App description https://www.cellmapper.net/First_Time_Startup

You are welcome to Join cellmappers in Vietnam, I think we don't have many.

I am more interested in how your device works.

Can you make a screenshot of the app open? and attach it here

Thank you
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] Ticklefish:
Well, I've got this phone now. Got it this afternoon. Initial impressions are good. Yes it's not a powerhouse but, for a mid range device, it's really not bad.

Hopefully I can get it rooted soon then I can mod the hell out of it.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] hpnhannghia:
Yes, hope we can root it soon :highfive:

i want buy this pone (sony xperia xa1)

guys pls tell me i'm totally confused sony xperia xa1 it's best ah and battery power how many hours working
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] Ticklefish:
I've had it less than a day so I can't really comment. But I haven't noticed any significant battery issues so far. I've come from the Z3 Compact and this seems to do everything I need it to do at the moment. The sound is good, picture quality is decent (yes, it's not full HD or whatever but it's a phone..if I really need amazing picture quality on my videos I'll use my TV) and the battery seems okay.

Like everything, it depends what you're using it for. If you spend your whole day playing Pokémon Go at full brightness while listening to music, your battery is going to be annihilated..

You got the phone ? shweet !! I will be getting the phone soon....Nice to see another fellow Xperia 2011 denizen here !! :D
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] Ticklefish:
I was using my 2011 phone until I got this. My Z3 Compact had a broken screen and I had to use something. Going back to ICS was a shock though..

The XA1 is a pretty nice phone. I like the screen and the camera's pretty good. Yes it's not as powerful as the XZ or whatever but it's not as expensive!

While I'm waiting for people cleverer than me to come up with a root solution and a recovery, I've been working on some themes that just change the nav bar icons. Hopefully I can come up with some that are nice enough to share!
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] karandpr:
That will be tough without unlocked bootloader.

I will be unlocking it after 1-2 months atleast.

I will look into methods beforehand though...

Also stuff about re partitioning internal eMMC since ,we cannot have enough memory >_> <_< ...
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] Ticklefish:
I'm not too keen to unlock my bootloader. I'm not worried about losing the DRM but I don't really want to make my camera worse. It's invaluable for taking pictures of the kids..

But I might have to. Especially with more and more apps not working on a rooted phone. Netflix is invaluable for long days at work when there's nothing going on. Hopefully Magisk will work on this phone.

(If anybody from work is reading this, I meant that as a joke. Honest.)
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] karandpr:
It's tough to root w/o BL unlock on Nougat and above devices. Dunno how much effect DRM has over camera. On my Mini Pro/Active ,it was negligible.

Don't need root ,unless I will be going custom kernel + root.

This might be my first Mediatek Device and compiling kernels seem tricky on those.

I do believe XA1 might be one of the cool mid range devices this year and hopefully we can see more developers.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] Ticklefish:
It's newer devices (Z and up, I think) that have the issue with losing DRM keys. Sony have some proprietary code in their camera app that no longer works with an unlocked bootloader. As far as I can tell this only really affects pictures taken in low-light conditions so might not be much of an issue, but it's still something worth keeping in mind.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] AnanduR32:
Ordered phone.. waiting for arrival

After Nexus 5x bootloop problem, had to get rid of that phone, now I've purchased the xa1, hope there will be root, great custom roms coming out for the device soon
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] Ticklefish:
Hopefully. Sony devices have a lot of support. :)
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] karandpr:
Got the XA1 ....Definitely Impressed !!
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] ross23:
I recently bought this phone.

Im very impressed!! Its got a solid build, looks very nice (especially in black).

