So I got that Evocel case and it's pretty great! Not quite the same quality as an Commuter series Otterbox, the rubber is a little less soft, the plastic a little cheaper and less flexible, but for $10 that's little to complain about. The buttons are slightly harder to press than without a case, but I prefer it.

The back plastic is mostly matte and doesn't show fingerprints very well. To me it's pretty grippy, but it's flat and not textured like an Otterbox case. Overall, I'd say it's worth $10 for sure!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Do you by chance have any holsters to see if it fits into them? Thanks for getting back, I was holding off on buying one, now I think I may.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] BillyTheRatKing:
Nah, I don't have a holster. Best of luck on that front!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] zikronix:
I have a case similar to the evocell. its decent. I decided to pick up the unicorn beetle heavy duty. Thats what we use at work for our iphone 6 and we dont have any bend problems with them. Im not saying it cant happen. My only complaint is the plastic screen protector with them. they become scratched and usually have to be ripped out and replaced with a glass or vinyl one. I got the black one because Im cheap, but i was really digging the white one they have on amazon.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gd6noob:
I would recommend the Nexus 6P Unicorn Beetle Pro Full Body Rugged, if you can find the old design.. the new one i find it ugly...

This is the new design,

This is the old design

Old design shows more of the screen but there was some flaws with it, the built-in screen protector was poorly done. It can be fixed by removing it and using a separate screen protector, I have a TGSP and its nice.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] zikronix:
the new designed one doesnt bother me. just ads that much more protection. The iphone ones are the same so im not sure why they made the 6p different

I have the Facebook app installed and I see the account on the account and sync section. The contacts box is checked. I have the upload contacts option selected in the Facebook app. Nothing I do will ever get the Facebook data to populate in the LG contacts app. Everything is stock. Has anyone else had this issue? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Florencex:
Get the version 27 apk

Yes, had this issue. Go to your settings and make sure you have allowed installations of apps from unknown sources. Then find and download an apk of facebook version 27. Install it, go into the app settings and sync your contacts. After they've synced, allow the app to update as normal. You should be all set.

hello I open this topic because I have noticed something curious.

When you get the sunlight to the screen (I realized watching something on a white background) is seen on the right side of this one species of lines (dare I say it even seems as if a scripture) seems as if stain. The funny thing that only happens to sunlight because then they do not give you that light does not appreciate that.

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] cucolino:
Hi all.

I'm after quite specific need but would like to know more general answer / solution if possible at all.

I know that wihtout being rooted there's not much one can do with system folders, but still, there are some ways and tricks to get to them, one of them being Backup option provided by android, using ADB shell.

I'm after specific file, that is /data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs/com.android.mms.categoryInfo.xml

Using Htc One M8, stock rom, I've tried to do adb backup of com.android.mms application, but all I got was 1kb (actually 41 bytes) sized file, which contains nothing.

I wonder, is there any other way to get to the specific system app folder, if you're NOT rooted?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Additional info: I'm after that file because it has stored Secure message box password in Plain text. My phone is about to go to the service due to several issues, including battery getting way overheated when used, and not charging over 25% at all, and the only thing left to make a backup is the secure box storage, which I used as an "Other inbox" folder in order to have the main Inbox a bit more "clean", and I know I've set it to something stupid and short, and I've accessed them not long ago, but for the f's sake I can't get in the folder anymore (and I'm highly betting that after several attempts even the real password is no longer accepted, and that being the reason I can't figure out the pass by trying, but there's nowhere info it thats true, and if so, how long to wait before real one would be accepted etc...)

Big thanks if anyone could help out, if not - not gonna be the end of the world. But would kinda like to store some of the messages that are newer than my latest backup...

Cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] xdedeone:
Yes and not.

if you don't have root access, you can not copy an application from the system folder, to make this the ADB would need root permissions. but....

You can download the stock rom, and copy/extract/edit the app you need it.
[General Questions and Answers] cucolino:
Actually no, if the file is user specific, as in my case, the help of stock rom's file is not gonna help.

Anyway, SOLVED now.

As per this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2054401

The backup of the app was made and got the file. I've done the same thing without success, because on HTC, the messaging app is com.htc.sense.mms and NOT com.android.mms.

Therefore creating backup of the com.htc.sense.mms did result kin getting exactly what I needed.

In the extraction of the tar .ab archive using dd in linux, I got folder app, within there is a folder com.htc.sense.mms, wihtin there's a folder sp, and there is com.htc.sense.mms.categoryInfo.xml which has the secure box password stored in plaintext. :)

Voila! :))
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricvai7:
im using cm12 archidroid 3.5.14 and decided to update to 3.5.15 version last night. but the update didnt went well, something went wrong and i got 'recursive' error, and it started to boot loops.

i tried so many solutions, i odin this and that and nothing worked. i downloaded cwm 6.0.0.47 i think, and managed to install the AD rom, but now im stuck at languange selection, i cant select anything because screen support isnt working

what do i do now?

