Hey all...

I'm actually using a Galaxy Note 4 in my private time... Now I'm looking for an atleast 7" Tablet (Phablet, what ever) for working business... As I'm not up to date what devices are on the market right now i thought i could ask for help here. I thought about something like the Sony Xperia Z Ultra if i remember right...

The device should at least meet the following speccs:

LTE

~7" Screen

1.5+gb ram

root has to be possible

Android 5+

U got to use it as a phone without using a headset (yeah i know it might look funny to hold an 7" tablet on ur ears :D)

As for the hardware speccs anything like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T715 LTE would be nice. But this 8" seems to be a bit unhandy.

I appologize for my bad english and hope for some nice ideas on what to buy :)

Thnx in advance

Hi guys,

ever since my provider changed the stock Chinese ROM to an English ROM my Wizard's WiFi is dead. Unfortunately the provider is not willing to help but refer me to HTC.

Anyway, it seems I am sharing this problem with a significant amount of Hermes users. Luckily for the Hermes users, Drummer presented a solution:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=322225

My question would be twofold:

1. any other Wizard user having same problem with a dead WiFi?

2. any chance to adapt the solution given for the Hermes to Wizard (and how)?

Basically I understand what needs to be done (i.e. to "repair" a corrupted MAC address), but how can I identify the right location of the MAC address in the Wizard?

Cheers!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Huckleberry88:
Interesting ... so none of the current "active" Wizard users on this forum faces this problem except for me (... and 3 other colleagues of mine).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ipaqkiller:
Hmmm....

I read that and it's above my skillset at the moment. I have the same problem but am not entirely sure it is due to this.

Mine will work sporadically for a while then quit.

Almost as if it's a hardware issue and if I take the battery away long enough, it will work for a while then quit.

But I'm baffled as well because when it works, it works well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Huckleberry88:
Ipaqkiller,

thanks for the reply. In my case I did not get the WIFI up and running at all ever.

It seems it is not worth the effort with the "repairing" of the MAC address if so few have this problem (my colleagues don't bother about the missing WIFI as they just use the WIZARD as a ordinary mobile).

Best shot is to convince HTC to restore the EEPROM data (as my provider rejects to help) ...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Huckleberry88:
Any ideas?

I received a new HTC Touch from my Chinese carrier - guess what's the problem with it .... yes, also no WLAN feature, even the comm manager does not offer the button for WLAN ...

I learnt from a mobile shop that normally my Chinese carrier deactivates/ does not offer any mobile with WLAN ... so my problem seems not a bad ROM update corrupting the MAC address but rather a business model of my carrier .. don't know though whether it is based on software settings or that there is even a hardware component missing ...

(1) Can anyone confirm that they have same experience with their Chinese carrier de-activating the WLAN feature in the mobiles?

(2) How can I tell whether the WLAN module (hardware) is there (without phisically opening the Wizard) and could be re-activated via software?

(As said, I already uploaded the Wizard with different ROMs (incl. changes of IPL/SPL, radio rom etc.) but never got WLAN working ..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sheras:

I wanna know if would be any problem flashing a single sim rom over a dual sim z3, I mean, if it boot correctly and if one sim is detected ? thanks
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doresreturns:
Unless the rom developer released the dual patch along with the rom, you can't. It will boot correctly but with no sim card detected. Not even one sim. I had D6633 before.

If you use only one sim, take D6603/6653 to avoid the mess. (I assume you don't have the device, if not, i'm sorry.)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meetkalamar:
Actually I'm planning to have a Z5 or Z5P, but i think Z3 forum is more active... :D Here in Brazil they are selling mostly the dual versions and the single ones are rare and mostly more expensive... :crying: And I know that dual phones have poor adoption by the developers... So I thought Z5 would be something like the Z3 so I decide asking here... Well, I'll have to buy a single one so...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doresreturns:
I like Z5P too but there is no rooting method without unlocking (at least for now). If you haven't used any xperia devices, you should go take a look with drm-key related stuff first because unlocking = your drm key disappear forever (and yeah, there's no way to backup them for now).

