[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.loverlover:
I had g2. Was great but not enough storage. I didn't like g3 somehow however after holding g4 in my hand it made a better impression on me than flex 2 and I would also consider buying this phone.

Before z2 I had m8 and I must say that it was the best device for me in terms of quality (all z-series i ever had had/have some issues). The reason I switched to Sony was low mpx count and weak battery, but damn, this ui was just lag free. After switching to z2 I immediately noticed it's much slower and speakers audio was just soo crappy (which I got used to now).

So if you expect good quality, very good display (and glass not catching so many fingerprints as z2) then I would pick m9.

If you expect even a better display and multitasking (like in Samsung) then go for g4.

If you expect good camera pick Samsung.

However, I myself would discard Samsung immediately, because it has no sdcard expansion and small battery.

Trust me 2600mah in m8 was nothing. (I'm a quote heavy phone user).

Hi!

have bought a used HTC One (M7) that is AT&T unlocked. Now I live in Tunisia (North Africa) and i can't update my software version "4.18.502.7".

This is my bootloader status:

***RELOCKED***

M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH

CID-11111111

HBOOT-1.56.000

RADIO-4T.24.3218.09

OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909

OS-4.18.502.7

eMMC-boot 2048MB

I tried to install the following RUU: "RUU_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_7.17.15 40.7_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_4 20191_signed_2"

I had changed my cid to match that of Brightstar (BS_US001, or sth like it) but didn't work. I kept encountering "error 155".

I just want to find a compatible RUU and to be able to update (getting rid of AT&T bloatware would be a plus).

Please help!

Thank you!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You must be connected to the at&t network to receive ota update for the at&t version. If you want to convert to the Brightstar version using that RUU you'll first need to update your firmware to at least 6.xx.1540.x. Look in my dev edition thread (link in my signature) you'll find all the dev edition files.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akskizo:
Thanks, man! I will try that
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
make sure you use a full firmware and not a firmware patch (ota firmware).

The 6.07.1540.2 should work fine
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akskizo:

I am looking for a newer bricked(totally completely useless) T-Mobile MDA like my avatar for cheap and in reasonable physical shape so I can fix my MDA. The housing is totally dinged and scratched on my phone and the screen has a nasty scratch on it that is rediculously visible.

If anyone has one of these, please let me know.

Thanks, Dan.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] markbloke:
Housings have got a lot cheaper on eBay now, used to be about £40, now down to about £24-£30 shipped. These are original "as new" removed from returned phones, I've never seen a non-OEM housing. Touch screen about £10 shipped from HK. I doubt you'll be able to buy even a bricked Wizard for £34-£40 so it might be the way to go.

First thing I did was drop my Wizard so the chip has been staring me in the face every day since. I'll wait for a few more dings before I part with any cash. A screen protector from poundland was a great investment though!

Edit: Sorry, see you're in the States so double those numbers...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] PaulMdx:
I bought a couple of housings recently. Things to be wary of:

1) The OEM case I bought came without an antenna glued to the top back piece, and was missing little pieces of plastic for holding the stylus in, etc. As a result it would have taken a HUGE amount of work to rebuild the case.

2) I bought an 'As New' housing from a reclaimed phone, and it was FAR from as new. It looked far worse than my current housing, so I sent it back.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koostis:
Hi guys,

I'm thinking of getting a S6 instead of my Sony Z2 and therefore I've got some questions:

-How durable are the both front and back glasses?

-By previously owning a few Sammys I've learned, that they get easily clogged with trash and start lagging. Have any of you experienced this?

-Is battery life really that bad? I've heard rumours, that sometimes even a day is too much for it.

-Overall, how happy are you with your device? Would you buy it again, or choose, for example, G4, M9 or whatever?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekan_:
1. Durable? If you have a good case for the bottom and a good screen protector for the front. My S6 has survived a 10ft drop onto marble floor.

2. Yes, it does start to lag a bit, if you have to many apps and all.

3. Battery life can vary for some people. For me, it can last around a day and a half with occasional mobile data use, but for my friends S6, his cannot last a full day even on ultra power saving mode.

