[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] syncopath:
I installed Total Commander, with thanks to Rudegar, and to Lumpistefan for being able to use his site as a hop. It's certainly a better tool for file management, but I'm not yet able to delete files I want to.

Roaring guitar.wav is a sound I particularly hate, and a colleague at work is already using it as his ringtone. Therefore there is no way I want to keep that ringtone in RAM. Total Commander lets me see the attributes, which are Read only, System (and in ROM, grey of course). It seems as if I can "greytick" and untick Read only and System, but when I come back to the file these attributes are there again. If I try to delete Roaring guitar.wav using Total Commander I get the message "Warning! Could not delete 1 file(s)!".

As I said, all this has a very "not local administrator" feel to it.

I tried searching the registry for "roaring" but the string was not found. I also cautiously experimented with switching the values of the following keys between 0 and 1:

HKLM\ControlPanel\AdminPassword\Group

HKLM\ControlPanel\Password\Group

but neither had any discernible effect on the behaviour described. Of course Roaring guitar.wav is just an example (and no offence meant to my colleague), I would like to remove a number of sounds and wallpapers I'll never use, and free up some more of my poor Wallaby's hard-pressed 32 MB RAM for everyday use.

Does anyone know how I could do it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] levenum:
Hate to tell you this, but if TC says the file is in ROM, its in ROM and you can not delete it.

I am not familiar with Wallaby in particular but I guess the file your are attacking is not copied in to RAM. No reason to do so.

Windows Mobile was never designed for multiple users so no 'local / remote' administrator and stuff. Just trust me when I say this, if you can't delete it - it is in ROM.

There are two programs I can recommend:

MemMaid - it will show you exactly what is clogging up your RAM and automatically clean out what it can.

CabInstl - this little free app will let you choose where to install programs so you can put most of your apps on the SD.

Also in ActiveSync, when asked if to install to default location select 'NO' and you will get an option to install to SD.

One more hint:

You can keep all your themes, including the one you are currently using on the SD. Once you selected and installed the theme the *.tsk file is no longer needed.

When my iPaq was my only and primary PPC I also struggled with 32MB RAM (total). I kept everything on my trusty 512MB SunDisk except what I needed on startup.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrideOfElites:
Hello guyz,

I'm thinking of purchasing Nexus 6 soon but the one thing that is bothering me is its size. I've never seen or tried Nexus 6 in real life. I saw various review videos about it by Android Authority and many more sites and it seemed like I can handle it. But I am very shocked after seeing a pic in which Nexus 6 is placed side by side with Nexus 5. It was very large :crying:

Actually the problem is that even Nexus 5 doesn't fits in my pocket properly as I'm very skinny so how will I manage Nexus 6 :(

I badly wanna buy it :eek: What are your opinions? :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I think it could be bigger but 5.96" is a large enough screen for now. I had a Note 3 then a G3 and now this (for large screen phones) and I think its easily manageable. You will get used to the size in a week or so and love it. It may look big, but once you have a big phone there's no going back. My G3 felt like a child's toy for a while and it did again when I got my Nexus. I usually carry my in my hand or cost pocket if it's cold enough. It fits in my jeans pocket but then again I don't wear skinny jeans and I'm 5'9" if that matters. I would give it s try (you usually get 2 weeks to return it) so the worst that can happen is you don't like the phone.

Once you get a phablet you'll never need a tablet
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtherrell:
Seemed big at first but now everything else seems way too small. Made me appreciate PIE, though. Thought it could render my Nexus 7 obsolete but it's not big enough for that.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrideOfElites:
Thanks [MENTION=5581268]Pilz[/MENTION] for sharing your experience. I really like the phone so much I swear. Even I can't stop dreaming about me holding Nexus 6 in right hand and all my friends behind me ready for a selfie lol :p

I would have brought it yet but just waiting for my payments.

Thanks again :)

[MENTION=1452278]wtherrell[/MENTION] Thanks for sharing your experience. I really appreciate it. Now I can happily buy and enjoy my new Nexus device :D
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAmazingDave:
Have you handled a Nexus 7? If so, here's a comparison that might make more sense for you.

In reality, yes it's big, but not unwieldy. My Nexus 7 always went with me in my pocket, so of course, I don't have a problem with toting around the N6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashTestDroid:
If you're used to a Note or 1+1 then it's fine. Feels almost the same as a OPO in my hand and it's only a few mm wider kinds like the first Note.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
Its quite easy to hold much like my old Nexus 7. I got rid of my Nexus 7 because I don't use it anyone and I didn't use my Nexus 9 as much either. I won a Nexus 9 but I'm still waiting for it to arrive and I may keep this one. What I'm getting it is the Nexus 6 is great and while it may not replace a tablet for everyone it made it easier for me to say good bye to my Nexus 7.

