[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cory733:
theres other threads on this but theyre all old and lead nowhere. i enabled hidden menus by changing OFF to ON in the hidden menu file that has that option. typed *#0808# in the dialer and get the menu to select MTP + ADB. that fixes it but after a reboot it always reverts back. it never sticks. also renamed autorun.iso so the verizon software iso would stop loading, but my computer just sees an empty cd drive now and my phone still goes to installer mode automatically so it doesnt really make a difference. has anyone figured out how to make this permanent?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TordFuglstad:
Hello,

I'm going to sell my Z3 and buy a Z5. And I wanted to sell my Z3 second hand to make some money.

What would you recommend doing to delete EVERYTHING that has ever been on the phone and then make the phone ready for the next owner?

Thank you in advance!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hussain_Salam:
What i usually do to make it ready is i do a factory reset, Once i've done a factory reset I flash the latest Android Version/Stock Version available for the device. Clean everything up and put it all back into the box and sell it lol
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TordFuglstad:
Yeah that was my plan. But I'm thinking is there a way to really format the drive first?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
if you are rooted sure. Format everything in recovery if you want, but i see no point in it. Flashtool stock ROM and box it.

Other than that, if all your personal stuff was on the SD, no need to worry. Heard spooky stories that people with tech knowledge can restore old personal files on Androids internal SD.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TordFuglstad:
yeah, I found out if all the files was deleted off the internal memory, then filled up with different ****. Then that would overwrite everything and the previous files would be gone 100%.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danz207:
Could always encrypt the phone beforehand then erase it. Guaranteed no trace left :good:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TordFuglstad:
How could I do this?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
Thought encryption was only for SD Card.. Atleast my phone has only that option. Are we talking third party sw here?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danz207:
I believe in the Security menu, look for encrypt phone. Depending on how much data is on the phone determines how long it takes. A recently reset phone would take less time. Phone needs to be plugged in the entire time.

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

You can encrypt the SD card as well and it's not third party software, it's built into Android itself. In fact, [MENTION=6348454]TordFuglstad[/MENTION] if you can't find the option in Security menu, try under Storage.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] jamespbk:
Hi guys,

Does any one own the SCR44 Style cover for the Z5C and also own a Z3C?

I'm curious if it will fit and function as the phones are basically identical in size.

Thanks!!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Copelandian:
I have the cover and a friend has a z3c.

..maybe i can try it this evening.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Random Username:
It probably doesn't. The curvature of the edges is different, The Z5C has flatter edges. Also, the camera is in a different location.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Copelandian:
NFC cant find the cover.

..But it fits pretty well

The light and the top microphone are covered.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] jamespbk:
Thanks for checking Copelandian!

What a shame NFC doesn't detect it and that Sony couldn't of designed it like this in the first place instead of those cheap as f*** versions that preceded this one..

Hi, this is my first post

I replaced my battery after studiying youtube dissasembling.

Now the digitizer shows no more reaction.

Yes i had to open and loosen the flatcables and yes i think as an old hw guy i also installed correctly when reasembling.. Don't believe i broke something.

I see no reaction on any position of screen. Strange...

Any idea what to do, is there some kind of sw reset?

2. question. Is there a way to readout the datas , make an backup?

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anghirrim:
Hi all,

While looking for a rom to flash on my Idol, I found one guy comparing the Idol 3 5.5 to the Yu Yureka Plus phones.

Seems they are similar.

http://www.gsmarena.com/yu_yureka_plus-7436.php

Maybe another device to follow-up and port from?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeik:
Dear lord,they are pretty much identical! O.O

I think that we won't need to do MUCH to port ROMs from the Yureka Plus.

Hopefully one of the two devs we have will try to mix something up. xD
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gautam.malik:
They are totally different phones

http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/cff450e54
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeik:
I dont mean to be rude,but are you OK?

Exact same CPU,same clockspeed,same amount of RAM,same camera module.

The only possible difference(software-wise) can be the partition tables.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flopticalcube:
Chipsets are the same but both front and back cameras are different, no dual band wifi, no stereo speakers, no NFC, CDMA, different LTE bands. Its a copy, not a clone.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeik:
I over-exaggerated.

