[Fuhu Nabi 2] Twink225:
So sorry hun, toshiba is driving me nuts and I'm having a bad add moment or three lol. I read about you retiring. so I tried hard not to bother you. now I'm really confused. I've read your nabi2 general info post and even ran across your youtube vids. the problem is I'm not familiar with adb. & the included NabiLabGUI drivers, win10 either fails to finish saying it was interrupted. or it just won't install the 32 bit drivers, I thought I as suppose to use.

The 64bit driver 3 out of 4 install but, I can not get the Google Inc, driver to install properly even with the inf file. (ie the android_winusb.inf ) it says the system can't find the file, it can install the older versions from NabiLabGUI or naked drivers. but doesn't show in add/remove and it still won't detect the tablet most of the time lol.

Pda also has conflicts with adb, I got the nablab disney option to detect it but still failed to install twrp saying it can't find devise and I noticed in device manager 2 driver problems that will not let me update manually or they go missing if I try to force windows to reinstall. (device descriptor request & set address failed)

I must be missing something big, I also tried the 15sec and minimal adb. I assume because the tablet won't fully boot up, windows doesn't know what to do with it. when I tried different cables. windows 10 enterprise won't play nice at all now. so I will format again to be safe but lost what to try next.

I guess my questions should be is there a work around or a full inf version of the newer drivers for NabiLabGUI2015 that might work with this demonic disney nabi2.

&

Is NabiLabGUI compatible with .net framework 4.6 advanced services? (I may have to downgrade o/s. on the nabhacks site is says .net 4.5 is a prerequisites.) I don't know much about the app but saw 4.6 comes preinstalled, I can't install 4.5 yet, I saw there has been compatibility issues. and it won't let you revert versions easily if at all.

I'm to tired of this tab to think straight anymore and so grateful any help I'm in way over my head here. :eek:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dcmarch:
Has anyone else had a problem with the fingerprint security. When my phone is locked and on lock screen I have phone and camera app in the corners. If I open the phone app it doesn't ask for a fingerprint scan and I can make calls then if I back out of it the phone is unlocked never asking for a fingerprint or password. Why have the fingerprint for security if all you have to do is open the hone and then hit home button or back button.

I think your settings might be off.

On mines it askes for fingerprint. If not thena patten is needed.

If i swipe up the camera or double click home button. It loads camera and i can take pictures. When i back out it goes to lock screen asking for FP.

On the dailer tho.

It will not open until i do my FP or lock patten.

If i do 911 call it will, load the dailler then hitting the back button brings me back to the lock screen

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayb151:
So, I'm trying to install TWRP on my Idol 3. I followed all the directions I've found. Basically I get to the point where I change the connection to the PC to the CD drive so that I can install the drivers. I go to install the drivers, and it fails every time. I've tried it on 3 different Windows PCs. I do have a mac at my disposal, would this be easier? I'm seriously going crazy trying to figure out why I can't root this phone! Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[MTCB Hardware Development] Mekanix1:
My unit is a coolpumpkn KD-D1908 for a suzuki grand vitara.

The button lights are always on when the unit is powered on and they are always brighter than the surrounding lights.

Also there is no way to turn them off or dim them with the vehicle dimmer.

Iis there a hardware or software way to enable dimming.

My first idea was to disconnect the led positive lines and connect them to the vehicle's illumination wiring. Since its all 0-5v it should run the stereo led's just fine or i'll have to use a voltage converter to get the right brightness to match the rest of the surrounding lighting.

I think the only wire on the head unit for illumination has one function and that its an input to the mcu that in turn sends a signal to the rk3188 to dim the screen according to a preset software amount. So that's only an on and off setting.

I'm just looking for a way to make this unit behave like the factory unit :)

Thanks.
[MTCB Hardware Development] RabbidHampster:
On my Joying unit, there is a setting in "Factory Settings" that controls this option. Might be label button illumination or something similar.

Option 1 would have the buttons illuminate only when my headlights are switched on. Your HU needs to be wired correctly (i.e. proper illumination/dimmer wire).

Option 2 illuminates the buttons at all times but disables screen dimming with headlight switch. I have to manually dim my screen with this option and this is currently what I'm using.

[Sony Xperia M5] Sphairax:
(alternate fix)

hi, guys!!

This is my first post where I will show you how to fix the

Auto shutdown problem until we get an official fix from

Sony.

Let's start:

Go to the Dial pad and type*#*#3646633#*#*

This will take you to engineer mode

Now go to Bandmode>SIM1 and unthick EGSM900, GSM850, WCDMA-GLR-850, WCDMA-GSM-900.

Now click set and that's it.

You may experience worse reception in places with bad reception but atheist you will be able to use your phone, that's why it's a temporary fix. I have been using this method for one month and it has worked.

