[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] Supa_Fly:
So a LETTER was what you chose Sony for in the first place. Wow.

The smoothness of the OS, the camera, the great Aosp support of existing devices nor even the water/dust rating with almost a decade legacy of doing this in their phones, nor even the quality audio and accessories being innovative.

Sure go a ahead and deal with the competition. Personally it would be smarter to stick with Sony getting the Z line even 6 months from now as support under warranty will still continue until all sales of that device stopped.

Where do you kids think life and products are about? Change is inevitable! Get over the letter "X" drove huge success for Sony 6yrs ago why not try to repeat that.

It's a VRRY crowded market and consolidation the screen size is smart. Making the phones interact with us as humans is genius because looking down at my phone for a total of 3hrs combined a day feels unnatural in my neck - I do body build!

I want real world performance not a spec sheet that doesn't perform!!

I just bought a Z5 full retail and I'm very happy. I'll get the Z5C as a backup especially when travelling. I'll see the upgrade to the Xperia X Performance or whatever Sony brings next year. Not going to cry over spilt milk cause they made a very conscious and rational change in their product lineup.

Grow up.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] ptmaniac:
AHAH do you work at sony marketing and you got offended by my opinion? Cause your post makes no sense otherwise... When i bought my z2 almost 2 years ago it was THE top notch device. 3GB RAM, snapdragon 801, great screen, comfortable size, nice front stereo speakers, waterproof, huge battery, the best camera at the time, etc. It was very easy to justify it's flagship price and i still love the damn phone almost two years later.

Obviously i don't care about letters, naming or brands, i care about specs, functionality and price. That's were the X series fails for me because it brings nothing new to the table except slightly upgraded hardware. my biggest problem with the X series is the price range sony is placing the devices at giving it's specs, nothing else. I don't feel like an X performance is worth 700eur to upgrade from my Z2 (i would get a better cpu and camera, nothing else...i can get a z5p for less than 600eur and it still feels like a better option than the x for me).

IF you feel like it's worth it buy it, enjoy it, and stop criticizing other people opinions. I don't have a sentimental attachment to any brand so it's easy for me to choose the device that fits my needs for the best price am i not free to do that?

Honestly if i change to another brand the only thing i'll miss it's the great dev community sony has here at xda. and that doesn't include you obviously ;)
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] corallus:
But going by your own logic there, the Xperia X is a worthy flagship, no?

It has the fastest cpu,

It has the fastest ram

It has improved screen,

It has stereo speakers

And the improved camera.

Take it from me, I have no intention in buying X, because I have Z5p. But come IFA, the letter won't mean jack if the specs match my expectations of a flagship.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] ptmaniac:
[MENTION=4058541]corallus[/MENTION]

It has the fastest cpu --> check (x performance only)

It has the fastest ram --> only 3gb, benchmarks not available yet so not sure it'll be the fastest ram available.

It has improved screen --> maybe be improved color wise but it's smaller and the same technology.

It has stereo speakers --> check (and if i go to another brand i'll definitively miss the front stereo speakers a LOT )

And the improved camera --> somewhat, will have to see after the device is released

For a sony 2016 flagship i think it's missing usb 3.0 connectivity (deal breaker for me in 2016) , a bigger battery, 4gb of ram and at the very least 64gb of FAST internal storage. Wireless charging and an ir blaster would be an welcome bonus but not a deal breaker.

The screen size drop to 5.0" makes no sense to me either especially given the 68.1% screen-to-body ratio. 5.2 or 5.5" as in z5p would be fine.

AGAIN i'll have to reinforce I NEVER said the x series is a sh*t device (quote me if a did), i'm just stating my personal opinion that it doesn't feel like a true flagship, especially for the 700eur price.

Anyway this will be the last post i'll make on this thread. I have only stated MY opinion, i've not been aggressive/stupid and i did not make any personal attack against anyone. I don't know why some people are turning this into a personal war, and i do have better stuff to do with my time so i'm out.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] anmolkakkar:
Why the fight?

I agree with [MENTION=1900966]ptmaniac[/MENTION] that its a decent phone; but its targeted for mid-rangers because the price is definitely a deal-breaker for specs like that of mid-2015.

Sony has made VERY GOOD phones in the past but coming up with X series with little to no improvements - puts the deal off. (4gb RAM, AMOLED Screen, at-least Better photo Quality on your phones when you use the same sensor you distribute to others) (My Note5, costing lesser, will defeat XP on all grounds. Wait till the phone comes in market and check out the comparison people do).

