From what I've read here (not from experience, however) the wall charger is the most reliable way to charge a dead DEAD battery. This will be best accomplished by leaving the phone off.

If, on the other hand, you think the battery is charged but you cannot get past that screen, I suggest you download the default ROM for your phone's service (mine would be a Cingular/AT&T ROM, for example), and try to do a total wipe/reload of the OS.

I'm no expert, however, so you might want to hold out for clearer heads...

Hello,

I have no idea what I am doing this is my first time working with roms and firmwares.

I was trying to root my phone using youtube tutorials but it backfired and my phone went into a bootloop. I used odin and a pit file and firm ware found on this link

thephonebulletin.com/unroot-samsung-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-complete-tutorial-13598

The phone started up but the Wifi option wouldn't turn on. :confused:

I want to restore the phone back to lollipop.

Any suggestions?

I would really appreciate it.

I moved from the Z3 running concept rom to the XZ. I noticed that everything feels jittery, and I have quite a lot of lagging and hanging, especially when updating / installing apps (I get that it should show down a bit, but this phone lags like a b**). Also whenever the temperature goes over 38, everything becomes laggy (it goes over 38 in normal use).

Nothing particularly heavy running in the background, I don't play a lot of games and streaming is usually by WiFi. Anybody notice that this is not the best phone in terms of performance? My Z3 runs faster, smoother and cooler than this ever did.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] drubio:
Could you have bought an S7 mounted inside an XZ chassis??? Just kiddin buddy...

Havent noticed anything you described, maybe you have to contact whoever cheated you with that phone.

BTW in my opinion my XZ is the best phone in the world no matter what evryone say....

PS try to perform a factory reset or a software repair through xperia companion, them could fix this mysterious behaviour....
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] hm5:
+1

I have this exact same behaviour! So frustrating :(

Do you by any chance also have the dual sim model??
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] axaman943:
I've not encountered this issue, always been snappy and smooth either on stock build and XplayZtation ROM
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
Yes it's the dual sim model, bought it from the official dealer in the UAE. So far it hasn't been a good experience... If my Z3 hardware held up a bit more till next year I wouldn't have changed..
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
Actually when I updated to Nougat I did it by software repair. Interestingly I had the same issues on MM.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
I had an idea from some articles I read that the HTC 10 uses slower storage than other flagships as well as Apple apparently using slower storage for the lower capacity versions vs. the higher ones. So I did the test and compared the results to this article by GSM arena (see attached image) [IMG="Screenshot"]http://3.1m.yt/Zh4iMM0.png[/IMG]http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_10_stor...w_average_with_other_flagships-blog-18091.php

Now I don't know much about this technical matter but i can say one thing; I was very surprised to find out that my phone the F8332 is worse than the of the ones compared in the article, maybe comparable to the HTC 10.

Would anyone be interested in comparing the F8332 model with the F8331, can anyone here run the test and confirm if theres a difference, because as far as I can tell, the phone performs terribly and I'm thinking of taking it back. Also my father has the same phone, it also lags and stutters. It would be nice to get a confirmation if its indeed a storage issue or just a software optimization issue.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] drubio:
Just if its going to make you feel better, there you got my f8331 results in the same bench, stock 7.0.

I also have to say, i usually don't give a s*** regarding bench results, some smartphones with lower results perform better on daily duties than benchchamps.

I have to say im happy with my xz as another one could be with his sh1tphone 7 or his firesumg note 7. Just a matter of likes. If you live benchmarking yourself with the rest youre going to be far from happiness ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
I generally never do or trust benchmarks, just wanted to see the results, so based on this I guess it's a software issue?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] sunking101:
The XZ uses eMMC memory so what do you expect? Of course the read/write benchmarks are going to be shocking.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] drubio:
I think is a matter of time this relatively new device settle and grow (with the help of the amazing developers we have here, of course). Maybe after that time we'll can see XZ performing at its max. One thing is for sure, im not with that crazy stream we live that everybody wants to have the best piece of tech during a few months, after that, buy another one an so.... And for what? To play candycrush with ps4 quality and sniff people lifes on facebook.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
I agree, but I also think it's inexcusable for Sony to release a worse performer than their own 2 yr old device. I don't need the best of everything, but within reason... I don't think that having random freezes and laggy software on a brand new and recently reformatted device, while my older one performs flawlessly is ok. What do you think?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Venom71:
Saying "shocking" is exaggerated, UFS is better in every aspect except power consumption, but eMMC still does much better than what the average smartphone task demands, doing the ***** because of higher numbers on androbench is the same thing as wanting more pixels on display, or more cores, just because everyone else follows that trend.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Venom71:
The XZ still outperforms most of 2016's phones on both Antutu and Geekbench's computing, if you all really care about numbers so much.

Here, high numbers, happy now?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] sunking101:
Go to settings, Storage & Memory, Advanced, Storage, Internal Storage and then wait to see how long it takes for that list to populate. Years. I love my XZ and for my needs it's mainly fine but eMMC/3GB of RAM and plastic casing is lame on a late 2016 flagship no matter what anyone says.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
No I don't think you read what I said, I don't care about benchmarks at all, my point was using them as a reference because the phone is laggy and just not performing wellvin day to day use.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Venom71:
Never had a single lag on mine, yours is either a defect unit or a fake, if it still lags after a factory reset then theres no other explanation.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Venom71:
That's true, but I still couldn't find any other phone to satisfy me more than this one, so there's no actual loss for me.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
Well I very highly doubt it's a fake, so I guess it might be a faulty unit or just the fact that the dual sim version software isn't optimized as the normal one. But I do know one thing, it lags a lot, hangs on certain apps and is just not smooth as it should be, even after several factory resets.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Klauder:
It's thermal throttle. I've gone through 3 XZ's. One had serious heating issues, the second had some deadpixel, the current one has also some thermal issues but not as bad as the first.

For example, on the first unit doing benchmarks on antutu (i'm just gonna mention this one for now) always starting from idle temperatures, i would get sometimes around 140.000, 120.000, 135.000 and on one occasion 96.000. On the second unit always above 140.000 no matter what. Best i've achieved was 144.4457 (thumbs up) and it could film 4K for 30 minutes without shutting down due to heat.

On the actual unit, i have lag, faster battery drain, higher temperatures and abnormal temperature rise , mixed antutu scores from 123.000-140.000 (most of the time 135-136) and 4k video maximum of 15 minutes...

And yes, i've done software repairs, fresh install, reboot on safemode, tried on/off smart cleaner and battery care...

From my experience with these units, the XZ is a superb device (if everything is working as it should), a normal device that doesn't separate the sheep from the goats (if you have problems that affect performance) and a real headache if you have serious overheating problems (or others).

FYI, iv'e got the F8331.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
Yeah it does overheat sometimes and when it does it takes a long time to cool down, usually it starts to really lag after reaching 36c. However there is also some lag at cool temperatures. Probably not the best device to own when loving in a warm country. Too bad it's a let down after moving from the 2yr old Z3.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Klauder:
My opinion is that it is an excellent device if it works as it should... but some units don't

As i said, my experience with 3 Xperia XZ units were different from one to another, like if you were using another phone model/brand.

Instead of ZX vs. S7, OP3, Pixel, someone should do XZ vs. XZ (with same firmware, etc) :silly:

And that is also why you see youtube videos or read on forums some people saying that the XZ is an excellent phone and others complaining... But it happens with every brand. But it should not happen in a device in this price range.

Who is to blame? People at the assembly line, quality control, Sony, Qualcomm? ...

If i was to assemble a phone from the 3 (2 that i returned and the one i still have) excluding the cons, i would make 1 decent XZ.

About living in a warm country, here it's winter and it's fairly cold... (i won't say more)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] drubio:
Regarding the averages temps my F8331 runs, using all in one tool keeps about 32^C normal use even playing videos... Things change with heavy process (like benchmarks, hd games, 4k video) reaches 51 to near 60 without laggin a bit. AMAZING multitasking even with 3gigs of ram... (lets see how goes that in the future)

PS after 7.0 smoothness like he**!
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Klauder:
The problem isn't reaching those temperatures. It's how fast it gets to them. For exemple, filming a 4K video always cuts at the same temperature values. But why one unit could get 5 minutes of recording and the other could do 30 under the same conditions? Temps when the camera shut off were the same but one took more time to reach to those.

And checking only the battery temp or cpu temp isn't enough. We have to check the temperatures of all sensors. But as we know, temperatures on this kind of devices can go up and down very fast, so if your switching from an app/window to another and that takes 5 or so seconds, probably the temperature before weres around 70 or more and when you check it it's around 60. It's easier to use an app to monitor even when you are not looking.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] drubio:
Regarding 4k video, just needed 1.5 min recording to see it works... ( i dont have any device supporting 4k play so..)

