[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSavage:
I have a new Xperia Z1 phone, and I'm thinking about rooting it with a one-click-tool and trying to keep the root across multiple updates.

My question to you guys, is how often roughly does the Xperia Z gets new official updates, and how much work is it to update the os while keeping the root.

I've seen [NUT]'s guide for upgrading to version 14.2.A.0.290, and it seems too much of a hassle to go through if the updates are really frequent. I do not wish to go for a custom rom, as my previous phone had a few problem with custom roms in terms of stability - and I'd like to stick to the original for a change.

Thanks for the help :fingers-crossed:

Im on Existenz 2.0.0 with root and unlocked BL

when i listen to music the walkman app automatically pauses every 4 mins and i make sure that i cleared all recent apps and that i dont use any force close ram mangers

i posted this in the thread of the rom but no one helped me so im hoping that anyone could help me here
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Pauses or stops and needs to be reopend again?

Because I have'nt seen any reports about the walkman application pausing everytime but I do know about the RAM problems of the SP where the Walkman app gets closed.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliiahmed.20:
i think it pauses because when i open the screenn i see the notification of the application being paused

also the ram problems occur when people browse and listen to music but i listen to music while my phone screen is off
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Do you have to restart the song from the beginning or has it seleted another one? If so then it might me closed due to RAM problems.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliiahmed.20:
acctually to be precise the song stops because when i start it again it starts from the beginning and how do i have ram problems when i close all the recent apps and i make sure that i have 160 mg free ram
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Well sometimes you cant help it. It is a known issue with this device.

You can always wipe data of the walkman application and test again.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliiahmed.20:
there must be something to fix it
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
You could try a factory reset of that ROM and test the walkman app without any other applications to see if it is app related or not.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliiahmed.20:
tried and still the same
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Reflash the ROM is the only thing I can suggest at the moment.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] headbon3:
I also experienced such glitches with music interruptions, i'm using walkman and V4A when using my phone as mp3 player. I found SOME SORT of solution and that its -- UNINSTALL ANY SD CARD TWEAKS such as SD read ahead speed or set it to device default. I suspect that maybe the tweak isn't needed coz i'm using Class-10 SDcard and applying such tweaks might be "SUPERFLOUS" and thus causing issues with music playback.

But then if still you get no better results...last option would be to USE ANOTHER ROM and uninstall the later. Just my opinion:fingers-crossed:

Hi guys,

So I woke up this morning, and noticed that my phone went from 90% to 50% within 4 hours. Checked my bbs and it says that this wlan_rx_wake wakelock is causing 90% of the reason why my phone won't go into deep sleep. I've been googling for solutions and I've came across something about my router being bad or using static ip instead of DCHP and things like that but I honestly don't know how to translate these instructions to something I could understand. Here is what I found on the xda forums. Can anyone tell me in a clearer way how to handle this wakelock?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2133176

And by the way, I am almost positive it has something to do with dropbox because I tried to do this 50GB Dropbox hack and flashed this zip in my phone, then that's when things started going downhill. Any help would be much appreciated.

4.2.2 is bad and cant go back to 4.1.2

Hello,

You can use any recovery as it will be overwritten by odin once you try to flash firmware.

But in my case i was unable to revert back to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2. After flashing 4.1.2 all i can see is "Samsung Galaxy Grand i9082" thats all.

Have to reboot by holding down Volume up + Home + Power button.

I can reboot into recovery (Stock recovery) in this case because Philz recovery was overwritten. but from there all i see is dead droid with "!" mark and nothing can be done from there.

So for now it is not possible to revert back to 4.1.2. If you managed to do so please help me also. 4.2.2 is terrible :(

Thanks!
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DMJoh:
I had reverted back to 4.1.2 successfully even after the latest update..

Try a couple of times flashing the 4.1.2. Since the recovery got overwritten flashing is going on.. But might be incomplete. Try again..
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hi_blues:
What firmware should i flash?

Thank you for your reply.

I have had tried it for 3 or 4 times now. 3 times i ended up in the boot loop and for 1 time i was stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Grand i9082".

Could you briefly list the steps to downgrade to 4.1.2. I have Nand backup of my stock rom is that of any use? :confused:

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks again for your help.

EDIT: It worked. Again i was in bootloop but this time I went back to stock recovery and "wipe/factory rest" then "wiped cache" and yeeeey it worked. Thanks made for the motivation :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheStart:
I am on stock 4.3 and used the CF-autoroot to root my S3. When my phone rebooted it said unfortunately SuperSU has stopped. So, I googled the problem and someone said to download the latest apk and it should work. I did that and SuperSU did work and I installed titanium backup to make sure. However, after I installed Xposed and rebooted, it said that SuperSU has stopped again and I can't go in the app. Will I have to update it every time by downloading the apk when I reboot? When I go in the playstore it just says open and not uninstall or update.

Edit: Ignore the thread. I got it working after flashing the KNOX remover and flashing the latest SuperSU through TWRP.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSavage:
I got a brand new Xperia Z1, and I'm thinking about rooting.

After reading a bit, I saw that it is quite complicated to maintain the root throughout firmware updates (i.e. [NUT]'s guide).

I'm thinking about rooting the device using a one-click-root tool, modify the /etc/hosts file, and then update and lose the root.

Has anyone used a one-click-root and than OTA-updated successfully? If so, which of the three one-click-root tools did you use? Did you have any special problems later?

Thanks for the help! :cowboy:

======

Edit: It doesn't work

Just to clarify - I wanted to have root only temporarily, in order to modify the hosts file. I did not care about having it later.

Here is what I actually ended up doing.

1. Started with firmware version 14.1.G.1.534

2. Rooted using VRoot (See Guide by krabappel2548). Make sure to un-tick "verify apps over USB" in developer options

3. Changed the "/etc/hosts" file to my version of the file

4. Tried to do an OTA - and it didn't work :\

5. Used Sony PC Companion and successfully updated to 14.2.A.1.136

As expected, I lost root access. Unfortunately, the hosts file was also overrun by the update. I'm now back to a normal hosts file :\

I did a few additional steps which shouldn't be too important, but might have affected the process (backing up of the TA partition, installing SuperSU and removing it, etc...). If this topic is of some importance to you, let me know and I'll write exactly what I did.

Step 1: Enable Stamina mode and Low battery mode.,

Step 2: Set both of them to only activate when battery level is below 1%

Step 3: Don't let your battery level drop below 1%

That should take care of those 2 notifications. If anyone has figured out how to get rid of all the other annoying Sony notifications, please post.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tsc.smith:
There is another way to stop it ;)

If these stamina notification fade in you can use two fingers on this notification and pull it down...

there is a checkbox you can deselect to hide these upcoming notifications
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Gregz78:
Like every notification on Android, you go in the Application menu, you search for the app concerned and uncheck "show notifications"
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] yeah_mike:
Have you actually tried this? Which application is responsible for the power management tips notifications? Post a screenshot.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Gregz78:
I thought every app having the permission to post a notification was in the app listing with the possibility to disable the notifications. Eco mode Control have his checkbox greyed out.

Apparently, the "real" apps involved are “SemcPowerSaveModule.apk , Settings.apk and SuperStamina.apk” and I don't see them in the app list so forget my quote :silly:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kerngehirn:
Thank you so much. Worked on my Z5c. Great hint.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Coirpre:
OK: Interesting bit of knowledge, which in this case doesn't help much, but might still be nice to know:

If you don't see an app in the listing or if it's checkbox is greyed out, use this:

adb shell
pm hide com.package.name

to reverse it, replace "hide" with "unhide".

This hides the app from the system, including in the drawer. It is similar to "disabling" system apps. Not recomended for things you actually use, e.g. com.android.settings or com.sonymobile.superstamina. They will not work afterwards. It works very well with the annoying "low storage" notification though. Package name is com.sonymobile.storagechecker. Just try it out, you can always unhide, and the changes are instantaneous.

ADB is great.

You can for example find packages by

adb shell
pm list packages searchterm

so for example

pm list packages settings

produces a list of all packages with "settings" in the name.

pm list packages -s settings

shows only system apps with "settings" in the name.

If you want to play around in ADB by yourself, use a questionmark after a command to see all the avaliable options for this command. The two basic commands are am (activity manager) and pm (package manager)

adb shell pm ?

Not sure what starts this, but my phone will switch to "driving mode" randomly. It will switch to and from "driving mode" around 5-10 times per second, which essentially renders the phone useless. I will have to restart once, but sometimes up to 10 times, to get the phone to stop switching to "driving mode."

I am quite confused because I didn't think CM11 even had a "driving mode" to switch to--I thought that "driving mode" was only a feature in Samsung-based firmware. Please help! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahd33:
Mine is doing the same thing and yes, it's OUTSTANDINGLY irritating. Did you find that it was a CM11 thing? Did changing roms solve it? Did you ever manage to solve it? I just tried factory reset but it's still doing it. Next I'll be trying a different ROM i think - perhaps something samsung rom based rather than cm11 or aosp based and see if it helps.

Any way to disable driving mode in CM11? I also didn't think that cm11 had/supported driving mode but after a factory reset hasn't helped, it's quite clear that it does!

Can anyone tell me about their experience with the MOTO X what you love and hate about it what someone learns after buying it, if you could would you buy it again?
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
It is stock android+ - the plus being touchless controls, motorola assist and active display. It has no lag because it doesn't have an overbloated OEM skin like touchwiz on it. And the Motorola radios hands down beat the Samsung radios. I had the GNote3 and tested it side-by-side with the Moto X and in weaker signal areas the Moto X outperformed the GNote3 in speedtests as well as having fewer dropped calls. In strong signal areas, the GNote3 and Moto X perform the same.

Ergonomically, the phone just feels great in my hand.

Get the GSM unlocked Developer Edition if you can because the latest version of Android is not rootable on the ATT Moto X.
[Moto X Q&A] Virus1x:

Well the bootloader is locked down hard on the ATT Moto X and no root available on 4.4.2 and the dev who rooted the Moto X on 4.4 says he is not going to work on finding a way to do it for 4.4.2 so probably never will be. Don't know if that is important to you or not but since you are here on XDA I would assume that it is.

yes very much so. my ability to develop my phone is very important
[Moto X Q&A] hovax615@hotmail.com:
The att gs4 has a locked down boot loader also if you are able to get the baseband version of MDL for the gs4 get it! That means there's an exploit but I doubt you'll be lucky enough to get one. You'll probably get one with mf3 or mk2. You can still flash a few custom Roms via safestrap but when I had my gs4 I was always trying to get something close to stock android but the only Roms you could flash is touchwiz roms. The gs4 is a good phone but the gs5 is around the corner and the gs4 will be but a forgotten memory. Plus the features on the gs4 is gimmicky the features on the moto x is very useful. Get the moto x you won't regret it. And if you don't like it within 6 months get the gs5 with the att next program. No root method for att gs4 4.4.2 either on MLD

MOTO X Slapped
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
well, you won't be able to do it with an ATT Moto X running 4.4.2 unless someone finds a way to root and it doesn't look like jcase is interested in that.

I highly recommend the Moto X for it user functionality, but then again you're asking this on the Moto X forum. THe GS4 has too much gimmicky bloatware for my tastes, and I love the Moto X's features.
[Moto X Q&A] hovax615@hotmail.com:
You won't be able to root on the gs4 once the 4.4.2 MLD update comes.

MOTO X Slapped
[Moto X Q&A] eksasol:
You have to shell out some cash and get the unlocked Moto X or Nexus 5. Most of the phones on AT&T are bootloader locked, and of course, since they are AT&T branded they won't get the same level of dev supports as unlocked version.

Nexus 4 is still a pretty good phone. I used it on T-Mobile and flashed the LTE radio. You can try that and see if you can pick up LTE on AT&T, but they only provide band 4 LTE support in very few places, so it's not very likely.

In all honestly, if you intend to buy phone for lots of custom roms, the S4 is a much better alternative provided you can unlock the bootloader. The Moto X I think is a better phone, but doesn't have much custom roms and kernel. The thing is the Moto X work so well I feel no need to root it, it already perform very well and have great battery life out of the box.
