Hello XDA Dev, I am new here and don't know where else to go for advice.

I recently aquired a Sony M4 Experia Aqua (E2303 I believe) and the brightness is stuck on full brightness all of the time. I have tested to see if the auto brightness hardware sensor was still working and the values change whenever I cover it or remove my hand, so it looks like a software issue. I did a factory reset, reinstalled the OS using the software 'Xperia companion' and I still have the same issue - full brightness. I have however, managed to obtain an application that dims the screen brightness, it's called 'Night Mode'. It's sorted it out, so the phone doesn't burn my retinas every time I look at it in the morning, but I can't let go of trying to fix this. I have looked everywhere online, many people say they have the same problem, but they never seem to come up wth or find a solution. I really liked the adaptive brightness on my other M4 Aqua, I got this one as a replacement. I have a Samsung phone with a decent Android set up on it, so I wondered if I could transfer the OS from that phone to this one?
[XDA Assist] :
Greetings and welcome to assit. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to transfer the os but you could install a custom rom from here

http://xdaforums.com/m4-aqua/development

and see if that fixes the issue. Also there is an app called lux on xda/playstore that may help

Good Luck

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avilqu:
Hi all,

I have a brand new OPX imported from China. I tried installing TWRP 3.0.2.0 through fastboot, and apparently the installation went fine. Except that when I try to boot on recovery, I'm stuck on the OP splash screen and nothing happens.

I tried with CM14 recovery, and I get the exact same issue.

So I installed CM13 recovery (latest version), and then CM13, and everything is working fine. But I can't update to CM14 (CMrecovery just tells me "install failed", and the recovery log shows one apparently relevant line, which is "[ 1.282239] failed to stat /data/media/0/cmupdater/cm-14.1-20161221-NIGHTLY-onyx.zip: No such file or directory").

I also tried installin the latest CM14 through CM13 recovery, but I get the same problem I got with TWRP: stuck on splash screen, nothing happens.

Don't know if relevant, but as I'm stuck on splash screens, the phone does not respond to ADB but it does respond to fastboot.

I would really like to install the latest CM14 on it, but for the moment I'm stuck with CM13. Any ideas?

Thanks!
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fap4k:
Can you please describe which build date of cm 13 you are using right now?
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avilqu:
I am using the latest CM13 available for my device (onyx), which is CM-13.0-20161219-NIGHTLY-onyx.

The next CM for this device is a CM14.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep Singh 07:
if you unlock your bootloader then definitely latest twrp 3.0.3 works fine and flash cm14 and arsenic kernal using it.

first you install the rom using twrp 3.0.3, then install arsenic kernal, after that flash gapps. This works fine for me. Maybe you can`t unlock your bootloader check using : fastboot oem device-info in the fastboot mode. Or you are using older bootloader. See this

Every time I turn the watch's power off and place it on the cradle, it starts back up. Isn't that bad?

How do I charge the LG Watch Urbane with its power off?
[LG Watch Urbane] Chudman:
That's a normal happening. The watch charges under power. You can turn it off after it charges if you won't be using it for a while.

I've seen big difference in battery drain based on watch face. I decided to stick to Elements Analog, as I had issues with some of the AW1.5 watch faces.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] roebling:
Good point. The OLED tech used on our LG watches saves energy by only lighting areas of the screen that aren't black. And color takes more power than black & white. So, for everyday use, I picked a simple, minimal, white-on-black watch face.--"Elements".
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Moe5508:
Agreed...and also whether you have your watch's SIM card enabled or not...battery life is terribly low with 3G/LTE enabled but improves dramatically when its turned off...I live with the fact that I only need the watch in "un-paired" mode to have GPS functionality for my fitness workouts.

I've been running the custom Marshmallow ROM on my Tab S for about a year and loved it, but now everytime I make a purchase on the play store I get "Unfortunately Goole play store has stopped". I can dowload free apps and update everything fine but whenever I try to make a purchase the play store crashes. Does anyone have an idea of what I can do?

