[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _wolfpup:
After downloading and flashing the official B521 update, sure there was no usable keyboard app, so I had to voice search to a 3rd party site to download one, but other than that all was well... or so I thought. I happened to switch my phone's mobile data setting to 3G only, during a spot of bad reception (the constant switching made it impossible to do anything), after which I realised that this update had removed all the LTE options from the dropdown menu.

My first instinct was to go to the "project act menu" from the dialler, but that would not load at all, when typed in correctly and confirmed...the phone just clears the number input area and doesn't open any menu. At this point, I did not know how I was going to sort out the issue, I thought maybe a .prop or .db file would be the answer. I have edited such files on other phones to do a number of things, should be simple right? Boy was I wrong.

Before beginning to poke around I did some searches of course, and found that you can get the 4G options back, by editing a value in the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db ...So I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and did just that. Put the file back in place, swell, guess I'll reboot. Then it froze on the Honor logo, impossible to turn off, with good timing--I was able to access the stock recovery and fastboot modes.

Since then I have been able to get my phone to boot by deleting the settings.db, so that Android created a new one, only problem is... this new file of course has so much hardware specific things missing from it...It's kind of a joke. All I wanted to do was allow myself to freely switch between 4G and 3G on the Lollipop update, and in trying to do so, bricked the device and had to lose all the stock settings in order to get it working again.

I changed the permissions and ownership of my edited settings.db (as best as I could in root explorer) after replacing it, but nothing seems to help as far as I can tell, if the settings stay I cannot boot.

How exactly am I meant to get the original database back? I assume if I can downgrade to the Kitkat, that will sort that side out, but even if I do that...and then reflash Lollipop... I'm still going to be losing the 4G option, unless I never change it from auto--ever.

This is just silly and frustrating... Literally all I want is the official settings.db for this phone on lollipop aside from: the network modes changed so that I can switch between 2G/3G/4G, 3G only, and 4G only modes. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this on my own, and I wish I made a backup before trying...

Please help, thanks~
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Notchr302:
I was just thinking as much as I've tried to research the z5 compact, there are a surprisingly low number of reviews, especially from established channels. Last year, Mobile Tech Reviews, Pocket Now and others had reviews up on the z3c by early October. I realize there was a US variant but that came later than most of the reviews. I'm wondering why you think this is? Not much buzz about the z5 in general this time around which can't bode well for Sony's struggling mobile division.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bubimir13:
Because Sony didn't publish USA version of the phone unlike previous years.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Notchr302:
Last year most used the international version like I said
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
I found a lot of reviews. Recombu, Techradar, gsmarena, expert reviews, trusted reviews, pocket lint, stuff, the verge, android pit, ibtimes, pcworld, the inquirer, the guardian, btekt on youtube etc etc
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Notchr302:
Most of those you just stated were unboxings and first impressions. My point is the same, there hasn't been as many reviews from big, I guess I should say, American reviewers as last year's z3c. To me, it's a little odd? Actually Btekt who typically loves the phone has not done a full review yet. Just first looks and comparison vids.

Great for the price. The power bank itself charges at the normal rate from the wall wart
[G4 Accessories] Draegloth:
Ive bought the 16000mAh version of the Aukey power bank. It charges quickly, so its working fine. Two thing which is really disappointing is the Power bank's LED battery indicator. It just got 3 diffferent states (white, green, red) related to how much is charged. Another thing is that from green state it goes really fast to red. That makes even harder to predict how much % left on the power bank. If Aukey would built in a display with the actual % shown would be much better product. Now its just 10/7

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheveoner:
Hi there,

I have a D801 I bought this summer in the US and recently I'm having problems with the GPS. I got it with stock LP, and I think back then it was working fine. Then, I started testing different roms, and at some point it broke. I guess it is a software problem, but I don't know how to fix it (I search in each rom's thread but it should be working ok).

