[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinora:
My phone is out of the return window now and dealing with customer service is probably my last resort.

My phone is on stock Touchwiz and unrooted, T-mobile variant. I have factory reset my phone 3 times and deleted the cache but these issues remain.

Here are some of the issues I have had. I am hoping they are software, but I couldn't find much information on any of them. If you also have experienced these, please let me know just to know that I'm not crazy and alone in this.

Camera app will be black on launch and crash due to an error. - This reminds me of the Lollipop software issue that I had on my Nexus 5 so I'm not too concerned since an update is coming out, but it is still bothersome when I bought the S6 for the fast camera launch but I have to restart the phone because I get this error. At least restarting the phone fixes this.

Phone vibration is inconsistent or weak. - The vibration was strongest when I first bought it, but it has grown considerably weaker. It still can be strong sometimes, but it fluctuates. Sometimes the vibration is so weak that I can't feel anything unless I put it on max strength under Vibration settings, but it sometimes fixes itself and isn't as weak. It hasn't been as strong since I first got it from what I remember. Restarting the phone does not fix it. It just comes and goes.

Phone does not receive or send sound when answering or making phonecalls. - This is hard to explain, but sometimes when I'm making a call, the dial tone will never sound and if the call looks as if it has gone through, there will be no sound. The person will say they received a call but didn't hear anything as well. This also happens if someone gives me a call and I pick up and hear no sound. A phone restart usually doesn't fix this, but sometimes it just magically works again.

Sound turned off by itself. - This has only happened once or twice so far but it was bothersome. I didn't change or touch any of my settings for this to happen. My sound just stopped working. Youtube app, volume settings, etc. didn't create any sound. When my alarm went off, it made no noise. Restarting the phone would fix it.

Anyway, please let me know if you have had these similar problems. Is it likely they are software related? I can't find any solutions and if a factory reset is not fixing it, I don't know what to do.

Thank you!

Return it
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinora:
I would, but I'm outside the 14 day return window from T-mobile. :(
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bramgg:
So? You have a faulty phone and these issues would be taken care of within your warranty period right?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlxxxsracer:
yes you can do a warranty exchange. theyll replace it
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinora:
I was hoping that I wouldn't have to go through the Warranty process but it looks like there is no choice.

Thank you all for your input! I'll see what happens. I appreciate it.

I upgraded from wm5 to wm6 and I used my backup calendar data from wm5 I made with SPB Backup but well its corrupt...

I can still read all the appointments but I cant add any, so well wm6 tells me to either restore or to delete the database :rolleyes:

I searched but without luck..

so my question is how can I delete the database of the calendar without doing a hard reset :confused:

(I tried syncing it with outlook but that was bugged too)

thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] vijay555:
Try SK Tools etc.

If that doesn't help, let me know.

I have the same problem - does anyone have any idea how to fix this? :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Hard reset or reflash. First WM6 rom I installed I did that and found no way to fix it without starting over. It was a quick lesson that you can't use a full backup between different roms.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeniaga:
Hi XDA,

Needed some help here. If you refer to the picture I attached, I'm not too sure if this consider as ghost touch or just faulty software or hardware.

It occurs only 1 day ago, been using it for almost a year now. Just updated to Oxygen OS 2 weeks ago without any problem until this happened.

I flashed to Nightly's CM12.1 today and the problem still occur.

Anyone knows what's the problem? Perhaps my last resort is to change the screen?

Thanks XDA!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeniaga:
Anyone ? D:
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrazyLex:
So this wasn't happening on OxygenOS?

Did you try COS 12?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeniaga:
COS 12? I'm using nightly's latest build of CM12.1 now and the problem is still the same. :(
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Argasil:
Try to restore e previous backup, if it does not work, do a full wipe (system cache ecc, also formati data if u want) and do a clean installation :)

Alright I will do it and see how it goes. Thanks a bunch!
[LG G Watch] markyboy81:
One of the most useful features of this watch I found is to set a timer by saying 'ok google..set timer for ...minutes'

However, this no longer works for me and when I try to do it, it just takes me into the timer app itself, which is annoying as it's a lot less convenient and also it's not possible to set certain intervals ie 20 minutes.

Any idea what's going on?
[LG G Watch] prototovsky:
I´m having the same issue, in spanish google now. My phone also has this bug suddenly. I´m getting crazy because I don´t know what´s the problem!

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

Alarms and Google keeps also aren't working...

I´ve erased the watch with no results thinking it´s my problem... but it seems it´s Google...

I´ve tried google now on other phones with the same results
[LG G Watch] markyboy81:
Thanks for your input. I suppose it's some relief that the issue is with Google rather than us. Just hope that this is resolved quickly unless it's intentional.

