[Sony Cross-Device General] crestfallen.still96:
There's a difference between old PC Companion firmware download location and the NEW Xperia Companion firmware download location.

I literally searched everywhere and was not able to find it anywhere.

I know the old PC companion location is

C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db

And then it moved to

C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\localstorage

And now since the software changed its name to Xperia Companion, I wasn't able to find any related location.

I know for a fact that the folders are now under the name Sony instead of Sony Mobile, since the install location was

C:\Program Files\Sony\Xperia Companion

And the old Sony PC Companion's install location was

C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\

Any clue on the new firmwares location?
[Sony Cross-Device General] crestfallen.still96:
I was able to find it under the location

C:\Users\"USERNAME"\AppData\Local\Temp\xperiacompanion\deltaupdates

But it's weird, instead of it consisting of 4 files "then using flashtool to create an FTF", it's under one file with an extention of ".pkg"

Any idea on this?
[Sony Cross-Device General] lebigmac:
Hi. I have the exact same problem as the user above. I downloaded the latest Nougat update through Xperia Companion and it's a .pkg file.

Can I just directly flash this using Flashtool? Is it the equivalent of a .FTF firmware file?

I tried to decrypt it using Flashtool but it didn't recognize the file type.

Whenever I try to install it using Xperia Companion I get this error:

an error occured while updating your device.
Error code: kResultCode_DeltaUpdateResultDidReturnFail
[Sony Cross-Device General] eldamobo:
For me, I think I found the firmware in:

C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\localstorage\US

There was a large 2gb file in there created when I ran the firmware restore for an Xperia.

I pointed the Flashtool at the directory, and it was able to decrypt the files and proceeded to create a bundle.

I'm not sure if the bundle is usable, but flashtool has stored it away as an ftf
[Sony Cross-Device General] ch3mn3y:
Checked all posted here places and no files corresponding to Android P Beta.

Wanted to see what kind of files it's build off.

Maybe it's possible to create .ftf (in the future) for Flashtool or unpack it for NewFlasher?

Any idea where else it may be stored?

Nothing in:

- C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile

- C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\xperiacompanion

- C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony

- C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile

- C:\Program Files\Sony
[Sony Cross-Device General] simeoni:
The AppData\Local\Temp\xperiacompanion\deltaupdates has as the name suggests only a delta update for the current firmware.

When you do a software repair, full firmware (and always the latest published) is downloaded to C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\localstorage\US where you can find the FILE_* files which can be used for creating FTF.
[Sony Cross-Device General] roy_naber:
C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine
[Sony Cross-Device General] bigrammy:
I Agree I just had a look on my Windows partitions and they are stored at C:/ProgramData/Sony Mobile/Update Engine/localstorage/"A_FOLDER_Numbers_OR_Name"

I have to say it's been like 2 years since I last run the Xperia Companion firmware so things may of changed in that time

hello everyone,i have a chinese phone called onyx 1 from eurostar brand.the problem is it connects perfectly to any wifi and the wifi icon shows up in the status bar but there is totally no internet.i have tried almost everything to solve this issue but with no luck.i was thinking whether is it a hardware problem? and it has the option to uninstall system apps in settings so is there a chance that a system app might have got uninstalled and thats the reason there are internet problems? need help....without internet the phone is really unusable...
[XDA Assist] xanthrax:
Hi !

I don`t think you have removed any related apps not be able to connect to internet

Maybe the phone can`t read your router`s frequency bands , switch between 2.4 and 5ghz or even reset your router

Alternatively you can try other hotspot

Good luck !

You can try it for a few days and will see the Predicted time should match closely with the Actual time which will result in successful prediction. If all goes well, BatteryCare should resume again. Please be reminded to set the alarm clock BEFORE plugging in.

BTW, you should see values in Score and Less than 1 week after the first charging event. But currently the value for Score is not very accurate. I'm working on it now.

