[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tribemac:
You don't have to remove anything from stock launcher. It won't run in the background. You can setup how many different launchers you want and switch between without that effecting battery.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipspeak:
Launchers like Nova don't mess with apps at all. They simply create a new skin -- a new way of seeing and accessing what's already on the phone. All the same Sony apps will still be there in the app drawer and they'll behave in exactly the same way as they would if you were using the Xperia Launcher or any other launcher (although Nova might change some of the icons for system apps like dialer, messaging, settings etc.). And if you uninstall apps through Nova they're uninstalled from the phone, period. So they will not be there even if you revert back to the Xperia Launcher.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] redsox 98:
I went back to stock by flashing the images and all was good. This morning it was off. I left for work and tried to turn it on and it just gets stuck at the boot animation. When I can get into stock recovery the android guy and triangle are there but under that it says "No command." and it wont go past the boot animation. I have tried a factory reset and same result. I am at work so I am trying to set up adt and try to push the stock image but firewall after firewall keeps shooting me down. Any suggestions? I know that usb debugging was not on because I had not even granted the developer options since restoring.

Edit

I got the sdk installed at work but no devices are listed on a adt device search!

Edit

and of course the computer doesnt see it either.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Defenestratus:
Yesterday news hit of a particular kind of network tower spoofing program by the US justice department. While I'm not particularly worried about them (other than the precedent and obvious 4th Amendment implications) I'm more concerned with less-than-savory cell tower spoofing operators. Is it possible that Android could be tailored to protect against this happening? Is there a way to guarantee the tower you're connected to is a legit tower?

I know that theres been a "black box" phone out there but I'm not that paranoid about it - all I'd like is just the ability to ensure that my phone is not hooking up to a rogue network.

Thanks!

The description seems to be very clear. It's just a wired remote control when using 3rd party headsets.

Description as stated in HTC's website.

A wired remote control for music and voice calls.

This compact in size and lightweight remote control includes functionality to manage both audio (Volume, Play/Pause/Forward/Backward) and calls (SEND/END, Mute with LED indicator, Hold switch, Microphone, Call waiting, and Voice dial).

The remote also includes a 3.5mm stereo headset jack (headet not included) and an FM antenna for devices with an integrated FM radio).

In xperia z2, is any security system against root like the knoxx of samsung? Which has a counter and void the warranty?

If not, the root void the warranty?

And the last question. There is already the root for version 4.4 with unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
No need, xperia security is among the hardest to crack, not happened at all since 2011 and only 1 person ever did in 2011

It can be rooted eaisly but as said security isnt a problem with root or modding or bootloader unlock.

Root and bootloader unlock voids warrenty but you can reinstate your warrenty by backing up your TA before unlocking bootloader

You can unroot and restore your TA later

Xperias can be restored to a 100% factory state, there are no flash counters or anything of that sorts

Any questions... Just ask
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackimera:
What is TA? And how i can backup it?

Sorry, I'm a newbie in this area ...

I searched for index topics, but i don't found ... There is here a simple tutorial on how to root the z2? And installing TWRP mode or clockwork (I think that's how you write it).
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
1. TA partition contains drm keys and other unique numbers to your device (these existing upholds your warrenty and upholds some xperia features such as X-Reality and PS4 remote play)

This link you can use this tool to backup TA but you need to root first

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292598

2. Root via root tools (general section or development sections) (this depends on firmware version blah.bla.314 firmware or before is rootable with locked bootloader

3. Cwm or twrp requires a unlocked bootloader however if you have root you can install [NUT]'s dual recovery
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dzyans15:
I've had my z2 for two days now and previously flashed my HTC one XL so I'm not super new but still pretty green with it all. Will it matter being an Australian phone for the root etc? I don't plan on flashing a rom at the moment I'm pretty happy with the stock firmware

Looking for a good car mount with wireless charging that will work with the nexus 6 any recommendations?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jdenman03:
I'd recommend not using one. Wireless charging will be way to slow on the n6.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ejkeebler:
used the square stock wireless charger with my n5, stuck a clip to the back of it and just relied on the magnets to hold it. Didn't wiggle at all, never fell off, was perfect, wish I could rig the same thing with the N6, but I don't think the magnets will be near strong enough.

