[Xperia Z1 General] olokos:
Thanks man! You actually should post that to dev thread as it's clearly helpful for us. I'm not sure why is it a kernel feature. Please answer me and post useful information like this in the dev thread. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] lagalaga:
Does this work on ZU? ;)

Busy with real life, but watching very closely. Have to update to 4.4.4 first. Are we still trying to port latest z2 as well or is it all z3 now?
[Xperia Z1 General] olokos:
I don't know. Do you actually own a ZU instead of Z1? :o

I see no point with Z2. Let's just go straight to Z3.

I'm glad to see you here again :D
[Xperia Z1 General] ->---:
If it is ported please port it also to CM base.

I know that now Sony is supporting its phones with regular updates. But the speed in which they and others put out new models lets me suppose, that this will stop after a time. The more models, the earlier this will happen. And because of the huge amount of phone models in general, the community is already getting thinner and thinner, spread between the different manufacturers and types. So the chance of getting the latest bits of good corporate software for different types of phones is decreasing. Just focusing on stock based ROMs means, to exclude a whole part of the ROM ecosystem.
[Xperia Z1 General] olokos:
I'm not sure whether that would be possible as there are probably tons of dependencies, but I'd try to keep it in mind if we're finally completely done with all of the features from Z3 on the Z1.

I have to thank you for the second part as I haven't thought about it this way. I was wondering why Z1 developers base is so small, but that's like exactly why. I hate Sony for putting up new flagships every 6 months and leaving older devices with just what they initially got. Like smart call handling, my god. It requires none work to get it on the Z1 yet Z1 never officially got it. Sony makes me so mad about this and I'm actually in doubt whether my next device will be Sony again.

Don't worry though guys, I won't get a new one in about 1,5 year or more ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] fer2503:
i think the same. Sony marketing is really bad. we can see for example the drm questions of x-reality and bionz, or the poor color and gamma calibration, or the features that sony doesn't implement in "old" devices. Sony make good phoone with bad software and poor implementations
[Xperia Z1 General] sucker for sony's:
Hi guys i have been playing with this for a little while now and one thing i have found is that you can flash tomascus's files straight over the top of the z2camera port and still have working 4k etc. Have been trying to get facein working with this in amoungst other changes and so far for facein i have got the logcat for the camera down to just two errors, i believe we may need to use the attached libs from z3 vendor lib to make it work? Ive gotta go to work now so havent tried them yet.

This lib zip also includes my changes in vendor/camera:

[Xperia Z1 General] sucker for sony's:
Just tried my last post, only the img lib worked for me. Dont use the media provider apk from the z3 it is patched to ignore the platform permissions mod and stop apps writing to sdcard1.
[Xperia Z1 General] fer2503:
So the zip doesn't work?
[Xperia Z1 General] sucker for sony's:
No the files are for testing purposes.
[Xperia Z1 General] mitsosJL:
Any progress with face in??? :/
[Xperia Z1 General] sucker for sony's:
[MENTION=4300205]olokos[/MENTION] this is how far i have got with my own attempt, the camera is broken but now loads the new modules, i am stuck with two faults on the logcat which are 1-unable to get camera sensors, 2-unable to get video size or invalid. I had a quick look through the z3 framework and there seems to be a lot of camera related changes and the cacao libs also function diffrently.

Do not flash this it is for developers only (camera broken): https://mega.co.nz/#!08lTDaTK!Vz-nlKbKan8Hp3mqQt6nQd-RYGiN1qkOVeTEUyZAuYI

Edit: my device is a Z1
[Xperia Z1 General] tomascus:
ahhh i had the same thing, i'll probably work on this more after exams end in 3 weeks time
[Xperia Z1 General] lagalaga:
Can I get a short summary on:

* What's the exact goal? (e.g. "get face-in working", "port whole z3 camera")

* What's the current progress?

I've been reading the threads, but it's hard to follow what exactly is working.

I gather some initial stuff like video recording is working, so there is feature parity to z1 and z2.

