[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnormal:
I've been enjoying my Z3 for 3 days now, having used a Note1 running MIUI for the last 3 years. (It still works great and i love miui, but I'm going for four years... i saw this D6653 on Amazon Warehouse open-box for $450, so i grabbed it. No warrantee, but perfect condition as far as i can tell, and working with AT&T :)

Anyway here's four easy questions from someone who is 3 yrs behind and just arrived:

1. charger.

The Z3 charger is 1.5A. I happen to have a 2.1A from another gadget, and it worked great for charging the Note. but then again those batteries are replaceable. should i keep it away from the z3? Will my non-replaceable sealed Z3 battery last meaningfully longer if I use the proper 1.5A, or is it fine to just use either one interchangeably?

2. X-pen?

i almost never used the "S-pen" but it was nice once in a while.

would this pen be the same experience? are all phablets stylus-enbled these days?

http://shop.crackberry.com/incipio-inscribe-executive-stylus-and-pen/16A44A10649.htm

3. whats the go-to swiping keyboard?

I'm really used to swype. (don't like swiftkey.)

i notice that the xperia keyboard does swiping now.

does the google keyboard swipe as well?

is there a known favorite for swipers now?

4. noise cancellation

i heard that the Z3 does software noise-canceling. where's that setting? does it require special headphones with mics mounted at the ears? or does it use the mic(s) on the unit to listen for a repetitive noise worth canceling?

or maybe just not true at all...

5. lowlight camera

someone mentioned there's a lowlight capability that would be a shame to lose if one were to unlock BL. where is this lowlight setting?

6. what do you recommend for backup, non-rooted?

how about the one built into the free AVG virus utility that came with it? is it actually a decent utility or is it bloat?

7. xperia lounge - is there really something of value there, or it is just like /r/lounge?

how about Movie Express (which required access to your address book!). any point?

weird annoyance-

i imported 1700 call history records, but the phone app shows only those from 1/1/15 going forward. is there another way to access the records which should be there according to the import app? (the sister app had no trouble importing 3500 sms records, and the z3 stock sms app has no problem showing them all.)

misc fun fact i leave you in exchange:

i have an external non-powered (line powered) usb soundcard/interface which i have been using in order to record proper 2-channel stereo into my mac. i plugged it into Z3 (regular usb -to- micro adapter) and it worked! the volume was pretty low, but maybe that will improve if i play with it more. i don't know if there's too many units out there that allow completely portable stereo recording with with external mics.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unmaskedfalesh:
1.stick to the stock charger..as per my opinion

2.not sure about the pen..sorry

3.yes both xperia n google keyboard support full swipe feature also u can get the sywpe from play store

4.z3 supports hardware noice cancellation and u need nc headsets for that..like nc31-em..u hav to goto audio settings and select nc option

5.click the photo in high sensitivity manual mode to get low light pics..

6.ur google account will do.fine for backup but you can use third party apps also...

N avg works just fine

7.lounge app is a gateway to various free items and offers for sony customers.. U can take part in contests and win prizes..

That must hav answered ur doubts feel free to let me know..

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JedidroidX:
Hello all I recently upgraded to a note 3 from verizon, and I have unlimited data did the sim trick and still have my UDP!

The problem is I want to install a custom rom so I can thether and watch xbmc, have better battery performance and a faster phone. I rooted and installed custom roms for years on several phones, but the note 3 has become impossible for me so I'm seeking help.

I have kk 4.3 and the MJ7 baseband.....I rooted using kingo then I installed the super user from the play store....then installed busy box(stericson) ...then the latest safestrap 3.75 I think...Once installed I hit the boot to recovery and it goes to the samsung boot screen with the open lock then restarts to the same screen again with the open lock and boots up to the android os... I have installed and uninstalled different version of safestrap and no recovery still. I have softbricked my phone several time already and recovered using odin...My knox counter is on 0x1 but I dont care about that...I want my phone with custom rom I hate this verizon bloatware! Please help!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immadeofpixels27:
Here's all the details i have in a nice list:

I did a factory reset and then installed cm12 and gapps

I now realize that I left xposed installer installed

rebooting to recovery sticks at bootloader unlocked warning

turning off and plugging in yields cm animated charging battery

EDIT: Got recovery working by reflashing it through fastboot
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immadeofpixels27:
Solved.

