[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandulea:
Hello everyone. I've had a Note 2 since it came out 2012, and so far the Z2 is the only phone that I think is a good enough replacement. I want to get one in December for my birthday, but one thing isn't clear to me.

In a lot of reviews, the camera quality, especially in 20mp manual mode, isn't that good, it looks out of focus or has blurry spots. Other, more recent reviews, show a better camera quality, and when I handled one myself in a showroom for an hour or so, testing it against my N2, the quality was much better, like what I expected from this phone.

Were the bad reviews, like the one on GSMarena, made with pre-production phones, or are there earlier revision phones out there, with worse cameras than the more recent ones? I'm going to order mine online, I don't know if it's from newer or older stock, and as much as I browsed the forum, it isn't clear to me if there are camera differences between revisions.

Its actualy not that bad

Ill attatch some pics i took a couple months ago
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldirai:
20 mp manual mode may not be satisfactory, i agree. but you should decide if 20mp is necessary or necessary in what circumstances.

What Sony did is concentrating on 8mp Auto mode with extensive image post-processing and 8mp photos are pretty good (for me).

Camera isnt the only thing I've looked for in a smartphone. Looks and material quality, battery life, dust and water ressistance... together with a maybe-not-the-best-but-good camera did it for me.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kocane:
Using the auto mode (8mp) is indeed fine.

Im perfectly satisfied, maybe because I dont expect much from a phone. I mean, sure, the megapixels are high these days but that doesnt change the fact that the sensors are so small and quality will always be inferior to a "real" camera.

Need some help figuring out how to restore my msg backup file

Just did a fresh install of CM 11 and made a backup zip of all my msgs using the GO SMS backup feature

But now when i try and restore says it can't find the zip file

Can someone tell me where Go SMS stores its msgs so i can try and manually restore them ?

[XDA Assist] vanessaem:
Your GoSMS backup message files should probably be on your SD card or within your Main Storage files in GOSMS > backup > localbr. Please check your device for the GoSMS folder. The app's backup feature usually stores sms' in there.
[XDA Assist] Markeee:
Yeah thanks your 100% right

I figured that out already by making another backup and seeing where the program stored it

If you looked at it closely you will see that it requires root access. You do not say which operating system you are running. If you have stock, be careful how you set up root. If you do it improperly the device will reset itself when the app runs. If you are running a rooted CM version it should work ok, but I have no experience with it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crovakiet:
I have a Nook HD, not an HD+ but I think my experience should still help you out...Currently on CM11.

Using Plants vs Zombies 2 as an example with the default Nook HD resolution of 1440 x 900, I was at less than 10 frames per second on the 'World Map' using FPS METER ROOT application to see the FPS and less than 25 frames during gameplay. After lowering the resolution to 1024 x 600 (Kindle Fire resolution) my FPS jumped on the world map to a solid 30 FPS and 50+ fps during gameplay so it definitely does help (at least for PvZ 2).

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Jackomel:
I bought a flip cover (horizontal, book/wallet style) together with my note 4, it's one of these cheap ones from amazon that have a magnetic strip to keep it closed.

The problem is that magnetic strip, it seems it interferes with the s-pen making it completely unusable.

Another problem is that 90% of the flip covers on amazon (at least in europe and looking for a while) have that magnetic strip.

I used to have this one back on my note 2 http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B009P6TG82 and I never found anything better than that, it's too bad there's no note 4 version.

Any idea if there are any like that? The official samsung ones do look good but it seems they replace the back, this means I can't easily remove the cover for insertion in a car dock.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Cutetech:
Speck flipcover coming soon

Don't know how good it will be but the flipcover from Speck will be out soon. The existing flipcover they have for the Note 3 looks good and doesn't interfere with any phone/s-pen functions so I would assume it will be the same for the Note 4 version. I have always been a fan of the Speck products so I will definitely be checking it out once released. The Samsung flipcovers are nice and all, but not for $50.

[Sony Xperia ZL] miloasis:
greetings to all.

Help, I have no access to the 4G LTE network in my country (chile) because my ZL 6506 does not support the 2600 MHz band.

I can flash the FTF 6503 if the band supports 2600 mhz on my 6506 zl?

sorry for my bad inglish

saludos a todos.

ayuda, no tengo acceso a la red 4G LTE en mi país (chile) debido a que mi Zl 6506 no soporta la banda de 2.600 MHz.

puedo flashear el FTF 6503 que si soporta la banda 2.600 mhz en mi zl 6506?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dannysbkn:
I'm not sure, but i think not. Altough since i don't have a 4g plan yet, i haven't search it properly. What i was planning to do, was to wait until the 700 MHz band, and then try to make it works. The only problem is that, as far as i know, it isn't clear yet the exact band class where it will run, because in the 700 mhz spectrum, there are several bands, and the c6506 is not compatible with them all.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong xd.

