[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldSkewler:
Hi guys,

I use the Z5 for a lot of photos and some of the edits I do it on the camera itself because the app is powerful enough - I use the Built-In Photo editor instead of the Google Photos.

I am facing two issues and I was wondering if there is any solution under Android 5.0 or if the newly released update could solve any of the issues below:

- Edited photos as saved under Local Storage as opposed to SD Card, where original photos are saved. Not so bad but I need to move them periodically back to SD Card. Not sure why this happens because I am using all native photo apps (Sony Camera + Album + Photo Editor)

- Big Issue: edited photos completely lose EXIF info, like time taken and camera info. Big time problem for photographers. What is going on here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

PS. The phone runs extremely well and stable, so I was NOT planning to update to 6.0 for the fun of it, but I need a solution for the issues below.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldSkewler:
Any one else facing this issue with the EXIF file?

This morning I updated to Android 6.0 via Sony PC Companion 2.1 and tried editing a photo and same issue with saved file losing EXIF data. This is a bit ironic coming from a phone marketed as a Camera phone.

Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woklet:
Hi guys,

I have a bunch of these tablets available and they're quite useful - the only hitch is that the company selling them has no idea what they are or what they're capable of. So what I'm trying to do is identify exactly what tablet this is so that I can figure out what roms might work etc.

It's based on the RK3188 chipset so that's fine as rockchip are pretty decent for firmware etc - I just want to make sure I get the right stuff.

I can adb into it and managed to dump all the info for it: Wpq0qfby (pastebin)

The homepage_base url points to Aurus Electronics but the only 10" device there isn't quite the same - the camera is different as are the specs and the button layout.

It most closely resembles this: PIPO-M9-Tablet-Resolution-Android on amazon but again, although it has the metallic back plate, the button layout and so on are different.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It is most likely a China based knock off. As for roms you will be hard pressed as there is no kernel source for these devices and most of the time they don't even have the hardware they claim they do.

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNALogic:
I never thought I would be coming here for this issue. This incident is no less than surprise to me.

I tried everything to save my phone from getting hard brick like I downgraded very carefully, became choosy about kernels and custom roms I was flashing but yesterday my phone hard bricked itself magically, yes I am not a freak to make that statement but my

moto e

which was running fine till date

got hard bricked on it's own.

I used it normally, everything was normal but yesterday night when I unlocked my phone to see time and then locked it and then unlocked it after a second to set alarm and guess what, the screen didn't turn on. I waited for a minute but no luck, then I pressed power button for 10-12 seconds expecting a restart but it didn't show up, it gave no response (also the battery was 71% I checked few minutes before) I was out of my mind and then after few minutes I decided to connect my phone to pc and the moment I connected it showed up "qhsusb_bulk" drivers installation, OMG! What the hell did just happen, I lost all of my valuable data in phone memory and also lost my phone in an instant... that too forever ?? :crying:

I spend lots of hours today trying every possible step which could bring my moto e to life but no luck again, I am still wondering what went wrong. Did this happen to anyone out there?

Can any expert on xda answer me what could have went wrong ?? and is there any solution hidden out there?

I don't think even if the Motorola company can itself answer the question.

Little bit more:

I had no internet, no wifi, bt turned on.

Running Stock 4.4.4

Just rooted and used GravityBox (it was running very smoothly till date)

Installed Es File Explorer only, nothing else.

How can it be? :(

I am really shocked and feeling very low, I can't see my moto e dead anymore.

PS: I found no thread of moto e magically getting hard bricked so mods plz, mercy.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -z3r0-:
Bootloader is the key.

Even if fastboot mode isn't turning on then there's no hope.

This is very unusual though.

Did you downgraded from 5.1 to 4.4.4?
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNALogic:
No I didn't do anything but today did postmortem

I did not downgrade or install some app, tweak,kernel or anything, I was on 4.4.4 since 3 months.

And I agree with you, the bootloader has corrupted itself (weird like hell) and screen won't show anything (no fastboot or anything)

Also today morning I disassembled the dead moto e to look if I could find anything but no luck, every component is working like battery, lcd, speaker and everything, except ya bootloader. So postmortem reports say that it was a suicide, the phone killed itself. The soul (bootloader) has left the body of moto e. Yes that sounds funny but that's what it is. I felt very bad for a day but now accepted the fact that some events occur without leaving a trace of cause. Moto E was the only phone I had after selling all the phones I had. Will buy new after few months but I am sure my next phone won't be from Motorola. I will remember this event.

Thread is still open to question asked in post 1 and also I ask what should I do with that dead moto e can I make few bucks out of it so that I can buy new phone soon.

