[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick1103:
Just thought I'd share my findings, I disabled the persistent Google search bar a few days ago as thought it was too obtrusive, however after finding out the Z3 allows the 'always listening' to work on home screen I wanted it back.

When I removed it originally this message came up but I didn't fully read it, now I've learnt the hard way that the only way to get the search bar back is to clear the data in Xperia Home app, which is fine, but if you are like me and spent ages rearranging apps into folders in the app draw you'll be pretty annoyed like I was! ?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidGangster:
Haha ? glad you got that off your chest. Thanks for the advice anyway... Holla

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanga10:
Thanks, for that. I also cleared away the search bar and forgot how to get it back. Now I know that I will have to reset up my app draw and all its folders I'm not so sure I want it back.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick1103:
I now wish I didn't bother, the only reason I wanted the search bar back was for the "Ok Google" which can work from any screen now, however as I found out it causes a bug with the camera app, you get an error message stating the video camera cannot be used as it is being used in another app.

Now I just don't know if I should get rid of the search bar again or not incase Sony provide an update.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chongbh:
Even if you remove the search bar from the desktop, that space occupied by the Search Bar are being blocked.

Hope there will be solution to remove that empty blocked space in future.

Can somebody please explain to me how to get it back? I don't quite get how. If I stop the Xperia Home App process it's not doing anything. Please help. Thanks.

Cheers dude. Was thinking about removing it, but I've just spent ages sorting my home page and stuff.

Not worth the bother removing if I'd lose all the settings to get it back.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephstyler:
I think i've figured out a workaround - download the google now launcher, it adds the persistent search bar, ok google works from any screen, plus no more error for camera - however this doesn't from from lock screen without it having the camera error.

try and let me know if you get the same result i do.

I'm not a fan of the Google Now launcher, thanks anyway. I'm just going to wait until Sony release a fix.

1. att s5 850

2. rooted with towelroot

3. running root cloak and Xprivacy

4. updates frozen with TB att, google, knox

my question is " how did google know?" and what am i doing wrong to not allow apps or rooting to be seen?

Also, towel root tells you to Uninstall after rooting, because the app no longer has any function or use.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjciii:
thanks mwedo and finndo

maybe one or both may have some advice on this question.

with device rooted how do i treat OTA updates and security updates. i installed SU as a system app. will this work to maintain root?

thanks in advance for any advice

patrick
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwedo:
On vast majority of phones you don't get OTA at all when device is rooted. Standard updates like flashing ROM manually or going normal through PC Suite (or whatever its name is - depends on brand) will keep your root if normal update is performed. If update is done with/after full format then root is usually gone so you need to re-root.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48646053#post48646053

Hello guys, long story short.. a little while ago I tried upgrading my ROM to 4.4.4 and found out that i have to turn S-off and install the RUU 3.18 i think it was. Upon doing this I came to find out that my phone isn't being listed when I type adb devices. I have debugging mode on and install the latest HTC drivers and uninstalled HTC sync, but yet it wont list my device.

I did some research and found out it could be the current rom I have installed causing it not being listed and that I may have to use another ROM to get windows to see my phone. But I dont think I can flash another rom because I cant get into TWRP now. I can get in bootloader but now recovery doesnt work and i cant get into TWRP anymore,I think I also have to update Hboot too.

My question is how do I go about getting my phone listed in adb and how can install twrp again.. Its been soo long since I did this I may need some help. If i can get ADB to list my phone I should be able to do the upgrading myself.

I'm taking a break atm as this is giving me a huge headache. I know Its not hard to flash if you have ADB working. Or TWRP but I dont have either of them. Can anyone shed some light for me please..

This is whats on my bootloader page

EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT- 1.09.0000

RADIO- 0.16a.32.09.06

OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405

Thx for reading.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] quarterbreed:
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hi_cannon:
So to make sure I understand your situation:

1. You CAN boot into your rom

2. You CANNOT boot into your Recovery (I'm assuming bootloop)

3. You CANNOT see your device in adb OR fastboot (please confirm)

So here's the best case scenario. You are NOT running Windows 8.1 and you can see your device in fastboot while in the bootloader. In this case, S-OFF again and flash recovery as usual. If your ARE running Win 8.1 .... well we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

