[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angrygamer1023:
Backstory: I tried to load Cyanogenmod on my phone; but first I had to load TWRP recovery in order to get to load it. This is where the issue came; I decided to go the easy route and attempted to install it through Flashify (an app on the Google Play store); upon restarting my phone; it was bricked. I went into EVERYTHING, when I tried to go into recovery it would just send me through the bootloop and then send me to AP Fastboot.

Confused, I called Motorola; and was notified and Flashify had removed my prevoius recovery and failed to but TWRP resulting in this.

Issue: So what I did is I got the CWM recovery specific for my phone (XT926) and went into ADB fastboot and typed "fastboot flash cwm.img", from my ADB folder of course. Then when I booted into recovery, nothing happened; it would just send me through the bootloop again. Please help.:confused:
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattisebastian:
Try another recovery / another version. Did the trick for me and you have nothing to lose ;)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subaryota:
I have 2 XT925s. I bricked one to the point that I could boot to fastboot but could not even get into stock recovery. I was running stock 4.4.2.

I did the following.

I got the DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.41. I used the TWRP 2.7.1.0 in that utility specifically for XT925.

I used fastboot to manually flash TWRP into the recovery partition.

DO NOT reboot past boot menu. Right after flashing, boot into recovery. That should give you TWRP.

I used TWRP to Install CM11 snapshot. I had to manually flash into the modem partition, the modem file also obtained from the above utility. You will need to flash in gapps for 4.4.2.

That recovered the bricked phone.

Of note, I was able to flash TWRP in the other phone. Backed it up. Transfered the backed up OEM ROM into the phone running CM. And get it to run stock ROM.

I now have one running CM11, and one running stock 4.4.2. I'm just comparing battery life. I've noticed CM11 has a smaller memory footprint than stock 4.4.2.

Cheers

[HTC EVO 3D] bluelife:
I usually let my phone all night on the charger and when I wake up check emails, news etc.

So the other day when I waked up, open wifi, check email ... phone started heating up, really heating up, almost too hot to touch and also seemed to drain the battery . So, closed the phone immediately and took the battery off. After that it would start the endless reboot cycle every time I put the battery in and plug in the charger. It won't charge at all even if I tell it to shutdown through fastboot. Bought a battery through ebay which came half charged, managed to flash a stock rom through hboot but nothing changed and the battery is drained now and can't try anything else. Also I have to mention that I couldn't access recovery as it would reboot as soon as I made that choice in the hboot menu. Current status is that as soon as I plug in the charger, red light turns on for one second and than the phone seems to try to boot and well endless cycle of that.

Phone was s-off hboot 1.49 and some recovery which I can't remember.

So... is it dead?
[HTC EVO 3D] jcfunk:
seem like you can boot into bootloader/fastboot. But revovery is a no go? Recovery does off mode charging, so if it's bad you won't charge. That would be a software issue, as for hardware I don't have a clue. If you can power up with cable, then I'd say maybe it's only software. I'd try an ruu, back to stock and see if that fixes.

My camera lens looks like there are some sort of bubbles or something under the glass. It doesn't affect the camera, because they're not in the field of view of the lens, but I've noticed these spots keep appearing, so they should eventually reach the center and ruin my images. Should I get this repaired or is this normal behavior?

It's not dust. I cleaned the lens before taking a picture, what you see is under the glass.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mal16:
looks like condensation.

Try out the pressure test and look if your phone is still waterproof. Anyway i would send it in if you live in a country with reliable consumer protection laws and good warranty.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzzane:
Yep you have gotten water into your phone, this happened to me 3 days after purchase of my Z3C. Open up the sim card flap (bottom left) and look in the little hole in the bottom, there should be a white square, this is the water sensor. If you have gotten water in your phone that white square will be a red / pink color.

Do a pressure test like 2mal16 said.

