[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sestic:
Hi guys i have a simple question. I really would like to flash this rom http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/development/rom-existenz-ultimate-1-0-0-light-dark-t2779949. It is looking very well. Right now i have lolipop on my xperia. Can I flash this rom straight away from my lolipop or should i downgrade it first to stock kitkat rom? http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-10-5-1-0-283-t2912254 (stock rom i'm talkin about).

Sorry for such a stupid question I just want to make sure cause i'm doing it for the very first time. I have rooted device without a recovery yet so should i begin with recovery and proceed to flash custom rom or to flash stock rom first. Thank you in advance for answer.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerikwan:
if your bootloader is locked.. yes, you can

note that you need to install recovery, wipe all (cache, dalvik cache, system, data) before flashing..

that means clean flash

but it's always nice to revert to stock before flashing custom or stock-based custom rom to make sure everything is in good shape

Hello everyone, I have passed the mod on from the moto x pure edition that I found on a style forum a few years back, well, I have transfered it to this phone as well and thought I would share. I never really like the Ascending Ringtones and notifications. So this will fix that issue.

1. Download the link from below.

2. flash in TWRP

3. Enjoy! No more annoying ascending notifications.

Thank you very much
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SoNic67:
This issue was so maddening for me. Why everyone think they know better than us what we want??? I don't want Ascending tones, in the past that was a selection that we can make, On or Off.

Now Lenovo/Google decided that there should be no choice, for us. Luckily we have developers to think differently, but it is just sad.

Day by day I am wondering, why I even resist anymore? Just join the Apple looneytunes, buy an iPhone and be happy with it...

Thank you very much!! It solved my problem until Nugat is released.

I guess I am not getting the purpose for this. I can turn off ascending ringtones on my phone from settings/sound/Increasing ring volume /on/off. Or am I missing something here? :confused:
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr.Alani:
Which model is your phone?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PashaF:
Pulled the trigger during the flash sale on Tuesday and received it on Friday morning.

The look, touch, and feel of the phone is just awesome - despite being slightly bigger than my previous phone (HTC One M8). I like the polished metal body, getting used to the fingerprint sensor and feel that the camera is adequate for the price point of this phone. Definitely worths $326 (includes tax) for an unlocked Snapdragon 821 phone.

The phone is responsive, quick, and has sharp colors. Software (OS) is not as bad as expected, based on other "professional" reviews. Since I restored my setting from Google during the phone setup, I had Google Now launcher right away. I've uninstalled it temporarily to get the feel of the native OS, but didn't appreciate it much.

So running it with Google Now Launcher is as good as it gets. However, it will take some time getting used to some limitations - lack of quick settings, which have been moved to the recent apps menu; removal of the search functionality in Settings, lackluster notifications- definitely needs some polishing.

Despite earlier negative reports, Android Pay works just fine right out of the box.

So far, I have only three problems. I think they are related to sub par Bluetooth and USB drivers on the phone, and something weird with the IR blaster.

1. Android Auto wouldn't connect/work.

My car (2016 VW Passat) sees the phone when connected, but unable to connect. My other two Android phones have no issues connecting. I've noticed that upon connecting, the phone switches to USB charging only mode and disables other options for me.

I called Le Eco - they've asked me to be patient and wait for an upcoming update; however, they didn't provide any dates.

2. The other problem I've noticed is with Bluetooth streaming to (the same) car. Sometimes, it skips-coughs for a millisecond. It happens constantly on both LTE and WiFi connections.

3. IR blaster does not work. I've installed and tested multiple apps to no avail. My favorite one SURE remote control is listed as incompatible, so I had to install an APK instead; however, as I've stated it didn't work.

Edit: Got it to work with their built-in Remote app. Works for generic devices (TV, Amplifier); however, is missing DirectTV box - again, needs polishing for the US market. I had to manually add commands to it. It is unfortunate that it is proprietary IR blaster.

I'll be patient for a few weeks and if there is no resolution, I'll return the phone to Le Eco.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tranemonk33:
Thanks so much. What kind of Screen on time are you getting for battery life? How is the screen itself?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] HewettBR:
I think the it blaster is proprietary and doesn't use the standard sdk
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PashaF:
Hard to say as I've been "abusing" the phone for the last couple of days, i.e. installing, restoring, configuring.

