[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArgamanZa:
Hey, so without further ado i'll just describe my problem.

I just got my S6 edge and everything is perfect, except something that might seem not important but really irritates me:

I'm from Israeli, so obviously my mother tongue is Hebrew and so are my contacts.

I'm used to call using T9 method, the problem is i'm also used to English as my interface language, can't stand the Hebrew because it also changes the interface directions and confuses me a lot.

The problem is when my phone language is English there are only English letters on the dialer pad, and it doesn't allow me to look for a contact in Hebrew.

I looked for a way to add or change T9 language without any luck.

On my previous phone (S4) i used an alternative dialer, Ex Dialer, which was great and allowed me a lot of options, including adding a T9 language.

I would use it again now but I'm really not interested in rooting my phone, after rooting and too much flashing practically ruined my S4, and without rooting there's a problem that prevents the Ex Dialer app from cleaning unanswered calls and i have to open the stock Phone app each time I missed a call to clean it.

I'm looking for a way to use the stock dialer but change its language to Hebrew without having to use Hebrew as my main language, or any other alternative solution.

Thank you.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] galaxys:
For some reason the radio 1.50 drained my battery real fast when using edge gprs. It did have good reception in my area. But, 1.47 gave me both good battery and reception. I might try 1.50 again the next time I upgrade my OS rom to see if this still happens.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] galaxys:
Not sure of U'r carrier or location.? But, it seems like the radio sometimes does not in sync with the OS. Did U happen to hard reset before reflashing the OS rom? Before my next flash (which will be any day now), I'm going to reflash 1.50 first. Then see if there is a battery drain! Stay tuned...

Thanks to semi-standardized hardware and "pure" builds of Android, Google has maintained an impressive track record when it comes to speedily updating the Android One phones that it's designed with various partners in emerging markets. One of our readers was kind enough to track down a handful of links for over-the-air updates to Android 6.0 for these phones, in case users are tired of waiting and want to update their phones manually. To flash these OTA files in recovery, you need to be on the latest Lollipop build (LMY48M) with unmodified software.

[General Questions and Answers] fencer:
Just got my new Moto X (:D) and I transferred the photos from my old Nexus to the new Moto (by copying an pasting the files on one phone to the other using windows). Photos on the Nexus where also backed up via Google Photos. Now, when I switch on Auto-Backup in Google Photos on my Moto X, it tries to re-backup the old photos previously on my Nexus. Anyone found a way to prevent this or to re-link these?
[General Questions and Answers] BluT00th:
Are you saying that you put your old photos from the Nexus onto Windows, then moved them to the MOTO X?

Then that Google Photos is attempting to back up the same pictures that are on your Nexus?

Your question. Is hard to understand.

Is it double backing up photos?

In that case:

-Remove all the photos from both devices.

-Put them on your desktop. (Windows)

-Turn off Auto-Backup on the Nexus & MOTO X

-Remove all the photos from Google Photos

-Place the old photos on the MOTO X

-let Google back them up.

-delete them from your phone.

-they will stay on your Google Photos.

Or Another Way:

-remove all old photos.

-place them on desktop.

-keep them there.
[General Questions and Answers] fencer:
Yep that's what I meant :)

Option 1: I had to wipe my N4, so I can't do that now :(

Option 2: I was looking to keep my photos on the device, I could however move them to a separate folder if I don't find a solution.
[General Questions and Answers] BluT00th:

Bla Bla:

I have recently bought this device. The hardware seems to be all nice but software, not so good. There are tons of improvements that need to be done on the software end. I have been waiting for someone else to take an initiative up until now, but it seems everyone else has been doing the same thing and as the device is new int he market, the XDA Threads have been practically dead and they are going to stay like that if noone starts working. So, lets tickle this lady.

What We Need:

Its obvious, but I will state that anyway.

Root and Recovery

Locked Bootloader

Unlocked Bootloader

Kernel

Repacked (With Custom Ramdisk including Recovery, Disable RIC, Insecure ADB, A few Tweaks, etc.)

Compiled (Need sources for that, so lets put this on hold for now)

ROM

Stock (Rooted, Recovery, Tweaked, Optmized, Debloated, Deodexed)

Custom (Something Like This)

Progress:

Obviously, it must be a Top to Bottom approach, but I am an idiot, so, I am following Bottom to Top, actually because thats my forte and I need help with others.

Root and Recovery

Locked

Unlocked

Kernel

Repacked

Compiled

ROM

Stock (Done)

Custom (Halfway Done)

So, folks lets join hands together and start this thing. I welcome all Developers, Beginners, Contributors, Reviewers, Haters, Bullies, Killers, simply anyone and everyone who is willing to help.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] kychan2015:

Thank you so much for developing here......:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] CTXz:
I am building for the xperia c4. May I ask where you unlocked the bootloader? Because as far as i remember, you need to unlock the loader for a custom recovery on sony phones. Right?
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] kanej2006:
So far for me the main issue with this phone is high ram usage despite having very few apps installed. Even when closing all apps after use free ram is between 500-600mb. At times ram is under 500mb free and nothing is open.

Ram management is quite an important aspect which needs improvement...

There is also a slight delay when waking the device for some reason...

Also it would be great if we can get stereo speakers working on the device. The upper earpiece is fairly large and should give us decent sound to go with the lower speaker...
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] SdtBarbarossa:
Unlocking bootloader isnt always necessarry... If you have root you sometimes can hack the init process... For example look at Xperia L recovery for locked bootloader...

Its mostly something like store the recovery ramdisk as a img file in internal storage... And while init process it gets unpacked and replaces ramdisk
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] AndroPlus:
Possible root method for locked bootloader.

If someone can send him a C5 Ultra or at least log from C5 Ultra , thing will go smoother.

[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] VeEuzUKY:
Not sure how this is going so far, but count me in. I have 2 c5 Ultra Dual.. I think hardware and modding wise, both the normal and Dual versions are for all matters, identical:) Let's get this done, rooted, and a custom ROM going. This is great hardware with deplorable software. And I get constant 50% CPU utilization from a deadly and useless system Crash Reporting APK, that I can't get rid off without root, and is killing the performance and battery of both my phones 24/7.. Im sure most people don't know about this unless you have an app logging system APK usage.. this thing is deadly and I can't believe Sony hasn't released some sort of an emergency patch to stop this thing from going wild.. first thing to obliterate as soon as we have root access! Cheers!
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] gsser:
I guess thats cause of this phone is performance/price phone
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] VeEuzUKY:
Cost is great, design is unbeatable at phones costing twice as much, and hardware is more than good enough. What sucks is Sony software, the same of ALL Sony phones and ALL price points. This thing, step 1, needs to be rooted and debloated to start off with like with ANY stock ROM of ANY brand, 85% of all stock APKs are all pure useless garbage.. and later, step 2, needs a custom ROM to make justice to the hardware.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] VeEuzUKY:
I noticed these days my phone gets permanently a bit warm and the battery dies on me really really fast. This is phone is both the worse battery performer I've ever had AND at same time, ironically takes forever to get charged.. I don't get it.. Anyway, I installed a CPU Monitoring app, quickly to realize that 2 useless system apps are killing my phone:

1) CrashMonitor.apk is active at 50% CPU usage non-stop. There is no option to Disable it and even if I force close it, seconds later is back. And since we don't have root yet, I can't just go delete it directly, and get it done with.

2) Another useless system app that also cannot be turned off (or even terminated) is called SmartScreenRotation. Even if I turn off or on manually the screen rotation toggle, the app is active eating a staggering 190Mb of RAM and up to 35% CPU usage on jumps every few seconds.

Is there any way we cold try recompiling the stock ROM without these apps? I can't imagine a way to get these obliterated or frozen as it stands and find it amazing Sony is not a way of this or patches them asap to fix this behavior. Can't wait for root on this. Going crazy already..
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] P20KILLER:
Can we use the same steps to unlock the bootloader of a Motorola ?, using the Android SDK and the steps of the official website of Motorola. I do not know, I am really eager to get my Xperia C5 rooted.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] iHackers:
By recompiling if you mean creating a Custom Stock based ROM, that part is easy but without Root or Recovery there's no point of doing that. How will you get it in? The easy way to root would be recompiling a Kernel with Recovery, but unfortunately my bootloader can't be unlocked, so I will have a hard time testing it even if I somehow manage to properly compile it from the shi*ty source code released by Sony, which itself would be a heck of a job considering its 64 Bit.

Bootloader unlock????

Hi

I've just connected to developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/ and there is no way to unlock the Xperia C5 ultra (dual or not dual). This reference is not proposed by the selector... So tell me how did you proceed to unlock yours? :confused:

Yours faithfully
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] iyun:
1.Bottom the page developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/

2.select Xperia C, click continue

3.fill your email and proceed to unlock page via email.

5.remember to backup before unlock the device. It will recover to factory status.

Hi Yun

Thanks for your quick reply. It seemed to me that Xperia C was a completely different device than the xperia c5 ultra. How do you check that the bootloader is really unlocked after?

Francois
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] iyun:
Hi,Francois

Follow the steps, ultimately, the xperia unlock guidance page says:

1. If you still want to unlock the boot loader of your device, enter the following command:

fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x0D9A0620B0BEFB66(this is my code)

2. Verify that you get an answer back without any errors.

Done!

You have now unlocked the boot loader of your device. Return to Developer World for the latest developer news from Sony.

I check no error, and I check dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu, Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status, says unlock bootloader yes

I didn't find any tutorial or method to root the C5 ultra...I continue to search if sometime someone did it. I tested a lot of sofwares (KingToot, XperiaRoot, Vroot TowelRoot etc...) but none is working.

[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] VeEuzUKY:
On my end, I want to report I've been painstakingly trying all possible ways to get this rooted, and I've updated all apps I have tried without any success yet at this point. Tried all latest versions of XperiaRoot, Vroot Towel Root and KingRoot, and all fail. In fact the latest version of KingRoot, though it takes a very unusual time to complete, it seems to finished with success, but at the final stage to install superuser the app crashes. So that's where I am at this point on that. I hope Sony sells a lot of these units so that there will be enough people to jump on the wagon to get this rooted quicker and aid in building a proper custom ROM. I don't know any ETA regarding Android 6.0, but even after that's out, I would assume it may take a long time before we can get advanced on this and last there is. fingers crossed and next week I'm going to look into a couple more options and see how far I can get:)

And let's keep trying,

And when marshmallow pushes,

We'll have to find a new rooting method too ?

And the method for locking an unlocked bootloader so that we can get ota updates?

Any update on my situation where it shows not allowed as the bootloader unlocking status?

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

Before unlocking the bootloader was you status for bootloader unlock allowed the same as mine ? It showed 'not allowed' for me.

And now that you have unlocked it, have you tried using supersu to update and flash su?

Also for everyone who have unlocked it, how do you guys plan on getting android M ? Do you know how to relock the bootloader? Or any other workarounds?
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] Arachnorbit:
If you'd unlocked the bootloader you can not download the OTA. I would not care anyway because my phone takes too long to get the upgrades ... I'll wait to see if we can carry a custom recovery for our device. Or find ways SuperSU without flashing custom recovery.
