Now that you mention it, I remember reading somewhere about safe strap, I'm gonna look into it now...

Nice that's more convenient because I have mixed up everything, chords, earphone, etc between Note 2, 3 and 10.1. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mircury:
safestrap and keeping knox aren't related. There are two ways of getting root.

1. The bootloader which is digitally signed. A phone with an unlocked bootloader will allow you to flash a special recovery which will flash the files needed for root into the stock rom on your phone. It will then flash the stock recovery back. The special recovery phase is what sets the knox flag because you didn't have a stock recovery at that point. CF-Auto Root by chainfire uses this method.

2. An exploit. To be able to use an exploit one has to be found first. A flaw in the rom has to be found. This takes time. Then, an attack vector has to be found to try and take advantage of it. This takes more time. Once it has been tested and works then you get something like towelroot. The bootloader and kernel which are both signed were never touched so the knox flag was not tripped.

Safestrap is only possible after root has been obtained and it was a way for phones with a locked bootloader to be able to use "custom roms". I put that in quotes because you couldn't change the kernel. It had to use the stock kernel. This means no AOSP and no future versions of Android unless the OEM (Samsung) and carrier officially make one. It was basically making lemonade out of lemons; the best you could hope for with a locked bootloader.

perfect explanation for those of us that have been away from Samsung phones for awhile! :good:

thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p()()pypants:
Thanks for the explanation!

I knew about exploits and custom recoveries with unlocked bootloaders but was completely unfamiliar with what safe strap was for, was just a name I came across when briefly searching knox info...

I'm hoping for an exploit to come out to avoid tripping knox...

Gonna run stock for a bit, see how it feels without removing bloatware, let the awesome promising developers have done fun n fine tune some Roms then I may have a real reason to root... but I expect with unwanted apps just hidden, this hardware should be able to run smoothly... I will miss TiBu, Xposed framework and adblocker though more than anything...

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hello community , I have a Moto G xt1032 with 4.4.2 out of the box . I updated on 4.4.4. Now I want to have 4.3, because I don't like some new features in 4.4.4 . Yes, my bootloader is unlocked. I can, thanks to Bl4ckL3gend from Android Hilfe (forum), go back to 4.4.2. This works fine ( cause i can not paste links here, just search this in google and click the 2. Link: Moto G downgrade 4.3 Android Hilfe ). But if I use his 4.3 downgrade, it don't fail directly. The process goes through completely , but the device does not start . It appears only the bootlogo for about 5 seconds. Then the phone turns off, and again 5 seconds boot logo . I do not really know what I'm doing wrong. Can any one help me . Thanks in advance - Freakfussel

Dude, it's bricked, permanently. You flashed the incorrect image which has corrupted trusted partitions that you no longer have write access to. It's bricked. I don't know how many other ways we can say it. The only way to fix the phone is to get a new motherboard.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avantiel:
My phone has UB and been using different custom roms, but nothing outside of stock roms. I never overclocked it, but the top half of the phone would get warm from normal use. After using it for about a half hour I put it on the bed, with nothing else near it. I was the only person in the room, and after 10 minutes, I picked up my phone and realised the screen was broken. The phone was cold, so i realised my air conditioning was directly blowing onto the phone for the past 10 minutes. So i assumed, it was the hot and cold mixture that caused the LCD to shatter into 5 hairline cracks.

I recently carried it to a very good technician, who replaced my LCD with a witrigs.com replacement screen. He did a very good job, but from day 1 i've noticed the upper half of the phone gets hot randomly throughout the day with little use. The longer I keep the screen on, the hotter the phone got, and sometimes i would use the phone for long periods without it getting extremely hot. Today I tried to use the camera in broad sunlight and I got the error that the camera had to close to cool down my Xperia.

Does anyone have any tips as to why its over heating or what could solve it? I've tried different roms and kernels but nothing changes.

You can see at the bottom of the phone is where the crack started and it split thruout the entire LCD