4. I am happy with the phone :) But I would rather have the Z5 Premium, its just better in every aspect for me. The S6s software ruins it, but hopefully CM/AOSP will come for the phone.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiborprogmed:
-How durable are the both front and back glasses?

- VERY durable. i have had all the xpera flagships until z3+, but all had scratches , but s6 don't, and there is none on the camera. From durability s6 is well built.

-By previously owning a few Sammys I've learned, that they get easily clogged with trash and start lagging. Have any of you experienced this?

- of course. the memory management issue is still there, BUT it was there on z3+ too, and can be handled, dont't forget Android 6.0 is coming ( tons of light themes can be also applied)

-Is battery life really that bad? I've heard rumours, that sometimes even a day is too much for it.

- I'm running Simcity build it, all the day. And therefore i have to charge 2x a DAY. NEVER used this phone generally only for phone/text/browsing. Maybe those can handle bat. drain. Only my z3 was better, but that was slower in 3d apps. But bear in mind, THE FASTES charging on the market is for Exynos 7420 devies , such as s6. It can catch up 20-40% of charing within minutes !!!!

-Overall, how happy are you with your device? Would you buy it again, or choose, for example, G4, M9 or whatever?

- deffinetly yes. There is q810 devices OR slower 808 devices on the market now. THEY ARE ALL WORST than S6 or other Exynos 7420 devices. I always bought Xperias, but 810 leads me not to buy. M9, Nexus 6p also suffering becouse of the wrong q810. I have tried the G4 several times, but slower in 3d related apps, it has slower specs from everything.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyreturn:
I'm having the same problem as you. No matter what I end up bootlooping at the rom splash screen eventually. Even after the rom appears to be doing well.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dissmeister:
Most likely a vendor issue. I had the same. Most roms are fine with the stock Google vendor, except for SinLess rom (which I use) that has its own vendor file. Its a new thing that came with the 6P and 5X I believe.

If you're on stock already and you have the factory image from Google, extract it, you'll find the flashall script with another zip file containing system and other images. If you're fine with flashing over, run the script. If not just extract the second file, you'll get the system, boot, cache.. imgs as well as vendor.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyreturn:
Must we flash the vendor.img after every rom?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dissmeister:
Nope, once, and you should be good. Unless you somehow managed to erase it in recovery or something. If you see a bootloop again, you know what to do. Its just another partition like system, cache, recovery..

Like I said, only some roms require you to flash their own vendor images. From what I know so far, SinLess and PureNexus.

I'd try a stock rom with the stock vendor first, if I were you, just to get things running. Then flash a custom rom.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D47x:
Slight correction, aside from screwing over with the actual partitions being the cause, it's mandatory for every major android update from google (e.g. 6.0 --> 6.0.1) if you want to update your rom to the following android version (For just nexus as far as i'm aware).

The images that needs to be flashed when updating are radio, vendor, boot and bootloader. (Unless stated otherwise by the developer of the rom you wanna use)
[Windows 10 Mobile] Lucius Snow:
Hi all,

I've been using a HTC HD2 running WM 6.5 since 2009. I'm still happy with it but it becomes more and more obsolete for many things (no 4G, unable to browse "modern" website, no HTML email support etc.). Now i think about purchasing a Lumia 950 for WM 10. However, there're many functions that seems lost or deeply changed since 2009. I need a new phone for professionnal use. I don't need social networks, games or entertainment things (what Android do very well by the way).

1/ I use Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 and i need to sync all my calendar and contacts with

no cloud at all

for privacy reasons. I have no exchange server. I'd like to do this through Bluetooth as i do it everyday with WM6.5. This seems impossible nowadays! Even between Outlook desktop and Outlook mobile. This is a hudge regression to me. I'm still stuck with my old WM 6.5 mainly because of this. I've heard of a software called Akruto but it works with a USB cable (another regression). Plus, and i can't find any feedback about this software. Is it really cloudless or not... we don't know.

