[Windows Phone 8 General] jh20001:
I cooked up some wallpapers for WP8+ lock screen and wanted to share them.

Wallpapers

: http://www.animevortex.net/blog/thesaint/windows-phone-7-wallpaper-gallery

Instructions: Simply save them to your phone by viewing the page from your phone or from your PC using connected USB, as you would do any other normal wallpapers.

I've been mad busy the last few years, but I'm going to try my best to slowly get back into the game of hobbies! I can't always guarantee that I can come through with every request but I will try when I can :) Most of the wallpapers were originally sponsored by donations so it helped. The rest I have to dabble with on my free time.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrickbartalesi22:
I have a galaxy s4 rooted with a sound modification called viper4android and i am wondering if the z3 (z3 unrooted) audio quality is better than my s4.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Go to GSMArena they have audio tests in their review for each phone measuring crosstalk, dynamic range etc.

Z3 is better than the S4 when it comes to the internal speakers.

The S4 with headphones/earphones is probably better according to their stats. But I doubt you'd notice the difference, unless you are an extreme audiophile.

Go to the

bottom of page on each link

, you will see the audio values for the given phones and their competition.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DZH1:
The Z3 sound quality is beyond incredible when using Walkman under Hi Res Audio conditions.

Hi Res Audio on the Z3 line has been mostly ignored by the press, NO idea why.

With Sony's better headphones, and WAVE music files, be prepared to never ever accept awful MP3 again.

So good, nothing else out there with Android touches this line... unless you grab the Walkman Xz1 that is.

( which I highly recommend )
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
The stats from GSMArena don't lie and using same headphones the GS4 is better, you are being subjective not objective. The Z3 is good but many phones are slightly better including the M8, GS4, GS5, LG G2/3.

The LG G2 also supported HD Audio since release in 2013.

Also there are many companies that make equal/better headphones.

I know you love the Z3 like all of us here but I'm trying to be objective for the OP.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DZH1:
I have that phone, can't STAND the sound through same headphones.. .. not even close.

At least IMO, as everyone has different hearing.

...But not even close.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
You are not being objective (statistics) you are being subjective.

To each his own, but the rest of the bunch have a cleaner output

I have yet to read a review where the Z3 is superior heaphone audio wise over the mentioned phones anywhere.

If you find me an article please link it. It however is good but not M8/G3 level.

I suggest you read the testing methods in the links, either you are using bad headphones or a defective LG G2 if you find that much difference against the G2:p. The other phones I mentioned have cleaner output, according to audiophiles that I know.

I my own opinion however honestly can't tell the difference between any of them.:D
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
The best test is to test them yourself. I have used almost all of the current flagships, hell i've owned most of them, and the Z3 is first of all better sound quality than the S4 with or without viper4android, but not as loud.

As for the rest, i'd argue the Z3 sounds better, to my ears as well.

This is of course with the headphones that come with it. I'm sure there's better headphones.

Review websites are never, ever objective or honest, ever.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Im just saying GSMArena uses equipment to measure/audio quality so I doubt their equipment lies, just look at the stats in the links.

Signal

Unlike you two, we TMO guys get no headphones with our phones.:(

I'm using a $60 MEElectronics M-Duo which is very good for its price range, and as good as some $100 headphones.

Audio Stats for GS4/Z3 Amp and headphones in images below:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Statistics aside - S4 doesn't come even close to Z3 with Noise Cancelling and DSEE HX turned on - which sounds amazing, especially when you listen to Hi Res tracks.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
I agree, HD Audio is nice but problem is large retailers like GooglePlayMusic, iTunes, etc do not even offer them yet, The only HD tracks I have heard are the Vienna Boy's Choir tracks which came with my LG G2, one of which is "Pick up your phone" :laugh:.

Unfortunately, until Apple's iPhone supports it I doubt many online stores will push HD out quickly. At least the major stores that is.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrickbartalesi22:
Thanks for your input and I have decided I will buy the z3 soon.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Enjoy! Its a great device, the statistical differences I mentioned are very minute in real world perception so you won't be dissapointed, not to mention the stereo speakers which is a nice upgrade from the GS4 (My sister has one).
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
DSEE is meant to "upscale" or attempt to rebuild compression losses, not to be used on losless formats.

DSEE Research Article: basically from testing it says DSEE just adds some made up highs, though if you like it or not depends person to person.

http://www.realhd-audio.com/?p=2240

Excellent article on HD Audio, by the creator of the Ogg Vorbis format.

http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
I know that. Maybe I should have added "where applicable" :) Doesn't change the fact - hi-res audio + noise cancelling or low-res audio+noise cancelling+dsee - both give amazing results.

As you said before - it's a shame that so little hi-res music is available. I recommend trying David Helpling's "Found" album in Studio Master option ( flac, 24bit, 96khz ) - results are amazing.