As long as you have the adapter you're good I suppose.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] aaronchi24:
Don't buy the magnector. It doesn't fit flush into the charging port on the z3. U had to return mine and buy something off of eBay.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Iruwen:
90% of what can be purchased on eBay doesn't charge at full speed and has an inferior magnet. I'd simply modify the adapter with a sharp knife or scalpel if if doesn't fit perfectly.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] aaronchi24:
You can try but the thing that doesn't fit is the metal plate between the two charge connectors and I doubt you are going to be able to modify that. Someone posted a link to an official sony magnetic cable in another thread.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] AznDud333:
i got mine this week and it fits perfectly
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] CollinsJ:
Same
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] ChiGGz:
It "Fits" as far as the port snapping into place and charging. However, that's only the metal part, there's also the plastic from the charger that doesn't sit flush against the phone. This allows it to roll up and down and is very weak against this direction of force. So even when just picking up my phone, it slightly disconnects just enough that it stays on, but stops charging until re-seated. These are far from perfect, just acceptable...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] CollinsJ:
Its a magenet, it charges my phone, is only a issue if I am trying to use it while it is charging which I don't. Works well. Personally planning to use a phone with a magnet stuck to the side isn't something I would expect to work perfectly as it is in the middle of the side of the phone and I would want to hold said phone.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaalad12:
Its insane lol Iam coming from a htc one and this easily lasts double what i got from the htc! Now i have adjusted my settings to help with battery life, I always do when i get a new phone. I turn alot of stuff off that aint being used and only turn them on if need be! None the less this is by far the best battery life i have ever experienced from a phone! It also drains consistently where as with the htc it used to drop from 100 - around 96 within a few minutes and then when it got to 30 it seemed to suddenly start draining faster! I took this off charge at 100 and left in standby for over 4 or 5 hours and it was still at 100%
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
I had great battery life when I first got mine. Since I updated the software, it's tanked.

I have repaired and factory reset it and i've optimised everything with battery savings, but went from 8 hours SOT and two day battery to around 6 screen on and at about 20% when I go to bed after one day.

HTC One M8 gave me around 6 hours screen on time, and lasted a day and a half.

Hoping this sorts itself out, as the screen temperature issue, speaker notification volume, and now battery life, is not enough to of justified my jumping ship :/ (Even though I really wanted it because it's waterproof) lol.

All that said, the battery life even now is excellent still.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CandyAndy:
It's not that good as some people say but still ok. I would say that maybe 20-30% better than htc one m8. This means that you can easily go through the work day but if you would be go out after the work day (partying) you would be a bit worried if the battery lasts.

I am actually disappointed by the battery. It's down to 80% after just an hour and a half with medium usage. How is it going to last 2 days like that? Don't know if my phone is a faulty device or I am doing something wrong. It's charging now, I will put up some screenshots if it's still bad. Everything else is perfect so the battery being bad (which should be the best thing with this phone) is making me sad :/

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
I'm struggling to get 4 hours of screen time before it dies after less than a day. No apps at all hogging the battery or anything like that.

Standby battery seems to be awful, even with stamina mode on blocking everything other than facebook messenger and gmail. It's losing 1% an hour, which doesn't sound bad, but my Galaxy Note 3 was draining 1% every three hours on both stock rom and Cyanogen 11. Moto G 2014 similarly does around 1% every 2-3 hours.

Standby for the most part should be represented by an almost perfectly straight line in battery stats, but on the Z3 its a constant curve downwards, much like the standby battery bug in the OnePlus One.

I'm in a full 4 bar LTE area as well, so it's not poor signal doing the damage.

The strangest of all, is the first day I had the phone it managed to get me through 2 full days easily. That included 8 hours of music streaming over bluetooth each day, and 4 hours screen time. Yesterday I was just over 3 hours screen time after 17 hours, and it was on 6% battery, including the 8 hours or so music streaming. That is exceptionally poor compared to both the Note 3 and Moto G.

But who knows, maybe disabling all the bloatware is causing issues. Either way I'll have a replacement device from amazon tomorrow which hopefully wont have the screen issues or bluetooth/wifi dropouts (thoguh I suspect that is software related).

I had z2 so will offer comparison on battery. It does last longer than z2 by approx 20-30%, on my usual usage with z2 I was at approx 15% remaining by end of the day, with the z3 I'm at about 35%ish.

Heavy use and relatively bright screen.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Don't have one handy from then, but I disabled stamina mode today, and after 12 hours I have 50% battery left and 2.5 hours screen time. At least half an hour or so of that was playing Goat Simulator and FIFA 15. I'd say 60% brightness or so.

The device was hot as hell when gaming as expected, but it seemed to sip battery compared to other phones I've used. The Note 3 I had used to last 2 hours at most when gaming for example.

I really wish Sony would remove the awful "Estimated remaining" thing under power management though, it's so inaccurate. It seems to think I'd get around 12 hours of standby between each charge, even though I've just had 12 hours of heavy-ish use!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Ok I'm almost certain I have a dud. The battery life on this thing is AWFUL. Plain and simple. I also have everything greenified aside from messenger and gmail.

I did that to test the standby battery. From 2am to 9am, it was great, only 2% at most drained. Except from that point till around 1:30pm it drops rapidly to 16% from 26%.

There is 0 explanation for this in either battery stats or GSam.
