[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vezalke:
Hi!

On LG G2 I created a backup file from setting - backup and restore - create backup. Then I copied a .lbf file to my computer and factory reset my phone.

After reset I copied backup file from computer to phone and run restore. Everything went well, except contacts/sms. error is "FAILED".

Question: How do I get my contacts from .lbf file? If I extract this file with 7zip i get a file contacts2.db but I can't open it. Tried with notepad, MS access.

Any suggestion would be great.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vezalke:
Probably I'm not the only one with this problem, so this is the solution:

Insall DB browser for sqllite, import contacts2.db and execute this command:

select display_name,n.normalized_number from view_contacts as c, view_phone_lookup as n where c.name_raw_contact_id=n.raw_contact_id

This will show you all names with proper phone numbers. Now you can copy-paste to excel/notepad :good:

Hi,

I would like to know if the Galaxy S4 SGH-i337m (Canadian with Rogers) has the same Audio IC chip as here : https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+S4+Teardown/13947

it is the Qualcomm WCD9310.

Has anyone noticed that when you set the profile to vibrate or silent and when you switch it back to the profile with sound but it doesn't switch. It just either silent or vibrate even though the profile has been changed to make ring sound already.

Also the custom ring tone tend to switch back to the factory ringtone "ring-windows mobile" for no reason.

[HTC Desire 510] huggs:
Yrs, Messenger is constantly looking for new messages, even if airplane mode is activated. As far as the regular Facebook app, I use FastLite for Facebook, and then I even use the Xposed module Resflux to give Fastlite the regular Facebook launcher icon and to rename it to Facebook. It's way lighter than the regular FB app, and works 99% as well.

You may want to check Wikipedia. It's been a custom ROM for almost as long as Android has been around.

The short of it is they're tinkerers just like any other custom ROM. You get a lot of features not found on the stock ROM and bug fixes literally nightly- if they are merged in from AOSP, other 3rd party forks, and enthusiasts- and they're immediately available in the next nightly update. I really don't know how to answer your question because there's technical advantages, feature advantages... If you want to root make a backup of your ROM and try a few. You'll figure things out quickly.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Scrooge:
Help!! - I somehow registered Omapclock at 300mhz and now my MDA simply reboots all the time. A few times I was able to randomly pound the keys to get to the today screen, but then the device would turn off and reboot. I usually get to a few seconds of the Windows Mobile screen before it starts all over again.

I thought I could try to just reload the stock T-Mobile rom, but Active Sync will not recognize the machine in time before it reboots. Is there a way to reload the stock T-Mobile rom from the Mini SD slot. Do you think it is rebooting so quick because the MDA is heating up so much quicker because of the higher mhz speed now?

Is Omapclock even causing this or is it possibly something else (I did nothing else except the omapclock mhz screwup).

All I want to be able to do is either get to the Omap unregister screen or reload the stock rom. TIA
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mfrazzz:
Two options to try...

1) Hard Reset

2) Put the phone in bootloader mode (Turn it off, hold down the camera key and then turn it on) and flash a new rom (active sync won't connect but you can still flash a rom)

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Znert:
Hallo all,

First of all a thanks to all the nice people helping everybody out of their misery. I really appreciate your effort!

On to my problem:

I own a XZ1 C since January and have been quite happy with it. A few weeks in I also rooted my device successfully (I think).

My smartphone was already at version .157 so I had to use the downgrade method.

Root 14.4.A.0.157 [ LB / UBL ]

But recently I noticed that I basically cannot access the Internet via Wi-Fi anymore. Everything I do takes forever to connect and then mostly takes forever to load.

The funny thing is, however, that my brother also owns a (not rooted) Z1 compact bought from the same vendor (Amazon) and has none of these issues in the same network, at the same location. He can watch 720p videos all day long while I often have to wait for 144p vids to load.

Sot the first thing I would assume that I did something wrong while rooting, but I cant image that such a "soft" error would come from a wrong firmware....

And that's why I need your help :) Is there anything beside a full reset via PC Companion and hoping for betterment? I have also read some articles, not related to the Z1C, that some AVM-modems can cause problems. Do you know of any internet wizzary to help me out?

Thanks for reading and replying!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonryder:
First of all go to Settings - More - Internet settings - accept the question and install. Then check the WiFi again.

Check if it is possible to root your device.

goto settings - mobile networks - network mode

goto settings - mobile networks - access points

goto settings - mobile networks - provider

...check all these things first!

otherwise please give us more informations:

- which ROM?

- root-method successfully completed? (check whether your device is rooted with THIS APP

- try to flash Sony firmware via flashtool and check the WiFi function again

- flash a stock prerooted ROM such as KitSlim and check WiFi again

...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Znert:
I have done all the checks as you wished:

-Did not help. As far as I know this has nothing to do with WiFi, pls correct me if I'm wrong.

-I already had my device rooted, so yes it is rootable.

Again not sure how this should help with WiFi but here you go:

-Network mode is WCDMA/GSM

-Accesspoint is Planet 3 drei.at (Three Austria)

-Provider is 3G 3 AT

I am using stock ROM 4.4.4 build 14.A.0.157

During rooting my phone no error massages appeared or something similar, so I'm quite sure everything is as intended. Also the App says everything is ok.

I'd prefer not to fully reset my phone yet and would much more like to get the reasons behind my problem. But if no other options are left I will definitely come back to this option.

