[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kha1rul:
Hi all,

I have flashed a pre-rooted 14.6.A.0.368 on my phone with Locked Bootloader, and that is the firmware version on my phone at the moment.

Sony is offering me an OTA update, but I do not want to lose root, so I downloaded FlashFire but the app does not automatically detect the OTA file. I have managed to track the file down to /sdcard/recovery/update_package but FlashFire does not recognise the file as an OTA package (presumably because it doesn't have a file extension). Adding a .zip extension to the file reveals that it is not a ZIP.

What options are available for me to upgrade to the latest official firmware and retain root? (Or lose and regain it?)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Personally, I would try making a backup, and dirty flash a pre-rooted .236, (if you're trying to save data, if not, just wipe everything and flash 236) If that didn't work, use Titanium to backup, then flash 236, then restore.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kha1rul:
Lol, I only just realised how stupid my question was! Managed to easily find the 236 PRF here from the same dev [MENTION=5699223]Mirhawk[/MENTION].

Thanks for the help!

Hey

I seen this issue before but can't find where I read it now.

My redmi note 3 pro has been unlocked and I have CM13 flashed.

Everytime I unplug my phone from the charger my screen goes from black to home screen over and over again.

This has also been happening more recently when I unlock my phone with my fingerprint.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] Duc Viet:
Hi everyone,

I just got my Xperia Z5 Compact from my dad, but the problem is that I can not get 4G signal with Rogers Canada. My Z5 Compact was bought from the US

I asked support from Rogers and they said since Rogers does not carry the Xperia Z5 Compact, and my sim is working properly with other phones, they cannot offer me help.

My phone current settings:

- Preferred network type: LTE (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM

- Rogers LTE - Itemobile.apn

Can someone help me? Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Check if the bands and frequencies of your carrier match the bands and frequencies supported by the device. There is more to it than just it being 4G LTE. If bands and frequencies don't match, it won't work.

Also, your radio/modem may not be compatible. Some devices that move to a different network have to flash a modem to work on the other network. That doesn't mean that a compatible modem is available for your device though. Some devices switching networks have to live without 4G because the device hardware just doesn't support what the network has regardless of what software you apply.

I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS FOR EVERYONE TO SHARE
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
A USA purchased X5 Compact has all the LTE bands that Rogers uses. As long as the APN settings are correct (and I'd assume that these settings come from the SIM card), the phone should work. Does it work otherwise, just not with 4G?

How do I save to sd card in lieu of internal storage?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] kal250:
Adopted storage is definitely a wierd implementation, apps still need to support sd storage before they will sucessfully install on sd card. You can format sd as portable storage and still store pictures, etc on card. In my opinion if Android is giving you the option to format a card as internal, then all apps and data should be able to transfer to sd, rather than only apps coded for sd.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] cefaas:
I use adoptable storage in mixed mode (50/50 % of my 64gb) 32 for expanded internal and 32gb for portable storage.

I think i am going with S7 Edge. I thought about the Pixel but its not availability directly through tmo so cant use Jump.

As for the V20, yea the specs are good but i am m not really a fan of design. It looks huge so its prob not easy to hold like the N7.

So yea S7 edge for me until next year Note 8?

This whole fiasco really sucksss big time. Only good thing is all the free gifts i have which i m giving away to people.

I even convinced a coworker to ditch her iphone when she was due for an upgrade, now i feel like an ass.

And when she asked what she should do i told her to either go back to iphone or the S7 Edge.

On a less serious note, could it be they are cursed for skipping the 6? I call it the Galaxy Note 7 Saga: The Curse of the Six.

