[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowSlayer1924:
I bought a oneplus 2 and tried to flash a kernel meant for nougat based roms on the stock rom leading to a laggy hot phone so i used the format data tool in TWRP and it deleted my OS. I tried to hook my phone up to my pc in recovery mode, fast boot mode, and qualcomm mode all with the same result. I get this in device manager "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" I've tried every driver every tool. I've tried everything to no avail. The problem isn't that the phone is bricked its just that i can't get the rom on the phone because of the device error. Thank you in advance.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSheen123:
Hello,

Looks like your new to the community so first off welcome! First things first, its practically impossible to brick these phones. I have been in your position before and I didn't know what to do. The quickest way would be to go to one plus live chat and tell them what has happened and they will help you by controlling your PC to fix the phone. They are more than happy to help with a device in this state as its just the software that's gone.

If you want to do it yourself, can you hold the vol down button on your phone and plug it in to your PC (still holding vol down). Then go to device manager and tell me what it says. It should flag up as a Qualcomm device. May have more info (I haven't soft bricked my device in a while)

Hello everyone.

I've heard from many people that the Nougat 7.0/7.1 is a bit messed up, people are facing heat problems and poor performance and battery life, any of you is running a specific kernel or setup to fix these issues? Thanks!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] RavenFoxHound:
Hello, so..

I love this phone, and i want to keep it, but there is a major issue.. The jack output is so weak that it is pathetic.

I don't know how much decibels this is producing, but to my ears this is like 80 db at max if not less while any other phone is easily at 95...

I never had a phone that sounded so lame, and i'm using Marshall EQ Mode earphones. I know this is some kind of sound restriction from the stupid EU government or something..

I would usually root the phone and find an audio mod, but first i don't even know if there is such a mod for the XZP, and the biggest problem is that the root method means loosing DRM and so loosing major functionnalities, which i'm not willing to do

So isn't there any solution ? This is a complete shame, this phone was perfect for me, this is my ONLY complaint with it and i known i can't just live with it since i mainly use my phone as a music player, and music is important for me. At this state, i can't enjoy it at all, even my stupid laptop has a better (louder) sound.

I'm considering switching to a samsung S8 or any other phone that has a better jack output now...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] arjun.arora:
You can't increase the volume without root. I'm using skullcandy smokin' bud 2 earphones and they are plenty loud.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MACHEK:
I have a issue that has perpetually got worse as time goes on. My screen will just black out for no reason, usually only comes back with a battery pull. Occasionally it will turn back on if I press the sides which made believe it was the connector so I took the back off and disconnected the screen cable and reconnected it. Problem still continues. Tried safe mode in case it was an app, still happening. BTW when this happens my lights on my buttons still light up but as the screen is unresponsive I end up having to pull the battery and usually that works (sometimes takes more then once to do it) Other then that the phone works fine. This happens minimum 3 times a day. And lastly if the screen needs to be replaced, what's that run cost wise? Or can just a cable be replaced?
[Xperia Z General] androidfreak70:
As I'm owning an Xperia Z5, since a year and a half, I still find that the Z was the most popular and really well supported device, so many ROMs, kernels, mods, themes and just everything, even Sony supported it for a long period of time, but the biggest part was the people who spent hours to make the best for it, it's such a legend, made by Sony, and the people continued to make it better.

It's a bit sad that I am pretty disappointed with my Z5, it didn't make me happy like the Z, and from the development side? It's nothing compared to what the Z has gotten..

Thanks for reading and have a great day! :)
[Xperia Z General] Zerikwan:
I know, and I still using it for daily.

May I know details of every things that make you disappointed on your Z5? Because I have a plan to upgrade my device, either Z5c or the latest XZ1c.
[Xperia Z General] androidfreak70:
The Z5 lacks a lot of development and support, if you don't care about that then it's not the only issue, the Snapdragon 810 literally sucks! A lot of heat (running at over 50°C all the time) and terrible performance for an octa core CPU, Especially in games, even some cheap Chinese phones performance better, however it's an improvement over the Z, just not that much of an improvement as I expected.

It's not the phone's fault, just the Snapdragon 810 chip, and it's not the only one.

