Also any big issues to be aware of?

I've seen some forum post of people saying the phone screen cracked without them touching it.

SD cards being killed by the phone.

[Xperia Z General] geoghegan691:
I just bought a 2nd hand Xperia Z,and it asked me to update so I pressed it and I end up with 5.0.2. Battery runs out on me twice a day pretty heavy user, I got the paid version of poweramp and about £20 worth of widgets and skins for poweramp player and I can only use the default skin and widget, and I mainly use it just for music, I tried to root my phonyyesterday with kingroot and it worked, I don't know what happened but I got rid of the root, as I didn't know what to do after I rooted, I want to use custom rom and delete unused apps what I never use, if anyone got any help for me after rooting, I wasn't able to update SuperSu it wouldn't update, I don't know what ideas doing really.
[Xperia Z General] jms_209:
I got the phone today and it's on 4.3.

Any way to root it?

edit: I rooted the phone, a lot easier than I thought.

Now since the tmobile version is locked bootloader.

What is the best Android version to have on on the Xperia Z?
[Xperia Z General] Diatomix98:
4.3 is perfect. Stay with it until 5.1 is released. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Frannyman:
Hi, thank you very much for reading!

I've been playing around with my new Verizon Edge 6. I had no problems obtaining root, though I'm not an Android expert whatsoever. More of a good at following clear instructions kind of guy, I guess.

Anyway, I haven't been able to flash it much else than the stock rom. Whatever else I try flashing does end up booting, but the phone won't recognize my SIM Card at all no matter what I try (I know I could likely try some more stuff, but I have no idea). When I flash the stock one back in, it behaves flawlessly again.

My guess is that this has something to do with my Current Binary Status in FlashFire being "Unknown" when it should read "Official". And my question is if you know how what the easiest way to get it that way and if you could pretty please point me out where I can get the files I'll need.

Thank you VERY much in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Demiurge7:
Binary status in Flashfire will read unknown for all Verizon S6/edge variants, due to the bootloader being protected.

I am not sure where your problem comes from exactly. Are you on OC3 firmware, and trying to flash an OE2 rom/package? If not, could you be more specific on what your flashing in FF, and what firmware your on?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Frannyman:
My apologies por taking so long to reply. I had no trouble installing the Firmware I wanted right after reading your post. It was in fact trying to flash an OC2 on a OC3 Firmware. I was too embarrassed to admit I had in fact no idea what I was talking about. I humbly recognize now my ignorance, stupidity and stubborness. Thank you very much for your prompt help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Demiurge7:
No problem with trying to help, and thank you for replying. And don't feel bad or worry about it, we all start somewhere! I certainly am no expert, but try and help where I can.

My S4 i9500 International version is shown as UNKNOWN, too in Flashfire. Why?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beast_Boy:
My phone is stuck at the boot logo, and won't fully boot. The boot with the volume down button pressed doesn't work, or even the volume up thing, in order to enter fastboot I need to let it boot up to the logo then run the

adb reboot-bootloader

command. when i try the

adb reboot recovery

command, it boots to the oneplus logo, then reboots normally, and I am back to where I was. I cannot flash a new image, because my bootloader is locked, and in order to unlock it, the phone needs to boot up. Is there a way to unlock the bootloader without a full boot? Can I flash without an unlocked bootloader? Is it bricked? please, any feedback would be appreciated.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
So you can't boot into fastboot with the power + volume up button combo after shutting the phone down (hold power)? No you can't unlock bootloader without successfully booting into fastboot. No you can't flash without unlocking the bootloader.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beast_Boy:
i can only turn the phone on in the normal mode. does this mean it's bricked? do I have to send it in?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I would think it's bricked, it's virtually impossible to brick this device. So it'll turn on when the power button is pressed, but it won't actually boot, right? Nothing at all happens when using the fastboot button combo? A little background info would be good, what lead to this situation?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beast_Boy:
The button combos do nothing, not even boot the device normally.

