[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddy1991:
Z3 of course..

Before Z3, I used a G3 but couldn't stand the problems like overheating issues, laggy ui.

G3 also doesn't seem to be able to handle Multitasking as well as Z3 does. But it maybe because I bought a G3 with just 2GB of RAM.

So, in my opinion, Z3 is a better performer and gives you a significantly better battery life.

And since the official CM nightlies are now available for Z3, the development ofcustom roms is not much of a problem now...

Of course, G3 also has advantages over Z3, such as, bigger screen, front camera with wider angle, and some gimmicky software features.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxquicksh0txx:
My girlfriend just switched to a G3 from an S5 when she switched carriers. She says she likes it more than the S5...

I like it too, I really like the small bezels and how big the screen is compared to the phone. Although, the rear facing speaker is a draw back...

The laser auto focus works fast, and I wasn't able to get an "out-of-focus" shot on it. I think the Z3's camera is still better overall, detail-wise.

The 1440p screen is amazing, not that you can tell a difference pixel-wise... It just looks like a piece of actual paper.

The buttons on the back are tricky to get used to, but I found myself getting used to it quite quickly. Since I naturally rest my pointer finger on the power button, which might be difficult for people with smaller hands/enormous hands.

Someone also tested it in a sink of water, underwater for 2 hours and it still worked... Better than my last Z3 :crying:

I like both, I would go into a store and use both to see which one you prefer. I still prefer the Z3 for my needs.

I currently have the spigen ultra hybrid case and it holds up well but the cutout for the headphone jack is too small. It won't any of my headphones, which is the Sanheiser HD 202 II. Are there any cases out there that have a bigger cutout for the headphone jack?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] JayR_L:
The Spigen is a great case. You could probably drill it better, or change the headphone cord... I'd keep the case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tavocabe:
Yes, I had to take that decision so I kept the spygen hybrid case and drilled a bigger hole
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DosNexus:
You could always get a small extension cable with a thinner recessed casing like this.

I have one of these and it fits every case. The jack tip is the same size as on a set of ear buds. Then you just plug whatever headphones you want into the adapter. Saves you having to modify or drill your case.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayurb4:
first of all thanks for sharing such useful tut....though it didn't work for me cause I can't enter DIAG mode.

second of all I'm having a little bit of different issue with my Rooted HTC one M7.

My phone recognizes WCDMA signal absolutely fine( 3G data connection is flawless) but it won't detect/recognize GSM signal no matter how many different cell towers I go to. when I switch to "WCDMA" or "GSM/WCDMA auto" mode it receives good signal, but when I switch to "GSM" only mode then it turns out to be "emergency calls only" thing(I tried this with 10 different vendor SIM cards). To make sure my SIM hasn't got any issue I tried it in different phone which did good. I can't say that if it has Hardware issues, but to clear my doubt I went to Authorized HTC service center. The front desk engineer guy took my phone to the technician and came back in a minute and told me that motherboard needs to be replaced (can they really diagnose phone's H/W in a minute?? also my phone's rooted and 18months old so no warranty). That MB thing costs around 80% of mobile's current market price so I came back with faulty HTC one m7 in my pocket. And here I am... I thought I would ask some experts in this community to give it a try on software side otherwise the phone is already 90% useless as there no coverage to WCDMA in my house.

Now you may be thinking that it is Service Provider's coverage issue, but hey I tried using my SIM into two other phones at the same place. Out of which one was "Nokia Lumia 820" and the other one was 6 year old "Nokia 1110"(though it doesn't support micro SIM, I inserted it carefully to make proper copper contacts) and my SIM worked fine with GSM signal in both the phones, as of course 1110 works only with GSM.

I can't believe I'm having this weird issue and now I can't rely on HTC's service centers. So any help is gonna be really useful.

I appreciate your time to read this and thanks in advance.

Have good time ahead.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Webby9597:
Okay so I'm sure you've all heard it before. I was trying to wipe my recently acquired Nexus 5 (from Ebay) which had already been rooted. In the standard recovery mode, some how in my idiocy, i delete the entire OS .... :mad: i have tried to flash the latest available version of hammerhead but it keeps failing, i gather due to having no boot.sig or system.img already on the device.

All help appreciated very much as i hope to resolve this ASAP.

Many thanks in advanced for your time and know-how,

[Streak 5 Android Development] hunderteins:
Hello,

there is an old security hole in gingerbread/DSC ROMS relating android application security called master key. [1]

Basically Android 1.6 Donut through 4.2 Jelly Bean does not properly check cryptographic signatures for applications, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via an application package file (APK).

There are different programmes to check this security hole. You find them under "bluebox security scanner" or "SRT APP scanner". Both programmes show DSC is affected.

You find bugreports/patches regarding this hole with the numbers 8219321, 9695860, 9950697 and 10148349 . Proofs of concept can be found at [2].