Here is a pic of the Nexus 6 next to my wife's Moto X 2014 (that was my first Nexus 6 with a matte black dbrand skin)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oak:
I love the size. Only time I don't like it is when it's in my front pocket and I am in a squat position, such as tying shoes. The phone feels constrained at that point. I could never go back to a smaller phone now.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordGrahf:
I never felt that any of these phablets are too big to handle or to place in pockets. I used to carry my nexus7 with me all the time in my back pockets. I have medium-sized hands myself and yes I can't type without using both hands, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make to get a beautiful big screen like this one. I really wish it was bigger tbh, a 6.3-6.5inch display would've been ideal for me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonebeatz1234:
Feels smaller than what it is. You will love it the g3 was to small for me and the note 3 was boring to me and small . Finally found a phone that fits my hands. I can reach across the screen with my thumb with no problems
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
When I first saw the specs I thought, "wow, WAY to big to ever consider it." Then, I felt one in the store and thought, "man this thing is huge, but I kind of like it." Then, I bit the bullet and bought it. Within a week, I fell in love with it and think it's the perfect size. When I pickup smaller phones now they just seem way to tiny. I don't think I could go to a smaller phone after having this.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahst68:
Better than A iPhone 6 Plus

Had the iPhone 6 Plus when it first came out and absolutely from a phone design standpoint love my Nexus 6 much better beside being Android of course. iPhone 6 and 6 Plus seemed off weighed to the top of the phone, plus of course there's the whole bendgate thing with the plus's.... the Nexus 6 even though it can bind up in say jeans front pockets, it is sturdy enough to not bend... it feels conformed to the hand better as well. To use comfortably though it is definitely a 2-handed phone... not saying you couldn't one hand it for simple stuff but definitely take 2 hands to get full functionality. As for as the screen size, it is killer... I have to use a iPhone 6 for work and its like looking at houses from an airplane compared to my Nexus... I say get it... try it, you don't like... you can easily still sell and recoup all your money back... :good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrideOfElites:
Omg thanks!! :d

Thanks a lot [MENTION=4141490]TheAmazingDave[/MENTION] for posting this comparison image. Yep I handled Nexus 7 once and it was like I could handle it. I was not able to put it in my pocket though. Nexus 6 is really smaller than Nexus 7 then imma buy it asap yay!!! :D
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrideOfElites:
[MENTION=5581268]Pilz[/MENTION] looks like your whole family loves Nexus and Moto devices lol jk :p

Well after seeing this pic I'm really satisfied and can peacefully buy a Nexus 6. Thanks for posting the pics :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrideOfElites:
WOW

Thanks [MENTION=2897743]mahst68[/MENTION]. Well my hands are of medium size so I think chatting with one hand under the table in the college while the teacher is giving lecture won't be possible with Nexus 6 XD :p. I was also wondering what if N6 gets bend if I put it in my front jeans pocket because I'm very skinny so as my jeans lol. My current device Xperia L also feels constraint that is very smaller in comparison to N6. But I'm glad after knowing that N6 is not that weak like Apple's so called beast lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
I've had my N6 since Dec 23, and to be honest, I'm still not used to the size. It is indeed large. Personally, something in between the N5 and N6 size-wise would be ideal for me, but oh well.

Because it's so large, they placed the power and volume buttons closer to the middle, so I find myself accidentally clicking them.

As well, because it's so large, it doesn't feel as balanced weight-wise as previous devices I've owned.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
N5 was too big for me. N6 is way too big for me. I'm not going to let that stop me though :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dparrothead1:
I came from the Mega 6.3, so the N6 is actually smaller!???
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
Nexus 6 is too small for my liking. 5.96" screen should be more like 6.5" screen.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letom:
You do get used to the size though I say this took me about 2 weeks, within these first few weeks I seriously did consider taking it back, now I really do like the size.

Contrary to what people say, I even said it in the first few weeks, you can totally use this phone one handed for 80% of things.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aewig:
I have the Nexus 6 and my wife has the G3. I came from an S3.

Having used the N6 for a few months now, I think I would have preferred the 5.5" screen of the G3 instead of 5.96". Anything smaller than the G3's screen feels like a kids toy.