A qi charge is going to charge at 1a at most, for he N5 that was more than enough to cover full brightness, gps, and streaming over bluetooth, and still providing enough to charge the battery. I IMAGINE if you could somehow hook it up like that, it would provide enough of a charge to the N6 as well, at worst I think you'd not lose charge. JMHO though.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Castanoff:
So if you not recommending the wireless charge on it then do the sell a fast charge adapter for the car? Really the main thing is a good car dock. I figured the wireless charge would just be a plus.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nyijedi:
I've been using the Airdock with my Nexus 5 for a while now and I absolute LOVE it. It uses magnets to hold the N5 in place, and I'm hoping the N6 also has these magnets. It also has a special surface that is supposed to hold certain phones without magnets, depending on the material of the back of the phone.

Also as far as the speed of charging, it works well enough to slowly charge my N5 with the screen always on in my car and with GPS running (at a minimum, it keeps it from losing charge). This is all I need in my car. On those certain occasions where you really want a faster charge, I just plug it in.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] westw:
Let us know if it works with N6. Can you have a slim case on the phone an the magnet still works?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nyijedi:
Got my N6 today. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the AirDock, as it doesn't stay on it. Looks like the N6 doesn't have any magnets. Very disappointing.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] fictionoid:
I've read the magnets are near the bottom of the phone. Can you double check?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nyijedi:
I just ran a magnet all over the back of the N6. There is indeed some type of magnetic pull in the bottom corner, however, it is EXTREMELY weak. I'm guessing it's there to maybe help nudge the phone into the correct position when laying flat on a (future official?) qi charger, but it is absolutely not enough to hold it onto the AirDock. By way of comparison, the magnetic pull with the magnet is much stronger, and over a much greater area, on the N5.

Also, the N6 is a lot heavier than the N5. Add the curved back into the equation, and these 3 factors pretty much guarantee the phone won't work with the AirDock. Believe me, I tried to get it to stick on the AirDock today, and there's no way it's happening.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] down8:
iOttie Qi charger works. You've got to find the sweet spot to have it grasp the side, without hitting the volume buttons, and still getting the charging coils aligned. Not super difficult - just takes a second to align. I expect this to be irrelevant once I get a case which keeps the buttons recessed.

-bZj
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Alpha52:
Anyone who's using a QI car dock have any input on charging / maintaining charge with screen always on, brightness up, streaming music, maps, etc.

I'm just curious if the iOttie or any other wireless chargers can avoid LOSING charge with the N6 when under "heavy" use.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MoeDaddy:
One problem I find is you can't keep the screen on when wirelessly charging once the battery is at 100%. The phone stops charging so the screen goes off. Very annoying hopefully someone can find a fix.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Berzerker7:
The "Stay Awake" option in the Developer Options should be what you're looking for.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MoeDaddy:
No that doesn't work when the phone is fully charged because the N6 doesn't have trickle mode it actually shuts off charging. Thus the screen shuts off.

My Homebrew Wireless Car Charging Solution

I made my own wireless car charger by grafting a PowerBot charging puck onto a Ram Large X-Grip. I simply used double-faced tape to attach the PowerBot to the X-Grip. I started this with my Nexus 5 in a Spigen Neo-Hybrid case and it works just as well with my N6 inside a Diztronic Slim TPU case.

Here's the charger:

http://www.amazon.com/PowerBot®-PB1...687&sr=8-1&keywords=powerbot+wireless+charger

And here's the X-Grip:

http://www.amazon.com/Ram-Mount-Uni...TF8&qid=1416714725&sr=8-4&keywords=ram+x-grip

You'll need a way to attach the X-Grip to your vehicle. Ram-Mount's website has countless ways to do this.

