I tend to not dwell too much with benchmarking details. Yes they exist for a reason but for me real life situations faster. Small things such as opening the dialer for emergency situations or how fast the camera app opens to capture a memory or opening the Evenote app to write a sudden burst of idea or just simply how fast the phone geo-locates you and using Google Maps to know where is the nearby museum or cash point machine. All these little things matter to me and even if its just 0.5 seconds or 1 second accumulatively it would mean a lot in the end.

The SD625 is built on a newer and smaller process (14nm) coupled with the overall speed of the G5+ surely that makes it faster & better than the SD650 wouldn't it?

My brand new Xperia XZ (now on Nougat 7.1.1) is struggling to even reach 5 hours of SOT. I think every battery saving tip under the sun (apart from rooting) I have done.. From 100% at 6am then down to under 10% by 9pm. I have however kept the Sync on but with limitations (all other Sync within my apps are all turned Off) as I need to have my Calendar and Keep notes up to date.

And is it true a launcher can have some effect on the battery life? And as a related question would Android have better battery life management than iOS?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] FoxTheLegend:
wait what? If you have the XZ why would you even concider the X? Btw 5 hours SOT is just fine

~ Every Second Counts ~

- I have NEVER Used Xperia without rooting. I am replying with the notion in mind that users will eventually root there devices.

-Rooting gives you extra powers to remove bloatware, to avoid batter drainage. apart from other tweaks

- XZ is successor to X

- you can unlock the bootloader and can use customer kernel or STOCK MODIFIED kernel having superSU installed, but

- since your xz is on 7, you must first downgrade it to 39.0.A.1.213 (android 6.01) in order to run DIRTY COW SCRIPT to EXTRACT TA.img, before unlocking boot loader. remember drm keys will still be lost! since there is no other way to get hold of them on android 6. if you may install/flash some how android 5 on your xz and root it via xploits then it is possible to extract both DRMKEYS and / TA.IMG

-take full backup of your data and unlock the bootloader. it will delete all your data. later reflash (clean flash) android 7.1. and flash customer kernel! the device will wakeup ROOTED.

- give RW, permissions to /system via busybox commands in terminal. and you will have RW access to /system to alter bloatware.

XZ is a strong device with medium screen and reasonable batter and with root access, the device can be WONDER in your hands.

I currently owns LT28h, C6603, C5333, E6833 and F5122 and all of them rooted and couldn't be happier to have all of them!
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Gino76ph:
Would love to have Sony again but battery life has always been an issue with me. The low battery capacity also doesn't help. The Qnovo battery tech seem to have very minimal effect. And the poorly optimised software also is a killer.

I still find the general software optimisations of Motorola (Moto G4 & G5), Samsung (Galaxy A & S series) and Huawei/Honor (despite having a heavy skin of EMUI) still find it to have a longer than usual, very good standby time & battery optimisations. I based this comment from my minimal use of their phones and from what I read online.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] FoxTheLegend:
Battery life is the only huge drawback of the xperia x. Many people here say they get 5 hour On screen time but I barely make it to three hours with everything off low and optimised. Its not just me either. I guess it's 50-50 if you get good battery life in your XX
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] sp_1st_timer:
Maybe the FM radio? There's a lot of good spec'd phones which I did not consider in my own list because they don't have FM radio.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] FoxTheLegend:
Didn't know the XZ lacks FM radio. Anyway I'm one of the people who don't use it
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] sp_1st_timer:
Sony has the most useful FM radio found in any smart phone today, because it can utilize the Track ID app. I have been looking for that integrated feature since 2005 when Sony Ericsson was the only phone brand with Track ID capability. Back then it was only useful if the music comes from an external source like a car radio, but not when listening from the FM radio within the phone.

Hello everyone, I went to root my phone today, I used a Youtube tutorial with the exact links/downloads given. Followed the steps but my device is having trouble rebooting, it is just stuck on the Samsung logo flashing and I'm not too sure what to do. Also when it boots up I get the error message in the top left of my screen saying "Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing", hopefully that helps.

You need to flash SuperSU manually.

1. Flash TWRP

2. Format data

3. Flash SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Talentooman:
You simply brick your phone. You need to know that there is not Chainfire-AUTO-Root for Nougat, so you need first flash Stock FIRMWARE from Sammobile, then flash TWRP and flash SuperSU :)

Or you can flash many of 100 roms with prerooted supersu and busybox.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] seppdep:
Hi there,

After upgrading my S7 Edge G935F to stock version xxu1dqd7 (with latest May 2017 upgrades) I had to install TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-0-hero2lte.img) again.

Unfortunately this change will NOT recognise my pattern lock now! I had to re-install the stock image (DBT-G935FXXU1DQEF-20170523093738 with ODIN) using the HOME_CSC file to hold my data.

This re-installation brought me back to the game, but without TWRP and hope for root, but the pattern pin (the same) is now working...

Update 1

Installing TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-0-hero2lte.img) over the new stock image (DBT-G935FXXU1DQEF-20170523093738 with ODIN) without having the pattern lock enabled feature during start will result in stuck on

the samsung title.

Update 2

I had to repeat the step above (stock firmware), so stay now without root.

Will check later with other stock versions

>It seems you didn't format the data partition or dm-verity was not installed. Happened to me, won't boot if >anything is altered like when installing a custom recovery.

