[Sony Smartwatch 3] ttaarrmm:
an alternative

I have a silicone one but I now use a metal strap by using an adapter. I bought an adapter through this site: https://www.shapeways.com/product/T9NVRLAJV/sony-smartwatch-3-adapter-22mm?optionId=58575196

This adapter is not the best but I find it usable and far more cheaper than an official one. I have used it 24/7 for a month now. No problem so far.

There are adapters for other strap size (20 mm, 24 mm, ...). You can also order them in different colours. This site offers discount or free shipping sometimes.

Hope this helps
[Sony Smartwatch 3] biochemgod:
Whoa - that definitely looks rough. I had both sides of my band break at the metal/plastic interface, but was able to repair with superglue - looks pretty much as good as new and solid after a month.

Also bought the shapeways adapter and a silicon band for sports/exercise. It looks fantastic.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] GiorgioAresu:
Same here

Metal version purchased 1 year ago, still under warranty, USB protector below the watch is broken and the support for wrist strap too, and it is not covered by Sony.

150€ repair they claim. Simply wore every day since I bought it. Not abused. Programmed obsolescence. Very disappointed of Sony.
[Networking] redhonker:
Hi,

I have 2 problems.

1. Phone with 4G and WiFi enabled. Smart network switch is enabled. And there is 2 WiFi available. The phone is initially connected to WiFi A (5 GHz), which has similar strength as of B (2.4 GHz) and both are 5 bars. Then I move to another spot when A has 1-2 bars and B has 4 bars. The phone will remain connected to A and won't switch to B. I think there used to a setting to avoid WiFi with poor signal. But I can't find it any more. What could I do to make it auto-switch to B when A drops to 2 bars?

2. Tablet with WiFi only and no option for smart network switch. I have a set it up to auto connect to an open WiFi at a place and it works. However, when I leave that place, it will remains connected to it, even though it can no longer be found (miles away now). The WiFi tab should show it has 1 bar signal and it's connected. I have to manually connect to another WiFi. How could I fix this?

Thanks

Oh sorry. I didn't find there was the post that have same topic. Sorry for posting about same topic.

Hello guys.

I'm using nexus 6p and just have installed Purenexus rom.

First, I've flashed purenexus rom with Elemental X rom. But while using, my phone has shut down and took several reboots to get booted.

I thought maybe it was the problem of kernel or etc, so next time I just only installed purenexus rom.

It seemed to have no problems, but it has shut itself again, and since then my phone is bootlooping.

I tried everything with google to save my phone. I tried various versions of twrp, searched many forum posts, and finally I wiped every data and flashed google's factory image, but it didn't work.

I started to think that there isn't anything left I can do, but this forum is my last hope.

and though I've seen xda for many years, I'm a newbie as a member, If there's anything I'm doing wrong, please don't hesitate to point out my fault.

Thanks

Hello! I have managed to get Xposed Framework working 100% on my

rooted

Kindle Fire HD 8 2016. My apologies if I posted in the wrong forum or incorrectly titled this thread as I am new here.

The following method I used is as follows.

1. Downloaded the Xposed Framework installer located at:

https://xdaforums.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758

2. Get some sort of File Explorer app. I personally recommend ES File Explorer.

2. Install APK normally with either browser or file manager app (ex: ES File Explorer)

3. Open app and go to official tab.

4. You should see something that looks like xposed-v87-sdk22-arm, next to it there should be a little downward facing arrow.

Click on it.

5. Select xposed-v87-sdk22-arm64 from the dropdown menu.

6. Click on Install or Install/Update

7. By now you should see a little console window popped up displaying that there was an error finding "app_process64". This is normal.

8. Go to home screen and open your File Explorer app.

9. Navagate to /system/bin/ and delete the file: "app_process64_xposed"

10. Reboot your tablet ("Optimizing System blah blah blah" is normal when booting.)

11. Open the Xposed installer app we downloaded earlier

12. If you see a green box with a checkmark in the middle it worked!

13. Go give coltxL2717 a big ol' thanks over on his post at:

So, i'm pretty sure i messed up the process, i selected the wrong option from the drop down and it gave me an error. Once i restarted the Fire 10, it's now stuck in bootloop. (fire logo). I tried logging in to the recovery (vol Down+power) but it doesn't let me and restarts.

The tablet was rooted, and had google apps installed.

Any suggestions to get it back?

Ugg, same thing happened to me. I followed all the directions after rooting. Stuck at "Fire" logo as well.

Had to boot into recovery and flash stock image (5.6.1.0) to get working again......

UPDATE - 2nd time around all went well. First time I couldn't delete the file using ES, so I just figured I'd reboot first.... Bad idea. Make sure you delete the file first (Enable Root Explorer in ES if it says it can't be deleted)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpend:
I have a Himedia Q10Pro Android box that has been bricked by a firmware update. I followed the instructions (FAT32 drive, only update on root of drive) I was performing the firmware upgrade from 1.0.8 (Android 5.1) to 2.0.1 (Android 7) very carefully as instructed by the post in the forum, box is in a cool equipment area, fed from a clean UPS for power. Got the Android upgrade screen, progress bar was moving. Stepped away to help my daughter, and when I came back I was at the HIMEDIA boot screen. Left it to boot.. and waited.. and waited. Wouldn't go past that boot screen, left it a couple of hours. Then powered off and then back on, still stuck on the boot screen (says boot on the LCD display too).. left it an hour again, no go. Tried leaving it unplugged overnight (clutching at straws!).. no change.

I've tried the upgrade again, when pressing the upgrade button, the LCD changes to 0000, but still displays the HIMEDIA logo and no activity light on my USB thumb drive. Tried several thumb drives, all 3 USB ports, several firmware versions (including the 1.0.7 as suggested), and every combination.. no dice. Stuck on 0000 on the LCD and Himedia logo on TV if I've used the upgrade button.. stuck on boot on the LCD screen and Himedia logo on the TV if I haven't. There is a guy in youtube (can't post links yet, search 'Himedia Q10 pro bricked after upgrade to hmd2.0.1') who seems to have the exact same problem.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Good evening S5 users,

I see tons of threads with various and sometimes contradictory information about the safety of flashing various things.

Can someone who is knowledgeable on the subject enlighten me as to the safety (or not) of flashing newer bootloaders, baseband modems and NON-HLOS? I see some of the TW ROM authors ask you to flash them with their ROMS.

I'm concerned because my phone has Hong Kong firmware, and I am unsure about flashing European firmware (XXU).

Thank you for your time!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eggleston11:
DO NOT flash firmware that isnt for G900F. Make sure you back up Modem and EFS (and also system, data and boot)

Flashing new bootloaders - do via odin. quite safe if done right.

Modem - . Baseband/frequency will change but your phone will be fine if done right. I've heard stories about the dangers of flashing new modems, but i've never had any issues.

Do what the tutorials say when flashing TW ROMS or else you may get no reception. they may supply a modem download that doesnt work well in your country potentially causing reception issues. Go to sam mobile and download firmware from your country. The easiest way is just to flash the new firmware (which includes bootloader and modem) before flashing the TW ROM (ur going to have to wipe anyways. dont forget to re root and get custom recovery again. use same version as the backup you made so you can restore). Other wise there is the process of extracting the bootloader/ modem from the zip file using winrar.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] xphyle1971:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...cally-jerryrigeverythings-durability-testing/

"The glass used on the Honor 6X appears to be very, very prone to scratching. It scratches at level 4 hardness, whereas most phones won't scratch until level 6. It's possible Huawei didn't use the same hardened glass other phones use (Gorilla Glass or similar). Weirdly, the label used to mark the scratch test area wouldn't even peel off like it does on other phones. There's definitely something funky going on here."

"The real issue becomes apparent in the bend test. The rear metal housing is only attached to the body of the phone with a few plastic clips, so it pops right off when the phone starts to bend. That means it offers no structural support to the phone. The LCD panel is destroyed very quickly as a result."

"This is a cheap phone, so you wouldn't necessarily expect it to be indestructible. However, the Moto G4 that was tested just recently passed with flying colors. Huawei really seems to have miscalculated here. The scratch-prone display in particular is a big problem that people will actually experience from normal wear and tear."
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] reyeselr:
I was expecting it to do well at zacks test because the Honor 5X did okay, but this was so very dissapointing. It's the worst phone he tested and to think that this phone costs more than the 5X. Such a shame that durability is ****.

Yeah, the Honor 6X's durability is very disappointing. As the displays litterally pops out during Zack's bend test.

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] hsn97:
The people who take JerryRigEverything's "durability tests" seriously are simply put, dumb. The videos he make are for pure entertainment purpose. Who lights up their phone's screen with a lighter? Are there still people who wouldn't protect their screen with a protector anyway? And seriously who the heck tries to bend their phone in half even if you're a rough user. Dumbness is taking over the people.

I own Honor 6X from about a month, I have about 10 hours SoT daily on my phone. With that kinda usage, I have 0 scratches so on my screen or back so far. And of course no freakin "bends" like it's a metal ruler lol.

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Absolutely..couldnt agree more..i never rely on such durability tests.who burn their phome, who bend the phone, who throw the phone like anything... After all its a phone and not the tracer bullet whcih you will fire..we buy with some hard earn money and we use it with caution...nobody likes to throw the phone as if its a peice of paper...even if you bend a phone worth 70K INR, it will bend no matter the material used for the phone...plastic, metal or iron...

lol..its a phone like any other electronic gadgets and should be protected the same way.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] xphyle1971:
While I agree about your bending point, the "glass" they chose to use on the Honor 6x is TRASH. Of the 50 phones that were tested by JerryRigEverything, only the Honor 6x scratched at level 3/4. Every other phone scratched at level 6. This is pathetic. I've never used or felt the need to use a screen protector on any of my devices, but after seeing this test I went out and bought a tempered glass protector for my Honor 6x.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] lukenova:
I've learned my lesson from years of using smartphones. I won't buy a phone without also buying a screen protector at the same time. I will have the screen protector applied to the phone within 30 minutes of taking it out of the box. Otherwise, you're just asking for trouble. Nowadays, you can get the really nice tempered glass screen protectors for pretty cheap. They actually offer some sort of protection to the screen. At least much more than the plastic film type of protectors do. The tempered glass might (and I have to say might) shatter during a drop but keep your actual screen from shattering. In my opinion, the hardness of the actual glass of the screen is irrelevant because I will never be touching or exposing the actual glass during the lifetime of my owning of this phone. Also, since this is a relatively inexpensive phone for what you get, I wouldn't expect the hardware to be as good as the high end smartphones.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] GoPadge:
I would say that it's a combination of the screen protector and case that truly protect a phone. (Which is to say, that even the cheap plastic film screen protector can provide adequate protection of the case is built well.) On my Nexus 4, I used a Ringke case and the factory, plastic screen protector for over 2 years with no damage or major scratches to the screen protector.
