[Xperia Z3 General] The Android Robot:
I know this thread is basically dead but I figured I'd poke it with a stick a few times and give my two cents. :p

First of all, the reason I chose Sony. I peviously owned Galaxy S4 and at some point (Android 4.2.2?) they implemented a security software called KNOX. It lets you create encrypted partitions for business stuff. Soon after, users started reporting that any unofficial changes result in a "0x01" flag showing in the download mode. Turns out, the device has a physical e-fuse which is burned and can not be reverted (except with a motherboard change). It was mainly for the customer services to be able to tell if the phone had been tampered with. But here's the catch - it was also triggered when installing official Samsung firmware using ODIN (basically FlashTool or Emma for Samsung). And downgrading firmware to pre-KNOX resulted in a special lock - the inability to upgrade again.

XDA members, such as Chainfire and others, have not managed to crack the software after several years, despite the bounty of thousands of dollars. I didn't think much of it, and rooted. Months after that my phone stopped recognizing the SIM card. And since I had "0x01" I had no warranty. So it went to customer service many times, I paid for the SIM reader change, and still nothing. Even custom ROMs didn't help.

So, I had a phone with no SIM support, and no faith in Samsung. I found out that Sony "encourages Android development" - bootloader unlocking and so on. Soon after I bought a Z3, and being a power user, I wanted to root. And then I found out about the DRM. The more I researched, the more livid I got. Finally I managed to dig up a method of rooting without bootloader unlock. After every small update Sony issued, I had to go through hours of researching and developing a new cusom update for my device. After some time I just decided to go with a (back then unreliable) DRM function restoring flashable zip.When I heard there will be no Nougat for Z3, I was quite mad. :mad: I looked into some AOSP's. NONE of them were working correctly. So I settled with a Z3 on unlocked BL with some DRMs working. The device has hiccups but is usable. :rolleyes: I am disappointed in Sony and I am disappointed in Samsung. Never buying their phones again.

But now that [MENTION=6979267]nailyk[/MENTION] is developing LineageOS for Shinano devices, we have new hope! :victory:
[Xperia Z3 General] nailyk:
Lots of OEM are doing this stuffs to protect their intellectuals rights with DRMs. AFAIK oneplus allow bootloaders unlock.

Just for fun, the TA partition of sony contain so much things... It is crazy! BTW I think we have fuse too ;)

idk where you live but in Europe there is a law which basically said: hardware and software are separated and OEM need to fix hardware, except if they can prove this is user fault.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maritimesbob:
Not had this before,

I just switched to 5.1 GPE via the conversion option.

Everything went smoothly, device works well. However now I cannot get the phone connected through adb. It says "device offline".

I have tried killing the adb server and restarting it, made sure adb debugging is on. Restarted device, laptop, tried removing and reinstalling drivers. Tried plugging into a different usb port.

As always, when I run an adb command it shows the device as offline.

I cannot get it to flash up the RSA when connecting either which I think may be the problem.

Anyone had this?

Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] gloege:
I was looking at the official metro pcs website last week and saw they were out online , but in store. Then i checked wal mart as they have the card cheaper and there out of stock too. I opted in for email notifications from wal mart when it will be in. Now the metro pcs website says in store and does not offer to say out of stock online. Do not make me have to drive 2 hrs to get a higher priced sim card metro.

Any clue to if they will get any more in online at the metro pcs site or wal mart?

I Don't Know The Developer's Name As He Is A Chinese Or Japanese..So I Don't The Name..
[XDA Assist] Aesteras:
Hi,

I would like to make my phone's screen light up periodically when it's locked and I receive notifications.

My phone does not have a pulse notification LED and it does not have any other means of showing persistent alerts for notifications when the screen is locked.

I have sen many apps that replace the default lock screen and generally require a lot of permissions, change the lock screen design, wallpaper, unlocking method and mess up / complicate things unnecessarily in general.

What I had in mind is a very simple concept but I don't know if it exists or if it is possible, because it may consume too much battery or maybe Android just does not allow it.

I would like my regular lock screen (which already shows that I have notifications, by the way) to light up for ~1 second every ~1 minute when I have notifications. Ideally that would be customizable somewhere.

To save battery, if the front camera detects no light (i.e: the phone is in the pocket or turned down) then it would not light up the screen, assuming the camera does not consume more battery than this would.

Could someone help me find the closest thing to something like that?

Thanks.

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital DJ:
So I have a DT2 and I usually keep a Tech 21 case on it. I take it off every now and then, and when I do remove the case, I feel like the phone operates better? Like it just seems smoother for some reason. I know that doesn't sound logical, but does anyone else experience this?

Please don't laugh at me...
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodrigo196:
Maybe the phone is overheating in case them the cpu lower the frequency. It's the only logical thing I think to explain that.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital DJ:
I was kind of thinking the same thing. It doesn't feel hot, but all I know is when the phone is not in the case, it's BLAZING fast!