I myself have been a user of Z1 Compact (A true mini flagship) for 1.5 years, but NOW Sony doesn't feel like they are giving any value-for-money devices.

+1 on the support for Sony devices on xda. Kudos to every1 on that. :)

Its a personal opinion in the end. You want to buy, please go ahead and enjoy ;)

We just dont feel like spending 700 for a mid-ranger specd phone.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] Supa_Fly:
Don't say we when you mean you. Again its a difference of opinion and view. Not a fight. We've already worked out our views in PM. No need to investigate.

The Z5compact is also a true small form flagship device: none has the same 810 CPU with 2GB ram and 32GB internal storage! None.

Since you're talking about a 3generation old phone you haven't seen value for the dollar in almost 3yrs not sure how you're even mentioning about this product. You mention awaiting for comparison but state camera should be better? Conundrum?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] Illmatic662:
I'm interesting in this phone in the North American Market, I contacted Sony but they said no pricing information is available yet.

At $499 is would be an average deal, at $399 this would be a fantastic deal.

I'm thinking US pricing will probably be $499, $399, and $299 for the XA.

I didn't make this video. I wanted to share it since I found that the video shows the true potential of the Xperia X series.

Display is a lot better than the normal Xperia Z5(fhd).

You will see a difference in the camera quality as well.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayat123:
hi friends i am new at this forum and need some help, before this, I usually figured everything out by reading others thread or googling. But now I need your help guys. I recently try to flash my i ball cobalt 4 with the stock rom of the same version [downloaded from needrom.com],But I probably did a mistake and I was messing up with bootloader. The result is that my phone wont even start. No bootloop, no recovery, nothing. Display and everything else remains dead.

At least is phone still detected by computer when I connect it as mtk usb port[it is on META mode now i think]

Also in Smart Phone Flash Tools phone is still visible.

But when I try to flash or format anything it gives me this error message:

It says:

"BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)

[EMI] Enable DRAM Failed!

[HINT]: Please check your load matches to your target which is to be downloaded"

I already tried different versions of SPFT and also stock cobalt 4's ROM's from diferrent sources.cleaned mtk deivers many times by using usbdeview according to tutorial. but sadly did not get any success.

My OS is Windows 7x64.

Please guys, this is the first time I'm asking for a help, because I am really desperate and I don't know what else try to make my phone flashable and working again. I googled, searched lot of topics, everything what I was capable to think about. I would be super gratefull for help.

THX guys for your suggestions and help!!!

BTW: I heard some phones can be turned to some kind of "service" bootloader mode with connecting two contacts on main board of phone. Do you know if iball cobalt 4 have this function?

one more thing is that when i selected scatter file first time in spft it gave me an error invalid scatter file so i had to delete scatter file's first line[ie birdtoolminver3.4].so is the scatter file is problem of mentioned error.

everyone who seems to have received the update was not on 5.0.3. I have yet to see anyone on 5.0.3 confirm they were able to update to 5.0.5.

I'm on 5.0.3 myself.

apparently we can root with kingroot on 5.0.3... so depending on how soon things get figured out related to custom recovery... rooting on 5.0.3 then using a custom recovery and pre-rooted 5.0.5 rom may be quicker than waiting on Amazon.

[Fire TV General] rbox:
AFTVNews used to have a list of software updates and their URLs. Dunno if it still does. Unfortunately you can't force the update, as you need to be able to write to /cache to do it.
[Fire TV General] ImCoKeMaN:
ok I saw it wasn't updated on [MENTION=5957312]AFTVnews.com[/MENTION] site ( http://www.aftvnews.com/software/ ) but I guess without r/w /cache it isn't as important wonder if we could replay the sw update check and use a pc proxy to push it. I'm sure I'm not thinking of something more advanced than what you already have though so I can stop and await the update patiently like everyone else, and see if you have the custom recovery already. I guess I'm just excited that after all this time the stick is finally software rootable. That hardware method was a little too tight soldering for me on the stick... at least without some other donor device to practice a few times

So i was trying to flash hacker kernel

It bootlooped.

So i reflashed renegade and tried reflashing.

it rebooted

now everytime i try and flash anything it reboots

super su is missing.

I installed super su from play store

when i go to flash binaries it reboots.

I updated TWRP

still same thing.

