[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pharoahwen:
I've read around the forum and wiki, and it is not clear to me the requirements of upgrading only the radio. My questions are:

1. I have a cing/Att 8525, running the latest WM5 release by att/htc from htc's att site; My phone has not been sim / cid unlocked. Can I upgrade my radio only without unlocking the phone? I upgraded to the official ATT WM6 release from this site, but I lost sync functionality for Microsoft Money for PPC; this is 90% of the reason I bought the phone in the first place, so I'm going to go back to the WM5 release. However, the 1.48 radio in the WM6 release gives me better reception. So, can I upgrade the radio only in the wm5 release w/o unlocking the phone (which is still under warranty)?

2. If the answer to 1 is yes, the second question is that if I clear storage and reformat the phone sometime in the future for warranty purposes, will the radio revert to the WM5 version?

Thanks in advance!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ma499:
Yes you can flash the radio ROM only. Have a look at the wiki for instructions and download links to extracted radio ROMs (including 1.48). You do not need to unlock your device but installing Hard-SPL first is a very good idea if you want to avoid having to make a call on your warranty.

Yes you can downgrade by flashing over another radio - provided that it (like 1.48) uses radio bootloader 0108. If it uses an older bootloader version you will not be able to downgrade at all. You can check which bootloader version is in use on the wiki page listing radio roms. However, I wouldn't worry about it for two reasons: 1) if you can't downgrade you are stuck on 1.48 now anyway (anothe reason you ought to have Hard SPL installed as a failed downgrade may brick your device); and 2) virtually all official recent WM5 updates will include a radio sufficiently new that it uses bootloader 0108.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pharoahwen:
U R The Man....

I had read and read and read, and finally stepped out on a limb and did exactly that (hardsplv7, and radio rom 1.50) Prior to reading your response. but you actually answered my remaining question, concerning my warranty. I greatly appreciate your response.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Trezona:
But if you follow Mrvanx's guide to downgrade the SPL to match your radio version, this should also work not so?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ma499:
The "radio bootloader" is part of the Radio ROM image, and completely separate from the main SPL bootloader. Once you are on a Radio ROM that uses radio bootloader 0108 you can't downgrade to an older radio bootloader version.

Ahhh, ok sorry, i got a bit confused between the bootloaders.

Thanks for the reminder ma499. Really appreciate it!

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phate1337:
Hello,

I'm running my Xperia SP on CM 12.1 with the stock kernel.

Since my last update onto the Nightly 12.1-20150928 I can't use phone calls properly. Either the connection can't be made or, if the connection was possible, I can't hear the other person (he can hear me).

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

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

I've fixed the problem. It seems like it was caused by using my headphones earlier this day. The phone didnt registred i've unplugged them.

This case can be closed.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isocadia:
It is not possible to restore the TA partition and keep the bootloader unlocked. As mentioned in the post above me it is possible to regain DRM functionality on a stock ROM through that mod. Do note that this is only for stock ROM, it probably won't work or do anything on an AOSP based ROM.

I hope we have answered your questions :)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcgrathpatj:
Isn't Carbon ROM CM based? I wonder cause I too am looking at best path forward. IF CM based, my understanding is all camera apps will give a fish eye lens effect. I notice it all the time with any vertical lines not directly centered. I had to go back to stock rooted and re-lock bootloader. There's a ROM I'm using now called AIO (All in one, with heavy de-bloat and xposed already installed). Seems pretty good, except now I cannot install my banking apps.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's now no longer worth rooting. Separate discussion, I know.

[LG Watch Urbane] Deleted member 267841:
Hello,

I own a Urbane since a week.

My battery duration isn't pretty good.

I have disabled WiFi and Fit, I have set brightness at 3 and I have set screen allways on and gestures off.

I charge the battery every night, and I active fly mode in the watch and cinema mode at night.

Normally I disconnect from the charger at 1-1:30 AM, and I start my day at 6:30 AM.

The watch compsumes about a 10% during the night (from 1-1:30 AM to 6:30 AM, while fly mode and cinema mode are active),

and I end my day at 11:00 PM, and the remaining battery is about 5-7%.

I think there are not good battery numbers here, or are the normal compsumition rates?

Thanks in advance!
[LG Watch Urbane] Deleted member 267841:
Today I'm monitorizing the battery compsumtion and is about 5% per hour.

I have disabled WiFi and Fit, I have set brightness at 3 and I have set screen allways on and gestures off.

Is normal?
[LG Watch Urbane] Skin1980:
With your settings im having 2-3%/hr
[LG Watch Urbane] cyvr1:
Another question would be: which watch face are you using? Battery consumption very much depends on the functions and information a watch face provides. Showing battery levels of the watch and/or the phone, regularly updated weather information drain the battery faster.

I have WiFi off, Fit on, always on is off, gestures on and screen brightness 3. Also I'm informed about incomming messages. The battery drain is about 2.15%/hour. I remove the watch from the charger at about 5:30h in the morning and can get easily 2 days out of one charge if I enable flight and theater mode at night.