To debug your adb problem plug your phone into your computer. Does your phone respond in any way? Do you see the device show up on your computer for file transfer? If any of these things is true, rejoice! For there is hope! This is just for assurance, but you do have developer settings turned on and adb enabled right? Have you tried other usb ports? I forget if there is authentication in 4.2.2 but if there is, did you add you trust your computer? Try revoking all trusted computers and try again. Have you tried the newest version of ADB? Have you tried a different cord? If you have tried ALL of these, open up device manager. This can be done by simply typing into the search in start on both Win7/8. Now look at the top of the list. Do you see anything like ADB Interface or Android Device? If not, do you see any unrecognized devices or any device with an exclamation mark under Other Devices or Universal Serial Bus Controller? If any of these is true, right click the device and select properties. It'll be best to post a screen shot at this point. But if you're an intrepid risk seeker, go to the driver tab and hit uninstall. Next unplug your device, wait a few moments and plug it back in. You should see a driver installation progress. I've also attached the generic Google drivers that I know for sure works should you need it. Now try adb again and hopefully your device shows up:highfive:

If all is wrong with the world, and you do not see anything when you connect your phone, try on different computer with a different cord.:eek:

Hello,

I have searched the forums and cannot find what I am looking for. I have an S5 Sport that has a broken screen and I need to send it back. I want to do a factory hard reset, but I can't see anything. I have follow tutorials online, but it doesn't seem like it has worked. Can someone tell me exactly how to do this? I assume if I pull the battery and put it back in the phone is "off" and doesn't automatically start? From there I am doing the up volume, home, and power. Then I click down volumn (3) times to get to wipe data factory reset. I assume it starts on reboot system now and is 3 clicks to get to wipe. Maybe that is where I am wrong.

Any help much appreciated.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Crossvxm:
Does the MyTouch 4G battery fit our 4G Slide rear? I need to replace the battery on my Slide WITHOUT ordering it and on Craigslist I cant seem to find one for a 4G Slide. HTC Sensation is also out of question as there are none. I am also aware of the capacity difference, which isn't much of a concern.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
Don't think so. The Sensation battery replacement never mentioned the MT4G (Glacier), where it did for the MT4GS (Doubleshot).

What's wrong with ordering? If it's all about the waiting game, I understand. It took me about two weeks to get mine.

Anyway, if you want to broaden your search, can keep your eyes out for HTC Sensation / Z710E / Sensation XE / Z715E

/ HTC EVO 3D / HTC Shooter battery.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Crossvxm:
Ive seen some very cheap ones on Amazon and ebay (as low as $7) but its the headache of requiring a credit card/PayPal, etc. in order to order things. If that were the case, I'd have my first LG Optimus G's digitizer fixed myself in no time.

This MyTouch on the other hand, well it was my brother's old phone and after the battery began to inflate, it was handed to me since I'm like the "Android/technology freak" of the family. He can easily order it for me, but after ordering some specific accessories for his S4 which NEVER arrived, he does not trust ordering online.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Crossvxm:
Also, you mean the Evo 3D battery also fits the 4G Slide?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
It's supposed to. The Sensation battery can fit the EVO 3D. May not necessarily mean the EVO 3D battery will fit the Sensation, or by extension the MT4GS, but it's worth a shot.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Crossvxm:
Now that you mentioned it i saw a battery on ebay that said it was for the Evo 3D and MyTouch 4G Slide. Sad thing is that just a few days ago there was one listed for parts because the LCD/Digitizer was totaled and I checked and its gone :/

Lol wouldn't be much fun to ruin another cool phone from working by stealing the battery from it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SiberianLeopard:
Quick thing with Amazon. Go to a CVS or similar pharmacy and pick up a Amazon gift card for as low as $25.00 in cash and go to your Amazon account and apply the gift card. I did it to buy my own 4G Slide today! You can order anything on amazon without a credit card if you know how. I use Amazon for everything now, bought a reliable LG Phoenix, too! Using it while I'm waiting for the MT4GS to arrive. Amazon is WAY more trusted than Craigslist or Ebay.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Havokmon:
Ebay, IMHO

Or pick up an Ebay card, or just a plain old visa gift card.

I picked up a 3600mAh battery and cover for <$10. Yes, it's like two batteries back to back. It rocks.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SiberianLeopard:
I did something similar... I took the battery from a Samsung Galaxy Centura and hard-wired it to the terminals of my LG Phoenix so it's pretty much...Two batteries back to back!

Except it didn't do much to improve the battery life and I had it all together with duct tape. How is the extended battery, though? Is it worth it? I'm getting my Christmas bonus in January so I'm looking at some extra money. I mean, I picked up my MT4GS for $43 on Amazon... Should I get something different?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Xaekai:
If having online credit cards or PayPal is the problem, I concur with the idea of using an Amazon gift card. I've found Anker's 1900mAh battery quite satisfactory.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sarvavyapi:
I followed the instructions in the wiki to build a CM image for the grouper. When I do a "brunch grouper", I did not observe any errors, but there wasn't a recovery.img or a CM-[something].zip file as mentioned in the instructions.