So many restriction for now. But it's just my opinion :D

If you like it, go for it. :cool:

Thanks of helping hahaha yeah I had a Z1 before I break the screen twice... My wife have a z3c, I just say: I love Sony phones.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emoti0n:
So I will be taking over a project here soon, to program both Tab 2s and Tab 4s to have specific settings. It's your basic stuff like, Name of device, Bluetooth on, WiFi Off, developer on, usb bugging on, etc...

There may be days where I have to do this to 40+ tablets. Is there a program / terminal out there, that I can just flash these settings to each tablet? I personally don't mind going through and doing them one by one. I'm more concerned that I might overlook a feature on one of the tablets that was supposed to turned on/off? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If it is built from source, then there must be a device tree that used to built this. And as you said that this is a ported rom, I think you don't have a device tree for this.

PREVIEW:

A little something I made because I was bored of the original boot animation.

* Tested on CM 12.1

* Not working on Fire OS 5.1.1 according to [MENTION=349532]gilly[/MENTION]bot36

Find it below in the attachments section.
[Fire Themes and Apps] BigMosley:
Does this remove the "Fire" animation or the initial "Amazon" that first pops up?
[Fire Themes and Apps] kenokech2:
Kernels Logo?

The gray Amazon logo at the start is associated with the Kernel and can only be replaced by modifying the kernel in some way. However the fire Logo which is located in the Fire's root accesible partion should indeed be replaced(CM 12.1)/ theoretically replaced(Fire OS 5).

BTW try the CM, it really makes this $50 tablet much faster.
[Fire Themes and Apps] BigMosley:
I'm currently on the SlimLP ROM and it is also night and day compared to the stock Amazon crap. Since I am a flashaholic I will try out CM 12.1 also.
[Fire Themes and Apps] BigMosley:
Did you make a Fallout 4/Vault boy boot animation? That would be awesome.

[Fire Themes and Apps] gillyboty36:
FireOS 5.1.1 through Flashfire is a no go. Just reboots as if nothing happened. Just a heads up if anyone was curious.
[Fire Themes and Apps] thehrushi:
Can this be applied to unrooted fire?
[Fire Themes and Apps] EncryptedCurse:
No. It requires you to modify the system partition, which obviously isn't possible without root access.
[Fire Themes and Apps] Deuces:
this works when flashed through twrp, but not through flashfire. Can you make it work thru flashfire? :D
[Fire Themes and Apps] gdroid666:
:crying:

how would you do it anyways? choose auto mount or no automount?

you use just flahfire then go to flash OTA select the zip then flash right

also does it matter if i have resurrection remix rom flashed?

there is an option in the setting about boot animations but it does nothing theme option does nothing i wonder if i flash these with FF will i get an option to switch boot animation in my settings under themes where it sasy change boot animation or if this is a broken feature in this rom

i want to try but im afraid i will break somethin cause i am not sure what i chose in flashfire automount or no automount, what exactly does automonunt do anyways? is it dangerous if you do not select the right option? can it get you stuck in a boot loop or a brick?

reported not working 5.1.1 bt is that just for fire OS or is that for 5.1.1. with a custom rom?

I've just installed CM12.1 on my Amazon Fire 5th gen and tried to flash this bootloader with FireFlash v0.51 and it didn't update the boot logo :(
[Fire Themes and Apps] Dunard:
From your cm12.1 folder. Paste it into the system\media\bootanimation.zip Reboot afterward.

Note: Make sure that you have the folder set to root first.
[Verizon LG V10] y2kardell:
Anybody know how to block unwanted numbers on this phone?