It's actually shocking that iPhone 6 doesn't support hi-res audio, especially looking at Apple's years of commitment to music.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
True, good discussion though. :)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Of couse :)

Anyway, [MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] - hope you will be happy with your Xperia Z3. I have been using it for two weeks now and so far it keeps impressing me on audio and battery life sides.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Love it here as well, I'm sure OP will like it. I had the LG G2, the Xperia Z3 feels like a true worthy succesor to it, the LG G3 felt like a downgrade lower battery and lower contrast screen just so they could stuff a power hungry QHD, which is more a gimmick than useful:rolleyes:.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Tell me about it... I might be blind but I can't distinguish between pixels on my 1080p screen even if I keep it 1cm from my face... why the hell would I want to sacrifice so much gpu power and battery to display so many more pixels that won't really affect what I see... silly, isn't it ? But I'm quite sure we will see 4K displays soon enough, but wait another 10 years for a battery that lasts 3 days.:D
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Well some teenage researcher in California created a battery tech that allows full charge in minutes, so at least on the charging front things are improving.:)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballsofsteel:
What? The S4 has good audio quality? I thought it was absolutely garbage compared to the S3 when the same headphones are plugged in. Are you talking about the i9505 or i9500 because I am pretty sure the i9505 DAC in the Snapdragon is trash, whilst I can't comment on the Wolfson on the i9500 it was amazing on the i9300. I highly doubt Sony can come up with something worse than the i9505.

Can anyone help me to change the internal data partition size of rooted iball 3G 7334i running android 4.1.2.

Total internal storage is 16GB but apps can only be installed in 1GB partition which I need it to be 4GB.

Note: I don’t wanna use external memory card as storage. Instead I just want to change the original size of data partition and storage partition.

Please reply with any suggestions for better options.

Clean Flash Steps:

Download ROM, Download Gapps also if you want to flash it with the rom (Gapps link can be found in the rom after 1st boot so its up to you)

Reboot to TWRP & Nandroid backup if needed

Wipe System/Data/Dalvik-cache/Cache

Install ROM + Gapps in that order than reboot

If you flashed just the ROM because you wanted to download Gapps after first boot than read the "Get Gapps From Inside The Rom" section a few lines down

Dirt Flash Steps:

Flash new zip ontop of current setup, no need to flash gapps again as the rom zip will backup your current installed gapps and install the new '/system' files than place gapps back

Get Gapps From Inside The Rom:

Builds after 3.2 include this feature

Settings>About Phone>LiquidSmooth Downloads

Choose either "PA Gapps" or "LiquidSmooth Gapps"

If you want us to look at your Bug Report or consider a Feature Request, I encourage you to please post it on our G+ Community Page

Phone isn't being detected in MTP mode?

Pictures to guide you - http://imgur.com/a/UHKci

Download the Google ADB Drivers http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

Extract the zip so you have a "usb_driver" folder

In device manager right-click "LG-VS985" than "update driver software" & do the "Browse my computer for driver software" option

Browse to the "usb_driver" folder you extracted, make sure you have the "usb_driver" folder selected and not the folders inside it than confirm & click next and unplug/re-plugin the phone

"usb_driver" folder can be deleted after drivers have been isntalled correctly

Double-Tap To Wake not working?

Settings>LiquidSmooth>Status Bar>Double-Tap to sleep

Settings>Display>Double-Tap to wake

Why is chrome browser opening in windowed mode?

Its a Chrome BETA issue in some ROMs, Use the non-beta version if you want chrome

How do i change my DPI?

Settings>LiquidSmooth>Interface>Custom Densitity

Broken List:

Bluetooth still seems messed up for a few people

Larger SD-Cards seems to have mounting issues for some, reformatting may be the fix (haven't tested this myself since i use 16GB)

Download the rom & gapps

Backup things if you need to than go into twrp recovery and wipe data/system/cache/dalvik than flash the ROM and gapps together

If you don't have bump twrp than do that first

BUG??

Clean flashed and connected to WiFi right away with no issue. Left the house for a while. Just got back a bit ago and noticed it wasn't connected to my WiFi. When I tried to connect it only shows my router and says "not in range". I try to disable and then enable WiFi but nothing. Something it even seems to freeze up for a couple seconds but I still can't get it to connect. Then once I got a green screen that had something about "app crash" and I had to push volume down to reboot.

Gave it a little time and then the networks in my area showed up once WiFi turned on but when I went to select mine if froze for a couple seconds then said WiFi not in range. So I still can't get anything to connect or even show up on there.

Anyone else? Any suggestions?
[Verizon LG G3] d08speed3:
In TWRP its under the restore tab. Let's say you backup your current ROM...you flash this ROM and hate it...go into TWRP and under restore you will see the file name and date that you made the backup.

His: HTC One M8

Hers: LG G3
[Verizon LG G3] THEbigSWEEN:
If something goes wrong or you want to go back to your previous ROM you just go to "restore" in TWRP and pick the name/date of the backup you want. If you're referring to restoring your previous apps/settings etc then you would use one of the many back up apps of your choice (titanium backup, mybackup, I think helium is another one) I prefer Titanium Backup and use the pro version, but you just open and restore your backups within the app. Never restore system data or apps because that can cause issues and force closes. With Titanium Backup you can even restore your apps from a TWRP backup or create your own Update.zip to flash and restore your apps.

If I remember correctly the signal was more or less the same, just slightly lower with AOSP as it's not the OEM software but usually not noticeably worse, and on the stock ROM it "fluffs" the signal (as far as the status bar icon goes) to make it look like you're getting better reception. From what I remember (also had a Note II) it was never more than 2-4 dbm lower on AOSP, but of course YMMV since different areas get different signal strengths.

Download is finally finished!! Time for some Liquid goodness!!!! :good::good::highfive::laugh::D

Thanks for this find, however this only changes the duration of the vibration, not the intensity. I'm sure [MENTION=5035862]bunchies[/MENTION] is aware of this and it will get fixed in time :) But yes, the weak vibration is a little annoying imho ;)
