[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playagiron:
Hi,

The water proof feature is nice. However, I prefer sea water for snorkeling etc. So given corrosiveness of salt it's probably not a good idea.

Still from many reports people seem to have it surviving even salt water submersions when not too long and rinsing it immediately afterwards with fresh water.

But i don't want to dessctroy my nice Z3C obviously, so been looking for intermediate solution, like sealed zip bags or so, that would prevent it from too much wate rcontact, and if it leaks or whatever, it will still not die.

Any idea what could be used , if possible not too big to fit the Z3, and still let take some pics?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipspeak:
The phone is not rated for salt water, so I wouldn't want to try it. Salt water splashes from waves are probably fine.

I also wonder if Sony has a way of telling if salt water got in the phone should you have to send it in for warranty service. Plus, it's also gonna be much easier to inadvertently exceed the depth rating in the ocean. Definitely best to get a dry bag of some kind IMO.

Something like this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1035195-REG/loksak_lok_alok3_4x7_3_aloksak_bags_4_5x7.html

Or this: http://www.amazon.com/FRIEQ®-Universal-Waterproof-Carrying-iPhone/dp/B00AW2QT8I/ref=pd_cp_sg_0

There are a ton of waterproof phone cases/bags out there. Just be sure to pick one that promises super-clear plastic for photos.

Will see how it works with the Z3C
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxhunter123:
Excuse me... Why should the Z3C not be waterproof in saltwater???

I really cannot see the problem? It is not that saltwater is more wet than "normal" water...

The saltwater will leave some salt when it is dry but you could easily remove this by putting the Z3C in water without salt for some minutes...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyphomatic:
I don't believe the salt will do much good to the oliphobic coating of the screen or audio connector.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxhunter123:
We are talking about 30 minutes of contact with salt...? To play it safe you use it in salt water for 20 minutes and then put it in normal water for 5 minutes and all the salt is gone...?

And by the way are both the power button and the audio connector made of aluminium...? And why would salt ruin the oliphobic coating of the screen...?

I could understand if pool water with chlorine could do something to the screen but since Sony advertise that you can use it in the pool then that shouldn't be a problem... ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyphomatic:
Salt is more corrosive unlike chlorine
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxhunter123:
In contact with iron, yes...Plastic, glass and aluminium, no - not for a 30 minute contact...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyphomatic:
Indeed, I believe that the audio connector might be a weak spot. It sure isn't aluminum. I had other waterproof equipment before with an audioconnector that came into contact with seawater, wich turned out very bad. I won't take a chance.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipspeak:
Apart from the fact that Sony says don't immerse the phone in salt water, common sense suggests the copper contacts of the mag charger and headphone jack will not fair well (salt water will leave a nice oxide layer on both, which will impact the conductivity). A few minutes and very careful cleaning of the jack (not just a quick rinse) will probably be OK, but then we also have no idea how the glass coating, camera lens coating and various waterproofing membranes will fair in salt water. Knowing the corrosive nature of salt water and Sony's warning I certainly wouldn't risk dunking it in the ocean. YMMV :D

Hi, i need help please. My Z5 compact fell into salt water for not even 3 seconds. The phone switched off. It does come on, however i noticed the boot time has slowed down and it goes off before getting to home screen. Sometimes, it reaches home screen and I can make a call or play music, but then again it just shuts down on its own.....Does anyone know what the problem could be? I also noticed a bit of condensation in the rear camera after it fell in salt water.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woldranger:
I was just transferring some apk files over to my I9305 via a usb pendrive when I noticed I could no longer write to my SD card.

I was able to move files around and delete folders after getting this message "your system forbids es from writing on external sd card...." when I tried to add a folder, but it's now also stopped me from deleting any files.

I've tried downloading Astro to check it's not just ES File Explorer playing up., as well as using the standard file explorer but neither will let me write to the card.

I scanned everything with Superantispyware and malwarebytes to check for viruses before I connected the drive to my pc so I think I can rule out virus issues.

I'm running stock 4.3. I'm rooted and have just checked SuperSU and there seem to be no problems there. Apps needing root are working fine.

I recently installed xposed framework. I've removed the rootcloak module (that didn't work for skygo so there was no point keeping it) and I've updated SuperSU through the play store.

Is this likely to be an issue with the card (64gb Sandisk)? It's been in for a year and once I reformatted it, there's been very few issues. When I lost write access last time I didn't get a message like this, just a brief notice that I didn't have write access.

At the moment, I can survive without write access, but when I travel it's essential as my S3 take the place of my computer for the duration of my trip.

EDIT - can a mod delete this post or let me know how I can please? It was an issue with the SD card - I put it in my PC to check for errors. One was found and corrected and all seems fine now :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] airman410:
I'm considering purchasing the AT&T locked version of the Note 4 at full price on Amazon. If I do this, will the phone come with a SIM from AT&T, or will I need to go to an AT&T store to pickup a SIM card and start a new account? I'm not currently an AT&T customer... I'm active duty military, stationed overseas. I'll be transferring back to the states in about a month and want to have my phone in hand and working when I step off of the airplane.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Reinaldo33897:
You will need to activate it with att. Now if your replacing another att phone you can remove Sim and place in new phone new phone should recognize as long as old phone is smart phone too. Att won't let you use it without a data plan if old phone was not a smart phone. Also if old phone is iPhone Sim not compatible you will need to get a new on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] airman410:
I'm not currently an AT&T customer and I'm not replacing another AT&T phone, so I don't have an AT&T sim card yet. Does the Note 4 ship from Amazon with a sim card included if I purchase it at full retail price?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] brittoking:
Not 100% sure but I would say NO it won't. They usually only issue Sim cards at actual retailer's location when they program it etc for you. I've only purchased online once and it did not include a Sim at all let alone one programed to your account. Thank you for your service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Malaranu:
When I purchased my S2 through Amazon, it came with a sim card in which I had to activate by calling in through AT&T. But, I was upgrading through AT&T and already had an account with them. If you are buying the full price without a contract or account, I'm not sure you would get a sim card. Best thing to do is reach out to Amazon and ask them.

