excellent, make a back up then it will be easier to recover in the future
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] _Perihelion_:
So I have quite a dilemma here. My Z Ultra was the best thing ever in all of the phones I owned. One day I took a shower, and it rang and I answered it and it dropped. The side panel where the SIMM and SD card slot opened then and there, so I believe it may have water damage. However, things took a turn for the worse when all I could do was get the sony screen to boot. Nothing else. I tried an ensemble of button combinations to get it to boot into anything beside the Sony logo, but to no avail. A couple days pass and now all it does is show a red light when plugged in, and vibrate 3 times when in the Power + Volume Up combination. PC Companion didn't help me any and Windows doesn't recognize it, either. I have no experience with hardware of the mobile kind to figure out this problem, or to go about doing so at this point.

So XDA Community, how boned am I?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
If you have windows 8.1 you have to disable driver signature verification. And install the drivers. If I remember I think red light is bad battery

After taking a day to learn how to do such, I am unable to do so. I did download the FlashTool and all that jazz. Nothing.

Pardon the late reply, work beckons and stuff.

For a class project I decided to load a custom ROM on my Sony Xperia J ST26a. I have bought it from Bell and the way my contract and phone is set up when I enter *#*#7378423#*#* --> Service Info --> Configuration --> Rooting Status : bootloader unlock allowed: No

Is there an easy way around this? :confused:

[Xposed General] farfetch:
Hey Guys, I have a N7 2013 with last Stock 5.1.1 fw.

I deep-cleaned it a couple of days ago. I set up Xposed regularly and it was ok.

Yday I restored a couple of modules (Titanium Backup) from my Note4 (5.0.2) and I had a bootloop.

Googling the net, I find out that sometimes Xinstaller could get you into bootloop and i also read that a solution could be to remove /data/data/xposed.installar.stuff/config/modules.list with TWRP.

I just made it, it booted fine, but I have no more framework installed :/ The installer says it is not enabled.

So I tryed to flash it again, and also to install the installer again. But again nothing.

Could you help me please?!

Davide.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkmcguire1:
I really wanted to love this phone,I loved how it looked, read all the reviews and then.. I did the initial set up downloading all my apps,it froze multiple times, had to reboot,apps keep crashing,the app drawer keeps disappearing and then showing back up..and the LAG, where do I start? My spare back up a ZTE ZMAX runs better than this phone. I factory reset and still the same issue ! The screen freezes at random times throughout the day. After a week with it,I'm done! I just purchased a Asus Zenfone 2, which was my other choice,hopefully I'll have better luck. I don't know if I got a dud,or if other people have had better experiences but for me I can't keep a phone that I have to restart multiple times a day just to use and then even then still runs slowwwww.....
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shodan5150:
You should try exchanging it for a new one first. Sounds like you just got a bad unit. I have very few issues with my unit. I would try a new one and if that doesn't work out then get the ZF2.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stl1859:
Same sentiments here - it does look like you were unlucky and got a bad unit. I am not going to say this is the best phone money can buy - but after more than two weeks of usage - I have not had any of the symptoms you are describing. App loading for me has certainly been slow - but that is pretty much the only performance problem I have had. No freezing or crashing - at all. And for the past week, the double tap issues has disappeared as well.

One thing - if you experienced freezing when updating all the apps during initial setup - that is a common problem I have faced with other devices and ROMs as well - and can be fixed by clearing cache and data on Play Services - and other Google apps.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandypuff:
I can't say i've had any issues with this phone other than the double tap to wake not working at random times. I paid $200 on preorder so i can't complain for the price. After coming from a GalaXY SII, this phone is great. Now I only wish someone would figure out how to root it. That and I wish Alcatel would update it to 5.1 but i'm not holding my breath for that one.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamcwingert:
I agree. I have tried to enjoy the phone mainly because of the awesome speakers. But mine freezes and lags too bad to continue. It takes apps 5-10 seconds to load every time. I am done.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psu2fan:
Which apps? I just tested 12 random apps and while it is on the slow side, on average I'm getting about 3.5 seconds to open an app. Slacker radio was the longest at almost six seconds but it took at least that long on my HTC one m7. Also at what points does the phone freeze? Have you tried a factory reset? I haven't had a single freeze on mine, as others suggested maybe you got a bad one.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkalli:
No freezes here.