I have already tried clearing cache and data for the play store and play services, removed my google account, reflashed GAPPS, installing the play store as a system app, and set up a lock screen security. Nothing has worked so far.

Hi guys, need your help..

some time earlier i've soft-bricked my m9, and mostly bring it back to life (as a result no radio module)

Device is:

modelid: 0PJA11000

cidnum: 11111111

mainver: 4.19.617.1

think that how and what I did - doesnt matter ..

Matter is that i've flashed "board_info" block from operator base one m9, so I need dump (developer base) , from such device like myne (s-off requered), of mmcblk0p1

please people..

for this you need adb on your PC.

Code:

adb shell

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p1

if all okay - you'll have mmcblk0p1 file on sdcard (internal) which i need

link attached here for 20s twrp backup of X727 for those who already have twrp recovery and are having difficulties in updating from 19S to 20S, you can simply just use this.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1tni8kCEA5SN29IUk1rSEx0LW8

Note: will advise not to check the recovery during the restoration as it will restore the stock recovery.

Update: If you are coming from 19s pls do a full wipe before applying this 20s restoration and do not forget to make backup before applying this.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] samjoandco:
Thanks :) I was looking for this , how is the experience now? any better compared to 19S?
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] seffmono:
You are welcome. The update is better compared to 19s.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] samjoandco:
I unzipped and restored it (uncheck recovery )

now it is on EUI screen for last 5 minutes. waiting patiently for the login screen

---update---

it never finished, had to revert back to the backup
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] seffmono:
I just tried it now and it booted up successfully, so i dont know what is the problem in your case. I think you should try to do a normal wipe in twrp(data,cache and dalvik) or maybe a full wipe before rebooting the system. but before doing a full wipe make a backup and pull the backup from your phone to pc while in twrp mode. using this command "adb pull /sdcard/TWRP TWRP"
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] suhridkhan:
mine also did the same, stuck on the EUI screen. At the end what worked is, I restored from my TWRP backup of 19s and then took the ota. All is good now.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HewettBR:
I didn't have this issue. I did a full wipe before restoring
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] seffmono:
I have restored it 3 times, I never had that issue.I think is had to actually do with wiping before restoring although I didn't do any wiping in my case.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] seffmono:
Good to read that you are now on 20S
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] suhridkhan:
exactly, don't care much how it got worked out, I am just happy that I am on 20s. Anyways, thanks for your earlier suggestion on using the twrp backup to return to stock. I forgot about my own backup!

And thanks to HewettBR about the wipe info.

just dont rush to reboot :( let it take time after reboot else you will lose all data, i thought it was going nowhere so i rebooted and lost everything incl backup data.

TWRP restore went great. Coming from 19s on unlocked bootloader & TWRP. Now on 20s.

Wipe system, cache, divak cache (didn't wipe data)

Flash boot & system partitions only

Than flash SuperSU.

Rebooted and it went well.

I can't restore a backup my 20s with twrp...always stop with lockscreen not recognizing the fingerprint/pin. What can I do?

Inviato dal mio LEX720 utilizzando Tapatalk
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] seffmono:
Try to format data in TWRP, but before that, pull your TWRP to your PC, copy it to a USB and restore after formatting data in TWRP. Or backup your apps with titanium backup in your current ROM, download the TWRP backup here, put it into a usb. Do a full wipe In TWRP, do a data format after that attach the USB to your phone and choose external storage and then restore.

Hope that helps

I unzipped the file in my TWRP/BACKUPS/<serial> directory, but when I go to Restore in TWRP and select it, the "Select which Partitions to Restore" list is empty...What am I doing wrong?
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] seffmono:
Check "select storage" and make sure you put it in your sdcard, if in and USB, then you should select that USB in "select storage" before selecting "restore" and it when opening it in your sdcard, it should go like this TWRP/BACKUPS/SERIAL/DATE. After date then you will see the backup files.