Here's Ram's website:

http://www.rammount.com/

I used a Mirror-Mate(TM):

http://www.rammount.com/NewProducts/MirrorMount/tabid/2538/Default.aspx

And paired it with a Long Arm (don't use the shorter ones; the phone will hit the rear-view mirror in portrait orientation):

http://www.rammount.com/CatalogResu...65077045066045050048049085045067/Default.aspx

I can leave the PowerBot plugged into my cigarette lighter all the time (standard mini-USB cable and 12V-USB adapter) and it's easy to mount or remove the phone, just squeeze the arms of the X-Grip together and out it comes (this takes two hands or the phone will fall). This works great for calls, navigation, or as a dash-cam. Ram makes suction cups for those who want to mount directly to the windshield but I highly recommend the Mirror-Mate(TM).

Not cheap, total cost about $70 plus shipping.

EDIT: I just saw this in another thread and I'm going to replace my PowerBot with this Anker:

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Ultra-S...Qi-Enabled/dp/B00HIZ3ZI4/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t

Right now the 4 rubber grippers are flush with the front of the phone, which makes it a bit finicky to mount securely. The Anker charging pad is about 1/8" thinner than the PowerBot, which will accommodate the thickness of the phone perfectly with about 1/8" of overlap between the 4 grippers and the bezel of the N6. Putting the N6 in the X-Grip without the charger in-between leaves the 4 grippers protruding above the bezel about 3/8" which means they can get in the way if I'm trying to use the touchscreen near them.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] toyfreak:
I used double-faced mounting tape between the X-Grip and charger. The cable is 1m long.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] DesertLawman:
What did you use to bond the qi charger to the ram mount?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] socioteq:
I posted about this on Reddit a ways back. I still use the same mount for my N6 and it works fine with the QI charger attached.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/24jfeu/cd_slot_qi_charger_mount/

I now have it set up to where Tasker recognizes when the phone is wirelessly charging and connects to bluetooth and plays GPM automatically. When it senses that it is no longer charging I have an exit task that disconnects and turns off bluetooth, stops media playback and turns off the screen.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] hanginwithdaddo:
[MENTION=280352]toyfreak[/MENTION] - Thanks for this post! Based on your notes I did the same thing using an Amzer Qi charger and this works great! The charger keeps up with using blue tooth for audio, playing music, and running waze all at the same time. Thanks again for this suggestion!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cz6y48:
I have the iOttie in two cars and I can stream audio over bluetooth and run the navigation without losing power. I don't run my screen at full brightness though. I probably run it at 85% or so just because I don't want it to be so bright that it's distracting.

I do run it off of a two port, high-current QC-2 compliant power adapter, not the one that it came with. I don't do it specifically to get more current to the iOttie, it's so I have the the option to charge a second phone and/or get a fast charge by plugging into the power adapter directly. That said, having a little beefier adapter *may* make a difference on how much power is available via the iOttie.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cz6y48:
Just to test, I turned the brightness all the way up and used Nav and Pandora with high quality audio selected for maximum bandwidth use. With my screen on for my entire 45 minute commute the charge level on my phone didn't change. That tells me that wireless charging is probably only good for maintaining power if you're doing screen on navigation and streaming in the car.

For me, it's fine. I have Qi chargers scattered all over my house and on my desk at work so I'm usually getting into the car with a full battery. Really all I'm looking for my car dock to do is keep it that way and hold the phone where i can see and reach it easily. Since I don't run at full brightness and normally don't drive with screen on navigation I usually do a little better than break even. With the extra QC 2.0 charging port I can go from a dead battery to fully charged in an hour and a half so even if I do get in the car needing a big top up I have that capability.

Both, Note 3 Neo and TV are logged in to Samsung account.

It is probably not a hardware fault as my wife's Note 3 Neo, (N7502 / Android 4.3), bought at the same time, is also having the same problem.

It wasn't long winded, it was detailed and picked out some key points for anyone looking to buy. Also, as you rightly say, no point in going into more detail on the screen qual - you can't see it on a compressed YT vid and chances are the screen it's viewed on wouldn't express it even if you could!

FWIW, I'd edit the YT title to "Z3 Compact Tablet" instead of Z3TC so it's found more easily - I was looking for comparison vids the other day and didn't find yours.
