[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddalex:
My wife phone's died, too, last night

This is an amazing coincidence. My wife phone's, heavily used for the past 2 years, started to throw a lot of app errors last night. I rebooted it, and now it is stuck during boot, cycling through "red logo" and "intel logo" - after 5-10 seconds on the intel logo, it restarts the red M logo.

I think it's an amazing coincidence, for phones to fail in the same way in the same day - probably something in the software. This phone was running 4.1.2 EU rooted, no other change. What version of software do you have ?

I'll dig a bit deeper into it tonite.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alseid:
Honestly, I have no idea. I never looked into the specs and software of her phone before this happened. It's likely it was also 4.1.2 (though not EU, I'm in South America), but all I can say for sure is that it was not rooted because my wife never wanted me to mess with it for fear of me breaking it.

Maybe if I had, now I could do some recovery or something. That's irony for you.

So you're thinking of some kind of scheduled failure? That'd be really shady.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
No it's known as the superbrick. Emmc brick on the galaxy line phones. It seems that our device is suffering from it. The eemc corrupt itself and that's not repairable with software. It can be prevented, but then they need to patch the kernel of the from and the kernel in the bootloader and other stuff.

It just happens, luckily for u only after 2 years.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddalex:
I managed to get a shell on my device (fastboot, flashed CWM recovery, got ADB shell in recovery), and it shows the internal MMC is dead. There are tons of "mmcblk0: card failures" entries in dmesg.

I called Motorola support, and they were very nice - unfortunately, the solution is to replace the motherboard, since apparently the internal MMC is soldered on. This is above £100, which makes it pointless.

I guess a dedicated developer would get Android flashed to the external MMC and configure the inittab mounts to use that instead of the internal MMC, but there is no out-of-box software solution.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
Luckily, that's doable. But then we must have access to the boot partition. Or we need to try something with the recovery. And u need a good sdcard. One that matches or exceeds the read/write speed of the scardslot.

It's only never tried before on this device. Many could'nt get even to the recovery or flash a recovery/boot partition.

I'm about to buy a 'dead' Razr I stuck on the red Motorola logo...

I thought I just had to flash the firmware... but maybe I'll keep my money!
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
Don't. the chances that it has an EMMC error is huge. Most of the time the person with a Razr I stuck on Red Logo already tried things to get it working.

There are still no methodes or methodes translated to this phone that can fix this error.

Never mind, I found it... maybe I need "find my glasses".. <ggg>

Hi, I haven't had to do this for a while, but I couldn't find my phone, and went to the watch, but couldn't locate the "find my phone" app. Wasn't this a built in program with either android wear or the watch?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vice86:
Screen on my G2 was totally cracked up but the LED notification light still worked. Was red when I plugged in the charger. Was green when I turned on phone.

Got the screen replaced and now the LED notification light doesn't work. Charge the phone and no red light. Turn on the phone and no green light. Options for LED is turned on.

Is the notification led integrated into the screen? So I may have a faulty replacement screen?

Also read that maybe a factory reset may work but thats a last resort to check cuz I don't feel like setting phone all up again.

On a side note..do those screen repair stores you find in the mall usually use OEM or crap quality replacements? Je told me oem but i trust no one. Noticing as I press keys as i type I see parts of screen near finger get a little darker like if u press down on a LCD screen too hard. Other than that the screen is fine so far.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
No its not.

Its a seperate part that attaches next to the selfie camera on the logic board.

Looks like the shop was in a hurry and forgot to connect the LED

As for the screen, I can say you have an aftermarket non OEM.

OEM they use LOCA or OCA to bond the Digitizer to the LCD.

By doing so, you have no weird darker/lighter effects when typing on it.

Just like the stock screen.

If you have those effects, I would recommend you have them replace the screen with one that's OEM and not an aftermarket.

My first screen

repair story

went like yours only I swapped it in myself.

Come to find out the seller sold me an aftermarket screen claiming it was OEM.

I had him refund me for it since I called him out on it quickly
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vice86:
Darn...hate confrontation so was hoping it was part of the screen so i can easily tell him to fix. Now he can just tell me it probably wasn't working due to dropping it but I know it was working. Could always fight the charge on my credit card if he's unwilling to do something about it.

