[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shareonline:
Hi everybody.

I've owned A LOT of Android devices, i think this phone will be my number 22 Android phone through time :D

I've also tried Iphone 3G back in the days (BVADR..), and a couple of Windows Phones..

Bluetooth music streaming in both Windows Phone and Iphones, are really good. It is so good actually, that i don't even bother putting in my AUX cable, because i can't really hear a great difference.

On any Android i tried (not with CM10 back in the days), there is clearly a quality downgrade! It must be something that bother others as well??

Now i know that the Bluetooth music streaming in Android is, well the most unacceptable piece of sh..t that ever was produced :), but it bothers me that the only Rom that fixes this, and keeps fixing it, is CyanogenMod. Don't get me wrong, i really like CM 10, 11, 12, but i like Sony's "skin/template" a Little bit better, and would like to keep using that.

I have however reached a point now where i will do just about anything to fix the bluetooth music streaming in my new car. So i will, if i have to install CM12 on my Z3 and Loose a lot of the great features (camera) just for the bluetooth fix.

Before i do it though, isn't there a developer in here that knows where to fix this in general for the Lollipop release? It would be really great to have a BitPool fix, where we can overwrite some system files, or install a zip in recovery, or a Little app that could set the BitPool easy for us..

I'm not a developer but do Work in the IT businness and will of course be able to be beta tester or help in any way that i can!

If a developer can even pinpoint me to which files i need to change, i can go ahead and root my Z3, and do it myself. Would even put in a nice PowerPoint guide (and i'm really not the PowerPoint guy ;) ), so that others can do it too.

Please help a frustated Android bluetooth user :)

Hi all!

Is there any way to regain system R/W access on stock lollipop rom?

Or is there any "fixed" flashable prerooted ROM to download?

I was on rooted 4.4 LB and flashed this rom http://xdaforums.com/z3/development/d6603-5-0-2-flashable-stock-23-1-0-690-t3056361 , ROOT is working fine without system R/W access so i cannot edit build.prop

Also, since recovery isnt working anymore it is quite difficult to revert to prevous 4.4 ROM.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad_max911:
"Turn off mount namespace, reboot, reinstall your choice of file explorer" doesent work for me, i use root explorer.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 6435605:
You must have an unlocked bootloader

Justo go here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/

Click on XZDualRecovery Kernel and download the proper kernel for your device. On Flashtool (PC/Mac) flash a previous kernel with recovery (just google it). After, boot your devie in recovery (it will not boot on system because of the kernel) and flash the file you have downloaded first. You should have R/W system access, but no recovery (kernel and recovery are links).

You can roll back to KitKat with flashtool
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad_max911:
Yes, only problem is that my boot-loader is not unlock-able. Furthermore i would not unlock it anyway because of DRM and warranty.

So, i am waiting for solution on LB and lollipop. Kitkat has full RW access to system.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 6435605:
So I'm sorry, IDK what to do with LB...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ondrejvaroscak:
Not true. I am on locked bootloader and have full system rw in lollipop.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad_max911:
I hope somebody figure this out... :)

Some are saying you need unlocked BL and for somebody you don't...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ondrejvaroscak:
My experience is that usually people are running into problems when:

1. Not following instructions properly

2. Altering instructions

3. Not doing clean wipes or installs
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furchendackel:
I had the problem, that /system was shown as mounted r/w, but after a reboot all changes were gone. I had to lower the SELinux policy to permissive, after that all changes were permanent. However, you have to do that every time you reboot, so if some add-ons (like XPosed framework) need /system r/w at boot time, you have to alter the kernel package. Since I went back to 4.4.4, I can't help you with the latter one.

Forget that, just try this:

Hello all experts,

Yesterday I unlocked my Tablet by Sonys site successfully.

I wanted to get root access and followed this guid today :

gadgetunlocker.com/root-xperia-z3-tablet-compact-advance-kernel

I did all steps and installed the superuser but after reboot Im stuck in a boot loop.

I really need help now to get out of this loop. I have tried factory reset and wipe cash but i doesen't help.

The one who can give me an idiot proof guide to how to get out of this loop with or without root access I will try to reward. I'm new at this so I need download links and what programs to use. I have installed flashtool now on my computer and fastboot is working. I can get in contact with the tablet in fastboot.

I have the Sony Z3 Tablet compact LTE.

Please help

Hi,

I am new to xda and to android too. I have a SM-G313H with me. I have been trying to find a way to root it on the internet. All the sites advise Auto-Root apps but none of them worked for me. :( So, it would a huge favour if any one help me to root my SM-G313H :D

MODEL NUMBER - SM-G313H

BASEBAND VERSION - G313HDDU0AOA1

BUILD NUMBER - KOT49H.G313HDDU0AOA1

Thank you in advance :) ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Demetermakarios:
You found the sol?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Demetermakarios:
Okk...I have tried all the methods to root this model SM-G313H...Every method failed...But at last i found the solution...I am describing step by step...

