I had the same issue with my build.prop. If you browse the recovery.log it tells you exactly what file it's having an issue with and you can look into restoring a factory copy just long enough to do the update.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Nikola Jovanovic:
Not a single update to K model here in Serbia as somebody mentioned it.

Other than that I have mentioned problem with Instagram won't play videos as repeat button reapers over and over. No music stutters, camera is good except crash when playing around with manual options. Dttw isn't 100% consistent like on my friends lg g3 (like that a lot since isn't tempered to only 2 taps to wake a device as on the idol).. Battery is very good, around 5,30 to 7 sot, and actually I wasn't sure if the radio bug persist or not since I activated it with other modules and root apps at the same time and got battery from 3, 3 and a half sot to never below 5 and half.

Would like to see an update to my device but reading all the issues you have even on "newer" firmwares it makes me believe that even I got 0.1 it actually may be the newer one with all patches up, yet to come to you.

Yup, that's the correct one! If you want more info on what this update fixes, here's a link. http://m.androidcentral.com/alcatel-pushes-update-55-inch-idol-3-performance-fixes-and-more
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] brian117:
Can anybody else confirm if they have that annoying Flashlight toggle problem again? Where the Flashlight toggle is lit up when dragging down the notification bar and you have to tap it twice to get it to work? It didn't have that on the last update.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] MTTech:
I don't have that problem.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] brian117:
Thanks, I think I fixed it by reinstalling the update without wiping anything prior to it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Did this most recent update overwrite twrp with factory recovery?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] wrench588:
Yes, I had to reflash TWRP again after this update.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] the.teejster:
Any Canadian users getting this OTA update ? Specifically Bell Mobility ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Muskoka:
I'm not seeing it, I'm with Telus, but have flashed to a U.S. firmware, not rooted, stock recovery.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ps3cfw:
I haven't received it as of today.

Italy, "French" IDOL 3 6045Y.

I give up, I think we already had this update long before everyone else. Or else we probably don't need it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] bassbrick15:
I had it until i turned my flashlight on and off once which seemed to get rid of the lit up icon
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] scatoclysm:
I'm in the same boat. Wondering if the OTA will come through or the it's based on IMEI ranges.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Hitokiri-Snake:
How much better is the performance with this update? Is anything else even noticeable besides Snapchat?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] MTTech:
Snapchat would be the major improvement. Before the update, my phone would freeze when doing certain tasks in certain apps. So far with this update, my phone hasn't froze yet. So, it seems like they fixed how the phone handles multiple tasks.

If I provided the 56.1 mb update file would you be able to provide some screenshots to show what has to be modified to bypass the replacement of the recovery so I could do it for future updates on my own? I would think the simplest solution would be to just reverse the checksum if to "not equal" instead of "equal" so it would leave twrp there? If I download them and do it manually via twrp it makes recovery from an error be so much easier.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] JJP1029:
How long did your update take to perform?

My phone is taking forever at the white Alcatel onetouch, smart move screen. It's been about 10 minutes already..

Phone was rooted with TWRP flashed.

I did the Full unroot option in superSU, reboot, and then installed the fw update. The phone rebooted to TWRP to flash/patch some files and after its completion the phone reboot and it has been on this screen for a while now...

I did have xposed with gravitybox.

Ok, so after an hour of waiting. I'm going to diagnose this as a boot loop.. Dumb me also cleared the data/factory reset so the only ADB I have is the sideload which doesn't accept TWRP. I didn't read not to do it only until googling regarding ADB sideload... gee... RMA is in process...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
I work on a script which will make all automatically. It will be ready soon (probably to the end of the day ... depending on how busy I am ).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] psu2fan:
[MENTION=6838802]JJP1029[/MENTION]...

Same here. I don't get it I did this exact process for the last update without any issues. I also did the factory reset thinking it would fix things. :facepalm:
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] JJP1029:
Revise the FLASHING OTA AFTER ROOT thread to include this information please....
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Hitokiri-Snake:
Do you know if the new snapchat selfie filters work? If you don't know what it is, it's when you touch and hold on your face when using the front facing camera. They've got crazy new stuff that makes it look like you're puking rainbows or old and wrinkly.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] MTTech:
Those are called Lenses. Before this update, it didn't work when SnapChat first released it. After like 2-3 weeks, lenses actually worked! but were noticeably laggy. The SnapChat filters still had the awful lag issue.

