[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I don't see a Samsung as a viable replacement unless there are policy changes (transatlantic LTE, standardized hardware without different CPU depending on market, no Knox 0x1 warranty void, no root secure kernels, less TouchWiz, cooperation with developers so AOSP/CM based ROMs is stable without loosing features).

If those things change, I would consider a Samsung "Note 7" if there would be a 7 inch version of the Note 6 provided expandable storage is provided.

Huawei is on the right track with their MediaPad M2 and X2 paired with the P8Max. A MediaPad M3, X3 and P9Max next year could be an interesting alternative but they have to fix their updates and developer friendliness.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dimex:
I've been looking at the LeTV Le Max. 6.33" with some incredible specs. Unfortunately, bands don't seem to allow LTE on any US carrier, but considering I have Cricket and get throttled to 8 Mbps, I could probably make do with 3G.

The size is quite a bit smaller than the ZU. They're coming out with a 2nd gen model soon that's supposedly rocking 6GB RAM.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
I have recently kept an eye on the Galaxy S6 Plus Edge, but I like to tinker with my gadgets, and just thinking about the root situation (due to Knox), the Exynos which lacks a lot of public documentation, Touchwiz, battery quality and future updates... makes me keep my wallet shut. I can't say I would buy any current phone on the marked now, and buying a device with the S810 would be a huge mistake, and buying an Exynos-device for tinkering would be an even bigger mistake, so waiting for a device with the S820 is the smarter thing to do, I guess.

I just hope OEMs push out something interesting in 2016, like a Z6 Ultra, but that wouldn't make sense money wise. I'm willing to downsize and I would be content with 5.7 inches or even 5.5, but the current Z5 lineup just doesn't do it for me. So let's hope 2016 brings new and interesting stuff. 2015 has been a big "Meh...".
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] manigma:
Just read on gsmarena that Samsung Galaxy S7 will have a Plus version too with 6" screen. Maybe this would be my next device if nothing comes from Sony. I like stock roms and would prefer just to have root on it. I had Note 1 before ZU.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
Good luck rooting a Samsung device in 2015/2016! Everything changed after they implemented Knox. Guess you can use systemless root, bit I'm not sure how well that works compared to proper root.

Edit: BTW, I still have my Galaxy Note. You should see its screen now. AMOLED ages extremely bad, and it looks completely crappy. My old Desire HD with a bad LCD panel looks better.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] doctahjeph:
if you absolutely have to replace your ZU then I would recommend the Nexus 6. While the screen size is still smaller than the ZU it is just as big as all the other alternatives. Plus it is a Nexus device so you don't have to worry about being locked down. You can find them for around $250-$300 range now too. I went to the Nexus 6 about 6 months about and other than the screen size being a bit smaller I like it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MXR2:
my ZU has been sluggish as of late ;X
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] speculatrix:
I don't know if the C5 Ultra is really any more powerful than the Z Ultra.

I'm still hoping for a successor for my Z Ultra, but it still handles nearly everything I throw at it, sadly its battery is showing signs of its age and doesn't last as long as it should.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
And no way to change it (except paying sony service for it)...

Sent using XT1562 - stock 5.1.1
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
But the Nexus 6 is a brick. The Ultra is at least very thin, which makes it easier to slide down my pocket, but the Nexus 6 isn't just huge, it's also thick as a brick. It's probably a good or great device overall, but it's designed as a phone, and then just... made bigger.

Do a factory reset/wipe (like formatting a computer). If you haven't done that in the last 6 months, then there's your answer. All software gets a little funky after a while. It's not hardware though, since mine's still flying (running stock).

The C5 is a mid-range device, which the MediaTek SoC reveals. You can pretty much forget custom ROMs or whatever on it since MediaTek doesn't publicly release documentation for their SoCs, like Samsung's Exynos SoC. Qualcomm is what you'll have to stick with if you want to modify your device beyond the Play Store stuff (icons, launchers etc.)

Just wait until March or whatever when the new high-end stuff (S820) starts getting released.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] doctahjeph:
I have no problem holding or sliding my Nexus in my pocket. I don't think you have ever held one really.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
Well, good for you, but the Nexus 6 is 10.1 mm thick, which is 1 cm. Remember the Nexus S from 2010? Yeah, same thickness. Thickness ain't everything though, but coupled with the size of that thing, it gets huge rather quickly. The Ultra is 0.6 cm, FYI. I could personally not live with something that massive, but if you and other Nexus 6 owners like it, great!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] doctahjeph:
And the thinness of the Ultra killed it in other specs like the camera, but if you and other Ultra owners don't care about things like that, great!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
Indeed. Can't get everything :silly: I wish Sony would make a new Ultra, but that won't happen. It's too niche and high-risk for them right now, so I'm guessing that we won't get a new one this year either. Pure speculation of course, but something would've leaked by now.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
My hope for now is a Z6 Tablet Compact, which I think is the most probable product as a replacement for the Ultra as well as replacing the Z3 TC. I would even suspect a launch alongside with the Z6 Tablet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Pannam:
I damaged my ultra an year ago. Then went on to various devices like lg g3,note 4, note 5, iphone 6 plus but i was never satisfied. Luckily i got hold of a broken ultra and now with two damaged devices i took out the useful parts and fixed one. So basically it looks like a zebra now with parts from black and white uktra. Unluckily i tore the microphone apart .

