[General Questions and Answers] NPboeuf:
Hey so yesterday I rooted my venue 7840 to try and fix the battery which kept dying at 40, but after rooting it I tried to boot it into recovery mode to wipe the battery stats but every time I try to boot it into recovery it will just restart the bootloader and never actually go into recovery mode. What could be causing this? And is there a way to fix it?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Ashwinrg:
I think you mess your recovery. Flash your recovery again. You can use Rashr app for these.
[General Questions and Answers] NPboeuf:
Okay so what if there is not custom recovery for my device? I had to do a tethered recovery when I rooted it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noelthomas01:
My device is Spice Dream Uno mi-498. So I flashed the TWRP recovery on my device via fastboot it ended successfully. So i entered the command ' fastboot reboot' in the command prompt. And since, the device is not booting, stuck in bootloop, I guess. Help me?
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calvinerico:
Guys! please helppp.. after i flash Stable Global ROM with Fastboot, it didnt boot properly.. only boots to mi logo then reboot and so on.. i can only access fastboot mode and thats it.. please help :( i searched anywhere and there's no answer
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattia990:
It happened also to me. I changed the battery and i resolved the problem(I solved it by changing the battery). Now it works!
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4everNewbie:
Use adb to flash twrp recovery then flash other roms using the recovery
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calvinerico:
So it's a hardware problem? It's hard to find a sparepart for this device
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calvinerico:
How can i use adb when my only option is fastboot?
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4everNewbie:
Adb requires device to be in fastboot mode in order to flash recovery :D
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattia990:
I bought It in eBay(you can easily found It), i spent 15 euros
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calvinerico:
so just put my mi3 in fastboot mode and try adb on it? i'll try
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiwawa10:
So long as you can enter fastboot mode, trying using MiFlash to flash official global MIUI rom first. I encountered this situation before. Below are roughly what I did.

1. Enter into Fastboot and flash official global MIUI rom using MiFlash

2. Flash TWRP recovery using ADB sideload

3. Flash my custom rom using TWRP

It's all good for me but I lost all my user data in the process because I deleted all user data before starting the process.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wryel:
I can charge my phone through USB when connecting to my laptop, but it does show up as a device, anywhere. I've tried ADB, Fastboot, and Device Manager. It doesn't even show up in Device Manager as an unknown device (e.g. yellow exclamation point). I've enabled USB debugging, changed the USB configuration to File Transfers, used multiple cables (including the OOB red one), multiple machines (Windows 10 and 7), but I see nothing. No storage drive, no errors, no Windows sound indicating a device has been connected. But still it charges. I thought about wiping to factory settings, but given I'm not connecting via Fastboot or ADB, is that even worth trying?

I'm on OOS 3.5.6 unrooted and bootloader is still locked, although I've previously had other builds and TWRP on it (so USB used to work for data). I figure that OnePlus won't support me because the screen is cracked in the bottom corner, but I don't see how that could have broken just the data pins and not the charging ones. I think I had this problem before I dropped the phone, but I can't be 100%.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rkhan48:
Same problem

I too have the same problem , I too have never rooted it ...Never dropped , never rooted but still suffering from the same problem...
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prajwalprao:
There is an option in the develiper options...

That has these issues sorted with

Try it out there or just let me know

Try changing the cable too. The pins might have worn out

P. S I do not have the issue. Suggestions only
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csclouse:
Hope anybody can help with this. My phone will no longer turn on or charge at all. Not even the indicator light is lighting up when on the charger. Ive tried resetting the phone, holding down the power button and using my computer to see if it recognizes it. Nothing has worked. Does anybody have any suggestions?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpasut:
You say you've tried holding down the power button; have you tried holding down the power button AND the volume down button? I'd try that first, as the phone is plugged in. If that doesn't do anything, I'd try with a different cable.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csclouse:
Yes, have tried both of those. Still no dice
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
There is an earlier thread with many ppl claiming that holding only the power button down for an extended time brought the phone back. They were talking 1-2 minutes and the phone popped back on. Were you not experiencing any issues before it happened out of the blue, or was there a weak battery or phone heat issue first?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csclouse:
Heat issue popped up first. Let it cool. And it was on and still working. I rebooted it and this happened
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Sorry to hear that man. Leave it on the stock charger a few hours/overnight and try again? RMA for battery/repair if eligible. If not, try to locate a decent replacement battery.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clouse2013:
Talked to a Google rep and got a free replacement thankfully. Wonder what did it though. Only a year old too
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
There are a lot of hardware issues with this phone, unfortunately. At least you were lucky enough that Google helped you out. If that happened a few months later you might not have been so lucky. Did they replace the phone or the battery?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pist0lpete:
Same thing happened to me and Google took care of me. So glad I bought through Google originally.

