[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] sitnamzug132:
I called Sprint in March to activate the international roaming provision for my S5 and was surprised to hear $5/month unlimited talk/text/data plan in Japan. I traveled to Tokyo in mid-April and enjoyed a solid 3G signal the entire trip. Just a heads up that after landing and switching over to GSM/UMTS at first I wasn't getting any data. I had to update my PRL & profile and after that everything worked great for the entire trip. Meanwhile, my buddy with AT&T ended up renting a mobile hotspot which cost him around $60 for the week.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] mmark27:
What kind of speeds were you getting on 3G? Did you disable LTE or was it not picking up LTE?

Isn't the roaming plan 2G? Did you buy a pack of 3G data? Or is Japan special since it's our parent company's homeland?

sent from an underwater dust storm from my Sprint S5
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] sitnamzug132:
I didn't test extensively because I was on vacation and quite frankly just happy to have a solid signal. From outside my hotel in Shibuya I was getting 1.1 Mbps down consistently when I tested mid-day. I never had trouble with my signal wherever I was in Tokyo, or at Narita airport. I didn't disable LTE, but I only ever received 3G the entire trip. I didn't buy any extra 3G data, just the $5 monthly charge from Sprint.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] abeln2672:
Weird (maybe stupid) question about this: does the unlimited voice and text include calls to numbers based in Japan and the US? So in Japan, calling home to the US would be free, but also calling a friend in Japan on his/her cell would be free?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] mmark27:
I'm sure you guys have seen this, but

http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=11970

http://www.sprint.com/landings/openworld/index.html?ECID=vanity:openworld

This is taking the place of the value international roaming as far as I'm gathering across the interwebs. Seems like a pretty solid deal and still includes Japan on there, but I think that data is now charged out $30 for 1gig in Japan and other non-latin american countries.

Hey guys :))))

Okay so i have try many ways to ... well... make our little E3 look like Z3 (because E3 is a cheaper version of Z3 anyway :))) )

In this thread, i will show you how to transform the E3 to Z3 :))

BACK UP ALL THE FILES. ROOT AND sony_ric DISABLED REQUIRED

READ IT CAREFULLY, I WILL NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES

DO NOT USE THE AUTO METHOD BY tshock (still, thank you for doing so)BECAUSE IT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE THEMES

Step 1: Download all the files

Step 2: Unzip it

Step 3: Copy to a folder on your phone SD card

Step 4: Go to system/apps (system is on read/write mode)

After this step, you can either

Step 5: Make the backups of these file: + BlackThemBlueAccent.apk

+ ClockWidgets.apk

+ all the ...Theme.apk (for example, OrangeTheme.apk)

+ Skin1.apk

+ Home.apk

+ skin-core.apk

+ WallpaperPicker.apk

+ XperiaLockScreen.apk

Step 6: Copy all the files i gave you into this directory (system/apps)

Step 7: Delete all the files in step 5 because you have already backed those up on to SD card

Or you can just copy and replace :)))) BUT REMEMBER TO DELETE ALL THE OLD THEMES BECAUSE IT WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS MODDED skin-core.apk

Step 8: Set permissions of the XperiaLockScreen.apk, Home.apk, skin-core.apk and WallpaperPicker.apk to mode: 644

Step 9: Reboot

Step 10: Enjoy :)))))

Note: For some of you who don't get the lockscreen effect work, change the theme to Xperia™

Click the Thank button if it worked so that i can have motivation for my next project on our beloved E3 :3 :3 :3 And give me recommendation on what should i do next? :))
[Sony Xperia E3] t-shock:
Very good job but after that ONLY Launcher works.

No lockscreen effect nor Themes
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
You need to change the wallpaper to xperia live wallpaper for the new screen effect

Change into any of the themes for the sparkling effect to work (see screenshots)
[Sony Xperia E3] t-shock:
Yes but the themes didn't worked with me
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
wut bro? why???
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
i think because he have an LTE varriant (D2203) and you tested on non lte (d2212)
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Worked for me.
[Sony Xperia E3] t-shock:
Everything :confused: :confused:
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Yeah.
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
Mine is D2202. I tested on my friend D2203 and it worked well, whats wrong?
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
well then he did it incorrectly
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
Maybe he hasn't disable sony_ric
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
Hey bro, i need status on 5.1 rom :((((((((((
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
5.1 port plan cancled.