If i flash anything it just boots back to recovery.

Any thoughts?

Flashed back to stock and rerooted.

Did the trick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Would you consider editing the topic to add the word "solved" please? The might help give others direction.

So when you started out from stock, you used Odin to install TWRP, but then thought you could get rooted by installing SuperSu from the Play store, which did not work.

Proper steps are to install TWRP using Odin with SuperSU on your phone. After TWRP is installed, instead or rebooting completely, reboot to Recovery and flash SuperSU that way.

Is that about right, [MENTION=1574453]phelony[/MENTION]?

No I had previously been rooted fine and dandy. for some reason TWRP started just rebooting on any flash.

[Huawei Watch] fstanis:
Hi all,

I just bought my Huawei Watch and noticed it's quite limited when paired with an iPhone - most notably when it comes to apps (presumably due to Apple's policies). The internet seems quite scarce when it comes to development resources related to iPhone + Android Wear so I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. Most notably, I'd like to know:

Would it be possible to create an iOS app and an Android Wear app (installed manually via adb) and have them communicate with each other in some way?

Assuming the previous is possible, what are the limits of this approach, i.e. is there anything that wouldn't be possible in this kind of Android Wear app that's possible when paired with Android?

How difficult would it be to produce an Android Wear app that would "trick" the iPhone into thinking it's an Apple Watch, in a way which would make existing Apple Watch apps work with it?

Note: I'm fully aware that these things, even if possible, wouldn't be able to reach the Apple app store - I'm OK with that, I'd only be doing this for personal use.

Any help / links pointing in the right direction regarding the specifics of Android Wear <-> iPhone apps are more than welcome.
[Huawei Watch] kimtyson:
If it were that easy it would have been done already. Just get an Android phone or get an iWatch.
[Huawei Watch] player911:
If your jailbroke, I think there are some apps like that that give you additional functionality.
[Huawei Watch] Scott:
1. Possible but no one would take that on. This is generally a non-iPhone forum.

2. See #1

3. Nearly impossible. You would need an emulator on the watch to make the watch think it's an Apple Watch so it would run the Apple Apps. And if someone did do this it would be so god awfully slow it wouldn't be worth it.

I hate to say it but... Get an Android phone or an Apple watch for maximum usability.

I myself am an Android fan :) Get your self a Nexus 6P or the Nexus 5X.
[Huawei Watch] fstanis:
Just to clarify - I'm not looking for an existing solution (though I'd be fine with it if one exists), but I'm looking to work on one myself in my spare time and am looking for some resources to get started.

I'm aware this forum is mostly Android-related, but there are definitely iOS-related topics as well (in retrospect, I probably shouldn't have posted in this forum - I expected the question might have some hwatch-specific to it - so maybe it should be moved to Android Wear Software and Hacking General?)
[Huawei Watch] Scott:
Ahhh... I see ok. I get you!

I dont know of any resources that would be of any benefit to you.

Sorry but good luck as well!
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZMan2k2:
Hey all.

I'm looking for an upgrade in sound from my Asus Zenfone 2. I like that in the app store, there's an app that allows you to turn on the HiFi DAC of the V10, something I'd use often, as my phone is my main music listening source.

But I'm torn between shipping an unlocked version from the States for a V10 and paying $1000CAD, or waiting and seeing if I can get the G5 on contract here in Canada, and saving a bit. The smaller battery of the G5 concerns me a bit, and I would get the B&O HiFi DAC add on for the G5, so which way to go? I like the second screen on the V10, but they are doing similar on the G5, and the G5 comes with M. Would I even get a M upgrade for the V10 here in Canada? I also like that the V10 is rootable right now, as I have a love of V4A, so that's a plus for the V10.

A little advice from those who are considering upgrading, or who are sticking with the V10? Please.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZMan2k2:
I've been reading, and it seems the version that I can get in Canada of the V10, the dual-sim version, can't be rooted yet. Is this true? Because I'm a basshead, I use Aurisonics Kicker IEM's, and crave bass. That's why I wanted to root. To get V4A. But, if root is a long way off, or not at all, that may sway my decision. So, can anyone comment on the bass response of the V10 with say, PowerAmp Alpha? I would be using the app to turn the DAC on and off in the app store, so I would be using the DAC/Amp all the time while listening to music, and turn it off when I'm done.

So, is root possible for the future, or is the bass response good with PowerAmp?
