[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob_coder:
I am following this thread before you even suggested me, but its very confusing. I have made my TA Partition Backup. Now there are few steps which are totally out of sync by the writer of this thread himself. For example.

7.Unlock your bootloader now.request keys from here.follow the guide

http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlo...r-boot-loader/

He did not even mention how to unlock the bootloader, but nontheless I found out the steps to unlock my bootloader. But there is one problem with me. When I run that fastbood unlocker command, my pc gives error. I am pasting a screenshot of that error. Kindly follow it up and suggest me the fix for it.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
you have to go into your developer settings of the device and click "enable oem unlock" (an odd decision to have this if you ask me)

i tried this and had to enable that open aswell for me to unlock my bootloader
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob_coder:
Thanks buddy. It worked like charm :) :):good: :cowboy:. But you know with greater possibilities comes greater mysteries. Now since I am rooted with my phone, there are strange things happening:D:cowboy:. For example Greenify is now acting like that it doesnt have full root access even though I have allowed it through SU and it will show Greenify - No Auto Hibernation, then it mentions Pending Manual Hibernation, when I click on manual hibernation it starts to Force Stop the apps using the Apps Module of the Android OS, a thing which never happened with me on any of my rooted android phones. :silly::rolleyes::eek::crying:

Second problem is that the guide which made me root the one which you also suggested me, installed TWRP recovery on my device. :crying::confused:For some funny reasons I never liked TWRP Recoveries and wouldn't stand a chance to use it. I tried to flash XZDual Recovery, but to of no avail. Is there any workaround to remove TWRP or Flash XZDual Recovery on top of TWRP and make XZ Dual Recovery as Default Recovery.?:silly::silly:
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Not that I know of and given the support and useful things in twrp i'd suggest you use it although you may not like it

Reinstalling apps usually works for me half the time if they are acting odd.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob_coder:
Buddy I think through this tutorial either root access is not properly allowed or maybe this whole tutorial had some kind of step which made partial rooting. Strange things are happeing with some applications. For example SD MAID PRO and ROOT UNINSTALLER PRO are working with root access without any problems. But GREENIFY and now CLEAN MASTER's AUTO START UP feature (requires root access) is not working even it says CLEAN MASTER has been given root access on my device. But then it fails to toggle enable/disable STARTUP ADDS which are around 34+. Second this Greenify is not even AUTO HIBERNATING the apps which are user apps. If I run it on NON ROOT MODE it says MANUAL HIBERNATION PENDING. If I run it on ROOT MODE it says on the top "No Auto-Hibernation" and down again written "Pending Manual Hibernation".

I have tried multiple SU packages like 2.71 Beta 2.65 but same ****s going on again and again. Can you figure it out :) :good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::cool::eek::eek:
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Open the SuperSU app and check if greenify and other apps have been denied root access.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob_coder:
No way MAN. They are all allowed. I know how to check SU for Denied & Allowed Apps in its list. This is really pissing me off. Any other ideas?:mad::confused::confused:
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
not sure, it doesnt make Any sense that some apps work and some dont because i followed the same tutorial and ive not had any root related issues so im out of ideas really

but first make sure that if you flash a stock kernel then use the rootkernel tool to drm patch and well obviously allow root.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob_coder:
Greenify latest version is 2.8.1 . I removed it and installed an older version 2.7.1 and it is now working automatically hibernating the unncessary apps. Now remains only CLEAN MASTER. Its working with root only I cant use toggle enabling/disabling startup adds.:silly::silly::cyclops:

so that i can flash the root.zip

i enter the passwort for decrypt data but nothing happends, and after every boot i need to flash twrp again ?

May anybody can help me?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
Encrypted N environment is having issues with TWRP, it either fails to boot into recovery or decryption doesn't work. The best thing you could do here is, decrypt your internal storage entirely.

Once you have decrypted, TWRP will be fully operational, and you can flash the latest SuperSU via recovery itself.

