[Xperia Play General] Hikorust:
I really like it:) good job.

I love my xplay. Maybe more than my previous ngage classic and ngage qd. I thinking about new parts for my play. New screen, new back cover, face plate and that damned slider.. Buttons and whole dpad plate..

Any experienced user, how complicated are these tasks? I heard, whole xperia is glued together withou screws. I mean, main body, which you need to take apart from display. I have experience with PC. Changing motherboards, mosfets and things like this, but i never take apart whole mobile phone before. I really want to give my xplay new shine, again :) My biggest sick idea is to recolor those parts to match old playstation 1 gamepad. But this looks like impossible.. I dont have experience with permanent colors. Any ideas?:)
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
Recolor is not hard I painted my gamepad red. If you do paint it to match ps1 post it up! Coukd be cool:)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksordo:
I previously had a version of Lollipop 5.0.1 on my device (i9500) prior to flashing it to the original carrier-branded 4.4.2 version of Jelly Bean the phone came with (I planned on selling it.) After doing so, my S4 no longer recognizes SIM cards. Now, after investigating this issue I can see it can occur for myriad reasons, but my question is, could it had had happened as a result of a botched flash job? I only ticked "AP" within Odin when flashing the *.md5 file; should I have had selected all other options (i.e. BL, CSC, etc.) as I was reverting to a previous version of the OS? Could that be the reason the phone is no longer working properly?

Hi all :)

I'm going to buy soon a new smartphone, but I have to decide between the Galaxy S5 and the LG G3. I'm ok with the size,screen and look of both. What I really care about is the performance(frame rate in games, UI and general smoothness), the battery, and the camera. I'll mostly do images in day light. Considering this points, which of them would you recommend to me ?
[General Questions and Answers] mgemov:
I would prefer G3
[General Questions and Answers] ShapesBlue:
I'd say G3 also unless it's a international unlocked version. At least you can unlock the bootloader on the G3

Hey everyone, I am new to this type of phone rooting stuff. For some reason I got bored and I read about rooting and thought id give it a go.

I used Odin and it said "Added!" at the end and everything, the phone restarted and I was able to use it, but for some reason the app that I rooted my phone for "Emoji Switcher" said it didnt detect Rooting, so I decided to reboot my phone. Now it stuck on the "Powered by Android" Screen. I cannot turn it off and this model doesnt have a removable battery. I am a newb to this, please help me. I just got this phone. I know, Im irresponsible..

Since its a nonremovable batt. i think they've added the option to force reset it with holding power button for more than 10 seconds. If that works right after the restart press and hold power+home+volume up buttons and it will take you to recovery in which you can reset the phone to factory settings.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonstio:
Hello.

I just got a hold of one of these. Amazing screen but feels very slow. The stock ROM was waaaaay laggy. Like really bad. For comparison, I come from an M8 which feels super fast in comparison. This being roughly the top Android tablet right now (at this size) I expected more.

I flashed CM12.1 and it's a little better but noticable crappy still tbh. I am disappoint.

Is it just me or does any one else find this? Any tips to share?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaidurrehman:
Hello all,

Guyz I am having issues with my stock lollipop nexus 5 screen. The screen works perfectly but won't lite up.

On kitkat it happens mostly after I hang up any call and need to restart phone to turn the screen on.

After lollipop update in Nov last year the phone screen goes off any time. I restart phone or charge for long time and screen turns on because usually on lollipop when battery drains the screen issue begins. lollipop update has this problem in beginning to drain battery very fast. However afrer another quick lollipop update which fixes issues my phone works for around 2 months and last time I have low battery and power saving turned on, the phone goes off and until now screen stays off and rest works like charm.

I tried factory reset but couldn't perform as I was unable to see what's happening on phone. I de attach the battery 2 times and wait for sometime and pressed the power button to discharge any power in phone, then connected battery connectors again but still nothing happen.

Does anyone help me on this or let me know what to do.

Your help will be appreciated :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teto84:
I have the very same problem but I haven't had it before. It happens sometimes when i lock the phone and the screen goes in stand-by mode; when i try to unlock it and i press the power button the screen remain black and I need to resart the phone.

[Android Apps and Games] AmatuerAppDeveloper:
Right since last year i haven't been developing any apps due to both my other apps just failing and because i now actually have a job but there's things i always wanted to do in terms of Android apps and an app like this was definitely one of them.

so about the app, like the title says it's a cloud backup app, which i have made for backing up images to the cloud, it's also got unlimited storage and thankfully is secure enough for other people to use.

