Horrendous

The look and feel is nice, but the quality: HORRENDOUS. Nothing but bugs and crashes. Google really screwed up this one. Its so bad I'm actually tempted to get an iPhone.

YES ITS THAT BAD

:(

I even did a hard reset and re-installed everything. I'm looking at ways to go back (safely) to KitKat 4.4.x

If you haven' done so already, I recommend you stick with KitKat.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] emkinney:
Found something odd on my 8525 today.

I updated to the latest ROM (the AT&T branded one with PTT) and PTT was working fine.

I installed SMS Threader (www.trianglepowers.com) and whenever I'd change availability or one of my PTT contacts would change availability, I'd receive a text message in SMS Threader that consisted of "//KNrt" and a bunch of numbers and letters after that.

Does the Kodiak solution work via SMS? I just thought this was a little odd. Apparently it intercepts the SMS before it reaches the Outlook app on the Pocket PC so you never see it. SMS Threader grabs all SMS messages before they make it to your inbox, so obviously this killed PTT.

Mighty interesting. I had been wondering how the PTT worked, and whether it was using my data plan or not.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
yes.. when you log in/log out, update status, or your contacts update their status it is done via sms from 5555.. however the calling is different with PTT but uses a similiar code.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
let me give a better description of what goes on with PTT... these are all taken using the call log feature of Ikarus's Battery Status... any actual phone number that i was in contact with will be replace with x's but i will leave any code for PTT :D

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soktomy:
Hi everyone !

I'm planning to sell my good "old" One Max and buy a M8 dual SIM in Germany (m8_dugl ?) instead.

But before that I was wondering if the ROMs/kernels/bootloaders/etc. avaiable in the "Android dvlp" and "Original Android dvlp" forums will be compatible with it ?

I know that the procedure to root it may be slightly different but I haven't read anything about M8 dual sim (in)compatibilty yet.

Since there are differences between Vzw/Sprint/AT&T/T-Mobile/rest of the world versions, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the case.

Thanks !
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreemanAMG:
I guess I am one of the few that uses Google Location History, but I just recently discover that, since my Nexus Player is registered with the same account I use for my cellphone, Now location History shows me like I was in two places at the same time, which is really annoying, And I find a little silly that Google hasn't think about this.

Do you know a way to workaround this, other than disable location services on the Nexus Player?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] netter123:
I'm coming from the S3 and never had any problems with this, but on the S5 Pandora gives occasional hesitations (real quick skips) whenever I let it play with the screen off. It might happen 2 to 10 times per song, just depending. Sometimes I can go a while without it happening, but can't figure out anything that's different. It does not seem to depend on signal strength at all, as it happens in areas with good coverage. I thought maybe it has to do with the cpu being throttled down when the screen is off, but I'm not sure...but if so, I would think others would be having the same thing happen. Anyone have any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Swimguy14:
Uninstall app named 'adapt sound'

Or if you aren't rooted, just disable that app via the app manager. Please ask if you need further detail , I'll gladly assist.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] netter123:
I appreciate the suggestion, but after testing out quite a bit with "adapt sound" disabled, it seems like this isn't really making a difference.

I also should add that I'm usually streaming via an aux cable. After further testing, it seems that maaaybe toggling from the higher to lower quality audio makes a little bit of difference, but still doesn't eliminate the problem. Also, not sure why higher quality audio would be an issue given the strength of my LTE signal when this is happening...

Any other suggestions...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Swimguy14:
Are you not rooted/not willing to? I used a friends phone (not rooted) to test disabling adapt sound, they were having this same problem. Unfortunately disabling it didnt really change anything, to my surprise. I rooted the phone and fully uninstalled the app, and what do you know, the stuttering went away.

Now there could be a debate here about correlation vs causation, i have no clue how or why this happen(s). Just that it seemed to fix it for 2 phones ive personally dealt with.

I will find the discussion i previously read which singled out 'adapt sound' as culprit & see if there are other suggestions,

I cant believe no one else has anything to contribute
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] netter123:
I am rooted but had tested your suggestion out by just disabling adapt sound from the application manager. I'll try completely uninstalling it though and test some more.

Another thing Pandora does is occasionally freeze upon opening after I've used it a few times since a reboot (it'll play, but everything in the app is frozen and the system will warn the app has become unresponsive). So I have to reboot to fix. With the stuttering and this, I had kind of decided Pandora just has problems running on 4.4.2.