So, what happened is this: I was trying to root my phone, I plugged it into a windows 8.1 machine, and I was following a tutorial by C4Etech. It was working fine, until I unlocked the bootloader, after the it was unlocked, my machine could no longer recognize my device. I uninstalled and reinstalled countless drivers multiple times in an attempt make my machine recognize my device, rebooted my phone, my computer., the adb server, and anyhting else I could. Nothing worked. Angry and frustrated, I plugged it into my Linux Mint machine, and it recognized perfectly! because I am a noob, and have never done anything like this before, I began to panic when I saw that my phone wouldn't reboot like they did in the tutorials right after they unlocked the bootloader, so I skipped that part, and continued with the flashing. after flashing, my phone would no longer boot, so I thought I messed up with the unlocking portion because my phone wouldn't reboot after the "fastboot oem unlock" ( because I am a noob, I thought that the unlock was temporary, and that my many reboots of the phone managed to undo it.). thinking the unlock was the culprit to my broken phone, and thought adb must be glitched since it doesn't reboot after "fastboot oem unlock" like it did in the tutorials, like a genius, i typed in "fastboot oem lock" rebooted into fastmode, then typed in "fastboot oem unlock". I was filled with joy when I saw my phone reboot like it did in the tutorials, but my joy began to fade, as the phone was still booting after several minutes. And thats when I died inside, and began posting on many online forums, because google couldn't find anything that matched my situation.

the button combos stopped working after the flash.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idoit:
I have a non-rooted Android device with stock ROM 4.4.2 and I have the following test shell script:

adb push test.sh /data/local/tmp
adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp; chmod 755 test.sh"
adb.exe shell "sh /data/local/tmp/test.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &"

If I run this over ADB from PC to my device, it simply works.

Now convert this to:

cp test.sh /data/local/tmp
cd /data/local/tmp; chmod 755 test.sh
/system/bin/sh /data/local/tmp/test.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &"

and it doesn't work. It says permission denied on /data/local/tmp.

Is there any other EXT4 place on a non-rooted device that I can do this?

Well, I cd to /data/local/tmp and even submitting a 'ls' command inside Terminal Emulator doesn't work, it says permission denied, but when doing it from PC to Android using ADB it's fine. Is there any workaround for this? I want to be able to do this on the device itself.

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaskaranbir Singh:
No there isnt, not if you try using /data partition. ADB can read this partition (and that too was added around android kitkat itself for purpose of adb backup

etc). So ADB can read this partition, but terminal emulator and such cannot.

Assuming that you have a great reason to simply not copy the sh file to user-usable internal memory, /system partition is the one place where you can copy things without actually having root (and even access them with terminal emulator, but not manipulate them), and this isn't that simple either. Rather, the method will be device dependent. For instance, if you have a phone like Nexus phones, simply download stock firmware, open/extract it depending on what format it is (img or tar), add your sh file and repack the firmware, then flash it into the phone. The firmware should be same as your current installed so your applications dont mess up. But this method is not only long (and messy if your device has integrity checks on firmware files), but also not possible on some phones (as far as I know).

You can also try copying the sh file with adb to /data/data/com.android.terminal. Then you should be able to access this with terminal emulator (since an app has permissions inside its own data folder). However I have not tested this method and I am not sure it will work.

Besides this, every app (including terminal emulator) runs in a sandbox and does not have access to anything except /system (read-only access), emulated user-storage and its own data inside /data/data/. So in phone itself, you cannot read the file unless you copy it to /system or user-memory. And this finally implies that except above two methods, there is no other way to copy file to some other place except user-memory and be able to read it using some app inside phone itself without rooting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idoit:
Thanks for your comprehensive reply. I resolved the problem. Yes, it's right, I can simply run the shell script without even moving it to /data/local/tmp... so now I can conveniently running it directly from my phone without having to turn a computer on and do it over ADB.

Hi all,

Please could you post any issues you are having, tweaks/ OEMs you would like included into the next WM6 Build.

Leo and I will try to tackle all the known issues people are having with the WM6 builds and release a completed Rom.

Of course we need to know what issues you are having first, so post away.

Please keep this thread clean and only post current Rom problems.

This is not a QA post, it is for us to collect a complete list of known issues.

************************************************************************************************************************

Current Issues posted.

Conference call.(It let's me swap two calls but not letting me putting in conference (no button, no menu voice))

VOIP working properly through the phone earpiece and use the built in GSM CODEC, but mainly the earpiece.

True VGA

An update with the new HTC apps (audio manager, today, …)

Video Call, and if you could fix Messenger Live, so that it doesn't download my MSN contacts to the Address Book

3G data to work properly and STAY connected when push/a constant connection is enabled

Vanilla version + kitchen (I prefer not to have msn and live)

wifi wpa

fully-functional phone (quick responding keys) -- when i tried leo's v7, the response was slow and Talk button doesn't always work.

