[Xperia Z3 General] ohwarumbloss:
I came across several Devices like Samsung S2/3/4/5, Note 2/3/4, Sony Xperia S/Z/1/2/3, LG G2/4x, Nexus 4/7 and some more I think but the variety of Development is really one of the smallest here in Z3.

Actually I'm stuck at the Z3(no money) and got used to it but, except the Battery, it isn't that Killer I expected from it.

Well no, I don't need a Tissue ;)

Downloaded the Slim Stock Sony from here, actually it is Version 5 with some really nice new Features (Launcher/Icons..) + Xposed + Gravity Box and I am happy.

Back in the the Samsung S2 days, many people were complaining about Samsungs politic about their Exynos Chips and Developers had hard times with it but now, just have a look at S3/S3 LTE Forums, always up-to-date.

I don't understand why there is no official Cyanogenmod 13 for the Z3, even the CM 12.1 is just nightly but unfortunately I lost touch to all this back in the S4 Active days so I have to wait for what will come.

On the other side, the Z3 is a stabile daily Device with no bigger Problems so it could be worse. And Android 6 is coming, sooner or later :)

BTW, my wife's Z5 (Telekom Germany) didn't get MM, yet.

Greetings,

Thomas
[Xperia Z3 General] lu99ke:
No official CM due to, mainly, the camera bug.

They can't release a snapshot version with such a big issue.
[Xperia Z3 General] :
I agree. This is why I personally will try out Samsung. Specifically the Galaxy S7 Edge. I always see Samsung devices getting a lot of attention from 3rd party developers. They always get fully working custom roms and such. I've been stuck to Sony for a really long time (ever since the Xperia X10 Mini Pro) and I'm tired to see all the devices I use to be quickly abandoned. The lack of development is seriously pissing me off (I'm not blaming anyone).
[Xperia Z3 General] TheXorg:
The only thing why I really HATE Sony is that Bootloader Unlocking thing. I've got a Nexus 4 - unlocking the BL was super-easy and I'm using a custom rom till now.

Next phone was a Moto G - there was a bug which prevented me from unlocking (and rooting) it. But I posted on Motorola's forums and somebody from them helped me and gave me a testing bootloader - also unlocked and custom ROM till now.

But on Z3 I risk loosing DRM keys, good camera, video recording (!?) and YouTube playback - a REAL dealbreaker!

The "missing" development is not such a big thing for me, as the stock ROM is a really good base to work with - so far, I didn't miss that part at all.

But what I miss because of the locked bootloader is to have a recovery in recovery partition which is (more or less) guaranteed to work even when phone is totally messed up. Without unlocking, just to restore a twrp backup, I need to flash stock, root it, install XZDR and restore it - which takes at least 30minutes.

But for daily use, also with root, I'm satisfied with my Z3 with Stock + XZDR + SoundMod + Xposed.
[Samsung Gear S2] mikesaa309:
Hi all,

I've had my S2 classic since January but since the latest update introducing auto brightness thing and flight mode, vibrations have stopped working. If I switch off and back on again it's fine and works as it should but I'm assuming since I put it on charge the vibrations stopped again, though again a reboot sorts it.

While it's easy to sort it is pretty annoying to have to do it every day just wondering if anyone else has the same issue and how I can fix it hopefully without having to factory reset it?
[Samsung Gear S2] basser0815:
Hi,

I think I just got the same issue today with my Gear S2 classic, latest update. It didn't vibrate despite an active notification. Still have to check if it works after reboot.

What is all these terms mean under AIDA64>Thermal?

max77854-fuelgauge 35.2C

therm_zone0 44.0C

therm_zone1 45.0C

therm_zone2 42.0C

therm_zone3 44.0C

therm_zone4 44.0C

ac 38.1C

Does this give any info about CPU Temp.? If not how to accurately measure it without using any external equipment? I feel my device is getting very hot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
If you're playing a game or doing lots of browsing then yes it will get warm.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Krust4:
OK. Just of curiosity, what does 'therm_zone0' mean?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
Most likely a certain location inside the phone, it seems to have a handful of thermal sensors inside.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
Does that mean anything related to CPU temp?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KoRoZIV:
Zone 0-4 are CPU related temps.

Just guessing but makes sense.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
I didn't mention anywhere that I'm using my phone while charging.

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

I have to be sure because a different app is showing relatively low CPU temp.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KoRoZIV:
I'm quite sure. If you refer to the CPU temp app from play store, that one is wrong.

