Hi all,

Just as an update, I connected the watch to another PC and it was recognized as an MTP device right away with no issues.

So if anyone is interested in having your watch automatically recognized as a flash drive, you can un/repack a boot image using CarlivImageKitchen - you can just replace the init.tetra.usb.rc and init.usb.rc files with the ones I attached in Post 119.

One caveat, on PCs you've already connected the watch to, you might need to edit the driver settings as I specified in Post 120. Or, maybe my watch wasn't recognized initially because I had been monkeying with the Android drivers on my PC - no idea. Just out of curiosity, I'd love to know if anyone else runs into the issue - it'd be good to know if it was caused by my driver shenanigans :)

crpalmer, feel free to use those files in your boot images. Diff them and see if anything looks crazy, but I think these changes are pretty basic/vanilla.

thanks,

Charlie

Is this kernel stops randomly battery discharge?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cajunflavoredbob:
It did for most of us. I was barely getting 1 day out of the SW3 before this kernel. Sometimes it would randomly drain and I'd be under 30% by lunch time. Now I charge it once every 2 days with this kernel.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Is watch firmware have mdcecigion ?

All 4 cores always work?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
I have weird issue.

After 3 day normal use, and after full charge, watch discharged from 80% to 70% in 10-15 minutes. then everything returns to normal...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] chavdar:
Hi charlie,

thans for sharing - I tried your method, but unfortunately I am getting troubles with MTP - I followed your guide Post 119 but in Hardware I only see Google Nexus ADB interface and no MTP for the SmartWatch 3. Any ideas how to activate MTP ( I ran setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb in elevated mode on adb shell)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] craigcharlie:
Hi chavdar,

I just ran getprop persist.sys.usb.config, and it returned:

mtp,adb

So that's definitely the setting I'm using on my watch. Perhaps it's a driver issue? You may have to try to mess with the drivers as I indicated in the other post.

thanks,

Charlie
[Sony Smartwatch 3] chavdar:
Hi Charlie,

Thanks for the support, I finally figured it out - it was as I also expected a Driver issue under Win 10. So the trick was to install the device first as USB Composite Device and then add the Drivers for ADB and MTP.

But even then it was still not showing, so I had to reflash the kernel in recovery again and after the reboot there it was -Smartwatch 3 as an MTP Device!

I do not know why this step was necessary to get it working, but since now it functons I do not want to play with it too much - never change a running system :)

So now I have full access to the /sdcard.

By the way does anybody know where Google Play stores the music on the Watch?

I have copied some Songs over with the App on the Phone, the app on the watch sees and plays them, but I cannot find them neither with es explorer, nor with the mouted MTP mode.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] craigcharlie:
Glad to hear you got it working! Fwiw, the driver issue only happened for me on the PC where I do my wear/adb development - so I think that maybe if you've installed the Google ADB package, that might be the cause of the issue. When I connect the watch to computers with no ADB driver, it gets recognized immediately.

You can't edit the Google play music, it's stored as a mini-DB iirc. But I have a tip for you - ditch Google play and install Wear Media. It's a great interface, buttons that you can easily hit even while running, it lets you swipe left/right to rewind/fastforward, or just pick a time to play. Would be ideal for listening to podcasts. Wear Media lets you browse the file system - so just copy your songs to a folder in the root like 'Music' so it's easy to browse to.

thanks,

Charlie

This kernel seems to have fixed the random plunges in battery level with 5.1. Watch chugs along nicely for two days, so thanks for that, dev.

However, I'm getting some minor freezes here and there. Not sure if it's because of the kernel, but their appearance seems to coincide with its flashing. Anybody else having this?

EDIT: adbd seems to be secure, any chance of an update with adbd insecure?

Have google released last kernel sources?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] crpalmer:
Still no source code has been released. I just checked the google bcm kernel and it still predates the last firmware release and Sony's github doesn't contain any tetra branches either.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
You kernel based on this https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/bcm/+/android-wear-5.1.1_r0.5 sources?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] crpalmer:
I used

Which looks to be identical to the branch you reference.

If you do not mind- I increase Linux kernel patch level from 3.10.86 to 3.10.95.

PC does not recognize smartphone + firmware upgrade encountered an issue

Hi guys, first of all, sorry for my bad English.

I own a Samsung Galaxy A5 (SM-A500FU), Android 5.0.2, ROM stock. My PC is a Windows 10 64 bits.

I tried to root my device with this guide: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-alpha/help/how-to-root-galaxy-a5-a500fu-lollipop-5-t3137613

A month ago it worked, but then I had to unroot my phone because I wanted to update it, but when I wanted to re-root it, it didn't work, I couldn't flash the cf-root so I closed Odin. After that, my phone displays "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" when I turn it on. I would like to flash again the ROM stock, but my PC does not recognize my phone. I've tried on other computers, but the problem is still the same (tried on an Ubuntu PC, and a Windows 7 laptop).

Also, when I try to install the Samsung USB drivers, my PC freezes (BSOD) and I have to reboot it.

Please, help me, I don't know what to do.

Thank you.

[Q] [anyROM on 5.1.1] Bluetooth turning on ...

Hello community,

i have a massive problem with bt on my devices. As long as i stay on a 5.0.x (Sense) or 5.1 (GPE) Rom --> bt is working fine. I can start and stop as often as i want.

Searches for several days now to find a solution to get 5.1.1 working for me.

switching states results in a stuck of bluetooth turning on but never activate after several statechanges.

Doesnt matter if no pairs are build. if it is on it´s working fine. BT button doesn´t work anymore - no function when tapping on it.

Just showing 'bluetooth turning on ...' for hours.

This did not help:

clear bt cache

clear bt data

sometimes resulting in a full reboot (crash).

factory reset / wipe in TWRP

reset cache and or dalvik

try another 5.1.1 rom

tried aicp, viper, cm12.1, crdroid, pixel ...

Did it make even worse:

restart in save mode.

could turn bt off once from on state, never started after.

This did help a little:

using siliconvalleys kernel - it fells like the time to 'crash' (happens every few hours before) doubled.

Does allways work:

reboot / shutdown & restart - but this is uncool and makes the phone not usefull.

logcat - enteries when stucked:

err bt_hwcfg axi_bridge_lock aquire: Timer expired (62)

and some

err qr-netmgr-lib Processing rtm_newlink

I really would like to use a stable m7 with 5.1.1

Anone with a hint to solution?

regards

OT.

phones are with OS 7.19.401.2 ROOT S-ON HBOOT 1.61.0000

edit2:

Whoever edited the topic:

it doesn´t turn off! it just stays with the screen: "turning on ..." but don´t, nor i can turn it off again without rebooting the device.

There are a few problems with the connection to my PC:

1. If I try to move a file on my phone memory or SD card to another folder (still on phone memory or SD card) it loads forever and does nothing, if I stop the process, the file is GONE!

2. Same with copy-paste, process never ends.

3. Sometimes when copying files from PC to the phone, after a while the transfer stops, it says the phone is disconnected or not answearing.

It makes file transfering so hard... Any ideas what is it and how to solve?

Thanks!

Had these bugs before with my Tablet. Here are some tips you should try:

- Change your USB Cable or USB ports.

- Try switching the USB connectivy functions on your phone and switch it a few times between MTP and Camera or others.

- Try with a different Computer.

- Try putting your SD card on an adapter or on another Device to check if it's not damaged.

Hopefully one of these work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] dawgboy1783:
Hey guys and gals, I enabled developer mode and noticed that this device has the OEM unlock option not sure if that is similar to the nexus 6 as far as unlocking the bootloader to root but pretty sure it may be..fingers crossed and I wouldn't take any rom updates until we know further about root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] androidkid27:
Yeah notice the same thing on my phone. I enable but not sure what it does yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] Misterjunky:
re: oem unlock

The OEM Unlock does not unlock the bootloader, it only "allows" the bootloader to be unlocked.

If you don't allow the bootloader to be unlocked then you can't flash roms, kernels and you can't

root the phone.

This is why the verizon and at&t Note 5 and S6 Edge+ phones cannot be rooted and they cannot

have custom roms and kernels. They lack the the option of OEM Unlock because they have locked

bootloaders which is unlike our phones. The bootloader in our phones are not locked.

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] thornev:
My Verizon Edge+ has OEM Unlock on it, but I have no idea what it does. I'm searching the internet to see if anyone knows.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] Misterjunky:
re: OEM Unlock

The important thing is to always leave the OEM Unlock enabled.

But as I said before, doing that will NOT unlock the bootloader.

It only allows for unlocking the bootloader if the bootloader is

unlock-able. (which is not the case with Verizon's bootloader)

Good luck,

Have a great evening!

So i got my new xperia z1 compact week ago and i was extremly pleased with its battery life and overall performance.I could get up early in the morning go to work,do 2-3 hours of web browsing,2-3 hours of playing games(including some heavy ones) lots of listening to music and to go in bed with 20-30% of battery left,basicly i didnt drop this phone from my hand first few days and it handled all awesome.Then i decided to do factory reset(i accidentaly tried to rename obb folder and since that happened none of my obb games aint working and i cant even acces that file).After factory reset everything got back to normal i downloaded all my old apps and went to bed fully charged to do browsing and it dropped for 10% in just one hour,it was a little bit odd but still normal,i guess.So i turned off wifi and everything,put it in stamina mode and went to sleep.After i woke up i was shocked,from 90% to 49% during night in STAMINA MODE!!! Phone is still in stamina mode and it probably dropped for 1-2% while i was writting this.I bought it with android 4.4.4 and i will say again,everything was PERFECT before one ordinary factory reset,what might have gone wrong.Pls help me i dont have waranty.

So I've been looking into Bumper Cases for my Note 5. I have never owned a Bumper Case before because I just thought it was too risky in the event I were to drop my phone. I'm very careful with ALL my electronics, and I have had only minimal cases on my phones because that is pretty much as much protection as I need. Also I put looks before protection, If the case doesn't look good, I won't get it.

So what I'm actually asking is for some help or guidance as to which Bumper Case I should get. I'm not a huge spender on cases, I probably spent at most $20 on a case, and that was as HIGH I would go! I found a few cases on Amazon, and just need help on deciding. Also, I figured, since this thread was made to look for Bumper Cases, I would just use this thread.

BTW, I have the White Galaxy Note 5. I don't mind colors, but I don't want it to clash or the bumper to look too distinct.

Out of Box SW from new Verizon online purchases? (128gb)

I’ve done an extensive amount of searching, both here and elsewhere, I was hoping to be able to figure this out without a new thread but here goes …

I am interested in getting a 128gb S6, I am also interested in rooting. Obviously In order to root the build it needs to be OC3/OE2 out of the box. I’ve gone to a couple Verizon stores as part of my fact finding and for the 32/64gb versions they appear to all be about out of the OE2 (I found one for 64 but was not in a position to get it). Also per Verizon the 128gb version is delivery order only.

My question is for those here who have a 128gb version. Given that the out of box SW is dependent on when it was sent to Verizon, I’m interested to hear when folks bought / received theirs and what the SW was. My hope is that the 128gb trim has been slow selling and they have a lot of back-stock or Never ordered more units from Samsung. That hope is based on the idea that the level obviously sold poorly enough that Samsung declined to offer the Note 5 and S6 Edge+ with 128gb. Basically I’m trying to figure out what my chances at OE2 are if I order one.

Sorry for the long post and thank you.
