Actual dimensions of the case versus a naked phone.

The more I research, I might go with the Hyperion or Anker. This thing seems beasty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] terpin32:
0.8 inches is 20.32 with the case and battery

0.3 inches is 7.62 millimeters without the case

the phone is a beast but ill lug it around for the battery life anyday
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Hammerfest:
Loving mine so far, had just about 2 months so far.

First few weeks, about an hour of calls a day, lots of texting, and a YouTube 30min video here/there (so not heavy usage), managed to make it 5 days, 6 if you count the day below 5% with that horrid ZERO screen brightness... ya, I want that to die!

Get about 3 days of solid usage, watched some 720p/1080p TV shows (the entire series) for a day to see what I could get out of it...

I want to try the Battery benchmark in one of those benchmark software's but I use it too much to let it do its thing :D

EDIT: Ultra Power Saving mode said 19 days from full charge!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] fuzzysb:
First let me tell you where i am at. I was running Farias WM6 Real Thing Rom, but there were a few bugs and a lot of junk programs i didn't want.

so i used the Faria ROMkitchen to flash my rom, which went fine, the phone flashed and everything was ok in use, however i left DRM selected which i dont want by mistake. and upon further examination the MS office icons are not in the programs menu, but the pword and pexcel files are in the windows directory and do load fine when executed. but i dont know why this was the case when i did have office selected.

and the major problem is when i connect via usb, activesync recognises the connection. but doesn't ask to create a partnership, but goes directly to guest profile. (I am using Activesync 4.5) and when i try to connect to my vista machine with Mobile Device Center i just recieve an error when the connection is active. I cannot even use the phone for push email with my exchange as i am unable to install my self signed certificate as it states it is unsuccessful when i attempt to install and gives me the classic microsoft helpdesk advice asking me to reboot :).

so i tried to run through the kitchen again de-selecting DRM and reflashing, but when it tries the flash i recieve error ERROR [212]: FILE CREATE The update utility can not create the requested file. Please check your update utility. so i reset to the bootloader and tried the flash again and recieved error 300 saying i needed an updated Rom Upgrade Utility.

I then tried to install the Tmobile Ship Rom but this would not work as the upgrade utility reports that it cannot connect to the phone with various connection codes even in the bootloader.

My Wizard is a G3 device and has been CID unlocked and i have installed many a rom on this phone.

please help as i am on a malfunctioning WM6 rom that i cannot connect to via activesync and can only use for making calls only.

any help much appreciated, i have had occasional problems flashing in the past but i could resolve these easilly but this is leaving me stumped, it seems like the sync portion of the phone is not working correctly so i cannot downgrade to my original tmobile uk rom.

help help help

u try flashing on a different OS?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] fuzzysb:
Update after much screwing around, i did try flashing on XP and also Vista but no go. interestingly i have finally managed to push through the oriiginal update from tmob but it was achieved by uninstalling and re-installing activesync a few times and booting into the bootloader its now upto 80% and running. another observation that is wierd, the WM6 rom that was installed was missing cpanel icons like power and backlight. i will upgrade using the kitchen one last time and see if it goes ok this time.

here's my dilemma i got a next book tablet i replaced the lcd and digitizer with what was told to me to be original parts. the lcd works flawless. the digitizer is on the other hand working but reverse axis. is there a way or an app to help invert to where i need. if i have to root or build i am willing to learn if someone is will to teach. to give a better description of touch screen actions. if i hold the tab vertical (wider than high) the top touches are exact opposite of lcd. if i rotate tablet right is left. left is right top is top. only part of digitizer not working correctly.

thanks for all your help.

Hello. Have any of you experienced total signal loss? (The triangle in the status bar is hollow/empty). This happens seemingly on random and it "fixes" itself in a minute or so, and I can make calls and have mobile data.