Saludos!

(me da un poco de lata traducir xd, pero yo estoy esperando a la banda 700 a ver si esa es compatible con el c6506, porque creo que hacer eso no sirve por ser algo de hardware y no de software)
[Sony Xperia ZL] zcop:
You can flash 6503 baseband. If it not work you can flash back the original baseband.

And in case it not work read this guide to enable LTE band 7

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/thread-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269

On Step 12

Find MI_05 not MI_04

On step 23

Go to line 6828 change value to 1904863

No need to do other step

Press on write NV and then press on file ->write changed NV to the phone.

Reboot and tada you unlock all LTE band that ZL support:)
[Sony Xperia ZL] miloasis:
Thanks friend for the help.

I followed the steps, I choose MI_05 but I can not install the drivers that are in the folder HTC

that I can do?
[Sony Xperia ZL] miloasis:
compañero, gracias por la respuesta.

tambien habia pensado esperar a que habiliten la banda de 700 mhz pero lei en algunos foros que esa banda se sub-divide en varias bandas, por lo que no es 100% seguro que nuestro c6506 funcione en 4G... esperemos que no sea asi. Estuve probando la liberacion de las bandas del posteo que dejo el otro amigo que me contesto pero no lo pude hacer, es bastante engorroso y no a todos les dio buen resultado.

saludos.
[Sony Xperia ZL] zcop:
Do you know force install driver??

If not

that I can do?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dannysbkn:
The c6506 is compatible with the LTE Band Class XVII (700 MHz), and i did read in a forum a while ago, that the new 700 MHz band, wil be the LTE Band Class XLIV, so...maybe the only option we have is (as zcop said): flash the c6503 baseband or directly activate the Band Class VII (2600 MHz) as you are trying to do now.

If i'd have plan, i'd try it, but i don't xD (LTE is not available for prepaid costumers yet)

Bueno dado que no puedo ayudar mucho, solo me queda desearte suerte :V
[Sony Xperia ZL] zcop:
So that baseband doesnt include LTE configs or RV Manager cannot read all RV configs

Give QXDM a try, if it doesnt show then flash C6503 is only option )

[HTC One X] onesizeonly:
I've recently acquired a One X and wanted to put cm11 on it. Rooted fine, unlocked bootloader fine, flashed cwm fine. I put cm-11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-endeavoru.zip onto my sd card, along with gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip and try to flash them both - it says it's successful. Go to boot up and it freezes on the HTC quietly different screen. I can get it to bootloader and recovery but can't boot up. I think I have an issue with my kernal because I read you have to flash it on its own. On top of this, my PC doesnt allow me access to my sd card when I plug my phone in, the phone can go into fastboot usb and the pc makes the noise of new hardware being plugged in but nothing under Computer appears and HTCSync doesn't notice it (yet will boot up when I plug in).

I've rooted two devices prior and never had issues like this. Any help please?
[HTC One X] khairulez:
1) phone not boot up-flash boot.img inside cm11 zip(extract that zip,copy 'boot.img' to fastboot folder and flash it.do 'fastboot erase cache' after flash boot.img.

2) disabled Usb Debugging in developer settings and your sd storage will pop-up on pc.

3) htc sync is only for sense or sense based rom.

Is there a way to split Files from GetFilesAsync in chunks? The problem on low memory devices is a "out of memory exception", when reading many files from StorageFolder (100+).
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngame:
when you try to get file names in a string and show in a messagebox

I think it will have no errors.

if you get error again i don't know what to do .

but if you didn't get error it means your code has problem .

maybe better to use ListBox to make large lists .
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy123456:
My code to read the files is simple:

StorageFolder cameraRollFolder = KnownFolders.CameraRoll;
IReadOnlyList<StorageFile> cameraRollFiles = await cameraRollFolder.GetFilesAsync();

But i dont need the file names only, with cameraRollFiles i then process further.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngame:
I know you don't need only FileNames .

with these 2 lines only you will get out of memory error , yes ?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy123456:
I think the problem is there on one of the two lines. After i get the files async, im performing an upload operation withTransferContentPart. I dont know exactly where the error occurs, but i think its there, because StorageFile has all files read async and this is loaded in memory, or do i missu derstand that? The maximum amount of files, without exception, is 120 files. Do i get more files, the exception was thrown. The size of the files are 19kb (testimages from wp8.1 emulator). The size isnt a problem, i proceed this with a 1GB file, without any problem.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngame:
select the first line of your code and then press F9 on your keyboard .

then you will see Yellow lines while Debugging lines of code .

you have to click continue key or press F10 key to see where the error will appear .

another way ( a silly way ) is to set try {} and catch {} for each line and set catch to message you Error Line and for example Loop Counter and etc.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy123456:
Ok this error happens on my uploadoperation, exactly on

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy123456:
The code is performing in a baclground task, can this be the problem?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy123456:
I rechecked that and its definitely not the GetFilesAsync() from StorageFile. The problem seems to be the BackgroundTrasnferContentPart, which seems to load all Files in Memory and causes the OutOfMemory Exception.

