[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiliarou:
do you guys have smart lock enabled ? Or do you have tasker/llama to activate lock/unlock based on position/network cells ?

I'm getting this bug now on a 2 month old Xperia Z3 D6683 more and more frequently and I have location based unlock rules in Llama...

I'm trying "Disable hardware overlay" in developer settings and I will see if it solves the issue.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiraenei:
Hi, I'm relatively new to this forum and I've been trying almost all day to root my phone...

First, I had problems trying to get a working recovery (they just crashed to random colors/or loaded fine and then rebooted like nothing happened). Tried with CWM Recovery but it seems this model is not supported atm, tried with TWRP v2.8.3.0 and also crashes... ATM the only custom recovery that has started without going haywire is TWRP v2.8.0.0 (at least for my phone).

I prefered using 'fastboot boot recovery.img' before 'flash' since it's the first time I'm trying to root a phone. The recovery mode starts okay and I also placed the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip in the internal storage before hand. I try to install the .zip file and all goes well, no errors and a blue 'Successful' message. This is where the 'root' procedure fails. Since you can reboot or go home to check other stuff I just tried rebooting the first time and it asked me that I had a SuperSU in the device and that if I wanted to install it to have root. I obviously swiped to install it and it displayed for a split of a second the window from before and just shut down and rebooted...

I tried several other methods to try and root my phone after this failure, but none worked. I checked again if trying this procedure would serve a purpose but I got the same thing always. But since I saw the process so many times I could see for a moment a red line saying something like 'E: failed to copy su binary to /system/bin (...)' but couldn't read more because it was a split of a second there xD. I googled this weird error and I found that my /system is in read only state and not writtable... But to change it to writtable I need root too it seems <_<)

So, any help? I'm sorry if this long text makes someone just look away but I don't really know how to explain my problem in more simple words xD. Any help will be appreciated :) .

EDIT: Forgot to say that my phone has its bootloader unlocked already and it has USB Debugging enabled.

[LG Optimus L90] Likelei:
I have experienced a BIG problem with my D415. I was flashing a CM12 ROM when I noticed that once it turned on, I had no signal. WI-FI does work though. I then thought it was a system defect. I decided to flash another ROM and the same thing happened. So then I decided to format /system and THEN install a different ROM. It did not work. When I flash a fully stock ROM through LG flash tool, I noticed that there was also no signal. I went into the software information section of about phone and I noticed that my Baseband version is unknown. I go into the status tab and I see under everything is unknown.

My SIM Card is inserted properly. I think it is a defect with the EFS partition.

EDIT: I found old backup files of the modem partition and flashed them! Thread Closed

[Moto 360] Nomad1600:
I am a new user and I am sure there are things I will improve upon as a user. But is it just me that the watch and software is inconsistent in taking and executing commands and actions? I have gotten past the numerous connection drops (now only happening once in a while), but I am still not able to do somewhat simple tasks consistently. Its pretty consistent showing emails (I use Aqua Mail on my phone) but text messages are far less consistent (I've tried Google hangouts and now trying Chomp). And its even less consistent when trying to reply (via voice) to text messages. Once in a while it will do all the necessary steps to send a text (I almost cheer when I see the transcription of the message on the watch, then the blue circular progress bar, followed by "Sent!"). But more times than not I just see a progress loop. Doesn't matter where I am physically... I might not have moved an inch and it may work one time then not the next.

Is this a common experience? Would starting over (Factory Reset watch, delete AW and Motorola Connect, reinstall everything) help?

I cam here from a Sony SW2. While its watch faces and UI was no where near as nice as the Moto 360 and AW, but at least it worked consistently at the (limited) things it could do (read email, read text messages). Are all AW watches this inconsistent?

Connectivity between my watch and CM11 (snapshot) on Note 3 was inconsistent.