It will easily last for a full day under such "abuse" :)

I like the screen; however, I can't compare it to OLED, as I don't have an OLED phone.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] orangekid1:
How is the sound compare to HTC M8/M9 coming out of the bottom 2 speakers?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PashaF:
To be honest, I never use phone speakers - either Bluetooth or headphones for me.

It sounds OK - can't complain.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] HewettBR:
I've decided I'll probably keep the phone and hope they allow it to be unlocked. Worst case I'll sell it later on. The most important thing to me right now is battery life and if I can email and talk all day without a charge that's worth it to me.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PashaF:
I agree, though we'd lose Android Pay.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] fuzz_33594:
My phone is scheduled for delivery tomorrow and I am struggling with the decision to even open the package because the bootloader of the US version cannot be unlocked. Your impressions make that decision a little harder. ☺️ I have never bought a phone I couldn't root. Thanks for taking the time to post.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] dr4stic:
Current word on this feature is that it doesn't actually do anything, and bootloader unlocking is still not possible on the US models. The Galaxy S7 on T-Mobile has the same issue. It has the menu option but the menu option doesn't actually do anything. People were very upset and complained, and then t-mobile said they'd fix it, and then nothing happened.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] e36bmer:
So far, my impressions are that the camera is possibly the worst I've used in maybe the last 4 phones I've had. Also, the gold color isn't my favorite, being nearly a rose gold. Aside from that, the software isn't bad (I'm using Nova Launcher), the audio is great, phone feels great, screen is nice, battery lasts. Really, just that camera is killing me though, I feel like I'm back to my nexus 4, which was good for 2013, but not today. Here are a couple pics I took with my iPhone 6s and Le Pro 3 back to back. I tried a dark pic this morning w/ the lights off and then outside with only dappled light. I'm sure you can guess which is which. (hint: iPhone looks better)
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] dr4stic:
Wow... that's pretty friggin horrible. No offense of course. I didn't expect it to be great, but that's pretty sad. Thanks for posting the pics.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] DxTcmix:
I think alot of the camera issues can be fixed with an update, or another camera app. The IMX298 is a very good camera sensor (same as OP3)
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] e36bmer:
I've tried several apps and get the same results. I'd like to see an update. I get pretty similar results with every photo outside of perfect conditions.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] taphius:
Mine are not nearly that bad

http://imgur.com/a/LW0Hv

First one outdoors, second one at 12:30am at my computer desk (lit by the monitor and stairway light), third lit by a CFL with black out blinds over the windows. Im not upset at all over how it performs for the price, granted I would not be blowing these up to print them out, but perfectly serviceable
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] dr4stic:
I've heard basically the same thing, that the sensors *should* be better than the way they behave. The device has the imx298 on the back and the ov8865 on the front. Two sensors that aren't bad.

Ultimately the libraries that are used to access the camera have the logic, and even on roms like CM, they don't typically get replaced. We just use the libs from the commercial ROM because of dependencies with the radio and the like.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] apexcell:
We've experienced the same thing. The camera is absolutely pathetic.

We replaced the wife's Note 7 with the Le Pro 3, but honestly, the camera is probably as bad as our kid's Galaxy S5.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] dr4stic:
Well, I think the idea that one could replace something on the level of the Note 7 which has/had arguably the best camera on the market (even when considering something like the iphone 7) with this device isn't exactly reasonable :) Just out of curiousity, if you had a Note 7, why didn't you opt for an S7 Edge? The CPU might be clocked slightly slower, but the software support would be miles better, the camera and screen are beyond top notch, and the audio is pretty damn good too. I know the price is twice as much, but I'm hoping to see some interesting discount on those come black friday and christmas time...
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] apexcell:
I actually had no expectations that the Le Pro 3 would be able to match the Note 7's camera, but we didn't know how spectacularly bad it would be. LOL. The Le Pro 3 was a good $300 choice, which we fully expected to get rid of once Samsung comes out with their next gen pen-equipped phone (she actually uses the pen reasonably regularly, and had a Note 4 before the 7). We considered the S7 Edge briefly, but considering we're only expecting to hold on to this phone for a year or so, figured the extra few hundred dollars we'd lose when we switched wouldn't be worth it.

I kind of thought the IMX298 would yield reasonable quality pictures, maybe somewhere around my kid's LG G3. Unfortunately, it appears not to be the case. Most pictures in less-than-optimal light turned out somewhere in-between the quality one would expect from a toaster and a potato.

Anyhow, that's probably more info on our buying decision than anyone probably wanted. :D
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sunoryjim:
Got mine last Friday. CPU-Z says my battery is 3868 mV.

Can anyone else confirm this with their US variants?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] taphius:
Yeah there is zero reason for the 298 to perform badly. The v20 is using it and it is going to be #1 or 2 camera for the most part.

.3 fstop and ois would not bring it down dramatically - its all software

i own the lex720 with 6 gb ram and the s7 edge and i would say the s7 edge does not justify the double price..!!

the camera on the s7 is better but with the right settings the cam. of the lex isnt bad at all..!

the s7 has the better display .? i would say no...just the higher resolution..!!

the sound from the lex is really way better then the s7..!!
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] taihard:
Nah, license plate says Nevada ;)
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] redshirt72:
Argh, I like or can live with pretty much everything about the LEX727, but the camera is SO bad. Looking to replace an S6 Edge+(I'm on Tmobile, it's an ATT phone, so no updates and no wifi, HD-calling). So, is the camera something that with updates can be brought to respectability, or is it always going to be terrible?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] HewettBR:
In theory it should be able to be improved. The sensor is above average and the same one found in the OP3 and V20. There are differences but I would hope it could be improved to be closer to that of the OP3. It does well in good lighting but indoors it is terrible.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Towserspvm2000:
Hi All.... Bad day for me today - to cut a long story short, I drove over my beloved Archos AV560 media player, and naturally it has ceased to be. I used to listen to it several hours a day, but now I'm using a borrowed Ipod Nano. I read in another forum that the Kaiser dosent sound a lot different to the nano, so I thought about using the Kaiser as an mp3 player. At the moment I've got a Vario II (Tytn), and am due an ungrade in February.

Basically I'd like some feedback on battery life as an mp3 player, with screen off/on, with phone/3G off etc.

Thanks all.

Tim
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] anonova:
I don't have battery statistics, but here are two relevant threads.

Audio playback - as good as Ipod?

Tilt: Music Playback Audio Problem (Glitch 'skip' heard every 3-4 minutes)

IMO, at the moment, the Kaiser is a poor choice for multimedia playback. It will have less battery life than an iPod/regular DAP because it doesn't have hardware acceleration.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jozer99:
With bluetooth headphones, my Kaiser skips like crazy (2-3 times a minute).

To use regular headphones, you need a 3rd part adapter. The D/A converter is much worse than the one in the iPod. Battery life will will be relatively bad (less than 8 hours continuous music, I would guess). Not to mention the fact that the largest MicroSD card you can buy is 8GB, for $120. For a couple of bucks more, you can get a 30GB iPod Classic or 8GB iPod Nano.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
In my experience,

Under these specs,

-System Volume set at half

-Audio player set at 15%(Still pretty loud IMO)

Screen off battery:

(fell asleep for 4 hours with it on)

After 4 hours of continuous usage battery drops to around 30-35%

Occasional screen on/off (checking mail, time, etc) battery:

For about 3 hours, dropped down to 40-45%

Screen on Battery:

Phone sometimes gets pretty warm, but battery drops pretty fast. I left it on for IM with continuous usage. After 1 to 1 1/2 hours, it dropped to 60-65%

Hope these give u a rough idea on the battery life!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] yzf750:
I really dont know why so many kaiser people are having problems. I use a couple different BT stereo headsets (rockr s9s and logitech ones also) and have never had any skipping problems. Infact I can set my phone down and walk 30 feet away without any drops or skips.

I have an ipod also thats been sitting in my desk drawer for months unused. I use Core player on my tilt and once you adjust the equalizer in it, the sound is very good. I have zero problems with battery life. I listen most the time for 5 to 7 hours straight at work and still have 40-50% of the battery left. I charge my phone nightly so it doesnt matter much to me.

I have my phone on, 3g on and the screen off. I hate having a pocket full of gadgets, that was my main reason behind the tilt purchase. So far I have no problems letting my ipod collect dust in the drawer and its probaly never going to be used again.

