[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gewiz:
For me it's damn quick and much faster than my s4mini with 1,5 gb ram andCm13 before. However i'm using the mod i posted since short after buying because it got too hot sometimes.

In your case i would try the nougat firmware, from what i read it's faster than MM with better Battery Life and like iArvee mentioned less heat.

If you look for another phone, X compact would be the stats you mentioned. However some say Z5C is still better. I cannot compare, but there is an own Thread in the general section. Phones in this size group with good specs are pretty rare lately.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iArvee:
Honestly, no. The phone is not sluggish at all whatsoever. Though if you do wish to go for a new phone, then as [MENTION=7861286]Gewiz[/MENTION] mentioned, the X Compact is your best bet. That is, if you wish to stick with Sony. On paper, the Z5C is faster than the X Compact, but the 600 series does not heat up as fast as the 810. Keep in mind though, the X Compact is not Water resistant. I was going for the X Compact, but went for the Z5C instead because of the IP68. :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhaha:
I suspect it's due to the limited 2GB RAM, it's not enough for what your girlfriend is using her phone for.

Similar situation with my wife, we both have a Z5C bought around the same time, mine's very fast and responsive, yet my wife's takes forever to do anything. There's a big difference in how we use our phones, mine's relatively clean, stock, rooted and I use Greenify to help.

Her phone on the other hand has all these custom girly themes, Facebook app (notorious memory hog, I don't use it), a dozen or so photo editing apps that just refuse to hibernate (according to Greenify I later installed on her non-rooted phone in an effort to help improve things) and also eats up memory like there's no tomorrow... it's like a jungle of apps and stuff all over the place. She has horrific battery life as well.

I actually offered to switch phones with her a few weeks ago, since I feel like my phone was optimized and in great condition. However, once all of her apps and customization went into effect, it instantly became noticeably slower. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At least she now has Greenify to auto hibernate those pesky apps that she absolutely refuses to delete.

Meanwhile, her original phone that I'm now using got a make over with my clean, lean and mean treatment and is running like a champ.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eng3:
I'm still running Xpower 5. I tried moonwalkers rom and it seemed faster but it would also cause a boot loop after a few days. I find the phone CAN be very sluggish as well. I think it has to do with the memory as well. Sometimes I start an app (ie. Google voice or ES file manager) and it pops up instantly. Sometimes it pops up but the screen is blank and it literally sits for maybe 5 seconds before anything happens. The camera can be worse. Sometimes even opening the app drawer gives a lag. Android Auto is just always slow. I've found that if I use an app killer and clear out some memory the phone becomes more responsive. Yes, the OS should automatically do this, but it doesnt seem to do a very good job. If I'm starting an app thats not in memory, it should make no difference whether the memory is empty or the OS needs to kill something to make room. Maybe the process of clearing out space in memory has some lag.

I would switch phones in a heartbeat but I like the smaller form factor and nearly all other phones in the world are bigger.

Regarding facebook, I did this with my older phone because of how bad FB is, there is a "facebook lite" app you can get which is designed for lesser phones. It runs much better but it is more limited.

I'm waiting for a usable nougat rom to try. hopefully that will help

Here's a quick cab file I made to change the default Blue theme on touch cube to RED, I will post cab files for green, yellow theme etc..

Just install then do a SR for the change to take effect, if you don't like it un-install SR to go back to Blue;)

*Please Note: this is only been tested on Touch Dual aka Niki on Orange UK ROM and HTCAsia WEE ROM may not work on other ROM or devices.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] kllo88:
Hi gfreek, I have tried on my touch dual (as named in HK), not so smooth using with the cube, and sometimes display hidden file names. Removed it at last. But thanks anyway.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] pp18:
in my HK Traditional Chinese version of Touch Dual, all Red*.brn and Red*.png required by the cube are already available in ROM. this means changing to Red color scheme is as easy as modifying the ColorSkin reg key value from "Blue" to "Red". I also noticed availability of some Green*.brn but seems the set is incomplete.

maybe some brothers from other locations can check whether they have \Windows\Red*.brn (e.g. RedA0.brn) on their devices. ;)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] HTCzar:
I´ve tried this CAB, but it´s not working on my Dual, in fact it messed up my Cube, had to remove it...

pp18 I have in my touch the files you mentioned, how do you put your cube with red theme?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] pp18:
simply edit this registry key:

[HKLM\Software\HTC\ColorSkin]

"Color" = "Red"

(original value is "Blue")

after all, i found that there are more files named Blue*.brn/png than Red*.brn/png. there is possibility that certain built-in HTC application may have "missing skin" problem after changing to "Red" color scheme. yet, at least on my device all *.brn needed by the cube are there.

you can read this thread for more info about these image files
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] gfreek:
Spot on pp18! if all the Red*.brn files are not present in the Windows directory it will NOT work so it is ROM dependent however, I have tested this hack on both Orange UK ROM and now my present HTCAsia WEE ROM it works on both!

HTCzar what ROM is your touch dual?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] pp18:
yours is a HK version? do you have the CSL 4-sided cube or the standard 3-sided one? the trick gfreek made should not work on CSL 4-sided one, as there are red-scheme images for only 3 sides in the ROM.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] HTCzar:
I have an HTC Touch Dual TMN Portuguese ROM.

The change in registry key didn´t work in my HTC Dual, the Cube is still Blue :mad:

Can you post the files needed for this change?

The earpiece on wife's 5x has stopped working, so she has to use speakerphone for calls.

I've tested the speaker using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blackflame.internalspeakertester - no sound from it at all.

