[Xperia Z5 Accessories] Mangraviti:
Is anyone aware of any charging cases? The ones with a battery, that you power on when you're phone is dying and you need some extra juice? I've been searching low and high with no luck.

And preferably one that has a flip front cover (I only use flip as this type of case is the only one that actually protect the screen).

Just ordered my Z5 Dual Sim and a leather case, but I really would like one of them batteries.

Can't wait for its arrival. Will root and install custom ROM as soon as it gets here.

I would love a transparent case with gold corners for the Z5 but the Nilkin's one is really bad :(
[Xperia Z5 Accessories] BellerophonM:
I have a fairly bog-standard silicone case right now (cruzerlite bugdroid TPU), but it's becoming a concern to me about it worsening the overheating issues this phone has and making it reach that point where you go 'uh that's worryingly hot' faster. Are there any slim but solid cases that provide for airflow heat movement?

Same Here Dude

Yeah I am too waiting for solution.When the admins or experts will reply this..

So tried of trying every solutions

i too tried clock work recovery but the screen goes blank after samsung booot logo appears after flashing cmw

i think there is bug in lolipop version

and i am regreting why i have factory reset :'(
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forgath:
Here is the solution.

Go to http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/q...-zu-samsungs-gesamt-software-firmware.518903/

Choose a way to download your Stock-Rom. Then go to http://novafusion.pl/tutorials/installation-guide-golden/

Follow the instructions but use the stock-rom, not the custom rom. Reboot into downloadmode again.

Repeat but now install the custom rom. When you start it now, it will stuck at the system loading screen. But dont worry... restart into recovery mode (Vol+ + Home + Power) and go to Wipe, factory reset.

Restart and be happy.

EDIT: I could also reproduce the bug... It really happens when you use factory reset in cm.... So.. just dont use it. Start it for a factory reset manually into twrp and make there the factory reset.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Suzaku Guardian:
Hello,

I'm looking for a custom rom for Xperia Pro, where all functions of this device work properly and which contains CM custom settings. I'd be happy if the rom was not older than 2 yrs. Currently I'm using CM10 from Nightly (cm_10_20131006_NIGHTLY_iyokan.zip) and there are no CyanogenMod settings. Please help!

Thanks in advance :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saleenman95:
Okay, so this is a weird one. My little brother has a had his Kindle Fire HD 7" since it came out and just recently the screen has gone completely black. But what's odd is that there is a voice describing what is on the screen, and it seems to still respond to touches. He claims he didn't do anything and that he just woke up to it being like that.

So I really have no idea if there is a way to disable the screen that he accidently enabled, or what. But I'm stuck trying to fix it for him now. My gut says that the screen is shot because even when I power cycle it I get absolutely nothing on the screen. ADB was never enabled on it either, so I have no way of reflashing it, except maybe with something called a factory cable.

Do any of you have any suggestions that I can try to fix this or any easy way to use a factory cable to give it a fresh firmware reflash?

Thank you for the help!
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user68734:
I am a VZW user by necessity (coverage) and I like the specs of the Note 5 (Processor, RAM, and S-Pen). Knowing that Root access is not possible (at least for now) on VZW and ATT, I am trying to determine what is possible with the Note 5 on these carriers.

Without root access is it possible to get rid of "Bloatware" on the Note 5?

Can Bloatware (or any apps youu don't want) be "disabled" from running if they cannot be removed? Or does this also require Root access?

Thank you in advance.

Does this app work with phones that cannot obtain root like Verizon and ATT Note 5's? I would gladly pay for an app that would do this.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user68734:
How much of a performance gain to you gain after using the app? Is it noticeable? Do you know if that apps are actually prevented from starting up or are the icons just hidden from the launcher?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoamanwtf:
Yes, they are disabled completely it seems, no longer on the application list or anything. As for the gain, I'm not sure it's really that measurable the phone is already so fast, mostly I see improved battery life.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
I don't find the performance noticeably different before and after debloating.

Battery is (a little, not a lot) better, but performance seems the same to me.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlsroufe:
My antutu scores went from 67,000 to 69,000 after debloating. Not earth shattering. I'm very sensitive to lag and stutters and seems slightly faster to me. But I'm still surprised at how fast the phone is with all the bloat!