Anyway, I'll report back after more testing, but would still welcome comments or suggestions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
I saw posted somewhere else that someone found out that if they turned off adblocking in luckupatcher it fixed it, so do you have luckypatcher with adblocking enabled or adaway? Give disabling that a shot if so and report back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] netter123:
I never was able to resolve the hesitations, despite having tried various combinations of disabling system apps like Adapt Sound and MusicFX. I also did not have any ad blocking installed. I was also having both Pandora and Spotify freeze and act wonky right after starting them up, which required a reboot to fix. That problem was more regular, and so I eventually narrowed it down to the fact that it would happen after every time I used the stock mobile hotspot. I was unable to resolve the issue any other way other than flashing back fresh to stock, rerooting, and reinstalling all my apps. Now everything seems to be working, and I think it may have resolved the occasional hesitations too - been listening a couple days and it hasn't been happening like it was before. Anyway, I went ahead and posted about the link between mobile hotspot and my issues with Pandora and Spotify here:

Why this hasnt been done i dont know why... but i know from my standpoint I've been reluctant to root because ive had to dig and dig through other peoples posts for their phones (not sprint ) to find information . What few sprint information there is seems to be hidden in pages of posts for other phones.. Ive seen sprint users get snubbed when they ask questions ( rightfully so I feel the same way when other people are asking about K phones in the few sprints threads we have) since the tmobile dev is really taking off i think we are way past due for our own section ..to much different information out there for the different models now... lets but our requests here for a new section

I just bought my Smartwatch 3 today. Other than the bulky clasp, I'm liking it a lot. I know Lollipop is on the way, but is it supposed to be on 4.4W.2 yet? I'm on W.1 and when I check for an update it says I'm on the latest software.

Same problem for me so no 4.4W.2 = No GPS :crying:

Connected in USB to a PC, the SW3 isn"t totally recognized (Driver problem...) and cannot connect to Sony's PC Companion

All apps and Android Wear are on the latest version on my Nexus 4 (Lollipop installed)

Tried to reset and connect my SmartWatch 3 to my Sony Xperia Z2 tablet. No update available even connected to a KitKat Android 4.4

Tried this trick but didn't worked...

Reset the watch

While the watch is resetting, unpair watch in phone via bluetooth settings

Uninstall and re-install the Android Wear app

Pair normally

Once paired on watch, before even doing tutorial, go to Settings and check for updates
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dougi83:
Finally updated after reading XorZone [Guide] Soft unbrick/reflash stock firmware

Power Off the SW3 normally

Download and install PC Companion

click on "Support Zone", it will be downloaded,

click on "Accessories software update" and then you can choose SmartWatch 3 and PC Companion App waiting for a SW3 connected in USB

Start the SW3 by a long press on the power button until an image saying "connect USB"

Connect the SW3, the driver will be automatically installed.

Sony Companion App will detect that an update is available i.e 4.4W.2

Download start and the SW3 is updated in less than 5mn ;)

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJrmc:
Please excuse me if I'm repeating a prior question but it seems far too specific to trawl through pages of related threads to make sure.

I decided I was going to sit down and root my Xperia Z1....

Steps:

1. I installed ADB and Fastboot via the latest windows Android SDK (r23-.0.2), in fact I had to source a sony version of the fastboot driver in order to get it working but once I'd done that all went ahead as planned.

2. Generally followed this guide (wont let me post a link but google "honami cyanogenmod" and it's the 2nd result)

3. All was going swimmingly, I entered fastboot mode absolutely fine, flashed CWM using fastboot which all loaded up absolutely fine.

3. At this stage ADB was not picking up my device at all, tried different cables, ports, all of the usual. What I didn't do was make a backup, and then I wiped all of the things that it's possible to wipe thinking to myself that I was going to get Cyanogenmod on there so all would be fine...

4. Finally I (quite stupidly) restored from memory card (which had already been wiped) from inside CWM, the device restarted and now I am getting no response AT ALL.

5. Sometimes it will load the Sony 'splash' logo that first appears but sometimes not, when plugged in the device is recognised and ADB actually sees the device but lists it as offline... Interestingly at this stage windows device installer actually installs Sony ADB driver for me automatically.

