[General Questions and Answers] rglewisjr:
I have a xperia z3, and 2 weeks ago upgraded to lollipop (5.02). All had been fine until yesterday. I lost all the contacts from my phone (calender also). This is very frustrating to say the least.

All my contacts and calender a have been syncing directly through microsoft exchange activesync for my business account. I am still getting email through that account.

I have tried deleting my exchange account and re installing without success several times. For some reason the exchange account is only showing up in email. I have tried adding the account to the contacts->menu->setting -> add account; also to settings-> accounts->add account. The only place the account installs is under settings->accounts->email (in this location, there is no option to sync calender, contacts, notes)

This is driving me crazy! I do to want to re-install my OS, but I can not think of any other options!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What are the benefits of s-off over just unlocked boot loader
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufakir:
by unlocking bootloader u can root ur device, can flash custom recovery & custom roms on ur android device....
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neutrondev:
I don't have this particular device but I will tell you the general information and you can work with that.

About Bootloader(Unlocked Bootloader):

The bootloader is like a BIOS of your PC. It is the thing that is powered on and verifies all hardware and is responsible for making connection with the hardware. This can either be unlocked or locked. When you have a locked bootloader you can still root (if an exploit is available). You can even install a recovery or custom rom if an exploit is available (like BUMP was). What was it doing? Signing the images for your so the locked bootloader will think it is the OEM image. In most of the cases this is not so happy. Usually you can't flash a recovery or a custom rom or stuff like that with a locked bootloader. Some OEM's provide websites to unlock the bootloader (with the cost of losing warranty; well not really). This is the case of Sony, HTC. Some Oem's don't provide this.

About S-off:

What does S-off mean? Security off. Your device will come with S-ON always unless it's a Dev edition (correct me if I am wrong). What this does is it doesn't leave you to do very advanced operations related to the EMMC (the Nand chip). You can't flash a bootloader you wish or stuff like that. Update radio partition. In some cases system partition is also secured so you can't flash a custom ROM. By S-off you get full control of your device but if a mistakes occurs you will end up with a hard-bricked device.

Peace. Hope you understood.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shad0wboss:
Thanks!

Things is, i was more concerned about the practical info about this device specifically because I have read that with just bootloader unlocked, the roms that i'll be able to flash will only change the visual and not so much with the kernel etc. I don't understand why people would choose to S-OFF for this device for other than just relocking the bootloader.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neutrondev:
Sorry I can't really help you with that information I don't know if you can flash a Custom kernel with S-on. Never had a sony. Someone will help you out soon.I hope.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shad0wboss:
i'l bump this question up then :/
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonysunshine:
I think S-off is a term unique to HTC devices. Its the equivalent of an unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monx®:
yes but nth to lose on HTC except warranty (still subject to which svc ctr tho) while on Sony, losing DRM keys (w/o backup) are like downgrading ur phone full capabilities.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Voiddith:
Is there a way to root without losing keys? I have Z3 LTE D6603 atm.

Sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm new here. And also new to sony rooting, which seems much more complex than my old Nexus 5 :( lol
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shan89:
Not really, you can flash kernels, roms ( aosp roms etc ) with unlocked bootloader, S-off gives you other stuff like changing mid, cid, sim unlock, downgrading/upgrading bootloader, converting to full GPE or dev edition, unlocking bootloader without need of HTC, flashing splash image, custom bootloaders, even converting to Windows ( if available of course ) locking it instead of re-locking it, restoring it to full stock state ( which is not possible without S-off ), simply put your device has no limits with S-off on HTC.

Anyway S-off isn't really needed unless you care for the things above ( if Sony even has S-off ), Sony has poor development so S-off isn't even needed or unlocking bootloader since basically all you get is aosp roms, stock alike roms are flashable with locked bootloader as far as I remember.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjezza:
I'm struggling to find a VPN app that has visible controls/menus - every one of the apps I've sideloaded can't be configured.

From reading the forums this appears to be something to do with the "3 dots" being removed in the 5.1 update - I've been on 5.1 since the day I set mine up so never had this.

Are there any VPN apps that have the controls on the main screen or are otherwise compatible with NP/5.1?

I'm also looking to switch VPNs so if anyone has a working VPN on 5.1 using a particular client's app, I'd be interested to know which service. Apparently PIA's, which I had hope for because the controls were on the main screen, doesn't work if sideloaded on ATV; not sure whether this was with 5.0 or 5.1 because authors of these posts didn't specify.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfl:
I got PIA OpenVPN app working.