Here's where you notice the difference. :)
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user68734:
Doe you notice RAM management issues?

Have any of you experienced the aggressive RAM management issues some are reporting? Where any more than four or five apps in the background result in apps being closed out when new applications are started? Some people say it is very frustrating while others don't see any signs of it. The problem can be solved with the edit of a "prop" file but root is required and VZW version cannot get root.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jotan:
Hi,

I got my Nexus 9 around launch date and used Wugs toolkit to unlock bootloader, root and install teamwin recovery.

I kept gettting OTA updates for 5.0.2 but they wouldn't install. After months of ignoring I thought I'd update.

It wouldn't update so I tried to use Wugs toolkit to 'Flash stock + unroot to latest version'.

This failed saying something about no fastboot device, although the device went to the white screen and seemed to be displaying hboot/fastboot as options...

I got frustrated and used TWRP to wipe everything, including the OS!

I'm used to Samsung so expected an Odin type program to flash over my mess... I can't seem to do anything now.

HELP! (Please!)

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Vol down and power does bring you into the bootloader. Do you have usb drivers setup? Go into device manager on your pc with the device connected. Do you have an icon with a yellow exclamation mark? If so right click on it and go to where you can choose a driver from a list on your computer. Choose Android adb composite interface.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] prodeguerriero:
Hi there,

so, I've successfully installed CM11 and played with it a little, but I would like to go back to stock 4.3 now. The main reasons are that Podcast addict seems to have issues and the camera crashes on launch. To be fair, I don't mind the stock version at all. The only thing I love about CM11 is the partition table, which gave me much more storage space for apps.

The question is, is there a way to flash the stock ftf without reverting to the old 2 GB of storage space? I know that I can repartition everything after flashing (I have already done so once), but I'd like to skip this step if possible.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

P.S. If you have good arguments on keeping CM or going to CM12, I am all ears. :D:D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Give my CM12.1 a shot and I'm 99% sure you won't regret it. :D

You might even upgrade without wiping data. Just backup first :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] prodeguerriero:
Sounds like a plan. I think the issues I'm having are due to the fact that the apps can't write to the SD card. What do you think?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
My ROM fixes the storage permissions during installation, so this problem will be gone for sure. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] prodeguerriero:
Installing it right now! [emoji41]
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Alright, let me know how it worked out ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] prodeguerriero:
Ok, I'm playing with it now, it seems pretty smooth. Podcast addict seems to have the same issue though. The camera also tells me to "Insert an SD card". Maybe I should format it?

On a side note, when in the Storage settings I see only two partition: internal storage (which I'm guessing is sdcard0) and the actual SD card, which is clearly mounted but doesn't seem to be accessed correctly: the graph bar stays grey and it doesn't identify the card content. I'll try to post some pics.

Any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] prodeguerriero:
I booted to recovery and am installing everything from scratch. I noticed that the Internal storage was in exfat2 and converted it to exfat4. Let's see what happens.

On a side note: when I try to reboot from recovery, everything hangs and I have to force shutdown with power+volUp.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Internal storage should always be EXT4 file system with an uid of 1023:1023 :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] prodeguerriero:
That did the trick. Now I have two internal storages plus the external SD card (which is still grey btw) and the camera seems happy now. I'll keep playing with it and keep you posted, but this looks great! One note though, when the phone asks if I want to recover settings from old Android devices during the setup process, I am given the option to not import some app, by opening the list and un-ticking them. In this page, the DONE and CANCEL button don't seem to work. I can only go back with the system back/triangle button, undoing my custom selection. ;)

One extra question: I have a problem with the mic, which was the cause of my first flash to begin with. Do you know if there is some kind of hidden engineering setup where I can increase the mic gain?:confused:

Cheers
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I guess that's some kind of native CM12.1 issue that still has to be fixed. :)

My ROM has built-in FauxSound support. With this awesome app (or any other app that supports its kernel sound parameters) you can tweak all audio related stuff to your liking :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] prodeguerriero:
A little update: the ROM seems to work fine, but my phone has become now useless. Let me explain. My microphone started acting up a month ago, and people wouldn't hear me anymore. I had to either use headphones or put it in loudspeaker to work. Having two phones, I took them apart and narrowed down the problema to the logic board. Sony tells me I need to replace the logic board for a whopping 200$. So I thought "you know what, I'll just use the headphones". Now that it is not under warranty, I can even root it and play with it! So as soon as I got the phone back, I rooted and flashed.

