[Asus ZenWatch 2] Gadgetguy2005:
Hello all,

many watch faces look amazing on the Zenwatch in regular (full on) mode.

But the watch is 90% or more of the time in ambient mode (I am using Always on for over 2 days of runtime).

And ambient mode is a different story. The default (Asus) watchfaces are typically pixelated in ambient mode and do not look so well. There are other (for example Puije ) ambient faces which look much better.

So it seems it can be done - but Asus is not doing it.

Is there any way to force better looking ambient mode on the Asus watchfaces? Or, is there a collection of watch faces (like Puije faces) which look good (better than stock) in Ambient?

Thank you for any pointers
[Asus ZenWatch 2] dimcus:
There is a very particular reason for Asus to make its watchfaces "pixelated". It is because OLED screen technology is susceptible to burning out eventually. According to https://developer.android.com/design/wear/watchfaces.html#SpecialScreens the followig technique is reccomended to prevent this burning out:
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Gadgetguy2005:
Thank you for explaining. So are the nice(r) looking watchfaces going to burn the OLED out (sooner)? Puije has a "burn in protection" mode - is that a solution (I am using that)? Some Puije ambient mode watchfaces look (much) less pixelated - since I am not using the "Disable anti aliasing in ambient mode" of Puije. Or should I?

I do not really see the relationship between antialiasing and burn in? I thought antialising (or the lack of it) has to do with power consumption. Interestingly, most of the Asus watchfaces have the center of the hands filled in - while the guidelines suggest to have the center empty...
[Asus ZenWatch 2] dimcus:
I'm not using the Puije watchface myself, so I could not be sure what this means exactly. I could only guess that with antialiasing you have larger adjacent regions of pixels highlighted. So the image shifting will affect only pixels located on the borders of these regions, while most of them will be highlighted all the time.

I know I can look desperate, but this problem is driving me crazy.

My battery was good (but not perfect) in Android 6.0, but this latest update .224 is horrible! I have the same apps and the same use and with a maximum of 3 hours SoT! In one hour of normal use lose almost 10%!

Some people are having the same problem: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...ues-32-2-A-0-224/td-p/1137290/highlight/false

I did not clean install of 6.0 to 6.0.1. I just did clean install of 5.1 to 6.0.

There are people who did clean install and are having the same problem.

Someone here is going through the same problem?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theprince1991:
Hey, I had the exact same problem as you (UK Generic) and I did a clean install as well. I had to do a factory reset after installing and it took about 2 days for the battery drainage to settle down. Yesterday I got about 4 hours of SOT. I usually get around 2.5 days of battery which is similar to the previous firmware.

Try a factory reset.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phazonclash:
To be honest, I'm getting the best battery life I ever had out of that smallish 2,900mAh battery + power-hungry Snapdragon 810, since .224

I still don't get the battery life I had out of my OnePlus One (that thing was a beast), but it's better. I get home after work with between 25% and 35% battery left now. With Lollipop and Marshmallow 6.0, pre 224, it would usually be between 15~20% (25% on good days), same usage pattern.

The Z5 is still not a very good phone in the battery life department, and probably neve will be, but it's better now.

One important thing though: I clean-installed .224
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
The funny thing is rebooted the device and now improved! Yesterday I got 4 SoT easy! I believe to be some kind of bug that was draining my battery! But anyway I will do a clean install!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricodredd:
Did you seriously post on a technology forum WITHOUT turning it off and on again first?!?!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
I turned off once and giving reboot again, but had not resolved! The system android was 9% and then increased to 14% of battery usage. Is now 6%, ie normal.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FYLin21:
I got 4 hours 40 minutes of SOT today, from 100 to 2%. This was mainly browsing and some videos over the span of 10 hours. If I'm lucky I can get 12 hours overall but with only 2-3h screen on time, as I don't use the phone as often.

I noticed something odd today - Wifi is now showing at he top of my usage details and it shows an entire span of Wifi usage (from 19 days ago, I think that is when the phone was updated). It has no impact on the battery life but it's just odd that "screen" doesnt show on the top anymore. I rebooted and the same thing occurs.

