[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] harryw66:
Darn - ordered it yesterday afternoon from Amazon UK - delivered this morning.

Sorry.:(

Have to say, early impressions that it is a really good case - quality finish. Not to bulky but not quite as sleek as I was perhaps hoping for. e.g. my last A8-50 genuine Lenovo case was very slim and my colleague's Nexus 7 (2013) likewise.

From the photographs I thought it would be moulded rubber/plastic but it appears to be faux leather bonded to rubbery innards.

I have owned several tablets over the past few years and usually I would baulk at the price of the genuine cover & get some cheap 3rd party. Invariably I would find them too bulky and felt they would ruin the portability of the tablet. But, more recently I started buying the genuine case when on offer etc and find them a much better sleeker fit.

Overall I would give this 4/5 - and I would say is worth the £22 I paid for it.

This is my case. It is very well made, has ballistic nylon, and a zipper around the edge. I know the description says it is for 7" devices but it holds my Z3TC just fine. It's easy to remove from the case if necessary and also has a kickstand function. I'd highly recommend it. I got mine at Wal*Mart for around 20 bucks.

Customized SCR28 official cover

see my post here, I modified the SCR28 in order to support the magnetic charging without opening the cover.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] harryw66:
Thanks. I was tempted to modify mine too - like I did with my Z1 Compact CaseMate - but decided against it in the end, in case I did not get a clean/neat finish.

I only tend to charge my Z3 tablet once every 10-12 days so can live with leaving the cover open.

has anyone bought a poetic slimline case for their z3tc? i cant find them anywhere (the poetic cases website has a 'pre-order' option which is strange considering how long the z3tc has been out) and don't really want to pay ~$50 for the official Sony case. I've had a poetic slimline case on my N7 and really liked it, especially because it was ~$20.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] Levistras:
I have this case for my Z3 Tablet Compact: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/for-...-Z3-Tablet-Compact-free-1set/32243659269.html (in green)

Quality-wise I find it identical to the Poetic slim case I have for my Nexus 7 2013. In fact I went looking for a poetic logo on it when I thought to post about it then remembered I bought it from aliexpress.

It's cheap, feels like quality, fits device well and isn't falling apart, I like it, I'm no longer looking for a new one.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omnimater:
So here is the low down:

I got an M7 from a friend when he said it didn't work i said idc, i'll fix it.

Here are the symptoms: No charge light

No booting

No response upon power + volume down to get to bootloader

USB plugin to my computer causes it to recognize the device as in Attachment 1.

The computer does not auto-install drivers upon plugin as it should and when i manually attempted to install drivers, it doesn't recognize that they are compatible with the One.

So, pointers on where to go from here? Diagnosis? More details needed?

Overall, HELP

[Moto 360] pghn:
After the latest update (5.0.1 LWX48P) the watch faces don't center on screen. There's a little space on top and looks like the watch has been pulled down...

Anyone noticed this?
[Moto 360] TheGoD:
Same problem here, altough Facer and Watchmaker don't seem to be affected. What languages do u use on your watch and your phone, there was a language related bug on the previous Wear version. I use German on both.
[Moto 360] pghn:
Reset fix

Well it seems that a reset on the moto360 fixes that... Mine it's OK now.

I've faced the issue with both Portuguese and English.
[Moto 360] iTroy187:
I'm having the same problem with German language. After changing the language to English and rebooting the Moto, it is centered. Problem reappears after changing the language back and rebooting. Reset only fixes it until the first reboot...
[Moto 360] TheGoD:
Exactly the same behavior here.
[Moto 360] mitico303:
Same problem here.. Really annoying..

I use Italian language and I never had this problem before.. Tried to perform a reset, but after the first reboot the issue reappeared.. So, I've tried to uninstall all the wear apps on my phone, reset the watch and reinstall only android wear and Motorola connect app. But unsuccessfully.

Only a new update can fix it, I guess..
[Moto 360] mattia.adducchio:
Helllo everyone,

I have the same problem in Italian language.

I noticed that with the face "Semplice" (maybe "Simple" in English), there isn't this problem, but the moto360 is very ugly :).

I hope that Motorola will solve the problem in the shortest time possible.

[Moto 360] caiokv:
Try changing the language to English and resetting the watch. It worked for me! I will keep mine in English until they solve this issue!
[Moto 360] LordBass:
Ok guys, try this out (it worked when the UI bugged after the first and following reboots, making it look like a square watch):

reset de watch

select your language

on the "Install android wear on your phone" screen, go to the configurations via the physical button and reboot

select your language again and pair the device

After it's all synced again try rebooting the device to see if the problem is solved for good.
[Moto 360] mitico303:
have you tried to reboot the watch after the reset?
[Moto 360] mitico303:
IT WORKS!! don't know if it's only a coincidence or not, but with your suggestion now it's all fine! very strange!!

I hope this could be the "solution" also for the other users with this issue!

THANK YOU!
[Moto 360] LordBass:
Great to know!