Anyway, it's not horrible and it still fits in my pocket but it's slightly uncomfortable to hold one handed for a significant period of time. At least it has informed me for future smartphone purchases.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str1ker0ne:
Its a gamble that Google has played. Anyways after using it for a week or 2 you will get used to it .
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Worst thing for me is messenger. I hope the phone left handed and can't reach the (+) button in the bottom-left corner.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str1ker0ne:
Never considered that lol !
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Call me a freak or something, but I'm actually finding the whale to be EASIER to operate one-handed than my last phone, which was 4". I think that its the extra weight making it stick into my hand better.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I've got pretty little hands. I came from nexus 5. To be honest, I've got a whole flip-to-reach method down for top-r

ight as I've been doing that since my S3... But not reaching bottom-right is new for me and I haven't got a method for that get :)

I can almost reach without flipping but I think too much digitiser surface is affected to accurately touch anything there. delete and enter on my keyboard JUST about but that messenger new message button is an absolute pain!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanhuto:
Hi guys, i guess the title especifies what happened, haha. Well, my xperia Z felt down in water with the fone jack open, water got all inside it. I turned it off, and then i sleept, well, i wake, he was on, the funny thing is that the alarm was working, but first i had problems to stop it, since touch wasnt working neither the buttons. Seconds after, its screen turned black, and it just vibrate, then, hours after he went down, since that, whenever i turn it on, he just blink the red led three times, and nothing.

What you guys think it is?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DastanShaikh:
When the red led blinks it would be a softbrick...But as you said you have water damaged ur phone..., this is a hardware issue.... So kindly get it repaired from a service center before it's totally dead... :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mobe1969:
Mine is totally dead. I rode home (pushbike) in an absolute downpour last night, and although the flaps were all closed, it got filled with water and won't even power on.

Inspecting it with a magnifying glass it looks like the USB flap rubber is broken.

I really do hate the poor design of the flaps on the XZ. I am glad they redesigned them later.

My question is, is it worth (as a handy person) opening it up, drying everything out, or is it likely something would have physically died/burnt out?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DastanShaikh:
It's not a bad design of usb flaps trust me...just see the design of Samsung waterproof phone s...that's called bad design...

Every material has limitations.. So if you use flaps the more..it loses its tightness or quality... That's why Sony offer a Dock for charging... So the Waterproofness remains maintain...

But now sony has changed its design.. In Xperia m4 aqua... There's no flap on charging.. And it's still waterproof.... SO NO NEED TO BUY dock....

Well for ur question u must give a try to open the phone nd dry it with hair dryer.. .if water doesn't damage any circuit it may wake up.... For opening phone hot air gun is used..

If you can't do it urself..give it to a professional or service centre...

Hope this helps... :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mobe1969:
Thanks. No, it was unrecoverable by me...

I did get a Z3. The flaps are so much better designed than the original z I find. The fact the pull straight out and can rotate.

I definitely agree having the USB charge port just waterproof is a great idea. I am glad at least the headphone port is now on the Z3. I remember in this forum or another when the z came out I was saying how easy it would be to make a headphone port waterproof. Just a solid piece of plastic injection moulded around the pin contacts. Same would apply to the micro usb too I guess.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DastanShaikh:
Yes...same technology of sound port...But it's great.. Idea..to have waterproof charge port.. Cause it have to send the power... Not only the data..

it is a great improvement over previous one... HOPE Sony will do same thing.. In all new waterproof devices

Hi! I have a Xperia Z on the rom by Rajeev and Hodor kernel with Drm keys mod, unlocked bootloader c6603. I had my phone with 1% batery, i arrive home and the phone was turned off, i holded the power button and red led blinks(this is normal when you have your phone fully discharged) i plugged into my computer fot 5 minutes nothing happened only red led stayed on. I unplug the phone the red led still there, after 5 minutes red led dissapeared. i plugged into the charger and noting happend only red led, i unplugged it and red led is still on. What can i do? adb fastboot not working and volume up +power the same. What is the problem, i'm a little bit scared. Sorry for my english. Thanks.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaurynasVP:
Did you left your phone whilst reinstalling any ROM or flashing anything?

I can suspect that you;ve bricked your device.

You can try to stick POWER BUTTON + VOL. rocker and leave it for entire night. I have read that some had fixed this issue by the way which I'm writing now, but I'm not sure if it will work to you.

You can even leave your phone connected to charger for some while.

If it will not work either - I have seen some where in this forum thread in which were specified how to unbrick XZ with disassemblying it
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 115dan:
I managed to get it running now wi fi mobile data doesn't work, and power button works to lock the screen but doesn't work to wake. I'm flashing .292 via flashtool, i hope all my problems will be solved. Before they worked very well.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gona80:
Hi

I have a problem with my new S5.