The battery usage screen really sucks now - you can't even see if the phone is "awake" or when there was wifi/mobile signal etc.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyTekk:
I got over 7hours with WiFi connected, Opera browser to read wattpad and my phone still had 27%. I've just unplugged my phone 2 hours ago and used it to surfing GG+ and Facebook, 20% for 2hour and 10mins usage. So it's good or bad? This result is a little better than my old Z2.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockmaster:
Same thing here. I usually have up plug in mid of the day just to make sure i have enough juice to survive the night. Around 3 hrs SOT only. Even with the auto sync off and wifi scanning off. Location service is off too. I don't see why the standard stamina mode has been removed :( that usually prolongs battery. I have doze installed for mobile data minimized but still around 3hrs or so
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensination:
I get the same WiFi bug and it's currently showing 18 days! Did you clean install the update? OTA or via Xperia Companion?

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
Which option do you see it?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolo143:
With normal use, (browsing, social networks, videos, etc) I lose about 10% -15% per hour which I think is normal because I use it a lot. so it may last about 6 - 8 hours until it reaches 20% and I charge it immediately, I only drained the battery from 100% to 0% one time. Because I read somewhere full drains are not good for battery. Anyway if I play games, for example Need for Speed No Limits, I lose about 20% in an hour or so. so if I keep playing it will last only 4 hours aprox. maybe less. But there had been days where I almost don't use the phone and it lasts all day. So I really can't complain. But it certainly doesn't lasts 2 days as Sony said
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FYLin21:
After charging to 100%, it's gone.

I updated with OTA this time around, and not a clean install.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensination:
I upgraded via Xperia Companion from 164 not the clean install.

Got the new update promise to fix batt, did you guys update?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utku5959:
Without any changes on usage type (I cannot say its regular on everyday, but I can say that there is no difference between last update and and previous one) battery performance on last update is about half of the previous one! Even if the stamina mode is activated, draining is very fast on my device (z5 compact). Draining on stamina mode is larger than normal usage on normal mode (prev version). In short, this problem is very very bad on my phone. I'm wondering when this issue will be solved or this is just happened on my device?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyTekk:
Have to keep it in your mind.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
I did clean install of .224, wipe everything. Let the battery dies completely and recharged up to 100% without stopping. I had a significant improvement in battery life!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] GuiPoM:
Hello,

My phone is protected using fingerprint scans and pin code. I noticed that after several failures the phone is not only telling me that it will lock, but also that it will reset (after 8 failures, or something like that).

I don't see that as a security feature, anyone willing to make me loose a lot of time only have to put his/her fingers 8 times on the button and ... everything is gone in my phone ?

Is this a local security feature ? I mean is it configurable somewhere ? or is coming from a remote policy, or hardcoded somewhere in the phone ?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] rand0m_insanity:
Did you add your work email? I had this when I synched my work email to my device. Apparently, this is one of the security policies of my workplace.

And yes, I was locked out of my device a few days after I got it. It read my belly as a "fingerprint" unlock attempt, and soon I just saw it was wiping all my data. I was really bummed by that since it took hours for me to set up my device according to my liking. Fortunately, I still had my previous phone and didnt wipe it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] GuiPoM:
Yes, I have a work mail configured. Do you think it comes with security policies ? Because on our other phones (iphone, GS5/6) there is no similar settings put in place to wipe data.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Ezreal:
Hello guys. So i got this unit on my car a few days ago and until now it works fine.

Image down here.

BUT... theres always a but right?

Thing is.. I do have sound on my rear speakers, including the OEM subwoofer, i saw many topics which people didnt had it..

So i do have sound, but sounds way to low compared to the front speakers, i tried setting the sound management a little bit centered more in the back a little bit like this image:

But still, the rear speakers wont sound as loud as they were on the previous radio which was 1 din aftermarket kenwood..

Any clue?

Another issue i have, on the previous radio i had information on my board display (the one between the Km/h signal and RPM), information about which radio station i was listening to, precisely the name of the station.

Now i dont have any information when i listen to radio, BUT if i use bluetooth and call someone, it shows on the board the name of the person im in call with.

Just an image to help out.

So any clue about those 2 issues? Thanks in advance

Apologize I can't help with your questions, but wondering if you can answer a few that I have......as I'm looking at putting a unit in my 03 A4.

-Can you post link to where you bought yours with all the specs?

-Have you tried streaming via Bluetooth (ie Pandora from your phone)?? Can you comment on the quality of the sound?

