[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Derpling:
You might wanna disable gameservice via package disabler, but it's not gonna change anything, i tried EVERYTHING back then, and it happened since Android 6.0.1 on any sammy phone.

Only root and kernel setting can help, as for disabling DVFS that might help more, but will make your UI performance slow, i know all of it as i battled this **** for too long.

FYI, mine Mate 9 replaced the S7, and i don't need to root or tweak settings, Tekken 6 works at 60fps and all other games and emulators work PERFECT, no throttling, the phone unleashes it's power when you need it.

The galaxy might perform well in the most popular games, as for others, the problem will go under the rug, i have a video on my channel of the time i bought S7E, and played angry birds 2 and it lagged horribly

UPDATE SOLUTION:

100% NON-ROOT working update and solution fix for laggy games (decreases lag by 40%!)

Install new launcher (nova) or anything light weight. Do not use Samsung's stock launcher. Too much memory bugs.

you should notice 30-50% less lag and games will be actually playable (remember to always play with game tuner app, with HW+5 setting)

ROOT SOLUTION (100% LAG FREE - Buttery JUST like my iphone 7!) works 100% for me (have not tested other roms yet, please compare performance with other roms if your using it!)

1)Install BatStock Rom in the Samsung S8 Rom development

2)Install BatStock Kernel

3) Root as Usual with magisk

4) After phone has been setup, download Kernel audiutor app

5) Before you play your game, set Minimum and Maximum both to 2314mhz for the BIG cpu & LITTLE cpu

6) Click on governor and change to "Performance"

7) At the top of the settings page, click Apply on Boot

8)DONE! Enjoy your iphone buttery Gaming experience!

My lag in Bleach Brave souls and every other game has gone. So happy I made the decision to go custom rom & kernel!

Please share & thank =)

Isnt it annoying to be changing the cpu frecuency each randomly time that we wanna play? Well, this is a solution and thanks for it! But, what if i just set the cpu profile to "performance" mode? Does it gonna drain my battery life? or does it really improve my game experience?

There is another simple hack for this in your phone using developer options. Just turn on Force 4x MSAA in developer option.

Step 1 - Launch the Settings.

STEP 2- The Settings application launches open. Let’s turn on the Developer Options next. If you are already a developer, then you can skip steps 3 and 4 and go straight away to step 5. Else go to step 3.

STEP 3 - Scroll all the way down and find the option About Phone. Once you do, click on it.

STEP 4- When the About Phone settings open up, scroll down and tap on the Build Number 3-4 times. Now you’ll receive a toast message saying that you are a developer. Hit the back button.

STEP 5-Once you are there, scroll down and find the section for Hardware acceleration. Under this section, check the checkbox corresponding to the option Force 4x MSAA as shown in the screenshot given below. That’s it. Start enjoying your games with the best quality from now on!

For those who have fast dormancy related problems that show up often as huge inexplicable battery drain when using cellular data network (2g, 3g and 4g), it would be very useful to be able to disable fast dormancy!

Now I am asking if anyone of xda knows how to disable fast dormancy in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, since the only tutorial that I know is for Xperia devices and it does not apply to Xiaomi devices.

I have already did a lot of searches on google, but since it really depends on the type of smartphone, I can't really tell what would work out of a lot of guides.

Help is needed here! Thanks in advance! :P

[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] dancer_69:
I tried too and had the same result, only fastboot works.

I also tried to flash a custom logo, but I didn't use the .bat file because I'm using a linux OS. I searched to find a linux version of the script but I found only a request in another device' s thread with no answer from the creator of the tool. So I tried to use the commands from .bat file. I used "cat" command to join the files which I found that is equivalent to "copy /b" and the "720x1280_header.img" which provided, but it didn't work. I get only af small penguin icon for both fastboot and splash which I suppose is the linux kernel' s default splash. For fastboot I used the "fastboot.img" which also provided, so doesn't seems that is the image I made problem.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdpxi:
Hi

My first post here and wondered if any of you would have a neat answer for me.

