[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adichandra:
hi, in the past i have used z3 compact and i dont like the sony's rom in it. i'm so much in love in nexus devices, but the nexus 5's battery life is horrible, and nexus 6 is too big for my taste. what i love when using the z3 compact ws the battery seemed to last forever. however i really love the stock google os and wouldnt want to use any other custom android os like touchwiz etc.

reading on some news, i heard that sony is releasing the aosp for their xperia devices? that means it's supported by sony and it's stable right? is it the right time to jump back to z3 compact and fash the aosp and have nexus like experience but with much better battery life unlike the nexus 5?

please enlight me, because i read in some aosp thread here, there are bugs here and there which don't make it for daily driver. thanks

[AOKP Q&A] SidedX:
I purchased a Blu Studio G today for $99.

I have seen a few ways to root, but my girlfriend insists I should not do so as there seems to be no real XDA thread even concerning any ROMs for the device, or TWRP, or anything even related to root.

Is there a safe way to root this device? Is there a relatively safe way to unroot? Is there custom recovery? Is there a way to put a custom ROM?

Thanks, and I am sorry if I posted in the wrong forum.
[AOKP Q&A] bitfed:
I also really want a solution I can trust. If it's not on XDA, I can't really trust it.

There is an app meant to root BLU Studio 5 that supposedly works but I'd prefer a little corroboration.
[AOKP Q&A] recklesslittlemario:
I used king root

I have the same phone i will state two things.

I used King Root and it did root the phone. (i bought this as an mp3/video player, so i had nothing to really lose.)

Also found that should be a factory rom available below.

if you google "studio blu g rom" it'll be the top link (xda won't let me post a link, i'm too new)

Your choice to wait on XDA or not.
[YU Yureka General] akbalumur:
I have no issues whatsoever with my eureka even after upgrading to cyanogen 12. However have 2 issues before and after upgradation as well.

1. When I connect my pendrive through otg adapter, the phone restarts and hence am unable to use pendrive with otg.

2. My Bluetooth headset ( Make Syska ) which was working fine with my Moto G, is not getting recognised at all. I tried a couple of other bluetooh head sets but without any success.

Please help me resolve these 2 issues.
[Moto X Q&A] Bionic22:
Using the app Ampere which detects charging rates of different USB cables, I found that Motorola USB cables give a consistent 590mA charging rate.

I bought some Anker USB cables which look and feel very durable, and they also give a maximum of 600mA BUT.....it does start to vary and it's not consistent. At times, the rate will go all the way down to 320mA and rise up to 590mA or it'll just decrease to 570mA and again go back up to 590mA or 600mA. It's not as consistent as the Motorola USB cable. As I'm typing this out, it went down to 330mA and now it's just been ranging in the 420-450mA for the past couple of minutes.

So has anyone found any other alternative cables and maybe used the Ampere app to check their charging rate?
[Moto X Q&A] hitman-xda:
Finding faster charging cable is bit difficult. Usually people don't use that app if there phone is charging normally.

If you want to quickly charge your phone, try using Samsung's charger which have a output of 2100 mA
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
I've never used that app.... Are you 100% sure it reads the input current at the port itself, rather than "surplus" current which is input current less any power the phone is using to operate?

Are you sure that app is 100% accurate?

I use Battery Monitor Widget by 3C and I see current fluctuations all over the place.

The 1st Gen (aka 2013) Moto X ships with a 1.15A (aka 1150mA) charger. I also have an older HTC 1A charger, the wall plug (aka wart) end of an iPad 2.5A charger, as well as my Samsung 1.5A and 2A chargers (for my GS5 and Tab 10.1"), either using the USB cable they came with, or various USB cables from Moto (shipped with several Moto android phones i have), Samsung cables (again from various samsung phones), and generic and other USB cables I have, they ALL charge at the As well as Moto and Verizon Micro USB car chargers.

