[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jhadsfi:
So I have recently noticed that my phone would often not fast charge when connected to the outlet. The lock screen just displays charging. From yesterday I've had another problem where the lock screen does say charging rapidly but the phone fails to charge at all. Sits at a constant percentage. Does anyone know why this may be happening and any solutions? I'm using the charger and cable provided with the phone.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jhadsfi:
I don't think it's broken as it was not charging fine when I posted this but after trying again repeatedly it started charging. Anyway if I do get a cable is there a good cable which works with this phone? I am scared of getting one because of all the issues that have been plaguing USB c cables.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jauhien:
I see you do not understand what "USB cable broken" means.. after the metal wire inside got broken - it still works in multiple cable positions (bends)..

Anyway, these are the cables - get a few of them (of different length for instance)

P.S. As there are plenty of old-fashioned crap around us (i.e. carrying those pesky microUSB sockets) - get this tiny but very useful converter to use along with your new cables:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nourer:
Ok so my phone's screen is perfect, the display is not broken or scratched or anything like it. But in a vertical line on the right side of the screen almost at the end, it doesn't respond, the phone its perfectly fine but on that vertical line of the screen it does not get any of my touch input. I have the show touches feature from the developers options enabled so I can see exactly where the phone screen doesn't work.

The thing is now I can't enter my security pattern to unlock my phone, and before sending it to get fixed (and I know its probably gonna need a new screen) I wanto to backup my files and photos saved on the device but since I cant enter the pattern on the screen the phone wont let me access it via USB.

Anyone know how I can access my phone now? If I do a factory reset it will erase the pattern but also the personal data I want to recover?

Is this a firmware issue? or Hardware issue? Maybe some inside connection for the display got loose or something since my screen is intact without a single dent or scratch.

Any other Ideas on how to backup my stuff from the computer? Maybe there is some program I dont know about.

Cheers in advance.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Kianush:
Hey guys

I am deciding to buy a Xperia X compact soon so I have some questions I hope those who baught this phone already would answer me

1.how is the display quality in comparison to Galaxy S6(I have this currently)

I really like it when everything is floating on the surface and there is no gap between dispay and my finger touching it.

2.can you get antutu 6 and geekbench scores? I wanna compare it to z5c and x

3.which one has a more beautiful back, the black or the white?!

4.how much do you see lags(even minor ones) in the normal usage?!

5.how much does it take to go from 100% battery charge to 10% and on what usage?!

and also how long does it take to charge from 10to100 !?

(I never let these phones go under 10 cause it damages the battery:P )

i know there might be some reviews soon on youtube and gsmarena but i want to know the answer sooner :D:D

thank you
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Catcher235:
Hey everyone, just wanted some feedback regarding an issue I began having this week with my X Compact.

Issue: The phone is not as responsive during the unlocking process as it once was. I used to simply swipe to unlock and the phone would immediately unlock with a simple swiping motion. Now, the phone requires a harder swipe before it unlocks.

Any ideas?

Facts: 1) Smartlock is activated, 2) Phone has not been dropped or been damaged by water, 3) No other hardware or software issues are a concern at the moment, 4) The lock screen option is on "Swipe", 5) Phone is running the latest software (November security update), and 6) the regular Sony launcher is being used.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] tlxxxsracer:
I havent experienced any lag, the phone is smooth and responsive.

Display is great for its size. 720 isnt an issue to me. Brightness is good in daylight. Colors are accurate and blacks are more black than I've seen on ips lcd displays.

I get regularly 5hr sot. To charge to 100,depends if you have the battery care enabled or not. It learns your charging habits. During the night it'll charge slowly so it gets to 100% just before you unplug from the wall. You can turn it off and it'll charge quicker at the expense of some extra heat. They have battery care to prolong the battery life.

