Hello,

I was just wondering, not sure if it's been answered before, but it seems strange that rom developers put their roms on websites with agonisingly slow download speeds, when a peer to peer solution (such as torrents) could allow the community to seed and provide super fast download speeds? Especially since most android-based file hosts (cough) have no download servers in a lot of regions.

Question of legality is irrelevant since uploading to an external website is just as legal/illegal depending on what you want to call it, as it's still sharing the file..

Can anyone provide an explanation as to why this practice is not widespread? It would be beneficial to be able to download big 700mb roms at 5MB/s instead of 300KB/s.. Of course if a rom is not well-seeded, an alternative non-torrent download could be provided along side it.

Thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
Doesn't seem like a good idea. Overtime people would stop seeding the torrent. There are a lot of high speed sharing websites such as Google Drive, Dropbox, MediaFire etc.
[General Questions and Answers] brezzo:
While that is true for very old ROMs, I think there are plenty of very popular roms that could seriously benefit a lot from hosting it as a torrent. I think some already do it but I guess people are concerned about lack of seeders.

It would be good if devs used those services, but sadly things like Google Drive detect a lot of downloads of a file and make it temporarily unavailable (due to piracy concerns, I guess). Devs end up using special "file hosts" for android roms and whatnot, and they are honestly terribly slow, and some even offer "turbo speeds" for a price, no good in my book.
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
I don't know really. They mostly use Drive and AndroidDevHost for roms which is fine for me since the max download for me is 450KBps anyways.

Hi,

my name is Andrea and first of all thanks to give me your attention.

I'm in europe, italy, and was watching Z3 model d6683, it's for chinese market i guess, particular version of dual sim model. Now, i've two sim, the operator is "3 italia", and its signal is from 3g to 4g (if the area is covered by 2g signal only, i go in roaming signal, and can't surf etc). Now, i'm looking for a dual sim phone, and both sim have to get at least 3g signal at the same time. I'm not asking to surf with both sim at the same time, and i'm not asking "dual active", not interested if when i call, the other sim goes airplane mode. I'm asking if Sony Xperia Z3 model d6683 has two sim can get both at least in 3g mode during standby and always in general, cause i surf with one sim, i call with the other one, but this last don't want to go roaming all the time. Hope it's clear.

I can get this particular model because an Eshop has it online, but first need to know this problem.

Hope it can, and battery can last in any case.

Or if you know some other phones...

Thanks

Hope i have helped you
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Renovatio|:
So the second one can't get higher than 2g? Are you sure, could be the operator..or is just the phone? And if you put sim 1 to 3g, the second always max 2g?

Thanks a lot, some people told me this phone could be the only one to do what i'm looking for, but i guess it doesn't exist.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czguy:
D6683 is designed specifically for the Chinese market. It uses bands that are incompatible with rest of the world, therefore, it would be mostly useless anywhere else.

The following is from xperiablog.net:

Sony Xperia Z3 Dual TD (D6683) network support

– Dual SIM version which supports TD-LTE in China

– 4G FDD LTE: Band 1 (2100), Band 3 (1800), Band 7 (2600)

– 4G TD-LTE: Band 28 (2600 CMCC),Band 39 (1900), Band 40 (2300), Band 41 (2600 Unicom)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Renovatio|:
?

Fdd are here in europe, my operator cover 1800 and 2600 lte. Maybe Tdd too.

But could be enough the fact to support just 3g, but the important would be both sim can get up to that at the same time. I'm just asking this.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czguy:
The only way to make sure is to test it. When I went to China last month my Z3 Dual worked nicely on Unicom's 2600 band. The first time I've read about D6683, I've got really excited until I've found out that it does not support bands used on North American continent wich makes is useless as a world phone to me. If you plan to use it in Europe only, there is a chance that it will work for you. I was not able to find out what 3G bands D6683 supports because the situation there is quite messy. Chinese 3G network is 80% incompatible for rest of the world, the only network that works with foreign phones is Unicom. It's very similar in Japan as well. Understanding that this phone is targeted for the Chinese market, I am pretty sure that it would be useless in North America (and most likely in Europe as well) on 3G bands. Luckily, with the proliferation of LTE networks while 2G is being slowly phased out, we are going to see more phones supporting simultaneous LTE on both SIMs soon.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Renovatio|:
Of course stay in Europe lol.

But i do not care the fact could not work here, as the fact I want it to support 3g at least at same time.

I guess user niks answerd the question, but i asked to check a few things via mp. But probaly he's right, the phone could show if, after you set connection on sim 1, could support 3g signal on second one. It's impossibile, i have to admit

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Renovatio|:
Thank you. Maybe we re not understanding each other.

I think it can support 3g and even 4g here. My question is when one sim is on 3g/4g,the other one goes 3g? Not to connect data to surf, just about quality, frequency.. at least..

I'm looking one phone it can do it. Seems does not exist.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czguy:
I do understand what you mean. It would have to be tested, however, there is a very good chance that it might since D6683 can simultaneously run on LTE bands using both SIMs which no Z3 Dual (D6633) can do. Most of the networks in Canada where I live use 3G for voice (same in Australia) and regular Z3 Dual is useless in such scenario, however, there is a chance it would work fine with D6683 which would become a dual SIM phone to go to except LTE bands.

This happens mainly when the phone has been sleeping for over 10/15 minutes. The issue is most noticeable with whatsapp/ gmail and facebook notifications.

So now with the Note 5 having the same issue. Notifications come late, sometimes hours late.

Hi everyone. First of all, excuse me for my not well English. Today I've tried to reset my Motorola Moto G XT1032: it's a GPE converted by me some months ago. I've not succeded to reset it using Android settings. So, I've tried using the flashboot menu (Volume down + power, Recovery, Volume up + power, delete all), but all data has remained on the phone.

So I tried to re-flash GPE firmware, as I did some months ago, but after the process the phone does not boot and stucks on Google boot logo with an the opened lock. I've tried many guides but I've not succeded to repair. Please, help me! Thanks.

P.S. I'm using Linux for fastboot and other tools.

Hi !

I have the same problem, beside all that my phone is in bootloop i cannot install any custom recovery, what ever custom recovery i flash i get hab check failed or partition mismatch and then i end up with the stuck recovery (i know i should not reboot right after the flash and i go to recovery mode but the moment i boot up i see the old recovery)

I am not sure what is wrong but i guess there should be something wrong with my partitions. the only rom that gets flashed with no errors (but still gets stuck in the bootloop) is XT1032_FALCON_RETFR_5.1_LPB23.13-56_cid7_CFC

I managed to see my files via the command fastboot boot recovery recovery.img but then i only have read access, If only i had write access i could upload some files to my phone and get it working with updating from SD card .

any help is appreciated

Thank you for your reply. Is nt that exactly what i did ? i mean i looked at the files . there ate generally two types of files. some are XML which i need to use fast boot. the other one is a zip file with several folders in it which i dont know how to flash. do you mean there is my answer?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexandrino:
Inside the factory firmware file you should find several files (.img,. bin, etc.) inside the zip which you should flash following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542219. Just remember to not downgrade (or just flash a Lollipop image)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarch15:
I have followed the guide but maybe here is actually my problem

there are two kinds of ROMS to my knowledge. one has several files in it boot.img recovery.img chucnks etc... and there are no folders in the ROM file it is usually called XML

second type is a zip file like this one http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=14940 if you exract it there is a file named boot.img and two folders META-INF and System.

in the system there are numerous files but there is nothing to flash. the only way i know is flashing via fastboot. i dont know how flash these zip files.

one more point is that i dont have a custom recovery ( and i cannot install one since it does not show up after each reboot for an unknown reason)

from what i read people upload these second type zip files to their phone and then install it with their custom recovery software, but i dont have that luxury! :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexandrino:
I have just noticed that we have been discussing your problem in two different threads (I thought they were from different people).

So you have already tried using fastboot to flash all those bin and img files and it still does not work? What error are you getting while trying to perform those commands?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarch15:
yes i guess. we can continue here, and thanks.

For anyfirmware i get hab check failed and partition mismatched errors

for recoveries i get mismatched partition error

they said you should ignore them but i am not sure if i should!

the only firmware which flashes flawlessly is XT1032_FALCON_RETFR_5.1_LPB23.13-56_cid7_CFC.xml by works i mean it just does not come up with any errors and it flashes but still the bootloader loops.

by the way, is there anyway i could upload some images to the device ? i cannot side load adb cause it comes with verification error in the middle of upload for anything i tried.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rds89:
Thank you everyone for the replies. Some months ago I converted my Moto G to GPE as reported in this guide. When I tried to do it again (with the purpose of resetting the device) I got the issue descripted in my first post. But I was doing the all procedure using Ubuntu: I opened the batch file, written in Windows Batch Language, and I executed all the commands through the bash. Maybe, that's the thing that has made the phone not starting anymore. In my last try I've followed the procedure using Windows and now everything is ok.

Hate to break it to you but it looks like the unlocked phone is associated with the original motherboard/logic board.

All of the telephone components are affixed to that board. (EFS data, IMEI etc)

You're going to have to unlock this new board as well.

My WIFI internet speed test results:

Laptop (i5 4GB ram running Win7, Chrome ) - 1.08 mbps download

ZF2 (2.3GHz and 4GB ram, Chrome ) -1.3 mbps download

Even though the speedtest numbers are similar, my laptop is markedly faster in loading websites and streaming videos, especially when using multiple tabs. Actually i find streaming html5 videos relatively slow on my phone especially the initial buffer period.

For example, my laptop will start playing a video as soon as i click on it, while a similar video will take at least 40 seconds to start playing on my phone. Worst still, if i seek a different time stamp, it will buffer again wasting my time and annoy the heck out of me.:mad::mad::mad: Streaming HD videos, naturally is out of the question.
