[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big-O-86:
So I followed a tutorial to unlock bootloader and root the Note 4 from Verizon (SM-N910V). First off I am gong to say that it was definitely challenging and time consuming. Mainly due to the inconsistencies in the tutorials. You got a few that claim it's unstable or that something wasn't mentioned or left out... Which is true. I not only encountered the lags and freezing, but also the "reboot cycle", that occured after the first round of unlocking bootloader. Now I am not trying to claim that I am better or that the authors are dumb, because as difficult as this "hobby", everyone has their own an unique style...

I was able to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP recovery, but was unable to flash any CF-AutoRoot, SuperUser, or any custom Rom. Along with that any "Stock" firmware I downloaded and tried to flash via ODIN or through TWRP was unsuccessful. Thankfully to persistence and a lot of research I was able to find a workable set of Firmware files on none other than an XDA_Forum.

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937

The above link contains the necessary files required for any unfortunates that may occur while unlocking/rooting note 4. I used ODIN to flash files in this order. Recovery image, kernel image, and then Firmware image... I did download Modem file but was not needed as the Firmware image already contained it. NONE!!! I repeat... NONE of this was done through TWRP, once you flash the recovery image TWRP recovery is over-written and the familiar Android Factory Recovery System is now in place. Also I would like to note that I onriginally started with 5.1.1, the image/tar files I flashed are 6.0.1. I know for a fact that just like any upgrade, while you do have some bugs and fixes... it is doable and actually lesser of a headache than one might guess.

Ayways I hope that the information I have provided was helpful and beneficial to SOMEONE out there in the world... GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

Hi.

Is it possible to write on phone memory from SIM card?

I mean, can I save file (or any other thing) from SIM card?

Does sim card have this permission?

Sorry, because my question maybe vague or incomplete.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danielle00:
Hi

Yesterday I rooted my phone using mobilego it's an UK Alcatel Pixi 4 6" 4G, everything went fine and finished rooting, I loaded SuperSU and it asked to update binaries. I clicked normal and it asked me about my king root and asked to uninstall it so I clicked yes. everything went through fine and asked to reboot. on reboot my phone just loads to the Alcatel logo and stays there so I'm assuming something went wrong somewhere and I now have a soft brick. I'm guessing I need a stock rom for my phone to get my phone working again.

I've gone through all the Alcatel websites that pop up on Google and all I have found is a stock rom for the 3g version of my phone.

does anyone know how to get my stock rom? or how to unsoft brick my phone please
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudi021:
hi Daniele00 try download this package this is mobile updater for alcatel devices. download tool wait for end installation and connect your phone off with the pc .if mobile upgrade recognized phone will be flashed new firmware.you have guide inside tool.remember process is long so drink few beer and relax.i hope this will help you. :) i cant post links but go to alcatel official site and search tool mobile upgrade..alcatel-mobile.com
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danielle00:
Thank you for the reply, I have been to the Alcatel website and in the software upgrade section my phone is not listed unfortunately the area no support for any Pixi 4 variant on the website, it's so frustrating. just an idea I had though, my partner has exactly the same phone as me, if he was to factory reset is there any way I can get it from his phone and some how install on mine?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
Your partner has the exact same phone you say? Then I think it's possible to make a backup of that device and then flash it to yours.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

It's the system partition that got corrupted, you can probably just use fastboot to flash the system.img of the other device that you have.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danielle00:
question, my phone being soft bricked and won't go past the logo screen, if I sent to repair centre will they somehow know the phone was rooted or can't they cause the phone won't boot.?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
If you don't tell them the phone was rooted then I don't think they would know. They should be able to get the phone working again.

Wouldn't it be easier to just make a backup of a working phone and then flash that?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] nyogtha:
I think I read that the sound mods like Viper's don't work on the MTCD-units, but I can't find it now. Due to the sound chip iirc. Any news on this? Does it work on MTCB units?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Dec64:
Viper4android works on MTCD, I assume it also works on MTCB. Perhaps what you heard references the MTC Radio. V4A does not effect/work on the radio but it works fine for me on spotify.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] nyogtha:
Really!? Great news! :) Mind telling me how you installed?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Dec64:
I've both side loaded the APK after downloading it from the fourms here and I've also installed the unsupported one from google play store. I just use the play store one now as it's easier then side loading. Both ways work fine tho
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] nyogtha:
thanks! will install later today.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] nyogtha:
Played around with this yesterday and can confirm that the unofficial play version works great with everything except the FM radio. I want to check out Dolby Atmos as well, but can only find it as a flashable zip and I guess you can't flash zips from the recovery on these units. Only update images.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Attrezzo Pox:
FM radio isn't a digital component I bet. FX works by processing a digital sound stream the FM radio basically is just a fm tuner with digital controls that plugs straight into the amp more/less. Output from digital sources is simply muted or fed in alongside the FM signal so FX could never touch it.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Attrezzo Pox:
I installed Viper4Android on a Malaysk modded unit and I bricked the sound and buttons. Had to reflash to get it back. Everything was going fine until it asked me to install the driver.

I'm assuming you're talking about Viper FX is that correct?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] AssassinsLament:
Viper4Adroid works fine for me... just make sure you have busybox installed, and you may need to have Viper4Android in the system/priv-app folder so it's not killed by the system. Also, make sure MusicFX is disabled.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Dec64:
Yeah I've done the same, what version are you on V4 or v5?

v4 had an issue where sometimes the hard buttons would stop working. you would need to do a delvik cache wipe to fix it. So it may have just been that. No one figured what was setting it off as far as im aware.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] masri1987:
question for all yall using V4a , does it show as "speaker"?

