[Xperia Z3v General] pvcdroid:
I decided to initiate a warranty claim for another z3v today due to the microSD door separating from the plastic tab connector. It's considered a malfunction so it wasn't covered by Assurian. During the visit on the phone the vzw tech said Sony never released the lollipop upgrade to Verizon. I'll bet that's a lie. Anyway, I've wanted to get another z3v and root, update it thinking I'll own it for a couple more years and might as well start off with a fresh one, battery deterioration and wear considered. They had no black ones left so I am getting a white replacement.

While discussing the lollipop update she mentioned some have updated their phones and rooted and I admitted that I had. She recommended I get it back to stock before returning it and said it could trigger a charge if I didn't. No problem doing that once I make sure the replacement is good to go.
[Xperia Z3v General] MGSBigBoss:
How did you get that offer? Was that a result of you talking to the FCC claims Verizon rep?
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
I'm interested in this as well.
[Xperia Z3v General] MGSBigBoss:
However I still wouldn't trade this phone for any Samsung phone. I'll just pick up the XPERIA X performance and go to T Mobile
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Sent letter to FCC. Yes the Verizon rep is the one that made the offer.

I will retrieve the actual complaint and send to the both of you through PM.

Will be later on if not tomorrow.

I feel safe posting this here since I was told Verizon never checks this forum and no Reps from Verizon are on this site.
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
I very much appreciate it. Then I just have little more then 9months with it.

Come to think of it I might just call them tomorrow with this information. See if they want to by pass the complaint all together.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Did a warranty 'cause the USB door fell off mine the other day, got a nice pretty new one today, now I have to decide, give up the still stock Z3v for a Samsung S5 or keep the new Z3v.

The S5 is slated to get Marshmallow by March 2016 and is has Lollipop exploit patched official.

I like the Sony but man the problems and no updates.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Let me know if you do and the outcome of the conversation.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
My parents both have the Galaxy S5 and it's buggy as hell. When you turn on the screen, there's a bug in which the display is still off but the touch keys on the bottom light up. You have to flicker the power button a few times before getting the display to turn on.

Imo, if I get a Samsung, it would be the S7 Edge. Otherwise, I'm keeping my Z3v because I'm foreseeing new and interesting developments coming in the near future.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
But have you seen the Custom ROMs for the S5 yet? Several.
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
Well with this latest announcement I don't think I have much of a leg to stand on. I'm not going to call them. My angle has always been the lack of advanced calling. As far as speaking with them.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
Man I'm really glad we are getting the update, real late, but sad you may have to stay with a phone you may not like.
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
But am I correct in thinking that this is the end of update support for the z3V?
[Xperia Z3v General] :
That is probably likely. Sony Xperia and Android 6.0, Marshmallow. They could possibly provide some incremental patch to solve an unexpected glitch but that would be an atypical move on Verizon's part.

If GigaSPX turns out to be correct perhaps that will spur a Dev to do more for the Z3v.
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
The only way I could see us getting more updates from a dev is if we provided a z3v to say a US based z3 dev. Without that it is my opinion our chances are slim to none.
[Xperia Z3v General] ShdwWolf:
Plot twist! I had called in for a replacement because my power button was acting squirelly, i.e. Had to push it several times (sometimes as many as 50) to get the screen to come on, or put it to sleep, etc. etc. They first had me try a factory reset, then had me update it... lo and behold there was an update to Lollipop waiting for me! It didn't want to install, but when I got the 'new' phone, it did! I'm now running lollipop on my Z3v. Advanced calling, though the option is available, doesn't work. I'm assuming they have to activate it on their side of things. Just wanted to let everyone know!
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Advanced calling does work, and sometimes you have to manually do it yourself on your My Verizon account.

To enable HD video calling, make your your Mobile Data is enabled.
[Xperia Z3v General] racer0018:
Fingers crossed we still get this. I know the phone can handle it. So get on it Verizon and sony. And while you doing that find a way to bring the z5 or the m line to Verizon. Thanks all.
[Xperia Z3v General] racer0018:
I didn't get to play with the 6.0 android but my wife just got it sent to her Samsung s7 and it looks cool so far from what I seen of it. Maybe tomorrow she will let me play around with it.
[Xperia Z3v General] lg-sony-htc-samsung-apple:
Really wised we got it I would have kept this phone as my daily for sure
[Xperia Z3v General] naeroki_bi:
I think there is no Mashmarllow update for Sont z3v from Verizion, they left it there and do not update it as it's brother :(

One chance for us is someone can build a AOSP base on 6.0 for this phone

[Other Tools & General Discussion] Maxibillion:
Hey guys

i am planning to create an Eventapp for an event i am planning.

