[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talmarsh:
Hello,

I just bought a new device this week, but I fear that it has been already used/re-purposed.

I put my IMEI on Sony's support page and it shows that my warranty will expire 14/02/2016.

What can I do to find out if it has been used? Am I being paranoid? :eek:

Thanks in advance for your help...

Tal.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonryder:
if you bought it officially in a store, go there and change it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirhawk:
Even Mine shows in similar way, but when I asked Sony, they told Me that Sony currently has no way to determine warranty via IMEI.:rolleyes:

So as long as You have original bill, warranty would be an issue.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barely_Alive:
Hello Guys,

Yesterday my Nexus 6 hit the ground and my display cracked from one side to another. Of course I want to repair it. I found a tutorial on iFixit which is pretty easy to understand but I´m stuck searching for the right part. The whole display costs about 180 bucks which is a way to expensive. This is for the whole LCD (with Digitizer etc.) But I just need the front panel with the Gorilla Glass 3. Does anyone know a trusted shop where I can buy just the front panel for a moderate price?

German Shops would be the best for me. But American shops with German Shipping would fit too.

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
I can tell you right now that replacing just the glass yourself is something you should not do unless you have extensive experience in it. I've been repairing phones for years and I still don't do just glass. Either the whole assembly or no service. Most places won't even touch it if you only want the glass replaced. It's fused to the LCD. I have done it plenty of times before but the proper tools are a must for this kind of repair. You can't just slap new glass on because it won't look pretty at all. It's much easier to replace the whole unit. Most first timers end up breaking their LCD anyway trying to replace that glass. I highly suggest just grabbing the whole assembly.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:

I just bought a t-mobile wing last week and it runs kinda of slow. Is there anyway I can overclock this baby safely so its a little faster or so w/e to make it faster. Also I installed slide2unlock and want to know if anyone here knows how to edit the idle time. It turns on to fast and it goes on when im making a phone call. I installed the new updates but b/c its WM6 maybe thats causing something. Anyway any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

-illusis
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] metalmike772003:
i also have the t-mobile wing and found it a little slow . i recomend that you download the battery status cab and overclok your wing. i have mines overclocked to 286 and it works fine now. but for you i would start at 247 first to make sure it runs smooth then if you want after that you can raise it to a higher one.

hope this helps

Tune up and overclock

Hi.

This is a pretty good app to overclock your pda is called: Pocket Hack Master and these are some links that we´ll help you out: http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=7258 and http://www.wizcode.com/products .

I also recommend SKTools: www.s-k-tools.com this one is very nice to optimize your pda (you can optimize it for perfomance,memory or stability.It will also clean the registry,temporary files etc... and the last one that I also recommend you is: Tweaks2k2 http://www.tweaks2k2.com/.

They are all really cool,Pocket Hack Master will tell you the best speed for your device,it´ll run a test and it´ll give you different speeds supported by the processor,model etc...

SKTools and Tweaks2k2 are my favorite ones,up to now I always delete what SKTools tells me to and I had never any issue.

If you have more questions keep asking :-)

First, just want to thank all of you smart guys for providing us with such awesome apps and programs for our phones, I truly appreciate the generocity of those that wish to share their knowledge and help others. That said, I installed this program and it rocks! Before I would have small hiccups while playing nester, now, it's as smooth as butter. All my other apps open up faster than normal. My brother (sitting next to me as I type this) has the Wing as well and we would open the same programs at the same time (mine OCd and his not) and mine was working much much smoother. Thanks!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philicibine:
Hi, Ive not long had my m9. When i got it it updated straight away and got the charging bug.

Since then I have s-off'd and tried various roms with not too much luck.

I now have a bug that occurs when i flash a new rom. This has happened when i flashed 3 different roms. Leedroid, Viper and android revolution. the rom flashes ok, then starts to boot, and builds art. It then finishes building art and starts to complete the boot process, and then it reboots and tries to build art again.

I flash back to my stock backup and everything is fine again. (apart from the damned charging bug)

Has anyone else experienced something similar?? am i missing something??

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philicibine:
I've solved this, and my charging issue. Finally!!