#2: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-player/help/sideloading-openvpn-add-certificate-t3006778

Will only work with the PIA service.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjezza:
Can you access the local network (192.168.x.x) and/or SMB shares while the VPN is active with PIA's app?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfl:
Yes. Everything behind your router is local and outbound is tunneled VPN.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjezza:
it doesn't seem to be working that way for me. using PIA app and i can't access a web ui running on my desktop pc via sideloaded Chrome or any of my network shares via Kodi

any ideas?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfl:
You installed chrome on your nexus player? Make sure your player is connected to your home WiFi with dhcp, dont mess with the DNS. Launch your PIA app from chainfires side load launcher. Put your PIA username / password in and tick the save userinfo then click on connect. You should see on the bottom of your PIA app changing routes and then finally say CONNECTED. Hit your home button to get back to leanback launcher home., you may get a lean has crashed, just hit ok and get back home, PIA is still running in the background. Try launching a youtube video to verify you tunneled through successfully. After that launch Chrome via chainfires side load launcher. Navigate to whatismyip and should say your city and IP are different. Once you had verified go back to home and try to access your files again, if they are not there try and remap them. What are you using to stream home media? I have no issues within Kodi. If you are streaming through something else I'll mimic your setup and see what my results are.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjezza:
That's exactly how I've been doing it but its not working.

My setup is NP connected via WIFI using DHCP. Launch PIA app from sideload launcher. Hit connect (details already saved), wait for connected confirmation. I confirmed via whatismyip and ipleak that I have VPN ip (not ISP ip).

I can do anything that involves internet - youtube, web, video streaming, etc.

But nothing local works: I can't access a service running @ http://192.168.1.XX: port via Chrome and I can't use the SMB shortcuts pointing to my NAS configured in Kodi or browse the windows network/workgroup to find the NAS manually (no local network devices show up at all). I haven't tried adding a source using the NAS ip (but I don't see why this would work if the Chrome web service test failed). Both of these things work fine when the VPN is switched off.

Edit: some google research and a brief chat with a relatively clueless tech support person leads me to believe that split tunnelling may not be implemented in the PIA android app.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfl:
Man i feel like an idiot. I been watching stuff off an external drive plugged in via OTG. I thought that share was on my server. I am sorry to have been misleading. I really spaced on that.

My bad,

DFL
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjezza:
all good, i'm glad someone was getting involved at least :)

i think there are at least a couple of vpn apps that support split tunnelling, but until there is a way to use menus on apps that aren't designed for the android tv leanback launcher, i don't think there is a way to have it work on a stock-rom nexus player
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfl:
I would like to get that figured out too. I know on my RPI2 there was a workaround of sorts to get PIA working and has split tunnelling. Curious if the same method install would work with a few tweaks, though that will only VPN in Kodi. Ill mess around tonight if i get some time. let me know what you find.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjezza:
i've posted in a group run by a dev of one of the popular vpn apps so hopefully we can get a 5.1+ compatible version soon (he said it worked in his android tv emulator but i suspect it was running 5.0 and the missing 3 dots wasn't an issue)
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjezza:
not a promising conversation, i get the impression the dev is not willing to do the work needed to have the gui operational on 5.1+ android tv :(
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalmilitia:
are you able to access PIA app's settings? I have the app installed and running but unlike on my mobile phone there is no settings which I wanted to enable connect on boot.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AhmadKushairi:
I've been using my Nexus 5 for about 5 months now. Recently my phone have been having this "ghost touch" issue. My phone have a cracked screen so maybe that's the problem but I'm not entirely sure. Sometimes the touch screen doesn't work, sometimes it just presses at a spot repeatedly. The second problem is my phone sometimes dies at 80-70% battery if I play a game, use camera, or stream video. When it dies I can't turn it back on as it will die again while rebooting. It can only be turned back on by plugging it to a charger. Third is, when my phone dies or I shut it off, sometimes it will go to the "Android is starting. Optimizing app x of 152.". As I was typing this question, my phone rapidly pressed the recent screen button multiple times. Help is needed as I can't afford a new phone. The battery problem is really getting under my skin as I love to take pictures but I cant really do that properly with my phone connected to a powerbank.

I also use Timely. It worked great on my Nexus 5 but has been hit or miss on my S6. I can't always seem to snooze or dismiss the alarm from the lockscreen. It could have something to do with the lag of smart Lock not having the time to disable the fingerprint Lock.

Turbo Bootloader Update

[IMG="Get it on Google Play!"]https://developer.android.com/images/brand/en_generic_rgb_wo_60.png[/IMG]​

Now that we have root, the next step is having the bootloader unlocked, right? Well here is an app to keep track of just that. It may look a bit familiar to some of you...

Are you stuck at work and want to know if we have bootloader unlock? Are you away from a computer? Did you just kill a man and you can hear the sirens in the distance.. knowing they are coming to get you.. and need to know before you're canned.. "do we have bootloader unlock?" Then this is the app for you.

I decided to change up the root checker app to the bootloader checker to keep hope alive. There are still some working on it. Furthermore, there is a latest news section so that you can get a little more information than a yes or no. I also specifically chose to put this in the Droid Turbo General forum because it's mostly informational. Not much Turbo Related development going on here. Check it out!

Initially, I was messing around with Google's new Material Design standards I decided to throw this together. I then was messing around with parsing json in lua with Corona's SDK and decided to modify the original app. It'll be updated the moment the bootloader has been unlocked.

For those of you who aren't aware:

ROOT IS HERE! Go get it! Tutorial is here. Post is here.