For my S3 i created a USB OTG+Charge cable. For this cable type a 68k resistor is soldered between the sense and GND pins of the USB port.

this cable is not recognized by the S5. When I keep the resistor open the charger is recognized.

When I short the resistor the USB harddisk is recognized.

I tried a resistor E6 decade to test variuos values. When I use 100k the cable is recognized as "power sharing cable".

Is anybody here using a USB OTG + Charge cable?

Where is the cable detection definied? Can I change it?

Best regards,
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Thulfiqar92:
any progress ?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Kiriakos-GR:
For my new S5 I have ordered one CY U2-166 cable.

Sellers listings talking about compatibility up to S4, and read even one user feedback that this worked for him.

When my cable arrives (eBay) I will test it, and if it works with S5, then I will post actual measurements regarding cable construction.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Thulfiqar92:
excellent, Thank you
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Kiriakos-GR:
You are welcome, but be aware that this cable comes with dual micro USB, plus one Female USB A for regular connectivity and powering external HDD.

Female USB A this is output.

Input power comes from your charger cable ( Mini USB connector).
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Kiriakos-GR:
Here are my experiences with OTG CY U2-166 cable.

1) My Galaxy S5 this is fully capable to deliver enough electrical power for USB stick, or even my external USB 2.0 HDD (WD 160GB)

2) External USB HDD this causing a minimum of 220mA of consumption up to 430mA at extreme activity.

3) When female micro USB this is also powered by external source (charging block), this become right away the main DC power source for the external HDD.

4) If incoming DC power from female micro USB this no more active? Then Galaxy S5 takes over right away by delivering power by it self.

In summary this additional female micro USB, this works in parallel with DC output of the phone.

Personally I am very happy from those results from a cable worth less than 2$.

But what caused me mixed feelings this is Android it self, this does not recognize several partitions over a single hard disk, even if them are formatted at 32GB/Fat 32.

I have a Galaxy Gear (1st gen) and it's still on Android.

Curious if I should stay on Android or move to the Tizen update? :confused:

I don't really plan to do much tinkering or hacking, but don't see much on rolling it back to Android if I don't like Tizen so thought I'd ask first.

TIA!

~poz
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] maskerwsk:
I updated mine and think its much better. I dont tinker much with the watch (i do with my phone) and generally just use the watch for its intended purpose.

Ive seen a thread with a working rollback to android. Although i think it takes abit of luck to make it work. Dont plan on rolling back though as i dont see the need.

I would suggest the update but thats just my opinion :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jay.Krause:
Like maskerwsk said. If you're not tinkering with it then I think Tizen is the way to go. I upgraded shortly after I got mine. The battery life is better. I hear the performance is better but I can't vouch for that, I didn't play with android enough. The app support is much better and the launcher is visually more appealing, if that sort of thing is important to you. I like to check out the available stock options and then I cant resist the urge to mess with it. I have successfully downgraded back to android with out to much trouble. I have a custom recovery installed. The next step is to get Null loaded on it. If you intend to use it for it's intended purpose then you probably wont regret upgrading to Tizen.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ducter:
Going back to android is easy, follow the thread and it's fine. I used tizen for the most part and everything worked fine for me using it on an lg g3 however I wasn't able to get gear manager working when I updated to lollipop on my g3 so back to null for me.

Null, when you set the cpu up properly easily last a full day, could probably get 2 days out of it if I don't play with it a lot. It's really a toss up. Try both and see what fits you better, or if non Samsung and lollipop, right now your only real option is android and with that no reason not to run null.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] xManMythLegend:
What's the video recording time limit on Tizen?

I get 3 days of battery on my Gear now because it's only for notification and occasional camera use.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Killerheels:
Performance is much better than Android. And no side loading either!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rabilancia:
15 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Santaclauswitz:
I love to tinker so it's null all the way for me! I look at tizen and I think no: zooper, tasker, popup widget, gmd gesture control etc etc etc it's my device and I enjoy seeing how far I can push it and also workaround things that frustrate me like not being able to reply to a notification on whatsapp. But it's each to their own. I hope you enjoy your device whatever path you choose to take
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasW:
It's a much better device on Tizen, with one critical exception, at least for me: the battery drain is horrible. On Android, I could still be in the low 90% range at the end of the day. On Tizen, it drains at an average rate of 7% an hour. Worse if I'm really active with it (video recording, etc.). It died mid-afternoon last week. I've reset the Gear and reinstalled Gear Manager, but no joy. I'd go back to Android but I like Tizen a lot more -- save for the drain.

Edit: This fix -- downgrading to the previous version of Gear Manager -- seems to have fixed the battery issue for me: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-gear/help/battery-dying-12-hours-t2887770.