I'm thinking v20 but the whole bootloop situation with lg phones has me thinking twice.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] XooLoo:
OnePlus 3. Ordered mine after the first recall because I was reminded of the importance of having a reliable backup. I've owned every Note since the original one. So to say that I'm disappointed by all of this is an understatement. However, I can tell you that OnePlus 3 has some fantastic custom ROM here on xda, and I've been rocking one since I got it, and it's pretty fantastic. I'm on my replacement Note 7 now, but have been playing with OnePlus 3 as a backup (and oh boy am I happy I've been doing that now that returning the Note). The difference in screen resolution, to me, is noticeable. Same thing about the camera quality. The battery life with the custom ROM on it at least is almost the same and maybe a little bit better than my replacement, and now rooted and de-bloated Note 7. It's completely lag-free. Doesn't heat up as much as any Note I've ever owned especially 5. My original Note 7 would heat up really badly--104° F while regular charging. My replacement Note 7 hasn't gone over 92 even which is an absolute shame considering the impending recall thing.

Anyhow, at $400 you cannot possibly go wrong with OnePlus 3.

PS. Oh and I also did I try S7 Edge and ewwww. No way hahaha

I'd probably be ok with an S7, but at this point I'm fairly annoyed with Samsung. ZTE Axon 7 doesn't look bad, or maybe a OnePlus 3. I was interested in the Pixel until I saw the price and those gigantic bezels (and onscreen buttons wtf). I used a LG flagship a year ago and it was so bad I don't trust that company.

I never thought about Samsung sending out an update that will possibly shut our phones down and make sure they wont power back on..:crying:. It would be very difficult to use my phone with that big 1 on my setting icon. Let's hope it doesn't come down to that point. In the mean time I'm holding on to my N7 for as long as possible. At what point will T-Mobile care if I still have the N7? Also in the mean time I'm still going to be charged $32.50 a month. If Samsung and T-Mobile really don't want us to use it they will send out an update and disable the phone and stop charging us for the phone...but that wont happen. :(

I waited all year with my 6P for the Note 7 and Samsung got it right, such a great phone, minutes this battery issue.

Guess it's the pixel for me. Don't like the V20 that much and don't want to wait for the next Huawei flagship.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dirtymindedx:
The rumors of Samsung making batteries charge 60% only and this whole green icon bs just makes you think what other thing will push through an required Update. Personally I think all this blow up phone stuff is to sink a major player. Maybe note 8 won't be so expensive with Samsung trying to gain back customers!

Well Samsung, it has been a good run. Been getting 2 phones or more a year since the S2. Time to look at Apple's (i hate itunes :( )or Google's offerings. Sadly I can't get the configuration that I want of either until late November. I am really at a loss of what to do at the moment. I just know it wont be an s7e or Note 5.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chivamex10:
If you want to go through your carrier your choices are very slim

1. LG V20 (lg sweetening the deal with a pair of B&O Play H3 earphones)

2. Samsung Galaxy 7/7 edge

3. iPhone 7/7 plus

If you have the luxury of cashing out on a phone full price I'd say Google Pixel XL, Nexus 6p or OnePlus 3. Moto Z puré edition is a great alternative too.

I decided that if I could find a brand new Note 5, that would be my replacement. I rushed out yesterday morning and got the last Note 5 from T-Mobile in northern Colorado.

I really liked my Note 7, and hated to give it up. My replacement decision was simply based on my dependency on the stylus and less of a need for the microSD expandable memory.

Got the s7e. Since it's a n7exchange it won't affect the jump so will hold onto this then jump to what ever I feel is best ( note 8). S7e is by far the best phone as a replacement if you liked you n7. Some slight UI differences and no spen but that's it

I'm having a tough time deciding as well. I have owned a Samsung since the s3 and all Note devices since note 3. As it is right now. I'm leaning toward the v20 but I'm trying to decide between that and s7e. I checked out v10 in store and I really wasn't impressed with the display at all, actually looked terrible but I'm hoping it was just bc it was a demo model. If it comes out that v20 has FM radio I'm def gonna grab that. Can't seem to find a definitive answer about it yet. I know it's a weird thing to want but I love the FM radio on my Note 7, I really am loving this phone and am going to hate giving it up.
