[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WarCrazy:
I have the Verizon Galaxy s4 and I rooted it and attempted to install the cm-12.1 custom rom. I could not get CWM to work so I went to the safestrap route. My phone got stuck booting into recovery so I flashed stock everything VIA Odin. It failed. So now I'm stuck with the message at start up "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again".

Please HELP.

P.S It is the SCH-I545 model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
What were you on... CM-12 does not work on any bootloader besides MDK. It does not work with safestrap. It will not work with CWM. Odin with a FULL NC5 WIPE. If that does not work, its bricked. Possibly JTG, but I doubt it. Read more before you do something. This could have been avoided.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WarCrazy:
Well, I did everything from a different site instructions. But I appreciate the reply. I did thankfully fix my phone by connecting it to Kies which restored firmware. Problem now, I lost root access and I upgraded to 5.0.1 lollipop from 4.2.2 kitkat and I now can't seem to find a rooting option now. Running SCH-I545 VRUGOC1.

Can you point me to the right direction? I've decently looked around, don't see any way to do it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
No root for OC1. No downgrade either as a qfuse has been blown.

Hi :D

what's you don't like in Z2 & How is the 3GB RAM Performance ?

[1] mention & explain the things that you don't like in this phone , the bad things as you see..

[2] also give me a quick review about the 3 GB memory, how much free memory for user apps is available & [3] how is the performance when you switch between heavy apps ?

[4] S5 or Z2 :3 ?!!

please give some attention to these questions ... thank you very much
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
i dont like that the phone sounds hollow and the fact its intentionaly slowed or made worse than the Z3 (it is capable of doing the same as Z3 but sony makes it only able to reach half(unless you run a custom rom)

performance is epic, no problems at all aside asphalt 8 only app/game with any lag, rest of the games i play sit happy at 59fps
[Xperia Z2 General] Adelm2013x:
nice,,,

waiting for more comments :D
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
Congratulations, you've just completely lost your credibility!

Do you have evidence that the phone is "intentionally made slow" or it's just your shallow and limited thoughts?

Perhaps, you're trying to be a "hero", coming out with bizarre conspiracy theories that hold no water.

Maybe, you need to watch what you say and instead of spewing factless and defaming terms.
[Xperia Z2 General] Adelm2013x:
i think he want to say that the cpu is 2.3 GHz but its actual clock is much lower than this as with (i don't know if all) some samsung devices.

for example , my galaxy s2 is running too slow under medium load, but when i use custom kernel or over clock apps to run my cpu at its normal 1.2 GHz , the phone becomes fast very Obviously ! (battery drain, heat now & that's normal)

--------- this is what i know, but it maybe wrong !--------

--------------------------------------------------------------------

please lee480, tell me your feedback about the things i asked especially the memory performance
[Xperia Z2 General] stayawake:
nope, if you're rooted and install a CPU manager app, you can see their stock configuration, the max clock is 2265Mhz if i'm not wrong, and the minumum clock it's ~ 1190Mhz

so, even the Stock* ROMs don't let the CPU frequency fall to the minimum values

nice info.

thanks bro. :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
explain this to me

Z3 - S801 AC, almost everything else the same as Z2

and yet Z2 cant get the same battery life and performance, somehow users of Z3 getting almost 8 hours of Screen on time and yet quite a few users showing they are finding it hard to get 6 hours

and performance is just strange, as of later firmwares the device doesnt get hot but monitoring my cpu and it just doesnt scale up at all so performance in some games is poor, e.g asphalt 8, sometimes real racing 3,

and then there is this, if you flash older firmwares it isnt that hard to hit 7 - 8 hours of SOT

i think its a tad suspicious that as you go through newer firmwares battery life gets worse till you hit .28 which makes it better

unless there is something else that is going on im sticking to my word,

there are a couple RCs i know who have Z3s and one that has both a Z2 and Z3 and yet they claim its easy to get around 6 hours SOT or more of Screen on time and no matter what i do and the Z2 users find it hard to pass that with a stock firmware and even the same with modified

i think that's just odd and there really isn't much other explanation

I'm not going to reply any reply post of this.

you can ask some of these Z3 owners your Self.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
Performance is great like the entire Z2 !!

