In my country (Thailand), the Korean model smartphone is very popular. I bought a lot of it and keep changing mine. The thing i and othes dont like is the korean language on Dialpad. I like rooted stock rom than modified rom made by most of the devs.

So it would be great if i able to remove Korean Language from the Dialpad manually on my own. If anyone knows how to do it please help me. I have some knowledge of edit buildprob but i have no clue how to do it on this editing

Hi,

It seems to me that since the Lollipop update, the background noise reduction during calls is defective.

Indeed, if the option is enabled (Parameters/Calls), my voice is less and less audible for my interlocutor. If I disable the option, the voice is good.

Is this a problem with lollipop or my second microphone is dead?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocagenda2:
this is problem as far as i know since jelly bean and im wondering why did they ever put sutch option when u cant even use it...yes i know when i turn it off its all fine when turned on, all calls become very low on volume and sometimes echo acures...theyx could or should solve this for once and for all but anyway not a big prob for me...i had xperia Z before and i think it somehow worked there but with the xperia Z2 NoiseCanceling is a bad... but with NC headphones i can confirm that i was talking on the phone while riding motorcycle and the caller on other side heard me like i was in some room without any wind noise or whatsoever...so it really works with NC HP and second MIC IS NOT DEAD...hope i helped u make solve that question.cheers ;)

So I never had to activate this option before. And that's when I searched in the new lollipop menu I had the "wrong" idea to do so.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IreshS:
This happened to me on KitKat,. It only happens when you flash a different customization version.

I rooted the Z2 and flashed a Generic ROM from another country and the Noise Reduction broke and Lollipop I flashed the Baltic Generic version and here too the noise reduction breaks. When i revert back to my original ROM the noise reduction works perfectly.

I just received my replacement phone (which I purchased from Motorola but had the shutting down while battery still displayed 50-90% issue), put my VZW SIM into it and can tell you that on my phone, the OTA progression went from 5.0 to 5.01 to 5.1 "LMY47D".

Just an FYI: After it flashed to "LMY47D" and used it for a couple days (VZW "VoLTE" worked fine with this), I went to the Google factory image page and flashed "LMY47E" as that is the version that comes on the Verizon variant, factory reset, and when I set the phone back up, the phone automatically downloaded My Verizon as well as Verizon Visual Voice Mail automatically once it signed into the Play Store. I do not know if "LMY47D" would have downloaded those Verizon apps or not after a factory reset with a Verizon SIM in it, so someone else will have to chime in on that.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattyB151:
Ok so I'd like to put AllianceROM on my international version SM-G900F H3G UK model.

To do so, my plan is to downgrade lollipop to 4.4.2 stock, root with TowelRoot, then install the ROM through Mobile Odin Pro (to preserve the KNOX counter). I've just tried to flash 4.4.2 onto the phone, but I cannot get it to start at all after it's flashed. The phone just hangs on the Three (H3G) boot animation.

I'm hoping that I've just got confused with the Sammobile site and that I've just flashed the wrong 4.4.2 firmware (so far tried flashing ANG2 and ANE2). Something I should have checked earlier but I just thought they were updated versions of the same ROM).

If I can't successfully boot into 4.4.2, I'd like to try flashing lollipop to retrieve some files I forgot to backup (another silly mistake). I'm not sure whether I can take files off it through the ADB sideload or whatever but if I have to lose all my data then I'm not too bothered.

What's the best way to go about my situation?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaken326:
Hello everyone, I am about to retire my One M7, which served me well in all aspects except for the camera and more importantly, battery life. I don't know anyone who has this phone and I will most likely be locked in for at least 2 years. I've read many reviews but I would like some personal opinions. Hence, I most kindly ask you for your opinion :)

1. Is the bloat ware intrusive on the experience (including battery life and performance)

2. Are there any significant slow downs in stock and if so are they easy to fix?

3. Can you still use the multiwindow features in a different launcher or are you constrained to stock?

4. How is the battery life following the Lollipop update - I have seen some issues crop up with SD805 devices, but as I will be buying a fresh device will I be safe?

5. The battery life compares very favourably to other phones synthetically - does this hold up in real life?

6. Are there any major negatives to the phone which you have come across (size is not an issue for me).

Thank you very much for reading and best regards,

Jaken 326
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llothar:
1. You can easily disable all the bloat. It disappears from the app drawer.

2. Multitasking takes a sec to load, same the gallery going from photos. Nothing drastic.

3. multi-window works with any launcher

4. Battery life on Lolipop is a bit worse than on KK, but should get you through the day easy.

5. I switched from HTC M7 and it is MUCH better.

6. Slow update to Lolipop, Qi charging back adds thickness. Nothing major really.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaken326:
Thank you very much, you put my mind at ease over several things!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
If you want a good camera then get this phone. It's one of the best, if not the best, smart phone camera's on the market.

Battery life? It's decent but the screen is very bright and high res so screen on time isn't the most amazing but the battery will easily get most people through a day. Plus you can always carry a state battery if needed.

Lag? Yeah occasionally in the gallery app and recent apps menu but it's not enough to worry about.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobab1619:
Hi. guys

Can anybody explain for me the disadvantages of swapping?

Will it reduce my SD crard lifetime?

I'm on PAC ROM and using Ram expander app for swapping and now my phone has a great multitasking and I dont have any problem about lack of Ram.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smogf:
It will reduce your SD lifetime, since it use part of card as RAM, so it is in use all the time. In the other way u use a swap file or swap partition? (Dont know in wich way Ram expander work). When you use file it use sdcard filesystem. When you use swap partition it will use swap filesystem which is designed to work with writing/reading space all the time so I think its better.

