[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Nysskk:
This is weird, I literally just went through this same exact situation. I contacted RAC using the number provided on the lock screen, I explained the situation and they asked for my IMEI, they looked it up and they confirmed it wasn't supposed to be sold to me, they then instructed me to bring it into my local RAC location where they would buy the phone back from me, after I did this I contacted ebay and explained everything that I had done, they said as long as I was able to provide proof that this incident happened and the phone was "stolen" (sold to me without authorization from the RAC it was being leased from) that they would fully refund me.

I went back and contacted the RAC that the phone belonged to and asked them to fax over (to my local RAC) information proving the phone was being leased from them and was not supposed to be sold to me, they were happy to do this for me. I provided the documentation as well as pictures of it next to the phone to ebay and got a full refund (on top of the buyback from RAC for the phone) I then bought a NEW unlocked v20 from Brandsmart USA for 399$ it was about what I paid on ebay (I actually came out ahead because I got a full refund from ebay + a 150$ buyback from RAC)

if you have any questions feel free to PM me, I'll gladly help in any way that I can, people who do this are scum

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Liltman:
Hello everyone,

I have a few questions regarding 4K videos. I tried playing a 4K H265 10bit video on the phone using the native Sony Video app and, although it did play, it was slow as heck. Does the phone support such videos natively (i.e. Hardware Accelarated playback)? Is it an issue of the app itself? Since almost all 4k content, with or with HDR/10bit, is in H265 are we limited to Youtube and Amazon for 4K playback? Do I have to transcode all my 4K Blu-Ray movies to H264 in order to play them? Are there any third party players (e.g. bsplayer) that can play 4k videos (and utilize the phone's 4k resolution, not just play them in 1080p). Thank you all for your time.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] FartyParty:
I downloaded a 4k test sample encoded in x265 and played it with MX player app with hardware acceleration.

Worked perfectly. Smooth as butter.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] atif_afzal:
use mx player
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Liltman:
Thanks a lot for your time. It seems that mx player does not use the phone's native 4K resolution though and displays a 1920x1080 image so there is no point in using it. My question is whether a video player app exists, besides Sony's native one, that is able to use the phone's 4K resolution, not just play 4K videos.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] kot5nik:
I think you can change the phones overall resolution to 4K for that purpose: https://xdaforums.com/xz-premium/themes/mod-change-default-resolution-to-4k-root-t3618843
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] FartyParty:
Tried with Sony Xperia Video app and the 4K sample I downloaded runs the same as it runs in MX Player.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Liltman:
Kot5nik, in my opinion, changing the resolution that android runs is not the proper way to go. Since XZ Premium is a device that supports 4k/HDR i shouldn't have to resort to "adb" to watch a 4k video in another app. Plus, by doing that, battery drain increases a bit, phone dialer app does not work, app switching does not show thumbnails etc.

FartyParty, I stand corrected. You are absolutely right. I took screenshots of both MX and Sony apps and the look identical. Only one difference though. It seems that MX Player doest not utilize HDR. There is a noticeable difference in contrast. You can see the attachments if you want to.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] HYPER-RX:
Here is what i found from testing the device for 4K HDR videos

the device can and will play 4K H265 10bit and even HDR videos but there are things that need to be done to play perfectly

first you need to check for the containers to be mkv or mp4

second using sony app will not allow to play surround sound file like dts, ac3, AAC 5.1 or AAC 7.1

third which i think is very odd and stupid from sony is that how such a powerful device can't play mkv with AAC sound track no matter what stereo or surround.

The trick for this to use software where they can switch container without the need for converting the whole file from mkv to mp4.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] SNOOPLAYAN:
Hi everyone,

I have to also agree with [MENTION=1591985]Liltman[/MENTION] and say that the MX Player does play video content in 4k however there is a very noticeable difference between the stock Sony album player and the MX player.

Sadly the Sony video player doesn't support truehd aac files so the video will play flawlessly without the sound :crying:

The MX Player on the other hand WILL play the sound but the quality of the video seems to take a small hit as it's not as vibrant as the Sony album player. This is because MX Player supports 4k but not HDR :(

I hope that Sony added codecs to make TrueHD sound files compatible with the Sony gallery player on Oreo but I am not very confident about that.

