[General Questions and Answers] leeu01:
I have a question. Our developer has created a first version of an app. Now we can test the app on an android Phone and an android Phone. But till then there is no communication at all. We don't know why but it is......

Our next step is to finish the app with another developer. But there is one question.

Is the app file on both phone's also the source file. So can a next developer finish the app (read: fix the latest changments) where the last developer has stopped??

The app on the apple is tested with testflight and the one on the android is send by mail and is an Original android app extention!!

Can someone give me an answer so we can decide if the app should be redesigned from the beginning or we can continue developing/finishing the app
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcksony:
I just got my phone 3 months ago, this is my first ever high end smartphone that my parents bought for me (costs $800 here in PH). Now, we went for a swimming, my phone is inside my pocket, then my cousin suddenly pushed me to the pool. My phone's flap (USB/micro sd part) was already not working because the rubber that holds it got removed. Then my phone died, I panicked for minutes, didn't know what to do, since I'm not in our home and I don't have any drier or anything. I tried to turn on the screen, it went back but it blacked out again. I removed the memory card and my sim card, I tried to blow it then let dry in the towel. After an hour, I put it in a bowl of rice to let it moist for two days as suggested by my Aunt. After like 2 hours, I checked my phone, it was warm (37-40 C maybe), it was still on, and it produce a sound for like every 5 mins. I turned it off by clicking the power button and the up volume together, it vibrated for three times, I put it again in the bowl.

Just right now I checked my phone, I turned it on. The Sony logo just appeared by a second then black, after that the android logo came up. When it got to the lockscreen for like 2 secs the screen suddenly shut down!

OMG what am I gonna do now? Is my phone already dead? This is so expensive my parents are gonna kill me . I need some help right now. I cant go to any service center of Sony right now because it's Holy Week here in the Philippines. Do you have any suggestions for me? (Sorry for my very long story and bad english)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlebunV2:
Your phone is dead.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
You fried it lol just power it off for minimum 24 hours in rice or silica gel and Do Not use a drier lol

Why would you power it on after only 2 hours?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howlbeck:
Yes, do that for more than 24 hrs and pray. A lot.

Had this once with a S3, but it was never completely under water, just totally soaked from heavy rain while hiking. It worked until I smashed the screen two times in a short row.

As a sidenote: even if the Z3c is promoted as waterproof, I'd never take it close to any situation where it could get totally wet. Even if hiking and inside a case and my pockets I always put it in a ziplock bag if rain is to be expected...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tudork:
I'm happily playing ingress on my phone in the pouring rain. No case, no ridiculous zip lock bag.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlebunV2:
That's the most ridiculous thing I've read all day.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazzeru:
Return for guaranty.

It's supposed to be waterproof.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luizlee86:
Obviously not with the flaps open...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazzeru:
From what he said, they were closed, but defective. Which happens if you open them regularly to charge / connect to pc.

Defective flaps are also a motive to return. The phone is IP65/68. As such, it shouldn't be damaged in any way from continuous immersion before 3 meters.

Obviously if bootloader is still locked. (even so, I think a lawyer could force them to take the phone under warranty. The eula is quite vague about "modifying the phone")
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luizlee86:
Yeah it is waterproof and a defective flap is a reason to get it fixed under warranty. But if you have a defective flap and you drop it in the water then Sony does not have to fix the whole phone.

Well, this is how it works here in Brazil.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpurick:
Who pushed you in the water with a cell phone in your pocket? Why can't this be their fault?

Phone is likely bricked.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerverg:
What? You put a waterproof phone in a ziplock bag?

I took my z3c swimming with me in my pocket in pools, the sea, and some waterfalls. Taking pictures and videos, the primary reason I bought it. No case, no ziplock bags and it's perfectly fine.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howlbeck:
Good for you :)

However, better safe than sorry - regardless if some find it ridiculous, I don't care.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkNate34:
You shouldn't have bought a waterproof phone then.

But my Z3C was only 8 days old. Water drops got inside USB Flaps, even though it was closed properly, no damage, no nothing. I think it was some thread though. Tested it second time, as was good.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howlbeck:
I did buy it because of a lot of things, none of them being waterproof...