Here are benchmarks, close to 810 performance

In my opinion camera could be better. I had Z3c, Z5c and now Xc and image quality was degrading, especially when there is not enough light.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] lupuradu:
I also had the z3c and now the X compact and while I never actually tested the X properly, I know that I've been disappointed with the z3c's camera. On paper it had a great camera, in actual use it felt a bit crappy. I miss the design of my z3c though, one of the most beautiful phones I've ever had, even compared to the Xc.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] DZH1:
I have the XZ and the X Compact and neither of them lag at all, performance...at least for me... feels exactly the same.

I do not use social media apps or video games at all, so your experience May differ.

( I only use the pre-installed Sony and Google applications, and always disable or uninstall Facebook)

Zero lag.

When it comes to battery, I keep my screen brightness pretty high at 90% bright, and today I've been using the X compact mostly on trains in Seoul, so I'm sure my reception is off and on between OK and poor....

... after two and a half hours of screen on time I'm down to 69% battery, continuous non-stop use between the browser and the Gmail app.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Catcher235:
Thanks for the response. Yeah I am not sure what to think about this lag when unlocking. It is frustrating though. I compared my Z1 Compact to the X Compact, when unlocking, and the Z1 is much more responsive.

Just got a new S5, it 4.4.2. Rooted with Towelroot and confirmed with root checker. The OTA update just downloaded which will take it to 6.0.

I would like to,

keep root,

enable the free hotspot

ideally not trip knox (for android pay).

Hotspot is my priority over Android pay.

Is it possible to upgrade to lollipop without tripping knox? I've seen the thread to enable the hotspot on lollipop, but is this possible on 4.4.2 or 6.0, again without tripping knox?

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
well, you can download twrp manager and install TWRP and flash custom ROMs. Not tripping knox is going to be tough as its likely tripped with towelroot. Anyways, keeping root and enabling hotspot can be done with a myriad of custom ROMs. I personally prefer MOAR 7.0 as its sable, fast, has a great battery life and is TW based so its more familiar to the unexperienced rooter.

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

i personally prefer installing twrp via Odin, as its a surefire method. Just go to here download 3.0.2 and flash it in Odin then youre ready to install ROMs. Let me know if you need any guidance in installing ROMs

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidnova:
The backstory: I have no experience with rooting and or flashing custom ROMs. Prior to today my ze551ml was completely stock, running on the official android M update. I had a need to do a factory reset, but the phone would simply reboot. I assumed this was a problem with the update so I download and attempted to install the downgrade to l. Naturally it crashed mid downgrade and I thought it to be bricked. So, I started Googling and realized I was able to get into fastboot mode, but not recovery. Following a guide I located I attempted to flash the preroot ROM located at the link below:

http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/development/rom-pre-root-img-t3079590

Well, it appeared to have worked, but now the phone refused to boot at all after being turned off. So, more Googling and I proceeded to follow the full unbricking guide below:

http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/help/thead-bricked-phone-updating-to-mm-tips-t3452785

Partway through step 1.3 the phone restarted itself and booted right up into Android L! Success I thought to myself, but it was not to be. I proceeded to download the FOTA L update and it downloaded fine, but when I clicked to install it simply rebooted the phone. Tried a couple of other times with the same result. I realized that Supersu was installed so I did the full unroot assuming that was the problem, but to no avail. It appears that the updates can't install because the phone is incapable of entering fastboot or recover mode. Anytime I attempt to enter fastboot via hard key or through adb the phone hangs on the ASUS logo. Adb detects the phone when it's connected via USB, but of course fastboot can't because I can't get it into fastboot mode at all.

Any tips on how to get fastboot operational again so I can start applying updates again? Every guide I've located has started with "boot into fastboot/recovery" which simply isn't an option. Any help is appreciated.

Edit: Well, I think I've reached the end of the internet trying to google for a solution. The phone works, but it looks like it's stuck on build 2.13.40.13 until the end of its life. If anybody has any ideas I'm still hoping for a solution, but I can't find anything describing how to restore fastboot if the OS is intact.

