I use Nine, as already mentioned, which is great because it can contain a work Office 365/Exchange administrator's access to control your phone, to just within the app. Nine also syncs calendars well, which I really like. I also really like AquaMail. Both apps do fine with Google, Outlook, Yahoo, IMAP, etc.

Is this better than Outlook for Android? Is there anything that will combine one nice email app into one, for both personal and work email? Gmail sucked for my work email as well. Been using Outlook for Android, which is fine, but a bit clunky.

Is there a way to uninstall Gmail app without Root once you have another app? I find it annoying because I use the Gmail for junk signups and things. So I have filters in my app to take care of things, but I don't need notifications from Gmail or the app at all. I tried this method using ADB with no luck.

I hate Gmail myself and tried many.

I have been using K-9 mail from the Fdroid repository. Straight email no bells or whistles.

what I like about it is that it does not show up in the User & Accounts Section either.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
Mailwise is also a good replacement for Gmail.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kcooper:
K-9 for security and privacy

I'm struggling to find an alternative to K-9 (it supports multiple identities but has no print option). All mentioned in this thread either route your email through their servers or can use your email address(es) / scan your email for their own purposes. Sigh!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] charlatan01:

K-9 from F-Droid is not working for me so i went to Nine. I'm glad i did. I have always used it for work, but took another look at it for personal.

Love the security of not having email go through another server. :good: Google already reads enough. I also like that it can have it's own password.

Has anyione tried Aquamail. No routing similiar to nine.

You have to place the FTF file at C:\Users\XXXXX\.flashTool\firmwares

XXXXX to be replaced by your computer user name and note that a dot "." before flash Tool folder name.

Yes, you need to run the flashtool with Admin Rights.

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] prasad.asr1978@gmail.com:
for Security reasons, it is better to update to the latest version. But, about Heating issues with the phone, this Marshmallow version is perfect - 32.2.A.5.11
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] prasad.asr1978@gmail.com:
You can download any country customisation of the update (using Xperia Firmware tool), after installing and adding SIM of your country, it will automatically language & region settings to your country and carrier.

How about battery?

I used to active MXTP on 6.0.1, forgot to deactive and flash 7.1 with different region software. And I can't unlock my phone. Have to flash back to 5.0.1 and repair using PC companion. Luckily, it worked!
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] prasad.asr1978@gmail.com:
For battery, heating and other all the things MM 5.11 Version is the perfect one, unless you want the latest software. Naugat 7.1 (32.4.A.1.54) is also good but a bit less battery and little more heating issue.

When ever you switch on the "My Xperia" option in Bootloader unlocked phones, it will soft brick your phone. The the only option is reflashing any version of the software for that model.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] phineasmax:
I haven't tried to unlock bootloader my phone. So it's still locked. I'm sure that my phone is not unlocked. This M.M rom on my phone right now, I actived MXTP and then deactived it. Now can I flash 7.1 rom of different market? I don't want to risk again because it took me lots of time.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] prasad.asr1978@gmail.com:
Then in your case, it is better to wait till the update for your region available.

Has your screen brightness increased than usual?

In that case, u can use Lux Lite for adjusting ur brightness. Try installing xposed framework and the following modules:

1. Greenify

2. Amplify

3. Power nap

The xposed modules will hibernate ur apps and prevent ur phone from waking up unnecessarily

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum and new to Android as well.

Long story short:

Yesterday I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and SuperSU following this guide. Today I tried to update to Android 7 and Emui 5 but my phone hasen't restarted since then. Same symptoms as dywerd's phone here. Phone off! :confused:

I can't do anything.

- it wont reboot / restart / recover or even blink a led.

- it is not detected on USB. No adb, no fastboot.

No more warranty because it was rooted.

I don't want to open it and unplug/replug the battery as I read somewhere..

Which solution left I have? Bringing it to a shop: what will they do that you cannot solve here?

Many thanks in advance.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] RealPsygnosis:
Hi,

I used to love my Kenzo 2 gb version, untill I found out that his 1,8 gb of ram are so so low. But, is that true?!