There is another security hole called FakeID with the number 13678484 With that bug one app can act as another and missuse permissions.

GB/DSC-Rom is not vulnerable with 9695860. None the less you can find all five patches at [3].

I translated the patches against bug 8219321, 9950697, 10148349 and 13678484 into smali-patches so they can applied against our /system/framework/core.jar. The sources are attached. The core.jar on my streak is already patched against openssl-1.0.1l, so I included these modifications, too.

I included a streakmod-recovery update.zip to deploy the patches in DSC. For other gingerbread roms you'll have to deal with the sources or check the backported xposed module [4]

Have fun,

hunderteins

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Z£Y$:
Ok i still in the process of reading various threats regarding ROM backups.

Can someone please clarify the differences between the three kind of ROMS:

WINCE ROM

Radio ROM

Extended ROM

As far as i can tell the WINCE is self explanatory -- its the OS

Which one of the rest 2 ROMS hold the settings of the provider.

E.g. If i want to upgrade my device to WM6 and want to reload the settings of my provider which one of the two i will have to use?

Regards

Z£Y$
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kdskamal:
Extended rom holds the settings
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] apd:
The radio ROM does what it says on the tin - it controls the radio.

The extended ROM is about 10Mb of memory used by the carriers for configuration / customisation information. It is usually programmed to autorun after a hard reset so that the customisation files in there can be processed first. For example, with O2 UK, the customisation puts in the GPRS/3G/locale settings, makes the Uni look pretty (if you don't use corporate mode) at the expense of it being very slow indeed!

If you empty the extended ROM, you then have 10Mb which you can use for storage / running progs. I run TomTom 6 and various other key apps from there with no difficulties.

The only downsides are if for some reason you need some particular form of customisation installed by your carrier. I have happily dispensed with all of the O2 customisation and all I have to do when I hard reset (after a new ROM) is to reinstall the O2 GPRS/MMS settings, which takes about thirty seconds.

If you do empty the extended ROM, bear in mind that it will be re-locked whenever you change the main ROM so you will need to unlock it again. Also, one of the unlocking progs around also wipes the Extended ROM - there is another (which you will find somewhere on this site) which only unlocks it.

[Moto X Q&A] cnoevl21:
I've tried 20 apps and I don't really like most of them.

What are ppl using?

I honestly liked the old 4.1 stock app and want something similar.

I want manual sync, but I want the app to auto sync upon opening, which surprisingly none of them do. I know u just have to pull down to sync, but hey, one less step, is one less step.

I also am having trouble finding an app where u can easily delete from the app. I think I'm deleting emails throughout the day, only to find them all still there when I go to hotmail on my computer.

When I hit delete, I want it to delete, not go to trash so I have to open an entirely different folder and delete that for it to really be gone.

I'm just going to keep trying them, but if you guys have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

[HTC One X] cookan:
Hi guys,

I have an M8 now..I'm happy ;) well almost....had to send it back and whilst it was being fixed I thought I'd get my One X out and use the sim in that. Unfortunately I'd moved from Orange to Vodafone when I upgraded to the M8 so my vodafone SIM didn't want to work in the Orange UK One X.

Easy I thought...I went online and got the unlock code....which didn't work. Luckily the site refunded me he 10 quid and I tried another site...this one cost 15 quid so I thought I'd get a 'better' code ;) Unfortunately, it was the same code...only £5 more expensive....luckily, they refunded me also.

So...I called Orange...and despite having since moved to Vodafone and no longer having a contract with them they agreed to provide the unlock code for free.....yes you guessed it....same code as the 2 online providers....

So...I took it to a shop who tried a 'different' database...which produced..you guessed it...the same code so he took it away and said he suspected the wrong code had been entered too many times which is why the code wasn't working...he was going to try reset the counter to enable the code to be entered...but after a long while...no luck.

I then spoke to HTC who were also very helpful and checked the IMEI which showed them that the unit had been in for repair...no sh*t I said....I had no less than 5 HTC One X's as I ran in to every documented hardware issue there was.....anyway he said....it may be the unit's IMEI got changed and the unlock code no longer matches.....

So that's where I'm at.....I fully own this One X having paid my dues to Orange...I had to put up with 5 faults...and I'm left with a phone that I effectively still have to pay Orange for...

Are there any options open to me ?

Is there a way to unlock it if I root it ?

are HTC able to unlock it ?

thanks,

Ant.
[HTC One X] paulh1978:
You don't need to pay anyone if you get in touch with orange and as for sim unlock code you should get it free if you've had the handset with them for over 6 month.

Just seen the rest of message have you tried taking it into a orange shop to let them unlock it for you

On XT1095 - Pure Edition running 5.0 stock, unlocked.

I used ChainFire's autoroot batch (semi-)successfully. SuperSU is updated and prompts normally when apps request access. Problem is that even though they have been given root access, they don't. Root Checker app verifies that my device is rooted.

