[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkmasterchilla:
No issues with the bars per say but definitely issues toggling networks, especially with 3G prefered mode. When 3G prefered selected I only get mobile data when H+ icon shows next to the bars. 3G, 2G and H don't work! The phone sometime takes up to 10-30 seconds to toggle to H+ and be connected. This drives me nuts! Do you guys experience this as well? Today I got no signal at all (no bars, nothing) for two hours.

Stamina is off and I have proper signal.

SFR France btw.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Try to toggle LTE off.

This sounds like an issue I had with a data only SIM in Japan with my S6, except no 2G network was the cause I think, not sure what would cause it on AT&T.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigneeker:
It's strange because I show full bars when I make an outgoing call or right before someone calls me, all the bars fill up. But it takes 2-3 rings on their side for it to ring on my phone.

And after the call it goes back to zero bars. But I still have the lte sign there.

Is there a way to update the gsm radio?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4Strings:
Same issue here (Z5 on ATT). I get one bar consistently when the phone is idle with the bars filling up when making calls, sending texts, etc., but I do get full LTE speeds and haven't noticed any other problems... I did look at my account, and the Z5 does show up as an "unknown device".

I tried changing APNs from "Attnextgenphone" to just "ATT Phone" but it didn't make a difference...
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigneeker:
I am glad I am not the only one with this issue. At home I get one bar with wifi off and with wifi connected I get zero bars until a call is made or received.

I am located in NYC and have the 32.0.A.6.152 rom and the baseband is 8994-FAAAANAZQ-00029-16
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4Strings:
Exactly the same here (FW and baseband). I'm in CO and I do sometimes get full bars outdoors, but it happens randomly... It's almost for sure a problem on ATTs end considering that they don't even recognize the device on their website.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigneeker:
Is there a newer baseband that we can upgrade to that will fix this signal issue?

Or de we have to wait till the marshmallow upgrade comes out.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
Hi, it's a high probability that you are seeing bar fluctuations as you suggest because your phone is actually changing bands during this time, because the cell tower pushing your call etc doesn't have the signal strength to push LTE.

As for the OP if his LTE/4G shows higher bars as soon as he is using the internet this is a different issue, and strange maybe faulty hardware.

I would recommend you all go somewhere where you know there is good coverage, even with another phone if possible and see if you still have the same issue.

---------- Post added at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 AM ----------

Mate I am not sure the phone suffers from signal issues, I have had most of the Z series phones, all have the exact same signal strengths for me at various locations, and the phone has better coverage than other manufacturers as well, when I compare to other friends in super low coverage areas

Hey [MENTION=231960]bigneeker[/MENTION],

Just wondering if the MM update has fixed your signal issue.

For me it hasn't, but if it did for you then it might be a region issue (mine was Singapore, but I flashed the MM update for Germany).

Cheers,

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deconfrost:
It didnt for me
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xslikk7:
I noticed it too. Sony xperia z5. I use the quick LTE toggle and when LTE is on, all my bars are greyed out, but when LTE is off and I'm on H+ and 3G then all my bars are lit up.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4Strings:
Same here. Also, whenever I lose signal or inexplicably switch to Edge, toggling the LTE switch off and on seems to fix the issue.

I compared the specs of the Z5 and the specific bands/frequencies AT&T uses, and the problem might be the frequency that they use on Band 12... I don't know.

I don't know about European carriers, but since T-Mobile uses a different band for its LTE, then that might explain why this issue is not that well-covered in the US (though I can't confirm that).

Cheers,

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deconfrost:
I'm in Ireland and my signal suddenly went from H+ to Edge then no service. I haven't came across another person with the same issue, my signal goes between H+ and no service most of the time is no service. Tried 5 different firmware and custom rom nothing changed

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Stig 04:
I've been using poweramp for as long as I can remember now, but ever since installing it on my 6P I've noticed there is some serious lag when "next" to change a song. Was wondering if anyone else that's using poweramp on their 6P experiencing the same thing and if you have found a fix or the reason why.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamous84:
no issues here, running Pure Nexus with elmentalx kernel
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bipoler:
I've been using them as well for quite sometime as well. However I have noticed this issue since the last few updates -_-. I have noticed this primarily on my Note 4. The delay in changing songs doesn't always move fast, once it finally changes to the next track, if you hit next again and again it moves fast like it normally would. l haven't noticed this on my nexus though, but I know exactly what you are describing
[Huawei Watch] BlueFireworks:
Is there any way to turn off bluetooth, wifi, all the sensors (GPS, Heart rate....)?

