Must be something you can do. It's brand new and faulty, they should at least replace it
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulking:
Used my Z1 in Saltwater for about 20 minutes taking videos and it was still going strong for a good year or so after (until they sent an android upgrade and turned the phone to ****) Not sure why they're so worried about submerging them these days.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Exactly, they still have the same ip rating so they have to be just as waterproof
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
Yea but I seriously don't want to go through all that hassle again. Not like it is obvious when I take images anyway. :/ just don't want to play the lottery game lol who knows what defects I may end up with after another replacement
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilifida:
it is funny tho, that M5 Aqua does NOT have that recommendation of not fully submerging it. Take a look on the sony website.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
I gave up submerging because of the exposed USB port. Unlike previous models I can use the dock after dipping the phone into water. Whereas now I would need to wait for the USB port to be dried before doing so. Quite annoying lol
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodomen2:
i put the Z5 in a bowl under the tap and filled the bowl with water the phone survived without any problem...
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MickieH:
I often wash my Z3 off under the tap, and it gets a fair soaking. The only thing I've noticed is the speakers don't work very well until they've dried out again.

I haven't dared wash my Z5 yet, and I agree about the uncovered USB port - try plugging it in with even a bit of water in there, and poof!! Nice doorstop :eek:
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodomen2:

[Huawei Watch] bailyc:
Can anyone help confirm if they see this behavior with their watch? I have always-on screen set to ON in the Android Wear app. (Tilt to wake and gestures are both OFF.) I have noticed that even on the stock Moon Phase face, if I don't touch the face for a while, the watch goes to sleep. By that I mean, the face is completely black, as if I turned off the always-on screen option.

I haven't determined yet if it's always after a specific amount of time. Seems to be at least 30 min, maybe an hour.

Is this normal behavior? I was under the impression that always on means always on, And that time in dim mode would always show.
[Huawei Watch] vvveith:
You are correct.

You are correct, always on means always on, the only time the watch should sleep, is when you have it on the charger. You may have a bad install or worst case scenario a bad watch.
[Huawei Watch] bailyc:
Ok, thanks for confirming! I definitely have something wrong, then. I've factory reset several times and even taken off most apps, and it still happens. Looks like it might be the watch.
[Huawei Watch] rbs_uk:
I have similar problem - always ON, gestures off, but after about 10 seconds it changes watchface to some dark/black one.
[Huawei Watch] falcon26:
I believe the Always on Feature is not for having your watch face on all the time, but rather it dims your watch face but you still can tell the time with just the darker screen. It's not going to keep your watch face fully lit if that option is turned on.
[Huawei Watch] rbs_uk:
Well, then I`m selling mine. Why would I want all them beautiful watchfaces if I can`t have them always on?! That`s just stupid.
[Huawei Watch] brizey:
Most of the folks that make the WatchMaker faces either just dim the face, or they make a dimmed mode face that looks like it has phosphorous markings. I personally make custom dimmed modes. My favorite method is to make a blood red version of the face with just the essential features. The moon phase ones can look BAD ASS with the blood red moon phase on a pure black background. This is the only watch I have ever actually gotten comments on in public. When people see it they notice that it ain't no normal watch, and it ain't no Apple watch.
[Huawei Watch] Hanger4life:
I think the battery life would just be too short if you left the face on all the time, all the time meaning the watch never went into dim mode. Just run tilt on, and don't wear the watch to loose. Especially at night if the watch never dimmed that would get annoying as hell it's so bright.
[Huawei Watch] vvveith:
'god guys, really????

Come on guys you do understand ambient mode right? When the main screen of the watch face shuts down it goes into ambient mode, which is simply black and white. Just like any pure android device. (i.e. Nexus 6) If you do not understand of know of this behaviour please stop posting and do some research. 'The watch is acting as it is suppose to in Android Wear. Just like notifications on a Nexus device. Google is your friend.

So is YouTube and understanding the android system as of today. Come on, get a clue.
[Huawei Watch] falcon26:
Yeah I think if it was on all the time you'd be lucky to get even a few hours of battery life out of it....
[Huawei Watch] bailyc:
Well, I know what I personally thought was confusing is that "always on" isn't actually always on when charging. When on the charger, display turns off completely after a time. That's different behavior from what I'm used to based on the Moto X, which has AMOLED and still displayed ambient information on the screen when charging/docked. I find it a little odd that there is no built-in charging/docked display that uses the ambient (dimmed) display mode.

