[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pihkal:
[Solved, go to the solved section if you have the same issue]

Hi all,

so, after being fed up with Sony's sub par Android releases for the Pollux_Windy I decided to flash CM12 too it.

Ofcourse first I needed to unlock the bootloader, no problems here (yes, Ive backed up the TA partition before I unlocked it), second step, flash TWRP.

Looks easy enough so why not, so I've flashed the latest image for the Pollux_Windy but wasn't able to get to TWRP.

Hmmmm, strange, Oh well, let's check the CM site and look at the flash instructions, oooh...just flash boot.img from the CM zip and I'm good to go...great!

so..... fastboot flash boot boot.img (tablet in fastboot mode ofcourse)

Well, turns out that isn't the case.

After rebooting my tablet turned into a beautiful flickering TWRP splashscreen photoframe, I have to admit, it's nice and all with the pretty blue colors and stuff but it gets boring to watch pretty soon.

So, long story short, I'm stuck at the gorgeous, flickering every few seconds (looping probably) splash screen and am still able to get into fastboot mode.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's starting to piss me off real hard as you can probably tell....

Thank you very very much.

Info:

Model: Pollux Windy 16GB

ROM: Latest Sony Kitkat

TWRP: version 2.8.5.0

flashed using these instructions: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/185

[SOLVED]

-I managed to finally get into flashmode (volume down + connect usb cable whilst tablet is powered off).

-Started Flashtool, opened the stock Sony 4.4.4 Kitkat ftf file I had on my HDD and flashed it..

-Reboot and success, booted to homescreen without a problem.

BUT, I still wanted Android 5.0 LP didn't I, so...

-Copy CM12 flashable zip to sdcard

-Power off tablet and boot into fastboot mode. (Volume up + connect USB cable)

-Download Pollux_Windy TWRP image and DON'T dd it via ADB as stated on their site.

-Copy the .img-file to the fastboot and adb. folder

-Open a Command prompt and enter fastboot flash boot twrp_image_name.img

-Reboot into TWRP and flash the CM12 zip with it. (and you'd probably also want too flash some LP gapps packet on it to).

Tadaaaaaa!

Lolipop on the Pollux_Windy.

It appears to be running pretty good, feels snappy and smooth.

Regards

[Moto 360] TabGuy:
In November I had a problem where my Moto 360 battery dropped like a rock. About 50% per hour. After a couple of days I called Motorola. Very nice folks. I have a silver Moto 360 with a grey band. They said they'd send a replacement immediately and gave me a FedEx label to return my old one. The next day my original 360 was back to normal. I decided that I'd still do the switch just in case it was a hardware issue.

The replacement 360 never came. I didn't think much of it since my original one was working fine. About a month later I got a call from Motorola saying that my replacement watch was on back order. They asked if I wanted another model. No thanks, I said, I'll just keep waiting. January, same thing. Phone call, my silver one was on backorder, would I like another one. No thanks.

Then, in February the battery burn happened again. But, went away after a reset. They called again in February but this time to tell me that my silver with grey was still back ordered. This time I asked what models they had available for replacement. The only silver one was with a metal band. More expensive? I asked. No, just a one for one replacement. Ok, I said. I'm not a fan of metal bands but I have other leather ones I can use.

It came in two days. In original store packaging with a charger. As if I just bought this at Best Buy. Included was a generic brown box to return my old one. I called and asked if they wanted the old charger, too. Nope. So, I just sent my original 360 with the watch band in the brown box. Now I have a silver metal band and a second charger.

Thanks, Motorola, for great service.
[Moto 360] wilsonliang777:
The same thing happened to me. My stainless steek moto 360 with gray band had crack on the back. I was given a runaround a few times. I had to keep calling to ask for updates. After 2 weeks I got a moto 360 replacement with matel band n got to keep the charger .

Hi,

Is it possible to "assign a ring tone" to a contact. I have looked but can't find the option.

Rob.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikealder:
Select the contact you want to assign a ring tone to, then menu/ Edit, scroll down the list until you find RingTone a tap the stylus in the box, the pop-up contains your ringtone list, simply select the one you want - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] robquick:
Mike,

I dont get the "ring tone" option for some reason when I go into the edit option.

Rob.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikealder:
Rob, what make of device are you using?, when I select a contact then Menu/ Edit the following options are listed:

Name

Picture

Job title

Department

Company

Work tel

Work Fax

Work addr

IM

E-Mail

Ring tone

Web Page

Office loc

Home tel

etc etc etc

11th entry in the list is RingTone, tap the stylus in the empty field to the right of Ring Tone and select your tune from the list - this works on both my HTC P3300 and T-Mobile Compact III - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] g-fall:
contact has to be in the phone, not at the SIM card...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ_MY_SOUL:
I recently bought Samsung S5 G900F from a friend which updated it to latest lolipop 5.0 software, and after that wifi stoped working.

It was never rooted or etc. When i try to turn on wi fi i press button for turning on freezes and it doesn't show any wifi network. By my friends words it started after updating to lolipop. First i downloaded and flashed two 4.4.2 from sammobile and i there's no difference at all.... Second thing i found thread with latest modem on xda and nothing at all.

The only thing that helps for short while is from unkown reasons when i switch SIM cards it starts working but speeds are 200,300kb/s and signal is very low. And from some secret code went to wifi settings and turned off battery saving mode, it helped to now more often it works but for short while and slow speeds.

I don't have any ideas, what to do with it all sings show that it is software issue. Thanks in advance on replies :)

any chance of a dev edition? I have a note 4 that I can't do anything with cos it's locked (didn't know I had to bu the dev edition directly from Samsung)

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLMI:
I dont know if there's a topic about this or not but, guys after unpacked event i watched almost every galaxy s6 review but today i noticed something strange, in some s6 reviews s6/exynos 7420 did a great job but i noticed that there is some throttling issues-i guess-

as for evidence here is in this video s6 is getting score with almost 70k

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YlV0naJ3ZHo

And in this AP article its also a beast

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/...chmark-scores-leaves-htc-one-m9-in-the-dust/

But the strangery starts here

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=32tQpttKXMc

The device is getting a 56 k score and where the scores drop is mostly in gpu and a little in cpu

Also on this gsmarena article the s6 is throttled again i guess

http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_mwc_2015-review-1217p5.php

After all, test made on demo units with not final software but the question keeps in my mind that is the exynos 7420 has overheating and throttling issues, even on 14 nm, i don't know that it will be as bad as sd810 but i guess there will be some issues with Samsungs chip also

Here is also 2 more shots from two reviews

In this shot its in peak performance and its a beast

But again it's throttled in cpu and reduced cpu about %40
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emieltes:
I think it's something different. Those high scores are all achieved with the S6 edge(g925)'s, the lower scores are from the regular S6(g920)'s.

I think it's either that the regular S6 software wasn't ready yet or that the regular S6's weren't using the UFS 2 memory yet. As it seems that the UFS 2 memory is the thing that boosts the score (just like a SSD does with PcMark). Notice how close it performs to the M9 that's because they are very similar on the hardware side appart from the UFS 2 storage (and 14nm ofcource) that I think this preview batch of S6's wasn't equipped with.

I think both those reasons and especially the second one make sense and I believe the S6 will be scoring only >65000 scores in antutu after launch.

Also I don't think the cpu/gpu overheats or throttles as they are both running at much lower voltages than in the Note 4. So I believe there is nothing to worry about:).
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreeleyXda:
The s6 scored better than the edge tho in a few test
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emieltes:
I know but those benchmarks in which the S6 won dont take advantage from the internal memory while antutu does. So I think thats only a matter of unfinished software on both the S6 and S6 edge that is causing them to achieve different scores in the benchmarks that dont use the storage. The antutu score difference is another story though.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLMI:
Nope man, nit this time, not from flash storage, cuz this time there's literally no difference between models, all have same storage, same cpu, same camera,only difference is edge screen, and if you look closely the scores of s6 is also about 68-70k and there is definitely a throttling/overheating problem, just don't know that its software side or hardware side and will it affect daily usage or not i mean we don't koniw for sure if the throttling will be as bad as sd810
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emieltes:
I haven't seen a regular S6 (G920F) scoring >60k in antutu yet, only S6 edge's (G925F). And I know there is no difference in cpu/gpu and not even display resolution. But since the UFS 2 tech is brand new and only announched somewhere last week I have my reasons to believe They haven't used it on the preview batch regular S6's yet.

I just can't and will not believe that the 7420 throttles since the 5433 didn't and the 7420 is made on a smaller node and runs lower voltages.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeshmoe08:
The very first video on the OP shows both the Edge and the normal gs6. The normal gs6 gets around 68K.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreeleyXda:
suppousedly the note edge was better phone, now when im thinking of getting the edge version the regular s6 is scoring better.

i checked on youtube and people at the event testing the s6 got in the mid 50k range, but on here youre saying as high as 69k. can there really be that big a difference? surely the demo s6 phones at unpack arent that different from what us buyers are getting

hopefully by april ill be able to tell which one is better, tired of my laggy locked verizon note 4

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emieltes:
I must have missed that
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLMI:
Also it seems like there's a throttling in this scores to, cuz exynos usually scores about 5000-5400, but its not as bad as snapdragon as in the article

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duykhang524:
The funny thing is that even when it throttles, it is still faster at 56k than the SD810 which benchmarks 55k on the One M9...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLARiiON:
tomshardware.fr ran geekbench 6 times. After 6th run, the drop in single core result was less than 1%, and about 4% for multi-core.