I have also tried the Multi-Tool which again rooted but same results (then soft bricked when I tried to install custom recovery). I have brought back my device to stock with SolarTran's Guide and tried the whole process over, again nothing seems to work.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
Yesterday by accident I found a thread on kodi forums with new release from some guy and I checked it first on my phone to see if prime is working and it indeed does work.

But there are some issues some videos might not play so hopefully the guy who did it updates it or fixes it but I just spent last 30 min on my fire tv testing what works and what does not :)

Here is what you do in order to get it to work on your Fire TV:

1) Download this zip (repo) and put it somewhere on your fire TV:

Link: https://code.google.com/p/addonscri...=repository.addonscriptorde-beta.zip&can=2&q=

2) Go to add-ons on your kodi/xbmc and install the repo

3) go to settings addons - get addons and download the Amazon Prime Instant Video from "Video-Addons" inside AddonSCriptorde Beta Repo

4) launch the prime addon select it as USA, set your settings like quality etc... then it should ask you to LOG-IN after you select US.

5) You should be able to browse tv shows/movies etc..

6) upon selecting play for certain movie/tv-show episode it should ask you to switch to Flash Player (no idea how it works on Fire TV) or any other android device without flash.

On my phone I don't have flash but on my fire tv I do and they both work.

Note: without prime instant access you can view things like Pilot episodes to test it out.

Now we need someone who can try and see why some videos will play and why some won't

Someone who is smart dig into these logs when some videos don't play and tell us what to do about it ;)
[Fire TV General] jmerrilljr2:
What is the advantage here? Prime is standard app on the FireTV. Just curious.
[Fire TV General] bradwatson:
Curious as to why someone would want to use an xbmc add-on for Amazon Instant Video when AIV is one of the core features of the Fire TV? I use built-in AIV all the time and it works great. Why use some hack add-on that will never be nearly as reliable as the official app? Do you not like the built-in AIV? I'm genuinely curious. Could be missing out on something here...
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
In my case I am not a biggest fan of the KFTV Launcher I actually like the way it is made on Kodi with that plugin.

It's just me maybe there are some other people who prefer it that way :)

It's good to have options. Enjoy!

Not a fan of the design in the Prime MovieZ app in KFTV Launcher that's all ;)
[Fire TV General] bradwatson:
Fair enough then, OP. Good luck with the add-on!
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
Thanks oh and also the themes are great that it works with any kodi theme you use.

Just wanted to post it so some people are aware of it.:good:
[Fire TV General] desmoloch:
You can add Videos from the addon to your library just like they are local stored. So you can extend your local movies with amazon instant links.

You don't have to switch between your library and amazon Instant.

Adding ALL amazon Videos to library is not implented yet, i'm working on it
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
Yepp what are you working on tho ?

Trying to see what causes some videos not to play. Thanks !
[Fire TV General] iGetThis:
Add-on works but as mentioned not all Movies / Shows are playing.

Not 100% sure yet but it appears to me that HD are not playing.
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
Hd plays for me. Change quality settings. The guy who made is busy and I have no idea if he will fix it.
[Fire TV General] iGetThis:
It is set to 1080p@10000kb. I thought about the HD because everything it plays shows SD after played.

And looking at my Watchlist the HDs are not playing whereas the SDs are. Was just my first impression.

Are you aware of another addon for Amazon Prime Video?
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
There are other but require to use real version of chrome not mobile.

It somehow uses chrome then passes video to kodi/xbmc addon.

I would give this dev some time he will for sure fix it. This is already one of the best I have seen.
[Fire TV General] psycon:
This plugin broke the genesis plugin for me. :(.. would be great to have this working. specially when the AFTV skin for Kodi is released.
[Fire TV General] patt2k:
I don't see anyway this could break another plugin which is weird. And yea I tried googling for the aftv skin for kodi but all they do is show bunch of youtube videos.. I would gladly even pay few bucks for this.

With root this could be huge adding android apps etc.. making kodi act like a launcher.
[Fire TV General] mjbxx:
This would be great for those with rooted devices who may one day be able to upgrade to CM12 / Android TV ROM. I am fairly certain that this upgrade will eliminate access to the current Fire TV Launcher and Amazon content. It would be nice to be able to access Amazon Prime if and when CM12 is possible from other sources.
[Fire TV General] robmausser:
Anyway to get this to pass 5.1 sound information to my receiver?

Or can that data not be captured from the Flash version of Prime.
[Fire TV General] KLit75:
This is very worth while if it works. Lots of people like to boot right into Kodi. Plus I hate just about everything about KFTV launcher. I think it's too tedious to navigate. The voice search was a great idea and the tech is perfect at picking up your voice but it often yields a bunch of results that you need to pay extra for. I think kodi has the best interface.
