[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korom42:
Hi all

As said in title , I just sold my LG G4 after repairing it (its screen got damaged by water )

Now I'm confused between buying the Z5 / S6 . My budget is quite limited so I can't go for the Z5 premium or s6 edge+

In my country the Xperia Z5 costs arround 120$ more than the Galaxy S6 .

Note that what really matters for me is the Camera quality , Perfomance and the battey .

I really like the design of Z5 , besides it's waterproof . But the S6 has a much sharper and better display .

and the exynos CPU of S6 is much better than SD810 which has a bad reputation because of heating issues .

What do you guys suggest to me ?

And what are the the avaliable models of the Z5 , because where I live I found some have the E6633 Model which is I think Dual sim

and what are the diffrences between those models ?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toheer2911:
I had first the S6 for 4 months and now the Z5.

The camera quality of the S6 is definetly better in my eyes if were talking about taking pictures.

With videos i would say the Z5 is better because the videos are not shacking that much.

So the Z5 camera is not really bad but since most people are usually taking more pictures i would prefer the S6 if that's your most important feature.

With the latest .200 firmware update i think the Z5 doesn't heat up that much anymore.

It's still waterproofed and has a nice design without an outstanding camera module.

In my eyes the battery life of the S6 and the Z5 are pretty equal. That's at least what i noticed.

And about differences of the models... yes there exists a dual sim Z5 but i'm not sure if it exists in every country.

I guess the differences are not spectacular besides the second sim tray hehe

hope i could help you a little
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King p1n:
Save yourself some money and just get the S6.

Thats what I plan to do, Z5 isnt worth its price tag imo.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King p1n:
The 810 simply put cannot be tamed by just putting in a heat pipe. The phone does throttle and hence why they've done other things to combat how quickly it heats up. Every phone will throttle, some faster than others and the Z5 does throttle. And thus the GPU might be more "powerful" but your likely to get better performance on the S6 because it doesn't throttle as quickly or aggressively as many 810 phones. Qualcomm **** the bed this year and they know it and so does everyone else.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWarKeeper:
The Xperia Z5 810 snapdragon chipset is a second generation chipset, it is not the same like in HTC One M9, it doesnt have a heat pipe it has 2 joint heat pipes and it does NOT throttle, ive played it with all graphics on max on dead effect 2 and even nova, and never ive seen it throttle or raise absurd temperatures.

Only Xperia Z5 Compact throttles because it has a weaker cooling system.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phazonclash:
Me too I hesitated between the Z5, the S6 and the Moto X Pure (Quickly ditched it because of the SD808). In the end I picked the Z5 for a simple but very good reason: Its firmware is almost stock. I remembered my Note 3 and Note 4, and I decided I didn't want to deal with Touchwiz anymore.

But in the end, the Z5 and the S6 are both excellent flagship phones. You can't go wrong.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King p1n:
ALL snapdragon 810 phones use the v2.1 as per qualcomm have basically said 2.1 was an update to the chip driver's.

Furthermore it has 2 heat pipes I'm fully aware and yes it does and will throttle, as ALL phone's do especially the 810. Even the S6 will throttle and just not as quickly.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWarKeeper:
Ok, now you are confusing driver version with hardware revision version, the drivers are different in those SoCs in order to accomodate the chip newer revision regardless if the drivers have the same version number.

Furthermore the v2.1 has slightly improved performance compared to v2.0.

Heres more info regarding this chip: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9388/comparing-snapdragon-810-v2-and-v21

Even they state that the chip throttling is improved, and as ive said, playing Dead Trigger 2 with all on max and Nova, AND Relic Run Tomb Raider resulted in no throttling.

Now about the throttling system, you can throttle pretty much anything if you push it that way, you can even throttle a watercooled intel i7-3820 or a gfx card like HD7970 if you push it hard enough with some silly benchmark tests. Infact some AMD Cards had throttle implemented because of the some exagerated burn gfx benchmark applications in order to save various components like VRM from such stupid tests.

All in all, nor Galaxy S6 nor Xperia Z5 throttle when gaming under normal conditions even with the hardest games out there, Xperia Z5 S810 V2.1 is well tamed and temperature are not that hot.

If it is ok with you, i would like to not hijack this thread for such a silly matter when Sony clearly did a great job taming the S810 perfectly in balance, we can further discuss this in PM as this will be my last post about this specific debate in this thread.