Samsung S3 i9300
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawaiihemd:
You did "odin this and that"? That's never a good idea. Just saying...

I would try to flash latest AD again but with a proper up-to-date recovery e.g. latest TWRP after making a nandroid backup.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricvai7:
thanks for the reply Hawaiihemd

i downloaded the stock firmware of i9300 and odin that .tar.md5. Now it just stuck at samsung logo

how do i do that? where do i get latest uptodate recovery? at least point me to right directions thanks so much
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawaiihemd:
Well then, if you already flashed stock rom via odin, your data is already gone. Make sure your phone is working on stock first now. Please be aware that the first boot after each rom flash might take up to 15 min or so because the cache has to be built at first boot!

You can find the link to TWRP recovery in my signature (see My Gadgets). I suggest your read the tutorials that are linked there also for more information.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricvai7:
thanks again, glad to hear there's still hope. i will do as you advised.

So, in order to get stock firmware flashed and running, can i use twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar from your signature?

1st i odin the twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar, and then reboot into download mode, and odin firmware stock?

in that order? i havent done this in a long time, i've been using AD for so long without any problem, i dont really exactly remember how. i just concern about the touch screen not functioning, i really hope no hardware failures. i never experience anything like this, even in recovery mode, the touch screen doesnt work, i had to flash entire process using up/down and power button

right now i havent done anything since the last attempt ( flashed stock rom, and stuck at samsung logo )

currently., im charging the battery, will try get it up and running after the battery is full

thanks mate

Update-

Holding Vol up + Vol Down + Power when off and then releasing power when you see the Lenovo logo will bring up a diagnostic checklist where you can test the hardware functionality.

Holding Vol Down + Power when off and then releasing power when you see the Lenovo logo I think goes to the bootloader, like below, but nothing indicates that this is what is happening.

Holding Vol up + Power when off and then releasing power when you see the Lenovo logo will bring up recovery. Recovery has the following options-

*Reboot system now

*Apply update from ADB

*Wipe data/factory reset

*Wipe Cache partition

*Reboot to Bootloader

*Power down

*View Recovery Logs

*Apply update from sdcard

Rebooting to bootloader caused the Lenovo logo screen to stay on. I assume that either this screen allows fastboot or that the bootloader is locked or hidden in some way? The driver that's installed when you plug it in here is the Alcatel ADB Interface driver. However, "adb devices" does not list the YT. Using the "Apply update from ADB option in recovery allows for it to be seen on the computer, but in "sideload" mode. Not sure where to go from there.

Original post-

While there are several posts for the Yoga Tab 3 Pro version, there has been no mention of this one yet. I picked up this 8" version in Best Buy this week and have been very impressed by the build quality of such an inexpensive tablet.

While it does look and function very similarly to the pro version, these are two completely different machines spec-wise. The complete specs for the YT3 can be found on GSM Arena's page, but it has a Snapdragon 210 quad with a Adreno 304 graphics chip and 1gb of RAM. Haven't checked the battery life, but Lenovo claims close to 20 hours of use! We'll see about that...

The skinning of the YT3 is very minimal (they are using Tribuchet as the default launcher!) but the settings are tweaked a bit and fill two columns on the screen.

One of my main reasons for creating this thread is to see if any others have this tablet yet. The other is to start the process of rooting it. While I don't see this being actively developed for, it would be nice to have root for things like Titanium Backup and the ability to remove the bloatware on it.

When you plug it into the computer, there are two devices that pop up in Windows. One is the MTP storage like usual, but the other is a virtual CDROM drive with Lenovo Helper software, which includes drivers for the tab.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Glen L:
Kingroot doesn't work I've tried.

Anyways its a great tablet.

I replaced my Samsung note 10.1 2014 with lenovo yoga tab 3 8"

I know its not an upgrade but I feel that this tablet suits my need more

I basically use this for watching movies and playing casual games like clash of clans.

Speed is okay doesn't really lag unlike my note 10.1 2014

Anypen works but theres no palm rejection

I found one problem so far. Can't seem to replace the trebuchet launcher.

After you restart the tab it sets trebuchet as the default launcher
[Thinkpad Tablet General] silentheero:
Huh, just noticed the launcher thing too. I thought it might because of system updates (mine has updated twice since I got it this week). Not cool. And since there is no root yet, you can't remove Trebuchet.

I figured there would be no palm rejection. That is a feature that they would tout loudly if it had it.

Are you able to get fastboot commands to give you anything besides errors?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] redegan82:
lenovo tab 3 pro

Hi Does anybody know when the lenovo tab 3 pro is getting released in the UK I just sold my iPad air 2 so can get it and cant bloody wait for itlol
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Glen L:
I solved my launcher problem....

I read that you have to wipe cache and dalvik, but since we're not rooted. I did a reset factory.

That way it cleared everything and now I can change the launchers...

Palm rejection im hoping that there's a software for it... for note taking

I dont know how to do fastboot commands
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Bluemgt06:
I have the Tab 3 10 inch version and I get days in battery life. I have not charged the tablet in over three days with moderate usage and I still have 51% battery and it estimates another 3 days of usage. I would like to see rooting and custom kernels eventually to solve some of the lag that the tablet does have. The memory management is a little over working, for example if I switch from Facebook to Skype it closes Facebook, I guess that's assuming that it does not have enough memory to keep it running in the background even though I open task manager and it's not using over half of its memory. I don't believe that this tablet will ever get palm rejection because the any pen feature that it has is just a souped-up digitizer that is more sensitive two inputs. There is no actual stylus detection on this as there is in the Samsung Galaxy Note series devices. It does not know the difference between your finger and using an ink pen or another stylus. My main complaint in which I will be exchanging the device for a new one is my hinge is loose on the camera side and wobbles.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] silentheero:
Cool! Great find, thanks for sharing. Of course I have everything set up now...

I agree the battery life is insane. I have been reading comics on it for 4 hours of screen time and it still says I have a day and a half left at the current drain. Very happy to see that as this is replacing an ereader.

I noticed the aggressive task management too. It only has 1gb or RAM, but that shouldn't mean it clears out cache that quickly.

Rooting is priority one. I am not sure how to start that part, but drivers are first, and I don't think the ones that Lenovo includes with it allow for fastboot access.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Bluemgt06:
I don't know that there was a pro model out and I'm thinking of going with that one since it has more power and a built in projector.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mustardPersona:
Hey there. I posted something in another Tab 3 thread, but I think it was more for the Tab 3 Pro. It's a bit confusing right now cause there seems to be a lot of different SKUs for the same product name. Mine is the Lenovo Tab 3 10 - model YT3-X50F.

Anyway, I was able to get it into fastboot without any issues using the Lenovo drivers. The system I am using is pretty clean, so I don't think it would have come from another package I've used in the past. I think the next step is to build a TWRP recovery for our tab.

Here's what I wrote in the other thread:
[Thinkpad Tablet General] silentheero:
Great job Mustard, I never thought they would put a toggle in the settings for it. No other device I have owned had that.

As for SKUs, I am not sure why they did that either. I think the 8" and 10" versions run on the same hardware, but the pro version uses something completely different. My model number is YT3-850F.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
actually it's not that hard:

Yoga Tab 3 - 8" (YT3-850F) -> the cheap model of the 3 series, runs a Qualcomm cpu (ARM), pricetag 170$

Yoga Tab 3 - 10" (YT3-X50F) -> still on a budgetside, also with a Qualcomm cpu

Yoga Tab 3 Pro - 10" (YT3-X90F) -> the (more)expensive one, runs a Atom cpu (x86), pricetag 500$

F is the wifi only variant (L adds 4G but the price goes up too)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mustardPersona:
I would have thought they would remove the "Allow OEM unlocking" toggle. It was new with Lollipop - most devices I know don't make it that easy. :p

I found this link while trying to look up your model number. It suggests that we share the same radios (at least as far as Bluetooth SIG is concerned). And I could be wrong, but I think since the SoC has the radios built in, our boards would then be identical to develop on.

I can't post links yet, but Google "bluetooth sig D026975" and it'll pop right up.

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

True, but any vendor round these parts (US) doesn't list it by the OEM model number - just the marketing monikers. I found out only AFTER buying mine - which made it a bit frustrating when looking up exact specs. For example, the Lenovo site doesn't note the F or L variants - they just talk about the Snapdragon 212 in generalities. But as I now know, the F variant doesn't have LTE - despite it sharing the same SoC as the L.

So at least on my SKU (YT3-X50F TAB 16GBL-US-BBY), it is disabled by Lenovo.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] silentheero:
The Official Bluetooth SIG Member Site- D026975 Yep. That's the one. And there is a slight bump in the processor for the 10" one- from 1.1GHz to 1.3GHz- but that is probably because they clocked the chip in the 10" higher.

