[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FioNyan:
I'm a bit stuck with a weird case; I have a rooted Z3C(locked bootloader) which I achieved by following this thread https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343

It's been working fine for 1,5 year, when suddenly a week ago after the battery was low and shut the phone down, it got stuck in a bootloop while it was charging (already over 40%).

Couldn't get it to boot into recovery mode(nor it was detected by flashtool), until after a few days I was able to acces TWRP, made a backup(still got that, as well of a backup from the TA partition from 1,5 year ago). And then wiped the phone with TWRP as well. After another attempt to boot (which didnt work) it was able to get into the clockworkmod recovery(it's a surprise how that got on there), and chose "restore". There was a blue light and the screen went black. And it did so for over 5 minutes which made me(and a "techie") think it had probably crashed, so we forced shut it off(power button + VOL up, vibrate 3 times).

Since then I'm pretty much stuck with the situation from earlier but instead of being in a bootloop, it is now stuck on the kernel logo "Sony xperia". I can't make it boot in any kind of mode, I can only force shut down by power button + Vol up. It When trying to boot by using power button + vol UP it doesn't do anything; when using power button + down, it directly gets stuck at kernel logo.

At all attempts to boot there is no LED apprearing, LED only goes on for about 5 seconds when plugged into laptop or charger, and last the phone is not detectable by flashtool(or xperia companion).

Currently following this thread and waiting for the battery to drain: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849170

But I wonder if that will do the fix...

In the meantime I'd like to know if there is anyone who might have some tips of what I can try?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkec27:
Can you enter flash mode or fastboot?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FioNyan:
nope, I can't enter either of them.. Unless there is a way to acces flashmode or fastboot mode without using the button combinations?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReggaeRoots:
I've never stayed in your situation. Try turn off, wait the flashtools send the messenger with instructions to plug the phone, press vol. down button and plug in usb.

personally, i don't like end the whole battery in Sony's 2013>2015, because my fist sony, a M2A, after shutdown by low power, never turns on again... only tree reed lights - uhh, sony with jealous of xbox -, i change the battery and the bricks continued. Not healthy to sony hardware do this, i mean.

https://www.engineerthink.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-android-phone/

But if the last option, do that.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FioNyan:
What you are discribing to do with flashtool, I already tried, it doesn't recognise the phone. I even tried "tricks" of different buttons and tempo's bu tthat doesn't help making flashtool recognise the device.

Also I was not able to make the phone completely decharge itself. This morning, after it drained the battery all night long by letting it stuck on the Sony logo, it came up with the battery empty logo when pressing power button. It is not possible for me to drain the battery even more, except if I keep pressing the power button every minute to activate the battery logo...

I tried the instructions from the link you pasted, to get it into fastboot with adb, didn't work, at the first command it already said it couldnt find the device:

C:\adb>adb reboot fastboot

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

error: device '(null)' not found
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaroszek:
So, when You have powered off phone, hold vol- and plug it to computer does led on red than green and off?

And fastboot when phone powered off (hold vol+ and plug usb) doesn't work too yes?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FioNyan:
[MENTION=5064909]yaroszek[/MENTION], no when "powered off phone, hold vol- and plug it to computer" the LED goed red for a few seconds and then goes off(no green at all), and the screen will show the Sony logo.

when trying to fastboot with "phone powered off (hold vol+ and plug usb)" exactly the same happens...

I tried that. The app had to update, before it would go to the pairing screen.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] joebuttons1:
Yeah I just flashed android wear to solve my problem, I held off as long as I could cause I know the difference in OS. I might have compatibility that teizen didn't have, but now I have the battery drain that comes with wear.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] MacGyver_MZG:
First of all, please excuse my English...

I want to connect my Gear2 Neo to my "Huawei P20 lite" (Android 8 not rooted). Unfortunately, on my search in Google I only found very old instructions, which didn't work for me. I suspect it is because these instructions use an older Android version and the apps included do not work on my device. Unfortunately, I haven't taken care of such things at all in the last few years, but I can still remember that the XDA developers always had a solution for almost everything.

