[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BBM-Lee:
Go to "Best Buy Mobile" (there are stand-alone stores and store-in-store versions)... It's not best buy, it's Best Buy & Carphone Warehouse...

While I don't live abroad, I hear CPW has quiet a strong reputation :-P

You will *never* get a phone that's previously been used (Unless you are using a loaner phone ;-)) -- And if you do, call 1-800-BESTBUY and let them know so they stop working for my company >:-( We don't want them.

Side note: Keep in mind a lot of phones have defects to begin with, certain phones recently released have had overheating issues (over 35% return rate so far for one particular model), others are spotty in terms of manufacturing; at least in some aspects... such as the tilt's D-Pad, or in another phones case, frequently touch sensors

wow thats cool. the camera really is better? it doesnt lag in the dark? has it ever crossed anyones mind...what if 2nd gen Kaisers are being made, ones with video drivers.

Lol, I highly doubt that. I'll post up some pictures of the quality but I'm not sure how to show the movement quality.. the video mode isn't as silky as the camera modes

[Xperia Z5 General] shanpao:
Do you have a 32.2.A.5.11 kernel build tool? Thank you:)
[Xperia Z5 General] goRt:
Is there a reason for using sr3 rather than sr5?

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 General] chinmoy32:
No there is no reason beside the one that I did not know that there is indeed a SR5 out there .. :/
[Xperia Z5 General] chinmoy32:
Yes I do, its the same tool -- rootkernel_v5.0_Windows_Linux.zip

from this link rootkernel_v5.0_Windows_Linux.zip
[Xperia Z5 General] shanpao:
I also use this tool to make, but there is no TWRP:(

I have the Xperia Z5 dual E6683 running on android version 6.0.1 and I was wondering if this would be compatible? Also what does "dsds" mean?
[Xperia Z5 General] Ukiya8:
dsds = Dual Sim Dual Standby

Hi Chin, is it possible to do a kernel without supersu? thanks
[Xperia Z5 General] chinmoy32:
Yes of course it is compatible !!

this firmware is particularly for your Z5 model E6683, and which version of Android you are currently running has nothing to do with FTF flashing.

DSDS stands for dual sim dual standby , its a variant marker used by Sony.

Just download the flashtool (google it) and flash the FTF first then the kernel .

before that keep backup of your staffs .
[Xperia Z5 General] chinmoy32:
yeah, it is possible .
[Xperia Z5 General] chinmoy32:
here you go , [MENTION=5939668]arul20be[/MENTION] did that already, so I dont have to do it :)

Dont forget to give him thanks ..

E6683 Kernel without SuperSU
[Xperia Z5 General] NeutrinoNexus:
I don't have any personal files on my phone since I just got it, should I still make a backup? And if so, how?
[Xperia Z5 General] Ukiya8:
i just did, thanks :)
[Xperia Z5 General] chinmoy32:
no need to backup then ..............

and for backing up you need to have TWRP .............

for that please do some googling in general ...........

get a overall idea and then get back here in XDA and I think you will fit in just fine ............ we can then help you out with the specifics I think :)

Is there any way to update the SuperSU binary? I tried update binary from SuperSU app and it failed, then I tried flashing the latest SuperSU 6.79 through TWRP and it also failed .. and 1 more thing, does this kernel use systemless or system-mode superSU?

Thanks in advance

Offline netflix content made available about 6 days ago but i can't figure out how to get it working on my device. Apparently only a handful of devices are supported. The galaxy series seems to be supported according to some random posts on /r/netflix so I changed buildprop in the ro.product.model and ro.product.manufacturer and rebooted plus reinstalled the netflix app but no dice.

Anyone figured out a workaround?

Hello everyone,

Just asking for some help here; I couldn't find any cases like mine online. (Although, tbh, I'm not sure how to describe it, let alone search for it)

But it is a reproducible issue that occurs. It isn't always there but for certain images/screens, it is always present. The video is one example.

I am on stock everything; I haven't really touched the phone much since I just recently acquired it.

What would be causing this issue and is there a way to fix it??

Thanks in advance for the help.

P.S. I've posted this question on the Q&A thread and I don't mean to spam or anything. Just making sure I reach out to everyone.

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] pk-air:
Has anyone noticed that the bottom speaker volume is lower than the top one (ear peace) when playing music? or is it only me?

I did not notice it before because I always use headsets but today I spilled some juice on it and washed it under the sink water after that I played some music just to see what's up and noticed this uneven volume coming out from both speakers. I will let it dry and see if it was the cause but has anyone else noticed that?

And if you are talking on the phone using speakers only bottom one works. Is it normal?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
Yes they are different but I think it's intentional because not only is the volume different, but they each put out different kinds of sound if you notice.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] pk-air:
Yeah I did notice the output of the sound is different from each speaker. I already thought I have faulty unit and wanted to return it but now you saved my worry <3 Thank you.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] sunking101:
I wouldn't say that it's intentional as if Sony wanted both speakers to be different. It's normal though and to be expected because the speakers aren't identical. The top speaker is of higher quality.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] pk-air:
I just wanted to know if I am not the only one with such situation. As I mentioned before I did not notice it until I used it. Thank you for replying.

Need pro's here. Can we use flashfire to install official ota updates? App claims it could. I'm using twrp. Am not sure if the official S219 to S230 row zip file I have can be used in twrp.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Questions & Answers] Sachin97:
custom recovery wont intall official ota updates.

custom recovery can install custom rom updates only.

its better to flash stock recovery and then unroot your phone to install the update through stock recovery.

