[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusGTS:
Yes . When my z1 will dye i will buy another Sony phone .
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkforce314:
Can you say mr why? :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusGTS:
Because of powerful hardware , premium materials look and feel , wather and dust prof , great battery life , good camera and sound , great ui (no fancy and usless functions like other phones) is is just fast and without lag. I don't buy middle range or low range smartphones fom Sony or others . I will go just with the flagship . If my z1 will die soon i will buy the next flagship from Sony . Srry for my bad english :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user822:
Yes.

I bought the Z series for the great hardware and the unlockable bootloader, to flash a custom rom day1.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoorie016:
Same here. I like the design and the water & dust proof. Also, i like the camera quality, not over saturated and great noise reduction (But i prefer Z2 to Z3's noise reduction. )

Although i was little bit dissapointed with their software update timeframe, XDA is still here to support it. :P

Since it's also trending here, sorry for my bad English. :D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alifseven7:
I've been with Sony since my first android, Xperia X8(Sony Ericsson) → Xperia J → Xperia SP → Xperia Z1 . I had a lot of bad and good times but wilI always love their phone for its software and hardware design. But i'll probably change my preference in the future just to get new experience with other manufacturer. Why not try new things? I'll go for Nexus.(Always wanted that but it's hard to find that device here in my country).
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoorie016:
Or wait for the Nexperia/Nexus Z :D (It will be an awesome device i think :D)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alifseven7:
That's right. It's about time for Sony to join nexus device development. Samsung,LG, and Motorola has done it. Btw, Nexperia sounds cool! :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoorie016:
Sony - Camera and Signature Design +

Nexus - Google early updates = The device that i will preorder as soon it is available. :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWOKSFUNG:
No, sony dont increase their spec much and love limiting potential of its hardware just to let the next one having "new features"

Really dont like it and will move to another brand if sony dont make a big change in upcoming phone
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tundrwd:
Well, I've had my unit rooted since about a week after I bought it, 2 1/2 years ago. Everything fine - even after using SlimLP 5.02 February Alpha version. Up until yesterday. Something happened, very slow, and wouldn't get into any Google app/site. Kept saying "Google Play" not installed when it was.

Anyway, tried to reflash to Omni 4.4.4 - had MAJOR issues seeing the screen (auto dimming enabled - and simply too dark). Finally worked through the startup/config stuff, and decided since it had an issue - go back to stock a few days and make sure hardware was ok.

So, fired up Odin, flash the old stock firmware I had from Sammobile a while back - now it's stuck at the flashing "SAMSUNG" label. I'm charging fully (was around 50% when I flashed), and will try to reflash again with latest Sammobile firmware (slightly newer that the one I've got).

Now - to the question - anyone know of CWM 6.0.1.1 (I believe) or SlimLP Lollipop would have re-partitioned the device? IF it did, anyone got a PIT file to get the partitions lined back out for the GT-P3113 (Galaxy Tab 2 7)?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zamgwd:
No need to repartition. Just enter recovery mode and factory reset it.

Sent from my LGUS990
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tundrwd:
Ok - it's finally working - I hope. I honestly have no idea what shook it loose.

Process - updated a stock Samsung image for that unit half a dozen times using Odin 3.10. Would always reboot, play the "Samsung Chime", and get to the colored "SAMSUNG" logo and hang. Hooked up to Kies to see if I could do an Emergency Firmware Reload - no dice. Kies would know that something was hooked up, but it wouldn't ever get to saying model, etc. Tried Kies3 - it immediately said it wasn't the correct version - so it knew enough to know Kies3 wouldn't work.

Anyway, loaded a slightly newer version of the stock firmware, using Odin 3.10.0, AND got a stock PIT file for my 8GB unit and applied that - same results. Went into the now Stock Recovery mode (vol+ & power), wiped cache, data, reset - 4 times. Every time, it would reboot and hang. Finally went in, and instead of wiping anything, just rebooted (hit the power button) - this time it took off "updating xx of xx apps". Booted up, went into "I'm a new system - configure me". Afterwards, downloading updates for apps. Seems to be functioning.

