[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jdjohn:
Did everyone get the recent email from Sprint about free international data and texting? This is great news since I will be traveling to Europe in a couple of months, but I'm wondering if our HTC Ones will work without a hitch, or if a GSM hack will be required. The email says you need an 'LTE/GSM-capable device'. I know we have LTE with Sprint here in the US, but does this mean Europe has LTE/CDMA towers? I thought they only had GSM. TIA
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hokius_maximus:
My Spint HTC One m7 worked fine over in Europe in previous trips without any tweaks except turning on international roaming (voice/data). The recently announced service works on GSM network and doesn't include LTE/4G. It is 2G service. So while it is free (and equivalent to T-Mobile), it is going to be slow.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
Just like Sprint service here. You won't notice the difference! :silly:

[X 2014 General] dh2311:
Title above sums it up. In all my years of owning smartphones and being so careful, I have never once smashed a screen through dropping it. Until a few weeks ago. My poor baby fell on the bathroom floor and shattered to pieces. It was ruined.

After many hours of googling, I found that there seems to be NO repair companies in the UK who will replace the screen, and whilst the glass portion can be purchased for under £10 on ebay, its an absolute nightmare to fit.

So reluctantly I contacted Motorola for a repair. After about a week of emails I was told to send it off to Germany and they'll take a look and give me a quote. Fortunately I managed to convince them to cover the postage cost for me :victory: :victory:

So off he went to Germany (yeah, my phones a he!). After what seemed like a lovely holiday of about 10 days (combination of sending it right over the easter bank holiday, and apparently very un-stereotypical German inefficiency) I got my quote back.

OUCH! :crying::crying: €238,04 - Around £180

FOR A SCREEN. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY POUNDS...

Now I know its my own stupidity, and I can't complain because I'm the dumb idiot who dropped it in the first place, and didn't have a case on it. BUT WOW THATS MORE THAN I WAS EXPECTING.

Which gave me the dilemma of pay it, or sell off my old friend with a smashed screen and buy something else / one without a smashed screen.

I'm reluctantly agreeing to pay it, but I have just ordered a case and tempered glass protector. £30 protecting your phone screen is well worth it! Especially with this phone!
[X 2014 General] niko99:
i feel your pain , same here

i try to change this glass with hot air station etc. but i broke LCD :(

ps. i drop phone from around 30cm on pavement and i win - 220usd
[X 2014 General] dh2311:
I wish I had a photo of mine when I broke it, the whole panel literally just shattered. I looked at repair tutorials, having repaired an old ipod back in the day, but I didn't want to go anywhere near repairing this.
[X 2014 General] Paddington:
At least this screen is better than the 2013 version. I don't even know how my 2013 screen cracked. I noticed no cracks when I got in the shower, then it had a huge crack when I got out of the shower. It was on the bathroom counter playing music. My only guess is that the steam from the shower cracked the glass. In all my days, I had never seen anything like it. I had done the same with phones and tablets before and after, but have only seen the problem from the Moto X 2013.
[X 2014 General] whyteboyello:
I just dropped mine last week and it was the first time I ever cracked a screen. Moto told me it would be estimated at $125 to fix and sent me a replacement before I sent them the one I broke. They actually cancelled the charge!
[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
Have you got house insurance, as with mine I it covers a certain amount of cash on items outside the home.
[X 2014 General] dh2311:
Okay, well after about 2 weeks, I have now received an email saying that it could not be repaired and that I will be sent a new one! :D

Should have an X code tomorrow and I will be able to design a whole new one! I'm willing to accept the delay for a free redesign, I had 2nd thoughts about the white front.
[X 2014 General] Zammo76:
Wow good news!

How long had you had your phone?
[X 2014 General] dh2311:
I've had it since November of last year, so about 5 months. Still no X-Code from them yet, and the wait is killing me. But Red and Black Moto X is what I'm going for this time
[X 2014 General] godutch:
and, did you get a new phone? how much did they charge?

(just broke my display, just the display, not the outer glass)
[X 2014 General] dh2311:
Sorry yeah, I got the new one. Really love the colours! They did it for the cost of the repair. I don't think its common policy in the UK though, as customer service seemed unaware of the concept of an x code.
[X 2014 General] crpalmer:
In the USA, I paid $125 and they sent me a refurb phone with my customizations and after receiving that "new" phone I sent back the broken one.

Fyi, my screen was pretty much destroyed (unusable).

Very good service (although I think they need that level of service when I have since cracked the replacement from a 16" fall out of my pocket).

[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] UsernameWasTaken:
My other, non-Sony Android can install ported Sony apps, incl. Walkman, through adb or from SD card, but when searching for them on PS, they don't show. What changes are needed in build.prop file to fool play store? Just replacing the manufacturer name with "Sony" doesn't do the trick. I don't want to edit too much of the build.prop, even if it is backed up.
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] le grande magnetto:
I couldnt find it through search too. I firs find any other sony app in store, then chose developer (sony), and there was ful list of sony apps including walkman.

[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] UsernameWasTaken:
I don't get the bold part.

Perhaps you mean you open "More by Sony Mobile Communications (SEE MORE)" section on an app's page and you get the list of all Sony apps, incl Walkman, Album, Video, etc? If that's the case, I still don't have those apps in that list. I do have Xperia Diagnostics, Audio Recorder, TrackID, Smart Key, and so on, but not those mentioned in the previous sentence.

Did you take the time to read that entire thread on unlocking the extended rom? THere are numerous issues with doing this, and they are reported in there (like the loss of access to your SD card, having the card change names which breaks programs installed on it, etc). There is another thread on how to re-lock you extended rom, but I don't know if that will give you back your SD card access (but worth a try). You may have to do a hard reset (and I'm not sure that will fix this issue either). If neither of those work then you will have to reflash an official rom to get the extended rom all set back up. If you are currently on a custom rom, you have to reflash the official one first, then reflash the custom rom of your choice.
[Nexus 9 General] bbedward:
Call me crazy but the best kernel for the nexus 6 is coming to the nexus 9, a device I don't have

Zen kernel is pretty sane and doesn't have changes like SuperMegaIOBlastFrequency5Million, but somehow it manages a bigger improvement than all those changes put together primarily through better CPU scheduling for the light-numa workloads of our mobile devices (in other words, BFS)

I have a BFS port from v461 (minus SMT nice )for 3.10 android/msm along with most of Alfred Chen's -gc branch includes as well.

Anyway, the effects are noticeable in the nexus 6 (no more google now launcher lag, no more big list lag, no more 3 second clear all recent delay, better power consumption through better frequency scaling by design of sticky tasks)

I think it will be just as good on the nexus 9, however I don't have one of these devices in my possession so I'm not gonna ask for people to buy me one instead I'm just going to ask for testers.

I'd like to see the effects of BFS on arm64 and I'm sure everybody else would like to see the benefits -zen kernel brings.

PM me if you would like a weekend build. I need at least 3 but the more the merrier.

Zen kernel for nexus 6

Thanks,

B

Will you be getting a N9 in the future?

Sent From Capsule Corp.
[Nexus 9 General] bbedward:
Probably not, I graduate next month and plan on expanding my open source endeavors then but I'd like to support the nexus devices + 1 or 2 other flag ships with zen at all times.

People are happy over at N6, they were happy back on gnex and evo 4g I'm sure they will like nexus 9 version too :)

The custom kernel landscape has changed since the old days because there's less problems with new devices, but zen still finds a way :)

I'm really looking to change issues as I see them here. I don't want to bolster big names, give me money, this project is mine, etc. I want to bolster the community effort in a way that aids in learning, growth , etc. Zen is all about real kernel improvements. in time there is an app I've had on the shelf for 3 years with a brilliant framework among other things that I want to GPL-ize and release.
[Nexus 9 General] bbedward:
At some point in time years ago I was a know nothing, figure out how to apply a patch, compile a kernel amateur. But through a great Linux, gentoo, arch , etc . community I have now become a proficient programmer, graduating with computer science + engineering degree in a few weeks.

the XDA community hasn't been about helping people learn or grow in any form. Its become a pit of protecting private property and don't take my work, don't ask dumb questions, just give up. I want to see more community efforts rather than private all mine type of stuff.
[Nexus 9 General] Ace42:
I've always wanted to develop a ROM or kernel, but the steps to just get Linux on my laptop is too much let alone driver support. If there was a simple way to use just windows 8 I would like to contribute to the N9 community.

Also I commend you for your studies, neither of those fields are easy from what I've heard. :good:

I was like you a know nothing about kernels

I started kernel development knowing nothing

I still don't know much but, I'm learning slowly

Im vary interested in the source code

Also to test
[Nexus 9 General] bbedward:
Thanks, many linux distributions nowadays make it incredibly easy to get started though ;) I'd venture to say most of them will work out of the box with your hardware.

Probably will have a test Friday, just going to use AnyKernel2 for the N9 probably (only replace fstab with f2fs support and no force encryption).

The N6 tree is here:

https://github.com/bbedward/ZenKernel_Shamu

The BFS branch is here (I split everything into individual branches on Zen):

https://github.com/bbedward/ZenKernel_Shamu/commits/sched_upstream_bfs_gc

Some of the stuff from my N6 kernel is a drop in for the N9 since they are both 3.10 based.
[Nexus 9 General] bbedward:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uekphwlxvm2pya9/v3.10-zen0_anykernel_N9.zip?dl=0

Please make sure you have a backup plan if it doesn't work :p

It has almost identical to Zen-nexus 6 stuff:

- My sched_upstream_bfs_gc branch pretty much identical to the N6 kernel branch

- Not identical to the N6 branch because nvidia has a bunch of nonsense sched stat stuff I added into BFS also

- Fiops/BFQ in addition to the default stuff

- ext4 from v3.10.y stable

- newest f2fs

- usb fast charge support

- 2A charging

- fsync toggle

- upstream MM stuff from v3.10.y

- Several race condition fixes, memory leak fixes from upstream

- flar2 wake gesture support

- overclock support whatever elementalX has up to 2.5GHz

- USB fast charging

No idea if it works, please have a backup ready.

There's lots of compile warnings in the tegra kernel and I had to build myself an aarch64 compiler because I didn't have one.
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
Will test tomorrow

How did you update f2fs?
[Nexus 9 General] bbedward:
I will push the source up once I can later tonight. It's quite hefty so it will take awhile to push up the first time :p

The way I did everything is almost the exact same as the N6 kernel. Some nvidia garbage had to be implemented into BFS but that's it. And the device specifics like OC, 2A charging, etc.

https://github.com/bbedward/ZenKernel_Shamu/commits/f2fs_upstream

everything is exactly the same except the first f2fs commit "Sync with kernel/f2fs.git linux-3.10 branch"

There I basically just delete everything in fs/f2fs. copy/paste fs/f2fs from that branch, copy include/linux/f2fs* include/trace/events/f2fs (maybe? I forget where all the headers are exactly) and also update the Documentation/filesystem/f2fs.txt

The only reason I do that is because the f2fs/linux-3.10 branch is oddly based on linux-4.0. So simply merging or cherry picking won't work too well, and things like the msm and tegra kernel have different versions of f2fs already. So i just clear it all out and sync with that.

After that I pulled in all the newer commits from the f2fs/dev branch.
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
O so thats how you did it