Firstly you have to download a few things-

a) Download windows version of KingoRoot(Not Kingroot!!) and install it in your pc

Link: https://www.kingoapp.com/

b)Download Odin for android preferably Odin v.3.09 for Samsung. You can download any version otherwise.

Now your objectives are mainly two things...firstly,You have to root your phone and then install a custom recovery.

Rooting the phone:

a)Allow USB debugging in you model by tapping the "Build no" a few times.

b)Connect the mobile with your pc with a working data cable

c)Run KingoRoot.exe. It will detect your phone and follow the instructions.You have to wait till the root is done.At 97/98 % it will ask for rooting in a prompt...you have to click ok..you phone will boot in recovery and after that rooting process will be completed...You can see "SuperUser" in your mobile screen.

Now your phone is rooted.Verify using Rootchecker. Now,the next job is to flash a custom recovery.

Flashing Custom recovery(TWRP)

a)Download TWRP file for SM-G313H...Download "TWRP_2.8.5.0_Vivalto.tar.md5" (Not TWRP_2.8.5.0_Vivalto_flashable.zip).

link given below:

https://xdaforums.com/ace-4/development/recovery-twrp-recovery-2-8-5-0-samsung-t3038601

After download extract it.

a)Switch off your phone.Boot in download mode by pressing 3 keys simultaneously : Home key+Power key+Volume down key

b)Follow the instructions in the screen and enter into download mode by clicking continue

c)Run odin in your pc and connect the phone with pc using a data cable.Odin will detect the phone.Click the option AP and select the TWRP extracted file.Check The AP box.Only 3 options should be checked...Auto reboot,F.reset time and the AP itself.Now click on start and it will flash TWRP in your device.

So,here is the full process regarding rooting and installing TWRP. Its fully functional for this model with the given configuration.Hope its solved but if you are getting any problem then you can ask me.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] #Devdroid:
Not working

I have done the same as you have described and flashed TWRP as per your instructions but after doing the steps when I am pressing buttons (volume down+ home+ power key) It is not opening TWRP but it is as same as it was before installation:confused:. It is only opening Warning Of installing custom recovery and showing press volume up to confirm and volume down to cancel as it was showing earlier:confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] Demetermakarios:
1.Please follow the steps properly. You have to flash TWRP properly using Odin.

2.Now,after succesful flashing first of all, turn off your phone. After that press and hold Volume Up + Home button + Power button for a couple of seconds. Release held keys when the Recovery mode appears on the screen. Now you will be in expected mode.(use volume up not volume down)

3.Now if you have followed all the steps in sequence and till not working please check Mobile Model no,Baseband version and Build no.

Hi

i bought a used Galaxy note 3 on ebay UK as the seller said that it was unlocked to any network

i am originally from UK but now live in Czech republic

so when the phone arrived i put my cz sim card into it and the phone has a grey screen asking me for a sim network code

i took the phone to a local service which can unlock phones - but the people said that they could not unlock the phone

as it has UK software on it and their methods they were unable to get the code ..

i tried to flash a CZ official rom onto the phone but it did not seem to work well on the phone..

unable to do any software updates - as it did not allow

can anybody recommend a place in London to take this phone to get it unlocked

or i have seem some web based services which offer to send a network code when you make payment

but i was unsure about this web based service method

right now the phone is useless to me until i can get it unlocked

no help either from the seller..

so i hope someone on here can point me in the right direction

thanks a lot

Hi Guys,

I flashed the latest 5.0.1 Lollipop firmware (N910FXXU1BOC3) last week to my N910F Note 4.

Everything has been working okay. Until yesterday where the phone is constantly awake.

I have uninstalled all 3rd party apps and booted into safe mode yet it still shows as constantly awake in the power saving settings section.

I have tried using airplane mode, removing the battery for 10 minutes . Restarting multiple times to no avail...... :(

Does Anyone have any suggestions?

hi ,

your above post reminds me of my experience recently,with........BOC3

i upgraded from Android v 4.4.4 to BOB4 lollipop ( dirty flash ,no wipe, no factory reset ,

no problems at all .My device was running smooth ,no errors etc. battery ok .)

Flashed fom BOB4 to BOC3, i resetted my device etc .root recovery etc .

for a while everything was running fine,after a few days ,i started to have a bad wakelock .

Device was awake most of the time .

Lucky i was able to id/pinpoint culprit with" BetterBatteryStats " and Gsam battery monitor .

It was a system process something with....... Samsung security Filezip log..?

As i had an old app on hand "DisableService"( root ) and traced the process and unticked 3 relevant processes ( lucky guess ? ) and my wakelock is solved .Battery usage much better etc

BOC3 is just as good and stable as my previous v4.4.4 and BOB4...!!

So sometimes dirty flash works ok and sometimes flashing,then an factory reset..etc etc does not help.!

good luck

Have this issue myself with a N910F on 5.0.1 BOC3 (N910FXXU1BOC3 - CSC TDP). Without much Screen on time i get about 50% battery usage after 9h (usually when I get home from the office). It's not bad, but I would still wonder what the battery life would be like if I did not have the device constantly awake.