I'm not an expert so if I am wrong in something please correct me ?
[Sony Xperia M5] Sphairax:
I forgot to mention that if you have 2 SIM card repeat the process on the second one
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
Just FYI, there's already an official fix, it's going to a Service Center to get your faulty battery replaced by a newer one without the issue. If you unit was manufactured in 2016 then you already have the new battery and are exempt from the issue, if you got your unit in 2015 and are experiencing random shutdowns, the warranty should cover you...
[Sony Xperia M5] Sphairax:
Yeah, I know but some people just don't have time to leave their phone in costumer service for minimum a week besides this method works pretty well.
[Sony Xperia M5] Sphairax:
Besides I bought my phone in January and I got this problem. I have taken it to the service center 3 times where they changed the battery 3 times.
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
I said units manufactured in 2016, not units bought in 2016 (e.g. there's still a small chance of getting an unit from an old stock manufactured in 2015 even if you buy it nowadays, depending of the store/seller/etc). Taking into consideration that you got your unit in January and also have the issue, it's pretty likely to be from an old stock of units manufactured in 2015. You can check the exact manufacturing date by looking at the sticker present inside the SIM/SD card compartment, mine for example marks 16W04 (aka "manufactured in the fourth week of 2016") and doesn't have the issue, I never experienced a single shutdown, not even when doing the testing procedure to check if the unit was affected by Battery Lock issue.
[Sony Xperia M5] DdKkw:
Hi. Its Dk.

I am the one originaly posted those soltution on xda and gsm arena.

In real, if you get the battery replaced, you will suffer from permanent overheating and slow charging. Also, it takes 3 weeks to replace the battery by freaking noob sony service centers.

It also aplies on the phone manufactured newly

Now i am tryng the new way and its been working 6hours without shutdown and turning off frequency.

Be patient, after organizing, I will post the new way

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Ps. The cause is not the battery, but the chipset and Sony's **** softwear
[Sony Xperia M5] pren22:
It can't be the software my phone never turned off not even once,no random reboots,nothing.Only thing is that it heats up when playing some online games but nothing so much after i'm done playing and leave it for cuple of minutes without using it and it cools down to the normal temperature...
[Sony Xperia M5] DdKkw:
I guess you are in good network condition, full of signal strength , even wifi.

Then you wont feel anything from this problem... and the shutoff problem is not only on m5,

almost every sony xperia series. even z5.

and basically, the phone turns off because of supply voltage. its rare to happen on battery as worldwidly.
[Sony Xperia M5] pren22:
Not really,everytime i get inside of a store my signal drops and the phone still doesn't reboot or "die".I even tried the test and it passed.
[Sony Xperia M5] DdKkw:
When your signal completely drops, you wont have overheat and shutdown. Because the phone wont even try to get the good signal.

But when you have subtle signal strength, the story changes.

CuZ the phone stays in the idle state for better signal strength.

Im testing with fast dormancy disabling. But not sure yet.
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
As a person who personally owned a Xperia M and is now owning a Xperia M5 and that also had close contact with Xperia S, Xperia U, Xperia C, Xperia ZL, Xperia E3, Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3+ I can safely say that what you're claiming here is bullsh*t. There's one operator in my neighborhood that always have very poor signal (never more than one or two bars in network indicator) and those models I mentioned earlier NEVER shut off at those conditions, at maximum they got a little warm during huge data transfers (e.g. downloading/uploading a big file over mobile data) and nothing more.

Particularly with Xperia M5, there's the now known battery lock issue (even Sony officially acknowledged this). If your unit was from an earlier batch (generally manufactured in 2015), it may randomly shut off, not because of supply voltage, but because of RF interference: the battery on those models has poor shielding, which triggers the issue (you can get a free battery replacement just by going into service center, which will completely fix this issue on affected units). However, if your unit was from the new batch, manufactured in 2016, you're totally exempt from this issue. My unit, for example, was manufactured in 2016 and it never shut off randomly, nor it triggered battery lock issue (I can do the official testing procedure thousands of time and it always pass without issues). To be honest, until now I've never encountered any user with a Xperia M5 unit manufactured in 2016 having this issue.

And if it this "shut off due poor signal" issue you're claiming REALLY happens on "almost every Xperia series" why I can't find not only a single complaint when going into the forums of other Xperia devices, here at XDA?
[Sony Xperia M5] DdKkw:
Have a look gsm arena. Xda is not the world
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
GSM Arena isn't the world either. But since you've mentioned GSM Arena, let's talk about GSM Arena, going into User Opinions about Xperia M5 you can see lot's of posts complaining about random shutdown (the known battery lock issue) but all of them made in 2015 (in other words, users from the first batch, which had the RF interference problem). You can't find a single post from 2016 about battery lock issue. And continuing on GSM Arena, I also visited User Opinions from the phones I mentioned earlier and didn't find anyone complaining about random shutdowns like you've claimed.

So, yes, what you've said before still makes no sense, like I said before, bullsh*t...
[Sony Xperia M5] DdKkw:
Hey mate. Then you think battery lock issue is separated from autoshutting down?

So 2016 manufactured phone has got something different other than battery.

