[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montrealguy:
Well everything (including Bluetooth) works extremely well on the latest albinoman CM11 nightly, except for the camera. The camera takes reasonably good photos, but not as spectacular as stock. The only thing missing is the optical stabilization, which is mainly a problem if your hands shake.

So last week I tried going back to TW with Xtresolite and Alliance but I got completely fed up with the TW interface. It is really crap compared to pure Android! Every task takes more time to accomplish. Just the TW dialer drives me crazy. I love the Google dialer with built-in search.

So I went back to CM11, because I can live with "reasonably good" photos.

A friend of mine on the galaxy note 3 just tried a CM12 beta and he said the camera was dramatically better. I don't even understand how they did it, especially as devs don't yet have an official lollipop ROM to grab a cancers framework from...

So maybe albinoman's CM12 will have a better camera.

My hopes are pinned on Samsung coming out with a Google Play Edition, so we can just copy the rom. Maybe I'm hoping in vain...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goldie:
Still at a loss as to why people buy Samsung when they hate tw so much but anyway I think Alliance does a pretty good impression of stock android....
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix007:
I use Phoenix ROM ... minus all the bloatware, chooseable by the Aroma installer ...

After that installed 'System app remover' ... removed some more bloatware and apps I never use ...

After that updated everything else via Google Play.

Then installed 'System cleaner ROOT' from Flaki (use the first version, NOT System cleaner 2 !!! It's got a bug in integrating updates, if you do, you have to reflash because it will not boot anymore !!!)

After all this it's stabel, mean, lean and clean ... :)

Not bad, but I'd like my notifications to look exactly like on pure Android or CM. And I want the Google Dialer.

XPERIA Z3 D6603 GLOBAL GENERIC

My older version firmware is: 23.0.A.2.93

I have today installed the NEW version of the firmware: 23.0.1.A.5.73 :D:D:D:D:D

What is new, or diference:

1) Boot animation ( powered by andoid ) is now in centre, not bottom on the screen

2) Home is now similar on Z2 with latest firmware:

Check on my older post:

xdaforums.com/z3/general/xperia-z3-version-home-launcher-z2-t2932040

3) My feel in browser is more fluid, and better response.

4) WI-FI is now little bit better reception( found more wi fi connections)

5) New App in camera: Portrait Retouch

Haha off-topic here, but as a webdev, I understand that exact date "12/31/1969". The mobile app probably is glitchy with how it pulls the date from the database. Perhaps the app and website uses different databases. If you view the site on a desktop, it is actually correct. :)

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matheusimmer:
Hello guys, I was wondering if you could help me out

I already have the phone (durr :D) and the USB OTG Cable but my doubt is the following:

Can I have the USB OTG connected to the phone and to a Hub at the same time?

[btw:Being one of the ports of the USB Hub a charger and the other ones random stuff (such as mouse, keyboard and so on)]

Pretty sure when in otg mode it will always be a power source and unable to charge but I could be wrong.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGass24:
Hi sometimes when I go to use my phone the screen will not register that I am touching it ( sometimes I have to push very hard), however when it does work it is smooth and works for sometimes a day at a time. I have already tried a factory reset and the problem still exists. removing and reinserting the battery always seems to work temporarily( 5-20 minutes) any help would be appreciated as I am at my wits end.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Flash the latest stock firmware with Odin, then factory reset again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGass24:
Okay this should work?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArkThompson:
When does it usually happen (right after you turn the screen on)? How long does the problem last for?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGass24:
Usually happens after the phone has been in sleep, problem lasts anywhere from 30 seconds to numerous hours. makes no sense as the touch screen passes all tests.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGass24:
Honestly I know this sounds weird but I think it's a battery issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArkThompson:
Does it happen when you have the phone plugged in?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGass24:
It appears not to, but that makes no sense unless the battery isn't sending enough power to the screen.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArkThompson:
Does it happen even when the battery is fully charged? A common symptom of a dying battery is that the screen shuts off at low %s (around 20), likely as a result of the voltage decreasing as the battery is discharged.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGass24:
I rarely (if ever) have the problem on a battery over 60% but my full battery only lasts 3 hours anyway.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArkThompson:
Buying a new battery might be a good idea then because 3 hours battery life is awful even without the screen problem.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Rommie2k6:
Ok I'm a bit slow and lagging behind the news,

But with all the WM6 ROM released... what are the differences between them? I've seen releases from Viet, Helmi, Midget, Indra, etc...

I would read up on my own, but there seems to be dozens of posts going around. How do the different ROMS stack up in terms of functionality (i.e. how many bugs), stability and speed? I don't suppose anyone can give a brief recap of what's been going on?

I tried Kingoroot, Iroot, Vroot, Framaroot, Rootmaster and many other aplikacija.

None have worked.Kingoroot sees my phone as a TCL Device(5038x), but the real name is Alcatel OneTouch D5 (5038x). Does anyone know how to root this phone?

Do you have an impact if it's locked bootloader. and if so how it unlocks.

