[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interestor:
Thanks for the tips. Switching off background data for each, I had not done yet.

I am wondering if I misdiagnosed the problems. 1) the phone uses the battery quickly, months ago it lasted 2 days, now barely 1 day; more than battery wear should be. 2) data signal is intermittent and rare now, months ago it got excellent cellular data, I had never even switched on wifi until recently.

Any advice to solve these 2 problems?

A while, back I tried to rebuff an update. Then the phone kept calling the home base trying to get that software update; interfering with my call signal and consuming the battery. Current problems seem similar to that but not as intense.

Also, as a silly question, I am a noob with obeying the rules and using stock android, is it normal to have your standard apps, like note taking or internet speed apps, just go obsolete when the os updates itself? Do I have to track down and update apps for each new os “security update”?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoBeum:
I just want to let you know that even if bloatware is removed, unless you resize the partition, the free space you gain is in the partition you don't have user access to.

also, unless you strip down most of the pre-installed apps, the most you really gain is about 500mb

you would have liked the guide I had on the sony forums for first boot out of box, it basically stepped you through the process to limit data and apps, and it gave about 2 1/2 days standby, no root required.

Would you guys recommend it? How is performance? I'd be getting this phone and cash, I'm really thinking about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] modaifallah:
You'll like it it's fast and has good battery.. But make sure it's exynos model as it has better root support and way more custom roms.. However if you always used iPhones stick to them as iPhone 7 plus is awesome too :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] crixley:
Thanks for the response! This is actually my first iPhone. It's insanely smooth, much smoother than any other phone I've used, but I still miss a nice Android phone. I have a Nexus 6p as well but the look of the edge is really tempting me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] modaifallah:
Believe me, edge is really useless **** that Samsung puts on its phones. It makes them look awesome but that is its only use. If you're into looks (and that's totally fine) trade your iPhone for S8 instead as it looks way more sexy than the S7. Good luck and Ramadan Kareem :'D

Title pretty much says it, I want green but couldn't find any information on when the other colors would be coming... ?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
I like the grey.

I reserved black. I figure I'll just put a skin on the back to get the color I want.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kinnesotan:
Yeah I'm definitely holding out for the green one. That color combo is awesome.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] cb474:
I like the one with the matte back. Like the green one it says "coming soon." I wonder if they will be available when the phone starts shipping or after that.

Given that the OnePlus 5 is about to be announced and after that the Pixel 2 won't be far away, it sort of makes sense to wait and see what they're like. But I like the unusual design of this phone and the no logos attitude. My biggest hesitation is the lack of a headphone jack and whether or not it will support T-Mobile VoLTE and Wifi Calling.

I find the Pixel design to be boring, but it is pratical. It works with everything. It has the headphone jack.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] krabman:
Don't forget the Note 8, a different beast than the stock Android types but it is looking to bring a high level of badassedness to the fray.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] 911jason:
In the Recode conference sitdown, he showed off a white model with a matte back. I really like the Ocean Depths, but would greatly prefer a matte finish. Hoping that's an option. I'm actually wondering if the glossy/matte option is available for all but the Grey, which is the only one shown without a glossy corner. Probably reading too much into it, though.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] cb474:
Hmm, I didn't think the white one was matte, but looking at the video again you're right, he describes it as matte. It's funny, because in the image you posted from the website only the grey version is shown with the matte back. Maybe there will be a matte option for each color. It's hard to make sense of how what Rubin says in the video goes along with what's shown on the website.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] 911jason:
I'm wondering if the shiny corner indicates the models available in glossy and all will be available with the matte...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] szqnl:
There was an official Twitter post from EssentialKeats (since been removed) where he said that there will be two white versions, the current one available for pre-order is Pure White and that's glossy, and another matte White in the future (I think he demoed it in that interview). It's not available yet due to "cosmetic" issues.

I prefer a matte finish as I detest glossy and reflective things so I will definitely go for the White or Grey once they're available.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] cb474:
Based on that information, it does seem like probably there will only be matte in the White and Grey versions.

Yeah, I hate shiney too. I just hope the cermaic is durable. I've seen mixed things, looking at YouTube videos of dropping cermic phones. Honestly, I'd be fine with high grade polycarbonate, like on the Nokia N9, which I think was a really nice design for it's time, even though being made out of one solid piece of polycarbonate. Don't get me wrong. The ceramic seems cool and beautiful, but it it turns out to be brittle that would be bad.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] danon.brown:

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] EniGmA1987:
I really wish I could get the black one with the gold trim that the green model has.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mnguyen127:
I think I might actually prefer the glossy white. I don't know if it's because it's a prototype, but I don't like that the matte white color has white front screen bezels. It becomes ultra distracting, especially with that camera cut out. There's literally a white line running around that camera. It's far less noticeable on the glossy white on the promo adds where the back is solid white but the front is solid black.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] warea:
I reserved the glossy black, although still unsure. The green looks different but feels a bit feminine (besides not knowing when it will be available). The glossy white looks nice on their website and would cover fingerprint smudges but the matte white shown at the event looked bad and so i have no idea how this glossy white would look in real.

So i went for the glossy black which is all black and make less prominent the camera and pins.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] warea:
White front bezel trim. Different from what is on the essential website.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz9L1b7Sl68
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mnguyen127:
I'm really hoping that's a prototype or the matte white because the way that white line runs around the camera is the most distracting feature I've ever seen on the front of a phone.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] wouwout:
Have there been any updates on the green version? Would buy it immediately :))
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] 911jason:
I love the green, but I think the white is matte, so after seeing how the blank one attracts fingerprints, I'm leaning towards white now.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] cb474:
The white one is not matte. And it was confirmed recently (I think someone got a reply about this from customer support and reported on it) that the matte white version in the video where Andy Rubin introduced the phone was a prototype and will not be manufactured. So if you want matte, I think the Stellar Grey version will be the only option (assuming it actually ever gets released since Essential keeps saying only "soon," which turned out to mean nothing when they blew past their original deadline for releasing the phone).
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] 911jason:
Bummer. Well then maybe green with a clear case if I end up buying one at all. Though the reports on camera quality are dampening my enthusiasm. It's probably going to come down to the Pixel 2, V30, or the Essential.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] korbindallis:
given the low sales, the price cuts and now Andy on leave for "personal" reasons, are we ever going to get the green version ?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] JasonJoel:
Not holding my breath...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Croak:
Well, they did say the Gray would be out before the Green in this week's AMA. And that the Gray was coming soon(ish).

Knowing how tech companies work, and where the project is now, Andy leaving for a bit (or even forever) doesn't have to have any impact on the PH-1's continued updates and rollouts.

He had a vision, he used his connections and "fame" to secure a LOT of funding, then hired folks to make it happen. Once the PH-1 got past prototype he probably had very little to do with the day-to-day operation of Essential, likely spending more time meeting with investors and doing PR than anything else. The people in the trenches probably wouldn't even have known he was gone if not for all the #metoo hoopla.

I have been thinking about getting the Motorola G5 Plus but I want to USE a 256GB microsd card, instead of a 128GB microsd card.

But on the Official Moto G5 Plus website, it says that Motorola G5 Plus microSd card slot ONLY SUPPORTS 128GB microsd cards. So how do I know that when I get the Motorola G5 Plus, that it will support 256GB microsd cards?

Anybody that is in the same boat as me, please tell me any suggestions that you have made. I'm currently in the United States. So the Moto G5 Plus is the only official phone available in the G series

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] ckret:
Well they officially support up to 128gb but you should be able to use a 256gb without any problems
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] manos78:
Hi,

SD limits announced by manufacturers are completly useless... only two causes can make the limit:

- The filesystem used: Any SD card of 64GB or more is "pre-formatted" with exFAT. This is because this is a requiment enforced by the SD Consortium. Then, if the device doesn't support exFAT, they announce supporting only 32GB in SD. But if you reformat the card with FAT32, then you can use 64,128 or more.

- The SD standard supported: original SD has a limit of 4GB, SDHC has a 32GB limit, and SDXC has a limit of 2TB (at time, no card with 2TB exists). Then if the device has support for SDXC (as the Moto G5 and the 99% of smartphones of today), ANY card be compatible... as all cards has less than 2TB.

That's all! The Linux kernel or the Android subsystem doesn't imposse any artifical limit to the SD slot.

True..but I think you are using more than 128Gb then your phone may get slow down.

I'm a IT Professional after a hand trying to unbrick my Herms. It's currently running IPL1.04 and SPL 2.10 OliPro.

I had a failed WM6 install which I think bricked the radio and is now stuck in the bootloader; anyway bottom line is YES i have used the search feature to check the forum for fixes and tried all sorts of things but have just reached a dead end from lack of knowledge so hoping someone would be kinda enough to help via email or MSN to get me back on track.

So I ordered the new battery and charging port, but the battery seems a little suspicious after inspection.

Audio doesn't work after flashing firmware

What I did

So I decided to fix an old problem I had where the Camera/Flash didn't work after flashing Lolipop Firmware to my SM-G530H

I first started flashing old 4.4.4 kitkat XCU firmware to my phone, didn't work out very well due to the bootloader not wanting to be downgraded, of course I didn't realise this and I just kept trying to flash incompatible ROMs

I realised this eventually,then I flashed XCU 5.0.2

I realised that my phone's Baseband was XXU so I fixed that problem

So I did that, it worked, my Camera and flash light worked flawlessly....

Then I realised that audio straight up refuses to work

What I tried

- Flashing Different Roms

- Flashing Different Firmwares of the same baseband

What I thought is happening

at one point I flashed some random PIT,CSC and "PHONE" files, which ended up not working in the end, could that be the culprit?

if so (this turned out wrong)

Note

-Audio doesn't work regardless of whether or not a headset is plugged in

Could someone please tell me a legitimate source to find 5.0.2 replacements for those?

I went all over the internet looking for the solution, couldn't find any.

(Apologies in advance if I sound entitled in this thread)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] vfreeze_31:
Hi,

It has been a while since I have been able to play with custom ROMs as my previous phone was not well supported.

I have just now switched over to the Axon 7 and have just started setting it up as my daily driver. I Installed NucleaROM with LIGHT PATCH, Open GApps and ARISE Sound System. All seems to be working fine but I have one issue and I think it may be a feature from not just the Custom ROM of choice but the underlying source (ResurrectionROM/LineageOS).

When I first setup the phone, it had an option on the lock screen to customize how apps are closed (i believe the term was Smart Close) when the device is idle and the screen is off. I remember looking through it and having options for which apps are closed and which are to remain running.

Since then I have installed a collection of apps, one of which is the Garmin Connect which I need to run when the screen is off.

I am unable to find how to get to these options now. I have looked through the power options and cannot see it.

If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for your assistance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] vfreeze_31:
As I have started to use the phone a little more I have noticed that this is having another effect.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] vfreeze_31:
I have found a workaround for now, but if anyone knows how to control the SmartBattery application, it would be greatly appreciated.

I believe this function is coming from the System App called Smart Battery. I have gone into Settings -> Apps then selected the menu to show system apps. From there I was able to locate the SmartBattery app and disable it.

This seems to be working for me as by Garmin Fitness tracker was losing BlueTooth to the phone before but not now with that app disabled.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] QuantumFluxx:
I'm not entirely positive about this, as I've never heard of that app. At first, I thought you were talking about the screen lock cleaning feature from the power manager on stock. After your follow up post indicating you had actually found reference to the app on your system and a bit of Googling, I was able to find some reference to it. Nothing useful, I'm afraid.

Try using an app that can launch activities, like Nova Launcher or Tasker. Try to find the app in the list, and see if you can launch it by calling for one of its activities.

P.S., if you're running RR, if you have a look at the extended settings, there might be a way to set the nav keys long-press action to a custom activity. Remember to enable the app, otherwise it might not show up in any lists.

I'm using a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 gt - i9305.

When I tried to open the hard reset menu by pressing the volume up + power + home button it went into the download mode and got completely stuck over there. The phone has no charge left.
