Huh

Hi

I am thinking of getting the 7500, it does everything I want & I want the largest memoery card I can get. This one shown is Micro SD not Mini SD - am I being a complete numpty, I thought the 7500 used the Mini SD & not the Micro ?

Got to get a new device, my XDA Exec screen is in bits ....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Accessories] toyfreak:
The MicroSD cards usually come with 2 adapters (one for Mini-SD and one for SD).
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Accessories] cottinghamm:
Thanks, I'll get an 8Gb one then when my 7500 turns up.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okluzhion:
I unlocked the bootloader (offical version, S-ON) and flashed Dirty Unicorns Marshmallow ROM. The battery life is plain horrible, but I'm not sure if that's because of the ROM or the phone. Now I want to flash it back to stock, mainly because my M8 shut itself off twice yesterday when I used GPS due to overheating (had to hold it near AC in the car so it wouldn't shut down again).

I read a lot of guides, but I'm really confused because HTC complicated it so much (I'm not inexperienced in flashing, had two Sony devices and a Xiaomi). Can anyone help me out?

That's because you are using an old version of TWRP (2.7.x.x) that had a bug that the firmware version wouldn't be listed.

First of all, update to the current TWRP version 3.0. As [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] indicated, the OS number being blank means you used a really old TWRP version, which can cause a lot of issues. Then flash the ROM again (after default wipe in TWRP - data, cache and Dalvik) and see if that helps.

Or try another ROM.

If you still want to return to stock, you can get the TWRP stock backup here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

What you want is 6.12.401.4

Although, standard operating procedure for any ROM flashing would have dictated that you made a nandroid (TWRP backup) of the stock ROM before flashing anything. If you had done so, you could have simply restore that backup to return to the stock ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okluzhion:
Thanks for the help.

Well, I didn't create a nandroid backup of stock ROM since I thought that going back to factory settings was as easy as with Sony or Xiaomi devices. This HTC stuff is way too messed up, and I don't understand why they made it that way. I didn't expect that, tbh.

Edit: just checked, the TWRP version I have is 3.0.2-0.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Your OS/version-main will remain blank until you flash firmware. Just flashing the newer recovery on its own won't do that
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You should never assume anything is the same between Android manufacturers; they each have their own quirks. And you should

always

make a backup before flashing a ROM, root, or other mods.; doesn't matter what the manufacturer.

Returning to stock by flashing a stock TWRP backup is not complicated. Since you've already achieved unlocking the bootloader, flashing custom recovery, and custom ROM; you can certainly handle restoring to stock with a TWRP backup. You basically just download the backup file, unzip the folders, put the folders in the proper place on the phone, then Restore the backup in TWRP. The instructions in the thread I link just break it down into steps, for you convenience. But it all just boils down to getting the backup on the phone (since you didn't make one yourself) and restoring it. I even figured out what version number you needed, and told you. So how much easier do you want it?

Your version also has an RUU (HTC specific restore tool), which will return you to stock after relocking the bootloader. But to be honest, its not that complicated to restore the TWRP backup as already suggested.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okluzhion:
I already restored everything to stock and sold the phone. The battery life was horrible even on stock (mostly below 3h SOT with very light usage).

You say I should always make a nandroid. That's true, but for instance with Sony, even if you soft brick your phone, you just downlpad a ftf file and flash it with Flashtool. Also, another reason why I didn't make a nandroid backup of stock is because I didn't have anything worth backing up - it was pure stock without any of my apps installed since the phone was freshly bought off craigslist.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The point of making a nandroid prior to any mods is to backup the stock ROM, not just your personal data.

Always know how to revert to stock, before you start messing with the phone. And how to do that varies with each device. That's all I'm saying.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] KSH2014:
Has anyone tried taking RAW (*.dng) pictures with Android 5.0+ custom roms and compatible 3rd party camera apps?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] KSH2014:
In case someone looking for an answer for this.

Self-answer: NO

Tried with Unofficial CM12.1 and Camera FV-5.

Result: RAW option is greyed out with unsupported camera notice.

RAW means all image data should be sent from Camera logic to the phone HW but that requires much more bandwidth between camera and phone HW.

Camera has its own circuitry and if its not designed for RAW imaging, it may be hard or impossible to implement this feature in a later software modification.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akashp2011:
I bought two brand new Samsung adaptive fast chargers (USB brick & cable) the other day and my phone will not fast charge and my PC will not recognize it. Every time I connect my note 4 to my pc the error message says "USB device not recognized." I've tried everything. I stalled kies, uninstalled then reinstalled my drivers, even took my phone to a repair shop to put in a new charging port.... I have 2 laptops. One is running windows 10 and the other is running windows 7 and they both give me the same error message. I'm pulling my F*****in hair out!!!!!!!!!