I never thought they were identical,but at least in the past,same CPU,camera and RAM were things needed in order to port a rom to another device,other things would be patched up.

I think it would be much easier to try porting a rom for that device and patch some things up than making a rom out of scratch with only 3 devs working for the Idol 3.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flopticalcube:
Yes, I see what you are saying. It would be a good starting point. I think only the lens configuration is different on the rear cam.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gautam.malik:
I didn't want to be rude at all, may be the message was misleading.

When I compare identical phone, I think in terms of whether the rom of one phone can be used, after some tweaks, in another phone that you are comparing.

Otherwise, many phones share some level commonless.

Eg. Umi Emax mini and idol 3 5.5 are quite similar except screen size. Look at their rom... they are nearly identical
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeik:
I know. I was being dramatic. :P

But it is much easier to port a rom from a device with same CPU and other parts(plus patching some things up) than making a rom out of scratch.
[Samsung Gear S2] JFH2005:
Hey guys... I'm running Android 5.1.1 with 3GB ram on my Z3 Tab w/4G Sim - I can't get the Gear app installed through the Play store - is there any other way to (manually?) install the app?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Gear S2] ripv2:
Did you try to install the files from http://xdaforums.com/gear-s2/themes-apps/samsung-gear-manager-samsung-accessory-t3216240
[Samsung Gear S2] JFH2005:
Thanks for that link... I installed those two files on the Z3 and then ran the Gear app - it responds "Gear not found. Turn your Gear on and try again."

Z3 Bluetooth settings I can see the Z3 paired with the S2 but the Gear app doesn't see the watch.

Then the watch goes into continuously "setting up..." with S2 showing image of watch>blue circle>phone and it never finishes setting up... eventually, the S2 says "Setup is taking longer than expected. Try again?"

I've tried powering everything off and on again - same result.

If I don't manually pair in settings - nothing happens. Gear app still can't see S2.

On the Z3 it shows two available Bluetooth devices when the S2 is switched on: Gear S2 and "PCS-REVII-010068" - I can pair the Gear S2 manually but if I try to connect the "PCS" device (whatever that is?) Z3 says "Can't communicate with PCS-REVII-010068"

Any ideas? Much Thanks!.

[Samsung Gear S2] jaime4272:
I created an thread about how to pair the Z3 Tablet compact or a none compatible device to the phone but deleted cos it was old and there was no comments. if it is not compatible it wont work because it's not a samy devices and the tab it's not a phone. the only way to make it work it's a little bit complicated and the Samsung store won't work to shop for apps but everything else does. I have my watch pair to my Z3 tablet compact ever since I bought the gear s2 4g watch.
[Samsung Gear S2] MasterTB:
I had problems syncing it with my Z3 too.

What I did was install this apps, in this order:

Samsung Gear https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager

Gear Plugin https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.gearoplugin

Accessory Service https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.accessory

Install those apps, restart the phone (delete the Gear S2 from Bluetooth devices if you had already tried to install it), enable bluetooth, start the watch, open Gear App and it will sync.
[Samsung Gear S2] JFH2005:
Thanks - I sent the Gear S2 back to Amazon when it wouldn't work with my Z3
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbrunone:
So it seems that Lollipop's implementation of IPv6 doesn't work at all, and Google knows about it. Search "Lollipop ipv6" on Google for a bunch of info about it.

This is definitely the case on my Comcast router at home, as it takes 5-10sec of lag to even start loading something over Wifi, until IPv6 times out and it reverts to v4. I can't disable IPv6 on my router, and my LG G4 is too new to have a reliable root performed (I've tried, it didn't work). The only option is to use the app DNSet, which uses a VPN somehow to force the phone to use IPv4.

Well, when I do that, my phone suddenly becomes completely unable to receive MMS text messages. Also, I don't like that the app is routing all of my traffic through some guy's garage.

So I have this awesome new LG G4 and I have to choose between Wifi working properly, or MMS texts working properly? That is BS. Seriously has anyone come up with a fix for this that actually works?? Or do I have to go buy a new router without IPv6??
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Zorachus:
I don't have pictures right now, i can get those later this weekend. I love my Note 5, naked it's an awesome phone, but a slippery mofo, I'm afraid will drop and crack, so a case is a must when going to work or out and about IMO. At home I run naked :)

Least liked cases :(

Tech 21; = Grade D

https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-tactical-tactical-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-5-black

Great protection, but very wide, and thick, and too plain jane looking. Buttons hard to click. Just not a fan of this one, made the phone heavy like a brick.