I tried porting Face-In today - or rather, tried porting all camera libs from Z3 to Z1C. Only got as far as a bootloop.
[Xperia Z1 General] tomascus:
So atm I won't be doing anything til my summer break soon (I live in Australia),

our aim is to get the z3 camera w/ libs fully functioning + 4k
[Xperia Z1 General] olokos:
We want to port every single useful Z3 functionality.
[Xperia Z1 General] lagalaga:
Apparently the z2 will get do.even camera goodies from the z3. I don't know the details yet. Maybe that will be easier to port. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...dds-ps4-remote-play-hi-res-audio-camera-apps/
[Xperia Z1 General] olokos:
I'm considering waiting for lolipop update as more features might be added, what do you reckon?
[Xperia Z1 General] lagalaga:
Lollipop comes next year. I don't really need the new features, I am just doing this for sport :)

Since Z2 got all the new stuff, are there similar updates planned for the Z1?

I flashed the libs from the new z2 build (starting with 23...) and it bootloop. Exact same symptoms as witz the z3 libs. I wonder what I am missing :)
[General Topics] m3sSh3aD:
Hi again,

Bit of another weird question but i'm looking up applications that have issues such as memory leaks, Power drain Issues and a like. TBH, any application there is out there from sat nav to gaming, From simple notepads to full office suites. Everything and anything basically. Wanting to make a comprehensive list so that when we get our 'reports' sent to us it will flag up the particular application the customer is using that may be a issue. Even ones that have issues with certain versions of android.

Again, Thanks for any help
[General Topics] m3sSh3aD:
Ok then, Let me rephrase the question,

What applicatiuons do people know about that cause issues. From malware like GluMobi to Memory leaks of mGlow or Resource Hogs like hotmail to network hogs like netflix. Security issues like the one in apache cordova 3.5 and below to simple storage eaters like The SIms Freeplay.

ANY issue, not matter how big or small basically that can cause ANY potential problem. Technically, Its going be a HUGE list

Bugs, Battery Drain, Issues with certain versions of Android, battery drain, LITERALLY anything, No matter how big or small.

Thanks again
[General Topics] RobbyRobbb:
It's flat-out impossible to maintain an accurate list of what you're asking for. Most issues reported in most cases would be fixed within a few days as the apps get updated. Simply asking people to report these things is also a dangerous precedence and an ineffective way of doing it as there will be prejudice left and right, users reporting subjective information that isn't technically true and/or applicable to their specific phones and/or ROMs only. And how would you make comparison? How slow, leaky, disruptive etc does an app need to be to make it on the list? What if an app gets added that had real issues, gets fixed the day after, and then remains on your list for several more months because no new reports are coming in? It would be rather unfair to the developer(s).

Any truly disruptive apps are eventually removed and banned from ALL app repositories as the app host gets complaints about it (like Google bans apps from Play Store), so there's no reason to make a list of them here.

If i misunderstand your intentions with this list, i'm sorry. But you have more explaining to do before this idea makes any sense.
[General Topics] m3sSh3aD:
Im in total agreement with what you say and this is just an extra feature that we are adding to what we already have. I work for a company in the UK and our intentions with this is we already have a system that checks clients hardware/software for what it has as we do a lot of work for many other big companies in the uk (all of them basically) as we have some very good engineers here. THe idea behind this database is just to flag certain things that may be causing issues and its more for internally than anything external although that as come up in meetings about adding this feature to the program we plan to release in the near future where 'certain' clients will be able to access our databases with our app we provide them. This is all preliminary at the moment and as i say, For our internal use only. This is why im looking for such a vast catalogue of problems, whether rumour or not

is not an issue at present. I'm just building the bare bone of this to test out how it works against our other databases and how easy/effective it will be working with what we already have.

Thanks for your answer and that's the conclusion we were at also. The fact that pre bundled software as total access to all information is kind of worring which we have dug up. This allows other programs that can get access to any of that information if it can pull a request from said bundled software. Example would be a program that requests use from the bundled program to read a PDF file (with the bundled software been a PDF reader). This is given access and then allows all the privileges of the bundled software. This is very very dangerous and a concern as most phone companies chuck plenty of bundled software (often not wanted by the consumer) on to there phones.

