[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp_greek:
The nexus 5 doesn't have a AMOLED screen, so Ambient Display is not supported. Catalcysm Rom added it also to the Nexus 5, but I wouldn't use that, since it worsens your battery live.

You need to download a app to make this possible, like Screen Notifications (from Luke Korth) or Ac Display (Artem Chepurnoy)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HUNTERANGEL121:
Yeah thanks.

I guess I'm on an older version of cataclysm.

Got home, and learned proper name of it. Didn't know it was called ambient display. Cheers...

How would one turn off vibrate?

Use about 10 mins the program will auto close down and switch to TODAY screen, take out the battery for 10 mins the problem will solve but when the device is hot the problem ( Auto turn off and switch to Toaday screen ) accur again.

Somebody please help. THK
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tadzio:
Sounds like the touchscreen hardware problem I also had some time ago: when warm, the touchscreen generates fake taps in the upper right corner. Then the OS "thinks" someone tapped the "ok"/"x" button and closes the program. You can verify this if you go to landscape mode (slide open the keyboard). If this is indeed the problem, then your programs will not close, but you will instead see the Start menu (because the fake taps are now in the upper left corner).

Only solution is to exchange the device.

Cheers

Many of us are very excited of using features like dt2w/s2w

But we face issues like battery drain or even not working after 5 secs or so.

Also the device doesn't go to deep sleep.

Check out the app called gravity screen. :)

I am not the author. Just sharing :]

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree&hl=en

Well this app has been there on the market for a long time. I am not using it today for the first time. But its the first time on the redmi 1s. :)

Play around with the app. I have set screen on by motion off.

The effect on my battery is so slight that u wont notice it.

My device goes to sleep if I keep it on the table lying top up or top down doesn't matter. If I want to use the phone I just wave my hand above it. :p

For turning off, we can use double tap on the status bar.

This is similar to pocket mode. and also has a feature called pocket mode.

Try it out. It pretty easy to setup and works flawlessly .

Press Thanks If It's Helpful To U. :)

Battery drain of DT2W. VS gravity screen.

Hi all

I am keen in android dev, but we all need to start somewhere

I have been searching and as my title suggests, all I have found are superuser.zips and rooted roms

for the android devs and rom chefs,

how do I take stock firmware, either as:

a .tar.md5 or

a twrp/cwm recovery backup

and root it?

reason for asking, (although I dont indend this as a specific model issue), I recently restored my Samsung Note LTE to stock JB, then installed CWM and then flashed the superuser.zip, but I didnt get root, installed twrp then su, still no root,

so im thinking either rooting the stock tar.md5 or rooting the recovery backup, might solve the problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deBricker:
Hey guys. I'm very familiar with android and it's processes but I have stumbled onto something that I cannot solve... My Internal SD Card has somehow made it self write-protected.... even to my PC! I can't save anything to my internal SD card at all. All camera apps, with the exception of the stock samsung camera set to ext-sd store mode works. If the other camera apps don't have that option, I can't use it. I can't download anything from the web (it will automatically say download unsuccessful and even ODIN can't touch it (I tried to ODIN back to stock NK3... and it partially worked... except that I still have all my downloaded apps installed)

Here's what happened.

The problem started when I was on DomPop v0.1.3 (5.0.2) It started with me not being able to take a screenshot, which I fixed.

Then I flashed PAC-Man RLS 3 (12312014) and that's when I noticed that I can't save any downloads to my internal SD card.

So I recovered to my saved rooted stock NB1... Still no avail and this is where I found out that my 3rd party cameras don't save anymore.

I've done everything from flashng a new ROM, flashing a new recovery, ODINing back to stock... nothing seems to work! And I'm slowly starting to lose space on my ext-sd soo any help would be appreciated by this chic. Thanks in Advance :)

PS

As of the time I wrote this, I have ODINed 3x now... still, every time I reboot, I still have my downloaded apps... it's as if my /data partition is write protected from ODIN too!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
This happened to my SM-N900T when I installed a custom Recovery which contained the wrong '/sepolicy_version' for my device. The Recovery developer fixed the file but I had to format '/data' after installing it to get files with the correct policy.

Frank

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------

In your root directory, '/se_policy' should look like this, but notice that this is Android 4.3:

VE=SEPF_SM-N900T_4.3_0002

HS=7708d6f9dfc68813c4dddb915812c67b

HA=7136aebc8fc8205ec9adde19ca84e501

HP=0ef457e4c9cbf00b9100f4872e3f7d50

HF=852e176fdcb7a45fc1617bd4e93c2bf9

HM=7bd39dbe5813e94be374bee74d87bf0c

If it shows the wrong device then you can probably fix it by flashing the correct TWRP. And you will probably have to format '/data'.

