[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Shahshiminator:
I meant to say for Lollipop 5.0.1. If it was 4.4.4, I would've used it easily (which I eventually tried, but failed either way.).

Thank you for your responses anyway. Much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahac85:
Hi i have a rooted note 3 on kikat 4.4.2. Can i upgrade to lollipop and keep root using mobile Odin or do i have to use pc odin and lose root. I still have Knox 0x0 and don't want it triggered. So what options do i have and if upgrade is possible, is a downgrade possible to? I have a 32gb note 3

Sent from my HTC One_M8
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bling:
Yes u can use mobile Odin just download superuser zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and add it to update slot and flash :D

Edit: downgrade is possible too
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
It's better that you don't update to lollipop atm:

1. Mobile ODIN isn't ready for Lollipop. You can take a look at the description of the APP in Google Play Store:

IMPORTANT NOTICE

: DO NOT USE ON RECENT 4.4 AND 5.0 FIRMWARES YET. WE ARE WORKING ON AN UPDATE.

2.. You will have to root your device again via ODIN/custom recovery and have KNOX 0x1 triggered. Wait to other methods to root your device in lollipop.

3. Downgrade is possible if you don't update the bootloader when you flash Lollipop firmware. You will have KNOX 0x1 if you try to downgrade having lollipop bootloader.

Well, the first post in that tread http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1148290 is a warning from Pof that it will brick your phone. Now you have to buy a new phone.

For those that remember my previous thread was about the DT vs the Saygus V², a lot of you asked when and if it may be coming out. Well it's been confirmed for May 22nd.

Saygus V2 release date set for May 22

I think not a good device as it was exaggerated...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
BAD

5", 1080p, Snapdragon 801 (even with 3GB RAM) is early 2014 specs for a top-tier phone. :confused:

GOOD

It does have stereo speakers, which I wished our Moto Maxx phones had.

Has rear OIS camera, which our Moto Maxx phones SHOULD have, but don't. :rolleyes:

And 3100 mAh battery is pretty good for those "mid tier" specs, as the early 2014 5.5" LG G3 with 1440p, Snapdragon 801 also with 3GB RAM and stereo speakers only has a 3000 mAh battery...

But our Moto Maxx phone has 3900 mAh, and we have Kevlar like this phone has. In fact, the Moto Maxx with ballistic nylon has ballistic nylon + Kevlar.

And we have 5.2", 1440p, Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAm with 64GB storage.

So, other than the stereo speakers and OIS camera, the specs seem to be mostly less than the Moto Maxx XT1225?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
The V² actually has way more features than what you just listed. Look at the original thread.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
I did look the original article, not your thread. That's where I got the Kevlar from, and the stereo speakers, and the OIS rear camera. ;) That's not mentioned in the brief follow up you first posted.

Your thread states specs the original article does not. Did they update some specs?

_____

EDIT: seems like the article linked by Android Authority has a couple of outdated specs.

https://www.saygus.com/v2/

They've upgraded internal memory to 64GB.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
- Front facing 13MP camera with OIS ON THE FRONT!

- Two microSD card slots (of which you CAN boot from them)

- 60 GHz fractal wireless gaming antenna

- The list goes on. Again read the original thread to see all the features it has. You're getting hung up on a proccesor that's barely a year old. It still performs very well and doesn't have overheating issues like the 810 (or so they say the 810 overheats, that's a different topic). My point is this is a very interesting phone and it still seems like a solid device. Also some still like a 1080p screen. Given that content in 4K in not as readily available as Full HD content is. 4K is not a must have for some. Also having a 1080p screen saves on battery (we all know this)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
I will admit at $550 the phone is a little on the expensive side.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rajuabju:
We shall all see on 5/22 what happens; I still have my doubts.

And the 801 processor is now 2 generations behind, not to mention the rest of the specs are no longer 'bleeding edge' but simply "good"

Not saying its going to suck, but its certainly not going to be king of the mountain when it come out.

[MENTION=848587]Nimandroid[/MENTION] I wonder whether or not Sony's Lolipop release will suffer from the same bugs we have seen since the release of Android 5.0x and particularly from the well known memory leak problem which Google has very recently fixed with the release of 5.1 and the upcoming release of 5.1.1. Any information ??

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Nimadroid:
Ok I ask it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Nimadroid:
Sony update the Z Ultra to the 5.0.2 and maybe 5.1

Everyone know android 5 have small bugs

And Sony try to solve It
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Nimadroid:
Oh yea
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Nimadroid:
Also Z ULTRA GPE have lollipop ? but it's stock nexus ui

I cant Thole it whiteout Sony amazing UI
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
@ Nimadroid, how is the battery life in your 5.0.2 Lollipop rom?

As most of us already mentioned, there is a memory leak as well as battery drain in all Lollipop roms.

Scrubbers port is still the best for battery although suffers from battery leak.

What other bugs/issues have been solved? Should we expect longer lasting battery life, possibly better than Kitkat?

