[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxXorganXxX:
Hi all!

Here's the problem:

Phone is always trying to connect to and old wifi network I have created with my router (TP-Link Archer C7). This network is cancelled but my nexus 5 will try to connect with an exclamation mark. I have to manualy click in the setting to connect to the newer Wifi.

I have done a factory reset. No luck. I also switch to Rastapop, CM, Catalysm, no luck too. The old network is like saved in the google account but I can't remove it...

Have you experience this too?

Thx for your help.

Hey all,

After CM12 became stable, I was eager to try it only to find my In-Call audio mute during Calls. A temporary solution was to reboot. But this only worked for the first 5 mins after the reboot.

After a lot of complaining (to no use, I might add :/ ) and scraping the bottom of the internet, I finally found the cause and a fix for this issue. The fix is permenent though not recommended due to some users reporting wakelocks.

So if you are really annoyed by this issue.. Read on:

WHAT/WHY?

The issue is caused by a bug in the Google Play Services, specifically the CheckInService. This background service activates whenever the device is connected to the Internet (3G/WiFi). This is a serious issue though irregularly occuring.

TEMPORARY FIXES:

Disable 3G/WiFi and Reboot

PERMENENT FIXES:

Download Disable Service app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice ) from PlayStore.

Search for Google Play Services and disable the CheckInService specifically by unchecking the tick box.

Reboot

This should fix the In-Call audio of your device till Google fixes the CheckInService in Google Play Services.

I hope this helps all those affected and do reply with your findings and whether this solution worked for you.

Thanks and Regards

Krishna Sagar

You say bug in play services?

Same services in stock Firmware has no problem,.

It's a bug from services, 5.1.x or cm?

I use xt1068 with cm 12.1 and 1 sim, bug come 3. day after fresh install and full wipe

Reboot fix this again, how long? I report...
[G 2014 General] KrishnaSagar:
Try this and report back. It is a bug with CheckInService. Do not comment without trying. Thanks.

PS: I do not post without trying! I tried it and it worked for me. So I'm sharing.
[G 2014 General] GuestK00247:
Temporary fix, i don't disable WLAN vor 3g, reboot works by by me fine!

When bug come again, i will test your fix and report, but i think its to easy say only Google services!

Luk, shawn. luca or other devs can help here....
[G 2014 General] KrishnaSagar:
That is because after reboot the CheckInService isn't invoked right away... Whenever the service is invoked by the system, the bug occurs. Hence randomly the bug occurs.

Also CheckInService doesnt invoke when the device isn't connected to the internet.
[G 2014 General] ArmStrongDickPunch:
Confirmed worked for me thanks!!
[G 2014 General] GuestK00247:
In last days, i habe no problems, after reboot and update to 20150504 works Firmware fine

I habe not change in systems, only reboot and update for 6 days, and this works too
[G 2014 General] ArmStrongDickPunch:
So this fix is no longer working for me didn't change anything just updated my ROM (blisspop) and its back :( any suggestions ?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtualflyer:
I'm choosing my new phone and the one think that bothers me of the Z3 (except the badly assembled unities) is the lack of development and I just can't see a reason.

I see really few roms and most of them are just stock with some tweaks.

I don't want to immediately change it, but I cannot understand the reason why
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] festizzio:
Just conjecturing here, but maybe it's because the camera doesn't have the same functionality on a custom rom, and I know at least I'm perfectly satisfied with stock and Xposed.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTeslaCoil:
Stock is awsome.

We [SONY users] like to keep it simple.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:
because there is no real need for all those custom roms, most of the custom roms for devices are aosp based with 1 or 2 different tweaks/changes, stock sony does everything it needs to
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jassalmithu:
As others already said, usually custom ROMS are made for better battery, themes, customization but the stock ROM gives you 2 day battery, the official ROM is as close to stock Android as an OEM can get. and with xposed modules and all the mods available, you can customize to your hearts content and basically have a custom ROM of your own.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vittogn:
I agree with your view. There is no need to have AOSP roms like with Samsung and LG.

Having said that, pure AOSP is cleaner from a design perspective and CM/PA/Omni are even better than Sony from customization and features.

In my opinion the fact that the Z3 is not selling like other flagship (unfortunately) is attracting less devs.

The initial lack of root with locked bootloader (and linked full go back to stock fall back) slowed down the appetite for modding on this device.