6. All I'm getting at the moment is a red flashing LED although when I plug in via USB the device is again recognised when I type adb devices but again is offline...

If any more information is needed please, I will be more than happy to give a quick reply.

Thank you in advance

Were you trying to root your phone or install cyanogenmod? You followed a guide to install cyanogenmod on xperia Z1.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJrmc:
I was trying to end up with a rooted device running Cyanogenmod, I've been putting it off and off looking into the whole rooting scene and mistakenly dived in a little too quick without knowing what I was doing.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkiraProject:
after that you move cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-honami.zip to your sd card. Now you have flashed boot.img you can't move zip to your sd card using z1 you had to do that before using fastboot. use some sd card adapter and do it. then put the sd card back in your phone. turn it on then enter the cwm recovery pressing Vol+ for a few seconds when the sony logo shows up. select full wipe data. then install from zip. choose cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-honami.zip. reboot. ADB won't work until you have installed cyanogenmod zip. You have only installed cyanogenmod kernel and custom recovery when you flashed the boot.img.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJrmc:
Firstly AkiraProject thank you for your time on this.

I do realise that in my stupidity I could have loaded the cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-honami.zip to my SD card (if I'd had one or waited and gotten one).

What I did however was wipe everything I possibly could, and then hit restore from sdcard/0/ I believe - it may have been a different directory.

I believe what I have done is restored to a blank image......

WHen not plugged into usb I get a red blinking LED when just pressing the power button once.

When holding volume-up + Power the phone vibrates as if it is trying to boot but is unable to

If I leave it plugged into USB AND then press , the device shows the sony Logo and then proceeds to display a backlit but plain black screen, Sony PC Companion recognises the device as connected but is unable to interact with it. The output of "adb devices" shows my device but says "unauthorized" and windows is attempting to install MTB driver....

The behaviour doesnt seem to be quite the same every time.

I believe the device is soft bricked.... is this likely to be a case of a wiped partition table? Or at least loss of the boot partition?

If I leave the device plugged in via USB it periodically reboots itself, shows the Sony logo, remains on a bank screen then shuts itself down.

Shows in device manager as "USB Input Device" on win 7 x64 pro

I have done quite a lot of reading etc on the subject....

according to This thread, Sony Xperias have the bootloader in non-writable mask ROM... so you should always be able to access Fastboot or Flash Mode?

The problem I am having is that I don't seem to be able to activate EITHER Fastboot OR Flash mode in order to flash some new firmware onto my device....

My device is recognized as a "USB Input Device" on Device Manager and windows tries to install MTP driver. I'm going to have a go at the process with a fresh install of windows 7 x64 and 'windows auto-install drivers' turned off.

What is the maximum damage I could have done here?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJrmc:
Update

Hard reset (red button inside of the sim-card slot) resets the phone with three vibrates and it restarts.

The phone powers on and displays Sony splash screen and then displays a back-lit black screen.

The phone gets much hotter than normal and powers on to the blank back-lit screen when on charge.

I have NO ACCESS to flash mode or fast boot. Any combination of buttons leads to the same outcome: single vibrate, red LED and the phone shows the Sony splash screen then blank screen, as if the button combinations are just ignored...

Flashtool DOES NOT recognize the device, although it is recognized as C6903 in device manager (I have Sony adb driver installed and have disabled the MTP driver that windows recommends).

Flashtool gives me the red error text about making sure drivers are installed and making sure the device isn't in MTP mode.

I'm at an absolute loss as to what to try next, can somebody shed any light on this? There are plenty of guides but they all seem to rely on EITHER fastboot or flash mode and I can access neither although the phone powers on!

Thanks in advance!

Maybe the partition was corrupted when you flash "blank" image..........

So....JTAG....or send to Sony service....
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurokHunter47:
Shutdown with power+vol up (will vibrate thrice) and see if it doesn't turn on automatically.

If it didn't turn on now check your task manager on windows, go to process tab, kill adb.exe (every adb.exe)

Back on phone connect usb holding down the vol down button (phone have to be off before you connect usb), if green led turns on and doesn't turn off you are on flashmode.

Check on flashtool or flashtool64 (for 64bits) and see if flashtool detects your device. If it detects and recognizes your phone flash the FTF for your device and let it do its job.

As you messed the phone Sony will charge for repairs.