Before I change the speaker module, this isn't a common fault is it?

I'm pretty certain it's not software, so not going to bother hard resetting.

Also, how difficult is replacing the speaker module? iFixit teardown looks pretty easy, and the part is super cheap, except the part is located underneath everything else!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yilun:
Mine started crackling after a screen replacement, i filed a complaint and they said they could fix it, but it would take 2 or 3 weeks. I told them **** off.

Yesterday I tried fixing it myself, took the module out, and realized it was missing the cushion. So I placed a bit of microphone sponge on it and it sounds a bit better, but not 100%. Im gonna take it apart again today and try something else.

Regardless, its easy to take the earpiece out, you dont have to take out the other components, just the back cover and the screw on cover with the fp sensor.

I had the same situation after replacing the screen and frame. I swapped all the components and the speaker phone worked but not the earpiece. I took it apart and messed around with the leads and got it to work, but strangely, if the 4 screws on the bottom side of the phone are too tight only the speaker phone works...if I remove that portion of plastic altogether only the earpiece speaker works...and if I put that plastic piece on, but keep the screws somewhat loose, both speakers seem to work as intended. The only problem is, I don't know how long it will work properly in this precarious condition. Any clue as to what's happening?

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] megachaoren:
I had my personal gmail and work email (a google email account) set up on my Honor 8 with EMUI 4.1. It worked fine. After upgrading to EMUI5.0 last night (2/10), my Device Policy failed to comply. It always asked me "Password is required to start device" and I followed the instruction to set a password, but when I clicked on "Next", the Device Policy continued to show "password is required to start device". I tried rebooting and reset the whole phone, it's not working. I suspect that this may be due to encryption requirement set by my company, but there is no way to choose "encryption" anywhere in the Setting menu.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivasrage:
Ok Guy's

In the last few weeks there are more and more people struggling

with their devices so I decided to make a thread about a POSSIBLE fix.

It seems nobody knows what happens exactly.. but at some point the

download mode is no more accessible and you can only enter booloader mode with the white screen.

And once more this is only a Possible fix....no magical repair for your defective emmc or something like that.

This should only be a little help for some of you guys I´m not responsible for anything.

You do this on your own.

If it works, a hit on the thanks button would be nice, if not sad to say but I think you have to

go to the repair center.

We are starting at the point that you are familiar with fastboot and have a correct setup with drivers etc. on

your PC. (If not... search the forum and read how to set it up)

Files are signed so they should be also flashable with s-on.

Steps:

1. Download the Package for your Android-Version :

Lollipop:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ts8tur5tkzv1o4l/0PJA_HIMA_L51_service_hosd_collection_900002.zip?dl=0

Marshmallow:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pgw3hslknajl9kc/0PJA_HIMA_M60_service_hosd_collection_900001.zip?dl=0

Nougat:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2azzxi9q65iilsj/0PJA_HIMA_N70_service_hosd_collection_9000033.zip?dl=0

2. Unzip it and take the CORRECT hosd.img for your version. (best is... you know wich version you have)

3. Connect M9 in bootlader mode and flash with fastboot:

fastboot flash hosd <filname>.img

4. MAYBE now you can enter download mode again.

5. If you don't know what version you have you can try one file after another..

fastboot outputs only okay when the right hosd.img is flashed.

(try to boot to download after every file)

6. If no one work it's pretty sure that your emmc is broken.

There is nothing more I know or I can do for you

so I can't give more support after this point.

Good Luck

To everyone whos's searching for alternative/new download links:

You can find the hosd.img inside of the RUUs that are posted in the ReadMe thread. The decryption tool that is linked in its RUU section will help you to extract the needed file from the encrypted RUUs.

For being on the safe side you should only use files from RUUs that are matching your current firmware version. You can try to use the files from other RUUs with a similar version if there's none available for your current firmware/your SKU, though. However, never flash a CDMA file on a GSM phone or vice versa.

Hi guys,

maybe you can help me, otherwise I will open a new thread.

I got a M9 here from a friend that i wanted to fix.

Mode: Modified

S-ON

Bootloader: Locked

It began, that the Phone and SMS/MMS apps on the phone dissapeared until one day it didn't even boot up.

Can't flash anything because i can't access download mode or recovery mode, both say:

"Failed to boot to download/recovery mode" in red warning font...

I downloaded all signed htc one m9 firmwares from:

handy-faq.de/forum/htc-one-m9-firmware-ruus-otas-backups-stock-recoveries-t314182/#comment-2885828 and tried to flash every hosd.img file from the firmwares via fastboot. always got back "OKAY", rebootet but still didn't work...

Also tried to follow this tutorial:

handy-faq.de/forum/geloest-htc-m9-wiederbeleben-t320617/?page=1 and tried to flash the other files as well, but they always say "FAILED, cannot flash this partition in S-ON state" for example for aboot or other .img files...

Could you help me? Also read that some M9 have Storage Failures or problems.

I can't give you info of getvar all command in fastboot, because that doesn't work without download/recovery mode.

Thanks in advance!

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
There's probably nothing you (personally) can do. That looks like faulty hardware. The main problem of the M9 is the same that every smartphone with the snapdragon 810 is suffering from. Depending on the usage of the phone the soc is roasting the phone's internals. The latest firmware version fixes the overheating but it won't repair damages that got created while the phone was used with one of the older firmware versions.

If the warranty is still valid you can send the phone to HTC for letting them change the motherboard. The data on the phone is lost, though.

Hey,

woah that reply came fast, didn't expect that.
