[Themer General Discussion] mocutzzz:
Hi. Can i use Themer if i don't have root or a custom ROM? :confused: I mean i install it but i can't get themes or do much and i really want themes or make one for my phone! :( Thanks!
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Hi!

Themer doesn't require a custom ROM, you don't even have to be rooted. What device do you use? If you have rooted your phone, make sure to set the DPI/resolution settings to default else Themer won't display the themes correctly.

[Themer General Discussion] mocutzzz:
Hi, i don't have rooted my phone and i have a Lg G2 mini!
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
The LG2 Mini is a device we're having problems with, hopefully within the next few updates those issues will be resolved.

Sorry about that!
[Themer General Discussion] mocutzzz:
No problem, i really hope that you guys resolved those issues. I really like themer and i want to use it! Good luck! :D

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corojo:
I have a big problem with my new Note 3 . I would like to be able to make a conference with two incoming calls. The option it gives me is just to swap in between calls not to merge the two incoming calls.

I need a serious and urgent help with this issue .

i am ready to flash and change the room if necessary. If i have to please let me know the ideal room.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
The below is from the Help App-> Owners Manual then search for "conference"

Use multi-party call features to set up a call between multiple callers, such as for a conference call.

Establish the first call by answering an incoming call or making a call.

Touch Add call. The first call is placed on hold.

Make the second call by touching the phone number digits, then press .

Touch Merge to merge the calls into one conference call.

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

The above works...I just tried it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KruseLudsMobile:
Yes but that is not with two incoming calls
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
So tell the 2nd person that you'll call them back.

Other alternative....call Samsung or Verizon and ask them.

My GUESS is when 2nd call rings, hit add call in the first convo and then answer 2nd call....then you may have a merge option.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KruseLudsMobile:
I have spoken with Verizon and also others on this forum as well about this. This is one strength that BlackBerry has that Android does not. The Android implementation/design for handling multiple phone calls is very poor. Only two calls can be handled at the same time. You can only merge calls if you have initiated both calls. If you have received either the first or second call, you can only switch between them. When you are able to merge calls you cannot switch between them and visa-versa. Also, when you have more than one call on the line, if you try to hang up then both calls are hung up upon. ONLY SOMETIMES when you hang up, the phone will ring and the call that was on hold will be reconnected when you answer. I had a blackberry for work and it allows you to add and remove (independently) different calls to the same conference. However, the android so often and in every other way, is so much better than blackberry, I still wouldn't convert over. :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
Actually....on the note 3...the first call can be incoming or outgoing. Not 100% sure but believe 2nd call may also be either.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KruseLudsMobile:
Your statement is unclear. You can only have two calls at once. If any of them are received calls, then you can only swap between them, never merge. If both are calls you have made, you can only merge them, not swap them.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
The "official" help instructions say the first call can be a received call OR a call you made. Hit the +Add button and call the 2nd number. Once answered..MERGE
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KruseLudsMobile:
Yes but the same button only shows MERGE or SWAP. In the scenario you just mentioned, how do you swap the calls instead? Or drop one of them, not both? The whole design for this is poor.

[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] MustangLife03:
The process to root the zte boost max on 4.4.2 is tough. It involves virtual machine called virtual box, ZTE unbrick tool, adb driver and Philz recovery. Theres a couple guys in the Android forums that have done great development for the Zte warp and zte boost max (the older not as powerful brother of the zmax) but there development is huge for us. Without them i would have never kept root going from 4.1.2 to kitkat and kept philz recovery. The development is slow and not sure if those guys are on this forum or not. Screen names are theminor19 and SuperR. I hope i havent broken any rules mentioning another forum if i have im sorry. SuperR developed deodexed custom rom for the ZTE Boost Max so he has the skjlls. I think the development is slow because these guys dont have the actual phone to work with.

KK 4.4.4

So just throwing this out there, but I bought my zmax today from the local metro store. My phone has 4.4.4 installed not 4.4.2. Not sure if you need to check for a OTA upgrade or what, but thought you might like to know:)

[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] Lightfeather:
I got mine last week from metro and it's also 4.4.4. I'm also willing to pony up $25 towards finding root. I love this phone but right now it's hobbled. Metro is selling them for $99 bucks. (After CA taxes it came to about $125 total).

Man, if a dev put up a kickstarter page about this they'd get funded quick. Money to buy the phone AND pay for their time rooting it. I'd participate!
[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] bhood:
Unfortunately, my Samsung Exhibit died on me. I've been trying to hold out for the ZMAX, but I've had to pull the trigger on another phone ("32GB LG G2 5.2 Quad-Core Android Unlocked Smartphone (D801, Black, T-mobile version) for $209.99").

However, I will continue to honor the bounty I've pledged here to help you guys get root on the ZMAX. I'll keep checking occasionally to see if it's happened.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archaenon:
I tried to search already and didn't find any threads that answered what's wrong with my note.

So I finally updated my note 3 and went and purchased the 4. Got it home, immediately noticed quite a few things.

1. Incredible lag in almost everything. (I turned off all the bloatware, s-voice, flipbook, etc..., also changed animations/new launcher)

- If I try to go to phone, it takes about 5 seconds to pull up and show the dialer.

- going back to homescreen takes about the same, sometime turns the screen off.

- scrolling is almost broken, it stops and stutters a lot. I've gotten some FC's from it.

- apps take awhile to launch, some I can understand, but the calculator shouldn't take that long.

