[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sticksnstems:
Hello, I recently bought a brand new Xperia Z3 Compact in December of 2014. Last week I accidentally kneeled on it while it was in my pocket and this created a purple blotch on my screen. I contacted Sony for a repair but they said because I have unlocked the boot-loader they will not even evaluate it for a repair. I figured that I had voided my warranty but sony would atleast repair it at cost? Apparently not, their customer service is beyond pathetic. I have insurance that does cover accidental hardware issues so I wasn't worried. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to get it fixed since Sony will not, I have tried fixing phones like this before only making things worse so I wouldn't trust myself for the repair anyways. Should I call my insurance company and see what can be done? Im having trouble finding a third party that will repair my phone in the U.S. The phone still works fine, its just annoying and Id rather it be fixed since its fairly new. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Im not sure if calling the insurance company yet and explaining to them what happened is appropriate yet.

My USB cable is not recognized by any OS like Ubuntu or Windows... [adb devices results in no devices] instead of installing the drivers and even updating the drivers... USB IS NOT RECOGNIZED EVEN IN FAST-BOOT MODE... Please tell me if there is any way to unbrick it?

I've tried changing USB cable this doesn't work...

I CAN CHARGE MY MOBILE BY USB/ CHARGER...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Taha Haq:
can you explain a little bit more what do you mean by bricked

if no rom is booting for you then you can use this guide to recover your phone

thanks for the guide.. I've already recovered nand by following your guide... and my Pico is usable.. I'm running cm 9 rom and it works perfectly but still USB is not working... I read in HTC desire forum that to fix USB, mtd0.img should be flashed... can u provide me some help?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Taha Haq:
since i no longer own this phone

i can only recommened you to go to recovery and check if usb is mounting from there or change your rom

There's white spotting appeared all over the back of my htce one m8 I've done some research and can't find any solutions to solve it.

The phone hasn't been dropped or exposed to any water etc.

Straight in a case from New.

I've tied cleaning it with a few things such as glass cleaner(as seen on another forum) but am scared of damaging the metal

Any suggestions are much appreciated
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roshi69:
Pictures

I've attached 3 images of the spotting.

There is no texture or anything to the marks. almost looks like the gunmetal grey colour is away and plain metal spots are visible.

Anyone else on here had similar issues?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I've seen this reported by 3 other users on the following thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2792330

One user attributes this to the case or grit inside the case. But I'm not sure about that. I'd say its a defect with the finish, and not a very common one. Is the device still under warranty?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roshi69:
Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do anything about it as I don't have the receipt (due to purchasing second hand) so guessing there's nothing I can do with warranty
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .Ryker:
If you don't have a warrenty then thats correct. I have the same issue but thats cause I've dropped my phone a fair amount of times and its all scratching of the finish as said before. You could paint over it :o

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Could be corrosion? Moisture /humidity while in a case?

Just a thought.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Or some kind of spray cleaner or hair product got mist on it and reacted with the finish.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tej XFire:
Glass Cleaners should get your job done. Spray a small amount on a soft clean cloth and wipe the dotted area. If it doesn't go away, wrap the cloth over your finger nail and remove the spot,by scratching it with your nail.

Hope it helps you.

Hello all please help me. I have looked thru all the treads and I have found nothing that will help me. I have tried all methods of rooting that are listed and have not yet found one that will help. with the exception of using adb shell. I have never had to use this to root. as stated in title I have a droid ultra. version 24.3.7 obake_verizon, 4.4.4, Kernel 3.4.42-g845377b-00002-ge8e2fe0, build number SU6-7. my phone can not be found by rsd. I have searched for hours thru many forums and I have found nothing that can get this thing to root. I do have my unlock code but not another sim to test it. If this has been asked before I do apologize after searching for so long I got lost on where I have and have not looked. if you know of where it is posted just reply with the link and ill try it. if I have to use adb then I will have to learn but with the help of other members I have always been able to have a rooted phone. So MANY thanks to all that have helped me in the past. Thank you in advance.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osucowboy96:
1. Unlock your phone

2. Install TWRP custom recovery

3. Reboot into recovery and tell it to install SU when it asks

That's it. It will require you using adb at least to unlock. After that you should be able to do the rest from the phone.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teerout:
just curious, where did you get your unlock code?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poolplaya79:
Simunlock.net teerout
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teerout:
ok, you have a sim unlock code. that should allow you to take the phone from one carrier to another (vzw -> att) that will not reflect on your ability to root your device. carrier (sim) unlock and root/ bootloader unlock are separate.

and with 4.4.4 on your droid, your stuck with me and the others with no root.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poolplaya79:
Teerout I wanted to add that I got the Sim unlock from there. I have not unlocked the boot loader. As of yet. Hope to accomplish in the am
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poolplaya79:
Sorry for the last post. It Did not update your comment. I guess I will be buying another phone or waiting.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
If you paid for a sim unlock code, I'm afraid you wasted your money. The phone is already sim unlocked (all Verizon phones are).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alainalemany:
Hello XDA.

