Never flash the 0717 build again, and it the problem persist, consider it a potential hardware issue.

Xposed are NOT supposed to be supported (yet).

If you wish to insist on xposed and use older builds, no support will be given to you. Sorry about that.

hello everyone! i have 20170822 build and want to report a bug or two, maybe (?).

1)

sometimes after disconnecting wifi (turning off or walk away from ap) , data from celular network remains off (no letters in signal icon and no internet connection). this is only fixed by switching from lte to 3g or 2g and back. once i do this, lte connects ok.

when the problem is present, does not matter if go to airplane mode and return, reboot, power off, disable/enable wifi. it remains until i switch network gen and return.

it is like the mobile data is off, but off course the setting is on, and does not work to do an off-on cycle in this one too.

2)

i play ingress and when i am inside a building there is no way the game gets my location. it is weird that other gps apps work fine. but i suspect that maybe is related to gps, because ingress uses more complex resourses to obtain localization than gmaps. once i go outdoor the game works fine.

Thank you! the rom is awesome, im very happy!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mimo.aridi:
First of all mate there is a new build which is the 30-8-2017 one. Always check into carbon website to check for weekly updates. Reports of bug on old builds will not be recognized.

1) the bug ur talking about is a very old bug which has a solution of rolling back to stock rom using flashtool. If u search ull see how. But strangely i haven't faced this bug since i updated to latest build which 30-8.

2) update ur rom and report back :)

Upgrade from testing to weekly/final

Hi there!

First of all, I want to thank all contributors for developing this ROM, I've been using it (and the previous Android versions) as my daily driver for a very long time now - it's very much appreciated :)

I'm using Oreo since a few months now (pretty much exactly since the video recording-is-working testbuild was released) and I've been quite happy since. This week, I've tried to update it to the release version - without success unfortunately. I made sure the latest TWRP from OP is installed, flashed the boot.img contained inside the archive and wiped cache/dalvik afterwards. IIt unlocks/decrypts just fine but reboots during the late boot process. The reboot occurs at about the time the testing version shows its Unlock/PIN screen. I have a few questions now (and I think that maybe they should be added to the OP as well, even though I wasn't able to find a similar question using the search function - but I can't imagine no one has asked it yet):

(1) Is it possible to upgrade from testing to the weekly or final versions?

(2) Is it possible to activate logging somehow to be able to find out where it hangs (adb just shows its "waiting for device" prompt, but the computer should be authorized)?

(3) Is it possible that this upgrading bug only affects the latest final version?

Thank you very much!

iam using rr rom and i bought this charger https://www.banggood.com/PISEN-QC2_...pport-Qualcomm-Quick-Charge-2_0-p-983596.html but i dont see quick charging , does ur rom have qc? and what is the deffiferance between cr and rr ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] syafhujuku:
I use aukey q.c 3.0 but no working, then i use original charger and work. :o
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
As far as i know.

1- clean install is a "must do" when moving from test builds to official

2- are sure you have drivers installed? Especially in Windows 10, you need to disable "signture enforcement" before installing the drivers

3- I don't think so
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ahmedy1902:
Does original charger support qc?

I just noticed there is no hi-res audio support in Oreo. Looking at the audio policy there is no 24 bit or 96-192khz output options. I think our phone used to support 24bit 96khz in the stock firmware. Is it possible to reimplement hi res output to prevent all getting downsampled to 16bit and 48khz?

Guys, I am very sorry for multi-mention you, but I still can not use OTA updates. I have right version of twrp(according to quoted post). But it is just not working. Can you provide me some help/ideas how to fix/get more info of this problem?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
Np. But what exactly not working?

The ROM or twrp? Did you mean twrp disappeared?

Are you using official builds or weekly?

Sent by The la li lu le lo using nanocommunication
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Keramblocked:
Reproduce steps:

1) Download new build

2) click install

Expected result:

after entering in twrp - phone installs new build

Actual result:

after entering in twrp - phone do nothing. I still can install new build by downloading it manually with my pc and copy-paste it to phone.

No. I still can use twrp, it just not install new build from OTA app. Sometimes I saw something like *nix terminal fith some red text, but only about 0.1 seconds, so I can not read it.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Cygmon0:
That's weird. I just installed today's build via OTA.

try to re-flash twrp you mentioned up. Via adb fastboot ( not flashtool ) and when twrp tells you ( do you want to install twrp to system)

Just press do not install.

And download build before the latest ( yesterday's build) and flash it.

then try to use OTA

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Keramblocked:
It is very old problem of my phone, first i saw it - there was my april post:

Since it - OTA was never working(I tried it about 10 times), even when I reflash it to new one and managed to install new 6.1

Done, but twrp did not ask me anything after I reflash it via fastboot(see attached file)

Now it dont open recovery at all =(

I still can flash something manually

P.S. Are you sure, that I need to use twrp_3.2.1-s.img, not TWRP-Sirius.img for example?

I'm using latest release of Carbon 6.1 (sirius-20180815-0329) but sound equalizer (sfx) and manuel camera settings (ISO, SHUTTER, EV) has not working properly yet. In addition to this, phone heats up quicker while browsing.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] berkeaydin:
I had the same issue. About %30 of the battery drains overnight for example, and it was not related to apps. Disabling LTE to use 3G solved it for me, now it drains %5 at most.

Weird thing is my cell reception is not that bad with LTE ?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] winer33:
My phone drains also when I closed WiFi and mobile data. And your device when drains from 30% to 5% it's problem too. It must be solved at next update and solve the heating problem also.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] fribriz:
Not sure if it will work for you now, but something similar happened to my Castor once. I left it for dead, thinking the lcd and screen was faulty - would have cost a bomb to replace. Rooted, stock rom, BL locked

On a whim, (after more than a year - by which power would have completely drained), I charged it again and voila! It has come back to life. Touch screen works etc.

I promptly unlocked the bootloader and was on my way to progress from 6.0.1 till 8.1 today.

Good luck with yours!

Hey,

XDA-syncmaster has recently released his kernel sources for z3 and I thought I would give them ago, the result is a cooler and faster device.

Please try https://quickfileshare.org/aiy/boot.img, it also adds some other governors but I recommend staying on the default one.

Also, about rr, its stopped for oreo but... Something else may be coming soon
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] PSaran:
Sry for asking but is by any chance QC is included in it?

Edit - flashed

1. Nice kernel, more granular control over frequencies with overclock and voltage control too.

2. I'd suggest turning on the alucard hotplug if u dont want all 4 core to be online all time.

3. no quick charge support tho.(request of adding it in the future... PLZ.....)

Thx for the kernel.

Has anyone been able to move app to sd card with that rom?

My perfectly fine sd card (formatted in exfat and recognized under official Marshmallow or any other official android) was not recognised out of the box by the phone. Same goes with any TWRP recovery above 3.0.2.0. The only way was to modify fstab by specifying exfat-fuse driver to use.

Now, I reformatted my card on the phone which gave me fat32. A shame for today.

I reformatted on Linux on exFat, now the card is recognised on Android, but no way I have the option to move app to sd.

Unfortunately a deal breaker here... Too bad, as the rom is really ok and simple.