Had to enter fastboot and reflash twrp, then recovered into a backup of stock to disable xposed (oops :p), and then go back to twrp and wipe everything except external sd card before flashing.

I am now running cm12 nigthly build for 2/1/2015!!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharpknight:
Can you help me? It seems u had a simular problem. I installed CM12 nightly but NOW anytime (regardless of ROM)(except the stock TW ROM) if i try rebooting the phone will not reboot. You mentioned something about Xposed modules. Did i need do uninstall exposed before moving from slimrom to CM12? I wiped, cache, dalvik, data and system and then installed CM12. Did i do somthing wrong? If i reboot i have to wipe everything, format data and then restore to my slimROM backup. (or do i clean install of some other rom) to use my phone. Please help me if you can. I cant reboot my phone :(
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKroniK13x:
I'd imagine wiping everything would take care of the xposed framework. How long did you let CM12 boot for? Lollipop ROMs can take a very long time for first boot, sometimes upwards of 20 minutes.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharpknight:
10 minutes. Im back on slimROM (4.3) but the problem still persists.

If i reboot i have to restore. Could SLim also be taking so long all of a sudden?

I updated to TWRP 2.8 btw.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKroniK13x:
Slim should not be affected. I'd uninstall Xposed (via the installer app) and start fresh, with either LP or KK, whichever you prefer. LP takes significantly longer than 10 minutes to boot the first time, if you decide to try it again, let it go for at least 25 minutes before calling it dead. After first boot, it can restart pretty quickly.

I know the problem happen to me all you have to do I download the Correct gapps. Lollipop gapps not kk gapps.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiraisuki:
I was using the Cyanogenmod nightly for lollipop, and an update came out. I downloaded the update through Cyanogenmod's built in updater, and now my tablet is stuck in a bootloop. I can get to bootloader, but I cant do anything aside from "Start". The volume buttons do nothing. I tried using NRT with the drivers reinstalled according to the directions in the program, but my laptop won't recognize the device! What do I do? Do I just have a giant expensive brick now??

TLDR: I cant get into recovery, bootloader can only "start", it wont boot to home screen, and my laptop (Windows 8.1) won't pick it up.

PLEASE HELP! I RELY ON THIS TABLET FOR EVERYTHING!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neozen21:
So... you can't use the volume buttons to scroll through the Bootloader menu??

One option would be to flash the factory images using fastboot... but obviously you will lose everything.

I would try to get into Recovery mode first and flash CM12 1/18/15. (1/30 has issues with nav var)...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hayth:
Hold both volume buttons down and press power.

Then u scroll thru and choose recovery etc. If you just used volume down and power it won't scroll.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiraisuki:
Ohhhh... I feel stupid now... It worked! Now to wipe and reflash the rom I was using..

Thank you so much!

I'm ready to upgrade/flash my Dash, but just wondering, what exactly is the upside of WM6? I'm happy to be an early adopter and all that, but what will I notice to be improved?
[HTC Excalibur] lafester:
if you haven't read every thread posted here about wm6 then you aren't ready to install it yet.

there are quite a few important changes you need to make imediately after installing.

the main advantages for me are the email enhancements and xt9 staying off pemanently. it also looks prettier. windows live seems to work better as well.

oh and the early adopters downloaded and installed it a month ago :D
[HTC Excalibur] rocky2:
Thanks! Could you be more specific about the e-mail enhancements?
[HTC Excalibur] canadian student:
you can view HTML e-mail.
[HTC Excalibur] rocky2:
Is that it? How about alert customization depending on the account or something?
[HTC Excalibur] JAmerican:
I have the files on my PC ready to go but I'm still using WM5 because I don't want my device phoning Microsoft or T-Mobile with my IMEI or other information. While you can disable it, the idea that your device phone's home should be kind of scary to you. Also, its BETA. I don't want my phone going crazy while I am on the road and I need it most.

JAmerican
[HTC Excalibur] lafester:
its more then just html but that is nice.

you have the option to send mail when you hit send instead of having to hit send/receive as well.

you can keep mail on the server when you delete off the phone.

delete is moved to the left softkey instead of having to go into the menu.
[HTC Excalibur] richy240:
I'm using WM6 on two devices, and although I wouldn't go back to the previous version, WM6 is JUST LIKE WM5. It's just that the majority of the applications have something or another that makes it that much more usable.

