[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] err0r76:
I've been running this kernel since it's release on Emporia v3 and couldn't be happier. I tried out a port of the Note 5 (Echoerom) and ran into the following issue: I lose radio/modem when I flash any beastmode versions. If I flash the AEL multivarient kernel all is good. I have a N910W8 so I was wondering if anyone with the 910t/t3 has attempted the same and ran into any issues...

Anyone having issues with private mode?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] widto08:
Been running the latest 1.1.1 for a couple days, this is what I've noticed.

Stock rooted t3 running exposed/wannam.

The good: battery life is good, no fc's, runs smooth.

The ugly: after about 6~8 hours can't make a phone call, immediately cancels after initiating call, reboot or airplane mode fixes temporarily, Bluetooth lags after 15~20 minutes of use, voice goes out of sync with movies, screen mirroring does not work neither does private mode.

1.1 rage worked well but still experiences some of the issues above. Private mode does not work with this kernel either.

Just an information post of my experiences with latest kernel, nothing more.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGingerlyGamer:
So recently I flashed some Marshmallow roms and i missed my xposed so i went back to lollipop. After noticing some smoothness loss, I then flashed stock lollipop and still have issues.

Has anybody else had this problem? If so, do you have any solutions? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
That happened to me too when I went back to Lollipop a few days ago for the exact same reason. I tried everything and nothing could match the smoothness and/or battery life of Marshmallow. I said screw it and flashed 6.0 a few hours ago. That's the only solution I found.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] AJ1410:
I've purchased unlock for this phone and I should have checked if it was connecting to the server before ordering the unlock. When I try to unlock it through the default unlock app it's giving me this error. Has anyone gotten this error before? Any fix to it?
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] AJ1410:
I tried contacting them, but I didn't realise that their policy states no refunds if I get this error as I was suppose to check before ordering. It's a legit company and I've bought unlock codes many times from them. Anyway, it seems for some reason the phone isn't able to connect to the servers. I tried a hard reset and everything pretty much.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] mbm262004:
There really isnt much you can do then, if you missed a step or didnt verify something before ordering it unfortunately your just SOL. If there policy is such that no refunds are given then you just gotta eat your mistake. Hey dont feel to bad, we have all messed up at one time or another doing something with our phones. I guess you just live an learn from it.

You can keep trying to connect to the server though. Maybe its just down. Other than that my only other idea is if you actually have the keys to unlock your phone try looking on google for a manual way to get to the unlocking menu. There are hidden service menus for our phones but they are not always available, it varies from model to model
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fabio885:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvlrspencer:
I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere as I have tried to look.

I recently received my nexus 6p and prior to that i had a Note 4. I needed a nano sim card so I went to verizon and they gave me a nano sim and activated it in my nexus 6p (surprisingly for free). Ever since I made the switch i have received horrible MMS picture quality. Images are coming in anywhere from 16kb-52kb and are very blurry. I contacted Google who wasn't sure how or what the issue was. Then i contacted verizon who i figured were the real culprits (maybe confused because they don't support 6p and images coming in at lowest size possible?). My brother has the 5x and was able to directly swap his sim card from his galaxy s6 and does not have this issue at all. I have no idea where to turn

tl;dr - since switching to nexus 6p on verizon, i am receiving horrible quality picture messages
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvlrspencer:
is anyone else even having this problem? and did you switch from a micro to nano usb that was activated by verizon?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00194:
Hi, did you check your APN settings? I don't have Verizon (T-Mobile) so I'm not sure what it needs to be set to but I'm sure you can Google the settings. If all fails, you can try to just reset the APN to see if that fixes your issue. Good luck.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvlrspencer:
just finished looking at this and the APN settings are correct, thanks

I got this email from textra as a solution, havene't bee nable to try it yet
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Candylicks:
This thread has been a lifesaver for me! First of all my issue is slightly different but worth posting. Since root I have been unable to send MMS, SMS have been fine. They get stuck on sending and it was locking up my entire messaging app. This was the same using default and hangouts. I verified APN settings, set chrome to default browser app.... nothing worked.