I bought my ATT Note 4 on amazon. The SIM card came in the box. Will still need to call ATT to activate.

Hello guys

Does anyone know how to change the system sounds ?( For example when i get the notification for low battery )
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peaceful Droid:
If you are rooted, use root browser and go to system/media/audio/ui and replace default sounds with desired sounds (must be.ogg) with same name. E.G. If you want to change lock sound, first rename the sound file which you want as 'lock' and replace it in ui folder's lock named file and change permission to rw-r-r.

Please take backup of ui folder before you replace any files. So that in future if you need, you can revert to stock sounds.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dracho:
Hello. Thanks in advance for your time and advice.

I've got a brand new HTC One M8, AT&T, firmware says 4.4.2 with no available updates.

I want to create an initial backup. I'm a computer technician, and just dabbling in Android, and it's important for me to make a "clone" of my phone before I proceed to wreck things. (This is a replacement phone, the last one had a hardware issue... I swear... I managed to install ViperOne onto it, for a week before the screen faded to white and died.)

I assume I'll need root access to make a proper backup. I also assume I should use Nandroid. I've not used the app before, but I'm sure I can figure it out. As far as root goes, I previously used Hasoon2000's HTC One 2014 (M8) All-In-One Toolkit, which worked well, as far as I could tell. (It's a visual basic program with scripts to download drivers, register at htcdev, get token id, submit it, unlock bootloader, flash recovery, and lots of nice ADB commands. Is this a good option to use? I hear many people use S-Off, but I don't really see a need... ?

So, I assume I'll need a new token ID from HTC, as the previous one I got corresponds to the old, malfunctioning phone.

After it's unlocked, I'd use the toolkit to grant perm root. That would be a great place to be for now. I plan to wait until the 4.4.4 update is pushed, then worry about installing a new rom.

Am I on the right track?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
For the AT&T version (and most the major US carrier versions) we are lucky enough to have RUUs. So really, no need to backup the stock configuration. If you like, grab the RUUs and save them to your computer so you have them ready if and when it is needed.

Nandroid isn't a specific app, its just a generic term for a backup made with recovery. The custom recovery is your choice: TWRP, Clockworkmod, Philz.

Just a personal opinion, I would actually strongly recommend against using the toolkit for a couple reasons: most importantly using the toolkit robs you of an important learning opportunity. Doing the steps "manually" is a key way to learning your way around fastboot/adb. Doing the steps manually isn't that hard, and shortcutting the process with the toolkit really doesn't gain you much. Another key issue, is the toolkit introduces an additional point of failure. In fact, I've seen folks have trouble doing some of the steps with the toolkit; where doing the steps "manually" worked without a hitch. And the toolkit hasn't been updated for a long time, and will install an obsolete version of TWRP recovery, which in itself can cause issues.

If you used the toolkit before, you can certainly use it again. This is likely the path of "least" resistance, the the "easy" way to do things. But I wouldn't necessarily call it the "best" way to do it. If you don't already know your way around adb, I would do the steps manually. Since you have a background in computers, you will probably even find the manual process more enjoyable.

Yes, you would need to unlock the bootloader again via HTCDev.com, as the unlock bin code in based on the phone's unique IMEI.

The process would be as simple as unlocking the bootloader using HTCDev.com (very easy, the website is self-explanatory). Use fastboot to install custom recovery. Then to gain root, just flash SU or SuperSU in recovery. If you need a step-by-step guide, there is an excellent one here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2799796

But also be aware that once the 4.4.4 OTA rolls out, you will need to return to stock recovery, and also restore any system files modifed by root, in order to install the OTA.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dracho:
Thanks, redpoint73

Exactly the answer I was looking for. The guide looks great. Looks like there's a lot of useful information about reverting to stock, too. I guess I'll have a go at it now, as opposed to waiting for the update. Like you say, it's good to know things. Thanks much.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jball:
[MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION]

Now I'm only asking cause I don't know everything. Couldn't those who have S-off just RUU the update once available instead of reverting to complete stock state(no root,no custom recovery, locked Bootlaoder)?

AT&T HTC ONE M8
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Absolutely. In fact S-off is not even required to run an RUU intended for your version (AT&T). If s-on, the added step of relocking the bootloader is all that is needed to run the RUU.

HTC seems to have gotten better about releasing the RUUs promptly. In fact, the previous (ill fated) 4.4.3 update saw the RUU and OTA roll out on the same day. Although this hasn't always been the case. On past devices, the RUUs were not released for weeks (sometimes longer) after the OTA started to roll out. And many folks don't want to wait that long.

Also, relocking the bootloader is not required to OTA, only to RUU.