The first step is to choose the best option between classic apps Andoid/iOS App (so two apps) and a cross platform app (like phone gap.com).

Since the app should provide various features (overview listed below) i am not sure which option i should choose.

Features:

•	User registration / login / password forgotten

•	Community functions such as user profiles / chat / user overview / meeting appointments

•	Time Table of several workshops / speeches

•	Stand overview (Map)

•	Sponsors and Partners

•	Votingprocess for several contests

•	Voting of questions for Q & A sessions

•	Matching-Process for users

•	Indoor GPS navigation (optional)

Is it possible to get all these funcitons in a smooth crossplatform app?

Thanks for your help in advance.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinert012:
My wifi has been off since i upgraded to M, clean install from the Google images. It still reports my wifi as on and using up my battery....is this a bug or am i reading this incorrectly?

http://imgur.com/a/ow5fj
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculatedRisk:
I don't know if this is a setting in marshmallow, but I know in KitKat if you go into the advanced settings menu on the wifi page there is an option that allows the phone to automatically turn on and scan for networks without any user intervention. That setting should be turned off.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdawg0024:
You're not alone I'm using mine, but WiFi wasn't on top of the list ever in 5.1.1. Has to be a bug
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldswimmerb:
Ive got this issue as well. Its really annoying. I always keep Wifi off to extend battery life but with M I might as well just keep it on...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinert012:
Ugh, this is not good.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinert012:
huh...mine is set to Always keep wifi on during sleep. Does that matter even if wifi is off?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculatedRisk:
Since I'm still running kitkat i can't speak for marshmallow, but on KitKat, the wifi on/off toggle takes priority over that setting. Wifi will only stay on during sleep if it was turned on to begin with, but that isn't the issue you guys are experiencing right? There might be an option in that same menu that says something like "let Android search for networks even if wifi turned off". That gives the results you guys are experiencing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipinbp:
Go to settings-->location-->menu-->scanning and check if WiFi and Bluetooth scanning options are kept on..

I don't have this issue..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinert012:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdawg0024:
When I flashed the Factory Image (6.0) I had this problem. I flashed back to 5.1.1 booted the phone. Then booted into recovery and sideloaded the OTA update to 6.0 booted the phone and preformed a factory reset. I do not have this problem anymore. Wifi doesn't even show up in the battery stats.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipinbp:
During initial setup Google asked me if I wanted to keep WiFi scanning enabled to help apps with location to find the location easily.. I declined.. Hence they were off..

Did it help with the battery?

[General Questions and Answers] beanshr:
Is there a way to combine app like Motion Detector Pro to automatically trigger another app which switches smart electric plug on/off ?

I have a smart plug Edimax SP-2101W with which I can turn electric appliances on and off with my phone and I would like to use that phone as a motion detector for that smart plug, so that everytime motion is detected phone would automatically turn appliance on or off.

I tried apps like tasker, macrodroid, etc., but none of them has triggers for the camera or the action to execute command of smart plug app when motion detector app detects movement.

thx..

Nothing new. Samsung and all other android phone makers have horrible records in keeping their phone updated. I can still run IOS 9.1 beta on my ipad2 which is two years old. Next phone will be either Motorola or Nexus.

Looks like it's off to the 6P I go in a couple months.

This does not rule out a pity update to 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 however.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] capricorn1680:
That's okay. I wasn't too happy with Lollipop. I'll stick with Kit Kat.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cherokee140:
How much time did you give Lollipop? The fist 3-4 days I hated it, battery life sucked and I was constantly chasing apps that were killing it. Now I absolutely love Lollipop...better battery life than KK, connects to "screen mirroring" and chromecast instantly, stable with fluid swipes, solid connections on BT, slightly better RF and voice on calls. I'll ride this out for a while until I have $$$ for another used phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KTownGT:
Takes a couple of charging cycles to fully settle in. Quicker if you clean install, & have SQLite/fsTRIM set up properly.