What is battery care? I'm root so if you tell me what I have to install, I can try if you want
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] pk-air:
Battery care works only if you are very consistent on your battery charge time. For example: If you charge your phone every day at 8pm and take of of charge at 6am battery care will remember it and activate automatically and will try manage your usage based on that time but if there will be discrepancies in charging time and usage and you are not consistent in your charging time battery care useless and will not work. Unless I am wrong on my statement and someone can tell otherwise.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
I had the same issue, stopped working after the December update. Worked again in a week or so. Give it time and report back
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] itandy:
So do you see a message pop up every night when you plug your phone to the charger? If so then Battery Care should work properly. Then you can extract the above files using any root file manager.

Battery Care works by learning your charging pattern and avoid overcharging and thus prolong the battery life.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] itandy:
My charging pattern is very consistent. But when I browse the learning table created by Battery Care, it doesn't seem to learn properly at all. If you have Battery Care working, I appreciate if you could send me the above files to study.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] pk-air:

But your phone actually activated Battery Care 5 times and your charging pattern is really irregular and random. I doubt Battery Care can learn anything from it. :confused:

Yeah thats what I told you. My usage is not the same everyday so my battery care does not always activate.

Wondering!

If they(Sony) can stop charging at 90% for sometime, then why not completely stop charging after 100% ?

And if someone wants to charge again then he can disconnect and reconnect to charge.

For that I use power bank to charge my phone over night, as PBank automatically shuts down when less current is passing(meaning 100% charged)

Is this idea stupid?

What is this File??

~Nothing much.. Its just an app that allows you to change the hd icon to volte icon. :)

How to make this icon appear in your phone??

~ Nougat Users download the volte patch by Sudeep Duhoon from here and MM users get it from here

Special thanks to sudeep for making this amazing thread.. :highfive:

~Download the ims.zip from below and extract it so that you will get a file called ims.apk. Now drag and drop it to the system>vendor>app>ims>.ims.apk in the volte patch folder and replace the existing ims.apk (Click overwrite if asked)

Copy and paste the original ims file incase you want to go back to HD icon

After that flash the new zip via any custom recovery and reboot :) New Volte Icon will Appear instead of HD Icon

What version of Xposed Framework installer to use Elephone S7 CPU MTK Helio X25? I can not run the Xposed framework. An error message pops up - SDK 23 is not compatible with your processor architecture arm64-V8A. According to information Aida64 is the Android phone 6 64bit SDK23. Does anyone have the same problems?

Can anyone advise how to deploy Xposed?

edit unavix - this is the solution to my problems:

The problem I have managed to solve. I had to reinstall the rom. I used factory 10012017 rom download here - http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-12895-1-1.html#.WIDWBFXhBaQ (ROM is suitable for the x20 and x25 CPU)

In the folder with the rom I changed recovery.img. I used TWRP from jemmini - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70600646&postcount=13

And of course twrp flash SuperSU.

Then restart your phone. Then back to twrp, flash SDK 23 to 87 arm64 version here - http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/

Restart the phone. Install Xposed Installer 3.1.1 apk. Again restart the phone. Then download modules, installation and setup.

Now everything works as it should.

Excuse my bad English.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VEX.avk:
Hello everyone and sorry in advance if my question seems too stupid or issue looks non-reproducible.

I suppose everyone here agrees that there is no night mode in 7.1.1 on Nexus 6.

But nevertheless I have very odd 'night-mode'-like issue in auto-brightness behavior on my Nexus 6 running stock 7.1.1.

I have noticable brightness jumps exactly on sunrise and sunset times (up and down respectively) and much darker brightness levels at night. This is sometimes annoying and sometimes useful.

Earlier when flashing OTA from 7.0 to 7.1.1 I've unintentionally left night mode turned on (feature enabled by eponymous app).

Can anyone give advise on ADB commands to modify possible reminiscent auto-brigtness-related settings?

I want to to turn off this mode or at least confirm I'm not hallucinating on this but don't want to make the whole factory reset.