People are explaining how to root the most popular phones, but not the specific phones like i have.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxqas:
Can you run adb shell? If so, run "adb shell" in a dos terminal do the following:

Then from the same dos terminal run "adb pull /sdcard/build.prop" ... (make sure your current location e.g. c:\users\blablah\yadayada)

Then use windows explorer to navigate to where the build.prop was saved to view its contents (you should be able to open it using notepad or wordpad) ... report back the values for the following:

ro.build.version.release

ro.product.board

ro.board.platform

If it's MSM8212, 4.4.2 and MSM8610 you're pretty much out of luck...

And yes Alcatel bootloader for Qualcom (e.g. MSM8212) devices has thus far not been 'hacked' if you know what I mean.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pop31:
This is how I managed to root

Maybe someone will help.

1.Instalirao'm on the computer Android SDK tools.

2.Onda Android ADB, Fastboot and other tools.

3.Instal Java developer kit 8u25.

I installed on their computers VRoot v.1.7.9.

I joined the phone, waited to recognize him and started Root.

My phone is rebooted, and asked to install VRoot and on the phone, which I did.

I started VRoot and on the phone, and so alternately I managed to root the phone.

Then I installed and started supers.

You can root it withowt dos via pdanet. I rooted mine that way.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BiscuitEdi:
I tried mobo genie method and it starts one click to root after launching it (saw it in task manager) but it didn't root it.

I've also tried downloading one click root from official site and was without results.

The tool that worked for me was Shaume (shuame.com/en/root/).

It's a chinese based website which is probably one of the reasons.

After rooting it installed King User (basically SuperSU) and Cleaner Master.

PS: It might say that it failed to root but it worked.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris p:
Hi, i'm new and know very little about how phones work. I clicked on the ota notice. It downloaded until the srceen lit up with the little coloured balls were swirling on the screen for about 20 seconds. The it went to a very dimly lit grey blank screen. I left it for about 10 mins but it just got hot. Then i started pressing the on button to turn it off. All i can get now is the grey screen. The alarm went off on it this morning so it is still working in some part. hope this makes sense.

Help needed please

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlus97:
Well, might be a stupid question but... Does the screen works ? I mean, do you have the black screen & google logo when you boot ? Or just the grey screen ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris p:
All i get is a very very dim grey screen when i mess with the on off button.

Nothing on it at all.

The screen was playing up a bit a few days ago. Cost me £110 to get it fitted.

The original screen broke near the volume rocker.

tx for reply
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Chances are high it's the screen then, especially if it was or has been playing up since you've had it replaced. Go back to the shop that fitted it and ask them to fix it at their cost.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlus97:
So, this isn't the origal screen of your Nexus 5 ?

Well, it seems like an hardware issue if you've got the same grey screen when the phone boots..

Who did the reparation on the screen ? You ? Google/LG ? Or a store ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris p:
I got it done at a local market store. he did say bring it back if i had any problems.

just seems a bit odd that it went on the update. It did get very hot though.

I'l take it in on saturday and see if they will have a look.

Anybody think i'l be covered for the screen being bad from a market store?

tx for the replies.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlus97:
Well, you won't be covered by LG/Google waranty (unless your local store is regognized by LG and has authorizations to change screens without woiding the warranty, but i have some serious doubts here :/)

I don't think that the temperatures would have killed the screen but, you may not mention it to you local store (or they will probably say that the temps are the cause of the dead screen and charge you for a new one..)

Good luck :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] castrum_doloris:
Hey there

I've got a question:

Ist it normal, that the Xperia Z2 (Europe/CH) (when it's in Flashmode) does nothing but a blackscreen? Because I tried to downgrade my Phone to with the flashtool (from flashtool.net) and followed the instructions there. I pushed the Vol-Down trigger and the Flashtool began to work. But the Phone did nothing. Even not the green LED light lit up.

After 30 min I disconnected the phone, because i thought that something went wrong (Flashtool said: flashing data since 30min). Fortunately all went good, the phone started with the downgraded Firmware.

But in the case that I have to repeat this process of rooting my phone, I would be happy if there were some feedbacks from the programms and the phone. What went "wrong" there? Why didn't I recieve a message from Flashtool or the phone?

Thanks and sorry for the english, i didn't use it for little time :) If there's something not clear, I'll try to increase my description.

PS: Sadly I haven't made a copy from the flashtool-log. But it's not that special: All went through until "flashing data" and there it stucked until I cancelled.

EDIT:

Here is the logfile. Here I tried with the "17.1.1.A.0.402. Customization : DE Unbranded" Firmware. But with the Europe-LTE .55 it's the same problem

Spoiler content hidden.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Flashtool should have a progress bar along the bottom, it can take an age to complete, but no harm done if you managed to boot device.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] castrum_doloris:
That's the point. The progress bar also didn't make a move. It was all grey and nothing happened. Therefore I'm a little bit confused. I hope you can understand it

Yeah all went right, Android boots correctly and all functions are doing their jobs without an error. The question is more for my information and knowledge and for the case I have to repeat the root-process. Perhaps I will not have luck again.

In all tutorials I've seen the duration of the flashing process is mentioned by ca 10-15min. And after 30min flashtool was stucked "flashing data" (as you can see in the logfile). And further it isn't only flashtool, which confuses me. Also the phone didn't gave a feedback (neither display nor LED light)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
No feedback from phone is normal but you should get notifications from flashtool, I'm sure my flash takes closer to half an hour but I can't be sure.