I'm currently using this ROM http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-g2/development/rom-tmo-lp-extreme-v1-0-4-16-15-t3084681

Software details: http://imgur.com/GhqDN9D

I have tried fasterGPS (to set it for Spain) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps&hl=en and GPS Status https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=en but it takes forever to lock into a satellite (1/26), and even then it is not able to get the correct location in Google Maps (tried outdoors in several places already).

Any help? Any additional info you may need?

Thanks in advance!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekweezle:
i think most people who have had problems with the GPS on this phone have given up. the GPS is just flaky to non functional. There is a mod out there where you raise the antennae pins to contact the case using something to shim them. that might or might not help. I did it on my LS-980. I also did it on my Samsung Note i717 and it solved it.

I think part of the equation is software related. I updated my rom to Dirty Unicorns and my GPS was working most of the time. but when it refused to lock, nothing could make it. on stock, I had a weird condition where the GPS would work only if my phone was in 3g mode, not LTE. However, when my phone got stuck in 3g mode, would never switch back to LTE without turning off and on mobile data. I am currently back to stock but my GPS doesn;t work.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheveoner:
Nice... Then I'll give a look at that tutorial. I was hoping to fix it by flashing some radios/basebands or the likes, but we seem to be on the same boat. It is not that I use GPS that much, but I didn't expect such problems in a previous flagship phone. Anyways, thanks for your help :good:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waingro808:
Don't get your hopes up on that tutorial. GPS is notoriously bad on G2. So many people have problems. Mine doesn't work at all and I gave up like the previous poster said. Not a big deal for me except when I'm trying to use Uber!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheveoner:
Well, I finally had the time to try the antenna hack (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfS4LpfcLfg) and it went from locking to none to locking to 12 out of 20 sats. Finally I can be happy this phone (also running CloudyG2 btw). We'll see how long does it last though...

Thank you all!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekweezle:
Here's a weird situation, just recently used the TOT method to restore my phone back to stock, and after installing the updates to bring me to zvh, my gps is working again. Still a little flaky but mostly working.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NutJob_Gaming:
Is it at all possible to overclock my phone I've heard about it but not sure :)
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikitoGR:
Yeap, but you to have to flash either a custom rom and kernel, or just a stock based custom kernel.

For example you can flash CM 12.1 and use Renix63's kernel which features CPU overclock, custom governors & I/O schedulers etc. Search the S3 Threads, there's everything to answer any of your questions. If you need help by finding something specific, I can you list you the corresponding threads for unlocking/rooting and a rom&kernel to keep up with the latest progress.

I would not be too excited however, overclock is not really needed on our device, only if you need to run an heavy game

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zacw4328:
To those of whom have downgraded back to a rooted 4.4.4 IMG from a rooted 5.1 IMG

I started out on a 4.4.4 img from ComputerFreak and then I did all the steps in his readme to upgrade to the pre-rooted 5.1 IMG. Everything went smoothly and everything worked correctly. The reason I want to go back to KK is that the XPosed Mods I use most do not work on 5.1 just yet. So I decided to revert back to KK until those mods become available on LP.

I flashed back to stock KK. That was also successful. The only mishap that comes up when on stock KK is the "Uninstall Motorola Sensor Serivces firmware". I researched this and everyone said they did not know what it was and/or to just reboot the phone and it does not come up again. I did not choose to uninstall it or take any action besides rebooting the phone and it usually "goes away".

THE REAL ISSUE:

Whenever I flash any rooted KK IMG to the phone via mofo the wifi does not turn on, no matter which rooted KK IMG I flash to the Turbo. I go to turn on the WiFi and the little switch image simply goes back to off as soon as i release my finger.

The WiFi works on stock KK and any pre-rooted LP IMG. I have done multiple data and cache wipes. I did it every time after flashing a new IMG.

ComputerFreak and I have been trying to figure this out and no solution. He said he's had the issue before but doesn't remember how to solve it and that others have had it too.

