Do you still keep asking so yes then this thread should be moved to Q/A and not here in General !

Sent From Somewhere On Earth With My Z2 ^^

Huh? I didn't create this thread.
[Xperia Z2 General] kylecummins:
So, if im not rooted, theres no way for me to get my bell z2 to 4.4.4?
[Xperia Z2 General] FreshlyBaked 420:
you should be able to get the update, I have a Bell Z2, i was rooted on the .314 software version. Then flashed back to stock Bell firmware. And the update was available both OTA and via PC Companion. worked no problem for me. but I re rooted after following Nortis guide.
[Xperia Z2 General] kylecummins:
Ok.im completly stock but have no OTA available.

Whats pc companion?? Sorry im a noob with sony
[Xperia Z2 General] CMI516:
I also don't have the update available. I've looked and haven't seen any info from Bell saying they won't release this update. What is this info based on?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAPhil:
I am attempting to confim if the original z3 compact I owned was Sim free or not. I no longer have this phone. To cut a long story short, I bought from a third party a Z3C allegedly sim free. The purchase receipt was included with the phone, which included all its original packaging. Unfortunately there was a problem with the phone which meant that I never completed the initial set up and therefore never got to the stage of inserting my SIM. I sent it back to Sony and they replaced it under warranty with a completely new phone. This one however was locked to EE (UK provider). I sent this back and it was replaced with yet another Z3C also locked to EE! My question is, Is it possible to determine from the original box whether the phone was locked? I'm pretty sure it was just from the price on the receipt but I would like some more ammunition in my dispute with Sony!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
I'd visit an IMEI lookup website or twelve.

Check the place you bought it from, make sure to get a copy of what they say (email for example).

You should be able to email Sony support and ask about whether or not your phone is network unlocked using the Barcode, serial number or IMEI. All of these are on the original box.

Just visit the Sony Support website and ask them via email/ticket/whatever and provide all the information you can.

Best of luck

By the way, if all else fails a website like this one may be your only option.

Sure it's 30 EURO (probably cheaper options available I didn't actually look too hard at all) but seeing as you just bought an expensive phone, what's 30 EURO's on top of that?

Anyway, I'd recommend avoiding paying for anything unless you are completely out of options.

[General Topics] JesusFreak316:
I'm writing a paper on Android bootloaders and security, profitability, and network performance and would like to get some of the enthusiast community's opinion.

The paper is framed as an internal proposal to Verizon Wireless management proposing further investigation into their current policies. Part of the paper involves investigating if Verizon Wireless (or ATT even) changing their locked bootloader policies and generally being more dev friendly would encourage those of us who have left them to return. This could provide a profit incentive by gaining new customers. While this would certainly not be a scientific poll, it should do for the purposes of a college paper.

So, again, the question is, would Verizon Wireless changing their locked bootloader policies cause those of you who left to return?

Please clarify your response below, and tell me if there's another option you'd like added to the poll.
[General Topics] Planterz:
For me to return to Verizon they would have to:

Allow bootloader unlocking.

Allow carrier unlocked phones on their network.

Allow their phones to be carrier unlocked to work on other networks.

Not charge so damn much.

Honestly, I don't think that your proposal would make any difference in profits. You could ask 100 random smartphone owners about the bootloader on their phone and maybe one or 2 could even have a clue what the bootloader is/does, and what an unlocked one means vs a locked one.
[General Topics] JesusFreak316:
Thanks for your input.

Hopefully carrier unlocked phones will happen with VoLTE only phones, but that's still speculating now as to whether the FCC band 13 restrictions apply to other services and not just data.

Little known fact, but Verizon is the only carrier that has to have all their LTE devices be carrier unlocked due to the aforementioned FCC rules.

Heh, that last reason is mostly what I meant by other reasons in the poll.

Certainly, I know the enthusiast community is barely a drop in the bucket compared to everyone else, but what I'm wondering is if they are not only missing out on revenue, but are also spending money on extra locks for the devices that don't really protect the network, as nothing on XDA can touch the modem. It's a case of why not, with possibly good publicity in the influential tech community.

Q&A for [ROMS] Original LG Firmware list

Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.

Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROMS] Original LG Firmware list. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.

This forum is called XDA developers so why are all the phones HTC. I love my XDA's and i will be getting the XDA Zinc when it comes out, how come there is no section for it?
[General Topics] fireball2k:
You already said it:

"When it comes out" - the device is not available yet, so I think a proper forum will be created by our admins when it's time for it.

XDA history

Whilst the original xda (Wallaby) was an HTC device, the name xda was an O2 name and continues to apply to O2 branded pda's even though manufacturers have changed. If this is, more accurately, an htc-developers forum I can understand them sticking to their guns, but if it is a pda-developers forum I can't.

The Asus MarsII design has been around for a while as the leaked FCC threads have shown. If a MarsII/Zinc folder was going to appear it would have done by now.

Personally, I'd like to see non-HTC folders on here as I like the forum, but it ain't my call. If they don't appear on here, they'll spring up somewhere else as soon as people start buying Zinc's/MarsII's/MDA-whatevers/etc.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
i'd post it in the

About xda-developers.com

or request the adm if i were you

my exp is that forum changes comes in bursts and not often

but one problem could be giving the misconception of owners of other devices like LOOX and ipaq and the likes that they could use HTC roms tools and developers exp to fix issues and port roms to their devices because there were forums on the site for their devices

but then that is the case now too

so by giving them their own forum would isolate posts about those devices in their own forums rather then in general

that is ofcause untill ppl got lonely and fustrated from lack of response in their device forum and double posted their "can i unlock my nokia and flash it with WM6 rom" posts ;)

Note*: I have a 7000mAh zerolemon battery but prior to getting the battery I had good battery life.