After installing this update (UEA2), SnapChat filters work fine without issue, but the new Lenses no longer work.

I don't know if this is a SnapChat app issue, or Alacatel's issue. Since before the update, lenses never worked until one day they started working, possibly due to a Snapchat update? So as of now it seems like Alacatel's update caused the lenses to not work, but maybe another Snapchat update may get it to work, since their all description does say it won't work on all devices.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] BrianFX:
Both Feedly (RSS) and Zoiper (VOIP) run terribly on my 6045l both before and after this update. They both have very jerky scrolling. Not sure what's causing it. Both ran fine on my Alcatel One Touch Flash. Unfortunately these are two of my most-used/most-relied-upon apps. I keep using Feedly and just put up with the jerky/laggy scrolling. However, Zoiper is completely unusable b/c of dropped packets, I believe related to the jerky frame rate issue.

No one else has reported these same issues with these apps, and given they're quite popular, perhaps I just have a buggy phone. However, all other apps run stellar on my Idol 3... :confused:

If someone else would be willing to give a test run of these apps, that would be great, thanks. Would like to eliminate the possibility that my specific device is the culprit.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Anghirrim:
I know this in not the answer you wanted but try Flym to replace feedly. It runs well and imports opml files. You can install Flym by using fdroid.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] n3tnut:
I reported this same issue with my Idol 3 in a previous thread (using feedly) and it has had lag (frame drops) since the Idol 3 was first released, with no change on the latest "Performance" update. I have since switched to gReader PRO as it runs smoother on the Idol 3, but I still prefer feedly for RSS.

I had recently made a temporary switch to a Moto E LTE 2015, and I was shocked by how much smoother and faster it felt overall compared to the Idol 3 5.5". feedly was smooth and sharing files between applications launches in less than half the time it takes on the Idol 3. Both phones use current 64 bit chips (410 vs. 615) and SD vs 1080p resolution, but the SD615/GPU combo clearly can't keep up at 1080p.

I see these same frame drop issues with Instagram, Facebook and Chrome to name a few.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kevin6876:
I've noticed in this update more apps can be switched over to run off the SD Card. I also notice the factory camera app has a slightly different appearance to the buttons. Web browsing is enhanced a little too.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] BrianFX:
Thanks for confirming, glad to know it's not just my unit.

Interesting. I've found that Chrome, games, and other apps run considerably faster on my Idol 3 vs my Onetouch Flash (1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 and Mali-T760MP2, 720p screen). For me, it's just Feedly and Zoiper that run like utter molasses..

Given that neither app is graphic-heavy (2D and mostly text), there is likely some kind of bug at play here. I have an ancient Android phone that Feedly runs great on, so I really don't think it can be a weak CPU/GPU issue (though I'm no expert).

I was holding out hope that either a Feedly/Zoiper update and/or Alcatel update would resolve these issues. Really puts a dampener for me on an otherwise stellar phone..
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] n3tnut:
Thats just it though - it is GPU-related. If you enable developer settings on the Idol 3 and run Profile GPU Rendering (which shows frame drops in real-time as you run through apps) you can witness the stutters in apps to coincide with dropped frames. The Moto X Play is a nearly identical phone (SD615/2 GB RAM/1080p) and if you look up videos/reviews of it in action it has the exact same stutters the Idol 3 does - and that is with Android 5.1.1 and any optimizations that Moto added (which they are usually very good at).

There are other phones on the market with the SD615 and a 720p screen and most of those devices reportedly have smooth scrolling/animations. I am still holding out hope this can be further tweaked in software by Alcatel or Team Cyanogen, but I'm not holding my breath.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gideonMorrison:
He was only talking about those two apps though...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] n3tnut:
I realize that, and I see exactly what he's talking about with feedly. I also use feedly and have on 3 other phones and have never had scrolling issues with it until the Idol 3. It has to be an issue with the way scrolling is implemented in certain 3rd party apps, because thats where I am seeing most of the issues. All of the Google apps work fine.

I'd be curious if anyone has changed the resolution of the phone to 720p (using adb wm size commands) that can comment on any changes in overall (and app-specific) smoothness.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Nikola Jovanovic:
Hmm.. It would be interesting to see the difference between 720p vs 1080p on this screen..

Sent from hell
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] techware7:
I've done it and been saying here on the forums that SD615 /w 1080p won't ever give a buttery experience (unless you barely have stuff running). Throw some background noise and everything micro lags. If you change your res to 720p is a lot smoother. But I'm not complaining, the micro lags aren't that bad at all for $200 bucks.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] psu2fan:
I'm not disputing that assertion, but doesn't it seem a bit odd considering the many phones produced with sd600 and 1080 screens? My old HTC one m7 was smooth as silk till it got lollipop. Shouldn't our GPU be on par with that of the sd600?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] techware7:
SD600 was not a wanna be big.little soc like our SD615. Plus that adreno 320 > than this 405.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] n3tnut:
Just as I suspected. Don't get me wrong, for the price of this phone (I also paid $200 pre-order) I still think it's a hell of a value. I'm just nitpicking because all my previous phones were Nexus and Moto X's so I know how smooth Android can be. That said, I do have a Nexus 5X on pre-order, but at twice the price I paid for the Idol 3, the law of diminishing returns will certainly come into play.

Back to the Performance Update, I have noticed a weird issue with Hangouts (w/ SMS integration). If I try to change the default notification sound for either SMS or Hangouts from within the Hangouts app, it just reverts to the previous menu, never even showing the notification sound choices. I don't know if this is the result of a recent Hangouts update, or the system update. Anyone experience this?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] psu2fan:
Wow, was not aware of the adreno naming standard. I looked it up and I get it but it's terribly misleading. The GPU is likely the cause then.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ss.stoev:
Same happens when you try to change the ringtone in Viber. Notification sound change works as it should.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] techware7:
Although the gpu is on the weak side, these "little" 1ghz a53 cpus and the other "little - cause they aint big" 1.5 cores get just to overwhelmed with running background processes (multitasking) pushing lollipop @ 1080p. If I take a Nexus 5 and lower its SD800 cpu clock speed to 1.5 ghz and bellow I can see a lot of drop frames and micro lags similar to what we are seeing on the idol 3. A Nexus 5 @ 1.7ghz and above runs smooth. On top of that the SD615 handling and management of processes with its big.little arch is somewhat mediocre. Idol 3 is fast enough for me and for what I paid for I think is great. I already knew before I ordered this phone that 5.1 or 5.1.1 or 5.1.2 wasn't going to make a SD615 @ FHD run buttery smooth - so yeah. Take a look at moto x play. It has the same problems as the idol 3. SUM: cpu (SD615) is a bottleneck, has some problems (crippled big.little arch) and it isn't strong enough for FHD. Just my humble opinion...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] debido666:
Hangouts was upgraded today. Fixes the sound selection problem.

---------- Post added 8th October 2015 at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was 7th October 2015 at 11:59 PM ----------

I was wrong. You can change the sound for SMS of phone number, just not your Google voice account.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Karly Johnston:
It had nothing to do with the A53 cores. It is the gpu that is responsible for dropped frames. The 615 running Aarch64 with ARMv8 can be competitve with an SD800/801 in number crunching if the apps are optimized which most are quickly becoming. The way QC keeps the new 600 line as a budget chip is putting a garbage gpu in it on a 28nm fab. Even the 2016 600s will suffer the same weaknesses.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] techware7:
Wish you were right. As I said, 615 is a bottleneck.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] fubugang:
Have any of you 6045i users tried the Chinese ROM over in android development thread? I must say, its a lot smoother than our us ROM. Recents have little to no lag at all, chrome still lags when scrolling though
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Muskoka:
This is my second day with it, seems a bit/lot smoother, and no issues. I have a Telus 6045i and have tried two US firmwares after the "garbage" latest Canadian update that borked the speaker phone, this Chinese firmware is the best so far, on my phone.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] BrianFX:
Would either of you kindly care to give Feedly a quick test run on this ROM to see if it still lags? Thanks in advance if so. :o
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] fubugang:
Everything works fine, no issues at all, much smoother than the U.S ROM. Recent tabs has no lag at all, but google chrome still lags when scrolling. So far that's the only issue I can see.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevevetter:
I got my Moto X Pure about 3-4 weeks ago and activated it on Verizon with my previous Gen 1 Moto X sim via the level 2 support method with no problems.

Anyway, about a week ago it seems like there was some small update pushed out though I'm still showing Android 5.1.1 that it shipped with. The changes were small; about the only thing I can point to for sure is the app tray switched from swiping from right to left for multiple pages of apps, it is now one continuous vertical scroll page, as well as the top row of 4 apps is a dynamic list of most recently used.

I'm not sure if anything else changed (or I'm losing my mind) as I've been playing with settings myself. I also had a small scare moment, days after I noticed this change, when the phone spontaneously shut off and when I turned it back on the screen & layout was all stock. I then rebooted the phone and my old settings, widgets and apps were back in place.

Anyone else witness any similar bizarre behavior?

Hi guys,

I'm seeking your help in assisting me getting my tablet works again. It's Nexus 7 2012 with last updated Android version 5.1.1 (LMY47V). The problem started when the tablet suddenly restarted and the loading intro (that appears after Google's logo) didn't change for long time. I entered the recovery mode and tried to wipe cache partition unfortunately which made my problem worse! upon reboot I only get the Google logo repeatedly with no change!

The recovery logs are as follow:

E: failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)

E: Can't mount / cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open / cache/recovery/log

I've searched on the forum and found an opinion that I should download the Android Image from the developers.google website and unzip till I find a cache.img file, but it wasn't there after I've extracted the image zip file.

I've important data that I need to retrieve from the tablet. What should I do? Taking into consideration that I didn't unroot the tablet but I did make the undebugging step before (working with pdaNet).

Thank you very much in advance! :o

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirsaneli:
Hi,

First of all, I am new to the android community and I hope that you will understand that I am writing as a noob.

I'm having an issue with my Chinese smartphone POMP W88A. It was a brand that was making smartphones, but it seems they have stopped producing phones. The phone is running on JB 4.2.2. It is running on MTK6589 processor. Kernel version is 3.4.5. Screen resolution is qHD (960x540). This phone seems like a Galaxy S4 clone. It has touchwiz installed, or I assume that it is touchwiz, even though it wont support the Accuweather S4 widget and other Samsung apps. What I was trying to do - I was going to install the Touchwiz launcher and the Accuweather widget from this link http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2259228

It seems that it supports a large number of devices. However, when I rebooted into recovery and tryed to install the zips, I got an error message: Installation aborted. I googled a bit and found that some recoveries demand the zip files to be signed. I signed the zip files, rebooted again into recovery, and this time, the installation started, the progress bar started filling and suddenly it aborts the installation with this error message: "Invalid OTA package missing scatter". I tryed to google how to fix that problem, but I am unable to find a solution. There are some topics on this matter regarding the flashing of ROMs, but I just wanted to flash the launcher and the widget. I also found a topic saying that it might be because the Recovery demands Busybox to be installed, so I also installed Busybox, but the problem is still there. I also tried installing other recoveries via Mobileuncle Tools, but none of them worked, so I swithched back to the factory one, which is called Android system recovery 3e. Anyone have any clue how I can fix this? If there is a way to install zips without rebooting into recovery, I could try that, but I dont know if that is possible.

Here's the link for my phones ROM, maybe it could help you out to understand my issue:

Does anyone know how to, or if it is possible, to add your own geotag to snapchat without having to upload it to Snapchat? I was thinking pushing the .png to the phone and moving it to the appropriate folder, but I am not sure. Any ideas?
[Sprint LG G4] SantinoInc:
Title says it all. For people like myslef that sometimes play with fire and try de-bloating too much or maybe flash a bad Xposed module what can we do if we get stuck in a bootloop.

I've seen people say you should keep the stock and rooted versions of whatever version firmware your on the External SDcard.

So lets say you bootloop and you have the stock and rooted images on your phone...what then? Will we still be able to get into download mode by plugging in the USB cable and volume up? Whoever, knows for a fact please advise the steps to get the phone working again.

Appreciate any and all feedback

At a minimum you would want stock image on your Internal, not external.
