[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] pbarrette:
I just happened to be looking through the

hwcomposer.msm8998.so

library for the XZ1c and saw this (pseudocode):

sdm::EnableADSomc() {
if ( miscta_read_unit(2315, 0, 4) == 1 )
{
socket = socket_local_client("pps", 1, 1);
slen = __strlen_chk("ad:on;1", 16);
__write_chk(socket, "ad:on;1", slen, 16);
close(socket);
log("HWCSOMC::%s: Assertive Display ON");
} else {
log("HWCSOMC::%s: Assertive Display disabled");
}
return 0;
}

So, basically, if TA unit 2315 (0x90B) is set to 1, Assertive display is on.

I haven't looked at the XZP library, but I can't image that it's any different.
[Touch Cruise General] enterpryse:
OK, am I the first person in Uk to return my with a fault !!??

The earpiece has failed, not even a squawk comes out from it. The head set and speaker phone still works though.

Devicewire.com wouldn't take it back even though its still in the DOA time-scale. Well at least that was the story until I got HTC on the case. I then decided to send it back to HTC anyway on the basis that they'll probably have more stock.

This isn't a moan the phone is superb, I just figured that it could be the start of a 'known faults' thread.
[Touch Cruise General] Sky740:
The SD slot cover won't close on mine. Apparantly, HTC devices are prone to this fault. However, everything else is working perfectly so I actually chose not to send it back to HTC - didn't want to take the risk of waiting weeks and weeks for another...
[Touch Cruise General] robincop deel 2:
Mine is dead also.

Besides from the phone speaker, all other components work OK. Can only make phone calls using the speaker on the back or via a (BT) headset. I am afraid mine has to go back to HTC also.

[Touch Cruise General] chand4u76:
Mine earpiece had also failed and I returned it back to Devicewire for replacement.
[Touch Cruise General] ianlo:
After using my TC for a long voice call or with bluetooth or WiFi or GPS, the top part of the set becomes warm and when you run your finger across the START menu bar, an "unglueing" sound is heard.

This happens only when the TC set is warm - apparently the top part of the screen becomes unstuck or the glue was not applied correctly.

Had to demonstrate to HTC several times before they decided that it was a faulty set.
[Touch Cruise General] rhov23:
This happens to mine as well
[Touch Cruise General] ianlo:
Apparently this happens to some sets only. I would recommend that you insist for a replacement set or at least a replacement screen.

I was so irritated by that noise that I was even prepared to pay for a replacement screen myself if HTC insisted that it was not a problem.

Fortunately, I managed to get a replacement set as I was within my 14 day 1-1 exchange policy.
[Touch Cruise General] intrancer:
ive had problems with wifi, bluetooth and camera. ive also returned my unit to HTC
[Touch Cruise General] madinga:
I had problems with Bluetooth, Wifi, text messages... Also returned for repair. Hope they send me an iphone back instead...
[Touch Cruise General] Tupac_Shakur:
I sent mine back. I had crappy bluetooth and bad reception, it would drop calls in areas with full signal. Would drop the calls even more when using bluetooth headset.
[Touch Cruise General] robincop deel 2:
Mine is back to HTC for repairs (speaker problem).

Wonder how long it will take them to repair it.

Robin
[Touch Cruise General] SuperJMN:
I also have a faulty unit bought in the UK. I bought it in London, near the British Museum.

My FM tuner and my bluetooth are totally broken. The volume button is too hard to slide.
[Touch Cruise General] badaas:
my first o2 set had a wonky screen, not square in device. my 2nd one the screen was positioned over to the left plus some oily/lcd residue on the middle of both screens, like liquid crystal when you push the display, except this was visible without pressure. plus my first one the jog dial wasnt central and leaned over,, awaiting my third handset, tiresome, epsecially when you look at the price of these things! if id bought one outright, id get my money back i think. shame though, as is a great piece of hardware, just let down by assembly :'(

(oh and video drivers)
[Touch Cruise General] feaps:
BT, Earphone and Radio - Gee!!!

Once upon a time I was about to enter an airplane and then selected Flight Mode.

After that, no more Radio, Bluetooth, neither Earphone. :mad:

USB earphones and speakerphone are okay. :confused:

Some apps do not register accordingly (bug in using the FlashToPermMem function).

Sometimes the phone simply shuts down. :eek:

Darn! I have to return it but I am in Brazil :-(

-Feaps
[Touch Cruise General] Rroet:
My dutch Touch Cruise also lost it's phone speaker today. Not a blip comes out of it. When using the handsfree speaker, I can still make my calls. But I'm not that into calling people where everybody can listen into the conversation..

Back to HTC it is....
[Touch Cruise General] acocq:
I'm returning my new Polaris because I get little to no signal reception although I am in an area where signal strength is not an issue :mad:

HTC Europe told me to send it to the German service center as a DOA and I will get a replacement. I was told to send it everything (incl. packaging).

The German service center has said they don't do DOA swaps, only repairs. And I should send in only the Polaris (even without battery / battery compartment cover) ...

Now HTC is escalating this and they are supposed to get back with my via email with exact instructions :rolleyes:

But, in all fairness, I have to say that HTC Europe (based on the accent I guess they are in England ??) has been very responsive. Not that the problem has been solved yet, but I always find it positive when a company calls back as promised :)

But of course, even better would be to get a product that works ;)

Cheers,

Andreas
[Touch Cruise General] hanko panko:
phone speaker has died

After three months, the speaker of my touch cruise stopped working. Handsfree still works. I did send an email to my provider and am curious how to tackle this problem.

Did anybody solve this already?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marc199:
I'm currently using an HTC One M7. It's still a decent phone, there are even pretty stable Nougat Roms available for it. But it is noticeable struggling when it comes to more demanding tasks. No surprise really, since it's a more than 4 year old phone.

So would you guys say, that the 5X is still worth buying? How is its overall performance? Especially now with Android O?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsamagict:
Haven't used Android O. I don't recommend the phone because there is always a chance of bootlooping. If you are willing to roll the dice then it is a very good phone after modding it. If you want to keep everything stock then it's probably better to get a newer phone with stock android.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marc199:
I read there was this bootloop issue, but didn't do much reading on it. Is it a hardware issue?

Flashing a custom Rom/rooting it would be the first thing I'd do with the phone.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catsruul:
Yeah it's a hardware issue- basically a low-quality soldering job from Qualcomm. Basically the big cluster of A57 cores eventually fail- though this can be rectified with a custom boot.img/kernel.

I recently purchased a Google-refurb 5X simply for O support (and it was extremely cheap), and it's a fantastic phone. However, as a long term device I can't recommend it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marc199:
Well, this is obviously not great. But if this is fixable, it might not be as bad.

Official O-support is one of the main reasons I am thinking about buying it. And since the 5X is also out for quite a while now it's not supposed to be a long term solution.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catsruul:
It's not within the ability of a normal person to fix (ie: reflow/repair the solder joints permanently); however, running the CPU with only the small cores (which is essentially the "fix" for the bootloop) should mitigate the problem beyond the practical lifespan of the device.

I'm perfectly happy with a bit of a performance hit- the camera, fingerprint scanner, speakers, dev support, and notification LED are all heckin amazing.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsuraDas:
No, I would not recommend it, there are plenty of faster phones that you can get for around the same price. Plus the boot loop issue
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
I use N5X since 1y. For my low usage it's fine and stays cool, so I exspect still 2y without bootloop. But 2GB RAM will be or become a bottleneck. Remain the fast Andeoid updates - look here for devices, which got Oreo yet.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marc199:
Yeah, don't know what Google was thinking when they decided to only put 2 GB of Ram in it.

Well, seems like I shouldn't buy it. Guess I'll wait for the Pixel to become a bit cheaper.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _mysiak_:
I am quite happy with this phone, though due to 2 things (only 2GB of RAM and no SD card) I'll move to some of the Android One models as soon as they're available in Europe, most probably Xiaomi Mi A1 (as long as one can unlock bootloader and root it without issues). I want to stay with clean Android and guaranteed, early and periodic updates. Not too many choices out there, Pixel is too expensive for me.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychOlli:
I'd say exactly that. Been using The n5x for 1 year now but thre 2GB of RAM + the SD808 are just too old to compete with devices like the Mi A1. Surely the SD625 isnt a highend soc but it should perform better then the SD808 because of the 4GB of RAM. I personally will wait until End of the year and maybe buy the Mi Mix 2 if i get it for around 350€. We will see.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akopps:
The 5X runs Oreo and is scheduled to receive monthly security updates for a year. This alone makes it still a relevant smartphone. One year from now you will certainly see much newer phones still without Oreo. The form, size, and fingerprint reader are near perfect for me. Its biggest limitation is having only 2GB of RAM which affects multitasking. This is most obvious when you use a web browser for a while and then switch back to other tasks because there is an obvious delay which means that the app is being reloaded.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeuceda:
It's like having a $200+ brick, mine bootlooped in the worst moment possible. Overall is a great phone if you are willing to live with the uncertainty of when its going to bootloop. Save your money and buy something better.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niklus101:
Bought mines mines in june 2016, using it till this date, no bootloop problem (as yet hopefully), totally worth the price imo just make sure you enable oem unlocking in the dev menu in case something happens.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonny19281:
I wouldn't recommend this phone, and overall any LG phone. I didn't get the bootloop issue yet but I read A LOT about it and it seems it will come for you one day for sure, usually after 1 year. The only other serious problem with this phone is the overheating, it overheats even if I don't do anything. Only after chatting with a friend for ~20 minutes on messenger with no other apps running, the phone gets hot. Games are even worse...

Next, the phone is fine with most games but don't expect to run all the AAA games on higher than Low (Modern Combat 5, Minecraft [barely], Mortal Kombat, Asphalts, Gangstar...). Android O is mostly fine, has some issues here and there but nothing too serious IMO.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tobias_Tobi_Tob:
Hi,

I have a rather old Android-Tablet (4.1.1), the Phantom gaming-tablet. It is badly virus infected...As soon as I turn WiFi on it automatically downloads lots of bull****. I can't even untick the box in the settings, that says: "allow uncertified Apps to be installed"...A complete reset of the device doesn't change a thing and I can't even download any anti-virus or firewall because it's way too slow with all the Malware processes running in the background.

Thank you for your help,

[General Questions and Answers] jazee:
Google Software Engineers have made improvements to the operating system over time to the point I believe the necessity and usefulness of these utilities is questionable especially if you are on Android 7 or later. Many people post their experiences with these apps without acknowledging their operating system version which could be significantly different than many other users.

This article "Android Apps You Should Remove Immediately" on Adroid Pit (you can Google it) recommends you get rid of these types of apps.

But there are lots of other articles, forum posts, article comments (mostly older) that swear by these apps.

Maybe out of the dozens of functions in these apps there's one or two useful ones on Android 7 (although my LG G6 already comes with a Smart Cleaner app)

Are the majority of Android 7 users using these apps basically blindly using them because they feel good to use and aren't actually getting the significant benefit they think they are getting? Could many of them, especially the ones that may "try to do too much" actually be hampering your Android 7+ phone more than helping it?
[General Questions and Answers] TheFixItMan:
The only app I would recommend is ccleaner

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.piriform.ccleaner&hl=en_GB

It does the following

clears all apps caches which could save alot of storage space - especially good if you have apps that store alot of cache files like twitter for loading images faster but since in most cases you only look at the image once you really dont need it cache it to load up quicker

It can also do the following if you ask it to

Deletes downloaded files/apks in one click

Deletes call logs

Deletes empty folders

Deletes browser history, clipboard content

And can also

Check the usage of your CPU

Keep track of your RAM and internal storage space

Check out your battery levels and temperature

Any other app which claims to "optimize" the phone probably does nothing unless it does the same job as ccleaner but in my opinion this is the easiest most trusted app to use

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeChannon:
Well you mentioned me but I am a "humble" admin not an expert developer. New features are added by developers, but they don't take orders from Members here or from XDA Admins like me. They are volunteers here and they choose what to develop and work on. Usually they do this for the devices they own or have access to. So development things for your device depends on developers having the same device as you and choosing to work on the same things you want. That won't always happen:crying:

[Android Head-Units] dbarrett480:
Hey everyone,

I had an issue with my previous unit where the screen went dark and nothing would work. Joying sent me a new base unit. I got the new unit hooked up (which isn't the same model or something because it is missing 2 video out ports) and upgraded to 6.0.1. Everything worked fine for about a day and a half and now the touch screen doesn't respond. I can use a mouse and keyboard to navigate the unit but the touch screen doesn't register any touches. I have reflashed the 6.0.1 update as well as done a factory reset. Any other ideas? I really hate to have to end up shipping it back to joying as the process takes forever and now I have to pay to ship 2 units back plus possibly the screen. It is really frustrating. Is the quality usually this bad?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
In MIUI ROMs you can schedule a switch-off and a switch-on time (e.g. the phone can power off at 01.00 AM and then power on at 7.00 AM).

In custom ROMs (at least in the two I've tried, LOS and RR) this option isn't there, and I cannot find an app that can switch-on the phone from the power-off state (for switch-off there are many apps).

Do you know if there is an app that is capable of switching-on the phone when powered-off?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Spukey:
'Security' app, (which is built in to Miui).

Settings.

Battery Usage.

Schedule power on/off.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] zipredictive:
He's asking if there's an app to do that on other ROMs , I think not. Why not enjoying some MIUI? I come from years of stock Android (n1, Nexus s, Nexus 5, Nexus 5x) and... Well it's different but it's not that bad!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
I tried for a couple of weeks (the 8.2 stable), I love some features of MIUI but I feel more comfortable with a ROM similar to stock Android.

But I definitely would suggest MIUI to any non-tech-savvy user out there.

Maybe if the new Xiaomi A1 that uses stock Android include this on/off feature (like other Xiaomi phones), that could be ported to Xiaomi phones' custom ROMs...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] cidxtc:
I don't remember what custom rom I saw with the on/off. I was using my LG G3 so it was 4.x or 6.x rom. So it can be added to custom rom just need to find a Dev willing to add the code and make it work properly.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] za.mi213:
Yes Mi A1 has that feature. I am waiting on it. Maybe anyone can port on other custom roms

[Lenovo Vibe P1 Questions & Answers] dragardien:
Hi !

I have a problem with my P1C72, when I plug it to any computer, it is not recognized as a usb device : in Windows it appears as an unknown device, with a code 43 error, and no hardware identification number (shown as USB\UNKNOWN, no VID or PID)

It does this either in recovery, fastboot or normal use.

It charges alright though

At first I thought it was the USB board, so I ordered a new one, and changed it, but the problem stays the same.

So I am wondering, could it be software related ? Some configuration file that got screwed somewhere ?

Or is the USB controler located elsewhere than on the board with the micro USB port ?

Does someone has an idea ?
