[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roseyhead:
Up until a few days ago I had a Note 4 running CM12.1 and every now and then the volume would suddenly drop down a level. I couldn't notice any pattern to it, it happened whether the screen was on or off, playing music or playing a game, running through speaker or headphones etc. I put up with it since I was getting a new phone pretty soon anyway.

Fast forward to today when I've finished setting up my Note 5. For some reason this is doing the same thing! Volume drops down one level. I can't imagine why as I set this up as a totally fresh device, not copying any settings or apps across from my old phone.

My first instinct was to get a logcat for it. I started recording, swapped to an app that played sounds so I'd hear any changes (it seems to happen randomly and I don't want to have to watch my phone and wait for it) and within ten seconds it happened so I immediately swapped back to Catlog and saved the recording. Only problem is it's 3378 lines long and I have no idea what I'm looking for so there's not much I can do with it. Kinda hoping someone who knows how to read logcat can tell me what's causing this.

Here's a pastebin of the log: http://pastebin.com/HEtsYtU8

It happens towards the bottom, within the last 3 seconds. I've had a look myself but like I said nothing really stands out since I don't know what to look for. Help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattnmag:
I have also experienced this issue on both my Retail Verizon Note 3 and Note 2 phones. This issue only started for me about a week ago. I suspected it was caused by a recent update to one of my Android Wear apps, because that was the only common thread I had between the 2 phones. I looked through your logcat and found where you are using Wear Mini Launcher, just like I am.

There were a couple of lines in your logcat that caught my attention.....particularly the line - 09-11 20:19:38.181 D/AudioService(3769): setStreamVolume:3 index:0flags:1 package:com.npi.wearminilauncher

I checked and found that the Wear Mini Launcher was updated about a week ago (around the same time this issue started). I played with Wear Mini Launcher settings to see if there was something I could toggle off regarding media volume, but didn't see anything... so I uninstalled Wear Mini Launcher and rebooted the phone. I tested out the media volume and no longer had the "random volume dropping" issue after uninstalling Wear Mini Launcher.

I love having Wear Mini Launcher for my Sony Smartwatch, so I Googled and found the older 4.0.4 version that was working well before the most recent update. (You can grab it here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/nicola...ear-mini-launcher-4-0-4-android-apk-download/ ). I don't think it should be a problem to post this link in XDA because the app is free on the Play Store and this should be the exact same signed app that the Developer released in June 2015.

After installing the older version of Wear Mini Laucher, I'm still no longer having the "volume dropping" issue, and I've got Wear Mini Launcher working well for my Sony Smartwatch 3. :)

I'm curious to see if this will fix things for you too. Let me know how things turn out.

If we can confirm that it's the most recent Wear Mini Launcher update that's causing the issue, we should reach out to the Developer to let him know.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roseyhead:
Good spotting, I never would've thought about that. I'll try it out and report back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattnmag:
I'm now sure it was the recent update to the Wear Mini Launcher.

Someone on an Android Police article commented about the volume issue as well, and then I read through Play Store feedback comments on Wear Mini Launcher where the Developer told someone that the "volume changing" problem is a known issue that they are planning to correct in the next update. (see my screenshot of the Play Store feedback).

Looks like reverting to the 4.0.4 app version is an easy fix for now. :thumbup:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roseyhead:
Awesome! That's probably the last app I would've suspected of causing this issue. Glad to see the issue is resolved for both of us for the meantime :)
[G3 General] Egrier:
I just received notification on my phone that there is a new software update. I didn't, nor can i install it because I've removed all of the bloat ware and rooted the phone, and installed TWRP. I'm already on 21q so this must be something newer that AT&T is pushing out. Anyone else get the OTA?
[G3 General] Egrier:
Ahh, it is more security updates. It brings the software version to 21r. It came out on September 10th. They probably patched the ability to root it. Lol
[G3 General] louvass:
ATT 850

I think you're right, I went back to stock "D" and then took all updates. I didnt like what I saw so went back to stock "D" and now I cant root with any method. My Recent apps is now in a thumbnail format instead of tabs.... not sure there is anything I can do to root.

The Root.bat seems to work but then just hangs at the LG screen and never boots.
[G3 General] Egrier:
Were you able to get your phone to boot at all? Now I know not to flash it!
[G3 General] louvass:
No it never booted I had to reflash back to stock "D" I am trying it again this time I am taking the "F" update then trying the root
[G3 General] Egrier:
I was able to root 21q. I'm not going beyond that if you had issues after updating it.
[G3 General] louvass:
I'll keep you posted I'm still playing

UPDATE: after a few tries I was able to stump root "D" once again. I'll install TWRP and a ROM and leave it at that ;)
[G3 General] Egrier:
I think the stupid update tried to install itself without any interaction from me. I had my phone laying next to me on the desk and heard the AT&T jingle playing. I turned to look at it and was rebooting. After it rebooted, a box was up on the screen saying that there was suspicion of my phone being rooted :D and that it wouldn't install. Fine by me. ;)
[G3 General] JCred:
Pretty sure this is the patch for the stagefright vulnerability.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpeev:
Can I have timeshift burst camera mod for Sony to my S5?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sick Boy:
Hello, in the Android 5.1 update for nexus 6, the device recieved a huge boots in the smoothness of the device thanks to making the device work with all the cores enabled all the time. More info in Franco's Google+:

"In case you're wondering why your Nexus 6 feels so darn fast and smooth on Android 5.1, besides all the improvements on ART and possibly a lot of code cleaning and optimizations on the Framework - the device is now running full quad-core mode all the time which helps tremendously because the Kernel task scheduler can distribute the workload through all these cores so you'll get the perception that the device is not hanging anymore."

There is any way to make my device bahave in the same way? I have a Xperia Z3 Compact running Android 5.1.1 but some cores goes to sleep when it hasn't got heavy usage. I tried some governors but the cores keep going back to sleep.. The device is very smooth but I want MORE!! haha

Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Pyres:
I'm very disappointed at the moment. I currently have a Z3 Compact, whose waterproofing disclaimer stated:

Now however, on the Z5 Premium official page, the disclaimer states:

What they're describing is a water-resistant phone, not waterproof. I'd like to ask Sony if it was really worth it to put the usb port outside the flap and lose the possibility to use the phone underwater like I always did.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] xNiNELiVES:
I feel like this may be erroneous. They list the device on the specs page as IP65 AND IP68. These two certifications, I do not believe, we incorrectly placed. They are putting a strong emphasis on how their device is IP6x certified, and I doubt they'd be lying about this haha.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Pyres:
It's indeed IP65/68 certified, yet they tell you not to submerge the phone. They're practically saying "you want to submerge it? theoretically the phone should survive the dunk, practically if it dies we're not gonna cover with our warranty"
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] xNiNELiVES:
So I'm assuming Sony just changed their view of returns based on water damage. Do you think the phone is physically less capable of resisting water?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] sfkaudi:
It's just a warranty policy chance
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] xNiNELiVES:
http://www.androidauthority.com/xperia-z5-no-underwater-641502/

I swear this guy just looked on here a couple of hours ago and made an article out of this.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Aripex:
No, the source of the story is from Xperia Blog, who posted it yesterday. Not sure why the OP didn't reference it.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] styxter:
Well it is understandable why they did it. Sometimes consumer try to abused it. I think sealed flaps is better in seeping the water inside the phone.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Pyres:
I wasn't aware of that
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] mikedemoda:
well i think all Sony meant is you can't drop your phone in water with corrosive agents like salt or chemical products, but i mean, it's common sense, taking photos in the ocean would destroy usb ports or obstruct the speakers or whatever
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Ulver:
They probably did it for warranty purposes. I was just testing out my Z3's water proofread and it ended up getting water in the device. Luckily they replaced the phone still. This new statement will probably reduce the number of warranty claims they have to deal with due to water damage.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] tetsuo55:
I remember sony losing a legal case around their waterproof claims, since then they have been changing their claims to suit the outcome of that lawsuit.

I'm sorry i don't have a link.

Technically the device is equally waterproof as any previous version (in the sense that all requirements for the IP certification have been met or exceeded)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hansip87:
Yeah they change it so when somebody splashes into the pool from jump board from some heights (which pressure might push the rubber clip too much around the port), they can get away from the claim.

The essence of the device is still the same, only that the USB port is open now and no rubber port mechanism to protect it.

So people just need to take care to not charge the phone straight from water (they should dry it first) and, a proper usage (slow enter) underwater (pool) should be doable.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Sparksltd:
Regardless of Sony's disclaimer, the phone is rated at ip65/ ip68. That's all what matters.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Lawliet918:
i think i've seen a video of an underwater test (or to be more precise, a dr pepper under-soda test) where, after submerging the phone in the pop, the OP was able to charge it right away without even having the USB port dried out.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hansip87:
Well that might be doable but just never play water and electricity i say better safe than sorry. ;)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahq1216:
Hello, Everyone!

I am new to XDA and I have to say I'm loving it!

I know a bit of hacking and such but for the life of me I can't grasp the concept of decompiling or recompiling apk's, i know how to do it but i get lost when it comes to editing.

I am on the new Note 4 (SM-N910T3) and every rom i've seen released for it either has 3minit battery, potato clock ect ect...

Personally i am more of a stock guy and I just want the DOG1 Stock system UI. Stock clock, stock battery, stock drop down.

Is there any way for me to acquire this? Any way i can pull it from the stock MD5 file or a place that has the stock files?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SIDE NOTE: Does anyone know why when i boot the phone up, stock or custom rom I always get like one vibration and then 3 vibrations... not a big deal really but its just something i noticed

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahq1216:
Hmmm, Haven't seen that one, maybe i can make a backup of my current rom and flash this to rip the system UI. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YrrchSebor:
I was thinking maybe just download the ROM and pull the systemui apk out of the ROM zip. Then possibly you can replace your existing one with the stock one using a file manager. Not 100% sure if that would work because of force close issues.. you'd have to be able to set the permissions in time and then reboot. In any case, make a backup first for sure!

First step, determine that I'm 23c. Next, USB debugging. Next, root with All-in-one 1.2.2. Now....getting twrp has been the next challenge:

Attempting to install via All-in-One - I get a flash of "invalid apk" and done

Attempting to install via Flashify - Secure boot error

Attempting to install via TWRP manager - Secure boot error

Attempting to install via Autorec - goes to standard recovery

Ok thoughts here? So far NOTHING I've tried works.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
What happens in autorec? When you launch it you have to give it a minute because sheet it requests and you give it root permissions, it automatically backs up your original recovery. It gives toast messages letting you know when it's done creating the backup, then you can hit the install button. It should work flawlessly with 23C.

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome!

That's how it's supposed to be on LG devices. If you choose Factory Reset from the stock recovery, that'll take you to TWRP.

Alternatively, you can use an app like Quick Reboot or type into Terminal Emulator with superuser permissions

reboot recovery

to go directly to TWRP.
