I think what you meant to say was "those were the dark days "

As for 2014 being a bad one for Sony, well it's hardly surprising when a company makes idiotic choices, they pay a penalty for it. Releasing a new flashship phone every six months was bound to create the sort of confusion that would a) scare some potential customers away

b) piss the hell out of existing customers

c)devalue the brand to the point where it becomes painful purchasing their devices

Sony is an old school company struggling to fully embrace the new world order. Look what's happened to the other old schoolers Nokia, Blackberry, Sony Ericsson. They all failed as commercial entities. Sony bought out Ericsson and we hoped that would usher in a new dawn and philosophy. Things at first seemed promising but they've reverted back to type.

It won't be long at this rate when Sony ends up selling it's mobile division to the Chinese lol! It's failing and something drastic needs to happen. The z4 is looking now like a very important device. Make or break indeed! They really can't afford any screw ups there.

Don't get me wrong they've done Ok at times. The Z was very successful because of the novelty of waterproofing.

The Z2 was top notch but was delayed and by the time it became widely available, rumours of the z3 totally killed off its chances.

In between these two good releases, we had the underwhelming Z1 and the pointless Z3.

"One step forward and two steps backwards " should be written on the tomb stone of Sony mobile if it doesn't survive.
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
Sony clearly stated that they are not suffering because of their flagship range. They devalued their low-mid range portfolio by writing off goodwill. It has ZERO relation to the Z series.

It seems the 6 months cycle does work. They've been doing it since 2011 and never had to devalue their flagship range.

a) First time I heard that 6 months cycle "scares" customers. Maybe you solely?

b) As above

c) I don't know whether you're basing this on your perspective or overall customer's. Normal human don't feel pain when buying phones with a 6 months cycle:

-It's a just a phone

-No one changes phone half-yearly

And I don't find Sony selling its mobile division to Chinese companies funny.

Again it's based on your personal perception that the Z1 was underwhelming and Z3 was pointless.

Z2 was targeted at Z users and the Z3 was for Z.

If you do not like Sony, instead of waiting the board space of your rants, go get the Galaxy smartphone. I'm sure the fingerprint sensor is revolutionary and excites you!

They were dark, but also great!

The first 60hz hack for the Screen! Or all the attempts on multi touch and 32m color.

And all those brand new 2.2 roms without camera... fully working 1080p fotos xD

But i agree with the 6Month cycle problem.

If i ask around a lot of people have a Iphone6 or a Galaxy S5 because it is something. Everyone knows its good... its a status symbol.

If you have a 6 Months cycle your phone is old! Even if you just bought it. Even if the technical details arent much different.

Btw, hasnt sony mobile written red numbers for a few years now?

They actually posted a small profit last year but that was because of the original Z's sales riding high on the waterproof wave! Remember the 5 million units sold in 60 days.

Unfortunately it was a momentum they squandered soon after with the z1. The z2 had a chance of matching and even beating that but delays scuppered its progress.

I'm hopefully they'll have something worthwhile with the z4. Let's just hope they release it early like they did with the Z and not cripple it with rumours following shortly after of another flagship in September.

Sony's running out of time to keep making idiotic mistakes. It's a philosophical thing. There are just some people there at Sony convinced that they can break through doing what they're doing now. I'm sure there'll also be some voices calling for a change in direction. Let's hope those voices get heard. No company can sustain losses indefinitely.

I'm already at the end of my tether and unless I see official word from Sony confirming that the 6 month cycle is no more, I'll be going with the s6 next year. No htc for me, they're just another idiotic company that think metal is the answer to all the world's ills lol.

Having said that, the new oppo with its very slim profile looks delicious but I think I'll pass on that.

You must be living under a rock. The Internet is littered with frustration at the 6 month cycle. Be that websites, YouTube, Google plus etc. Again and again you'll find frustration with this policy.

Even Sony execs keep getting challenged every time they do interviews. It's reported that one of them said recently that it was unsustainable.

Not devaluing the brand? Won't even bother answering that.

Yes mine was a rant but it was more logical than the fanboy nonsense you just spouted!
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
Your post lack depth. Again, Sony clearly stated that their flagship did not affect their earnings. As simple as that. Either I trust Sony's internal performance auditors or trust you? lol.
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/10/30/sony-replaces-head-of-mobile-division/

Don't care who you trust. The original Z was the last successful flashship from Sony. They're just trying to blame their failings on the mid range segment to avoid damaging the rep of their flashships.

