just changed the driver install process since so many people cant figure out how to manually install drivers if needed. Now it will walk you through the process hopefully this helps those having problems :) good luck
[Fire General] zane203:
Is there any reason for there to be an error when trying to install the drivers? I'm getting an error stating the hash isn't present.
[Fire General] renzoe:
Thank you sd_shadow for this great post.

Got problems to install adb drivers for win 10 but then all went smoothly.

Anyway I have an issue that I think has not been addressed:

how do we REMOVE a google account?.

I could add a second one, but no way to remove a google account..

I was trying to avoid uninstalling all the google apks ans start from zero.
[Fire General] revengineer:
I found uninstalling Google apks and starting over to be the only way. Googled and tested for 3 hours.
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
I agree, you need to uninstall google apps, to remove goggle accounts
[Fire General] renzoe:
Ok, fair enough. Starting over then (I also spent several hours yesterday and could not find a proper solution -erasing data of all google apks did not work-).

Thanks again for your work, and these replies.

Super tablet for 50 USD (60 EUR :eek:), and with google market/apps even better :)

[Fire General] one80oneday:
How do you add a second account?
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
open gmail/settings /add account /google account
[Fire General] cleeezzz:
I have tried every method for drivers on win 10, I can't get adb drivers to work. The 15 seconds method says driver is ready but the fire is still unrecognized. The install bat doesn't work either because I get a hash problem trying to install the driver. The sdk method also says driver installed but still unrecognized.
[Fire General] topcaser:
I want do install google play on my second fire. On my first one I managed to install drivers to my Win10 PC. But the second device is not recognized at all from my PC. I tried all three options to install drivers, but it is not working. Do you have any further trick?
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
toggle adb off/on a few times?
[Fire General] cleeezzz:
I finally found drivers that would work (it was called latest_usb_driver_windows), the one included with the install script did not work. Then I had issues installing google play because of invalid apk. When using adb manually and pasting the lines found in the bat, it was giving an install error since it did not recognize the apk. Even though the apk name had no spaces, adb was truncating it for some reason and it couldn't find the apk. I put quotes around the apk like this ( adb install "com.google.android.gms-6.6.03_(1681564-036)-6603036-minAPI9.apk") and that did the trick. Without quotes, adb was trying to install -6603036-minAPI9.apk
[Fire General] tonyt3rry:
I used the same driver I managed to find it in one of the threads, I had trouble with the batch file too it was because one of the play services apks was old I got the latest apk or one off my phone to get that working YouTube works fine now

[Fire General] Questionaire007:
Hello,

the link from first thread should have the followed MD5

MD5: 161C89FCBCB687A81ADA52A993DB52C7

But the downloadlink itself post

MD5: 65bbd5df185f9712273828c9156188f2

When I calc an md5 then I get

This is very confusing.

Could someone tells me if this is a problem?

Thank you.
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
tomsgt keeps updating it, but has just reused the original link instead of using a new link with correct md5.

[Fire General] sd_shadow:
uninstall google apps
[Fire General] cleeezzz:
Anyone know why music apps like Spotify and Pandora crash the tablet? It only happens while the screen is off and happens regularly. Is there a way to check crash logs? Other than that, most google play apps work fine. I suspect a cache issue related to using play apps?
[Fire General] Skinny White Boy:
Thanks - worked perfectly!

Followed the instructions, worked first time, love it!
[Fire General] zsal:
Hi, first time trying something like this. I followed the instructions. First thing I have a problem with is that when I type "adb devices", nothing shows up. I went into the device manager, looked up unknown devices, and it said it didn't have a driver so I manually browsed the list of drivers on the computer and cclicked on Android Device, and it now shows up as Android Composite ADB interface.

The batch file doesn't really do anything, I see it in the "connected devices" list on the yellowtext page but on the bluetext page, I see "make a selection or hit enter to exit" with nothing listed. I'm sure something I did up there was wrong. Should I select a different driver or something?
[XDA Assist] choujij:
Hi. Just got a Note2 which was running 4.4.2

I downloaded Odin3-v3.07 and got root access. I then used a checker to confirm.

From there, I used the TWRP Manager to install 2.8.7.0.

I think this is where things went wrong. I know I selected the correct phone model, but it gave me an error saying something went wrong ( I think it said something about me having the latest TWRP) . Then my phone rebooted and took me into TWRP.

I made a backup and tried to flash the CM12 rom for sgh-i317m.

That's when I noticed I couldn't get out of TWRP. Rebooting or pulling the battery has no effect. Phone keeps booting into TWRP. I tried wiping delvic cache, cache and other things, but no matter what I do I can't boot into the OS. I tried restoring and it says it was successful, but again am stuck in TWRP. I've now spent the last hour searching for a way to get out and still can't find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Notes:

Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I had forgotten to enable USB debugging when I was in my OS.

Another thing I noticed is when I open the terminal command, there's a running boot script error: E:/sbin/runatboot.sh process ended with ERROR=1
[XDA Assist] choujij:
Problem resolved: I booted into download mode and used Odin to root again. That seem to overwrite whatever was causing the Note 2 to be stuck booting into TWRP.

I enabled USB debugging and installed TWRP again. Got the same error but this time chose not to reboot into recovery. Then I rebooted manually, and the phone boots into the OS. I powered down and held Vol up + power + menu and released power button at Samsung logo, and was successful in booting into TWRP. Exited and rebooted took me back to the OS. So I'm not quite sure what it was the first time around that got me stuck into booting TWRP everytime.
[XDA Assist] :
Glad you got it fixed! :good:

I'll close this thread.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
You're screwed. You obviously didn't do any reading in this specific forum before attempting to do anything on your wife's phone. If you had, you would have learned that using the EZ-Unlock app on anything after 4.1.2 on this device results in a hard brick. Best advice I can give is whenever attempting to do something on a phone with which you are not very familiar and knowledgeable is to read everything you can in that phone's particular forum before attempting anything. As it stands right now, I'd say your wife's phone is completely dead and you will have to get her a replacement phone. If you wife fries your M9, I guess you will be buying 2 new phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
I replied in the other thread you posted but didn't comment much.

I mentioned trying a proper sdcard debrick image because you had successfully booted after attempting EZUnlock. It may be possible a jtag service could help if nothing else does.

hello guys,

i am in lg g3 jasmine rom,

the phone is working fine with cdma relaince,except data

no data is been connected from reliance cdma

data is working fine in gsm mode with other operators but not with cdma relaince

pls help me in getting data on reliance cdma asap

thank you

What is your carrier variant?
[Verizon LG G3] kir199123:
sorry for late reply.....

my carrier variant is verizon

and in india my cdma provider is RELIANCE

i manually added APN too still no use n no data

with GSM data works fine....pls help me in getting data in cdma pls
[Verizon LG G3] Reddelta111:
Have you unlocked the bands on the verizon variant of the phone that allow for CDMA?
[Verizon LG G3] kir199123:
dont know bro

was using as it is as i got frm the box.....everything is working but data in cdma is alone not working....it seems tht it is unlocked

if not...can u say me how to unlock those bands pls
[Verizon LG G3] Reddelta111:
Alright the first step is figuring out which bands you carrier needs for CDMA, then you need to enable that band, as most likely the vs985 does not support it natively
[Verizon LG G3] kir199123:
CDMA 800 MHz is the band for reliance in india,most probably i guess
[Verizon LG G3] kir199123:
Operating Frequency	CDMA 1900 / 2000 / 800 MHz

TD-LTE 2500(band 41)

FD-LTE 1900(band 25) / 850(band 26)

3G

EV-DO , A 3.1 Mbit/s

4G

(doesn't support Indian bands)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] cron912:
Is anyone else having high battery drain with bluetooth on? I have a Wear device and a fitness band paired with my Note 5, so I would prefer to leave bluetooth on, at least during the day. But, with bluetooth on, I'm getting around 5-7%/hr drain when idle, even if the devices aren't paired. As soon as I turn bluetooth off, battery drain drops to less than 1%/hr.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jhogal12:
NO one responded to this post so I assume, no one has this issue. I leave my Bluetooth on all day and I dont see much of battery drian than normal 0.5 to 1% every hours(standby).

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] tudork:
Thanks for the explanation, it makes sense. But The simple consumer question is: should I pay quite a significant amount of money for a top of the line phone that lags and stutters, despite my love for Xperia, and risking contempt from other phone users who have older but smoother models, with just some hope that some tuning might come in the future?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tommy-Geenexus:
This is an important question.

First of all its not that there are stutters everywhere, the overall performance is still good.

As the phone just got released, and every freshly released phone has some kind of software issues, i'd suggest to wait for some firmware updates.

I have already seen there is an update scheduled for the Z5 series, which may be coming soon.

Approx. when marshmallow comes to the Z5 series, things are going to get better.

Overall the Z5C is an excellent phone otherwise.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] jamespat93:
I saw a video of the Z5 compact which showed that it's performance was much worse than the z3 compact. I'm looking to get the Z5 myself but if that also performance issues then I doubt I'll buy it.

One thing I learnt from having the LG G3 is that it's not wise to buy a product with issues hoping that they MAY be fixed with software updates.

If Sony cared so much then it wouldn't have been released with sluggish performance. Hopefully your right and this can be fixed, as the Z5 was seeming perfect to me but I'm not too confident.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tommy-Geenexus:
I've seem the vid too, its nowhere near as bad as it seems there.

In some parts its faster, but sometimes (very rare) there are some small lag spikes.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
Mine's been like butter (so far).
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] milesg:
No problems here either - at least as fast/smooth as my Z3c (which would also have the odd stutter).

If I can get two average days battery life, I can accept 99% smoothness.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tommy-Geenexus:
The thing is, you don't have to make sacrafices.

100% smoothness and the same battery-life is possible with ease.

It is the same with my Z Ultra, i modified Sony's system-scripts and now my Ultra is smoother with unaffected battery-life.

This phone is awesome so it deserves some more fine-tuning.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] milesg:
Surely the experience depends what people are running on their phones?

For example, my Z3 compact never had an stuttering or lag with the stock Xperia launcher, but using the Google Now launcher I would get the odd stutter maybe once a day. People not running the Google Now launcher would never experience any issue.

I can only say that in my case, the Z5 compact is as smooth and fluid as the Z3 using the same apps on a daily basis.

Hey guys, received my Z5 compact last week, as an upgrade from my Z1 compact.

I've got big problems with my Z5C, it's really unresponsive and slow like 90% of the time I use it. I also had Z1C before and I didn't experience that.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Drakorcarnis0:
I suppose you have one of those white z5c that have such an issue, a software update should resolve it on the months coming. On my black z5c, there aren't any problems like that.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Keyze:
I have absolutely no problems either... I've got the black one too.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] willumpie82:
My Z5 was also slow and stuttering(e.g when playing Spotify music from cache and during camera app). what i did was replace my SD card for a faster one

Sandisk Ultra 64GB (class 10) => Samsung Evo 64GB (UHS 1)

benchmarks show roughly twice the speed. it makes me curious what an UHS3 card will do :P
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
I think this Sony's Lollipop build is eating a lot of RAM (maybe is the camera with the libs and all that).

Today I saw like 300-600MB of Free Ram.

In nexus 5 (Google's Lollipop) I used to have like 800-1200MB of Free RAM.

This could be one of the reasons affecting performance.

However, there are some steps in Z5 Compact that are faster than in my Nexus 5 (with 5.1.1, not 6.0 which is faster). Like the unlock process, or scrolling.

And some others that are slower.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ewans:
In response to the first point, my phone slowed down pretty quick, I don't think the update made much of a difference. I then reset it and ran it without a SD card for a while, and it was much better. I was also using a Sandisk (class 10), but had a Samsung EVO 64Gb and swapped to this instead, now it's running perfectly.

I wonder if we both had poor SD cards (although it worked ok in my Z3C), or there's some issue with Sandisk compared to Samsung cards in the Z5C, unlikely as that seems?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] lamenramen:
Yup. So true. Releasing phones with barely finished software is a telltale sign of poor management. It may not be the engineers' fault, since Sony releases new flagships every six months. But somebody sets a deadline and you just have to meet it, whether or not it's technically feasible. So Sony is probably not going to invest much in fixing these problems. If the software ain't finished now, it'll never be finished. You'll have to take your chances with the community fixing things.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dondavis007:
Sony has said that the division has to show profit within a year otherwise they have some hidden plans. I don't use sd cards but the phone feels really sluggish of and on. Had a white one with screen problemz but changed it to a black one that feels 100% ok screenwize.

I imagine Sony soon will be pumping out updates because they can't afford not to.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kenyonj:
I really notice the stuttering when I am streaming music over bluetooth. It seems to start skipping every 15 seconds or so for about 5-10 secs. It's very frustrating.

I just moved back to the stock launcher and removed the Google Now launcher to see if that does anything.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] toxic_garden:
i also experienced those lags every now and then. Don't use a SD-Card at the moment. I got the black version (but i don't think that the color of the case makes any difference). It seems like if there are more lags the longer you use the phone. On my first days, those stutters just happened once or twice a day, now they occour on every action like starting an app or opening the camera. I eagerly wait for Sony to deliver a patch for that. But as the AOSP Marshmallow sources are out already, this shouldn't take too long. ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] darthbane7:
SD card performance should only be noticeable when using an application that actually does some I/O on the SD card. This is why I still can't blame SD cards for the problems you mentioned above.

If you say it gots slower / sluggerisher after some time of use, I would bet again on the CPUs Throtteling management, scaling down the SoC to aggressive which results in laggy behavior.

Lagg do not necessary appear as problem with general performance, but also with timing timing issues of frequency scaling, memory leaks, memory bottlenecks etc.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] toxic_garden:
i don't think that this is an CPU throttling issue. Just today, i noticed a huge battery drain that comes with those lags. I was pretty surprised when i looked at the stats. I surely didn't use Ingress for a few days and it wasn't even active since some reboots. But it sucked battery and CPU pretty hard nevertheless. That's some pretty weird stuff. I also noticed the Wikipedia app sucking the same amount of CPU and Battery some days ago, so this doesn't seem to be some kind of app issue but the ROM not handling something right....
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Fluxman:
My Z5 Compact has been really slow and the battery drain has been bad. I only get 2-3 SOT hours and maybe 16 hours total life before it dies. Something doesn't seem right with it at all. My wife's Z3 Compact performs way better.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] troublecro:

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] yyiimm:
I'm a soon-to-be-owner of Z5.

With Z4(Z3+), Z3, and some other older devices, I see lots of report saying the cause of sluggishness, overheating, battery drain is "photo analyzer service", and turning it off solves these issue.

Can anybody try this with Z5?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] emmanuelkeyz:
I've just tried this...seems to have made a difference already! I'll wait a while to test....to make sure its not placebo! :D

What is interesting is that the photo analyzer app that had reportedly been causing some lag is no longer installed after the update.