Cheers.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sci2:
You can search for my post history regarding S6 vs. Z5. I moved to the Z5 from the S6 as soon as I could get it. Zero regrets. I absolutely hated the S6. Most frustrating phone I've ever owned.

hey guys,

iam building a cm13 rom for jfltexx,then after a long day process, the computer started lagging and the terminal was stuck at this line

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotgun10ga:
I am downgrading simply because of Cyanogenmod and bigger battery. Good idea or no?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luki7151:
I bought S5 due to CyanogenMod support, removable battery and microSD card slot. Those 3 things were deal breakers for me, when i was choosing my new phone. S6 have amazing specs, and it will be a much much faster device than S5. I heard, that first alpha build of CM was released for S6, but it will take a long time, before it's going to function properly. If you can't live without CM (like me :D ) and you need that bigger battery (which you can always replace with a spare one :) ) it is a good idea to downgrade, but if you are thinking about more future-proof phone, which will last longer, i'd go with S6.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotgun10ga:
So should i downgrade? I head people having yellow tint in the screen is that true? and can i watch a full hd move on it without charging? and does cm support lte for s5?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luki7151:
I heard about that yellow tint, but people who had that, simply went to their seller/Samsung service with their warranty and they mounted a new display. Fortunately, i haven't got that tint.

You can watch FHD movies without charging, i dunno what's the problem ( or i'm too sleepy, and i can't understand english at this moment :/ excuse me xd )

Yes, CM supports LTE.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddomingues:
That is a purely opinionated question and I'm anxious to see all of the replies to this one but in my opinion the S6 is of course a faster device but I'm with Luki7151 on this. I prefer the S5 because it has:

1.) Removable Battery which comes in handy especially if you're a modder.

2.) Expandable memory which is really the biggest deal breaker for me.

3.) S5 has USB 3.0 port. Don't know why they went back to the 2.0 small port on the S6.

4.) S5 is water resistant

My girlfriend got the S6 and there's nothing my S5 can't do that hers can. In fact, my S5 has more features since hers is stock and I'm running S6 edge custom rom lol. There has also been numerous occasions where I'd watch 3 movies in FHD back to back with screen brightness turned all the way up and still did not have to charge my phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HustleberryFinn:
For me the possibility to use a micro SD (128 GB) is a very good reason as well!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luki7151:
S6 has USB 2.0 port, because it was a standard in smartphone technology. I can only only list two devices which had USB 3.0 port: Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S5. Probably it was too odd for Samsung to have two major devices with those USB 3.0 ports, while any other phone had standard 2.0 port, so they reverted it back to old standard.

I cannot say, that S5 is fully IP67 certified (30min to 1m of water), because i have never merged my phones :D . Although, i can say that it is water resistant, because it survived, when i was cleaning it up under stream of water.

Last but not least. Remember! Flashing an AOSP rom like CyanogenMod, will have some consequences. You won't be able to use fingerprint scanner, heart rate sensor or some Touchwiz related features like one-handed mode or download booster, but for this price, you will get (in my opinion) the fastest running rom on S5, which i have ever flashed :D
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddomingues:
I'm currently using TW Revolution V5.2 and can tell you everything works including finger print scanner and download booster and it is an S6 Edge port so you'll have the S5 with the S6 features if you want a rom with all the stock working features. The rom is in the international section if you wanna try something different out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyflyguy:
My screen is shattered, but the phone turns on and it vibrates when I turn it off and plug in the charger. Battery lights are normal for charging. Goes from orange to green.

However, when I try to turn the phone on it vibrates once then the blue light starts to blink continuously for a long time. After about 10 minutes the blue light is gone but the back and menu buttons are lit up and stay lit. I can't tell if it has actually booted or not.

If I try to ADB into the phone while it's in this state I can see it listed but it shows as unauthorized.

Does anyone know if I can I revive my Note 3 by replacing the LCD and digitizer? Is there anyway I can test it to see if everything is working besides the screen? I don't want to waste the money unless I know that is the only problem. I would really like to fix it if possible.

There is absolutely no water damage, just a really bad fall.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genna7:
Try a hard reset with the 3 buttons. If it stays the same then you have a broken phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyflyguy:
Can you please elaborate. How do I perform the hard reset when I can't see anything on the screen? I know for a fact that the screen is done for. I just need to know if the main board is still salvageable by replacing the LCD and digitizer.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScarletCrimson:
You can't do a hard reset without a screen as it involves booting into recovery, then navigating using volume keys. If you have a custom recovery installed then it's even riskier to try it without the screen. So don't try it.

