[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YemeniFriend:
The Phone hardware-wise is great but it comes with a lot of bloat, especially from T-Mobile. To make it the best phone I could, I made the following replacements:

- Disabled Album and Installed QuickPic

- Disabled the stock messaging app and downloaded Google Messenger (Textra is also good)

- Disabled T-Mobile services like T-Mobile TV and Name ID

- Disabled LookOut Security because it is unneeded unless you are download apps from places other than the app store

- Disabled the Xperia Chinese, Japanese and International Keyboards and downloaded Google Keyboard.

- And last I replaced Chrome with Dolphin because it is faster.

I'm thinking about removing SmartConnect but I think it might be important to the phone.

Hello Everyone .. I have a Sony Xperia Z3 Dual D6633 .. Originally Came With KitKat 4.4.4 OS .. Everything Was Perfectly Working..

But After I've Updated it to The Lollipop 5.0.2 ..Everything is Good But The Network Is No LONGER Working (The Z3 Can Read Sim Cards.. Request The PIN Code But Can't Receive a Coverage At All) .. I'm Living In Syria (Middle East)

What Should I Do To Make Network Back Working ?

Hello all

I have an unrooted at&t note 3 unlocked by att

I am on the unlimited data plan and I can not tether. I tried searching google for a way to have tethering work without rooting but I was not successful in my search.

My quedtions to the experts are

1- can I get tethering to work with my att galaxy note 3 without rooting? How?

2- what are the 3rd party apps that you trust that would give me tethering for free?

3- if the only way to tether is rooting then what is the best and safiest way to do it? I am new to this and never rooted. So I would like to know the ups and downs if I did this and if its reversable and if I would continue to receive updates to the phone and the apps in it. I am asking becuase with iphone when you jailbreak you cant update anymore.

4- what is the diffrence between sim lock and regional lock? I ask becuase my phone was unlocked by att to be able to use it with other sim carriers when I was in the middle east. So is my phone sim unlocked or regionally unlocked and how to know?

Thank you so much and I am so sorry if these quedtions were answered before. But I really tried to search before I asked and with my limitd knowladge about this I did not know how.

Thank you again and looking forward to your answers.

Hello everyone.

My uncle just bought Nexus 5 Red because he said nexus 6 too big. He liked the phone but now he is mad. He ran his finger along the sound up and down button and cut himself. He very sad and he very rich. He hates Google now and needs to know if Google can fix this in Android L. The sound button come out and edges are sharp. Very sharp. It hurts my rich uncle to have such a dumb phone that can hurt people.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkygod:
LOL, what the hell? How would an Android L help with this problem?

He must have really sensitive skin or something to have it be cut by the buttons. I've never heard of such a problem from Nexus 5 users.

If it bothers him that much, have him install one of those TPU cases that covers the buttons.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unfnknblvbl:
Well, the good news is that Android 5.0 (aka "L" or "Lollipop") will indeed make the side buttons nicely chamfered for your uncle. That's why they had the developer previews; in the first one, the buttons were made to be the length of the phone, and in the second one, they were resized to small circles. The full retail version of v5.0 will be bringing back the original sized buttons, but with the aforementioned chamfering.

These things can be changed with the "lol.button" flags in your device.prop file once the retail version has been installed. You just need to add the line "lol.userisat.roll = true" before it will actually take effect though.

Rooted a friends note 3 so he could be free from lock down and now he wants the note 4. Tried to unroot it by using the feature in supersu and uninstalled safestrap and when i went to show him how to wipe it in stock recovery it wouldn't go to the recovery. Trying to avoid using a computer if possible and Odin back. Anything I can do?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyx2:
OK I think I know why I couldn't get into stock recovery but I have another question. Is unrooting using supersu and wiping data and factory reset good enough to send the phone back in for trade if I didn't install any roms just rooted or will I need to Odin back to stock?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sardonicpriest:
I generally find that it is easiest to use Odin and the stock firmware (make sure it is the right firmware for the version of android that is on the phone). It will remove root and put the phone back to the condition it was in when it was purchased.

No need to delete the battery stats, the battery stats file gets deleted

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svntsvn:
Hi all, I have an att m8 that and am running sinless rom gpe 4.4.4 and wish to get back to a gpe edition rom, with s-off. Aside from unlocking the bootloader and rooting, I'm not sure how I got here, and I deleted my nandroid backup when I came from sense 4.4.2. Total noob status here.

My goals are to get it back to gpe, with s-off so I can sim unlock the phone as well, in case I sell it for use on tmobile. Even getting back to sense, s-off, and sim unlocked would be great. I'm needing to do it fast, as I may need to trade the device to a tmobile user.

When I converted, I believe I skipped the s-off step, and cannot get it to work with firewater. I'm stuck at which step to take next? I've heard that s-off cant be achieved on certain phones with firewater, however I'm wondering if me skipping a step could be the reason, or that its simply my software/phone version. I dont know if I flashed something that achieved s-off without me knowing, or that it's a regional variant, etc etc.

Lock Times w/Tasker

I used fingerprint for about 5 days and found it fails too many times. Maybe my fingers are too dry?

You really should have your phone locked, I believe it's more important then screen protectors or cases.

I use PIN lock and Tasker w/Local Password Lock Plug-in

This allows me to set my password to activate at different times depending on what WiFi I'm connected to.

I set at Home WiFi to not lock for a much longer time. I set work for a Mid amount of time. I then have an exit task attached to both that set it to lock at a faster time when away.

You set your fingerprint reader lockscreen with a backup password then open SkipLock and make sure you made SkipLock a admin. Then open the settings in SkipLock type in your password for the lockscreen under the set pin section.

Yep. I set lock screen to fingerprint and created backup password. Installed skiplock, opened it, set as adminstrator, entered in same password that I used in main settings for fingerprint, into skip lock. Clicked finish.

Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to ditch "Skiplock" also. Keeps reverting to it's password signin instead of using my fingerprint unlock upon my setup with my BT connected Gear.