So, NO, i am not concerned about throttling.

Don't forget there is still time to optimize further.

Did anyone remember how 810 behaved in Flex 2? Much much worse.

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

Before I forget, here's something about M9.

"Device temperate is too high. Please test again after cooling the device. Continue testing may cause system to restart or shut down"

Though remember that all these are done on event floor, where these devices are murdered by everyone. In any case, Exynos appears much safer this time around.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreeleyXda:
how the heck were people getting 60-69k then?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLARiiON:
What are you talking about? Explain :confused:

And please don't quote whole post with photos.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreeleyXda:
this.

how are they getting higher scores than all the other people who went to the event and tested the phones.

if its not throttling, then whats going on?

also why are the s6 and edge getting different scores when theyre suppouse to be the same specs (makes it hard to choose which phone to buy)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLARiiON:
What does M9 score got to do with S6?

Also, I don't like Antutu very much. Major reason is, the results are not repeatable. I will be more interested in Geekbench.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreeleyXda:
you posted geekbench scores for the s6.

tc posted antutu scores for the s6

ive seen varies antutu test from the unpacked event on youtube whose scores are way diffferent

just asking why all the scores (both test) vary so much. i cnt figure out which of the s6 models is the better model.

i didnt say anything about the m9 tho
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLARiiON:
The Antutu I posted is for M9, not S6.

Antutu results are never same. Over top of that, consider the following factors:

- Pre-release firmware

- These devices gets slaughtered by everyone in events

- They generally connected to power outlet all times - basically the worst thing to do for running benchmarks.

There is bound to be difference in results.

Isn't it obvious? Battery is basically the only thing that degrades significantly after one years time, and by making it non-removable, Samsuck can generate more sales and keep their shareholders happy and CEO gets to keep their job.

Samsuck don't give a sht about consumers like us, they only care about sales figure.
[Galaxy S6 General] thy.flesh.consumed:
Well, technically you can replace battery in an iphone, you just need a suction tool to pry the phone apart, and then you have to pretty much disassemble the whole phone to get to the battery but you could do it. It is entirely possible you will be able to do the same with Samsung, that is unless Samsung decides to go nuclear and designs a case that cannot be disassembled without being destroyed in the process - I guess we'll have to wait for an ifixit guide.

However, in the spirit, I agree with you, most consumers won't go that far to replace an aging battery, so it is planned obsolescence.
[Galaxy S6 General] Rippley05:
Lol. Yea. That's it...replacing the entire phone because the battery loses an hour or 2 charge time. Sneaky Samsung!

[Galaxy S6 General] geoff5093:
This is where the biggest downside is. Everyone is pushing for turbo chargers and wireless charging, but both cause your phone to heat up a lot, and we all know that heat degrades battery performance. Constant fast charging and the heat of wireless charging is going to make the battery die even faster.

It's like we are going back to a more disposable phone like the Nokia bricks of old. However, the more people get in on a one-year upgrade cycle, the less a degrading battery will be an issue.

they are probably thinking that the reason why galaxy sales are down is in part to the capability of replacing the battery, which is a valid point. Im the perfect example, im still rocking the S3 but im still on the original battery (almost 3 yrs old)

Planned obsolescence, Datsun tried that in the UK, they made the cars rust faster (you couldn't make this stuff up) by putting cardboard inside the door skin, the intention and the reality was to rust the car, they thought if it didn't last that people would keep buying new ones!

They didn't......

I dont understand why people worry too much about battery, LG, Google, Motorola, HTC, Sony, Microsoft and many more, Samsung is last in this league to remove removable from flagship model

<Mod Edit>
[Galaxy S6 General] tokuzumi:
Currently there are no real world reviews of battery life for the S6. So, any battery life woes are premature, at best. Not to say they aren't warranted, but until real world numbers start coming in, we shouldn't rush to judgement just yet. Plus, the majority of phones are being made without removable batteries (Z3, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, HTC One series (M7-9), LG G2, Motorola E/G/X to name a few...I won't mention that company from Cupertino...), and while reviews mention it, they don't harp on lack of removable battery. It just boils down to personal preference. I remember the heated debates 5 years ago, when the slide-out qwerty was going the way of the dodo. Now, no one mentions it anymore.

Plus, all phones are made for planned obsolescence. Even Sony wanted to release a new flagship model every 6 months.

Battery life in the S6 will probably be on par with other smartphones. And the battery will last for many many charge cycles. For heavy users, no phone will get them through the day. But with the amount of accessories people buy for their phones, I have no doubt the aftermarket will be there to help you alleviate your battery woes.
