Okay I had this once before too.

I fixed it by using a third-party software tool like sdformatter, you'll have to take it out and connect to a PC again though.

You can try it with this, i've uploaded a copy of it I had still on my USB drive: http://www.filedropper.com/sdformatterv4

Again try to format to fat32 first and if it still doesnt gets recognized by your phone, take it out again and try format to EXT4.

I dont remember for sure exactly if this software can format to EXT4 but I think it does, if it doesn't you could search on google for software that does.

I hope this will do it, because im running out of idea's lol :fingers-crossed:

Let me know if it worked or not ;)
[Xperia Z5 General] piponxs:
SDFORMATTER Tried last night,but didnt help,found thread on xda with some guy having xperia Z1 with that problem,but thats not my problem because if I flash normal firmware via flash tool,or via pc companion,phone will read sd card normally.Problem is only when I flash rooted .305 from previus thread. Let me get to the point, what I need is rooted .305 kernel for E6653,with recovery,(the one I was flashing was for E6683) and that will solve my problems,so If you could help in that point I would be so grateful :good:
[Xperia Z5 General] koekoek91:
You can try this kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69196231&postcount=854

You can flash it from twrp.

It isn't rooted yet, but you could do this by flashing this supersu zip: https://download.chainfire.eu/1001/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.78-20160905010000.zip

1 Copy kernel and supersu zip to your internal memory.

2 First flash kernel

3 Once thats done, instead of rebooting system, first press back and flash the supersu zip.

Reboot (might bootloop first 1 time) but then it should boot.

Hope this fixes your issues :p
[Xperia Z5 General] piponxs:
Will try it,but I prefer stock kernels much as possible,but thanks any way...will try
[Xperia Z5 General] koekoek91:
And why is this if I can ask?

You could also extract the kernel from the official firmware you downloaded in flashtool if you know how to do it. Or I could do it later for you maybe.

Then you could try to patch it with Rootkernel if you search for that thread. Don't know if .305 firware is supported for that yet though.

But custom kernel is so much easier, and more advantages to optimize your phone more, but to each its own I guess ;)
[Xperia Z5 General] piponxs:
I want stock root , because if "fingerprint error" comes again I can fix it with one solution that requires rooted .305. Why .305? Because custom roms have a lot of bugs, batt drains and mostly they are.252 so device keeps informing me new softawre availible. I would be so happy If I could somehow reset my phone completey but I cant, on all stock roms Ive flashed Im facing "fingerprint hardware not availible"... So to fix this I need rooted .305 kernel or fw. The only one Ive found is one for E6682 , I flashed it,managed to fix scanner problems but now " no sd card "problem. So only solution I have is to flash rooted .305 kernel over .305 Fw for E6653 ofcourse

Yes root is availible because guy from Link ive provided managed to upload rooted .305 kernel but for E6683 not for E6653 (mine) so thats the reason why my phone doesnt read sd
[Xperia Z5 General] koekoek91:
Im using ROMX v3.0 from [MENTION=6791680]_LLJY[/MENTION], battery life is good, i haven't had any issues with it at all.

Even finger print works, I just tried it.

ROMX v3.0 is based on .253 firmware though but im not getting any notifications about new software update.

This probably is thanks to the custom kernel. It has both down and upsides.

The advantage is that with stock(ish) kernels you can probably update from within the phone even when you are rooted, so you dont have to flash firmware via flashtool and setup root and stuff again.

Is this correct? I always played with custom kernels so I dont know lol :p

The disadvanteges of stock kernels (for me atleast) is it offers less abilities to optimize my phone as much as I want. Which is why I prefer custom kernels.

For example I think you can improve battery alot more with custom kernels.... or performance, if you dont care about battery.

But about ROMX v3.0... the only (small downside) about ROMX I see is that it is for .253 firmware, but .305 is just some small changes so I personally dont really care.

Maybe you should go have a look at his thread for more info http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/development/xperia-x-rom-e6653-e6683-z5p-t3388183

EDIT: I just read on the ROMX thread, there are people though reporting issues with fingerprint, so I can't guarantee it will work for you too, but on my phone it works.

Anyway, good luck! :silly:
[Xperia Z5 General] piponxs:
Hehe, tried 3.0 and 3.1 beta, two fingerprint issues, one for hardware not availible, second somethink about sensor memory...
[Xperia Z5 General] koekoek91:
Hahah oh okay well then I dont know what the hell is wrong with it for some people :p
[Xperia Z5 General] _LLJY:
Hmm, works completely okay here, perhaps check storage space. And to fix the sensor unavailable issue, lock and unlock the device, the sensor will have a small glitch and it will start working again

Anyone having issues with the audio in notifications ??? It says that it is enhanced, but when I get a call, the audio is great the first second and then it gets really quiet.. Increasing ringtone is disabled
[Xperia Z5 General] 4Strings:
At this point nothing I've tried seen to work...