I'm assuming that the phone doesn't show up as an MTP device when you connect it to a PC?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyflyguy:
Thank you for understanding my poor explanation. Yes, you are correct. Phone does not show up as MTP device when connected to my computer anymore. Does that mean I should assume the worst?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScarletCrimson:
Unfortunately, yes. Just a shattered screen wouldn't cause 10 minute long boots every time (blue light only blinks when booting up, at Samsung logo) and the absence of MTP (even with lockscreen password/PIN/pattern the device shows up as MTP but it doesn't show the data unless it's unlocked first). It seems that the logic board of the handset is damaged in some capacity so just replacing the screen and digitizer won't do the trick.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
Did you have a lockscreen password set in android?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyflyguy:
Yes I did
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
Then mtp won't work, even if the phone is okay. It doesn't connect unless you unlock the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyflyguy:
That makes sense! Is there anything I can do to find out for sure if the phone is just in a coma?

I had set a pattern lock so I assume I can't access through adb somehow, right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
Hmm, what about using hdmi out and seeing if it displays anything on the external screen?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyflyguy:
Good idea. I'll have to find an mhl adapter and try it. Thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nijom:
If your charging led and hard key lights blink, your phone is good. A display assembly replacement would help.

I received my Note 3 in this way (from a friend) and then I replaced the display and been using it for an year now

Hello I am new to the developer scene. And an trying to root my HTC desire 626s I have found the forum for it on here but am having issues unlocking my boot loader when I get to the cmd for fastboot get_oem part it says waiting on device and stays that way... Any help appreciated I just want to get ride of the bloatware on my.phone and am new to this rooting things and some of the guides are confusing. Any help appreciated.thanks. * Sinistyre
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
You need to make sure you have the right drivers and a good cable. Check the drivers in Device Manager. If you need them, just install the newest HTC Sync. You also need to be in the bootloader screen and have fastboot selected. The phone should read fastboot usb in the bootloader screen when plugged in and the computer properly recognizes. If you continue to have trouble, try different cables, ports, and/or another computer.
[XDA Assist] rivalrogue02:
i tried to root it using odin and when i tried it turned on and then the screen went white and wouldnt show any picture.

i need help finding the right stuff to restore it. im running 5.1.1 SM-G925R7

p
[XDA Assist] Droidriven:
Hello,

Welcome to XDA.

You will need to find and download your stock firmware and flash that through Odin.

The thread linked below has the stock firmware for different variants of your phone. I did not see the firmware for your R7 model but I did see a post that said the user successfully flashed the SM-G925R4 stock firmware on their G925R7.

SM G925 stock firmware

You can post your questions in that thread.

If you would rather find the actual stock firmware for your device then you can try going to Sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com.

There is also this tool that you can use to find your firmware, it is supposed to download faster than Sammobile or samsung-updates.

Need help on fixing this error i just downloaded the twrp recovery but on the lg screen it says secure booting error, and it goes back to normal. Im trying to install a custom rom pls help.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] Xstar410:
If you enabled developers options on your device

Then enabled OEM unlock & USB debugging than you are now enable to boot into TWRP recovery if its the one that you installed...

If you haven't installed TWRP than download the app below & install "c50" which is our recovery for LG Leon LTE

TWRP manager
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] charnoha:
I have no OEM unlock option (LG LEON H340N)....

Any help?

Thanks in advance
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] kalosada:
Same secure boot error for me as well. My version LG LEON H340Y. I have no OEM unlock option in developer option.

Flashing through the TWRP manager for C50 says 'unsuccessful'. Flashing via Flashify is successful, but the 'Secure boot error' came up.

Now I am stuck!

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How to: upgrade lg leon variants

All the devices in this thread are compatible & kdz files are available for download from my guide
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] leandeganis:
Yeah but that just work for only a few LG Leon. We do not have that option
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] Xstar410:
okay....

I have a theory that only 5.1.+ have oem unlock so you will have to wait for a system update or flash a kdz file that has an updated android verion of it so just use google & research for a kdz file that matches your device.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] Xstar410:
what's your carrier & country?

this information is useful to find the correct kdz file for your device & also to update it to android 5.1.1 manually

you can re root at 5.1.1 as I done the same, but with the lg leon lte from metropcs
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] kalosada:
Thanks, mine is Australia, Optus Networklocked, LG Leon H340Y, android 5.0.1
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] leandeganis:
They say the method to enter twrp on leon is powering to factory reset mode and select yes yes. Instead of erasing data, twrp is opened. Can you try that JUST after installing via flashify? Be careful tho, just in case it really erase the data
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] kalosada:
I have tried. It did not go past the secure boot error screen. This means the it does not boot to recovery after twrp flash. But when I flash back original stock recovery, my Leon reset to factory after restart. So, irony is I end up loosing everything. This was sad, but the last experiment.