Here is the link: https://download.chainfire.eu/932/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip

And yeah, you can flash back 3.0.2-0, it will work perfectly after decryption. :highfive:

I will be going on a camping trip this summer and would love to have a battery pack that can rapid charge. Are there any?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] thesoldier:

That's the one I bought. Supports 5V/3A from the USB-C port, which by the way works for input and output. Very happy with it so far.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] anotherfakeusername:
The Amazon link says 2.4A.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] tehloxely:
2.4A for the iSmart port. The Amazon questions/answers says it can charge rapidly.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] rhammock:
This one has been good to me.

http://www.amazon.com/INNORI-12000m...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
[Nexus 5X Accessories] drewski_1:
it has no Type-C port. does it rapid charge the 5x?

Yes it does

Yes it does quick charge. I grabbed a few of these adapters - http://www.amazon.com/TechMatte-Con...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
There aren't any type C packs around 10,000 mAh but any 2.4A one with a type A to C cable will charge the 5X fairly close to type C fast charging.

I got this plus a short 1ft iCambond USB-A to Type C cable:

[The Most Powerful 10000mAh Power Bank] Anker PowerCore+ 10050 Premium Aluminum Portable Battery Charger with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Technology (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013HSQXZC/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_mainxbF0E4E1N
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Crossfire9:
No - it cannot quick charge using an A cable. A does not support 3A charging.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] 2x4:
https://www.amazon.com/iVoler-10000mAh-External-Battery-Charging/dp/B01A6HKP7E/

I have this one, which definitely fast charges @5V/3A my Nexus 5X/6P, and even can be fast charged itself at the same speed via USB-C.

The output is a bit limited though, so you can't use the other (USB-A) port at the same time at max speed if you're using the USB-C port at max speed.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] sfhub:
Depends what you mean by quick charge.

The 5x only does 2.6A when the battery is very low. Somewhere in between it goes to something like 1.6 or 1.8A.

These battery packs using USB A to C cables can do 1.5A charging, which is within USB A spec.

So you can't get the super quick 10 minute burst you get with the USB C to C cables, but you still get pretty fast charging overall, comparable to the USB C to C cable for a full charge. It might be something like 30min slower, but way better than a couple of hours. slower if you were truly at .5A on a computer USB port.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] 2x4:
USB-C devices with a compliant USB A-C cable can also do up to 2.4A charging without issues, even though it's not explicitly listed in the USB spec.

MicroUSB has been doing 2.1A and 2.4A on normal non QC2.0/3.0 smartphones forever.

look up a number of Benson Leung's reviews on amazon where he shows compliant cables charging at 5V/2.4A
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Crossfire9:
I mean "rapid charging" (5V/3A) which is what I assume anyone asking for "quick charge on a Nexus " is meaning.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] sfhub:
My point is the 5x doesn't actually charge at 3A sometimes significantly less, which ends up making the "RapidCharge" and non-"RapidCharge" somewhat comparable.

When the battery is low it charges at something like 2.6A

When the battery is around 40% it charges at something like 1.8A

Using BC 1.2 spec on the USB A to C cable with 56k pullup resistor even non USB C battery packs can charge the phone at 1.5A. That is what my non-USB C battery pack does with N5X.

So if one is charging their phone when it is at 40% using USB C to USB C cable then they will get 1.8A charging (because that is what the N5X is deciding to pull)

Using the "non-rapidcharge" USB A to USB C cable with battery pack often will get you 1.5A charging.

1.8A is much more comparable to 1.5A to the point that some folks might consider both to be "RapidCharge"

So IMO if you are charging a fully drained phone then the USB C to USB C power charging path has the advantage of 2.6A charging until around 40%.

If instead you are sitting at 40% and thinking you better top off while you have a chance, then even non USB C battery packs will charge at similar rates to the RapidCharge USB C battery packs.

Depending on usage patterns and one's existing inventory of battery packs, some may feel that 1.5A "slow-charge" vs 1.8A "rapid-charge" is not enough reason to go out and buy a USB C battery pack and they'll get by with their existing battery pack until it dies and then buy a new one.