PS: is there a way to get a link from the play store app ? I would have post a direct link to that play store app but I don't know how to get it )

The screenshot is enough I think...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
It is quite similar to the one in AIDA64/CPUZ. But just for the marked value in the screenshot. That's why I asked many guys about what's the next 5 values relating to some zones mean. Nobody is sure of the answer [emoji53] View attachment 3702777
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KoRoZIV:
I had aida show me 75 Celsius, that can't be anything else that CPU.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
Ooh 74C! Under load? I'll check mine also.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
The therm_zoneX values are in no way related to CPU as far as I can see from these pics(attached).View attachment 3703617View attachment 3703618
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KoRoZIV:
Put your CPU under stress, watch the temps and tell me then that those are not CPU readings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
I took the highest value from the AIDA64 among the 'therm_zoneX' values as you can see from the attached pic. Also have attached my readings during a session of NFS No limits. Please have a look. Seems crazy!?

When I receive a call and decide that I want to turn on my bluetooth headset, it's not recognized until after I disconnect the call.

Also, anyone know of a tweak so the blue LED for bluetooth only turns on when there is an actual connection?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJH101:
Does any custom rom currently support wifi calling please? :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariom:
I would be interested to see this too. I'm going to flash one of the more popular ROMs in the coming weeks on my N-9005 (still stock due to a need for Knox) and see if it has wifi calling. I guess the 6.0 ROMs should have it baked in?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
So has anyone noticed that the Google Camera app is no longer visible in the play store? It may just be in the USA where I am, but the only way I can find the Google Camera app, is when I'm behind a VPN for another country. Anyone else notice this or know why?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
I read something about this the other day. It has disappeared from the Play Store, it's not just in the US. You can still find it on APKMirror.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera&hl=en

The direct link still works, but unless you own a Nexus 5, 6, 9, 5X or 6P, you will not be able to install it as Google has restricted the app to those devices. Further, you can not search for the app on the PC or the Play Store, which I believe means the link's only purpose is to allow for updating the app for the Nexus line. It's still possible to download it from APK Mirror, but for devices other than the five mentioned, it probably will report an older version, if it installs at all.

The real question is, what is Google planning here? We just don't know.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
No idea! What's weird is that I saw people on Reddit saying they were from Canada and they were able to search the app in the playstore, and after using a VPN and spoofing my location, I was able to search it in chrome as well! I'm not sure what they're doing, but it's really strange!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSTALGIA:
could be a problem of playstore.. this has existed for the past few weeks now.. but searching for the app on google still routes you to the playstore.. wonder why app cant be visible on the playstore itself
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
There is one other app they have with this behavior: Google Play Services. You can search for com.android.google.gms in the Play Store on both PC and device. However it won't show up, and you have to use a direct link to see it. Unlike Google Camera however, Play Services is for every phone.

Hopefully it's a mistake on Google's part and it will be fixed soon.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianlamb42:
For what it's worth, today on nexus 6 with pico open gapps, and AICP 13 (8.0 Oreo), the above link gave "not available in your country" (USA) in browser, but copying the link in the browser had an option/link to play store, which did work, and after install Gcamera works! I was missing photosphere, so thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] scotty1223:
first let me state that we are NOT looking to be an alternative to sunshine. the java card is an alternative path for devices that have no temp root exploits or official unlock support. we are not currently offering service to devices supported by sunshine.

the vzw m9 has not had any exploits since its release,so a good size network of folks with java cards has been developed. the vzw m8 on MM now is in the same boat. we wanted to get it out there that we can help you guys as well. at least until exploits are found.

we do not charge a set fee. we work on a donation basis. what you need to do is look at the map provided in the OP and see if you have anyone close enough to make an appointment,then send them a PM. failing that,you can arrange with most of us to mail your device. we can do simple s off,or s off,root and recovery,and return it to you.

this is NOT a support thread. you will go to the thread linked below for all questions and contacts. do NOT clutter this thread with "how does it work" or "is there anyone near wherever".

again,go to this thread for support: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-one-m9/general/m9-java-card-t3063247

I have Android 5.1 with twrp 2.8.7.0 and su installed. I tried installing the Android six update but when I press install it turns off my phone. Boots to boot loader. And then I reboot it and nothing is installed. I tried installing viperone 4.3 and the install itself went perfect but when I turned the phone on it went to boot loader and I pressed reboot and it just kept going back to the boot loader. I tried wiping the cache through twrp and that didn't work. I tried to install busy box and the same thing with that. HTC screen comes up and the read text with "the phone blah blah developers void warranty blah blah"
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] poppyseeds:
Recently, I bought the LG Stylo from Boost on Craigslist. Before the transaction was completed, I checked the IMEI and everything checked out clean. Like a lot of folks here on this site, as soon as I got home, I attempted to root. Prior to me rooting, I got an OS update to marshmallow and I went ahead and did it. Once the update was completed, I rooted with Kingo Root and root was achieved.

