hello guys

I m in dilemma of choosing between. G2 VS980 or Droid ultra Xt1080

Verizon has permanently locked bootloader on xt1080 hence no more custom recovery and stuff.

whats the scene with VS980. its verizon as well. can we install all the available roms or there are restrictions to it as well?
[Verizon LG G2] MilanStojkovic:
I think you just answered it yourself. Tbh, haven't used xt1080. I have VS980 for a year now and God knows I won't be changing this badboy anytime soon. The support here on xda is just amazing, we just had few of our best developers do a major LP update, rom and kernel wise (read xdabbeb and dorimanx). It's unlocked, unbrickable (I am being literal here), still amazing performance and camera, great battery life (rocking almost 7.5h SoT as I write this and still have 10% left). You won't go wrong with it if you ask me. Get it, root it, flash the good stuff and enjoy!

I just sold my Droid Maxx and got a G2. Both are good phones but the 720p screen, still on KitKat, and locked down phone were all turnoffs for droid. The only thing I miss about Droid is active notifications but the G2 hardware is superior and it was easy to root and it has front and rear notification lights.

Hi

I am trying to get google to work by using the OK Google voice recognition. it works well when phone is unlocked but it wont work when phone is on standby. I have tried following instructions, enabled what needs to be enabled but its not working. The option to enable the action on "any screen" doesn't work?

the S6E doesn't have as many options as the nexus series and I dont have these options on my BTU phone...

are you using this?

Thanks

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kur0ya:
Hi everyone,

We sincerely thank you for your patience again as this was sorted out. The team was working on smoothing out some compatibility issues, and this missing feature was an unintended result of it. However, as mentioned in previous messages, the engineering team was made aware of this high-priority issue when users initially reported it and they have been diligently working on providing a solution since.

Now, we are happy to share that the "From any screen" function has been fixed for S6 and S6 Edge devices on the Google Search App (GSA), and the fix is actively rolling out to users. To ensure that this feature becomes available to you soon, please ensure that you are running the most up-to-date version of GSA (4.5+). Please note that “Ok Google” from any screen will be available, however remaining compatibility issues mean that turning on the feature will limit the availability of S-voice hotwording to only when the screen is off. Users who prefer to avoid this can turn off “Ok Google” from any screen.

Thank you again for your feedback and patience as we got to the bottom of this!

So it doesn't work when screen is off. only when screen is on (in or out of lock mode)

Hello,

I changed my broken display of my N5, but when I power on the phone, only the right half of the display is working. By the way, I forgot to remove the protective cover at the back of the display (digitizer), could this be the problem, or is there anything else?

Hey, I use an LG F60 wich runs 5.0.1 and since i upgraded ( March 10th) the stereo of the microphone disappeared on most of the apps , and i ran a CPU test and said that rear microphone didnt existed when in this app running kk said i had rear mic, i waant someone to help me to change the microphone settings to disable Automatic gain control, bc the mono sound of my micro sounds muffled and dirty, i disabled AGC in one 3rd app recorder, but i cant find a setting to disable it of system, i tried ALSA and Viper4Android, and didn't find nothing related to mic, also in enginer mode Audio settings are not implemented yet. I also tried changing mixer_paths and those files, but i really don't know wich text i have to replace,and i can upload the files here, if someone wants to help me changing it..

Does someone know is there is one specific app or module, (without recovery) that disables AGC? my microphone without AGC in mono sound, sounds very HQ but with it sounds pretty muffled, and in whatsapp recordings is terrible.

Hi all,

Today is not a good day, thought I would share a valuable lesson that I leant. Earlier today I purchased a Galaxy S6 from someone who I thought was a trustworthy seller (I had dealt with him before with no problems) through Gumtree. We met at a public space and I checked the phone out and it seemed alright, however, I had only had around 3 hours sleep from a long flight the night before. After getting it home I realised that its a fake. The camera is shockingly bad and the fingerprint scanner hardly works, the screen is not even close to Samsung's quality.

I am extremely annoyed at myself for not realising as I am not at all knew to this sort of thing, I have owned many Android phones over the years and usually change my device every 4-8 months. So it just shows it really can happen to anyone! The phone itself is surprisingly well built, it is heavy and the finish on it is very accurate.

Let this be a warning to everyone! Always triple check what you are buying even if you believe you can trust the seller! Looks like im going to have to stick to the old brick until I gather up some more savings :crying: I have listed the phone on eBay in hope I can pick up a little cash for it to make up for my mistake so if you want to check out the pictures:

After that, hit up the cops. (Hopefully we don't see ya on the news, where the dealer starts chanting "hands up don't shoot" then he becomes a "victim" and nothing happens...)

Hope ya get your $ back man!

You cannot sell a counterfeit on eBay, even if you list it as such.

