[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
It's less prone to scratches actually. My brother's z1c has paint chipping away but mine looks absolutely brand new. He even used covers most of the time. I always kept mine naked and even dropped it quite a few times
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AK2H:
Do you mean that the paint on the frame can be easily removed on Z1 Compact ?

And by the way ... what is your brother's phone's colour ?

If I Helped, Leave A Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
Black. Mine is the black one too. Yeah the paint kinda started coming off on his one
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AK2H:
Did it start to come off after being scratched or without?

If without ... how long has your brother been using it before the paint come off?

Thanks in advance :)

If I Helped, Leave A Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
He has owned it for about 8 months. He used a cover most of the time. Occasionally he would use it without a cover like one day at a time. And yet it got scratched with paint coming off little by little. On the other hand i used mine naked for about 4 months now and i never use a cover. But no problems on my part. Good as new :D

i have a stock .77 ftf rooted with a locked bootloader on D5803, and a 5gb (not unlimited) data plan. i have been trying to use the stock wifi tethering option but it doesn't seem to be fully functioning. i can do Google searches and even stream netflix (if i'm already on the show i want to watch) or an add on on xbmc but any other web pages load forever and i mean forever!

is there any way to get this to work without downloading a third party app ... i like the option of going into quick settings and turning it on from there.

thank you!

What is the reg key to disable Error reporting

How the heck do i move the Live Messenger and Windows Live Shortcuts for Start menu without getting a double. Where is the original entry that moves them from the windows directory to the Start Menu\ Programs.

I know how to do the steps just cant find the sections.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ErrorReporting\DumpSettings]

I think this is what you're looking for.

Regarding the Windows Live shortcuts, just act as they are already in start menu\programs and edit the initflashfiles to move them out of there

typho5

I have a real simple question....I lost my command instructions for Typho5.exe, and it has totally slipped my mind.

What is the command to to seperate GSM, IPL & SPL, & OS from nk.nbf with out the files being split up?

From what I remember it was - typho5.exe nk.nbf -nosplit?

Is that correct? I'm sure I'm missing something here.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nottoosmart:
typho5.exe -x nk.nbf
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
Well, I had already said this once already, but look at the proxml file in the windows live folder, and delete the first two entries, or change the direct that there are to be installed too!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
Thats correct!

If you open 'run' and type the address of the folder you can have it run with out opening a command prompt

e.g D:\DEV_WIZcrossbow CLEAN-V2\Dump\typho5.exe -x nk.nbf

Then you just place you nb file in the same folder each time and run it from the run command in start menu. It will keep it there as well for you to use and use!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nottoosmart:
funman i figured an easier way out. just rename the shortcuts and make the changes in the initflashfiles.dat. LOL. Thanks though. I guess your way is correct. Now my only issue is making my ROM have more memory. Im stuck at 23.49 available program memory. Im working off my vanilla rom. Any suggestions?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
Well you could do it that way, but i would say that it would help your PPc if there was not redendet reg and other thing sitting in the PPC

Dirrect that icon to the resource you created, make it invisible and put it into the folder you want to change appearence

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freskeeeh:
Hello.

FIrst , i know there are 2 more threads ( or maybe more , i could only find 2 ) about this but they didn't made me understand my problem.

So I live in Europe and my M8 is an US M8 ( Canadian if i remember right) and because of that 4G isn't working here , in Europe.

Now my question is : Can I do something about this ? I'm s-off if that can help..

Thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Check if your version of the M8 supports the 4G band(s) used by your carrier. If not, the band support can be changed by flashing the appropriate radio.

Also, make sure you are using the proper APN for your carrier. Sometimes carriers use a different APN for 4G enabled devices.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freskeeeh:
Sorry but I'm a bit noob. How can I check if my M8 supports the 4G band used by my carrier? The APN is ok.

Sent from my HTC One M8 powered by ViperOneM8
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
1) Verify what version of the M8 you own

2) Check specs online to see what bands your M8 version is supposed to support

3) Find out what 4G band(s) your carrier uses

You haven't given much detail, and I don't know your knowledge base (what you do or don't know how to do). So I can only give general steps, and rely on you to ask specific questions on the steps above, as necessary.

Flashing the radio appropriate for your region/carrier is probably going to fix the problem. But I recommend you do the research above first, to first confirm that band support (missing in the device software) is the issue.

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

Byt the way, you understand Canada is not a part of the US, right? :p
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freskeeeh:
Yeah , looks like my brain wasn't working when I wrote you later.

I have a T-Mobile M8 and their bands are 700 , 1700 , 2100. For my carrier I need 800, 1800 , 2600 so looks like I need to flash a radio.

I just did a research and found some radio here on xda but i don't know which one to download. ( If you can help me here i would be very thankful )

My phone is s-off so i'm alright , i just need to change my cid to supercid.