The posted email about the ad blocker messing up messaging apps was what fixed this for me. I stopped Adblock Plus from running automatically on boot and my MMS instantly started working again. If you have any sort of ad blocking apps try disabling them to see if it helps.

So happy this fixed for me I was thinking I was going to have to do a clean flash.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SightSeeker:
I was having the same problem. I am running AdAway and it that is not blocking MMS. Adblock plus was blocking the same port MMS is using. I would think they will fix it any day so just keep checking for updates.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdMire:
Having this same issue and it's awful. Anyone find a solution because above didn't work. Pictures from iPhone/Android looks like ****.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilshunter:
I have this problem but only on Textra. When textra is the default text app, the mms pics I receive are of much lower quality. I had used textra on my previous note 3 and it was fine. Ever since the switch to the 6p, the quality has gotten low. When I use google's messenger as the default app, the mms pics come in normally. Next, I go open textra, I see the normal looking mms that was received but Strangely, a duplicate is also present. And that duplicate picture has lower resolution. I sent Textra the screenshots of my problem, unfortunately I didn't get a solution. They said they would forward the issue to the dev team and they'd work on it.

There's been several updates on Textra since, but none have fixed the issue for me =( I love Textra, but right now I'm back to using google messenger cuz of this issue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kubes069:
I have this issue as well. It's so annoying that I can't read anything that comes to me with text that isn't huge. I hope someone finds a solution. I am using Textra, maybe that's the culprit?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] himlims:
i got myself a jasjar couple days ago.

but the device keeps rebooting/reseting every 15min. or whatever.

so i tried to update the rom version with a more recent one.

however ... now my device doesn't do anything at all.

it's frozen at the bootloader if i'm correct.

only thing it displays is 'serial' at top of the screen and 'version 1.00' at the bottom.

i tried a hard reset, soft reset.... always ends up back at this screen.

could anyone plz help me?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cktlcmd:
Sounds like you just need to reflash your device. Use this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=319838

Unpack the zip file and run the MaUpgradeNoID file.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] himlims:
i've done that. but the phone keeps rebooting.

just after spash screen the screen goes black.

is there a way to backup my current radio/ext rom etc.?? so i can restor?

i have the WM ultimate as suggested, but keeps rebooting.

i tried a hard reset, which sometimes helps.

but when i disconnect my charger/usb cable the phone goes off within a few secs.

i tried with 3 batteries, all result the same so can't be that i think.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Bulldog:
As my understanding your device doesnt boot as long you are pluged to power isnt it? if I am right try this:

clean the contact point of your battery and contact clips on your device (golden clips) use a pcb board cleaner
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] himlims:
lets say the power is at 90% but wouldn't boot.

but when connected with usb/power it does load, and needs to stay connected till the 'enter pin'-screen prompts.

i think this issue is related to an unstable mix of rom/ram/radio information.

after i tried some custom cooked images everything seems fine
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chanti548:
please port it,it's an awesome os.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orcam:
It is quite a big job. I think if you want to encourage a Dev to look into it, you are going to need to come across a bit less rude and say a bit more than "..port it..". XDA is not a place for you to order Devs around. Don't clog up the forums with single line demands please.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dksoni411:
So you mean if he says

"Please Port it"

A 100 or more times then a dev will feel happy and he will port it. Funny.

He is just giving his suggestion. If any dev like it he will port (On his own will). If a dev don't like it. He will not.

So according to theory of general discussion, he is not ordering a dev to port it. All he is doing is requesting (as he already said "Please)...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orcam:
If a dev wished to port it, then a dev would port it, asking for someone to port it is hardly enough encouragement for a developer to port a whole rom. That was my point.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dksoni411:
Hmm...

Interesting point. ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moist_line:
Hello there,

After much inquiry, I've become undecided about this phone. I have been looking for a 4.7-5in phone with a good and snappy camera, battery, USA bands, and micro sd support, and the z5 compact seems to fit the bill. However, I keep reading problems about this device mainly concerning its software and camera. I really like the device given all it has to offer but I'm just not inclined to dish out $500+ on a device that has a problematic camera i.e. blurred edges caused by software or hardware, no warranty (here in the USA), over-heating, sony ui, etc. I currently have an LG G4 which absolutely meets my needs but like I said, I'm looking for a smaller phone for traveling and one hand handling.