Ringtones on SD Card.

after turning on wifi - the bubble still stays as "turn ON wifi", and not "turn OFF wifi"

OK, to start off with one that seems to have been only commented on a couple of times - the "Turn on WI-Fi" works to turn on Wi-Fi but still says "Turn on WI-Fi" even after this, and cannot be used to Turn off Wi-Fi as it could in WM5 (which meant we didn't need to use the Comm Manager).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] DaVince:
omg.. :eek: we have 2 stickies catering to bug reports/tracking. I personally prefer TehPenguin's bugtracker.. it looks much more organized (but I hate the color combination and font sizes of his site.. no offense ThePenguin :D) I already posted I few bugs there that I remember I had when using the ROMs.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] simonsalo:
More memory Please

Hi Leo

I am using your current rom. Works great but would like to see more program memory up to 10 mb even at the expense of storage memory. Out of the 48.9 mb program memory available I am using more than 70% at 34.57 mb which only leaves me < 14mb free. (Pocket Breeze is a TSR using 3mb alone unless minimized)

In conjunction with this request can you also look at memory leakage? At reboot I get around 60% usage before opening anything, then the memory appears to leak or increase even without loading any applications up to 80% usage after around 2 days.

Cheers,

Simon
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] DaVince:
simonsalo, it's not the ROM. It's your today screen plugins that leaks. Or the apps/programs that you use.

The base ROM used in Laurentius26's ROM is Midget_1990's ROM.. which is by far the most memory efficient WM6 ROM out there.

I've just gone to the bug tracker to add those I've found - I think it's a more structured way of reporting bugs than a free-for-all in the forum. I think we should try and encourage people to use that to report bugs.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beast0898:
Hi Midget,

Yes we have a bug tracker (congrats and thx to TehPenguin for that), but what I am after here, is not necessarily bugs.

What I want to collect is what people want working on WM6 in general, I don't want bugs listed from each different Rom.

I need to know what features are important to everyone so that we can prioritse fixes better and make a WM6 Rom that suits all (now I know that's near impossible) but if we can collate a list of features/apps and functionalities, iron out the bugs we can get a stable functional Rom for WM6 that the majority will be happy with.

Cheers,

Beast
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] mzalan:
We(speaking for probably everyone here...:) ) could use the video call, and if you could fix Messenger Live, so that it doesn't download my MSN contacts to the Address Book, it would be great.

Or at least make sure that even if it downloads the contacts, they don't disappear from the MSN contact list when deleted from the address book(I recently had that problem: half my contact list vanished without a trace when I merged the downloaded instant messaging addresses into the existing contacts(to have everything in one place), and when I tried to re-add them, messenger gave me a curt response: "There was a problem. Please try again")

Also, if you could fix a small bug that makes the backlight button open Backlight Settings in addition to turning on the light, it would be great.

Also, system sounds seem a bit on the quiet side, it would be welcome if you could amp them a notch or two...

Thank you very much for your efforts in advance!

[Verizon LG G3] official.xian:
Hey guys, I'm trying to bring my VZW LG G3 to Straight Talk as I'm sick of Verizon's outrageous charges. I bought an activation kit at Walmart because their compatibility checker said it would work, and so did most other people when I did a Google search. I tried using the CDMA LTE SIM, but it said the SIM was incorrect. So I used the AT&T SIM and got voice working, but couldn't get data even with the proper APN setups. So I called ST and they said it's not compatible, but I know it is because VZW phones are unlocked by default, right? They also claim there is no service where I live but I have friends on ST very close to me who do have service, also ATT and TMO are both here as well as VZW. Am I doing something wrong?? I switched to the TMO SIM but now I can't make a call, they say my account is restricted.
[Verizon LG G3] BladeRunner:
Are you trying to port your number over from VZW or using whatever number Straight talk gives you? Are you rebooting after you entered and saved the APN? Also are you stock, or on a custom ROM?

Calling ST is like going to a phone a phonebook, picking a random person and calling them for help. Actually calling a random person might get you better support.
[Verizon LG G3] official.xian:
I'm just gonna take the number ST gives me, and yeah even after a reboot. Good point about the support lol!!