Well that really sucks man. Before I bought my S6 off ebay from a seller with 30,000+ positive reviews I visited AT&T stores several times to play with the demo units S6 and S6 Edge to decide which one I wanted in what color. I recommend anyone buying an S6 from a private seller in person do this also, so they know exactly what they are supposed to be getting.

[Galaxy S6 General] captaincrunch500:
Hi Ambervals6,

I'm not going to comment on whether or not that looks fake or not, you either need more photos or need to see it in person to really be 100% sure.

But in regards to the sim tray, it is on the top (like that photo) for the S6 Edge since they obviously cant fit it on the side :)

Cheers
[Galaxy S6 General] jmfc:
Few steps to avoid such purchase.

1. Check download mode. Switch off the phone than press vol. down+home+power. You should see samsung download mode. No fake can have that.

2. Super Amoled screen. Check black colors, should be completely black, like screen switched off. No fake can have that.

3. Check camera, super fast auto focus and picture resolution.

4. *#0#* samsung test menu.

5. Oleophobic screen coating. Fakes usually got them very bad.

And the last but very good test. Connect to kies (smart switch) and see how its detected. No fake can emulate s6 in kies (smart switch)

This actually true for most samsung flagships.

So...I'm stuck I can't seem to figure out how I can flash CM 12 as I get the attached image stating "Installation Aborted"

For the record.

- Used Sunshine to get s-off

- Rooted through King-root

- Installed ROM Manager. Updated latest CWM v. 6.0.4.5 (latest ROM Manager is allowing me to update).

- Flashed into recovery, factory reset, wiped cache, and dalvik cache (followed instructions: Google Search "android 5.1 Lollipop htc dna" click the link from trueandroid)

- Now stuck at the attached image.

Anyone have any insight into what I'm doing wrong? Links to how-to's would be greatly appreciated if there is a solution to this problem out there already. Appreciate your comments and feedback!

Thanks would love to start using CM 12 on the DNA and give this phone some more life!

Hey thanks for the links above I was able to get the ROM flashed. Super happy with CM 12.1. I am however draining my battery at lightening speed. It looks like from full to empty is done in about 2 hrs.

Any direction on how to improve this?

Also I do love running the latest ROM's out there, but if this is going to persist - do you know a ROM that creates the longest battery life for the DNA and still keeps the best performance?

Thanks again!
[HTC Droid DNA] Bakumatsu:
I think you got problem with deep sleep. Use TricksterMOD to tune up your kernel settings.
[HTC Droid DNA] knarasdroid:
Hey Baku - so I tried to get TricksterMod then I realized I lost Root Access. I tried Weak Sauce and Kingroot, but neither are working. It looks like i have S-Off since I am able to boot to CWM as stated above, but that's not how I flashed CM12 - I used TWRP as you suggested.

I figure once I get root again I will be able to use TWRP manager and TricksterMod as you suggest. Any guidance on how I can get my root access again?

Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] eragon5779:

Thanks Baku appreciate you leading me down the right path. I'm actually test driving another ROM now: Team EOS

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsradu:
Hey guys

So I just bought a new Z3C and I'm planning on rooting it and installing CM12.1 on it. But before that I wanna make sure I perfectly understood the entire process. So if anyone could help by answering/confirming some of the things below, I would really appreciate that.

First, Sony devices don't come with a default recovery? Did I get that part right? That's why I need to flash a custom one, right? I suppose this is also the reason why I need a custom recovery in order to flash CM12.1 on my phone. Since I don't know if CM can run without one.

Second of all, kingroot. Ok, so this is an app for PC or phone that will root your phone in one click. Still without needing to unlock the bootloader (thus compromising that TA partition), right? It's in Chinese but I guess I don't need to know Chinese to click the only button on the screen. ) So that won't be a problem.

Third, I need root access for the backup part, right? So after running kingroot, I need to make a backup of my DRM stuff, right? It won't be of any use in CM, I suppose. So I just keep it somewhere safe.

Another thing, since I don't already have a custom recovery, I need the "installer" version of that xzdrecovery recovery, right? Cause there is also a flashable zip version of it, and I was wondering how the hell do I install that with no default recovery.

Can CM12 run on a locked bootloader? :) Probably stupid question. But this forum seems to pack some really interesting tricks I never thought were possible. So...I'm asking.

One thing I didn't quite understand: why do I need to flash part of CM12.1 to have a working recovery? Is the recovery not usable after installing it? Does it need a "simulated" ROM in order to be accessible/visible? I mean, on my SGS4, I just had to have a custom recovery (in my case it was CWM, but I'm not sure there is such a thing for the Z3C) and then just boot into it and flash CyanogenMod ROM or any other custom ROM for that matter. I didn't have to "split" the installation. First the boot.img, and then the rest (which will basically rewrite the boot.img anyway). So this part is still a bit confusing to me. Can anyone explain?

Thank you very much.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyPictures:
As far as I know there really isn't a default recovery for Sony devices so to install CM you will need a recovery.