Need a solution badly. Thanks.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] Xstar410:
hi

I made a universal guide that will probably manually upgrade your OS to 5.1.1 which you will be able to OEM unlock & flash TWRP...

SO here is my universal guide

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

What's your country & carrier....kdz files are defined very tightly so in order to use my universal guide you will need the correct kdz file...

Here's my guide
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] charnoha:
Hey guys,

my LG Leon is H340 model from Israel...

My question is, if i can upgrade to 5.1.1?(i heard that its for t-mobile Metropcs variant)
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] Xstar410:
check out my new guide

I created a better guide to be a universal way of flashing a kdz file

here's the guide

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

my guide has your device

the guide that I made will be able to upgrade your firmware & also your android OS to 5.1.x which is able to unlock the bootloader & boot into TWRP.

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

My guide is compatible with your lg leon
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] kalosada:
Thanks, just checking couple of things before I flash: will i loose every thing? Are those for version 5.1.1. Hope there is hardly any chance of brickin.

Thanks again..
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] Xstar410:
This has a 99% chance of always working as for the other 1% is for internal/user failure of directions..

I don't know if all the kdz files are upgraded, but all I can say is just download the latest version of your kdz file.

You will be flashing a new firmware so it WILL reset your device.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] kalosada:
Ok, I am going to try now, just backing up with titanium backup before I do the flashing. My ultimate goal is to install twrp, as I am getting 'Secure boot Error" now.

thanks.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] Xstar410:
Once you flashed the new firmware please check the android version as it needs to be 5.1.x to enable OEM UNLOCK & to root via kingroot, if you have any questions just ask
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] kalosada:
Hi,

Flashed went well, but I end up with the same android version 5.0.1 unfortunately! I think 5.0.1 is the latest version for my carrier/country.

I had a bit of struggling in re-root, but it is done.

It appears that I have to wait for 5.1.1 version firmware.

Thanks.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] Xstar410:
What firmware version did u flash?
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] Xstar410:
So kasoda I been researching all around about your device firmware & its last update in its firmware was in November...so you may have to wait for lg to released an update or go to settings, about phone, & see if you can update it
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] leandeganis:
Yeah usually when you flash the kdz for.your carrier theres no chance to get 5.1. When I go back from vacationa, I'll try flashing a kdz from another country but version v10d e f or g as I think those are 5.1
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] kalosada:
Version 10d and I have to wait or to give up, thanks Xstar410

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] leoni1980:
Bit of a noob question here, but is there a way to use SAP to utilise my cellphone's SIM contacts and network so that when I'm indoors I can text and call on the AMEO and then disconnect when I'm out and about. Currently I have to SIM swap as I don't like making calls on the Ameo in public.

Basically I want my Ameo to act a bit like a RSAP car kit....utilizing my phone's SIM list and transmitter when needed. This would not only be very convenient but would I think make the Ameo's battery last a hell of a lot longer as in my experience GSM/3G drains a lot more power than BT.

could the Ameo do this?

Or is it possible to develop a programme to do this?

I trust that someone out there knows.....

(Both handsets support SAP)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] leoni1980:
is that a no then?! Surprised noone else has thought of this considering the size of the ameo. Does anyone even know if it's possible to 'trick' the ameo's bluetooth stack into thinking it can act as a handsfree car kit? Or would this fall down to the capabilities of microsoft's stack? Come on people.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] apd:
I seem to remember this has been asked before about 3 or 4 months ago and not reply was received then, either (sorry!)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] leoni1980:
That's a real shame.

Would be nice to develop a little app to allow this, after all it's manipulability and flexibility like this which has allowed the bluetooth protocol to develop the way it has.

Surely someone out there knows whether it is AT LEAST possible. This sort of development would perhaps also form the possibility of using the HTC shift for voice calls if a similar SAP mod can be developed - as this is the only feature the device lacks!

Come on - I'm gagging for someone who knows about this to give an answer.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nuclear:
SAP? You mean the software SAP? I use it with remote desktop. I dont think the software is meant for windows mobile. Also I message my clients using Outlook so there is no real problem. I can be logged into SAP as Admin 24/7 via HSDPA or GPRS.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] boinger66:
it was i who created that post about using a SAP profile as a remote phone...

and not a single person chimed in then...

i have done soem extensive research on this subject...

i have found that you need teh development kit for a sim access server (as our phone already has a license)

basicly if someone has a nice car (dump the os) =p

but if we dont have as im access server its not possible...

if someone can get their hands on a sim access server this could very well be a possibility