The problem is ubiquitous! The iPhone 6 sold more in a weekend than the z3 will sell in its entire lifespan! In fact make that two life times!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prioris55555:
The main reason I want to root is to increase internal memory available for app installation. I have a tablet with AML8726-MX with only 8GB memory and i added a 16GB sdcard later. Adding 2GB or 3GB would be good.

Once I install the root or custom root firmware, should I assume that I will be able to adjust the partition size for internal memory. I assume this would be done by editing some file.

Was referred to this thread. Can't believe how little internal memory on 8GB they have for apps.

Hello!

I pushed a new wearable app on the play store.

It's available for free on Google Play Store: Advanced Wear Task Killer.

[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] sameizad:
Awesome man I really like it. How much does this app slow down the system?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] sowed:
I tried this weekend at my gwatch. but, seconds after kill applications back to start.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] DaHu4wA:
That happens because a lot of apps run as "services", which means they restart themselves a few seconds after being killed.

After being killed these restarted apps should not drain battery at all.

Ok so fastboot is working for you to get the getvar. What output do you get when flashing recovery? Can you post a screen of that?

Also you should edit the image so that it doesn't display your imei and serial numbers ;)

Just noticed you have baseband N/A that's not normal. If you have HTC sync installed on your pc uninstall it but leave drivers installed.

Then see this thread to try and reflash your firmware

Ok hopefully you can make more sense of this website than I can [emoji12] if it's what I think it is it's the OTA file for 6.13.708.1. You can extract the firmware from this and try to flash it.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
You can try to flash the firmware from the OTA zip I linked. Download the ota zip http://pan.baidu.com/s/1ntjxkBf.

Open it on your pc and extract the firmware.zip and put it in the fastboot folder.

Reboot the phone to the bootloader and Connect fastbootusb. Now open your Fastboot command line and type

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader

you can skip this if your already locked

fastboot oem rebootRUU

<--- case sensitive.

The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The second flash will take a little longer and this time it will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command window has completed its output the flash is done.

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now unlock and try to flash recovery.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
:( so the phone doesn't power on at all now? Sounds like your main board has a fault. When you connect it to your pc is it detected as "qhsusb".

You can try holding it under a bright light (focusing the light on the Sensors top left of the phone) then hold Volume down+ power down for 60 secs. But it does sound like a hardware problem with the main board. Which requires HTC Service center. Do you have any warranty on the device?

I bought ZappIR on Play Store. In add remote it has game consoles, Sony PS3. I can't test it, as I don't own one... But so far the app controls everything I own. You can customize the remote (buttons and what not that it shows kn the screen ) and it can "learn" holding original remote face to face with your phone and learning individual buttons.

10 day trial I think.... Then you gotta buy it for $8 or so . ?

The authority on operating bands in the US is the FCC.

https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...ame=N&application_id=544347&fcc_id=A3LSMN910C

https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...ame=N&application_id=396270&fcc_id=A3LSMN910U

Short answer, The N910C and N910U has Band 4 LTE. Neither has band 12 (700MHz Block A)

Also, when on call or in a low-signal area, hold the phone with your left hand. The diversity receiver (2nd antenna) is right beneath the power button.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoyoNeuff:
Yup, thanks a lot ! I was getting to that conclusion... T-Mobile uses Band 4 (AWS 1700/2100 MHz), which you are right only the N910C and N910U have. And also true, as with other international phones like the Sony Z3 and others, the biggest regret will be Band 12. However, for what I have read, the regret there of not having Band 12 is WiFi calling and some better reception indoor like in buildings and such.

Cheers,

G.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATnTdude:
LTE Band 12 has nothing to do with WiFi calling. WiFi calling, in terms of hardware, simply requires WiFi, which all N910 models have (2.4 and 5.xGHz). The rest is carrier support (which T-Mobile has) and software on the phone (which if it isn't on by default can be added via root).

LTE Band 12 doesn't matter much outside of California, Florida, Texas, New England, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Atlanta, Minneapolis and Indianapolis. Leap (Cricket) Wireless owns most of the 700MHz Block A spectrum in America. Check out this map and see where you live vs what your carrier holds.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoyoNeuff:
Thank you very much.

I looked at that map but did not quite understood the results. So, can you please educate me on what really I might miss should I go missing the Band 12 for someone living on those areas you have mentioned above?
