[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pipspeak:
Sony has indeed failed miserably with its marketing in the US. It's almost weird to see how little the Xperia Z3 phones have been promoted after getting a ton of amazing reviews in the press last fall. Reviews like that, coupled with phenomenal battery life and waterproofing (two huge advantages over competing phones) should have been a license to print money with the Z3 models, but I've barely seen an Xperia ad anywhere and clearly there were minimal contracts with carriers. A first-year marketing student could have done a better job of promoting them than Sony.

But that seems to be Sony's overall problem. Great products, appalling marketing. When they do have a bestseller it's almost by accident. Sort of the opposite of Microsoft, which pours money into marketing crummy products (and poured money into buying Nokia only to do pretty much nothing so far).

Sad that the Xperia line might come to an end. I hope Sony can find a partner to continue... maybe just a marketing partner would help. Having lived with the Z3c for 2-3 months now I cannot imagine going back to a phone with less than 3-days battery life (for my usage) or one that's any bigger than this (perfect for one-handed operation). Those two attributes alone were the reason I gave up on Nexus/Motorola phones. Yes, the Z3c has it's flaws, as does every phone, but in this case the flaws are easily outweighed by the advantages.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] AM Radio:
reminds me of Sony's handling of MiniDisc in North America. so many dumb choices and missteps along the way, like failing to capitalize on MD Data and Hi-MD, or remedying the clunkiness of proprietary NetMD before getting swept under the wave of MP3; and keeping the technology prohibitively expensive for the average consumer. and let's take a moment and remember these other Sony fails:

Betamax

DAT

MemoryStick

UMD

Satio (a touchscreen Symbian phone with a 12MP camera -- high-spec for 2009 -- with Xenon flash. phone never saw the light of day in North America, even when Symbian was the most popular mobile OS in the world, though don't get me started on Symbian's fail.)

lest we forget, at one point, pre-Xperia Sony (in partnership with Ericsson) had a super-popular Walkman phone (w810, if i'm remembering correctly), which came out about two years or so before the iPhone was released in 2007. Sony failed to innovate or anticipate the future, and were still releasing pointless multiple versions of dumb phones for a few years after.

oh, and one more: Sony was the first to come out with a music ID service on their devices -- "TrackID" via Gracenote, which is included on our phones still -- but Sony let Shazam drink all the milkshake. still remember former co-workers talking about how revolutionary the Shazam app was, years after the service was already stock on Sony phones.

so yes, there's a history of Sony failures. but i hope the Z3(c) isn't added to the list. i really dig this phone! for the record, i was also really into MD. had a Sony deck, still have two players and a couple dozen MDs (which haven't been used in a long time).
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] itikhvin:
Yikes. And I just purchased a 2 year extended warranty coverage for the Z3. So if my phone dies in the next 3 year, Sony will not be able to replace it?

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamroddo:
I'm located in India where the Wifi-only 32GB Nexus 9 model is not available. The choice is either 32GB/LTE or 15GB/Wifi-only. I don't really want to pay extra for LTE which I don't plan to use. I'm wondering how the storage is partitioned on the 16GB model. I'm not planning to put too much in the way of videos and other media on the tablet (I'll use some Wifi connected storage device for media). I've got a Galaxy S2 with 16GB that has its storage partitioned such that while there is plenty of storage free the space for applications is filled up. Will I suffer from this with a 16GB variant of the Nexus 9?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USBhost:
Go with the 16gb

No point about paying $200 more for a 32gb

Note you will have 11.5gb free on the 16
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
I had a N7 2012 that was 16 gig and only time I ever filled up the storage was when I had a bunch of ROMs stored. Why I got the 16 gig N9 I couldn't see in spending that much for 16 gig of more storage. If I need more storage I can use an otg cable and connect an USB memory stick but over all 16 gig has served me well and I had the same concerns of would 16 gigs be enough when I was first looking at getting s tablet.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLonelyCyborg:
It depends on what you do with you tablet, knowing that if you already have music on Google Play Music you don't have to store it on the memory (i.e, works too with Drive etc.). Same for videos, where you can keep on using wifi local connection with your PC or NAS.

So unless you install 6 big games of 1+ GB or memory use, 16GB (actually 11,5 GB free) will be all enough, no need for more !
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, iamroddo...

My 16Gb WiFi-only Nexus 9 has about 11Gb of user space available... for user installed apps (games, utilities, widgets, tools, etc.) and content (documents, images, videos, music, etc.)

See screenshots below for outputs from my various diagnostic apps.