I've spent a whole day breaking my head on this when my moto360 was giving me a square UI on the first/second day of use. I've only reseted once and twice after it and it's always worked. Someone should make this solution a sticky somewhere.

Anyone know why SuperSU is already installed on my Moto X PE? Came from the factory like that.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Sounds like you got sent a refurb/used phone. I'd call Motorola.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sivarticus85:
From Motomaker? Sounds fishy. I added a screenshot so you can see it. It doesn't appear in the app drawer, only as a system app, so it's not really rooted. Just the app is installed.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
People do send back motomaker phones... What do you think motorola does with them? Again, I'd call them. SuperSU most definitely should not be preinstalled.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Sells them as refurbs, since you can't (legally) sell a phone as new if it's been in the hands of an end user.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowBeer:
I think the app auto installed when you logged into your google account.

Don't forget Motorola is a Chinese company now, and there is no illegal thing there. Everything is legal.:laugh:
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanRyb:
Did it come with Kit Kat or Lollipop out of the box? I got mine yesterday and it was still Kit Kat and a friend got his Monday, also Kit Kat. Both MotoMaker Pure Editions.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sivarticus85:
It came with KitKat out of the box. It also auto update itself after a factory reset. I don't care that it's there, I just thought it was strange. I went ahead and rooted it anyway, so it doesn't matter anymore.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elusive-one:
I agree. I factory reset my device and SuperSU pro was installed from the play store during app refresh on a non rooted phone.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dobbs3x:
+1
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
But he said it was installed as a system app, so it couldn't have come from the play store.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
The place where he posted the screenshot from does not just show system apps. OP, are you able to uninstall the app through Settings -> Apps? That would tell you if it was installed as a system app or not.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sivarticus85:
No I was not. The uninstall option was not available. That's how I knew it was a system app.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Well, my concern then would be what someone could have done with root access. In theory they could have installed other applications, like potentially a keylogger.

I personally would get a replacement if my phone was really rooted when I received it.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sivarticus85:
I never said it was rooted, only that SuperSU was already installed. Anyone can install SuperSU from the Play Store, but it's useless without the SuperSU binary that goes along with it. I just thought it was an intersting find.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Not as a system app they can't. The phone either had to have been rooted at some point or it was flashed from a custom recovery. You can't install an app from the play store as a system app without root.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Right, this is what I meant. If it's installed as a system app then it is clear evidence that someone modified the system partition on your phone. That would concern me, personally.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sivarticus85:
Oh yeah good point... I hadn't thought about that. Now I am worried. I did perform a full reset, perhaps I should do a system wipe and reflash the stock img?

Yeah... it hadn't bothered me until this point. I'll be contacting Motorola today. Might be moot now since I'm legitimately rooted and unlocked, but I do still have a warranty.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
If you plan on keeping the phone, then a full system wipe and reflash is DEFINITELY recommended.
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hi. I've looked through a couple of threads and none seemed to help me. I'm trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos (GT-19082) so that I can install Android Version 5.0

My phone is currently running android version 4.2.2 (stock) and I cannot update it any further unless I root it. My USB port is broken so that means I can't connect it to my PC to access the files, but I can still charge it through an adapter into the wall. Is there anyway I can root my phone without the use of a USB cable? Thanks in advance!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nerdmom3:
Please bare with me, I'm trying to think of every possible detail for anyone to help me with this....

My brother gave me his Note 2 to "fix" because it was stuck in a boot loop and would randomly freeze. It was 100% stock, unrooted and less than a year old. The problem started when the phone auto-updated to 4.4.2. After investigating and tinkering around, I got it out of the boot loop (I just wiped the cache). Upon reboot, the phone would function normally for up to 90 seconds (approx) then freeze. The only way to unfreeze was to battery pull, holding the power button down didn't work. After repeating the reboot process several times I realized that each time it attempted to do a system update. I looked for a way to disable the auto-update feature and was unable to find it.

My next thought went to rooting and flashing a custom ROM. After all, if the problem was with the stock, flashing would fix that. I have rooted, installed philz recovery and flashed the Alliance ROM. I wiped all cache and booted her up. To my dismay, it's still freezing. I've gotten past the boot screen and am now freezing in different places on the "android is upgrading" screen. Each freeze causes me to have to battery pull and start over.

I am out of ideas. I would like to be able to fix this phone and put service on it. Thank you in advance for all help!

-Amy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Make sure you are using philz recovery (6.07.9 recommended). You will need to wipe the internal sdcard. Go under mounts option and select wipe /data /data/media option then go to reboot menu and reboot recovery. Now install rom and see how if that works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nerdmom3:
Thank you!

I wiped the internal SD. That enabled me to format the phone then install the Liquid Smooth ROM. So far so good. It's been 48 hours with no problems.

Thanks again for your help!

[Sprint LG G2] DrXdaOBGYN:
So the G2 sucks in the fact the Digitizer and LCD tend to go together but not necessarily at the same time. If you crack the glass the LCD 9 times out of 10 will slowly fail. Speaking from multiple experiences. ?