Someone please help!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] douger1957:
You didn't give much in the way of background but I'll do what I can. I'm on Jasmine ROM, which is pretty much stock Marshmallow.

When I plug in my fast charger, nothing I can see says it's fast charging. There's a box in settings>battery to check for fast charging.

As far as the connection to your computer goes: when I plug in and I pull down on the notification bar, there's a tab that for me says "USB Charging." If I touch on that tab, it'll give a list of options, one of which is "File Transfer." Click on that radio button. If you like, you can go into settings>developer options and touch "USB Configuration." Click on the "MTP" radio button and file transfer will be the default mode when you plug in.

If this seems obvious, I'm sorry. I don't know what level of experience you have with your phone or your phone's configuration. It's not a common problem which is why it took some time to get to answer your question.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akashp2011:
I've tried everything I can think of including the tips you provided. I'm on PaulPizz's rom and I didnt have these problems before. Every time I connected my charger, it gave me a notification that it was fast charging, now it doesnt. Now when I connect my device to my pc, my Note 4 doesnt give me any options. Not even MTP or PTP. It's as if i dont even have it connected to my computer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] douger1957:
You may have gotten a bad flash. I don't have experience with PaulPizz's ROM but since I believe it's based on the OEM Marshmallow... you are on that version of the ROM, correct?... I'd suggest you try flashing again. And if not PaulPizz, it's all working good for me on Jasmine.

And if you are using the Marshmallow version of PaulPizz, did you unlock the Marshmallow bootloader? You need to be careful. It's quite confusing because Marshmallow ROMs don't necessarily have to use Marshmallow bootloaders. But if the ROM uses a Marshmallow base, your bootloader must be Marshmallow as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akashp2011:
I'm on his latest version of 5.1.1. It did this before I flashed his newest rom. I flashed it thinking it would fix the issue but it didnt. I put his rom on my SD card after i connected it to my computer by itself with an adapter. I did everything right. Wiped data and cache before flashing. The rom works perfectly. I'm really hoping it's not a hardware issue, but unfortunately that's a possibility. I can't upgrade to MM because I have to use Odin and I can't even use it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] douger1957:
Give hsbadr's Jasmine ROM a shot. I wouldn't worry about going the 4.3 route. Just flash the 4.0 and see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, I'll have to agree that it's a hardware issue. If it does go away, then you can install 4.3 and the fixes.

Backup your current ROM first. Check off all of the boxes. Wipe the Dalvik/cache/system/data, (you didn't mention that you wiped the system) then flash the ROM. If you have anything like pictures or music on your internal storage, move them somewhere safe first. Let us know how it works out for you, and good luck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akashp2011:
Thanks man. I'll give that a shot. And yes I did wipe dalvik, cache, data, and system. Ill flash Jasmine Rom tonight and give you an update.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pereth:
Did you ever have any luck with anything? I have the same issue on my note 4, my usb port is basically useless other than slow charging. I have even replaced the port twice in efforts to fix it, tried different roms, etc. At this point I believe it is hardware, something with the motherboard.

Let me know if you have had any success with anyhting

Fast charge wont work

I too have the same problem. It quit fast charging. I ordered genuine Samsung battery and charge cable. It dont work. Its not the battery or charging device. I finally got it hooked to my pc or recognize it. Fast charge wont work. Its not the batt, charger, or port. Its either VZN software or a hardware issue. I am trying to downgrade it to 6,0 to see if it 6.1 upgrade. Kies wont let me downgrade. I really think it is a bug in Verizon 6.1 upgrade. Any help will be appreciated
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zediiiii:
My phone will fast charge on my two vehicle chargers (at 1.5 amps and 2.1 amps), but refuses to change any faster than 500 mA on two separate fast charger bricks. The same bricks work fine for fast charging other phones, so it's my phone, not the charging hardware. I'm using the same cable for all instances, which leads me to believe that something is wrong with how the phone interprets the "smart charging" signal on the bricks, or that the phone is sending the wrong charging signal.

Does anyone have the issue with bricks but not with chargers without "smart charging" capabilities?

I've had this problem on stock 5.1.1, Jasmine rom 6.0.1, and now CM13. I full wiped everything when reinstalling, so either it's hardware, or an issue propigated through many roms. I've tried a few different kernels too, just to see if that was the problem.

Akashp2011, did you flash both the rom and the kernel for Paul Pizz? I never tried that combination.

I'm changing the battery tomorrow to check that possibility.

[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
My Xperia M2 is dying. When I leave it plugged in the wall charger overnight, it doesn't charge at all, after several time. This is, right now, resulting in a cool plug-unplug effect in the device, and even when the USB cable is disconnected, *the device still thinks it's connected to the power source*.

Another symptom that something was going really bad is that yesterday, my SIM card was being rejected by my device without any apparent reason, unless I rebooted my device, in which case it started working again, just fine. After happening 4 times in a row in a single day, I ejected the SIM card, cleaned it, and place it back. It didn't happen anymore, but could happen again.