WhatsApp Users

For all of you who have been lamenting the poor notification situation on Nougat, cried over the fact that you only see the most recent message making the whole "notification" thing completely useless, things are looking out.

In version WhatsApp Messenger 2.17.21 beta (grab it from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/whatsa...atsapp-messenger-2-17-21-android-apk-download), WhatsApp has properly implemented notifications on Android 7.0 and 7.1 Nougat devices.

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] arokososoo:
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THIS ANDROID 7 ON Z3+.

Advantages..

1. Battery is lasting more than MM.

2. Stamina mode comes with 3 level stamina features.

3. Split Screen Apps are awesome.

4. Heating is less, I think they avhieved that by closing the background apps.

5.Camera app doesnt heatup the phone and lasts open till 5 min( I checked for 5 minutes only may be it ll show heating warning after that, I just dont know about it).

6. Now both the wallpaper and lockscreen can be handled easily with the same option WALLPAPER provided at SETTING app.

Disadvantages.

1. The Icons for the apps CONTACTS, MESSAGING, PHONE, CAMERA are so ugly.

2. One cannot go to the homepage by clicking recent navbar and then by clicking at the clear space of the recent apps menu.

3. While phone is locked the phone doesnt react to double tap unlock like it used to be in MM.

4. While the phone is locked the Icons of battery, network, clock etc are placed slightly lower than the Icons placed in the unlocked screen. LOCKING UNLOCKING CREATES AN UGLY LOOK OF MISPLACEMENT OF THESE ICONS.

5. The Battery icon in the status bar is too weird. ( Doesnt like it look).

6. The Data traffic indicator ( the small arrows up and down are way too small, the indicator which shows below 2g, 3g, H+ and LTE on the status bar)

7. They removed the option of selecting the FOCUS MODE in the camera app.

8. I compared the pictures taken by my phone when its in LP, MM AND N, I must say in LP this phone used to capture photos brilliantly, in MM the pics are somewhat lower than LP. But in N the pics quality are not upto marks. I think thats all because of this focus thing. Now the phone focus the way it wants to).

9. Remove/ Quit apps wisely, I am downloading some apps from UC BROWSER and then I exit the app and keep the downloading in the background but when I cleared the app from the recent apps list just to make my recent app section to look empty, it stopped my downloading too and the APP UC BROWSER was completely shut. (This option is in LP TOO BUT NOT IN MM) So close apps wisely.

11. They abandoned the small apps, Yes they are there but not easily accessible, now accessing small apps are quit pain in the ASS.

12. The apps in the Recent apps looks very big.

13. New quick tiles are good but one cannot direct shut data from there.

Thats all dear Fellas, I like the UI OF MM more than this N.

I THINK SONY JUST BAKED THIS N FOR US IN HURRY.

If I missed anything than please guys you can add that on your comments.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] batmobile_bang:
I really think the Android N update is very good for this device. Camera quality has improved in N - try some low light shots - noise is much lower. The UI is very fluid.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] DomusX10:
For my device not update notice for now...but I see that in Russia update is out in these days...

So, for now I can't comment about N on my Z3+...but thank you very much for this thread...I hope more users tell opinions about this new update...

I would like to learn more about:

- camera is more fast or not, compared to MM? About picture quality seems the two different opinions are contrary..so, other user opinion about camera?:confused:

- N as it looks in terms of reactivity on our device?

- Audio? From speakers and in headset? There are some new optimizations or similar?

Thanks in advance to all
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] kiosk123:
I checked xpericheck and Ru customisation and in ARENT THERE! They delete it or what?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] DomusX10:
Yes..seems that deleted on every customization...
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] kiosk123:
Why? Maybe they add some features (manual camera settings etc.) or this update have many erros....
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] DomusX10:
Hope that removed for the reasons you've mentioned :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] AG Themes:
Using Nougat Indian Firmware

Advantages-

1. Camera quality is better

2. Split screen

3. Smooth Ui

4. Performance Enhancment

5. Battery backup improved

6. Brightness dim Issue in sunlight is fixed upto great extent

7. Heating issue is much more solved

Disadvantages ( Huge list but Listing major one)

1. Touch issue (Lackness in touch sensitivity)

2. No manual Focus in Camera Menu

3. Sound Quality reduced (Vibrations in back panel)

4. Can't download apps frome playstore in Roaming.

5. Now we have to double tap to activate data from notification bar

So, its better to push updates for fixing these problems. I hope sony would release updates.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] S1gma:
Number 4 and 5 from @ag_themes list are customisation dependent. Both are not present in Russian Nougat that also was on servers before withdrawal.