Not long after (within 24 hours), I noticed that my phone was getting very laggy and choppy so I decided to reboot. When I did that, the "LG Life's Good" boot image showed up like usual. Then the screen went blankb and turned back on to the boot image but the bottom said "SECURITY ERROR" then couple seconds later z the screen goes off again and it comes back on to the previous boot image. It pretty much is doing a boot loop. Initially, I was able to access the stock recovery and I did a hard reset but that didn't help because the outcome was the same. Then an hour or so afterwards, my access to the stock recovery was gone. Now when I try to boot recovery, it says LOADING RECOVERY but then instead of going to recovery, the Android guy pops up and right below him it says ERASING then it boots into the boot loop cycle.

At this point, all I can do is boot into download mode and from my understanding, all I can do is install the firmware. Since I was on Marshmallow, I looked online for days for the boost mobile 6.0 stock firmware. What I failed to realize is that what I found was completely not meant for the boost mobile 6.0 variant instead it was for T-Mobile 5.1.1. Yes, I made the mistake and flashed it the LG Support Tool and yeah... Stupid move because now my phone is completely bricked. Nothing comes up on the screen no matter what hard key combo I try BUT what's weird is when I try to power on my laptop makes the sound that it detects it but a box on the screen for my laptop pops up and say that I need to unplug and replug the USB cord to fix and if that doesn't work, then that means something is wrong with my device.

I really like this phone. Any one can drop knowledge, I'll be forever grateful. Please help.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] SpadedFaded:
Damn that's all bad I just gotta Stylo and I was thinking about using kingroot to root it right now too
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jmacie:
1st off, kingroot won't root Marshmallow yet, it only goes up to Lollipop 5.1. You got the temp root we all got using the newest kingroot. I used it too and I've bricked and sent my phone back to LG twice, because of kingroot. There are many others with this problem. You are gonna have to take a chance and send it to LG. You'll have to lie, and tell them you had a bad MM- OTA update. I wouldn't say anything else and make up a receipt, unless you can get an original receipt, or don't include a receipt, even though it asks for one. Some one on Android forums sent theirs in without a receipt and it wasn't a problem, I guess since stylos are not out of warranty since they haven't been in production a year yet. Go online to lg repairs, and/ or call them. There is no custom recovery for a boost/sprint/virgin stylo because it has a locked bootloader, so you'll have to take a chance or wait forever. If you send it to LG they will send you a prepaid label and if they won't fix it they'll send it back, That's all I got, Good Luck
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] poppyseeds:
Thank you jmacie. After you said that many other have this exact issue including yourself, I felt that maybe this isn't something that an average person could fix on its own and that it needs the knowledge of an LG tech. I called LG and requested a repair and I've filled out the request form and now I'm just waiting on the stuff they'll send to customers so we can mail it in. They said it takes about 5 to 9 business days before I get it back. During those days, from your experience of sending it in 2 times already, do you get an email from them telling you whether they can fix it or not or do you find that out when you open the box once they mail it back to you?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jmacie:
If you don't get an email soon about shipping your phone to them, call them again.They should send an email titled "Mobile device repair instructions" That email will have a pdf with the label to print and instructions to take out your sd sim backcover, it doesn't say but take out the stylus. Take off your screen protector or they'll throw it away. The email has a tracking link that you can check the status from receipt to return. I'm sure you'll be nervous, I was but you have the new marshmallow update causing many people problems kind of covering you up. I don't know how they might evaluate your phone, but you know you don't have any other choice, none of us did, so keep positive. LG has been great to me and that fact keeps me considering buying my next phone from them too.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] poppyseeds:
And that is exactly where I'm at in this whole process. I'm waiting for them to email me that pdf document for me to print out and off the LG Stylo. My quick question is since you mentioned that you've mailed your phone in TWICE already, do you remember exactly how long it took each time from the day you mailed it in to LG to the day you got it back from them?