For my usage, I usually start feeling the need to charge around 30% so the real advantage of a USB C rapidcharge is mostly the 1.1A additional charging rate (2.6A vs 1.5A) I get from 30% to 40%, after that the charging rates of 1.8A vs 1.5A is more comparable.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

This is being done outside the USB C spec, which explicitly states what is allowed for legacy. This is fine as long as the power source and sink have a well defined method to figure out what rate they can charge at so the sink doesn't overburden the source. I just wouldn't really call it USB C "compliant" From USB C standpoint, once your cable introduces the 56k pullup resistor, you are in legacy mode and the maximum value that can be advertised is the 1.5A from BC 1.2.

According to USB Type-C Specification Release 1.2

USB 2.0 specifies up to 500mA

USB 3.1 specifies up to 900mA

USB BC 1.2 specifies up to 1.5A

What I can tell you is that my non-USB C battery pack that supports 2.1A on one port and 2.4A on the other port charges the N5X at 1.5A using a USB A to USB C cable. It doesn't do the full charging capability of the port, but it is much better than a USB port on a computer.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Well I did a little 1 hour test with my Anker battery bank that does 2.4A with a Type A to C cable and it went from 5% to 49%. For comparison, the wall charger can get 10% to 90% in the same time. Just saying.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Crossfire9:
The difference between 1.5 and up to 3 is double - thats a significant difference. Also, the phone correctly displays "Rapid Charging" when used with a 5V/3A charger. I don't have a 5x, only a 6P, so I can't comment on why you are only getting 2.5, but at a low battery, you have the potential for up to 3A. Note that Amperage or similar apps are not super accurate, sadly there isn't yet a USB-C power meter on the market to measure how inaccurate it may be - but based on testing type A, I don't consider Amperage an accurate method of measurement.

I think we may have to agree to disagree - I feel this is a very important distinction and when most people are asking for quick charging, I am in the belief they mean the "fastest safe method of charging", which for a new nexus or Type-C device, is a C-C device capable of 3A over 5V.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] sfhub:
And my comments are not for a 6p since we are posting on a 5x forum.

Batteries commonly are not charged at full possible rate for the whole spectrum of battery percentage level. This is to preserve the longevity of the battery and reduce heat. Almost all charging does this, from mobile phones to giant batteries in Tesla.

Though I don't have a 6p I would seriously doubt it is charging at full rate through the whole spectrum. On 5x it even drops off to around 500mA for the last 10%.

I don't think there is any need to disagree. You are just focusing on one section of the charging spectrum and I'm looking at the entire spectrum.

Clearly there is an advantage for a USB C to USB C charging in the 0 - 40% range. If someone commonly lets their phone drain to very low that is the way to go. If you are commonly just charging starting at around 30-40% the advantage is much less ON THE 5X.

As to your example of 3A charger being twice 1.5A, if I connect a 15A charger to the 5x that doesn't mean it will charge the 5x 10 times faster than 1.5A. The sink device determines what rate it wants to pull power at, subject to what it thinks the limitations of the power source is.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] herBosaurus:
I use https://www.amazon.ca/Anker-Generation-High-Capacity-Fast-Charging-Techonology/dp/B00BQ5KHJW along with their USB C-A cable, and it supports rapid charging!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Crossfire9:
I'm not arguing how the technology works - I'm just disagreeing with your definition of quick charging :angel:

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

This again, does not support Nexus "rapid charging" by definition of 5V/3A
[Nexus 5X Accessories] sfhub:
That's actually not the definition according to the Android UI.

For 5x I've seen it say rapid charging around 1.6A.

For 6p, people have said the threshold is lower like 1.1A.

This is using USB A to USB C cable.

So what is "by definition" when there are no details provided by Google? What their UI says, what amps the phone decides to pull, or your reading of the charger label.

What if the same charger does 3A on 6p but only 2.6A on 5x at 0% battery? Is the 5x no longer rapid charging "by definition" because it is not 3A?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] herBosaurus:
When I use it with the Anker C-A cable, it says rapid charging on my phone, that's all that matters.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
So if starting at 5% it gets to only 50% in one hour versus 90% in an hour on a true type C fast charging connection, that doesn't matter?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] cmplaya:
apparently not
[Nexus 5X Accessories] herBosaurus:
Again, it says rapid charging. Not sure what you didn't understand in my original post.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] drewski_1:
I think he's saying "the proof is in the pudding"

It doesn't matter if the screen says "rapid charging" if the phone is not drawing significant power and actually charging rapidly . . .
[Nexus 5X Accessories] jophil2412:
Take a look at the Xiaomi Powerbank Pro which has a USB Type C port with 10.000 mah and rapid charging support. Im very happy with mine :)
[Nexus 5X Accessories] sfhub:
Just charged 2 5x units starting at 48% side-by-side, same software, same OS.