I do not recommend kingroot but you can try it if you trust it. I used the xda guide on doing it and it worked fine for me: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343 (takes some time but its worth it if you ever want to go back to factory). As long as the bootloader stays locked the TA partition wont be touched thats right but once you unlock it you will lose all DRM keys and they wont restore if you flash a factory frimware again.

Yes you need root to backup the TA parition and yes only Sony roms use the DRM keys, CM doesn't touch them.

You install it over fastboot pretty much or with locked bootloader you use the Sony flash tool. More here: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343

Also keep in mind that custom Kernels like "M5 Kernel" come with a pre-installed recovery.

Im pretty sure its not possible. For not sony kernels you need a unlocked bootloader, otherwise it wont even boot up.

Unlike Samsung... Sony devices have no recovery (maybe at a later time?) so you cant just replace the stock recovery with a custom one. You have to take out boot.img because fastboot cant flash entire zips like a recovery, so you flash the boot.img over fastboot which installs the recovery for you.

After that you execute "fastboot reboot" and spam your volume up key till you enter the recovery and from there you can install cyanogenmod and other.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsradu:
Alright. Thank you a lot for your answers.

So, to sum up:

First, I need to root my device. You said you would not recommend Kingroot. Ok. But I'm on stock Lollipop right now. And for as far as I understood, in order to get root on it without using Kingroot method, I need to downgrade to KitKat using FlashTool. Did I get it right?

Second, I need to backup my TA partition stuff.

Third, I need to flash the boot.img from CM12.1 flashable zip and then the recovery (flashable zip version of it, right?). In this order. Am I right?

And for the recovery part, I think I'm gonna go with that FlashTool (since I already got it for downgrading to KitKat) or via fastboot (command line), for which I need the Android SDK installed, I suppose?

Forth, unlock the bootloader. I guess I'm gonna have to Google that part. I saw some videos explaining how to do that, so I guess I'm gonna be ok.

Fifth, boot into recovery and flash CM12.1 (finally).

Please, let me know if I got the flow right or if you would make any suggestions/adjustments/corrections to it. :)

Also, one other thing, I heard people not being able to flash back stock and booting with it, after having a custom ROM installed, even after re-adding the content of the TA partition back and re-locking the bootloader. Any idea how to get this right from the first time, in case I need to revert to stock?

Again, big thank you for your help. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyPictures:
- Yes you need to downgrade to a version where that root exploit isn't patched and root that way

- Yea then when you got root and all, you use that tool to backup your TA partition

- Yea after that you unlock your bootloader: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ and then you flash boot.img from CM (or a custom Kernel that implements a recovery). After flashing the boot.img you reboot into your recovery and flash the whole Cyanogenmod.zip there (Apply update). I just installed my recovery over fastboot, never actually tried the FashTool way. fastboot.exe is in the Android SDK yeah but you can also just get the small ADB installer which has it too: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 (For Linux you need to install it over your package manager I think).

- No. You need to unlock the bootloader before, otherwhise it wont allow you to flash a custom boot.img

Not sure about the restoring process, I kinda don't think that I will move back from CM anyways.

However if I would go back then I would try this:

- Relock bootloader

- Factory reset

- Flash back old sony rom with root exploit over flashtool

- Gain root over that exploit and use the TA Backup tool to restore TA partition

- Install latest Sony ROM and that should work? (Not sure)

Can you post one of those theards where they get issues with restoring? How do they do it?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsradu:
It was a post in a long thread. I'm not sure I can find it right now.

Anyway, I got stuck at flashing back KitKat. FlashTool says "waiting for flashmode", whike asking me to disconnect my phone, press the back button (I got it that this is for older phones that do have a physical button), and plugging back. Which I did. The result being a very nice animation for charging. The USB debugging is ON. What am I missing here?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyPictures:
Did you install the drivers properly and on which Operating system are you flashing it?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsradu:
I would say yes. I mean...after googling a bit, I saw that I actually don't need to just "ignore" that message asking to press the Back button, but to actually press Volume Down instead. Which I did. And I was able to go into Flash Mode. (Flash Tool says "device connected in Flash Mode"). The device was properly recognized in MTP mode. Still, I had to manually install the Flash-tool drivers to get it recognized in flash mode, as well. Not sure why...

I mean, if the phone was properly recognized without manually installing anything (Windows downloaded and installed its own drivers), why the hell do I need to install custom drivers to get it recognized in flash mode? By the way, this "flash mode" is similar to Samsung's "Download Mode", for as far as I could see. And, just like on Samsung's devices, the access is made by pressing the Volume Down upon booting up. :)

Anyway, even though the device is now recognized in flash mode, I still get an error trying to flash stock 4.4.4.

I get this:

And after a while, it automatically reboots in normal mode.

Windows version is Windows 10. But I'm not sure that's the problem here since, as I said, the device does get recognized both in MTP and flash modes. Also, for as far as I could see, other people are having the same issues on other versions of Windows.