If the Z4/Z5/Z3+ will not be launched soon, I think we'll have a solid H2 2015 in term of roms.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Two reasons I can think of:

1) Sony's stock firmware is awesome, so some developers just get lazy and stay on stock because it's one of the few stock firmwares they can tolerate. I'm one of the founders of Omni, and my Z3 holds the record for the longest time I've ever stayed on stock. I'm working with the Sony AOSP team on bugfixes, eventually Omni will be coming based on Sony's AOSP work

2) While Sony does a GREAT job of supporting community developers, the fact that they have that stupid 6-month release cycle for flagships spreads things thin. Some people have the Z2, some have the Z3, some still have a Z1 and are happy with it and see no reason to upgrade. It didn't help that in some countries, Sony took so long to release devices that the next device was already announced. (Z3 was the first device released in a timely fashion in the USA, and that was still a 1-2 month delay.)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vittogn:
Understood.

I made my post clearer.

"Having said that, pure AOSP is cleaner from a design perspective and CM/PA/Omni are even better than Sony from customization and features."

You can say everything good about Sony roms (and I do like them) but the fact that CM/Omni has more options to customize and make the device to fit more your needs, is a given IMHO. With some caveat unfortunately (camera quality, battery life.........).

Wait for [MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION] to finish his job and you'll never go back to stock!!!!

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

Agreed!

And you point nr 2 equal to a lower commercial success than other flagship.

LG G2 and Galaxy S3 (with its infamous Exynos silicon) had a much better AOSP based roms than the Z3 in the first 8 months of its commercial life.

3.10 Kernel Omni 5.1.1 has to come to the Z3!!! And of course I'm not asking for an ETA!! :crying::crying::crying:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
Guys keep it simple.

Tre truth is, Omni rom, pa, cm, any other gives you more control, this is true.

But its also true that sony stock rom is among the best in smartphone world, honestly i tried many custom roms on Xperia Neo, Arc, Arc s, S, Z1, Z3...but always ended to use stock one. Why?. Keep it simple, i like minimalistic sony stock rom, animation and it has all i need. And this thought is shared by many.

If you need few more things, root and instal exposed, there is no need for custom roms.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Thread cleaned

Keep it friendly
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vittogn:
Agreed.

My only concern is that AOSP has some better element from a style prospective (dialer, settings, contacts).

They could have stick with that style fully and add their useful stuff.

This is the only reason why I'm after a good rom, but in a very relaxed way as I like stock rom a lot.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinitylook:
This may be unrelated but since Sony is releasing AOSP drivers. How is the camera quality on custom roms compared to stock? As I understood they also released drivers for camera right? Low light of course won't work since it requires DRM but how about on daylight, is the picture quality of custom roms the same with stock?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vittogn:
Unfortunately camera is the worst part so far. Quality is lower than stock and it produces (regardless the camera app) a fisheye like distortion.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
The understanding I have is that currently right now, since the camera sensor is pretty much shared with everything from 4.3 onwards, CM is using the same 4.3 HALs for all shinano/rhine variants with the IMX220 due to the various issues with 4.4 and later HAL blobs on many devices. cdesai found what is likely the key issue behind 4.4/newer HALs totally failing on locked devices, but there's potentially a more "ideal" solution being worked on that hasn't been released yet so cdesai stopped working on that to focus on other stuff. (As I understand it, you can blame lawyers for it taking longer than we'd hope...)

The Z3 has the same sensor but slightly different optics than the Z2/Z1 - as a result, the camera HALs work but have focusing/distortion issues because they assume the wrong lens. (Smartphone optical systems need heavy vignetting/distortion correction by the HAL.)

If that "ideal" solution doesn't materialize by the time I fix the other higher-priority issues with z3 on my TODO list, I'm going to attempt to continue cdesai's work using 5.0 HALs that are device-specific.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vittogn:
That's great to hear.

Can you list what are the otherwise bugs you're working on?

Z3 AOSP (and Omni):

Pixel corruption on AUO panels

Issues with Bluetooth reconnection on BF64 kernel (walk out of range of the phone with a Moto 360 and it won't reconnect until you reboot.)

General Omni:

CAF av/native ifdefing (this nightmare is the one thing blocking nightlies)

Preliminary work on a new theme engine more capable than Layers but still much lighter weight than CMTE.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rypemaster:
One reason not mentioned in this thread in support of custom ROMs is the ability to not have any gapps. Despite how good the stock UI is, an AOSP based rom will be required if you want extra privacy.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vittogn:
That doesn't sound bad at all!!

Is pixel corruption the fish-eye camera bug?

Hope to hear for a bug free Omni soon.

Is the recenlty announced Sony recovery support going to help you guys or it will be just a better flashing experience for end users?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Makes everyone's lives easier.

