[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
First of all, if you wiped internal storage, you did something that was not in the instructions.

Second, you don't need the stock recovery file on the phone at all to flash it. It goes in the fastboot folder on your PC (wherever fastboot.exe located).

If you are referring to TWRP asking you to root, that is normal anytime you use TWRP with an unrooted ROM. Just ignore it.

We don't mind helping you (I personally enjoy helping others), and we don't mind you coming back. Just make sure you try your best to understand the steps, follow them closely, and if you come back, its for a good reason.

Holla Guys,

Recently I updated my Moto E in lollipop 5.0.2 and now I tried Sending some files to other device using Superbeam. It was great it sent the Files like a charm.

But now I tried to receive files from Another mobiles using Superbeam it says "Direct Mode Failed.".

Help Me out with this.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenish5688:
use xender or ES Explorer instead

was using ES Explorer when I was on kitkat. it worked like charm. after lollipop ES started dropping speed and crashing during data transfer.

started using xender after suggestion from friend. it works marvelously. only downside is that it changes wifi hotshot access name and make it open network. you have to close your data to prevent someone from using your hotspot. otherwise it's wonderful. I know superbeam uses different method by wifi direct but all I m saying is that this two are good alternatives.

/does anybody know if Orange are planning to upgrade to WM 6 on theSVP M1300?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ccezar2004:
ask them (orange)!... and why do you need this considering the number of rom's you have here.... :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] andyd358:
Because i have only had the phone a week on contract from orange and i dont really want to feck around with it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ccezar2004:
i thought the same till i stayed a few days arround here... than it is easy... f$#k the warranty.. what can go wrong... and anyway i think the guys arround here now much more than the ones from orange...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MarcWhittle:
me 2! Ive had my M3100 from Orange about 3 weeks, and knew absolutely nothing about flashing and upgrading. Now here i am with my trusty M3100 running WM6 Black 2.5 with latest Radio etc!! Spend a day or 2 reading threads on this site, these guys all really know their stuff. Everything u need to know is here, u just got to look and have a bit of faith!! :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sadlybrokeboy:
Gents,

I notice some of you haved flashed from Orange phones (mark you in particular) - have any of you lost (and possibly got back?) you MMS folder settings?

Thanks,

Matt

Theres another topic that will fix that one....

Just copy the orange cab file to your device and run it and it will restore all your orange GPRS and MMS settings for you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sadlybrokeboy:
Thank you perca - I've got the dial-up and stuff back, but I can't seem to access the MMS folders in Messaging...unless of course I'm being a complete numpty and it's move somewhere else! ;)

Assuming you are on Orange UK contract (not Pay as you go), the following cab file I created DOES work and installs MMS settings also

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1200676#post1200676

ps. I think it is a fair comment to say that I very much doubt Orange will be releasing a WM6 ROM for the M3100. New ROM=new problems=need to train staff=more costs...... you get the idea.

pps. This site is better than any customer service or help you will ever get from Orange
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sadlybrokeboy:
Thanks rabdo - I have it a go and still no folders! :o

Here's what I see at the messaging prompt!

Any ideas?

And many thanks for your help!

Matt
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rabdo:
I guess somehow the whole MMS system has been deleted according to your screenshot. I suspect you may have no choice but to do a hard reset and start over. Even before using my cab file, the MMS folder should be there with default settings. I can't think of anything else it could be.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sadlybrokeboy:
See now this is the odd thing - the MMS folder is there kinda - I can see if via SPB diary but just can't seem to get the settings etc. elsehwere! :(

Hi Gents, which ROM do you recommend for Orange users?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ns73:
Thats Easy - Heres what I chose for ORANGE UK 3G.

I think Orange on my M3100 was bootloader 1.04 originally and SPL 1.09 but Im not exact on that !

Black 2.5 (Fast, stable w office apps and messenger, lean)

Radio 1.40 (not 1.41) enables HSDPA on Orange UK properly. Loads of battery life and better reception on 3G (1.41 less battery life)

Search for cabs for voicemail fix to enable VM indicator properly

Replaced welcomehead96.png in windows folder with another splash screen (the official Windows Mobile 6 one)

Added fix for record button via cab file

Added operator cab for Orange to get GPRS/Internet/MMS settings.

then I did POF's Unlocking SIM program, this downgraded radio and had to reflash to 1.40 afterwards. It added Olipro 1.40 as SPL. IPL 1.01

Did it in this order above, and all ok.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sadlybrokeboy:
Percz,

Sorted it - tried a hard reboot but did NOT restore my email settings via SPB Backup and all is now OK!

Many thanks for your help!