Thanks in advance for any help!! :good::good:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
Did you reflash the 4.4.4 modems and radios, or did you just flash the 4.4.4 system image? I'm assuming that when you upgraded to 5.1, you flashed the 5.1 radios and modems.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zacw4328:
Yeah, I flashed the 4.4.4 modems and radios. Which I'm assuming that's why it works on a stock 4.4.4 IMG. But idk why when the phone has rot access it won't work.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
I'd be willing to bet that it has to do with the sensor firmware message that you got before. That message is no joke. Something involving the sensor firmware or whatever that is destroyed my last Turbo, which was luckily still somehow under warranty after everything I did to it. If I were you, I'd try flashing back to stock 4.4.4 and if you see that message, pick uninstall this time.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zacw4328:
I get it when I am on stock 4.4.4. Do you know what it does though? I need my phone.. Everything is working on stock 4.4.4 and a 5.1 IMG. Just not rooted 4.4.4.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
I believe it's the firmware for the various sensors on the phone (IR, gyroscope, etc.). When mine got corrupted, it affected all kinds of things on the phone. It took literally 20 minutes to boot and android OS would force close, among other things. Flashing back to stock (all images) did not solve the problem, which seems to imply that the firmware is stored on a partition that isn't flashed even during a full restore. The only thing that solved the problem was allowing the firmware to uninstall. However, when I went back to 5.1, they got corrupted again, this time beyond repair.

It doesn't sound like yours are corrupted since your problems are limited to Wi-Fi, and aren't catastrophic like mine were. You probably just have the 5.1 version still installed, which doesn't play well with the 4.4.4 images for some reason. Why the problem only appears when you have root, I have no idea. Are you using a rooted image that sets SELinux to permissive? If not, that might have something to do with it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zacw4328:
If it is the literal sensors for things like IR and gyro, that would make sense as my IR sensors are not on right now on stock, non-rooted KK IMG. But I am afraid that if I do the uninstall, the phone will not be usable.

I'm not sure if the IMG sets SELinux to permissive or not. [MENTION=6076132]computerfreek274[/MENTION] any input on that?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
If it's CF's image, it does. I would do that uninstall if I were you. It will replace it with the factory default firmware. Up to you. If you decide to do it, flash a stock, unrooted image first, and clear cache. Maybe even factory reset if it's not too much of a pain.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zacw4328:
I'm already back on a factory KK IMG and did aa few factory resets and cleared cahce multiple times. So just go ahead and do the uninstall then?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
That's my recommendation. Just to be extra safe, leave your phone on for a while after you do it. Don't reset unless it tells you to for some reason.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zacw4328:
Alright. I might try it out tomorrow.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] kitcostantino:
Look, man. I have fxzd from LP images (cf, thest33v) over and over again. eveey single time, I did the uninstall. seems the only way you will have an issue is if you do not uninstall (revert) that piece of software. you can mod the xml file in the FXZ by removing the line "erase user data" and all will be golden. personally, I tend to back up my internal and just wipe anyway, though. run the stock fxz, do that option, and you will be good. Good luck man.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zacw4328:
I just did the uninstall. It tried to download the 5.1 OTA(I keep force stopping MotoOTA) so I force stopped that again. After a second my phone rebooted. My IR sensors now work on stock 4.4.4. I haven't flashed a rooted 4.4.4 IMG yet to see if the WiFi will then work. I will do that sometime soon. This no root is killing me haha. Luckily I at least have a modded Pandora APK for no ads and unltd skips.

[EDIT]:

Well I still cannot use WiFi when flashing a rooted KK IMG to my phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
That's bizarre. Have you been using the same rooted image every time? There might be something that's just corrupt in that image.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zacw4328:
I've tried two different ones. They worked fine before I went to the rooted 5.1 img.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rino757:
I ordered the AT&T unlocked S5 Active off Swappa from a seller that resells phones from corporate usage. It came with 4.4.2 and some modifications that lead me to believe the company does did not permit upgrades. That said, it was hell to get MTP working on it and it did not read any microSD cards (yes I troubleshot plenty). They offered to replace it and so I have a Verizon S5 (not Active) on the way instead, as I'm hoping for more official upgrade support (Marshmallow this month??).