For some reason, I now have the mic not working in any conditions. Not even with the headphones. I am going to flash back to stock to see if that changes anything. Do you have any insights on what might the issue be?

Cheers and thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I am not too familiar with the audio and microphone related changes between CM11 and 12, so I can't tell if it might be rom related.

Did the stock rom help? :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] prodeguerriero:
It seems better now. I'm going to flash your rom again and see what happens. About this, here's how I did it last time:

- root access

- install a custom recovery (see here)

- use the recovery to wipe and install your rom.

Here is my question: before going back to stock to check the mic, I did a backup of your ROM on micro SD using the recovery that came with it. Can I recover that backup instead of a clean flash? Can I use the custom recovery I linked above or should I use the one that came with your Rom?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Sure, restoring the backup will work fine :)

If you face the microphone issue again after restoring the backup, you can try a clean flash.

EDIT: I recommend the included recovery for restoring. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] prodeguerriero:
Damn, the headphones' mic is still not working after a clean install. It's too bad, because it is the only way I can communicate given that my Xperia mic is acting up. I really love your ROM though. Have you tested your headphones with it? :)

By the way, thanks for the help:D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
It's been more than 9 months since the release of my ROM, and I haven't received any reports about issues with microphones. However, haven't tested it myself. :D

You might also try my NeoWave ROM, maybe the mic works fine there as its KK based :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] prodeguerriero:
The mic problem is not the ROM's fault, it started when I was OEM still. About the headphones, I don't know. I tried to install CM11 again, but still no luck. Might it be a kernel based issue? I'm going to keep on trying and see what I come up with. Cheers!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] egren58:
I knew it was to good to be true... watch this video explaining jump on demand. All you are doing is basically renting. A phone. You actually never pay off your phone. If you own your phone for 18. Technically you should of paid the phone off. Well guess what with jump on demand you have to give the phone back or pay 200$ WTF?.... WHY SHOULDNT YOU BE ABLE TO KEEP YOUR PHONE IF YOU PAID THE BALANCE OF THE PHONE... i paid 400$ down and your telling me that in 18 months i have to pay extra 200$ a jote only comes every once a year..

https://youtu.be/qEUZYpO8__A
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Warrior1975:
Kind of pointless to have jump on demand if you aren't upgrading multiple times per year. If you are keeping the same phone for 18 months, better off without JOD.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] flamingblue8z:
As a T-Mobile Sales Associate, I have to chime in here. Jump On Demand is the leasing program. It is not a feature. So there's no "taking it off", because you signed a financial agreement for a lease. Now, the other thing to realize is that the phones are the EXACT same price regardless of which program you finance them through (Jump on Demand vs EIP), the primary difference is that with the 18 month lease, you're paying roughly the same monthly as you would for a 24 month EIP. I say roughly, because the taxes aren't paid up front on a lease, they're put on your bill each month with your device payment. At the end of that 18 months, there's roughly 6 months worth of payments left. You may either trade the phone in, let the remainder of the balance of the phone go into your monthly bill that month, come in and pay it, OR we changed this last week, you may break it up into payments on your bill. Also, as for the money you put down up front, I presume you were less than well qualified, because since this program launched in June, I have found *NO* way as a rep to take an additional down payment on a leased device. Less than well-qualified have a required down payment amount, but there has not been any way to change that. So if you are well qualified, or have been a customer long enough to be well-qualified, then you may have EIP'd your device on the original JUMP program (1 or 2, depending), cause with those you put the taxes down up front. That depends on where you live, of course, here it's 7%, and 7% of $700 is $49.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] knightr:
The total cost of the phone, plus tax, is divided by 24. That's what you pay monthly. If you own the phone for 18 months, you have not paid off the balance of the phone. You've paid the balance less 6 months. That 6 month balance becomes due, and you can own the phone. You don't pay anything more than the full balance.