(in lte devices no network no wifi no nfc no blutooth) why should we port use less rom.

[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia E3] uday94:
dont delete these files copy and replace them . and no need to delete skin-core . if you delete this you will not be able to open themes.

i have not deleted anything and its working fine .
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
New skin-core bruh, new one cuz in the file i gave the new one, the old one is not compatible with the z3 theme. The reason you are seeing that theme work cuz you replace it with the one i uploaded :)))
[Sony Xperia E3] rizkydztar:
I cant find skincore.apk in this rar file, could you share the new skin core for theme ?
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
you just need to copy and replcae the file i gave you, the skin-core.apk will be uploaded soon
[Sony Xperia E3] rizkydztar:
Already done sir, worked great, im waiting skincore.apk for your shared theme
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
What do you mean? If it worked?
[Sony Xperia E3] rizkydztar:
All worked except theme i mean, that why i need skincore.apk
[Sony Xperia E3] Pietro007:
how can i disable sony_ric please, i saw it here on forum but the post is edited and the part of sony ric disabling process is removed
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
Why you need it.

Pre Sony_ric disabled kernel is available.

Use a text editor to edit enable file in /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable

Replace 1 with 0 done

Sony_ric will be disabled until you reboot.

This also works on Xperia E1 D2005 devices too.
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
oh?!?! wow, i never thought it would work @@ how? but it doesn't seems to fit the screen much :)
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
I only exchanged the clock widget, xperia home, xperia lockscreen, music widget, ExperienceFlow2LiveWallpaper and wallpaper picker apks. If you overwrite them it fails, however if you delete originals from system/app first then copy Z3 apks and reboot without leaving file manager, android upgrades on the reboot then the new theme elements work fine.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

Funny I thought that about the E3, however I always felt E1 home screen rather cramped so gave me idear to try on that device. I have a few E1's that are rooted, on the .13 kit kat build with philz touch recovery and Sony ric disabled via custom kernel, so after working out to delete then replace apks it's fine from a functional point of view.
[Sony Xperia E3] ShanePunk123:
I think I have a problem... :/ (Solved)

Why can't I set any theme?? I did everything manually... not with the zip. And also I accidentally deleted my back up of the original apk files. Could someone plz upload them?? for D2203 and Also why do I have so much spacing between the icons in the app drawer?? Rest everything working well. Plz help me with the theme problem and the icon space in the app drawer.

edit... Problem solved after restarting two three time... idk how but it did workout.. :D and about the space in app drawer, I installed GEM xperia thing and increased icon size from 100 to 125 and back to normal.. Now everything working perfectly fine...
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
Glad to see it worked :3
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
you can try adding more z3 on e3 by

/system/priv-app/systemUI.apk

/system/framework/framework-res.apk

from z3

but make backup before it i don,t know it will work or not.
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
I will try my friend, right after this week
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
and after this e3 will 100% look like z3.
[Sony Xperia E3] ShanePunk123:
Sparkling Effect

I just wish that the sparkling effect (the main highlight) also worked with the security pattern and pin in the lock screen. Because it only works with swipe and that leaves us with no security in our phone.... :silly: is there anyway that we could make it swipe first and then the pattern lock comes up??

edit... In the GEM xperia app, there's an option to slide before unlock... That just did the trick... now the sparkle effect comes with the pattern lock as well... :D
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
Why ? :))) you asked me to solve it and then you solved it yourself?! :v
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
not only once he did it 2x times.

all i can say

try solving first ask only at faliure
[Sony Xperia E3] filipao223:
Hi. I followed the manual procedure but I'm stuck in the simple launcher. I've replaced all files and set permissions correctly. What went wrong?
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
what about reboot.

did you rebooted device after dng this.
[Sony Xperia E3] filipao223:
Yep. Rebooted about 4 times.

