[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_abaurre:
It's been a while since I've bought the phone, so I don't believe the vendor will do much.

I've read about the process of flashing the firmware. The only thing I did not understand is about the selection of the firmware itself. I'm presented with a list of firmwares of various countries (market) and carriers (operator) in XperiFirm. How do I know which one to select? A natural choice would be to select one from my region/carrier, but I can't find any or both for my phone. The guides I found doesn't elaborate on this.

Another thing. Will a simple backup with Xperia Companion or Factory Reset (from the phone itself) revert to the original firmware? Do I need to create a backup firmware?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhaha:
Ahh, so the weird LED color thingy was you too. Your phone is off the charts fishy.

Your vendor should definitely be held accountable, try negotiating first. If things go sour, threaten to sue and see if they change their tune.

You select the firmware from your region, and don't select the carrier branded firmware, they're for locked phones sold by carriers, one normally wouldn't want to use that.

If I'm not mistaken, what you're trying to ask is if you're currently on firmware version A and flash version B, could you revert back to version A using Xperia Companion or via the factory reset, correct? The answer is no. You can however use Flashtool to flash version A regardless of what version firmware is currently installed on your phone, but I'm not sure if it's advisable to retain user data when you downgrade firmware.

Usually there's no need to make a backup of the original firmware. The factory reset function is basically just a data wipe, firmware version doesn't change. You should always backup your personal files before attempting to flash a firmware just in case. Personally I use Sony's preinstalled Backup and Restore app, it works for me - don't backup apps though it's pointless, takes up too much time and free space and is basically redundant. If you want to make a backup of the entire phone including the firmware, you will need a custom recovery solution like TWRP, but in your case I don't think you'll need to go that far, it's more stuff to learn and potentially go wrong.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_abaurre:
By region you mean the region I live or the region of the original firmware? I matched the CDA of the one that shows on the cellphone with one on the list of available firmwares. Not surprisingly, it shows that it is from Hong Kong and "customized HK" as operator. Intuition says I should try and flash that one...

So, usually backing up your current firmware is not needed/common?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhaha:
Depends on what you're doing, because you're just upgrading and not messing with custom ROMs or kernels or whatever, then yeah you don't need to backup the entire phone/firmware, just backup your data.

I suggest picking the region you're living in, although it doesn't really matter since you can always change your language and uninstall/disable any localized apps. For example if you're in Russia, then you'd probably prefer the default search engine set to Yandex and local Russian apps preinstalled; or if you're in China, then you'd want Baidu instead and Chinese specific apps... etc. Or another possibility, US-based firmware may have the DST setting enabled by default, but nothing you can't change afterwards.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_abaurre:
I live in Brazil but I travel to the US all the time. I didn't find any firmware from these locations for my phone. So judging from what have I read so far, I can pick whatever as long as it's not carrier locked or something like that.

So I guess I'll pick whichever firmware is the most recent from the list and cross my fingers...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_abaurre:
Just to give an update to whomever it may concern. I've decided to flash an Australian firmware (I belive it was the most recent one) after some more reading.

Although flashtool failed to flash the first time, I just repeated the process step by step and it worked like a charm the second time.

Although my backup didn't do much (I've deleted EVERYTHING from my phone, as recommended) everything worked and the phone is up to date.

Now I'm waiting for the Nougat!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] GabrielMed:
Hi,

I was really ansious to try the mi5, and bought the 64gb version, but when compared to my previosly Xperia Z5, the touch screen sucks, its much more slower and horizontal swips usually are troublesome. Im mot saying that it has touch problems, like unresponsive areas, just it dont fell so smoothly like on other fones. Anyone else noticed that? Do CM 14.1 ROM fix this?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] afifpratama:
Hi, I moved from xperia sp to mi 5, and don't feel any touch response different between the two,

On what ROM version you are now?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] GabrielMed:
Im on the Miui 8 Global Beta 6.11.10
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] kmzway000:
I dont think so . Maybe you should return phone and get new . Maybe hardware problem
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] GabrielMed:
I will upload a vídeo showing what im trying to say
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] prince10t:
That is true. I also have Z5 before, sold it and bought mi5. Despite the horizontal/vertical nuisance, it's by far better than my z5 imho.

I just tried CM13 last 2 weeks ago, and the swipe sensitivity is non existent. Right now Im back to MIUI EU rom, and swipe issues are back. May be this has something to do with the 2 different types of LCD of MI5 which is JDI or LGD, not sure about this just my honest opinion.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] gian569:
i agree with OP, coming from a nexus 5, this phone is awesome but the touch screen is too much precise. i can see it mainly when swiping notifications (sometimes it gets really frustrating) and when, with hamburger menu opened, i want to scroll up or down: i often end up closing the hamburger menu. don't know if with CM is different

mine is jdi, and i'm on xiaomi.eu 6.10.27
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] GabrielMed:
Sorry I dont get it, probably my fault, english its not my native language. Do you meant that on CM mod you didn't had any swipe problems (you wrote swipe sensitivity was none, i understand that as if the cellphone dont reconize any swipe). If so, why do you came back to MIUI?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] prince10t:
With CM13 rom, I do not have touch swipe issues. But with MIUI, horizontal swipes, much like dismissing a notification must be a near-perfect horizontal swipe to make it work.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] GabrielMed:
Then why you came back to use MIUI?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] matteo.gspace:
For me was the same with MIUI but now with CM everything is OK
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] prince10t:
I got used to MIUI, and realized its practical features. only thing I dont like about it is the recent apps view and the touch sensitivity that we previously mentioned. I still like AOSP roms though, but as long Im with a Xiaomi phone, Ill stick to MIUI for now. (who knows, maybe I'll change my mind and get back to CM in the future).
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] 4240Benny:
Hey guys!

I've installed the Nougat beta for my P9 Lite VNS-L21 Dual Sim, but now I want to downgrade to MM. This is what I did:

0. Installed Nougat via Melticulus TWRP

1. Installed Revolution Recovery (because Melticulus TWRP had stopped working, idk why)

2. Flashed OEMInfo

3. Copied Version B150/B151 (I've tried both) to the SDCard

4. Started the P9 Lite with Power + Volume UP + Volume DOWN and tried to flash one of the versions.

I'm stuck here, the Huawei Recovery says the following: "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package!"

I've used HTC Mania, Thread NR 1200630 to download the stock rom for my P9 Lite, I've tried both the VNS-L21C432B151 Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1.1 Europa and the VNS-L21C432B150 Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1.1 Europa

Hi - Our OPO phones are starting to show their age.

I started researching BLP571 replacement batteries, and many of the sources I found have pretty lousy reviews for battery quality.

Has anyone purchased a BLP571 from a supplier that you are happy (or not happy) with?

Thanks!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Voyager03:
I have just been having a problem with my OnePlus and the battery stats - the phone was not lasting long, the % readout was not moving for some time then falling and switching off before it reached anywhere near 0%.* I suspected the battery might be failing and had installed Accubattery (updated to Pro with some Google Play gift credit they offered me) and it suggested the battery was now only [MENTION=252019]2000[/MENTION]mAh so have been looking for a replacement.

(* I'm using the excellent Sultanxda Unofficial CyanogenMod 13.0 with 3.4.0 kernel whose battery stats have been very good and whose ROM is super-stable.)

I have been told that a lot of the 'Chinese' OnePlus replacements are not all that good and do not meet the original specifications and sometimes actually even ship used batteries and I didn't want that sort of headache.

I found a seller of aftermarket batteries in Germany (I'm in the UK) and bought a 'VHBW' branded BLP571 from them through ebay. Shipping was fast and I installed it in the phone this afternoon (17th December)

[IMG="Battery in phone."]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75157536/P1040396.jpg[/IMG]

I could not turn the phone on as the battery came discharged and it took @2½ hours to charge to 100% (I did this with the phone switched off). I powered up and deleted the battery stats from Accubattery and will monitor it carefully. I'm pleased to see that it has ticked down from 100% to 97% after 10 minuets use as it was not doing that for the past month or so (I expect the battery stats to take some time to settle down - at least a few charge cycles)

So, the battery looks good. Certainly is not some second-hand junk, time will tell if it has the capacity of the original and I don't expect to know for a week or so. I will return to this thread from time to time to report back. Hopefully it will be good news - but to answer your original question I am very happy with the supplier!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabrefresco:
What makes this interesting is that it's most likely a brand new battery since it's not from the OEM. Give it a week and report back. You can also use GSam Battery monitor to record the stats. If this is good enough, you can probably post it over at \ACCESSORIES\ for some more publicity.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Voyager03:
That is the same seller. The delivery was quick and the product seems perfectly good.

I don't know if it is as good as the original battery but I didn't measure the capacity of that when I got the phone new.

I've had a good charge all day and put it on to charge again now - but I was using the phone a lot to see what happened. In normal (moderate) use I would guess I would be back to 18 - 24 hours between charges.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Voyager03:
Accubattery said the old battery was [MENTION=392852]1900[/MENTION]mAh and the new one is @2800mAh.

But more than that the phone was not working at all well with the old original - the % charge was not displaying properly, would stick at 100% for ages before falling and then switch off suddenly and well before it reached 0%. Then when plugged in to recharge started at 60%, 30% or wherever it was when it powered off and then was 100% is a short time.

The new battery % 'reads' correctly enough. I've not been able to let it go completely flat as I charge when I need some time away from a convenient plug.

The new battery is much better - and there is little alternative anyway. If anyone knows where to get an original 3100mAh cell then I would like to know!

It does NOT display the 5 recently visited pages on history or favorites & when I click on either tab it open file explorer to the windows directory.

I open the htm in notepad & it looks like everything is correct. AM I missing an xml or something? Or did opne of the AT&T cabs I used move something I need to compolete the function?