You must have in mind that adding to high size of swap can slow your device down, while system will want to use swap at first. So its not recommended to use swap higher than your real RAM size.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobab1619:
Thank you for explanation.

I think this app use a swap file. Can you tell me how can I enable swap partition? and what size do you suggest? Is 256mb good?

And in your opinion how long my SD card lifetiime will last ? (nearly)

In total I think the advantage of swapping is more than the disadvantages of it! Now I don't have any launcher redraws and also music won't be stopped while internet browsing+ a great multitasking that I didn't have ever!

Can u please share ur ram expander settings i mean the swap directory u selected. So i can try once again & go back to kitkat.

Iam using it on stock rom + with too many xposed modules. No lag at all :D

Talking about the life of sdcard. It will affect it but to a very less extent.

If u use a class 10 memory card u will not encounter any problems.

Iam using this app for more than 5 months on SP and in other phone for over a year.

I still didn't face problem with my sd card.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobab1619:
Thank you for your information.

As I told Im using it on PAC Rom and I have not tested it on other roms.

I selected /mnt/media-rw/sdcard1 as my directory and the value of swappiness and DriverCache are 50 & 8192 for me. ( what these settings means?)

these settings are default and I didnt change them.

Now plz share your setting like swappiness and DriveCache value and perfectKernel checkbox and also swap size. definitely these settings affect on SD card lifetime and help me a lot.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akashsaini7:

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smogf:

About screenshot. I cant get it working on CM11 :( Whats the path to your swapfile? - sorry already there :) have to look better
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akashsaini7:
I already said i was also unable to get it work on cm11 (offical & mrsteves one).

But i never tried mnt/media-rw/sdcard1. But [MENTION=5835184]hobab1619[/MENTION] is using this directory.

So i think this one can work.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smogf:
I've tried this directory in cm11. Cant enable swap option. Now try other path. Maybe one of this will work. Or maybe cm11 Kernel was compiled without enabled swap option? This is second question.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobab1619:
If this is a kernel related problem you can try cm11 for locked bootloader that is based on stock kernel. ( PAC ROM is a stock kernel based ROM too)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smogf:
I think so. None of apps work for me. When I will find my old sdcard i will check how about swap partition. If that will not work it have to be kernel related. I cant change whole system right now (to check cm for LB) since its my daily use phone and i make some holidays right now. Maybe in two weeks.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
WHAT YOU WILL ONLY NEED:

- Windows 7/8 and Flashtool.

- .77 (KitKat) Firmware

- .690 Firmware

- DRM LP fix in your SD card (DRM Function Restoration for Xperia Lolipop V2)

- Androplus LP ADV Kernel (I used Z3_ADV_stock_LP_v2)

- THIS GUIDE WILL RESTORE THE DRM KEYS FOR THE SONY FEATURES TO WORK AGAIN(CAMERA X-REALITY ETC...)

NOT UR ORIGINAL KEYS,

Be sure to have the LP DRM FIX in your SD card prior to flashing stuff.

- If your Bootloader is UNLOCKED, LOCK IT (Relock).

- Don't turn it on. If somehow it turns on, hard turn off it by holding VOL UP and POWER until it vibrates 3 times.

- Flash the .77 FTF (Flashtool).

You're back to .77 (KitKat)

- Let it boot till the language selection screen.

- Power it off.

Now you will be going to Lollipop with old TA features, plus a custom kernel so you can use Recovery.

- UNLOCK your bootloader now and:

- Flash the .690 FTF checking the "TA" box. Which means you are EXCLUDING the TA partition from .690 in order to keep the .77's. This is where the magic lies!

- Right now, you are already on Lollipop.

- Right after flashing it, flash the Androplus ADV LP kernelV2 (get it from the Androplus kernel site). That means you are going to get Recovery functions.

- Right after flashing the kernel, access the Recovery screen (holding VOL UP/DOWN when the Z3's led is purple) and FLASH the DRM Fix which should be in your SD card.

I'm guessing it will work without original backups as there is no part of the tutorial where you restore from a back up. Looks more like a return to stock from any state.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] scottjb:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Thenetstriker:
I'am not sure if I got this right, please correct me if I'm wrong:

So using this method I will end up with a custom kernel with custom recovery and still got all Sony DRM features that are usually lost when unlocking the bootloader. How exactly does this work? My guess is that the TA partition is not deleted directly by unlocking the bootloader but when booting into Android by the CredentialManagerService. And this hack simply prevents the CredentialManagerService from deleting the TA partition. Am I right?

Edit: I think I got it wrong. This will only restore the Camer and Display features, but not Miracast. Am I right?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
Yes i think, i didn't test miracast
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] scottjb:
I did this procedure and it seems to have worked. I had some trouble with flashing when the bl was locked. I had to keep it unlocked the whole time. I had to flash several times due to some error messages in the flash tool.

After doing this can I flash a different LP customization (the US one) while keeping the TA information or do I have to downgrade to KK first, then go back to LP, doing this whole process again?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
Glad hear that worked, now remember everytime u flash a lolipop rom u have to flash again the drm restore zip and then reboot from recovery
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] scottjb:
Thanks. Do I only have to flash Lollipop, excluding TA in Flashtool, then the DRM restore zip? Or do I have to go back to KitKat each time?