I also tried to restoring the original files but even after doing that I can't change from the simple launcher.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
how did you set up permissions

i mean which app you used and how.
[Sony Xperia E3] filipao223:
I used ES File Explorer. Went to file properties and checked the first two boxes in the first line and then the first boxes in the other ones.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
then permission is correct.

go to setting/home

and select xperia home
[Sony Xperia E3] filipao223:
In settings/home, I only have the simple launcher option.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
what.

download again. and replace home.apk in setting/app

reset permission,s reboot.

then switch to home.
[Sony Xperia E3] filipao223:
Still nothing. I think I'm gonna give up and just reflash the FTF.
[Sony Xperia E3] ShanePunk123:
Pretty much happens to me... :P First I post about a problem then I solve it somehow.... :silly: and It's ok I also edited and if someone in future face the same problem, they can read through and get some help... :D
[Sony Xperia E3] ShanePunk123:
I couldn't at first do it as well... I used root browser and set the permission of all the apks (in the pack) after copying to 644 and rebooted. It worked. See the screenshot if it helps... It's only showing for clockwidget but I set permission of all the apks, themes including then only it worked for me. ;)
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
Yes correct permission settings and first deleting the original apk's in system/app before copying in the new Z3 ones then reboot without exiting file manager seems to work best I have found.

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

Do you have these other Z3 apk's please Vinay?
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
Was running with Z3 unlock screen, however with E3 home screen. Switched to Z3 home now.
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
nope i don,t have z3 apk or z3
[Sony Xperia E3] ShanePunk123:
Ya I found that replacing them didn't work... But first deleting the original ones then copying the modded ones help.... :good:

---------- Post added at 02:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 AM ----------

Looking great.... I replaced that google search bar as it overlays the widgets... Annoying... :eek:
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
With all that said even with correct permission settings in place 1 in every 5 boots results in the home screen having stopped after unlock screen completed. However once ok has been selected it refreshes and runs fine.
[Sony Xperia E3] ShanePunk123:
Ohh..That doesn't happen to me... IDK what's wrong with you...
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
It's nothing major, i didn't clear my home screen settings after switching Home screen apk's.

The nova launcher via play store works very well with E3 hardware, along with Z3 unlock screen if your unable to obtain original E3 home screen. It also supports the extra clock widgets for Z3 that don't work with E3 home screen.
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
Nova launcher isn't Sony stock yah know? Also, the Xperia Lock Screen on play store isn't stable and it is very easy to bypass (some times you will get double lock- App lockscreen + Original lockscreen) so yeah... there is a reason for me to do this you know...
[Sony Xperia E3] kevinhecox99:
Thanks dude :) i will keep posting things like this, and currently working on lollipop rom (very unstable) so yep :3 thanks a lot for all of your supports

i tried to change only clock widgets but when i use it, xperia home stopped working

i changed home also but no change

i want only clock widgets..........
[Sony Xperia E3] image45:
Yes I was having same issue with xperia home stopping a lot. That's why I tried the nova launcher as it was more stable while running Z3 xperia unlock screen and Z3 clock widgets. I know and was advised in an above post by kevinhecox99 that it's not Sony stock, however it did offer a stable alternative to support the other Z3 theme elements made available in this topic.

You can enable lollipop ? style icons too, as seen on home screen.

I was able to use hex colour on the widgets and apps to support the home screen too a better degree as the screen grab shows.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriss880:
Hey guys, two questions. One, why do I have so many status icons on the right side of the status bar, and how do I get rid of them. And two. Can anyone tell me what the icon is between the GPS location and vibrate icon. I can't find the meaning anywhere. Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scorpion311:
Hmmm

You can get rid of the most icons but not all.

Lets start from the left side of the notification bar.

1. Saver- You can turn off the saver and the icon will go.

2. then You have taken a screenshot , so You clear it by pulling down the notification bar and clearing it.

3. then You are using facebook messenger the would remain their or simply drag down Your chat and the icon would go (Your chat would go)

4. You can turn off Your location services and the pointer icon will go.

5. You can turn off You NFC when not needed and its icon will also go

6. And among the rest , You cant get rid of the profile icon nor the signals but yes You can turn off the battery percentage ( but percentage really helps).