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

NOTE:- Do not install the s230 update while your sd card inserted in the phone. Remove the sd card and then proceed. I installed the update as usual by keeping the micro sd connected to the device. After the update was installed the phone rebooted and gave me a notification saying damaged sd card. Though i fixed the sd card but i lost all the data of sd card.

Apologies for being off-topic! I faced a lot of issues in s230 update thus downgraded to s218 & now on s219. I am able to get adb to recognize my device but not fastboot. Therefore I am unable to unlock bootloader!

When I type in " adb reboot bootloader" or click on the "unlock_recovery.bat" file provided, I get booted into a dark screen where "fastboot" is written at the bottom left & the command prompt window says < waiting for device> & I am stuck there until I reboot my phone.

Can somebody tell how to get past this?﻿

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RalimTek:
Hi,

Really sorry to be posting here and bugging people.. :P

Basically i just recieved a near-new mate 7 TL10 2GB/16GB chinese version.

I have unlocked the bootloader + put TWRP recovery on the phone.

I took a full system backup before messing with anything :)

It came on a fully updated 6.0.0 image from the factory.

I have downloaded the `MT7-TL10_V100R001C00B130_Firmware_Southern_Pacific_Region_Others_Android_4.4.2` file from Huawei as that's apparently the correct one for Australia.

I tried flashing the system.img via fastboot and the system just hangs on boot (does the animation and then just sits on the huawei logo for 30 mins)..

I also tried system.img + cust and had the same result :(

Im basically looking for any ideas to get this phone off the chinese ROMs ?

Currently I am open to any ideas out there... :)

Thank you :)
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RalimTek:
Double posting as its a solution (sort of)

[Touch CDMA General] purelithium:
I'm a speed freak. I know our CPUs are at 400mhz already, but what about pushing that further? Are there any utilities out there that can do this?
[Touch CDMA General] storino03:
None work with the Qualcomm processor since it's dual core. It'll probably be next to impossible since the other core has to be overclocked as well and it's part of the phone side, which may screw things up. The Mogul has the same exact one.

[Touch CDMA General] dharvey4651:
I would say that if you were in the fancy of a nice, pretty, expensive paperweight, go ahead and try to overclock your Touch.
[Touch CDMA General] jessiethe3rd:
I've overclocked tons of PPCs... what you get you in speed increases is a decrease in battery life. IMHO not work the give/take.
[Touch CDMA General] petrochemicals:
dharvey thanks for the useless comment. jessiethe3rd maybe some people are willing to give battery life for speed. It would be nice if people were less willing to cut down someone for what they want, and maybe answer there question instead, no opinion needed.
[Touch CDMA General] purelithium:
That's kind of why I've left this thread. No one seems to want to give helpful advice/info. They are all about telling me what i'm doing wrong.:rolleyes:

Comes with being on the internet, though.
[Touch CDMA General] dharvey4651:
Please forgive my previous comment. I was in a crappy mood and I really didn't care who I offended when I posted that comment.

Unfortunately there is no true way to overclock the Touch thanks to the dual core processor. One half of the processor is used for the OS, while the other half is geared mostly for the phone features. In order to overclock one half, you would have to overclock the other as well and this could potentially put your CDMA radio out of commission. If you only decided to overclock one hald of the Processor, you would probably fry your device and I know you don't want that. I don't want that for you either.

AFAIK, it was supposed to work with cloud storages. That will definitely require internet access.
[Android Apps and Games] gmillz:
The internet permission is for upcoming cloud storage support, and contacts permission is for getting google account for gdrive support. Sorry for not removing them after I disabled cloud storage.

Yes I didn't remember that the GET_ACCOUNTS permission is now listed into the Contacts group.

Same 'issue' with other apps like Substratum.
[Samsung Gear VR] Mtotallywired:
Hi all, I've been on a quest as of late to make the most of my Gear VR (with Note 4) and Plex Media Server as it has my entire media library on it. I found the thread below and discovered Pigasus (which I'm sure more than a few of you already know about, but if you don't...it's awesome!)

https://www.reddit.com/r/GearVR/comments/5epg3r/increasing_plex_quality/

It's basically a DLNA streamer that can pick up on your Plex servers seamlessly. Additionally, i feel like it has the nicest looking void theater setup of the few apps I've tried (Basically just Samsung VR) and is the easiest to control, and seems to be of the highest quality. Additionally, it has features like the ability to sticky the screen so that it follows wherever you look, which is nice and less annoying that having to recalibrate using the back button like in other apps. Unfortunately, at the moment, it's not directly available through the Gear VR Store without first receiving an Oculus key from the developer but you can get that from here: http://hanginghatstudios.com/pigasus and the lite version is free!

Anyway...as good as that is right now, I've furthered my quest, as the people in the reddit post above claim to be able to access their home DLNA remotely using VPN. Now I don't know jack about networking so of course with a little googling I found this:

https://www.macstories.net/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-vpn-server-on-your-mac-and-access-everything-remotely-with-an-iphone/

Thus far, I've been able to connect my note 4 to my home VPN but unable to access any of my local servers. Does anyone here have the networking knowledge to confirm whether using PPTP is a viable way to remote access my home servers via an app like Pigasus?

I know it seems like a tall order but hoping someone out there can help. Thanks in advance and hopefully some of you that didn't know about Pigasus enjoy it!