[Galaxy Tab S General] foxmeister:
I do wish people would actually learn about RAM and why free RAM is actually wasted RAM.

A good summary can be found here: http://m.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care
[Galaxy Tab S General] barth2:
Yeah but otoh caching boat load of stuff into ram that won't be used is a waste of battery.

I look at the list of running processes with a system monitor and I have to say WTF does it just load every thing or what. It's running apps I don't even use any more but haven't uninstalled just in case. So if I don't want them running I have to freeze them. And that does not include all the system processes whose purpose I can't even tell. It's kind of nuts.
[Galaxy Tab S General] TheGoD:
Sorry but you should start to learn yourself. The RAM displayed as free is actually used as a file cache. Besides, Android killing apps in the background means that it takes longer to start a new app in a low RAM situation (because the new app needs to wait until the LMK cleared enough space) and of course you lose the context of the closed app (it needs to reload data from the internal storage or even worse from the web when you restart it).
[Galaxy Tab S General] foxmeister:
Are you in a low RAM situation when you have 1GB free out of 3GB? NO! 0.5GB out of 3GB? NO!

Does it take a significant amount if time to reclaim resources when android does require additional RAM, because it genuinely is in a low RAM situation? No, because it unceremoniously terminates unused processes, releasing resources to the kernel almost immediately. This is very different from garbage collection to release unused memory from active processes.

Don't just believe me though - take it from the people who actually wrote the OS - http://android-developers.blogspot.de/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html?m=1

It's also worth saying that you've also validated my statement "Free RAM is wasted RAM" by saying that the OS "uses" free RAM as a file cache.

All that being said, the context of this entire thread is why the OS is "using" 1.5GB out of 3GB pretty much at boot. All I've said is why this is perfectly normal, and in the general usage case, actually not undesirable.

Of couse there will be specific usage cases, where this is not going to be the optimum approach, but this is only going to affect a very small minority of users, with extremely memory demanding applications.
[Galaxy Tab S General] GeorgeP:
No. RAM impact on battery life is, for all practical purposes, insensitive to the amount of RAM being used. When sections of RAM are clear, the locations are not zeroed out or anything. Instead the space is just added to a free space table. Stuff in RAM not being used does not waste battery. The exception to this is if that RAM is being occupied by a misbehaving program that is driving CPU usage.

Foxmeister is exactly right. In nearly all real world cases, higher RAM usage leads to faster performance and better battery life.
[Galaxy Tab S General] barth2:
No, but you still have to get the data into RAM. That takes power, which it is wasted if the data is never used.
[Galaxy Tab S General] foxmeister:
It's a trade off - preload the processes and data so that they can be accessed far more quickly (less lag) if and when required. Once in memory, if they are not being used the battery drain is negligible.

The reduction in perceived lag is *far* greater than any battery drain.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab S General] GeorgeP:
LOL! Now are in angels dancing on a the head of a pin territory:laugh:
[Galaxy Tab S General] barth2:
Lag is mostly a function of user expectation.

When you open a new app that is not running, you expect a delay. So as long as it's not excessively long, you don't feel lag. unnecessary preloading then just increases bootup time and long boot up time DOES bother people.

Now it makes sense to preload frequently used apps and some system apps that have high probability of being needed. But what I was talking about is seeing apps I used once once weeks ago still get loaded, while some apps I use every session, like my browser, not loaded on start up. The algorithm needs tweaking.

(Large apps like games have long load time, but you are not going to cache those so they are not in the conversation.)

Most lags people experience is in app lag. It's mostly due to loading graphics onto the screen, screen painting, and garbage collection.

What baffles me is I have an iPad 3 (there have been 4 generations of iPads since then) , which on paper is like a Toyota Camry compared to the Tab S BMW 300. And yet on many same apps the iPad feels smoother, scrolling around is less jerky. The only place where the Tab S is superior is 3d games like asphalt with high details and because it has 3x memory, apps need reloading less.
[Galaxy Tab S General] foxmeister:
The vast majority of users (i.e. the sort of user who doesn't frequent sites like XDA) probably don't reboot their tablets/phones very often at all, so most people probably aren't that bothered.

I rather suspect that the engineers at Google have experimented with an awful lot of different strategies, before settling on what we have now.

Is it perfect? No. Like everything software related, it could do with improvement but this is always a continuous, on going process

Dave

We only have 2K screen... 2560x1600... if you download your videos in 2560x1440 they work flawless... 4K video will give you stutter no matter which player you use on this device... I've tried a bunch of them.
[Galaxy Tab S General] eastpac:
I tried playing a few 4k videos on my SM-T800 galaxy tab s 10.5 (exynos) and for every file it stutters.

I've tried MX player - but it defaults to S/W decoding since H/W decoding isn't supported. Even though the format is H/W supported (H264), it just doesn't allow H/W decoding at these resolutions.

BS Player defaults to S/W too, as it shows 'S/W' when it displays the player properties.

Is there no current solution? Do we just sit and wait for H/W support to be enabled in the near future - or is it just too hardware intensive on the Exynos that no one will bother.