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ProQuiz:
Just wondering if you will be getting rid of your Xperia phone now that Xperia is gone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kernald:
Xperia is not gone yet. Even if Sony sells the division, we don't know what will change.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zetrri:
Why would we sell the phone just because of that?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Dsteppa:
Now that it's gone??

O really is it!? Source!

It's been only rumors and you're acting as if anything conclusive has been said.

And even if Xperia is gone, so what. We're on XDA where we can make our own ROM's. Many of us payed +400$ for their devices, it's not as if we have another 400+ just laying around to buy another phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] difto:
Ok so following your reasoning I should get rid of my Nokia 3210?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ProQuiz:
I was just wondering because there could be a lack of future updates/support and whatnot depending on how and where the division ends up. This is my first Android experience and don't want to mess with custom ROMs and stuff (at least for now).
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] XQC:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Deleted member 3493119:
No, of course not! I would not sell this phone as there's no better option from any other manufacturers at this format, and I really like the phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pleko:
No reasons until it's working and specially if the community is still active on it. In my optinion one of the best phone ever.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pricey2009:
Oh snap I best sell my house quick because the brick company has gone.. Doh!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] difto:
Sony said the phone will get the Lollipop update, in addition an Xperia Z4 should be released (and the last one according to the rumor) that mean that for at a least a year updates should come. Then even if it is not updated to the next major release of Android (after Lollipop) and the community do not make a custom ROM it will still be fine with upcoming apps for another year or so. Also the Z3 uses widely spread components (Qualcomm SOC) so it should not be that are to adapt a custom ROM for it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vikingsail:
Apparently the community find nothing valuable in discussing this.

I personally find it very heartbreaking of this news from Sony.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pleko:
heartbreaking, yes because Sony is the only one to make a phone like the Z3C but that news isn't a reason to change. The Z3C is or is not a good phone for you when you brought it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vikingsail:
That's exactly what I'm taking about. Sony is one of the few manufacturers who doesn't do much sh1t like curving screen/ultra saturated color/huge display which results in half day battery life. These crap are good for catching eyes and advertising. But still basically just pure crap for common use. And surprisingly those manufacturers are selling millions of cheap plastic crappie devices with marketing. That's the most heartbreaking part of this whole situation. I almost lost faith in humanity. Damn.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Tracy1988:
"WILL be getting rid of your Xperia phone NOW"

Hmm... I don't quite understand the future and present tense meant together in the same sentence.

Surely everyone WILL get rid of their phones at one point or another. Nothing lasts forever and I'm sure there will be many phone in the future that everyone of us will like better than the Z3C.

With the current technology and design available, the Z3C isn't combined of all the best. Weak construction with plastic frame, poor display quality, weak water proofing flaps and worst of all is Sony ecosystem bloatwares which have users constantly connected to Sony store while already being connected to Google store, for the same thing at the same price. The Z3C system size together with bloatwares is almost twice as large as vanilla Android. Another headache with DRM keys for the mediocre performance camera on TA partition when unlock the bootloader.

For the NOW, I would get rid of it ASAP if it wasn't rooted. I'm sure in a few months, there will be some better phones.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] AM Radio:
i would sooner get rid of my swimsuit supermodel rocket scientist girlfriend than this phone.

this is the first Android phone i've owned where i didn't feel a compelling reason to immediately slap a mod on or otherwise tinker with, especially after my experience with Samsung phones. (well, besides the volume of the loudspeaker, which i expect to fix after i root.) Sony's skin has some really useful, well though out touches, so i've left it stock. i have no issues with the camera, and no cracked glass or other manufacturing faults. and after all the plastic crap that is a typical Android phone, the industrial design is really refreshing and attractive. i like the walkman, movie, and album apps (again, much better than Samsung or HTC equivalents), and the BATTERY LIFE IS INSANE. not having to charge for four, five, six days? AWESOME.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jerverg:
I won't. Everything stock and im perfectly happy.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Dsteppa:
Heartbreaking news from Sony???? Nothing conclusive has been said and nothing has been said at all by Sony. This topic is only based on speculations and rumors.

Sent from my D5803
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jarayn:
Mine is going for sure. As soon as S6 comes out (assuming no glaring faults in that)

Its an ugly little phone for starters, the construction choices are poor, glass is not cool. I would much prefer nexus 5/moto x plastic. mUch better.

Camera/camera software is terrible.

Battery is ... at best ok. Using it just as a phone, calls and texts and a bit of whatsapp. Its really good. Using anything else, games, maps etc its awful.

Screen... not bad. Amoled is better though.

Since the new root I have gone from I dont like it to its not a bad little thing. But its not enough.