I've tried almost all the possible combinations of buttons, but with the phone plugged in to a charger and when sitting on my desk, for as much as 12 hours or more... Still nothing. :(

I guess I'll attempt to open up the phone and disconnect the battery cable for a few hours. Hopefully that will be enough, but if not, I've ordered a replacement battery online and will try to swap it out...

If anyone has any other suggestions of things to try before I open up the phone, I would be very happy to hear them... :/

I had same problem with my Z5 and I put him one day not using and louder sound is comin back.

I dont know,maybe you can to flash another version of firmware,i mean another region.
[Xperia Z5 General] reza_v:
Did you try the button in sim card tray?

Also try connecting the phone to wall charger while holding down power button or a combination of power button and some other button. (it worked on my nexus 4).
[Xperia Z5 General] 4Strings:
As I said, I've tried all the buttons, in different combinations, both with the phone plugged in and not. No dice. Just a flashing red LED...
[Xperia Z5 General] koekoek91:
Damn your phone is really being tough on you lol.

Well im out of idea's, i've followed your posts here and gave some idea's.

But it seems like you have tried pretty much everything possible.

Good luck and let us know if opening up the phone worked out well.
[Xperia Z5 General] Duvel999:
Your phone isn't Unlocked & Rooted / Twrp?

Try Seus repair or Flashtool with several firmwares.

I had the red light also, but was ub, rooted & Twrp problems.

I would have tried that, but the phone won't be detected by any computer... :(

[MENTION=5880979]4Strings[/MENTION]

a brick phone takes lots of patience to wake up! since any key combination is not resulting in any vibrations! , use rubber band (24hrs) trick to DRAIN batter, then recharge for 48 hour (wallcharger)

when red led comes back! try connecting the device in flash mode and FLASH original FTF FILE!!!!!!!!!!
[Xperia Z5 General] 4Strings:
I guess I'll try again...

How exactly does holding down just the Vol+ button drain the battery though?

[Xperia Z5 General] XperiassinceZ1:
With about 60-70% battery life and fully charged power bank with equal charging current to a normal charger (and 1,3Ah) didn't give me a thought of this chance. I've been charging my phone for the last 2 months with these large power banks overnight with no problems and 50% power left, staying on even when phone is 100% charged. But gotta remember this that never do firmware update even if its on normal charger if the phone isn't 90% charged. Anyways if I cant get this work ill switch to apple :laugh: its so ****ing unbelievable that the phone wont go to "bios version of phones" cuz there should be some kind of activity on motherboard even the firmware is bricked. But no. And it shouldn't need to be rooted to work.
[Xperia Z5 General] YasuHamed:
in older devices of xperia , binding rubber band across device in a way that it keep pressing vol+ key, Drains batter faster! (in few hours) , so i am placing my bet on that

Just got the update today, not much changes, and it didn't fix the problem of Facebook messenger pics appearing in the Album app (which started happening relatively recently). Camera speed still seems the same :(

Is charging optimization turned on a lot slower than with it turned off?
[Xperia Z5 General] milanelo:
I cannot understand how Sony could ruin battery life after each small update. On .305 the battery life is extremely poor, much poorer than on .253. :angry
[Xperia Z5 General] ricodredd:
Settings - About phone - Status - Charging optimisation - OFF
[Xperia Z5 General] YasuHamed:
disable auto save images from the fb messenger settings.

charging optimization seems a value added feature in .305, perhaps sony was concern what happend to Note7

so the new charging is VERY SLOW.
[Xperia Z5 General] milanelo:
I've disabled that after the update and still the battery life is pretty ****ed up.:(
[Xperia Z5 General] ficalheiro:
This update completely messed my microphone on my E5823... About to freak out with Sony! :(

Can anyone give me any ideas? In safe mode it's also broken, I didn't reset the phone yet as I have my public transportation card on it, and can only switch it safely on weekends.
[Xperia Z5 General] langeveld024:
You should do a factory reset with every upgrade, to avoid problems like this.

If the problem persists, reflash full ftf.

If still persists, contact Sony.

Regards
[Xperia Z5 General] YasuHamed:
did you CLEAN flash or upgraded via OTA ?

any upgrade via OTA always results in POOR battery performances lateron!
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
They already had it in the Xperia beta program before the Note 7 problems, plus the included Qnovo adaptive charging in the Xperia X series.

The charge optimization doesn't seem to slow down charging for me, maybe very slightly. I haven't really tested using the phone while charging though.