As for aftermarket..i can tell him what you told me but he could jsut stick to his guns, lie and stay "its OEM" and probably nothing i can do about it.

Thanks for the info!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vice86:
Using a light...it looks like there's nothing in there where the sensor/LED shoudl be..its like i can see to the back of the case.

EDIT: Opened up...the whole proximity part is missing!! I'm assuming the LED light is part of that since that's not working and its right next to it.

EDIT2: I guess the IR blaster is part of that too...lol

Thing that pisses me off now is that he didn't put in my factory stock part and will replace it with a possibly crappy aftermarket part.

I'm demanding some money back for this nonsense.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ywang10:
Hello, my G928F Europe version drain battery so fast, I checked battery usage, Android OS and Android system drain most of battery, always more than screen and any other apps, especially, android OS always stay awake, even the screen is off. Drain 30% battery in the night(8 hours sleeping time). However, if I set up flight mode, it was only 5%. I have reset the phone, clean the cache and also disabled some services, it does not work.

Any body has solutions? I am really appreciate it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathlessOne:
If you turned on airplane mode and the draining was less, then it must be that you're living in place with crappy cellphone reception so the phone keeps on trying to find a good stable signal for you to connect. If you have crappy LTE networks, switch to 3G/2G or 3G Only from settings. That should solve it.

[Amazon Fire Phone] Farlicimo:
Has anyone used Tasker to successfully read notifications on the FP? I installed Google Services then loaded Tasker and for the life of me can't get Tasker notification events to fire. I am trying to make Tasker send repeat notifications when I receive one since the notification function on FP is so terrible I miss them a lot. I can get other events and states so to run on Tasker but not notification. Sans that, anyone had good success with an app that can do repeating notifications? I've tried a bunch that either don't offer the feature to don't actually repeat even if it has the feature. Thanks.

Thank you answer back! I did exactly the following:

The model is my Xperia E3 D2212 dual sim.

- Unlocked the bootloader, :laugh:

- CWM installed a custom recovery, :laugh:

- I reinstalled the original rom, :laugh:

- I made a backup of the entire system using CWM. :D

And everything went super normal way, without complications. ;)

The mistake was when he wanted to installing a custom ROM called "AOSP_L_MR1_150718_flamingo" because I found out later that he had not read that it was for ANOTHER XPERIA as follow the you tube tutorial . The ROM's for another Xperia, if I remember correctly. :(

After doing the installation process of the new AOSP ROM, the phone is less than a minute on the logo of SONY XPERIA down with, looped, can not enter the bootloader, and no longer recognizes the PC. I can not recognize it at FlashTool. I think that's all. :crying:

I greatly appreciate your attention. :o

I ended up editing this text in the google translator, then I'm sorry, if you are not very good.

Thank you

Thanks, my error was with the fastboot driver and adb in flashtool. The Windows drivers wasn't been recognized, I've to install the drivers, all of they.

2) Install Flashtool-drivers.exe from flashtool subfolder /drivers and select flashmode and fastboot drivers.

3) Run Flashtool and open XperiFirm (letters XF on logo)

4) Select Xperia E3 Flamingo -> proper D22** you have -> Market -> and select latest release below PayPal logo

5) Press "Download" and wait for download and unpacking

6) Switch off phone (if power on/off button does not respond then open back cover and push "OFF" by using pen)

7) Press and hold volume down button and connect phone to PC using original USB cable

8) Using Flashmode flash device

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadesocket:
I've heard that doing so alleviates some lag that people have been complaining about. Any truth to this?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattpdl:
First of all, please note that disabling decryption requires root, which also requires doing a factory reset. While disabling encryption will certainly speed up the phone, Google has improved encryption in Android Marshmallow so that it doesn't decrease performance as much as it did in Lollipop. You may not notice the difference. As for a factory reset, it will certainly get rid of any lag caused by any changes you made to the phone, but not any caused by Android.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
Root and decryption are two different things. It seems you can have either or both. I'm curious to know if decryption carries a better experience myself also. I don't really care about benchmarks, mostly if it eliminates lag.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoenixTank:
Every post I've read has said that they haven't noticed a difference between decrypted and encrypted with the 5X - though I haven't seen any benchmarks comparing. If it helps, the Ars Technica review shows how the I/O performance compares to previous phones. (3rd graph set in the Performance section)

I'm not sure whether it is actually a Marshmallow specific feature or not, but the 5X and the 6P are using the cryptography extensions that are part of the ARMv8 instruction set to perform encryption and decryption. The performance hit should be negligible.

Everyone clearly remembers the bad rep the N6 has for this, but it just didn't have proper support for this feature, though it apparently got a bit better later on. Right now it seems like jumping at ghosts for the 5X & 6P.

OP, which android build are you on? I'm wondering if the I build makes a difference. At least one person has returned their phone due to the lag, and had a replacement that didn't have that issue.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwang:
i was experiencing random lag with my n5x and I ended decrypting the phone and disabling zram and it made a big difference.

Before doing this, my phone was noticeably laggier and slower than my nexus 6 (decrypted). After decrypting and disabling zram, my n5x is now just as fast as my n6.

I did a speed test like those youtube videos, where you open apps at the same time and see which one finishes first, and now the n6 and n5x both finish opening apps almost exactly at the same time.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadesocket:
My build is mda89e. I don't have any noticeable lag, I was just curious if it would change anything.

How would you characterize the lag if it were present?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k.s.deviate:
I decrypted and rooted, did not notice any difference in daily use. (dont care for benchmarks) I did however notice that the phone boots much faster after decryption.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwang:

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipL:
Hi

Disabling ZRAM will wear out your flash memory quicker, the whole point of ZRAM is to speed up the phone and protect flash memory from hundreds or thousands of tiny write operations.

From the Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zram)

Decryption doesn't make much difference (it will speed up boot times if you had a power on password, but that is simply because it is booting twice to offer us a protected Android environment first to get the password, and this was optional anyway, we get the choice during setup). The whole phone isn't encrypted anyway, just user data, hence overall the difference between encrypted and decrypted isn't that wide.

Unless we have some evidence of the speed up, I'm tempted to put down any suggestion of speed up down to the placebo effect :laugh:

If there is an improvement, It might be as simple as a factory reset is good for the phone due to some optimization undertaken with the flash memory at that time, or recompiling apps, that has been skipped when loading the device with an image at the factory. Perhaps that is why some people are seeing no problems with lag because they've played about first and had a mess around, then did a factory reset at some point to set up their device up as a daily driver.

A true test would be to do factory reset with everything at defaults, run a measured test, then decrypt and remove ZRAM and do a second test.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwang:
This is wrong. Disabling zram doesn't mean u are adding a swap to the flash, so the kernel isn't going to write to the flash.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locklear308:
What's up guys. So I had put MM on a friend's N6 for her so that she could enjoy the best of what android can offer (got her to sell her Iphone, Yessss)

Anyway... Now that I have a 64GB nexus 6 of my own and after many days of testing... I feel like something is wrong.

She is a pretty standard user, while I am a super heavy user... and neither of us can get past roughly 10 hours of total time, regardless of SOT. I've tried Chroma, Light, and Euphoria (MM builds) on both of our devices and the results are almost always the same. For her, the past week has been a max of 10 hours total time, but sometimes as little as 6 hours without use if not less, with less than 1 hour of SOT. Then on mine, which I've only had for 2 days mind you, the results are strangely similar, the best I got was 9 hours of total time with 3 hours SOT. While our results are somewhat different they both still... suck.

Is there some kind of magical nonsense I missed that must be preformed before moving to MM? Both devices were on LP to start with. I'm honestly just moving back to 5.1.1 for now (Mainly for xposed anyway) but...still I know that after reading so many good comments in threads that this cannot be some general "MM sucks" thing. It must be our devices, or the way I am modding them.

Basically, for both devices I did the following...

Unlock Bootloader

Flash TWRP, the one that was said to work on MM

Backed up Stock Rom

Flashed a custom ROM

...Is there something new that I am not aware of? I've tried to search a bit but I've honestly not sure what to search for exactly. I tried searching for firmware...but that didn't really seem conclusive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
battery life has nothing to do with you rooting/unlocking/flashing your phone. it all has to do with how you set up, which apps you install and use, how you use the device, and your signal quality. that said, if you keep your brightness high, you will get lowered battery life, no matter what.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locklear308:
right, but the fact that we both have different uses (mine being heavy hers being light) and use different apps...yet the results are similar?