The battery life on this phone is amazing (compared to my Z5). On the Z5 I would get 2.5 - 3.5 hrs SOT (and sometimes around 4 hrs SOT). However, with this phone I get about 5-6 hrs SOT. Huge difference. And it doesn't overheat like the Z5 does.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] harlz:
I got it. Really love the design and the battery life. The front glass scratches easily, not very happy about that.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] Billy141:
Yeah I've really liked it bar from scratches on plastic (I got a nice silicone / rubber screen protector and I must say it saved the glass) but Seems to go wrong after a few months for a lot of people, I'd love one of the people from may to let me know if it happened to them etc
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] Billy141:
Tbh now that I've had it a whole 2 months stuffs going wrong and has for alot of people (and multiple times I must add) big 3 are touchscreen mic and bending. Lol xa1 the x compact has been good to me tho if u wanted to stick to sony
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] stevegtrlmk:
I have it around two months now it is a decent mid spec phone camera is good and so Is battery three 3gb ram can't fault it for price
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] Jamie1385:
Had this phone for a few days, so far it's great! If you're thinking of getting it (I've so far had no issues) it's a good phone.

-Edit-

Damn didn't notice how old the post was ??
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Angdvl089:
Coming from an iPhone 7 Plus I really want to love this phone. I knew the image quality from the camera wouldn't be as good but I didn't think it would be this bad.

If you look at the images I attached, unedited, no HDR, you'll see the corners are super soft, tons of fringing and chromatic abberation, and distortion.

Is this typical performance for this phone or did I get a dud?

Thanks for any input!

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Angdvl089:
I must apologize everyone, I've been shooting with Canon DSLRs for a while and now Fujifilm cameras. I guess I shouldn't really be comparing a $300 phone camera to those higher end cameras.

But I have noticed some very serious blurring and color artifacts in the corners of my photos. I just wasn't sure if this was across the board or if I had a specific problem. Here is a crop from the top left corner of the first photo of the tree.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] mindmajick:
If you are familiar with DSLRs.. i would definitely use the advanced mode on the camera. You'll have a lot more control over the photos.

It's hard for me to say why the corner of that photo is blurry.. maybe the limb was moving? Closer? Dunno. It looks more like an autofocus thing. Try the "infinity" focus setting in advanced too.

I personally haven't gotten any kind of consistent blurring or artifacts in the images but I DO mostly use the advanced mode.

Why don't you try with the Mobile Upgrade?
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] nicksimoneau:
Probably because like me he won't download 700mb at 20k/sec lol

Hi, two days ago, in the middle of the night, I ve started another root procedure for my idol 4 just after a summer factory reset :D I don't know for what, but i do a wipe system... Gloups !

My idol was bricked.

After more and more test of all app and all driver, adb mode fastboot recovery download mode adb send... Im going to be crazy. Mobile upgrade q 5 506 etc said that my system don't need update and it stop operation. Overdose !

Then I've tested sugar qct sp 11.1.2 and all its ok !!. The process take around 30 min. It detect my phone, root and os ersion a'd the possiblility to flash a new system over the older version (nothing in my case) My idol restart automatically and run now like a charm !... Sent from my idol 4 6055k :)

Thanks a lot for this info !

Ps: excuse my poor english.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] sirdave791:
I can't find the sugar qct sp, could you give me the link ?
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] Coots16:
hi, i've found this program in one thread of this forum @

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/recovery-vodafone-prime-tab-7-t3548560

download the file (vf1400- recovery -boot -tool): this is a zip file.

in this file you found the flasher sugar qct sp gotu2. this is the only program which we can use for the idol 4 and more alcatel devices. install it.

Check if your are using qualcomm drivers.

To be sure: install them and in windows device manager, when the phone is off and connected, go to port com section, reinstall manually qualcomm drivers, that because windows 7 install via Mobile Upgrade Q other drivers.