You have to use full unbrick method(xfstk + raw) to restore ur device fully

xfstk will restore ur fastboot image
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidnova:
Thanks for the response. I've tried this a dozen times, but unfortunately (this is going to sound weird) since it's not completely bricked it is only detected as Moorefield for a few seconds when started. This allows the xfstk tool to detect it and begin the download, but not long enough to complete the process so it times out. The only development access I have to the phone now is via adb, but since I don't have root I'm very limited in what I can do via command line. Since I can't access fastboot I can't achieve root. It's just a comedy of errors now.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukhwant717:
seems like you did not install droidboot.bin correctly... only way is use xFSTK again.i have updated the link to latest raw firmware 2.20.40.194 and use the same guide and commands..
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidnova:
The problem is that it's only recognized as Moorefield for a few seconds which isn't enough time for xFSTK to complete the install. Do you know of a way to force the device to stay connected as Moorefield?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrperalta:
Plug the phone to the PC, be sure the phone is completely off and then hold power + vol- for a few seconds. You must see the "Moorefield" driver permanent in the device manager.

Btw... I got the same problem (four lines, not bootloader, not OS; xFSTK FW+OS failed) and I'm stuck in this step :/
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidnova:
I've tried this many times, but it only shows Moorefield for a few seconds. I'm assuming this is because it has a fully operational OS so it doesn't stay in the generic USB device mode.

EDIT: I misread your original post. Holding power and volume DOWN does keep connect it in Moorefield. Thanks so much for that. The problem now is that once xFSTK gets to downloading the OS it reboots the phone which takes it out of USB mode and disconnects the tool. I'm still stuck where I was before, but that's a little progress. Any other thoughts?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidnova:
New update. I'm able to get to the point of loading the OS from xFSTK by skipping the FW part, however it continuously fails. My assumption is because it can't overwrite the existing OS. Any other ideas?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrperalta:
Kidnova, reading this post I could fixed my problem. The "issue" was in the xFSTK where you put the flag (0x800000807). A guy on the threat said to put "0x80000807" instead of "0x800000807" (note that there is "0" from difference).

I saw that the Studio Selfie uses the MT6580 chipset, which has a kernel version of 3.10. I'm looking to port CM to my Energy X 2 with the same chipset and kernel version, however since the kernel version is 3.10, there is no device tree, however that's required for porting CM.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] uptwolait:
I have a BLU Studio Selfie 2 with Android 6.0 preinstalled. I cannot find ANY method of unlocking the bootloader. I've tried quite literally every method I can find on XDA and the web, and I cannot get it to root. Even though I select the "allow unlocking bootloader" option in Developer Options, when I power on into the boot menu it won't let me use Volume Up to select bootloader mode ... so I can't flash a custom ROM, and I can't backup the stock ROM. I also read on the web that Android 6.0 has more strict methods for preventing root access, so maybe I should downgrade to an earlier Android version first?

Regardless, there is very little I've found through weeks of searching that applies directly to this model phone, and nothing has been successful [yet] in rooting it. Can you point me to a method that might work?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Deleted member 7671171:
Use ADB and type adb reboot bootloader

That will get you into the bootloader and then you type fastboot OEM unlock. I ported this ROM to my Blu energy x 2 and I didn't need to unlock the bootloader.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] uptwolait:
When I type "fast OEM unlock", the device says to press the Volume Up key to confirm... but that's part of the problem, this phone won't let me press the Volume Up button, only Volume Down which exits and reboots normally.

I also asked the question about possibly downgrading to an earlier version of Android first, then trying to root. This is based on a disturbing statement found in the post https://www.xda-developers.com/a-look-at-marshmallow-root-verity-complications/ :

"If you want root today, on Android Marshmallow (6.0), you’re going to need to use a modified boot image. While it remains to be seen if this remains true indefinitely, it looks likely to be the case for some time – SELinux changes make it much harder to get root access without modifying the boot image. And as modifying the boot image requires an unlocked bootloader, this could put an end to root (and Xposed and other root features) on devices which are shipped with bootloaders that can’t be unlocked by end users. "

Thoughts?