Can you help me out here?
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] TacoNikky:
While Tizen is on your watch it is not possible to pair it. You should install android wear to your watch, then you will be able to pair it with your Huawei phone.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] miopedaspunk:
I do have WearOS by Google on my Moto G6 Plus and can't connect, I had done almost everything that was recommended but nothing any tips on this one? (Old phone died on me Moto G4 Play and it worked flawlessly)

It has the Android OS 6.0.1 and wear version is 1.5.0.2884951 if that can help you guys at all.

Cheers
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] slimbudy:
Almost same problem here. Have Gear 2 with the latest software on it(the BOA). It won't pair neither with Samsung or other manufacturer. The only time that pairs is when i've tryed with an older version of android wear on my sony z1 but when showing the updating message, it freezes like that. Pls help people!
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] barrnunn:
Hey, I just got an LG Stylo 3 and cant get my gear 2 neo to connect. I can connect via phone bluetooth, but wear cant find phone and the when I try to connect from the watch the watch wont find the phone. I can answer calls through the watch only. I have the old patch for gear version 2.1.14052101. Any help is appreciated.

i have a Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra

i have no idea how to use my Samsung Gear 2 Neo with my Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra,can anyone help me
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] dersie:
You can not ;) (or flash with an old Android Wear version, not easy and not really good)
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] GabeValentine:
Yeah, there is an old version of Android Wear that works with the Gear 2 Neo. I installed it twice this week. A lot of stuff works, some doesn't.

Some big stuff that works:

• Google Fit App

• Heartbeat

• Pedometer

• Google Authentication

• media controls (I've used Spotify, TuneIn, Google Music), volume control

• notifications, app options (example, delete an email)

• speaker (tested with Google Music → Play on Wear → Sync)

You'll need Samsung Odin, just search and download from whichever site.

I rooted before installing AW. Not sure if I needed to do that but it took 2 minutes.

Go to watch settings and see if you have firmware ending in NE5. If you have any other version, you need a stock NE5 firmware. One of mine had NE5 and one did not. If you have trouble finding a copy that isn't behind a paywall or something else stupid, just send me a message and I'll upload it to Google Drive (I can't post links yet).

Once you have stock NE5 firmware flashed to the device, download the file "R381XXU0BNE5rootfs_root.tar" from this thread and flash it also - https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2773803

Then download the Android Wear file from this post and flash it last - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73542831&postcount=4

The watch will boot into a menu. Select "reboot" and then "system". Give it a few minutes and you should be good to go.

For each file you need to install (stock NE5, root, AW 1.5), follow these steps.

Flashing firmware with Odin

:

1. Connect the device to your PC and open Odin.

2. Hold down the button until the watch restarts (the menu will appear, don't select reboot just keep holding the button).

3. When the logo appears, tap the button 5 times.

4. Tap the button once to select "download" and long press the button. The device should be in "download mode".

5. In Odin, click "AP" and select the firmware file.

6. Verify the default options "auto reboot" and "f. reset time" are enabled. Press start.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] pizza_pablo:
I disagree. Biktor's AW ROM worked great on my Neo, for years. I had the best luck using the Beta 3 version.

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

I reverted my Neo to Tizen from AW, last night and paired it with my Verizon branded, Snapdragon Note 9. No pairing issues. I used the same Samsung Wearable app that I used to pair the Fit2 Pro, Sport and S3. It's seriously old school, compared to the Gear Sport or Gear S3, but works fine.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] d.dipto89:
Can not connect gear 2 neo to huawei p30 android 9.

Even i flash with custom android rom in my gear but no luck can not detect gear on my p30.

Any expert here who can do it..
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] kcallis:
I just dug out my Neo, and I was all set to enjoying my watch until I ran across Google Wear. I am running on a Nexus 6p and Android Gear worked just fine. Not so much with Google Wear. So where can I find a apk that will put me back to being able to make use of the Neo. Not ready to invest in a new watch, and Tizen is not feasible since I am not playing with a Sumsung phone.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] sxynrd34:
I have a gear 2 neo running Android wear 1.5.0.2884951 and Google play services 8.7.01. It connects nicely for notifications and Spotify/media controls for my LG v40.

Unfortunately only one phone app was able to push it's extension app over to the watch. I have been trying to adb sideload (install not push) some older APK files, that appear to complete 100%, but never showup on the watch.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] dlads:
do you have the apk for it or even the version please?

EDIT: DW i just noticed it's a note, i have the new 1+8pro
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] pizza_pablo:
For a non- Samsung phone, you should use the Beta 3 version of Biktor's Android Wear ROM.

Yea that's my concern, Android wear is horrific..

I tried a lot yesterday to get it to connect.

According to the Samsung website a gear 2 should work with even an iPhone, just confused why it wouldn't then work on other Android devices.

I've already got the latest Android wear running, just not a fan. Think it's wear os 6.0..

Calls work but functionality I'd prefer tizen i think
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] dlads:
That link you provided is dead btw
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] pizza_pablo:
I must have not copied it correctly.

It works from the OP of that Biktor thread.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] pizza_pablo:
I guess I'm remembering wrong. It's been a while since I originally flashed AW to my Neo.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] dlads:
It's cool I've got it installed.

Guess tizen doesn't work. I've tried a bunch of gear manager and Samsung gear apks. Maybe it just doesn't work. Plus I'm on Android 11 now

Tbh it was my wife's a few years ago, we found it and turned it on. Couldn't remember if tizen worked on Android or not.

[General Questions and Answers] unknown-2015:
Using a Samsung Galaxy S4, running stock ROM Android 4.3

Have Busybox running, device is rooted.

How can I disable fstrim from running at startup?

I have located plenty of apps to turn it on but none to disable it.

Is there some way I can adb into the Samsung and edit a system to stop trim from running?

Also, I see in Application Manager there is a program listed named "Trim" - is this fstrim?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ShernDog:
I want to trade in my S3 to Samsung so I get $200 off my phone purchase. The thing is, my phone is rooted and the flash counter is tripped/all that jazz. I've used ODIN to flash to 4.3 before so I believe I might have knox and the newest bootloader. Does that mean it's impossible to reset the flash counter and return everything to stock?

Another question is do you think Samsung would care? Their terms are:

In order to trade in your device, it must meet the following conditions:

· It cannot be on a black list of any kind;

· It must be able to be powered on;

· It can only be in a condition consistent with normal wear and tear;

· It cannot have a cracked screen; and;

· It cannot have any water damage of any kind

In no place does it say anything about ROMing or rooting but I don't want to be out $200 and an S3 if it matters. If I can't reset the counter I'll just ODIN to the latest stock ROM and pray.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tonytien:
I'm not sure, but it doesn't sound like they're looking. You won't be able to reset the trip counter, so you'll just need to use Odin to get back to 4.3 and factory reset. That's about as far as you will be able to go.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
You cannot reset the knox counter. Once it's been tripped, no enduser can reset it.

I suggest rooting, using triangle away, and then flash a stock ROM with Odin. That's about all you can do. They will only see it's a problem if they go into download mode.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Char_G:
I agree, it doesn't sound like they care. I'd just Odin back to stock and send it to them. Their main goal is to sell you a new device, they'll probably just toss out the older phones they get in trade

I'm scheduled to get my new OP5 on Friday, 6/23. I'm very excited. I'm itching to get a new phone and hope it is better than my Pixel XL.

Anyone else in the same shoes? Any concerns?

For me is the camera. I can care less about the video issues but I do need a solid camera.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] serialtoon:
I didnt switch per se, i still have my Pixel and plan to keep it as my main Android device, but the OP5 been really solid for me so im almost at the point of switching it over to being my main. This is from someone that hated OP2, 3 and 3T. This phone is pretty damn good!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] martinezma99:
This is great news!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] elpindian:
Same, I'm not switching but I'm going to try it as my daily driver for a couple weeks and see how much I like it. I'm hoping it's the phone that breaks me away from my Pixel XL, the LG G6 and the S8/S8+ couldn't do it. I love my Pixel but should have known better than to get the 32gb model. Hopefully I'll love the OP5 as much!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
I have an XL - interesting to see so many of us here.

My biggest concern is downgrading to 1080p. Luckily my contact lenses make my near sightedness slightly less sharp, so hopefully I don't notice the difference. I pretty much guarantee the camera is not going to touch the Pixel. Maybe get close in very bright conditions in terms of detail, but probably not HDR or low light. It also sucks that there's no 4K video stabilization. I expect the OP5 to perform even better than the Pixel does as far as using the phone goes, and it'll be nice to have capacitive keys to get some more screen real estate and not have to worry about burn in as much. Dash charge is also amazing. I'll be pissed if they don't crank out Android O in a hurry though.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Bundizle:
Why did you hate the 3 and the 3t?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] martinezma99:
I do love my Pixel XL too. Yup, S8 did not cut it for me. After 7 days, I returned my S8.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] liam_davenport:
I have a Pixel XL too thinking of picking a 5 up loved my OP3. OP5 seems an upgrade in every area :good:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
Been playing with the OP5 for a few hours. It's a tough call. The display on the Pixel XL is noticeably better in terms of sharpness. The camera on the Pixel is somewhat better too - not dramatically if you use the correct modes on the OP5, plus the OP5 has the zoom lens and portrait mode. UI fluidity is actually a bit better on the Pixel, but it's a splitting hair's difference. The OP5 might need some more RAM management optimization, because it wasn't keeping every single app in memory like I expected it to - performed about as well as the Pixel did when swapping between apps (not games) on the phone. Dash charge is something to love though, as are the built-in OS features, and the insanely fast fingerprint reader.

Only real issue I'm having is the display seems poorly tuned. My eyes are noticing a jello/wave effect when scrolling icons and text whereas my S8+, Pixel XL, and every other device I've used recently have not done that.

Overall feels more like a sidegrade than anything.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] martinezma99:
Thanks for the excellent comments. Software optimizations may take a few updates. I guess we all have 15 days to return the OP5 so tough decisions ahead. ?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
Returning it isn't ideal - 15% restocking fee. If I don't end up keeping it, I'll just resell it. I really want to like this phone, but the biggest complaint I'm having right now is the damn screen scrolling. I haven't seen anyone else complain about this, so either I'm hyper-sensitive to it, or something is up with mine.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] martinezma99:
There is no 15% restocking fee if you ordered though One Plus. You only pay for shipping if done within 15 days.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
Are you sure? There's one page that mentions a full refund, and another that mentions partial refunds at 85%. :eek:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ram4ufriends:
There is not even shipping fee...I returned OnePlus 3 and 3T at no cost..they provide the shipping label and 100% return as well...
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] bus_ter:
It's the 835 which is the big improvement on the OP5 over the pixel. The rest of the hardware (screen, camera etc) are going to be better on the Pixel. You'll also have up to date android on the pixel for a couple years at least. OP forget about their old phones pretty quickly.

I wouldn't upgrade a pixel to a OP5. In fact if they were the same price I would have bought a Pixel.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] aygul12345:
Could you explain why you returned?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] martinezma99:
At the end of the day, I preferred my Pixel over S8. The curved screen was annoying to me and so was fingerprint scanner placement. I also prefer stock Android over TouchWiz. Pixel is hands down a smoother experience.

Again, all preference. Nothing really wrong with S8.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Honest9:
I have switched from HTC 10. I didn't like the camera on HTC 10. However it is better than OnePlus 5. Didn't notice any performance difference as compare to HTC 10.

Didn't have the pixel but had the Nexus 6p. I love the op5. I have never owned a one plus phone before. So this phone has empressed me. Is it perfect no but is any man made device. What is killing me is how light weight the phone is. It is so light weight I don't feel it in my pocket. So what I think and this is my opinion you need to try the phone for yourself and see if it will replace the pixel. Me I think this phone is worth buying.