Then choose in drivers list: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (com xx) for all com port installed, maybe windows send an advice that it s not the correct driver, force it, restart your computer just after.

it works perfectly on my intel based laptop : i3 8go ddr3 windows 7 64 sp1, connected to usb 3.

my phone is in 6.0.1 010.5 w/lbl ... no, my phone was in 6.0.1 010.5 :D

the time to proceed directly depend of your internet connection speed and your lan connection quality (wtf?!?), in lesser degree your computer power. my computer achive full restore approx in 45min ( internet sharing , 4g lte by an old but efficient - after root- sony xperia sp )

if you could, choose an eternet connection or a very good wifi network ( @ my home 802.11n firmware download its at 20kbps in middle condition -far to the hotspot- , up to 3mbps in good condition) My appreciation is amateur but reality

i read in some case it fail. if you are in this situation try: launch win in safe mode with network support , connect to usb 2 port, launch in admin.

quote: i've done the official update via ota in january 2017 plus the official minor update two day later, then i was in 6.0.1 010 05 os, with no big changes except launcher.

since ive done the "update FOTA" via qct (no update, in fact if your are already in -6.0.1 010.05- it overwrite your existing system to correcting partition, files, etc) with the same os version ive seen more change than ota update (setting menu, launcher setting etc etc)

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

i want to know if some people have the same problem with Mobile Upgrade Q:

i've downloaded more version on the official alcatel support site 5.0.0 5.0.6 5.6.1 etc, all versions display when i launch it: mobile upgrade q 4.1.0, on 3 computers the problem is the same.

i remember, i think the 5.0.0 version is correct display when i launch it and this is the only wich can work correctly (detect and try to download) but after device detection, Mobile Update Q display that my phone is on last os version then it dont need update, the process aborded . all other versions (5.0.6 +) detect my phone but don`t connect to the sever to check and download update,it only show error message about my internet connexion (???)

sugar qct, in my case is the only way to resolve my problem.

i hope it can help more users, because ive seen that we are several in this case.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] nicksimoneau:
I'm in the same situation accept I still have acces to my device, it seem there a problem betweek device detection and the Mobile Q software.

[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] Coots16:
Really really be sure that you are using the correct qualcomm driver. Check the version, only one works for me, then rstart your computer. It works over trwp or other recovery, it totally flash your phone storage.

Believe me, im not an expert but just advised user, if you do and check my method line by line, im sure it works. Maybe at the first restart your phone fall in bootloop, reset it and its ok.

Remember in qct, firehose etc or more adb r/w software, you choose your phone by one com port not always by phone name. If you cant choose any com port or if your phone is not correctly dected, for sure it s your adb driver the issue.

BASEBAND: G930FXXU1APB4

BUILD NUMBER:MMB29K.G930FXXU1APB4_RAC_V1.0.0

WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO UPGRADE
[General Questions and Answers] stgibson:
I'm coming across the same issue - did you ever figure it out? I'm thinking of flashing a stock firmware (but can only find an updated one), then rooting. But without being able to access developer options, I'm leary of doing even that.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It might depend on who your carrier is.

Not being able to access developer options? What are you talking about? Go to system settings>about>build number or system settings>about>software info>build number or something similar, find the "build number" or "build no.", tap it 7 or 8 times quickly untli you see the notification that you've unlocked developer options.
[General Questions and Answers] stgibson:
Thanks, [MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION]! I'm going to be using it on AT&T, then on China Unicom. And I want it unlocked. Thus why I got the G930f, not g930a. This phone hasn't locked me out of the system (yet). I did manage to find a build with the same base as mine (G930FXXU1APB4 at https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=07054BA22E5811E6815B0CC47A44B7B2). But my build is MMB29K.G930FXXU1APB4_RAC_v1.0.0, and device status says "custom". When I go into the software info, I can tap on everything else and get a "greyed" response, but not when I tap on build number. Seems to be a locked down version. [Edit: downloading a "developer options" app lets me get to it.] That said, I think this thread (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/s7-sm-g930f-rent-center-lock-workaround-t3518682) may work, even though my device hasn't locked me out like some people have had. I'll try that method this morning with the similar stock build and see.