According to that too there is a M variant (YT3-850M).
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
not disabled... missing

your model (WiFi only) has a different antenna (with a single lobe) and also your mainboard is missing the sim electronics (they have different part numbers for different variants F/L/M)

so it's not like you can send a command and enable LTE or call on a F tab (YT3-X50 hw manual)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mustardPersona:
I've read that manual before and still reach the same conclusion. I'm not sure why you're arguing a point - not just once, but twice now. My opinion of the different SKUs and the "locking" of the SoC is not related to the task at hand. The focus should be on development.

They definitely do have a different antenna and the lack of a SIM tray can be problematic, but we both already knew that. What we don't know is how the components differ on the board-level. We do know there are different SKUs. Different board part numbers too. We do know that they share the same SoC, which is very helpful from a development standpoint... as well as confirming that there is an LTE radio on-chip. That's really all I said.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
disabled functionality is one thing, missing components required for a function is another. if you were to say: "at least on my SKU (YT3-X50F TAB 16GBL-US-BBY), i don't have all the required parts"

YT3 have three base models the two cheap ones and the pro one and they don't all share the same SoC (and the 10" pro is twice the price of the one you have)

fastboot enable LTE

it's not arguing, it's just asserting
[Thinkpad Tablet General] nmonty:
might be possible to cwm

ok i've just got this tablet today and am quite pleased with it. I'm currently looking at creating cwm for as I can't find a way of rooting it also but I think it can be rooted using the super su update zip file this might take a while due to work so theres no guarantee I can do it though. can but try
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ElrosMinyatur:
Kingroot just worked for me and I now have root access. Yt3-850f is my model. I need a custom recovery so I can install xposed.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Glen L:
do you still get updates after rooting?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mustardPersona:
Cool, that's good to know that Kingroot worked. I wouldn't use it personally due to some questionable security things, but since it works, that means there should be a way to gain root without the proprietary software.

A few days ago, I tried the recovery from the Tab 2 for kicks. It did not boot. I have been looking into guides on how to build TWRP from source, but I'm stuck for the time being.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bvjones59:
I am a total rank newbie at all of this... Have the YT3-X50F which I have factory reset. I've downloaded several zipped folders to my pc, including this one. These two show the most promise:

Lenovo-YT3-850F-update from the lenovo site

YT3-X50F_S017_151023_ROW_QFIL.rar from the link above

But I cannot figure out what to DO with them. The directions here are (sadly) so much mumbo jumbo, might as well be from aliens! Okay, not quite that bad but close, lol. I am not a developer, just an ordinary user who happened upon this lovely tablet but really REALLY cannot use it with the chinese stuff on there.

Neo0, I appear to be having trouble even downloading the YT3-X50F_S017_151023_ROW_QFIL.rar file from your site. It acted like it was downloading for 30 minutes but when done, I cannot find it on my computer or in my Chrome browser's downloads list. Vanished. If I manage to get it onto my computer, what do I do to make it work on the tablet?

I have not rooted the tablet. Do I have to, to proceed? If so, I have been unable to find instructions that I feel 100% sure would work for this particular tablet. All I really want is to be able to have Google Apps and add my Gmail account. Nothing else fancy. Would one of these two files accomplish that? The Lenovo one seems to have the google apps in it, if I could figure out how to get them running on the tablet. Another poster said that the Lenovo Smart Assistant did not work for him on the YT3-X50F, which may be how that file would work.

If one of the previous threads in this or another forum DO clearly line out what I should do, PLEASE link for me. As is, I'm very hesitant as this particular android tablet seems pretty resistant to rooting and modifying and if I brick the thing, I'm pretty sure I'll never get a second go. I need instructions like this:

Put thus-and-so-file on an SD card and insert into tablet.

Press power + volume up as computer powers on. Release power when Lenovo splash appears.

Select option ____ to unzip and run the file on the SD card.

If anything is left out or assumed I should know, I will be stuck. Can anybody help?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] zigonneux:
What I've learned in this thread : . Those firmware image do not contain a Gapp : access to google play.

I've been wrong before with this device, but i'm learning... : in fact all you need is to flash a Gapps ; http://opengapps.org/# choose 5.1 nano or pico. download...

what i would try ( it won't brick your device) install Kingroot, and read how to root your device : http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461

then download flashify.apk at http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/christ...-release/flashify-1-9-2-android-apk-download/ , install it., give it root access.To install an APK file , just click on it.

With the flashify app, flash the open_gapp.zip , reboot and it should work, google play and some other google apps will be there.

It won't break your device to do this but it will remain rooted with kingroot, until you flash a compatible TWRP to unroot it. But kingroot is a nice app anyway.
