Never let your battery fully discharge (0%). Li-Ion battery doesn't have memory effect. So it's better charge your phone when 20%. There many article about this. Just google and you find it.

I'm sorry but "the rule" is totally wrong

Galaxy Grand 2 uses Lithium battery

And it's a smart battery, smart batteries needs to be calibrated

Keep it between a know cycle, let's say between ~40% and 80%

Because if you fully charge it and discarge it will make the smart battery forget that it is "smart"

Hope I was helpful

My Samsung Galaxy Grand does not charge

I am surprised that my mobile phone's battery does not get charged even though it shows charging signal on the mobile screen. I am using original samsung chargers but to no avail. I am compelled to use universal charger to recharge the battery. Does any one have any solution for the problem?

Thanks

I did a petition about this thing.If you don't know about the DRM keys read this http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...r-low-light-camera-performance-thanks-to-drm/ (it's available for the Z1/Z2 also ) i did this thread to collect the xperia users from all the forums related this problem.Maybe we can do something with this petition :rolleyes:

[Android General] ghostofcain:
Good luck, but personally I don't see much hope. Sony has made bootloader unlocking possible, for advanced users, people who jump in unprepared and lose DRM keys have only themselves to blame.
[Android General] funky0308:
Bad link

Gonna sign it :)
[Android General] Anonymuszymus:
Try now
[Android General] funky0308:
That's not quite correct.

Sony did make bootloader unlockable but even then you'll lose DRM keys.

Yes, you can backup them but you can't use them on another ROM then stock.

Even, I have to say, Sony did great things to improve and fix those things.

Now you won't lose camera, x-reality or any othet features then online services (if you unlock bootloader)

But still...on new device (Z3/Z3C) you'll lose a lot if you unlock it and there's no way to backup DRM (for now)
[Android General] Anonymuszymus:
The problems is that your camera has lower quality with unlocked bootloader...
[Android General] Pyres:
It's the opposite. The camera has better quality with stock locked bootloader. It is something *more* that Sony added, and can be used only with the stock ROM.
[Android General] Anonymuszymus:
Its writing the same thing there
[Android General] ghostofcain:
It isn't though, If you wish to unlock the bootloader certain proprietary Sony functions will be lost, this isn't imho an accident.
[Android General] Anonymuszymus:
Yeah but there was people who was not indicated about this and they lost the DRM keys.the petition is about to get those back for users who losed it.
[Android General] Rekoil:
Of course it isn't an accident, and you're completely right.

There's no law (at least not in my country) that states that I should be allowed to mess with my phones boot chain. Sony has made it possible to unlock the bootloader, if they feel that by doing so they are potentially making their intellectual property vulnerable then they have every right to try and protect that. Or, they could perhaps use it as an incentive for you not to muck about with your phone. Either way they're not doing anything that's illegal or wrong. It would be nice with an AOSP camera driver that worked as well as the stock camera does, but it's my choice if I want to give that up and experiment with my device, they are good guys for even providing me with that option in the first place.
[Android General] ghostofcain:
There are people who've unlocked their bootloaders without reading, sure. To expect Sony to help them out of a hole of their own making is naive, especially as some people trying to retrieve their lost DRM keys are trying to reinstate the warranty they voided by unlocking their bootloader. As I say best of luck but don't hold your breath.
[Android General] Furrydaus:
Users who lose their DRM keys only if they did not read the HUGE warning section in the official sony bootloader unlock page. SONY does bootloader locking to PROTECT what they have CREATED WITH THEIR PRECIOUS TIME as the DEVELOPERS at SONY are PEOPLE too and they want their work to be APPRECIATED and not replaced. If they do not implement this, people will go unlock bootloaders and do whatever they want. IT wont be called a SONY device anymore because of that....
[Android General] Anonymuszymus:
And please tell me now where i can found the DRM part on the bootloader unlocking warning? There is talk just about the warranty,not the camera degrades.they updated the text a few days ago for the z3 how i heard but c'mon ...this problem is here since the first z was released
[Android General] Furrydaus:
Some people really want to unlock their bootloader immediately when they get their device, I understand that. But if YOU know that SONY only updates their warnings a few days later, then YOU should have waited to check on another day. You did not use any type of inference to create a valid petition. A petition should only be done when there is a serious problem. SONY has a lot of things to do and they have all the rights to adjust their policy at any point in time. You as the user should be patient and not rush things. It ends up in problems for you and there's nothing you can do about it but whine because you were impatient. The general society is like that. I simply do not understand what our world is turning to.... Just petitioning anytime and anywhere.
[Android General] bb_hershey:
First of all, I have signed the petition and hoping Sony will release the fixes especially for the camera. I just bought this Z3 and this is my first Sony phone and I had no idea what the heck is a DRM keys. I saw Sony supported development by enabling bootloader to be unlocked but why the heck did they remove all their unique features? Yes they have the darn rights to keep their proprietary software but it defeats the purpose of allowing further development but removed their best selling features? My point is, might as well I pay a cheaper price for the China phones which hardware is equally as good as Sony for the development?