Which one to pick? and does anyone know if there is a difference in audio quality with a good set of headphones... both have pro/cons to them

the biggest concern to me would be probably quality, if they are all same quality then of course other features would matter more.

I can think of about 3 devices that let you use your own head phones and have a mic built in the BT controller

Why do i want one of these vs the standard BT devices? simple... my PPC has proprietary plug, even though i could solder or hack my own 1/8 stereo jack to the connector i would prefer a BT device

[Samsung Gear Fit] casketcrewchick:
●●●●● I managed to get the settings icon back! I rearranged my icons a few times and put it next to one of my double clock icons and there it was! I did a factory reset. So far so good...... not sure what causes the problems below but I will leave this post unless a moderator wants to delete this thread for me ●●●●●

Hi all. Got a few problems with my Gear Fit... I want to do a factory reset but cannot! Honestly want to upgrade to a different smartwatch soon but for now I will have to work with this. I am disappointed in lack of apps that work with this but I LOVE the touch screen and features it does have...

1. No settings icon to factory reset my device. Thought there was a physical reset button on underside which I pressed in with a pin but nothing happens when I do. I held it down too... maybe not long enough? Does anyone know how long?

2. When I scroll in one direction its an infinite loop. Does not even show home screen with clock on it most of the time... instead there is an infinite loop as in the same 3 icons show over and over and over as I scroll....

3. Sometimes when scrolling, part of the clock shows on left half of the screen and its stuck there while the other half scrolls. Still no settings icon!

4. Also when I use the Gear Fit Manager on my S3, it shows 2 clock icons which I can drag and reorder but it only leaves a gap in the icons on the Gear Fit itself... looking at it horizontally should show 3 icons across but it will show 2 with a blank spot where 3rd icon would be.... sometimes I can see the clock but most times I cannot.

I wanted to contact samsung about these issues through email but I cannot seem to get there. I dont see any choice for smartwatches and model number so therefore I cant seem to figure how to send an email to the correct department.

Hope I can reset and start over before I end up getting mad and throwing it across the room!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matias49:
Hello everyone,

While I was testing my phone and pressing everywhere, I might found a feature I didn't read anywhere.

I know there is the ZenMotion, and it works great. By writing a "C" on the screen, you launch the camera app. But I don't talk of that (and I disabled this shortcut)

After locking the screen, press the volume button twice (down-down, up-up or even up-down and down-up). It launches also the camera app.

This isn't a ZenMotion feature (I disabled everything and the shortcut still works).

Is someone having this shortcut too? Did someone know how to disable the shorctcut?

Hi all, my A700 has had its day and I'm ready to let it go. Great feel and (still!) awesome battery life aside, it's time to move on. Unless someone here would like it, I'll put up ads on Kijiji / whatever and see what I can get for it - if indeed it can even be done..?

I currently am running the 4.4.4 Omni ROM (thanks to the devs - it's not bad at all), so presumably I should put it back to stock. This was my first and only attempt at rooting and ROM-ing, so if there are any tutorials on restoring it back to factory is there an easy way to point me there?

And more generally, has anyone ever sold anything to the non-custom people out there, and if so, was it easy enough to do? The Omni ROM is arguably far better than the last stock one, so leaving it as-is SHOULD be a gift, no?

Hi,

Since upgrading to lollipop, I have noticed a significant degradation in battery consumption.

From 100% and browsing on wifi for 30minutes I consume approx 11%. So this gives me approx 20% / hour. Seems much higher than what I remember on kitkat.

Is this constant with other Lollipop users?

• Install drivers - ADB Drivers and Alcatel drivers are installed.

I can use SP Flasher to install new .imgs BUT i do not have them :'((((

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mr72:
I just got my Z3c over the weekend, and since it was working perfectly on AT&T with LP 5.0.2 I was reluctant to do the whole downgrade/unock/relock/root/flash/upgrade/etc. root method.