What I mean is, there are quite a few little features (and a couple additional applications) that make it an "upgrade." It's just like how WM5 was an upgrade to WM2003. It isn't an upgrade as much as it's update, if that makes any sense...

I'm pretty sure WM6 doesn't "phone home" or anything. I imagine this would have been found out by this point.
[HTC Excalibur] rocky2:
installation process

But, it sounds like upgrading is a whole lot more complicated than just running RUU_Excalibur... on my unlocked T-Mobile Dash. I then have to do a bunch of other mysterious steps?
[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
He's talking about the app on the t-mobile beta wm6 rom which sends an SMS to a UK number frequently thus running up a high phone bill. Once that app is uninstalled it appears to be ok.
[HTC Excalibur] richy240:
Ugh... What app is that?!? Gotta make sure I uninstall that one...
[HTC Excalibur] lafester:
they aren't mysterious. they are all well documented here.
[HTC Excalibur] rocky2:
But there isn't exactly a step by step guide, at least none I found on a search.
[HTC Excalibur] richy240:
You could write one...
[HTC Excalibur] sergiopi:
I am using WM6 since first HERMES build appear.

PRO

Faster

Nice grafic presentation

Some applets (office mobile for smartphone could be one)

Windows LIVE (but is also available ad WM5 add-on)

CON

Is at least a RTM bur still some beta's DLL and drivers are out, meaning unpredictable results with some appz

No big improvements, I am using smartphone notes and documents to go and I HAVE a better office sute, having even some PPT editing, nice word usability and formatting

Needs to be patched just to work normally

HTML e-mail works ONLY with exchange server 2007

Conclusion

The Excalibur HTC ROM is fast and stable (we are talking STABLE in terms of a windows system :) ). Documents to go is much better than WM6 office, no compatibility for both with office 2007 doc formats, nothing really improved having the WM6 Rom at this stage .

WM6 is a MS business to boost VISTA compatibility and exchange server 2005 sales (all important new features are available ONLY uif you use exchange server 2005)

From user point of view better graphic is the only real enhancement
[HTC Excalibur] Matmax:
WM6 really shines when you are a corporate user with Exchange 2007 airsync. You have stuff like rights management, sharepoint proxy, calendaring enhancements and better office integration (with lates office clients you can also use new formats). There is much more info on the M$FT website.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YourWorstFears:
So my last backup was about 30 days. And for some reason its doesn't back up any more. Its a pain in the butt since I have to clean flash every 2 weeks or sometimes less. Is there a fix for this. Can I reset my google account perhaps that will work?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comk4ver:
Are you sure you have that option checked?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YourWorstFears:
I'm pretty sure I did

I guess I'm the only one having this problem. I thought it was a problem for everybody
[General Accessories] deadseth:
ok, I realize that this is a android/mobile phone based website. I also know this is a regularly if not updated by the minute as far as well, the entire site/forums.. But my question could be a general question about usb modifications.. If i am in the wrong area/website please tell me. As far as my question goes, i have a nice little bluetooth speaker. It has a five pin usb female adapter but the pins have become well, screwed is the best way i can put it.. Is there anyway to bypass the usb aspect of it and hardwire it ? I know and have hardwired my motorola's when i happen to have too low of a battery level for a sbf to work.. so I know the concept maybe possible but dont know the first place to start without ruining everything by basically cracking it with a hammer (not actual technique but results are very similer)

ok. thank you and hope this was somewhat cohearant and undersatandable or atleast not to long to read..

[HTC Desire 510] 007manyo:
Okay, so this morning I stupidly wiped my OS on accident (4.4.2 KitKat, Virgin Mobile, Rooted, S-ON) and now I need to install a fresh new one. So far nothing has yielded the results I desire, which is to just get my phone back up and running. I've tried flashing new images with fastboot and restoring from pre-made backups made with TWRP. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any suggestions?
[HTC Desire 510] rbheromax:
What happens when restoring from TWRP backup?
[HTC Desire 510] 007manyo:
It gets to roughly 100%, and then claims to have failed. This only solved one issue - Instead of getting to the fist HTC boot screen, it loaded the first, then the VM splash, and then the second HTC screen, but only when rebooting from TWRP. I've tried flashing several other ROMs today, and I have no progress so far.
[HTC Desire 510] 007manyo:
So. I fixed it myself, but only after trying something I didn't think would work, and it's honestly not something most people talk about when they talk about restoring to stock, as I couldn't find this tidbit anywhere. Sooo... I'll give a little list of what I did.