I would appreciate it if someone can find a way around this annoying issue. What software is [MENTION=8372868]HYPER-RX[/MENTION] referring to?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] RJASSI21:
Try VLC guys. When I played an HDR video in VLC it tried to force my brightness to max like YouTube does. However, it had to ask for som system write permission to do it and it didnt work completely. See if VLC does a better job though I found it to be pretty good.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Niko of Death:
MX Player definitely does support HDR. You can tell because in HDR videos, if you try taking a screenshot, the screenshot will simply come out as black, whereas in SDR videos, you'll get a normal screenshot.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] SNOOPLAYAN:
Hi I just tried VLC and you was spot on. I can see that it actually does support HDR however I'm still having audio issues with the sound. Especially the HEVC Atmos 7.1. Do I need to download a codec pack or something?

It's a shame because the video quality is incredible!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] nirai06:
Working perfectly

I tried to play 4k hdr 60fps video using the sony video app. I had no issues with playing it. It was smooth no lags at all.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] mohan_kr:
Thanks I asked the same question earlier glad u tried it..I want to make sure we can relock it before I get the phone. Did u enable oem unlocking in the developer options before doing a fastboot oem lock? Also, make sure you are on stock everything including recovery..
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] r1card0amr:
Hello. I first thing I do always is to install drivers. I start by connecting the phone to the laptop in charge mode, then in transfer files mode, MTP or camera. In this way he will recognise all the drivers your laptop needs.

Also I enter in fastboot mode and recovery so the laptop can recognise the drivers and always reboot laptop and phone just to double check.

What I did was: go to Developer Options and enabled Unlock Bootloader and USB Debugging.

Then I accepted the laptop request on my phone and all drives were OK.

I run CMD and typed fastboot devices to see if it recognises my phone and it displayed a serial number. So I proceed next to type fastboot oem unlock and the process went OK and on my phone it asked Yes or No to unlock and I choose yes.

Then I flash a twrp image by typing on CMD: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (my twrp I'm had other name so I rename it. You need to enable "Show file extensions" in Windows so you can see what the extension is).

I then type fastboot boot recovery.img and the phone entered in Recovery Mode in this case TWRP.

My phone was always connected to the laptop and he open the internal storage window so I drag the supersu inside.

Then on TWRP I wiped dalvik and cache and I went to Install and installed the SupeSU on my internal memory root.

The phone then rebooted and ready to go.

But then I went to developer options and the Unlock bootloader was greyed out. I unroot my phone and flashed a stock recovery for OP5 and the stock image 4.5.2 and when I type fastboot oem lock it always says it can't be flashed.

I need to stock it since I'm giving to a family member and they don't understand much about phones :( and If there's a problem the warranty doesn't cover.

Just installed supersu to try an app. I never install 3rd party roms.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] dhingra_vinay_in:
HOW TO RELOCK..

Install TWRP and Magisk if you don't have them yet.

Magisk should allow you to slide "OEM unlocking" to "enabled"

Reboot to fastboot

Flash stock recovery via fastboot.

Run locking via fastboot flashing lock

Allow it to reboot and upon start up it will say device corrupted (THIS IS NORMAL)

Boot to recovery via the warning start screen.

Once in recovery, sideload latest FW.

Profit.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I usually do it this way (successfully):

Wipe everything but OTG in TWRP

Reboot to TWRP

Flash the full stock OOS zip

Reboot to fastboot

Flash stock recovery

Lock bootloader with the fastboot lock command

[Nexus 6P General] cyberedward:
After looking at several posts in XDA and Reddit, it seems that the BLOD or BootLoop of Death is happening to devices everyday as we approach the 2 year mark of the N6P release. Seems like a hardware issue or maybe a combination of both. My question is that do you guys think that this issue is actually a large number of lemons or that there is really a design flaw. Will all 6Ps eventually BLOD? Is it a matter of If or When?

Also it seems that the batteries were indeed pretty bad, with 4 users that I know personally all experiencing the degradation.
[Nexus 6P General] Eric214:
Well, it's not all 6P's. I bought my 6P last January 18 months + and I still get 6.5 to 7 hours of screen on time. Using Accubattery my estimated capacity is still 88% 3,028mah. I can run my phone to 10% no reboots or shut downs. It's really in how you take care of your battery.

And before you ask, no I haven't changed my battery out. I've never opened my phone due to the fact I want to sell it soon and afraid they heat gun would warp things on the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] KLit75:
Curious if you've seen or heard anything that'd validate your fear... it's certainly reasonable to be cautious, and it does NOT look like an easy process by any means but why the heat gun? It's a very common tool to use for jobs like this.

But to be clear, I too worry the phone won't look/feel the same after a successful battery replacement.

Of course skill levels vary greatly.
[Nexus 6P General] Eric214:
I've seen or heard nothing, but since I'm upgrading to OP5 I was going to sell my 6P to help cover some costs. Looks like they are still selling for about 300-350. That's a nice chunk off the 540 of the OP5. My phone shows zero signs of wear and have never once dropped a phone. It looks like it came out of the box last night and plan to keep it that way for sale.
[Nexus 6P General] KLit75:
Gotcha. And thats a hell of a deal! I've been thinking of upgrading, OP5 is really tempting. If I got $350 for my 6p itd be like a 45% discount. Much better than the trade-ins carriers give you.

Edit-No it's like a 70% discount! $539 for 128 gb 8gb ram. For some reason I thought the base model came in at around $700
[Nexus 6P General] cyberedward:
Really glad to see that you've preserved your battery well. I had to repair/replace my mobo and battery under warranty but I'm worried that the issues will happen again eventually due to poor manufacturing.

Yeah, fortunately I haven't had any issues with hardware on my phone. I'm curious if we'd ever see numbers hardware failure rate.

[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
I have literally never gotten that much sot on this phone, I feel like even if I didn't install any apps and left it in airplane mode I still wouldn't.

My new s7 edge gets me crazy battery life, but the 6p has been disappointing as far as battery life goes.

I think the bootloops and battery dissipation are caused by overheating of the 810, though that's just my professional opinion. Components don't like heat, especially when packed so closely together.
[Nexus 6P General] Grushteniak:
I had this battery issue after 14 months, replaced it 10 days ago - AccuBattery said my battery had something about 40%, now it says 101%. Everything back to normal.

Funny thing is: a month ago, AccuBattery showed 88% as well, everything working fine. Suddenly, 52% and the shutdowns began (no BLOD). I lived with this scenario for 15 days (battery health going down fast), almost bought an iPhone to replace it. Digging around I found a post from a Brazilian dude that brought its N6P back to life buying a battery from a given seller in a known online platform here and I decided to give it a try - battery and replacement costed 12% of what I paid on my phone. I expect to have it working until Pixel 2 pops up.
[Nexus 6P General] RojasTKD:
I'm in the group that after just 14 months my battery is at 67% of it original capacity and my SOT is around 2 hours. The worse battery performance of any phone I've ever owned. And I take care of my battery rarely will I let it drop below 60%, as I try to avoid deep discharges that harm battery longevity.

But no boot looping thus far.
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
as for the long post mentioning updates from MM to Nougat, i believe that the only thing i defintely did notice was with the battery behavior, the first weeks it took much longer to fully charge the battery , and it freaked me out.

now it is kind of normal again, i rooted my 6p the day i have got it haha.

i love flashing custom roms/kernels.

had the 6p for about 10 months now, i love it and really hope that it won't let me down quick.

at least another year would be nice, or 2.
[Nexus 6P General] MikiGry:
So according to what [MENTION=2206340]cyberedward[/MENTION] mentioned from Google tracker replacing EOL battery with new Huawei made battery is like setting timer in a time bomb to another value ...
[Nexus 6P General] KLit75:
I don't know if they'll all bootloop but the battery is crap. After my experience that I documented in another thread, Id doubt anyone who's used the phone for a year has a battery thats holding anywhere close to full capacity.

Mine also shuts down at 20%. Now 4 days out of warranty. I'm gonna fight with the people at Huawei to get it replaced but best case scenario, I have to find a temporary phone for however long it takes to get it fixed.

3 year old phone?-I guess cut your loses.

But within a year?... complete BS! It's defective and they should recall them all.

***And to the OPs original question--what sucks is theres no known cause for the bootloop so you could get the battery fixed and within days, weeks, months you might also deal with that.
