This does not work for me. I am starting to think it is a hardware issue, from the audio service causing bootloops on custom ROMs to something else causing dex2opt loops on stock ROMs I think it's just time to accept that our Nexus 4s are old and the hardware is ****ting the bed.

Hi!

After upgrading to 32.3.A.2.33 last night I'd like to share the kernel I made for this device/version.

The kernel was made using the following options:

- Sony RIC is enabled. Disable? [Y/n] Y
- Install TWRP recovery? [Y/n] Y
- Install kcal kernel module? [Y/n] Y
- Found superuser.zip. Install? [Y/n] Y
# Make su permissive (Permits any action as su)? [Y/n] Y
- Install DRM fix? [Y/n] Y
- Install busybox? [Y/n] Y

You can download it from:

https://mega.nz/#F!Q2Rn1QDb!pz6carPgF31fW0Ha4wQJhg

Please note that I am not using SuperSU! Instead I am using PHH's "superuser", that can be found here: PHH's superuser. You must install this app (PlayStore link) after installing the patched kernel!

I am new to Sony devices, I wonder if there is a guide how to install it and I also have some questions.

Do I directly get root access by installing this kernel or do I have to root the phone before installing?

If yes, is there a good guide you can give me how to root the phone?Because actually all I need is the root access not the kernel

[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] duni0s:
Hello,

I recently bough the Elephone S7 from Amazon. Unfortunately, wenn I go to another room, the wifi get's a download speed of ~1mbit altougth I got an internet connection of 20mbit. I did the tests with Speedtest and came to these results(ping and download only).

HONOR 5X. ~14mbit download. Ping of 24ms

Elephone S7. 0.6mbit download and a ping of 24ms

The funny thing is, that the Elephone(in the statusbar) shows a full wifi signal icon. The HONOR 5X shows only 3/4 of it. If I check the wifi connection the Elephone shows a link speed of 2 Mbps?! The HONOR shows a link speed of 65 Mbps. Did Amazon deliver me a broken phone or did I miss something?

Regards.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MJX5:
So I just switched from my Verizon Note 4 running Android v6.x to Samsung S8+ running Android 7.x

I am syncing all my contacts using Gmail contacts. I have also tried attaching a local photo to each contact and no luck there either.

On my Note 4, 1/2 the phone would have the contact photo (see attached).

Does the S8 or Android 7 have the ability to make the photo larger when someone calls in or an outgoing call?

With my S7 Edge I was able to find some oldеr InCallUI.apk and it was doing the job. Although it wasn't working very well with some of the notification bar icons being invisible wile on a call (as they were white color too). But it was worth using it and it was perfectly what I/you wanted.

I hope that someone will make a mod for that for the S8 and I am sure many would love to use it.

[Android Auto General] -Ilkka-:
Hi. I have dvr which came with reverse camera.

It has small round 5pin connector.

I opened a tiny box on its cable, there was a USB hub circuit inside, probably working just as extender.

Now i would like to use my cars own rear camera instead.

I have also huifei HU and it came with buckconverter for power suply and has also yellow video RCA that is now routed to my HU.

I could use a Y-splitter to ged another rca composite video signal OUT, but what do i need to convert it to dvr´s usb INput?

Ps: photo is taken with my new S8plus using auto settings
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bigj0110:
I purchased my S8 directly from T-Mobile today. So when I left the store and started using it more, I realized that it had a few bugs. Before and after the OTA(that was immediately found on my phone to download and install), and even after a factory reset.

First I'm experiencing that the Android/Google pre installed notepad or memo, is completely missing from the device. Completely searching the phone, and even going into the Android OS application settings. Also, even having Samsung do a remote screen share via technical support on the phone, and the Tutor app. Even they couldn't even find it.

Second I'm the type of person that doesn't like any type of vibration on my phone. So I turn off all the vibration in the Android OS settings, even for calls. But for some reason the touch screen home button has some type of forced/haptic vibrate. This happens on any screen, including when the screen is off and I'm clicking the touch screen home button to wake up to screen to use the device. Is this even normal, for only the touch screen home button to make some type of vibration(more specifically, some type of forced/haptic vibrate), when you have all the vibration settings that can be turned on and off in the Android OS settings completely turned off?

Then lastly, I'm having a problem with Google Voice to Text, and Bixby voice to text. What happens is, if I turn off Bixby voice to text in the Android OS settings. So I can use Google Voice to Text. But every few minutes, Bixby turns itself on, and is automatically the default voice to text. Then when I go into the Android OS settings, it appears that the circle turns blue indicating that it was on period when I clearly turned Bixby Voice to Text off in the Android OS settings.