Im not surprised they are pulling the pin to be honest.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] charliebigpot:
Sorry to hear this, but are you sure you are not using an actual brick as phone?

If you have issues with games and maps (maps!) I think you should get your unit checked, might be that it's faulty. On battery life you don't have to take my word, just read any review site that you want and they will tell you that it's among the best (if not the best) that you can get now - get your device checked buddy!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tofu-:
will probably ditch it for the s6 before the value drops too much.

great phone, but i have the upgrade itch
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jarayn:
There's nothing wrong with my phone buddy. I just don't hide my head in the sand like you and others.

It's certainly got good battery life for phone only related tasks but when you switch to smart phone stuff it dies super quick. And yes maps, navigation is pretty much the highest battery use program you can run on a phone. So while I expect it to chew the battery I also expect longer life.

You don't have to get defensive. If your happy then cool. Enjoy it.

I'm reasonably happy too. It was pretty cheap and fits nicely in my pocket.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] charliebigpot:
Let's agree to disagree

Ok, it seems to me that we're all happy then :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Dreamslacker:
Hrmm.. You seem like you've got a lemon or are expecting too much out of the unit.

Aesthetics is a matter of preferences so I don't see any issues or merits with that argument. I do agree that the use of glass for the rear doesn't quite seem like a good fit but I reckon that's just the design language they went for.

As for the camera, I've not had any issues with it. If anything, I'm consistently taking better shots than with an S4 Active, S5 or Note 2. The interface boils down to personal preferences and also the different modes that are used.

The battery life is actually very remarkable if you consider the size of the phone (you obviously can't squeeze the same battery as used in say a S5 into the Z3 Compact).

With the same usage patterns, I would have been down to ~14% on my Xperia S (similar sized phone) after a 14 hour day out at work but I'll still have about 50% - 70% on the Z3C. I never had to recharge the phone anytime during a day out whereas I can't say the same for the Xperia S. My colleague who uses the S5 carries a spare battery around as a security blanket but I've never had to carry my powerbank out. The Z3C just turned it into a white elephant.

As for whether I'll ditch the phone anytime soon - No. It is a great little phone as far as I'm concerned. I waited 6 months out of contract just to get it precisely because it fills a particular niche. I'm not quite sure what I'll change to when the time comes around for a replacement but it's going to be tough on me.

Unless another manufacturer makes a phone with a decent ~4.5" display (at least 720P), with the return button on the left (or at least the option to change it if it's OSD based), with comparable or better battery life & camera, I don't foresee myself ditching this phone till it really goes kaput and I can't diy a repair.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pipspeak:
Why would I get a new phone after only 4 months? Whoever does that either has a brick or too much money to burn IMO. I'll probably keep it for a year or two, as I do all my phones and especially because there's no sign that any other manufacturer is gonna come out with anything as compact or with as good battery life. The only downside to the Xperia line potentially disappearing is that resale value will take a hit.

And speaking of battery life.... whoever was complaining that GPS- and processor-intensive stuff drains the battery quickly just won the "Doh" award for most obvious statement. Sony cannot defy the laws of physics. This phone uses the same core components as pretty much every other phone out there and it's not like Sony got special versions that consume less power. What Sony did, and other manufacturers apparently have not done, is optimize the phone so average use gets insane battery life. I've never had a phone that gets 6-8 hours of screen time and 1-2 hours of calls on a single charge (well, not since 2005 anyway). AFAIK there is no other phone out there that comes close.

I agree the camera is kinda sucky, but that's mainly the software's fault IMO so in theory it might be improved. I also agree that the double-glass design is not the best idea and all the ports and flaps and buttons around the edge means the available cases all pretty much suck and the phone is not the most svelte-looking thing. I wouldn't go so far as to call it ugly though.

But the size is perfect. This thing can easily be operated one-handed without fear of dropping it (I can operate a 5" phone one handed but at times it's teetering on the edge of my hand). It fits in all my pockets. It has a lanyard hole. It's the perfect size IMO and I'm depressed just thinking about having to go to a 5+ inch phone with stupidly high, battery-munching resolution next time I upgrade.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Evil_enc:
even if Sony WOULD sell the smartphone devision at some point, why would something change? the investor buying it would have a high interest in keeping the customers happy... Don't worry too much. I think nothing will really change
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] biochoker:
OP is displayed to be from Dubai, UAE.... Just saying :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cronis:
If you can find me a phone with the same battery life, a better camera and in the same size range (preferably better shaped, the 2013 Moto X was ideal). Something running a clean Android with no bloat would be awesome too. Sure I would be looking at switching phones if there was something like that.