Dude, you're a hero ... thank you very much.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Datamancer:
It's not an issue of selecting storage - I unzipped it in /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/<serial> right next to one of my actual backups. The only difference is that the actual backup does indeed start with a date string. Is that required? The unzipped folder is just called "TWRP", but it contains all of the restore files...but when I go to restore and select the TWRP folder, it tells me at the top when the backup was made (It's reporting it as today, basically when I unzipped it), but there is nothing listed under "Select Partitions to Restore". I have the option to "Swipe to restore", but that makes me nervous, as I'm only trying to restore the boot partition

EDIT: Oh jeez, nvm. I just checked the dir again and it's formatted wrong. My mistake. I think I can get it right this time...

EDIT2: Yep, I was dumb. I got it sorted out. Thank you for your help

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

Just imagine, you got back to 727 with locked bootloader and the OEM unlocked and debugging hasn't been toggle, because I can't boot to the OS, and more no factory recovery and even TWRP. Now tell me if they can fixed this without a factory type c cable, it's a specialized cable I used to the old Kindle Fire with the great HASHCODE?

Plus.... Remember 727 with 20's OS can't be unlocked, bootloader. ?
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] seffmono:
I think you should be able to flash in fastboot mode.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] imna357:
Nope, with bootloader locked.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] seffmono:
Well maybe this should work, flash the aboot file. Take it from the persistent unlock thread, after flashing. Reboot the bootloader and then flash the fastboot ROM from Grossoshop. Just give it a try, it may work as the aboot file with unlock the bootloader.

I must be missing something. I'm curious about one thing in the OP. It says "Note: will advise not to check the recovery during the restoration as it will restore the stock recovery."

Since this backup was created within TWRP, why wouldn't the recovery that got backed up be TWRP instead of stock?
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] seffmono:
Because the recovery in the TWRP is the stock recovery, if you wish to have the stock recovery you can include it, but if not then don't include it and your TWRP recovery will still remain, even after the restoration.

Been trying to update my phone to 20s but in twrp can't update........

used the other method. back to stock taking the 21s update
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sga999:
I understood the part about including/excluding it, depending on whether I wanted the recovery restored. But I did not know that the recovery that is backed up by TWRP is the stock one. I don't know enough about this, but I had assumed that since TWRP was flashed, it would be in the "recovery partition". And therefore, I assumed that would be the partition that was backed up. But you cleared up my misperception!

I tried reading a little more about partitions, but I didn't discover much. Does the stock recovery remain in the recovery partition, even when TWRP is flashed? If so, where does TWRP get stored? Sorry if this is not be the right place for this discussion. But in other android devices that I have had, TWRP does not offer the option of backup/restore of recovery. So this unusual feature of this device made me have more questions. Thanks.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] seffmono:
In this TWRP recovery, the options to backup and restore recovery is available in other phones with TWRP as well, maybe you didn't take note. If the stock recovery is flashed it remains, if the TWRP recovery is flashed it remains also all you need us to decide if you want the stock recovery or TWRP recovery, but if you are the type who like to test different kind of Roms always then it is advised that you let the TWRP recovery remain, so that you can flash, backup and restore as well as many other features which you cannot do with stock recovery.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sga999:
I understand the need for TWRP or other custom recovery, so I'm not questioning that.

I have Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, and I don't see the option to backup recovery in TWRP.

Sorry my question wasn't clear. Can I tell this TWRP to backup either TWRP OR stock recovery? Or if the recovery box is checked, does it automatically backup stock? When it backs up stock, where does it get it from? I thought the recovery partition would contain TWRP, so it must be getting the stock recovery from some other partition?
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] seffmono:
Ah OK I get you now, before the backup, I only boot up TWRP so I can make the back of the stock ROM. If TWRP is boot up through fastboot mode, it will not replace the stock recovery. It will boot up only just to allow flash and do anything from TWRP recovery which is not available with the stock recovery. But if TWRP is flashed it will automatically replace the stock recovery, in that case the stock recovery will not be available anymore.... So it was only Booted up to be able to make the backup that is why the stock recovery was included in the backup.... I Hope it is clear to you now.
