

However, I haven't tried downloading an app on mobile network. I am going to do it now, will try and report back.

2. clear data both in play store and google services framework ..

[ no need to factory reset ]

3. add account and try from mobile data first.. then switch to WiFi..

THE ABOVE FIX IS NOT PROBABLY GOING TO FIX YOUR ISSUE ..

FOR NOW USE ALTERNATE MARKET STORES which are huge in number

If nothing works , report error through play store ..

keep calm and wait for updated version of gapps