Recording was at 10min intervals so I used the most recent full 10min marker.

Just so we are clear you WILL see faster charging from 0% to about 40% on the original AC adapter (around 2.6A vs 1.6A or roughly 63% faster)

From 40% to 100% you will see much less difference.

Both USB A and USB C show "Charging rapidly" in Android UI.

This is on n5x. n6p has different charging profile and different power module.

Orig AC Adapter (USB C -> USB C)
1:20 51%->100% (49% difference)
0:40 51%->91% (40% difference)

11000mAh Power Bar (USB A -> USB C)
1:20 55%->100% (45% difference)
0:40 55%->92% (37% difference)
[Nexus 5X Accessories] herBosaurus:
What he's saying is irrelevant when it's stating rapid charging. I'm sure the OS wouldn't just display that unless it was meeting the requirements to display that.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
How is it not relevant if the amount of charge you're getting isn't the same? It displays "rapidly charging" whether it's 1.6A or 2.6A. I don't get how you don't see a 40% charge difference as relevant. It's pretty significant.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] zandadoum:
heya. i've got 3 questions, hope some1 could help.

i recently upgraded my p3300 to WM6 (official HTC rom) and as i was at it, started to wonder about a few things.

1) in tomtom, when configuring the GPS, i can change the baudspeed (actually at 4800). if i increase that, would a) the GPS navigation while driving be smoother, b) i get a faster satelite fix and most important: c) would the battery last less or same?

2) about the battery... i use very few apps and most of the times i make sure they are 100% closed. i use the calendar, notes and few phonecalls per day. sometimes i turn on tomtom for a few minutes to find a street when walking... but i think the battery life is very short (an average of 1% per hour in standby, more battery loss when using the pda, making calls, etc)

is there any tweaks, programs or whatsoever to see what exactly is consuming XYZ of my battery? and improve it's life?

3) after upgrading to WM6, whenever i start tomtom, i get that logo-splash screen (didnt get that before) is there a way to remove it?

i have many more doubts, but i think i'll leave em for when i solved this things. thx for answer.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] varvocel:
1) I didn't noticed differences neither in fix time nor in navigation smoothness.

2) I doubt that it is possible to measure power used by certain application directly. I had problem with power drain and resolved it by switching applications off and on (S2U was guilty), but it seems to me that my Artemis use more power after upgrade to WM6 to.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] zandadoum:
any1 got any more comments? which is the best way to track your battery life and improve it? any program around to help on this task?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] varvocel:
If you want to compare your device power consumption to my Artemis I'll give you some measurements (not very accurate actually):

When I tested my device while playing 320x240 divx movie with TCPMP, fullscreen, brightness set to max, no audio - battery operated about 5,5 - 6 hours before PDA powered off automatically.

During 8 hours in stand-by (I didn't used PDA at all) it was about 5-8% battery drained, but when I switched Pocket Plus indicators (memory, battery, SD free space) off - after 8 hours of stand-by there was 100% battery (full).

Hope this will help you. If you do your own measures let us know.

Good Sunday :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] zandadoum:
ok, as far as i have seen, there is no application that tells your how much battery each application you run, uses. i guess thats normal.

but, is there something like the windows taskmanager, telling you how much CPU and MEMORY each application that runs in the background uses? i think if there is one, that would give a good start on my investigations.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] varvocel:
You could try BatteryStatus
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] zandadoum:
i'll try it, however i've read somewhere that this program itself is a battery-drainer already?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] varvocel:
With BS I had 100% battery after 8 hours standby and I didn't noticed more power consumption while normal use (some phone calls, PIM, games, Internet), but you must try to know how it works on your device. Try it and then write about your findings.