I decided to flash the earliest ruu I could find and then let it do all of the ota updates itself.

I then rerooted, flashed updated firmware and am now running leedroid.

Thanks for the help guys.

[Android Studio] RealDogBoy:
I'm having a problem in the Android Studio tutorial. I keep getting stuck in the action bar lesson and I think it has something to do with having to use the appcompat library (that's referred to in xml as xmlns:yourapp="hxxp://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" -- right? -- and disregard the "xx" in the url which should be "tt")

As I understand it, you DO NOT have to use appcompat if your minSdkVersion="11" (or greater) and in my code I have it set as 11 in manifest.xml and it shows as 11 in build.gradle. So I shouldn't have to use appcompat -- right? :confused:

Symptom: I don't see any of the items in the action bar that I coded in the xml (and I followed the tutorial exactly -- I think.)

Clue: I see a red line under the showAsAction attribute of <item /> if I specify the newer Android xml namespace (not the appcompat library I mentioned above). If I specify the appcompat namespace I don't get the red line indicating a problem but the items still don't show on the action bar.

I tried to keep this post as brief as possible so I've left a lot of stuff out. I can post some code if that will help.

I wonder if anyone else has had this problem. There must be a lot of people using the AS tutorial.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
[Android Studio] clownFace:
Wish I could help you more specifically but I suggest going to Slidenerd's Material Design playlist on YouTube. I followed the first few of these tutorials in succession and was able to get a functioning action bar.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alanchen1:
Hi,

I just use adb to connect to the mobile device, then using dd command to clone and image of the internal storage, as below:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/storage/sdcard1/myclone.img

However, the clone fails after it reaches 4GB limit. Since sdcard is using FAT system and it only support maximum file size at 4GB.

Therefore, I try to split the image into small pieces, as follows:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 bs=1m | gzip -c | split -b 2045m - /storage/sdcard1/myclone.img.gz

However, this time I get an error said "split" is not a reconized command.

If split is not usable under Android, then how to split the large image into small pieces?

Thanks

Hello all!

This is my first post so please excuse me for any errors.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, and its rooted. While i was using Flashify, i decided to change my recovery. By mistake i flashed the wrong recovery, and everytime i boot the phone, it goes into a download mode, Says "Could not do normal boot"! Now the problem is, that everytime i connect my phone to the pc, the pc does not recognize it. I have installed the device drivers, still no help.

I guess i need to enable USB Debugging, but as my phone is completely unusable, i cant do that.

Guys i really need your help, please tell me what to do.

Any help is appreciated!

[Q] ✔HELP✔-M8 Eye got pattern locked & not even asking GOOGLE ACCOUNT RESET ✔HORRIBLE

Hello

The phone- HTC one M8 Eye is of my mom(elderly). She actually reset her pattern yesterday (to complex one to prevent misuse by some relative kids) but forgot it later

We know the gmail account and password too but ITS INSANE that even after trying so many patterns (>100), its not giving us any option to reset using google account:rolleyes:

Its not even giving us any "forgot password?" option . THIS is so HORRIBLE as we seem to be locked out and Data is important (on phone storage) so we dont want to factory reset:(:(:(

(I have read some(very few) instances of people sharing this horror ...but cant find any solution)

We have tried pressing buttons etc, restarting, no such option comes.

Further the fact the data network is on on it and gmail mails are synchronising properly means gmail account logging has no problem either.

The phone is not rooted and completely with stock ROM

Already Tried Options:

A- Tried "AromaFile manager" Way using sd card (to remove patter.key file), using stock recovery, but when i select "apply zip from sd card" it gives following error

Probably it needs CWM recovery

B- I am about to Try ADB Shell way to remove pattern.key, but i dont think that will work given device is not rooted and (may be even USB debugging is off). is it right that ADB shell cant remove a file if device is not rooted? Confirm plz

I am not sure what else to try...any other way???

This is PATHETIC that even after knowing google account/p[assword, its not giving us any such option.

Some app and phone storage data is very important... please help:crying::crying::crying:

P.S. M8 Eye just has better camera and no IF port, AFAIK. Otherwise its same as M8