Thanks!!!
[Verizon LG V10] bjtcars:
I haven't been able to find the setting for it It was easy on my Note 4. I use CM Security and it has it built in so that works pretty well.
[Verizon LG V10] thedrizzle:
Unfortunately it's not built in like on some other devices. I do the same thing I did on the Nexus 6, which is create a contact called SPAM. Then in Contacts, you go to that contact's settings and there's an option for Send Calls to Voicemail, check that box. Then as unwanted calls come in, you just long-press them and add to that SPAM contact. Mine has a couple hundred numbers so far, and this works really well.
[Verizon LG V10] tymansdaddy:
On tmobile I just click phone app and hit the menu at the upper right for settings. Reject call list. Hope this helps.
[Verizon LG V10] y2kardell:
I guess it's different on the Verizon version because I don't see that option
[Verizon LG V10] drewcam888:
Block the number from your account on verizon's website.
[Verizon LG V10] OnceAMatrixMan:
A basic feature that every phone should have. Once again VZW deletes a useful feature (see LG G4), Why???!!!
[Verizon LG V10] SprManKalEl:
Why would they keep that feature on a device when they can charge you $5 a month for Family Base?
[Verizon LG V10] zalekbloom:
I was searching for the same problem and here is what I found:

"Find out how to block unwanted calls and messages. You can block up to 5 phone numbers for each line on your account with no charge with My Verizon".

Also:

"Permanently block up to 20 contacts for a low monthly fee. You'll also be able to monitor and limit minute, text and data usage for up to 10 devices on your account"

Cost: $5/month"

I saw some non-verizon apps for blocking phonecalls. Anyone tried it?

Thanks,

zb
[Verizon LG V10] SprManKalEl:
There is an option that you can send all calls to VM so I would say to create one contact and just keep adding the number you want blocked and select to send that contact's number to VM.
[Verizon LG V10] SaintlySins:
It sucks that Verizon eliminated the Block Caller from this phone!

I like the idea to make a Spam Contact and force it into V.M. every time - although I do get some telemarketing terrorists who will leave a message ... then I'm stuck going through them to eliminate the good V.M.'s from the bad.

I also use an App called TrueCaller. It's not perfect, but it's mostly effective. Carefully select the options you want and block any calls you like. I've allowed them to block calls their database has found to be spam/scam and it works quite well. At the end of a week, I'll surf through the calls they've blocked that I never saw hit my phone and it's impressive.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon LG V10] SprManKalEl:
You can create a contact then add the numbers that you want to block then use the 3 dots on the right and select send to VM.
[Verizon LG V10] WorldOfJohnboy:
I used Sync.me from the appstore. Not only does it sync your contacts, but you can also enable SPAM blocking and it has some pretty advanced caller ID as well. I have a HTC M9, but would think it works on the LG V10.
[Verizon LG V10] jmorton10:
I use Reverse Lookup +, I've used it for years for this.
[Verizon LG V10] OnceAMatrixMan:
I used QuickShortcutMaker (on play store). Start the app then search for call reject. Create a shortcut. Done. Calls go to Voicemail. Doubt it blocks sms though.
[Verizon LG V10] veteranmina:
Found out that the call blocking is still in the phone, just hidden.

To get to it Nova Launcher has to be installed:

1. Long Press on home screen

2. Select Widgets

3. Activities widget and drag to home screen

4. Scroll down to Call Services and click to drop down menu

5. Select Call Reject Mode (.CallRejectActivity)

And there you go, you have access to the call reject list!
[Verizon LG V10] artcarney:
The apps worked great -- until Verizon removed the settings from the V10. The apps were just "front ends" for those settings on the phone plus they added a bit more functionality.

The apps no longer work without the blocking settings VZ removed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcohen67:
So my N910T is stuck on the Welcome screen after flashing back to stock. I flashed C0G2. I'm thinking maybe it was the update or something, but it's like 1.6gigs so I figured it's the full rom.

The reason I flashed back to stock in the first place is because I was messing around, trying different roms, when I ran across one that made my screen seem semi-unresponsive. Nothing I touched would respond. I would touch the screen and it would like up to the touch, but nothing else. If I sit there and play with it long enough I'll accidentally get a button to respond. When I pressed the power button I get the "power off/restart options, but when I press one the phone doesn't power down.

I'm downloading the NIH now (which is 4.4.4) and try flashing it. I don't know what else to do.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazgoul:
I read a lot of reviews and opinions here about the Z5C that are from people that were or still are using a Sony device. The Z5C is usually compared in terms of the Z3C or even the Z1C. Those comparisons are good if you own those devices, but I have no prior contact with Sony. My current device is a Moto G (1st Gen).