2/ I need to sync many files

by keeping the original tree with folders, subfolders etc

, with no cloud again, between my desktop and my mobile. And i need this data being

crypted in AES

in case I'd lose my phone or some people try to access it. For now with my HD2, i use FreeOTFE which crypts and mounts a drive with a letter (i.e : G: ) on the desktop from a file stored in the microSD card inside the phone. After that, i can sync the files with a special software on Windows 7. This software needs a letter to be mounted for working. But again, it seems the MTP protocol has become the standard, and it's not possible to get a letter with it... Another regression.

3/ I need visual notifications when there's a miss call, a voicemail or a new mail

without sound pop-up

and without having to turn on the smartphone screen . The LED was very useful but i disappeared too. It was replaced by the glance thing which looks interesting. Does it work with the Lumia 950? I've read the glance doesn't exist (or doesn't work well) with AMOLED screen. By the way, can you choose what kind of notification exactly you need? To avoid draining battery for not useful things.

4/ I've been using Tomtom for GPS for 10 years now. And i'm sad to discover it doesn't exist on WM. What good alternative would you recommand? With of course point of interest customing and lansdcape mode switching automatically. Or, would you think the method to make working Androids apps on WM10 would work with a GPS software?

5/ Does Google maps exist on WM10? I don't want any alternative, but the original one for many special reasons.

Thank you very much.
[Windows 10 Mobile] surya467:
First of all , this is a huge jump you have made!

but you should just jump in a figure it all for yourself, because there isnt any mobile OS out there that can meet your requirements unless you configure it specifically.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Lucius Snow:
Yes i know i need to configure it to avoid the all-cloud forced step. That's why I'm here.
[Windows 10 Mobile] mjz2cool:
1. there doesn't seem to be any way to sync your calendar and contacts through bluetooth, and i don't think it's possible with usb either, unless using some kind of 3rd party software.

2. windows 10 has build in encryption, i haven't used it yet, so i don't know what kind of encryption it uses. but i think if you copy your files over they will get encrypted. another way might be using interop unlock, which, if i'm right about this, enables you to mount the phone as usb storage and mount it as a folder in windows, but again, i haven't tried this either, so i don't know how this works.

3. as far as i know glance does work on the 950(xl), but you can only choose 5 apps to display their unread count, in addition to showing the time and date.

4/5. there's no google maps, most google apps aren't available for windows phone/10. there is the default maps app, which uses bing maps. this app has basic navigation possibilities.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Lucius Snow:
Thank you. The Interop unlock the USB mass storage seems good news.
[Windows 10 Mobile] ld9828:
Hi,

ad3) I don't own a 950 but glance should work with the 950 (I can't posts links but if you google it or look it up on windowscentral you can find instructions how to set up glance on a 950 (XL) )

ad4/5) Build in maps are OK and also allow offline navigation.

[Android Stick & Console Computers General] goker3:
Hi guys,

I have a MX III Tv Box, and a really old Toshiba Tv. The Tv only have a VGA input (no HDMI), therefore I'm using a converter from HDMI to VGA.

But I have a problem, when I set the MX III to output in 720p, the TV seems like getting a good resolution (with the edges cut off) but the entire screen is half greenish. When I set the MX III to output in 480p, suddenly there are no issues with colors, but of course the resolution is only 480p.

The only output options I have in MX III are 480p (Good colors, but low resolution), 720p (Greenish, good resolution with edges cut off) and 1080p (Showing nothing, black flickering screen).

When I try to connect my laptop using the HDMI to VGA converter, the Tv works perfectly fine on 720p (I think, it looks HD).

One last important thing to say is that when I connect my laptop, the TV shows "Input XGA", but there is no such setting where I can modify the TV to always stay on XGA setting. When I connect the MX III, when on 480p it says "VGA PC".

Does anyone know if:

1. Upgrading the firmware of the device may help, if so, to which firmware?

2. There is a way to control the output resolutions and settings of the device, other than what there is with the stock version?

3. Any other idea?

I will really appreciate it, I'm desperate :(

Thanks.