If you do not want to send it in for warranty you can get rid of the water using rice and a hair dryer - turn off the phone, open all the flaps and bury the phone in rice, in an air tight bag or container, leave the bag / container in the sun for at least 1 day and that should clear it. (depending on where you live 2-3 days might be better)

Next you can try opening the flaps (phone off) and holding the phone so that the open flaps are facing downwards (left side of the phone is facing down) and get a blow dryer / hair dryer and wave it up and down the top of the phone, where the camera is (this will heat the water and should make it come out of the flaps)

So i recently got this device,quite happy with it but since i use it more as a media device (heavy gaming like wot blitz and others) i am considering to switch from stock 4.2.2. Any good rom in terms of gaming performance and decent battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Sheldd:
Hy, it's ok on 4.2.2, if you want some better try Sazy rom or Resurrection Remix, they are preaty good xDD

On my phone SlimLP 5.0.2 work better than any lollipop rom. Yes, its a very aosp like rom without theme chooser and other fancy stuff, but runs really smooth and stable. Slim is my suggestion.

Hello developers,

Any idea how to remove empty SIM2 icon from status bar in stock KK & LP ? Its annoying. Gravitybox doesn't work in my case. please suggest.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] qitaro:
same problem

5.1 LMY47O can't deactive 1 sim if 2 sim inserted

any idea :confused:
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Dhamithl:
Are you sure about lollipop? I have 5.1 and I only have one sim icon on the status bar.

I don't think you can completely disable a sim on any dual sim phone when there are 2 sims inserted. However you can use one of the sims for calls, data and messages.

For lolipop i am not sure because i tried it for 2 days only then reverted back to stock KK. But pls guide to remove empty sim slot icon in KK.

Can i flash my backed up drm keys insted of the one mentioned in the tutorial ??
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 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 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantsDownJedi:
To clarify, from your comment on the original thread, this method allows functionality through the use of DRM keys (not my DRM keys but ones that will still work) from KifKat, on Lollipop, and is NOT the same thing as what those of us without keys on KifKat were using which was patched files?

More simply put, is this a method that patches files to restore things or is it more along the lines of spoofing the phone into thinking the keys on the TA partition are valid?

Either way I'm happy, would like to know if I should be simply aroused or go ahead with the orgasm<---yes, I edited just to say that :p

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akyhussain:
Hi,

just bought a xperia z3. After my experiences with previous phones, I know how clumsy I am and how easily I damage my phones. This time I want to look after it.

I am after a very protective case but nothing too bulky. I once has a TPU gel case for my previous phone (Galaxy S5) and when I dropped it, despite being in the gel case the phone still suffered a dent. SO after such an experience, this time I definitely want something that can absorb shocks.

I have seen the TECH21 case for the Z3 and was wondering whether anyone can offer any feedback or reviews on it. I know about TECH21 and their brilliant D30 material which is best in industry at protecting phones. My main concern with it atm is I don't think it is the nicest looking case and I would have liked to get a case which preserves the look and shape of the sexy Z3.

XDA wont let me post a link of the case but if you type in "tech21 xperia z3" on Google and click on the 3rd link then you will see it.

If anyone can offer any feedback or alternative cases that fulfill my criteria.

Thanks! :):):)

I'm waiting for Spigen slim armor. It is sexy and provides double layered protection but maybe slightly bulky. I have it on my N5, it looks slick and I dropped my phone enough times over a year to cause dents and scratches all over the case but never cracked or shattered the screen. Also had a ZAGG Invisibleshield screen protector which still looks awesome.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlyingCheese:
did you get yours from aliexpress as well or is it somehow an original spigen slim armor? I purchased some from AliExpress back in early February, but they still havent arrived :(

damn our lazy customs
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKlutz:
Re-read my post. In case it wasn't clear: I bought the official Spigen slim armor for my nexus 5 over a year ago, and I'm waiting for official slim armor for Z3.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlyingCheese:
my bad, i thought that you meant waiting as in waiting to arrive at your doorstep. There's a chinese rip-off that at least looks kinda good, but apparently is fragile. I'm a sucker for the slim armor as well, best phone case I've ever had
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKlutz:
Whatever you do, do NOT buy Spigen ultra hybrid for Z3.

The buttons are so tight that just slightly tapping anywhere on the right edge results in both power and volume buttons being pressed down. In addition to that nightmare and consequently, you cannot power on or off the screen since the volume buttons are being pushed in as well. The ultra hybrid for Z3 is no good.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlyingCheese:
I wouldn't anyways. I'd rather have my USB port closed out than not being able to dock the phone without removing the case at night.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grungypoo:
^ Pretty lucky I didn't get the spigen then.