What should I do? Should I return the device and get a replacement immediately. I got it from my carrier this morning at there corporate store. They had a bunch in stock, and when I was there UPS even delived more to the store. I even contacted Samsung, all they can tell me was to send my phone in and leave my phone there for a minimum of two weeks and remain completely with out a phone. Which is absurd, after purchasing a new phone and only owning the device 3-4 hours maximum!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bigj0110:
Just an update, I went back to T-mobile, after speaking to booth Samsung and T-mobile and exchanged my S8. But still the problems persist on the new exchanged S8. Also, this time around it has gotten worst, because this time around I was unable to even Smart Switch the Memo files. Because on my old Galaxy I was at least able to transfer my Android/Google memos to the 1st S8. But from the returned S8 to the new exchanged S8, I was unable to do so. It was not even an option at all(greyed out or selectable)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Joescalon:
I don't think any of these are problems? First it's Samsung notes that is presinstalled second just download a note app. Second the home button has its own vibration setting and their are apps to further customize, I have mine on a super short vibration and changed navigation keys to stay perma black even when keyboard open with an app. Lastly the bixby voice is disabled until they fix it. By default the phone uses Samsung voice but you can enable google voice or get another keyboard. Also don't forget Android is customizable but may have to use an app for it.

I have blacked out my phone, use navbar apps, and use google keyboard.

I did, I dropped it in the tub. Only for a couple of seconds though. Running fine no issues.

I am coming from a mate 9 the only thing I see different is the sim card tray has a big rubber seal on it. I guess if they added the same seal on the mate 9 it could qualify for IP68+. I did drop coffee on the mate 9 and the sim tray became almost glued but it kept on humming until I tried to remove it today. It came out but half the sim card seems to have Melted inside the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
I wouldn't make it a habit of purposely using the phone underwater.

Yes, it can take it.

Should you do it, on purpose? Not really.

Just as you don't test a fire extinguisher or even an airbag, it's reassurance in case of accident that your device won't be rendered inoperable.

Water still gets in things even though it doesn't get inside. The headphone jack has internal contacts and these will get contaminated with mineral deposits left behind from being exposed to water. Sea water is far worse as the salt residue that's left behind is highly hygroscopic (meaning it absorbs moisture) so every time the device is in a humid environment those surfaces become wet to the touch and that wetness is both highly corrosive AND conductive. This is why any gear, no matter what its waterproofness rating is, must be rinsed with *fresh* water after use in marine environments.

In short, your device continues to operate but make no mistake about it, you're reducing its useful lifespan with repeated dunks and swims.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
A sensible reply. Ever since the Sony Xperia Z was released I have been debating (arguing like crazy) with peers that these mobiles are NOT

waterproof

, they have the smallest amount of water resistance. If one reads the manual, and very VERY few owners do, they will realise this water resistance is more of a 'splash resistance' in reality.

Sure Sony had adverts with people making calls while standing in a swimming pool etc BUT soon realised their marketing mistakes. Swimming pool chemicals destroy the protective membranes and cause no end of other problems. I wished all manufactures would simply refer to the mobile as splash resistant.

I have written pages on this very subject. Even though Samsung write that the mobile may be submerged in water to a depth of 1.5M for 30 minutes this is so woefully subjective. Even at surface level immersion in water if you swish the mobile about the force of water induced by movement can and will penetrate the mobiles membranes, its simple lores of science. Sure if one

very gently and slowly

submerges the mobile to 1.5M for a short period in theory all should be well. WHO is going to do that and why would they?

The IP rating is in reality just saying one can answer the phone with wet hands and make a call in the rain. The mobile device is very VERY far from an underwater camera that is designed for that purpose.

To close, its not truly about depth of water and time but

water pressure

FWIW. Soap box awayyyyyy:laugh:

Ryland
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] craftycarper1:
Is water pressure not down to the depth of water? :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
Depth pressure is a static reading.

If you toss the phone into a pool that's 1 meter deep the actual realized pressure, albeit brief, is going to be much higher.

This is why you cannot snorkel with a wristwatch rated at 50 meters. The deeper you want to go the more evident this becomes.

Ryland brings up this point that I left out but is painfully obvious to those familiar with it.

Showering with a device is much different than wearing it on your wrist or hip and walking around even if only submersed under a foot or two of water.

I've seen rainproof electrical enclosures fail and upon inspection find them full of water as if their covers were off during the storm. This happens because heavy rain with no wind and heavy rain with 100mph wind gusts are completely different things. They do make such enclosures that are designed for these conditions and they are much more expensive.

If you really want to play with your devices around the pool including dunking and shooting video underwater, invest in a waterproof case. And even then a few drops of water inside the case won't affect your device. Protection is always better in layers. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Just copied this from W'Pedia. I use watches as an example of how the general public are fooled into believing what is written on the back of ones daily watch, vis:..... Quote........

"Water resistance classification[edit]

Watches are often classified by watch manufacturers by their degree of water resistance which, due to the absence of official classification standards, roughly translates to the following (1 metre ≈ 3.29 feet). These vagueries have since been superseded by ISO 22810:2010, in which "any watch on the market sold as water-resistant must satisfy ISO 22810 – regardless of the brand." [5]

Water resistance rating	Suitability	Remarks

Water Resistant 3 atm or 30 m	Suitable for everyday use. Splash/rain resistant. Not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, snorkelling, water related work and fishing.	Not suitable for diving.

Water Resistant 5 atm or 50 m	Suitable for swimming, white water rafting, non-snorkeling water related work, and fishing.	Not suitable for diving.

Water Resistant 10 atm or 100 m	Suitable for recreational surfing, swimming, snorkeling, sailing and water sports.	Not suitable for diving.

Water Resistant 20 atm or 200 m	Suitable for professional marine activity, serious surface water sports and skin diving.	Suitable for skin diving.

Diver's 100 m	Minimum ISO standard (ISO 6425) for scuba diving at depths not suitable for saturation diving.	Diver's 100 m and 150 m watches are generally old(er) watches.

Diver's 200 m or 300 m	Suitable for scuba diving at depths not suitable for saturation diving.	Typical ratings for contemporary diver's watches.

Diver's 300+ m for mixed-gas diving	Suitable for saturation diving (helium enriched environment).	Watches designed for mixed-gas diving will have the DIVER'S WATCH xxx M FOR MIXED-GAS DIVING additional marking to point this out." End quote.

As you can see a wrist watch rated at 30M is ONLY splash-rain proof!!!!!! Though I am not a horologist some of my family have been for generations and the topic of water resistance is very close to my heart after ruing a VERY expensive watch some many years ago in the shower?!

I keep phones on average 3 months. I'm a serial upgrader. Ever since my s6 I've been habitually swimming with my phone's. Never had a issue other than maybe for 24 hours the speaker is miffeled....Now if you plan on actually keeping the phone for longer than the blink of an eye then if baby it. But I jump on demand waaaaaay too often.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Yes BUT. Its an awful lot more complex than that. There is static water pressure ie 1ATM per 10.33M of depth. Remember the surface is already measured at 1ATM . Add force of movement and those figures can go through the roof.

Fill your bath with water and allow your mobile to slowly sink to the bottom, generally no problem BUT if you hold the mobile in your hand and force it through the water even at 1" depth the force becomes another dimension of added pressure.

Our kids splash us with a garden hose and we all laugh. Get hit by a professional fire hose and it will take you for a ride down the street. Yet another example of water pressure.

The above poster says he regularly swims with his mobile. He adds he changes them every three months. Not only will the constant exposure to swimming pool chemicals degenerate the membranes on the mobile but one fine day he will be very surprised to find he has one screwed mobile. :rolleyes:

Its a 1k€ device. I respect it for what it is. I also change phones at least 3-4 times a year but when I sell them they are brand new and have not been subjected to misuse. :highfive:

I have to simply type "flash twrp.img" following the instructions on twrp site?

Then i have to simply boot into recovery and flash the sony stock patcher.zip?

And then, i have to flash supersu? (i don't know ho to find SSU files...)

[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] f870103:
If you want to flash TWRP, you need to type "fastboot flash recovery <TWRP filename>" (for example, your TWRP image is named "twrp-3.1.0-0-dora.img",

then you should type "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-dora.img")

After flashing, boot into recovery and then flash the sony stock patcher and SuperSU.

You can get SuperSU over here.

Ok, so I picked up the iPulse case on Amazon. Most of the time my phone is bare or with a non-flip case but when I travel or have a business meeting, I dress it up a bit and I can leave my wallet at home. I really hate PU Leather and wanted something that acted like a stand too. Am I asking too much? Yes... but I did find ALMOST everything I wanted in this case.

The case holds up to 3 cards (or 3 cards and a license like I did). The feel is totally premium.

The case that holds the phone is surprisingly soft and the cut outs are perfect. Buttons on the left are easy to get to. There is enough room in the middle to get to them.

I have 2 gripes. One, the pocket is supposed to hold paper cash BUT its just barely small. As a result, its kinda useless. The other is that I wish the corners were rounded more because it feels a little bulky and that would help tons. It is totally worth the price though. Link to it is here.
