Hi everybody!

I have just find out this article from Sony blog:

http://developer.sonymobile.com/2014/11/06/android-5-0-xperia-z3-running-aosp/

So I think I will get Lollipop in our Z1 very soon.

See you!
[Xperia Z1 General] tracer123:
AOSP is fine but not from sony :)

I like camera in my z1 :D
[Xperia Z1 General] hakkai999:
Yep can't wait for the new 5.0 custom roms to roll in. At least sony has now officially supported the modding community.
[Xperia Z1 General] Li_Kai:
a good ROM?Thanks
[Xperia Z1 General] Wiltron:
I use my camera far too much to support being a beta tester in the various 5.0 ROMs rolling out in Original thread..

I can live without mobile data since I'm in a WiFi zone almost exclusively, but no camera? no dice..
[Xperia Z1 General] danidarklord:
I too love aosp, even on kitkat. But I really hope they have fix camera issues. That would be awesome!
[Xperia Z1 General] migidid:
Yeah i could try livin without modem since there is citywide wlan available but without camera ?! no way!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guytrance:
Just a newbie question..

What are the odds of seeing a ported pure lollipop ROM from the developer previews to the G3? Is that even possible at this stage?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodenAnts:
I'd imagine some devs are beginning to port it as we speak. The source code just dropped a few days ago if Im not mistaken so It will take a while to adapt to the G3. Also note, that we have to wait till we can bump our ROMs, because without that, we might as well be carrying around a laptop in our back pocket to fastboot it. Don't worry, im as excited as you are. Also note that I do believe LG is working hard on their Optimus skin for Lollipop as well. So that should be on it's way next month if we are being optimistic.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guytrance:
Thanx for your answer.

I'm very excited on what's coming next for us.

I saw the Dev build on a nexus and it was jaw dropping.

Optimus UI along with 5.0 is sweet idea yes, but not as close to an AOSP.

Currently running CM11 tethered, loving each second of it lol
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manups4e:
i have worked on a port of lollypop since last month and the main problem is kernel that's not working with rom.. (kernel panic) we need lollipop sources for kernel at least
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guytrance:
Isn't the source release helping you with that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] andy_d0:
I'm not sure if it's my phone or if it just doesn't work well but having loads of issues with it. Sometimes it works repeatedly other times it just won't recognize my finger. Not sure what to do about it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nyydynasty:
the fingerprint scanner works but its not consistent. I was able to get it to work better by scanning the same finger using different angles (i.e. side of the finger, then scan the tip, then scan the other side...) but it still doesnt always work the first or second attempt.

it actually ended up being more of a hassle to use, so I switched back to the standard swipe screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] andy_d0:
Yeah I'm thinking about giving up on it as well. I like using it for lastpass but not sure if it's enough to deal with the inconsitency. I'll try registering another finger print as you mentioned
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] borijess:
Yes working great for me.

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 4! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] v3ngence:
I use an app called "wear unlock" and linked it to my moto 360, if the phone leaves the range of my watch it automatically locks with a hard password.

But it means in normal use I just swipe to unlock which is awesome!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] illa215:
Yea works great for me as well. When registering swipe vertically for the first 5 and then horizontally for the last five. And try to swipe at different angles. If u really want to be accurate u can scan the same finger twice, but I honestly haven't had to do this. Also sometimes when swiping, push the button when coming down seems to work alot more that way
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] VirtualNobody:
It takes a fair amount of time to get used to. I'm at 2 weeks now on mine, and I can usually hit it first or second time now. I find it quite handy, but now that winter is coming, I'm wondering how well it will work with cold chapped fingers. Cases also interfere with swiping.