There may be a 5.0.2 port with an OC1 base coming in a little while. Don't give up on LP just yet

It was more of the UI feel and a few things specific that I like about Kit Kat over Lollipop.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kas21:
I have three certificates that I use for email signing, email encryption, and 802.1x authentication for WiFi. My certs have a passphrase and are stored as PFX files. Prior to Android 6.0, I could install these certificates and use them without any problem. On 6.0, Android will not recognize the files. I have tried changing the file extension and cert format. I have removed the passphrase but Android still throws an error when I try to install the cert saying "Couldn't install because the certificate file couldn't be read".

Has anything change on Marshmallow that would prevent me from installing certs that I have used in the past?

[Nexus 5 General] tullnd:
Here' s the thing. Your first comment is flawed. "i figure" does not mean you know. There's a ton of reasons why it may not have worked. Could be a problem with that McDonald's for all we know. Or your card issuer(the person at their customer service line isn't privvy to everything technical occurring that may not yet be widely known). You've done limited to know troubleshooting to really isolate the issue.

Second...security is what matters. Why? Cause it's not on you. It's on the vendor and the card issuer. They are the ones who get to dictate what level of security is required before they CHOOSE to participate. I'm sure Google could come up with an option for rooted users...and I'm pretty sure Visa/Mastercard and other bank backed card issuers would tell them to take a hike.
[Nexus 5 General] crachel:
You nor Google aren't the one assuming the risk, it's the banks and they are the very reason you can't use this with root. The trade off for Google is yet another foray into your personal data and what you are doing with your money and where.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
No. No they aren't willing and no they won't see the value.
[Nexus 5 General] baknblack:
PayPal works but, the stores are extremely limited right now. Maybe later.
[Nexus 5 General] chrisinsocalif:
No, this is wrong and i will tell you why.

If fraudsters charge up a storm on stolen card data with a given merchant, and that merchant delivers his product, he’s out the product – and that’s just the start.

The banks may then look to him for reimbursement for permitting the fraudulent transactions. In addition, the payment processor will learn of the fraud and terminate his processing account. Once that happens, no other processing firm is likely to take his business. He’ll be put on a blacklist. So in this case, the merchant can just get destroyed (specifically small businesses).

Usually, however, it is the banks that get hurt the most. This includes small regional banks. Visa and MasterCard’s contracts generally put the burden of fraud reimbursement onto the bank. A small bank may get hit with a big fraud reimbursement if a breach is serious enough. Worse, if the merchant itself is somehow involved, it may make it impossible to recoup from the merchant.

The risk isn't yours.

Also, I would also question the legality of altering software/firmware to use your credit cards. Maybe it's against the terms and conditions or possibly the law. I would look into that before you make any purchases.
[Nexus 5 General] thinkmac:
I wonder if Apple Pay fails if you jailbreak iOS...

Obstacles with the Android Pay is a bummer, but if I have to choose between Android Pay and Rooting, my money is on rooting. I can still use my hard to pay, and I actually run into more stores that prefer EMV chip, over Apple/Android Pay.

Maybe in the future, for people with Android wear, we may be able to pay with watch linked to a rooted phone..?
[Nexus 5 General] jmsether:
Here is an easy alternative. Go to Amazon and buy one of those fancy cases that allow you to carry cards. Problem solved.
[Nexus 5 General] wangdaning:
Personally, I use cash. I guess that is because I am from the 20th century. In all reality, they could set it up so that you transfer the invisible money from your invisible account into an invisible account ran by google, then you could use that invisible money for your purchases. They would have to have an agreement that if your invisible money somehow becomes more invisible they are not responsible. Google would then be able to simply take your invisible money, but no way they would do that, right?

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Changelogs:

TWRP 2.8.2.0 Released

What’s new in 2.8.2.0:

- MTP fixes and improvements - you can now copy zips to the root of storage - thanks to _that

-Pull in all changes from Android 5.0 lollipop into TWRP

-Add decrypt support for Android 5.0 lollipop encrypted partitions including automatic decrypt when the default_password is in use

-Revert some changes to exFAT that were breaking exFAT support on some devices

-Other minor fixes and updates

Note: At this time we do not have a GUI representation for pattern unlock. You can still decrypt patterns though by translating the pattern dots to numbers. The pattern dots correspond to numbers in the following pattern:

1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9

So an upper-case L would translate to a password of 14789 entered on the keyboard. Eventually we plan to add a proper pattern unlock to TWRP but it is a relatively low priority at this point.

Yeah this is 32bit. Are you sure you are doing the chroot process correctly? you are wanting to call the /bin/arch-chroot binary from your mount point (/mnt).

For example, to chroot from / on ubuntu you will want to use:

To chroot into the arch partition.
