[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeshJedi:
So I've been having issues with my apps if I put them on the SD card. if I put them on the SD card they get horrible slow and laggy. Facebook for example can hang for minutes before loading what I clicked giving messages that the app is hanging and if I want to close it.

currently I'm running the Concept firmware , but even with that the Z3 runs out of internal memory very fast. and with some apps (groove) not allowing you to store data on the SD card, it gets a lot worse, making them unusable. After I installed the concept firmware I did reinsert the SD card and chose to format it so it's supposed to be an extension of the internal memory but it also doesn't seem to really work :/

Anyway right now I believe I'm running a sandisk card of some type, probably C10 if I remember right(can't really remove it right now). Is it the type/class of card that makes it work so slow on the phone ? is there some other preferred type and class of SD card that doesn't cause this serious app lag, and is there a way to then set it up so that apps that store large data and don't have a setting for SD card will still store on SD or to unify internal and SD storage as one ?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsav911:
I believe it's the card. even the class 10 cards are horribly slow for use as system storage. install a sdcard speed test app and test both internal storage vs sdcard read/write speeds. And you will be shocked.

I Use Samsung pro 64gb card. And I was able to use it as system storage on concept rom. It has 90/80 read/write (*rated) speeds. And it works fine on my z3.

[Huawei Mate S] Bimmerstyle:
Same question. Anyone made this work?

I've tried the guide for the Mate 8 found here but it didn't work. I'm not sure of the resolution of the image. I've tried making a screenshot with the cover closed and opened and cropped the picture in Photoshop. The resulting image with only the wallpaper visible was 1018x684 pixels but putting a png with this resolution in the NameofDesign.hwt/framework-res-hwext/res/drawable-xxhdpi/cover_background_default.png folder as specified in the linked thread doesn't seem to do the trick.

Some advice?

I can't get a straight answer on this. Is there a speaker phone on the 4G Gear S2? I want to get one for $99 but only if it has a speaker phone.
[Samsung Gear S2] lyall29:
Yes it has a speaker. You can see this on YouTube reviews if you want.
[Samsung Gear S2] gshaw1967:
I have not found anything on youtube that shows speaker phone capability. I thought I had read some where that it has a speaker for music but no speaker phone. Had to be paired with a blue-tooth headset to respond to calls. So, it does have speaker phone capabilities? Or it just has a speaker? BTW thanks for the response.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyboneNoya:
Hi, to start off sorry if this is not in the right location.

I thought I might get the ball rolling and possibly spark the idea if it's not already an option for use on more than just one phone.

I really hate my Xperia Z2 for one reason. The glass backplate of the phone can shatter easily.

Sure, you can buy a replacement but the quality is garbage in comparison to oem and I've heard Sony will replace it for 200$ USD? forget that.

I've replaced the cover buying from ebay and amazon and after getting my fourth replacement, it cracked just applying it to my phone...

So my question is, how do I get my hands on an aluminum replacement or some sort of metal that will at least stand the test of time?

I'm also thinking of getting in touch with a sheet metal fabricator, as I see no other options out there or just keep using the phone without a backplate and a bulky case. The Z2 is still kicking ass otherwise so I really think it's crazy to replace my phone that's only a few years old and

let it sit there collecting dust cause of a cosmetic issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
Metal is a bad idea because it'll block the radio signals. Yes, there's plenty of metal-framed phones, but they all have plastic strips or some other means of not blocking signals. If the phone's not deliberately designed that way, it won't work well. For example, when I briefly had a Note 3, I got one of those aluminum/carbon fibre cases, and even though the back was only a skeletonized aluminum, it still dropped my signal by 1 or 2 bars.

Carbon fibre, however, would be a pretty cool choice. I have no idea the thickness of the back glass on the Z2, but you can probably find sheets of the appropriate thickness, even if it's a flexible sheet. It won't exactly be cheap (probably ~$20 for a 6x6" sheet of whatever), but it'd look really cool and definitely stand the test of time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyboneNoya:
Nice, I didn't think about signal blocking. Carbon fiber sounds cool.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxyacetylene:
I have a FTV2, rooted. I installed VLC Media Player using the regular Amazon app store (not side loaded). Whenever I hit the play/pause button on the remote, it launches VLC. Anyone else had this happen? If this is a bug in this VLC version then maybe I can side load another version on top of the regularly installed one. It doesn't matter what app I am in, when I hit play/pause it brings up VLC.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightykd:
I think this is a general bug. I have Google Play Music installed and on certain screens (not in movies or games) I cam press the Play/Pause button and my Justin Bieber album automatically plays :P It really bytes that Amazon isn't as open to its users as OUYA Inc. was. At least with OUYA I had EASY access to their engineers and could report bugs :P

Facebook app resolution and Google pay "not available in your country" (even though I

I don't know if I'm not wording it correctly, but I cannot find answers to these questions no matter how hard I search so here goes.

I had to hard reset my phone, after resetting the Facebook app is now "large" as in I used to be able to see 6 or 7 stories on my feed, now it's almost like it's zoomed in and I can only see 2 or 3. I don't know how else to word it, but how the heck do I adjust the resolution so it is more appropriate for the giant screen? Adjusting the font does nothing. Before I reset my phone it was fine, but after the reset it just looks wrong.