Dunno if it's just in my head, but I also think the phone runs considerably cooler after .305 - after a long charge it isn't warm.
[Xperia Z5 General] YasuHamed:
Xperia X rom is way better than Z3/Z4/Z5 series Rom! they have better value added features and phone tries to adapt your habits!

I hope they z5 gets all such apps in Nougat

yes .305 runs smoother on your device! battery optimization for me is also good! however LTE drains batter drastically! (always)
[Xperia Z5 General] snurre:
So I finally flashed .305, and now I can't find the option for Wifi Calling.

Anyone else miss that? I can't find it under Settings -> Call.

[Xperia Z5 General] Ryuu.:
So nothing bad happen if i do that right? I planned to flash AU or LATIN AMERICA region firmware. Or if you have a suggestion what should i use for my device? I am at indonesia region.
[Xperia Z5 General] reza_v:
I think the only difference between firmwares is some stock applications. But I'd suggest you to flash a region which uses the same LTE/radio frequencies that is being used in Indonesia.(maybe somewhere near Indonesia?) Anyways that's just a guess, probably all firmwares support all frequencies.

When Marshmallow came out first time, I think I had Taiwan or maybe even Indonesian firmware, I am not sure, and I am in central Europe and I didn´t have any problems with it. Now I am on Russian firmware because I want to get Nougat right away when it comes out for our Z5 :D

Read previous posts

Download Flashtool, and inside Flashtool you have XperiFirm where you can download any FTF you want, also as I said above, I have Russian firmware, you can flash it, and you will not have any problems with it.

Remember both of you guys are doing this on your own risk!
[Xperia Z5 General] koekoek91:
And using Russian firmware helps in this how? I'm not really sure what difference it makes compared to other firmwares in terms of how fast you can get nougat? :p

Personally I just keep an eye on XDA Z5 forums to get nougat as soon as possible. There will probably be an article on XDA portal aswell when nougat is rolling out to our Z5 like with the Xperia XZ.. And someone will make a post about it once it's here I'm sure :laugh:

I prefer to stick to my own country's firmwares but have used other regions firmwares aswell like you. It probably doesn't matter that much yeah :laugh:

fota.reset.ta

Alemaker
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] njmarchetti:
Sorry, I should have clarified.

I am experiencing the same as Alemaker. First only text comes through and I can download the message to receive HTML. However, until just a few weeks ago, the messages would be delivered in HTML which saved me a lot of time.

Also, the original text that is delivered is not the entire message, it is a tiny portion (like 2-3 lines) even though I have my settings to receive 30,000 characters. this also started the same time my HTML mails started coming in as text.

Either way I think there are some major issues going on with Windows Live. Does MS have a newsgroup for this software?

Newsgroup Link:

Interesting, looks to me as if they've just changed the behavior of the long press, long press for the menu and then drag the menu to move the icon maybe?

Yes I posted that in the YouTube link,FP does have some gestures
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
About as useful as it sounds. On my 6P, it'd be great... that is a yoga move to get to the notification bar, so I used Nova and just do a pulldown anywhere on the screen. I may not use Nova with the Pixel XL though since it seems like some features may be baked into the stock launcher, so it could be useful... then again the screen is also smaller. Very user dependent based on hand/finger size lol.

3D Touch on Iphone is pressure sensitive whereas on Pixel you get different options depending how long you touch screen. I presume long press gives option to add widgets from individual apps where supported.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Serpine:
Hello everyone,

I've got a huge problem with my s7 edge. It started betweend first and second week of usage of my s7 edge, phone got totally freezed and only volume down + power could do something with my phone. After few weeks later, freezes were very annoying, very often (2-10 times per day) and it took longer to reboot my phone. I decided to download oficcial unbranded software from sammobile, I've flashed my phone with 5 files using odin and do full wipe. When my phone booted it was ok for maybe 2 hours and again, freeze! Ok, so press volume down + power... It boots! But after few hours later, (phone was 80%+ battery) I tried to check recent notifications, took my phone, pressed power button... and nothing happens. Trying to hold volume down + power for longer than 10s and also nothing happens. Phone is not charging and when connected to computer, I can hear a sound that something is connected, but windows says that my device is not working properly. When holding volume down + power, I can hear again sound of disconnecting and connecting device again. It's now almost 24hrs from this freeze. Phone is completely dead. After I got up from bed, pressed volume down + power again and I saw GALAXY S7 edge on my screen, but again, freeze and nothing happens for maybe 10 minutes, so again, volume down + power and phone is dead again. Nothing happens...

If you experienced simillar problem or have any solutions, please help!

Cheers!
