Ok,I hope you have usb debugging enabled in developer options? Are you rooted? If so how did you root it?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rose10:
Hi,

I don't remember if this function is enable, and it's not rooted (I think) :(
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
What Google app did you delete? You pretty much have to be rooted to do any serious damage. Anyway, Google 15 second adb xda and install that. You have a Windows pc, right?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carm01:
Maybe try a factory reset, if indeed the device is NOT rooted or has the bootloader unlocked. I know his will wipe the data, however it is a choice if all else should fail.

I did this a long time ago disabling the google launcher and the phone crashes, and the only way i got it fixed was to just do a dirty flash of the rom. That was on an HTC s-ff and rooted through.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rose10:
I deleted the "google app" as it sounds.

I have already adb fastboot installed :) (PC)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rose10:
Thanks, but i don't want to lose the data :(...that's way i don't want to perform factory reset
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Ok, and you have a usb cable from the pc to your device? Google nexus factory image. When you get to the site, at the upper left choose the ota. Then go down to the 5x and download the latest ota. Note what directory it downloads to. Then open that directory and boot your device into the bootloader and then go to recovery. Connect your usb cable. In the directory where the ota is downloaded go to an open area and shift + right click. It should open a dialog box where you can open a command window. In recovery on your device you should see where you can load a file with adb. Then in the command window on the pc type. adb sideload ota.zip. Where ota.zip is the full name of the file you downloaded.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rose10:
Before i continue to perform these steps - as you say,

I just want to make sure:

1. Is all the data on the phone will remain ? photo, whatsapp, apn, apps etc... ?

2. What does the ota.zip file do ?

Thanks again
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
It will not delete anything on the phone. The ota is an "over the air" update. It's the same thing that updates your system when Google pushes an update to your phone. It should replace the file you deleted.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rose10:
Ok,

1. My phone is connected to my pc

2. I entered to Recovery mode

3. I changed the file to OTA.zip

Now to perform:

adb sideload ota.zip ?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Yep
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rose10:
Done installing the ota.

Next step ?

Reboot or clear cache

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ryankubb:
Hey, I'm trying to change the functionality of the hardware keys. I have seen different solutions, I tried with some apps and I have tried editing Genaric.kl.

I changed:

key 139 MENU

to

key 139 MENU VIRTUAL

But it didn't solve my problem. Right now the buttons are "Back - menu - recent apps" I come from Oxygen OS version 1 on my 1+1 and on that version I was able to change short hold function on the button in the settings but I can't seem to do that on the latest version of Oxygen OS. So I have swapped places with "Back" and "Recent apps" so my current order is "Recent apps - menu - back" I want the recent apps to become a menu button instead like it was on 1+1. I've also read the "MENU" actually is APP_SWITCH which is not stated in Genaric.kl.

Does anyone have a detailed solution for this?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] blackalice:
The menu button doesn't really exist any more. It's been phased out for ages.

[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stelio_kontos:
Hi everyone,

Recently I rebooted my phone and noticed that it took extremely long to boot. As soon as it was powered on I got a pop-up saying there's an internal system error. At this point I have no hope of fixing it, because all my app data is already gone (for example: whatsapp needs to be set up again, game data lost, etc.) But I do wonder what it means, and if there's a way to prevent it. I also made a logcat, but I'm not sure if it's the correct type (it's really long). Here's a screenshot of the error message: https://imgur.com/zd6kM3z

[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stelio_kontos:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guids:
I am exploring options for my next phone. What will be your future pick?

I was looking forward to a new sony device, but I am not blown away with the xperia x. But I guess it is still top of my list.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
Probably a Z5 compact. The Z5 is cheaper but has the same spec as the X.

Sony have the market on small top spec phones. I like a small phone in my hand, not some massive phablet.

Plus it's waterproof and has all the features. Top audio, noise reduction technologies built in. IPS screen, there aren't any other manufacturers that come close.

But it won't be for another year, hopefully by then there will be some development on it and things like rooting will be easy.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guids:
Yeah unfortunately support on xda is virtually non existent for the z5 (compact). And I do not think it will surge eventually, then it would have happened already. It is also the main reason why I didn't switch earlier. But yeah.. Xda support is really important for me since I like to tweak certain aspects
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poobucket:
I am going with the Huawei P9 Plus. It will be a step up from the z3c in a few areas. First off, the P9 has 4gb of ram, so multitasking is easier, and the chipset is a solid foundation as well. The z3c has a higher megapixel camera 20mp vs the 12mp P9 Plus. The P9 Plus is almost an inch bigger in size 4.6 vs 5.5 but I still think that it does not qualify as ( as Didgesteve called it ) a phablet.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SymbianRefugee:
Nokia's (the Finnish company) non compete clause expires next month, so in 8 days I believe, I'm waiting to see what they bring to market - I bet it'll be good - they've had years to prepare.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sz1a:
A Galaxy Note 6/7 or a Nexus phone. My biggest priorities are vanilla, lag free, good battery and waterproof. If google makes a nice Nexus that's waterproof and has good battery, lag and vanilla are given. For the Note, I'm not so sure about the UI. But my Z3C has become laggy as of late, even with a factory reset. Constantly at 1.6-1.9 gb memory usage.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istux:
Xiaomi Mi 5 is cheap and really rocks!!! :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Revontheus:
Definitely not Z5 Compact, I'd rather wait for the Xperia X to have a compact version than buy a phone with barely any support from the community and not to mention Snapdragon 810 Problems
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guids:
I ways also looking forward to this. But that video showing that it breaks easily scared me off. The camera is also underwhelming.