However I highly recommend avoiding any device with a Snapdragon 810 CPU because of the heat, bad performance and battery draining (I barely get 3 hours of screen on time), and I also recommend getting the Xperia XZ Premium, it has a 4K screen and a bigger battery unlike the XZ1 line.

More about the Z5:

Screen: meh, it has a blueish tint that makes the whites aren't so white, the TFT screen on the Z was better except outdoors.

Camera: good but not great, especially indoors, pretty noisy, 4K recording isn't so wow and the 120fps slow motion is too dark and low quality IMO, But it does pretty well in good lighting conditions.

Speakers: not so good, but I was able to get them louder after installing a mod.

Software: the Android 7.1.1 is the last update that the device will probably get, the nougat was a failure on the Z5 and XZ though, so I'm still using marshmallow.

So it's a fine device at the end but if you can go for newer devices like the XZ Premium then you better do!
[Xperia Z General] Zerikwan:
I know about SD810 heating problem. It sucks, but till now, only Z5 family available in my country (so sad). XZ premium was great but I don't like a phone that has screen more than 5 inch. That's why I'm looking for XZ1c. 4K screen is not a big deal for me.

Thanks for sharing.
[Xperia Z General] androidfreak70:
I don't think the XZ1c would disappoint you either, it has nearly the same hardware as the XZP except for the screen and battery, and also, wait for them to come to your country, don't be in hurry.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Frankiefaithful:
Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if there's a way by mod or setting on the Pixel XL where I can remove the text from underneath the icons on the home screen without a custom launcher. Right now I'm using custom icons, but I lose additional app info functionality with the long press using this method.

Thank you

I'm trying to find a good solution to use a wired headset on my 8525. I've heard mixed reviews. There are various usb->headphonejack cables out there but the descriptions are all a little misleading, like this one saying you can plug anything in, such as your favorite pair of stereo headphones:

http://store.xda-developers.com/seidio-audio-adaptore-miniusb-to-3-5mm.html

I've heard mixed reviews about using wired headsets and the quality (which I find strange seeing as wired should be better than wireless...). Anyway, what are your opinions? Do you have any specific recommendations for adapters?

Thanks, as always

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] olly666:
Converters... The headset is the easy part. I just want to know if a usb2headphone thing will work with a headset for conversations (not just for earphones/listening to music...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bay0ub0y:
I've got one of these little inexpensive HTC USB to 3.5mm adapters (no mic) and my 8525 sounds as good as any device I've used with a decent set of headphones.

I've also just ordered this, which looks pretty cool, so that I can have a mic and good headphones without having to make it myself out of the HTC supplied unit - which I've seen other people on these forums do.

Check ebay, or better yet, check out the xda-dev store. :D

[LeEco Le S3 Questions & Answers] Abazinho:
Hi there,

Yesterday I received my New x626 64GB form Banggood, and I experienced the same problem, and usually it freezes when I was opening Google apps, most Play Store, once in Gmail and some times in play store I was losing both sim connection and freezes (reboot)... So now there has been 18 hours I didn't had any Freeze, as result of updating Google Play Services. So you just have tu update Google Play Service by going on Chrome and write " Google Play Service Play Store" and I hope you open in browser and then redirect to Play Store App and do update. If you are not able to go through Play Store than just open from browser this link, download and install that same version... https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...s-11-5-18-440-170253583-android-apk-download/

[LeEco Le S3 Questions & Answers] Yan0303:
Hi everyone, i've bought two x626 and one have freezing problem

i got it with 5.8.018 (freezing phone)

i tried to install different custom ROMs, but the problem is still on its place

finnaly i got full ROM from workable phone via SP Flash tool, after updating freezing phone didn't turn on

so i have a question is it OK to change ROM from one phone to another if the phones the same models?
[LeEco Le S3 Questions & Answers] Yan0303:
Hi, now i found out what partition don't allow to boot phone correctly. It's seccfg.

I've uploaded all partitions from workable phone to broken, except "seccfg"

But problem with reboot and optimizing apps still is here.

Firstly the problem appeared when i turn on wi-fi - phone rebooted and started optimizing apps.

Then i thought problem in wi-fi, i turned off me router from internet, and then again i turned on wi-fi on the phone, all be ok while i didn't connect router to internet. phone rebooted again.

So i thought problem in software, i did wipe and cleared cahes, i changed firmware via TWRP and Flashtool. All this actions didn't resolved the problem.

Couple of times after long "optimizing apps" i had stabale worked phone until i turned it off and then the same situation with optimizing apps and freezing

Please help. I don't know what to do. My brain boiling:). Maybe problem is in the memory or CPU?

[LeEco Le S3 Questions & Answers] Zliefer:
leEco le s3 x626

Had to be a cheap memory card. After it freezes and you get lucky to quickly get into your phone go un-install last few apps you might of installed and back-up all your photos, videos and whatever important documents you need then delete the files on your phone to make more room. It should behave better after this and Facebook app should be speedy once again. I think they might of put 8 gb memory cards in these phones not 16 gb or 32 gb so we're over the limit or something. Otherwise ohone is fast and great but we can't install 30 apps or we ruin it and freezing up grr
[LeEco Le S3 Questions & Answers] Zliefer:
Fixed it.

After an entire day waiting 10 minutes between boots and only a 10 second window to try various things before the phone froze and rebooted, I managed to fix it after exhaustingly trying everything then finally I disable wifi run to settings , app management , installed , Google play store (clear cache, data)

Reboot phone yay no more optimizing 2 of 2 apps and the phone is flying fast again as new 2 mths ago. Somehow Google store ruins these phones so if you notice lagging start in fb app or other apps clear cache and you will prevent it from getting worse to point it starts freezing then the crazy 10 minutes wait grrr. I previously installed zillion apps from now on I'll install lesz and I'll clear chache from time to time. Must be a bug

Hello everyone.

I was checking out this Linux distro. I had the curious thought of - "what would it be like running a touch optimized Linux distro on our phone?"

Although the project is underway, it's far from actually being complete. There's always the possibility of preforming a brick when installing but as the project unfolds, maybe, potentially, we as a community can bring it this way?

Anyone got thoughts on this?

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] bertinister:
Hello,

I need some help.

I have just bought a new Galaxy A5 2017 and after 8 days it turned off and refused to turn on again. Sometimes it turns on. Right now it won't turn on. If I leave it away, one or two days later it shows the 100% battery sign, then it turns on if power is pressed. Let me explain everything I did to the device and I hope someone can help me, before I decide to ship it, claiming for the warranty. I live in Brazil, and here it is better to avoid claiming the warranty because at least I will be without the device for two months.

The first thing I did just after unboxing was to update to Android 7, but of course by the normal way, with the software update offered by Samsung. Then I started configuring things, and I noticed some problem with the wifi. It hanged once on it. On the 8th day, it turned off and didn't want to turn on. I tried the volume up, down, along with the home button. Nothing worked. Then I left it charging. Only after almost 2 days plugged on the wall then it was lit and I could turn on. The first thing I did as to wipe the cache, but it didn't work. Turned off again. Two days later I managed to turn on again, and then I did a master reset. This time the phone started to shut down abruptly. One time the cellphone was in the recovery environment, after turning on with the volume up and home buttons pressed, and it turned off at this point. This must mean something! What I wanted to do was to go back to Android 6, but I am afraid of losing the warranty. If I burn a stock ROM via Odin will I lose the warranty? What do you guys suggest me to do? At this moment I cannot turn it on. The next test I was going to do was to put it in airplane mode, to see if the shutdown stops. But I can' t. I am waiting and hoping it will let me turn it on again as it happened twice. I am very upset! Do you think my device has a hardware defect? Please, help! Thank you very much!

Man once you're from Brazil let's talk brasileiro....

Então cara meu aparelho começou a fazer a mesma coisa. Não estou conseguindo nem usar, porque ele liga e logo reinicia em seguida. As vezes fica algumas horas, minutos ligado e logo reinicia de novo. Ele tá em um boot infinito. Resetei de fábrica e fiz hard reset por recovery mode e resolveu por alguns dias mas o problema volta. Começa com o Wifi ficando ligado sem conexão e depois começa o reinicio. Liguei na Samsung e eles me disseram que já que fiz o hard reset e não resolveu tenho que enviar o aparelho...Acredito que seja algum erro no software. Até queria fazer um downgrade ou instalar uma ROM de outro país via Odin. Mas já que tá na garantia vou mandar o aparelho pra eles...Espero que resolvam...