As watch face I use a nice but simple watchmaker watch face without any additional information except the date.
[LG Watch Urbane] Deleted member 267841:
I'm using Pathfinder watchface (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dd.watchdesigner.pathfinder) but I have tried stock classic and stock moonphase and the

battery drain is about the same.

I need to try to disable "always on" but "always on" feature (on amoled display) is just the reason due to that I have buy the Urbane.
[LG Watch Urbane] Nubloatware:
you can change to a watchface with black/dark background. This will help to conserve battery with OLED display.
[LG Watch Urbane] Deleted member 267841:
Last 6 hours I've deactivated "allways on" and activated "gesture to power on", and the battery drain is about 1.5-2.5% per hour.

This seems normal, don't?
[LG Watch Urbane] jeffek:
set the brightness to 1 thats what i did and it makes a huge difference. the watch is plenty bright on 1 imho the diff between 1 and 3 is not much but the batt saving is worth it
[LG Watch Urbane] Rickyzx:
With your settings normally it should take 3-4%/hr

I suggest you to take a look on your all setting once more.
[LG Watch Urbane] Deleted member 267841:

As new member I was adviced to post my question in this forum.

After downloading new firmware with XperiFirm 4.8.0 and activated option to unpack downloaded software automatically I get an error message that there is included a file with a filename longer than 260 characters, which would not be supported by the "CLR". I am trying this on a Windows 10 Notebook, so I am not sure if this error message refers to an issue with the Windows OS or if it refers to the target OS Android. Are there any suggestions what to try next or do I have to wait until a really issue with provided release will be fixed by elsewhere?

BR, Johann
[General Questions and Answers] IgorEisberg:
When you select the folder to download to, choose the root of your drive (ie. C:\ or D:\)

Windows doesn't treat paths longer than 260 characters well. You'll get the same error when you try to extract an archive with WinRAR in a very nested folder with a long path.

[Pixel C General] CheCorchete:
So, why don't call the Pixel C-> Pixel Nexus?. It's Google thinking of leave the Nexus Tablet program, or they're just waiting to release a better product?.﻿
[Pixel C General] thomase00:
I only just bought the Nexus 9 during HTC's most recent 40% of sale both because of the good price AND because I thought that there was no new tablets from Google this year.

If the Pixel C isn't called a Nexus, even though it runs Android, it probably means that it won't be running strictly AOSP. On the positive side, maybe this means it will have vendor-proprietary performance optimizations. On the negative side, it might not be as developer-friendly as a Nexus.

This is the first Google tablet that has caught my attention in quite some time. Although, I sort of wish it was going to be released with 4GB ram. Perhaps 3GB is enough though...

[Pixel C General] darkchazz:
Let's see here...

nvidia tegra SoC.... yep.. won't even consider buying this thing.

Seriously though, what kind of productivity can we expect to do on an Android tablet?

What is so horrible about the Nvidia Tegra X1?
[Pixel C General] darkchazz:
I can't say anything about the X1.

But previous Tegras were hyped by nvidia yet mostly failed to deliver.

Latest being the K1 Denver in the Nexus 9. Benchmark scores are off the roof but performance in day-to-day usage is nowhere near as good.

Power consumption is also quite high and the chip heats up like crazy once you start doing anything more than just scrolling through pages.

[Pixel C General] MisiekFoxx:
True to that. I bought a Nexus 9 about half a year ago but sold it again 1 month ago. It can be razor fast however I feel the OS (kernel?) is badly optimised to properly support the powerful processor. The Nexus 9 felt laggy most of the time. At 1 point it bugged me so much I sold it off again. Felt like a beast in a cage :(
[Pixel C General] Joey R:
Google actually manufactures the Pixel line. They are typically made with stellar quality, design, and materials (and generally priced to match). Nexus devices are manufactured by other companies (LG, Asus, etc). They are made in partnership with Google and offer the clean Android experience. They're also typically very reasonably priced for the hardware offered (the N6 being the exception).

[Pixel C General] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
So all the kiddies in this thread led to me having no choice but to post, as I have been saying this for months over on G+. If you are having any "issues" with the Nexus 9, it is the way you are going about it, and not the tablet. As [MENTION=2489052]NYCHitman1[/MENTION] can attest, the Nexus 9 is very battery efficient, and mine (at least) NEVER overheats, or even gets close to a point where i would consider it "hot". I get about a MONTH of standby time, and routinely see over 10 hours of screen on time when streaming media, and close to 6 hours of SOT when gaming. Never once has it heated up doing either. I love my Nexus 9, and the only way I would consider going with ANYTHING else, would be if Google decided to release another 10 inch Nexus (f the Pixel). I want the ability to let developers improve my device, I want the bigger screen size (after using the N9 for almost a year, I could never go back to a 7 inch screen like my Flo had), and I want to be able to rely on my tablet having battery left even if I don't charge it for a couple days. In my opinion, the Flounder is leaps and bounds an improvement over the 2013 Nexus 7, and I think Google hit a homerun with it. Just my lousy two cents. (Also, I just recently got 900+ hours of Up Time on my N9, with no lag issues, no freezing, and no dip in performance. The attached screenshot is with about 650 hours of Up Time, and it was still going like a champ)