Apps load a little slow but never more than a couple of seconds.

hopefully when sources are released, things will improve.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karly Johnston:
I didn't have any of those issues. Just return it to Amazon and get a new one, their customer care is excellent.

While driving bluetooth stops or some time lag voice if wifi is on. same issue noticed without wifi enable also but very less.

It seems whenever wifi changes to different network or connects or disconnects bluetooth is loosing or lagging voice.

Where as if i put it on speaker i can hear sound from speaker. I tried 5-6 different bluetooth and having same issue. i got replacement of phone also but same issue with new phone also. I could verify with older phone and it seems issue is only with Idol 3. Is any one else facing similar issue?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stl1859:
I tested this using a Bluetooth headset, and I am unable to replicate it. Turning WiFi on and off has no noticeable effect on playback via a the Bluetooth headset. Unfortunately , I have no way to test this while driving .
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attitude_it7:
This issue is mainly happening while driving. It seems like while driving phone tries to goes from LTE to different modes and same with wifi as it tries to connect to different wifi. In this process it starts to lags voice on bluetooth and in few cases sound get disconnected.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psu2fan:
Are you listening to music on your phone or streaming?

I haven't had any issues while driving using both Google music and slacker. Those are the only two streaming apps i use tho. I leave my Wi-Fi on all day. My deck is a Bluetooth pioneer unit, though the model number escapes me at the moment. I'm on T-Mobile BTW.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shodan5150:
I don't drive anymore but I stream Rhapsody overnight onto my BT speakers and it never has conked out on me yet. There was one time I did lose the BT connection to the speakers before I did the factory reset but no issues with the BT since.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attitude_it7:
Issue is not with listenting music, it is during call through bluetooth while driving and having wifi and bluetooth both on.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psu2fan:
OK I'll test that later on today. How often/with what frequency does it happen to you?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attitude_it7:
Almost 2 out of 3 attempts i am having this issue. even now in home i started call on bluetooth when wifi was off, then just put wifi one during call and voice from bluetooth started to get blurry and then other party could not hear me. and i had to disable wifi and then disable bluetooth and then on bluetooth again in phone.

Seems like issue is happening when phone is trying to connect to wifi and call is on bluetooth...

I'm having kinda' the same problem. The thing is everytime I connect/disconnect there's a general lag in the phone! after one minute or so, it starts working ok
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famewolf:
It's possible the bluetooth is unreliable because the phone gets busy as you indicated...I posted a couple of apps in the idol 3 apps section that help reduce lag and may help this...

Something I've done has made my bluetooth totally unreliable....whether linked to car or home phone system I can answer...talk for a few seconds and then it transfers the call back to the cell instead of the bluetooth device. I'll have to go back through my backups and find a version that doesn't do this.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chazmo:
I have demonstrated the same effect with my bt device (lg). When switching wifi networks bt microphone stop receiving so other party cannot hear me and the audio begins to break up and lag. I can switch off bt then back on and am fine till next wifi switchover. I was hoping the update from Alcatel would address this, was not the case. ;(
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dilipreddy:
I also had the same kind of issue while listening music in car using Bluetooth, strangely it is happening when the WiFi try to connect to open WiFi available. And when that open WiFi is not able give internet accesses, then the phone just get stuck for some time. I have these issues frequently I need to restart my phone
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skisom:
I just purchase Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 and and am having similar problem. I had a Plantronics M50 connected and people complained that I was breaking up and they couldn't hear me and it happened on my end sometimes too. When I'm calling someone, the ring will be normal at the beginning of the ring and then it will fad out at the end of the ring. Store rep told me this was normal. Has never done it with any of my other phones. Bought another bluetooth to try to determine if it was the bluetooth or the phone. Bought the Plantronics E50 and the same thing happens. Alcatel says it's the bluetooth and Plantronics says it's the phone. Betty at Alcatel also says the Plantronics bluetooth are not compatible with the Alcatel, however, the store sells the Plantronics Marque II to use with the Alcatel. Anyone have any suggestions or having the same problem?