I care for my gadgets as I don't buy them on a plan/budget but at full price. It's easy to get it for 1 EUR/USD or whatever and then complain if it gets destroyed because of "supplier promised, supplier has to fix it at no cost" mentality. Anyway, each to his own. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tudork:
Not to extend a useless discussion, but I also buy my phones at full price, no network discount. And one of the reason I bought this phone is its resistance to water. I haven't swam with it yet, I'll be scared before I do, but rain... Even my Motorola razr maxx could take rain drops. This phone can easily take rain.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howlbeck:
I don't think it's useless, it shows how we care about our phones.

I agree, there is rain and rain. You call it a few drops, I call it getting soaked in heavy rain while outdoors for hours with no chance of cover. Eventually you will get soaked to the skin, including your gadgets.

If everybody here takes it to the shower, pool, sea or whatever - so be it. If it survives - good. If it doesn't: do not complain. Simple.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkNate34:
If it doesn't survive when all precautions are taken (Flaps properly closed and dipped solely in Fresh water), Sony is liable, if they deny warranty then it's time for a lawyer.

I'm only a kid, they took me for granted with my Z1 (Defective screen and Speaker) until I threatened them with Legal consequences.

back 4 months ago. My former Galaxy S4 was dropped into water for about 3 seconds. I took it out, remove battery and everything, but in the rice box for 3 days. Turned back on, work totally fine !!

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] aWpTiger:
Hello , i am 13 and i like to test lots of things on my nexus 5. Today i decided to create my own boot animations.

Currently i have only one that is attached below and not so exciting , but i'll keep this thread updated with my new creations.

PS : Can you explain me how to put it in the thread? Like a preview

[EDIT] - New boot animation available. Download it below (BAtry2) , it's smoother :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Welcome!

I'll start with some tips for boot animations on the Nexus 5:

- Frame dimensions should not exceed 1080x768 or 720x1280; any larger and many users experience lockups. (I used to use 1080x720 as a max value, but 768 appears to work OK).

- Frame count in a folder must not exceed 199.

- Keep individual frame files under 200k if at all possible. For a small frame count (less than 20), I'd still target well-under 300k.

- Keep the complete zip archive a reasonable size (my largest zip animation is still under 13mb).

- You're telling a story with the animation; keep the focus to about 9 seconds or less. The animation loop or main part of the animation should either perform a complete cycle or be finished in this time.

- Remove transparencies from the images ("flatten" them). The only time I've seen transparent images in boot animations is as the framework level; a zip animation doesn't benefit from them.

- Always "touch" the 1080 screen width, either with the frames set to a width of 1080 (on a black background), or scaled with the desc.txt to 1080. Some ROMs will stretch the images to 1080. Ex: you have frames that are 640x640; some ROMs will stretch the image to 1080x640.

Your animation:

- Frame images are very large (900k)

- Frame dimensions are large (1080x1920)

- I'm seeing some transparency artefacts left in the image (on images 3 & 4). The transparent areas should be either black or white. I'm guessing that you want them black; they may show up as white areas. Odd that they're there.

Overall, a great start. I like the animation, and what you're doing with 4 frames is cool. Scale the images to 720x1080 (keep the desc.txt file at 1080x1920). If you save the frames as 80 quality jpg images, the files will be under 250k. You could also convert the frames to 256 (8-bit) colors, but that may degrade the overall look of your images. The advantage to JPG is that it will "flatten" the image, as it doesn't support transparency; unfortunately, it will change transparent areas to white.

As far as previews go, you need to have the images or animations on external sites, and call them through the html script. I use Photobucket.com. Some folks use Imgur.com.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] aWpTiger:
Well , i'll try to make a new boot animation based on your tips :D. And thanks for your time! If you want subscribe to the thread to see my new animations :D
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Oh, and the desc.txt file:

1080 1920 30

p 800 0 part0

Just have "p 0 0 part0". The first zero implies an infinite loop.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] aWpTiger:
So i have to modify to 0 for an infinite loop?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kostask11:
Hello, i was wondering if it possible to somehow make the home button function the same way as it does on a Galaxy S6.