So my question for those who own the Z5c, is it really THAT bad and will the firmware update fix the purported problems of this device? I'm concerned about the blurry edges being a hardware issue and perhaps Sony is just covering their tracks by saying that an "update" will fix that problem. If you have updated your device, could you post a sample of the fixed camera or at least let us know here?

Really appreciate your time and input!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woza72:
Coming from the z1 compact and z3 compact, although I loved those phones I did find the camera sub par, and the external speaker volume too low and muffled, the front and back screens were finger print magnets and easily scratched.

But I love the compact series and put my hope and money back into the z5-compact.

Had mine for 2 weeks now (Arctic white) and I love the new design, the no finger print frosted rear glass and the front screen also just doesn't seem to attract finger prints either!, improved and much louder external speakers, the camera has improved dramatically. I have none of the reported issues of blurred edges, slow camera opening etc it's all good. Oh and the fingerprint scanner is awesome!

I love this phone to death it's perfect in my eyes. It will be hard to part with this when it comes time to upgrade to the z6 compact ☺
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notchr302:
Does the software seem good and fast? No stutters or lag?

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakorcarnis0:
There were stutters and lags, but since the last update they all are gone.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notchr302:
I'm so confused because some say there is still lag after the update. Ugh lol
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
I am one of those who would say that the lags are gone after the update. And whatever that guy said, I agree wholeheartedly. This phone is a beast. I also come from a Z3 Compact and I am loving the Z5c. Especially the camera :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woza72:
It was a little stuttery straight out of the box but I downloaded Sony PC companion (just googled it) and then downloaded the latest firmware 32.0.A.6.152 (it took a couple of hours, which by all reports is normal) then updated my phone.

Happy to report it is buttery smooth with no stutters or lags all super fast.

Interesting to see that the pre installed photo analyzer app (Sony) which was reportedly causing some lag, had disappeared in the latest firmware.

I hope this has helped you with your decision.

Cheers
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moist_line:
Do you still have the blurry edges or has it been fixed?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woza72:
99% sure it's good. You be the judge. Just a quick picture, tried to place items on every edge/corner.

I'm sitting at the park, it's dusk and a little cloudy. No flash, superior auto, 8mp.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldSkewler:
I've had the Z5C for a week now and I can't comment too much on certain details because this is my very first Android phone - I am coming straight from a Nokia 808. The phone is compact, slick-looking, seems incredibly fast to me and I am liking the Android experience as a whole, although a few things Symbian had were simpler and more elegant (changing phone profiles, searching for contacts under phone, for instance).

The one issue I have, and that is a big one and it is so big of an issue that I registered today on XDA to ask for help, is the extremely poor photo/camera quality. I cannot understand what is going on here. This is a $600 2015 brand new release phone. Something must be wrong either with the software or hardware on my phone, which sucks since I purchased it for US operation (no warranty). I do not know how to express in words how disappointed I am with the camera. Let's just say that my 2012 Nokia 808 takes photos comparable to my SLR system. I was expecting at least equivalent photo quality from a modern/newer phone.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woza72:
What are your thoughts on the quick photo I posted? All standard settings in quite average light? Do you see any of the issues you are experiencing on your phone?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldSkewler:
For the resolution posted, I dont see any issues. What I see on my photos is some sort of sharpening which causes details to be lost when zooming in. And believe me, I am not even remotely pixel-peeking, just basic cropping for creative purposes.

I'll try to post some sample photos to illustrate what I am facing here.

Cheers,

BB

If you haven't already, you might want to check the main Xperia Z5 subforum about this issue, specifically this thread where they talk about the camera, and the best settings for particular lighting. It could be you have a defective camera though, and if so, I feel for ya since I also imported my device.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldSkewler:
Exactly how my photos look like! Thanks for linking me to this thread, even though what I learned from it is not exactly great news!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exploreresp:
Same problem for me. It's a very expansive phone and you have to read pages of forums to understand how to make the most of it.

But still, the camera to me is a complete disaster. The app is cheap, very laggy, menus are terrible and the most improtant part, it takes poor photos.