Here's the thing. I have an HTC One M8 from AT&T which I want to unlock, but also I wanna S-OFF it because I like to play (safely) with it making it a developer edition or even a GPE. The thing is I don't wanna spend much money, so it's unlocking (~15 USD) or S-OFF it (25 USD) and then be able to simunlock it for free with two options so far:

Super CID

Universal SIM unlock

I wanna think the best idea is to purchase Sunshine, S-OFF my phone and then try one of those two options. I just need some feedback from someone who has tried them to ensure they're 100% effective and I wont need to end to purchase an unlock code.

Anyway, thanks in advance and best regards.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Nothing is ever a sure thing. And recent hboots have patched the SIM unlock exploit, as well as sunshine s-off. What hboot number?

I'm not personally SIM unlocked. But it seems from the SIM unlock thread, results were fairly positive, at least on older hboot numbers. Again, nothing is every certain; and that goes for the paid methods as well (although most services typically won't charge unless you can unlock).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alainalemany:
Thanks for answer.

My HBOOT version is 3.16.0.0000

Best regards.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That's the original (phone's release) hboot version. So I'd say that sunshine s-off should work; and chances of a successful SIM unlock are very good.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alainalemany:
Thank you so much. I'll tell you how it goes.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] thebluecoat:
XDA,

Recently bought an AT&T S4 with hopes to unlock it and use my T-Mobile SIM in it. I've done some reading and noticed native wifi tether was removed from the rom although it was in 4.3 and below. What I need in particular is to know if there are any roms, or apps that would allow me to have unlimited wifi tethering, provided I have truly unlimited phone data?

I currently use a T-Mobile Note 4 and the rom I'm using has "unrestricted wifi tethering mod" built in. Which allows for unlimited tethering. Is there a way I could do this on the S4 through rom or app?

Appreciate it in advance.

[Samsung Gear S] mr.purple:
Hi,

Does anyone now a way to block certain numbers on the Gear S?

Maybe an application that can do this?

I always use the blocking mode on my S5.

When I leave work, only family and friends can call me. Workcontacts and unknown numbers go to voice mail and get replied to when the next working day starts.

With the Gear S, the calls that get blocked by the phones blocking mode still come trough to the Gear S.

The only thing I can find is the "don't disturb mode", but in that mode nobody can contact me.

Thanks.

even worse with agni 4.3.7

tested agni 2.3.9 - fully booted - testing for bugs

[LG Optimus G Pro] hawkwind212:
Why do you want to increase the system space for? One great thing about e980 IMO Compare to my previous phone is that you don't have to move any file from the system storage to the SD card, e980 does that automaticaly. But if you just want to do it, I guess you have to use app like the fx file manager, root explore, or titanium backup to remove the files that you don't want from the system directory.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydroxymoron:
Samsung Galaxy S4 stock roms support EXFAT on external sdcards (the cards mount just fine).

However, I would like to know if the external sdcard encryption, featured in Samsung stock roms as opposed to aosp roms, also supports EXFAT

I tested the encryption on a EXFAT formatted 2GB microsd card. It didn't work, but this is probably due to the fact that it does not make sense to use EXFAT on a 2GB card. I haven't been able to test on 64GB or 128GB cards yet because I do not own one of these.

what can i do in this case ?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Tesmond:
I have a dual boot Android / Windows teclast. When running android the battery drain when the screen is off is minimal, however the same cannot be said of the Windows side. When running windows the battery drain is terrible.

I have run a powercfg /sleepstudy and the top 5 offenders are green, it states it is in connected standby for around 97% of the time but I am receiving something between 900 -1100 mW battery drain, which is around 4-5% battery loss per hour.

I performed a factory reset and did not install any applications, but the behaviour is the same. Windows documentation suggests that the drain should be nearer 150 mW or less.

Does anyone have any ideas what I can try. Technet suggests it is a hardware / driver issue, and I was wondering if there was any further diagnostics I can do or if anyone has any solutions to this?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Sushant Rohan:
Sir , I agree with the technet. There may be something in the android which drains battery a lot. A driver, app or with the stock ROM itself
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Tesmond:
Hi, the problem is not in android, the battery drain seems fine in android, but in Windows it is terrible. This implies to me that the hardware is not faulty but that the problem is to do with the software in windows.

Just hoping someone with more knowledge of this might have a solution.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Sushant Rohan:
Windows is made for PC. The kernel in Windows assumes that it has unlimited energy source while the kernel in Android understands that it has less energy given

This is dual boot x98 air II (no 3g). While running windows 8 for a while during charging, pc will shut down in hibernate mode with SOC error hot. This only happens when soc it around 56C and plugged in. I have ran cpu load on the window side unplugged(not charging) trying to get it to shut down and and would not. As soon as I plugged in the charger, it never fails that its shut down 5 seconds up to could be 1 min. The table is out of the box new from 05.20.2015. I have not problem with the android side failing. I have been in contact with the seller for support, seller state the teclast support has no clue about the problem and I am to shipped it back. I am looking to see if any body else has had this problem and what was the outcome was, before I shipped it back.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] king dedede:
Hi, I'm suffering the same issue as the person above, every time the tablet is charging, if I try to open an application or do something, the tablet will shut down. I noticed, however, if I do nothing, it seems to keep on.

I also recieved it this week and I'm on the period to return it, but after paying customs and everything I wouldn't like to have to do that. Other than that the tablet works fine (a bit too fast battery draining, I would say).

Any ideas on what the problem could be?
