it`s still dont work you have another way?

thnx
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
Ah, I see. I use Nova Launcher, so dont have that issue.

Regarding modifying the build.prop, that would need root, so not possible on the locked bootloader version..

If you have an unlocked bootloader, you can flash that version of Genisys..

Hi [MENTION=3693404]CygnusBlack[/MENTION]

Just to give you my update.

I reflashed v4.8 in Refurbish mode as I was getting a bug where I could not dismiss the alarm clock. Had to pull the battery to stop it.. Really pissed off my wife by the way, while I was fiddling with my phone for a whole minute trying to stop that damn alarm :D

1. I have no issues with the 3-dot menus

2. No issues with Chrome Dev

3. Which menus exactly are you talking about?

4. Haven't tried it.. No real need when LGUP takes me there directly. You can also do it via ADB command (dunno if that helps for your use-case)

I'm using v4.8 UX5.0.

Also, restoring via the in-built backup and restore feature in Settings restored everything back as it was.. It also backs up/restores the DCIM folder..

[MENTION=4956374]theKramer[/MENTION]

The alarm issue is a known bug... Pretty dangerous too. You don't want to piss your wife off so early in the morning :p

Here's a brief video of the 3 dots menu issue.

Again, I'm using the stock launcher, not Nova.

https://vid.me/nOzE

It's like it's opening in two steps.

Also, the adb commands can go as far as the recovery menu, not the download menu. Yeah, I had to use LGUP to get their job done. It's still something to consider though.

How do we extract the rar. ive tried every WinRAR winzip 7zip winarc. downloaded multiple times, what am I doing wrong?
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
7zip didnt work for me. I just right-clicked and in the winrar context menu I selected "Extract here..."
[G4 Android Development] DunnosG4:
Ill try again but all has failed after so many attempts
[G4 Android Development] Xdekker:
Sorry for being a noob here but this is the only rom for the G4 that does not void warranty i.e. doesn't require unlocked bootloader/root , correct?
[G4 Android Development] arfan.chatha:
Extract the tot file

If you are extracting on PC?

Same It happened to me.

The solution is to transfer the file in your phone and extract that via RAR "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar"
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
Its one of only 2 or 3.

This one is the easiest to flash as the others involve more manipulation steps that personally made me a little bit nervous. I bricked my G3, hence why I now have a G4 :)

This is why I am less willing to try the others..

[MENTION=5796017]BySezerSimsek[/MENTION], what will happen if I flash this on my 818P? Will it be only that I'll get single-SIM usability and not dual? Or what?
[G4 Android Development] Xdekker:
Sorry for being a noob at this ( Never flashed this way, always the regular way, rooting etc.) Could you please explain how to actually flash this one? ( I am sorry but the devs instructions are just so unclear)
[G4 Android Development] draskome:
You need to download KDZ file, and flash it using LGUP choosing option "Refurbish", which is actually clean install of the stock ROM.

Here you have one catch: to load KDZ file for refurbish, you first need to choose Update option, load KDZ and then close LGUP.. When you start LGUP again, KDZ file will be chosen already when you pick Refurbish.

When LGUP flash KDZ file, you can immediately flash TOT file which is basically just a image of the system of Genisys ROM. Here you are using "Update" option, not "Refurbish".

You can also configure stock ROM first and install apps, and then upgrade with a TOT file, it's up to your preferences.

So, it's quite easy ;)
[G4 Android Development] Xdekker:
Tyvm, The only reason why I'm hesitating is because of LG releasing android 7 soon for the LG G4 ( Buddy of mine works for customer service, told me we will get it in 2016 as well) . How hard would it be to go back to stock ( Or is that not even necessary) and flash the Android 7 rom ( OTA or via PC)

Again, Thanks in advance!
[G4 Android Development] draskome:
Using LGUP, that is actually official LG program for LG services, you can easily flash stock ROM again to be able to use OTA. No problem at all

Help Need Rom TCL D35 plz
[XDA Assist] Art Vanderlay:
Hi,

I couldn't find much information about your device here as you can see from this search result :eek:

There are no roms and very little dev support for that device. You can try asking in > Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A,Help and Troubleshooting to see if there are any other TCL D35 that can help but I think you'll have to port or build your own rom for device.

Good luck :)

Compared with my old Honor 7 it has by far a lower volume with exactly the same bluetooth speakers.

On both devices the volume is setted to MAX why this difference why this annoying limit on S7.This is a shame!!!

Any way to solve it and play at full volume?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicagoboyrn:
Before my phone was rooted, here was my configuration:

Android Version: 4.4.4. Verizon

Build Number: KTU84P.G900VVRU1ANK2

Kernel Version: 3.4.0

I was able to successfully root my phone and verify via Root Checker! Problem started when i try to upgrade to Marshmallow and install a custom ROM. Here are the steps i made:

Installation Instructions for VZW S5 with Unlocked Bootloaders

Copy the G900V_PF4_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip (or the deodexed and debloated version of the ROM) to your device’s internal storage on external SD card.