And the pixel corruption is a display issue, specific to 3.10 kernels and the Z3. Fixes have been identified for Sharp and JDI panels, but AUO panels are harder. (In general, there are a lot of issues with 3.10 and command mode panels. All sirius panel definitions were for video mode, leo has 5 panel definitions - command and video for sharp and JDI, but only a command mode timing definition for AUO panels. So we need to either figure out why command mode panels are so funky - we've made a lot of progress but not fixed everything, or we need to reverse engineer a proper video mode timing definition for AUO panels.)

I haven't even started on camera. I hate cellphone cameras so I've basically lived without any camera at all on my z3 for the past two months. If I really want to share a picture from my phone - that's what my a6000's wifi is for. :P
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vittogn:
Thanks for the update. I sold my 5d for an a6000 because of portability.

I don't consider phones as camera alternatives, but they are better and better and you always have your phone with you. The Z3 sensor and lenses combination deserve a good treatment!

Overview: Install SlimKat, Kangaroo kernel v2, Gapps (optional). This guide is for ext4. I struggled all day trying to get this to work. I tried Autodroid, Kangaroo v2, CM12.1, etc, and finally found a winning combination. This will be going in my vehicle in the next few days. I plan to use Llama to turn the screen/wifi on and off automatically. I will update this post with any additional findings that may help for an in-car install.

1. Boot into recovery (TWRP 2.8.6.0)

2. Wipe => advance wipe => check: Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage => Swipe to Wipe

3. Back => back => back => Reboot => Recovery => Swipe to Reboot => Do Not Install

4. Connect USB to your computer after TWRP returns.

5. Copy (using your file manager or adb):

6. Flash them in the above order.

7. Reboot.

Currently I am using the I/O scheduler "row" with the CPU governor "performance".

The cable I am using is a Tendak Right Angle OTG Adapter w/ USB Power from Amazon. I went to look for the link from my order history but it is no longer listed. The USB power part of the cable only contains the power wires.

Subscribed, since I too have recently installed a Nexus 7 in my car.

Interested to see what you will use for your volume control. Onscreen or will you go about using physical button on DAC, or pre-amp etc.?

What DAC are you using?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husseinb:
behringer uca202

I am going to look into how to add buttons to the nav bar later tonight, dinner time. IIRC xposed framework has a module for this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eaponte23:
I looked into xposed and didn't find anything that worked for me. Maybe you will have better luck

Goodluck:good:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husseinb:
OK, so I had to install an Xposed module to get sound out of the DAC. Works fine though and hot plugging works.

For volume, so far I have managed to add a shortcut to get to the volume pop-up.

Settings => Navigation => Navigation bar => Buttons => +add => Custom app => Slim shortcuts => Volume

I also added a button for the quick settings panel.

For Xposed modules, so far I have tried Xtended NavBar. The "left page" of the navigation bar provides backwards/play/forwards buttons.

Will continue trying to figure out the menu / volume situation. Since you can add 2 more buttons, we could write two different apps - one that increases the volume by 1 when executed, and another that does the opposite. That would indeed accomplish this task. Two additional apps for long presses to mute and ramp up volume. Maybe this could be accomplished in tasker or another similar app. I would ideally like to add a rotary USB knob - but there does not seem to be a complete solution w/ Android support at this time.

Additionally or alternatively, I was thinking to add a small circular Satechi remote that has +/-, forward/backward, play/pause, like this, that I could stick somewhere on my dash. However, I prefer the look of this bigger more traditional Satechi remote that has 0-9 number keys. The problem is, it appears to be more of a pick-up in your hand and operate remote.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husseinb:
I received the Satechi Media Remote and Satechi Home Button in the mail today. I am very happy with their appearance.

Here is what they look like:

[IMG="Satechi Media Remote"]http://cdn.satechi.net/media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/300x333/149a3cd4095a5b196bb51c4b8b6ad904/m/u/multimedia.jpg[/IMG] [IMG="Satechi Home Button"]http://cdn.satechi.net/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/300x300/e4708fcfdb5df2a54165706dbe9b2758/h/o/home_1.jpg[/IMG]

The first problem I had was that the home button was not working. I think this has something to do with the Nexus 7 not having a physical home key and the framework. It worked fine on my Note 2 which is running the same version of Slimkat. It also worked on my Ubuntu 14.04 computer.

After some searching, I installed the Xposed module Xposed Additions. That enabled the home button remote to work as expected. With this module you can even map the home button to act as a power button when the screen is off. Wow!

If you wanted on screen volume buttons, you could try an app called Button Savior. I only had it installed for a minute while testing but it did offer on-screen volume.

On the Satechi media remote, if you hold down the + / - button it continues to adjust the volume until you let go.

I plan to order their third remote in the series, which has a picture of a camera on it and remap the button!! You can do that by making a keylayout file with the vendor and product ID, which by the way, appears to be the same for both the remotes I have.