Development asides but I felt severely ripped off as I did not get any warning of DRM keys removal when I unlocked the bootloader and only after a few days, they updated their policy! Smart move to cover their arse huh?

Also if only they fixed the damn wifi dropping issues, I wouldn't even think of unlocking and root it just to have the temporary fix! Funny thing is I called in and they asked me to send back for RMA. Come on, RMA a new phone? I will never support Sony anymore.

So do you or don't you lose image quality after unlocking the BL on the z2??? I can't find a stright answer. I am getting yes and no, left and right, everywhere I ask.
[Android General] ghostofcain:
Personally no idea, I haven't yet found reason to unlock my bootloader.

Before I unlock anything, I usually do it when I'm within my 14 day return window... If it's pass my 14 days I make sure I have some type of insurance.
[Moto X Q&A] teamcoltra:
I was thinking of making the switch to a custom ROM (I have been rooted and such for a while now) but I was wondering if there are any ROMs that support the second processor for voice commands. I use these frequently, and really love them...

I also wouldn't mind the active display notifications but it's not a big deal if there isn't one.

I saw an old thread from 2007 but didn't think gravedigging it was a good idea, but I imagine this question is asked all the time so I am sorry if I missed a more recent thread.

Only stock based roms. Not cm/aosp roms.

To can have that functions the rom need to be stock, and stock are only 5.1 and 4.4, cm and other ROMs are other history , that have similar function like ambient display

Have you tried different cables and usb ports? A different pc as a last resort?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Make sure you have no other phone drivers installed (Samsung, etc.) and make sure all HTC drivers are uninstalled. Make sure you don't accept the option to automatically install HTC Sync when you connect the phone. After that, you should get the yellow exclamation point in Device Manager. Select the option to manually select the drivers, and pick the generic Android MTP device (or some similar description).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] trapper:
I'm looking at possibly getting the MDA Vario II in a few months on a web'n'walk tariff, but before I jump in I've decided to do some real indepth research;

- Does the handset support "push" e-mail?

- I have a GMail account which I use as my primary account; can I use this as a "push" mail account at all?

- Is it/will it be compatible with Windows Vista and Office 2007?

- Does it have Adobe Acrobat reader? Or is it compatible with the handset?

- Is it compatible with a TomTom 910 unit?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] trapper:
I've since attained that it does support push e-mail, but I don't know what to do with my GMail account, any suggestions are welcomed.

The TomTom unit is dubious, but I'm game for a laugh.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] patmannyc:
GMail doesnt support push. You can fwd gmail to a free exchange account. Please search for details.

PDF viewer is pre-installed. "adobe Acrobat" is not, but based on the former the latter isn't necessary.

It is compatible w/vista, not sure about Office 2007.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lucas0511:
@Trapper

I forward GMail to a free mail2web.com Live Push Email account, works great. But keep in mind that Push email generates network traffic, so get a good data plan, or use polling settings very carefully (disable when roaming).

Friend of mine is using his Tytn with TT 910 over Bluetooth, works.

Outlook 2007 with Tytn works fine, using it since a few months, never had a problem. Just keep in mind that Outlook Mobile on your Tytn cannot read the new .docx Word format, so save in old .doc format. Office can also save directly to PDF, which you can port to your Tytn.

Think about the Tytn´s keyboard and size involved, if you dont need it, get the Trinity instead.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] trapper:
How much does it cost? I've had a quick look and I can't work it out. Also, does this mean that I won't be able to access my account at www.google.com/mail and it will be filtered?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ninja1:
The free mail2web live account is...Free! You will still be able to access your email from gmail.com.

Ninja1
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] diseage:
You can set gmail up as a pop account. It doesn't "Push" but you can have the phone automatically check the account periodically.

It is compatible with Vista. Vista even has a nice little new program that replaces ActiveSync that works pretty well. It's still in beta, and thus has a few quirks, but works pretty well.

Yes it supports push email. I have mine coming through an exchange server.

It has a PDF reader built-in, but I prefer the mobile version of Foxit pdf reader.

No idea about the TomTom though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fyrestrtr:
Perhaps some more information that can help you :)

As others stated, it does support push email. mail2web is a good free exchange service. Another one is 4smartphone (not free).

To get push email to work with gmail (or any other email).

1. Sign up with mail2web or any other exchange host. i-mate provides this for free for their users after you sign up at their site.

2. Set up the sync settings on the device. Things to watch out here:

* You cannot set up an external exchange service on the device when it is plugged into the PC with ActiveSync running (the menu is disabled on the device). You must disconnect it from the USB and then add a new server resource.

3. Forward your email to your mail2web (or other exchange) account. In gmail there are two ways to do this. Either you forward all mail to mail2web, or you setup a filter so that only certain mail is forwarded. I prefer the filter method because I do not want to have mailing list emails forwarded to my device. To setup my filter, I just put my gmail address in the To: box, and then had the action set to forward it to my mail2web. This way, only messages directed to me will be forwarded, not those going to the mailing list address.