Also I don't have any touch issues. The sound problems mentioned are the main reason of update withdrawal.

Btw. No overheating is probably connected with reduced usage of a57 cores. Nougat uses them rarely comparing to marshmallow (some report says they are disabled in nougat).
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Omega200:
Can someone upload Russian fw? I want to flash it
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] drigger_one:
Using Android Nougat on India Version

Split Screen is advantage (but not many app support however you can force them to)

Slightly more responsive ( like 5 percent)

camera is same (with an added option in manual mode)

audio is also similar

i feel battery consumption when device is used is same ( maybe doze helps when phone is in sleep but i didnt notice much improvement)

My device hanged once (in youtube app). Restarted itself after 5 mins.

Indirect access to small apps ( i never really used them)

{

Other things such as detailed (two taps to toggle) mobile data , wifi and bluetooth. Displays important things on settings , NOtification quick reply these are android N features sony didnt mess with

}

I feel its an simple upgrade of API . Everything else is similar to MM.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] arokososoo:
HELP

Is your phone is ringing on calls? Mine doesnt ringing from the day I updated to nougat.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] drigger_one:
Yes it is.

Make sure you have applied a ringtone and its not in Do Not Disturb mode.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] waseemakhtar:
Mine did the same thing. After restart it is working fine now.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Omega200:
Can someone share the ftf?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] arokososoo:
NOTE#

Not working even after restarting several times
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] prasad.asr1978@gmail.com:
Mine working fine after update. Try clean reflash and install apps from play store NOT from backup.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] arokososoo:
IMPORTANT

HELLO PRASHAD, I HEARD YOU GET ROOT WITHOUT UNLOCKING BL? Some guy is spreading that news. Is it true?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] prasad.asr1978@gmail.com:
Nope, not true. With out bootloader unlock, it is impossible to root the device.

IOVYROOT will get temp root access to backup the TA Partition, but after reboot, the device loses the root access. It is only for taking backup, you can not modify the system. If you try to modify the system with temp root access, your device will be dead after reboot. :)

Z3+ update

My Z3 + goes better with N .. camera is good .. battery too .. less heating ... very fluffy inferface I xperiment littles anomalys in the tactic ..
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] anhbv:
Sometime my touchscreen totally complete unuseable. Phone is not freeze, i still can use power and volume button normal but touching screen doen't work. I think my touchscreen is broken but after use hard-reboot key (small yellow key at sim/sd card slot) it back to nomal.

Some time phone lost sound, it completely silent, just restart and it back to normal.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] henry_veijer:
Do you still need ftf?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Omega200:
Nope, i found it, thx. But i have a terrible battery drain with phone idle. Now i have 41% cand phone idle used 237 mah with time on 17h 40 min...
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] henry_veijer:
That is very strange. My battery drain over night is very good, mostly around 3-4% but sometimes even 0-1%!
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Omega200:
Actually battery doesn't drain over night, last 2 nights I got 100% over the night, but battery is somehow draining, look at my screenshots
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] DomusX10:
Seems that Sony re-push on server the Nougat update from Xperia Z3+..(XperiFirm says only in Russia for now)...

Reading in a popular blog of Xperia ;) seems that the bugs founded before Sony stopping delivery nougat update, remains.

Someone that have received the update can post his impression here? :confused:
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Wing00w0:
Yeah less heating because the only 2.0 ghz processor that was on in mm is now gone, we now have a midrange cellphone (quadcore at 1.5 ghz) with 3 gb on ram and 32gb internal memory
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] DomusX10:
Why you say that?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Wing00w0:
Well let's start because in mm we had 4 processors of 1.5ghz running always and of the other 4 one also on (you can verify using cpu-z you mark 0 to 3 of 1.5ghz and 4 to 7 of 2ghz) and could To turn on any 4 to 7 but only one, now with the split screen you can put the cpu-z and do whatever it is (I use facebook) and always are only the first 4 on the 1.5ghz there is never any 2ghz.

I tried it with whatsapp, messenger, facebook, chrome, and it always uses 4, that's why it heats less I say, it's not as if it was noticed with the naked eye, but in some details, The 2 ghz helped the others now always to the maximum.

And so I tried that it was not much I was playing dead trigger 2 and in mm the first 3 missions were always lag until it "warmed" and then it ran smoothly, now it runs smooth from the beginning but at certain times small lags when surcharge , Or starts to build something sometimes exploit a barrel and kill 8 zombies as if nothing and sometimes lags like 2 seconds, does not heat the same but can sjugar 2 hours and does those little lags, and in mm not only 8 mins and Ran divine (as good as can not s7 hehe)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] DomusX10:
Mmmm...understand. :good: Thank you very much friend.