Oversharpened and zooming in a tiny bit on a 23Mp pictures is just horrible.

The photo shared a few post back in the park is just awful too, sorry bro :) no offense, but it's not a defective camera it's just what is sold.

When you come from other brands, you are automatically disapointed.

P.S. videos are quite amazing though, especially in 60fps and the management of the edit app of videos is very good too.

I just switched to the nexus 5X, and there are no comparaison. Much much simpler, you don't need to test every little setting to take a good pic and zooming in is incredible, the best.

Yet I really loved the compact shape and overall build quality of the z5 device.

Comments non related to the camera is : the system is quite good as it is very similar to stock android but a little disappointed too by the performance.

I don't speak about lags and everything as it is quite fluid, but it just takes time to open or reload apps compared to my other devices.

I am still keeping the device to see if there will be improvement (there should be a major camera app update this month) but i don't believe in miracles, i don't think that will solve the pictures quality.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adrift98:
If you know how to use it (8mp at SA for darker scenarios, 23mp manual for bright daylight) it's been reviewed in a number of places as the best camera currently on the market. It's interesting to me how polarizing the camera is for people though. People either think it's the second coming, or the antichrist. I imagine that the improvements to the software promised with the Marshmallow update will go a long way to getting a lot of naysayers to give it a second look.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldSkewler:
That is a very interesting perspective on the topic; so basically it boils down to misuse by users! And I suspect this is from someone that has never even tried the phone!

Let me propose the exact opposite, and I suspect a portion (if not majority) of people complaining about the imaging performance on these Z5 phones are actually far from amateur photographers and do understand what is achievable and should be expected in terms o quality. There is no way to slice this or put a twist on it, and I don't care about DXO ratings.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adrift98:
No, it's certainly been by those who've tried the phone. By the looks of it you didn't get too far into that thread I previously recommended, but Timaustin2000 and a few others in that thread really turned the tone around with their investigations on the ability of the camera, and comparison shots. They've even had an influential effect on reviewers. So for instance, it wasn't till TimAustin pointed out to the reviewers at Android Authority that they were crippling the phone by using the 23mp in low light scenarios that they took into consideration the supersampling of the 8mp default settings. From there a number of other reviewers, bloggers, vloggers, and the like took a second look at the camera in the phone and tested appropriately with often very very positive results (many of these reviews and videos are also mentioned in that thread).

From the recent reviews that I've been reading and watching, that doesn't appear to be the case, but of course, you're free to come to your own conclusions.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sid3wayz:
Haven't had much experience with the Z5C camera yet, only had it for a week.

But one thing, it takes so long to open. This is my 1St Android phone, been an ios user for around 4.5 years & the iPhones were just easier to access their camera. Slide up, click camera & it opened. On the Z5C, you press & hold the camera button, feel it vibrate, let it go... & wait.

After a second or so, the screen goes black, then the camera opens, then the screen starts to set itself up.

Just tried then & it was around 4 seconds.

I love the phone so far, but it seems to really struggle with normal usage.

By normal usage, for me, I mean it lags. Playing YouTube videos, it lags, I'm in Oz & we have an online streaming movie/TV service called Stan.... It doesn't work on the Z5.

Switching between tasks can give the phone a heart attack. For example, I was playing Clash Of Clans & some one tried to call me, the box popped down, I clicked answer & nothing happened.

I clicked answer two or three more times, before clicking back to the home screen, the phone call went to message bank while my phone locked up, went black & I had to wait around 30 seconds for it to sort itself out.

Even typing this it lags every now & then.

8 Ball Pool is laggy... If messages pop while playing, it gets even worse.

I do love the phone, I am enjoying Android (I miss a few ios advantages), but I just wish that the phone didn't feel like it was made with enough Ram to run the OS & one app at a time.

Oh... The audio is quiet, it doesn't go as loud as my iPhone 4 did, with my Bose head set & it lacks the same bass, but does sound alright.

The included Sony ear plugs are uncomfortable, have no sound advantages, have annoying different length ear cords & no volume control.

No supplied quick charger.

The back of the phone tends to get quite hot.