I then turned it on but wouldn't, still with little hopes i put it on charge and slept and it woke me up with its beautiful boot screen. Since then i am using it and it feels way too smooth than any other device primarily because the manufacturers rushed into quad hd screen without a capable processor. I love everything about the ultra and i will keep it forever. The best phone i ever had.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] loudog3114:
I totally agree. I got the ZU after liking the size of the nexus 6 and lumia 1520. I have since moved on to a Z5 premium as my carry-around device, but I think its too small. I put my ZU up for sale on swappa and decided to take the post down, its just too good! I use it at work now and when I travel as a tablet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MrWhiteRD:
Yea I like Kitkat than Lollipop. I made the upgrade to 5.0 Lollipop icons on ultra look like a child made it. It removed the crisp HD feel on the screen. I haven't looked at putting back my ZU to 4.4.4 yet I'm afraid to brake it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] esmaddy87:
on my 3rd ultra now (one was dead, one was sold coz i'm broke at that time), and then convince my 3 other friend to join me using ultra...

even two of them already had iphone 6+ and note 4...

the experience while using ultra felt more superb than their other phone as they said...

as for me, i'm still hoping z ultra will have a successor to continue the legacy of superb device i've owned so far...

p/s: sorry for my bad english...

I was wondering, is there a way to view EVERY single wi-fi connection made to an android device? Even if its not listed in the known connections or previous connections made list? If so, how would I go about viewing this? I figure that there has to be a way to view it, in the logs, cache, or something. Any advise would be most appreciated, thank you for sharing your phone smarts in advance!! :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eptanisioz:
Hello everyone, i recently installed BlissPop ROM on my D-802.

I was wondering:

1) Can i remove the "Get now cards" ?

2) Can i use smaller icons like the others on bottom tray ?

Image URL: s21.postimg.org/anycthrp3/Screenshot_2015_10_29_11_44_34.png
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eptanisioz:
Futhermore, were could i find stock apps like Dialer and Contacts ? Most of them listed on "G2 THEMES AND APPS" have broken links.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spoertm:
Hi,

1. I'm assuming that's a widget, if so, you can just long-press it and throw it to the "Remove" / "Delete" option that pops up.

2. If you're using Nova launcher, witch I guess you're using, you can go to Nova settings--> Desktop--> Icon layout and from there you can adjust the size of the icons in the desktop.

Edit: Oh and about the stock apps, here's a link to some stock lollipop apps :)

http://www.idroidspace.com/download-android-5-lollipop-stock-apps/

Nearly all the stock lollipop apps are there, however if you want the messenger app then just search for it at the play store, Google already published it there.

But if you meant stock LG apps, then I don't believe there is a way to use stock LG apps in an Aosp ROM such as Cyanogenmod/blisspop/AICP etc...

Have fun!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eptanisioz:
Thank for your reply!

1) This is not a widget. That's why i am asking if there any way to remove it.

2) I am using the launcher which come with BlissPop ROM. Should i use Nova instead ?

I was searching for stock LG Contacts and Dialer apps because i prefer them than Google's.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danek731:
I prefer LG apps over the stock as well, but sadly, I did not manage to make them work in the BlissPop ROM.

And I recommend you to use a different launcher, as he said, Nova would suffice. But I personally preffer Apex Launcher, it just fits my style a bit more. Any of these two should be able to handle your situation anyway.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spoertm:
Yes, use Nova or Apex or whatever launcher you want, I prefer Nova. I've used so many launcher in the past but nothing could beat Nova IMO.

Even though I'm recommending Nova, witch will, by using it, remove that ugly "Get now cards" thingy, I'm gonna have to ask you to tell me what happens when you long press that thing? Does it say anything? Does it let you view "app info" or let you know what app that is?

And for the stock apps, I searched and tried some but none worked (as expected). That's why some people choose to stay with stock systems because of these apps. Personally I've gotten over that ;D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eptanisioz:
Purchased Nova Prime few minutes ago :)

Is there any way to install LG stock widgets like flashlight and RAM cleaner ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danek731:
You can set up task manager in your status bar, it should be in the blisspop settings, under status bar OR under the quick settings menu.

It will add a buttom for the task manager to your quick settings, see for yourself
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eptanisioz:
A screenshot or something ? I can not find this option :/
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danek731:
Sure, Settings - Bliss interface - Notification drawer - Task manager.

When you turn that on, an icon will appear in your quicksettings (when you slide down notification bar completely, it will be next to the settings shortcut and battery shortcut).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eptanisioz:
You are awesome man! Thank you very much! :)

Hi I have a phone with the same model but in what way I want to see if I can help change my serial
[XDA Assist] einwaliser:
First of all, I'd like to say that I know very little about how Android, electronics or mobile phones work in general, so everything I've done has been from internet tutorials. Please don't use any jargon as I probably won't know what you mean. ELI5.