It's not %100 complete but apps never are so this app will hopefully be supported a lot lot more than my other apps so if there's features you'd like but the app doesn't have then let me know and i'll try my best to add it.

Here's the Gplay description:

Blox Backup is an easy to use image cloud backup app with unlimited storage which means you can backup any image of any size for free with no worrying about limited storage or losing any of your favourite photo's.

I have made Blox Backup easy to use with a clean and simple layout to ensure you can use the app without issue.

It also has these simple features:

Ability to sign up to your own personal account

Unlimited storage

Easy to use interface

A clean and simple grid gallery

The ability to download your photo's back

You can also delete the images at any time!

So why not choose Blox Backup as your next solution to securing your favourite photo's!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplistic.bloxbackup

So yeah, if you like it then please let me know as i have a good feeling about this app!

Thanks for reading :)
[Android Apps and Games] RobertsDF:
What method are you using to secure the photos?

Also, when I try to select a photo to upload, it just force closes. So the app is unusable right now.
[Android Apps and Games] AmatuerAppDeveloper:
I'm currently trying to resolve the problem
[Android Apps and Games] RobertsDF:
Thanks for the quick reply.
[Android Apps and Games] AmatuerAppDeveloper:
Unfortunately i have had to temporarily un publish the app due to problems.
[Android Apps and Games] AmatuerAppDeveloper:
Right i give up, I've tried every single "solution" but absolutely nothing works, so i have no idea what's happened but it won't work so this app, unless someone can actually fix it, is going to off the play store
[Android Apps and Games] AmatuerAppDeveloper:
Okay, I'm feeling very very stupid right now, it turns out i forgot i deleted the imageview from the layout but made a rookie mistake and left the code. I'm such a twat. It will be back on the play store soon!
[Android Apps and Games] AmatuerAppDeveloper:
It's back on the play store now and this time it'll actually work
[Android Apps and Games] AmatuerAppDeveloper:
How are you finding the app now you can actually upload?
[Android Apps and Games] RobertsDF:
The app looks great and I love the simpleness of it.

There is one feature that I suggest you add though. Can you make it so that we can select multiple pictures to upload at once? It is a pain to only be able to do one at a time.

Other then that, I love it!
[Android Apps and Games] AmatuerAppDeveloper:
That will be a part of the next update which will out in a few days, maybe less and I'm glad you like it, I'd appreciate a review because it hasn't had the best start and could do with some more reviews to get it shown a little more
[Android Apps and Games] zerosys:
Generally i like this idea, but how can you guarantee unlimited storage?

Where is the server at? How do i make sure that security is good enough and nobody but me got access to my photos?
[Android Apps and Games] chaoscreater:
+1, what he said.

The only other app I know that is technically "unlimited storage" is Shoebox. It basically shrinks your image to a lower resolution so that their server/SAN/NAS doesn't fill out quickly. There's no way "unlimited storage" is a free thing just like that, there's gotta be tradeoffs or compromises somehow and someone's gotta pay for hosting the storage. Please explain how all of this will be addressed, otherwise for all we know we could be upload our private/personal photos to your server for you to enjoy.
[Android Apps and Games] Neemac:
+1. Wanna know where, what cryption, and so on for this app. If it is stored in USA, it's kinda out of the question to use this app.
[Android Apps and Games] AmatuerAppDeveloper:
Well according to Quickblox it's unlimited and i had a look because i thought there might have been some catch but the only thing it really says is that it's on a shared cloud storage as I'm only on the basic free package. As far as i know it's safe as long as i don't give any details away and as long as i use my own api key, secret code and auth key, rather than a public test one.

If i'm wrong and using shared storage isn't safe or could harm any of you then please let me know because i want this to be genuine app but if it'll cause problems i may as well delete it and not bother with it.

Again though, as far as i know it's safe and is indeed unlimited unless i paid for the top package which i definitely can't afford

[Other SmartWatches] abuduri:
Am looking for any Android watches that have a heart rate sensor on the back (touching skin)? I haven't seen any on Alibaba or elsewhere.

Intention is ... I want to bulk order (for a project) such watches with custom Android ROM in it that periodically tracks the heart rate. Non-Android ones are available though (and I don't think they would run Android).
[Other SmartWatches] gerhardo:
You can find the Reedone X1 on AliExpress. There are of course Android Wear too.

The Reedone X1 uses the Ingenic MIPS X1 platform. Comparing to my disintegrating Omate Truesmart, it has advantages:

* Lighter, 49g

* Transflective LCD

* Android 4.3 from start - BT 4.0

* Barometer, HR sensor

* Cheap, less than US $100

* Android dev in the open they say, not as for MediaTek

Questionable:

* IP67 on paper. Less "holes" (antennas, speaker) than the Omate improves the chance slightly, still questionable.