I wish you could specify a PIN with a fingerprint instead of a 6 character password.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] californiarailroader:
The same here. It did take a bit to get used to, but it recognizes my fingerprint swipe everytime.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] andy_d0:
I already notice a difference after a long hot shower - I would imagine no different being out in the cold as well. I will put it to the test as soon as I go on my first snowboarding trip of the season :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] NYYFan02:
I've found it to be pretty useless unfortunately, Apple definitely did a better job in that department, albeit at the cost of some extra real estate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] icexshinigami:
It works well if you scan different angles on your finger.

Personally haven't had a chance to try the Apple version but as for our phones it is quite big so I would recommend at least have some side swipe scans in there so you can scan with one hand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] trant01:
Never accurate for me. Can never get it to recognize the first time. Had to stop using it out of frustration.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JasonJoel:
Weird I use it 30+ times a day, and it gets mine 1st try about 95% of the time. 2nd try almost every other time.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nyydynasty:
That ends up taking longer to unlock the phone. I know it's more secure but swiping twice or someone three times is frustrating.

... sent from Tapatalk. Please excuse any typos ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JasonJoel:
Yes, it takes longer. I'm Ok with that though for a little bit of security. Is just as fast as the numeric pin I used to type in...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GraphMatix:
I've read through the forums and see that it's possible to use the Verizon note 3 on tmobile network. I want to use mine on the MetroPCS network. My question was is has anyone switched theres from Verizon to metro pcs and if so what are the steps involved?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didymus03:
Answer + another question

Hey there. I'm going to try and answer your question and then ask another related question.

I recently bought a 900v from eBay with the intention of using it on MetroPCS and then in Europe after a few months when I move. I'm currently using an international Note II on MetroPCS which works fine.

To answer: In theory, as far as I know, all you need to do to get your Verizon Note 3 to work on MetroPCS is get a plan and SIM card from them (they will need to register your phone's IMEI to the SIM card since they lock individual SIM cards to individual phones). After this, go to Settings > More networks > Mobile networks and change preferred to 'global'. You will also need to input the proper network name and APN (Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names). From here it should work.

Ok, now my question for whoever might know something about it. Since I bought my Note 3, I went to a MetroPCS store and had them change the registration from my old phone's IMEI to the Note 3. They did that, we switched the SIM and did what I wrote above and voice and text worked, but no data. The guy working there didn't know what to do, so I decided to have him just switch it back to my Note II and I'd take it to the better resourced 'corporate' store later.

In the meanwhile, I rooted and did what I needed to flash JasmineRom 2.4.1. Went fine and everything seemed to work fine. Then I took it to the corporate store. They tested it with a tester SIM first (not locked to a particular device) but couldn't get it to connect to a network and then the same with my SIM (which had worked before at least for voice). I just get the notification: "Phone Activation - This SIM card is from an unknown source."

Does anyone know if the phone has to first be somehow Activated with Verizon before I can change it to global and use other GSM networks? If so, how would I go about doing that as I'm not on Verizon, nor have I ever been. I have a friend who uses Verizon who might be able to help me activate it if really necessary, but if there's another way, do please let me know. If this problem has nothing to do with activation, and there's something else going on, I'm all ears as well. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didymus03:
Problem solved for MetroPCS connection.

Just wanted to update that my problem was solved with no more trouble than calling MetroPCS (888 8METRO8) to have them register my old MetroPCS SIM card to my new device (Verizon Note 3). I had already played around with GSM and global modes and had manually input the APN and network name prior to calling. I had also tried to activate using *228 but that didn't seem to work... not sure if that is important but it was something I had done (with the MetroPCS card before calling).

To the OP: did you get yours working?

Edit: I suppose it is also worth mentioning that I didn't have to change any settings and I'm getting 4G LTE on MetroPCS.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatixMovies:
So to confirm, it is possible to connect the Verizon note 3 to METROPCS network and get 4G LTE SERVICE. Will I need to adjust APN settings through the phone? Do I have to use a separate program to change those settings?