Hi, Hisuite application on my pc give me connection failed although i did everything , enabled USB debugging , reinstalled the driver and restarted mylaptop & my phone , installed the latest version of hisuite . so is there any solution for this problem please: ) .

i have huawei mate 7 TL10 and running windows 8.1 on my laptop
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Easy Computer:
i don know if this will help u but you can try to get a new adb driver? just search here

Sent from my HUAWEI MT7-TL10
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkot:
I've the same problem, my head was almost going to breaked from this app, so my suggestion is to follows this steps carefully:

1. Download "Revouninstaller freeware" Not PRO version (select hisuite you've installed, right click, uninstall, select moderate mode to uninstall program from it's root)

2. On your phone activates "Developer mode" by pressing 10-times on "Build Number" located at Phone Settings > About

3. Enable "USB Debugging"

4. Connect your phone to Laptop/PC via "USB cable"

5. Select on your phone "PC Suite"

6. On your laptop/PC, Autorun window with CD logo just close it, Go to "My computer" then "open the virtual CD" then open & install the "HiSuite package" came with your phone.

7. Don't launch the app, Go to install directory of the "HiSuite" in your "Drive C > Program Files" and locate an apk file contains the "HiSuite.Apk"

8. You should send that to your phone via "Bluetooth or E-mail, whatever you wish"

9. On your phone, After copying the apk app Locate that Apk, then install it.

10. Now open it, plug the USB, Now Open the HiSuite App

Don't do anything in the app leave it until it connect automatically by itself.

Note:

A) New Hisuite PC software didn't work with me because i don't have it's HiSuite.Apk of the same version.

B ) If you've installed HiSuite.apk from outside sources than the one came with your phone I suggest you delete from your phone via "App Manager".

C) I will upload my "HiSuite 1.8.10.apk" just in case if yours didn't work or didn't find it BUT Your PC Software should be of the same version I.e. HiSuite 1.8

Download link - http://www39.zippyshare.com/v/HavIU39W/file.html

D) If no option works, close both apps in your phone and Laptop/PC, reopen app on your Phone and select "connect via wireless mode" get the password, open app on your laptop/PC select "wireless mode" type password and press "connect"

Good Luck

How to connect to HiSuite

I could not connect, and landed in this discussion which did not give me any solution.

Then after much reading, I found the solution that unlocked things for me :

1.Go to settings/Developer options, and set "Select USB configuration" as Media Transfer Protocol(MTP)

2. Start Hisuite and lo and behold, now when I enable hdb, I get the dialog to allow hiSuite and am able to click OK.

Note that enabling MTP also made Windows 10 capable to access the phone memory through a window, like a USB stick.

I post this for others in the same predicament, hoping it gives them the solution
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalcoski:
thank you very much its working

II have just found hisuit.apk in C programfiles hisuite apk

send it to my self trough email and install it -allowing installation from other sources first(.

[Sony Cross-Device General] russel5:
Do it Compiling by yourself and all will works like a charm.

You guys so funy use only ONE repacked images for all other devices which have different resolutions and different kernel base :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] o-l-a-v:
UPDATE: Packed a individual recovery for each device, with /res folder and default.prop taken from [NUT]s XZDualRecovery. Installing amami CM with sirius recovery gets aborted..
[Sony Cross-Device General] belrik:
Does this work with the Z3 tablet (scorpion-windy)?

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] o-l-a-v:
It would probably boot, but installs of ROMs and similar would be aborted because device id on flashable zips would not match device id of recovery.

If you modify build.prop to fit your device, I bet it would work :)

EDIT: Made a img for tablet z3c. I believe both 4g and WIFI-version can use the same recovery (CM uses same device ID in their build.prop)

EDIT: Separate recovery.img is up for scorpion and scorpion_windy.
[Sony Cross-Device General] paratox:
could you build a second one for tabz3c with "scorpion_windy" device ID? the scorpion one does not flash cm12.1 on my SGP611.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kentexcitebot:
2 Bugs I found:

-Inability to shut off the screen. Even happens when device displays the power (full screen picture of battery). This bug doesn't affect [NUT]'s recovery.

-TWRP crashes whenever you try booting to recovery via charging cable without the system attempting to boot to Android (in other words, turning on the phone with the power cable rather than the power button). The only way out is to hard reset.

Using Xperia Z1 (honami)
[Sony Cross-Device General] o-l-a-v:
Yep. Asked in the Z2 TWRP thread, Z2 owners don't have these bugs. Might be because we use z2 related stuff (kernel base) for other phones. If I learn to compile in future this should be fixed afaik. But as far as i know, there is nothing I can do (in regards of repack with other stuff) to fix these bugs.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kentexcitebot:
I lack knowledge with TWRP+Recoveries+Pretty much a lot of things, but couldn't you repack NUT's recovery and try porting it to Lollipop? Maybe exclude Philz's version if it conflicts...?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Baron1971:
Hi,

is it possible, to make also a Version for the Xperia ZL?

[Sony Cross-Device General] sebarkh:
I tried flashing nthe last CyanogenMod 12.1 in TWRP but it failed.

I have a Scorpion_windy device. And TWRP didn't allow me flashing because it recognized my device as Scorpion (not scorpion_windy).

And it showed "wrong device" error.