---

On all of my Android devices, I tend to keep content (music, pics, documents, videos) stored either on a cloud based service (Box, DropBox, Google Drive, etc) or on an SD Card (as on my HTC One M8 phone). Obviously the SD Card isn't an option for the Nexus 9, as it doesn't have SD Card support. This frees up internal storage for the installation of apps... And also, because I do a lot of tinkering on my N9, I like to keep backups of software (eg. Titanium, NANDROIDs, etc) and they can consume a fair chunk of space!!!

Anyhow, I guess if you're not planning on using LTE, it does seem like a lot to pay for a feature you're not likely to use.

---

One option, if you're looking for more (local) storage is to investigate something called OTG (On-the-Go) cables.

I remember reading about these a couple of years ago, when I got my original Nexus 7. It wasn't something I ever followed through, 'cos I had no need of of one. But essentially, and as I understand it, an OTG cable is a cable that you can connect a USB memory stick to the Nexus device via it's USB port. You'll also need software installed on the Nexus 9 to support it... I vaguely recall something called Nexus Media Importer being talked about at the time, as it didn't require the Nexus to be rooted..

Found the Google PlayStore link...:).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer

This article is also worth a read...

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/nexus-9-full-usb-otg-support

...in which it appears all that you need is

ES File Explorer

, to couple a memory stick to the N9, via an OTG cable:).

---

Anyway, just some thoughts and ideas, and perhaps something worth further invertigation and research.

Hope this of some use, and good luck in whatever you decide:):):).

Rgrds,

Ged.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icanfly77:
HI All

It is a general consensus that you cannot flash 4.4 back to 4.3 due to bootloader but there are many threads around that others have had success with other handsets like Note 3 etc and wondering with my N7105G if it can be done?

Anyone had success? I have the Aussie Note 2 GT-N7105GT and I flashed it to the Nordic 4.4 (N7105G F/W) because the Aussie version STILL!! has not received Kit Kat

But I have to do a warranty repair and the ETA of Kit Kat for Australia is April and warranty ends in March so I have no choice but to risk sending the phone in with another countries firmware even though Knox hasn't been tricked or try flashing phone back to official 4.3. Whats the worst that can happen if I try and fail? Just get an error and boot loop which can be fixed by flashing back to 4.4? Or worse stuff up the EFS? I have backed up the EFS. Not to mention the phone is loaded with the N7105G Firmware and the phone is a N7105GT which could be more cause for them to reject the warranty

Just trying to weigh up my options if its worth trying to flash back if there is little risk or if there is I should just see if they will accept the warranty when phone status = official just doesnt have the right ROM for the country loaded..

I played around a little and found a work around for this issue of casting movies into a tv with showbox. First open showbox then download the movie you want to watch, after it is complete go into your file manager, then internal storage and locate showbox folder. Touch and hold on the mp4 file movie you downloaded then select move and then go to internal storage then to your file folder named video and select ok to move file once file is moved open allcast choose device to cast to and choose gallery then choose the mp4 file you moved. You can download your next movie in showbox while watching the movie you downloaded. Its not perfect but it works

I just installed Purity ROM on my N10. Was using Franco Kernel before (planned to stay on KitKat) but it was buggy as hell and I tried to reach out to him multiple times, via here and G+ but he never cared to reply back. So glad I paid for it.

I'm using the stock kernel installed with Purity. You think the above Kernel would have any issues with the ROM?

I looked at his Gdrive folder here and he has two different ones. Using the tablet because I'm traveling I can't see the whole filename.

Which one should I choose?

Are you using some 3rd party app for the O/C - kernel settings etc or does he have a specific app for kernel management?

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khaon:
Hello,

basically, stock kernel performs also well, but I don't like the default "tunnables".

Governor : you can stick with interactive and default values I made : I changed touch boost to be kernel side and the touchboost duration is 200 ms, however, you can decrease it to 100ms(that's i am using).(default value is 500ms)

io scheduler: you can switch from BFQ to fiops or ZEN. The io scheduler handles who is reading or writing to the disk. If you mainly multitasking(torrents,music,beo<insg, etc at the same time) bfq is good, otherwise you can switch to fiops or zen

Ofc undervolting: our device is set up with high voltage, basicaly I can reduce 100~150mV but this DOES NOT APPLY to everyone, you have to test yourself your own chip to figure out which voltage is required to have it stable.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usafle:
I don't know if its just MY device or some other issue. I'm running Purity ROM and after flashing your kernel I can actually watch my battery drain. :rolleyes:

I'm using Greenify to kill any apps in the background and I've used SDMaid to stop any unnecessary apps from running on startup.

Not sure what the issue is or if you even want to be bothered trying to diagnose? Not meant as a slight to you or your work at all just don't know if this is just a issue with mine or others are having the same problems?

I've already let the device die and recharge a few times thinking it was the battery stats being reported incorrectly but it doesn't seem to be the case.