* No speaker or vibrator.

* MIPS unproven, some apps will not work. For instance XPosed will be tricky. (Same SoC as SmartQ Z1.)

* Just 512+512 RAM+ROM, most will be used by the OS, few apps. Just Minuum keyboard uses 120MB!

* How is battery lasting?

* Most HR sensors in non sports watches are questionable it seems, need protection like the TomTom Cardio

* Most info in Chinese, no info outside China for this watch.

Will miss SIM and WIFI.

No camera is not a dealbreaker.
[Other SmartWatches] abuduri:
Wow .. [MENTION=5407402]gerhardo[/MENTION] ... thanks a bunch! Been searching for 3 days now and not sure how I missed this one. May be I was biased towards Mediatek ones. This one right?

Would really love to hear your thoughts on the following w.r.t. Ingenic vs Mediatek (or other most popular ones).

Am trying to build a complete custom interface for a specific audience

The watch will be used as a complete standalone (using SIM) and will not be paired with a phone

The intended audience will not be tinkering around at all, and will not do any app installs ... just use it daily - thats all

So, keeping the above in mind, and if I built my own custom ROM with my user interface, would I face issues if I went with Ingenic now and then next year want to shift to another (say Mediatek)?
[Other SmartWatches] abuduri:
Looks like it doesn't have GSM ... sigh!
[Other SmartWatches] gerhardo:
The link is for the same phone I have seen on AliExpress.

No GSM, but you could save data locally and upload when close to a paired phone.

MediaTek do not honor the GPL, keeps even the kernel closed source. It is part of their business model to sell GPL code. They are crooks.

Ingenic says they are doing open source, but I have not seen it.

MediaTek (mostly) uses supported ARM architechture so native NDK apps like games and browsers work.

Ingenic uses a MIPS platform with very little external support (yet at least).

In either way, it is a lot of work making a custom ROM. See the SmartQ Z threads for some hints, should be comparable to the Reedone X1.

Most of the _additions_ to the application you want to do will be done using the Android SDK, i.e. Java code where ARM/MIPS does not matter.
[Other SmartWatches] abuduri:
You lost me there ... so a phone like Z01 (other version) ... is the ROM running on it (Android 4.4) their own custom ROM?

You are right, my needs are all in the app layer and want just a single app to occupy the entire interface, no matter what buttons pressed ... no settings, no menus, no music etc
[Other SmartWatches] gerhardo:
Almost every phone has its specific hardware, requiring specific drivers. In the embedded world, you usually integrate the drivers in the build, so each device has its own custom ROM in some sense.

Most apps on the application layer uses the defined Android interfaces only, then the lower layers are not visible.

As many devices with MediaTek chipsets use MediaTek reference designs and the MediaTek services for the ROM (that they sell), you can mix MediaTek ROM to some extent, but that is an exception.

For instance the difference between Umeox x201 (Omate TrueSmart etc) and Umeox x202 (UNOVA IronMan) is the sensorhub, so sensors will not work when using UNOVA KitKat in a Omate TS.

If your needs are so specific, Android should not be a requirement, any OS should do.
[Other SmartWatches] abuduri:
Yeah. May be the app can be made in such a way (with background service and app) that notifications, alerts, user inputs etc are all driven just by the front-end app - making it a simple Google Play app install.

I want to be able to use heart rate sensor, temp sensor (if available), phone service (make/receive calls), GPS tracking, reminders/alerts/notifications, track movements, sleep etc ... basically ALL the features of the watch ... USING MY APP reporting to some sort of backend server app is connected to

Main reason for mentioning custom ROM is - I dont want my intended user to get confused with menu structure, unwanted/unknown button presses etc etc - means remove them totally from the user interface

So am I still in need of a custom ROM? or just app?

And Android because its a standard platform, SDK available, support available etc.

Hi, I have searched these forums for this answer and I haven't got it yet.

Here's the situation

My Samsung Galaxy S4 Active I537 has Lollipop 5.0.1 (non rooted) and I'm trying to find a way to root it. From what I understand as of right now it is not possible. So someone from the Flashfire community suggested to go back to Nh3 or 4.4.2 and root there then use the guide from XDA to update to OC6 or Lollipop and keep root.

My inquiry really is how do I go back from 5.0.1 OC6 to 4.4.2 Nh3 on the I537?