By that I mean , if it is possible to launch the camera by double tapping on the home button EVEN when the screen is locked (like S6)

I've managed to install Home2shortcut which lets you customize what action double tapping the home button will occur (opening an app etc) but i won't work with locked screen.

So, please if anyone else wants this on their S5, do help :) :highfive: :good: :fingers-crossed: :victory:

Thanks for your time :D
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumilica:
Yep, I'm searching for the same thing. Double tap to camera even when locked! I think it's quite hard to do it.

For now I'm using 'all in one gestures' from gplay to long press home button to launch camera. It works pretty well, but still not from locked.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luiscp:
Giving this thread a bump as I am looking for the same feature.

Home2shortcut is really good, except when the screen is locked or turned off, unlike the S6.

[One (M9) General] Jonny:
Right, so you think that jcase and beaups should give SunShine licenses for free because they've personally had to purchase 4 (yes FOUR) M9 devices, and are probably going to buy another (sim-locked) one to get SIM unlocking working.

Lets do the math for you. Assume each device costs $650:

5*650 = $3,250

That is just on raw device money, add to that the time for R&D, the cost of how they got the skills to be able to do what they do in the first place, the cost of the software (JEB and IDA Pro) and your talking of upwards of $6,000.

To put that in terms you will understand 6000/40 (assuming you live on $40 per week) is 150 weeks worth of money to you - just under 3 years.

Most people would not be afford just to drop that amount of money for free. jcase and beaups are no exception so they need to recuperate that cost somehow.

If after reading this post you or anyone else still thinks SunShine should be free then you are an idiot.
[One (M9) General] sausje85:
I still do, because it's about principles here. More than enough would donate for this cause, prolly even more than those $25.

The fact of the matter is, that all of this is a hobby, we are here to help each other right? Not to get better off others backs..

But it's ok, already looking into spoofing the auth package, sick and tired of what this community has become since i came here in 2008, it's disgusting really.
[One (M9) General] Jonny:
Actually they don't - when the bounties were set up a while back for things like S-OFF and root, users where promising to donate left, right and center. When the exploits were released, guess what? They took the exploit and ran off with it (ie didn't donate). Hence no return on investment for guys like jcase and beaups, meaning it was not just economically not viable to keep doing it that way but would have been economically stupid and bankrupted them.

Anyways, I noticed your more than happy to leach off this community for free but are unwilling to give anything back - that's part of the ethos of XDA, to learn, share and develop. Frankly if your not here for those reasons you shouldn't be here at all.

If having it for free bothers you that much then learn to do it yourself.
[One (M9) General] sausje85:
Well was it setup with a middle man that collected it before doing the whole thing? Because ofc nobody should be doing anything on promises alone, that wouldn't be a smart move.

I can understand where you are coming from, and i certainly think that they should get something for doing this, but it shouldn't be on a forced basis... Next thing we get is devs asking money for their special rom features and than the whole rom and kernels, where does it end?!

This community was all about a shared hobby we had, which is customizing our smartphones, the time invested was done to help others and gain some fame in the process and for that those with money to spare gave them in return some money for what they did..

I guess you didn't even bother checking my posts, where i could help i did, where i had knowledge of someone asking i did help, you can't ask more than that...
[One (M9) General] augie7107:
My two cents, I have no problem with the fee or paying it. I'm pleased its available.
[One (M9) General] Jonny:
No it wasn't - it was set up so that a list of donators was in the OP alongside the amount. Donations/bounty were not upfront, they were only for after the exploit was released and there was no middle man, users aren't stupid and nor would we as moderators allow something like a middleman setup.

We have specific rules in place to stop people from charging for ROM's and kernels, developers are not even allowed to ask for payment for advanced beta versions - take note though that in general ROM's and kernels do not require the huge investment of time and money that developing root and S-OFF exploits do, any idiot with a copy of WinZip and Notepad++ can make a custom ROM (I'm tempted to name some well known names here but will resist :p ). However, SunShine is posted in the paid apps and software section and obeys all the forum rules for software being posted there.
[One (M9) General] jauhien:
Several last posts from you in this thread are disgusting.

P.S. And as a member of Elevate issued with a handheld you're not meant seeking Sunshine for free.