Open the FlashFire app and “Agree” to the Terms and Conditions prompted by the app.

Press the rounded “+” button twice to bring up the Actions menu.fireflash-app-android

Now tap Flash Zip or OTA option and select the G900V_PF4_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip.

Make sure that Auto-mount is unchecked under the Options menu and press the checkmark to continue.

From the main menu uncheck all options under EverRoot.

Set the Reboot settings to Download.

When all’s done, tap the Lightning bolt icon followed by OK to begin the installation.

When the installation is finished, your device will reboot automatically into the Download Mode.

Now connect your phone to the PC via USB cable and launch Odin.

Click the PDA/AP button in Odin and select the G900V_PF4_Bootloader.tar.md5 file.

Then hit the Start button to begin the installation.

Your Verizon Galaxy S5 will reboot automatically.

The problem is now when i turn on the phone, a message would pop. SECURE FAIL: KERNEL on upper left corner and a START UP FAIL with a YELLOW triangle and an exclamation point inside. At the bottom it says YOUR DEVICE DIDN'T START UP SUCCESSFULY. USE THE VERIZON SOFTWARE REPAIR ASSISTANT ON A COMPUTER TO REPAIR YOUR DEVICE.

I should have just been content with a ROOT phone since my main goal was to remove bloaters. I should have not upgraded to Marshmallow 6.0

and install a custom ROM.

Was hoping for your expert advice since i am not a techy myself. Thanks in advance for all your input.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryanx86:
Reflash official firmware through odin onto your device, tbe last version you know that is rootable. Then go through the bootloader unlock process again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicagoboyrn:
Thanks, i will try tomorrow. Since you seem to be knowledgeable with phones, can i ask you one more question? Have you heard of Samsung galaxy s5 (Verizon) having rotational problem? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iskeeetwo:
My s5 started not rotating about a month ago

After doing a lot of research and changing rooms etc I came to the conclusion that it is a hardware failure (the gyro). As a work around you can install a rotation app. I use an app called Rotation Control
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Azra4:
My beloved Z Ultra died two weeks ago and I’m still inconsolable. So I looked at what Sony has to offer presently and the XA Ultra with its 6.0” screen seemed like the closest thing to it. Well, let’s just say the XA Ultra has done little to alleviate my pain and sorrow.

If any Z Ultra owner is considering the XA Ultra, I poster a review here:

http://xdaforums.com/xa-ultra/how-to/xa-ultra-impressions-t3468894
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
Interesting review. It verifies what I suspected and essentially knew when the XA Ultra came out: It just can't replace a Z Ultra.

Anyone looking for a replacement should consider the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra, Huawei/Honor Note 8, Lenovo Phab2 Pro or the Xiaomi Mi Max. They are proper 'Ultra replacements' and should be on the shortlist.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PDesire:
It won't ever give anymore a Sony Phone which can replace a Z Ultra fully

The Z Ultra idea came from Sony to do something very revolutionary, this wasn't 100% perfect executed by Sony on Z Ultra like the just 3000mAh battery or the bad cam so it became a flop

So it's understandable that Sony does do these Ultras for the special people but that's not their main target phone

Your PDesire
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rickgillyon:
Interesting some people who haven't used an XA Ultra writing it off, having never tried it... :) XA Ultra is what it is, a midrange 6" phone, so will never compete with what the Z Ultra was at release. But for today, with the options available, if you want worldwide LTE, it's one of the best options and presents many improvements over the Z Ultra. The alternatives mentioned above are so far either not delivered or don't deliver usable LTE for large parts of the world.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I really wonder when 'LTE' became the most important aspect of a device, more important than anything else such as hardware etc?

It sounds like 'LTE' is so important that it makes up for a MediaTek Helio P10 with Snapdragon 800 level performance and hardware that isn't a too much of an 'upgrade' from the Ultra, beside the camera.

The XA Ultra is very easy to dismiss just by looking at what it offers:

1. Smaller display size than the Ultra (itself a dealbreaker).

2. Similar CPU performance (i.e. no step forward since 2013...).

3. MediaTek (forget about ROMs and the Open Devices program).

4. Lower build quality than the Ultra.

5. Low storage and RAM for a 2016 device.

6. Price is similar to more powerful devices from other brands.

Pluses would be 'official Marshmallow' (I don't consider that too much of a benefit in a world of ROMs) and far better camera than the Ultra. The rest? So-so.

