[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldendye:
I don't own one yet, but I have had an eye on it waiting for it to drop some price, but just as I was about to buy one, I suddenly check the comments on gsmarena, and bang, Z3c cracking all over the net! I have saved money for a long time to buy a phone that will satisfy me for years, but if I have to treat it like a thin glass which may suddenly break without any known reason, it will be years of frustration and stress, not satisfaction.

I have a Galaxy Wonder which I totally HATE, terrible performance, literally driving me crazy, but at least i don't have to worry about it suddenly breaking. I mean I understand mobiles should be treated with care, but at the same time manufacturers tend to build their phone in a way that makes it hard to accidentally break.

I am not sure I am going to buy this, but I thought I post here hoping for smth to change my mind because I totally love this phone and want it so bad!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stylis10:
I think you have to keep in mind here that those peoples devices that do crack will most likely post about it. Those whose screens have not cracked are not going to be posting, "yup, my screen hasn't cracked yet". In this sense there will be lots of negative comments about the screen because those that have experienced it will post about it.

Personally, I have dropped my phone naked on my marble floor and the most that has happened is the paint on the rounding has chipped a tiny bit. My glass is perfectly fine at the moment, I have no complaints.

I do now keep a case on it, but I am very tempted to make my own case (there isnt one out there that I like) that just covers the corners and has a skin on the back.

The phone is excellent! My only gripe is lack of root, but that will lessen when Android 5.0 (lollipop) comes out because it will sort out the ext-sd card limitations I am currently facing.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliebigpot:
*knock on wood*

- dropped mine three times --> not a single scratch

- waterproof --> yes, I've tried it several times

- flaps open randomly --> nope, they are super solid and sealed

- screen cracks --> nope, and I carry it always in my pockets, sometimes I've even sat on it (silly me)

Only vulnerability that I see is that the back is quite slippery, but you can always get a cover for that.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldendye:
Haha laughed a lot reading these comments, specially those who apologized for disappointing me by not cracking their phone :D. Apart from user feedback, there isn't much from official websites like gsmarena or Sony itself on this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlipChip:
Well, I would not advise you to let it fall to try ^^ and I don't believe in self cracking phones, I'll believe it if it happens with my own one, which I'm am super careful with

But the phone is absolutely amazing !! I knew the "risk" and still bought it, I advise you to do the same

I had once a similar affair with a computer which had a design failure with the hinges, the screw threads were molded in the screen cover, with the torque required to open the lid, it was a sure recipe for a disaster, but at least it was something easy to repair yourself, compared to this phone. Yeah, I have no idea what could cause this phone to break, it doesn't get hot, it has top notch glass and the screen isn't a mechanical piece under heavy load ... Could something be reactive and releasing gases in the IP68 sealed phone ? No idea

I dropped mine once onto Spanish tile and it didn't break. Second time I wasn't so lucky. But it was also my fault - it fell onto a rock with a jagged point. I would have been blown away if it survived it. Even with my experience, I'd vouch for the phone's durability - so much so that I bought ANOTHER one happily :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FranzDages:
I've had mine for a couple of months now. I put a skinomi skin on the back soon after I got it, so I can't be positive that it hasn't cracked. However, I don't think it has. A couple of not-to-bad falls, and the front screen is still intact. The pressure test is also still good, so I don't think the back is compromised.

One week and counting. Sat on it a couple of times. Nothing is cracked yet.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipspeak:
Every glass-backed phone has always been accompanied by reports of spontaneous cracking. Nothing new there. I've dropped my phone a few times (albeit with a case on) and it's unscathed. I also dropped my Nexus 4 many, many times without breaking it, and the N4 was also plagued with screen cracking complaints when it was released.

If I refused to buy something because of negative comments on forums then my life would be devoid of any gadgets (and I'd be much richer!)

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Endroyed:
Hi everyone, I have a problem with my phone.

It is no longer booting into the OS, instead it boots into the recovery mode.

So here's what happened. I was on Google Play Store looking for some utility apps, and found this "[ROOT] Rashr" app, read its details and got interested in it since I also do wanna try to back up my CWM Recovery. I don't even completely understand what it means, but as what the apps says, I really thought that with it,

backing up my recovery

will be very easy, just like how ROM is backed up when you do a NANDroid backup. So, after it was installed, I head on to its Back-Up section, ticked the box for "Recovery", and tapped on "Go", expecting that it would work. It said "Rebooting..." and booted to recovery mode, so I thought that I had to complete the "Recovery Back-Up" inside CWM, so I spent time looking through the options. And, this is where I discovered that CWM has a rainbow color mode. :)When I found out that no signs of back up could be done in CWM, I rebooted from within CWM. BUT, it still booted to Recovery Mode.

I tried . . .

Odin, but since it boots only to recovery, Odin isn't detecting it.

Wiped the data, cache partition, and Dalvik cache. Then restore.

Can this be fixed? I badly need help.

I have:

CWM Recovery v6.0.3.6 (used when I rooted the phone), updated to v6.0.4.5 (current)

Stock ROM 4.1.2

Recent NANDroid Backup

Any inputs will be very much appreciated. Thanks.

No intention of giving the "Rashr" app a bad name. I just didn't know how to use it.

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Endroyed:
Cheers!

I never thought the solution would be that simple. Hehe Thanks manoj. :good:

Finally fixed it!

What I did:

1) Flashed the stock Recovery. I was surprised it was able to boot to Android cause I was thinking that the zip is only the stock recovery. It had errors though. Home Screen won't appear or load.

2) When rebooted, it got stuck in SAMSUNG boot animation, but it was all good cause Odin was still able to detect it which means it can still be rooted. So . . .

3) Flashed CWM Recovery v6.0.3.6

3) Wiped data, cache partition, and Dalvik cache.

4) Restored the backup.

Hi,

I accidently dropped my lg g3 in watter. I put it in a bowl of rice and i left it there for +24h. I took it out today and I turned it on. Everything was Ok. But then it was gettin hotter and speakers started to make noises. I turned it of and put it back in rice. Could these be serious problem?

Hi there,

Could be or not. You should go to some service center to clean from residual water with special solutions for that because in time you will have other problems from that reason.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppcinj:
Hello Community,

I've installed Slimkat 4.4.4 Build 8 some time ago. Now I've wanted to go back to Sense Roms. But now, when I go to the recovery and try to flash a new ROM (after Factory Reset of course) i will be stuck while booting with the HTC-Logo and the red text. But when reflashing the same SlimKat, my phone works just fine after flashing...

I would be very happy, if somebody could help me out of this situation, so I can go back to an Sense ROM.

Greetings,

Michael
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Are you sure you gave the sense rom enough time? It can take a very long time for first boot sometimes.

Also, what firmware version are you on (according to bootloader screen, not what Android says)....
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppcinj:
Yes, i think I gave enought time. (10 minutes should be enough?)

My firmware version according to bootloader is 3.16.0.0000

Could take longer definitely. Let it sit a half hour before giving up.

And what OS version does bootloader report...?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonypass:
I have a retail Verizon Note 3 MJE with Android 4.3, that I'd like to take back to factory stock.

It was rooted for a time with Kingo, but I never installed safestrap or installed another ROM.

I've removed root using Kingo, but when I try to take the OTA 4.4 upgrade it fails.

Also performed a factory reset and downloaded the OTA again, but it starts to install and fails.

Some files were renamed to try and keep the upgrade messages from appearing, but they were all renamed back prior to removing root.

How can I get this Note 3 back to stock and take the OTA 4.4 upgrade?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] WorldOfJohnboy:
So, just trying to make sure I'm ok, but I have a Verizon P605v 2014 Tablet. It is rooted running Stock 4.4.2 and stock recovery (I think).

My questions:

Can I install a custom recovery? (CWM or TWRP or either)

Are the custom ROMs in the Dev section of the site compatible with the 605v, or do I just have to ask/read about it in the thread?

Thanks in advance, the Dev sections are very tricky to navigate when it comes to the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition since there are so many models and no differentiation between them. (For example, HTC One M8 variants all get their own Forum section--not so with the Note 2014.)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] KwestJones:
The boot loader on the 605v is locked. That means that until a dev puts in the time to get it unlocked them you can't install a custom recovery. Without the custom recovery you can't install a custom ROM. no such attempts have been made to unlock AFAIK.

F.A.Q.

Full wipe or dirty flash?

I explain...first the updater-script makes a backup of the gapps, then it automatically installs: rom, gapps and supersu...so, if you already are on boostpop you can simply flash the .zip. Indeed, If you format system before the flash you need to install gapps beacuse the script has nothing to backup in your system partition. At the end, you can always flash over previous boost if the dev don't specify.

Can you add this feature?

I don't answer to feature request...I am not ignoring it but don't pretend that I merge the feat you like, thanks

What about the kernel?

Kernel is based on SaberMod kernel, an hyper-optimized kernel...Don't ask for hard modded kernel, I m not going to add any kind of feat. Flash the kernel you like.

I found this bug, can you solve?

Please when you find some kind of bug report all the steps you made and/or attach a logcat. Is important that the developer is able to reproduce it. Also remember this (true in general):

system FC --> Rom, reboot --> kernel, user apps --> we need to investigate :)

Sometimes I have no service and sometime I have problems on switching from WiFi to 3G

This problem has nothing to do with the Rom. Check your Access Point under Network Prefereces

What about Heads-Up ??

No modifications here.... BoostPop uses stock integration

Are you adding theme manager?

No way. BoostPop dosen't support theme manager.

What is bitSyko project?

You can find all the informations you need here. And the G+ community here. This apps allows the runtime package overlay.

Why USB tethering is not working on my Mac?

Is a well not problem of compatibility between mac and android. To work, you need to install horndis, by your own risk, on your mac and use your phone with the PTP protocol by setting Camera instead of Media Device

Can you add a better audiofx app?

No...I am not adding third part apps by default...Install the audio manger you prefer...One of the most famous is Viper4Android or CM Audio FX

Hi guys, new release here.

This is a small update. I was very busy. Works very well, is always a boost rom :cool:

BoostPop -2014-12-24

CHANGELOG

Short List

* synced with AOSP 5.0.2_r1
* revert Dialer Lookup
* revert Speed Dialer
* battery percentage inside and outside icon
* QS: data tiles mod
* QS: 3 rows
* Bionic optimizations
* Binaries update
* Settings: some fixes

Note

Dialer changes

. Dialer lookup works only in US because is the unique country with the accessible providers for reverse lookup. If you need to search a place you can use GOOGLE ;). Speed Dialer is think is useless on new phones. Native dialer already has this function with special contacs.

Battery led

works only on kernel with led always on. I will fix it on the next, btw I very sure that you like to use some custom kernels ;). And, I will update full changelog :angel:
