[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitiebear:
so how did you get the phone? did you buy Bell and cancel or get from expansys, clove etc. - I want the Z5 on the telus network and i want my existing number (not hard, i beleive it comes with my sim) - i can find unlock codes online (for pay) easy enough but wondering which is the best route to get a Z5

I bought it from Ebay from HongKong. Came unlocked.

so it was a fully working on CDN networks? I looked at buying Chinese phones in the past but the frequencies were different (these were Chinese brands, not samsung or sony however)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitiebear:
just wondering how the phone is working to this date? Also im wondering about the dual vs the regular version of the phone E6683 vs E6653 --- i find that i can get the unlocked dual 6683 for cheaper then i can the unlocked single 6653 ??? why is that, is that because north america uses the 6653 and china the 6683? The bell version to my knowledge is a single sim

are the differences between the two literally that one has two sim slots? if so why the heck is that one cheaper? makes me wonder if the 6683 & 6653 have different frequencies

Hi, my Nexus 5 is locked and the LCD is not working. Nothing comes up on the screen at all.

I have tried the software Mobile Go, but unfortunately I have not enabled the USB debug mode, which I do not know how to enable now.

Can someone please advice how can I get some of my data back.

I've tried modifying SystemUI.apk, got black wallpaper, no status & nav bar on startup :p

What I've tried :

compiling with apktool, signing, zipaligned

updating original apk with compiled resources at store(0%) compression level

I've tried all xposed modules relevant, nothing works the way I want

I want a simple solid colored status & nav bar

Any other thing you can suggest that I should try or any other way to accomplish this?

Since flashing the 6.0 image to my nexus 6 I get a strange popping sound at the start of tracks in Google Play Music - when playing through external speakers via the headphone jack.

There's not a problem when playing through the internal speakers.

The issue wasn't present until I moved to Marshmallow and it's not present on my Nexus 5 running 6.0.

Thanks Darth!

But as I said, I tried several apps and didn't find anything wrong.

However, I switched my focus to the possibility of a router infection, and oh surprise it seems to be the rootcause.

Here are some links that report being redirected on several devices to ads pages (I use code since I can't post links in a new account), in this case adsmatte.com:

What is VERY suspicious is that many of the results, suggest downloading "Spy hunter".

Here are some examples:

http://solvepcproblem.com/remove-359198-epara-ru/
http://removevirusvideo.com/stop-epara-ru-from-redirecting-epara-ru-removal-tips/

Now, how do you solve it?

Simple:

Disconnect from any WiFi, clear your browser's cache (and even your OS's). CCleaner does a pretty good job for this.

Then go to your suspicious router and factory reset it (or ask your ISP to do that remotely) and update its firmware. After all thosesteps, you can connect again.

What the malware does is change your DNS towards a malicious one.

I haven't done that reset to my GF's router, but that should solve the problem.

Thansk for everything, and I hope this works for somebody else!

2,150mAh battery.....come on....
[HTC One A9] neo4uo:
Although you make a valid point. Have you seen the battery life of the Nexus 5x on 6.0? It has a 2700mah battery and one guy testing it said that after a full day of use he had 76% phone batty left. Now I know this isn't the same phone, but we need to hold out and see what M is going to do for battery life. Also supposedly with quick charge 3.0 the phone will by 0-90% charged in 15 minutes. I know that Android hasn't had the best track record for battery life, but maybe it will all change with M!
[HTC One A9] Giblet-dono:
just lik it all changed in lollipop, oh and in kitkat, what about jellybean? and icecream sandwich...

Google has been shouting a LOT about batterylife for YEARS

But even they are just waiting, looking for that new innovation in batteries and/or SOCs
[HTC One A9] wangxiaohu:
I compare from Hardware device to device, not from Android version to version. If M gives extra battery life to A9, it might give even longer batt life to some other phone.
[HTC One A9] Foukos:
On each new version they get something right but mess with things that were working.

If they moved the fingerprint sensor in the power button like sony did and placed boomsound speakers bam!!! I would buy the phone instantly.
[HTC One A9] combat goofwing:
Modaco Paul Obrien just tweeted "Actual numbers to follow in my review, but One A9 battery life from a 2150mAh battery is nothing short of miraculous for my usage."
[HTC One A9] headcreepz:
Really hope HTC gets it right...This phone could be my next.....Have to wait and see.
[HTC One A9] Shark87:
Actually its more like they moved back on battery size. The M8 and M9 both had fairly large batteries (between 2600-2800mAh if I'm not mistaken).
[HTC One A9] gregag:
So hard to understand what they're thinking. I can't see in which direction they're going.

Hope next phone will be something serious!
[HTC One A9] mlodykaras:
HTC sometimes resemble 14 year old teenagers going from one extremum to the other. I really don't understand what they did here. They put 2150mha battery in a phone sized exactly the same as M9. My oh my. Why htc? The only reason I could think of is that they wanted to advertise quick charging and put 80% in 15mins instead of 60% because it will look better!

They finally released a decent midrange device for a decent prize but once again they f... up!

The funniest thing is that they always put so much emphasis on the camera (since htc one x) and they were always mediocre at best because the software controlling the image sensor was garbage.

I just hope some sane people will do some good with M10. I really wanna try another HTC.
[HTC One A9] Pucciano:
It can be that the 2200 mA are enough for the stock OS without any 3th Party Apps.

For example the iPhone 6: If I have restore the device as a new one without download any Apps or connected Mail Services the device run for a week. But if I install WhatsApp, Facebook, an IMAP or Exchange Server the battery is go dead after 7 - 8h.

Not the device is the big issue here, its the software and the user. Nobody test his device with 3th Party Apps. A real field test is that what the manufacturer need.

I think the A9 has a great battery runtime - but only out of the box.
[HTC One A9] gavinfabl:
I have the Nexus 5X, uses 30% in a day. Amazing.
[HTC One A9] dbornack:
This is complete BS. You know damn well phone companies need to spec out phones for the real world. Now, their claims for a certain number of hours on a single charge, of course are when tested with stock software and nothing else. But they know damn well that in the real world, they need at least 50% more juice.

2100 mAh.... disgusting. How is any company releasing a phone without at least 2800 is beyond me. I have a Droid Turbo at 3900, and it's still as slim and sexy as any phone out there.
[HTC One A9] fix-this!:
ive owned every iteration of every android phone out there and lag and bad battery life were present. doesn't matter how big the cpu or how large the battery was.
[HTC One A9] Pucciano:
Hey dbornack,

this is wrong. Apple only tests with stock ROM

without

any Apps.

You can this read here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/battery.html

If i have more threads running on a device it is normal that the battery is draining quickly then with less. You can try it by yourself: restore the device as a new one and compare it with a lot of Apps installed. You will feel the difference :good:
[HTC One A9] Cashreedhar:
You are right that "phone companies need to spec out phones for the real world". At the same time, it is early to say anything about HTC's 2100 mAh approach. Because, show me a phone company (Android) that has the specs in the real world (not on papers) to have the best battery/performance/display. eg. -we know when HTC released HTC One X, it was blazing fast and now its not! Same with the other series/brands. Now the question is what is going wrong - The newly released IPhone 6s plus lags, with top specs Samsung Edge plus lags (Sammies might be afraid to talk on this), almost all of them, because everyone is in the spec race. At one point Apple got it right and they made the balanced processor which consumes less RAM and battery. Now we need to look for such a balanced device, which doesn't boast with SOC SD820, QHD display for which 3,000 MaH/3GB RAM is not sufficient. We need a device which has amazing screen (QHD - no need for human eyes in 5 inch screen), great design, great performance, awesome camera and good memory. I think SD617 is best at handling these tasks quietly, at least from what I am hearing from testers.

When we get the phone on our hands, we will really know the truth. If HTC made that balanced device, it's a new revolution in the android industry. It seems HTC trusts its efforts and that is the reason they are offering free return after a month use (on the phone we bought on special price of $399). And we really don't have a reason to complain at this point of time, as we have all opportunity to test it and change the mind later too.

I welcome this new revolution of HTC, hopefully the the phone turns out to be the best! and the marketing strategy to repair the damages made in the past is very good too. It needs guts to take challenge in such a competitive market, and I am really happy to see HTC doing it again.

The price point - I think it is going to be $699 off contract after the discount ends. That sounds reasonable because of its after sale service, which includes following:

1. Replacing damaged device for free

2. Free switch from one service provider to other one

3. +15 days Android update

4. Warranty even after unlocking bootloader (not sure if it is only for unlocked devices)

Please don't compare this with Oppo, huawei, Micromax and other phones.. This phone has premium hardwares inside and after sale service is awesome. I need not worry much on dropping my phone every time I hold in my hand. I have Micromax device with top specs and processor lagging every time my friend used it.

PS - I don't care on the slogan of people - HTC copied Apple. Being a customer I am not affected. After signing 10 year no sue agreement Apple stole HTC's design (immediately after signing) and today if HTC's phone looks like Apple it's not their problem. Anyway both can't sue each other and not waste millions of $. IPhone 6 design is most liked design (by maximum phone users in the world - sales history says that) and today if HTC has the same design, I have no reason to hate.

My old m7 does pretty well with a 2350 mA battery, and little optimization. I'm betting it will be much better than that.

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

I agree. I'm much more upset about the speakers than the battery. And there's a lot to like. I thought about the 5x but this could be much better. I hope I'm right.
[HTC One A9] jmkhenka:
M8 had 2700mah ad M9 2850 or something. And they last me a good time. The N5 had 2300 and some had issues but most not.

2100 is fine with the display and cpu combo. And some reports bad life from even the 6p with 3500 and the moto style where no battery life campion with even 3500.
[HTC One A9] AlfaGTV:
Finally someone who sums it up perfectly. I'm looking forward to buy this phone and to be honest I really don't care about the battery size. I don't think it would be worse than my nexus 5 and btw I don't understand the problems some people had with the nexus. It all depends on how you use a phone.

The only thing I don't understand is htc's price politics. Here in Germany it's gonna cost 580€, but in the US it's only at 399$ PLUS here we only get 16GB internal storage not 32 and 2GB RAM and not 3.
[HTC One A9] fix-this!:
if iphone 6s users are fine with sub 2000mah then im sure the a9 will do fine to get through most of the day.

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ----------

you must be in the minority because most are saying the battery life is terrible.
[HTC One A9] jmkhenka:
Iphone 6s has 1810mAh battery.

the point is that size is not really a good guide when it comes to battery life. There is devices with 3500 that is no better then older ones with sub 2500 mAh. Larger screens (and higher res especially) take lot's of power in both backlight AND cpu.

1080p is fine on a 5" device and honestly, if the device has good stand by drain the phone will have power to spare when you surf the webz.

With my current useage the M8 I have now uses around 40-50% per day (07:00 - 22:00) and lasts two days during work days, but I always charge during the day if im expected to go out during the evening - just so that I dont use it up and can't call a cab at 04:00.

2100 is going to be enough for daily use and for those times i need more power I still have to charge. The 6P has a larger battery but has lots more drain compared, so I not expecting big changes in my behavior.

Im gonna order a 6p and if that device is same or worse then my M8 battery wise, im swapping it for a A9. Also size is a factor, the OPO was to big for me and 6p is larger. At a distance i just loved the N6 but the width was to much.

Also love HTC. Had them sice the old windows phone days (htc diamond 2 was my first smartphone)

I've just jumped ship to the LG G4 after I was getting annoyed with my s6 battery. I hated the fact that for it to be vaguely good, you had to disable pretty much everything!

I've just been doing a little tweaking on my new G4 and I let it sit with all my normal apps installed to test standby. I just got to 8 hours 44minutes before the battery dropped to 99%. ( I was playing with it since the 8 1/2 hour mark).

How? I installed Greenify and Amplify.

ROM: S3V3N's rom v 6.0

Greenified:

Facebook ( Wake up path cut off)

Facebook messenger ( wake up path cut off)

My EE

One drive

Onenote

Facebook is known to be a big drain, but I use it and don't like to fully disable it. With these settings I still get Facebook notifications!

I still receive gmail etc too. It all seems to work as it should, but doesn't drain for no reason!

Amazing (meaningless) 100%-99% drain? Of course.