There's a problem with the phone. It happened after the last Android update. My bluetooth was fine until marshmallow. It's so bad I went back to my Galaxy S4. I loved the Idol for just about everything, but horrible bluetooth. People can't hear you, it's a deal breaker.

https://twitter.com/Motorola/status/607934001500852224 so yeah, fellow Turbo owners. Lets blow this up tonight and show we arent a tiny fragment of Moto users. Or not. The reality is we need to make our voices heard. Maybe Moto will listen. Probably not. But hey, its live. Might be fun.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] SirBindy:
Stock is... stock. It's the closest thing to vanilla android without buying a nexus, which is what I wanted.

If you wanted something more exciting, you should've bought a more exciting phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
I'm guessing that the OP means an unlocked bootloader and root access for custom ROMs, that kind of stock boring like stuffs...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
Indeed. Unfortunately, I didn't buy this phone. Moto sent it as a replacement for my Dev Maxx. The Turbo owners that dont have the same mentality perhaps would agree. it blows to be stuck if you want more than that out of android. isnt that what android is supposed to be? open, free?

[MENTION=1714682]Wynnded[/MENTION] is hitting the nail on the head. best hardware ive owned. the software is my qualm.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
here is the reality, though: Bootloader unlock isnt allowed due to Verizon not wanting to give support (and replacements) once the inexperienced do something dumb. (flash wrong device files, delete partitions that are necessary, etc). while i can understand that angle, i, and most people that frequent this site, am/are knowledgeable enough to not end up with a brick, and also, in that event, would never turn to VZW or Moto for help, as they are useless. Aesthetically, this phone is great. Hardware (minus those pesky qfuses) this is a great device. i love the Turbo. Having no justifiable reason for bootloader unlock to be disallowed is just bad business. our very small, in representation and subsequent consideration group accepts these practices. i for one, will buy no more Moto devices, period after this one, unless they remember what a developer edition Droid is. if i have to buy a license, or void my warranty, so be it. Both Verizon and Moto should care about the impact to the brand.

Want to help? Cool. Dont? also cool. Just remember, no one ever changed anything for the better sitting by complacently. ;) #unlockthedroids

edit: okay, so perhaps i should have said no more Moto on VZW, as I cannot stand the thought of not having their antennae quality.. ;)

#pacifists
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] renegadeone8:
Easy fix

What they should do is allow you to opt out of manufacturer warranty and insurance in trade for unlocks. I would happily give those things up as I have such a rare need for them especially in the days of glass screen protectors and repair options
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TechSavvy2:
Yes but your qualms have been discussed IN LARGE with Verizon multiple times in the past. The locked bootloader has NOTHING to do with Motorola. Hence why all their other devices outsize VZW are unlockable. Getting verbal with VZW or Moto will do literally nothing. You're not the first one to try and "change the world". Here's the simple break-down - VERIZON WOULD RATHER NOT CARRY THE DEVICE AT ALL THAN ALLOW THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED ON THEIR NETWORK. PERIOD. They would also 100% rather you leave their network than unlock a device. They've made it very very very very very VERY clear. If you threaten to "unlock my bootloader or I'm gone!" they'll gladly sweep your a$$ right out the door and laugh at you the whole way out. The second thing you're misinterpreting is that while it may seem the rooting/roming crowd is large and lots of people on XDA etc, fact of the matter is that Verizon has 135,000,000 subscribers. 135 MILLION!! Guess how many actually want an unlocked bootloader? Lets say there are thousands!? Lets say 10,000 (very largely over-exaggerated number). That means that even if you manage to get to that 10,000 figure, you're thinking that 0.000074% of users are going to think they're verbal/angry enough to change the policy...... Think again. Its partially why the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 devices were shunned away by VZW, and one (of the many) issues they had with the Galaxy Nexus. Also why they tried to not carry the Nexus 7 (remember that wonderful delay?).