1 -

Wiped System Partition

to erase other installed ROMs. Apparently, flashing one ROM doesn't replace the first? Whatever, I did this in case I had flashed a broken ROM at some point or flashed a recovery ROM to the system partition.

2 -

Wiped Cache Partition

for the same reason as above. Since I had the phone sort of working at one point, I assumed that whatever it was doing had at least written something to the cache.

3 -

Wiped Dalvik Cache

to get rid of fragments of broken ROMs. I read somewhere that Dalvik cache needs to be wiped before installation of new ROMs in order to keep the old and new ROMs from interfering. With that assumption, and the assumption that wiping my system clean couldn't hurt any more than it did, I did that.

4 -

RELOCKED THE BOOTLOADER.

I have no idea what possessed me to do this. I figured that it was broken too far for me to fix, and that locking the bootloader might remove the *TAMPERED* and *UNLOCKED* flags from the bootloader. Upon further reading, I know this isn't true.... Anyhow, after using "fastboot oem lock", It locked the bootloader. At least something I did yielded results that time.

Now the one I certainly didn't expect...

5 - Ran the HTC Desire 510 Virgin Mobile

RUU.

Now, what's weird about this is during the time when my bootloader was unlocked, RUU never detected my phone. After relocking the bootloader, however, RUU detected my phone almost instantly and in ten minutes my OS was back up and running.

The only thing I used TWRP for in this process was wiping my partitions. I didn't have to fastboot flash a ROM or load a recovery. I just think that more people should know that restoring to or installing a factory new OS, with HTC at least, is much easier than most articles or forums make it sound.
[HTC Desire 510] siggrad1:
Tried, but getting battery error

Had root, custom ROM, and removed some bloatware. Called VM to activate Wi-Fi hotspot. (Boy was that a mistake!). It didn't activate so CS Rep said to power down, remove battery for 1 min and she is going to go into phone to re-provision and call me back after she was finished. I never got the call back! After several reboots from VM rep, the phone ended up on the white HTC splash screen. I could get into recovery TWRP where I found the OS was missing.

So I started searching xda and found this post.........

Got everything up to step 5... Went to run the VM RUU and got an error message that the battery was below 30% when in fact it was at 100%. Tried NUMEROUS times with the same result...

HELP!! :crying: :confused:

EDIT:

Searching around xda, I gained alot of useful knowledge of this phone and found the "fix". Thank you all so much for everything! I used this link http://xdaforums.com/desire-510/development/virgin-sprint-htc-desire-510-stock-t2961521 to finally fix it. I thought I was going to have to buy a new phone! :victory: :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShadowTech13:
Hi,

A friend of mine recently came into possession of a "maimed" S4. We are able to fix this, however, the data on the phone is incredibly important, more specifically, the text messages. It is critical that we recover them. The phone is not rooted.

My questions are:

1) Can we recover the messages without root through some computer software or application?

2) If we install some sort of application, do you think it will over-write the deleted text message data (We know that it stays on the device until overwritten)?

3) If we attach the phone via usb to a computer and set it to "usb mass storage," will that prevent data from being lost if we need to install an application?

Thank you in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NWWADD:
Anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] KaosMaster:
There is no way, that I am aware of, to recover deleted text messages. There might be a way If rooted. Good luck with your endeavor!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Airsoftjunky:
You are taking data recovery. Expensive, if you have someone do it. If you are using something like Verizon messages, simply put another phone on the line/number, and tell it to sync your old texts. This will only work if the texts have not been deleted. Good luck! I do not use Verizon messages but I use the app to sync my texts when I change phones.

[Android Apps and Games] StoryNative:
Nice concept, I think the graphics and performance need a little polish, also it should default to landscape as my device had huge portrait borders above and below the game area.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.HB:
Thanks for the feedback , I left the auto-rotate to 4 directions because of so many different devices but you can use either portriat or landscape mode it supports all. I will work on my art skills haha. I tested the game on various devices and didn't have problems with the controls. I missed Super Mario Land for Gameboy so I made something similar styled.