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savahu:
But watch out that you don't perforate the phone itself ;)
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
I would remove phone from the case first :D

But I'm not joking about perforation. I have a case with small hole for back microphone (check photo). Few similar or smaller can be made to cool down SoC. Even on the phone back but I will try with case first.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Naniie94:
I bought my M8 from a guy a year ago and it wouldn't receive any data(only worked on wifi), so i took it to Sprint and the guy said it was because the phone was rooted (i see a prompt for #SuperSU and the guy i got it from was recently returning home from asia somewhere where he used the phone) he couldn't touch it. found another sprint who took it overnight and wahlah, it was fixed, but he didnt tell me what he did to fix it because the phone is still rooted, or atleast still has the prompts telling me the SU bianary needs to be upgraded

i broke the phones charging port a while back, and switch to iphone and now am switching back to m8 now that i fixed it but im on tmobile now, and cant take it back to sprint to have the guy refix it.

i put the working tmobile SiM into the port and the phone still says Sprint as my service provider but also has the error message 'invalid sim card 4G services are unavailable' but wont let me click on the error. i took it to tmobile and they couldn't do anything with it because the 'access point names' field is greyed out and wont let you click on it

Does anyone know what sprint may have done to get around that or what is causing the SIM not to be recognized. The guy i got it from originally had it on TMobile, til i switched it back to sprint, so it is an unlocked phone, it just has something deeper going on w the point names i guess?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sonnu0100:
Post ur getvar all.. s-off or s-on. If phone is still rooted then try the SHORTCUT MASTER and search for apn settings and edit it ... the apn settings are greyd out as the phone is locked to sprint (showing invalid sim) post hboot screenshot .
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrlease:
:eek: My device id is HTC-TyTn

OnCourse Navigator has my id, as identified by their software, as starting with 197X9...QK (37 numbers and letters)

Before I flashed to Schaps 3.54 it was TY79P...KG (37 numbers and letters)

I have the same "device id" HTC-Tytn from settings, about, device id.

Because their (OnCourse Navigator) device id is now different, it will not take my activation code.

Any suggestions, besides contacting OnCourse Navigator?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] RexEscape:
What happens if you change it in the Windows "Device Information"? Try..

1. Start

2. Settings

3. Systems tab

4. About icon

5. Device ID tab

Change it there to whatever you had that OnCourse Navigator knew your device before the flash. Hope that helps, however it will still say "HTC TyTN" in the "About" tab right when you enter the Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool.

Rex
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrlease:
No matter what I put there, it has no effect on what OnCourse Navigator returns as my 'device id'. It doesn't change.

Why would a ROM flash change some kind of internal device id?

I am trying to flash the kernal for 5.1.1 after a restore to stock and get my wifi going again. I placed the kernal zip in the adb folder

where I have the adb and fastboot exe files. I opened the command prompt in that folder after I unziped the kernal to get the img.

I can fastboot reboot bootloader, and fastboot devices, which shows the s.n for the phone. When I used the, fastboot flash boot v4tk-kernel-uber-alias.img, command I get an "unable to load"? Whats going on and how do I fix this. Same thing happened when I tried to flash non-hlos.bin. Help please....I am using windows 10.

Flashing boot and modem are pretty straight forward. Not sure what your issue is.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMeeseeks:
The only things I can think of that would cause that would be either the file is not in that directory or it's not spelled correctly. For the modem are you typing non-hlos or NON-HLOS? It should be all caps. As for the boot image, try renaming it. That's about all I can think of.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ubelsteiner:
Not sure why, but it seems like every other time I turn my tablets screen on it wants my password to be typed in rather than fingerprint because of security policy. I never had this issue in 5.1.1

Anyone else noticing this or know of a way to fix?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papashex:
It's set up to request pin after each reboot or 24 hours of inactivity. Do either of these apply to your situation?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ubelsteiner:
It definitely does it each reboot. I never really go >24hours without touching it, but I'm sure it would ask for it then too. It asks for password after much less time than 24 hours to me, also seems to do it when I change locations (i.e. when I get home from work). It's become so frequent and annoying that I've set a basic, easily-hacked PIN rather than the lengthy, complex password I was using on 5.1.1. Also, even though I've set my car stereo as a smartlock trusted device, it frequently asks me for the PIN whenever I get in my car and start driving (I use tab for music/nav).

The fingerprint sensor on this tablet has never been anywhere near as good as on my nexus phone, often taking 2-3 tries for it to read it, but now that it won't even accept my print for unlocking the device 1/2 the time it's able to read it, it's to the point where I just dont even bother and just skip it and go to PIN entry instead
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papashex:
DAMN. Mine was working fine until I read your post. Now fingerprint recognition has gone wonky. Trying full wipe / reset to see if I can clear things up (maybe app / setting issue).

Install an app called "Miracast Shortcut", then run the app in tasker.

This app is nothing more than a shortcut to open the system miracast menu. When the menu opens, it'll automatically start connecting. Well, I tested this on my Samsung device, I don't guarantee it will fulfill your needs for non-Samsung devices.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Playa4Life352:
Ok so I upgraded to Marshmallow, CF-Auto-Root worked fine on the device, then I downgraded, without doing the full unroot. :mad:

So once I was back on 5.1.1, SuperSU was saying that it was missing the binary, so I did CF-Auto-Root again, but the phone would reboot whenever adb shell tried gaining SU permission. So I tried full unroot, and it said uninstallation failed. So i tried upgrading to Marshmallow again, and then that's when the device started to reboot every minute.

I tried repartitioning and nand erase all through Odin, without any success. My goal is to be on stock 5.1.1, can somebody PLEASE help me figure this out?? Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Playa4Life352:
The solution was to let the phone constantly reboot and then die overnight. I tried letting it die to 0% then charging it 10 minutes late, but that didn't work.

You have to let the phone die overnight, then it'll magically work the next day.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] droseofc:
You have to let it die in download mode or after it dies in regular mode boot to download mode until it wont boot anymore and then it will work. Some kind of reserve battery to boot into download mode after it dies i think. Ive had to do this twice, and can positively say it works. Dont need to flash stock rom or anything, just completely die be n download mode or confirm by booting into it until it cant anymore. Then charge for a little bit, reboot, and should be good. If not retry. Dont charge too much in case u gta try again.