But to be sure, my watch definitely had something wrong with it. I just received a replacement unit yesterday, so I'll be testing it out today to see if it's able to stay dimmed as it should when off the charger.
[Huawei Watch] dj.kure:
Be attencion with "always on" mode, this is screen after four days :( (contrast on level 3).
[Huawei Watch] CL0SeY:
I've had the "Ranger" watch face on with a full colour ambient mode and not experiencing any burn-in. Every minute it shifts the image somewhat in order to reduce any burn in effect. See https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.smartwatchface.watch.face.ranger.military .
[Huawei Watch] player911:
Just to cease any confusion. Always On means the screen is always on. After a few seconds, the screen will dim and go into a black/white ambient mode to reserve power.

The OP says his screen is turning completely off. So it seems there is a problem there. Every Watch face has a different ambient mode. Perhaps the one you are using has a broken ambient mode and not displaying data.

I found the best way to make a watch face is to build one yourself. Purje Black is awesome for this (truely amazing app). I am not going to do a full review but the transition between full on and ambient mode is animated, looks fantastic, has lots of Hotspots to launch various apps like weather, Google Fit data, etc, and displays it in a awesome format.

But the best feature is that you can customize the ambient mode separately from the actual face. They also support community made themes, so just browse their Google Plus theme page, find one you like, customize it to how you want it and save it.

Just be careful with your AMOLED screen that you don't have any information that is static in ambient mode, like numbers, hour marks, etc. I prefer a Digital clock/Calendar date on my Amoled, but have a nice looking analog with various information on my full face.
[Huawei Watch] crawrj:
The device going to sleep is normal. It will go from full on to ambient mode and from there if the watch isn't moved for 30 minutes it will shut the screen off. See below from Google.

"You can set the display to show the time or turn off completely when you're not using the watch. If set to turn off, the screen will turn on when you turn your wrist or touch the screen.*

Tip: Letting your screen turn off when you're not using the watch will help improve battery life. If the watch hasn't moved for 30 minutes, the screen will turn off even if you have it set to remain always on. To wake your watch, tilt it or press the power button."
[Huawei Watch] ausi:
Hi

I'm trying to find an App for my watch that will keep the Watchface in Ambient mode for as long as i like (more than 24Hrs) even when it's not on my hand (not being moved).

Any ideas would be appretiated.
[Huawei Watch] crawrj:
First off between the battery hit and possible screen damage I wouldn't recommend that. But I haven't seen any faces or apps that would accomplish this. And since that feature is inherent to wear it would probably take root to accomplish it anyway.
[Huawei Watch] ausi:
Thanks, i have root..........but still cannot find an App to do this, i still would like to try.
[Huawei Watch] esselite:
Ho about limiting brightness to lower level than level 1. While I,m not using watch, just before it goes to ambient, I can See brightness dimmed to lower than minimum and after, ambient turns on, whitch is brighter. What can i do to use lowest levels all the time?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apoklyps3:
I'm planning to add a 64GB or 128GB class 10 sd card to my note 4 and I'm wondering if and how much it will hurt the phone's battery life.

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealFreddyBananas:
Hi there,

When adding an SD card, it is indeed another source that needs to be powered. But battery usage of this is neglectable, and you will not see any changes in daily usage. :)

[T-Mobile LG G3] secretasianman:
I was on D85120E then flashed official CM12.1 from Cyanogenmod website but the phone was getting warm from normal use so I flashed directly back to D85120G using the D85120G-Untouched_Stock_Restore.zip.

I am no longer able to do a full device encryption on the internal storage. It shows the green android on white background, then reboots to the magenta T-Mobile logo on white background and sits there until I pull the battery. I've tried using the D85120E restore zip as well as KDZ restore. Neither seems to be working for me.

Anyone have suggestions? I'd like to encrypt my internal storage.

Thanks.
[Oppo R7 Plus] vibranze:
Hi guys,

I found that there's no notification count on SMS, Whatsapp, etc on the icon. In the past with other phone, I always have it. I'm wondering if this is a configuration issue?

And the other thing is can I swap back and menu item? As well as change menu item to long press and show recent items to short press?

Thanks.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Nexus5-32GB:
I can only say you can change the buttons in settings. (swap back and recent apps) You can also add Menu button. Try to play it, you might be able to set it the way you want. With notification count on icon am not sure as I use different launcher.

All this apply to CM rom, if you have stock rom everything you mentioned worked for me fine.
[Oppo R7 Plus] vibranze:
Thanks for the reply.

I couldn't find the button swap setting in settings page, did I miss something here?