Fortunately the latest version of Kingroot will root the phone with OTA Lollipop upgrade working and unlocked bootloader. I have 23.1.A.1.28 rooted without even having to enable ADB or do anything but install and run the Kingroot app.

EDIT: Editing here by request on this thread. There is another thread on this forum dealing with Kingroot in detail. Some suggest that the Kinguser app transmits the phone's IMEI and this introduces some risk. For me, I managed to get rid of the Kinguser app and install SuperSU instead. My phone works fine, rooted, with SuperSU (which was installed via recovery/flash method). I have no comment about how risky Kinguser app is, whether anyone is trying to steal something from you, or what your risk level might be with Kingroot method. Buyer beware.

I would say, if Kingroot can do this without the downgrade/unlock/relock/upgrade method then so can non-KR devs.

Does it work with a locked bootloader?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
We already have a thread about Kingroot: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/kingroot-4-0-t3105593

It's not being stickied because it's a very shade rooting method, very little is known about how it works and what more it does behind the scenes except for rooting. And Kinguser cannot be replaced by SuperSU by any normal, conventional means.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mr72:
Yes, it worked on my phone with a locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mr72:
Sorry for the confusion. I didn't realize Kingroot was such a bad thing. It's also very difficult to remove.

FWIW what I did to get rid of Kingroot and the Kinguser app (which is the real beast to remove) is after rooting with KR, I installed the dual recovery and then flashed the pre-rooted LP from TWRP. That totally eliminated the KR and etc. so if anyone has taken my potentially bad advice and rooted with KR, that's how to undo and retain root with SuperSU. I still think it is easier/simpler than the "tried and true" method of rooting for those who have already upgraded to LP/5.0.2.

Kingroot is the simplest method, maybe not the most safe.

Giefroot is the longest, maybe the most safe.

My wife and I both have wizards. We have both been having problems with the screen not maintaining alignment pretty badly. Anyways, she is about to leave on a 3 day camping trip and I was working on her phone for her. Since the business card trick had helped a little but the issue kept recurring and I could see a fair bit of gunk up under the edge of the screen, I decided to get a bit more serious. I took the file/cleaner bit on a pair of nail clippers and ran it under the edge. Not too far and I kept it as close to flat as possible but I did get out quite a bit of crud. I'm afraid I may have broken something, though. Now the screen won't respond to any touch at all. Any chance of salvaging this thing or am I in for a new screen/phone? I have tried aligning the screen and doing a soft reset, neither made a lick of difference. I thought about a hard reset but I would rather not unless there is a chance I might succeed. P.S. she leaves early in the morning so hopefully someone will see this before then and have a suggestion.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cawith:
Hi,

I've read a bit about the S6 having RAM issues, but I'm not sure, if that's the reason for my trouble.

When going back to the homescreen after having used an app (doesn't really matter which app), the phone lags a bit and after a second or two the homescreen comes up empty as it takes a couple of seconds for it to reload the icons and one widget that I use..

If I clear all my apps from the recent list, I can go maybe half an hour to an hour before it starts doing it again. It clearly speeds up right after I've done that.

I looks like my RAM usage varies quite quickly between 58% and 91%. Sometimes it shows that Google Play Services uses almost 600 MB as does Snapchat(!) and my browser (even though only one tab is open).

Do I need to return my phone or is this only a software problem? Does using another launcher even help anything here?

Hope you guys can help me!

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
I'd use smart manager to clear all, and then clear data in application settings for Touchwiz home (This might lose all your home pages/icons/widget etc not sure. I'd then reboot the phone.

If it's still doing it after that, try Nova launcher or similar. I get not lag but the odd tiny redraw every now and again.

Ok, thanks for the tip.

I've gone over to using Google Now Launcher for a bit, and it seems to behave much better and more smooth. Unfortunately I can't use the stock clock/weather widget outside the TW Launcher.

I really hope Samsung addresses this in the next update. I was under the impression that this should have been fixed in the present release.