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deBricker:
Huh... I now I remember... I was on TWRP when the problems started... I'm on Philz now and I still have it. Would this fix the write protected internal SD card issue too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] meoshe:
Try this ---> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2684384
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
That looks like the same problem and a much simpler solution, but make sure you have a good policy file first.

Frank

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

Up above I use two filenames, '/sepolicy_version' is the correct name of the file. In my case TWRP had the wrong '/sepolicy_version' until the developer fixed it. I still recommend installing the most recent TWRP to get all the right files -- make sure it's the right version (4.3 or 4.4) -- then run restorecon. Then after the fix, return to Philz if you want.

[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
What has everyone found for cases? I'm using the clear Mpero Flex S case. It provides extra grippiness, decent protection and the clear one allows you to see the details of the phone.

Edit: plus they're inexpensive

I bought mine on swappa with a black incipio case,but I just use the verizon holster daily.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
I got a stickerboy yellow skin for the back to stop the slippery feel.

Of course I made a pouch to carry it in.
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
I've also ordered a Skinomi full body skin and I'm going to try that for a while.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I have the black silicone case from Verizon when I got my phone together as a bundle, but I'm debating to myself whether I should go for a clear case that shows my phone's details. Clear cases get yellowing just because over time, it absorbs our oils and such. Will the flex cases do the same because of the material?
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
It's a TPU material. Mine hasn't yellowed yet, but then again it's not that old.
[Xperia Z3v General] pvcdroid:
I like the holster kickstand case from Verizon. I don't use the holster cover and the hard kickstand body is protective and convenient with the kickstand. The black case with white phone looks sharp.

[Xperia Z3v General] cpc28655:
I use the otterbox defender. I would get a lifeproof case if they made one for the z3v.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I think you're way off in what Sony designed in their flagship series: the unneeded accessories for lifeproof cases. It's already designed and built to be IP68 ratings, meaning it's waterproof and dustproof for the phone itself. There is an article that tested how well its ratings are from the Z2 as someone dropped their in the middle of the ocean and had it recovered 3 weeks later.

The back glass panel cracked, but once charged up, it's still usable as if nothing happened. :P

And BTW, getting a lifeproof case will make your phone look like another iPhone from the outside. Dx
[Xperia Z3v General] Bruce Lee:
Yeah I remember reading that article. That was an interesting one.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I stand corrected, SIX weeks at 32 feet underwater. That's an incredibly impressive feat.
[Xperia Z3v General] jal3223:
Has anyone noticed that the Xperia Z2 (L50t) China version seems to be the exact design specifications as the Z3v. It appears we may be able to use all of its cases and screen protectors. I'm going to check it out and report back.*

Google pics of the Xperia Z2 L50t and check it out.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
That's interesting that there are many similarities and not many other sources discuss the design being similar. The only thing that I think the cases will do for our phones is leave open a space that's for the magnetic dock charger. Other than that, I hope it may work so it could open more case options.
[Xperia Z3v General] jal3223:

[Xperia Z3v General] pchain:
I've really enjoyed the form and beauty of the Z3v without a case. I have a couple cases that I use on occasion when doing more rugged things, but this phone is a looker and I don't want to cover it up. :)
[Xperia Z3v General] munsabin:
Casemate Bareley There - Clear. Sturdy hold on the phone. Protects edges and corners really well. Great access to buttons. Got in when it was 50% off all cases during the holidays. You can call customer service and ask them for a 30% discount as a first time buyer. They'll give it to you. Left edge of phone is mostly uncovered, but I actually like that cause it gives me great access to the screen, and it doesn't ruin the sturdyness of the case. Would definitely recommend it.

Just ordered a cheap aluminum case from Hong Kong as well... I'm pretty excited to see what it feels like - similar to the DevilCase but 1/10th the price, and slimmer finish.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/141520064206...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Would love to see a Borderline Case from Poetic, or something similar from another company. The one I have for my Nexus 5 is absolutely amazing. Really thin finish around the edges, but completely protects the edge 360 degrees.

I went caseless for a while then dropped it but had luckily bought the tempered glass screen protector which shattered but left the screen untouched ended up with an otterbox been very happy drop it all the time no issues, could be seen as a little bulky but I'm a bigger taller guy so it feels fine in my hand
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I feel as though every time I went caseless for a bit, I'm somehow more prone to being reckless with it. It's strange.

