Hi,

I was on B321 and now running on B331 v3 with no issue..but i need to know how to enable the black theme, because i only got the boot logo on black while the call screen still white and notification screen also not in black. planning for B350 later. thank you
[Mate 8 Android Development] Jake2kOne:
When you have the black theme actiavted with the build-in theme app, then you have to use the dialier that was also build-in.

Any other dialer won't be black.

BTW: my "stock dialer" has a typo and is called "dialler". Dunno if this is on every AL10's

I noticed that in my phone manager there many menu item absent (see attachment). How to restore them for it looks like here?
[Mate 8 Android Development] basimzanaty:
It is clear they are not absent.... you are on the second page... just swipe right or left...

I know it's the second page. I hoped to see on this (2nd page) Autorun manager for example like here on the second page.

[AT&T LG G3] alexx388:
Hello everyone.

I have a big problem. :confused:

I bought an LG G3 phone, but didn't know that was AT&T one (LG D850). I live outside United States (I live in South America). The cellphone was unlocked, and it does work to call and recieve incoming calls. Also it can connect to 2G connection (EDGE). But here is the problem: no 3G or 4G connection.

Facts: I'm on a 3G/4G zone, my carrier does provide them, the cellphone does support the bands we use here -> for LTE: 28 and 7.

Looking for a possible solution, I found thet in this model, there is no network mode menu on the phone (Should be on: settings > Networks > Tethering & networks > Mobile networks > Network mode), and also the RAT Selection menu in the hidden menu (3845#*850# > LTE-Only > Modem Settings > RAT Selection > SM/WCDMA/LTE auto) doesn't appear.

I believe that the phone is somehow blocked to use only on USA and only with AT&T network. Is there any solution? Maybe installing another Room? Have anyone tried something or have a possible solution? :crying:

Much thank1 :good:s :fingers-crossed:

Make sure any of the 3 g or 4 g bands arensuported by your carrier im8 only. Using for example i dont know the exact bands say 4 g is 1700 ure carriwr and the g3 say picks up 1750 for gsm 4 g u wont get 4 g it sounds like more of a band coverage issue

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

A unlock isnt for nation specific unlocked should mean u put a card in any where again making sure the bands arw supported ure carrier might emit gsm at 750 4g and cdma at 800 for 4g seeing ure gsm just cauae tbe phone can pick up 800 cmda 4g ure sims telli g 750 for gsm i dont knkw exactly how to change any of this might just be somthing to lookinto the bands emitted from each specific

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

Heck i might be completly wrong and if i am any one please corect me
[AT&T LG G3] alexx388:
Here we use band 7 (2600), and in future band 28 (700). Both are supported by the cellphone.

Weón, tengo el mismo problema, me da rabia porque compré el teléfono super caro y pensé que todo funcionaría bien al checkear la compatibilidad de bandas en gsmarena, espero haya solución, ¿en qué compañía lo usas?, yo en Virgin Mobile y con la CloudyRom , tarde mal y nunca agarra el 3G, y eternamente en EDGE.

I believe that the explanation that they give in the following thread

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bashme:
Hi guys.

Today I downloaded and installed Flashtool (0.9.19.10). I then browsed to C:/Flashtool and here there is no Firmware folder, therefore I cannot add the FTF for flashing. All I see is:

customer (folder)

drivers (folder)

x10flasher_lib (folder)

FlashTool

FlashTool64

stdout

uninstall

x10flasher

Where is the Firmware folder? Am I missing something? Could my Anti-Virus be deleting the Firmware folder?

I see a link for Patch (0.9.19.10). Do I need to install this patch? If so, how do I install it?

I need to downgrade my current firmware build, so that I can root my Sony Xperia Z3, in order to enable USB ports, amongst other tweaks I want to do.

Apologies if my question has been asked, however I have searched the net, and could not find an answer.

Also, I have read that there may be driver issues, once I get passed this current problem. Therefore, I am pre-empting by asking for instructions on how to install the correct drivers for Sony Xperia Z3.

Phone: Sony Xperia Z3

PC: HP Elitebook 6930p

Operating System: Windows 10

Your advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang2011:
1. Yes you have to copy/ replace the old firmware (x10flasher_lib) with Patch (0.9.19.10)

2 The firmware folder is in C:/users/"comp. name"/.flash tool/firmwares----- the ftf file is to be placed there.

3 Good news: you don't have to downgrade now, the latest (NewKingrootV4.80) will root the phone in lollipop 5.1.1 (tried and tested).
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beetle84:
Kingoroot also copies and sends your imei number to somewhere in China.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bashme:
Thanks guys for your valuable advice.