A device such as the Xiaomi Mi Max or Huawei/Honor Note 8 or Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra and the Lenovo Phab2 Pro offer substantial improvements on all areas in comparison with the Ultra and is the natural choice for anyone looking for a replacement.

Getting the XA Ultra over any of those, using the 'LTE argument' is downright silly actually. Even if another device would only get EDGE data I would take it over the XA Ultra as long as the rest is top-notch and then solve the connectivity in a different way.

I just can't see how LTE can 'compensate' the MediaTek Helio P10, smaller screen, lesser build quality, low amount of storage and RAM etc and the pricetag.... If LTE is that critical I rather buy the Xperia XZ. Far more powerful than the XA Ultra and the screen size doesn't matter, it is a downgrade anyway. I would also rather pick up the Z3TC SGP621 over the XA Ultra.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rickgillyon:
Yet again, you assume that just because a feature is less important to you, it's less important to everyone else. Fast data is the most important feature of a phone to me. I also want a big screen. Would prefer 6.4, and would prefer latest Snapdragon, but of course those things aren't all available right now on one phone.

It's patently clear you haven't used the phone if you don't think the hardware is an upgrade, perhaps you should try one out first? Note that camera isn't the only clear upgrade for XA over Z.

I also love the fact that your "Getting the XA Ultra over any of those" argument includes two phones that aren't available yet. :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rickgillyon:
Hell, how many words do you need to say you don't really like that phone (the one that you've never used)? A full page of mostly nonsense, basically: happy to step back 5 years on data speeds, not happy to lose 0.4" of screen; but if you are losing 0.4", you may as well lose 1.2". Laughable. I hope you're happy with your cheap phone, it works for you and the trade-offs you're happy to make, but there's no need for lengthy tedious diatribes on why everyone else is wrong.

No-one apart from you has spouted this idiocy. We all have preferences.

Edit: and no-one knows what would beat the Asus or Lenovo, because so far they are imaginary.

You want to tell me where the Z Ultra has "way more powerful hardware?" Again, as a non-user of the XA Ultra? It has a slightly bigger screen and a slightly bigger battery. Way more powerful?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
The Xiaomi Mi Max is a serious upgrade from the Ultra - especially the 4/128 version. It is simply a better choice than the XA Ultra for those looking for a replacement.

Double the amount of RAM (in comparison with the Ultra).

Decent CPU upgrade (from 40-46K AnTuTu to 80K AnTuTu).

Same display size (wider brightness range).

Way more storage (128GB instead of 16GB).

Excellent battery life (12-13 hours SOT in comparison with 5-6 hours SOT).

So in what way is the XA Ultra a 'better' upgrade path for an Ultra owner than the Mi Max and the other options?

Asus has started deliveries of the Zenfone 3 Ultra and it is another interesting upgrade.

The XA Ultra is simply a disappointing device from Sony and they could do way better. Making a 'XZ Ultra' - i.e. a 6" version of the XZ would be a way better approach.

It is also interesting with attempts to defend the XA Ultra, especially in comparison with a device such as the Mi Max considering the MediaTek CPU and everything. There are absolutely nothing 'premium' about it and trying to use arguments such as 'enjoy your cheap phone' when defending the XA Ultra doesn't sound particularly right.

Edit: The statement of 'way more powerful hardware' referred to the Mi Max and the other new phablets.

I would like to ask you this simple question:

In what ways are the Mi Max (and the other options) NOT a good upgrade from the XZU - while the XA Ultra is?

My Mi Max is doing everything my Ultra does, it has all strong points of the XZU and it improves on the weak ones (RAM, storage, camera, adds fingerprint scanner and provide a decent CPU speed boost). What 'trade-offs' do you see with the Mi Max?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rickgillyon:
Yep, sure, those phones are way better for running Antutu, knock yourself out with that. What you can't seem to get through your head (I suspect you never will), is that this is a phone and mobile data device. The fact that it gets better scores doesn't matter at all. The fact that it doesn't have decent data speeds does. To me. Yeah, you're impressed by different brands of chips and scores, enjoy. I won't hamstring myself with crap data on a mobile device. That's why it's better. For me and others.

You appear unable to grasp that not everyone wants the same thing from their phone that you do. It's like conversing with an infant.

Where? Not the US or the UK. I've only had one Asus phone, it was awful and only lasted a few months, but maybe they've improved.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
A phablet should fulfill the following requirements in order to be a worthwhile upgrade from the XZU:

1. Faster CPU/GPU

2. Increased RAM (4GB or more)

3. Increased storage (32GB or more)

4. Similar screen size (or slightly bigger - up to 7")

5. Run a newer Android version out of the box (6.x, 7.x)

6. Decent developer support and ROMs such as AICP, RR or the Sony Concept ROM etc.

7. Adequate cellular connectivity (HSPA+ minimum, LTE good to have)

8. Improved battery life (8 hours or more SOT, heavy use)

9. MicroSD or UFS for expandable storage

10. Adequate camera (i.e. better than the XZU pretty atrocious unit)

I.e: An 'Ultra II' simply put - offering the same basic properties as the XZU while improving the weaknesses (especially RAM and storage).

The Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra, Huawei/Honor Note 8, Lenovo Phab2 Pro and Xiaomi Mi Max fulfill those requirements - albeit with some question marks surrounding ROM development for the Kirin (Huawei).

All four are decent upgrades from the XZU, offering the same basic properties, while improving on the weaknesses.

I have never experienced a 'speed problem' with my C6802 - it typically provide stable 15-16 Mbit/s download speeds and even if my C6833 is faster I have no problem with downloading files, doing HD streaming etc on such a speed. When I use data plans with 2GB caps, speed doesn't exactly matter for the simple reason that you don't do heavy use on such a limited plan anyway. When I have my unlimited data SIM in, getting a stable 15-16 Mbit/s over HSPA+ is.... good enough even for HD streaming.

Having a fast CPU, more RAM, more storage and so on brings tangible benefits and especially the storage part was an issue on the Ultra. Hardware when paired with a decent ROM is simply the key aspects of a device - LTE just can't make up for 16GB of storage or a MediaTek Helio P10.

I buy devices as 'mobile computers' and prioritize hardware and software (the latter is a matter of custom ROMs, I just don't care for stock ROMs). The XZU is an excellent mobile computer and the Xiaomi Mi Max is even better because it keeps all strengths of the Ultra down to the RR ROM and pairs them with improvement of the weaknesses.

The XA Ultra has some extra LTE bands, yes - but is a weak performer in all other areas, especially storage and CPU. And those two areas matters - not because of AnTuTu but because of more demanding apps and games coming out. It is reasonable to expect serious improvements in performance on a device three years newer than the one being replaced.

Even better would be Snapdragon 820, 821 or the upcoming '830'. Less than a 650? Not good enough simply put. Same with the storage - 16GB has been small on the XZU, buying a new device with the same internal storage makes no sense - my storage problem would continue. Using the microSD as a 'solution' (i.e. moving appdata) isn't optimum in 2016 when there are several devices with 32-256GB internal PLUS microSD.

The Xiaomi Mi Max is simply an excellent Ultra replacement.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rickgillyon:
I give up. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it think.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jaime4272:
I just wanted to say that unfortunately my screen broke and it became unresponsive to touch so I was contemplating on other phones but I couldn't find a z ultra replacement I thought of the Asus Zen 3 ultra but it is too extensive so I bought me another z ultra to replace my broken z ultra there's no other like it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
It's not necessary to think too much in order to realize this simple fact: XA Ultra isn't a proper XZU replacement compared to other alternatives including the XZU itself.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rickgillyon:
You would need to develop that capability first.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
The XZU is still a beast so great choice. It seems like Asus is starting to drop prices for the Zenfone 3 Ultra in comparison with some of the sky high ones listed before ($699).

Let's hope there will be a 8xx based 6.44-7" phablet next year - preferably sharing hardware with a flagship as well (lower development cost).

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

Perhaps you could describe the thought process leading up to the conclusion that the XA Ultra is a 'better' XZU replacement than other options... I still see a 16GB MediaTek device there.

Edit: Or is the XA Ultra a better device because of:

1. It's a Sony

2. It has LTE 800/900 etc

3. It runs Sony stock Marshmallow

4. The camera is better than [insert device]

It is a bit hard to claim that the XA Ultra has great hardware or performance paired with excellent storage - thus making it a great upgrade path for XZU owners....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jaime4272:
Well I did think hard on that asus zen 3 ultra, but the quality, brand and looks of the z ultra it's what brought me back to it. I know that's it's getting old on it's hardware but still capable for the most task at hand besides that price it's also affordable compare to the zen 3 ultra, may be some day there will be a xperia z ultra replacement. I was hopping on the xa ultra but what a dissepiment from Sony their loss my z ultra.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cityman1962:
I've hung around for ages waiting for a decent z ultra from Sony,but it seems unlikely now that it will ever happen.So I took a deep breath and looked at the competition,and it seemed to come down to the mi max or the honour note 8.Went with the honour note 8 mainly because of the better specs and also the superior screen.Was pondering waiting for the lenovo phab pro,but I'm glad I went for the note 8,the Kenobi looks a bit chunky width wise.Aesthetically the old Sony wins out.And I lose waterproofing/NFC and 4g on my particular network 02,apart from that,the note 8 really is a huge upgrade on the Sony.Camera,2k amoled screen,ram,storage,fast charging etc etc.So far-so happy!