Tech 21; = Grade F

Flexible TPU case. This cased sucked, doesn't even fit my Wife's Note 5 snugly, always comes loose.

Ok Case;

Poetic - Affinity case = Grade C

http://www.amazon.com/Affinity-Premium-Protection-Material-Protective/dp/B013A1FTNS

Cool looking case, not thick, but not thin, sort of medium. Offers nice protection, but gets very oily and messy, and the rear of the phone itself needs to be spotless, or else it will be shown through the clear gel. Was ok to me.

Awesome case, must have's;

Ringke slim = Grade A+

http://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Essent...18016&sr=1-1&keywords=note+5+case+ringke+slim

Wow, this case is so thin, and tight, it hugs the phone like a thick skin, and not an actual case. But covers it well enough to keep any scratches from happening, and looks really cool in the matte black, and offers minor protection from small drops. The matte black version has a sort of sticky rubbery feel, in a good way, but still slick enough to slide in your pants. If you want a super thin case, but still offers a bit of protection, that's looks great, this case hands down is the best.

Caseology; = Grade A

http://www.amazon.com/Caseology®-Wa...4418476&sr=1-3&keywords=note+5+case+caseology

Wow, this one surprised the heck out of me, just wow. My Wife hated her Tech 21 TPU case that didn't fit for sh!t, so I took a gamble on this Caseology salmon colored case. Holy crap this thing is amazing, just blew me away with the fit and finish and feel. The feel on the back of this case, is just so perfect, and the two tone color, with the pink and gold trim, really looks rich, not cheesy at all, but very well done, and classy. Not my color choice, but for my Wife and her White N5, it really does look superb. And yes it's more bulky than the Ringke Slim, but really not that bulky. Out of all these cases I have tried, I would say thickness wise, the Caseology is thinner than all of them, except the Ringke. I am going to buy the Black Caseology now.

Hello fellow z3'ers, so I picked up a 2nd hand z3. He was the original owner. He also sent it back to sony because of a previous problem which was it wasn't connecting to a network. So he got a replacement. Which I have now.

The vibrate does not work with any notifications or phone calls or texting.

I'm not rooted. On the latest 5.1.1 build 23.4.A.1.232

The good part is that he said he would handle the warranty exchange for me.

But I would like to know if anyone has had this problem or know how to fix it. Because I don't want to send it in but I will of I have to. So yea.

I've factory resetted already. Don't know what else besides that.

At that point, you should be able to freeze/disable Abobe Air to keep the problem app from appearing again.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ridenickel9:
I read that as well, I am curious to see where this will go.... fingers crossed!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
It would explain why we haven't received 5.1.1 yet. They may just jump us straight to 6.0 but it also means we will have to choose whether to stay rooted on 5.0 or give up root for 6.0 since it can (currently) only be rooted if you have an unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BigBot96:
Indeed. Due to selinux (which is a great feature), rooting 5.1.1 or later requires an selinux permissive kernel. Otherwise you end up with a bootloop after rooting. And the only way to get an selinux permissive kernel is to build from samsung sources... basically Samsung has officially defeated root as of Android 5.1.1 with it's heavy integration of KNOX.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] m0bk3yn1nj4:
Oh, okay. So I'm waiting for it to come out then I can just download it on my phone, root or not.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Chopstix9:
Yes, but ... if you are rooted and activate sdm to allow the OTA notification and take the OTA, you do it knowing that you are saying goodbye to root, probably for the remaining life of your phone.

I took Bennec83's today screen and turned it into a pretty dialer for my phone. I really just dont like the dark dialer. Anyway, you have to copy the files in the zip into your windows directory then soft reset the phone. NOTE: YOU WILL BE STUCK WITH THIS DIALER UNLESS YOU BACK UP YOUR FILES FIRST.

Theme is from originally from Trinity and has been slightly tweaked by Pawel062 (great job by the way!). It's probably my favorite look for the phone.

following Pawel062's advice will get you the correct blue colors as he suggest below.
