[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
HAHAHAHAHA! That's ridiculous!

First of all, never tell Sony customer support that you've done anything to the phone software. They will be more than happy to void your warranty to avoid losing money on the repair. Secondly, do not use any RMA number they provided to you (because it probably has a note attached to it in Sony's system indicating that the repair is not warrantied). Finally, chat/call Sony support, tell them the SD card isn't working. Tell them you tried all the BS techniques to fix it (reboot, factory reset, sony PC companion, etc), and then get a new RMA number that will get the device fixed under warranty.

Send in phone, wait a week, get repaired phone, enjoy! :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Undeon:
First first of all, I had a insight to ask to not keep any information of any kind during the chat session... Only after that, I told I rooted, changed the firmware, insisted that the software and hardware is working perfectly. They said I lose the warranty anyway... Later, I contacted them to erase all information they had about me. So I don't have an RMA ticket yet. But thanks for the advise.

Hmmm one more thing.... Because of my poor english, I wasn't clear enough.. The microSD is working fine. The problem is the microsd cover. The small rubber is loose and the cover wont close correctly. I cleaned everything but wont solve. It may be a "small" problem, but I lose the water resistance.... :(

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Undeon:
I contacted them again. Since they have a repair center here, I just have to go there and leave my Z3C for repairs.

I will appreciate if they give my a brand new cellphone (I'm dreaming to much? hehehe). A friend of mine received a Z3+, but his case was more serious. Anyway... I'll update this thread when I have an update on the situation.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ghl10000:
There is a special secret dial code for invoking an extended Engineering Mode on the Oneplus 3:

*#36446337#

This opens up the menue of this extended EM.

It worked. But I screwed it up, so I cannot invoke it any more :(

I know, shame on me and all that stuff, this was totally my fault, as I played around with the apk, copied (not moved) it to the Download folder and tried to install it like a normal app.

Did not work.

But now also invoking the original extended EM no longer works (f@ck).

I'd like to kindly ask the real experts among you:

1. What is it I screwed up with my stupid attempts to install this apk?

2. Is there any way to restore the information the dialer needs for parsing this secret code - other than performing a factory reset?

Or which is the information that got lost or overwritten?

3. All files in

/system/app/EngineeringMode

/system/app/EngSpecialTest

appear to have been unaffected.

(But could anyone please share the proper contents of these two folders, in case the extended EM works properly for him?)

4. Is there any way of invoking the extended EM directly working around doing it with the secret dialer code given above? e.g. by modifying the apk - admittedly in a more sophisticated way I attempted ? :(

I hope my question comes in the proper forum, don't want to cross-post it.

Thanks in advance!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] unimatrix725:
Please Post Files as attachment or Link...

Would you be kind enough to post these files or a link to them? Unsure, but suspect a permissions issue or incorrect location of said files. I think you can connect to computer (with debugging enabled, & allowing access & allowing the rsa prompt also). You will need a command line/terminal depending on your desktop /laptop os. . I would say that you can use adb devices, then adb shell and finally am then the package name. Not sure how to format the activity manager command. Mayb am start - n xxx or am start xxx. Perhaps forum or Google can help. I kno that typing just am from the adb shell will list all possible options.
[Note 7 Accessories] filthimoney:
I have skimmed through the pages in the other tempered glass screen protector threads. I have yet to find a manufacturer who makes an edge to edge protector that adheres to the entire screen rather than just the top and bottom.

My issue is that with a water proof device, anytime it is exposed to water (every day for me as I place it on the shelf in the shower to listen to music), water becomes trapped underneath the tempered glass.

Anyone picked up a model that would remedy this?
[Note 7 Accessories] probablecauzdnb:
no one currently makes one
[Note 7 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Why did you feel the need to open a whole new thread for something that has been discussed at length in many other threads? no, there is no solution yet.
[Note 7 Accessories] THS1989:
Doesn't the official Samsung one do this ?
[Note 7 Accessories] fenderguy05:
The official Samsung one is plastic, not glass.
[Note 7 Accessories] BozQ:
The official Samsung one is not tempered glass.

I strongly advice against getting curved tempered glass. Or any screen protector with curve protection.

I got my replacement Note 7 and I decided to just use a flat film protector and leave the sides exposed. So much easier to use this way.
[Note 7 Accessories] dermotti:
which flat one did you get!
[Note 7 Accessories] Mayonesa:
I went nude screen on the explosive n7 because i knew i was going to exchange it and i only managed to get one scratch and it was on the edge. I think i know how it happened.

Be careful
[Note 7 Accessories] nabbed:
It feels like **** though. I had an IQ Liquid Shield on my old Note 7, and it felt nice in the hand. Barely a bump in feeling, some around the edges but not really noticeable. This current new Note 7 has factory screen protectors, both front and back. But they feel sharp and edgy, they don't cover the curves. I have actual sleeping nightmares about applying a brand new IQ Liquid Shield protector I already have, and it peeling horribly at corners. fEa.r me..?
[Note 7 Accessories] filthimoney:
Yeah. So I got my replacement n7 today. Picked up a Qmadix "first defense" screen protector. Guess what? It's edge to edge and the adhesive goes all the way around the screen. Just got out of the shower (phone got soaked), no water under the glass.

There is no reason to be rude.. Obviously, the other threads "discussed at length" on the subject failed to stumble upon this gem.

Thanks everyone. I'm only 5 hours in but I have no complaints. No halo, sits flush. Thicker than the Verizon branded one I had previously. Has kind of a unique cut out for the Samsung logo. I also purchased a camera, hearbeat sensor, and home button glass.. I'm set lol.

Edit: forgot to mention the Qmadix also comes in all three colors. I purchased black respectively.
[Note 7 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Other threads didn't find this so called gem of yours, then mention it there, that's the whole point of the original tempered glass thread. To discuss solutions. Not make a new thread for the EXACT same thing. It's just annoying to have multiple threads for literally the exact same topic. Surely you get that.

Anyway. Do u have any photos or share so we can see how it looks?
[Note 7 Accessories] Snowleopard1900:
Not sure if anyone has seen this yet, I don't know if it is full adhesive or not...... http://zerolemon.com/product/case-f...-for-samsung-galaxy-note-7-lifetime-warranty/
[Note 7 Accessories] OutCastedSheep:
probably not full adhered.

i tried dozens of them looks just like that, most of them only have adhesive on the sides or the top+bottom. all returned.

i suspect this one will be the same, but its not available to purchase on Amazon yet. Guest i will try this too.

i will report see how it goes. but i have no hope at all.

case friendly and curved too on the design like that..?? dont know thats legit or not.
[Note 7 Accessories] chillsen:
This will work 100%, even my case won't peel the screen cover.

http://imgur.com/a/sq0n5

https://amzn.com/B01HN2T6YI

you must get this specific version for the full cover. there's a lot of different variations. also let the film completely dry before you even attempt to wrap down the sides. you can use your palms, squeegee, and blow dryer. Remember the water spray is only for help with placement. When this film dries, its very stick and adhesive.

i just hate TPU material, its spongy, soft, leaves imprints and a weird texture. but it does full cover. tempered glass and PET film will never do that.
[Note 7 Accessories] borijess:
Your case doesn't even go around all the edges.
[Note 7 Accessories] chillsen:
the sides of the case overlap the screen protector with zero lifting. it would obviously work the same way for any case, even those that cover the top and bottom
[Note 7 Accessories] borijess:
I have the same protector updated version on my note 7. Did the shrink wrap trick too when i applied it. Came out nice after 12hrs. Once I put my UAG case it started to lift edges. I had to use a credit card to slide case phone in without lifting edges. So I thought I was all good right. Nope a day later it started to lift on the top side and bottom side. I have to smooth it back to down continuously. So either you got lucky or you case does not life the edges.
[Note 7 Accessories] chillsen:
maybe it was the way you put it on? as in one side you will comfortable be able to tuck it under but the other side kinda snapped on and slid/lifted the cover in order for the case to snap on?
[Note 7 Accessories] ohblindone:
Not sure if you found it yet, but here is the screen protector he was mentioning. Got good reviews (from a handful of people so far) but is pretty pricey at $35 U.S.
[Note 7 Accessories] Mayonesa:
Just installed this. I think i know why most companies only use glue on the top or bottom. The quality of the product is good. The packaging is great but i would rather get something a little more simple and maybe save on the cost.

I have yet to turn on my replacement N7 so i cant speak on clarity but the fit is decent. It even works with my Seidio Dilex case on even though its "full screen"

Here is my one problem so far (its only been an hour since install) there is a slight clicking sound when you press on some areas. The edges etc. This is the reason why i think most companies dont use glue on the sides. I think this is where the clicking sound is coming from. I think i installed it as best as i could but who knows. Maybe its my fault.

Im going to try to use it for a while to see how well it works and if i can stand the clicking sound. This is my 1st glass screen protector for the N7 and i dont think ill try more in the future. I just wanted to try one out.
[Note 7 Accessories] kirschdog1:
I also bought one of these and i am greatly pleased. One draw back is some cases push up on it. Got my rinke slim case on though! Caseology case not so much!:)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Randy Lahey:
I've agonizing between whether to buy a Galaxy S7 or HTC 10 for my next device. I've canvased opinions on the HTC 10 thread and wouldn't mind a bit of advice from the Samsung S7 thread.

It's been a tough decision.

I like the HTC 10 for the following features: Near stock android operating system, DAC amplifier, Boom sound speakers, metal design = ruggedness (impressed by this drop test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS3NLCPK4NI ) and on a minor point it seems easier to root and install custom ROMs although never did that with my Nexus device so not sure if I'd risk it with a newer phone.

The S7 on the other hand has: an AMOLED display (better outside viewing), waterproof, better battery life, better performing camera, and in Canada an E8890 chip which seems to outperform S920 in a lot of tests.

Also like the idea of hooking it up to VR Gear and as far as I know the HTC 10 isn't compatible with any VR. Part of me also wonders how long HTC will be around for to support this phone given company performance.

Did any of you S7 owners consider getting an HTC 10 and what made you decide to go with the S7 in the end?

Appreciate any advice.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gsmyth:
I think it goes without saying both devices are pretty much the best you can get at the moment and so either device makes a great choice (or a tough one!). The HTC 10 isnt available from my network provider/carrier and so it was an easy choice to go for the S7 (i receive staff discount as well).

I previously owned a HTC One M8 and it was a great well-designed phone, the only let down was the camera. Ive had a few phones in between, but when upgrade time came around again, I was really looking forward to the S7 mainly for the camera and it doesnt disappoint. The only thing that I wasnt that impressed by on the S7 was the audio, over the loud speaker its alight, but i dont think its that great with headphones over the audio jack. One of the things that blew me away with the M8 was the sound over the earphones with just the ones that were included in the box. I havent tried a HTC 10 but I think its generally agreed that if you favor high quality audio then the HTC comes first.

I wouldnt worry too much about rooting/custom roms, if you didnt do it with your Nexus then it doesnt sound like your a rom junkie and so could live without it with either device. Im leaving that stuff alone for now as everything runs really well and can be customised to a decent extent as is. Plus there are monthly updates with minor changes and security patches.

I dont have a VR headset but keep meaning to pick one up second hand as it seems to be a lot of fun and gets good reviews and makes good use of the S7's high res screen. The water resistance is also a nice feature as well, although I've havent had any water related incidents to date, its nice to have some peace of mind.

Sorry if thats not a great help, but good luck with your decision!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Randy Lahey:
Thanks for the honest reply, it was helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eddykoodoo:
Samsung S7 overall is superior.

Only camera of HTC 10 i believe is a bit better.

S7 has a better ergonomy and screen ratio.Is umpressive how is confortablevin hand even better than S4 wich was just 5 inches...

Battery of S7 is impressive but you have to waist at least 3 days to disable all the stupid bloatware of Samsung.Than you need also to activate all the option prevent a lot of apps using data in background.

A lot of settings for battery saving maybe also a wipe cache.

Than finally you will have a great phone in your hand probably the best in the market.

For VR also HTC 10 is very good cause a powerful GPU and same resolution of S7 but LCD is also sharper than Amoled

"The S7 on the other hand has: an AMOLED display (better outside viewing)" - this point you can safely disregard.

Hello, I really hope someone can help.

So I'm using my D855 for two years now and since day one I had 32gb Samsung SD card in it. Few days ago, out of nowhere I got this:

'Screen shot with different card'

I thought that card is dead, but than I took my wife's card and my phone didn't even read it, at all.

I tried with 4 SD cards so far, with no luck. I was hoping that it is some bug, but than I factory reset my phone, and issue is still there.

So this is what happens:

Card in:

And than:

Few times I got option to format to fix SD but after that it says 'READING SD' and nothing is going on.

I still have my fingers crossed that I do not have to replace my phone.

I'm on stock, with no physical droppings of the device.

Hi all!

I cooked my first stripped ROM (base HTC v3.13.406.1) one month ago and was pretty happy with it.

A time later it seems that I couldn't receive SMS. I then try to re-cook from the HTC base ROM v3.13.406.1. I do exactly the same things as the first one.

My RUU_Signed renamed ARTEIMG.nbh on uSD, flashing, resetting, booting and then it stop with the welcome windows and the taskbar on the top (M$ logo with sync, network, time etc.)

If I re-cook from MY first base STRIPPED COOKED ROM on MY ARTEMIS everything is ok (flash,reset,boot,welcome) but the problem is that I couldn't receive SMS with this ROM.

It seems that I missed nomething on cooking.

Does somebody tell me what is wrong!