So I'd like to know what people who had no prior contact, or at least not in the past years, with Sony say about the phone. How does it feel and how much "crap" is on a Sony phone compared to a Nexus or Motorola phone? How good/bad are the Sony-Apps ? What "oddities" do Sony phones have?

Thanks for your opinions.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logger:
I came from a Moto G (2nd Gen) to the Z5C which is my first Sony phone. So a similar path to what you are considering. It comes with way more "crap" on in than the Motorola did. Where my Moto G (2nd Gen) might have had 5 Motorola utilities, the Z5C has maybe 30. Many of them are app/tools that seemingly connect you into the Sony Sphere. PlayStation stuff, Dinosaur images pop up in the camera you can stamp on your photos and super cheesy Japanese schoolgirl emoticons for your text input.

If you like the clean native Google apps such as Gmail, Calendar, Photos messaging and so on you will find yourself having to disable the Sony versions.

One oddity my Z3C has is that is is fussy about which micro USB cable will charge it. So if like me you have a collection of micro USB cables and chargers from previous phone they may not all work. I guess this may be due to tighter tolerances required water proofing the charge port. Not a biggy but worth knowing.

I find the Xperia Keyboard gesture input (aka Swype input) to be a PITA. Miss rate is too high and deleting errors is tedious. Shame becuase it works very well on other phones.

Small size is great. Can easily slip it in a front trouser pocket.

BUT I have yet to feel "vibrate on for calls" when it is my pocket. When someone does call when Z5C in pocket when I am doing somehting noisey like mowing a lawn, I dont feel the vinration alert, it seemingly wakes the phone and thereafter movement leads to random screen presses. So when I eventually retrieve it form my pocket an hour later the screen is still on and it is in some weird screen such as the camera or emerg dialer. Perhpas I am missing something here though. Oh and definitely don't buy it for the camera if you are expecting a point and shoot with a high % of great shots.

That's my thoughts.

Coming from a nexus 5, I love this phone! Never charge it from the mains only from my car every day(1 hour commute each way) and it keeps going strong! Pretty quick and feels good.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuonorosso:
Coming from Samsung S3

This Z5 is very bad...unstable sw, no optimization, really slow...bleah! I think i will never buy again a sony device. Oh...customer care is bad too.

Camera is slow and poor quality, GPS is very inaccurate, BT disconnet and reconnect every 15 secs (i think the problem is trhow but i can't disable it...)

So...i'm not a satisfied user..
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazgoul:
Thank you all for your replies.

I actually never use the original cables since I have set up a "charging station". Which cables does the Z5C not accept? Is there a pattern?

And I'm not buying this for the camera, I have a DSLR for that ;)

Do you have the newest firmware ? AFAIK a few things should have been fixed with the latest update. What experience do you have with the customer care ?

How was the Z5C in terms of "snappiness" compared to the Nexus ?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuonorosso:
Yes, last fw: 32.0.A.6.152

Customer care have reset the phone 4 times. Each trial did not resolve the problem. In the end they told me to bring it to service but they had no idea of the repair time and they not given me any temporary phone.

My phone has only one month and i need it for work...i can't stay weeks without it. For a 600$ phone i think this is unacceptable.

At this time i have the same initial problems...

I hope in Marshmallow ... :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] you5urf:
I have both nexus 6p and z5 compact. Previously had nexus 6.

I went for the z5c as it had wifi calling, and is a pretty small but powerful phone.

Notables, z5c is under-clocked, could be because heat dissipation on small device yielded unsatisfactory result, could be another one of those battery optimisation things.

It also seems to be on a conservative or power save profile, making it slow to start, but if you launch a game it gets into gear.

It was stuttering even with the OTAs of which i had received two, just a few days ago, even with factory resets it did not go away.

I used the sony PC companion to do a full firmware flash, not an incremental OTA and it became pretty smooth and slick to use again with all 0.5 speed animations and about 20 apps installed. I also disabled all of the original media apps and extra Sony stuff and use my own, poweramp and mxplayer is all i really need.

Pretty good experience to use now. Too bad about it using some sort of powersave profile even with stamina disabled. Good thing i have an nexus 6p to play with too.