So can you help me in finding the radio for my M8 ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If the latest Viper (version 4.x), I would suggest flashing the 4.16.401 firmware package. Not only to get the Euro radio (with the LTE bands you are looking for), but all the other firmware modules that correspond to the 4.16 software, for most bug-free performance.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2696282

s-off is required (which you state you already have) to flash another region/carrier's firmware. Plus, you will need to change to the proper CID and MID.

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

Patience, I was typing!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freskeeeh:
Umm is that a different firmware ? Because I already have 4.16.401.10.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
How are you determining that number?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freskeeeh:
Bootloader - OS
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That isn't the firmware number.

The term "firmware" is a little confusing. On this device, when most folks say "firmware" (including the link I sent you) it refers to a package of modules including hboot, radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and others, that DO NOT get flashed with the ROM (but are critical in the correct operation of the ROM).

Firmware does not in fact really have a "number", so referring to the software (OS) number that the firmware deployed with is the best we can do. So again, its confusing.

The OS number is bootloader just tells you what software number the current ROM is based. Flash a ROM with a different base, and that number will change. But the hboot, radio "firmware" will

not

change. Therefore you want to have firmware that corresponds to your ROM.

There is in fact no easy way to tell what firmware package you have installed. The best way is to look at the hboot and radio numbers. So tell me what those say on the hboot screen, and I can

probably

tell what firmware you are on (although I'm not that familiar with the T-Mob radio numbers).

If you read the thread I linked, it explains it a little further under the big red letters.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freskeeeh:
Oh , I'm sorry. I didn't know that. I'm gonna flash that firmware right now. The sad part is will not know if this worked untill tomorrow :( , because I don't have 4G in the area where i live.

HBOOT : 3.19.0.0000

Radio: 1.25.214500021.06G

Thank you very much for your help and I'll come back with the result tomorrow :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freskeeeh:
So after flashing that firmware my radio is still : 1.25.214500021.06G. So I guess that didn't change anything ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Interesting, you already seem to be on the Lollipop WWE Euro radio, based on this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58306004&postcount=734

And the T-Mobile radio number is 1.23.213311491.05G, based on this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59275459&postcount=712

Did you flash any firmware packages previously (by the method that I linked). Or was the phone modified by a previous owner?

Now why the WWE Euro radio doesn't give you LTE, is the real mystery. You've used this SIM on another phone before, and had LTE?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freskeeeh:
Umm , yes. I flashed a firmware when i updated viper rom from 44.2 to 4.4.4 i think. I don't know if the phone was modified by a previous owner.

I used the SIM in another phone and it had LTE.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The radio number would suggest you flashed the Android 5.0 firmware, not 4.4.4.

Check the APN again. Does it match the APN on the "other" phone?

If the 4.16.401 firmware, and running current Viper, and right APN, I don't see a reason why LTE won't work. You might check the Viper thread to see if there are any other reports of a similar bug.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freskeeeh:
The APN is good. I'm gonna check Viper thread but probably I'm just gonna leave it like this. I'm gonna buy the M9 anyway when it's available here. Just wanted to make 4G work untill I buy it but yeah. Thanks anyway for your big help :) Have a good day/night.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] furious84:
Ah ok. :) uhm if i understand need An autoradio compatible for work.

Maybe if It s possible create a comunication from phone To n7 will be good, But for that you can use tablet talk, the only bad thing is the not streaming audio, so u need a headphone bt (with tablet talk). Maybe with Android auto the streaming audio phone to other Android device is compatible (i mean the audio of call).

Inviato dal mio Nexus 7 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] t1mman:
If you use the tablet in a car already, there's a good chance it's already in the "line in" of the auto radio. You can use this easely. I have a "bt" "puck" connected on it as of now, so I have to "switch" the plug between the "puck" and the tablet. I wounder if I could only connect the tablet and connect my phone trough BT and have my sound from my smartphone.

I think I'm gonna test some things out, as I see it now, Android Auto is realy not meant to be used in a "standalone" tablet, but only with "integrated" systems.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] furious84:
Yes i m already using the n7 in car, connect with autoradio, via audio in, using a dac. All is automatized with tasker, so when i plug to The ac,and is plugged with the dac, connect in automatic with the obd, and start car home ultra (also on bt 3g gps) and then start Google music. All that in 1minute. When i off car, or unplug ac, close All app opened At start, and go in sleep mode.

The Good thing is tablet talk so when i receive a call, i Can accept using The tablet, and talk using the headphone bt. (ah i forget when all start from tablet out a comand to my phone for start bt, when off car automatically bt off). That sounds complicated but work nice, and cost less of new autoradio with Android.

Yes, creating a safestrap Rom slot use internal storage, how much depends on what you select when creating

600mb for system should work for cm11

2000mb for data is default, it maybe larger than what you need, depend on how many apps you want, and how much space they use.

Cache default is 300mb, probably doesn't need to be that big, but is what I have been using.