Thank you for answering :)

Tja das ist wie ich es befürchtet habe, wäre das OS Windows könnte ich zumindest den Treibern die Schuld geben ^^

Als Side Note finde ich es aber auch nett, keinen Support seitens Sony zu erhalten. Die behaupten natürlich, das läge an meinem Netzwerk bzw. daran, dass ich es gerootet habe...

Aber ich denke wohl das Beste, was ich machen kann, ist dann wohl ein reset über PC Companion.

Trotzdem Danke für deine Bemühungen.

in english:

That's what I thought after all. If only it was Windows so I could blame the drivers ^^

As a side note, I am very disappointed of Sony's support as they (of course) blame my network and me, because I rooted my phone.

In the end the best thing I could do is resetting my Z1C via PC Companion.

Anyway, thank you for your kind support.

As a quick update for anybody encountering a similar problem:

I now flashed the kernel only which I downloaded while rooting the phone. It seams like this fixed my problem (for now) without erasing all my data. However, I will post another update to confirm the solution.

Finally back to HD video :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Znert:
Ok so I can now conclude that there seams to be a problem with the firmware.

After some while the problem just sneaked right back so reflashing the firmware is just a temporal solution. But I guess there is nothing wrong with flashing the firmware again and again, until Sony release an update.

I hope this helps.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
I'm a really big fan of the look and feel of this phone, but I have noticed an alarming issue. It reminds me of the original HTC One that only had 1GB of RAM.

If I test it side-by-side with my OnePlus One, LG G3, or Note 4, I get the same results: Clearing all apps from memory and then systematically opening the same apps on both phones, if I multitask back to any of them on the Moto X, they have to completely reload. Every Chrome page reloads, too. I have also noticed that Nova launcher redraws with regularity, even when I check the option to force it to stay in memory.

My question is: Was it this bad on 4.4.4? Or is it a Lollipop issue? Because I updated to 5.0 right out of the box and if rolling it back will fix this, I'm all for it. There's no excuse for apps reloading this frequently on a modern smartphone with 2GB of RAM.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
That's a Lollipop issue. No such problems on KitKat.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
Thanks, dude. Looks like I'll be rolling back.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Yep, no prob. That's why all my devices are still on KK.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
Flashed back to Kitkat. Memory management is definitely worse on 5.0, but even 4.4.4 kills apps faster than it should. Even with 1GB available most of the time, apps have to refresh much more often than they should.

Testing Methodology:

Side-by-side with OnePlus One

Open the same 7 apps on both phones (Dialer, Feedly, Reddit Sync Pro, Chrome to androidcentral.com, camera, Nine email client, messaging)

Cycle back and forth between apps using multitasking button on both phones

Observe app reload instances

Results: The OPO NEVER reloads anything. My Moto X will be fine for the first 3 or 4 apps, then it will reload the app completely, including androidcentral.com on Chrome. And if I have multiple tabs open in Chrome, it's worse. Yes, the OPO has 3GB of RAM, but there is still 1GB free on the Moto X when I perform this test, so there's no reason it should be actively killing the apps that quickly.

That being said, it is markedly better than on 5.0. Nova launcher NEVER redraws now, whereas it did constantly before. And I was never even able to cycle between two apps without one of them reloading. Still, I wish it handled memory a little better. This is eerily similar to the issue that plagued the original HTC One and it drove me to sell that phone.

I'm not here to bag on this phone. I'm a huge fan. I just want people to be informed.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_myk:
Actually WOW. I made same comparison with N5 running 5.0.1. And Moto X is worse.. I'm surprised nobody noticed that fact earlier or in the reviews. If L on X is worse than KK I am definitely not updating. Love that phone, it's such a bummer that memory management is so aggressive.. But it's behavior on KK is little bit wired and different than L. Apps running in the background like for example last pass, are always there. And on L those were the ones to kill in the first place.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
Thanks for confirming. Usually when I post something like this, people reply and tell me I'm crazy or that their phone "multitasks fine".

Assuming that it's intentional, the only reason I can think Moto would do this is for battery life reasons (so nothing is running in the background draining), since it has a smaller battery. The other possibility is that they did it for the Moto G, which has 1GB of RAM and then just used the same image for both phones for the sake of consistency.

Either way, it's disappointing, especially after using the OPO and seeing the difference side-by-side. Really love this phone, but this bothers me more than it should.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCuda:

Is this supposed to be fixed in 5.1?

I'm surprised not to see more posts about this issue. I've been noticing on my own phone that whenever I launch chrome or Google maps it tends to kill anything else that's running in the background (pocket casts, swipe pad, smart lock, stock launcher, etc.) it basically makes for a pretty unpleasant experience. Does anyone know if this is supposed to be fixed in 5.1?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grubber24:
I can confirm this issue too. Just to add more monitoring tool when you want to check the memory when such thing happens: developer options>>process stats>>duration 1 day>>click on the green bar and note the timing for which the memory was critical. I think the system deems the memory to be critical when it passes 1gb and starts to kill apps in the background. It never used to be like this on 4.4.4.

Please help contribute if you have any knowledge about using these stats.

Edit: i also noticed that during the time the memory was critical, the battery level dropped like a stone from 65%-55%. So i think its all also connected to the battery consumption being too much at times.
