[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souuupl:
Hi,

just wanted to ask if there isn't any possibility to remove the simlock without purchasing a unlock code? I tried to use RegionAway from Chainfire and it didnt worked. Would be nice if you could help me.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If your variant of the S4 wasn't available in mid-2013, you have to ask your carrier for an unlock code, or you have to buy one. This is because the later variants, such as the I9506 and I9515, do not have a ROM sufficiently dated to be able to do the task.

Pretty much as the topic says. I'm in need of a backup solution for my note 4.

A bonus would be able to restore apps that have been backed up using my titanium backups I have stored, but the ability to backup this existing phone is most important.

Can anyone help? Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlin:
Hi, I used Helium found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en

It works pretty well, restored my apps and data from my previous phone. However, it will not restore TB backups. You'll have to install Helium on your old device, back up your apps + data, then restore to the N4. Helium did not handle MMS well, so I installed Mybackup Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupPro&hl=en to handle SMS/MMS.

Fortunately, with the release of lollipop, Android will finally incorporate full app/data backup a la iphone, making programs like TB somewhat obsolete.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimdoocheol:
I think most people want TB just b/c they can freeze apps and it makes a great app manager. Really, backing up apps is good for switching roms, otherwise nandroids are slightly better since it retains all the widgets. So many widgets fail from restoring with TB :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sakete:
In general when flashing ROMs or switching phones it's not a good idea to install apps from a backup. Just do a clean install and you can be assured to not have any problems. When restoring a backup all sorts of things can go wrong, including data getting corrupted.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] eadmaster:
Since actually i don't have a uSD card in my Nook, i would like to dowload small files directly into my internal memory.

By now i've tried:

- Opera Classic 12.10 (gives an error due to missing SD card, cannot change download location)

- Dolphin 10.3.0 (can change the download location in the settings, but still gives an error due to missing SD card :confused:)

- stock Android browser (seems to download, but i could not find the files anywhere in the fileststem :confused:)
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] OverByter:
Unfortunately I doubt that it's possible because of the way that B&N has the eMMC partitioned, but to be truthful I have not personally looked into it very far.

OB
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] NOOK!E:
I can tell you for a fact that you're not going to find an external browser that can download to the internal memory. :(

However, I think that the stock web browser downloads files to /data/media/B&N Downloads/Extras by default; the best way to check this would be to open the browser settings menu and see where there's a "Where to download files" setting. (I can't do this, as I uninstalled the stock browser a while ago).

If you'll provide me with Browser.apk from your /system/app, I'd be glad to do some testing for you; other than that, just buy a 2gb microSD card, they're diry cheap and well worth it. ;)

(I went from S3 -> Z3. Considered waiting for the Z4 but what's the point? It's still all just rumours and when that's out you'll be waiting for the Z5!)

Z3 is the first Android I've had where I don't want to get rid of the UI for stock/CM/Slimroms etc. I need root fairly badly for development reasons, and there's no way of doing that without losing some Sony software, but between the sensible Sony UI and the ability to use adb pm to remove unwanted bloat I have no other complaints at all.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
I wouldn't. You'd be downgrading the camera, probably a bit of speed and maybe even battery life depending on how you use your phone. Also the S5 is much more comfortable to hold and has a better screen.

Edit: Still happy with it, but my biggest complaint has to do with SMS/MMS: Sometimes it just flat out fails. Have to go into airplane mode and back to get it working again. (I don't use WiFi calling, so that's not it.) Have tried turning off auto date/time as a possible fix as reported by others. Too soon to tell.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
It depends person to person but if you are going to be in a 2 year contract and use your phone "extensively", you will more than likely see screen burn on the S5. Its the nature of organic LEDs. Also the Z3 on manual takes good pics Im sure they will fix auto mode in the new update.

As for battery life the Z3 will have better battery-life every review I have seen says the same, especially in web surfing because on white back grounds AMOLED uses a lot more power than LCD's.

In the audio department Z3 has stereo speakers which the S5 does not. As for the audio jack output both are good.

GSM Arena battery life test results on bottom of each page.

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s5-review-1064p3.php

At the end of the day both are good phones though. Try each one and see which suits you as our opinions may not match yours.

I consider my self fairly neutral when comes to phones. I used to tell people to avoid Sony (only the phones) in the mid 2000s (Symbian era) as most of my friends/relatives phones had issues in less than a year but Sony has come a long way and this is my first Sony phone and I am happy.

i want to make a custom gapps.zip with purchased apps. its only for my own phone (same google-acount). i dont want to reinstall all apps, it needs to many time.

how can i extract/porting purchased apps from my phone for a custom gapp-zip?

i only know, i can use an original gapp-zip but cant rezip it, have to open it with winrar and drag`n`drop it... right?

i want to do this because i want to be the maintainer of the HTC One X (endearovu) and dont have a second one... not enough money... but next month i buy a second ;)

its NOT for ilegal use!!!
[General Questions and Answers] ryan012:
You can make a new one for your system and user apps. If you know anything about using adb you can manually make flashable zips of your apps and read how to use adb from here.

http://varunbpatil.github.io/2013/03/02/apps-zip/

If you want to use an app to automatically do it you can try ZipMe app from the Google Play Store. I don't know how good it is. I use titanium backup most times. Test it on one app first. ZipMe has worked on my phone.

Make a zip of apps or data or apps + data and then copy it to sd card or to a usb storage then you can flash it using a custom recovery or some other way. Titanium Backup Pro can do it but it's the paid version that has the extra things like making zips.

You can make a nandroid backup then use the nandroid manager app to extract apps and data from the nandroid backup.

I would wipe cache and dalvik cache when flashing any zips before restarting or while in recovery before starting
[General Questions and Answers] cyrok:
can you tell me how you make it with titanium? i buyed already xD
[General Questions and Answers] ryan012:
Go to Menu, Batch Actions.

Make a backup of any apps and data you want.

Go to Menu, Batch Actions.

In Recovery spot create an update.zip

Select the apps you want and name the zip.

Don't select exclude system APKs

Check sign with Zip file (with zipsigner)

It goes into sdcard folder then you can flash the file when you want to.

Strange thing has happened to my beloved N6. This was a Tmob purchased device. Activated on via an existing VZ sim & been working since day 1 no prob. However, about 3 hours ago or so, its lost all its cellular data. Tried reboot, take sim in/out, etc. No luck.

When I first got it, it was using 'Global' as the 'Preferred Network Type'. When it was busted early today, that was set to LTE with no option for Global. Also, earlier, it would let me scan for available carriers...now after the factory reset...its locked into VZ once again.

I didnt do anything, to my knowledge, to cause it to do any of this...And thats the scary part.

(well, everything short of new SIM card)

The situation:

-bought a 32GB N5 from a guy

-I'm on Rogers in Canada

-on Lollipop

-cannot get LTE, only 3G and 4G (H)

-APN is correct

-checked everything in *#*#4636#*#*

-cleared cache

-reflashed facotry image

-tried Cataclysm

SOMETIMES, I'll get "LTE", but it's a phantom - there actually isn't a connection at all.

I've swapped phones many times before; never had an issue. I read in threads someone saying that on AT&T that you need to register IMEI with them to get new device working with LTE. I never had to before, but called Rogers to check if this is something they've started doing.....no.

Under device model, it doesn't say either 820 or 821. It says "Nexus 5"

I started thinking that I stupidly bought the international model off the guy, but then when i was in fastboot mode I saw that it did say 820.

So.............I'm stumped, puzzled and pissed.