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rchard:
I have been also facing this issue lately with different roms. In my case, I loose the network and have to reboot multiple times to get the network up. Sometimes because of this, my phone shuts off. Not sure what is happening.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevessvt:
I flashed Dirty Unicorns a few days ago, and signal would drop every few seconds. Turns out the APN was set for MetroPCS, changed it to T-Mobile IPv6 and it fixed it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rchard:
I found my issue is related to my network operator. I am not sure why this happening, everytime I reboot or shut it down, I loose the signal and it takes many attempt's to get a connection. It could either be lollipop bug, network compatibility or issue with the device. Will find it out on Monday.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsminor:
same here

I've been dealing with this same thing for two days. I have Sprint.

I was on Chroma and traveling. I noticed I lost data during my drive. Once I got to the location, my wife had full 3g and I had nothing. I thought it must have been from dirty flashing an update. I wiped and flashed again chroma with the sprint.zip for apn. Still didn't work. I occasionally would connect to 3g but would lose it randomly for long periods of time. I ended up walking around with my verizon hotspot to have data.

I just flashed stock and I've been waiting 10 minutes for it to try to activate. I'm hoping it will work this time. What a mess this phone has become.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rchard:
It seems like it's a lollipop bug. I tested my sim on a different phone and multiple times, I rebooted without any issues. I wonder if Google messed with lollipop or is it Motorola.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAW_JOK3R:
Yeah, even if there the signal bar gets empty, it doesn't interrupt in incoming or outgoing calls :) Even mobile data works perfectly fine. For me it comes to normal after 5-6 seconds :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matejilic:
For me it does interrupt calls and I don't have mobile data. I really hope its a lollipop issue. I guess they can add that as number 1500 to the bug list...

I am currently experiencing that exact same problem no matter which rom I am using. It is really becoming a PITA. Spent 950$ for this POS phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvveith:
Not a lollipop issue.

Few things to explain if you really want to find out what is wrong. Who is your carrier? Or you running stock or modified ROM? Are you rooted? Giving information like this may help you get to the problem. If it were a lollipop issue, don't you think everyone or at least a lot more people would be experiencing the same thing and posting about it???? Come on guys, be a little more precise when posting issues with said device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phillis:
Hi,

WIth Fido in Canada. As some others have posted, if I choose LTE (recommended) in Preferred Network Type, I lost my connection every 15 minutes for 1 minute. If I set to 3g, all is fine. I tried the sim in my nexus 5, doesn't happen.

Tried CM and some other AOSP customs roms, always have the problem. Also tried different radios., same problem. I will definitely retry with the factory image soon, but I have strong doubts it's the OS. I contacted Google, they are sending me a replacement phone.

It's insulting to shell out 950$CAD for a new phone, have it bug on you, then have them ship you a freaking refurbished device. I have a 64GB midnight blue from the first Canadian run (I was one of the lucky bastards, or unlucky!). Then they wonder why people buy iPhones...yes they are very limited, but at least the damn thing works.

Almost every single Nexus I have purchased has given me problems (4-5-6-7-7(2013)). The only one that has yet to show me problem is the 9, but that was a gift for my mother, so she won't even notice if things go bad. I am definitely done buying a Nexus device when it is released...lol

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pihkal:
Hi there,

I've done it yesterday so I might as well share my experiences with you.

1. Unlock your bootloader if it's still locked, the SGP311 will only boot Sony kernels with a locked bootloader.

If you ever want to relock or revert back to stock: MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR TA PARTITION, it contains the DRM keys!

Unlocking WILL WIPE the ENTIRE tablet!!!!!

2. Download the latest TWRP image and DON'T use the dd command as stated on the TWRP site.

3. Boot your tablet in fastboot mode, make sure all drivers are installed in Windows and copy the TWRP image to the folder that contains fastboot.exe

Open a command prompt (on the pc) go to the fastboot folder and enter "fastboot flash boot twrp_image_name" ,without the "" obviously

4. Enter "fastboot reboot" and it should boot straight into TWRP.

5. Flash CM12, it's great!

Flash Gapps.

(Make sure it's on your tablet before starting this entire procedure)

Enjoy!

PS: This is what worked for me after I've f*cked up my tablet, I'm not responsible for any damage, data loss or wathever.

i will try in a bit, Thanks! if something goes wrong do you mind me messaging you to ask questions? you are the only one who replyed
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pihkal:
No, go ahead but keep in mind I'm no expert, merely an enthusiast.

A few tips before you start:

-Make sure you have Flashtool (By Androxyde) installed and have a working FTF file for your tablet, this saved me when I messed up.

-If it goes wrong, don't panic, as long as the light next to the power button still does stuff (flashes, changes color...) you're fine.

-And most important, try to figure out what went wrong and why by yourself.

Sure, I also opened a thread but figured it out before I got replies. :D

Good luck!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josetheman:
Hi, I have an M8 I converted into GPE. I used stock GPE until November when SkyDragon's Lollipop rom was released and ran SD until last week. I wanted to go back to stock so I ran graffixnyc's 5.01 RUU and everything was fine. Then, I wanted to mess with xposed so I ran it for a few days. I decided to get rid of it so I ran another RUU last night.

However, when I set up my new device Google Now was not brought up in the setup. Additionally, I can no longer swipe from the left to bring up Google Now. The search bar still works, but I cannot enable Google Now. I've tried everything. Clearing app data, cache, booting into safe mode, wiping cache partition, and just now RUU'd again but to no avail. Is there anything you all recommend? Attached are what the Google Settings screens looked like before and after updating the Google app.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Swipe up from the home button. That's what's on my phone. I think swipe from left is only on GPE
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josetheman:
No, you can swipe up from home or from the left.

In any case I did more research and I figured it out. It seems to have been a problem with new phone activations in the last couple of days. You can read more about it here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/help/google-cards-t3042145

[Sony Xperia ZL] bsilvino:
Sony XPERIA ZL C6503 - Android 4.4.4 - firmware 10.5.1.A.0.292

For those who wants to flash this ROM on their Xperia ZL C6506, go ahead, it works like a sharm. I did it on mine that's why I am posting it ;)

1. how to install the newest Android 4.4.4 for Sony XPERIA ZL C6503 (works on C6506)

a) first of all, check your firmware version (if you already have the newest one, you do not need this tutorial)

b) download and install latest Flashtool

c) download also latest Android 4.4.4 for Sony XPERIA ZL (C6503/C6506)

d) paste the ftf file downloaded in step c) to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool

e) open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean instalation and then restore your personal data.

f) turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button

g) after few minutes all is done and your phone gets the new firmware

Please, no responsibility for any damage, loss of data that users may arise in connection with downloading file from xperiadownload.cz, or during the upgrade process.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnubaver:
I have had had several "custom rom flash addictions" to various android models.

I have not been flashing on my Xperia Z1 since i have always have had a feeling there is a bigger risk of breaking the phone.

How big of a difference does a custom rom for the Xperia Z1 make?

Does it get alot smoother and faster?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo120697:
most custom roms will make your device faster and more smooth. There are two sorts of custom roms: Stock based and AOSP Based.

Stock based custom roms are only roms with a modified sony firmware and some extra functions and so on.

AOSP based custom roms (like cyanogenmod) are based on the google AOSP and this roms have nothing in common with the stock sony software.

Roms like cyanogenmod are faster than stock sony android and will give you the possibility to personalize your rom. you can change they way it looks like and also you can tweak your rom with cpu settings and so on. But you will get less battery life than with stock sony android.

P.S. there are many tutorials to flash custom roms, search in honami section and if you follow the tutorials observantly you wont brick your device:)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlAckXpeRia:
The biggest problem of CM and other non-stock based roms is the camera.You lose so much functionality like 4K video, 120fps slo-mo, burst shot and mostly picture quality.But their advantage is the speed, looks and functionality(except camera).

I hope the new lollipop update gets the new camera API.That will change everything(hopefully).