Still, as many have said in other threads, the value of JOD is not for the person who keeps a phone for 18 months. It's for a person willing to continuously pay monthly to change phones 3 times a year.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] LaRosa217:
I'm using the original Jump! with my Note 5. I did it with the Note 3, to Note 4, and now the Note 5. I don't plan on upgrading to a new phone before the next Note comes out, so I will have at least paid 50% of my balance to qualify for the next upgrade. And, if I choose not to upgrade to the next phone, I just keep paying the EIP and will own the phone when I'm done. At that point, I just keep the phone and start Jump again with a new phone when I'm ready to upgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] flamingblue8z:
And unfortunately, corporate T-Mo has been forcing us at the retail level to put all new activations on Jump on Demand, and want to get as many people as possible off of JUMP 2 when they upgrade. I think ultimately they'd prefer not to have 2 different financing programs, but I could be wrong. Just remember... Jump on Demand is a lease. There's no "extra cost" for it. JUMP is a feature, $10/mo, that includes PHP, and can be added to your account as an option to upgrade your phone sooner by trading in your old phone that is on EIP. That's the most simplistic way to explain it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] egren58:
Yeah i will be calling tmbule i dont change phones 3 times a year
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] flamingblue8z:
I wish you luck. There's no way to change financial programs. Without returning the phone you have and repurchasing a new phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] egren58:
Im still under the 14 days return policy. Shouldn't be a problem...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] flamingblue8z:
Okay. Just be ready for the $50 restocking fee. They're being particularly strict about these things. At least in our district, upper level management won't let our managers make an excuses for why to sell new JOD devices on EIP. People are getting slapped on the wrist over it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] egren58:
Conaumer is always right lol nah i go to ma boys store see if he can do something about it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] flamingblue8z:
Let me know how it works out. Curious to see how other districts are doing it. I wasn't for the whole JOD thing when it was announced, but when they changed the terms to allow you to break up the remaining amount into payments, I realized it's really not any different than EIP. The fact that we "own" the phone during the term of the lease isn't anything to worry about. It's your phone once it's paid off. So just give it some thought, because I'm pretty convinced this is the way the phone payment programs are going. The benefit is that it's $0 up front on JOD. Plus, on T-Mobile, getting a Note 5 right now on Jump On Demand, you get a $4/month bill credit for the term of the lease. That's a $72 credit over 18 months toward the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] egren58:
What!?.. i had to pay 380 down. And no one ever told me about no 4$ credit. If its 0 down why i paid 380$ down?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] nohcho:
Probably because you weren't a "well qualified" customer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] flamingblue8z:
With $380 down, that means your credit is lesser qualified. It's like financing a car, you put more down up front and the rest is broken up into monthly payments. Pay your T-Mobile bill on time each month for 12 months and you'll get $0 down after the 12th payment. Otherwise, it takes 3 years tenure to be well-qualified for $0 down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] chrispyutec:
And you can't get carrier unlock either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] egren58:
With a code either from 3rd party?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] chrispyutec:
As long as your phone has the stupid T-Mobile unlock app, then only the code from TMO will work. For Jump On Demand, TMO will not unlock it because it's a leased phone. People could keep pressing the unlock issue with TMO, but being a leased phone I would assume they would never unlock it no matter how much complaining. I was on JOD and I got out of that and went to regular jump.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] adolfo778:
Good luck, there gonna make you go into the store and talk to the mod, they said anything related to JOD is handled at the store level only and that they can't do anything even if they wanted to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] LaRosa217:
Of course they're not going to unlock the phone if you're still paying on it, because you don't fully own it. If you paid it off completely & owned the device outright, then I'm sure TMO would gladly unlock the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] matt619sd:
I upgrade phones constantly so the jump on demand was by far the best deal going for me. That said I looked at this deal from top to bottom and as stated if you have good credit it is the best thing available. Even if you only upgrade once per year you are not paying anything extra for it and its better to have the option to upgrade over not. If you want to keep your phone for 18+ plus this deal still only requires you to pay off the remaining balance after 18 months. If you don't like that just buy your phones outright and be done with it. T-Mobile let's you run any phone you want on their network.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] androidkid27:
same goes for me.