I am considering getting a Z3 Compact, and have been reading about it and it seems there may have been some issues with Android updates affecting thing slike battery life, etc. I know it can be taken as far as MARSHMALLOW, but some people say it is better to stay at LOLLIPOP, and I have found still other owners saying that they have flashed their phones back to KITKAT, and that this is the best match for the phone.

I am wondering if there is a best answer for what is the best version of Android to be using with this phone?

Thanks!

Robert
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrotherZero:
It's a very difficult question since it depends on what you mean what best is since the term is very subjective. IIf battery life is all you care about then I heard Kitkat is the best because they crippled the Stamina mode in later versions. But that means you will have a hopelessly outdated software when it comes to security updates, which I would think is more important than battery life. But if you want to software thats up to date then you cant be using stock ROM but which means you have to unlock the bootloader which leads to degradation in camera quality. So there are lots of factors to consider.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdpxi:
Thanks BrotherZero

That's useful to hear. My preference would be to have the most recent OS available, which looks like MARSHMALLOW (I don't want to change bootloader and good camera is important)

My concern was just that battery life would be really poor with that. If it's still good I have no issue.

Worry has arisen because I had one for a couple of days that I sent back because the battery was draining very quickly indeed, and I am trying to work out if it is an OS issue before buying again (I really liked the phone)

If its just "not quite as good battery life on Marshmallow, but still very decent" then that's fine.

Thanks

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrotherZero:
I have flashed Kitkat, but I never used it for an extensive period (my phone was delivered with LP). I heard from numerous sources that battery life was exceptional on Kitkat, but it was really good on LP too for mer, so It wasn't like I needed better batterylife and add that Kitkat looked really outdated. With Marshmallow I thought I could slightly worse batterylife, but it wasnt a huge degradation either. So I think you will be fine on that.

About the camera, I don't know how good the quality is now on either LIneage OS or OmniROM (these are the ROMs I'm looking to flash my Z3c with now, they have the most up to date software right now and are also open source, Jaguar looks very interesting too, but the dev just dropped the project a month or so ago) but i felt the camera wasn't that good to begin with on Z3c any way. My LG phones (G2 and G4) always blew it out of the water and I don't think I ever seen a sony phone with a really good camera (which is weird since they make the sensor for everybody else). That's why I dont have any qualms abuot unlocking bootloader anymore.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdpxi:
Thanks again

What I am hearing is that if I buy one, I can upgrade it to MMallow and all will be fine, which is kind of what I was hoping to hear.

I've spent three years with an S4 Mini, so I think the camera will be a huge step up whatever I do to it!!

After the last marshmallow update the battery life seems the same if not better with lollipop also the Phone is faster. Just Do a full repair to be sure after updating it to the last Version from sonys tool.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I would unlock the bootloader and install new LineageOS,I am running it and it is amazing,camera is rock solid and performance is amazing
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwstas 13:
S4 mini's camera is really cool ( had that phone before my z3 compact too! )

For months, I've been using the 4.4 version for my Z3 Compact, cause I sipmly find the camera tons better than Marshmallow! ( Haven't tried Lollipop, I bought the phone with Marshmallow installed! )

On Marshmallow , while you're on the viewfinder, the touch to focus function doesn't work for me! ( I have to tap on the screen to choose where I want to focus, and then use the camera dedicated button, so that the camera starts focusing, while on Kitkat, I just tap , and it focuses immidiately)

Auto focus while video recording is horrible as well, while on Kitkat the autofocus is really fast.

I even found playing GTA San Andreas smoother at 4.4.

What I want to say is that staying at old versions isn't always bad. Sometimes old is gold.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdpxi:
Thanks to all of you responding.

Couple of things:

1 . what do you mean by "do a full repair" after updating?

2. how difficult is doing something like fiddling wth bootloader and installing Lineage? (I probably wouldn't go that far TBH)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantsDownJedi:
On the second question, and also because you're concerned about the camera, if you unlock the bootloader the phone wipes DRM keys that are needed for integration with various functionns. The camera quality will be greatly reduced, audio effects will be reduced, and some other stuff that I was never concerned with and thus don't know what they are. You can backup the DRM keys and restore them after relocking the bootloader for use on a stock ROM, which is a process you'de need to search and find out how to do and isn't too complicated at the moment, however running anything that isn't stock, Lineage, Jaguar, Cyanogenmod, etc, requires an unlocked bootloader and camera quality is going to suffer on these ROMs. Also, if you don't back up the DRM keys properly and unlock the bootloader, you're screwed when it comes to getting them back; they will be deleted forever.

As for fiddling with the bootloader and installing a ROM goes, you need to go to a Sony webpage to unlock it. This voids your warranty. You then use fastboot to install a custom recovery, TWRP usually, and flash the ROM. You can relock it using a tool called Flashtool, which is found in the Z3 compact section somewhere, but you can't use a custom ROM while the bootloader is locked nor use the full features that are included with the stock ROM and will have reduced camera quality and a sligtly distorted image; relocking the bootloader is for the purpose of using Flashtool to put a stock ROM back and restore the (hopefully backed up) DRM keys.

Keep in mind that there are stock ROMs that have been modified to have a locked bootloader, root, implement TWRP where it isn't detected by the phone (so DRM keys still work), xposed can be flashed, etc, etc.

All of this would be a little daunting for someone swithing to the phone right now because the frustrations and progress have been incremental and there isn't a really clear thread I know of that lays it all out, like Backup DRM keys like this, Unlock the Bootloader like this, Install TWRP like this, Download Flashtool here, Relock the bootloader like this, Install a Stock ROM like this, Restore DRM keys like this, Install a rooted stock ROM like this, etc. That said, if you've been on the forum for any length of time it should go okay, the main concern is backing up your DRM keys and once that is done the only concern is, like any other phone, bricking it. If you don't need root and want a good camera, then the question is if you're content with Marshmallow and the fact that there aren't any future updates, or more acurately, you can have root on Marshmallow and a good camera (the current method on the latest stock Marshmallow is the easiest its ever been to get root), but there aren't any future updates.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] gpz1100:
I'm on the latest RR, 5.3.8. Finger print function works, but there's no addition settings available to do other things once the phone is unlocked (gravitybox added some additional functionality, but no xposed in 7).

I've tried several apps that let you configure additional functions to the finger print once unlocked. The entry i'm using is 'toggle notifications'. This works, but seems to add significant lag when unlocking the phone, requiring at least 2 taps to unlock.

Any thoughts or suggestions for achieving this? Ideally it'd be nice to do a slow double tap - first to unlock, second to toggle the notification without having to move my finger from the back to the front.

I don't know if I want a full blown lock screen replacement. When I did have widgetlocker instsalled, i used the same apps as were on the home screen. Layout was very similar.

Solved/Fix: I was able to figure out that the issue was that there was necessary packages that were disabled upon having disabled auto updates. This is the fix, to everyone that is interested! I hope this saves you 6 Hours :eek:

Hey Guys,

I'm having a really big problem. Last week I was in LA for Some Music Business and I ended up meeting a lot of people in the Industry and getting their contact, exchanging messages, etc.. My Note 7 never got the 'Brick' update as I used package disabler to disable incoming updates so I've been using this exact phone for all my mobile contact needs.

Just Yesterday I received my Galaxy S8+ and All morning I've been attempting to backup my Note 7 and restore them on my new Galaxy S8+ and

nothing

is working. I've Tried Smart Switch (Multiple, multiple times), Smart Switch software via Mac, Backing up through Samsung Cloud, Backing Up through 3rd party 'Switch' apps, switching through Wifi, and nothing works.

The issues I have:

- Samsung Smart Switch: On my S8+ it opens and works fine. My Note 7 opens smart switch for 3 seconds and closes.

- Samsung Smart Switch Via Mac OS: It Stays stuck at the backup phase.

- Samsung Cloud Backup: It literally does nothing (as if I didn't even tap the screen)

- 3rd Party Switch Apps: Works on S8+ but Stays Stuck on Note 7 before even beginning the switch process.

I sincerely ask for some help. I've been sitting here in my home for the past 2 1/2 hours getting a headache from this and I want to get out and enjoy the day ( I live in Minnesota and its 70 Degrees today)

I think it's a bad idea. Once you get rid of package disabler the OTA will push and brick it. I would say clear the cash for Switch app and try again.