So an Ipod has more storage, I cant even listen to all of my 4 gig microsd card in 3 days at work. If I want more songs, its a matter of minutes to reload it. I also have a set of portable bluetooth speakers (nokias). Another thing an ipod cant do. :)

The logitech mp3 bluetooth stereo headsets were pulled off the market awhile back because the headband would crack/break. You can scoop a new set up for 29 bucks on some deal sites even today. they are one of the sweetest sounding headsets for that price. A couple mods to the headband and they good forever.

Go ahead and get the phone, you wont reget it even as a mp3 player.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scharnet:
I listen via BT (Sony DS HBH970), using PocketPlayer 3.5, audio files stored on a 4 gb microSD.

- After 3/4 hours I still have between 50 and 60% battery life.

- On PP, my settings are to turn off the screen at 1 minute.

- I do not have 3G in my area, and I do not keep Data on at all.

I do have an occasional skip, and I can't walk too far away from my phone before it cuts out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Towserspvm2000:
Thanks for all your info guys. I've just ordered the USB to 3.5mm adapter so I can use my Sony headphones, and see how it all works out. It's gotta be worth a try!! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Chainfire:
Well I guess it's time I try this .... but that leads me to another question: can I have your iPod? :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Towserspvm2000:
Doubt he'll send u the ipod, but I can send you the most compact 60 gigabyte Archos AV560 media player you'll ever see. Just a mere 6mm thick. It's fully funtional apart from the fact it won't turn on.... ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] snathanb:
This echoes my experience, as well. Using coreplayer, with equalizer, it sounds great. Turn the screen off while listening and it will run a very long time. I listened to mine on a 3 hour flight this week and the battery dropped by 20% during that time. Not TO 20%, dropped by 20%. (From 98% to 78%).

I used to take my Dell Axim, A bluetooth GPS, my Ipod Nano, and my cellphone on every trip. Now, I take just the Tilt. It's the first smartphone I've owned that was complete enough to leave everything else behind.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
Same here, all I carry on the plane now is my TyTnII and Promate PM-2600's (absolutely no ticks or skipping with these!) and I have a WLHDD2.5 100Gig wireless hardrive in my case for tons of extra AV and business files.

I find I can get around 5-6 hours continous play when in flight mode and still have 50% battery left. If I connect my 'power monkey' portable charger I can easily double that. :)
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
I don't know how much you are concerned about the fact Chainfire is no longer maintaining SuperSU (apparently 2.76 version was the last one developed by him) and the fact it was taken over by some mysterious chinese company, but if you are - there's an alternative. If you want to read more about this issue - here's the link to reddit thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/54xdmp/ccmt_who_exactly_are_the_owners_of_supersu/

The new owner of SuperSU may or may not be a bad guy, but closed source root manager in hands of some chinese company that we don't really know anything about is kind of a gamble. Fortunately there's an open source alternative - Phh's Superuser. Rooting a phone with it is even easier than using SuperSU, as you avoid all that system/systemless hassle and just root. The only disadvantage is that you need to install the manager separately.

In order to replace SuperSU with Phh's Superuser you need to:

1. Go to SuperSU and fully unroot your device

2. Download Phh's binary from this thread - http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/wip-selinux-capable-superuser-t3216394 (TWRP flashable zip direct download link)

3. Flash the zip in TWRP

4. Download Phh's Superuser - https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=me.phh.superuser

5. Install Superuser and enjoy

I tried this on 6.01 stock and can confirm everything is working (so far). Let me know what are your thoughts about this. Thanks
[X Play General] fablebreton:
Seriously ? If 2.76 was the last by chainfire, it means my 2.78 currently installed with nougat rom, with full power on my phone of course, is made by some mysterious chinese company, chills

[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
It seems so (both have the same version number). They probably have different signature, so you won't be able to update PlayStore version in F-Droid and vice versa.

[X Play General] fablebreton:
no need to factory reset.

May be before full unroot freeze or uninstall any app who will try to get root permissions, and be sure to not have any malware who will try to get root, just by security, we never know...

One pph apk installed from play store or fdroid : when you will unfreez or reinstall those apps, pph will pop up to ask if you want to allow root permission, like supersu