My main concern is causing an issue because of not having USB debugging and /or OEM unlock enabled. Especially if I go straight to a newer version that may require the pin unlock for boot (I saw one of the stock rom pages, can't find it again right now, with 8.0 roms had warnings all over that pin unlock on boot had to be enabled prior to flashing, otherwise you'd flash it and it'd ask for the pin and no luck).

So do you see any problem being able to flash according to the link above without the developer options enabled? [Edit: now that I can get access to developer options through the app, I'm less worried.]
[General Questions and Answers] stgibson:
For future reference, this worked, following the instructions (modified slightly here) by bishopag at https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/s7-sm-g930f-rent-center-lock-workaround-t3518682 worked, using the G930FXXU1APB4 baseband at https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=07054BA22E5811E6815B0CC47A44B7B2.

1. Install one of the "bootloader options" from Play Store, use it to ensure that OEM unlock and USB debugging (optional?) are enabled

2. Download the Stock firmware of your choice from Sammobile [or from above link]

3. Unzip/unrar it and pull out the BL and CP for bootloader and modem

4. Grab TWRP from https://dl.twrp.me/herolte/twrp-3.2.3-0-herolte.img.tar.html

5. Grab Odin 3.12 from http://odindownload.com/SamsungOdin/#.WFBEZsmB3mE

6. Put the Device in Download Mode (Hold Vol Down, Power, Home)

7. Use Odin to flash TWRP to the device (AP)

8. Reboot into Recovery Mode (Hold Vol Up, Power, Home)

9. In TWRP use Advanced Wipe to Wipe everything except the SD Card. If it fails use Reset Data first, then Wipe

10. Go to Advanced -> Terminal Command -> hit "Select"

11. type these comands

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/sda11

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/sda13

(Note: I got a message that storage was full, but on inspection I could see that the data had been written based on input & output bytes)

12. Do a factory reset with the recovery

13. Reboot into Download mode from TWRP Reboot menu

14. Use Odin to Flash the BL, CP, and AP

15. That's it. Wait for it to boot and setup (might take 5-10 min)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'm very familiar with flashing stock firmware on Samsung devices but I'm not familiar with the things that you are freaking out about.

Flashing a full stock firmware "should" remove the custom binary, it should say "official" when you're done.

As for build number, that shouldn't matter so much, as long as you are flashing a firmware that is meant for your model number. If you'll be using it on AT&T then flashing the AT&T stock firmware for G930F "should" work.

I've never encountered the issues that you are running circles around so I'm not sure my advice will do you any good. I don't want to walk you into any issues that I'm not sure I can help you solve.

Edit: It looks like the member that posted above has the solution you need, give it a try.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
If you are determined to use Xposed then you need to stay on a Marshmallow based Rom, so whatever Rom you find that is compatible with Xposed is going to be dated. Xposed never worked with Nougat based Roms and Android is already testing Android O. Unless you like outdated versions of Android Xposed is pretty much dead.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucyr03:
I get an himauhl m9 and I want to know differences between normal m9(himaul) and himauhl and if I can flash custom roms from himaul.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Don't quote me on it but I "think" it is to do with versions. For example: specific carrier, technical specifications and hardware capabilities. Ie m9, m9s, m9+ etc..

Beamed in by telepathy.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
What got written above is almost correct.

The hima_uhl are the GSM variants that get sold in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Hima_ul on the other hand are the American GSM variants. And since you can convert one GSM M9 to a different GSM variant without any issues you can use a ul custom rom on an uhl device (or vice versa), as well. The differences between those M9 variants are so minor that they don't cause any problems.

However, that ending of the codename has nothing to do with those devices that have a similar naming as the M9 (e.g. the M9+). HTC uses a (sometimes not so) different beginning for their codenames (e.g. himar for the M9+ vs. hima for the M9). Nevertheless, since the M9+ is a mediatek-powered device and has nothing in common with the M9 (snapdragon-powered) except for a similar name and some optical similarities I highly discourage anyone from trying to flash a M9 rom on a M9+ (vice versa will probably not happen since there are almost none custom roms for the M9+).
