[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mch277:
Hey all,

I've had the Z5 for a year now and one thing about it just bugs me. This might just be me but I'm sure all of you have noticed this as well. In almost every other phone (iPhone, Galaxy, LG, etc.) the camera preview (basically the live feed of the camera when you're in the app) is pretty much what the picture is going to look like.

I don't find that this is the case on the Z5. I was in Japan for a few days this past summer and got a chance to use a family friend's Xperia Z2 (NTT Docomo carrier branded). It was still on KitKat, but the camera app was absolutely buttery smooth and the feed looked good. The pictures taken with my Z5 look great after they process, don't get me wrong, but the camera feed quality in-app is just downright awful, not to mention the camera as a whole is a bit laggy. For something with an 810 I don't think this is a hardware limitation.

Don't know if most people even notice this or consider it an issue but it'd be nice to have some sort of solution (I've found nothing on this after many online/Google searches).

Edit: Don't know why this was moved to troubleshooting. It's not just a thing that I'm experiencing, it's all Z5s.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascus:
I don't own a z5 but I saw your post on reddit anyway.

I'm basing my knowledge on my experience messing with camera on my Z3 compact.

Regarding the low quality preview, the preview resolution could be just set too low with the QCameraParameters::setPreviewSize function. You could probably manually set it in the Camera apk.

Buttery smooth viewfinder has to do with preview fps, could maybe be controlled in apk as well or at firmware level. Some phones were lucky enough to just have text files to edit parameters.

Anyway, if you don't know how to mess with either then there's nothing you can do, otherwise someone else with your phone can have a look at it (if anyone cares :P).
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mch277:
Thank you. Viewfinder was the correct term I was looking for. I did some digging with that term and found out that on Z2 4.4.2, the viewfinder FPS was not limited/60, and they apparently decreased after the update to 4.4.4. I think The Z3 series and onwards have all had the viewfinder FPS software-limited, maybe for heat/battery reasons.

People who never cared about this might care after seeing the video above^. I really want to see if there's enough interest in the subreddit or on these forums to maybe get some edited parameters for the camera APK. I don't expect Sony to change this in any future update though, especially with how prone to overheating the 810 is. Thanks for the insight.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] dev_shady:
Hi, I am really confused. I have read that Moto G4 Plus is suffering from various issues like heating too much while turbo charging, ghost touch , display problem and even some hardware problems with in one week of buying, especially from Indian users. So If some out there has moto g4 plus and using it, it would really helpful if he/she could share the experience and suggest that should I buy it or there is some better alternative for the same price range.

Thank You.

I have ordered the phone but I have the option to cancel it. so Please help me out.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] violet.tester128:
I don't think the phone suffers from any serious issues. Sure, ghost touch is an issue. But you can avoid it in two ways:

1) Avoid using it when charging. It is manageable, given it has QuickCharge and charges fast.

2) Using a 5.2V 1.35A Asus adapter, I rarely have the problem. Try a similar adapter.

As far as heating is concerned, there is a difference between the phone getting warm, and it being a frying pan. With my usage pattern (constant internet use, occasional photography), it does not heat up uncomfortably. Maybe so when I use it when plugged in the TurboPower adapter, but the previous solutions are applicable here too.

Apart from these, my display does not suffer from any issues that I noticed. NONE. Same can be said about the remaining hardware.

I don't know if later batches of the phone have any issues (I got one from the earliest batches).

One issue (more like a S/W bug) is when occasionally, touching the fingerprint sensor does not unlock the phone. If I wave my hand over the proximity sensor (or just touch it once), the fingerprint sensor works fine. It is most probably due to a bug in the part of the S/W which prevents the fingerprint sensor working when inside your pocket.

It may be fixed in any future updates.

To sum up, I am very satisfied with the hardware. I understand others may disagree, but it's my opinion.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] ca_guri01:
But it works on my device, i placed my hand on screen and covering half of the screen, then placed finger on fingerprint scanner and it unlocks the phone... ?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] violet.tester128:
It works on mine too after I cover and leave the proximity sensor. I wrote the same thing before :good:

[Mi 3 Android Development] ydd0ras:
Just wiping...and flashing this...so curious!
[Mi 3 Android Development] ydd0ras:
[MENTION=6597749]shahan_[/MENTION]mik3. Now restored all of my apps. Have found no bug, but this:

On the initial setup I had to set up my google account, otherwise couldn't skip and proceed. Nothing else, very nice. Have to test more. You haven't promised to much. Just one question: can I get substratum to work? Masquerade is not pre-installed. Thanks for nice work.
[Mi 3 Android Development] Shahan_mik3:
Yes u can but it will work in legacy (layers)
[Mi 3 Android Development] ydd0ras:
thanks, will check that later!
[Mi 3 Android Development] Anarchy16:
bugs on prompt permission

need to enable manually in apps info

other than that, its a nice rom :svetius:

thanks dev ;)
[Mi 3 Android Development] yever:
downloading now.