I was working on the 2G,3G,4G radios on all major phones the other week so im accustomed to A LOT of data entry :)

Thanks for your help my friend, Its good to know what we thought would be true but we have dug up a few other issues by doing this, So its not all a loss :)

EDIT: A piece of software still available and apparently malware/spyware is droiddream (bicchali.harish.droiddream) from what i can find on it. Also, Livelocker (net.livelocker) looks as if its got malware/spyware. As you say, What defines spyware is different in different peoples opinions but me personally am dubious about everything, As i think everyone should be but they are not. People just don't care as long as they have their facebook and crap lol. Point of interest about facebook, Funded to the tune of 12.8 Million by In-Q-Tel to get going, WHich was formed by the CIA. Just a little nugget there :)
[General Topics] m3sSh3aD:
I'm surprised no one as ANYTHING to say on the matter, Even if it's just on a whim that they hate app for x, y,& z. I have plenty personally lol :)

Can I upgrade to a newer G3 ROM immediately or should I have IPL/SPL 2.x.

IPL1.01

SPL1.06

GSM01.01.10

OS 1.1.7.5
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kdskamal:
Upgrade to the latest ROM. If it doesnt pick up signals, just flash it with the Cingular 1.x radio :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Johnnnnnnnnnny:
at first: flash any official 2.x ROM

second: Flash the 2.x ROM, what you need

Laptop won't detect phone, tried different PCs, different USB cables, and even got the USB port changed but still no luck. When I connect it to my LED TV, the phone says it is connected in USB mode and disk drive option works. However, when connected to laptop, it goes only into charging mode. Downloaded the HTC Sync Manager too but still no detection of the phone whatsoever. Help, pls?

I tried on Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8. The hardware manager says NOTHING, there is no notification when the phone is connected.

I bought it off the internet a month back. The guy I got it from said he never rooted it. So, no custom rom or any modding done yet. I'm currently using Ubuntu, this too doesnt detect my phone. And I tried again on my LED TV but the USB Connection was established in like 2 seconds so there's no problem with the port or the cable. What drivers do you use? My phone doesnt even get detected by the HTC Sync.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bigmase23:
Per my chat this morning:

GeraldC: I have checked on the order details and I can see that yes, your current order is being back ordered. Due to the high demand of the device our inventory isn't able to suffice all order from activations and upgrades. The estimated delivery date is 6 weeks from the date the order was made.

You: wow, will it be better to get it from the store?

GeraldC: That depends on the available inventory on our store, you can head to the nearest store on your location to check if there's available one.

You: when are the stores supposed to get them?

GeraldC: Usually if a store runs out of stock, the estimated delivery date is 6 weeks as well since the device is ordered and coming straight from the manufacturer.

You: Do you know when the stores will begin to receive them?

GeraldC: As of now the information is not made available for us, it would be best if you head to the nearest store so that they can give you specific date based on the day when they have made an order for their inventory.

Take it for what it's worth...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] JDogg5281:
when did you pre-order yours? Mine also says backorder but what's crazy is mine went from pending shipping to backorder.

And what inspired your "chat"? Any indication on your online status that prompted you to call in or just curious?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] csmits:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] JDogg5281:
Hope your right. I went to my local t mobile store on Saturday and the rep told me that my note 4 should be delivered on the 16th or 17th. He said he was pretty confident of that. Sidenote.. on my order status page under order history it does say backorder where it use to say pending shipping.....hopefully that's because it is not available yet.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] p()()pypants:
Stores get them sometimes a full week before release dates. Sometimes they even do a "soft release" when they have it in stock but not on display. You have to know they have it in stock and request it though and there is no way to know that unless a rep tells you or you are in there asking every day.

I got my vibrant (sgs1) this way.... was in store looking to upgrade from my G1 to a g2... saw someone looking at a vibrant right next to me playing Avatar on it n I was like.. "ummmmmm, what phone is that?" Told it was a vibrant, not officially on sale till the next week but I could get it now if I requested it by name cause they had them in stock and were doing a "soft release".

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BobbyWilde:
It is a mess.

Yea, I don't think I'm going to pre-order again in the future, this whole process does seem messy.

For my situation, I have a 4 Year Anniversary so I decided I'd get us a pair of Note 4s. I called the rep and one I was just going to order on my account and the other I was just paying outright for it. Well the rep couldn't process them both at the same time because it triggered some fraud warning. (Oh I was also ordering one of the WiFi calling routers). So after a bit of a hold she came back and said she would have to separate each item and buy them on separate days.