Just love it ^^

3GB is very good to let the device run smoothly with the light Sony UI and not ram eating touchwiz.

But dont use your phone as a game console, it is a phone !!
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
I can agree with Envious_Data here. It's not a conspiracy theory, its the sad truth.. Everytime a new flagship comes, the old flagship is made to look bad by giving buggy fw updates.. Then after a few months when the new flagship has made the sales as per their target estimation, they fix the buggy fw.. Its done to make the old flagship look dull so that it forces you to go for the new flagship which doesn't have such issues.. And this is not only done by sony, its done by all oem's.. You can look at the history by looking at what happened to Xperia S, Z, Sammy S3,S4,Note2,etc.. I'm just giving an example, there have been too many phones that I can't remember right now.. And yes, Z3 users easily get 6-8hrs of sot with 2 days of extreme usage.. While Z2 users get 4-5h sot on avg with medium usage for 2 days.. I get 6h sot with 19th time like once in 4 or 5 cycles from 100-0 despite my usage being very same.. It was like this on 4.4.4 167fw, same on every other fw except 4.4.2 initial fw..
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
Then we have two exceptional and unorthodox cases. Simple. Z2 and Z3 shares close to 100% similar firmware. You can easily look through the kernel source code which is shared between both the Z2 and Z3 and I do not see any codes that's pertaining to intentionally screwing up the system. You can easily find other people posting that their battery life and performance has improved, including me. Now, we have two exceptional ones.

Especially so, if you lack any hard evidence; codes and drivers that points to intentionally slowing down performance by 50% (I have no idea how you got that percentage) and purposefully draining battery, please stop making noise. Currently, your claim is nothing. It doesn't hold water at all.

Perhaps, it's time to lower down your ego and drop this baseless claims. It looks bad on XDA and especially you.

P. S. I have the Xperia Z; performance and RAM management has greatly improved on lollipop. Do you have the Xperia Z? No?

Yes, there's an initial battery drain, but as usual with all Android upgrades, it gets better overtime. Lol
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
+1

Agree with you bro [MENTION=4704767]lee480[/MENTION]

Btw keep in mind people, that Sony make thier devices better and better and comparing devices is useless like compare the coming Z4 by an old X10i.. Totally useless, so keep realistic !!
[Xperia Z2 General] effective:
I tiny thing that i want to add here peeps. is that Z2 is older so..simply the phone battery itself is getting weaker after the higher charging cycles every day or 2.(talking to the ppl who took thier z2's when they first got out to the stores(i mean yes,almost 1 year passed for me also)).Rly no point for arguing here.Still loving my z2 and i think it will wtill rock the world for 1 or 2 more years ( : It definitely worth every cent.
[Xperia Z2 General] Adelm2013x:
how are the camera & how much free memory you get when you just turn on the phone now (regardless how much social media apps running)....
[Xperia Z2 General] xarfrost:
Im a regular user. I dont see any problems with my Z2. Im loving every bit of it. For me its not slow, I never experience lags unlike Samsung phones (former S4/S5 user) even debloated. Though the phone heats up fast, esp when playing games and using camera. Sound is kinda soft even with sound mods. Im using eXistenz rom by niaboc. I guess thats all of it. I love my phone, its like a mini TV with a crisp display. :)
[Xperia Z2 General] rappa619:
After owning it for one year now, these are the points I would like to see improved on my next phone:

1. This gets hot very quickly during gameplay and in camera mode. Next time I would look into a metal phone and see some heat tests before purchasing.

2. The camera on auto mode isn't so great, the focus isn't good on auto. And I know everyone says use manual, but sometimes you want to quickly snap a photo and not worry.

3. The bezels are too big, I understand that it's good for front facing speakers, but if you don't use your phone for listening via speakers, then it's a waste and makes it bulky.

4. Charging is slow compared to new devices with quick charge 2.0 and other technologies.

But all in all, it is a good device. The battery lasts a good length, it doesn't start lagging over time and the interface is near stock android.

I would recommend this over the s5 for sure, if you are looking into other phones, I would take the s6, g4 and z3 as the phones over this one. Otherwise it holds up against other models.
[Xperia Z2 General] Unsolved_Mistry:
I love the look, the notification light and the button placement.