Even after being released for some time now there is still no real competitor to the Z3 compact.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vikramkhalsa:
I don't have a z3c (I own a 2013 Moto x) But I completely agree with that last sentence. The z3c would be my upgrade.. thinking about it but with all the stuff about Xperia line dying and cracking glass, I'm not very confident. But there aren't any other choices!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pipspeak:
The cracking glass issue is a bit overblown IMO. I've had my Z3c since November and it's survived many a tumble onto hard surfaces without ill effect (just this morning it fell out of a coat pocket and bounced down a couple of wooden stairs). I'm sure some people have had problems, but I bet it's a tiny minority.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] belayson:
Looks like there may not be a need to start a bonfire w/ our z3 compacts (/sarcasm) just yet, Sony VP categorically denies the division is up for sale "He was not saying, at all ‘we are up for sale’. Categorically, we are not up for sale," http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news...futes_rumours_mobile_division_is_up_for_sale/

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maheshus88:
HI,

So I am thinking of getting nexus 5 .

I don't do much of a gaming, I want a solid stable cellphone with good battery life.

if not nexus 5 then which cellphone would you suggest around same price range os 25k ?

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5638945:
hmm, nexus 5 is still a very good buy. battery life is pretty solid without gaming. i dont know much about your money but you can buy M8 or G3, maybe?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingu11:
You could get the OnePlus One 64gb for 22k or the 16gb for 19k. Although I prefer the nexus 5, OnePlus One is pretty good too. You'll need an invite tho
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I think on Tuesdays you can buy OPO's without an invite now. But I also prefer the N5. I had a OPO but sold it for another N5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
I disagree, the battery life on the nexus 5 is the main weakness of this phone. You have to lower every setting basically to get more SOT. And your mobile signal has to be strong plus turn off wifi and location services when you're not using them
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maheshus88:
HTC M8 and G3 are expensive here.

Nexus 5 however is around 25k and thats my budget.

I am using oneplus right now. Want to get rid of it.

I don't find it smooth enough like ASOP and the phone is extremely fragile ( I am too scared to use it as daily driver ).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
I'll trade you my white Nexus 5 32gb for your oneplus one
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I know that the general consensus is the the N5's battery sucks, but my experience has been vastly different. I have no issue making it through the day with around 4-5 hours SOT. That's a-ok in my book.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
You're one of the lucky ones. I've learned to live with the battery life, since November 2013. I have multiple chargers everywhere and 2 power banks to keep this device topped up
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maheshus88:
hahaha,

Just returned the Opo..

4-5 hours SOT is good, isn't it ?

all I want is for the phone to run throughout the day with my data on..

This is scary ?

I probably should stay away from this device.

I once used xiaomi mi3 with asop kitkat rom. The rom was the fastest thing I ever saw in any cellphone.

I compare all other phone with it so even opo was a disappointment to me.

The only thing that will satisfy my hunger is Nexus Devices with pure android os, I guess.

which phone would you suggest ?

I want good battery with fast, smooth experience ( I don't do gaming so frame drop during gaming doesn't matter ).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
Nexus 5 could be sufficient for you. Maybe a moto X 2014. Lastly, I would suggest Nexus 6 to be safe if it's in your budget.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Agreed on the Moto X. I have one as well as the N5, and the X is certainly an upgrade. It's an AMAZING piece of tech.
[LG G2 Mini] Just_John:
Hello,

I'm losing my wits, hope you can help me..

My G2 mini (new) worked flawlessly for a couple of weeks, then suddenly lost all network signal. After a few days, thinking it was a software issue, i unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone, and installed CM11. An hour later - full GSM signal. For a few hours.. Since then, i've been having random x hours with, y hours without GSM signal, with absolutely no reason for the changes (phone laying on the table, absolutely no user input).

It might very well be a hardware issue, but my google-fu failed me big time, all i seem to find are GPS issues (which is not the case here, especially since i don't need GPS on this particular device).

Here's a breakdown:

- The phone originally worked with no signal loss (original OS)

- Unlocked bootloader, rooted, installed CM11

- Signal works for a few hours every day (random pattern), loses it just as miraculously.

- Device finds no networks when using the in-built search functions, but i receive no error message. When using Automatic registration, the phone displays: "Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later".

- My SIM card works fine in my D802, same issues occur on the D620 with a different SIM card (which also works without fault in the D802), so it's definitely a phone issue.

Questions: Anyone have any idea what's going on? Could it be a baseband flaw? Is there a way to (re)install the baseband, to eliminate any possible software issues?

I have disassembled the case, and all pins have wear marks embedded, which means there's plenty of contact, as far as i can see.

Thanks in advance, guys!