Thank you everyone who came this far.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahish.s:
This issue had been reported on Motorola's forums a few times. Motorola's reply was "It's against forum rules to talk about unlocked phones/modding the phone."

No help from Motorola, the device wasn't meant to last more than a year or two.

Afaik the international variants of the Moto e don't have the power button issue, battery issues, or the sudden death issue.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoseidonKing:
Sorry to hear about the incident, but blaming motorola ain't gonna fix it. Motorola won't care if one of its phones is dead, it has a hell lot of customers buying their phones everyday. And also, motorola is right. They guarantee no life of the device after we unlock it. Still best of luck buying your next phone...:good:

PoseidonKing
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNALogic:
Thanks for reply, And after research I have found thousands of dead moto e owners and still no support from Motorola anyways

If Motorola won't care I won't freaking care either, I am thinking of getting Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon Variant) soon.

You know I use to suggest people to get Motorola and was so damn moto fan that would convince every person I met to get motorola next time but no more motoism. Goodbye Motorola.

P.S. Thread still open for people who could figure out how could I get the suicide note written by my moto e (to find cause of death/hard brick) or if you have an idea of what could have went wrong.

P.P.S. Sorry if posts are more personal and artistic and feelings are overflowing but that's the way I am :) .

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaio Oliveira:
Yea, something similar just happened to my phone and it's driving me nuts. About a week ago i flashed stock 5.1 and it was working fine so far, (except for the camera that was constantly crashing for no reason when I opened it, but that didn't really bother me that much) but suddenly stopped responding when i tried unlocking it. I can't access the bootloader either...

The only response i got was from the little white led when i tried pressing the power button for a bit longer and when i unplugged it from my PC.

The only apps I had installed were the Facebook messenger, Whatsapp and Instagram. Is there any hope to save it? ;-;
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNALogic:
That sounds like hard bricked moto e

Sorry Bro, but by what you said I really feel like your moto e has been hard bricked. No fastboot and white LED blink when plugged into charger is pure sign of hard bricked moto e, then too you can connect to pc and if it's device manager detects it as QH-USBBULK and installs drivers then it's hard bricked for sure and no hope till now. I have been able to get just one guy who claims to bring his hard bricked moto e to life after following some tutorial. You should check this link right now. After reading 2-3 pages you can too try to get your moto e to life. Do reply there or here when you successfully unbrick it. All the best. :fingers-crossed::good:

The list is very long, and the units allowed are hudge !

You can select what unit to use (who know "calibre" ?), and it makes this tool very flexible and reliable (for example, selecting only currencies you use)

The currencies are automaticaly updating when you connect your device to ActiveSync, and that's a good point...

Hi,

When I rotate the phone to landscape I keep hitting the back button as I'm used to the iPhone where you can just grab the side with confidence since there is only a physical home button.

Is this a problem after say, a month, or do you guys never hit the capacitive keys by accident in landscape mode? I don't have a month to decide. I have only a week. It's kind of a bigger change than I thought to be careful everytime I go into landscape, which seems like I shouldn't "have" to be.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] supernova_00:
If you're playing games then enable the game tolls and disable the captive buttons while playing games.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Linked Devices:
Just don't hesitate to rely on the home button as a safe touch region to grip it by. That's why it's a hardware button and not soft touch. It easily becomes second nature in a few days and works well. The signature mix of capacitive and hardware buttons is one of the reasons I prefer galaxy phones. It beats software keys which take up screen space and all capacitive which is really tricky to hold.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] lamenramen:
OK thanks for this. Hope I can get used to it. I suppose the upside of the Android layout is that the back button is at the bottom as opposed to ios where it's at the top left. I appreciate that feature much more often than I appreciate having the entire side being safe to grip in landscape, since I'm in portrait way more often.

What is a game toll?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] supernova_00:
Sorry, game tools. Search the settings for game and then enable one or both of the options...I haven't played around with it to know what each one does but I do know what of the feature on the S7 was a game mode to disable notifications and the buttons while playing games.

Hi

I'm about to move to a new A3 (exact model/android version as yet unknown as phone is still in transit) and I'm getting very confused reading here about the root options.

It seems to boil down to CF-Auto-root, which seems well liked, reliable, but trips KNOX, and KingRoot, which seems to be OK, but has "issues" with Super SU, which, in turn, causes issues with xposed.

As I am puzzled, and I admit to posting a few questions on various threads, I thought I'd start a new one to help both myself, and any other noob users like me to weed out the options.

So, what are peoples opinions? What have they done successfully - please add exact phone model and firmware version.

My aim from a rooted is phone is to de-bloat and (idelly) run xposed as there are two xposed modules I use (volume steps and chrome pie)

Many thanks