Environment:

Almost 2 years old device, with unlocked bootloader. Model D2303, Revision 4,

with XPERIA Z5 STYLE 4.6 installed on it

. Device hadn't been *wiped* since 4 months now.

I personally have NO IDEA if it's related to XPERIA Z5 STYLE or not, and that's the reason why I placed this warning in it's thread.

Now you'll be asking, why creating a thread?

I don't want to mix any development thread with a possibly hardware fault, and I still want to hear your opinions and thoughts about this situation, mostly if it has happened to you at any time. Right now, I'm doing some tests, and if it still happens I'm going to send my device back to Sony Mobile Spain, hoping they can fix it under warranty.

Any ideas of what can be the problem? Please comment them down below.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Charging port or motherboard for a guess. Constantly plugging and un-plugging the USB cable when flashing ect will eventually wear out the connections even fluff in it could effect it. This is the only part of my M2 showing signs of heavy use
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
This exact same thing happens on my aqua! Sometimes it ejects my sd card too,especially when I apply some pressure on the flap that covers it! I dont think it has anything to do with the rom..kernel and blobs (obviously) are stock...
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Yeah, but did you saw the video from the link in OP? It has nothing to do with the Micro-USB, I twisted the cable as much as I could, and only when I turned on the screen on it went back to normal a few seconds, before it went mad, blinking again like if it was a notification (while it was not, ofc).

Also, having the Micro-USB cable disconnected a few minutes, and still showing as if it was charging, I think that's something in the main board or maybe in the battery. Could be the Micro-USB but... I'm not sure.

At first I thought it could be related with the SIM card issue (that's why I posted it lol), but it seems to me now the issue is either on the battery or in the main board.

Now, the thing is, I flashed stock, and the issue hasn't appear, yet. Could this be related to a bad battery callibration?

FML, it started doing it again. The device's going back to Sony. This confirms it's a hardware failure, and might not be related with Xperia Z5 STYLE at all.

Thanks for your answers.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
If its still under warranty send into Sony theyll probably totally refurb it. Mine is two years old and stil under warranty till November according to the support app on mine. Funnily enough in the last two weeks I've suffered from a couple of random screen flickering/flashing moments myself where it just went crazy for a few seconds and the USB port is the only place showing any signs of wear on the device and I've not changed anything system related recently. Approx three or four weeks and hopefully I won't be using it anymore anyway as I get my upgrade.

[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Still, I'd consider using the warranty, repair it, and keep it in case you need it in a future (like me right now, I need another device or I'll be with a dumb phone for weeks :mad:).

Didn't you guys realize the problems are happening 2 years after owning the device? This sounds to me like programmed obsolescence... So let's make Sony pay for it ;)
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Everything has a built in obsolescence nowadays anyway it's the only way to get to to spend more money like you said, It's working fine it's only happened a few times to be honest. Not bothered my M2 cost me absolutely nothing, end of July it'll get chucked back in its box and thrown in the draw for emergencies if I don't get rid. Even going back to stock I think if I get the x as planned.

All right. 1-**********60 the repair order indicates that I have to pass a budget, which does not cover warranty for replacement of a piece of 18 €. You could ask for more information about this? What specific part is?

Luis E	9:23:34 am

Sergio, does not detail pieces exactly changed me as it is an internal mechanical repair

In this case does not fall under warranty because you did not attach the phone purchase invoice; if you send it to invoice the questions.es@support.sonymobile.com to check the phone warranty

9:24:17 am

Luis E	9:27:26 am

Thank you for choosing Sony Xperia. You have a good day! If you need additional information visit our website: http://www.sonymobile.com

So, I actually hope this will end up in just a fright.

Still, they should make it very clear for the users that they need to attach the invoice with the device. In the first mail, and in the webpage, it didn't say anything about that, and since in the MySupport webpage it said I had warranty until 25th of this month, I thought I didn't need to attach anything to prove it.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
So what are you supposed to do say if you have a Xperia device that is in warranty but needs a repair but have no receipt/invoice from purchase, as my M2 was free being on a contract not that it needs looking at so far, bet your feeling better now though knowing that..
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Actually, if you bought the device via a carrier, ie. Vodafone, Sony requests you to send it via your carrier to get it repaired. This "My Support" thing is intended for unlocked phones. But still, it should be extremely clear what's needed and what's not when you're going to send your device to them :)

I hope I hear from them tomorrow, Monday, can't wait to see if they accepted it!
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Hope you get it sorted under warranty, I'll be moving to a new device end of the month all being well. I'm on a contract but my handset is a sim free network unlocked device as that's all my network supply for both payg and contract that's one of the reasons I use this network, never have to worry about locked down Bootloaders.