-You have a Bose or non-Bose system?

Thanks very much.

Ok, the first issue you can fix., the second - forget about it - they don't support it.

For the second issue I created a video on YouTube. If you read all the comments under the video you will find the solution of the first issue (someone named João Duarte asked me about it). Because this stupid forum doesn't let me post links yet, you will have to go to YouTube and search for "To the Erisin Support Team". Watch the video and read all the comments and you will have the solution to the rear speakers not loud enough problem.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Pedaaa:
use a "high lo adapter" for the rear speakers.

I did they same on my Audi A4 B7 (without bose system)

Sounds way better now
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] edibar:
Hi can you explain where and how you wired the high low adapters. will the rear subwoofer also work then?

Hook RCA's to the rear speakers wires coming out of the stereo and plug those RCA's into the Rear RCA's hooked into the cars harness.

Any ideas if this is even possible? I know the LG G4 has this and it's something iOS has ... would be very useful ..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] neezy13:
This annoyed me as well because I came from a LG G3 and it did it out of the box. There are apps in the Play store that claim to be able to show the battery level but most are tracking usage and estimating, not actually receiving the battery info from the device. I know the devices I have report the battery level because it worked fine on my G3. Its really annoying to get into the gym with your Bluetooth headphones only to have them die a couple of minutes into your workout because there is no way to know the battery level.

Hi guys

I wanna enable navigation bar on a stock based custom rom.

There are several stock based custom roms (KitKat) for lg optimus g, but they (stock based roms& stock rom) have no problem with navbar.

But on this particular stock based custom rom, you can enable navigation bar with Xposed modules (but I think Xposed itself is a problem.)

& If you enable it with build.prop (qemo.hw.mainkeys=0), strangely you will face bootloop!

I've checked the logcats I guess the difference between a successful boot & navbar enabled boot starts from here:

E/AndroidRuntime( 874): *** FATAL EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS: main

E/AndroidRuntime( 874): java.lang.RuntimeException: Error receiving broadcast Intent { act=android.intent.action.USER_SWITCHED flg=0x50000010 (has extras) } in com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindowManage rEx$16@428e7f00

But I don't know what cause this fatal error.

Please check the logcats, & help me to find the related error.

Yeah,you heard it right!

The long awaited feature,ability to map keys for games that are originally developed for touchscreen enabled devices are coming to RemixOs.

The chinese version of RemixOs has a new version (2.0.401) dated 27th June 2016,which claims to support keymapping.

You can check the changelog at https://bbs.jide.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7351

Code: gbku

2) https://yunpan.cn/OcRUtwhPNKenuX

enter the code :gbku in the box before 提取文件. press enter.

click the file Remix OS PC版(64位). then put a tick on the box for the zip file and md5 file . now click on 下载 to download.

if you want to use alt+f1 , you need to go to setting , then experimental , you can enable alt+f1 there .

you need this to enable google play store

if you want root just replace the su file under system/xbin

There're few bugs that stop Android-x86 6.0 from daily use. For example,Google play services always crash on Intel Gen8+ GPUs,which is not fixed yet.

But the devs at Jide are actively contributing to Android-x86 6.0 and you'll be able to see the results in near future. For instance,the issue of Time being reset in Windows is fixed

[Remix OS for PC] lollyjay:
I downloaded and installed it. My impression :

1 Locked DOWN, no more root command line

2 No Play Store option

3 Does include keymapping

4 Stock file manager can no longer read the partition on which Remix OS is installed

5 Maybe a little more quick because of changes to disk partition access

This may be because it is currently for Chinese users, hopefully there will be more flexibility with the release

EDIT 2016/07/01: After solving problems of getting into root command line, was able to deactivate jide app policy and then went on to install nova launcher, etc. Then using help from [MENTION=4056517]HypoTurtle[/MENTION] I was able to do systemless root. Everything now operating well. I will continue testing this 2.0.401 over the next few days for stability.

Summary:

1 No longer locked down

2 Play Store is activated

3 keymapping confirmed

4 Solid Explorer can read all disk partitions by using Stickmount

5 So far seems quicker than 2.0.205
[Remix OS for PC] pengkoh1:
Latest version is dated 29 June 2016..

For root , you need to replace the su file at system/xbin.