I like specs from oneplus 3, but it is just too damn big.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfsksie:
Much as i like the z3c for it's size and specs, my next phone will most likely be a nexus.

While Sony's firmware isn't bad i do miss the variety of 3rd party, AOSP based roms, something that a nexus won't lack thanks to the open bootloader and abundance of developers.

For now, until we know anything about the next Nexus devices, i just hope the PA team will manage to resolve some of the more pressing bugs, a daily-driver aosp MM rom might just keep me around for a bit longer.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serajr:
Definitely not a Xperia!!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deniz2694:
i switched from z3 compact to iphone SE :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarajaVLC:
I went from a HTC Desire to a HTC Sensation, then a Xperia ZR and I have enjoyed my Z3 Compact since October, 2014. I wanted a new Xperia for the summer of 2016, something like the Z6 Compact but the new Xperia X series is not what I wanted.

The only Xperia X I wanted is the X Performance but it has failed to pique my interest. Battery tests look underwhelming compared to the Z3C, the camera isn't up to the other flagships and the price is too high for a smartphone that wont' be released in Europe until July.

So I have jumped ship and went to buy an S7 Edge that features great battery, screen, camera, waterproofing and Material themes so TouchWiz isn't annoying. Maybe the screen is too big at 5.5", but the AMOLED readability in summer is top-notch and the pictures and videos taken are miles better than any other phone camera I tried.

The S7 Edge was 570 euro including the Samsung VR glasses (thanks to Vodafone). The Xperia X Performance hasn't been released yet, but I expect it to cost around 630-650 euro.

Sony has failed me first choosing the SD 810 for the Z5 line and now leaving the Z series aside (Z6 Compact, Z6 and Z6 Premium was what I wanted).

I may return to Sony when they offer something that fills the void of the Z series, not right now with overpriced phones that are released too late.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zwulf:
I get my Nexus 5X tomorrow! YAY! Not the newest device, but almost anything seems to be better to me than any Xperia. I really like the Nexus line. If I hadn't been that misinformed by Sony about being open blabla I would have bought a Nexus instead of an Xperia. Actually using a Z3C, going to sell it as soon as I was finally able to recover DRM with Windows 10 or Linux (Arch). So my Nexus 5X will cost me about 100 Euro. Nice price for a quite decent upgrade of camera and processor (Snapdragon 801 --> Snapdragon 808) and for a device I can fully customize and which got amazing support in FOSS community / XDA.

I think smartphones today are really fast (more than 200 (!!) times faster than my first PC., an Intel 80386. Imagine 200 PCs in your room, haha) and it's not top priority for me to have the fastest device in the whole universe. What counts for me is that the device is fast enough to be ready for daily usage, that I can modify my device to my needs without losing any feature (camera quality, sound quality), not the needs a company wants me to have... and to have a good camera (battery of the Nexus 5X is not the best but acceptable). At first I was quite satisfied with my Z3C but that slowly turned into frustration and anger. It took months to root this unholy device without losing DRM forever (thank God for the dev that finally got it!). Afterwards it was a pain in the ass to do such simple things like rooting it, install recovery (compared to my S3 and Nexus 7; atm trying to recover my DRM for selling this crappy device but ADB won't call SuperSU - wtf?!)... then saw how "good" the open-source output of the so-called developer-friendly company was and I was massively disappointed, to say it in very kind words. Still there is no fully working (--> fisheye) AOSP for Z3 series. Lollipop got fisheye, CM13 for MM is not available yet (LOL?! The only manufacturer left... what a shame) because Sony released first MM working stuff (RIL, camera) in May 2016 afaik) - more than half a year after release of MM. That's what I call developer-friendly... lol. I never gonna buy any Xperia anymore, never in a million years, that's for sure, and try to avoid buying anything made by Sony in general.

Now I'm very glad to get a Nexus (I'm still very satisfied with my Nexus 7 2013 already) because the needs of the user and customizability are top priority and it has a very good cam, which won't produce (reverse) fisheye-pictures when unlocked. I won't need to use stock ROM for this device to be fully working, nor a locked BL and a thousand hacks for stock to be comfortable with (still no dark settings for MM stock, only eye-killing whiteness). Feels like not being in bonds any more... :)

My brother and my sister-in-law both got the same device (Z3C stock, not rooted) and are very satisfied (for whatever reason... camera on stock with DRM is even worse than on my old Galaxy S3)... so, well. For everyone who still likes Xperia, I wish you the best with that, honestly. :)

Good riddance, Sony...

I'm looking for the best smartphone that does not tells itself that the system was been tampered if i root and modify something (Like KNOX or HTC do tell it), because if i want to bring my warranty back, i simply re-flash the firmware and it become unrooted.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zreon:
No idea. I will be sticking with my Z3c for the foreseeable future.

I recently purchased a Galaxy s6 and was missing my Z3c within a few days. I have also recently used the LG G4 and Nexus 5x. All of these feel like a step down. The Z3c with the MM Slim rom is so fast and fluid and the battery life is ridiculous. The galaxy S6 could kill itself in 12 hours with almost no interaction. Also, it is hard to go back to a phone as large as those. Once you put a case on them, you may as well be using a tablet.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cirra92:
I would go for OnePlus 3 right now, but it's huge, i just don't get the hype for 5.5" screen, that requires your device body to have more than 15cm in size. All of a sudden 5" was not enough so they all had to go for more, not to mention big bezels on top and bottom of the screen even on those 5-5.2" devices.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okij:
It's a pitty to read this from you!

I'm still happy with my Z3c and hoping that Xperia Xposed [MM] from you could become reality. I substituted most of it's functions by using GravityBox, but Xperia Xposed [LP] was so much better looking and integrated into the Xperia system.

And in the end, back to the phone discussion, I'm not sure if other manufacturers do so much better than Sony does, even if I would have liked the continuation of the Z line.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zwulf:
Got my Nexus 5X today. Unlocking + rooting + flashing a Custom ROM (AICP) didn't take even 5 minutes. Picture quality is so much better than on the Z3C. Would never go back and am very satisfied. With Jolla Kernel battery life is about the same. Great! :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
Do you know who makes the camera sensor on your new phone?

Sony.

All the likes of Motorola/Samsung/LG/HTC do is push the colour and saturation up on the pictures, to you it looks like a more colourful picture because it's on a small phone screen. But once they are put onto a large calibrated monitor they start to look a bit odd.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfsksie:
[MENTION=4354390]Didgesteve[/MENTION], it doesn't actually matter who makes the sensor so long as its decent (and most recent ones are), the software implementation is very important and unfortunately, in sony smartphones it just isn't as good.

As a result I only use the camera at work, when image quality isn't the top priority..

[MENTION=5386342]Zwulf[/MENTION], your experience is exactly why my next phone will likely be a nexus as well.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zwulf:
I know, but the result is what counts. On their own devices they just don't get it right. It's not about colors and saturation, that's ok, but sharpness, detail, graininess. On the Z3C pics were very washed, when zooming in there were many artifacts and it lacked sharpness and detail. When I get it back from repair (service of Sony is very good), I will take some pictures with both devices so you could see yourself. Implementation on the Z3C is one of the worst I've seen yet (even with DRM), although the camera hardware is very good. It's not the small screen as I like to watch my pics on my full HD screen in my living room. My fiance got a Note 4, which makes the most stunning pictures I've ever seen on a mobile device. Guess what camera... I don't understand, too why the camera is worse on their own devices, but that's just how it is.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miguelAr52:
hi.

i have a z3c practically unused, with concept rom, it has the ideal size for a phone, allways think about flash it with a custom rom.

how works the camera to you, with the slim rom?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cirra92:
I would agree with everything you said if I had a 5X, but about battery life... Not really :D

I'm getting 7+ hours of SOT on every single charge, and 30+ hours of total time on MM, which went even more on LP (at least for me) :D

I would go for 5X, had they put a bigger battery in it, so I'll still wait to see what will come out (with good dev support ofcourse).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hansoliv:
Oukitel k6000 pro and it's 10day battery :)

(z3 compact battery life is addicting :))
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
For the best experience regarding the Camera I'm using SLIM ROM (locked BL so no DRM loss). The advantage of this is that it has the Xperia X frameworks which offer a better color processing. Apart from this I edited the media_profiles.xml file for less compression and higher bitrate on videos/pictures. In the end I calibrated my phone display with KCal and use ProCapture which is a very good piece of software. Sadly, not maintained anymore.

I'm pretty confident to say pictures never looked so good.

But back to topic, I was taking into consideration a S7 or a Nexus 5X. Sadly, I'm a sucker for compact phones, I don't really enjoy the bigger ones (before the Z3C I had a Samsung S2 Plus which was 4.3 inch).

It boot ok, wifi, radio, nfc and read simcard without any problem, but i only can make "emergency calls" because it dont connect with my operator network, then i went to settings/info and see that the baseband status is "unknown".

I've been looking for info severals days without any success and i dont know what should be my next step, i found some repos and commits but anyone for my device i try to build the rom with a "similar" vendor files from another device (flamingo) but the baseband still dont work (all the other stuffs works without problems but still "unknown baseband"). So i dont know which is my way and make this post looking for help.