One question: is video recording working using stock camera?
[Mi 3 Android Development] ydd0ras:
No, but with the Footej Camera
[Mi 3 Android Development] rightpp86:
Yes, the prompted screen is too narrow, cannot press allow or deny buttons.
[Mi 3 Android Development] yever:
The long standing CM WIFI/bluetooth MAC address bug is still there. I was hoping it will be fixed in nougat.
[Mi 3 Android Development] Shahan_mik3:
Give it permission

Settings>apps> app name > enable all
[Mi 3 Android Development] Shahan_mik3:
This I never checked.... Will have a look when free.
[Mi 3 Android Development] Shahan_mik3:
This is not going to be fixed anytime soon
[Mi 3 Android Development] yever:
wow..that was a fast reply....thanks.
[Mi 3 Android Development] ydd0ras:
Hey mate, can you explain this bug? What do you exactly mean? Many thanks
[Mi 3 Android Development] yever:
Basically, WIFI MAC address stuck at 00:0a:f5:b1:a8:c8, and BT MAC address stuck at 00:00:00:00:5a:ad

Both WIFI and BT still work. But if you have more than one devices with the same address, you will have problem.
[Mi 3 Android Development] ydd0ras:
Fast reply as well. Never faced that issue. Thx!
[Mi 3 Android Development] aces170:
Am on 29th October build. Dunno if this is a bug but in notification tiles if I press on WiFi it brings up the menu instead of switching on. Similar for mobile data, this wasn't the case in mm roms.

Fantastic update, thx
[Mi 3 Android Development] mukesh:
The latest build working fine. In the last 12 hours one instance of phone not waking up. Tried pressing power button/ volume buttons. No effect. Had to reboot.
[Mi 3 Android Development] juanrra242:
MI4W ,Awesome battery time!

Send to screen doesnt work in my case , it doesnt find my tv .It does with others ROMS.

Is this a known issue?

Fantastic work.
[Mi 3 Android Development] Ramabi77:
i hope you haven't clean flash, it can be fixed by enabling fancy transition iirc
[Mi 3 Android Development] vignesh0302:
pixel launcher problems

after using gapps from november 1st swipe to google works
[Mi 3 Android Development] mukesh:
Happened again. Phone went into deep sleep. Needed reboot. Going back to MM.
[Mi 3 Android Development] ydd0ras:
Slow charging here, nothing else at the moment
[Mi 3 Android Development] shailuk301:
Yes I agree slow charging is present.
[Mi 3 Android Development] smh.saad:
even charging led working when connect charger ..need to force reboot the device experienced this twice
[Mi 3 Android Development] vignesh0302:
front camera resolution is low

Mi 4 can record videos through front camera upto 1080p 30fps, but in this rom it is capped to 720p 30 fps, can you guys somehow find a way to increase that, please
[Mi 3 Android Development] ukicar:
here as well :(

besides that, excellent rom.
[Mi 3 Android Development] mukesh:
Agreed, rom is exceptional but it is very frustrating when the phone does not wake up and you lose precious time in getting it going again especially when it happens twice in 24 hours.
[Mi 3 Android Development] Dashur7:
My device just reboots by it self when it's in my pocket or in deep sleep (I see the "Settings applied" notification by Kernel Auditor) happened twice today.
[Mi 3 Android Development] Shahan_mik3:
New build is up:

*The issues few users are facing should be fixed.

*Kernel bumped to 3.4.113

*Upstream change from cm and bs

Download link as usual in OP

Note:

Snapdragon caf cam will be readded in next build based on latest tag.

Beanstalk bootanimation is almost complete. Thanks to my buddy [MENTION=4012336]biepurity[/MENTION] :)
[Mi 3 Android Development] mukesh:
The rebooting is most annoying. Request Shahan to take cognizance of this widely reported bug. The auto reboot makes the ROM unusable as daily driver.
[Mi 3 Android Development] Shahan_mik3:
check the latest build.
[Mi 3 Android Development] ydd0ras:
Thx boss! Downloading!
[Mi 3 Android Development] ukicar:
just want to check ... is it everything okay with kernel adiutor in last build?

I can not get root access.
[Mi 3 Android Development] rahulkamma14:
New build is good. Only problem is slow charging and random reboots. This reboot problem is annoying. I hope you'll look into it. Thanks for the amazing rom. Great work
[Mi 3 Android Development] campa89:
Very good last build, two problem are present: low charging with phone On, if you switch phone OFF charging is fast and lost root access
[Mi 3 Android Development] aces170:
What I notice is slow charging with phone on but a restart suddenly increases battery level. From 25% odd to 60%. Maybe my battery is dying, the phone is lasting me through the day though
[Mi 3 Android Development] Kresnakafila:
Using last build I found that all my sensor not working,

How to fix this ??

I am using clean install btw.