My X charges at about the same rate, as long as the wall plug of the charger is 1A or higher, so long as I'm not using a "power hungry" app like Google Maps, streaming music across Cellular via Rhapsody, streaming video via Netflix or Comcast apps, etc. It doesn't matter what mix of wall plug and USB cable, or car charger I'm using either.

I also have a 1.5A Blackberry Playbook charger on my desk at the office. It too doesn't charge any slower or faster than 1A chargers.

If I used older Blackberry 750mA and 850mA, I then notice a slower charging rate.
[Moto X Q&A] d3athsd00r:
I have the same issue. I have a few different cables, but this cable at monoprice charges stupid fast.

[Moto X Q&A] d3athsd00r:
Here's some screenshots. The ~500mA is a random cable. The 750mA is the cable I linked to. This is all on a 1A charger.
[Moto X Q&A] AndroidOkie:
Personally I'd check out this product.

http :// www .amazon . com/gp/product/B00QTJZ3D0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (Can't post links yet even though I'm being helpful, so just remove spaces.)

I have this one right now and it quickly charges my phone. Two downsides; it'll start doing the "position your phone in a certain way" thing, but it comes with a warranty or you could just buy another one like I did.

Also, the cable is kinda short but an extension cord helps.

Anyways, those are my thoughts, good luck finding one!
[Moto X Q&A] Vivjen:
I have never seen more faster charger/cable than this one: ebay .com/itm/351145955499.
[Moto X Q&A] magnamentis:
ok, a few basics and an answer to your question of at the bottom of course :)

a) you cannot measure the current flow in app in real time really. to accurately measure your current = mAh you need a amperemeter which is looped in between the source and the consumer. you find them on amazon and ebay with ease.

b) you need to measure when your battery is below 90% charge because the charging is managed by software and only when the battery is significantly below 100% it will charge more or less steadily.

c) you have to test with the screen of because different content on your screen is using different amount of power, in general you have to make sure

that as much as you can do that the conditions are the same and that ideally there is some significant workload on the phone, for example if you can trigger media scanner manually that's a great consumer which will use all possible resources from source (charger) and cable. ( cause max throughput)

d) i tested about 30 different cables on wall chargers, on motorbike plug and in my cars and there are huge differences between the cables which of course can be reproduced, thus be measured repeatedly and with regularly same or very similar results. what is astonishing among my cables are several original oem charging cables from the same oems and even between those the differences are up to 100% ( or 50% if you calculate from top )

e) answer to your question, the best cable i have in my collection is: THIS ONE ! only downside, it's a bit rigid to the side because it has a flat form factor.

EDIT: just thought it might be helpful to provide a few numbers: bad cables provide around 500mAh, good cables around 1A(1000 mAh) and the best mentioned up to 1950mAh under identical conditions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Xentradi:
The developers thread was closed saying root was achieved but from what I read it was all using Kingroot and it was only temporary and they were only talking about the Verison Note 4 with no mention of AT&T.

So 2 questions

1. Do we have a good working root for AT&T Note 4s. By good and working I mean I won't have to keep running it every time my phone reboots.

2. If yes where can I find it?

help...

ok.... lot of things happening.... kingroot says i am rooted... step 2 didnt work but after keep trying it worked once and said successful but it didnt reboot to recovery....

then even the root checker says "Root access is not properly installed...." :crying:

what are my options all my data is backed up.......

:crying:

ok now i went ahead and used the flashtool to flash 5.0.2 ftf that i made from downloading the files using XperiFirm.

Its booting up right now and this will hopefully get me back to where i was before...

After this I rooted using the Kingroot app version available in english in the XDA forum (plz search for it.. sorry i didnt save the link).