Anyhow, was there any damage to the rear glass? Any issues with the phone after the drop?
[Xperia Z3v General] Psychotical:
No nothing, I had that same thought immediately "damn this whole thing just shattered on the asphalt" but surprisingly no, after the immediate shock and taking off the glass protection everything looked perfectly fine after an inspection
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Sony quality, where the phone's own glass resists shattering than the tempered glass protector. ;)

just ordered. I will update with "real life" feelings when I get it. however so happy to finally see a slim fit case!!
[Xperia Z3v General] jal3223:
It's a decent case except that it doesn't have a raised "lip" for the screen. So you can't lay it face down without the screen touching whatever your laying it on.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Have you ever received the accessories? Just wondering.

Also, it would be nice if they made bumper cases that exposes the body while protecting the edges.
[Xperia Z3v General] jal3223:
Yeah, I just got them in yesterday. I do believe the tempered glass is just a tiny bit too wide. It's hard to tell though because the tempered glass that I have on there already is a little thick and doesn't allow for me to lay the new one directly on the device. I have a replacement device coming and I will let you know as soon as I try it out. However, the regular Z2 protector fits perfectly in my opinion. It does come just a tiny bit short of making it all the way to the bottom speaker (like 2mm), but the entire screen is 100% protected and it also has the exact cutouts for the front sensor. The front facing camera is also unaffected by the protector even though a hole is not cut out (for the particular one that I purchased). At this point I would highly recommend getting the regular Z2 tempered glass if you guys are in the market for one. I bought this one: http://r.ebay.com/Wk4v7r

The case that I bought from the L50T model fits perfectly on the Z3v but does not offer lipped edged on the screen side for lay on the table support. It seems like the Z3v may be either a bit too wide or the case was just designed that way, I'm not sure. It does cover the sides of the device completely though. It seems almost like it was actually designed for the Z3v.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:

I'm deciding whether I should get it or not since I already spent the money on plastic ones from Verizon. I should have just spent the extra dollars right there and then to not having to worry about this now. xD

Anyone care to put the pros and cons for our waterproof phones?
[Xperia Z3v General] jal3223:
Either that one or the Z2 tempered glass ones I linked to earlier. They are well worth the price. It feels like the bare glass but handles fingerprints much better.
[Xperia Z3v General] thebandito:
Which tempered glass protectors are you referring to here? I've had some trouble finding one that includes a back tempered glass protector.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Post #32
[Xperia Z3v General] thebandito:
I don't think that ebay listing in post #32 is the right product. I checked it out and the pictures only show a front tempered glass protector. Plus, the listing states:

Package included:

1x Toughened Glass screen protector film

1x Installation guide

1x Cleaning cloth

1x Alcohol prep pad

Anyone else know where I can a back tempered glass protector?
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
I want to try the second one. But not being able to charge it by the cable is a deal breaker. I use my phone in car streaming waze 2-16 hours a day, it stays on the cord.
[Xperia Z3v General] jal3223:
I still haven't found one yet that fits for sure. I am still going to check the ones for the L50t model when I get my replacement device, but it looks to be about 1mm too wide. I know for a fact that the normal Z2 protectors fit fine though (at least for the front). So if we can find a back tempered protector for that model we should be good. I'm still on the hunt.

I'm pretty sure you can still use the charging cable. Did you read somewhere stating you couldn't?
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
No, looking at the pictures it looks clearly blocked off with an opening lower were the magnetic charger would go.
[Xperia Z3v General] jal3223:
It looks open to me. The first one I posted definitely has an opening in the exact place we need it to access the port. The second one has notches in that same area, so I'm assuming it's open there as well. I'll report back as soon as it comes in. It's overseas so it may be a while though.
[Xperia Z3v General] frankie161:
I'm using the one linked below on my phone right now and it does the job. It cover the entire phone except the usb cable door. It has a small lip on the front so the screen never touches the table/floor when facing down. It also is shaped/cut around the the top and bottom speakers so they are not covered. Its made of a soft TPU and has protected my phone from few hard falls. Plus I use a wireless charger and never have to take it out of the case. Not a bad case, especially for the price.

I may buy this case: OtterBox Defender Series Case for Sony Xperia Z3V

I have used Otterbox on a HTC One XL and liked it alot.

I am rough on devices and the box protected that cell very well.

The bad part was the screen protector inhibited touches on outer edges of screen film and required heavy touches to get touch screen to respond sometimes.

That case had a thick screen protector, and poor cutout dimensions for HTC XL 1XL screen size.

Does anyone have pro and con experience on the Otterbox for Xperia Z3v?

Get a black case, and electric tape up the exposed spots. My Verizon TPU case only has the charger slot exposed, so I could easily do that. Though I choose not to since I do frequently transfer large files from my computer to my phone.

[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I've been debating with myself whether I should buy the carbon fiber skin for mine, but to answer your question, you must find the ones that are compatible with the Z3v. The Z3 and the Z3v are physically different with each other so it wouldn't work.