I mean 2 gb are the minimun requirement for MM or NG I think, but with miui, miui port, NG based rom (didn't try oreo, or lineage MM), custom kernel, anything the ram management is really really bad.

After only two days of usage, free ram became 200mb or even 100mb with no social media app (just telegram and instagram with no notification allowed) or anything. Doze, greenify, clear ram or not clear it, doesn't change the situation, used ram increase day by day untill the phone is laggy and unusable.

So you have to restart the phone at least every two day. It's crazy today.

On custom ng roms the situation is a bit better but on miui, damn, the ram is so full that sometimes I can't even open the keyboard or camera.

Every 2 gb phones has this issue? is an MM/NG problem? or is a kenzo problem? is there something I (or we) can do to menage ram more efficently (I don't want free ram, I want a ram used in the correct way).?

thank u

Very good question, i suggest you make manual tweaks to lmk (low memory killer), it has helped my rn3 2gb multitask better on oreo
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] shanky535:
I have too faced that problem. It's mainly due to ROMs. Some ROMs have lag no matter which kernel you use or how much tweak it. I have literally tried each and every custom rom which are updated and found only some ROMs which have less noticable lag. Default miui rom, aex, RR by movzx, nos some builds and Oreo, and slim rom. On other rom I tried different kernel and when tweaked it to max but still lagged as hell. Even opening dialer app sometimes froze the system leave aside heavy gaming. This is really serious issue on 2gb because of which we are restricted to certain ROMs.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] denistina:):
I too have a 2GB kenzo, but never had such problems...currently using NOS Oreo and it is fluid & fast. Same on miui.

Right now system occupies around 700MB + around 400MB apps, rest is available. Never had RAM problems myself...luckily.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] VaibhavKumarReddy:
Buy MI device unlock bootloader next day > Flash custom ROMs > RIP ****UI
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] mr.loverlover:
That is the main reason why I've changed my Kenzo 2gb. I wasn't able to use miui at all with this phone, app killing and lagging was a daily basis. So I used the most Ram friendly rom with this phone, but still keeping more than 3 apps in the memory was a problem.

Idk, but maybe it's because of the x64 architecture (similar to pc, this architecture uses more ram). I had many phones with 32gb and x32 architecture and ram was never an issue.

So trust me, I've tried everything to improve the ram efficiency, but not much has changed. The only solution for me to change the phone.

I'm upset that I wasn't told the bootloader was locked when I bought it. It only seems fair to disable the ads, per this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3631406

But what else can I do to customize this (otherwise OK) phone? I've unlocked the Dev mode, disabled/uninstalled some bloatware. Everything else I know how to do requires root, so no Xposed, Titanium, or Tasker. Still feeling cheated -- I researched enough to know to avoid the Verizon one, but I didn't expect Amazon to lock the bootloader.

Any suggestions?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] andMego:
You can return it to Amazon if you want, just tell them it has ghost touch issues (two of mine did) or that the fingerprint sensor doesn't work for apps (most apps don't use the way it does it).

A few notes to answer my own question: I have found some hidden apps exposed by AnyCut, including the Marshmallow Easter Egg (yep, on a Nougat phone), a Wifi calling toggle (that won't work), Testing menu, IMEI/serials lister, and some CDMA and IP network options. Still pretty dismal, in other words.

I have a rooted nexus 5 running stock 6.0.1. How do I know if it has the 'latest' Android security patch? In the other world Windows sends out periodic "critical security updates" but as far as I know there are no such notifications in android.

Is there a tool that determines what patches are present in the installed phone and what it lacks?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
I'll preface this by saying I'm a habitual phone changer. Typically I keep a phone for no longer than 3 months or so before I really want to switch to something else. Ridiculous I know, but generally something about the phone really bothers me, or another phone looks so incredible that I need to try it out. For the first time in a long time, probably years to be completely honest, I don't feel the need to switch at all. I'm fully happy with this phone. I have a 6p to test new Android versions (piece of garbage phone), but otherwise I'm totally satisfied. Anyone else still love this phone, or are you aching to switch?