Any suggestions how to solve this problem?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] TaZ2k:
Saw in Walmart weekly ad page 32 that note 4 was 268, instead of 299. Weekly special from Nov 2 to 8.

I printed out the page, went to best buy and performed successful price match.

I preordered black note 4 verizon via best buy, traded in phone for 200 bucks credit, picked it up on 10/23 when it was released. Today 11/5 is last day of 14 day return policy.

Went to customer service, they were baffled and tried to come up with many reasons why it's against policy. Showed me a policy guide which said it can not price match online retailers for phones. I refuted as walmart is brick and mortar store and they sent me to best buy Mobile department (i thibk they were lazy). They called my local Walmart and confirmed they had it in stock and it was 268. Price drop guarantee worked and cha ching! 35 bucks extra to spend on accessories :)

I actually got a best buy email today for earning cash for a rewards member, 5 bucks. But they wouldn't let me apply it for previous orders, boo, couldn't get too greedy.

Regardless, happy man I am!

Oops, didn't see that there was another post about this, enjoy!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sirrkitt:
We generally don't price match mobile phones unless it is a price match of the carrier, since our prices are set in conjunction with each carrier. If we price match another store, we don't get refunded accordingly by the carrier and lose the difference between what our price is and whatever the price is that was matched.

WalMart and other stores usually have different contracts and stuff that aren't the same as what ours are and that's probably why there was so much confusion.

You got lucky in that they gave you the discount though! We almost never ever ever price match over here on mobile phones. :good:

[Fire TV General] tenderidol:
I've used a SONY GoogleTV (with Bluray) to play media files (mkv, avi, mp4, etc) through ViMu app. Two 128 GB thumb drives stayed connected to the USB ports in the back of the unit at all times for kids' movies, while I utilized the front USB port once in a while to connect a WD 1TB portable external HD to watch movies.

Now, we moved to FireTV and I’d like to carry over the same setup through XBMC and StickMount. Obviously, having only 1 USB port limits this. I tried connecting a USB hub (non-powered, “mobile”); although the thumb drive worked fine, the external HD wasn’t powered. Looks like I’ll need a powered USB hub to be able to connect what I listed above.

Is there a particular one that works better with the FireTV?

Can StickMount handle mounting 2-3 USB drives and an external hard drive simultaneously? When it's time to unmount the external HD, will I be able to pick that specifically or "unmount" will get rid of thumb drives as well?

Thanks!

[Fire TV General] DEREKTROTTER:
hi,

yes it is working perfectly.

here is what i bought: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131220799541

I have tested it with 3 HDD's attached

> 1TB portable (FAT32 formatted)

> 1TB portable (NTFS formatted)

> 2TB portable (NTFS formatted)

All plugged in at once and i could navigate them fully and play files. I tested a 7GB MKV on each and all played perfectly.

1 Downside:

The Amazon Fire TV fails to boot if the powered USB is plugged in on startup (hangs at amazon white logo)

I have heard someone else mention this also, would love a solution to this as they will then get mounted by stickmount automatically.

Currently got to boot without USB hub > connect hub > mount via stickmount.

Hope this helps
[Fire TV General] jocala:
I don't use stickmount ([url="http://www.jocala.com/adbfire.html]adbFire[/url] uses its own disk mounting solution), but my powered Dlink hub does not interfere with the FireTV boot up. That's with 3 drives attached.
[Fire TV General] Stevie G:
Thanks for the update. I suspected it will do that. I have the same problem when I want to boot from a powered hub. I can boot from the ssd plugged in directly in the aftv usb port, but not via hub.

The problem is I cannot plug in any other usb device like a keyboard or mouse or even my usb receiver. It's a pity the aftv does not allow any other bluetooth keyboard or mouse connected to it.

Maybe one of the guys can look into it to get a drive to be booted from a powered usb hub
[Fire TV General] DEREKTROTTER:
can you link me to the hub you have? would like something i can keep plugged in and will boot up.

Also with the adbfire method, you still have to mount on every reboot with it right?
[Fire TV General] jmerrilljr2:
I don't have this problem. Using a Belkin 4 port USB 2 hub, but I only have one HD attached.