So that day I got the Black one ordered, the next day she called back and got the white one ordered, and finally the 3rd day she called back to order to the WiFi calling router. At that point everything looked great, all orders pending, I was a happy camper (though still wasn't liking the fact that it appears I would get it a couple days after release due to shipping, which after reading the posts here seems like that might be debatable and they might actually arrive early).

Well fast forward a couple days, I was checking the orders cause I'm crazy and impulsive like that and just noticed an update. On my Black N4 and Router they both say 'Pending' still. My White N4 however is now saying backorder! Having a bit of a freakout cause its an anniversary present and timing is critical. And to make matters worse, everyone I seem to talk to says something a bit different and so I've come to the conclusion that nobody really knows. Some say 'Oh our system just says that, but there will be plenty available' or 'I'm sure it will still be sent on time because we haven't had that many orders come in' to 'Oh, yes there has been a very high demand, maybe you can give the one that does make it and yours will just have to wait' or 'The system had a minor glitch and has now been corrected, because of this we now have an update on our stock and thus many orders have been changed accordingly'.

Sooooo yea. Here is keeping my fingers crossed, but just wanted to share that on my account I have two order and one says Pending and the other says Backorder.

Edit: Just to let you know this order process was on 9/24 (black one), 9/25 (white one), 9/26 (router).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DrexelDragon:
This thread is stupid and pointless. CS knows nothing more than anyone else yet people insist on posting this stuff as fact.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Baratheonist:
I've ordered from T mobile several times in the past and my experience is: online is better than calling. E.g. the phone reps didn't know anything about the wifi router at launch and even ordered the wrong device for me.

The online order status checker is also so inaccurate. I had status updates saying back-ordered, only to get a tracking number the same day.

I wouldn't pay attention to those updates until the 15th and even then would only bother with "shipped" status.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] JDogg5281:
If its dumb then why are you trolling the thread then??
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] shook187:
Really guys? You really think the Note 4 will be backorder? Smh... Shame on you guys who are constantly looking up your orders for little changes in its status, when we all know what the delivery date will be

I will never buy any phone at the store. They want to open your new phone up and put finger print all over it and check for content! If you mail order it, it is brand new and unopened and no checking for content. Why is this a double standard?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aooga:
What? :confused: I've bot plenty of phones in store and they never open it up and "check for content". What does that even mean? I always say, "please don't open it, I'll activate it myself." That's all they're doing anyway...putting the sim card in and handing it to you even if you don't say "don't open it".

Same here (Order Processing) from a JUMP! Upgrade, but my online time of order was 9/24/14 @ 1:59pm, with absolutely NO staus updates or changes to account-status... Personally, I am worried, bc I expected a little more updating/status info after placing the order, but had NO communication whatsoever (or change in statis/activity)... I have seen a lot on the forums of updates/txts/emails etc. and I have received NONE of this info/communication... Now hearing about all of the backorders and system-issues makes me believe that my order is ome of those that was lost in the system without any updating status... After calling into CSRs on 3-4 different occasions and 4 hrs+ of discussions, all of them relay different info feom "we can't do anything - it is a JUMP! order" to we will place another order to back this one, so u don't lose ur spot in the pre-order "line", and the JUMP! order will just cancel out once the order processes @ launch, to you need to go to a store to complete the JUMP! transaction and hope they have supplies in stock to complete the upgrade at the time of retail launch... Kind of frightening to realize I did what I was supposed to, to reserve my pre-order & device, and not one person can accurately describe any resolution of the matter (to my content, anyway) or even have some sort of common reply from the employees as to what is going on, or what needs to be done... I am starting to feel lile I am either gonna het hammered with more than one device, and the financial commitment that comes with it, or get nothing at all with a big "we are so sorry about this, but due to high demand nothing can be done until we receive our next supply of units (6-8 wks etc...) The whole process is killing me, and I have been with T-Mobile and pre-ordering upgrades/JUMP!-upgrades since the company's birth (in my location) never having an issue that they couldn't resolve before I was off the phone with them... Grrrrrrr guess we'll see what we see??