Aaanyway, regarding root, updates, tips/tricks, etc, any suggestions?

I'm coming from the AT&T Moto X 2013 but have a good deal of experience with roots, mods, etc.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverdragon76:
Honestly, it's a very easy procedure I was hunting and hunting when I got mine (about a month ago) so I've done plenty of research.

Mine had 4.4.2 on it as well. There is a downgrade process which is fairly simple and straightforward. It requires using Odin. I also followed a thread here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/tut-root-tripping-knox-t2803951 which helped me a lot. I also read that towelroot isn't working, so I found one set of tools which has towelroot plus v2 and v3. v3 worked for me the second time. Try googling some stuff, there is tons of information, I'm looking for a good ROM or at least a pre-rooted updated stock ROM. I have version 0A8, which is the first OTA lollipop update. I'm looking for a ROM based off of lollipop there are tons based on kitkat kernel thou. CM is working on I think 12.1 So I may downgrade again because the downside to having Verizon lollipop installed, TWRP will no longer work. Stay with kitkat, install TWRP, and go from there, think I'm going back to kitkat to find a decent ROM, I like having recovery. Hope I helped a bit
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rino757:
Helped a ton :) I was thinking of sticking with the Active so I wouldn't need a case, but with all the development here, I'm glad I switched. And the Verizon model seems to be doing better than the AT&T one in terms of OTAs.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enaybee:
I have a nexus 6P running rooted stock rom and I wanted to try out a new rom. Before flashing the new rom, I made a nandroid backup via TWRP. Now, the rom that I was backing up had fingerprint security setup with backup passcode for unlocking the phone.

So I tried new rom and it didn't work (read-too many issues and too many crashes). Decided to revert back to my original setup. Went back into TWRP and restored the backup.

After booting the phone up, I can't log in to my phone anymore. As you know after every reboot, fingerprint sensor doesn't work unless you enter the backup passcode. So I am entering my passcode and its not accepted. I have tried entering passcode many times but to no avail. I know my passcode so possibility of me forgetting it is not valid.

Has anybody else seen or ran into this issue yet?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Born<ICs:
The step folks are missing is Prior to installing a backup you Must Change security to None before you even start a backup This clears password, pin and saved finger prints. I believe once security is changed it is safe to backup and then install backup. You will need to reenter Pin and Fingerprints.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enaybee:
You mean clear the security before making a backup ... right?

if not, how would I change security on a backup file of rom that had security enabled.

I have never used lock screen security before so never ran into this issue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Born<ICs:
No, dig through this forum for tech details. But my understanding is anytime you make/install a backup or reflash rom or go back to stock you must reset you Security options in settings to None. You have security now, probably Fingerprints, and the required Lockscreen Pin.

If you try to install backup or Rom or whatever without doing so you get what you experienced. There is a path out of it if you read further.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayne8821212:
Pin or Pattern on boot after restoring Nandroid

The interesting thing is, I intentionally chose to enter pattern/pin on rebooting. The strange (actually may not be strange .....but strange to me) thing is that even when I move on to different Roms, that initial choice is remembered and embedded since even after choosing not to require pin/pattern when rebooting, I get prompted. Also the pin/pattern works during recovery, it also works on the initial startup after restoring a backup but then fails after successful fingerprint use (it will actually say "wrong pin" or "wrong pattern") at the end of the booting process. The thing is, I have only used one pin and at other times one password ever with this device. Eventually I had to do a factory reset to solve this issue (thank goodness I was able to back up my internal storage to my computer in TWRP recovery mode).