Also, with android pay, I'm located in the US (my Google account was originally set up in the uk though) when I try to add a card it tells me that android pay is not available and may not be available in my country. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any clues how on earth I can fix it?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andygmb:
Hi there,

My phone (samsung galaxy S2) is stuck in a boot loop where it will boot, then get stuck on the samsung logo and after a while the options / back button will light up and the phone will remain in this state.

I desperately need to get my photos off the phone, anything past that is just a bonus - I don't mind having the phone not working as long as I can get my photos off of it.

I can access recovery mode, and when using adb shell when the phone is in recovery mode can see the sdcard but when I

cd sdcard

the sdcard directory is empty.

If I use adb shell when the phone is stuck at the samsung logo, and try to

cd sdcard

I get a PermissionError.

Can anyone help me recover my photos off the phone? Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
You didn't say whether you were rooted or had stock or custom recovery or anything like that......

Without those basic details we can't really advise you......

http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andygmb:
Completely stock, no alterations have been made to the phone since I bought it a couple years ago.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Well....that makes things a little bit more complicated, but not impossible......one of the the two methods I could suggest to recover your data rely on a custom recovery, and *may* not work anyway (due to it being likely that usb debugging has not been enabled)....but I'll still make the suggestion........

Flash said custom recovery (preferably stock based.....PhilZ for example) go into recovery and under advanced, select mounts and storage and mount sd card. Then connect your phone to your pc via usb cable and your pc *should* be able to see the required files......I say *should* because I *think* usb debugging has to be enabled in order for this to work..

That's the first suggestion.

The second is to re-flash (with odin) the firmware you had on your phone before you suffered the bootloop......The theory behind this being that a normal firmware flash will only overwrite what is flashed.....to try to explain.....

As an example....

Your existing firmware is made up of A.B.C.D.E

Your data is F.G

Odin will overwrite A.B.C.D.E with an undamaged copy of itself, but will totally ignore F.G.....

Which *hopefully* will leave your data intact but on a normally booting phone.....

Problem solved.....

I actually ended up going with the first thing you suggested - it turns out all I needed to do was download the USB drivers from samsung for my phone, and I was able to use odin to put philz recovery onto it.

Now, I am backing up all my files from the phone but I still need to get it working again. What do I do once I have my files off to install a working OS to fix the boot loop issue?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Once you have your data, you have 3 options......

1) in recovery wipe cache, dalvik and data.....If it's an app causing the bootloop, doing that will be enough to recover the phone.

If that doesn't work then.......

2) flash a custom rom via recovery.

3) Use Odin to flash back to stock

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akprashant:
I have a similar scenario described below

Successfully rooted S2 using PhilZ touch 5. Previous to this the phone had the OEM stock FW/ROM.

For unknown reason, after uninstalling some Samsung bloatware, the phone went into bootloop (recurring loop of Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 --> Samsung logo animation)

Requirement: I now want to restore it with the all the user app data stored in internal storage like SMS, phone contacts, WhatsApp and others.

Following are failed attempts to fix:

1. Rebooting

2. Wipe Cache partition

3. Re-installing the PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.9-signed.zip again.

I am able to reboot to download mode or recovery mode and then access both internal and external sdcard from PC. How do I create an backup image of the storage that encompasses all the partitions, which I can use after doing factory reset/ re-flashing? I feel the advantage of creating a backup as image instead of copying individual files to PC, is that creating an image stores the original file access rights intact. This would help in easing the process of restoring the user data files if I happen to know the path for each app's user data. Correct me?

In the PhilZ Touch 5 UI, what do these options mean or the consequence of choosing each of these options:

Wipe Data/Factory Reset

-Wipe Data/Factory Reset

-Clean to install a New ROM

Wipe Cache Partition (Why there are 3 No options when one would have done the job?)

-No

-No

-Yes - Wipe Cache

-No

Backup and Restore

-Backup

-Restore

-Delete

-Custom Backup and Restore

-Free Unused Backup Data

-Misc Nandroid Settings

-Backup to Internal sdcard

-Restore from Internal sdcard

-Delete from Internal sdcard

Are the backup options provided by PhilZ good enough for me? What else are the possible ways?

Thanks.

I have been having the same issue with my phone

And would love to retrieve all data saved on internal storage if possible

Only problem is, unlike you, I don't have RECOVERY MODE access & I can

only go to DOWNLOAD MODE. Can I still flash my phone with Custom recovery like PHILz?

My phone is previously rooted already. So I guess I need a CWM safe for STOCK ROM?

can you share links that still work? I am quite new to XDA and a noob at that.

here's his repo about Hermes : https://github.com/xiaomi-dev/android_device_xiaomi_hermes/tree/cm-12.1

You will notice branch is based on nofearnohappy's work, which is based on bule's.

and he was developed on any Xiaomi's device which use Qualcomm's SoC.

RN2 is his first trial, he only use a week to learn MTK and he already updated a most stable CM on github.

I think there's no body know this news(I'm from Taiwan, so I know all the latest information from China. If you wanna contract with Chinese developer like ivan and bule, you can ask me in PM. I have privately way to contact to nofearnohappy and bule :p)

Just go ahead and download ODIN and the latest firmware for the device.

On your device, boot into Download mode. Hold down Home Button, Power Button, Vol. Down Button together until it pops up a cyan colored screen and just press the Vol. Up Button.

Then, flash the firmware through ODIN using the AP section to select the firmware.

After that, make sure that auto-reboot, F. Time Reset, and Nand Erase All is checked under options.

Just click start and it should start flashing everything.