- everything is just really slow. (I'm used to my note 3 and nexus 5 tbh)

2. It takes me almost 3 button presses to get the home screen to come on, when it does come on, takes about 3 seconds to appear.

3. proximity seems to be broken, it goes black while I'm looking at it, if I go to type, turns off and sends me to the lockscreen a lot.

4. Won't mount any of my sd cards ( I have various classes/speeds and sizes, none work, one is brand new out of the package)

5. After a restart, I have to wait at least 20 seconds to have everything load from the lock screen to the launcher.

6. Overheats a lot, while browsing it gets pretty heated up, I don't really play games on mine, it's worse when I run sketchbook on it.

So, a few things, I'm holding off on rooting, just in case I have to return it. I've disabled everything, I don't have many apps installed, I don't over-charge it, it's in a lightweight case, never been dropped, I've barely had it. It's not rooted, flashed anything, it's pure stock with nova launcher and it barely works without something happening.

So what do you suggest? A dud, go and return it? I can't seem to find a source to the issue, resetting to factory didn't fix anything, in fact it mae the lockscreen issue worse.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] malimt:
Hello guys, My XZU C6802 just got bricked today, in attempt to install Cyanogenmod.

I was rooted, I had dual recovery and I guess I installed CM10.2 because it was the most stable one out now, although, I didn't think and or realize that I can't go from a 4.4.4 to 4.3 on the 10.2..... I'm an idiot.

However, I've tried every method online to try and boot the phone up but it just won't turn on....

I've left it in charge for hours on end, 6-7 Hours and no point... Sony Support that I called told me to, Connect a wall charger to it, then at the same time hold power button and top volume button and if it vibrated 3 times that means the hardware is fine and the phone is responding.... in which mine did that and he told me to leave it in charge and to try and turn it on after a few hours.... but that didn't work either. It's connected to the charger but it's just blinking red LED light all the time constantly.

I can put it in boot loader mode only, by connecting the usb and holding VOLUP button at the same time as plugging in the usb.

I don't know what to do and I really need my phone, so I hope someone can help me!

I don't know if its gone now or if it's worth anything, should I sell it, keep it? I love the phone but if this is how it's going to be for a while or always at this point, Might as well try and sell it cheap and get another Samsung maybe.

I hope I don't have too. Please help guys!

Thank you XDA!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
Did you try flashing stock ftf? That should help.

Hold volume down button while plugging in the usb cable to your pc, the led might go green (if i remember right), meaning you booted into flashmode correctly,

then download the flashtool from the internet and ftf from the forum and flash it off.

You should have it working ;)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blinksilver:
If you can get to the bootloader then just fastboot flash the approprate(IE the offical version that was on your before you borked it. if I recall correctly its probably listed in the bootloader) kernel, fota, and system image files. I'm sure there is a thread here that has the files. As an aside if you can get to the bootloader, you are not bricked, you're fine man/woman, listen to The Eagles on this one.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Did you unlock the boot loader at all?

anyway to recover:

download flashtool (http://flashtool.net)

download a FTF (see FTF thread in dev section)

start flashtool

select flashmode

select FTF from above

select start/flash/etc (cant remember the wording)

wait for the graphic to say connect phone

Hold vol. down key while connecting phone - LED will flash (blue?) for about 1/2 a second then turn off

(if the above does't work press the red reset button beside the SD card slot and try again)

wait for flash to finish

disconnect phone

You could also try EMMA from Sony.

Worked ery well everytime I bricked mine ;)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] srdempster:
Download sony pc companion and install it. Goto update software and select & make sure your phone is off and plug it in while holding vol up or vol down to get it in flash mode. PC should recognise it after installing drivers and select the recovery option if given ( you might have to tell it to force an update or it might automatically do it). Sit or make a cuppa while waiting for it to download the sony rom. You wont re lock your bootloader just restore the sony rom. Once downloaded it should start the process, I've done it a few times and managed to recover it.

Thanks blueether. I used flashboot to unlock my boatload and then phones screen turned on and then I flashed FTF and it was complete reboot and I have my Stock back. Then loaded dual recovery again and restored my tarp backup of my complete phone. its working great thanks to you.

One question I have now, since I unlocked the boot loader and then re-installed stock, does this mean I have to unlock it again to be able to install Cyanogen or it permanently stays unlocked?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I didn't mention unlocking it in the guide did I?

Now that you have unlocked it (and I assume that you dont have a TA backup) just leave it unlocked. the only point to relocking is if you have a TA backup to do it with to restore the DRM keys that you just wiped
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] webfreak1364:
I had the same problem.

Just unlock it via fastboot like described on the sony homepage ( http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ ) . The only thing you can't do is checking if its possible to unlock your bootloader, so just jump this step (worked with my C6833, no warranty to work with other models fron other countries).

Then you can use EMMA without any troubles any time you brick it. At least with my device it worked.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] malimt:
When you unlocked the boot loader isnt it better? I thought that's what everyone does in order to install custom Roms am I right? I mean when I had locked one I couldn't turn on my phone when I had installed cyanogen m
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
yes you have to unlock the bootloader to run custom ROMs and kernels, but if you don't back up the TA before you unlock it you have no way to get back to a pure stock state and you lose your DRM keys - so things that rely on them no longer work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] malimt:
Ah, I see. What are DRM keys used for? and What would no longer work exactly? Sorry, I am new to this, so I am trying to get some knowledge of what everything is exactly.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Screencasting is one thing it breaks. The backup you made in recovery before unlocking your bootloader should relock it if restored. I have never been able to confirm if it might also restore drm keys though.