So - I don't know what was hanging it up, I don't know if the eMMC is going bad (I haven't loaded it that much, unless the SlimLP Lollipop did something to cause issues). I wouldn't mind the stock firmware so much, except for the 8 tons of crap they load onto it, and you can't get rid of.

There was a "decrappify" that could be applied - but wasn't terribly successful 2 years ago (early 2013). Does anyone know of one that works for the GT-P3113? I'm going to stay stock for a couple of weeks, and watch it to see if it starts acting up again.
[LG G Flex] Doomrider:
Hi

I currently have an LG L23, but in my effort to upgrade to KK i flashed a D959 rom,

I now want to go back to stock ( the rom can't read my sim, radio menu does not respond)

But i can't, whenever i try and flash the stock i always get a "device model is different" error

So i I'm wondering if i can flash simply by using the d959 dll or editing the build. Prop? Is there any other way? The recovery i installed is gone as well

Guys your help and opinions are requested

[LG G Flex] wael_wakeel:
"Invalid SIM" after wrong ROM flash ..

I have LG G Flex [LGL23 au edition] which was on 4.2.2

I live in Egypt and it was working fine on my local network

Until from few days I decided to flash a custom ROM to update to 4.4.2

The ROM I flashed was T-Mobile

and since then the phone is always giving me "Invalid SIM"

and every time I try to make a call it says : "to place a call, disable airplane mode" which is already disabled

the phone isn't asking for any Unlock codes ..

I can't restart in recovery mode using TWRP interface to install zip file ROM

But Luckily I still can flash the phone with kdz files using LG flash tool 2014 ..

and I think I can flash TOT files also using LG flash tool 1.8

Can any one provide me a link of international stock ROM (KDZ or TOT) suiting my phone model ??

Please Help !!

Galaxy Tab S

Android 5.0.2

Kernel Version: 3.4.39-4403645

Then i flashed it with odin, and it said succsess. But then it gets stuck on SAMSUNG Screen.

Odin and Recovery mode still work.

I used this Firmware: T800XXU1ANK1_T800XAR1ANI1_HOME.tar.md5

I also tried this one: T800XXU1ANF8_T800XAR1ANF6_HOME.tar.md5

Also try press and hold power, home and volume up and down together to power of and then press and hold power, home and volume up to get to recovery where you can data factory reset and wipe cache which is what I did and mine did boot up eventually.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whuamai:
you had a different problem.

yours worked fine before and you couldnt get into recovery mode.

Mine doesnt boot after installing new ROM,

but recovery and odin mode stil work.

I made factory reset and wiped cash already before. Doesnt work.

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] wickedspice:
As we all know the android one comes with limited internal storage storage and media (pics,documents,videos) can only be stored on the external sdcard. On the forum there are various methods to swap storage size , however on doing so storage space for media will be limited to fixed 2 gb space currently available for internal storage. I was wondering if it is possible to partition a 32gb class 10 sd card and use 16 gb each for external and internal storage. I wouldn't mind if the internal phone storage would have to be abandoned in doing so.

Has any one successfully done this..

'
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] xdaaritra:
Yes you can do that using link2sd.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] xdaaritra:
Check this out.

I have made a 4GB ext4 partition on my 16GB sd card and I keep all my apps stored in the 4GB partition. And 10GB is kept as media storage.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] wickedspice:
Could u please specify how to do it properly for lollipop devices.. there are many in the forum and some run into performance issue if not done properly.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] xdaaritra:
Here it goes.

So download the zip file from the attachment. You will find link2sd app and a patcher that makes the app link2sd plus and is totally functional... And other things about link2sd is nicely explained in this site, https://awanstuff.wordpress.com/201...ink2sd-in-any-android-phone-with-screenshots/ Just keep in mind to create a ext4 partition instead of ext2 and you are good to go. And I would suggest you to use high speed sd cards preferably class 10 and higher if you want a smooth experience on your lollipop rom. I use class 10 ultra from sandisk. And my apps run buttery smooth...
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] wickedspice:
Has anyone tried link2sd on lollipop .some saying it doesn't play well because of some changes in how lollipop stores app.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] xdaaritra:
Works perfectly.

