[Samsung Gear Fit] presbro:
Hi, I've been having a problem with my GF2 as it's completely unable to get a GPS signal when not connected to my phone.

I called Samsung UK and they told me that the problem is because I bought the GF2 in the US. They claim the device is region locked which sounds very unlikely to me. Certainly I can't imagine how that would prevent a GPS lock.

I've got Software Version R360XXU1BPG3 and a Serial Number R5AH606TDAK - can anyone with a European band confirm they have the same?

Has anyone in Europe managed to get a GF2 bought in the US to get a GPS signal?
[Samsung Gear Fit] venki5star:
Not sure about the region locking thing. I have ordered mine from US and will be getting it today (Australia). I will let you know after I test the band.
[Samsung Gear Fit] venki5star:
I am using the US bought Fit2 in Sydney, Australia for last 24 hours. I don't have any problem in GPS signal. But the thing I noticed is, it takes sometime to lock on the signal. If you have connected your smartphone, it tries to use the GPS of the device incase it didn't able to connect directly.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Gear Fit] presbro:
Well, in the interests of experimenting I bought a UK GF2. It has the same software but a different serial number R5AH905K4TT.

This one gets a GPS lock (eventually) when not connected to the phone.

I still find it hard to believe a region lock could prevent a device getting a GPS fix. I'm inclined to think it's much more likely I've got a defective unit. I'll have to return it as/when I'm next in the US!

Trying to figure out if I should root my galaxy s6. Idk what rims are the best, if I should just stay with the systems update? So what do guys think I should do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dcjamies:
No root available for VZW SGS6, unless you are running an older version of Android. Very little development out there for our phone because of locked bootloader and no current root. Sorry to dash your hopes.

Yep, **** this phone.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rossyl:
Hi

Just wondering how those running Stock Firmware 32.2.A.0.305 have found the phone to be working?

Any issues or improvements with:

- battery life

- overheating

- phone/wifi signal

- fingerprint sensor

- camera photo quality

- Bluetooth music jitter

Or anything else?

Thanks

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] harry_turtle:
I'm running Heptyle's kernel, .305 Custom DE and debloated with script.

I haven't reached conclusions yet but so far I think my battery life is better than .253

During app installation (clean installation) I got the feeling it ran less hot.

No further differences until now regarding to your other items.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rossyl:
I'm only going to run STOCK I'm not going to root the phone.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] flopower1996:
Nothing special here.

Volume for notifications got fixed. And security level is aug 2016 (shame on Sony)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] greenkabbage:
The option to enable the google now pane in the Xperia Launcher (beta?) is back. Note that I did join that Google+ group for getting beta updates of the Launcher.

Camera format settings were reset for me after the upgrade. The version of the app is now 1.0.C.2.7 but I didn't check before the upgrade what it was.

So far it's been smooth, but nothing notably new.

Feels just about the same in all regards
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rossyl:
I'm running 32.2.A.0.224 and heard bad things about .253 so have not updated.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kevjs1982:
I upgraded to the latest one (.305) from EE (UK) on Thursday, and accidently bricked the device (took over an hour to upgrade and so I forgot it was upgrading - d'oh) so have ended up with a clean install.

- battery life : At this time of the day I used to be at 52% (.253), currently 80% (has been off charge for 5 hours so far), was pretty poor for the first two days while Google Play music was hammering the WiFi connection downloading music (why can't it see what's already on the SD Card - argh!), but still an improvement of .253 which was appalling.

It used to be that Google Play Services and Android System were the top users by a country mile - today it's Screen (27%) and Beyond Pod (9%)

- overheating : Certainly running cooler

- phone/wifi signal : No issues before or since

- fingerprint sensor : No issues before or since

- camera photo quality : No issues before or since

- Bluetooth music jitter : As solid as it has been since the last upgrade, i.e. Bluetooth is problem free, Wired occasionally jitters approx 20 minutes after losing Wifi.

Or anything else?

WiFi Calling still temperamental (i.e. needing a reboot), less of an issue for me now I have VoLTE and new masts cover work and home better.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rossyl:
Thanks very much for that excellent and detailed response
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rwhryz:
I hope this will fix things. On .253 I'm having issues with the finger print scanner, saying hardware is unavailable after long periods of not using the phone. Also, the camera crashes when trying to take a video. gifs and videos on apps such as facebook or youtube doesn't play too. Restart fixes things but it's annoying that I have to do it at the start of the day, every single day. Would love to hear from somebody with same issues who upgraded from .253
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] MiracleMiah:
I updated to this and done a factory reset (I always do this after installing new update). My device for more than 10 hours now has problem with volume.

If I play any music (on full volume) for more than 1 seconds the volume level is reduced dramatically. My phone has never been in contact with water or anything. As of now I have turned the phone off/on and still no difference. I have used Google Play, Spotify and the same problem occurs.

On the other hand it doesn't heat up. Battery life seems a tad better if I recall so far. Other than that no difference apart from a message I got about battery charging.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TrulloF:
Seems to be the hearing protection. New build.prop in .305 is without persist.audio.hp entry. Just re-add it to build.prop (persist.audio.hp=false), reboot and should be working again (you need to be rooted).
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rossyl:
Di you have Root?