Has performance and speed been increased as promised?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kayrowl91:
How about camera2 api? Did sony work on it? Or same with other manufacturers.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Nimadroid:
All things is optimised

Battry is better than 4.4.4

Benchmark is very amazing... ( about 43,000 )

No Memory issue

Camera is very good ( I send a simple pic as test pic)

Baseband updated and network is beter

And more...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
going one by one:

doing what? only with stock apps? android doesn't have any way to fix problematic programs running in the background having locked a core and draining the battery.

doing what? also, again, what sony or any other manufacturer never says up front is that the moment you install *anything*, then it is "nope, not our problem, we are not responsible if firefox ****s everything up, memory and battery", so to say that battery is optimised or whatever, when it is not really in your hands, is misleading. At best.

benchmarks are pointless, very easy to fake and you should be ashamed for even mentioning them. at least for ten years now it is known that companies can and do optimize their software to get great benchmark scores.

Also, 5.0.2 is out... 5.1 is out... What version are we getting, exactly?

Has the content-adaptive backlight option been restored? We had it in the first z ultra rom and it saz soon removed. It is very annoying and distracting to have the brightness fluctuate based on what the screen is showing.

have the sound problems been fixed? The sound has a delay whenever the phone has been silent for a wile and there are frequent clicks and pops.

can it FINALLY play music without clicks and pops?

I am very *very* dissappointed in sony.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Nimadroid:
IT'S MY OWN EXPERIENCE

AND YOU HAVE SOME PROBLEM THAT I NEVER SEEN IN MY ROM

Plz Be careful that lollipop have bug AND NOT SONY :@
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] joulukas:
Well I saw imporvements of battery, overall experience and antutu score around 42-43k also in Official CM12, so they are probably general improvements to the Android, that Nimadroid is seeing.

The clicking noises while listnening music is also something it dont have any of the roms I have tried (including stock).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
nimandroid, you did not answer anything. Also, the rom has sony's brand on it. they do not run stock android. they take the rom and adapt it. it's out of google's hands. it is sony's responsibility.

joulukas, yeah, took me a while to start noticing them, too. unless you've measured it, don't be sure that there is no problem just because you don't notice it. Every minute or so it loses two samples, always 150 samples apart.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
You do realize NOBODY is forcing you to use this ROM or upgrade right? Also you do realize there are RULES in this forum about what you are doing.

I find hilarious when people is so quick to dismiss benchmarks. If you rely on one single test then yes but if every test shows improvement then there must be something to it. I will take any actual benchmark vs the usual "it feels smoother" comment that most people seem to value so much...

In any case mate, drop the attitude....or move on if you are not happy with this Rom or phone. There are plenty of choices.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
so demanding a problem-free device that i paid for is "attitude" ? seriously?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
I am sorry to do this but this thread reeks of thanks farming (not very effective mind you). I have a feeling this is the case because:

A. The OP claims that he works for Sony. Most/all the Sony (ex-ericsson) people involved with xda have Sony email accounts and are registered with us. The op isn't (not saying he can't be working for Sony but him flaunting around like that isn't like something a Sony employee would do, let alone that NDA bit)

B. His responses are far from conclusive of anything. While the tone could have been a bit better, I agree with the other guy who questioned him.

C. I have been following this thread since it was posted just to see if anything would change it's obvious course, which is to act as a place holder thread, again commonly used for thanks farming.

So, with all this in mind and because this is about to turn into a pointless flame war, I am closing this. Op, when you are ready to post the ROM, you can do so in a regular thread with a download link.

Thread closed.

There are two rules in life for being successful:

1. Never reveal everything you know;

2.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Ladis:
Hi guys,

I know that there was couple of similar threads around, but did not find any solution. So I am reopening this issue again.

SD card in my magician is getting formatted without any reason.

Looks like problem with FAT.... If I use some data recovery software, I can save the data from the card.

I have tried all the hints from the other threads like registry edit, format SD card in magician, etc....nothing helped.

It shoudl not be firmware problem, couse i have tried 3different ones.

Tested with different SD card and gets broken as well :(

Magician is fresh installed, only Tomtom and SBH pocket plus.

Anyone has any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] st3v3:
k well if you tried the search function most common problem with Fat cards is the partition gets corrupted, get some partition management software delete the current SD card partition and put a new one in (suggest you will probably need a card reader)

i do it at least once a week to keep my card spring time fresh and nice and fast.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Ladis:
hm...that means reformat SD card once a week? thats pain? Is it only WM3 problem or WM5 has the same issue as well? thanks :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] st3v3:
no i rebuild the partition, it just depends on what you do with ur card and how big it is.

ive got a 2 gig partition that is full of all sorts of things (also regular supply of movies and MP3) so my partition is in need of constant repair, i also use Fat32 instead of Fat16.

but from what you say i would recomend at least fixing it once and see how that goes.

Install Instructions

1) Reboot in recovery and flash the zip

Detailled instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59513361&postcount=245

To avoid root problems, follow this:

Don't update Busybox, the one iculde is already working.