It runs like a champ and i have found no difference in smoothness of experience compared to my old nexus 5 (bought on release day). The only issue is heat, it runs fine on heavy titles like real racing at max settings but candy crush soda saga heats the cpu to 60c compared to idle of 39c. Not extremely warm like my g3's screen but still warm.
[Xperia Z2 General] nreuge:
You all speak of heat issues, but be aware that for newest generations of smartphones, the issues are much more worse (I'm thinking especially of S810 powered phones).

The challenge for manufacters is now to find solutions to efficiently drain away the heat and to adjust adequately the thermal management of so powerful hot chips in so small devices.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
Man, there's a whole lot of tinfoil in this thread.
[Xperia Z2 General] tornido067:
everyone has his own desire..this phone is good and its really capable .if anyone have an overheating issues go pick S4 and check it out....Z2 is a really good device with good price and if you are facing charging issues buy a 2.0 charger it wont hurt trust me .
[Xperia Z2 General] Abaddon:
mm what I don't like about the z2? well, I can't foget the z2. lmao I have the M8, G3, S5 and OPO but sadly my Daily Driver is the Z2 :)
[Xperia Z2 General] guildamx:
My two cents.

I definitely love the device, which is incredibly stable and consistent.

I'd like to have louder speaker when in call (yes, I already tried many mods but still my OPO was far better) and dedicated buttons. I am not comfortable with the soft buttons yet...
[Xperia Z2 General] saldirai:
the things i dont like about z2:

1) back of the phone is prone to wearing. it's easily scratched. the tiny plastic material lining the bezel may get torn. so you'd better protect the back with a cover

2) camera... not bad but not exciting either. just saves the day.
[Xperia Z2 General] effective:
Buy Nikillin's Front and back protectors and you will forget about scratches/fingerprints.+ it saves the stylish design of the phone.

Second - Play with the manual mode abit and i can assure you the phone have an awesome camera esp boosted with the newest .28 firmware.Some practice is needed.

if so, 401 WWE (generic) are already unlocked, if that is the original firmware, if not, you need to have stock rom on the phone to unlock it.

I have a Vodafone M7 sat by me which came with 401 firmware on it rather than the Vodafone branded firmware which is already unlocked, and the same goes for my virgin mobile M8 sat by me, 401 firmware, already unlocked.

Possibly the most annoying thing about windows live is when you log into messenger it downloads all your hotmail spam to your phone.

Once its all been downloaded you can turn off email sync in the live settings but you need to delete every email manually I think to recover the memory.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jpete777:
Nexus 7 2013 Paranoid Android "There was a problem communicating with Google servers"

After flashing Paranoid Android 4.45 on my Nexus 7 2013 (WiFi only) with the stock kernel, on the first boot I got a message that said something about "having multiple Android IDs, which could make the device unstable" with two options, a factory reset or "I'm feeling lucky." I tapped "I'm feeling lucky" and didn't think much about it until I tried to go on Google Play. I tried to add my Google account, but after trying five more times and still getting that error message I was pretty sure that I hadn't spelled something wrong. After that, I tried adding my account from the Settings. Same problem. I have also tried a Device ID changer, but got the same error message when trying to add my account. When I try to open some apps and games, I get a message that says "This app won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your tablet" and then tries to get me to add my Google account. I am looking for any solution that does not require a factory reset.
[HTC Inspire 4G] prat1k:
Hi,

I am using Inspire 4G running stock AT&T ROM with Android 2.3.5 and can successfully make voice calls using Google Hangouts v2.4.78234730. However, I do not have functionality of making calls to phone numbers that I do have on my LG G2 running stock T-Mobile ROM with Android 5.0.2 running Google Hangouts v3.1.89134953. and Google Hangouts Dialer v0.1.81604947.

I know Inspire 4G is a strong device and can make VoIP calls because I have been using Mo+ and GV Phone to make VoIP calls using Google Voice account. Now that Google decided to shut all the third-party voice applications and not offering Hangouts Dialer for GB, does anyone know a workaround, i.e., a known working Hangouts Dialer APK or ZIP that I can sideload or flash?

Thanks!