Ideally, I would like to use the NewKingRoot application method. However, this leads to the obvious question - What is the safest way to root my device, Downgrading firmware with Flashtool or using NewKingroot application?

Are there any other 'safe' root applications that can be used for Sony Xperia Z3?

Appreciate your help guys.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beetle84:
Your best bet is to go to kitkat, use giefroot rooting tool, use xz dual recovery tool, then flash a Rom with root and recovery or create a pre rooted ftf with Flashtool/xperifirm. Theres tons of guides around to help you.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bashme:
Brilliant.

Thanks guys for your advice.

Will be looking at KitKat and Giefroot, although Kingroot is tempting.

A noob question - "What is the purpose of the xz dual recovery tool?"

I was under the impression that all that was needed is the rooted firmware flashed using flashtool.

Are these the steps i need to follow: (please correct me if i am wrong)

Download a rootable firmware D6603_23.0.A.2.93

Flash this firmware using Flashtool

Run Giefroot to root my Xperia Z3

Cheers.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You cannot flash a rooted firmware with flashtool..

The recovery is what you use to flash pre-rooted firmwares in the form a .zip file.

Before you use kingroot you should do your research. During the process it will send your IMEI number to an ip address in china.

I suggest flashing a KK FTF with flashtool, root using giefroot, install recovery then flash any pre-rooted firmware you want in recovery.

Really appreciate all the help you guys have provided so far.

Now I've got a new problem.

All I am trying to do is enable to HS-USB ports (diag, serial, modem) on the Windows 10 machine, so that I can ADB into my Sony Xperia Z3.

Device Manager is displaying exclamation marks next to several entries of D6603 (see attached screenshot).

So guys this is what I have done so far:

I downloaded the Z3 drivers from http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z3-driver/

In Device Manager I right clicked on the first D6603 entry and pointed to the Z3 drivers and tried to install the driver but it is not recognised? This happens with the other D6603 entries too. I know I am doing something stupidly wrong here.

Where do I go from here? This is really frustrating.

I also installed Sony PC Companion but that has not helped.

Once again, I am asking for any help to fix this seemingly simple (difficult for me) task.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bashme:
Hi guys.

This is so frustrating.

I have stumbled across another problem. On Windows 10 device manager, I can see several entries of D6603 each with an exclamation mark. I guess this is because of Z3 (D6603) drivers?? Well, I downloaded Z3 drivers from the Sony developers site, however the drivers are not recognised??

I need to activate the HS-USB ports so that I can ADB. Am I using the correct drivers?

Does anyone know, how I can overcome this please?

Also, is there a particular place win Windows, where you have to extract the Z3 drivers to, like System32?

After reading on the net, I may have to do the following:

adb devices

adb shell

su

/system/bin/port-bridge /dev/smd0 /dev/ttyGS0 & setprop persist.usb.eng 1

And this should start the automatic usb driver installation on Windows?? Can anyone confirm this is the correct procedure?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwithrow:
I too am running Windows 10. You have to go into recovery - advanced - startup and select "disable signed driver check" (or something like that) then you can install drivers etc.

The firmware folder is now under (users - username - flashtool)

If you use xperifirm the ftf file creations will automatically go to the right location
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bashme:
Hi gwithrow.

Thanks for your advice.

I went into recovery on my pc and selected "Disable signed driver.........", However, still when I connect my Xperia Z3, there is no automatic driver prompt or installation??

So I decided to start again today:

Downloaded and flashed firmware version 23.0.A.2.93 for D6603.

Ticked the following - USB debugging, Allow mock locations and Unknown sources.

Unticked Verify apps.

Downloaded giefroot tool v3.1.

Rooted Xperia Z3 successfully.

Downloaded ES file explorer and mount /system rw successfully.

Downloaded z3 Dualrecovery and installed ndr utils successfully, Xperia Z3 rebooted to twrp.

(Should I upgrade now to D6603_23.4.A.1.200_Generic-UK_dualrecovery2.8.21_SuperSU-v2.46.zip and install with twrp?)

Using USB cable, I connected Xperia Z3 to my pc and still no driver prompt or automatic installation??

All I want to do is activate the HS-USB Android Diag/Serial ports.

Is there another way to do this??

Am I missing something?

I downloaded the drivers from the Sony and Google sites. However, the drivers are of no use if the PC does not prompt for them!