I suppose it has something to do with the recovery that has the false info about the device....

the issues you're describing was present in first builds of 2.8.7.0. but [MENTION=4423274]o-l-a-v[/MENTION] fixed it (just for amami afaik) and its working flawlessly since.

where did you get your .img?
[Sony Cross-Device General] SdtBarbarossa:
Do me a favor will you?

Go to this twrp version

Advanced -> terminal -> select

Enter:

setprop ro.product.device scorpion

setprop ro.build.product scorpion

Then try to flash ... If that works fixing is VERY easy

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

That means twrp.fstab is faulty or missong
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ravermeister:
hmm I got it from the google download page here (filename is twrp-2.8.7.0-amami.img 28. June):

https://drive.google.com/folderview...PWU1wcFlKalpXSW9rRHVMX3lRckk&usp=sharing#list

is it the wrong place?

where can I find the fixed version?

@update:

yes, something is different from the two mirrors I checked the md5sums !

dbe50398c513d3eeef5edd1863fecd62 *twrp-2.8.7.0-amami.img <-- from google

879aaa074fa559deca6e86566e4a45ef *z1cfotatwrpv4.img <-- from mega

so which version is correct?

@final update:

I flashed 879aaa074fa559deca6e86566e4a45ef *z1cfotatwrpv4.img over the existing 2.8.6.0

from mega: https://mega.co.nz/#F!fh5hhL5L!xso7GESQ9AR556_nswFfTw

via

fastboot flash recovery z1cfotatwrpv4.img

and this version seems to work fine :)

so the google mirror is deprecated.

please synchronize the two mirrors and rename the file on mega correctly,

it is very confusing and many users got problems just because of these avoidable problems!
[Sony Cross-Device General] rzlatic:
i also assumed there are initial and fixed version mixed on mirrors. i don't remember which one i used. have the working version at home but im not near until monday.

try to flash one and another. i didn't had to mess with anything beforehand - the fixed version just worked right away after olav published it.

if not i could share .img i have at home, but not until monday evening.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sebarkh:
Thanks [MENTION=6248658]SdtBarbarossa[/MENTION]

Sorry , but it didnt work, I used "scorpion_windy" but somehow it still says this device is scorpion, and the package is for scorpion_windy.

It looks like it cuts the "_windy" when setting buildprop???

EDIT. I tried to change the buildprop to "dontgiveafck", and it just stayed scorpion as it was. setprop command doesnt work here.

Ok understand... I will have a look if im home
[Sony Cross-Device General] .corrupt.:
Has anyone tried to port this to the Z5/Z5C yet?

Edit:

So upon closer inspection of the images (which I hadn't done before), I noticed that they are completely identical for the ZX and ZXc series respectively except for default.prop and res. Which makes sense as they differ in screen size and device name. The default.prop files again only differ in a few lines, ro.product.name, ro.product.model, etc..

Not much surprisingly I could also flash the z3c version of this image onto my z1c.

So here's my question [MENTION=4423274]o-l-a-v[/MENTION]. Since not a lot has changed between z3c and z5c, can I just modify default.prop in the z3c version, add all values for the z5c and end up with a working recovery?
[Sony Cross-Device General] o-l-a-v:
I don't know. Try! You won't brick it, recovery just won't boot :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] SdtBarbarossa:
Send me an imagr of the default recovery and i will have a look
[Sony Cross-Device General] .corrupt.:
OK, you can flash it. But without a bootloader to boot into it, there's no way to work with it. And since the device comes with a 3.10 kernel, I'm too afraid to flash a CM boot.img running on 3.4.
[Sony Cross-Device General] SdtBarbarossa:
As far as i know Z5 has a own recovery partition... So if you have root acess and busybox you may grab me a recovery.img of the stock partition?
[Sony Cross-Device General] .corrupt.:
We haven't found a way to root yet. None of the one-click solutions have worked so far. And without a recovery there's no way to flash a zip. Ideas?
[Sony Cross-Device General] SdtBarbarossa:
Maybe... Can you boot into the "stock" recovery? May you have adb acess there?

Edit:

Normally it.must be:

Shut down phone...

Press Powerbutton + volumen - button

If phone vibrates release powerbutton but still hold vol -
[Sony Cross-Device General] .corrupt.:
Sony devices don't have stock recoveries. The only way to boot into a FOTA recovery is my modifying the init process to point there (that's what you see in init.sh in the CM ramdisk for example). I don't have enough experience to modify the stock init process in that way. Wouldn't even know where to start. I guess we have to wait for sony to release their kernel sources.
[Sony Cross-Device General] SdtBarbarossa:
Z5 series has a recovery as far as i know... Look again on my post above (modified it)

If not... Maybe look if sony already published the aosp recovery for unlocked Z5 ? ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] .corrupt.:
Tried what you said. The phone actually does vibrate. And only when using vol_down too. Nothing happens when using vol_up. But it does't boot anywhere but straight into the system. Interestingly it starts optimizing the apps again after that.

We're dismantling the stock firmware now in flashtool. Doesn't look like there's a recovery partition there.
[Sony Cross-Device General] SdtBarbarossa:
Maybe the bootloader must be unlocked before you are allowed to go to recovery ;)