I would not want to root the device in order to avoid tripping the KNOX counter.

Is there any way to find and remove the wakelock culprit without rooting the device ?

I updated to 5.0.1 BOC3 from 4.4.4 ANK4 from Odin, wiping the device before and after.

Any ideas on how to proceed without tripping KNOX ?

Thanks for the reply, but wanted to know what are you reffering to as google backup. Are you talking about the google sync for contacts, gmail, calendar, drive etc ?

Because on the device i have 2 google accounts that have gmail sync and another google account with gmail, contacts, drive and calendar.

There is a menu "backup and reset" inside settings. Where it syncs wifi passwords etc with Google...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolozaur:
Seems that the wakelock issue is a thing of luck.

I have disabled some more sync options and additional stuff like Multi Window and On-Body Detection SmartLock but i had the same issue with the phone being constantly awake.

Every time i disabled a new feature, did a phone restart. What i noticed is that sometimes after the restart, the wakelock problem goes away, sometime the phone is still constantly awake. So from my point of view, without rooting the Note 4, i can say it's pure luck after a phone restart.

I'm loving that now i see 23% battery consumption after 12h with an estimated of 2 Days left - without power saver. It sure beats the 50% consumption after 8h with 8h left. But i still have to admin, with a constant wakelock on the device, the resolution of the screen, the battery life is .. WOW :D

Alright so I'm dealing with a X98 Air ll that is dual boot - Windows and Android.

Android has the problem of GOOGLE PLAY STORE is not working, like at all.

The developers are aware of this but only linked to a thread on this forum, here's the guide on how to solve my problem, supposedly:

http://www.teclast.com/en/Information/newspic/image141216.jpg .. Since I'm a newbie on forums I can't post images so heres the full guide provided by user Frontier:

Okay so, this guide is really vaguely written and really hard to understand.

First off, connecting the tablet and downloading the files, running 1_Toolbox.bat and pressing E only refreshes the bat window. It doesn't give any confirmation or anything.. So I guess I move on ?

1) I downloaded the files.

2) I put the .apk files on the microSD card.

3)THERE IS NO UNINSTALL Google Play Store. No applications under "App". None. Zilch. Zero. I reset to factory settings and still no app to uninstall.

4) Did I miss a part where you put the microSD into the tablet? Because I did that but the tablet doesn't register it. Do I install it from the PC?

5) The MicroSD isn't registered, under Storage -> it also doesn't give me an option to browse the microSD.

In general, this whole guide is really written vaguely and written by, and to, someone who has development knowledge.

For a noob (At least to developming) this guide is REALLY bad.

Can anyone help me explaining what I should do ? :(
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] LS.xD:
At least its a guide and "could be improved a little bit". If google apps are system apps already you can't uninstall the apks without a dedicated app. Titanium Backup (e.g. for uninstalling system apps) and Total Commander(File manager e.g. for browsing sd card) are very usefull. Just copy the needed apks to your phone's storage and open them to install. You don't need to use a micro sd card for it ;)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] HowDoesIRoot:
Danke!

Do you know where precisely these apks have to be stored ? Picture of available folders. I'm not sure where to place, or run, the .apks (For Titanium Backup / Total Commander)

EDIT: Image
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] LS.xD:
I have a folder called APKs on my sd card. Just create a folder "APKs" to have all apks in one place. If you open the apk files in android they will be installed to the right direction.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] HowDoesIRoot:
How do I access the microSD card on Adroid (4.4.4) ? Picture
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] LS.xD:
you can use internal storage for the APKs. Have you tried Total Commander to access your sd card?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] HowDoesIRoot:
Thanks for the quick replies. Sorry for noobish questions.

I made a folder called APKs and put both Total Commander and Titanium Backup. Now I want to run Total Commander to access SD Card but I'm not sure how.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] LS.xD:
Has your phone any kind of file manager or may be a app called "documents" installed to open folders or files in your storage? If not you can enable "USB debugging" and install any apps easily using Android Commander from your computer while your phone is connected by a usb cable.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] HowDoesIRoot:
Ahh now we getting somewhere. I am learning a lot of things. I had an app called file explorer - from there, I could see what's on the internal and what's on the SD. From there, I installed Total Commander and Titanium Backup.

Total Commander works and gives me a great outlook of what's on the SD cart and internal.

Titanium Backup seems like a weird app. I don't think I can do anything because I don't have it rooted (?? EDIT: Pic ). I think I have to follow this guide, it's a ROM (??) that I have to install. Once installed, or the bios flashed (??) I will have to use Titanium Backup to uninstall Google Play Store I presume ?

Thanks for the help so far!
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] LS.xD:
I thought you were already rooted as the guide you used before told that your phone needs to be rooted to fix the play store. I have to do a little research how to root your android.

EDIT: Use iROOT