Any help would be appreciated.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nidhal AKA the king:
hi everyone,

i'm trying to reassembly my Z3 compact but now the bottom speaker is not working even after i place back the middle frame to make contact. as you all knows, the bottom speaker only works when you put back the middle frame because the contact to mainboard are in there.

well, if you check the photos you'll see that one part of the middle frame is broken, even after i placed the middle frame back same as it was the bottom speaker still not working (no sound)

is that have to do with the broken part of the frame?

anyone knows how exactly the bottom speaker make contact to mainboard in order to work?

also what are the side pins surrounding the mainboard? (those pins make contact with the middle frame too)

PLEASE ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA LET ME KNOW

THANKS FOR ALL.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chamelleon:
If I'm not wrong 2 pins right next to speaker are those You are looking for and silver part of frame is used to connect speaker to those pins. Rest silver lines are GPS or WiFi antenna.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulexetina:
All u need is some basic soldering skills and thin wires to connect the speaker directly from the board (don't have the images but my speaker is connected like this). It's very easy.And for the broken middle frame-u gonna need to glue it together and work on those gray antennas (use the wire again and solder it again)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nidhal AKA the king:
yeah, you were right, i connected two wires to the pins next to the speaker and it worked.. i might solder it if im not gonna buy a new frame!

thanks for the help :cowboy:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nidhal AKA the king:
yeah, i tested the wiring and the speaker worked. i can do soldering.. i've been doing that 10s of years ago!

well, for the antenna if i leave it like that u think i'll get a bad wifi signal?

i might order a new frame, i found it as OEM SONY for $11 + $3 shipping fees.

do you think when i buy the new frame the speaker will work again after i place that frame firmly ?

thx:cowboy:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulexetina:
I am not sure for either of those questions :/ U just might solder it and it's good to go (speaker) As for antenna, just reassemble it and see how's the signal. Maybe you don't need another frame at all :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chamelleon:
Sure, You can wire it but then You must insulate silver contacts on frame to avoid short circuit. Other way ~15$ for frame is not that much if You want to be done like it should.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nidhal AKA the king:
[MENTION=2508176]dulexetina[/MENTION]

The frame became a bit messed it up after i tried to remove the silver contacts of the speaker with the soldering gun, the plastic became a bit popped, and bumpy, and it's not as flat as it should be, so it might bother the back cover from being sealed firmly, and there would be pressure that could risk cracking it, so i'm deciding to get me a new replacement frame :)

thanks for your time and advises guys...

i really appreciate it! IT WAS SO HELPFUL

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nidhal AKA the king:
make sure the 2 pins on the mainboard aren't bent down, because this would prevent them (or one of them) to make contact with the silver part of the frame that make bottom speaker works!

After KingRoot you should install the XZDR (use the rooted with SuperSU method)

Now that you have a working recovery and root, UNINSTALL KING ROOT

Search, that's what it's there for. Please do not expect to be spoon fed.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5ageman:
XZDR is Xperia Z Dual Recovery, its basically Philz recovery and TWRP recovery flashed together. You enter philz holding vol up and twrp holding vol down when powering up your xperia. Search for NUT dual recovery install instructions.

King root app is basically chinese super su. So you dont need super su per se. Now install XZDR while you only have Kingroot, no need for super su me. Then when you have twrp you can unroot and install super su by flashing it from TWRP.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @pharaon:

but i get this error Remount system failed
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5ageman:
Download the recovery from here:

http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery

Download the zip to your PC (or a computer), and run the install.bat if you're on a Win PC. Ofcourse connect your phone via USB beforehand and enable USB debugging on your xperia. It will flash the recovery automatically after you grant permissions on your phone, just follow the onscreen instructions.

i got these options

Installation on ROM rooted with SuperSU

Installation on ROM rooted with SuperUser

Installation on an unrooted (Lollipop 5.0) ROM using rootkitXperia

Install ADB drivers to windows

Open an ADB shell

Exit

so since im rooted with kingroot i gues i should select Installation on ROM rooted with SuperSU, right?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5ageman:
Yes, just choose the first option, type 1 and follow the instructions, keep an eye on your phone, it will pop up a couple of yes - no dialogs. Allow the access and ADB access and wait, it will be fast. When you reboot you will see a green LES light up, this is when you hold up or down for the recovery.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @pharaon:
thanks alot for your help

then i'll install super su by flashing it from TWRP right...but do i need to download to SD card or is it an option in TWRP
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5ageman:
Download superSU from here:

https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/

When you boot to recovery for the first time just reboot to system to let it clean up install files. Then unroot your phone trough Kingroot app (general settings) and then reboot to recovery again and flash the file from this link, you will get super su app and super su binaries and this way you're fully rooted and will have dual recovery for flshing whatever you want.

I am not sure if you can flash on it or not, but if the remix OS is not buggy, then it doesn't matter to me. I actually do want to buy it for productivity purposes, as it comes. If the software works, then it would be even better than a pixel C for productivity to me, not only for price, I like the design, and the software looks good too. But like I am saying, I was wanting to try the Remix OS software first on a device that I already have, before I spend $300 on a device designed specifically for that software which could be buggy.