P.s the big spikes on the battery were from when I switched back to my stock battery for something (still doing the cycle charges)
[Galaxy S III General] matyas69:
Wow 7000 mAh, your phone had become a brick xD. Anyway amazing battery life. 13 hour screen on that's good.
[Galaxy S III General] senaferdy79:
wow 7000mah, is it has a real 7000mah capacity??

and can you upload some pics of your battery? im wondering how big it could be :D
[Galaxy S III General] matyas69:
Search on google, many pictures and videos on it.
[Galaxy S III General] Grimzee:
Go on the zerolemon website and have a look there, it does make the phone quite a bit thicker but i got used to it within the first day of having it and now it's fine. To give you some estimate, it's about twice and little more thickness of the original phone.

Haha yeah it pretty much has but you get used to it pretty quickly. So glad i don't need to take my cable around anymore, only needed to charge my phone twice during last week (Sunday-Sunday).
[Galaxy S III General] matyas69:
I was thinking my battery life is great with 4.3. I was wrong. Since 4.4.4 update with exactly the same setting and same kernel(Agni). Battery life is way better and my phone is much faster(du to use new armv7 instructions)

Hmm, i think, that you flashed wrong rom. I'm not sure, but ginger dx is for xperia x8

Second thing, flashtool says, that your bootloader cannot be unlocked, are u have phone from Orange? I know, that Orange in Poland (don't know, how it looks in other countries, where Orange is working, but in Poland they do it) block fastboot, and this dirabiing unlocking bl, and i supose, for this rom bootloader must be unlocked. I'm not sure, but that i think.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kamil2685:
Christoferos,

I don`t have phone from Orange that is Plus (that is polish operator) and phone don`t have simlock.

What can i do to restore my phone to the life.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
It looks like your bootloader was not successfully unlocked, thats why you cant flash the kernel or the customised 2.1.1.c.0.0 firmware. Try the repair option in PC Companion. (Choose update without connecting your phone and it should give you a little repair-link).

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radu_Stancu:
"Xposed is a framework for modules that can change the behavior of the system and apps without touching any APKs. That's great because it means that modules can work for different versions and even ROMs without any changes (as long as the original code was not changed too much). It's also easy to undo. As all changes are done in the memory, you just need to deactivate the module and reboot to get your original system back. There are many other advantages, but here is just one more: Multiple modules can do changes to the same part of the system or app. "

Xposed it`s not just an app. Any modifications that you do can be easily reverted back, which is better than the risky flashing way.

[Nexus 9 General] Rafaeli11:
quick story:

I bought the black nexus 9 16GB on release date at best buy. upon unboxing it, i was a bit disappointed. the build quality was pretty weak. right away i noticed that there was a click on the back, right above the HTC logo. you can press upon it, it felt a bit hollow. anyhow i tried to look pass it because I'm a really big nexus fan. next i noticed the weak volume and power buttons. there were very flush and very hard to find and press. most of the time i would accidentally power off the display trying to raise the volume. i again tried to look pass it, and actually used it for a full week. the final stray came when, after a week's use and after downloading all my apps I looked at the available storage and there were only 3gb left. No way, i just couldn't do it. with no expandable storage this was just a deal breaker. i immediately returned it to best buy. I wanted to give it another shot because i really enjoyed the screen size and front facing speakers of the nexus 9. So I bought the white nexus 9 32GB off of amazon with next day delivery.

the White nexus 9 was way better. And I mean WAYYYYY better. the volume and power button stick out more, more tactile, and have an audible click. the back feels much more solid and there is no click or give anywhere on the back. the Metal band that goes around the nexus actually looks and feels metal, something that i totally forgot and looked passed on the black version.

Conclusion: if you are going to get a nexus 9 get the WHITE 32GB version. i consider myself a minimalist but the black version just looks too bland. Ive seen the BUTTON ISSUE on the black display model at best buy. maybe the change in materials is actually causing some issues.

hope this helps anyone looking for a nexus 9. I also want to know if anyone is experiencing some issues with the white model
[Nexus 9 General] macrossmerrell:
I too have the 32GB White Nexus 9 and it's a rock solid piece of equipment. The build quality is excellent including screen, white case back, and buttons. The white case makes the whole thing look sexy.

[Nexus 9 General] Diesel779:
Thanks for this post Rafaeli11. I ordered the white Nexus 9 on Friday and it's being delivered tomorrow. Since ordering it I've read so many negative comments that's I've almost canceled my order and just got an iPad instead. I have noticed, however that the people having problems all seem to be using the black version. After reading your post I'm a little less anxious about the build quality my Nexus 9 may have. I've read on a few different sites now that the back of the white version is more solid.

Thanks again.
[Nexus 9 General] Si73:
Unfortunately that's what I did. After reading all the negative reviews on here I went and spent the money I had saved for the nexus 9 on an iPad Air 2. It was not all that!! The sound distorts and vibrates and on a certain area of the screen just a normal light touch caused a wavy effect (just like if you press really hard on a LCD screen). This also happened when you hold the tablet in a certain way. Luckily I managed to get a full refund and will now get the Nexus 9. We all learn from our mistakes!!!!
