thats really good news, if 4.4.4 its released for the korean version of S4 mini in the future will be released to the international version of the phone. just like 4.4.2 was released first to regional versions of the phone (us & canada) and after that to the international version.
[General Questions and Answers] emv1031:
Hi... not sure if this is the correct area to post this, sorry if it isn't. Looking for some insight on some SD CARD issues.... been on Google all day with no luck. Here's my situation:

Recently bought an Asus HD Pad tablet. I read that the max card it'll hold is 32 GB but also read of people that have used 64 without a problem. Since that was something that I was able to do on my tab 2 I went ahead and bought a Kingston 64 GB SDXC. Before formatting to Fat32 I just placed it in and it was recognized just fine, with the full storage amount available and everything. Yesterday I started putting some movies on it but even though the files transfered fine once I went to the tablet they were there but the movies wouldn't run, like if the files were corrupted. From there I assumed I was not gonna dodge the format to Fat32 so I went ahead and did it...I transfered 3 out of 5 movies fine but when trying to add the other two I would gt the error saying that the properties of the file couldn't be transfered. I read up a bit and learned that FAT32 is a bit more limited as far as transferring certain properties from files than NTFS. So I formatted to NTFS. Put all 5 movies and they worked just fine. After this I decided to transfer about 8 gigs of music and some pictures.... they apparently transfered fine but when I go on the tablet and access the music and pictures folders it says NO FILES Are in them. I go to storage info and it does reflect that the 8+ gigs on music and pics are beige used but the file explorer show the folders empty... the movies are still there. If I try to delete the folders from the tablet I get an error that it can't be deleted or permission denied (depending on which file explorer I use). If I connect back to the PC and click the folders I get an error saying the folder is corrupted and can't delete them either. I'm getting the feeling that the SD card was not working flawlessly from the get go but would sure appreciate any input, suggestions, ideas, etc... also wondering if it might be because the SD card size is too big for the tablet.

:confused::confused::confused:

Thank you and sorry about the long post!
[General Questions and Answers] NOOK!E:
This issue you're having is definitely because of the size of the SD card. Most devices are not made to accept such a large one, and I bet you anything that if you get a 32g SD card, it'll work perfectly.

:)
[General Questions and Answers] emv1031:
Yeah that's what I thought so.... question.... you think there might be a way to "shrink" those 64 Gb down to 32, so that the tablet thinks it's a 32?? just to test if that takes care of the problem before buying another SD?

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] NOOK!E:
Actually, if I'm not mistaken, there is!

I don't remember exactly how to do it, but I know this much - first, you need to put the empty SD card into your device. Then, boot into ClockworkMod. Navigate to the Advanced submenu. This is where my memory gets a little fuzzy, but I think there is a "Repartition SD card" option or something like that inside that submenu that, when used properly, can be used to completely resize an SD card.

I did this a good while ago, so that's why I don't remember that well, but hopefully it will work for you.

BTW - I was on an 18 month contract (200 mins) with 6 months to run and was quoted £100 to upgrade - but at the till this cahnged to £30 with another £50 to bundle copilot - so I was a lot happier than I expected to be... It seems the prices have just changed. I'm a £25 a month spender btw.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaco2:
I'm panicking like crazy right now because I was stupid enough to try and flash CM11 on my note 3, having no knowledge whatsoever about flashing. So, reading the "how to install" it said to wipe data, and I did. However, my backup is gone as well, and everything else except my pictures, numbers and messages. All apps are gone, even play store, and I think my root is gone as well. Excuse my poor English, I'm freaking out, what do I do? I cant even get my apps back, I cant restore data because the backup is gone, and I don't know what to do now. Is my phone broken? do I need to get a new one? Please help me :crying:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhateverMan2:
Wait, can you boot into CM11? If yes then your phone is not broken :) if no then please provide with more details, like why you think it is broken, so we can help you further :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratata82:
No you have not destroyed your phone.

You are missing play store because you havent flashed gapps, for CM11.

Download it from here

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

Copy the file to either the SD card or internal. Reboot to recovery and flash gapps

Or you could always just restore your handset by flashing a stock rom to it

[LG Optimus G Pro] waqas657:
1) I recently purchased a LG Optimus G Pro from a shop. It had Android JB installed on it. While reading its specs details on gsmarena, it found out that my mobile android version could be upgraded to KitKat using OTA. But I am unable to find software update app installed on my phone. I have doubts that the stock ROM of my phone was replaced with some custom ROM but I am not sure. How do I confirm if my phone's had custom ROM or stock ROM?

2) How can I find out whether this phone is an "International" variant or some other like "Korean"? For the hint, I have attached the screenshot showing the software version and other details of my mobile.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Absolutely. Because you made apparently made a poor choice in carriers. The release data is under the control of your carrier who has final approval on the firmware release. You may consider them tardy, but there is little incentive for them to change their approach unless you make them aware of your thoughts on the subject.

tell the trolls to get bent, this is technically agaisnt the rules

theres a point of diminishing returns on helping vs helping those that want to help themselves. i myself yesterdat gave some people crap for picking on a member that hadn't searched the thread. yes he was wrong for not searching but they could have either helped (by alerting to posting rules or answering question), or said nothing.

they decided to ****post

if we all helped op instead of telling his where to post all stickies and guides become redundant.

at the same time if there was no thread then fair enough

I don't disagree with any part of what you opined. And I generally do. Still the trolls outnumber us by quite a margin. And they sometimes have the ear of staff too i.e. I've been called on it by staff as well. There is some expression about a rock and a hard..

I've read in other Sony devices forums that when you unlock the bootloader, you may loose the DRM keys, and by consecuence, you will also loose some sony propietary Algorithms, like Xloud, CLearAudio+, etc.