But i think battery gets locked because of autoshutting down. Since my phone does show different battery percentage when autoshutdown happens.

And if 2016 manufactured phones have replaced battery, why would i see somebody still gets the problem after they have replaced their battery?

Its may of 2016 already.

So to finalize it, we can guess few situations.

1. Replacing phone battery only works in certain region. Which means sony hasnt fixed the problem.

Or

2. Its not battery issue. Sony put something else in new manufacturing.

3. Those comments are lying to disturb sony's income.

So its the why i cant trust your opinion that 2016 phones dont have the problem.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia M5] artcv87:
Change the Battery

This fix work for me, but the problem is the signial, i none.

So i change the battery and is working pretty well, i have two weeks without auto shutdown problem.

PD: My terminal was bring from China.

[Sony Xperia M5] Ninoh-FOX:

Yeah!!! I can in 30.2.x.1.21, this is engineermode extracted from system.sin 30.2.x.0.101, only put this in /system/app/
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
[MENTION=1790495]Ninoh-FOX[/MENTION] you didn't deodex it, the fact that the odex file from 30.2.x.0.110 worked on 30.2.x.1.21 was pure luck, further updates will certainly break it. Anyway, I attached the deodexed APK below, I haven't tested since I'm without my phone again (returned it and waiting for another unit) but it should work fine on 1.21 and on future updates as well...
[Sony Xperia M5] aidfarh:

[Sony Xperia M5] Sha2312:

[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:

[Sony Xperia M5] ucheseze:
Hi all.

I'm a newby here.

I thank mbc07 and Ddkkw in particular for their contributions here.

My case is a poser to both of your perspectives on the sudden death problem of M5.

After I log lost my Z3v to thieves, I decided to go for M5 E5663 dual. I made the eBay seller pull out the sticker to check the date before I paid him. He also swore it had no problems.

It's 16W07. I've now had it for 3 days. Out of the box, I had to use a USB cable to "start" it, and it shuts down at will, in fact so often I've not been able to set it up. It will shut down in flight mode, with no SIM, with one or with two SIM. The latest is it won't boot up even plugged in - it boot-loops endlessly at the first Sony logo screen. I'm still searching Google for something to inflict on that eBay seller!

Unfortunately, the cost of sending it to a Sony Service centre will buy me a new phone.

Please can anyone suggest a way out for me here?
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
Well, you can try to replace your battery on a 3rd party shop. The battery with poor shielding is the cause of this issue...
[Sony Xperia M5] ucheseze:
Thanks for that advice. I shall explore that. I've seen battery offers for around US$10 on eBay, and some of them seem trustworthy. But no way of knowing which battery is the updated batch.
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
This post should help you, it has some official info regarding the issue...

On the current firmware (30.2.x.1.21), Engineering Mode was removed, so you can't mess with those settings anymore. However, if you're rooted, you can restore Engineering Mode by manually placing this APK inside /system/app/EngineeringMode...

[Sony Xperia M5] Kennedy01:
Thank you but just before i engage in rooting my phone i would request whether its wise to do so as compared to an earlier suggestion on replacing my battery. Please advice
[Sony Xperia M5] mbc07:
As I said before, the only way to fix the auto shutdown bug once and for all is replacing your faulty battery with a newer one (and if your phone is under warranty, they'll replace it free of charge at Service Center). The "fix" from this thread actually does not fix anything, it's just a workaround to prevent triggering auto shutdown but it does so at expense of limiting the network frequencies the phone can use, thus, crippling the coverage and mobile data speed, depending of your location and carrier.
[Sony Xperia M5] Wahyuyudian:
Is it better if i instal a bigger capacity of battery? Like 4200mah?? I lived in bali over here this kind of case are rare and im the unlucky ones,please help..thanks
[Sony Xperia M5] ucheseze:
I'm afraid, mbc07, this problem goes beyond replacing with new battery. I've opened up my device to discover that it sports the latest battery rev, as has been recommended here. Furthermore, my device itself was made in week 07 of 2016, and was not supposed to be afflicted with this problem in the first place - according to your analysis.

Disabling bands improved the problem a bit for me. Then updating to Marshmallow and latest patches also seemed to temporarily solve the issue, and for the first time I was able to use the phone continuously through one battery charge cycle without sudden death - more than 24hrs.

Then it's back to the misery again.

Mine is even worse than others in that when it dies, I can not just revive it immediately by plugging in. It starts an annoying bootloop process that can last two days, before it decides to show a green led light.

So, my M5 best serves me as a paper weight rather than a phone, until someone comes up with a working fix.

[Sony Xperia M5] nightshiftmty69:
Hi everyone,

I know all we ar doing are only workarounds because there is no certainty about the exact cause of the problem, so I I won't bother claiming this is a fix.

The workaround I found at another forum and that has helped me recover the use of my phone is removing (not deleting) the wheater and camera widgets from any screen desktop I have on my phone. So far I've been able to use my phone for the last two days (I hope it lasts).