Now i am rooted with Kinguser as the superuser app
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] faji:
Same here :(

No recoveries were injected but rooted :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] royalva:
At least we are rooted on stock lollipop... thats the good part... i have restored my titanium backups no issues.... i am rolling......:cool:

but can we trust the

kinguser

as the superuser app?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] VO7T:
Do I need to unlock bootloader before do this?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] juju legend:
No you don't, it can be used for locked bootloader. You only can used root access by kinguser not SuperSU and because it stuck on step 1, you won't have the recovery on your device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aegemino:
I made this account after lurking here forever as to help out fellow xperia z ultra owners. I got step 2 working after installing all the drivers on the flash tool. If step 2 is not working for you you lack the drivers . After installing all the drivers on my laptop and rebooting for good measure i tried again and it worked. It asked for permission to debug my phone and i was able to flash dual recovery and flash supersu aswell wich replaced king root. Then i removed it via titanium backup
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] juju legend:
ok, thanks man. maybe i miss something on the driver, will try it again later :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] faji:
I'll try that too :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aegemino:
Haha i installed everything i think even motorola drivers hahha. Guess i only needed adb ,commons and xperia drivers but it was 2am and i had a semi rooted phone in chinese so i just said what the hell lets install all of it. :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] royalva:
still not working.....

I tried installing all device literally all drivers (i had them before too). Restarted the machine and still have the same problem.

Here is a screenshot if somebody can help
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aegemino:
Thats diffrent from my error. My phone was not being detected by dual recovery. Yours seems to be a problem with root Permission. Try to reflash and install king root but try to run it twice. I remember i had to run it twice (or more) before i got rooted properly. Well i assumed that was the case cause i dont speak chinese.

The ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.installer file seems to be missing. Can you please re-up the file mate?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alvin Satrio Wibowo:
edited
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tejaswy:
I think I understand where you are going wrong. Here is what might help:

First, install king root, once the entire Chinese shebang is done,

Restart your phone

Navigate to the King Root app (this is a blue icon with the flash symbol) and open it.

If there is a green tick, then you are good to go. (This is important. Make sure you see the green tick, if not, it might not work)

Now, connect your device to the computer.

To ensure nothing wrong happens, install the Sony PC companion.

Once that is done, just to be safe, disconnect the phone, close the PC companion

Now, reconnect the phone (I am assuming here that your USB debugging is on)

Once the computer recognizes your device,

open the installer.bat file and in the window enter 1.

You will be asked for permissions, grant it on the device.

Once again, after the process is done, if the phone does not restart, disconnect the phone.

Reconnect it once more, and run the process again, now, it should restart in recovery.

Flash superuser.

Hope this helps!

when you get a chance look at this and let me know.....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tejaswy:
I went through the log, and that happened to me when I did not have the drivers installed and when king root was not fully done rooting.

Did you see the green tick after king root was done?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] royalva:
Yeah I saw the green tick. I have installed the drivers. May be i installed wrong drivers. which specific ones did you install buddy.

by the way my anti-virus is turned off, i tried different machines.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tejaswy:
This might seem a little basic, but have you tried changing the USB cable? Quite often, this is a problem. Some cables allow the computer to recognize the device but, ADB is sometimes a *****. Quite often I have found that using a different and often a better quality (and preferably shorter) cable often gets things done. Also, try not to connect the phone via a hub (or front usb ports, if you are using a desktop).

As for the drivers, I have just installed the sony companion from here: http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/

This is the only remaining thing I can think of!

i went ahead and got back to 4.4.4 and rooted it with kingroot and used flash tool and then recovery installer to get rid of kingroot....

then installed the "new rooted 5.0.2 with recovery" file using recovery.

now i have a rooted 5.0.2 with recovery....:good:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vaibhavrox:
I know about this too. Just Google for Kingroot version 4.1 it's in English and after rooting don't reboot. Download drivers from Sony website http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/ And search for your desired model number and install it by first by extracting the zip you downloaded for your phone then right click on inf file and then install. After that connect your phone to your PC then follow the steps (Step 2 and Step 3) given by the senior member. And you're done. There won't be any problems and you'll root successfully.