I am still using original RON and neither original launcher nor Nova launcher showing notification count on the apps icon.

Thanks.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Nexus5-32GB:
Try factory reset and test again. Maybe I was running custom launcher and now can not remember right IF I could see the notifications on icon on default or custom launcher. I am now on CM so can not test it.

Somebody else have to tell ya :)
[Oppo R7 Plus] vibranze:
Thanks mate, no worries. I will see how and update here if I managed to resolve it.

Does CM audio working in the latest build? ;)
[Oppo R7 Plus] elsuzio:
For the notification count in the icons you need a launcher that supports it. For example Nova launcher, but then you will also need another app as Missed It! or TeslaUnread.

With the stock ROM you cannot swap the back and menu button, but well, this device is so big, if you're a righty the back button is more useful in the right.

However I would love the ability to reconfigure the menu button and swap it with the recents menu item...
[Oppo R7 Plus] vibranze:
Thank you. Yeah I purchased Nova prime in the end and use TeslaUnread. As for the soft button configuration, I will wait for custom ROM. Cheers. ?

If you have the SDK installed make sure it's updated or use mfastboot either one will work with the larger file sizes.

yep, did someone actually check what is missing?

I mean, display drivers .. the drivers for the sensors which are not part of the SoC, such as Lux, camera drivers.. what else?

I am quite sure that looking at the manufacturer´s sites of these components, more drivers, or at least documentation how to drive the components could be found?

[Redmi Note 2 General] SkiFire13:
The same. Read the previous messages

~ Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime ~
[Redmi Note 2 General] I.nfraR.ed:
All these sources are only good to someone who wants to get familiar with mt6795 or MTK in particular,

however just because some source/phone has the same chipset doesn't mean much.

What we're interested in are the drivers and configs for the sensors/components used in a particular device.

So a generic source is of no use if you don't have those drivers and an average Joe can't find them on github,

especially on a new phone which does not share the same sensors as some older device.

Eventually you can get some of the configs by reverse engineering the stock kernel and many many sleepless nights,

but without the actual drivers (or at least something similar that you can base your work on) your hands are tied.

Unless Xiaomi publish the source, we're not going to see a completely working custom kernel, if any at all.

Custom kernel would solve a lot of issues, we can also lower chipset voltage to save battery, increase performance, etc.

Even GPU OC might be possible if it is not fully locked. But that's just in the realm of good imagination at the moment.

In other terms, this is a bare kernel and it is also old leaked pre-release source, I believe full of bugs.

Any news about AOSP 5.1 ?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimjewels:
As the title says. I tried to go back to stock and got stuck. I was new, and still am to this whole thing to a degree. I had a friend who helped me unlock, root, and slap on a custom rom. I learned about it in the process, but here is my problem. I tried to go back to stock, and locked my bootloader before I slapped on the stock rom. And I wiped the phone, cache, and dalvik etc.. well the OS is gone too. I would like to be able to use my SD card to load the stock rom but it wont read the Ext sd card. Brand new, 3rd diff card. I tried to use adb, but it wont see the device in the command prompt. I have the sdk dev installed and universal adb drivers as well as htc sync. I've rebooted multiple times to make sure drivers are useful. The apk installer can see my phone, adb commands do NOT. So for the moment my m9 is a paper weight, I've tried to read and follow the searches I've run across on here but I seem to be stuck. Phone boots, and stops at the white boot screen. I am S-ON and relocked.

This is the info it shows me

Radio-1.11

OS 1.32.651.30

When I reboot it goes into a white screen. gives options to reboot into bootloader, reboot to recovery etc... If I reboot to recovery it shows it is missing items

E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg

(Code -1)

E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_yes

(Code-1)

E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_no

(Code-1)

handle_cota_install: install cwpkg to /data/cwtemp/cwpg.zip

handle_cota_install: install cwprop to /data/data/cwtemp/cwprop

E: fail to open file: /sys/devices/platform/android_usb/hostmode

Write host_mode error

handle_cota_install: No CW files. Skip installation

I can't access my drive on the phone to store files, the only thing I can use is my sd card since adb wont see devices. And my phone wont read from the SD card ( Tried 3 diff ones ). And if I goto apply from sd card I get

E: Find no match PARTITION: for package path /sdcard/ptt.zip

E: Unknown volume for path []

E: Can't mount

E: failed to open last_install: No such file or directory

Finding update package....

Opening update package....

E: Failed to map file

-----------

But if I goto download mode, the pc will see the phone though APK Installer through taskbar notification. But not adb.:eek::silly::(

Sorry if I caused some of you do go "Seriously dude??!!" This is a headache, this I do know. I just want to either get this phone working again through stock ) Right now it's just a bunch of load up to bootloader screen and stop. No OS. And once again, wont read rom from sd card, wont even see sd. Says it can't access it.

And if I goto recovery mode it tells me that same junk about No CW files. skip installation. Am I as screwed as it sounds?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Use the full 1.32.651.30 RUU here

(originally from this thread)

I highly recommend you use the 1.32.651.30 one and NOT the newer 2.xx ones, because in the 2.x.xxx.x ones, (Android 5.1), a new setting has been implemented "Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking", if that is not checked, and it's not by default (and this can only be done during the booted ROM), you will not be able to unlock your bootloader again!! (so be careful!!)

EDIT: oh, and as far as I know, the M9 (unlike it's predecessors) doesnt need a relocked bootloader for RUU, even with S-ON
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimjewels:
Well now the problem is that everything goes fine up until it comes time to update the rom. I get an error code of 155 an unknown error. It tells me to use the correct ROM Utility and try again. But This is the correct one I'm using. I am a bit confused now. I have tried even reinstalling some drivers and such all over again just to make sure. And rebooted. It gives an error on the same part every time. It doesn't even get to Step 2/4

But on the plus side it does still respond to the reboot to bootloader command. The screen the phone gets stuck on otherwise...is the install screen. The arrows are not spinning and the progress bar has no progress. That is usually when I get a fastboot.exe error
[General Questions and Answers] sattech200:
Morning all!

I have a Verizon grandfathered unlimited data plan with one line which I curently have an S3 on. Over the weekend I bought a working S5 for $80 bucks. Guy said there was no issues with verizon. He even left sim card in it and I discovered it still has service. Well doing a little poking around I found in the 'my verizon' app that the phone upgrade eligibility is 02-2016.

I have an old verizon s3 thats dead with clean meid. Could that be used to swap with the current s5 to release the s5 from contract so that I could move it into my unlimited data account?

Or is there a better way to handle this? I get the impresion the previous owner is just going to abandon the verizon account so im not worried what happens on that end. Only that I have a clear phone that dosnt mess up my unlimited data.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
All you really have to do is put your Sim in the new phone and everything will be fine.

The only way there could be a problem is if the guy you bought the phone from is still under contract and he stops paying the bill. Then they will blacklist the phone, but that won't do anything to your unlimited account, the phone just won't work any more.
[General Questions and Answers] sattech200:
I have zero expectation that he is going to continue paying the bill. That's why I had the idea of replacing the contract phone with an already dead one then I wouldn't loose out.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
Well if his phone is paid for through contract completion or he just bought it out right, then you should be fine. I don't believe they have the right to blacklist a phone that's completely paid for in one way or another.

However, if it's not paid for and he stops paying the bill, there will be a problem.

If you put an old phone on his contract, I doubt that will help you. I would think they will blacklist the phone that's under contract regardless, because they have no right to blacklist your old phone.

That is just what seems logical to me, I don't know their procedure on this for fact.
[General Questions and Answers] sattech200:
This is what I'm expecting to happen.

I do believe you can swap phones while under contract. Ie if this S5 was dropped in water and died, I could obtain another verizon phone that wasn't under contract and swap the phones. It would seem to me then that would release the S5 from the contract but hold the S3 liable. If he defaulted on the contract then the S3 would get blacklisted because that's what's currently in the account under the contract. Or would they still blacklist the original phone even though its not in the account anymore? Anyone know the answer for certain?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
you can defiantly swap phones on an account, weather they are paid for or not. i have done it many times. there is no issue, until you dont pay the bill.

i see your point with putting the old phone on, and you may be right. however, i just dont see how they could legally blacklist a phone that no money is owed on. i could be wrong though.

since you already bought the phone, i dont see where you have much options really, regardless of an accurate answer to your question.

just put his sim in your old phone, which will register it to his account. then you will just have to wait it out for a while and hope the s5 dont stop working.
[General Questions and Answers] sattech200:
Thank you for the input. If I knew for certain what the answer would be = I want a note 3or4 but the S5 will work great for the time being since $ is so tight. If the phone is going to get blacklisted with Verizon then it goes to the girlfriend to replace her iphone on Straight Talk. If I can get it cleared through verizon then it will be mine and the girlfriend gets my old S3....Hmm will I be able to move it to Straight Talk if blacklisted on verizon?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
sorry, i dont know if there is a universal blacklisting that crosses carrier lines.