Don't get me wrong, I probably want unlocked bootloaders more than you do. But don't buy devices from VZW expecting anything other than what the delivered software configuration will allow you. Be thankful you were even given the option of a Nexus 6, it'll likely be the last unlockable device for another 3 years.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
I had started typing and quoting in a douchebag fashion that reminded me of someone else. ( [MENTION=2648200]LeoD[/MENTION] you know what i mean)

The short version is this, man. I didn't buy the Turbo. I was "upgraded" to it. (see above). Do I think i make a difference directly? nope. I think I am (and most of us here as well are) the kind of person who drives tech outlets to report new devices. I am the guy everyone I know asks first what to buy. Sure, my $100/month isnt much. Ultimately, I am a customer. You want my business or you dont. When I shelled out $700 for a Dev Edition, I had that in mind. I could have bought anything. I chose Moto. I chose Verizon because their network is superior. There always is a balance or tradeoff. Moto dev sucks? Cool. Next. HTC? Sony? Samsung? LG? We have no shortage of hardware. I can learn to live with Wifi. Hell, i don't answer my phone when it rings most of the time. As far as the hooplah about Nexus devices and Verizon, the one thing to look at is the fact that the Nexus 6 is completely unlockable and unfettered on VZW. We can thank google for that, though, i am sure. I would love a Nexus 6 at this point.

I may want bl unlock just a hair more than you, brother. ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Small numbers can have big business impact. See social media. An act such as shaming on Twitter CAN have larger PR consequences, especially if other tech media take up the refrain.

Some businesses actually LOOK for alpha individuals (there's word I can't find right now) who help shape decisions of people in their social circle and they get freebies to plug that company. Some early YouTube "shopping stars" cashed in on that. Same concept.

Verizon may be huge and arrogant, but T-mobile is the young/hip crowd. If Verizon wants to change that perception -- perhaps if the T-mobile/Dish merger goes through and causes more competition -- then Verizon would consider some adjustments for a people like us who spread word of mouth to friends/relatives about what to buy/not to buy.

I am extremely surprised the Nexus 6 is not only allowed on Verizon (thank the FCC), but sold by Verizon (not sure why).

Rotflmao!!

I had a difficult time keeping my coffee down while reading this.

On topic tho, I also believe we should not just go quietly into the night. Big changes are almost always started in small numbers. Thankfully.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Technogen:
The problem is that VZW does not want to give customers anything that they could charge them for. Which really is odd that they don't let us buy a bootloader unlock, but odds are that it would be less revenue then what they make off selling tethering. If it came with less drawbacks for them then positives they would let us unlock in a heartbeat. VZW is a full slave to the $ pound, and won't do a dang thing unless it gets them more $.

Sadly I speak cooperate a bit better than I wish I did, so I bet it would end up being something like this to unlock your bootloader.

- Must not have unlimited data plan.

- Must have tethering data plan.

- Void any and all warranty

- $50 one time pay for Verizon device bootloader unlock.

- Device must be fully paid for.

- Must install custom Verizon recovery.

I'm sure they would think of something else to tack onto it so as to cost us more $.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Technogen:
If they sent you it as a replacement and you are unhappy with the device you should either terminate your contract as they moved outside of it by giving you a different device, or move to a different phone like the Nexus 6. You didn't get stuck with anything, you just choice to not fight for a different option.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
after 2.5 months of bs with Moto "Support" i was in effect told that was as good as it gets. "Nexus is not an option" was said more times than I care to count. I even bought another phone to use in the meantime, just to be able to wait it out. Again, I have had no contract since the time before Android. Principle is the only thing that bound me to either VZW or Moto up until now.