If so, anyway we can get subwoofer controls available under other modes like bluetooth or headset?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] masri1987:
you can flash zips for v4a and others via flash fire if you have root, worked for me and i'm on a mtcd GS unit

Didn't happen to me, which version of v4a?

I'm using Waves Headphones.irs and you can get the irs files from here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vbpewfdz6o6essc/AAAqEPilx1ZzT5R9cBmQs5v9a?dl=0. I use only IRS and some clarity with XiFi mode and 3.5DB. Also try to lock it from V4A menu, to Bluetooth or USB DOCK and switch to Advanced. Once you'll do that, you will unleash the true power of Viper4Android. You will not be dissapointed ;)
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] masri1987:
oh man how are you not blowing out your speakers on Waves Headphones? Bass is intersecting with mids big time!

Any other suggestions?

I'm using Samsung SoundAlive Clarity

And tested Waves Music too but waves music has almost no bass
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] devilsoft:
I have all the low/mid settings on HU Amp put to 0. I only have IRS and Clarity set on XiFi on 3.5 (nothing else enabled) and those two brings everything I need. If you use Poweramp, you need to disable EQU and Tone too, so you have a clear Viper4Android effect. It doesn't blow the speakers like you think :)
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] masri1987:
"HU Amp put to 0."

head unit equalizer settings? screenshot?

I don't have a aftermarket amp, i have 13 kicker speakers hooked up to my fctory harmon kardon amp.

THat includes the sub. It's a Logic 7 surround sound system....

I use power amp and a2dp streaming, tone and equ is off.

any other suggestions or irs?

Hello,

Since 1 month, my bluetooth disconnects from my car, BT speaker and BT headset randomly. My Z3C is working with Marshmallow sony rom (last update, no custom rom).

I have tried a factory reset, 2 times, and it works for 1 or 2 days then, BT problem comes back. So, I don't think it is a hardware issue.

What can I do to solve this problem ? I can't stand it anymore !!!

Thanks for your help !

OMG, I can't find help anywhere and I have the same problem. My Pebble Time smartwatch disconnects all the time.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gillou_:
Hello,

I have reset factory my phone and now, I am installing appplications one by one until the phone starts to have BT disconnected. So far so good, I have 80% of all my applications installed and BT still works perfectly. The problem come from an application which disconnect BT. Try to do this. If your BT do not disconnect when the phone have only stock applications, the problem come from an application you have installed. If not, I think it is a hardware problem.

I have exactly the same problem on Z5C with stock firmware. If you find what app is causing this problem can you tell me please? I don't have this problem on Z3C (SlimRom 3.1) with same apps...

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gillou_:
Yes of course. As soon as I found the app, I will post its name. Otherwise, a friend told me that you can install an application which can tells you the permissions of all your apps included access to bluetooth. It can be a lead to the app. Then uninstall apps using BT and test the BT connection. I don't know its name but a quick search on the app market and you will find your happines ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickael91210:
Hello,

Did you find something?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gillou_:
Not yet. I have several apps remaining to install on the phone. But I won't install several apps again because I don't need them anymore. So it is possible that I never find the wrong app.

Try to use "Permission Friendly Apps" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.androidsoft.app.permission) to search apps which use bluetooth and uninstall them to see if your BT starts to work fine.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gillou_:
I HAVE FOUND IT !!!! The app is called Marmiton. I have just look to its permissions and it take BT properties !!!! After installing it, BT starts to disconnect. Deleting it solve the problem !! :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickael91210:
Thanks !!!! It's strange because it's installed on my Z3c and I have no problem. I will check on the Z5c... In my side I thought it was "wear mini launcher" for Android wear.

Just to bring this thread to a close, software-wise Kate is exactly the same as Kenzo apart from it uses a different modem. Now mine has been reflashed it can use all same ROMs as Kenzo etc.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Shipmate:
I have very poor Battery Life on my new phone. Last night I factory reset the phone and at 11pm I fully charged the phone and left it in airplane mode. This morning it reported 58% by 7am this morning.

It's much worse in daytime light usage. It's flat after about 4hours.

I have noticed that the WiFi and AWAKE history graphs in battery section show WiFi always on and phone is always awake. Even when the WiFi is switched off it is always ON according to the graph. The phone is constantly warm all the time. I have contacted the UK supplier. Awaiting response.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] PolishDude:
I think that is an issue, however I am still not getting the battery life reviews have been getting....

The first few reviews talked about amazing battery life with SOT of 6+ hrs on this phone but in my opinion it is worse than the OnePlus 3 I used for a few days. Yesterday I got just under 4 hrs of screen on time, taking my phone off the charger at 6:30am and plugging it in at 11pm with about 4% battery left. I am using GSAM Battery Monitor and Phone Radio is taking a solid 37% of my battery, is that normal? The phone does show it has a weaker signal than any of my last phones in all familiar locations but I haven't actually noticed a difference in internet speed (actually getting 40mb pretty regularly) or call quality/reception. Today I am at 63% battery with the phone being unplugged 10 hrs 47 min and only 1hr and 16 minutes of SOT. No apps stand out as using a lot of the battery with App Usage being at 1%.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] perveeus:
What those 6+ hrs SOT stories don't tell you is that they gimp the phone ie turn off most if not all background processes such as: location, push emails, anything that has a hook to the web.

I mean I can always get 5+hour turning off all my smartphone services and just having my screen on to flipping around looking at locally stored stuff.

An average best for me is usually going to bed with 4+ hrs of SOT by midnight. @15% remaining and that was before the wake lock I mentioned above.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] PolishDude:
Yeah I was right at 4 hours SOT at 1am with the phone unplugged since 6:30am that morning and still 22% battery left, that is fine for me. I had everything on, including GPS, Bluetooth and Wifi