[Moto X Q&A] patel21:
Do a Full Battery Drain

Use your phone's battery till the point of phone shuting down.

Even after that try starting phone, as much times you can see the moto's boot logo.

After one point, the phone won't even show start screen, nor vibrate and may flash a green LED from its speaker.

Now connect your charger and charge your battery keeping your phone switched off, for about four hours.

And then check, how it works

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephstyler:
Now, before someone chimes in about the properties of the glass material, and how the strength is dependent on a number of factors (microscopic cracks and pits, inherent strength, type of force, etc).

1. Is the Z3 Gorilla Glass front and back? (or is it using Dragontrail?) or other tempered glass?

2. What about the Camera lens?

3. Are YOU using the phone naked? I am for the time being, but have ordered a tempered glass front protector which comes with a film back

I've got a white one, so I'm not super concerned about fingerprints, but for our black Z3 bretheren, how are you coping with it?

All opinions welcome!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy_inc:
The glass feels different to my S4, I don't think it's the same (which was gorilla glass), this one feels slightly less "glassy". It's not something I noticed at first, but after tapping out an email you start to notice.

I don't use a case yet but will probably get a nice one when more start coming out

And I haven't had any problems with fingerprints, actually I think I might get less on the screen than with my S4.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahamsta:
Z2 owner here, I'm not sure if the glass is the same, but for the record, I am using a case* because I dropped mine very soon after getting it and shattered the screen. It fell out of my pocket from the seat of a (tall) car, which should give you an idea of height. There was a few small pieces of gravel, but I'm not sure if it was the drop or gravel that caused the crack.

Unlike my old HTC One (M7)**, the broken screen rendered the handset useless. My local (Ireland) repair shop wanted around €250 to replace it, but I found a crowd in the UK on eBay that did it for half that price, and they did a bang up job of it too. I actually went back to this phone over the temporary replacement I bought, as the replacement didn't perform as well.

I saw someone say recently that the Z3 has a clear plastic back, but I'm skeptical about that.

* Two actually, the official case for around the house as it's light and would probably protect against most indoor drops, and a cheap-but-sturdy Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit for outside.

** Yes, I broke that too. And the Sensation XE before it. I really should have known better with the Z2, but like many I hate putting cases on lovely phones like these.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
I am using a case because i'm fed up of having scratched up phones as I drop them a lot. I have just bought a Nillkin glass protector and use a £2.99 rubberised back case for the back.

The phone is pretty flexible like the other Z's so i'd hazard that it's using something other than gorilla glass.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
It's not gorilla glass, it's just your average tempered glass.

Feels very similar to the iPad Air glass, in that it feels more plasticky. It doesn't have that nasty pocket of air between glass and display though like the iPad, so feels less "cheap".

Either way it scratches very easily and loves fingerprints much more than the gorilla glass. All of the generic glass screen protectors on the market have the exact same feel to them as the Z3's front and back panels.

Back of my soon to be replaced Z3 has loads of scratches from simply sitting on a desk. The smallest piece of dust can and will cause many hairline scratches. Any rough surface seems to cause thicker scratches that you can feel under your nail, from the tiniest nudge.

I'm waiting for someone to create a matte plastic protector for the back, or at the very least a tempered glass protector for the back. Matte will make it a lot more grippier though.

For the time being I have a metallic black "skin" which is ready to put on the back of my replacement.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
It's dragontrail I think, and it dosent feel "glessy" because there is screen protector on both front and back gless.

My Z1 dropped 4 tines from about 1 and half meters, and there is no single scratch on it.

Trust me, glass on xperia is much more durable then on any other phone.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
lol no, it's not durable at all, see my post above

and there is no screen protector on either side, only the z1 had that horrible film over the panels
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
I can bet there is screen protector, you just don't see them.

Sony puts screen protector almost on every phone since xperia arc.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdosti:
I saw the kit for the z3 it includes a matte screen guard.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corallus:
Sony hasn't used anti shatter film since Z1 fact.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephstyler:
Agreed with the above. Definitely no anti shatter film on this - coming from a previous Z, Z1 and Z2 owner.

I got a Nillkin tempered glass protector this morning, which came with a film back.

Both the front glass and the film back are near perfectly sized - edge to edge. Front works a treat, but I may take the back film off, as the edge to edge fit with the edge of the film means that it feels rigid in my hand (much like a Z2) rather than the soft rounded feeling of the Z3 without the film.

Would the back scratch if im careful with it (keep it away from sand, etc)? thoughts?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corallus:
Imo the back might pick up a few hairline scratches yeah.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knakharses:
I've got a black one, so I'd imagine both scratches and prints are more noticeable compared to a white surface. I have not used the phone naked: I left both Sony films on until I got my case and screen protector, which is anti-fingerprint and like the one on my previous phone, seems to work well.

not to be rude, but that is really careless on your part. one thing i've learned through the years of owning phones is never put a phone in you back pocket for this reason. it puts a lot of pressure no matter how big or small you are. another thing i've found out the hard way is never put a phone on your lap while in a car!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudman:
Not disputing the carelessness on my part, and yes phones should never go in back pockets but the question was how tough is the glass, not how stupid I was. Either way it's not like I'm crying into my beer and demanding a new phone for free but equally after owning many phones like you I would have expected it to be a bit tougher and resistant to cracking than it was. The jeans weren't tight and there couldn't have been much pressure on the phone.

Still you live & learn I suppose. :highfive:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
With all due respect, the Z was plastic through and through, with bendy dragontail glass, but you were also very lucky. This one is metal so a little more rigid. I wouldn't put a phone in a back pocket but if I did to be fair i'd probably expect a warranty repair if it broke.