Ever have problems before?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TrulloF:
Yes, I'm rooted (just check tobias waldvogels rootkernel thread), but you need to have unlocked bootloader first (don't forget to make TA backup!).
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] redavenger:
i found that the phone gets warm (more than previous firmware) when browsing the web using chrome.

i noticed that the sony email client doesnt check/update as quickly enough compared to previous firmware.

i did notice couple of things have been fixed, but my overall suspicion of this firmware is that it introduces more issues than it fixed.

also some kind of security has been introduced to stop you from hiding apps such as the quick apps bar.

im also curious why sony introduced that "battery optimization"? has it to do with maybe the batteries starting to bubble hence causing the back cover to crack? so by reducing the charge amount it sort of stops that from happening?

im also running stock firmware.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] 4ty-phive:
I would appreciate you come back w/ a review after a month of usage. If you have been using Android for a significant amount of time, then you know that it's always good in the beginning. I don't think much stock should be put in a review done after a day besides ease of installation and (maybe) initial impressions, imho
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] redavenger:
ive gone back to .253 firmware. this previous version seems to work much better on my australian z5 compact.

no heating issues. battery is better. email app works better etc. etc.

yes it does have the annoying low volume and a issue with the sms app (when trying to add certain photos). but overall to me it works better than .305 version.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Baron1971:
Which Script you are using to debloat?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] --jenana--:
A few weeks ago, I tried this. From [MENTION=4695495]FcukBloat[/MENTION]

But for me it didn't work. When I flashed, I got a message that the zip was corrupt (which I can't believe, and it's not the first time this happened). And I also had a problem with Online Nandroid, so in the end I had to redo it.

This time, I just did manually what the script should automate. Next time I'll figure out how to build it myself, if I'm smart enough.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kevjs1982:
So after a week of 305 vs 253 - I've managed to get through to the end of the day without needing to charge one or twice throughout the day every single day, the phone is running much cooler (i.e. most of the time there is no heat detectable), and is also less laggy, especially when launching the camera. Battery life is getting better by the day too - now at 60% (after being off charger for 12.5 hours) with Google Play Music, twitter, and an hour of MapMyWalk (so GPS usage) - on 253 I'd have been below 20% at this point of the day. :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Superrman:
im also going pure stock unrooted locked bootloader ,at least till warranty void anyway\ OR the phone become really slow for some reason, and root will help

example: this phone got only 2GB RAM which very bad multitasking , and heavy apps like CSR2 left my phone with only 200MB .

so i guess il need more Swapfile\Z-ram @1s

BTW

305 still didn't released in my state anyone got idea how to check when it will come out? it is possible?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Saaber:
They introduced that with the Z3 compact's Concept Marshmallow firmware. It's just supposed to increase the battery's lifespan by not charging it to 100% every time. My guess is that most people on XDA would never keep a phone long enough for its battery to not hold a charge, but some people, like my wife, definitely would.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] redavenger:
hmm ok. i always though that its better to charge a battery all the way to 100% and then leave it to trickle charge.

and wouldnt the battery life decrease if you have to charge it more often with this "battery optimization" option.

for me after i charge the phone to 100% it lasts me about 4-5 days on the .253 firmware, but on .305 i noticed it couldbe maybe 3-4 days...meaning i would have to recharge the battery often, in turn increase the amount of charge cycles and in turn decreasing the battery life?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] paq1170:

No, there is not. There is no way that just flashing twrp can affect your fingerprint reader. Last rime you did it you must have flashed something else in addition to twrp.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GCalzo:
I have 3 Moto G2 as follow:

the eldest has s/n xxxxx2767F, 5.0 on factory, upgraded to 6.0, baseband MSM8626BP_1032.3116.99.00R EMEA_DSDS_CUST, kernel 3.4.42-gef77327 jan 6 12:29:54 CST 2016, system 24.41.34.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03.reteu, build MPB24.65-34

the midle has s/n xxxxx2W3ZZ, 5.0 on factory, upgraded to 6.0, baseband MSM8626BP_1032.3116.99.00R EMEA_DSDS_CUST, kernel 3.4.42-gef77327 jan 6 12:29:54 CST 2016, system 24.41.34.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03.reteu, build MPB24.65-34

the newest has s/n xxxxx39DQ6, 6.0 on factory, baseband MSM8626BP_1032.3116.99.00R EMEA_DSDS_CUST, kernel 3.4.42-gef77327 jan 6 12:29:54 CST 2016, system 24.41.34.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03.reteu, build MPB24.65-34

Basically the first two are almost identical and very close having only the last 4 digits differents on s/n. No one has never been unlocked and just had the official Motorola's OTA updates

My problem is that 1st and 3rd have the google's clock in firmware with package name com.google.android.deskclock while the 2d has in firmware a package named com.android.deskclock!

On the store there is no https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.deskclock but there is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.deskclock!!

The 1st and the 3rd always had the correct updates up to the current one, the 2nd never got (obviously) an update and:

back on Lollipop, manually installing the store's one was messing the clock's configuration and then Google Play constantly reported that the app needs to be updated

now on Marshmallow, manually installing the store's one seems to work correcly, but for Google Play the app is not installed so it cannot be removed. To remove it I must go into the app's details from Settings and then select Uninstall updates.

Question is: how can be possible to have in firmware on 2nd Moto G2 the same app with a different package name that actually doesn't exist???