Recording fullhd video it performs more than good.

Snapdragon socs use to run a little warm (nothing compared to 810 soc devices) but xz performs really smooth even quite hot...
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] pk-air:
No issues here. It runs like a champ all day (no gaming). with stock Android N. Yes it gets a little warm when watching videos but not really noticeable. All phones get pretty warm while recording 4k video just some more and some less. If you are using custom rom it might cause lags but usually custom roms run better but not always. Also if you have Ultra Stamina mode activated it disables some features that reduces overall performance of the device and reduces gaming performance drastically.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Klauder:
I gave 4k recording as an example (but which i often use and also audio recording, etc).

4K for 1m:30 a faulty unit can do that and also a lot of phones that cost a quarter of what this one does.

I'm not saying that the XZ is a bad phone, or it runs hot or lags just by scrolling windows or only by using the browser to read something. I'm just saying that there are some defective units out there that have these and other problems but fortunately there are a lot more of trouble free devices out there.

You get what you pay for but some people aren't getting.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
So I'm getting from all this discussion is that i probably have a faulty unit... I dont have any overheating issues really, the phone generally doesnt get hot, but just lags a lot and sometimes completely hangs. Battery life is also not as some people are reporting, but its not too bad, I get about 3.5 hrs screen from a full - empty cycle.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] pk-air:
Yeah I agree with you. I went to Sony from Oneplus 2 only because I always wanted Sony because of its look. Honestly there are no differences between my OP2 and XZ. Yeah some extra features here and there but thats it. And of course there are faulty devices which some people get and make assumptions based on that. Some people dont realize that phones are for connecting with people. If you need good pictues carry a camera, if you want good sound carry BT speaker or mp3 player, etc but you can't have everything/all at once in one device at least not now. So many options out there right now and if anyone feel like not paying much and sacrifice some features over others then go for it. It was the reason I went to Oneplus and Oneplus 2. All I can say now once my sony xz brakes I would never go for expensive device ever again.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DaPoets:
Upgrading to 7.1.1. kills your ability to use the old Network Signal Refresh trick to quickly enable your hotspot. The fix for this is now to just pop out your simcard, and when you stuff it back in, immediately activate your hotspot in settings. What I'm doing is just keeping the simcard "key" inbetween my phone and my case, so when I need to activate my hotspot it's a quick pop out pop in throw the switch. 5 seconds max from start to finish and I'm up and running.

I upgraded to 7.1.1. right away w/ out even looking at the forums and learned the hard way that they killed off the non-root method of tethering (Network Signal Refresh)

I believe they also killed of the airplane mode to tether trick as well as I had that down and now it isn't working for me at all.

Pop out the sim, shove it back in, flip the tether switch and your in business.

You may now hit the "Thanks" button lol :angel:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ninotorpedo:
This trick isn't working for me...I'm able to turn on hotspot once I put the SIM card back in but as soon as LTE is about to pop up, it shuts off my hotspot. Sigh...had I only known, I wouldn't have updated..

Reboot your phone and try again. Pretty much w/ in less than half a second of snapping the SIM card back into place I hit the tether button and it turns on and stays on.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] The_Coroner:
Work around

Go to the pdanet icon (bottom right) with your phone tethered to your computer,

left click on the icon and choose "Wifi Share (Beta)

another authentication (activation) window appears and will ask for a Wifi name and password

activate and your wifi network should be activated and accessible.

Hope this works for others.

adb pull /system/build.prop

add following to build.prop with txteditor: net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

adb reboot

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DanTron:
I just got my Pixel. It's running 7.1.1 NMF26U.

Like many others, I want to bypass the check and get tethering hotsopt to work but I am afraid to do anything that might cause Android Pay to stop working.

I have been trying to get the SIM pop method to work without success. It does enable Hotspot and stay enabled. I can get computers to connect to the SSID. They do get a 192.168.43.x IP address. They can ping the 192.168.43.1 hotspot GW IP. However they cannot ping anything on the Internet nor do DNS lookups. No throughput to the Internet at all. The phone shows Hotspot running and it shows I have LTE signal. The Pixel itself has working Internet via LTE while Hotspot is on. I've also rebooted the Pixel and tried several more times with the same results.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Are there any ways to edit build.prop that does not involve doing something that would kill Android Pay?

Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mwalt2:
Are you running a VPN for adblocking without root? If so, turn it off while tethering. Just a guess.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DanTron:
No VPN. Basically fresh out of the box phone.