Thx:)
[Huawei Watch] Ereniemis:
Hi,

Bluetooth communicates with your phone, so that would be stupid thing to do (IMHO) :) It doesn't have GPS, so, no problem there. Wifi can be disabled through android wear app on phone, or directly in the watch settings. I disabled in watch and uninstalled Google fit from phone (Google fit checks your heart rate every like 5 minutes and it drains battery a lot). I use "daily tracking" from Huawei, which works really great for me and I'm at something between 1,7% - 2,4% /hr. drain with normal use. I use greenify at watch and I think that's the best you can do.

I have the custom kernel from [MENTION=2174433]Skin1980[/MENTION] and it makes imho a great difference in battery drain aswell. I don't have any problem to make two full days with the watch and I have always on display.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] dogballs999:
Hi,

My unit has a built in Mic, (little hole on the front).

It sounds like I'm underwater, I've seen a post about cutting capacitors which is beyond my skills.

Is it worth buying an external mic, and wiring it in, assuming there is a port at the back. Or will the result be the same as its all in the circuitry?

Thanks.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] halloj:
As long as you don't make the mod your mic is still going to sound bad. The external mic

is normally in parallel with the built in. One of things you do during the modification is to

separate the internal from the external, hence the removal of the capacitor/Short. Take it to a shop and modify it.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ChrisKay1988:
Is it the case in 100% of the KGL HUs? I have a newer Erisin HU and have no C32 on Board so I was a little bit confused if in my case both Microphones run parallelly.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] halloj:
Since you didn't tell the brand I just went for the symptom. Do you have the same BT-board as in the picture

from the modification thread. It might be another SMD-component in your case. Sometimes it's a capacitor,

sometimes a 0 Ohm resistor.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ChrisKay1988:
The Brand is Erisin ES 2698V - so a KGL unit. My BT Boards looks similar like that in the picture but differs in the C32 capacitor and in descriptions (I have no descriptions like MIC+ and so on on the Pins). The HU is actually built in my car so I cannot take a pic for you - sorry.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] halloj:
When you pull it out, beep it from the same pin as in the picture of the BT board. That way you will find

your component, being a cap, short or a = Ohm resistor.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ChrisKay1988:
hey,

okay I'll try it. Can you please quote the picture in this thread? I can't find it anymore :)

Edit: FOUND IT: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55769802&postcount=3964
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ChrisKay1988:
Hey, okay I just disassembled my HU and beeped some components.

I found it finally:

It's C102! the one side beeps at Pin 4 of BT-Module, the other side beeps on microphone "SGN"

I will remove this and bridge the mic with a wire... thanks a lot!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] halloj:
Good. Write it down in the BT-thread, your HU brand and the cap-number for others to find it easy. :laugh:
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fargo_Zoidberg:
I saw that Spotify was integrated in with the stock music app, but I never messed with it (Spotify was one of the apps I uninstalled immediately). I was wondering if it was possible to integrate the Google Play Music app with the stock music app (i.e. use the stock interface to listen to music from Google Play).

It's probably that I'm not a fan of the color orange... and Google Play Music has orange EVERYWHERE.

On a side note, just got the phone yesterday (coming from LG G3) and am loving it. Only got warm during the initial update, no lag happening afterwards... not sure why there's so much negativity in these threads on here.

Otherwise, when it happened to let last time, i check my deleted files on Outlook on the computer and just simply restored my contact files etc. ;)

I really don't know much else, hope what i mentioned helps. i know it's bit vague only because i did it trial by error, and i think i got most of my contacts back.:confused:

Hi all,

I now figure the issue as I can sync with another computer, and I think the problem is on my vista. However, After I uninstall the window mobile center, I can't reinstall it. seems after I update the driver, it doesn't recongize my device.

Can anyone tell me what are the files and registry that control the connection between my Hermes & my computer, and maybe if I can delete it all, and add it back, it will be ok.... that is just my guess, and I don't know how to do that,please help me.......Thanks
[Verizon LG G4] :
I've tried everything but this phone Is just laggy and choppy. Anyone know anything I haven't tried, or is it just this phone? I have had alot of Android phones and am usually pretty knowledgeable in this type of stuff, but can't figure this one out. Maybe it's the hardware. I am seriously thinking about getting a better performing device at this point. Verizon model on stock 13B. Things that I have tried are...

Wiping cache in stock recovery

Wiping cache under storage

Factory reset

Uninstalling all downloaded apps

Disabling dual window

Putting animation speed to .5 or zero

Using nova launcher

Disabling now and chrome

Removing battery

Using greenify

Force gpu rendering

Google keyboard

Disabled a ton of apps

[Verizon LG G4] :
Were you having any problems before you rooted? I have rooted a ton of Android devices in the past, but I am kind of weary of giving apps and processes root access these days.
[Verizon LG G4] CyberManiaK:
Well no, not a single problem however there is lot of stock bloatware that runs on boot. And to be honest my phone haven't been more than 5 hours stock. I was on 11a and I have just finished flashing to 13b and is already rooted. And at least the first boot on stock image I did find that it was a bit slow.

Anyway you can try to root using the debloated system image that is here in the forum if you don't like it you can flash again the 13b KDZ
[Verizon LG G4] :
Thanks I might give it a try. I think that 13b is just a bad release. I feel like it was running good before 13b. Maybe it's throttling with this release. I'm going to do some benchmarks and check the CPU.
[Verizon LG G4] :
Edit 2: its throttling when gets to a certain temp and maxing out cpu when waking the device in the am

Well idk what is going on it doesn't seem to be throttling and there doesn't seem to be any touch issues like when I first got the device. 13b must just be a buggy release. * I know there is definitely something wrong though, my nexus 7 2013 is opening apps and loading them faster.

Noticed this today while a friend was messing with my phone while it was standing on the table locked.

He pressed the lock button, the screen showed up with the clock, wallpaper and stuff.

My phone has a pattern lock, so he was unable to access the main launcher screen. But he was able to pull the notification/status top bar and do stuff like change brightness, disable wifi and bluetooth and so on.

To me it does look like a security flaw. Is there any way I can block that?

Thanks everyone!

This is bonkers! Some of these may even potentially involve more serious security concerns, but in any case there ought to be a way to turn off this access.

[XDA Assist] chnateag:
Hi guys,

I've got 60 phones to setup, and that's just the biginning. I looked for some solutions to mass deploy them, the fastest way possible. I of course already know titanium backup and applications like that, but i would prefer not to root phone...

I was pretty confident about a nandroid backup : flashing the recovery of the phone is really quick, and i would just have to backup on card or on usb on the go on the master phone, and to restore the backup on all the phone remaining. But it didn't worked as expected, it happens that on each phone, twrp is generating backup in a folder named something like "420khg66g6cca200" and which is different on each phone, and when you put the card in another phone, this one doesn't see the main backup.

I of course tried to sneak arround and generate a backup on the second phone, which i replaced with the content of the first one, but the phone doesn't even boot anymore.

I used twrp because i dind't find another recovery avaiable for the phone, which is by the way a samsung Xcover 3 also known as SM-G388F.

I tried to backup only system, system image, and data and to restore it and the phones is stuck on boot screens.

I tried to backup again with boot partition, same thing happen'd. There's something i don't understand tho, there's some warning about /system partition which can't be mounted when i look around on the recovery of the slave phone.

I'm on stock rom, no root. I looked for similar post (really), but there's mostly guys which make backup / restore on the same phone, and i didn't find my answer.

My questions are : is there someone's who did this before ? Why the phone doesn't boot anymore ? Is there something that's making the backup unrecoverable on another phone ?

In this case, is there anyway to bypass that ?

Thank you by advance.