I'm using it on my lollipop 5.1 and it works flawlessly...no hiccups at all... Why don't you try it for your self and find out...

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
Hey guys,

My Xperia Z1 is 2 weeks old and I carried it in a flip case but still the included screenprotector has tons of scratches on it :( do you guys reccomend that I remove it?

EDIT: does the back glass have a screen protector too? And if i remove that will I remove the logos?

Thanks,

Noahvt
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusGTS:
Yes , the back side has screen protector but if you remowe it you will not lose the sony xperia and nfc logo . If you remove the protectors sugest to replace them with tempered glass protectors because the back/front of the phone are more fragile without protectors .
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
Just removed the front protector (the back is not scratched yet so I will not remove it yet) And I got a bunch of ghost touches at first, after wiping the screen the ghost touches were reduced to a few but it's quite annoying, I assume this is just some glue residue left from the screenprotector? If so what would be the best approach to get rid of that residue?

Thanks,

noahvt
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusGTS:
Clean the screen with something . The ghost touches are from residue and buy a tempered glass for the screen because if you let it like this and scratches are going to appear on it then you wont be able to remove them.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
Looking for a tempered glass screen protector right now... Any reccomendations?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusGTS:
Yes. I recomend this brand Nilkin H+ . It is very good
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
Yeah just found that one too! And they sell it in my country YES! ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user822:
Agree on the tempered glass instead. Feels much nicer.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] yashkadam0012:
there is no recovery ?????

and

i get random reboots so how to fix it ???
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Nameless One:
You can get into recovery using advanced power menu options or a suitable app. Using the volume buttons during boot, as you have presumably discovered, doesn't work but at least the kernel allows us to actually use a FOTAKernel recovery.

This ROM is currently quite unstable, the 20150330 build seems a little less so than the previous one which was bad even without setting SELinux to enforcing.

How to fix the reboots? either install some other ROM or put up with the reboots and wait or download the source and fix them yourself.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
Kindly read the post #3. I can't reproduce the random reboots issue, thus I need logs, easy as that. If you don't have logs, don't post your bug reports here as they'll be useless.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Nameless One:
It has actually been quite ok today (mostly in my pocket out of sight so it could have been doing anything and I wouldn't know). Two instances Today where it went to sleep and I wasn't able to wake it and had to force a reboot, saw mention of something like it in infected_'s cm12 thread but there is no option for double tap to wake that I could find so I can't say if there is any commonality beyond the not waking bit. Logs attached (with a radio log free of charge).
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] iKillCypher:
Hi

most of the features you are requesting for has not been merged yet, Omni focus more on stability of the rom rather than features, would you rather have the rom to crashing on daily usage or stableness with minimal battery drain and fluid smoothness ?

and the reboot you are encountering seems like the cpu collapsed, something is preventing the phone from waking up.

did you do any kernel changes ? undervolting ? any modification did you install ?

let me or oliver know if you encounter any more random reboot.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Nameless One:
What are these "most of the features" I'm "requesting"? I haven't asked for anything. I simply checked for something that was causing a problem like mine (the failure to wake up) in another ROM, since it wasn't present I concluded that it wasn't the cause of the problem for me.

I have never undervolted, "kernel changes" have been restricted to selecting FIOPS if it is present and not the default.

Mods are the same as any 5.0.x ROM I use, Xposed with "Flat Style Colored Bars" and GravityBox.

The reboots, which may have been entirely with the 20150329 version, were primarily the system falling over when I was uninstalling stuff with Titanium Backup (something I have done countless times with this and other ROMs with no problem).

I haven't tried any version newer than 20150330 since I installed infected_'s CM12.1 ROM (have used his ROMs in the past without incident, a little plainer than some I have tried) and it is working fine.