Mail appears in both places: in your gmail inbox and on the phone. If you delete from the phone, it only removes it from your exchange account and not from your gmail inbox.

4. For all other accounts, you can set them up separately in the device and have it poll the servers every 5 or 10 minutes. I use this for our corporate IMAP server.

5. Your push email shows up in your Outlook E-mail folder in messaging.

I have used it with Outlook 2007 without incident. There is a new ActiveSync beta out which helps.

I'm not sure about TomTom -- but any bluetooth receiver will work. I have used Navigon5 and I can confirm it works.

Hope this helps :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] trapper:
Another question, which is of a big concern to me is; do T-Mobile UK release ROM updates for the handset? And if so where from?

When I worked for o2, we released them through www.my-xda.com and that was a dream to install and action.

One final question, is it possible that future Hermes ROMs may use Crossbow?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] whoster69:
Thanks for the info fyrestrtr. It sounds like if you use a service like mail2web, you can view your mail on your phone using push and still use your Gmail account but that any messages you view over your phone won't get marked as read in your Gmail account until you view them there as well. Is this correct?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lucas0511:
Very unlikely to ever see an official upgrade from HTC, HTC has their mind set on 2007 models, not the old Hermes. Even ROM updates will address just the most pressing issues, dont expect miracles these days :-)

Yes Mail2Web works as you assume. Just carefull with Push polling traffic, can amount to up to 15 megs per month just for polling. If you ride on a low volume data plan, you might get burned....

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varignet:
Hi, I have a problem with my sony z3 compact, the notification dropdown dropsdown often with a very light tap.

It's so sensitive that the notification bar drops often by itself by tapping apps buttons which are at the top of the screen (back in gmail, whatsapp etc.)

Try it for yourself by tapping lightly at the base of the "o" on the sony logo.

is this a hardware fault with my unit or does your z3 compact do the same?

Luca
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
I think it's meant to behave that way.

Do you sometimes have the problem where home screens, pictures, etc bounce back unintended when you swipe through them?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varignet:
I made a video illustrating the issue:

http://youtu.be/YOXADb5NgPI

I suppose it is a software choice rather than a hardware one, however my samsung S4 and my old experia ray don't behave this way. You must slide the finger vertically over a portion of the screen to enable the notification dropdown, tapping would not automatically drop down the full notification screen. To me this sounds like a problem because it makes it hard to click buttons at the top of the screen most as of the time the damned notification menu drops down covering the whole screen.

I searched for an option under settings to change the notification settings but either I can't find it or there isn't anything to change it from tap to slide.

Regarding your question I'm not sure, I don't think so. The only issue I noticed (aside from the notification dropdown activated by tap (really annoying) is the camera:

If you set a lock option and unlock the phone by using the camera icon, and then you change the camera mode the phone locks itself again. Basically the 'unlock using the camera icon' let's you take pictures with the selected camera mode without unlocking the phone, but you still have to unlock the phone to use any other phone feature.

It does that for me as well, I think it's normal for this device, maybe Sony programmed it that way.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varignet:
Thanks for the fast reply, don't you find that the statusbar drops down accidentally too often when navigating the top portion of the screen? it's a bit annoying IMHO (or perhaps I have big hands :D )

I'll need to check in the play store to see whether there are apps that let you change the way the notification bar is activated
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
It hasn't bothered me, so far.

Though I just checked on my Xperia Z2 Tablet and it doesn't behave that way on that one. Maybe the Z3C's touch screen is just too sensitive, as a side effect of the technology that makes the glove mode possible?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B60caaAbz4M

Has this never happened to you with this phone? Mostly when using it with one hand only.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varignet:
No it hasn't (but I need to pay more attention when using a single hand, will get back to you ). I tend to use two hands because, being the device so smooth I need to be careful and fight gravity quite a lot, I managed to almost drop it two times as it tends to slide from my hand
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
Alright. Which firmware version is yours on, by the way?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techguyone:
It is sensitive, although for me it took me until now to see, I guess I don't tend to touch the very top of the screen.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varignet:
where do I find the firwmare version?

p.s.

Did you find a way to move apps to the sdcard? I can't seem to find an option to do so under settings apps.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordtyr85:
Same

I have the same Problem with the sensitive notification menu... just lightliy tap anywhere close to it and it springs down and covers the whole screen. Coming from iOS where these things weren't even an issue, it's very annoying. It's currently the main reason why I want to try a different ROM.... Problem is I'm somehow unable to unlock my bootloader, and even then I'm not yet sure how to change the ROM. Damn, on iOS things were so simple... jailbreak tool, go to cydia, customise everything however I want....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boojay:
Not sure if this will solve your problem, but you can check out All In One Gestures from the Play Store and activate tapping the status bar to do "nothing" by leaving it blank.

Edited: N/m, just tried it, didn't work. Still a useful app though! I'm using it for full immersive mode, so that's kind of another way to solve the status bar problem.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varignet:
I gave it a go and it didn't work either, sony must do some lowerlevel tweaking to the notification bar.

I hope they fix it soon