I'm going today to try to set this up. Thanks for the responses.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arosemacyszyn:
Ok everyone I have a question in reguards to using a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with Metro PCS. I've been getting the run around from Verizon and Metro. What I've done so far is got Metro PCS to type the Note 3's IMEI number in their computer to activate the phone (like they do with every phone). I put the SIM card in the Note 3, and it said something like "SIM card is from an unknown source" (it's not reading the SIM). The phone wouldn't work. No service despite them activating the Note 3 on my account. They told me to go to metro store, so I did and we tried a new SIM card and everything and it still didnt read it. I keep seeing people say we need to change the APN, but what are we specifically supposed to write in the APN box? Also, I see people saying metro has to do something with the SIM card, what exactly do they have to do? Can someone please help, and please give me the exact steps as to what I have to do to get my Note 3 activated and working with MetroPCS. I havent had a phone to use in days because of this bullcrap :( please help!

Would this work on a galaxy s5?
[General Questions and Answers] Niki Niki:
Problem: I encountered this problem on HTC One X, HTC Desire Z and HTC Desire S. I suppose this doesn't concern HTC phones only. This is not the most serious problem in the world but it can be a bit annoying when your phone, out of the blue, turns the screen on in the middle of the night just to turn it off in a few seconds. I guess it can also significantly reduce the battery life .

Anyone can help me,Thank you very much!:crying:
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeBoX:
Hi

Been considering rooting the device for a little while and was wondering a few things.

I'm coming off a samsung G note 10.1 2014 edition ( I know a freaking mouthful) and there a few major drawbacks to rooting , like loosing all warranty and support from Samsung ( they are freaking draconian when it comes to enforcing the no touch principle)

Are there any drawbacks to rooting? Technical or warranty related.. Do you loose functions?

is it hard to unroot?

Simplest way to root?

Anything else one needs to keep in mind when rooting?

How do you run updates after root?

I know a lot of these are uber noob questions, and please bare with me on this. I just don't want to do something I'll regret later

thanks in advance

No drawbacks or lost functionality.

Its easy to unroot. So far every OTA update unroots you anyways.

Easiest way to root is with towelroot.

Don't delete or change anything unless you know the consequences.

Updates come in the same way, over the air. Install the same way as well.

Yeah you don't want to extract the zip file, but copy the .zip to an sd card and install it from custom recovery.

If you don't have custom recovery you would go here https://goo.im/devs/daniel_hk/recovery/TWRP/p6200/ and download and flash in Odin (its the 2.8.0.0 that ends in .tar, you put that in the PDA box)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 6106396:
Hey, I am having trouble with VLC for Android on my EE Kestrel (Huawei G535), I was fed up with Google Play music, it was driving me crazy to be frank, so I have started using VLC as my main music player and so far it seems to be doing a wonderful job, nice UI, full of features, and it doesn't seem to lose 20gb of music like Play Music does, however that is also where the problem lies, the amount of music I have, over 25gb of it, stuck on a class 10 32gb Micro SD card. Whenever I slide from the left in VLC and enter the 'Audio' view, VLC seems to lock up for as much as half a minute and it is really starting to bug me, other than this I love the player and would happily use it but I am afraid I may have to find another player if I cannot get this issue solved, when I enter the 'Artists' tab VLC locks up for a while, when it frees up again the scrolling and everything is really smooth, I can select an artist, it'll show all of their albums no trouble, entering the 'Now Playing' bit works fine too, select a song, it plays, tap the bottom bar and it shows you what is playing along with some pretty panning album artwork, very nice! However when I tap the back button to go back to the 'Artists'/'Albums'/'Songs' view it locks up again, I am not sure if this is an issue with VLC or if it is just the sheer amount of music I have, I'm pretty sure it isn't my device because it used to do it on my tablet too if I had a 32gb card in (different memory card so it isn't that either), one thing I must give to Play Music is that it always seems to load all of my music almost instantly, why does VLC take so long, please help, any solutions would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a screenshot, as you can see it has locked up as the side pane is closing :(

Thanks in advance! :)