This is the way that Sony use to control overheating? So bad...:confused:

We have a monster cpu, running with chains at half power... :(

So, I 'll aspect that Real Racing 3 performance decrease in time like your example..because 4 processors instead of 7 mean lags a lot..
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Wing00w0:
you are welcome i only tell my experience, In fact I have not tried with that game but I will do to see that such runs, but if we have a monster cpu with muzzle. I would prefer to leave the 4 running at 2ghz than the 1.5 say 500mhz x4 is better preferred the heat it generated in mm but running the 4 to 2ghz and one of 1.5ghz and not vice versa.

What I notice is that with the split screen has no lag or I have not met him, I still do not get used to the notifications but it is excellent that I do not have to wait for the window to open the whatsapp just touch, write and fast is sent .
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] DomusX10:
Thank you very much for your description. ;)

I'm still with MM because in Italy (at today) has not yet been released Nougat.

By the way I live with the experiences of others for the moment, partly because I don't want to flash different firmware from the original, because as I have seen on XperiFirm, currently released only for Russia.

In any case, had long expected this android version, for the split-screen and not just for it: I'm still waiting for when Google will be finally available a dark UI stock by Android, because with all this 'white' in the settings of the various screens, messaging and everything else, really annoying especially in the evening use of device... :(

A choice for the UI dark would be ideal and it is by MM times we talked about ... but still nothing by 'stock' only with custom ROMs. :(

You saw something about DARK UI it in the settings of new firmware? :confused:
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Wing00w0:
Well I have a z3+ dual from Hong Kong and I put a Malaysia firmware the only difference I noticed it's the Spotify pre-installed only that, I changed region because mine it was still in. 305 and all the other in. 11 or nougat so it's horrible to wait jeje ok yes the white it's sometimes annoying, the themes in mm now work in half sometimes changes everything sometimes only colors and wallpaper the soft buttons no, other themes still changes them, the only themes I have that change the ui color are 2 jeje

That's the most "black" I found sadly because I liked the black to jeje.

The other annoying thing that I really hate until I get used to it is the change of apps when you press the button well yes the list of apps opened appears but the currently app you have opened its in the bottom almost beside the soft buttons no matter how many apps you have it goes to the bottom

And some times in the hurry you finish opening all of them buy not the one you want jajaja.

Another one when you receive a whatsapp it puts the notification, ok yes good, only if it's one message when the person types 2 o 3 you can read them in the notification like in mm but if the person send another text like 10 seconds after, the new message it's the only one you can read in the notifications the other 2 or 3 messages before are mm hoy to say...gone? They don't appear! But if it's 1 message for one person then another for other person the 2 messages appears like in mm so sometimes it's like wtf!? Buy maybe it's that I haven't stay more time trying to se wtf happened step to step(using a familiar phone to typing me letters jeje to se what's happens exactly)

Now let's suppose you receive a whatsapp message if you are typing the answer and you receive another what's even from. the same person, bye bye all you were typing so it's for using it wisely.

For the moment it's what I found.

Battery mmm well I don't want to talk about it because I only got 1 day and always I get to home with 30 to 20% today was 28% so I have to test it right now it says 20 hours my estimated it's 14 to 16 hours
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] hermenjunior:
It is true that the cpu changed to Quad core
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Wing00w0:
Yup its horrible but true
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] DomusX10:
Thanks for all your info.

At this point I don't think that update to Sony nougat.

I hope that LineageOS for our Z3+ will be stable soon..because this situation it's a very piece of ****..

An octa core become a quad core? Sony what do you think? ???

[MENTION=8027231]hermenjunior[/MENTION] Indian version is damn awesome # but ugly as hell on the other side!!!

#4 cores disabled and remaining got underclocked to 1.5 which was 2ghz in MM

#Heating... Not much more coz of disabled cores

#speaker volume got reduced a bit

#everything is as ugly as gray

## No lags _

##Snappppyyyyyyy _buttery smooth os

##Everything is fasttt_I must say it's quicker

##Battery life is greatly improved (again coz of disabled cores and data saver plays a role here)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] DomusX10:
Really, I can't find a reason to hardware disable 4 cores....:confused:

Insert a specific setting in the battery settings to disable cores, but let the user choice it! In this way user can only soffer of this decision..

In the z5 version of nougat, happened the same?

Because I think that if this choice of disabled cores is only for z3+, it's a marketing choice..:(
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Pwruser:
Z5 variants also got underclocked and disabled 4cores!! Yep!! That would be nice if they leave the users with an option to control over device performance!!! I think they did this to overcome heat issues!! Nw my device stutters on chrome and someother areas while scrolling!!! Ha ha ha