A few days ago, I tried to root my phone and it didn't work. As a result the phone went into a boot loop and I didn't know how to fix it. The long and short of it was that I ended up flashing the stock firmware onto my phone and basically doing a complete factory reset. After some time trying this I managed to get the phone to start up and I was able to access the interface and all that. Unfortunately, my WiFi wasn't working (the button would simply turn off whenever I turned it on) so I had no way to download the most recent updates or apps or anything like that. After following several tutorials on how to fix this, such as flashing the modems and bootloader, I still wasn't having any luck. So I tried something that proved to cause even more problems - I tried to install a new kernel. Now my phone won't even boot past the logo. I probably didn't install the right one, but what can I say, it's not very clear which one I need.

Now I'd like to point out that as a layman who just wants his phone to work again, half of the time I don't understand what I'm doing or whether or not I'm doing it right. In other words, I realise that I've probably messed up my phone, but what can I do? I can't take it to a technician because I don't have the money for that, I can't buy a new phone for the same reason and I can't phone up and ask for a replacement because the warranty expired ages ago and I don't have the original documents here.

I've installed the Team Win Recovery Project on my phone and I have Odin installed on my PC as well.

TLDR; yes, I know I'm an idiot and I don't appreciate you telling me. I'd like to reset my phone to how it was before - the normal firmware, the normal kernel and all that, but I'd still like to have root access and keep the TWRP recovery mode too.

Model: Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505

Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE

Country: UK

Version: Android 5.0.1

You'll probably need more information, so if you do just let me know and, if possible, where I can find it.
[XDA Assist] einwaliser:
I have some good news. I managed to flash the firmware again and now I can access the phone again. However, the WiFi problem persists. I've tried looking on the internet for a solution, but I can't find one. I've tried flashing the modem and all that stuff, but it still doesn't work.

Oh, and by the way, I no longer have TWRP and I don't think I have root access anymore either (I had to do a data partition wipe as well).
[XDA Assist] einwaliser:
I'd really appreciate a reply from someone. I've tried everything, but to no avail.
[XDA Assist] engloa:

[Honor 7 General] wormix500:
Hi everybody.

Probably this is useful for some of you. I just decided this month to buy an Honor 7. I ordered it on Oct 16 on the vMall website and received it on Oct 20 delivered to my place in Germany, so much quicker than I expected after reading about several delays and seeing a lot of online shops out of stock.

Before getting to this point of ordering it, I made a lot of thoughts and compared different devices. I have put those into the following list to get an overview. Since I received my new device two more devices were announced which I would have taken into account, whereby I don't expect that those would have changed my decision - these are the OnePlus X and the Honor 5X, which are from my perspective direct competitors of the Wileyfox Storm, which are all more mid-class then high-class devices. In mid-class range probably the Wileyfox would be my first choice. The HTC A9 is also interesting, but considering it's price and the super weak battery, I would not even create a column for that device.

https://goo.gl/uzqEa8

Devices included:

Nexus 5X

Nexus 6P

Wileyfox Storm

OnePlus 2

Honor 7

LG G4

Motorola X Play

After using my Honor 7 for roughly a week now, I am absolutely satisfied. Till now I still use it without the Nova Launcher, which means that I use the EMUI interface which has no app drawer. Something I still need to get used to especially as I fear to lose overview at a certain point, but I give it a chance first. Apart of that I'm pretty happy, the SmartKey is from my perspective more beneficial than I expected it to be and the fingerprint gestures are a nice gimmick, which makes using the device a little bit more comfortable.

Apart of that I've also faced some minor issues on the OS, but I already read before that there are some minor issues open and I hope that Honor (or rather Huawei) will fix them at some point, e.g. for several whatsapp messages I get several notifications instead of just one merged saying that I have X new messages. Anyway, all are just minor and for now I didn't face anything which would make me revoke my decision.

Hope this little support thread helps some of you in taking the best decision for yourself ;)

If you got any questions on this overview or on the devices and why I decided for the Honor 7 and not any other, let me know.
[Honor 7 General] maxens63:
I don't know if it will help, because most of people have the honor7 when they come on the honor thread. But it's kind of you to see how you managed to buy this phone:D:)

Cheers

Rob.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Twiggerdingo:
Must be possible, but i know no easy way. Since you can use voicecommand for starting apps (shortcuts in the start menu) you need shortcuts for each profile.

I use AEButton, In here you can map hardware buttons for al lot of things, such as vibrate, bT on/off, wifi on/off etc.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] MaskedMarauder:
You can set the ringer volume etc. using Microsoft Voice Command.

Waiting for more premium cases to be released I just bought this for £6 on Amazon as a stop gap.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] happyslayeruk:
It's not a perfect case as it is a bit heavy but it is good value, as I said in the review I bought it as something to last me until more premium cases are released. It is well worth the £6.