Yes, I did it with and without dm-verity, All 3 options,

TWRP (ok, but pattern lock will not recognized)

TWRP + supersu (2.82) (stuck on the samsung logo)

TWRP + supersu (2.82) + dm-verity (stuck on the samsung logo)

Yes, I didn'T format the data partition. Didn't want to lose my data ( Never had a problem to upgrade stock roms on my old S4 and root after).

Before the stock upgrade, I run with the Jan 2017 patch level (I bought this 2 days ago) and was able to root with the above method.

Today I wanted to jump the the latest stock version but run in trouble then.

Update 3

Downgrading to Stockrom from 2017-Jan-30 Germany 7 G935FXXU1DQB3 G935FDBT1DQA8 is not an option (anymore), The system boot up but with lot of errors and it's unresponsable and not usable.

Upgade then to the April patch status (2017-Apr-17 Germany 7 G935FXXU1DQD7 G935FDBT1DQD1) brought me back to operational,

but TWRP + supersu (2.82) + dm-verity (stuck on the samsung logo).

Will try it now with the Februar patch version

Downgrade to the Feb patch status (2017-Feb-23 Germany 7 G935FXXU1DQBX G935FOXJ1DQB2) had the same resut like the Jan version - not usable.

I'll give up now and install the April version without TWRP.

I need root to restore my apps AND data with Titanium Pro.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] doclorenzo:
With the TWRP + supersu root method, no matter what 7.0 stock ROM you use, you will not succeed before you disable boot pin and format data. You can restore data after rooting.

So start with the latest stock ROM that is working 100% for you, flash twrp, format data, flash supersu, and it should work. You have to format data because root and stock rom currently does not work with encryption.

Or even simpler, use the new cf autoroot, however it seems you still have to format data.

I had high hopes that the new cf autoroot nougat binary would work with encryption, but alas it seems it doesnt, at least I had the same wrong pin code at boot issue as with twrp. I havent had time to test it, nor to format data and root, so I am currently not rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] seppdep:
Thank you doclorenzo.

I had success with the latest stock version (xxu1dqd7) and your recomendation to format data in TWRP.

In short: Boot in Download mode, Install TWRP via Odin, Boot into TWRP - format data, supersu (2.82) + dm-verity

and then restore all data. Unfortunately it requires lot of time (at least 4 hrs to restore the apps + more for fine tuning)

Thank you and hope to have a better way with the next stock update and TWRP

[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] Okiera29:
I have the newest Nillkin and it is a bit oversized, which leaves a halo around the edges. Not bad when the screen is on, but very noticeable when the screen is dark. That being said, it did save my bacon this morning. I dropped my phone from about 4 foot up(bobbled the catch) straight onto concrete... it landed on a corner and fell flat on the face. The screen protector did it's job and saved the display. The protector now has a very nice diagonal crack running the entire width, but it still works. Unfortunately, it means I need to buy a new one as Nillkin only provides one in the package. So it is off to Amazon to order my old standby, the SuperShieldz

I flashed my i9000 about two years ago to CM11 using the guide on the CM website. Sadly CM is no more and the website is gone.

the pit file should not be flashed because is dangerous and not totaly needed for reflashing only pda cp and main menu things

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
Pit file will not brick a phone and is required after reverting to stock from a custom ROM as all of them changes the partition layout making it incompatible with stock TW roms.

Without flashing a pit file, the process will not be successful.

I think you're confusing put file with flashing a boot loader which is extremely dangerous.

[General Questions and Answers] rfigueroa1289:
Okay this is my very first post. Let me start off by saying this is like my second Android phone. Previously I had the Galaxy J1 thru verizon but never had any issues. All my other phones have been all iPhones and I don't know anything about Android rooting/flashing etc. I've switched to Android recently after having practically every iPhone since the original. My problem is that I rooted the Amp 2 following the instructions from this thread https://xdaforums.com/general/help/galaxy-2-rootable-t3384285/page4. It worked, the main reason why I decided to root the phone was to gain more system memory which I'm disqusted that Android takes up a lot of it's OS or w.e in its system memory and to bypass Cricket's stupid tethering block on the $60 plan without the mobile hotspot. Once I flashed the file provided via odin and rooted with kingroot, I would get a security notice that unauthorized changes have been made and that I would need to reboot my device, that was fine with me but I did so only to find that the message still appears every fifteen minutes so I disabled it with the package disable pro that I bought on the google play store. The problem I'm having is that I can't encrypt my phone and

SD card. Everytime I try to do so it wont work and I can't even get the SD card to mount properly so I unrooted the phone with kingroot and restored my phone back to factory. Still the same issue.... For whatever reason, it wont let me encrypt the phone again and I cannot get back whatever pictures from my SD card I had and a backup of all my contacts I imported from my J1. All I wanted was to try a custom recovery and ROM but I want to make the phone stock again because I been having so much issues. Like I've stated before I don't know anything on Android rooting and flashing, only iPhone jailbreaks. If somebody can help me out that will be great. I understand that the phone was given to me for free by porting over my number and that I can easily get another Android for cheap but all I want to do is get some assistance.

I downloaded the stock ROM file but I can't seem to flash it in Odin or using the recovery mode if that makes sense to anybody reading this thread. I've tried clicking the AP box to select my file but its a zip file and I can't get it to work.