I just got my z3 (from an s3) and was looking at spigen as I had spigen accessories for the s3 and had a relatively good run with it.

I ended up buying a Nilkin for the accessories. z3 stuff below:

http://www.nillkin.com/english/product.asp?bid=982&mid=2&sid=0&tid=0

Got the 9H tempered glass and the super frosted hard back cover case.

The tempered glass came with a back glass sheeting protector, but I found the hard cover case to be quite adequte. Slim enough to not be bulky, but has enough of an edge to give some level of protection if it were to fall on a flat surface. I was also considering getting the armor border cases but it seems like it'd add some bulk, plus the if it's too big it'll be hard to access the ports/plugs. Just waiting for my magnetic chargers to come in now...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warface:
I had a Tech21 case on my original Z. It was great.

Can't find one in the UK for my Z3 though. I'm using a Ringke Fusion clear case, which is good too.

I'd normally use a Casemate Tough, but I like showing off my copper Z3 :D

Oh, and get a good 9h glass front. It's so much nicer than the one that comes on the phone. Less fingerprints too.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mario999:
I don't think Spigen will make a Slim Armour case. All the big manufacturers such as UAG, Trident and others seem to have skipped the Z3. I'm using the Incipio case which seems to be one of the best.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Security555:
I was all night busy trying to convince myself that something wrong with a recordings quality and bitrate, trying all possible bitrates. Today my girl friend and cousin, both having M8, after direct comparison, confirmed this. No one from both M8 has this odd sound distortion. I'm just one with this problem? I'm really frustrated, moreover I don't see any significant improvement over M8. I'm really disappointed with a sound, i remember the difference between M7 and M8, and what we've got this time around, same speakers just another EQ settings, Dolby has nothing to do with hardware, just software settings. This is never the M9, this is definitely M8 second edition for 750€. I have a serious question, what HTC did one year long??? I'll try to bring it back to media markt, will see. Hope the One M9 + or whatsoever will offer more for appropriate amount of money.

What is yours experience?

And please don't offer Samsung! There's no alternative on the market, I need design, metal, stereo and Android!

I have DD on my M8 and agree with him that it sounds amazing. Especially with headphones.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jauhien:
The sound quality difference (including its clarity, detalization and loudness) between M9 and M7 is about 3.5 times - in either way: BoomSound or the ear-buds set..
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0nc:
Yes, 3.5 times, but only through the speakers. Through headphones M7 better in 3.5 times! I was shocked when I heard the sound in Hi-Fi headphones from M9 compared to m7. We expect that the new device should be at least no worse than the old.

I just hope for future updates.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuailan:
As much as we all dream or hope..but we have to accept the reality that samsung is using edge owners as guinea pigs to test out the market...which lead them to release s6 edge. The note edge is only a "test" product for samsung. Dont think they will improve any further not to mention even updating to 5.1 ....guess tough luck for us edge owners..
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markyboy81:
Well I'm used to being a Samsung guinea pig after owning the galaxy camera, s4 zoom, galaxy nx and now the edge.

To be honest I think that the edge will get lollipop eventually, but I'm not that fussed to be honest. I bought the Edge on what it can do now, and still think it offers a lot more than the note 4. Plus reports are that lollipop for the note 4 has bugs a plenty...
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuailan:
Well we have loly already...in fact im already running it..but it seem they wont update them to 5.1. Personally i have no problem since my edge is already fast and smooth.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KDKobes:
5.0 is a prequsite to 5.1 and will come to the Sprint variant via ota but not until Q4 or later depending on delays. 5.1 (Sprint variant) updates the radio/modem, connectivity issues.

I can't speak for Verizon/at&t/T-Mobile as each carrier sends out their own ota updates NOT Samsung so its not Samsung's fault you don't have lollipop that is your wireless carriers fault so blame them. Its completely up to your wireless carrier to release the update or not...some carriers do more testing than others some add more bloatware. Basically your wireless carrier gets the update and they add their insignia, bloatware, carrier apps, restrict tethering, add locked boot loader, so on and so forth.

If your an at&t customer expect them to keep locking it down so its harder to root...they love their locked bootloaders.

Sprint & T-Mobile tend to have the least amount of bloatware/changes hence why its released quicker.