What do I need to do in order to build those files? Looking at android/system/build/core/Makefile, I see targets like "recoveryimage" and "recoveryzip". Do I have to do something like "make recoveryimage" and "make recoveryzip" in order to get those files?

I searched on the XDA forums and on the net, but could not find anything similar to this.

Edit 1:

Doing a "make recoveryimage" created the recovery.img file but "make recoveryzip" did not create the CM-[something].zip

Thanks.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sarvavyapi:
Generating CM*.zip file

I was able to generate the zip file. The main issue was that Ubuntu by default uses OpenJDK while Cyanogenmod needs Oracle JDK. Downloading and using Oracle JDK and following rest of the steps mention in this xda-developers forum thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2634726) generated the zip file. Also make sure that you have plenty of swap space (atleast as much as your ram or twice of that if possible)

So recently, as in the last 2 years or so, I've been feeling very nostalgic. I had the Sidekick 2, 3, LX, 2008, 2009 and 4G (briefly, awful device). While mobile obviously has come a long way with Android (where I naturally went to the G1 after the downfall of DangerOS), I often miss the simplicity of the Danger / Hiptop / Sidekick UI. I've scoured the internet and haven't been able to find anything the emulates or mimics the functionality. Specifically the home / launcher with the radial scroll wheel and different screens dependent on what position you are on the wheel.

Anybody know of something I don't know about or am missing? I'd be willing to fork over a handful of dollars if any of the genius developers want to throw this together.

I've received an answer from official Sony support staff over at the Sony Mobile support forums, on a thread regarding which type of glass is used for the Z3C. It turns out that for the display, both Gorilla Glass 3 AND Dragontrail X are used. Unfortunately, no info on the rear glass:

"For the display glass we use both Gorilla 3 and Dragontrail X but i'm afraid i don't have any detailed information about the rear glass."

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LastQuark:
Is that a "and" or an "or"?

So those who have Gorilla glass breaks easily but harder to scratch.

Those who have Dragontrail scratches easily and harder to break?

Which? I heard users saying it is easy to scratch and easy to break! Perhaps, they are talking about the Z1 or Z2.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Alex2x3:
If this is true I think I may have gotten the Dragontrail version because I have been pretty careful with the phone os far and already have a small scratch on the upper right. I think I would choose scratch protection over drop protection in the end because scratches are drive me ****ing nuts.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LastQuark:
So if yours is a Dragontrail, use PET film. If Gorilla glass, use tempered glass. Problem solved!

Godzilla Glass and Dragontrail sound good but give me GG3. Corning Gorilla Glass.

And give me a gel case with outer shell and I will add glass screen protectors front and back.

The Manager at Sony Store Miami which does not have Z3 or Z3 C yet mentioned " Tempered Glass " for the back as what Sony calls it.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ilgreco112:
They use Both but you won't know Which is on your phone, like the z1c had Both jdi display and another lowcost brand so by chance you could get a superbright display or a not-so-good one.

After 5 days I have absolutely no microscratches. I still put it in my pocket with other things (not keys though). In addition GG 3 also gets scratched by harder materials like sand, glass, concrete. If you have sand in your pocket or mineral dust it will be scratched if it's not made of sapphire glass (which would be scratched by diamond)...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ikon8:
I've had my phone for 7 days now and I checked under the bright lights at work and I have a bunch of micro scratches on the back, very disappointing. My phone is carried in my pocket by itself, or set on my desk so I have no idea where such scratches could come from. It's only on the back though, the front looks fine, so maybe they're using some inferior glass for the rear.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Ilovetohateiphone:
I think gorilla glass 2/3 or dragon tail doesn't really make that much difference....

I read somewhere the key is the strength retention after the glass has been scratched. I think Gorilla 3 perform better to retain that strength. All of the glass has very similar spec.

Hey all, :cyclops:

I've rooted and modded my Xperia Z1 to infinity, and right now there's only one thing I wish I could do. I'm trying to perfect the device, but what's holding me back is being unable to add custom Quick Toggles.

I know it's possible, since the Xperia Xposed module creates new ones such as the flashlight too. Now I wish I could open any app I like with a separate toggle - I'm sure more would love this idea.

Is there any app, Xposed or not, that allows for custom quick toggles yet? I'm asking specifically for Xperia's quick toggles, since they're different from stock Android's quick toggles (I presume, as mods for stock didn't affect my Z1's toggles). Just an app to get a quick toggle opening one of the installed apps would do the job just fine already. This, in combination with Tasker, would make perfect customisable quick toggles :fingers-crossed:
