USB OTG may not be working for scorpion windy

Currently running cm-12-20150411-nightly-scorpion_windy (SGP612). I can't help thinking the USB OTG is not operating effectively. Has anyone experienced success with any microusb OTG devices (e.g. USB stick)? Two different OTG cables, several USB sticks, no dmesg output, lsusb does not read anything either. The port does not seem powered (e.g. card reader led off). Did I miss something obvious? Never faced such an issue coming from a Samsung n5110 running CM11. Please advise. Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Doolittle Duckbill:
could that be the reason why MTP is not working - dead usb / not active in CM12??
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] andyrtr:
Where to download that version?

Can't find it under official nightlies: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=scorpion_windy&type=

Now first 12.1 nightlies seem to be released. Is it recommended to dirty flash this one over 12.0 ? Will we have to flash 12.1 gapps or will installed gapps keep working?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] noname2no:
Potential hassle going the dirty way

cm-12.1-20150423-NIGHTLY-scorpion_windy.zip unsuccessfully tested with SGP612 (WiFi 32Gb) using the dirty way. I had no success but mess by upgrading to the latest nightly . The Google apps went AWOL after flashing even after adb pushing and flashing the latest gapps.

1/ First step, I downloaded the latest GAPPS version.

It should be obtained from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps#Installation

Latest GAPPS for CM12.1 to date:

https://github.com/jrizzoli/vendor_.../2015-04-20/gapps-5.1-2015-04-20-15-56-24.zip

MD5: 995463cf166e69414f9c7bfac494c1a1

Then grabbed the latest nightly

cm-12.1-20150423-NIGHTLY-scorpion_windy.zip

MD5: d68a6a63176c6cdb013b0e2396ea4116

2/ Rebooted into CM recovery

2.1/ Wipe cache data (ie formatting the cache partition)

2.2/ flashed cm-12.1-20150423-NIGHTLY-scorpion_windy.zip

2.3/ flashed gapps-5.1-2015-04-20-15-56-24.zip

2.4/ Wipe cache data (ie formatting the cache partition)

At this time, the only way I succeeded with this upgrade was to factory reset the device.

Recommendation: backup, backup, backup
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
I tried an upgrade to 20150424 but that failed to start a launcher or let me get to settings after boot. Back to cm12 for a while.

Did a clean install of cm12.1 using 20150424 and its working but multi-user appears to have issues (can't customise user colours) and the pogo pins are not charging.

Second update: pogo pins in charger were loose, soldering fixed it. Just an annoying coincidence.

HOWEVER. I experienced an OS crash which corrupted /data and forced me to factory reset again so 12.1 isn't safe yet.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
Warning: as far as I can tell any attempt to use root to write into /system will break the ROM from what I see. Cannot install superSU either. Will try flashing a newer nightly but 24 & 26 are dying when using root apps. Tablet hangs and a reboot leaves the tablet unable to access user data, launcher fails and settings menu unavailable.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] MasterOfUnknown:
2 questions on cm12.1,

1. What is the battery like, can you get at least 8 hours screen on time

2. If I flash this after unlocking boot loader and backing up TA partion, can I restore TA Partion and relock bootloader, in case of repairs
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
Screen on time is good, similar to stock

You will need to craft your own firmware image to get that TA data back. I read the process and it sounded awful. Tbh the camera was crap even with the filters and I didn't think the screen filter did much either. Make the leap ;)

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

Finally got root working for apps needing to modify system; flash supersu after gapps on a clean flash. Only combination that works for me, flashing supersu after installing user apps killed my ROM.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] abomadany:
What's TA u r talking about ??
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
TA is the DRM enabling bundle within the stock fw. It enables playback of some (not seen any, Sony-specific I guess) DRM locked content that requires a device SIG and the drivers for camera noise reduction and video colour enhancement look for this also. Not sure what the fuss is about as the effects weren't impressive, I guess its likely to be a distribution deal with whoever sold Sony the code for the binary blobs in those drivers.

The bootloader unlock trashes TA which means you need a root exploit from specific versions of stock in order to export the TA partition. Kinda time consuming and as I fully expect Sony to support this for 12 months at most (maybe 10 more?) I won't be going back to stock again.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] MasterOfUnknown:
I found that I could just backup TA partion using BackupTA after using giefroot, then unlock boot loader and flash cm12. Then if i need to go baxk to stock I can just flash a Z3TC ftf file and restore TA partion. I was confused since I thought that TA Partion changes with every new flash or something so If I flashed CM12.1 and then wanted to go back to stock, the stock ROM I flash will require a new ta partion so I wouldnt be able to restore. Thanks, also does the Camera work in cm12.1 (video,photo and focusing) and can specify what the battery life is exactly (screenshot?)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
Battery life is gonna be totally dependent on your usage. Camera works but pictures are no better than stock; it's a bad camera compared to most phones.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] noname2no:
Battery life may not be comparable with stock. It may be worse. I only experienced Sony's kitkat rom. Nevertheless adding greenify and cpu tuner definitely helps improving battery runtimes. CM 12.1 is my daily driver since the very first nightly. I do not complain about the battery life. It fits my daily needs. Note that I do not play, do not watch movies.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] MasterOfUnknown:
I got cm12.1 and its great, no lags whatsoever. I hardly ever see any lags and themes are awesome. Also battery life is comparable to Sony lollipop. I can get about 7-8 easy compared to 8-9 hours on stock. Overall very good and will improve with updates. My problems include

1.No quick charge 2.0, I used a genuine quick charge charger and the light on the charger is blue meaning regular charging.

2. Some sound bugs, on YouTube the sounds seems to very low sometimes, can be fixed

That's all I really want quick charge, maybe someone could make a kernel and saw one on the z3 smartphone forums
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
Discovery: the problems I described with black screen after updates may have been linked to my use of a system profile that changed my lock screen. Apparently a current cm12.1 bug.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Ren Hayashi:
AOSP vs CyanogenMod

Has anyone tried playing around with both builds (AOSP and CyanogenMod)? Are they equally stable and lag free? Has MTP been fixed for both?

Is the touch screen sensitivity still as finicky as it is on stock ROM?

Noob question:

I'm running on rooted stock lollipop with a locked bootloader, restored TA, and Dual Recovery.

If I were to flash one of these builds, do I need to unlock bootloader again?

Or can I just flash the ROM and GApps straight away?

What is the "boot.img" mentioned in the OP?

Sorry, it's my first Sony and I didn't know flashing here was a bit more complicated.. I don't want to risk bricking my tablet. Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] noname2no:
Yes, you have to unlock your bootloader. Follow Sony's instructions. Then flash ROM, gapps. Boot.img allows you to update your system using OTA nightlies. This limited recovery is meant to perform only basic tasks, like updates and data wipes. Custom recoveries might fit your needs better. CM 12.1 offers a smooth experience. Battery runtimes improved a lot. If you do not care about losing the PS4 features and the poor camera quality, then have a try. In my opinion, CM 12.1 is mature enough. Regards
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Ren Hayashi:
Issues affect how I use my tablet day-to-day

I seem to be having a lot of trouble with bluetooth devices. I can pair with them just fine. But the audio output keeps on stuttering that it's practically unusable. Any way to fix this?

It also doesn't play nice with Medscape, causes it to hang/freeze, fixed by a reboot.

Quick charge really does not work anymore.

Camera works fine.

Edit: Issues with USB OTG as well.

Connecting my old DSLR via USB OTG yields no result, and neither does a memory card reader, a bluetooth receiver for a keyboard, or a controller.

Edit2: I can't even get MTP to work. Nothing happens when I connect it to the pc. Help! @_@

How do I revert to stock Sony ROM? Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] noname2no:
We emphasized on issues #1 (USB OTG) and #2 (MTP) earlier in this thread. Issue #3: I confirm the bluetooth audio streaming randomly stutters.

Issues #1, #2 and #3 are pending to be resolved in the latest nightly release (at least CM-12.1-20150509).

Rollout plan: I currently think of the following alternative:

1/ Sony Flash tool for Xperia devices http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/

2/ The tool named after Flashtool / Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde / Xperia flashing tool which allows flashing FTF files
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Ren Hayashi:
Thanks! Went back to Sony's stock KitKat ROM, rooted.

The USB OTG is a bit messed up on Sony's stock Lollipop (to an extent). I just have to learn to live with Sony bloat and ROM bugs (eg. YouTube videos stutter when resolution changes, touchscreen sensitivity issues).

CM12.1 I initially flashed was from 20150510, so I guess the issues mentioned have yet to be resolved. Generally, it runs a lot smoother than Sony's stock ROM. Cheers!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] noname2no:
...as well as stable. I did not experience any impromptu reboot yet. Although missing USB OTG and stuttering bluetooth audio are frustrating defects.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] noname2no:
USB OTG does indeed work. I didn't identify the changelog entry which corresponds to this feature. Not sure who committed this specific change. Many thanks to the dev I'd like to reward. Having an option to unmount devices properly would be a welcome addition. I did not find the entry in the settings/storage section. Fantastic job. Thanks.

Latest nightly status?

Hi guys. Sorry, buy can someone give me an update:

1. How are the Bluetooth issues on the latest nightly? Is it already fixed? Wanting to come back to CM but I use a Bluetooth headset with the tablet all the time so this is a deal breaker for me.

2. Also, is the computer now able to detect the tablet as an MTP device via USB cable?

3. Can you connect external devices to the tablet via USB OTG (USB, hard drives, card readers, controllers, keyboards, mouse, etc)?

4. Still no quick charge 2.0?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] noname2no:
1. Bluetooth audio is still stuttering (20150611)

2. I don't know - Never used MTP for anything, there might be better alternatives including SSHFS for filesharing.

3. Yes, USB OTG is now working. I successfully tested it with USB storage devices. BUT you cannot unmount these devices from the storage menu

Regards
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Ren Hayashi:
Experiment?

I just found out that some users (of the One Plus One) running CM nightlies also have Bluetooth issues. A couple of them reported that removing Audio FX/Maxx Audio/Audio DSP and installing ViperFX fixes it. Anyone gave this a try here?

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] noname2no:
Workaround failure

I attempted to cleanly disable audiofx without success. By the way, even if it went successful, such a hack might generate a lot of hassles while upgrading your ROM.

Anybody know how to set network to WCDMA only? I don't like how it connects to whatever it thinks has the strongest signal at a speicific area (which is Edge from where I'm from, apparently). Thanks! MTP works great. Bluetooth.. err.. well, it is what it is. Haha!

Edit: Still not sure if the feature is baked into the ROM, but got my way around this using Toggle Network Type 5.0

Headphones with mic not working

Hi guys, I'm new here. I like your site a lot, there are so many cool stuff. I didn't get enough time to check all of it, so if my topic is redundant, please let me know.

I guess this is a know issue, but the solution I found is very strange:

When I call with headphones (including microphone) plugged, on the other side they can't hear me. The microphone on the headphones is working fine. Google voice can hear me... moreover when I call, if I turn on and off the loud speaker, then the microphone from the headphones work perfectly.

Hope this can be solved somehow....

Current status

cm-12.1-20150917-NIGHTLY-scorpion_windy

It is stable, clean, no major UI bugs. I mainly have three complaints:

Defect #1 Bluetooth audio is still broken (music stuttering, unusable). Alternative: DLNA streaming over WiFi (e.g. BubbleUPnP, AirAudio).

Defect #2 Application "MOVE TO SD CARD" may be broken (at least for ext4 formatted SD cards). Ugly alternative: FolderMount with (not recommended) SELinux set in permissive mode.

Defect #3 USB OTG works but storage devices cannot be unmounted properly (missing option in the storage panel, no unmount tile). I did not find out any adequate alternative yet.

Edit 2: false alarm...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] papei:
"false alarm..." meaning that BT is still lagging or meaning that the problem has been corrected?

Is there a dedicated forum for the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact anywhere?

Sorry... false alarm = still laggy.

I'm looking for a dedicated thread as well. I've just been running CM12.1 nightlies by the seat of my pants. They're great so far, BT is my only complaint as I like to use BT earbuds at the gym.

I figure the partition was modified moving forward to MM? I can't seem to find a way to fix the problem though.. I tried rolling back to KK, but I end up with the same error.

EDIT: I finally managed to get it to work. After seeing the error, I did a factory wipe media wipe, cache wipe, etc. and attempted to adb sideload again. I initially did not want to do a factory wipe because the older nightlies did not recommend it (risk for bricking). Anyway, the progress seemed to have halted at around 47%, but I was told that the zip was installed successfully. After a reboot, everything was up and running. :D

So Verizon has dropped the newest firmware upgrade. I would like to upgrade, but I am suspicious that like all other firmware upgrades, it will cause me to lose root. The Firmware I am talking about it PDA:NK1 / PHONE:NK1 / CSC:NK1 (VZW). I am currently on "NG6" and was forced to use xposed framework plus wanam exposed to achieve device stability. Supposedly, the new firmware is much more stable, and I am hoping that those apps/mods will not be required to achieve stability with it. However, root access is essential to everything I do on the phone, and currently, I have found no posts regarding rooting the device post NK1 upgrade. Please feel free to enlighten me.