I guess i didnt help You much

sorry

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xphobic:
For all the experts out there, is there a way to revert back to the old bluetooth as what they have use for in WM 5. I am on WM 6 and cannot seem to connect with my Pioneer BT100 headunit. Jetware didnt solve the problem either. I am on JJ Black super fast 3 . I have also updated the bluetooth patch, but it still cant work.

It was working ok when i was on the WM5. Any kind soul would be able to point me or guide me on switching back to the old bluetooth.

Thank you in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Mark Crouch:
Probably not possible....

Don't think that's an option - it's unlikely that you can retrofit WM5 BT stack into WM6.....

Options (realistically) are:

1. Wait for JJ/Walshieau to sort out the BT driver fix(es) they're working on.

2. Re-flash your phone with Black 2.5 - seems to fix most people's BT problems?

3. Re-flash back to a WM5 ROM

Personally, I'd go with option 1, but if the BT problems are giving you real grief you may want to try options 2 or 3 - depending on how bad the problem is ;)

Mark.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] faria:
yes it is very much possible....all you got to do is copy the required files and reg keys from the wm5 rom to the wm6 rom....this has to be donne in the rom dump...prior to rum imgfs tools....my wizard roms run with wm5 bt drivers...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] k2bikerider:
I'm going with option 1

Try to hang tight for JJ to sort out the BT stuff for Black 3.x, I'm having issue as well as well as the Hermes not coming out of sleep mode....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdslw:
Not sure how exactly to describe my problem other than my wifi has never worked on my Note 4. I got fed up with it and finally had a replacement device ordered after a 4th trip to the sprint store for service where the last tech finally agreed that the device was defective only to have the same problem with the new phone too. I love the phone and after having the Note 2 for a couple of trouble free years wanted this one to replace it but I'm lost for words right now. We have 3 Galaxy S5's and the Note 4 on the same account, under the same roof, using the same routers, tv's to connect to, etc... all s5's work flawlessly with wifi, and using Allshare on our Samsung Smart tv (which we use a lot) so I know there's no issue with any other equipment and this issue is everywhere I go, not just at home. As far as me knowing what I'm doing, well maybe I'm missing something but I've had Android phones since day one and have been rooting since the Epic 4g (no root on the Note 4) so I'd like to think that I'd catch some kind of setting here plus 4 techs have re-set, updated, double checked, and replaced the phone with no luck. Here's what it does, power the phone up and connect to wifi, no problem, visit website or watch video no problem, super fast like it should be, about a minute later blue circle loading video or load next page and get a could not connect to network or refresh page. At that time I can simply switch wifi off and the page or video will load and be fine. Switch wifi back on same thing, works like a champ for about a minute then nothing. Then there's Allshare, never had a problem with my Note 2, ever, all of our s5's work flawlessly, try to connect my Note 4 and the tv can't detect the phone and the phone can't detect the tv. It will work every so often but only for about 30 seconds and freeze then you can't connect again. One more issue I believe to be having is the gps, I ride a road bike a couple times a week and track my mileage using a bike computer app, sometimes it will track me sometimes it won't at all, and if I use the Navigation I constantly get the "lost gps signal" message. I need some help here, I'm tired of going to the Sprint Store, I just want a phone that works! That bill keeps coming every month and each time I pay it I get pissed off that my 9 year old has a better working phone than me and I have the Next Big Thing. So far its been a big disappointment!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Did you factory reset after lollipop OB7 update?

Check your Wi-Fi and GPS settings. I believe most routers won't allow address conflicts but check your router for connected devices and make sure that isn't happening. Do you restrict wireless to MAC address on your router? Maybe you need to update the trusted MAC table?

May just be a factory reset takes care of the issues. If not, compare settings with the other phones.

Still not working? Try some static IP settings and set DNS to Google. (Long press your router in Wi-Fi networks and select modify, check advanced settings and scroll. You should see the Google DNS servers dimly lit just enter the same numbers) If not, Google it.

I can't compare the s5 to the Note 4 but comparing the Epic to Note 4, Wi-Fi signal strength and speed of connection is much better on the Note 4; I see more Wi-Fi networks, too. I haven't navigated with Note 4 so I can't compare that.