And yes, the MM update is going to kind of cover me and my issue because I've read more negative things compared to the positive so fingers crossed. Hopefully all those positive experiences you've had would transfer to me and my case. I've wanted the phone for a while abd when I finally got it, within 48 hours, BAM! this happens. SMH
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jmacie:
It was 10 days total. After I filled out my form I called saying I couldn't wait around for a phone call as my contact # was my landline, and they immediately sent me the label. That live agent call did include questions about what happened. In my case I had told them that google services was stopping and after a hard reset I got a frozen on LG logo screen, which was the truth both times, but I'm certain the circumstances were aggravated by my messing with the build.prop and kingroot

[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] krazeyfire:
it took 4 days to get it back from broken usb port and bootloop i got stuck on

just send phone it self

No back cover

no stylus pen

no battery

no sim/sd card

they'll dispose of them all if you send anything but device itself

i made the mistake of not taking my pen stylus out of device and gotta order new one

but overall i got mine fixed for FREE and got it fixed and back within 4 days lucky me

but yea they'll fix it just depends on case by case i guess since my charge port had burn smell and marks gues that caused them to fix entire device and i sent it in with 5.1.1 and got it back with 6.0 so yea i say don't root till there safe proven method or till they let us unlock bootloader but till then just be happy with what you got
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] handyman509:
samething happened to me too, any help welcome
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] jmacie:
you have to send it to LG.This phone has a locked bootloader, so there is no custom recovery, so you can't just mess with trying to use tools made for tmobile unlocked phone. LG is very good about fixing and they have fixed mine. Also there is no permanent root for MM 6.0, so when you use kingroot that is ONLY made for up to Lollipop 5.1.1 you take a chance of bricking and there is only 1 way out , send to LG

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ionutdicu:
I think there are real big problems related to the lack of good accessories for S7 edge.

Facts:

-	The best OEM protective cover (at least in my opinion) – the Leather Cover is nowhere to be found, only in pictures; there are several weeks of estimated delay for this product all over the world!

-	The slim Clear Cover (transparent back cover) is mediocre designed, you should test them carefully before buying! Margins are awfully finished (very rough), the case comes already with scrathes on the transparent inner part (just like the case of S6 edge) and the lateral support (added also for lateral protection, a new redesign vs the one for S6 Edge/ Edge+) is very shaky, making the use of this case an absolute awful experience! At this price and with such high expectations, this is outrageos

-	For the non-OEM cases: many have really big problems of proper compatibility and there must be 2 alternative reasons for this:

	Samsung has made a “last minute” redesign (eg: on top, a possible switch between the extra microphone hole vs the sim tray position)

	Samsung has rushed things too much and the non-OEM suppliers for accessories have failed this rythm... Even SPIGEN has big problems, there are many clear rumors that they have recalled all their accessories for the S7 Edge delivered to the market (you can start by checking amazon USA – there is no Spigen product for S7 edge!). The biggest problem: the clasic Neo Hybrid case, where the lateral polycarbonate frame was way too loose... Also the Rugged Armor, way too loose.... you should check reviews and facts including here on the forum!

-	I must add that it-s a huge dissapointment regarding the non-existence of the Glossy Cover that was available for S6 Edge+, what a pity! And that design was clearly much much better and what a beautiful slim-line!

What do you think? What have you experienced?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
I agree with your points on the Samsung cases. I think they could have been better. I have the Clear View and whilst it's an adequate case, it feels very loose. The front flap doesn't magnetically lock in place which I thought it really should. It's UI feature hasn't been implemented well.

I disagree with the Spigen comments. I have two Spigen cases and have had no issues with misalignment or them being too loose. In fact quite the opposite. I have two Spigen cases and one more on order. The two that I have in hand are:

Slim Armor Air

Neo Hybrid Crystal - Gunmetal

Both are seriously tight fits. The latter being tighter then the former. Whether the issues you mention are limited to a particular market, I don't know. But certainly Amazon UK still have all S7E products from Spigen.

I've also got the Spigen Thin Fit on order from Amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
The OP isn't wrong about Spigen's cases having fitment issues; take a look at my case OP if you want to see pictures of what he's referring to. On the other hand I disagree with why they're out of stock everywhere. This is speculation: Spigen likely had to revise one thing or another hence why they had a sale to clear inventory. Spigen's done this before, so it would not be surprising to see it happen again. I've seen then revise cases randomly, and then not tell anyone that they changed the case design. Spigen had never recalled a case, but I think it's certainly plausible they're revising the line up. I know my screen protectors from them had issues, and the new ones won't ship until the end of the month (maybe the cases will too). Only time can tell at this point, so there's no reason to really speculate further.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jc83:
Ordered 2 spigen ultra hybrid's on amazon - 1 was loose on the sides not gripping phone and the other is slowly becoming loose.

Ordered 2 spigen neo hybrid cases on ebay. Silver has the loose PC frame the gold seems OK for now.

I will be contacting Spigen to see about replacements or if there are known fitment issues and if they are working on fixing them. I've had mostly spigen cases in the past with 0 issues. Hopefully this gets fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
I'm not saying the OP or you are wrong, I'm just saying my experience of the cases has been different. Maybe I've just been lucky.