Advanced reboot

With advanced reboot "ON" in the Developer Options, the options for rebooting into recovery/ bootloader/ soft reboot are not shown/ available in the power menu.

no such issue in 8/11 build so smooth so far
[Mi 3 Android Development] Prashanth Meesara::
Hey guys I need a short review

How's the performance, charging speed and camera? Minute glitches are not a issue. Waiting for reply.

Is installing custom kernel necessary for any issue fixing? or stock one is good?

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

please answer my questions..
[Mi 3 Android Development] hari_hazz:
No reboot issue

perfomance smoooth

battery life worst only 3.30hrs without any gaming

marginal heating issue

no charging speed issue (normally charging with 1A CHARGER at 1100ma)

i have not tried with custom kernal so far(coz redhankat has touchscreen problem and zeurionx has battery drain issue on the last build so i have not triend in it)

camera does a decent job no prob at all

except battery SOT its a huge stable rom for daily driver
[Mi 3 Android Development] mukesh:
Had another reboot today. Sequence of events:

Tried to connect Bluetooth earphone. Phone did not detect the device.

Tried to open settings, instead got a blank white screen

After some 15 seconds the phone went into reboot

After the reboot the Bluetooth paired and connected

It seems the reboot cannot be tied to any particular event. It just reboots on its own.
[Mi 3 Android Development] Prashanth Meesara::
Well looks like worth a try. And to confirm once again is this the build you're using?

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767112777
[Mi 3 Android Development] hari_hazz:
yeah ...that one
[Mi 3 Android Development] mukesh:
yes, this very ROM
[Mi 3 Android Development] Prashanth Meesara::
Forgot to ask is offline charging(charging while powered off) working?
[Mi 3 Android Development] mukesh:
Seems it is working. When I switched off the phone to check offline charging the battery %age was 37. Switched off the phone and put it to charge. The battery %age it showed was 15%. A big mismatch between offline and online values. After sometime switched on the phone. The battery %age in status bar was 47%.
[Mi 3 Android Development] mukesh:
Had another random reboot today. The app News and Weather was open when it rebooted.
[Mi 3 Android Development] Shahan_mik3:
Looks like November security patch f**cked up a lot.
[Mi 3 Android Development] hari_hazz:
waiting for ur new build bro.,in this rom antutu score only 44k+ ..,but in your previeous build i got more than 57k+ and also have better battery life....,also during the night the phone goes into deep sleep which consume power

[Mi 3 Android Development] rahulkamma14:
Yes.
[Mi 3 Android Development] mukesh:
This is a common bug reported by many members. See earlier posts. Let us hope this gets sorted out in the next version.
[Mi 3 Android Development] Prashanth Meesara::
Short review and bug report of 8/11 build.

Performance is smooth, no camera issues, no wifi issues, charging speed is fine, battery life is same as before.

one annoying bug is when using bluetooth it reboots and randomly starts rebooting again and again , need to hardreboot once to fix this, other than that no issues so far faced. Excellent rom.
[Mi 3 Android Development] mukesh:
Even a hard reboot does not resolve the random reboot. I have been rebooting every day for last couple of days but there is no improvement.
[Mi 3 Android Development] Prashanth Meesara::
Haven't faced single reboot after turning off Bluetooth
[Mi 3 Android Development] mukesh:
Turning off BT is not ok with me as MI3 is my primary phone and I use BT while driving. And I am not sure if BT is responsible for reboots as I had reboots even when the BT was off.
[Mi 3 Android Development] rahulkamma14:
Yes I had reboots when I switched off Bluetooth
[Mi 3 Android Development] Prashanth Meesara::
Few more bugs noticed

While transferring files via USB phone reboots

While sending files using share it phone reboots , may be because of turning on hotspot.
[Mi 3 Android Development] Pandotaz:
Lots of reboots, mostly hapoen when my phone is in my pocket And i want to see time, but it has restarted. Sometimes, still in my pocket the phone turn off, And i have to power It, happens when my phone just sits in my pocket...

Battery life is terrible, no charging speed issues.

App installer crashes when opening apk from notification.

There is also bug with notifications, dont know how to make It, but i am Getting It sometimes, that notification is over the quick tiles in fully ecaoned notification page.

(Sometimes notification page bugs a lot.)

Laggy animation in sidebar in settings apps, does somebody know how to fix that? Happening only with this animation, for example It happens in google Translator etc.

No vibration control, need to use 3rd party app to control It.

I include video, if somebody knows how to fix that pls tell me. I mean the laggy animation, happens in apps which uses this animation.

(Cannot include video because of XDA protection, but you can test for yourself)
[Mi 3 Android Development] Shahan_mik3:
New build up:

Upstream bs and cm changes.

New bootanimation

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224398435

Note: all the issues are due to upstream changes from cm and not rom related they are present on all cancro roms except aosp. Hopefully it should be better now
[Mi 3 Android Development] Pandotaz:
Thanks, do you recommend clean install?
[Mi 3 Android Development] Shahan_mik3:
Dirty should be enough
[Mi 3 Android Development] Pandotaz:
